senior [rebirth]

Although there were some ups and downs in the process, the results of the first sale were generally satisfactory.

Teenagers are very forgetful. After taking pictures and talking to the little girls, they forget all the troubles before, humming and playing all the way back, and the time is just before twelve o'clock.

"It's only halfway through this day, and we've harvested a lot. It feels so good." After putting the trolley somewhere in the community with great effort, Liu Hao, who got on the elevator, touched the thick With a wad of money, he said with a satisfied face.

Xu Hanlai stood at the corner of the elevator, holding a few bottles of drinks he had just bought, and some snacks to fill his stomach. Seeing that Liu Hao was so happy, he asked casually, "How good is it?"

"It's good to be able to stand for another three days and three nights!" Liu Hao happily replied, his excitement directly infected Guo Yu beside him.

The latter looked at the thick bag of pocket money in his hand, and it was probably the first time he had tasted the joy of this kind of harvest, so he couldn't help but said, "Me too!"

Then he and Liu Hao laughed stupidly together.

The narrow elevator was filled with their devilish laughter for a while, and each sound became louder and louder, as if they really had endless and inexhaustible energy.

But when they got home 2 minutes later, the two fell on the sofa at the same time, motionless like dead bodies.Together with the forest eggplants that looked like they had been beaten by frost from the road, they filled the huge sofa in all directions.

The result was not unexpected, Xu Han came into the kitchen to get some ice water for them, put the snacks he bought earlier on the coffee table, and checked the time: "Let's have a lighter lunch, I'll go downstairs and order some Huaiyang dishes later. It will be a long time, eat some snacks when you are hungry."

After the voice fell to the ground, it took a long time for Liu Hao to hum, the meaning of which was unclear.

Guo Yu did say "Thank you senior", but his voice was muffled like a mosquito, and he couldn't hear it clearly unless he listened carefully.

And Lin Xi, who was curled up on the innermost side of the sofa, hadn't made a sound since he lay down.

When Xu Han came to see their immobile appearance, he was amused and didn't continue to ask.After only feeling the room temperature, I turned around and went to the room to get a few thin blankets out.

The temperature in the city is hot in summer, and several people came back from the sun outside sweating. After entering the room, Liu Hao directly turned the temperature of the air conditioner to the lowest level. A blanket is needed for the bed.

People of this age have a good physique, so they don't need to be too tightly covered. Guo Yu and Liu Hao just put their hands together, but when they reached Lin Xi in the corner, Xu Hanlai hesitated for a moment.

On the one hand, this child is different from the other two in the sleeping position, and his complexion in the corner of the sofa is really bad; on the other hand, it is——

Xu Hanlai frowned, followed the traces on the skin under the blanket, and pushed down the neckline of the child.

At some point, a rash appeared densely on the fair skin.

Lin Xi was so tired, she was the first one to fall asleep on the sofa after returning to Xu Hanlai's house.During the process, he felt cold, but his body was so heavy that he didn't have the energy to worry about this discomfort.

Fortunately, it seemed that someone wrapped her body tightly with something to drive out the cold, so that Lin Xi could sleep more comfortably.

But it was just a few, because not long after, Lin Xi felt something crawling away on his body after falling asleep, and itching everywhere he went.He instinctively wanted to scratch, but his hands seemed to be imprisoned, unable to move.

This feeling was not good at all, Lin Xi kept struggling in his sleep, so anxious that he uttered a few uncomfortable babbles, and almost opened his eyes, but at this moment, a cool feeling fell on his skin.

The touch came down slowly and gently, inch by inch along the discomfort.

The itching of the skin was suppressed by it, and the anxiety in Lin Xi's heart due to discomfort was gradually suppressed, so the whole body was like a small animal that had been soothed, its head moved slightly unconsciously, and immediately relaxed.

Drowsily falling back into the dreamland, but still faintly feel the touch on his skin.For some reason, Lin Xi always felt that this touch seemed somewhat familiar.

It seems that I have had such a similar experience before.

Something vaguely flashed in the back of his relaxed mind, Lin Xi had this thought in his arms, and it took him a long time to see it clearly.

The person in the picture seems to be him, sitting in a dark room, with a doll costume taken off and a stack of leaflets next to him, and a person whose face cannot be seen is squatting in front of him.

