senior [rebirth]

That night Lin Xi sat near Mancheng Park for a long time but couldn't wait for Li Rende.

I don't know whether he blended into the crowd and was not caught by Lin Xi, or he simply didn't approach the gate of Mancheng Park because he seemed to have a feeling.In short, Lin Xi, who had given up hope in the end, ran into Li Rende in the living room of his home after being sent back by Xu Hanlai.

He seemed to have just finished taking a shower, and when he saw Lin Xi, he still had a warm smile on his face as usual, but this time there was a bit of fatigue in the smile, and he gestured and asked, "Xi Xi went home?"

"I'm sorry today. Uncle hung up the phone without listening to you. Did you have anything else to do?"

Lin Xi opened his mouth, did not speak, lowered his head and took off his shoes, and then said slowly, "Uncle, I seem to have seen it in the First Hospital today..."

"No, no." Before Lin Xi finished speaking, Li Rende in front of him shook his hand vigorously, then smiled cheerfully at him, and continued to gesture: "You misread Xixi, that's not me, I am today I was looking for a job in the North District, but I didn't go to the park."

Lin Xi pursed her lips.

He seemed to be thinking for a long time, then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Li Rende and said, "Really?"

The child looked clean and pure in the living room lit only by bathroom lights with obvious questioning eyes, which pierced people's hearts.

Eyes can never lie.

Li Rende's expression froze when he met Lin Xi's gaze.At that moment, many complex emotions flashed across his face, and Lin Xi almost thought that he was going to tell himself the truth.

But after a while, Li Rende still bit the bullet and gestured: "Hey, hey, it's true, it's true."

While gesticulating, he laughed dryly again.

Lin Xi didn't speak any more.

He stood at the door for a while. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a stack of white paper in the red cloth bag that Li Rende often carried around on the dining table in the living room. It was quite new. It looked like hospital paper with forms printed on it.

Just as he was about to take a few more glances, Li Rende stepped forward to put the bag away, put it on a chair that Lin Xi couldn't see, and then continued to smile at him.

"Did you go out to play with your friends again today? Are you tired? I bought some fruit for you. I'll cut it up and send it to your room."

Liu Hao seemed to be unable to hold back at home, and he didn't wait until the day he returned to school. As soon as Xu Han came to hear that Lin Xi wanted to sell cakes during the summer vacation, he hurriedly called Lin Xi out to discuss with him how to sell cakes.

"Why are you waiting to go back to school? Anyway, after the exam, the grades are guaranteed to die. You won't get a higher score if you wait one more day. That thing about Xiao Linzi is fun, let's just start it!"

This is what Xu Han said on the phone.

"Don't leave Xiao Linzi, your brother Hao doesn't want your money. Just let your brother Hao spend more time on the cakes you made in the past two months. If it doesn't work, just take care of the food! It's okay, don't feel that you have treated me badly, just With my appetite, you might lose money if you turn around!"

This is what Da Lala told Lin Xi after the meeting.

He probably has a joyful effect. As soon as Lin Xi heard his voice, he felt a lot less depressed the night before because of Li Rende's incident.

Even before he opened the door and saw Xu Han coming, his eyes were already bent because of Liu Haole.

"Okay, I will definitely take care of it, and I have to take care of the loss. Brother Hao buys whatever he wants to eat."

"Justice! It's a deal!"

No need to go to school, Liu Hao is wearing a T-shirt with Ultraman printed on it today. After opening the door for Lin, he said while slumping on the sofa at Xu Hanlai's house.

Probably afraid of scaring Lin Xi, he looked at the door after collapsing and said: "It's okay, if you don't want to control it, you can let senior Xu take care of it. His cooking is delicious, let's make some Bento or something, let’s start a happy holiday.”

Lin Xi had just taken off his shoes and entered the living room, following these words, he unconsciously glanced in the direction of the kitchen.

Xu Hanlai's home was an open kitchen, and he was standing in the kitchen at this time, dressed differently from the home clothes he had worn when he met Lin Xi the day before, as if he had been out of the house in casual clothes, and his men were preparing drinks.

In fact, it is not a complicated process, just put ice cubes in the cup after pouring the cola.But Lin Xi couldn't help but look at him a few more times, until the senior turned his head to look at him as if feeling something, and then quickly turned his head back.

Then he scratched his ear and said, "I will order too, and I can do it when the time comes."

"Oh, that's right, Xiao Linzi, you are so good at making desserts, you should be able to do this too, then let Brother Hao taste what you made." Liu Hao clapped his hands, then raised his eyebrows at Lin Xi, stood up and stretched out his hands With a tick in the corner: "How is it?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand maliciously to scratch Lin Xi's belly. Lin Xi was so small that he couldn't stand him who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and the two of them almost fell onto the sofa together.

The sofa is only that wide, so Lin Xi struggled to get away from it in a hurry to stand aside for fear of bumping into it accidentally.During the period, I almost knocked against the coffee table next to me, but in the end I was grabbed by someone to stabilize my pace.

Lin Xi turned her head following the cool touch, and saw...a glass of milk.

