Sorry [Rebirth]

Cheap dishes like hot pot are quite tempting for Xun Mi.

He himself is the kind of person who doesn't like spicy food, and he especially loves hot pot - there is no food more satisfying than hot pot!

Moreover, in City B, it is rare to find a restaurant that is cheap and has a variety of dishes.

The location of this store is relatively remote, downstairs of a movie theater, there is only a small elevator at the entrance, but because it is affordable and delicious, it is full every day.There are often no seats on Saturdays and Sundays, so we have to queue outside.

It was also their luck that the hot pot restaurant was open until twelve o'clock in the evening, but like them, there were not many people who could come to eat at such a late hour, so they went in without queuing at all.

And this is considered to be the end of the peak season, and fresh dishes are also available.

"Wow, how did you find this restaurant?" Shao Ya was dazzled by the dazzling array of dishes as soon as she entered.

In fact, most people choose to eat at hot pot restaurants because it is easy to eat outside, and there are many types, and they don’t worry about buying waste, and they don’t have to wash things after eating.

Of course, delicious food is also very important.

Furthermore - this store, seafood, barbecue, and even a lot of snacks and freshly squeezed juices next to it, it is simply a paradise on earth!

"I forgot too." Xun Mi stroked his chin and thought about it. In his last life, it seemed that he found out when he came here to apply for a part-time job after receiving the flyer, and he still worked here for a while.

It is also because he has worked here and knows that the assembly line and things here are very clean, so this store was also his favorite one in his previous life.

It's just that in the last life, I was relatively tight. It may take a month or two to eat 60 yuan, and most of them are in winter.

After the two arranged the seat number, they put the sign there to occupy space, and went to get the food together.

Shao Ya marveled as she picked it up, "Tsk tsk tsk, so many dishes, 60 yuan per person... It is said that a half-child eats a poor old man. I will bring my dad here again, and it won't hurt me."

Shao Ya, a small money fan, took a pot slowly, and finally sighed, "It's really a bargain!"

These days, a glass of juice costs more than ten yuan a glass outside, and it’s free here—drink a few glasses of juice, and you’ll get your money back.

Thinking this way, the two planned to open their stomachs and eat wildly.

But because neither of them can eat spicy food, Shao Ya can't eat it, and Xun Mi has a bad stomach. Although he wants to eat it, he just dares to taste it. In the end, he ordered a mandarin duck hot pot, which can pass Eye addiction is also good.

"By the way, which school do you plan to apply for in the future?" After the two of them ate and drank enough, the hot pot restaurant gave away two free coupons before going out.When the birthday is marked on it, you can eat here for free with your ID card or student ID card.

Both of them took one, and when they went downstairs, Shao Ya suddenly asked this.

Xun Mi smiled when he heard the words, and didn't say it directly, but said, "Well, let's go together."

He turned his head left and right, took two sticky notes and a pen from the comment column downstairs, handed one to Shao Ya, and said, "Write it down together, and then see if the two of us chose the same place, How about it?"

There was a smile on Shao Ya's vigorous face, and she wrote it down with a brush.

After that, the two people spread their hands at the same time, and on the two sticky notes, two similar handwritings coincidentally wrote down a few words:

—— Huada.

The number one university in their country is also the place where all students dream of entering.

The two friends looked at each other and smiled, and pasted the note on the post-it wall on the other side.

Shao Ya glanced at it, and then said, "After the college entrance examination, if anyone fails the entrance examination, please have dinner!"

"You are too cruel, you still want to treat yourself to dinner after you failed the ranking?" Xun Mi went out with him dumbfounded.

Shao Ya laughed 'hehe', with a nonchalant expression on her face, "If you don't want to treat me to dinner, then you can pass the exam."

Xun Mi raised his eyebrows, and silently gave Shao Ya an equally provocative look.The two walked forward arguing all the way, Xun Mi glanced at the watch in his hand and said, "I'll walk with you to your house, and then take the bus back. There is no one at this point, so I can see the street view."

Shao Ya rolled her eyes, and although she muttered something like 'what street scene to see in the middle of the night', she still brought Xun Mi to the bus stop sign near their home, which happened to be not far from their door.

After watching Xun Mi get into the car, Shao Ya waved to him and walked into the house.It's just that he didn't know what he thought of on the way, and his expression became vivid again.

Being able to enter the same university with your friends is a very happy thing to think about.

After getting on the bus, because the time is relatively late, and it happens to be the last bus, the driver also wants to save trouble. If there is no one on the roadside, he will stop stopping.

Seeing this, Xun Mi directly told the driver where he was going down. The driver glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to start the car.