The man was rubbing the medicine on him, Lin Xi didn't know what kind of injury he had suffered, all he knew was that the ointment was cold to the touch, exactly the same as before.

The only difference was that the ointment just now could soothe his emotions, but the ointment in the picture still failed to suppress his burning heart.

In the clip, Lin Xi was heartbroken, and seemed to have many, many anxious words to say, but helplessly, those words were tossed and turned on his lips, but he couldn't find a good way to say them.

He looked down at the person who applied the medicine in front of him, and seemed to have made many mental preparations. It took as long as a century, and then he whispered the two words that lacked confidence: "Senior——"

The voice was not loud, but it did use a lot of courage, but just as it landed, it was interrupted by the clear and cold voice of the person in front of it.

Said: "No next time."

The man seemed a little angry, and even the movements of his hands were a little heavier than before.As for what is not allowed to have a next time, he didn't say, and Lin Xi in the picture didn't say anything.

The dimly lit room fell into peace again.

In the screen, Lin Xi looked down at the person in front of him for a long time. He did not speak anymore, but the endless emotions rolling under his thin chest were so full that even he outside the screen could empathize with him.In a vague way, that sentence seemed to be mixed with countless complicated thoughts, mixed with inexplicable emotions, and finally stuck in his throat, and he didn't have the courage to blurt out and rang softly from Lin Xi's ear.

"Senior, it's not the first time that my sister has missed an appointment. Think about it, does it mean that she doesn't like you that much?"

...Sister?

What senior?

The heart seemed to be hit by something suddenly, as if more pictures were about to break through the clouds and mist, but at this moment, Lin Xi seemed to be pushed hard by something, and opened his eyes in shock .

Looking at it, it was also a dimly lit room, but it was different from the cold one in the dream. The room now was more spacious, it was a living room, and a small warm light was turned on in his direction in the corner.

He was covered with a tight thin blanket, and beside his ears were familiar whispers.

The air is filled with warm breath, gently covering the scene just now.

Xu Hanlai was the first to notice that Lin Xi had woken up. He had been keeping an eye on the direction of the living room, so he caught a glimpse of the child's subtle movements from the corner of his eye, and turned his eyes away immediately.

The other two also followed his gaze and looked back, seeing Lin Xi sitting up, Liu Hao put down the melon seeds in his hand, and his restrained whisper became clear: "Oh my god, Xiao Linzi, you finally woke up! My God, you slept for almost seven hours, you know, you were so scared that brother Hao returned the doll clothes like he was going to the market."

Guo Yu answered: "That's right, Lin Xi, and you still have a rash on your body, and you want to scratch it all the time when you fall asleep. Although you have been prescribed medicine, you should hurry up and see if there is any discomfort on your body."

Liu Hao said again: "Yes, yes, Xiao Linzi, your rash is scary, take a look quickly."

The two asked one question after another, but Lin Xi in the living room didn't answer.Since he sat up, his head has been hanging slightly, as if he didn't hear other people's voices.

Xu Hanlai frowned slightly: "Lin Xi?"

Lin Xi raised his head as if waking up from a dream, and replied, "... huh?"

His sleepy eyes are still dazed, his clothes are messy, revealing the skin from the neck down to the collarbone, the redness has faded a lot compared to before, Xu Hanlai is secretly relieved, but Liu Hao is not so meticulous, and licked again He took a melon seed and said loudly: "We let you take a quick look at your body. I just got a rash, which is as red as a monkey's butt. Is it still itchy now? Is there any other discomfort? "

Lin Xi blinked his dry eyes, then heard their question clearly, touched his neck hesitantly and said, "It doesn't itch anymore."

There's nothing uncomfortable about it, it's just that I may have slept for a long time and my body is a little weak, but it doesn't matter.

"Really? That's why you, Senior Xu, are really good. I saw the red rash so startled that I have no idea. He is the only one who knows what medicine to buy right away, and he is so effective." Liu Hao said as he sat back. On the stool, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But today is really risky. Fortunately, Xiao Linzi is fine now. Otherwise, this stall is not interesting at all. Losing a general is too bad, too bad... "

Liu Hao has always been talkative, and later he gave a lot of testimonials, but Lin Xi in the living room didn't respond the whole time.He seemed to be thinking about something, and after answering the two sentences just now, his gaze became erratic again.

