"Xiao Lin, I'm Uncle Wang, our contract expires in two days, do you want to continue renting the house?"
"If you continue to rent, the price may increase."
"You also know that this is already the price of two years ago. Everything is expensive now. Uncle just told you in advance that if you don't want to continue renting, you can move out. You don't have to force it."
"Think about it first, and tell me when you think about it."
The call ended when the landlord hung up, and Lin Xi put down the phone and lay on the bed in a daze.
He recalled the original owner's financial situation, checked the balance of each account with his mobile phone, and found tragically that he now only had less than 1 yuan in savings.
In his previous life, little general Lin hadn't worried about money other than worrying about military pay.
There is a mother who takes care of everything in order at home, and a servant who takes care of the money when he is away, so he doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters at all.
But now it is no longer possible, he is no longer the young master of the mighty general's mansion of the Wei Dynasty, but a starlet with a bad reputation in the modern world, and he also has a two or three-year-old baby with him.
Lin Xi did the math, the monthly rent here is three thousand, three months at a time, the money left by the original owner is only enough to pay the rent once, and now the landlord wants to raise the price...
Money certainly can't all be spent on rent.
Xiao Wei has asthma, he needs to save money to buy him medicine, and he cannot be left hungry, and the nanny is home for the New Year, if he wants to go out to earn money, it is impossible to bring the child with him.
Take Xiaowei back to the company dormitory?
Lin Xi shook his head, this is definitely not possible, the company has regulations that no outsiders can be brought in, not to mention that no one can take care of him in the dormitory.
He thought for a while, took out his phone and started flipping through his address book.
When he turned to Yang Fuguan's phone number, he paused, and then continued to scroll down until he reached the bottom, where he saw a number marked "zzz's father".
The moment I saw the number, my heart began to ache again.
For a moment, Lin Xi didn't even want to face this number, and her whole body and mind resisted it.
He couldn't help gripping the phone tightly.
The original owner was an orphan, and his memory started from the orphanage, when his name was "Xiaoxi".
When he was five years old, he was taken home by the Lin family from the orphanage. When he was 12 years old, Lin's father and Lin's mother divorced, and he followed his adoptive father.
Later, I don't know what happened. After graduating from high school, he never contacted Lin's father again, and the contact information was also manually sank by him.
Lin Xi tilted her head and thought for a while, took her mobile phone into the bathroom, locked the door behind her, and then stood in front of the mirror.
Looking deeply at the original owner's face in the mirror, it was still so thin and pale.
He looked at the boy, and suddenly said, "Xiaoxi, is that you?"
There was no change in him in the mirror, but Lin Xi was keenly aware of the sudden panic in his heart.
He knew very well that this was not his emotion.
"You haven't left yet, have you?" He continued to look at the boy in the mirror.
Silent, quiet, only the sound of water seeping from the faucet and dripping on the tiles in the bathroom.
Lin Xi was very patient. He lowered his head again and looked at the number on the phone screen.
"I'm going to call him, do you have any objection?"
After he finished speaking, he felt an inexplicable guilt welling up from the depths of his heart, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.
This time, Lin Xi was extremely sure that the original owner's soul hadn't left, and he was still living in this body.
The inexplicable emotions that I felt after waking up belonged to the original owner, including the flustered and sad mood when Grandpa Chu's granddaughter told him to fake a fake song.
"How about we talk?"
Lin Xi looked at the boy in the mirror and asked seriously.
He has experienced too many life and death, and his mind is inevitably more mature. Even if he knew that the original owner was still alive, he didn't have much panic, and just wanted to communicate with him.
"I can see your memory, so you should be able to see mine too?" Lin Xi said softly, "So I think, you probably know what I am like."
"I have no intention of occupying your body. The reason why it became like this is all accidental."
"I can live for a few more days and experience this prosperous world. I am very satisfied. So, if you want to get back this body, please tell me the method."
"I will not base my new life on taking the lives of innocent people."
Lin Xi expressed her thoughts seriously.
The young man reflected in the mirror has firm eyes and awe-inspiring righteousness. The majesty and demeanor that belongs to General Lin has a kind of reassuring and convincing power.
However, after waiting for a long time, Lin Xi did not wait for the expected response.
Lin Xi frowned, since the original owner did not show up, he could only continue to finish the matter.
He looked at the phone, gritted his teeth and made the call.
"Toot-toot-toot--"
The sound of the phone connection rang over and over again, hitting Lin Xize's eardrums, as if directly hitting his heart.
To face the family of the original owner, why is he not guilty?After all, he was just a thief who occupied the original owner's body.
Just when he was about to retreat, the phone was picked up.
