The first time in history

Chapter 117 Chopping Wood and Stewing Meat

Qian Mingduo, who wanted to say a few polite words, was infected by Su Yaqin's enthusiasm and said readily, "Okay, Auntie, I will come back early next week and have dinner at your house."

From the moment Qian Mingduo entered the room, Lin Leilei's eyes were like being attracted by a magnet, tightly locked on him, as if she wanted to see through his appearance to the secrets deep in his heart. She didn't blink her eyes, for fear of missing any details.

As time went by, Lin Leilei's eyes became more and more fiery, as if she wanted to see through Qian Mingduo. However, Qian Mingduo did not notice all this and kept talking to Su Yaqin.

Finally, when Qian Mingduo turned around and looked at Lin Leilei, she couldn't help but feel her face getting hot. Despite this, she tried to keep a calm expression, but her slightly red cheeks and slightly shy eyes betrayed her inner excitement at the moment.

"Is Leilei's foot much better now?" Qian Mingduo winked at Lin Leilei mischievously. "She can even walk on her own now."

"Yes!" Lin Leilei nodded gently. "You can go to school in a few days."

Qian Mingduo tilted his head to look at Lin Leilei's feet. He suddenly remembered that last time when he was having dinner at Lin Leilei's house, his big toe, which was exposed outside his socks, was stepped on hard by Lin Leilei. Thinking about it now, his heart was still soft and tender, because he felt that it was a physical contact with Lin Leilei.

So, while Su Yaqin went to the bedroom, he whispered to Lin Leilei: "You can step on me with this foot this time."

"Humph!" Lin Leilei raised her two feet. "This time I can step on you with both feet."

"What are you doing?" Su Yaqin just came out, "Stretching out your big feet?"

"Brother Xiaoming said he wanted to take a look at my ankle," Lin Leilei quickly put her foot down, "and wanted to compare the swelling."

"Much better," Su Yaqin said to Qian Mingduo, "It's basically gone now, thanks to you." Su Yaqin sat next to Lin Leilei and said to Qian Mingduo, "Your Uncle Lin has been talking about it these days, saying that you used ice compresses at the beginning, which really helped."

"Auntie, you are too polite again." Qian Mingduo scratched the back of his head. "I am embarrassed."

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say any more." Su Yaqin said as she poured Lin Leilei a cup of hot water and reminded her, "It's half an hour after dinner, take the medicine quickly."

"Yeah." Lin Leilei took out a medicine bottle from the drawer of the coffee table and poured a few Chinese medicine pills into the lid. Every time Lin Leilei had her period, her stomach would hurt a lot and it would last until the end of the period.

Lin Dong asked the Chinese medicine doctor in their hospital to prepare some medicine and made it into water pills. Therefore, every time her period came, Lin Leilei would start taking the medicine. Although the effect was not very obvious, at least it was not as painful as before.

"Auntie" Qian Mingduo wanted to stay with Lin Leilei for a while, but he was embarrassed. So he stood up and said to Su Yaqin: "You and Leilei should rest, I will go home first."

"Why are you going back?" Su Yaqin stopped Qian Mingduo and said, "Wait for auntie for a moment." She walked quickly into the bedroom and soon came out with twenty yuan. "You fixed Leilei's mountain bike. Auntie doesn't know how much you spent and I won't ask. Take this twenty yuan."

“No thanks.” Qian Mingduo quickly declined. “Auntie, it didn’t cost much. Students from our school often go to that repair shop to get their bicycles repaired. The repairman takes good care of us students. It doesn’t cost much.”

"You are a student, and you are alone at home." Su Yaqin stuffed the money into Qian Mingduo's trouser pocket. "How can I ask you to spend money?"

"That wouldn't require so many aunts."

"That's it. Don't argue with auntie anymore." Su Yaqin held Qian Mingduo's arm and said, "You have helped Leilei so much. Auntie doesn't know how to thank you. Just remember to go home early on weekends. Auntie will prepare dinner for you!"

"Ah!" Qian Mingduo was really moved by Su Yaqin's enthusiasm. He nodded vigorously and said, "I'll remember it, Auntie. I'll go home early next weekend."

Qian Mingduo was about to leave when Lin Leilei grabbed her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I haven't practiced the piano for several days, and our piano is not here. I want to go to Brother Xiaoming's house to practice. Is that okay?"

"Brother Xiaoming can only go home on weekends, you should let him have more rest..."

"It's okay, Auntie." Qian Mingduo was very excited when he heard Lin Leilei say this. He quickly said, "Leilei, if you want to practice the piano, just practice for a while. I don't mind." In order to make it a fait accompli, he pretended to be serious and said to Lin Leilei, "Just practice for a while, otherwise it will disturb the neighbors."

"Yeah, I know." Lin Leilei said to her mother coquettishly, "Mom, I'll just practice for a little while and I'll be back soon."

"Well... okay." Su Yaqin thought for a while and then went home. Grandma Li downstairs goes to bed early, so I can't disturb her."

"I understand." Lin Leilei ran to the bedroom happily.

"Slow down." Su Yaqin saw her daughter was as happy as a little bird, and was afraid that her feet would hurt again. "Why are you going back to your room?"

"I'll get the music." Lin Leilei had already run to the door and said with a smile on her face, "What can we do without the music?"

Lin Leilei stood behind Qian Mingduo's door, holding the piano exercise book tightly in her arms. She stole a glance at Qian Mingduo and found that he was looking at her. Lin Leilei quickly lowered her head and said softly, "Why are you looking at me?"

Lin Leilei's heart was beating like a deer in her arms. She was filled with nervousness and shyness, and her hands were shaking slightly as she held the piano exercise book tightly.

The moment she stole a glance and noticed that Qian Mingduo was also looking at her, her cheeks instantly turned red, as if the sunset was reflected on her face.

She felt extremely happy because the person she liked was also paying attention to her, but she was also a little overwhelmed, afraid that Qian Mingduo would see through her little thoughts. At this moment, her heart seemed to be a mess, intertwined with anticipation, nervousness and a hint of sweet panic.

Just now, Lin Leilei suddenly proposed to practice piano at his home, which surprised him and made him look forward to it. When he found that Lin Leilei was secretly glancing at him, he felt flustered at first, but then he was filled with a warm feeling.

He realized that Lin Leilei might have special feelings for him, which made him feel both proud and overwhelmed. He was wondering how to grasp this pure emotion.

"Let's practice for a while, okay?" Qian Mingduo pulled the piano stool out from under the piano, opened the piano cover, turned around and said to Lin Leilei, "Otherwise you'll be late when you get home, and Auntie will have to chop wood and stew meat for you."