This time even Guo Yu noticed that something was wrong with him, and shouted, "Lin Xi? What's wrong with you?"

When he finished speaking, Liu Hao also stopped, looked at Guo Yu, and then at Lin Xi curiously. The whole living room was silent for a moment.

Only then did Lin Xi shake his head slowly: "It's okay."

Then he looked up and saw that they were all worried, and then added hesitantly: "I just had a dream."

Guo Yu: "Dream?"

Xu Hanlai from the innermost side of the kitchen: "What dream?"

"...I don't know." Lin Xi raised his head, his eyes were a little confused: "That's the strange thing, I clearly felt that I remembered it just now, but it didn't take long before I forgot it all."

It would be fine if it was an ordinary dream, but Lin Xi always felt that this dream was quite important.

...Why can't I remember it.

"Hey, why do I think it's normal to forget this dream after finishing it? Xiao Linzi, listen to my brother's advice. Those dreams are all fake. They are not as real as reality. Filling your stomach is more important. So Come, come, hurry up, Brother Hao will give you hot dishes, you can eat some quickly, ah, I didn’t eat lunch, I didn’t eat dinner, it’s not good if I don’t get tired and itchy but starve.” After Liu Hao finished speaking, he immediately took the food left for Lin Xi on the table and ran to the microwave oven with a bang.

"That's right, Lin Xi, I also often have dreams that I can't remember, let's forget about it, it's just a dream, it's not a big deal, food is important." Guo Yu answered.

This is indeed the truth, and Lin Xi is indeed hungry.

Not long after he smelled the aroma of hot vegetables coming from the microwave oven, he relieved himself and looked up into the kitchen with a smile, saying, "Okay, come here."

So the matter of the dream was lightly put aside in the back of his mind.

Lin Xi also ate Huaiyang cuisine, but it was not the noon portion, Xu Han came to buy new ones in the afternoon to watch the time.I thought it was time for Lin Xi to wake up, but I didn't expect that he could sleep past seven o'clock in one night, and he had to go into the microwave even for this.

The taste of take-out is worse than that of dine-in, and after the cold and hot, the taste is even worse.But Lin Xi was really hungry and didn't care about these things at all. It tasted delicious and fast.

After he woke up, Xu Hanlai turned on all the lights in the living room. When the whole hall was lit up, Lin Xi discovered that there was a vocabulary book in front of the dining table where Liu Hao was sitting, and the "whispering" he heard when he just woke up The sound" is actually the sound of Liu Hao reciting words.

"Linzi, let me tell you, Xiao Guozi is really too much, aren't we thinking of giving you a rest, and just helping you box the biscuits you baked yesterday? Boxing is already tiring! Xiao Guozi If you insist on making me pretend to recite words at the same time, do you think he is deceiving people too much?"

Lin Xi was eating, and Liu Hao was sitting on the dining chair next to him, complaining to him while packing boxes with gloves on.

"I don't have it, senior." Before Lin Xi could speak, Guo Yu next to him continued, "And it's not tiring to pack the box, isn't it just for show? Taking a step back, most of it is also me. Pretending."

Immediately afterwards, he said somewhat helplessly: "It's you, senior. It's okay to pretend that you don't have much, but it's been a total of four hours since just now, and you haven't memorized even a list of words."

"Hey?" Liu Hao raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Guozi, you are wrong to say that. Didn't the teacher teach us not to be half-hearted? I am trying to pack boxes, and you still ask me to recite words. It was you No, then it’s only natural that I haven’t memorized a few of them.”

Guo Yu: "Then I'll do the rest, senior, you just concentrate on memorizing vocabulary?"

Liu Hao turned his head: "I don't."

Guo Yu: "..."

Lin Xi swallowed a mouthful of beef brisket and said cheerfully, "Brother Hao is just not interested in studying."

"Yes! That's right!" Liu Hao turned his head immediately: "Xiao Linzi, what you said hit my heart. Really Xiao Guozi, you should give up too. I really don't care about homework or anything. Our head teacher advises I haven’t been persuaded for two years, and I feel that grades are useless in my heart.”

"Quite proud." Xu Hanlai replied lukewarmly.

