Different pupils

The three of them ate each meal with their own thoughts.

Xiao Dan just felt that he was not compatible with Xing Yu, first he was cheated out of money, and then he was punished, it was not a good thing.

Lin Haoren was absent-mindedly thinking about how to save the little ghost, and glanced at Xing Yu's trouser pocket from time to time.

Xing Yu was thinking about the kid just now, and vaguely felt that for a moment, Lin Haoren seemed to glance in the direction of the kid?

In his hazy memory after his soul was separated from his body, he only felt that he met someone he knew. He met Lin Haoren by such a coincidence, and the neighborhood where the other party lived was not far from the elementary school where the accident happened...

Is it a coincidence?

After dinner, Lin Haoren and Xiao Dan cleaned up the dishes. Xing Yu also wanted to help, but after breaking two cups and slipping a plate of leftovers into the refrigerator, they were kicked out of the kitchen together.

He sat on the sofa and wiped his hands with a paper towel, and the vial in his pocket moved slightly. The kid didn't look big, but he was quite strong.

In the kitchen, Xiao Dan peeked out, then asked Lin Haoren in a low voice: "He really doesn't remember?"

"Looks like it is."

"Then how did you meet?"

Lin Haoren briefly explained the whole story, and Xiao Dan casually said, "Then you two are destined."

Lin Haoren stopped washing the dishes, and said calmly: "Who wants to have a relationship with him? After he leaves, there should be no chance of seeing him again."

"You really think so?" Xiao Dan glanced at him, "I feel that you really want to be friends with him."

"..." Lin Haoren's ears turned red slightly, and he said fiercely, "You think too much."

"What about me?" Xiao Dan bumped his shoulder, "Do you want to be friends with me? I come to you all day, are you annoyed? I know you don't like the wreath on the door..."

The corners of Lin Haoren's mouth curled up, and he wiped Xiao Dan's clothes with his wet hands, and said, "You are enough for me as a friend."

"Oh." Xiao Dan jumped up happily and said, "Small mouth is so sweet. If you say it again, there will be no red envelopes."

Lin Haoren clicked his tongue regretfully.

The time quietly pointed to the early morning, Lin Haoren still couldn't find a way to save the little ghost, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

In the living room, Xiao Dan and Xing Yu were watching TV, talking to each other from time to time.Xing Yu didn't understand how he had offended this ancestor. After giving in once or twice, Young Master Xing naturally wouldn't be polite anymore, and started to fight back with a smile on his face.

Lin Haoren watched silently from the side, and a few question marks popped up in his heart from time to time—how could these two people be so naive?

Xiao Dan said coldly: "It's so late, so I won't see you off."

"It's still early, and it's not yet dawn." Xing Yu said with frowned eyebrows, "It's rare to see Senior Lin once, and I still have a lot to talk about." The implication is that I have nothing to talk to you about.

Xiao Dan's eyelids twitched: "Are you really planning to talk at night by candlelight?"

"Isn't it a good story?"

Who has had a good time with you?

Xiao Dan put down his legs and said, "Don't you need to go to work?"

"Family business, decide for yourself. Just kidding."

Xiao Dan snorted: "Rich second generation, don't think that parents can do whatever they want if they have money."

Xing Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, lowering his eyes modestly and said, "It's better than playing tricks and asking for gifts."

Xiao Dan jumped at the table: "Xing's surname! You should eat and drink, it's almost done!"

Xing Yu looked up, still with the same tepid expression: "Senior is polite, I'm quite 'ok', and I don't need to be reminded by the senior. As for dinner... I didn't come empty-handed, I didn't buy a cake With wine?"

Xing Yu turned to look at Lin Haoren again: "Senior, why did he only let me go? Are you living together?"

Lin Haoren kept staring at Xing Yu's trouser pocket, and the two people's voices against each other sounded like a BGM, which almost made him fall asleep.

Suddenly being called, he said "ah" and looked over in confusion, seeing Xiao Dan glaring at him and Xing Yu smiling gently, he didn't know what the two were talking about, so he changed the subject with a straight face: "It's getting late, everyone go back. "

Xiao Dan really shot himself in the foot, and immediately shouted: "I want to stay overnight! I bought the sweet duck! I hung the wreath on the door! I arranged the Christmas tree! I even bought you a present!"

Lin Haoren: "..."

Xing Yu raised her eyebrows: "I also treated my senior to a cake..."