The speed is limited at night, and the driver is also afraid of accidents, so he drives very slowly on some small roads, and the headlights in front and behind the car are not turned off.

After two or three stops, Xun Mi suddenly saw a familiar figure next to the garbage dump at the parking lot of the vegetable market.

That's Meng Yiyi.

Just at this time, someone got into the car. It was an old man who seemed to know the driver very well.Because the old man saw that his legs and feet were inconvenient, the driver even got out of the driver's seat and helped him up. While complaining that the old man was not free at this point every day to go out to pick up garbage, he carefully helped him to the old, weak, sick and disabled. Go to the special seat, and tell the old man to hold on to the handrail before leaving.

During the time delay, Xun Mi also heard the conversation between the mother and daughter outside the window.

"Don't delay, hurry back to the room to study, I'm here, I don't need you!" said the middle-aged woman with gray hair and dirty-looking anti-dirty clothes.

She stretched out her hand and pulled her daughter who was working in the front to the back, and then pointed to a very small room inside. There were simple beds and small dim lights in it. Buzzing mosquitoes, the ground is also the most primitive land, not even tiled.

There is also a burning mosquito coil in the room, slowly rising the smoke, but it seems to have little effect.

"Oh, I'll clean this up. Close the stall early, let's go to bed early, I found out about a part-time job, fifty per day..." Meng Yiyi kept talking, and quickly put the packing bag away. Well, he is also wearing clothes that block the dust.

"What are you doing part-time job!" The woman's voice was very determined, "You are a student, your job is to study hard, how much is a part-time job a day, if you have no money, mom will give you... use your time wisely, and study hard to be successful Don’t be like your mother. When you want to go to school, your grandma will not let you go. When you save enough money, you will be too old... I will hold a parent-teacher meeting for you, and your mother will not write your own name, so that you will be laughed at by your classmates ..."

Meng Yiyi stopped talking, pursed her lips and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, then I won't go."

"Don't clean it up, your hands are dirty, and there are black mud under your nails, making your classmates laugh at you! Tomorrow you get up early and go to the bathroom to wash your face. Mom bought a facial oil at the morning market today. Hurry up!" Go wash your hands, and after washing, apply it to your hands, nourish, moisturize your hands..."

Xun Mi raised his hand and glanced at the time, it was 23:[-] in the evening.

The lights of thousands of houses will be extinguished, and when some people have fallen into a deep sleep, there are always people who are working tirelessly for life and tomorrow.

The car drove further and further away, but for some reason, the scene just now has been lingering in Xun Mi's mind for a long time.

The old man at the back seemed to get off at the same stop as him. After Xun Mi got off the car, the driver helped him down from behind and kept muttering, "Hey old man, come home late at night and sleep well, it's you I can’t see the night road clearly, and if I fall, I’ll waste years of garbage!”

The old man asked the driver to help him out of the car, and under the light of the car, he slowly showed his few remaining teeth to the driver, and smirked "hehe" for a while.

Xun Mi watched the driver humming a song and got back into the car, and watched the old man pacing slowly on his crutches, walking in the opposite direction to him. He looked up and went home.

When Xun Mi saw that all the lights in the house were off, he opened the door very quietly—he even wrapped all the keys in his hands as if stealing the bell.

When he was about to tiptoe upstairs with his slippers in his arms, he was stopped by a voice from behind the sofa.

"Where did you go?" Mo Jue sat up from the sofa, with a tired look on his face.

Xun Mi blinked and smiled flatteringly, "Brother..."

"You still know that there is a brother like me." Mo Jue was not moved at all, raised his hand to glance at his watch, and said expressionlessly, "You told me to be home on time before eleven o'clock. What time is it now?" , see for yourself."

Xun Mi glanced again, it was almost 11:30.

He put down the slippers lazily, and walked forward stepping on them, "Isn't this celebrating with my classmates? Forgot..."

Taking a cautious look at Mo Jue's face, Xun Mi said guiltily, "...I won't dare again in the future."

Mo Jue sighed silently, then rubbed the center of his eyebrows with his own hands.

"I didn't blame you for this." He frowned slightly, and said, "Just next time, if you come back late, remember to send me a message back. I called you several times, but none of them answered."

When Xun Mi heard this, he quickly glanced at his phone—it was already turned off.

"I know I was wrong brother." He took the initiative to hand in the phone, "My phone is muted at school, and I forgot to turn it on after class..."

Mo Jue stood up from behind the sofa, sized Xun Mi up and down, and then said, "This is not an example."

Xun Mi hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

After handing over the mobile phone to Xun Mi, Mo Jue turned and went upstairs, but gave another daily reminder, "Go to bed early, and drink the milk before going to bed."

It's milk again.

