[R18] Tenant (Rough Man H) – “The Tenant (Rough Man H)” 135. Waiting for you at the small supermarket next to the intersection (more than 2,900 pearls) [English]

As always, Cheng Yaokun carried He Lu to the main hall door before putting her down.

He Lu secretly went to the warehouse to get clean sheets for him, and then returned to the room under his watch.

Her body was very tired, as if it had been hollowed out, but she did not fall asleep directly like the previous two times. Instead, she turned on the light, walked to the desk, and opened the drawer.

She took out a pack of colored paper, opened the bag, pulled out the colored paper and flipped through the colors.

What color should a boy want?

Blue, green…uh…green, yellow?No, no, he is already very yellow…just, just blue!

She took out a blue one, and then took out a pink and purple one and put it on the table. She stuffed the others back into the envelope and put them back in the drawer. She found scissors, double-sided tape and red string and started tinkering.

After a while, two palm-sized wishing bags, one blue and one purple, were ready.

She held one in each hand and looked around. She felt quite satisfied. Then she climbed into bed contentedly, set the alarm and closed her eyes.

I can’t sleep until my mother comes to call her, or I’ll be hammered to death!

With the help of the alarm clock, He Lu not only didn’t sleep until Mother He came to ask her to eat, but also helped out.

However, after preparing the meal today, He’s mother did not ask He Lu to call Cheng Yaokun…

He Lu subconsciously felt that it must be related to Cheng Yaokun’s admission of interest in her last night, and she couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.

While eating, He Lu deliberately sat facing the backyard, but she was almost finished eating and still didn’t see Cheng Yaokun coming out, so she felt a little disappointed.

Mother He calmly took in her little eyes that glanced towards the backyard from time to time, as well as the disappointment that couldn’t be hidden in her eyes. She lowered her head and took the last bite of rice, put down her chopsticks, and picked up the soup ladle to scoop out the soup.

Seeing that her mother had finished eating, He Lu pursed her lips and asked, “Mom, are you going to play mahjong today?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Uh… I made an appointment with my classmate…”

Mother He raised her eyes and looked at her, “Didn’t I just go shopping last night?”

“No, there’s an exam coming up. We want to burn incense…”

“That’s it…” Mother He murmured, put down the ladle, brought the bowl to her lips and took a sip, “Then you go.”

He Lu just wanted to respond, but suddenly felt something was wrong and said quickly: “If you want to play mahjong, we can go tomorrow, or next week.”

Mother He took a sip of soup and shook her head, “I won’t go today, but I will go tomorrow. You and your classmates can burn incense.”

“Okay.”

“I’m done eating. Please clean up after you finish. I’m a little uncomfortable. I’ll go back to my room and catch up.”

“…Okay.”

Mother He put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up and walked to the main hall. He Lu looked at her back, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she became more and more uneasy.

Why does my mother feel so weird?You don’t really feel anything, do you?!

After eating, He Lu packed her things. As soon as she returned to the room and changed her clothes, her cell phone rang. Cheng Yaokun was calling.

She quickly picked up, “Hello?”

“You didn’t come to ask me to eat today…”

“Uh… I, my mother didn’t let me call.”

“It’s probably because I admitted that I’m interested in you yesterday.”

“…I thought so too.”

After He Lu finished speaking, there was silence for two seconds before Cheng Yaokun spoke first.

“You said you were taking me somewhere today. When do you plan to go?”

“I’ve changed my clothes and will be out in a moment. I’ll call you at the small supermarket next to the intersection and wait for you there.”

Cheng Yaokun didn’t say anything immediately. He paused and asked, “Isn’t your mother going to play mahjong today, Saturday?”

“My mother said she won’t go today but will go tomorrow.”

Cheng Yaokun on the other end of the phone relaxed his frown and raised the corners of his lips, “You call me at the intersection.”

“Yeah.”
