senior [rebirth]

The old residential area is quiet and dark at night, and the street lights flicker on and off, barely illuminating a distance of three to five meters nearby.

Lin Xi looked at the moths flying around, as if he hadn't fully recovered from the incomparably real dream, and would reach out to touch the left side of his cheek from time to time.In the dream, a huge scar once appeared at this location.

The pain is excruciating.

Xu Hanlai came here by taxi. After getting out of the car, he took only two steps and saw such a scene. He watched Lin Xi's repeated stroking movements, and his heart seemed to be hit hard by something.

Under normal circumstances, probably no one would understand the meaning of Lin Xi's action, but Xu Hanlai did, inexplicably, and even felt a strong sense of pity in his heart.

He pursed his lips and walked straight towards Lin Xi.

Sensing someone approaching under the streetlight, Lin Xi turned his head to look.His eyes were heavy, as if he was suppressed by the great pain caused by the ugly scar in the dream, until he saw Xu Han coming, there was a flash in it again, and then he smiled dryly, and said hello: "Hey , senior."

Xu Hanlai stood beside him.

Lin Xi shook the money he had just taken out at him and said, "Snack, do you want to eat?"

Xu Hanlai's brows immediately frowned, of course he could see that the child's smile was not sincere.The pity and pity that had just been stirred up because of Lin Xi's actions, together with this smile, evoked the irritability in his heart that was never easy to have.

After a while, Xu Hanlai intentionally relaxed his tense heart, glanced at the banknote in the elementary school boy's hand, and said, "Three five yuan? What do you want to eat?"

"Ah?" Lin Xi followed his words, and finally took a serious look at the colorful banknotes in his hand.He took a handful just now and thought it was quite thick, but he took a closer look and found that it was all one yuan and ten cents, and some were folded up. Didn't it add up to just three and five yuan?What is this enough to eat?

"...Oh." The understanding Lin Xi touched his head a little embarrassedly, and then said softly, "Then senior, wait for me, I'll go up and get some, I still have some."

After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around, but Xu Hanlai frowned and held him back: "Don't take it."

Lin Xi turned around: "Huh?"

Immediately, someone grabbed his wrist and walked all the way outside.

Lin Xi didn't quite get used to it at first, the scarred dream seemed to have drained all the strength in his body, and when he started running suddenly, his legs were not used to it and they would feel weak.But he really wanted to follow behind the senior, so even though it was uncomfortable, he pressed it forcibly, and only followed Xu Hanlai's hand all the way.

Don't even ask where the destination is.

It wasn't until Xu Hanlai pulled them into the taxi that had been waiting outside the complex, and the taxi took them to a community a little outside the front gate of No. [-] Middle School, that Lin Xi seemed to be slowly regaining consciousness.

"Senior... home?" He asked in a daze after Xu Hanlai took him into the elevator and pressed the floor.

"En." Xu Han came to answer.

"Ah?" Lin Xi had never been to Xu Hanlai's house in his last life, and he didn't know where he lived, so he became nervous all of a sudden: "Why did you bring me here suddenly? No, are my uncles and aunts here? , I haven't bought anything yet..."

"I live alone." Xu Han came to interrupt him, then looked at the child a little funny and said: "Do you still want to buy something? What do you want to buy?"

Lin Xi was caught by his voice, blinked, and said hesitantly, "...a welcome ceremony?"

"Who did you hear that when children go to school, they need to buy a welcome gift? Huh?" Xu Hanlai happily rubbed his head, and put the watch on his wrist in front of him: "And it's already three o'clock in the morning, kid, Even if you buy it, no one will accept you."

"... Courtesy is in mind. If no one accepts you, you should buy it." Lin Xi retorted subconsciously with a wrinkled face, and then froze: "Ah? It's already three o'clock in the morning? Isn't it past twelve o'clock?"

Xu Hanlai was amused by the child's reaction, answered the time question, and said, "Then just wait."

"Wait for what?"

Xu Hanlai pointed to the number on the elevator screen: "When the elevator arrives, press the first floor and accompany you to buy a door-to-door gift. Doesn't it mean you have to buy it even if no one is there?"

When the voice fell to the ground, he glanced at the three yuan in Lin Xi's hand, and said happily, "There are four people in my family, and the senior will lend you another five cents, which is just enough to buy four lollipops."

Lin Xi: "..."

Who came to the door to give lollipops?

His face turned red and white, and turned red again. This time he realized that Xu Hanlai was teasing him, but he didn't know how to fight back, so he turned his eyes away awkwardly, and said stiffly: "No, since there is no one, then Just buy it next time."

"Oh." Xu Hanlai smiled at Lin Xi and said, "You still want to have a next time."

Lin Xi: "..."

Then his face turned red at the speed of light, and he couldn't help looking at the floor, as if he wanted to sew the floor in this elevator.

When the elevator arrived at the designated floor, there was a crisp ding. Xu Hanlai who was next to him seemed to have achieved his goal, looked at the elementary school boy whose face was blushing, raised the corners of his lips, and while leading him outside, said: "You're kidding!" Yes, don't you want supper? I'll bring you here. "

The place where Xu Hanlai lives is very large—accurately speaking, it should be very empty, because there is almost nothing in it, so it looks very large.

The same is true for the refrigerator. When Lin Xi first saw a small amount of two eggs and green vegetables inside, he really did not expect that Xu Hanlai would finally bring out a bowl of delicious fried rice with eggs.

