Chapter 159 Love Hug
Ran Mo frowned slightly and walked towards Qing Sheng with his head lowered. When he reached the place where he could see Qing Sheng's toes, he stopped, raised his head, gave him a bright smile, and then tilted his head, meaning: Let's go?
Qingsheng looked at her without saying a word, then took her hand and walked over there.
At this moment, Bingo called Ranmo's name from behind and ran up quickly. Ranmo looked back and saw Bingo running towards him with the small wooden box in his arms, and then handed it to Ranmo, "Ranmo, don't forget to take this back."
Qingsheng looked at the wooden box and cast a questioning look at Ranmo. Ranmo told him, "These are some snacks that Bingo made himself. I brought them for everyone to eat."
Qingsheng smiled slightly, took the box from Ranmo's hand, and said, "That's great, I'll help you get it." Then, he opened it and took a look, paused for a moment, nodded slightly, picked up a piece with his hand, put it in his mouth and started eating.
"Hmm, it tastes really good. Come, Ranmo, you try it too." He walked the box around in front of Ranmo, then returned to himself, took out another piece and started eating. He ate three or four pieces in a row, and it was almost gone.
Bingo was a little anxious. He walked closer and said, "You have to leave some for Ranmo." Then he reached out to grab the box.
Qingsheng was startled and tried to turn the box over again. However, as the two of them scrambled for it, the box fell to the ground with a "bang", and the three remaining snacks rolled into the yellow earth, making them inedible.
Bingo got anxious when he saw this and rushed over to push Qingsheng. Qingsheng just shoved Bingo down and he sat on the ground.
Ranmo was startled when he saw this and quickly squatted down to help Bingguo. He then said to Qingsheng, "What are you doing? Can't you just talk properly?" Then he helped Bingguo up. Bingguo clenched his fists and glared at Qingsheng, his eyes blazing with anger.
Qingsheng's face turned solemn. He stared at Ranmo without saying a word, then took two steps back, turned around, and strode off into the distance. Ranmo called out to him from behind, but he didn't even turn back.
Ran Mo sighed, picked up the wooden box from the ground, picked up a piece of dessert, looked at it, and threw it away.
She returned the wooden box to Bingo and apologized to him on Qingsheng's behalf. Bingo shook his head and said it was okay, then looked at Ranmo with a slightly pitiful look, as if he wanted to say something.
Ranmo asked him if he had anything to say. He stammered and said that he wanted Ranmo to accompany him home and sit for a while.
This? If it had been right after school, Ran Mo would not have agreed. But after going through all that, Ran Mo felt a little guilty and afraid of hurting his feelings, so after thinking it over, he agreed.
Bingo jumped up happily, then took Ranmo's hand and walked towards the east. Ranmo wanted to shake off his hand, but Bingo held on tightly, so he had no choice but to let him go.
Soon, they came into view a field with a solitary apple tree at its edge. Not far away were a few thatched cottages, with the sounds of chickens and dogs. Bingo pointed to one and said, "That's my home."
The two of them quickened their pace and headed towards the area. When they got there, they saw a relatively narrow thatched cottage. Bingo took out his key, opened the gate, and welcomed Ranmo inside.
The courtyard and the house were quiet. Ran Mo felt something was wrong and asked casually, "Is your family not at home?"
Bingo glanced at her without saying a word. He gently kicked the door open and walked to the middle of the room. He placed his schoolbag, wooden box, and other belongings on a wooden table. He then helped Ranmo take down her schoolbag and put it away, then pulled her to sit on a chair.
Ran Mo looked around the room. It was fairly clean, but a bit shabby. Apart from tables, chairs and some sundries, there was nothing else.
"I'm the only one at home." Bingo finally answered Ranmo's previous question.
Alone? Ran Mo looked puzzled. Bingo nodded and said, "I lost my parents when I was young. I have been living alone for a long time thanks to the help of relatives and neighbors."
Hearing this, Ran Mo's tears instantly welled up in her eyes. What she hated most was this kind of family situation where a father and a mother were missing. She knew how pitiful it was for a child to be without the full company of his or her parents, let alone an orphan.
Bingo noticed the change in her expression and said hurriedly, "Ranmo, don't be like this. I don't care anymore. How come you are more fragile than me?"
Ranmo calmed herself down. She was right. She would only bring up other people's sad memories. She looked at Bingo and said, "I admire you so much. You can live independently now. You're such a strong and self-reliant young man."
Bingo smiled and said, "This is the first time you've praised me. I'm so happy." A playful look flashed through his eyes. Ranmo thought, this kid is really optimistic.
Bingo also said that when his family first moved here, they didn't feel very comfortable, but since he met Ranmo, he suddenly felt that this place became friendly and lovely. He planned to take root here, and as long as Ranmo didn't leave, he would not leave.
Ran Mo didn't know what to say. If she could really bring such a feeling or even good luck to this child, then she would be willing to do so and even give it all.
The two chatted for a long time inside the house. Ranmo tried to avoid asking questions that might upset Bingo, while Bingo openly told her about his life, including how he learned to cook, how to save money, and how he sang loudly at night to dispel loneliness and fear. Ranmo sighed inwardly at one moment, then burst into laughter with Bingo.
Time passed by unnoticed. Ranmo looked at the sky and decided it was time to go back, so he said goodbye to Bingo. Bingo's face was a little gloomy, but then it brightened up again. He took Ranmo's hand and said, "Wait a minute, come with me."
Ranmo followed him to the small room next door. Judging by the bed inside, it must be a bedroom. Ranmo hesitated for a moment, not wanting to go in. But Bingo confidently pulled her to sit down beside the bed. Then he stared at her with wide, shining eyes.
Ranmo's heart was beating wildly, not knowing what he was going to do. Bingo chuckled, scratched her nose with his hand and said, "Look how scared you are. I won't eat you."
Ranmo smiled faintly and said that he was afraid his mother would say something if he returned too late. Bingo then said solemnly, "I want to ask you for a favor." Seeing that Ranmo was listening attentively, he continued, "Ranmo, can you hug me for a while? That way I won't feel lonely when I go to bed at night.
When my aunt was taking care of me when I was little, she would always give me a hug before bed, and I would sleep soundly. But when I grew up, I no longer had such hugs. I hope you can let me experience that warm feeling again."
Ranmo fought back her tears. Without another word, she leaned forward and gently embraced Bingo. Bingo shuddered slightly, then regained his composure and quietly embraced Ranmo.
Neither of them hugged each other too hard, but they both felt very warm and comfortable. Bingo seemed to have received sufficient emotional comfort and would be able to sleep well and have a good dream tonight.