"No, brother, don't say that about me." Liu Hao heard his subtext, closed a new box of biscuits, and then said with his fingers: "The so-called people have their own ambitions, I am more interested in money. Look, if we set up a stall today, the profit will be about 100 yuan in the afternoon? The four of us will share, and Xiao Linzi will get a little more for the hardest work. The rest of us can also have [-] yuan, which is [-] yuan a month. , [-], brother, we only work for half a day, and we get [-] a month. What is the concept? Many college students just come out with this income? I think that if I start working from now, when I finish college, I will Maybe they are all small bosses, so what’s the point of studying? What’s the point of going to university? Isn’t this a very simple truth.”

His words fell to the ground, and before Xu Hanlai had time to answer, Guo Yu couldn't bear it anymore.

What Liu Hao said was completely contrary to his thoughts and beliefs all the time. He retorted subconsciously: "Of course it is useful to enter the university. You should do things at any age. Senior, your idea is wrong. You should study peacefully at the age of school. Yes, setting up a stall can be used as a summer vacation experience, but at our age, we shouldn’t think about it as a main job, learning can change life, so many people regard it as a heavy responsibility, and it must be reasonable to regard the college entrance examination as a watershed.”

"Tsk, look, Xiao Guozi and I can't talk about going together. You want to study and I want to make money. You think that after studying hard, you can go to university and find a job. I think if you start doing business now, you won't be able to do it later. It’s good to make the business bigger, so everyone has their own aspirations.” Liu Hao shrugged, and raised his eyebrows at Lin Xi: “Xiao Linzi, don’t you think so?”

Lin Xi glanced at him, smiled and said, "Yes, it makes sense."

Guo Yu frowned, and said in disapproval, "Lin Xi."

Lin Xi shook his head, and said calmly, "But Brother Hao, you also have to think about it. Life is so long, and the time to make money is actually the majority. On the contrary, the time on campus is not many years. You can take it now You can think about doing business during class time, and you can get tired and tired after doing business, but you will never be able to go back to school, especially our current high school."

Regretting that time cannot be turned back is a regret that Lin Xi has been harboring in his heart for many years after running a favorite coffee shop, so this sentence is truly heartfelt.

"Is it still tiring to do business?" Liu Hao tilted his head, not understanding: "When I think that I can make so much profit in half a day, I feel that I will never be tired."

"There is no way to keep rising, there will definitely be bumps." Lin Xi said happily: "Besides everyone has his own ambition, isn't there a saying called thick accumulation and thin growth? Since Brother Hao, you are so interested in business, how about Think of the learning process as an investment. The more you invest, the more likely you will get better and longer-term returns, right? Brother, you are so smart. I think you can do better than selling biscuits after you graduate from college. business."

Lin Xi spoke softly, but Liu Hao listened to it for a while, but after careful consideration, what he said was still: "But I still prefer to make money. I am very happy when I see today's profit. I can make a hundred dollars in the morning." , how nice it is."

Guo Yu frowned, looking like he couldn't help but want to say something, Liu Hao caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and said immediately.

"Hey, don't, don't, don't read, I'm just expressing my own thoughts, and you don't have to be so strict that I seem to be dropping out of school every minute. I think selling biscuits is good, but the premise is that there are biscuits. Sell ​​it, right? Xiao Linzi will definitely not do it when school starts, so I have to go to school even if I have ideas, and I can’t drag Xiao Linzi to set up a stall outside with me, how inappropriate.”

Then, seeing Guo Yu's solemn face, he simply pushed the biscuit box in his hand towards him: "Go, go, don't make a sad face, just do as you say, you pack the biscuits and I will recite the vocabulary, okay? "

Guo Yu frowned, and before he could respond with satisfaction, Liu Hao continued: "But before memorizing the vocabulary, I have to take a shower first."

Guo Yu: "Senior!"

"Goodbye." Liu Hao put down the biscuit box and vocabulary book neatly, turned around and left.

Guo Yu's eyes widened, Lin Xi looked at Liu Hao's back, and at the senior beside him, but said nothing.

The young man's health is indeed good. After Lin Xi slept and ate well, most of the fatigue of the morning was gone like this.

