Chapter 161 Careful Care
Chapter 161 Careful Care
Bingo came to class today wearing a brighter shirt. He seemed to be in a good mood.
He came and sat down on the seat, took out a small jar from his bag and handed it to Ran Mo.
Ranmo looked at it curiously, wondering what good things he had brought her. Bingo opened the lid of the can, revealing a full can of soy milk.
Ran Mo couldn't help but ask: "This isn't yours..." Bingo nodded and said: "Yes, I ground it myself, it's very fragrant, try it."
Ranmo couldn't refuse, so he took the spoon from Bingguo and took a sip. The taste was rich and fragrant, just as good as the hot soy milk sold by a certain bee.
There was some soy milk on Ranmo's lips. Bingo reached out to wipe it for her. Ranmo realized it and quickly licked it off with her tongue.
Bingo asked Ranmo to finish it all. Ranmo drank more than half and couldn't drink any more. She didn't dare to drink too much. After all, going to the toilet in the school was a hassle.
Seeing that she couldn't drink any more, Bingo took the can and gulped down the rest of the soy milk. Ranmo was a little confused, he was really not shy.
In class, the two sat upright, listening attentively to the teacher's lecture. The teacher was talking about a poem similar to "Guan Guan Ju Jiu Zai He Zhi Zhou" (The two doves sing on the island of the river), which describes the love scenes of young people in ancient times.
Some classmates were fascinated, while others were blushing and giggling. Ranmo and Bingguo both acted serious, only occasionally their eyes accidentally met and they quickly looked away, their hearts pounding.
After class, the students were running around and playing in the classroom. Ranmo and Bingguo were still sitting at their desks, flipping through their textbooks, occasionally rubbing their faces to rest.
Ranmo was about to get up and stretch her body when she felt her body sink. She saw Bingo leaning against her. Ranmo shuddered slightly and tried to shake him off.
Bingo refused to move. Although he was much lighter than Qingsheng, he was pressing so hard on Ranmo that Ranmo could hardly push him away.
Ranmo didn't know what to do, so she let him lean on her for a while. Seeing that class was about to start, Ranmo wanted to get up and move around, so Bingo reluctantly stood up from her. Then he asked, "Are you going to the toilet?"
Ranmo said unhappily, "No." Bingo nodded slightly and said, "If you go, I can keep watch for you."
Huh? Ran Mo looked at him suspiciously. What did he mean? Bingo explained, "I know some people don't like to have other people around when they go to the bathroom. I used to be like that. So don't worry, I'll help you watch. I've never seen you go to the bathroom in all the time I've been here."
Ran Mo didn't know what to feel. On the one hand, he was grateful to the child for being so thoughtful and considerate, but on the other hand, he felt uncomfortable that he had brought up this long-lost topic again.
She said lightly that she was a mysophobe and didn't like to use the toilet in the school. Bingo looked at her and said that he could take her to Los Angeles to play in the future. The toilets there were all flush and very clean.
Ran Mo was about to faint. Did I have to go to Los Angeles just to use the restroom? What kind of train of thought was this?
She stood up and went to the windowsill to look at the potted flowers. One was in full bloom, its flowers vibrant red. She couldn't help but stop to admire them.
This pot of flowers should be called Danlan or something. It was brought by Adong. He often boasted to others that you could keep this flower alive by picking just one. Rangran was half-believing, half-doubting.
Seeing Ran Mo standing in front of the flowers admiring them, A-Dong walked over and said with a faint smile, "Isn't it beautiful? Do you want to take one home to plant?"
Ranmo was eager to give it a try, so he asked, "Can I really pick one and take it home to raise?" Ah Dong stood there, calmly nodding his head. Ranmo confirmed with him again, and he still looked like he had no problem.
Ran Mo was about to reach out to pick one. Just then, Bingo's voice came from behind him: "Don't pick it!" Ran Mo was shocked and withdrew his hand.
Bingo walked over, gave Adong a cold look, and then said to Ranmo: "Even if this kind of flower is grafted, it still needs the right water and soil conditions, otherwise it will be difficult for it to survive. What's more..."
A-Dong interrupted him, "You're such a meddlesome person! He's just a newcomer. Go wherever you want."