No one spoke at either end of the phone. After a long silence, Lin Xi heard a slightly old voice ringing in his ears.
"Is it... Xiaoxi?"
Lin Xi only felt a shock in his heart, and an unspeakable emotion enveloped him, as if something was stuck in his throat.
"dad……"
In the end, he still yelled out the words that he couldn't say in time for the original Xiaoxi.
At that moment, he felt a little acid in his nose and a slight lump in his throat.
These were not his emotions, but Lin Xi still relaxed his mind and let these emotions collide in his body.
Regret, shame, joy... all kinds of emotions were intertwined, and finally calmed down slowly.
Lin Xi raised his eyes and looked at the red-eyed boy in the mirror. He was slightly relieved, and finally found his own voice again.
"Dad, it's me."
He spoke carefully, and briefly explained the situation.
Communicating with Lin's father was not as difficult as Lin Xize imagined.
The kind of tacit understanding and fetters between relatives are constantly cut no matter what.
You think it is difficult to cross the hurdle, difficult to open the door, in fact, sometimes it only takes a phone call, and you don’t even need to bow your head to admit your mistake, they have already accepted you again in the first place.
In Xiaoxi's memory, Father Lin was a very strict old man, and he was a little afraid of him.
But in Lin Xi's opinion, Father Lin is very similar to his grandfather in his previous life. Although he often faces them with a straight face, he is actually very soft-hearted.
After knowing his situation and Lin Yiwei's existence, Father Lin didn't say much, but asked them to move back to live with him.
Lin Xi naturally would not refuse.
He made this call because he wanted to entrust Xiaowei to him. Even if the rent didn't increase, he might still entrust the child to him.
On the one hand, Xiao Wei can get better care, on the other hand, Father Lin will not be too lonely, and he can also earn money to support his family with peace of mind. This is a happy thing for everyone-
Lin's father, Lin Yusheng, taught at Capital University. He just retired this year and lived in the compound allocated by the school. This is also where the original owner grew up.
When Lin Xi brought Lin Yiwei to the gate of the compound in the moving company's car, Father Lin was standing at the gate and looking around.
"Old Lin, are you waiting for someone here?"
"Well, Xiaoxi is coming back."
He talked to passers-by, smiling cheerfully, gentle and refined.
Lin Xi looked at him from afar, with complex emotions surging in her heart, and her nose was slightly sore.
"Driver, please stop by the gate."
He ordered the driver, and they slowly stopped in front of Father Lin, and the passenger's door opened.
Lin Xi got out of the car with the child in her arms.
Xiao Wei put her arms around his neck, secretly looking at Father Lin, curious and shy.
Lin Yusheng wore a pair of glasses, and he had the temperament of a scholar.
Seeing them, his lips trembled slightly, but he quickly controlled his excitement, and looked at them calmly and joyfully.
"Dad." Lin Xi called out.
Although Lin Yusheng is not his father, he has taken over Xiaoxi's body and identity, so he naturally has to shoulder this responsibility, even though... it will be returned to him soon.
Father Lin nodded, his eyes lingering on him greedily.
When he saw his light blond hair, he paused obviously, but just nodded slightly: "Well, it's good to be back."
Then his eyes fell on Xiao Wei, and a smile appeared on his mouth, "This is Xiao Wei, right?"
Xiao Wei looked at him, then looked up at Lin Xize.
"Grandpa." Lin Xi said warmly.
Only then did Lin Yiwei look at Father Lin, and shouted childishly, "Grandpa, I'm Lin Yiwei, you can call me Xiaowei."
"Okay, really cute."
Father Lin rubbed his head, then looked at Lin Xize, hesitantly said: "Your sister...what's the matter?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "I don't know either."
Before Xiaoxi was adopted, the Lin family already had a daughter named Lin Yarong, who was three years older than Xiaoxi.
She is Xiaowei's mother, and also the woman who gave Xiaoxi the earrings.
As for where she is now, what happened between her and Xiaoxi, why would Xiaoxi, as an uncle, take on the role of Xiaowei's father?Lindsay didn't know.
A complicated look flashed across Father Lin's face. He couldn't tell whether it was sadness or worry. He just nodded and said, "Go in quickly, it seems to be snowing again."
"Ok."
Lin Xi asked Father Lin to get into the car together, and then asked the driver to drive the car into the compound.
There were people from the moving company to help, and the original owner had very few things, basically Xiaowei's, so the move went smoothly, and they all piled up in the living room in the end.
"Xiao Wei lives just across from your room."
Father Lin opened a door and said to them, "He is still young, so he can sleep with you first, or I can take care of him. It won't be too late to become independent after he goes to kindergarten."