Now that he was rested, he immediately went into the kitchen to start his own work – making biscuits.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to make the biscuits one day in advance, so even if he slept in such an afternoon, it would not delay the next day's sales, but it would affect the progress to some extent, so what should be hurry up should be hurry up.

Liu Hao couldn't hold back Guo Yu. After taking a shower, he went to the sofa to recite words. After packing the box, Guo Yu also went to take a bath to relax. So only Xu Hanlai and Lin Xi were left in the kitchen. .

Lin Xi's original intention was to let the seniors also rest. After resting for so long, he can handle the rest of the work by himself.But he only started halfway through the words, and he swallowed it back under Xu Hanlai's flat, "You're being polite to me again?"

"...No, no." Lin Xi recalled that the stalemate with the senior in the morning had not yet passed, and said with a blunt smile: "Of course it would be best if you could help me, senior. I can do this by myself, and I can't finish it."

This statement is of course false. Lin Xi had to complete a lot of work alone when he first started his favorite coffee, so he already had his own set of time-saving methods for these things. The sales volume of a small stall is not a problem at all.

But he really didn't dare to make the senior unhappy anymore, so seeing that he was unhappy, he had to make up such a reason, and then assigned him a little bit of biscuit-making work.

Strange to say, it is easy for two people without a tacit understanding to "fight" in the kitchen, but Lin Xi and Xu Hanlai never once, they cooperate very well, sometimes what Lin Xi wants, the senior can even say it without him asking. can be delivered to him.

This feeling is really comfortable, and with the warm light in the kitchen, it scratches at the tip of Lin Xi's heart like a small claw, urging him to heal the little friction before.

"...Senior." Holding the dough in his hand, Lin Xi thought about it, but still took the initiative to call out.

Xu Hanlai on the side was adjusting the amount of water in the flour according to his requirements, looking down at the measuring cup in his hand, and answered in a flat voice: "Huh?"

"I've thought about your question before, but I don't think I'm being polite. You and Brother Hao have treated me so well, so I just want to do everything I can, and then I'll do it this way...to be nice to you." Lin Xi Considering the sentence, he said.

He said this carefully, and even brought Liu Hao along, for fear that his small thoughts would be revealed inadvertently, and at the same time, he kept observing Xu Hanlai next to him from the corner of his eye.

After his voice fell to the ground, the senior didn't answer directly.

He was still adjusting the water in the measuring cup, and then slowly poured the adjusted amount of water into the flour dough as required, before he smiled and said unhurriedly, "Isn't that just being polite?"

During this period, he didn't turn his head to look at Lin Xi.

The latter's little heart was unconsciously a little tense, and even the smooth movements in his hands slowed down.Lin Xi carefully thought about the senior's reaction today, and said hesitantly, "...Does the senior think this is not good?"

His way of being kind to people has always been like this. Lin Xi didn't know that this could also be defined as being polite, but it was really meaningless to dwell on such a word all the time.He thought, if the senior really thinks it's not good for him to do so, then he just needs to get rid of it.

Time was hard won, and he was unwilling to have any conflicts with him.

"Ah, Sis, etc.! Hey! Why does this word look so familiar!" Liu Hao's broken pronunciation came from the sofa. In comparison, the kitchen under the warm light was a bit too quiet.

Lin Xi waited for a long time before Xu Han said softly, "Yes."

He didn't think much about it, and immediately followed suit: "Then I'll change it."

The child's words were really well-behaved, coupled with the docile tone, even the hardest heart would soften after hearing it, not to mention that Lin Xi's actions were not considered a major problem in the first place.

At least Guo Yu and Liu Hao didn't have any special reaction.

The communication between people is a process of mutual tolerance of each other's personality habits, so when it comes to the real calculations, it is Xu Han who has come to care about it.Looking at Lin Xi's reaction now, he originally wanted the child to not have to do this.

But when he turned his head and saw Lin Xi's expression of swearing that the four horses were hard to chase, and those eyes that only saw him like a small animal under the light, he couldn't help itching, and the words on his lips became: "real?"

Lin Xi didn't think he was bothering, but felt that he had finally found a solution, and nodded vigorously with his eyes open: "Yes."

Xu Han was happy, squinted his eyes, and half-jokingly said after a while: "Okay, let me see if you change it."