"Senior can cook?" Looking at the bowl of rice, Lin Xi asked in surprise.

In his previous life, in his memory, Xu Hanlai from No. [-] Middle School had always been the young master of the Xu family. He was extremely generous in his daily life, and he took a group of classmates to eat out happily. How could such a person know how to cook?And looking at that posture just now... quite skillful?

"Senior knows everything." Xu Hanlai said while taking a silver spoon and handing it over.

Lin Xi took the spoon and paused.

What he said about eating supper was just an excuse to meet the seniors, and he didn't really want to eat it.But when the senior's bowl of fried rice was placed in front of him like this, he couldn't bear to eat it.

So when Xu Han came to ask him, "Don't you want to eat supper?", he quickly replied "Yes", and then moved his spoon to bite.

The light rice grains tasted particularly delicious. Lin Xi's appetite was mobilized after taking two mouthfuls. During this time, he glanced at Xu Hanlai who was standing by the table, and asked doubtfully, "Will you not eat, senior?"

"Don't eat." Xu Hanlai shook his head, then stared at the elementary school boy whose cheeks bulged from eating, twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Little pig steals food at this time."

Lin Xi choked up, looked at the bowl in his hand, then at Xu Hanlai, bravely answered the teasing sentence, and whispered: "I'm not a pig."

Xu Hanlai smiled: "Well, this is the time for children to steal food."

Lin Xi: "...I'm not stealing, I'm obviously aboveboard."

As he talked, he rolled his eyes and added, "And I'm growing."

When the words fell to the ground, Lin Xi clenched the spoon in his hand and turned over the rice in the bowl, feeling a little excited in his heart.It feels pretty good that this kind of senior can barely keep up with a teasing sentence, and his face won't turn red so easily like in the past.

So he rubbed his fists and looked at Xu Hanlai, just waiting for him to continue teasing, and then he immediately applied what he learned.

Unexpectedly, Xu Hanlai didn't play cards according to the routine at all, he seemed to see the child's eagerness to try from Lin Xi's bright eyes, he smiled softly, and then said indulgently: "Well, then you eat a little more, and then eat more. grow up."

Lin Xi's heart beat like a drum, and then under Xu Hanlai's gaze, he slowly buried his head lower and lower.

...he didn't know how to answer it.

Lin Xi always eats food carefully, so even if Xu Han came to control the amount when making it, which was much less than the main meal, Lin Xi still ate for a long time.

In the process of eating, the surroundings gradually quieted down, and Lin Xi remembered the accident and reading before.

It seems a little worried that Xu Hanlai will turn to the topic of love letters again, so this time Lin Xi learned to be smart and didn't directly mention the car accident in the English reading. He spoke earnestly to Xu Hanlai.

"Senior, look at this, have you seen it? The editors say that you can't drive while drinking, absolutely not." Lin Xi sternly tapped the screen, and said seriously: "Otherwise, the driving is irregular, and the family members Two lines of tears."

Xu Hanlai was sitting opposite Lin Xi. He looked at him with his head propped up and said, "I'm broken in love and bankrupt, and I have no one to accompany me. Is there still such trouble?"

Lin Xi paused for a moment, then immediately frowned and retorted: "You can't think like this. No matter what time it is, people should cherish their lives. This is a gift from nature. We all have times when we are frustrated, although at this stage Maybe you will be broken in love and bankrupt without anyone to accompany you... But if you survive, maybe you will have a happy family and someone to accompany you?"

Xu Hanlai looked at the child, emphasizing that he was very deliberate: "It seems to make sense."

"That's right." Lin Xi nodded again and again, then remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Also, when I was a student... it's best not to fall in love. When I graduate, the social wind will blow away. If you don’t like it, it’s not reliable at all, so why not study hard first.”

Although Lin Xi still doesn't know why the girl who was rumored to meet her senior at the university broke up in the end, and she hasn't remembered her name yet, but it's always good to take the opportunity to get a preventive injection.

He took the syringe with great interest, but unexpectedly, Xu Hanlai, who was on the opposite side, didn't respond as well as the last sentence when he heard this sentence. He paused for two seconds, frowned and said, "This reason doesn't seem to be sufficient."

Lin Xi was stunned, and then frowned: "How could it be? It's very sufficient."

Then he swipe his phone, and immediately he will find [-] shocking news about graduation and breakup for Xu Hanlai.

Xu Hanlai on the opposite side just watched the child busy for a long time in such a cheerful manner, and then when he was about to forward the news with great interest, his palm fell directly on the lit phone screen, covering it completely, and then gently pressed down , said: "Don't look at it."

"Mine are different from any of these."

Immediately when Lin Xi looked up in astonishment, he took out a piece of paper from the side and handed it to him, saying: "I have rested for half an hour, wipe it off, and go to the room to sleep."

Lin Xi was stunned by his words, and looked up at the senior for a long time, not knowing whether to persevere in continuing the topic of the couple breaking up, or to shock the senior for letting him stay overnight.

The two thoughts crossed the ground in his mind for a long time, and then Lin Xi suddenly remembered a more important thing.

When Xu Han comes to the house, it seems that there is only one bedroom?

He looked back at the huge living room of the senior's house, as well as the open study door and bedroom door. He felt as if his neck was being strangled by someone, and he stammered: "Student, senior, you, your house seems to be a Just one bed?"
