warm hearts

Chapter 1

Back in time to a year and a half ago, it was the first typhoon in 2016.People who have lived in Furnace City since ancient times have been relying on typhoons to survive almost every summer. Therefore, most people are entangled in this season, because they hope that typhoons will pass through the border, and at the same time feel sorry for the coastal compatriots.But Ji Xiaomin has never been in this category - he is also afraid of heat, but he can bear it.This kind of forbearance is not the forbearance with a knife on the prefix, but because of good temper, good tutoring, and persistence, so you can bear your temper for everything; for example, if you wear a T-shirt in the dog days, you also need to wear a T-shirt underneath. The vest is used as a base layer. Of course it is hot, but it is better than unnecessary embarrassment caused by sweaty clothes.

However, Mr. Ji's insistence has a flavor of the last century, and in the eyes of the millennial generation, he is automatically classified as a veteran cadre.The school where Mr. Ji works is nicknamed by the industry as the Lanxiang technical school for design majors. The students in the school are more or less confident in their own tastes, so the topic of Mr. Ji's "self-willedness" and "violence" began when Ji Xiaomin stepped into this school. It has always been a hot topic in the campus BBS and various campus WeChat groups.In addition, what matches the term "veteran cadre" is probably the activities that Mr. Ji often goes to the Children's Palace to help friends with classes during holidays. In this era of summercamp and teamlab, the term Children's Palace has long been equivalent to For cultural relics.

The Municipal Children's Palace is located near the commercial street in the center, and the transportation is quite convenient in terms of location.But it’s different when the typhoon catches up with the holidays. In addition to the rush hour in the business district at [-] o’clock in the evening, not to mention the difficulty of taking a taxi, even the subway can’t be squeezed.

In fact, the typhoon this time was not violent. There was only a strong wind outside, but it did not bring even a drop of rain.There was a lot of wailing on the Internet, saying that the typhoon had finally come, but it was bounced off by the self-contained barrier in S City near the sea, it was almost crazy.Ji Xiaomin was always calm about this, but secretly complained in his heart: a typhoon day without rain is still a typhoon day, the car is just as difficult, the subway is as difficult as crowded, and home is as difficult as returning home.

Fortunately, he had foreseen this situation. Fortunately, his home was not too far away. As long as he walked out of this block and went a little further south, it was easy to take a taxi.That place is a stall street, and it's in full swing at this time, and it won't be affected at all if it doesn't rain, Ji Xiaomin just wants to take a walk there now, and he can take a bowl of jelly home by the way.

The jelly noodle stall is an old one, with a small frontage, sandwiched between barbecue stalls and wonton stalls on the left and right, and can barely fit a line.As a result, the line was very long, and those standing at the end of the line had to avoid the cars on the road, and the gap between people would inevitably get closer and closer.

Ji Xiaomin is a person who doesn't like to have physical contact with people, so it's inevitable that he will feel a little uncomfortable at this time, so he simply took half a step sideways, leaving only one arm stuck in the gap between people.Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes from this position, he could clearly see a man sitting on a barbecue stall in front of him, holding a mobile phone and taking pictures of the skirt of a little girl in the line.

He immediately frowned, and just as he was about to give a warning, the little girl found out, slapped the man's cell phone away with a "slap", and asked loudly, "What are you doing?" The table in front of him stood up abruptly, and threatened the little girl with a blushing face that was obviously over-alcoholic.

Although most of the local little girls are very hot-tempered, but this little girl is still young, and suddenly faced with such a rascal, she was still stunned, her face flushed.But although she hesitated a bit, she still mustered up the courage to say: "You are a hooligan, secretly photographed my skirt!"

The man yelled louder when he heard the words: "Who the hell secretly took pictures of you? There is nowhere, and you still think you have a face?"

This sentence made Ji Xiaomin's face darken, so he said: "Admit what you did, the little girl didn't wrong you, I saw it too."

"Where the hell did you come from? What's the matter with you? Are you looking for a beating?" The man was just trying to scare the little girl, but when he saw Ji Xiaomin's words, his attitude immediately escalated and he kicked the stool away Just squeeze over here.

Although Ji Xiaomin is not working hard, he is not a soft persimmon. Seeing that he seems to make a move, he has no intention of retreating. He just raised his hand and pointed at the intersection: "Why don't we call a policeman to come and take a look? The security box is over there side, not a few steps."

"You fucking think I'm afraid of you when you call the police, don't you?" The man probably was really drunk and felt that he couldn't get off the stage. When he walked over, he touched a beer bottle on the next table with one hand.

Ji Xiaomin glanced at him up and down, and was thinking about how to deal with it, but suddenly a hand came over and grabbed the man's arm holding the wine bottle: "Don't be afraid, let's go for a while, the parties are all present, this old man As an eyewitness, so am I, come on, let’s talk to Uncle Police.”

The visitor was wearing a sleeveless black T-shirt. He looked like a big boy. His side face could not be seen clearly from the back light, but the exposed arm muscles were beautiful and powerful.The hooligan man was squeezed by him, but he couldn't break free no matter what, and then he pulled hard, and he was staggered out of the crowd.

At this moment, Ji Xiaomin already understood that he had come to help, and looked back at the little girl, motioning for her to follow and find the police together.

The little girl was also really courageous, and followed without saying a word, and when she walked to Ji Xiaomin's side, she whispered: "Thank you."

"It's okay, it should be." Ji Xiaomin smiled at her, and led her to follow the big boy who was dragging the hooligan in front.

