senior [rebirth]

The next morning, Lin Xi was woken up in his sleep.

Lin Meiling seemed to have had a quarrel with Li Rende, she packed her things and went out early in the morning, slamming the door of the house loudly.

Lin Xi opened his eyes under the quilt, lay down quietly for a while, and then got up silently to pack the books for today's class.

The living room outside became extremely quiet after Lin Meiling left, and the air seemed to be filled with fragile glass.

After Lin Xi packed her schoolbag, she stood beside the door for a long time before carefully pushing the door open, as if she was afraid of breaking something if she didn't pay attention, but she didn't expect to smell the delicious breakfast in the room.

Li Rende cooked a bowl of Yangchun noodles for Lin Xi, and he still had a happy face, as if the quarrel with Lin Meiling in the morning was Lin Xi's illusion.And when he was eating, he turned around and took out a few crumpled banknotes from the room, totaling 70 yuan, and said to Lin Xi with a smile and gestures.

"Student's birthday, remember to give others some gifts."

Lin Xi had already started to feel sour unconsciously when he smelled the aroma of breakfast. Now he was sitting on the chair, glanced at the money on the table, and instinctively buried his face deep in the bowl of Yangchun noodles .

He originally thought that he could be more indifferent and hard-hearted in such a scene with ten years more life experience than he is now, but he didn't think it was all an illusion.

Some scars are painful no matter how long they have been poked.

"Xi Xi." When Lin Xi went out with his schoolbag on his back, Li Rende thought for a while, reached out and patted his shoulder lightly, and then gestured slowly as if considering: "Did you hear this morning? You, Don't blame your mother, your mother is not angry with you, she is...she just can't control her emotions a little bit. "

Lin Xi glanced at him, knelt down to put on his shoes, and after a while hummed softly, saying, "I know."

Li Rende who was behind didn't hear any emotion from the child's tone, and stood at the kitchen door, looking a little at a loss.

After tying his shoelaces, Lin Xi stood up, took a small breath with his back turned to Li Rende, and then opened the door to go out. Looking back, he showed him a flawless smile and said, "It's okay, uncle, I understand. Thank you for taking such good care of my mother."

Then when Li Rende was still in a daze, he added in a low voice: "...Thank you for taking care of me."

For Lin Xi, this sentence has been stuck in his mind for two lifetimes. Even if he has understood it clearly, it is always difficult to get over the knot.So even though I was fully prepared when I tied my shoelaces before, the voice when I really said it was still as small as a mosquito.

But this is Lin Xi's heartfelt voice.

Although I can't say it frankly, it is very sincere.

Li Rende at the door of the kitchen was so surprised by the two consecutive sentences that he didn't make any gestures, while Lin Xi at the door had already turned around and ran downstairs.

In the early morning, the old community has woken up, the air is filled with the fragrance of morning dew, and the golden sun shines on Lin Xi.

He was walking at first, but after two steps, he suddenly started running on the uneven stone road.

After bypassing several parents and children who were pushing the carts in their hands and sending their children to school with gentle smiles on their faces, Lin Xi seemed to be able to forget his biggest troubles when he was young without looking at them.He went straight to school, leaving his troubles behind, and the heart that wanted to see the seniors had already been flying high in the air.

The sunshine ahead is gentle and dazzling.

Lin Xi did not forget the task Yao Zijing gave him. He asked Xu Hanlai and Liu Hao for their opinions before the morning reading, and gave Yao Zijing feedback after the morning reading.

"So, they promised to come?!" Yao Zijing, who received the good news right after her morning reading, was so happy that she jumped up, and then covered half of her face with her textbook.

Lin Xi looked up at the girl with flushed cheeks, smiled, nodded affirmatively and said, "Well, they agreed."

"Seniors, they seem to be all science subjects, and they will be seniors next year, right?" After Yao Zijing happily shared the news with his little sisters, Li Tengfei next to him gently pushed his glasses: "I don't know if they will Which university do you want to go to?"

Liu Haolinxi didn't know, but Xu Hanlai was of course from the Capital University.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, he will definitely work hard.

"I'm a little curious. Senior Xu's words should be very clear, right? I'm different. I don't know much about universities, and I don't know much about majors. My family was discussing which major has a good prospect a few days ago, but I always feel-- "Li Tengfei said while noticing Lin Xi's movement next to him, he was a little surprised and said: "Lin Xi, why did you cut the English newspaper?"

Lin Xi hummed, and said, "This paper was finished yesterday, and I won't use it again."

Li Tengfei: "...Then there's no need to cut it off, right?"

