That little brat with the surname Lu is actually going to move into the Li household

  Lu Xiansheng smiled warmly and looked at the only family photo on the wall, asking Lu Er, "Look at your younger brother Lei Chao? He seems not very big, why did you just say he's not going to school?"

  "Because we don't have the money, now Li Chao should also be in high school, so suddenly... our family really can't afford that much money. He said he doesn't want to go to school anymore, and he will work with my mom to support me going to school." Luo Er choked back tears.

  "What about your dad? Doesn't he care about you guys?" Zhi Quan suddenly said.

  "He's dead!" La'er's tears finally couldn't hold back anymore, she gazed out the window and let out a long sigh...

  "Don't you filter what comes out of your mouth? Chen Zhiquan, I don't even know what the use of that brain of yours is! All you do is eat all day! Depressing!" Xuan Sheng seemed to always be blaming Zhiquan, no matter what he did wrong, it was always a barrage of criticism. And Zhiquan just took it as his fault, standing silently on the side, not saying a word.

  Xuan Sheng pulled out a tissue from his pocket, but didn't think that the paper had already been soaked into foam. "Annoying, can't use it... Luo Er, sorry, Zhi Quan didn't mean to."

  In an instant, Zhi Quan's gaze concentrated, "Heavens, what has happened? The monster is actually apologizing, the monster is actually saying 'I'm sorry' so calmly! My heavens."

  Luo'er wiped away her tears, "It's nothing, he just died in our mother and daughter's hearts..."

  "Hmm, I see!" said Shizuka with a careful tone.

  "You two stay here for a while, I'll go in..."

  "What are you going to do?" Zhiquan started talking again.

  "This... you two are soaked and not afraid of the cold, but I'm afraid of the cold, I want to go in and change clothes! And these things have to be said out loud? It's really frustrating!" With that, Luo'er went into her own room.

  When Laolu came out again, there was no one in the main room. Laolu suddenly felt as if something was missing and hurriedly ran outside to find that those two guys were squatting on the low wall eating grapes.

  Luo'er walked quietly past, and suddenly shouted "Hey!" which startled Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan so much that they both stumbled.

  "Lai Luoer, I didn't know you were so bad!" Chen Zhiquan was still shaking when he turned around.

  "Hehe, no way! Who made you two have guilty conscience!"

  "Haha~" Xuan Sheng also smiled and suddenly said, "Actually, you're quite cute."

  The red cloud on Luo Er's face almost made her blood pressure rise for a moment, "Pitiful, no one loves her..."

  The sky has cleared up completely, and the traces of rainwater washing over the ground can no longer be seen, only the fragrance of flowers and grass mixed with the smell of mud can be smelled everywhere.

  Xuan Sheng glanced at his watch and knew that he had already disturbed them for long enough. So, he bid farewell to Zhi Quan and left the Li residence, while Luo Er continued living her life as usual.

  Tonight there is a power outage, and the three members of the Lu family are having dinner around a single red candle on the table.

  Candlelight shines brightly, shadows of candles sway...

  "Ma......" Luo Er's voice finally broke the heavy atmosphere in the room.

  "Uh-huh?" Her mother responded.

  "I think I'll go ask Xiao Xuan's mom for some money tomorrow, first to pay Lei Chao's tuition, and then we can return it to Auntie when we have the money, Auntie won't say anything."

  "Mom sighed, 'We already borrowed over 300 yuan from others because of your fever last month and haven't paid it back yet. How can you still have the nerve to ask for another loan?'"

  "Can't really not let Lichao go to school, right?"

  "I believe that when the car reaches the mountain, there will be a road! Anyway, it's still a week before school starts, let's wait and see. I'll go ask the boss again if we can prepay some salary to cover your tuition fees first. Mom also hopes that both children in our family can study well."

  "Sister, don't think about it anymore, let's eat." Li Chao occasionally picked up dishes and put them in his sister's bowl.

  Another silence...

  "Sister, it seems like someone is knocking on the door?" Li Chao's ears had always been very sharp, but perhaps it was also because tonight was a bit too quiet.

  "I'll go open the door, you guys eat first." Lu'er felt a weight lift off her shoulders as she came out of the main room, standing at the doorway and taking several deep breaths of the night air.

  The door was still being knocked on with a clang. "I'm coming! Stop knocking, who is it?"

  "Open the door, Lier! It's me!" The voice outside the door sounded somewhat familiar, but Lier couldn't quite recall who it was.

  Lou'er opened the door, and with a whoosh, two figures darted into the courtyard. "I've been shouting for half a day, didn't you hear me? Lou'er knocked a few times and you rushed over to open the door so quickly, aren't you being a bit too obvious?" Ah, nowadays' girls! So unreserved!" By the moonlight, Lou'er finally saw that it was Lu Xiansheng and Chen Zhiquan. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Zhiquan started firing away.

  "What are you two doing here so late?" Luo Er asked irritably, her current state was completely different from the way she was during the day.