Xun Mi's face turned dark - just a few days before he was discharged from the hospital, the doctor said it was not recommended to drink milk because it was sticky, and he had only been hiding for more than half a month.

It's a pity that the good days didn't last long, why did I choose to start drinking milk again today?

He would rather have Mo Jue beat him up than drink milk with two meals a day. He felt that he would not be able to get used to the milky smell in two more lifetimes.

——However, it is absolutely useless to fight against Mo Jue at this time.

Xun Mi looked pitifully at Mo Jue disappearing at the top of the stairs, but turned his head again to wait for his response, nodded with tears in his eyes, and said positively and positively, "Got it, I will definitely drink it!"

"Remember to drink it up." Mo Jue finally said.

Xun Mi: "..." Speechless.

Not to mention how many thoughts I had just now, when I saw the milk in the room that was still smoking hot in the thermos... Xun Mi couldn't think of any thoughts.

He took a deep breath in pain, tried not to ask about the smell as much as possible, drank the milk all at once, wrinkled his face and took several sips of water to suppress the milky smell.

Xun Mi tossed and turned fried eggs on the bed, tried several times to close his eyes, and even put on earphones to listen to lullabies, but no matter what he tried, he couldn't fall asleep.

He opened his eyes again irritably and looked at the time on the electronic watch, it was almost two o'clock.

His eyes were dry and painful, but after he closed his eyes, he didn't feel sleepy at all. All he could think of were things that had nothing to do with him.

In the end, he pursed his lips, turned over and sat up from the bed as if giving up, and he didn't know where he was pulling, and with an inexplicable emotion, he rushed out of the door and walked towards Mo Jue.

When standing at the door, Xun Mi pursed his lips, as if he had made a decision, hesitated no more, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

There was no sound inside, it seemed that Mo Jue had already rested.Xun Mi's energy dissipated immediately, his shoulders collapsed, he sighed and planned to go back, but found a little warm yellow light leaking from behind him, casting a bright yellow light on the corridor—— The lights seemed to be turned on.

Xun Mi's eyes widened, and he stood outside the door for a while.From time to time subconsciously step on the right foot with the left foot, changing back and forth.

I came out in such a hurry that I forgot to wear slippers.

"Come in." Then came a deep male voice from inside, listening to it in the middle of the night, Xun Mi didn't know what was wrong, and his skin was inexplicably covered with goose bumps.

Xun Mi cautiously opened the door, poking his head in.Seeing that he couldn't see much inside, he walked inside, only to see that Mo Jue had sat up from the bed and was rubbing his eyes at the moment.

"Brother." Xun Mi stood by the bed and greeted Mo Jue, and at the same time, his body, which was tense due to the coolness, relaxed a little.

Mo Jue seemed to have just woken up when he heard the knock on the door, and only turned on a desk lamp next to him. The light was dim now, but the lingering atmosphere was very comfortable.

Hearing Xun Mi call him, in the middle of the night, Mo Jue's movements were inexplicable, and the voice rang out again was mixed with hoarseness and depression. He bent his legs, picked up one side of the glasses, put them on, and looked straight at Looking at Xun Mi's face, he said, "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"I have something to ask you." Xun Mi dawdled, not knowing what he wanted to say when he came here, pursed his lips, and finally asked, "Do you know why I went to celebrate with my friends today? ?”

"What?" Mo Jue raised his brows slightly, as if he was a little surprised - after all, when he asked Xun Mi this afternoon, Xun Mi kept silent and insisted on telling him after he got home.

Xun Mi tried his best to keep his composure, and summoned up the courage to finally speak, "Today... no, yesterday, the class teacher asked me about the recommendation. I want to ask, is there any involvement in this matter... at home?"

"No." Mo Jue lowered his head and straightened his loose pajama collar. All the emotions in his eyes were suppressed by him, and none of them leaked out. He said lightly, "That's because you rely on yourself Earn it."

Hearing this, Xun Mi breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, although he couldn't say why.

He pursed his lips, relaxed a little, and sat down at the foot of his brother's bed, "Then, brother, what do you think about me being escorted?"

Then Mo Jue raised his eyes, squinted at Xun Mi, and smiled.

He said, "It's fine, my brother... is amazing."

When the voice came to the end, Mo Jue's ending dragged a bit, and his eyes swept over Xun Mi lightly.

Xun Mi inexplicably felt a feeling of embarrassment when he was praised by his elders when he was young.

His face was a little red, and he hugged his knee in embarrassment, only to realize that it was a little cold at the moment, "Brother, there is a poor student in our class."

Mo Jue looked calm and motioned for him to continue.