Lin Xi turned his head and smiled at him, without explaining, just followed what he said just now: "What do you think?"

Li Tengfei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "I don't think I'm very interested in it, not in those majors, but in the science as a whole... I don't seem to like it very much, so I can't provoke it at all."

Lin Xi hummed for a long time, put the leftover English newspaper aside neatly, and then carefully put away the scissors, his reaction was so indifferent that he didn't seem to hear Li Tengfei's words.

Seeing this, Li Tengfei thought it was his complaining words that disturbed him, so he pushed his glasses in embarrassment, and was about to turn his head as if the topic was over, when Lin Xi next to him asked slowly, "Then what do you like?"

Li Tengfei was taken aback when he heard this question.

……what do you like?

Recently, the family has been discussing the prospects of various schools and majors. It seems that no one has ever asked him what he likes. Prospects and income are the first considerations.Lin Xi was the first to ask him this question. After thinking for a long time, Li Tengfei hesitated and whispered his thoughts: "Liberal arts."

After slurring the two words, Li Tengfei laughed self-deprecatingly: "Isn't it ridiculous? Boys like liberal arts, so they're worthless, right?"

Lin Xi glanced at him and chatted with a smile: "No, I like it too."

Then the voice said softly: "I like history."

The wind in the morning was very refreshing. Lin Xi sat at the table with his head propped up, rubbing his fingers lightly on the newspaper he had just cut.

Looking at the thin piece of paper, the corners of his eyes gradually curled up: "I have loved reading since I was a child, especially history books. I read them one after another. My grandma is a historian, grandpa is an archaeologist... my mother is I am a professor in the history department, so I like history the most, and I have practiced calligraphy before, and my childhood dream was to become a practitioner in the direction of history in the future."

When he was young, his favorite thing to do was to hold history books and ask his mother to read them to him. The little Lin Xi could often stay obediently all afternoon after listening to them. His love for history seemed to be innately engraved in his genes. .

It's a pity that there are too many troubles when I grow up. Slowly, it seems that no one can remember this little dream, including Lin Xi herself.

Even if he went back to ten years ago, he never thought of picking it up.It's just that when he mentioned it again, there was a bit of nostalgia in his voice, which sounded very gentle.

Li Tengfei next to him was dumbfounded, silent for a long time, until the class bell rang, and then asked incomprehension: "...Then, why did you choose the reason?"

Lin Xi put away the newspaper clipping, put the math book for the next class on it, then turned his head and smiled at Li Tengfei, without answering his question.

But the answer couldn't be simpler.

Because there are seniors in science, and there are his favorite seniors.

He wanted to grab him desperately.

When Lin Xi was running upstairs between big classes, the second and third classes of high school hadn't finished yet, and the teacher standing on the podium was handing out papers.

I don't know what subject it is, but when Xu Han came, it was exactly sixty points.

After Xu Hanlai walked up, Lin Xi saw the teacher give him a hard look, and scolded: "It's like this every time, do I have to boast that you stuck the passing mark?"

Lin Xi was afraid of attracting attention, so he took a look and hid outside the back door. When he vaguely heard this sentence, he thought to himself that it was because of this sixty-point foundation that the senior was able to pass the exam in the last month. What about my favorite Capital University?

That grade, not to mention No. [-] Middle School, is not common in the whole city, so he felt that it could indeed be boasted.

But Xu Hanlai in the classroom didn't say that much, he went up and took the paper directly, and just smiled at the teacher's unhappiness, with almost no extra emotion in his eyes.

It wasn't until he turned around and stepped off the stage that his eyes swept across the back door inadvertently, and saw a bunch of familiar black hair, Xu Hanlai raised his eyebrows slightly, and walked back to his seat with the paper.

After handing out the test papers, the teacher on the podium babbled and told them to go back and take a good look at their grades, and even said a lot of warnings about the imminent senior year.

Lin Xi stood outside the back door and followed suit.

Although it has been a while since I returned to high school, Lin Xi has not forgotten the memory of opening a pet coffee at the age of 27. Hearing a teacher's warning to the senior year, it is inevitable that there is a sense of magic, so he unconsciously looks at the sunshine outside the corridor and becomes dazed. , Fiddled with the English newspaper clippings in his hand from time to time with his fingers.

"Have you thought about it?"

Lin Xi was taken aback when a familiar voice came from his ear.He turned his head suddenly, and saw Xu Hanlai leaning against him at some point.

To be precise, there was just half a step difference between Lin Xi who was leaning against the frame of the back door and Lin Xi who was standing in front of the tiles outside the back door.

