Fork in the road

After Bai Xiaoyuan got home, he didn't take off his coat in a hurry. He didn't take it off until he was warmed up. Then he folded the clothes and put them on a corner of the sofa.He looked at the time, and made the same choice as Yu Xian - to take a bath.

However, when he was taking a bath, he was in a completely different state from Yu Xian, and he was in a very good mood.

Being alone is a common thing for Bai Xiaoyuan, and sometimes he even spends New Year's Eve alone.This room that is empty most of the time will not arouse the emptiness and loneliness in Bai Xiaoyuan's heart, he can make fun for himself, even if he doesn't try to make himself happy, Bai Xiaoyuan is rarely depressed.

There is nothing to be unhappy about. His parents are still alive, his life is rich, he has no troubles in studies, and he has no setbacks in life. This already makes Bai Xiaoyuan quite satisfied.If you want too much, you will feel resentment if you don't get too much. Bai Xiaoyuan never has this kind of trouble.He can also be regarded as successfully applying the old-fashioned life experience of contentment and happiness in his own life.

After taking a bath, Bai Xiaoyuan walked out of the bathroom with a towel on his head, took homework and a small table, then hugged his quilt, nestled on the sofa in the living room, and prepared to write English homework while watching the replay of the New Year's party.

The rest of the homework was either done this afternoon, or it was finished before the holiday, and anyway, writing English doesn't need to be serious, it's just right for me to write while listening to boring TV programs.

When picking up the phone to check the time, Bai Xiaoyuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't called Xie Zichen back yet. Although it was not too late, it was estimated that Xie Zichen was with his family. □□I asked a question online, but I didn't expect the other party to send a voice call request immediately.

Bai Xiaoyuan turned down the volume of the TV, put on the earphones and accepted the call request.

Bai Xiaoyuan apologized first, "I'm sorry, I've been at a friend's house this afternoon, and I've just been free now. Why are you looking for me?"

Based on Bai Xiaoyuan's understanding of Xie Zichen during this time, the other party is not the type who would take the initiative to contact a friend, so there must be something wrong when he called.

"I just want to ask, what do you think of me registering an account at Station B?"

It took Bai Xiaoyuan a moment to realize which website Xie Zichen was talking about.Although he didn't know why the other party came to ask his opinion, he still answered seriously: "Do you want to post dance videos too? I think it's good. You are handsome and dance well. You will definitely gain a lot. fan."

"That's not what I want to ask... I'm worried that I won't be able to take care of my studies at the same time." Xie Zichen said with worry in his tone.

Bai Xiaoyuan hadn't asked about Xie Zichen's grades, but at this time he didn't need to analyze the relationship between academic performance and fishing time for Xie Zichen.Judging from Xie Zichen's tone, he definitely wanted to register. This call was nothing more than seeking some support. Even if Bai Xiaoyuan said that it would definitely delay his studies, he would definitely stick to his own ideas. Maybe he still felt that Bai Xiaoyuan was too worried.

Bai Xiaoyuan thought about it in his heart, and replied: "Actually, we haven't reached the time when we have to study every second. If you want to cast a video, you should take advantage of it. You really don't have time until the third year of high school." gone."

"Also... don't you have any ideas about this?"

Bai Xiaoyuan wrote a multiple-choice question, and replied, "I don't have any." He is usually considered not doing his job properly, and he can't concentrate on recording videos.

Bai Xiaoyuan suddenly thought of something after saying this, and added: "You can discuss it with Lu Shaoguang, she seemed to have said that she had this idea before."

"Well... Is it not good for me to find girls like this?"

Thinking about Lu Shaoguang's daily performance, Bai Xiaoyuan couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, Lu Shaoguang won't have any unreasonable thoughts about you."

Xie Zichen didn't answer. After all, not everyone can fight back quickly after being choked.Bai Xiaoyuan coughed dryly, "Anyway, you'll have no problem finding her. She's also familiar with Lingano, so she can definitely help you."

"Well, then I'll go back and find her."

The phone call should have come to an end. After finishing what he had to say, Xie Zichen must not be able to find any other topics. Thinking of this, Bai Xiaoyuan suddenly thought of something that he had been interested in all along, so he asked: "By the way, do you know Yu Xian?"

"Students from junior high school, I don't know you very well." Xie Zichen's answer was not much different from Yu Xian's.

Bai Xiaoyuan thought about how to ask Xie Zichen's opinion of Yu Xian so as not to appear abrupt, after all, this question sounded like he was going to introduce Yu Xian to Xie Zichen.Bai Xiaoyuan turned the pen unconsciously in his hand, and said: "I asked Yu Xian before, and he said the same thing. You really don't know each other well. But you seem to have been at the same table? How could it be so? Not familiar."

Xie Zichen didn't quite understand why Bai Xiaoyuan asked about Yu Xianlai, but he still replied, "You've seen my ability to make friends. I'm not very good at approaching people proactively, but Yu Xian...is about the same. He seems like I don’t really want others to get close to him, but maybe it’s because he’s disgusted with me?”

Bai Xiaoyuan said in his heart that it turned out that Yu Xian was still like this in the past three years in junior high school... This person still doesn't like to make friends as always.He explained for Yu Xian, "He definitely doesn't dislike you, it's not like handsome guys rebuke you, he just doesn't know how to communicate with strangers."

The two of them couldn't talk much about Yu Xian. Bai Xiaoyuan put down the phone, turned up the volume of the TV, and continued to do homework.