"I also bought some toys, all from nearby supermarkets, I don't know if Xiao Wei likes them or not?"
He was rambling on, talking a little more than the original owner remembered.
Xiao Wei was a little shy, standing beside Lin Xize, scratching his trouser legs with her small hands, looking around curiously with her big eyes.
Hearing Father Lin's words at this moment, he said anxiously, "I'm not young anymore, I can sleep by myself."
Father Lin was startled, then nodded with a smile.
"Okay, Xiao Wei is a man, you can sleep by yourself."
Xiao Wei smiled shyly, "Thank you grandpa for the toy, I like it very much!"
"Well, as long as you like it, Xiao Wei is really good."
"whee--"
Xiao Wei looked up at Lin Xize.
Sensing his gaze, Lin Xi patted the top of his hair, and the little baby smiled even sweeter.
Lin Xi turned her head to the side, and according to her memory, opened the room where Xiao Xi lived before.
The layout of the room is still the same as in memory, there is no dust on the furniture, and it should be cleaned frequently.
My heart suddenly felt a little sour.
"You and Xiaowei can live here in peace."
Father Lin said, "I know your company has arranged dormitories, but...it's better for the whole family to live together."
Lin Xi blinked vigorously, and then smiled at him: "Well, okay."
The old man showed a gratified expression, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Then you clean up, I'll go buy some food and come back, we'll have a drink tonight."
Lin Xi watched him go out, and could vaguely hear him talking to his neighbors through the door.He could hear the joy in the voice even at such a distance.
He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling sore in his heart, and suddenly thought of his family members far away in another time and space.
At this moment, he couldn't tell whether the surging emotions in his heart belonged to Xiao Xi or his own.
Lin Xi asked Xiao Wei to stay in the living room, found him a notebook for him to draw and write, and he started to pack his things.
Fortunately, there were few things, and after only one day of work, I put everything in order.
In the evening, Lin's father prepared a table of good dishes, and the three of them got together for dinner.
"Come on, Xiaowei, eat more. Grandpa doesn't know what you like to eat, so he bought some. You just choose what you like."
"Yeah, Xiao Wei is not picky."
"That Xiao Wei is really good! A good boy is not picky eaters."
"Hee hee—you eat it too, grandpa, and so does daddy."
Lin Xi looked at them with a smile unconsciously on his face.
The child eats little, and when Xiao Wei is full, Lin Xi takes him back to the room, puts him to sleep, and then returns to the dining table.
After Lin's father drank, he talked more, and Lin Xi was not a dull person, so he obediently poured wine for him and chatted with him.
Although there were few people, the atmosphere was not deserted.
"Xiaoxi, tonight is the happiest time for Dad in all these years."
Father Lin said with a little drunkenness.
Then he looked at Lin Xize, with shame and distress gradually appearing in his eyes.
"You ran away from home four years ago because of Xiaowei, right? Why didn't you tell Dad earlier?"
"Hey, it's Xiaoya...too nonsense! Since her mother passed away, she doesn't listen to me anymore, and she doesn't answer my calls..."
Speaking of his ex-wife and daughter, his expression became a little sad.
Lin Xi just wanted to comfort him a few words, but a few words suddenly appeared in his mind, he hesitated for a moment, but said them out.
"It's none of Xiaoya's business, it's about me failing your expectations and dropping out of school..."
"sorry."
The original owner did not go to university, which is one of the points where he was attacked by black fans.
In fact, his grades in the college entrance examination were very good, but he did not continue to study for some unknown reason.
Judging from the timing, it might really have something to do with Xiao Wei's birth.
Lin's father stopped holding the wine, and he looked at Lin Xize, with some regret in his eyes, but more of affirmation and encouragement.
"Everyone has their own time zone, fast or slow, just go at your own pace."
He said softly, "Reading is for reason, and exercise in society can also make sense."
"Don't worry about those gossips on the Internet, you were taught by your father, and your father knows what kind of person you are."
Lin Xi, on the other hand, listened to his words with earnestness and heart, and did not know which words touched her, and her eyes gradually became blurred.
Or maybe, this feeling of soreness belongs more to the former Xiaoxi.His father's affirmation has a different meaning to him.
"Dad, thank you."
Lin Xi looked deeply at Father Lin, and solemnly toasted him with a glass of wine.
After taking a sip, the spicy wine flowed down his throat, and the heat reached his stomach. He just wanted to praise the good wine, but his eyes went dark, and then he lost consciousness.