Originally, there was this gap, and the distance between the two of them was not too close. They hadn't accidentally leaned against their legs while eating at Qianqian Restaurant that day.It's just that Xu Hanlai just now didn't know why. After going out and seeing the child in a daze, he deliberately lowered his head when he asked the question. From the side, it seemed that he was buried next to Lin Xi's ear and was biting his ear.

The speaking voice was even more terrible, it was exactly the same as the voice received from the mobile phone before, not to mention, this time it also included the warm breath of the senior.

Lin Xi instantly looked like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, and when he turned his head, his eyes widened.

Xu Hanlai didn't expect his reaction to be so intense. Before his body could withdraw, Lin Xi's hair tip brushed his lips inadvertently.

Itchy, bath frankincense with milk.

Xu Hanlai was stunned for a second, then couldn't help laughing.

This smell, why is it really like a child.

And Lin Xi, who was first attacked by sound and breath at first, turned his head and was directly sniped by the senior's smiling face at close range, and was almost knocked out on the spot, choked for a long time, his throat was tight, and he said dryly: "Think, think, think about it what?"

Before the words landed, my cheeks turned red unconsciously after thinking about the distance just now.

This time it wasn't the tip of the ear, but the entire cheek, so obvious that it was impossible to cover it with hair.

Feeling this, Lin Xi felt so dry that he wished he could just cut a hole in the floor of the corridor and go back to Class [-] and [-] of Senior High School.

Xu Hanlai in front of him looked at the child's appearance and couldn't help but pause.

He really likes to tease Lin Xi recently, but he never thought of teasing him so hard. Lin Xi's reaction was quite unexpected to him.

...But accidents are accidents, he does not reject them.Not only did he not repel it, but seeing Lin Xi like this, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart.

Seeing Xu Hanlai looking at the elementary school boy in front of him, he just tilted his head slightly, and then laughed, his voice was extremely gentle, but what he said was like a devil in the world to Lin Xi at the moment.

"Think who will break my love?"

A deliberately dragging voice that seemed to have a deep meaning made Lin Xi feel like his heart was about to jump out.

He didn't know how the senior in this life became like this. In the last life, he was obviously not like this. He had never talked to him so close, let alone close to his ear, and now he still uses this tone.

Seeing Xu Hanlai's appearance, Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

His feelings for his seniors are too different, and he has no love experience in his previous life. An ambiguous movement like kissing the ear, even if it is not actually kissed but only suspected, is stepping on a high-tension line for the young man's body.

Fearing that some uncontrollable reaction would occur if he stayed like this for a long time, Lin Xi overturned all the words he had prepared for a long time, and hurriedly stuffed the newspaper clipping in his hand into Xu Hanlai's arms, and said a stiff sentence: "Look look at this!"

Then they ran away.

"Ah? Just left? I still want to come to say hello." Lin Xi had disappeared, and Liu Hao in the classroom came to the back door and tilted his head at this time and said, "Why are you running so fast?"

"I don't know." Xu Hanlai said with an innocent tone.

He was pushed back by Lin Xi's movement of cutting newspaper clippings just now, and the light and fluffy newspaper clippings just stopped on his original movement of folding his arms.

The person had already left, Xu Hanlai stretched out his fingers, slowly picked up the three clippings pinned together, and glanced at them casually.

Liu Hao also looked at him, and then read while reading: "Hey, what is it, reading comprehension? It's also in English? What did you write, ah, it's because of it, because..."

"inacaraccident." Xu Hanlai lowered his eyes and answered slowly.

"Car, car accident?" Liu Hao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Damn it, no, brother, why did you pronounce that sentence in English so well?"

Xu Hanlai ignored him, walked around Liu Hao with the newspaper clipping and walked straight back to his seat.

"Hey, it's really nice." Liu Hao still stopped at the same place and studied silently, "Because of Ka Kexi and so on..."

Before he finished reading, he suddenly thought of something and ran to Xu Hanlai, saying: "No, no, no, brother, the point is not the content, but what is this thing? The elementary school brother just stuffed it for you, and ran away as soon as he stuffed it. "

The kind that ran away without saying a word, he just saw it all.

"Who knows." Xu Hanlai lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice.

Liu Hao was about to guess whether it was because the little classmate couldn't write his own homework to ask the senior for help, when he saw Xu Hanlai throw the paper on the table, paused for two seconds, then twitched the corners of his lips, and said in a very joking tone : "Love letter."

"..." Liu Hao's original words were stunned and he lost the three words. He looked at his brother Han for a long time and respected him: "Brother, you are so fucking thinking."