Different from the cola with ice in the kitchen just now, Xu Hanlai is holding a glass of milk with donut cereal in his hand, and the milk liquid, which is completely different from gas, is gently shaking in the transparent cup.

Lin Xi: "..."

"Hey Brother Han, what about mine!" Liu Hao howled loudly.

"Get it yourself." Xu Han came to put the milk on the table, and let go of Fu Linxi's hand.

"Why are you so eccentric... I'll take it for myself."

Following the direction Liu Hao left, Lin Xi looked at the milk in his hand, and at the big bottle of Coke in the kitchen.

He glanced twice, and his eyes subconsciously fell on Xu Hanlai.Before he could speak, he heard the senior's voice.

"No."

Lin Xi shrank her neck resentfully: "...Oh."

The next day was the back-to-school day. When Lin Xi received the news and came to the senior's house, he never thought that all the plans for the summer vacation could be finalized today.

After all, returning to school is actually quite an important day in his heart, because it means that he will receive a report card that can determine what class he enters in his sophomore year.And if this report card is too unsatisfactory, Lin Xi even thought about setting aside half a month to a month of summer vacation to make up progress. For him, this will always be the first in his heart.

But the matter of Li Rende made him restless, so Lin Xi was always absent-minded after Xu Han came home.

At first, he was a little worried that his state would affect his seniors, but later he found that this idea was superfluous.

Because unlike his urgency for this job, Liu Hao and Xu Hanlai's attitudes were obviously much more relaxed, so after he entered the house, they didn't start discussing directly at all, but gathered together to chat and joke, and play games from time to time.

Especially Liu Hao, who seems to have completely forgotten that he had made an appointment to accompany Lin Xi to discuss selling cakes when he came here. He jumped from one topic to another without stopping for a moment.

It seems that Lin Xi has been neglected, but he doesn't mind it, because Li Rende has been sitting on the side of the sofa holding a milk cup, in a tense state.

It wasn't until near noon that they led me to become happy, and I showed my first heartfelt smile of the day on the sofa.

The morning time passed quickly, and when the lunch was bought and spread out on the table, Liu Hao seemed to have remembered the business, and made a suggestion about selling cakes.

"I thought about this matter yesterday. I think we can sell it directly tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. And since Xiaolinzi can't find a store, let's set up a cart or a street stall. Isn't that in the park very good?" How much?” Liu Hao said while thinking: “As for the cart, it’s a simple matter. I have an uncle downstairs, and the broken cart has been idle for several months. I’ll let him borrow it later. It shouldn’t cost much. It’s just simple. It’s a little too late, and I might have to redecorate it later.”

"Anyway, this matter is very easy to handle." He said while drinking another Coke, and then looked at Lin Xi: "Actually, the key lies in Xiao Linzi, but I have confidence in Xiao Linzi. So why don't you do it this afternoon. Brother Han and I went out for a walk to see how to get the car, and then Xiao Linzi stayed at home to study what can be sold tomorrow. Anyway, as long as you cook enough delicious food, you, Brother Hao, will definitely guarantee that our booth will be visited by everyone. !"

Lin Xi was still surprised by the large number of lunches they ordered, but now he regained consciousness from what Liu Hao said, and thought for a moment: "Yes, yes. But it's not only about carts, materials and packaging... ..."

Xu Hanlai's kitchen utensils have always been complete, and Lin Xi doesn't have to worry about utensils and other issues if he stays here in the afternoon, but since it is a commodity to be sold, packaging and the like must not be ignored.

"Look at the cupboard for the materials. It should be enough. If it's not enough, let us know. In terms of packaging, Liu Hao and I went out to watch the preparations." Xu Han came to pick it up.

"Well, yes, that's it. I went out to take a look at the packaging." Liu Hao gave a thumbs up while unpacking a hamburger he just bought, taking half a bite.

Lin Xi was taken aback by his eating, and took a while to answer: "But the cost..."

"I'll talk about the cost when Brother Han and I go out to see it. Anyway, the car doesn't cost much, and the decoration probably won't be much. The main thing is the cost of packaging and materials. Brother Han and I will pay for these two first, and then we will calculate later. , I’m not in a hurry to do this. Anyway, I have confidence in you, Xiao Linzi. You only need to be responsible for making the biscuits delicious, and everything else is fine.” Liu Hao said while throwing away the remaining half of the hamburger. I stuffed it into my mouth, and then exclaimed: "Mmm! It's as delicious as this burger! It's great! Let's have another one!"

Lin Xi: "..."

He opened his mouth and made no rebuttal suggestions.

The division of labor is indeed the best way for three people to implement the plan together, and if the sale starts tomorrow, Lin Xi really needs to prepare well. Liu Hao is right, the focus is indeed on him.

And just now Lin Xi has already thought about it, no matter what his grades are when he returns to school, the decision to spend the first month of summer vacation as a part-time job will not change.

So he nodded: "Then trouble the two seniors."

"Small, don't bother, your business is really fun. As soon as I heard Brother Han say it, I wanted to try it with you. I think the three of us should work harder and turn this business into a booming business. It's awesome. In high school, I can write some summer essays when I look back." Liu Hao said while raising his thick eyebrows.

Lin Xi laughed: "Okay."

