Chapter 374

Bai Liu was silent for a moment, then changed the topic: "Is it okay if I bring someone over to have a hot pot?"

Lu Yizhan over there was stunned, and quickly sighed helplessly: "...you really caught my sheep and plucked the wool, it's ok, when you buy vegetables, buy more. , Buy enough to eat, and then buy Coke Sprite and the like..."

"Buy some more fruit." Lu Yizhan said with an indistinct smile in his voice, "Today's oranges are on sale in my upstairs supermarket. You can buy two catties."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Liu sent a message in the group asking if he wanted to have dinner together tonight, and he got a quick response.

[music]: Wow, it's rare to see in a hundred years, Bai Papi is actually a treat.

[Muke]: Do you need my help to locate it? I know some private restaurants that taste good.

【Tang ‌beat】: Are you drinking? I brought wine to Bailiu.

[Bai Liu]: It's not my treat. I'll take you to my friend's house for dinner, hot pot, and grocery shopping. Tell me what you like to eat, and I'll buy it later.

【Bai Liu】: Don't hit me, take it.

As soon as Bai Liu replied, the group suddenly became lively:

【Music】: Damn, it's a meal! Bai Liu, you have a thick skin!

[Bai Liu]: Then you don't want to eat?

[music]: No! I want to eat! I want to eat shrimp slippery! Hairy belly! Brains! Duck intestines! Lung slices!

[Muke]: Then let me bring some common ingredients to cook hot pot together. Is anyone allergic to seafood?

[Tang ‌beat]: Photo of the wine cabinet. Bailiu, is there any wine you like?

Bai Liu looked down at the news these people kept scrolling to ‌, and her fingers paused for a moment on the shattered phone screen before continuing to type:

[Bai Liu]: Do you eat oranges?

【music】? Eat, why not eat?

【Muke】: I like it very much.

[Tang ‌beat]: Eat, Bai Liu, I have two bottles of orange liqueur, the strength is not high, bring you a bottle?

Bai Liu replied a few more words, called Liu Jiayi, and said that she would go to pick her up later, but Liu Jiayi ruthlessly rejected her, and warned Bai Liu that no one could ride in the back seat of the Hello bike, and then asked Bai Liu to take her The address is in the past, and she can find it by herself.

In the end, Bai Liu and Du Sanying strolled through the streets again. On the way, Bai Liu bought half a catty of shiitake mushrooms, a catty of green vegetables and a catty of enoki mushrooms, and cut half a catty of beef slices, and they went upstairs. The supermarket carried a two-liter bottle of promotional Coke and two catties of discounted oranges.

Bai Liu bought the shrimp, hairy belly and duck intestines that Mu Sicheng wanted to eat, but they were all frozen. There is no fresh one here. Personally, Bai Liu doesn’t mind eating frozen products. If he doesn’t choose, maybe Mu Sicheng will noisy.

But it's useless to make trouble, this pile of things cost Bai Liu 167 yuan.

But in the end Bai Liu still bought it.

He also bought crispy sausages and meatballs, which children would like to eat, but he did not buy brain slices and lung slices. There were no supermarkets, and the vegetable market was closed.

Buying ‌‌ piecemeal, the total cost is 218.2.

Du Sanying anxiously followed Bai Liu, who was carrying a supermarket plastic bag, into an old community.

This community is located in a cluster of living residential buildings. There are one or two large supermarkets and two convenience stores nearby. The gatekeeper of the community is a very old man. He wears a faded military coat. Sitting on a rusty bench, with legs crossed and squinting, he dozed off and guarded the door.

When Bai Liu walked by, the old man swept them.

When the old man saw Bai Liu, his narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and he stared at Bai Liu for a long while: "Are you my girlfriend?"

Bai Liu replied politely: "It's me, long time no see, Uncle Li."

Uncle Li laughed. He stood up and patted Bai Liu's shoulder as a greeting, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for two or three years, and I haven't recognized you for a while."

"Fortunately, you haven't grown this long since your head was high, and you can recognize it after looking at it a few more times."

Uncle Li asked: "Have you been running here with that kid from Lu Yizhan since high school? In the past two years, that kid from Lu Yizhan has entered the house and lived in it, but you have never seen you. Is it?"

Bai Liu paused, and then she spoke again with a hypocritical and polite smile on her face: "I'm working, I'm busy."

"You young people, you just say that you are busy with work." Uncle Li shook his head rather disapprovingly, "You have been friends with them for many years, how can you say that you can't do it?" ?”

"When you were in high school, the three of you had such a difficult time. You supported each other and supported each other. How rare is this relationship? You don't cherish it now. When the time comes, the contact will weaken and you will be hurt. Their hearts, where do you find such two friends who have survived with you all the way from high school?"

Uncle Li pushed the white willow inside, and waved his hand to signal him to go in quickly: "I won't delay you, it's rare, and get in touch with them."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

Bai Liu carried a bag full of ingredients and walked deep into the community.

The residential buildings in the community look very old, the highest is no more than seven floors, so there are no elevators, and the electronic locks in front of the residential buildings are also very old. broken.

Bai Liu didn't care about it, didn't enter the password, just pushed it open and went in.

Du Sanying asked Bai Liu: "Which floor is it on?"

Bai Liu said, "The third floor."

When the two were walking on the stairs, Du Sanying hesitated again and again, but still asked: "Mr. Bai Liu, did you often come here when you were young?"

As soon as the security guard passed by to chat with Bai Liu, Du Sanying quickly distanced himself. He could only vaguely hear some chatting between the two of them, but he could tell that the security guard was very familiar with Bai Liu.

