Listening to the sea

07

At six or seven o'clock in the evening, the food stalls were full of people, Shen Bei managed to find an empty table, and beckoned Mo Zixi to sit there.It was the first time for Mo Zixi to eat at this kind of open-air food stall. He looked at the oily stools and Shen Bei's concentration on ordering, so he sat down without hesitation, and called the driver by the way. He gestured to him to find food elsewhere.

Shen Bei took the menu and ordered a few items, then handed the menu to Mo Zixi: "Let's see what you like to eat?"

Now he wants to invite him to dinner not only because of his mobile phone, but more because of his care for Shen's mother in the past ten years.

Mo Zixi took a look at the menu, not only seafood, but also other foods on the menu, but the few items Shen Bei ordered were all seafood.Mo Zixi knew that Shen Bei loved seafood very much, so he picked up a pencil and ticked off all the seafood.

Seeing his posture, Shen Bei really wanted to say that there was so much to eat, but he thought it was his own treat, so it was not good to say that, so he could only silently calculate whether he had enough money in his heart.

Before the things were on the table, Shen Bei took out an envelope from his schoolbag and handed it to Mo Zixi: "There is 4000 yuan in it, I know that the mobile phone you bought for me is more than that, but I only have so much now , and the rest will be given to you when I find a part-time job."

Mo Zixi was a little angry: "Is that why you don't want to see me?"

"No, we just met, so we can't take your things casually. I should have returned the phone to you, but I made some flaws, so I can only pay back the money."

Mo Zixi knew that he looked weak, but in fact he was stubborn like what Han Chenyi said, and he didn't want to entangle him in this matter anymore, so he could only accept the money, thinking of finding another way to return it to him in the future .

"Are you looking for a part-time job?" Mo Zixi took the envelope and put it in his pocket without opening it.

When Shen Bei saw that he had accepted it, a stone fell from his heart: "Well, I am an orphan who was kindly adopted by Professor Wen, but I can't keep bothering them, so I want to make some money by myself, while I am still in my second year of high school time."

While listening, Mo Zixi searched in his mind for a more suitable part-time job for him.Everything they ordered came up, and the table couldn't fit. Just as the people at the next table left, the boss dragged that table over.

"Eat slowly, and call me if you need something." The boss couldn't even close his mouth in a smile. It was the first time he saw such a bully.

Mo Zixi watched Shen Bei eat little by little, his already beautiful lips became more plump and attractive because of the oil stains, those squid and oysters seemed particularly delicious in his mouth.So Mo Zixi, who usually doesn't like seafood, couldn't help but take a sip.

Before eating half of the food on the table, Shen Bei felt something was wrong. His legs suddenly felt a little sore, and the skin on his body gradually became very dry. He could only pick up the tea on the table and drink it cup by cup. .Seeing this, Mo Zixi thought that he was getting hot, so he poured tea for him, but his pouring speed couldn't keep up with Shen Bei's drinking speed, and within a minute, the kettle on the table bottomed out.

"Boss, have another pot of tea." Shen Bei called, and when he looked up and saw the date on the clock in the shop, Shen Bei remembered that today was his No. 15 day on land.He quickly lowered his head to look at the shark beads on his neck, and found that the color of the shark beads had become very pale. He knew that he had to go back to the sea immediately.

So he quickly stood up and said, "I've finished eating, I'm going home."

Mo Zixi was taken aback by his sudden action. He was so full when he was still asking the boss for tea the last second. He looked at the untouched food on the table and said, "Don't worry, eat before leaving .”

"I'm really finished eating, you eat slowly, I'll go first." As he said that, he was about to go out.

Mo Zixi could only put 500 yuan on the table, stood up and followed him: "I'll see you off."

"No need, I'll go by myself." Shen Bei didn't know when he would turn back into a fishtail, and didn't dare to let Mo Zixi see him off.But his legs were a little weak, and he couldn't walk fast.

Mo Zixi called the driver, and the driver who was eating not far away hurriedly put down his chopsticks and drove over.Mo Zixi grabbed Shen Bei's wrist and dragged him into the car involuntarily.

"where is your house?"

"On the south coast of Baiyin Sea."