It took some time to settle the matter, Ji Xiaomin and the big boy took notes with the little girl, and it was almost twelve o'clock when they left the police station.The location of the police station is not so easy to take a taxi. Ji Xiaomin glanced at the phone and was thinking about how to go back. The boy had already said beside him: "It's not easy to take a taxi here. Where do you live? Let me take you back?"

The words were a bit abrupt, Ji Xiaomin subconsciously turned his head to look at him, and then he took a closer look at his face - the bridge of the nose is high, the eyes are narrow and long, like the kind of handsome Korean guy you would see on TV, but he doesn't look familiar .

"Are you Mr. Ji who teaches children's painting in the Children's Palace?" The big boy looked young, but he was very sharp. Seeing him turn his gaze to himself, he immediately added, "I teach street dance to children in the classroom next to yours. It's Gao Xu."

Ji Xiaomin still hesitated for a second, then remembered something, his eyes lit up: "Ah, you are here to substitute for Teacher Jiang."

"Yes." Gao Xu nodded, tilting his head at a handsome angle, "Then let's go? My car is on the street just now - take two steps?"

"Then I'll trouble you." Ji Xiaomin didn't refuse this time, but he didn't say much, both of them seemed to be a little cold, and they didn't say a few words along the way.It wasn't until he saw Gao Xu's car that stars came into Ji Xiaomin's eyes again, his lips curled like water chestnuts, and he praised: "Your car is handsome."

"Know the goods." Gao Xu also laughed immediately, raised his eyebrows a little proudly, stepped on the black full carbon fiber YAMAHA, and handed him a helmet.

Ji Xiaomin took it, looked back and forth on the car body, and left a sentence before putting on the helmet: "The exhaust pipe of this car has been modified—don't drive too fast."

[I have been playing with motorcycles since I started, and after more than ten years, I have seen countless people playing with motorcycles.Among those people are gangsters, sons and brothers, old uncles and brothers who are engaged in machine repair, and ordinary boys like me who just like motorcycles.But I've never seen a refined, old-fashioned scholar like Ji Xiaomin play with a car, and even if I just think about it, I think it's too unsuitable.This feeling is very strange, as if standing in front of you is a serious and old-fashioned head teacher, but he can tell at a glance that your car exhaust pipe has been modified, and he knows why you changed it; A little excitement, because once all the incongruity is put aside, this thing is interesting enough in itself.

——Gao Xu]

Even if the typhoon is bounced off by the regional barrier, it will retain some of the dignity of being named, so after Gao Xu sent Ji Xiaomin home, he was splashed with water head-on.

"What should I do? It's raining so hard, you'd better stop driving." Ji Xiaomin heard thunder when he walked into the unit door. It was drenched to the feet.

"It's okay, I'll wait. The rain can't keep falling. I'll leave when it stops." Gao Xu shook his hair and wiped his face. At this time, he didn't forget that his gestures should be handsome enough.

"Where can I go? You send me back, and I will let you go like this. There is no reason." Ji Xiaomin shook his head again and again, and took out the key from his pocket when he spoke, "If you want to leave, at least dry your hair and change it. Put on your clothes before leaving, but I don’t think the rain will stop for a while, so I’d better find something to cover the car for you first.”

Gao Xu originally wanted to decline, but thunder rumbled overhead and the rain escalated again visibly, so he had no choice but to compromise.

Ji Xiaomin's home is on the second floor, and he came down with a bag of things in a short time. Gao Xu took it over and saw that it was an unopened motorcycle rainproof cloth, and the size of the car was not small.

This thing is always in the house - isn't he really a car guy too?

Gao Xu thought about it for a while, looked up at Ji Xiaomin, but didn't rush to ask, but ran out and quickly covered the car, then changed the car's position, moved to the entrance of the corridor, avoiding the Large trees and wind direction that could knock the car over.

Ji Xiaomin wanted to go up to help, but seeing Gao Xu's swift movements and there was no place for him to intervene, so he lazily raised his eyebrows, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and let him go.

The philosopher said that fighting against the sky, wind and rain, and water and fire is a lot of fun; but for ordinary people, it is really no fun to be drenched from head to toe.

After Ji Xiaomin brought Gao Xu into the house, he sent him to take a bath first, while he rummaged through the closet for a long time before finding out a set of clothes that he might be able to put on, no matter what, it was better than wet clothes.

But it turns out that Ji Xiaomin still underestimated Gao Xu's figure - when this skinny boy came out of the bathroom wearing a bath towel, Ji Xiaomin subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and secretly sighed: "Hey!" He glanced at the clothes at hand with some embarrassment, and sucked his lips habitually before speaking: "Well, something is better than nothing, fortunately, it's hot..."

Gao Xu didn't quite understand at first, but when he saw his eyes on his chest, he understood again. He blinked and smiled shyly: "It's okay, I should still have a set of clothes in my bag." He said quickly After a few steps, he walked to the wall and took out a waterproof bag from his backpack, and went into the bathroom again. When he came out again, he was already a neatly dressed and fresh boy.

"Are you planning to travel or...?" Ji Xiaomin was curious, so he asked casually, suddenly felt that his tone was a bit too familiar, but after thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with it.

"I was going to the gym." Gao Xu said, he had already sat down opposite Ji Xiaomin, and took a bottle of mineral water from him.

"Oh~"

Everything has its own cause and condition, and everything is a cause and effect.