"Yeah." Bai Liu went around the stairs and walked up step by step, with calm lines, "This is my home."

"Sometimes when I can't live in a dormitory or go back to the orphanage, she will give me the key and let me live here."

Du Sanying didn't react for a while, he asked stupidly: "Ah? Why is there a time when you can't live in the dormitory or go back to the orphanage?"

"Because someone wants to accuse me of luring my colleagues to gamble and fight with them, I will be expelled." Bai Liu said flatly, "The principal tried everything possible to get rid of me, an undefeated criminal. The orphanage is also examining my eligibility for funding and considering whether to transfer me to a juvenile detention center."

"I lived in an Internet cafe for a week, and she found me and gave me the key to her house."

Bai Liu walked up to the third floor one step at a time. He was carrying a cold plastic bag and stood beside the old and decayed stairs. When he looked up, he could see the red stainless steel anti-theft door directly opposite. He only needed to take two more steps. can get close.

In the center of the door is an upside-down golden blessing, and on both sides there are spring couplets that have not been torn clean. On the top of the door is a gossip mirror, and a bunch of dried wormwood is placed beside it.

He hasn't been here in over two years, but everything seems to be the same as when he first came here.

In the dark and chaotic Internet cafe, surrounded by smoky smoke, I grabbed Bai Liu from the simple camp bed made of two swivel chairs, and wanted to go out after dragging it.

Bai Liu didn't let her drag him, he restrained him and dragged his wrist half on the back of the chair, his head drooped to one side, because there were three creases on the leather, he half opened it Pi Kanren looked tired and cold at the moment: "...I haven't woken up yet, what are you doing?"

"Go back to school." He turned around and looked at Bai Liu, his tone was very reasonable, "You haven't gone to class for a week, Lu Yizhan is going crazy with you, I didn't expect you to hide in In this small Internet cafe."

"He doesn't need to look for me." Bai Liu said, his eyes closed again, he slid along the arc of the chair back, "We are not people from the same world."

"Now that you have found me, can you let me sleep?"

‌‌Squat: "Internet cafes are not places to sleep."

"Do whatever you want to do. You can play games in Internet cafes, but when you've played enough, you have to go back to the school." He took out the key from his chest and put it on the Putting it in Bai Liu's hand, she said softly, "Go home and sleep."

"Go home, Bai Liu, Lu Yizhan and I are waiting for you."

Bai Liu turned sideways, wrapped her hands in her school uniform coat, buried her face in the sofa, breathed evenly, her skin didn't shake, as if she had fallen asleep and couldn't hear the outside world.

This means that I don't want to spend too much time dealing with it, and I want to drive him away.

After being amused by Bai Liu's face, she couldn't help laughing, she stretched out her hand and rubbed Bai Liu's head vigorously: "Then you can go back after playing here, I won't tell Lu Yizhan where you are going."

"We have an agreement, and I will help you hide it from Lu Lu when you do something bad."

"But Bai Liu, I can help you hide when you did something bad." Standing up, she said, "I can't help you hide when you did something wrong."

"You won't feel guilty for doing something bad, but is it really because you're suffering so badly because you did something bad?"

Looking at Bai Liu, who was slightly curled up on the chair, she suddenly laughed: "If a person feels bad because he does something bad, it means he feels that he has done something wrong."

"From this point of view, Bai Liu, you and Lu Yizhan are from the same world."

As she promised, she left the key to Bai Liu, turned around and left.

Bai Liu couldn't quite remember what happened next, it seemed that he had lived in an Internet cafe until he ran out of money, he only remembered that he took the key to the door of his house and turned the door open For a moment—

Lying on the sofa directly opposite the door were Lu Yizhan and Lu Yizhan, who were huddled together. Both of them had tired faces and slept deeply, and they didn't realize that the door was opened.

The coffee table in front of them was in a mess, with all kinds of documents and materials, transferred, management, school regulations, lawyers, and several sets of unfinished mock test papers mixed together, densely packed on them. The ground is full of notes, and there are many photocopied documents and various letters that have not yet been sent. The addresses are various welfare and institutional units, and there are some famous schools.

On the bottom are two neatly written letters of guarantee.

The object of the guarantee is the orphanage. The content of the guarantee is that Bai Liu's moral education and this incident are not his fault. He wrote more than 10,000 words, and finally said that he will bear the burden of Bai Liu's education. All the expenses were almost covered by the welfare home to guarantee Bailiu, and the guarantor was Lu Yizhan.

The object of a guarantee is the school, there is no content of the guarantee, it just says that if Bai Liu is expelled, she will go with her, and the guarantor is the school.

Maybe it was the sound of Bai Liu flipping through the files that woke them up. The two woke up sleepily, and vaguely confirmed that the person in front of them was Bai Liu.

There was no angry accusation, no angry insults, no crying in disappointment.

Lu Yizhan, who was lazily supporting himself, leaned out from the sofa, over the coffee table, and patted Bai Liu on the head like a good brother: "I'm finally home."

"Don't be afraid to go home just because you've done something wrong." He smiled and said, "A child."

Bai Liu, who was carrying the plastic bag, was silent for a while, then he stepped forward to knock on the door, but the door suddenly opened from the inside.

The man with the garbage bag raised his head and looked at Bai Liu at the door, startled for a moment, then quickly raised his eyebrows, smiled, stretched out his hand to compare skillfully, and slapped it happily. The head of the white willow:

"It's finally time to go home."

She smiled and said to Bai Liu: "Don't be afraid to go home just because you did something wrong, you're still like a child at this age."