Yu Xian's personality really hasn't changed at all. When they met each other in high school, the two of them were able to return to the original state of getting along so quickly, which has a lot to do with their personalities that have not changed much.Bai Xiaoyuan was still active and enthusiastic, while Yu Xian was still passive and indifferent.

Although it seems that Yu Xian and Xie Zichen are both indifferent and not talkative, in fact, there are still essential differences between these two people in terms of making friends.Xie Zichen's indifference is only the outermost layer. Once he gets on the phone, he can communicate well, and he still wants to make friends, and he will also be annoyed by his not very good communication skills. lonely.

From the phone call this time, I can also feel that Xie Zichen wanted to register an account to post videos. First of all, it must be related to his love for dancing, but there should also be reasons for wanting to get more attention.Through this method, maybe Xie Zichen can make more friends. Bai Xiaoyuan hopes that no matter what the purpose is, Xie Zichen can get his wish.

Generally speaking, Bai Xiaoyuan felt that Xie Zichen had a cold face and a warm heart. Although he appeared cold, he was actually extremely shy and unable to speak out.

As for Yu Xian, Bai Xiaoyuan felt that he knew him better than his relatives.

Yu Xian is definitely not someone who would envy, envy, bite a small handkerchief and despise himself when he sees other people doing things right and wrong.Yu Xian is really too lazy to socialize, and he doesn't envy his own technology that can chat with strangers in a minute.

Xie Zichen felt that Yu Xian disliked him. Although Bai Xiaoyuan explained something for Yu Xian, he still felt that Yu Xian probably didn't thank Zichen back at all, but felt that all the communication he didn't need was annoying.Unless Yu Xian is already familiar with someone, he won't take the initiative to do anything.

Every time Bai Xiaoyuan thinks of Yu Xian's character, he can't help feeling that he is the only special case. He is grateful to Yu Xian's mother for forcing Yu Xian to change his nature, making him treat himself as a friend before going to school, otherwise Yu Xian would definitely not When I was in elementary school, I would worry about my academic performance like an old mother.

If Yu Xian hadn't played with him before school, Bai Xiaoyuan would have been lonely when he was a child. After all, his ability to make friends wasn't innate; if Yu Xian hadn't pulled him to study hard after he went to school Well, Bai Xiaoyuan still doesn't know where he will be eating and waiting to die.

Although Bai Xiaoyuan likes to make friends and is willing to make the other party feel comfortable in the process of making friends, this does not mean that he is willing to always take the initiative to approach people who are naturally indifferent, and it will be tiring to always please others.But Bai Xiaoyuan felt that even if Yu Xian treated him coldly, he would have the cheek to stick it up, because if he didn't take the initiative, Yu Xian probably wouldn't come back to contact him.

Yu Xian doesn't have many friends, and he probably doesn't care about losing one more, while Bai Xiaoyuan has many friends, maybe he shouldn't care about losing one of them, but for Bai Xiaoyuan, the lost and regained friendship with Yu Xian is very important. ,very important.

Bai Xiaoyuan feels that there is nothing wrong with taking the initiative at this time.

Yu Xian is his most important friend, not one of them.

And he believes that he is also Yu Xian's most important friend, not one of them - after all, Yu Xian has so few friends.

Bai Xiaoyuan finished his homework the night before, and got up early the next day to go to the dance class.

He arrived early, and there was only Lu Shaoguang in the classroom. Judging by her state, she should have practiced by herself for a while.Bai Xiaoyuan put down his schoolbag and sat next to Lu Shaoguang, who was resting, and greeted with a smile, "Good morning~ How early are you here?"

"I was a little excited yesterday, so I naturally woke up early in the morning. I had nothing to do at home, so I just came here." Lu Shaoguang stroked his sweaty hair, "Yesterday, I had an appointment with Xie Zichen on winter vacation, and I looked at it in the middle of the night. ..."

Bai Xiaoyuan interrupted her in surprise, "Appointment?!"

"I have a dance appointment, and he is shy by himself, so he called me." Lu Shaoguang poked Bai Xiaoyuan in disgust, "Dirty-minded kid, tsk. Don't interrupt me, I'll watch it in the middle of the night. After seeing the dance he sent me, I was a little excited, so I got up so early."

"Oh, brother Lu didn't come with you?"

"By the way, I always feel that you, Brother Lu, are calling me...Why did he come with me? We don't live together."

"Eh?" Bai Xiaoyuan had always thought that since they were brothers and sisters, they must live together.

"He moved out a few years ago." Lu Shaoguang opened the lock screen of the phone a little carelessly, lowered his eyelashes, "I want to move out in the future too."

Bai Xiaoyuan intuited that the other party's calm expression should have more unspeakable words. In the current situation, he should be able to exchange his own story for the other's story, and then the two of them will become closer after sharing each other's past. Some.

But Bai Xiaoyuan just smiled and said at this time: "Everyone is going to move out, you can't be old." Then he changed the subject, "By the way, show me that dance, I'm a little curious ~"

Lu Shaoguang nodded, "I'll look for it for you."

As soon as the words were finished, Lu Yanwu came in from the door. Seeing the two of them sitting side by side, she said "yo" teasingly, "You two are secretly dating here."

Seeing him coming in, Lu Shaoguang smiled and waved his hands, "Stop talking nonsense, bro, come and see this dance. I have an appointment with someone to record during the winter vacation. I need your guidance for a while."

It was not too late, Lu Yanwu simply walked over and sat next to Bai Xiaoyuan, who was holding Lu Shaoguang's mobile phone in his hand, and the three of them watched the video together.

Bai Xiaoyuan was a little distracted when watching, always subconsciously wanting to see the two siblings beside him.