Mo Zixi didn't say any more, and told the driver "drive" before quietly leaning on the car seat.He saw Shen Bei's sudden nervousness, anxiety and insecurity in his eyes, he didn't know why Shen Bei wanted to go home suddenly, since he didn't tell, Mo Zixi wouldn't ask either.

As soon as the car reached the south coast, Shen Bei asked the driver to stop the car: "Thank you for sending me off, my house is in that house, and I got off the car right here." Shen Bei pointed to a place less than 200 meters away from the sea. A house in front of the house is full of rocks.Mo Zixi couldn't figure out why someone would build a house here.

Before Mo Zixi could respond, Shen Bei opened the door and got out of the car.The driver saw that he had gone far, turned the steering wheel and turned back.Mo Zixi looked back from the car window, but saw Shen Bei quickly running towards home, turned a corner, and disappeared behind a rock.

Mo Zixi frowned, Shen Bei seemed to have many secrets, and these secrets deeply attracted Mo Zixi.He thought that one day he would let Shen Bei tell him willingly.

The sea was already completely dark, Shen Bei tried his best to run behind the reef to avoid Mo Zixi's sight, his legs turned into a light blue fish tail as soon as they touched the sea water.He put the fish's tail in the sea, feeling the comfort brought by the lapping waves.And picked up the mobile phone in the schoolbag on the bank and called Grandpa Wen.

Grandpa Wen hurried over to take away Shen Bei's schoolbag, and Shen Bei turned around and got into the water, swimming towards the deep sea.

Everything in his body longed for the moisture of the sea water.

Originally, Qiu Shui, who was still worried about her son, saw Shen Bei coming back, and a stone fell from her heart. She greeted her from a distance and reprimanded lightly: "Why did I come back? I was so worried that I thought you forgot."

"I had dinner with my classmates in the evening, so I came back a bit late." Shen Bei explained, and then he remembered that he just left and forgot to pay the bill, and it was Mo Zixi who paid for him again.

"How is your classmate? Do you get along well? How is he treating you?" Qiu Shui asked three questions in a row.

"Very good." After Shen Bei answered, he swung his fish tail and swam away.

On Saturday morning, Mo Zixi found the job advertisement posted by Shen Bei three days ago on the website. He opened it and took a look, but no one responded to the advertisement. Presumably, no place would recruit a high school student.He thought for a while, picked up the phone and called the person in charge of a cafe under the name of the Moshi Group.

For the next two days, Mo Zixi couldn't get in touch with Shen Bei, he couldn't get a reply to his text messages, and no one answered his calls.He stayed in his house and walked back and forth, suppressing the idea of ​​going to his house to find him.

It was not until Monday morning that Mo Zixi received Shen Bei's reply via WeChat.

[I went fishing with my family on the weekend, and I didn’t bring my mobile phone with me. I was in a hurry last time, so I forgot to pay the bill. I’m really sorry. I’ll treat you after school today. 】

Mo Zixi stared at the phone for a while, and replied yes.He couldn't miss the opportunity that came to his door.

When school was over on Monday, Han Chenyi didn't ask the driver at home to pick him up, and walked out of the school gate with Shen Bei. As soon as he reached the gate, he saw Mo Zixi waiting there. He was slightly surprised, walked up a few steps and punched Mo Zixi Xi shoulder: "Why are you here today? Conscience found out and picked me up from school?"

"I'm here to look for him." Mo Zixi looked at Shen Bei, and poured cold water on Han Chenyi mercilessly.

Han Chenyi gritted his teeth and said: "You fucking forget your friends, I don't care, I will follow you all the time today."

Shen Bei didn't take Han Chenyi's words to heart, but stroked his hair embarrassingly, and said with a smile: "Then let's go together, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

"Eat cake." Han Chenyi called, "Today is my birthday."

Shen Bei nodded and was about to wish him a happy birthday when Mo Zixi said coldly, "Isn't your birthday next week?"

Han Chenyi rushed to the street!Seeing Han Chenyi's expression, Shen Bei couldn't help laughing, his smile stunned the group of people at the school gate.Mo Zixi hated the gazes that were fixed on Shen Bei, so he gave the name of a restaurant casually in a low voice, and left with the other two.