  Lu Xiansheng looked at the candles lit in the house and loudly asked, "I'm here to find your mother, is she home?"

  "What are you looking for my mom? Are you two sick?" Luo Er blocked their way.

  Xuan Sheng still smiled and walked straight into the hall of the Li family.

  As soon as Li Chao saw someone coming in, he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up, loudly asking, "Who are you? What brings you to my home? We don't seem to know each other. What business do you have?"

  Lu Xiansheng looked at Luo Er's mother and bowed slightly, "Auntie, we are students from Xingyi Middle School. We want to rent your house, so we came to disturb you so late. Please forgive us!"

  The mother of the fallen child moved two stools and let them sit down, "Hehe ~ renting a house? You'd better go somewhere else to take a look ~ our family conditions are not very good, just three rooms, no extra room to rent to you, and our home is far from Xingzhong, there is a distance of nearly eight or nine kilometers, if you want to rent a house to live by yourself, it's better to go to the school nearby to take a look, in this way, you can avoid wasting time on the road, and the environment near the school is also good, with many restaurants and dormitories."

  "Auntie, we like it here. Running around, we like it, and it's also good exercise for the body. It's not bad at all, and you said your family doesn't have a house, but if you want to rent one, there are some available."

  When Lu Xuan Sheng was speaking, Zhi Quan stood quietly on the side, Luo Er couldn't help but want to laugh at this, it's so not in line with Zhi Quan's personality! Who knows how long it took Lu Xuan Sheng to train him to be so obedient.

  Li Chao was perplexed. "Where else can you find a place to live? Are you going to move into my room and I'll go sleep outside with the rabbits?"

  "It's unnecessary to sleep with a rabbit, but we can sleep with you." Lu Xiangsheng finally managed to say this sentence with great difficulty.

  In an instant, three pairs of eyes stared at Xuan Sheng in unison.

  "Three big men sleeping in one bed? You're not cramped, I am." Li Chao was very angry today, and Lu Xiansheng happened to be caught in the crossfire!

  "We don't have to sleep together, we can buy our own beds. Your room is very long and can fit three beds in a row, even if we add a few more it's no problem. Haven't you noticed? If we only put one bed, one desk, and one sofa in that room, it would be a bit too empty. We can move the sofa under the grape arbor, and at night we can sit there to enjoy the cool breeze, chat, discuss our homework... then we can buy beds and arrange them in a row, isn't that just right? Not to mention one desk, we can even add two desks and two closets, and still have plenty of space."

  "You mean you two want to live in one room with Lí Chāo?" Luòér's mother finally understood Xuàn Shèng's meaning!

  "Hmm, both of our parents are doing business and don't have a fixed place to stay, so they can only let me and Shizuka live outside. Here, my dad wrote a note for you!" She said, handing over a piece of paper.

  "My dad also hopes that we can live in a house with students, to supervise and learn from each other, which is good for us. He also hopes that we won't be arrogant or complacent, experience life, and doesn't want us to just drift through our days in the city." Xuan Sheng continued to add.

  All I saw was this written on the paper:

  "Hello landlord, I am the parent of these two children. Due to many reasons, we are currently living elsewhere, so please allow them to stay here and focus on their studies. I am very grateful for this. I hope you can treat them as your own children, educate, motivate, help and care for them."

  Xuan Sheng saw that Luo Er's mother was already somewhat shaken, and then said, "Auntie, we'll each give you 600 yuan per month for living expenses. You just take care of our housing and meals, and don't worry about anything else! And we can pay the first month's rent in advance right now... no, three months! Just one quarter."

  "Oh, pay first?" Luo Er's mother was really moved by money.

  "Uh, if you agree, I'll give you the money now and we can move in tomorrow." As he spoke, Lu Xiangsheng began to pull out his wallet from his western-style pants pocket, preparing to count the money.

  "Alright, you can move in tomorrow then. Just don't look down on this humble house, the conditions at home aren't good, but our kids Luo and Chao are well-behaved and will definitely take care of you." Luo's mother agreed.

  Li Chao fell silent when he saw the stacks of 100-yuan bills in Xian Sheng's wallet. He too missed school, where he could see his future and also see Ruoyun.

  Only fallen leaves, thoughts of thousands...

  Lu Xiansheng handed over thirty-six big tickets to Luo Er's mother, "Auntie, what should we call you from now on?"

  "Call me Cloud Aunt, it's more intimate that way. Tomorrow, you and this young man can move in together! In the future, whatever dishes you like to eat, just tell her and she'll make them." She pulled over Luo'er and continued, "This is my daughter, if I'm busy and can't come back, she'll cook for you. Whatever you want to eat, just ask her and it's done."

  "Hehe, got it!" Xuan Sheng and Zhi Quan both nodded at Luo Er, smiling in understanding.

  But Luo Er didn't appreciate it and rushed into his own room, ignoring everyone.

  "What's going on? That little brat with the surname Lu is actually moving into my house!"
