Li Fengran pinched his fingers, his thin white knuckles turned red, "Not yet..."
"You haven't started school yet?" He Yu chatted seriously, "You look about the same age as me."
Li Fengran pursed his lips and said nothing.
"I'm in Changxu Primary School." He Yu raised his hand and made a "yeah" gesture, "I'm going to be in the second grade soon--"
[Which shift?] He asked the system.
System: [Class 2.]
"Grade 2, Class 2." He Yu said, "You can... forget it."
He wanted to say "You can play with me", but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he and other children could not play well together.
He's mother watched the two people chatting with a smile, without interrupting them, just listening from the side.
"Let's eat watermelon." The woman came out of the kitchen at this time, put the watermelon on the table, and slices of watermelon scattered around.
Watermelon is a must-have in summer to relieve the heat. The watermelon bought by He's mother was very beautiful, completely red inside with not many black seeds. He Yu talked to Li Fengran for a few words and felt a little thirsty, so he thanked her and took a piece of watermelon.
Li Fengran glanced at him, reached out to take a piece of watermelon, and the two sat down and ate the watermelon.
The cool and sweet juice of the watermelon spread in the mouth, dispelling some of the evening heat. He Yu and his mother did not stay long. They ate two slices of watermelon and prepared to leave.
Mother He: "We have something else to do, so we won't bother you any more."
"Well." The woman didn't keep them, "Have a nice time."
He Yu waved to Li Fengran: "Goodbye."
Li Fengran tilted his head, his fair little face looked fragile, and his pair of deep black eyes seemed to have some emotional fluctuations.
The woman sat aside, her head propped up, her black hair falling from the side of her face. She glanced at He Yu, then at Li Fengran, with no emotion in her eyes, "Say goodbye."
Li Fengran pursed his lips and said "goodbye" in a low and quick voice.
On the way back, He's mother asked He Yu if he liked the child. He Yu said it was okay. He's mother smiled. This was the first time in these few days that He Yu took the initiative to communicate with another child so frequently.
Li Fengran's fair and clean face, delicate facial features, and quiet and pitiful personality all made He's mother overflow with maternal love.
Before going to bed, the lights in the room were turned off. He Yu lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. He turned over and covered himself with the quilt, thinking back to the mother and son upstairs. The current Li Fengran was different from the Li Fengran in the plot.
He looks quiet and well-behaved, and he stutters a little.
Little stutter...
He Yu fell asleep.
At ten o'clock the next morning, the sultry weather continued. He Yu's summer homework would be almost finished in one more day. He lay on the table with his eyelids drooping, and suddenly he vaguely heard someone calling his name.
"He Yu——"
"He-Yu!"
He Yu opened his eyes, opened the window, and leaned on the windowsill to look down. Liao Yuanyuan was standing downstairs, waving her hands, "Come out and play!"