After lunch, the three separated. According to the plan, Liu Hao and Xu Han went out to deal with the cart problem, while Lin Xi stayed at Xu Hanlai's home to bake the desserts to be sold.

Not long after stepping into the kitchen, Lin Xi showed surprise eyes.

It's not because of the rich kitchen utensils inside, but because Lin Xi felt a little familiar after walking into this kitchen.

In a sense, a place like the kitchen and a desk have the same effect. After being used by one person for a long time, it will leave traces of that person's habits.In other words, after entering a strange kitchen, it should be very easy to find utensils and materials, but this situation does not exist in Lin Xi.

This kitchen is obviously different from the decoration of his own home and favorite coffee in his last life, but Lin Xi is inexplicably handy to use it. He can get what he wants with a few times when he can’t concentrate. Even the oven is His favorite style at this stage.

…It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is his dream kitchen right now.

The dessert chef is absolutely irresistible to the kitchen of Xinruyi, but Lin Xi's resistance is instantly weakened when he thinks that this is the kitchen of the senior's house.

He didn't think too much about other aspects, but his motivation suddenly became high because of the smooth production of the utensils.

In the end, in addition to the biscuits that were often made before, a batch of shortbread was baked, which was hot and fragrant outside.

The production process of the shortbread is a bit complicated, and since it is for sale, there are many places to choose in terms of size and appearance, so by the time it is finally finished and released, the sunlight outside has already dimmed.

Lin Xi has always believed that it is correct to say that mood affects works. For example, right now, he seems to have made a batch of shortbread that surprises him because of his love for the kitchen of his seniors.

Lin Xi was just being happy when he heard movement from the direction of the gate. Without thinking about it, he subconsciously called out: "Senior?"

Xu Hanlai's voice came from the entrance: "Huh?"

Lin Xi was really satisfied with making these shortbreads, and he was still immersed in the sense of accomplishment. Hearing Xu Han responding to him, he continued instinctively: "I made an extra batch of shortbread today, do you want to try it? Yes Doing it for the first time."

When the voice fell to the ground, Lin Xi clearly heard the movement at the door as if it stopped suddenly.

It was also because of this that Lin Xi looked out of the kitchen belatedly.

The golden sunset shines into the living room, casting warm light on the furniture and rendering the scene in front of you warm.The light refracted in the air is endless, as if gradually spreading to a place farther than the present.Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment, always feeling that the scene seemed familiar, as if he had confused the scene in front of him with some vague fragment in his memory.

This stupefaction was finally interrupted by the sound of a heavy object being dragged at the door.

Following the voice, Lin Xi went out curiously to close the door, and saw Xu Hanlai lowered his head and gently put a large bag of clothes on the ground, and besides the clothes, there was another...

"Hey, this is..." Lin Xi was a little surprised.

"Well, taste it." Before he finished speaking, Lin Xi heard Xu Han say.

I don't know why he is the only one who came back at this moment.

He broke out a little sweat, running down the corner of his forehead, and when his eyes fell in Lin Xi's direction, the latter's eyes happened to fall on the things he brought back, otherwise Lin Xi would have noticed Xu Hanlai's somewhat complicated expression at this time.

That expression was fleeting, and when Lin Xi came back to look at him, it had already disappeared from Xu Hanlai's eyes.

"Oh..." Lin Xi froze for a moment, then said, "It's in the kitchen, but what are these?"

"Liu Hao rented it, I'm going to the bathroom."

Xu Hanlai said while walking towards the bathroom.

Those clothes were full of heavy dust, and he seemed unwilling to let Lin Xi get on them, so he deliberately took a long way to enter the bathroom when passing by, while Lin Xi walked into the hallway curiously, squatting down to study the things he brought back.

"This?" When Xu Han came out, he saw Lin Xi's "first time making" shortbread on the table.

The color is darker, and the appearance is actually not very good-looking, just lying on the tray in the kitchen.

When he saw it, Xu Hanlai frowned subconsciously. He didn't know why this ordinary-looking biscuit felt more familiar in his sight.

...It was the same as Lin Xi's voice when he just entered the door.

Xu Hanlai reached out to take a piece, and when he was about to eat it, he suddenly realized that Lin Xi seemed to have fallen silent after he went to the entrance.

So he took the biscuit and walked over there.

When the porch came into view, Xu Hanlai also saw Lin Xi.

At this time, the child was squatting in the entrance with his back facing him, silently taking off the pink pig headgear he had just brought back from his head.

This was a gimmick Liu Hao thought of just after going out, and then he and Xu Hanlai went to the store to rent it temporarily.There are a lot of things, and they are not light to pick up. Xu Hanlai put them directly at the entrance door after returning home. I didn't expect that the child would try it out of curiosity.

Even because I don't know how to wear it, I accidentally stuck my head when I took it off, making my ears red.

Xu Hanlai's emotion, which had been unconsciously cooled by the familiarity, disappeared in an instant.

Lin Xi, who was squatting at the porch, didn't know if he heard his footsteps, his ears turned red quickly, but he pretended not to hear, and silently put the pink pig headgear back in place, then stretched out his hand and patted him gently. shoot.