"When I came back tonight, I passed by there and saw it. She and her mother live in a small house, the ground is full of land, the door is the oldest wooden door, and there are many gaps on it. It's almost winter, so it must be drafty. Yes, city B is so cold in winter..." Xun Mi fell into the things he saw just now.

That kind of environment was actually no stranger to him.

After leaving Xun’s house in the last life, the house that Shao’s mother helped him find was actually quite good—a one-bedroom, one-living single apartment, with a monthly rent of just over 3000. It is very cheap.

It's a pity that he had just left Xun's family at that time, so he had nothing on him.

And at that time, he still carried some pride of a young man in his bones because he was ignorant of the world.

This also made him not use a dime of the Xun family's money at all, so that he was very embarrassed. In the end, he went around a few times and found a similar residence. Compared with the wooden door, he had a big one. The iron door, at least when you are huddled in the innermost part of the bed, you don't have to worry about being blown cold by the leaking wind, and you will be woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.

If you don't adapt, you will definitely not adapt.

Every morning when I got up early, some punks on the street would go to the breakfast shop to get some food, cursing and swearing. After being discovered by the stall owner, they had a big fight at the door.There will always be people who raise chickens and ducks nearby to drive their livestock. In winter, their hands are covered with chilblains, and in summer, they are so hot that they are sweating profusely. They are so sticky that they can't sleep at all.So later on he was both afraid of the cold and the heat, and the first thing he did when he saved enough money was to install an air conditioner in the rental house he finally settled down in.

After saving enough money, he moved out from that place, so he knew how hard it was.

"En." Mo Jue just listened lightly, without showing any emotion.

Xun Mi looked at him, pursed his lips, and still said, "I... thought about it, anyway, our family does not lack this money, and the recommendation for this place is more about the reduction of tuition and miscellaneous fees. In fact, for me It doesn't matter. Can I give this to Meng Yiyi?"

Only then did Mo Jue move.

It's just that he looked at Xun Mi who was sitting at the foot of the bed, and pinched Xun Mi's feet with his big hands.

Very cold.Mo Jue frowned.

When the male's fiery hands pinched his feet, Xun Mi, who suddenly felt the temperature, hadn't reacted yet. When he noticed the heat coming from his feet, he immediately hissed. He was also broken up, and he twitched his feet and said, "Brother, your hands are so hot."

"It's because your feet are too cold." Mo Jue frowned and glanced under the bed, his eyelids lifted, "Are you not wearing slippers?"

Xun Mi nodded timidly, "I, I forgot."

There is still a little unknown grievance.

Mo Jue lifted his quilt a little, then patted his side, "Come in."

Xun Mi smiled, and was not polite to him, he crawled to his side, and rolled next to Mo Jue, only to realize that he was completely cold.

From a cold environment to a warm environment, there is a human pillow next to it exuding warmth, Xun Mi sighed subconsciously, his feet carefully explored one warm place after another, and found it if he felt that it was not warm. a place.

"Put your feet on my lap when it's cold, and I'll warm you up." Mo Jue raised some pillows, and then suddenly turned off the light.

His body temperature was high, and there was heating in the room before, so there was no thing to warm the bed at all.

After a while, just when Xun Mi thought he was asleep, Mo Jue said in the silence, "You have grown up, some things, you can decide on your own."

Xun Mi blinked in the darkness, turned sideways to look at his brother's profile.

Mo Jue has a typical cold and stern look, and when he is not smiling, he looks very dignified.

I don’t know who I heard it said. People with such a face seem to not change too much when they get old. Instead, they will become more and more serious, and finally become an old-fashioned old-fashioned person who can scare children to tears when they go out. kind of.

The genes of the Xun family have always been very good. Although I have never seen Xun Zezong when he was younger, there is a photo of Mo Jue's mother at home.

I don't know who inherited Mo Jue's bridge of nose. It is very straight, and his eyes are also very deep. When he closes his eyes, he looks like a mascara.

Xun Mi subconsciously rubbed the brows of the other party who were still frowning even in sleep, looked at Mo Jue's eyes that were opened again, smiled, and said softly, "Thank you brother."

Mo Jue closed his eyes again, pulled Xun Mi's hand down and put it under the quilt, then wrapped his other hand around him, gently running along his back, and said after a while, "Go to sleep." .”

The big hands on the back carried an almost inconceivable force, Xun Mi's body was slowly, slowly inserted into Mo Jue's arms without him noticing.

His head was pressed tightly against Mo Jue's neck, and after Xun Mi fell asleep, Mo Jue opened his eyes again.

There was no trace of sleepiness in those eyes, and they were bright. He lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, stroked the top of his head with one hand, and revealed the corners of his slightly pursed lips. He didn't know what he was thinking.
