Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 11 Couple Stroller
After that day, Lin Lu was surprised to find that Pei Yizhou no longer stayed in the room at night.

Fortunately, she could finally change into fresher pajamas, have the bedroom all to herself, play with her mobile phone in peace, gradually enrich her investigation into Duan Chengyu's identity, and learn how to find a job online.

On the ninth day after she came here, she asked Pei Yizhou to take her to a nearby supermarket on the grounds that her favorite vegetables were out of the refrigerator.

Her body temperature has been returning to normal recently. She put on the new clothes that Pei Yizhou had sent home, put her cell phone in her pocket, and waited at the door. She held the door handle and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Pei Yizhou couldn't say no, and finally took her out.

Over the years, the appearance of Jingning Road has undergone tremendous changes. Except for the road layout which is somewhat similar to my memory, there is no trace of the past.

Rows of tall buildings, a strangely shaped city library, a commercial plaza in the distance, and low-rise wealthy areas mixed in with this area...

Lin Lu’s eyes were overwhelmed, and after entering the supermarket, she saw an electric shopping cart for a family of three and her eyes widened.

Pei Yizhou calmed down and asked with a smile: "Do you want to try sitting on that too?"

Lin Lu shook her head embarrassedly and looked around beside him: "You have a lot of money now, right? I want to buy a lot of things, which shopping cart should I choose?"

There was a row of carts that looked similar, but different people were responsible for managing the distribution. She was afraid that she didn't understand the rules and would make a fool of herself.

The person in charge of the carts was very quick. When he saw that they were a male and female pair, he pushed one over and kindly reminded them: "If girls want to sit, use this special shopping cart. If you have children, you can choose the base driving cart next to it. If you have twins, please choose the double-decker one..."

Lin Lu didn't hear clearly. She just didn't want to stand there, so she took the shopping cart and wanted to turn around to ask Pei Yizhou, but the man behind her reached over her shoulder, grabbed the shopping cart handle, and pulled her to the right when turning.

She passively moved a few steps to the right, as if she was being tossed around in Pei Yizhou's arms.

Only their arms touched, and there was clothing between them, but she inexplicably felt as if acupoints had been pressed on her arms, and her stiffness was accompanied by a burning, numb and itchy feeling.

Fortunately, Pei Yizhou quickly moved aside, seemingly not minding the contact just now. He pointed to the front of the shopping cart and said, "You can sit in. I'll push you. You never walk the entire way when you go to the supermarket."

It was his brother's familiar tone. Lin Lu also thought of the past. Putting aside the slight weirdness just now, he happily got on the "special car".

"Let's go buy some groceries first, then some food, and two pairs of slippers for guests. It would be best if you could buy a potted plant to put on your desk..." She brought a sticky note and clicked on each item. Her voice blended strangely into the gossip in the supermarket.

Pei Yizhou pushed the cart and looked down at her curled eyelashes. He only needed to agree with every one of her plans at the right time.

When passing by the snack area, a couple passed by them. The girl, who was also sitting in the shopping cart, was holding a bucket of dog food and a super-large bag of potato chips. She turned around and fed her boyfriend a spoonful of yogurt oatmeal for a sample, smiling and saying it was delicious and she wanted to go back and buy two bags.

The boy touched her hair and said that they had to go and choose a pot as the beginning of their official cohabitation.

Pei Yizhou's eyes swept over them, and then looked at Lin Lu who was also studying a large bag of potato chips, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth. It didn't matter if they were siblings, as long as she was always by his side, as long as they could have a little sweet time like this occasionally.

After returning home from a big shopping spree at the supermarket, Lin Lu actively helped prepare lunch.

She skillfully gave the tomatoes a hot bath and peeled them, saying as she peeled: "Brother, do you remember that I bought a lot of tomatoes one year? I was sick and you had to go back to school. You called me every day and told me to eat more fruits and vegetables, but I was afraid of spending money, so I came up with a good idea to buy all tomatoes, which can be used as both vegetables and fruits. If I don't have time to cook, I'll just eat a tomato. If I don't know what to eat, I'll take out a tomato and I can always combine it with other things to make a delicious dish. Speaking of which, my best dish is tomato and potato chicken nuggets, and you always finish it."

When people who have traveled too far recall the past, they feel more relieved than regretful. Pei Yizhou said with a smile: "As a result, you are so skinny and pale, but you still told me that you are growing. I took you to a hot pot buffet outside, and you ate until they closed."

Lin Lu couldn't help laughing when she recalled it, her hands shaking with joy: "Before you went back to school, you left most of your money to me, but I said no, I saved a lot of money last month, and I also made some extra money by copying homework for others. You said you didn't want me to have a hard life, but I don't want you to have a hard life either, I just want you to become an adult quickly, and when I'm 18, I can make money on my own, and then we can live a good life on our own."

When it comes to the point of foreshadowing, she slows down the movement of peeling the tomato, looks up and seriously looks into Pei Yizhou's eyes: "Brother, I don't want to be a burden to you. When my parents got into trouble, we agreed that we would be each other's support and support each other to grow up, not a burden to each other."

Pei Yizhou had expected this conversation, and she had lived clearly and conscious of it from beginning to end.

"You want to go out to work?" He took the tomato from her hand and continued peeling it, lowering his head to hide the expression on his face. "Didn't you say before that you hoped not to work for the rest of your life, and would rather be abducted by aliens?"

"I said I would shake hands with a toad for a hundred bucks, but after thinking about it, I can't help it."

After complaining about herself, she leaned on the countertop and tilted her head to look at Pei Yizhou's face: "Brother? Brother, at my age, I am in high spirits and want to support myself and my brother at the same time. I want to share the burden with you. Although you look rich and don't need help, I really wish I had bought the tomatoes I peeled for you with my own money today. Brother?"

Pei Yizhou hadn't heard her act coquettishly for a long time, and the unhappiness in his heart was worn away by it, and a smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes: "She's like a spirit. What do you want to do that you really won't do if I refuse you?"

"Brother?" She blinked, her eyes shining.

"What do you want to do? Or you have another choice, how about going abroad to continue studying?" They went abroad together, in a place where no one knew them, and slowly returned to their previous life.

Lin Lu wanted to stay and look for Duan Chengyu, so she directly rejected the idea of going abroad and enthusiastically talked about the types of work: "What do you think I can do now?"

Pei Yizhou's best choice was abandoned. His smile slowly faded. He looked at her eyes full of expectation and pretended to be gentle and said, "You can try to be an administrative assistant first."

Lin Lu was not a person who cared about being noble and avoiding suspicion. He happily accepted this arrangement, peeled another tomato, held the tomato in both hands and said as if presenting a treasure: "Then I have to make an advanced version of the meal for the boss as a bribe in advance!"

　The tabloid author typed wildly on the keyboard with an evil smile, then turned off the computer, covered himself with the quilt, and said, "Good night!"
