Chapter 153: Chapter 152: Big Sister is So Beautiful!
Hearing old Mr. Su asking for her help, Lu Mian didn’t agree right away.
Kicking pebbles along the road, she asked patiently, “What is it?”
“Mianmian, you’re really good with computers, and it’s called programming, right? I, an old man, don’t understand those things. I would like to ask you to teach someone.”
“You want me to teach someone programming?”
“Yes,” old Mr. Su’s tone became even kinder, “Just teach her casually, and if she likes it and has a talent for it, we can make long-term plans. If it’s just a whim of hers, then it’s even simpler; you can…”
“Okay,” Lu Mian didn’t say much, and agreed to it.
She didn’t like listening to long-winded reasons. If she was asked for help, she would help if she wanted to, and refuse if she didn’t want to.
Old Mr. Su was good to her, and it was not a difficult task, so she agreed offhand.
“Alright then, Mianmian. I’ll send you her chat account later on, and you can add her as a friend.” After saying this, old Mr. Su even lowered his voice like he knew the ropes: “I know people in your profession like to maintain secrecy. Don’t worry; I won’t reveal any of your information, let alone allow you to meet!”
Lu Mian helplessly hung up the phone and pushed the matter aside. Passing by the community supermarket and recalling the empty fridge at home, she stepped inside.
It was the time when people got off work and school, so the supermarket was quite busy.
Lu Mian headed to the less crowded fast-food section, grabbed some instant noodles and frozen dumplings, and went straight to the checkout area.
Passing by the kitchen utensils shelf, she saw neatly arranged chopsticks.
She casually picked up two packs and threw them into her shopping basket.
At the checkout, there was a queue several meters long.
Lu Mian stood at the end of the line, keeping a distance from the family of three in front of her.
The family of three consisted of a young couple and their three-year-old daughter.
The little girl was at an adorable and lively age, waving a pinwheel around her parents, who watched her closely with eyes full of love, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere.
Lu Mian pursed her lips and took a step back, pulling out her phone to play a game.
“Mianmian, be careful not to fall!”
The young girl suddenly looked up.
But all she saw were the young parents gazing tenderly and smiling at their daughter while the tall father simply bent down to carry the child on his shoulders.
It was a homophonic name.
Lu Mian was momentarily distracted, gripping her phone tightly. Her thoughts drifted off, and she didn’t even notice someone had stood behind her.
The little girl’s vivacious laughter and figure were still fluttering before her eyes. Distracted by the wild gesticulations of the girl’s small hands, her focus blurred.
However, just as the pinwheel in the little girl’s hand was about to hit Lu Mian’s face, a deep and strong arm suddenly lifted, shielding her from it.
Lu Mian’s eyes finally focused, and she smelled a faint, familiar scent. Turning her gaze, she saw Xiao Qimo standing beside her, looking at her with an elegant, amused smile.
Just now, he had shielded her from harm.
It was like when she was a child in the crowded streets during the Lantern Festival; her father held her in his arms and spread his palm to shield her from the various collisions from the outside world.
She pursed her lips, saying nothing.
The little girl’s parents hastily turned around: “Mianmian, quickly say sorry to the uncle and the sister.”
“Sorry!” the little girl said in a cute voice, “Sister is really pretty! Uncle is very handsome too!”
The young parents also smiled apologetically, saying sorry several times.
Lu Mian shook her head, “It’s fine.”
Meanwhile, Xiao Qimo frowned elegantly, pushing his glasses up, “Little friend, call me ‘brother.’