"That's why you should..."

"Brother Dan." Xiao Dan almost leaked his words, but was stopped by Lin Haoren.

Xiao Dan walked towards the guest bedroom angrily, with a look of no discussion on his face, the light bulb in Lin Haoren's mind suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at Xing Yu: "It's getting late, why don't you stay?"

Xing Yu: "???" What is this unfolding?

Xing Yu wanted to say "no need" rationally, but emotionally blurted out: "Is there any room available?"

"Yes, but it's a bit small. Why don't you sleep in my room..."

"It's okay." Xing Yu stood up, "Can I borrow the bathroom?"

Lin Haoren glanced over Xing Yu's trouser pocket, and felt that the other party was very good, so he nodded with satisfaction: "Of course."

Xing Yu: "...?"

The bathroom is not big, and there are signs of damp under the old tiles. In some places, the tiles have peeled off, exposing the gray wall behind.

When Xing Yu was taking a shower, Lin Haoren quietly took off the trousers hanging outside the door, and took out the small bottle from his trouser pocket.

The little bottle was still moving, Lin Haoren whispered: "Be good, don't bark."

The bottle obediently stopped moving, Lin Haoren stretched out his hand to open the bottle cap, the cinnabar print on the bottom of the bottle flashed a little red light, and Xing Yu behind the door suddenly opened his eyes under the hot water.

As soon as the kid slipped away, the door was suddenly pulled open.

The moist mist rushed out of the bathroom in a heat wave. In front of the dark door, Lin Haoren was caught with a bottle in one hand.

Just as Xing Yu was about to speak, he was taken aback suddenly.

This scene overlapped with the messy picture in memory for no reason.

Behind the same moist mist, stood a vague silhouette.No matter what, he couldn't see who it was, he could only vaguely see the outline of the other person's strong body, thin ankles and...a small mole on his lip.

Xing Yu suddenly covered her head, her memory was in a mess, and she didn't know which one was real, the picture in front of her or her memory.

Doesn't make sense?If he couldn't see that person's appearance clearly, how could he see the mole on the other's mouth clearly?

Lin Haoren subconsciously wanted to hide his hands behind his back: "You'll catch a cold, go in quickly..."

"What are you doing with my things?" Xing Yu was wet all over, with his forehead stuck to his forehead, and grabbed Lin Haoren's wrist with one hand, "Senior?"

"I just want to see..." Lin Haoren said calmly, "What brand is this...disinfectant."

Xing Yu was overjoyed, and stroked Lin Haoren's palm with his finger. When he took the bottle away, he hooked his finger between Lin Haoren's fingers, very ambiguously: "You let go of the guy inside. Can you see it?"

"What?" Lin Haoren pretended to be stupid, "let go of what? Isn't this disinfectant?"

Xing Yu showed a gentle but dangerous smile.

Just pretending to be aggressive depends on the occasion, the cold wind blew by mercilessly, Xing Yu sneezed uncontrollably, Lin Haoren hurriedly pushed him into the door - the palm of his hand touched the hot and firm body, making him shrink unnaturally I flicked my fingers.

Xing Yu looked down, and before he could speak, Lin Haoren shut the door behind him.

A man's voice came muffled through the door: "It's my fault to casually look at your stuff, I apologize to you. You hurry up and wash, don't catch a cold, I'm going to bed first."

Xing Yu sighed, but there was no movement outside the door.He stretched out his hand to caress the place touched by the man, and raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

Early the next morning, Xing Yu left without saying goodbye.

He didn’t take away the roses he bought, so he unpacked them and put them in an empty vase on the shoe cabinet. He also left a post-it note beside him, on which was written his contact information and words of thanks: “Dinner is delicious. Christmas hapiness."

Xiao Dan brushed his teeth and muttered with froth, "What did he give you flowers for?"

Lin Haoren threw the post-it note into the trash can, thought for a while and picked it up again, looked at the vigorous writing on it and asked, "Accommodation fee?"

Xiao Dan: "..."

The New Year is coming soon after Christmas, and the kid was probably scared and didn't show up again.Xiao Dan was busy organizing the New Year's Eve live broadcast lucky draw, while Lin Haoren received various manuscript fees settled at the end of the year.

After deducting the painful manuscript tax, it can be regarded as a considerable income.

Although he does not earn much now, it is enough to support himself. Lin Haoren has no ambitions but also has a little hope: he hopes to think of better themes next year, and hopes that the income will be better.

