After Lu Ming raised his head and drank a glass of water, he said, “I rarely cook anymore. Since you’re back today, I’ll bring you out to eat as a welcome.”
Hou Ning looked at Lu Ming in disbelief. First, he had cut ties with her, and now he didn’t even cook for her. She wouldn’t believe it at all if Lu Ming said that he was fine.
Hou Ning pretended to be relaxed and said, “Lu Ming, aren’t you being too mean? Is this how you treat your old comrade? You don’t even want to make a home-cooked meal?”
Lu Ming said helplessly, “I’m really a little tired today, and mainly because I don’t have any ingredients yet. We might as well go out and eat.”
Seeing that Lu Ming was insistent, Hou Ning did not force him. She just sighed and said, “Sigh, as soon as I left the army, I hadn’t even returned home and I wanted to go to your place to eat something. In the end, Auntie Song said that you moved here. I rushed over, but my hopes were still dashed. I’m too sad!”
Lu Ming ignored Hou Ning’s sigh and picked up the car keys. He said gentlemanly, “Let’s go.”
Hou Ning resigned herself to fate and followed behind Lu Ming. She looked very different from the Hou Ning that Lu Ming had just seen when he opened the door.
Lu Ming had just opened the door and walked out with Hou Ning when the door next door opened. Lin Yin appeared in Lu Ming’s eyes with the trash in her hand.
Lu Ming was a little stunned to see the girl he had not seen for a long time.
Hou Ning had yet to see Lin Yin. When she saw Lu Ming standing rooted to the ground, she went forward and placed her hand on Lu Ming’s shoulder. She teased, “Why? Are you going back on your word? Have you found your conscience? Are you going to cook for me personally?”
Lin Yin’s gaze landed on the hand that hit Lu Ming’s shoulder, especially the hand that then played with Lu Ming’s earlobes very frivolously and naturally. The owner of the hand even said, “Why are you in a daze? If you don’t decide now, if I starve to death, I’ll occupy the status as your first wife and enter your ancestral grave. ”
Lu Ming was so frightened that he immediately removed Hou Ning’s hand and said to Lin Yin uncomfortably, “Throwing trash?”
Lu Ming did not even dare to call her Yinyin.
He was the one who shamelessly chased after Lin Yin back then. It was not easy for Lin Yin to agree to give him the answer on the day school started, but he hid and only appeared today. Normal people would think that he was fooling around.
When they met again today, they still appeared in such a misunderstanding. How could he have the cheek to call her Yinyin?
Only then did Hou Ning look in Lin Yin’s direction. She hadn’t paid attention to Lin Yin just now and just felt that Lin Yin was Lu Ming’s neighbor. She didn’t expect Lu Ming to have such a strange expression when he saw his neighbor.
Lin Yin only smiled at Lu Ming and said, “That’s right. Throwing trash. Uncle, are you bringing your girlfriend out for dinner? Or did you just come back?” The word ‘girlfriend’ made Lu Ming’s face turn pale.
On the other hand, Hou Ning looked at Lin Yin in surprise and said in confusion, “I remember that Lu Yan doesn’t look like this. Lu Yue doesn’t look like this either. I’ve seen many relatives of the Lu Family, but I’ve really never seen you. Which brother of Lu Ming’s is your father?”
Lin Yin smiled faintly and said, “I’m Lu Yan’s classmate, so I follow what Lu
Yan calls him.”
Hou Ning nodded and said with a smile, “Since she’s Xiao Yan’s classmate, she’s an acquaintance. Why don’t we go out for a meal?”
Lin Yin smiled in response to Hou Ning’s polite words. “There’s no need. I’ve already ordered takeout.’
Hou Ning seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She turned around and said to Lu Ming, “Didn’t you say that you were waiting for takeout? Then if we go out to eat now, won’t the takeout be wasted? We might not be able to get it later, right?”
Lu Ming did not remember the lie he had just told and nodded in a daze.
Hou Ning turned around and said to Lin Yin, “Can you help Ah Ming get the takeout later? Otherwise…
Hou Ning turned to look at Lu Ming and asked, “Since we’re going out to eat, let’s not waste our food. Let’s treat Xiao Yan’s classmates to the takeout later, okay?”
Lu Ming could neither say yes nor no. He was panicking.
If he said yes, he would be listening to another woman in front of Lin Yin. If he said no, wouldn’t that mean that he couldn’t even bear to give food to Lin Yin and was very petty?
Lin Yin smiled and said, “Aunt, there’s no need. I can help you get the takeout. You can come back later and get it. After all, I ordered takeout myself as well. I can’t waste my takeout.”
The word “Aunt” directly made Lu Ming lose it. Lu Ming, who had been silent all this time, said, “She’s not Aunt.. Hou Ning and I…”