Looking at Lin Xize, who was lying on the dining table sound asleep, Father Lin shook his head, while sipping his drink, he muttered, "You still can't drink enough..."-
A few days later, Scarlet Club.
In the blurred light and shadow, a group of sons walked in, the leader waved away the waiter, went straight into the box, and fell down on the sofa with a gloomy expression.
"Young Master Zhou, don't be angry, come, come, drink and drink!"
"That's right, that bastard dares to regret the marriage in public, and he will have good fruit for the Qi family in the future!"
"Hmph, Qi Chaoli is a bitch, if Yueyue didn't stop me, I'll see if I will chop him up!"
"That is to say, with Yueyue's conditions, is there still no one to like it?"
The Zhou family's original engagement banquet tonight broke up because the male lead regretted his displeasure, and a group of their friends turned to Scarlet to accompany Zhou Xun to relieve boredom.
Zhou Xun loosened his tie and let out a slow breath.
He didn't want to mention this shit again, so he turned his eyes to the crowd, and finally looked at the young man sitting quietly outside the crowd.
The man dangled the wine glass in his hand, his tanned skin looked more sexy and mature under the blurred light, but his brows and eyes remained indifferent and alienated, a bit out of tune with the surroundings.
Zhou Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that this man would be in a bad mood when winter came every year. After thinking about it, he asked him, "Ayue, are you having trouble with Xiaoyu again?"
"If you continue to rent, the price may increase."
"You also know that this is already the price of two years ago. Everything is expensive now. Uncle just told you in advance that if you don't want to continue renting, you can move out. You don't have to force it."
"Think about it first, and tell me when you think about it."
The call ended when the landlord hung up, and Lin Xi put down the phone and lay on the bed in a daze.
He recalled the original owner's financial situation, checked the balance of each account with his mobile phone, and found tragically that he now only had less than 1 yuan in savings.
In his previous life, little general Lin hadn't worried about money other than worrying about military pay.
There is a mother who takes care of everything in order at home, and a servant who takes care of the money when he is away, so he doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters at all.
But now it is no longer possible, he is no longer the young master of the mighty general's mansion of the Wei Dynasty, but a starlet with a bad reputation in the modern world, and he also has a two or three-year-old baby with him.
Lin Xi did the math, the monthly rent here is three thousand, three months at a time, the money left by the original owner is only enough to pay the rent once, and now the landlord wants to raise the price...
Money certainly can't all be spent on rent.
Xiao Wei has asthma, he needs to save money to buy him medicine, and he cannot be left hungry, and the nanny is home for the New Year, if he wants to go out to earn money, it is impossible to bring the child with him.
Take Xiaowei back to the company dormitory?
Lin Xi shook his head, this is definitely not possible, the company has regulations that no outsiders can be brought in, not to mention that no one can take care of him in the dormitory.
He thought for a while, took out his phone and started flipping through his address book.
When he turned to Yang Fuguan's phone number, he paused, and then continued to scroll down until he reached the bottom, where he saw a number marked "zzz's father".
The moment I saw the number, my heart began to ache again.
For a moment, Lin Xi didn't even want to face this number, and her whole body and mind resisted it.

After taking a sip, the spicy wine flowed down his throat, and the heat reached his stomach. He just wanted to praise the good wine, but his eyes went dark, and then he lost consciousness.
Looking at Lin Xize, who was lying on the dining table sound asleep, Father Lin shook his head, while sipping his drink, he muttered, "You still can't drink enough..."-
A few days later, Scarlet Club.
In the blurred light and shadow, a group of sons walked in, the leader waved away the waiter, went straight into the box, and fell down on the sofa with a gloomy expression.
"Young Master Zhou, don't be angry, come, come, drink and drink!"
"That's right, that bastard dares to regret the marriage in public, and he will have good fruit for the Qi family in the future!"
"Hmph, Qi Chaoli is a bitch, if Yueyue didn't stop me, I'll see if I will chop him up!"
"That is to say, with Yueyue's conditions, is there still no one to like it?"
The Zhou family's original engagement banquet tonight broke up because the male lead regretted his displeasure, and a group of their friends turned to Scarlet to accompany Zhou Xun to relieve boredom.
Zhou Xun loosened his tie and let out a slow breath.
He didn't want to mention this shit again, so he turned his eyes to the crowd, and finally looked at the young man sitting quietly outside the crowd.
The man dangled the wine glass in his hand, his tanned skin looked more sexy and mature under the blurred light, but his brows and eyes remained indifferent and alienated, a bit out of tune with the surroundings.
Zhou Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that this man would be in a bad mood when winter came every year. After thinking about it, he asked him, "Ayue, are you having trouble with Xiaoyu again?"
