The Protagonist Just Wants to Fall in Love [MTL]

Chapter 87 Friends

He Yu was waiting for Li Fengran in the living room with his schoolbag. Li Fengran changed his clothes, ran out of the room in a hurry, and went to the bathroom to wash up without even looking at the clock on the wall in the living room. After washing up, he took the money his mother gave him to buy breakfast, ran to He Yu, panting, and said, "Okay."

　　He was not afraid of being late, but was afraid that He Yu would get impatient waiting for him.

　　After the two of them left, the door slammed shut and the room returned to silence.

　　The woman sat on the chair with her legs crossed and trimmed her fingernails. After finishing, she blew her hair, stood up to hang the clothes, and put the dried clothes away.

　　On one of the clothes hangers on the long clothesline, there was a small furry brown bear pendant that could be held in one hand clipped on it with a clip. The woman took the pendant off.

　　"Hmm...didn't you bring this?"

　　Every time Li Fengran changes to a new environment, he needs some time to adapt. The little bear is like a comfort object to him. He feels at ease with it around. However, she thought that Li Fengran has made new friends here and probably won't need this kind of thing as much as before.

　　She took the bear into the house.

　　The sun rises in the morning, the cool breeze blows, and vehicles are passing by on the road.

　　There is a breakfast stall on the street in front of the school gate. The stall owner is selling pancakes with tempting aroma. Primary school students, carrying their schoolbags, come in groups from the school gate.

　　Liao Yuanyuan, He Yu and Li Fengran arrived at the school gate. Li Fengran had not had breakfast yet, so he ordered a pancake from one of the stalls. When he was rummaging through his schoolbag to get the money, he suddenly paused.

　　The zipper of the schoolbag was empty, and the small pendant that should have been on it was gone. Only stationery was filled in the schoolbag, and everything was visible at a glance. So, with just a few casual rummages, I found most of the things I had.

　　No, nowhere...

　　"Boss, I want two flatbreads stuffed with leeks!" Liao Yuanyuan shouted.

　　He Yu: "Didn't you have breakfast?"

　　Liao Yuanyuan touched her stomach and said, "I'm hungry from walking all the time. I need to eat something to replenish my energy."

　　He Yu: "..."

　　Li Fengran on the side was too quiet. He Yu turned his head and saw Li Fengran standing there in a daze, holding his schoolbag. There was a look of helplessness on his fair face, and his fingertips were turning white as he tightly gripped the edge of the schoolbag.

　　"What happened?" He Yu asked, "Did you lose the money?"

　　Li Fengran shook his head, pursed his lips, took out money from his schoolbag and handed it to the stall owner.

　　The stall owner packed two pancakes for them, put them in a small transparent bag and handed them to them. Two little hands took them and the three of them walked towards the school gate. He Yu and Liao Yuanyuan walked in front, and Li Fengran followed at the end, with his head down, holding his schoolbag and carrying the bag in one hand.

　　When he reached the school gate, he stopped.

　　Looking at the unfamiliar school gate, thinking about facing unfamiliar classmates, unfamiliar classrooms, unfamiliar teachers... everything was unfamiliar, and he felt a surge of resistance in his heart. His stomach, which had not eaten breakfast, was empty and he felt a little nauseous.