Bingo turned around, not saying anything, but staring sternly at A-Dong. His eyes held a maturity and even a fierceness that belied his age. A-Dong glanced at him with a flickering look, then lowered his head and returned to his seat.
This little episode suddenly brought back a childhood memory for Ranmo. It was during a class flower exhibition, and a girl named Dongmei brought a pot of rare flowers, saying she could take one home and keep them alive. Ranmo was tempted, and with her permission, he carefully picked a single flower from the lush blossoms. But as soon as he finished, she immediately turned irritated and ran to the teacher to complain, accusing Ranmo of picking her flowers without permission.
This is a major taboo in a class flower show and a serious disciplinary issue. The teacher didn't listen to Ranmo's explanation, and no matter what reason he had, he couldn't just pick the flowers. Isn't this common sense?
Ranmo hated himself for being so stupid, and even more so for Dongmei's betrayal, for actually falling into her trap. And at this moment, she was still putting on a pitiful and aggrieved look.
The teacher severely reprimanded her for the flower-pinching incident and fined her fifty cents to compensate the "victim." This wasn't to teach Ranmo a lesson. Ranmo was practically in tears. Women's words really can't be trusted.
Fortunately, Bingo intervened in time to prevent a recurrence of the same mistake. Otherwise, losing money would be a minor matter, but it would be too embarrassing.
Returning to her seat, Ranmo was still lost in her thoughts. Bingo thought she was unhappy, so he said he hadn't meant to stop her, but that she had to be careful and not fall into other people's traps.
Ran Mo smiled at him, thinking to himself, "I can't thank you enough." It was difficult to say too much, so she generously extended her index finger and lightly brushed his face as a reminder of her gratitude.
Bingo was flattered, stroking his cheek and looking straight at Ranmo. Ranmo thought, "Oh no! This has gone too far!" This boy is really a bit sensitive; even the smallest action will make him ponder for a long time. It seems that from now on, I must maintain a proper distance and maintain a sense of propriety.
Soon it was time to leave school. Ranmo and Bingo quickly packed their bags and headed out. They no longer had to worry about whether or not it was convenient for them to walk together. Ranmo had already told Qingsheng about his change of attitude. Bingo was pleasantly surprised to hear this; now they could go home together in good faith.
But he was still a little puzzled and asked Ranmo, "Is Qingsheng really her brother? Why is he so strict?"
Ran Mo choked and tried to cover up by saying that he wasn't really his biological brother. Bingo nodded, not quite understanding, and said, "Oh, I see. He's the kind of brother who isn't really a biological brother, but is actually closer than a biological brother." A sly smile flashed across his face as he spoke.
Ran Mo glared at him, "What are you thinking?" Bingo said faintly, "It's okay. I'm a very open-minded person and I won't hinder you."
Ran Mo couldn't stand it any longer and really wanted to kick him. Suddenly, he thought of his miserable family situation, and his heart softened. Well, this kid is just talking nonsense, so let him say whatever he wants.
After the two of them left the school gate, Ranmo looked around but didn't see Qingsheng. Perhaps he had a heavy martial arts class today, so he and Bingo headed down the main road.
This kid was quite naughty along the way. He would either bump Ranmo with his shoulder or kick him in the calf with his foot from behind. He even asked Ranmo to kick him back.
Ran Mo was not as childish as him. When he kicked her, she just pulled his ear. But the boy took advantage of the situation and pounced on Ran Mo.
Ran Mo didn't take it seriously at first, but later he vaguely felt that there was something strange about the boy, so he didn't dare to play with him anymore and just quickened his pace to go home.
When they reached a fork in the road, about to go their separate ways, they stared at each other, as if they both had something to say.
Ranmo had originally wanted to invite the child to his home for a meal occasionally, both to give him a good meal to replenish his nutrition and to allow him to feel the warmth of family. Qingsheng, who had come here far away from his parents, needed this kind of emotional comfort, not to mention this lonely child.
But I'm not ready yet, and I haven't mentioned it to my mother yet. I'll wait a while. Bingo looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to have made up his mind. He leaned over to Ranmo's ear and whispered to her, "I want to compete fairly."
After saying that, he looked at Ran Mo deeply, then turned and ran away.
Ran Mo was stunned, not understanding what he meant. Suddenly, he thought of the conversation they had just had about Qing Sheng when they left the school gate. His heart tightened, and his expression became a little serious.