I hope...the yin and yang worlds can coexist peacefully, and there will be no injustice in the world.

Of course this is not possible.

But people just have this kind of strange thought, no matter how the previous year was, it seems that everything can be deleted and restarted after the new year, and become a brand new blank self from the inside out.

But time has no nodes, it just keeps moving forward.

All festivals, anniversaries, and unforgettable moments worth celebrating are the meanings that only living people can give to time.

Lin Haoren has no family, only Xiao Dan is a friend and a retired master who only sees him once or twice a year, so those time points are not of much value to him.

Every year is the same as the last, every year is the same, every year is...

"Senior!" Outside the small courtyard on the first floor, across the iron fence, a familiar figure stood outside, holding a shopping bag full of fruit and snacks.

The warm winter sun was shining on his head, and he was wearing a dark blue three-piece suit, which made his whole body look like a tree.

Lin Haoren closed the computer and stood up in surprise, opened the window and said, "Why are you here?"

"Come to see you." Xing Yu smiled with crooked eyebrows, and seemed to be in a good mood, "I bought a cake, do you want to eat it together?"

Lin Haoren was a little puzzled: "You..."

The uncontrollable feeling became more and more intense, and he wanted to ask "why did you come to see me" and "we didn't know that well".

But he knew intuitively that if he asked, he would definitely hear an answer he didn't want to hear.

Near the end of the year, this person who suddenly broke into my life seems to indicate that the future will be completely different from previous years.

This change made Lin Haoren a little uneasy. He hesitated while clutching the window frame, and Xing Yu keenly captured his shrinking appearance.He didn't give the other party a chance to escape, and said directly: "I know everything, senior. I know you can see it, and I also know that it was you who injured the guy in the Soul Melting Cauldron."

Lin Haoren was taken aback for a moment: "The Melting Soul Cauldron?"

Xing Yu entered Lin's house as he wished, and from the moment he entered the door, his eyes were firmly locked on Lin Haoren, almost sizing him up intently.

"I'm sorry I investigated you." He said bluntly, "You know about my life and death, right?"

Lin Haoren pretended to be stupid: "I don't understand what you are talking about?"

Xing Yu shrugged indifferently: "Although life and soul separation will cause you to be unable to remember many things clearly after waking up, you just can't remember clearly, not completely forgotten. There is a difference. I have been looking for you since I woke up, I know What did I do with a person, but I don’t remember the whole thing, and the other party doesn’t remember who it is.”

Lin Haoren held the teacup and took a sip of it in a disguised way. His expression was stiff and his brows were frowning, and he looked extremely impatient. He had the air of a big guy who said "I'll cut off your hand if you say a wrong word".

Xing Yu lowered his voice and said bewitchingly: "I have evidence, senior. First, we found out the school's surveillance, and with the help of the teaching director and the police from the police station, we confirmed for me that it was you; second, you deliberately Let go of that brat, I know you can see it; third, I checked Senior Xiao Dan's recorded video."

Lin Haoren didn't think this was any substantive evidence, even if the dean accused him of turning around the school in the middle of the night, it still couldn't prove that he was related to the school's strange incidents.He just needs to say that he is there to collect information—he did say that at the police station back then, and the transcripts are all there.

Xiao Dan's recording and broadcasting can't prove anything, it is impossible for the living soul to be photographed... Wait?

Lin Haoren suddenly realized something, and his eyelids twitched.

Xing Yu's peach blossom eyes were shining brightly, and the corners of his mouth were raised and he clicked on a video: "It seems that the senior remembers it?"

That day, the two of them went to the community where Uncle Bao Wang lived, and Xiao Dan went to check in at the Internet celebrity shop opposite, and a live broadcast was started at that time.

The camera did not capture the living soul, but it recorded Xing Yu's voice——

"Today is an outdoor live broadcast, so I will live broadcast for a while. Have you seen that store? One of the famous check-in spots in our city... Let's go, I will take you to see it!"

There were a bunch of lively comments on the barrage.

Xing Yu's voice suddenly appeared: "What are you talking about?"

Followed by Lin Haoren's helpless voice: "Don't pay attention to him."

Xing Yu paused, seeing Lin Haoren's hard-to-talk, smiled very comfortably: "Senior? Do you still want to continue pretending that you don't know me?"

Lin Haoren: "..." Damn.
