senior [rebirth]

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. After Guo Yu left, there was another two days of heavy rain all over the city.

The aging of pipeline projects has caused water to accumulate everywhere in the city, making it difficult for carts to work normally, and the risk factor of setting up stalls has skyrocketed.

Seeing this, Lin Xi said nothing and was unwilling to go out again.

Therefore, the biscuits that are about to expire should be eaten or thrown away.

When making this decision, Lin Xi originally thought that he would be strongly opposed or obstructed by Liu Hao. After all, he cherished the few extra-curricular work time left, and had just experienced Guo Yu's departure. I'm afraid it will be more sensitive about the stall, just like the reaction when the basketball game was forced to be interrupted last time.

But unexpectedly Liu Hao was unusually quiet this time.

He didn't express any opinions on Lin Xi's decision, and just nestled quietly on the sofa at Xu Hanlai's house every day.

Without Guo Yu's supervision, he stopped reading.Most of the time, he is either playing games or sleeping, and occasionally when Lin Xi looks back, he can still see him quietly staring at the rain outside the window.

In short, the situation is very abnormal.

Lin Xi sensed that something was wrong with him, and felt a little worried.But when Guo Yu sent a message to ask about their situation, he still didn't tell the other party about Liu Hao.Occasionally, during the breaks between homework assignments, he deliberately went to talk to Liu Hao, and even told him in advance of his plans that he was reluctant to talk about because he hadn't landed yet, just to make him happier.

But even so, Liu Hao's interest didn't seem much higher, and he was still uncharacteristically quiet.

For this reason, Lin Xi can be said to be very distressed.

When he decided not to go out of the stall because of the rain, he was quite happy in his heart.

Because Lin Xi happened to review a particularly difficult physics knowledge point in the past few days, and usually had limited time at night, so he could only eat some of these knowledge points each time before going to sleep, and he couldn't thoroughly study them all at once.

It felt like one card after another, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Coupled with Guo Yu's departure, I am afraid that I will be busier than before, and the time for studying will only become less and less.

Therefore, Lin Xi's original idea was to take advantage of the heavy rain to stay at home all day long, and to gnaw down that piece of knowledge by analogy, so that he would no longer have to go to bed halfway through writing. I can rest assured.

However, things backfired, and now he was always worried about Liu Hao. The error rate in the exercise book was higher than before, and the problem was even more difficult.

It's just a dilemma.

However, the seniors went out frequently these two days, saying that they had to deal with something, and they were basically absent during the day, and they didn't come back until very late when they were about to fall asleep.When he came back, he would either read a book or type on the computer. Lin Xi couldn't speak a few words with him until he went to bed.

Worried that the senior was too tired to deal with other things, thinking about it, Lin Xi didn't tell him about Liu Hao in the limited time, but consciously took this matter under his own responsibility.

... However, the result of being in charge for a few days is that Liu Hao's mood has not been good, and the progress of his homework has not progressed for a long time.

It makes me want to pull out my hair.

It was already the afternoon of the third day, and it was still pouring rain outside the window.

Lin Xi stared blankly at the sticky notes in his exercise book that symbolized "difficulties" and "do not understand", and at Liu Hao on the sofa who was not even interested in the fried chicken with egg yolk potato chips that he made at noon. , Feel the air without the senior again, and feel like a doraemon that has completely run out of power in an instant, with rattling in the head.

"Brother Hao, are egg yolk chicken wings delicious?" Lin Xi held his pen, looked at the question, lowered his eyes, and struggled weakly for the last time.

Liu Hao remained motionless on the sofa, and said after a long time, "It's delicious."

But even though it was lunch, he, who always liked fried chicken, didn't even eat half of it.

Lin Xi sighed, thought for a while and suggested, "How about playing games? I can play with you for a while."

After a while, Liu Hao said, "No need, Xiao Linzi, you just do the questions."

Lin Xi: "..."

How can this go on.

In the past few days, he has actually thought about whether Liu Hao is so sensitive to separation and wants to make money so much. Is there any deep-seated reason for this that is different from the whim of a teenager.Lin Xi thought of a lot, but it is useless to rely on his own random guesses. He can only get answers by asking the person concerned, and then it is possible to really improve his mood.

But Lin Xi didn't know how to ask.

Because he knew the reason why he suddenly wanted to set up a stall to make money, and imagined that if it was his mentality in high school, if someone asked him and the answer involved his family, Lin Xi guessed that he would definitely have a serious rebellious mentality. .

The more you think, the more you can't ask.

In his previous life, he had happy memories with many juniors and juniors, but he seldom took the initiative to enlighten others, and he himself was also a very difficult person to open up.

Liu Hao slumped on the sofa and did not speak, and Lin Xi also drew circles in his homework all afternoon wondering.

During the period, only three questions were written in total, and the progress was slow as expected.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Xi, who realized that he had almost wasted another day, had a headache looking at his homework.

And Xu Hanlai came home around this time.

He had returned almost late at night for the first two days, so that when Lin Xi saw him come back at this point, he suddenly had a feeling that he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Staying together for a whole summer vacation, it would be difficult to notice some small changes, and the senior went out frequently these two days, Lin Xi found that his hair seemed to grow long.

Just a little.

In the past, the sideburns were almost at the same level as the ears, and probably only exceeded a little, but now they almost reach the ears, and fall down when the head is lowered.

Xu Hanlai had the chill of a rainy night on his body. It was raining heavily outside, and the ends of his hair were a little clammy.As soon as he came out of the entrance, he saw a child in clean and loose pajamas sitting under the warm light in the kitchen, looking at him with round eyes.

Xu Hanlai always had no resistance to his animal-like eyes. When he entered the door, his cold expression softened a lot. Seeing the child not moving his eyes for a long time, he smiled and said, "Miss me?"

Lin Xi's expression tightened immediately, and he moved the swivel chair under his butt around, turned his back to him, and said vaguely: "No."

After such a long time, he still didn't dare to take such a similar joke from the senior.

but……

While feeling uncomfortable, Lin Xi couldn't help turning his head to look at Liu Hao who was still very quiet on the sofa.

However, if it was normal, Liu Hao would definitely jump up to pick up the senior's topic, say "I think" carelessly, and then chatter about other things.

But not today.

It's been three days and the mood hasn't improved yet?

Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help looking at the homework and sighing.

It was raining too much outside, and Xu Hanlai's shoulders were mostly wet, so he went to the bathroom after entering the door, and came out half an hour later, already changed into his usual pajamas.Her hair was also obviously washed, much drier than when she came in.

Sitting in the kitchen, Lin Xi looked up at him, and found that the senior's hair was really long.

The bangs in the front almost cover the eyes, faintly connecting the pure black hair color and eye color, forming a strong contrast with the fair skin color, giving people a different visual experience from before.

After Lin Xi was reborn, he always felt that if the senior didn't smile often and talk kindly, his facial features should be a relatively cold type. If coupled with the same cold aura, although it would make people afraid to approach , but absolutely fine for pure appreciation.

Sometimes Lin Xi even feels that this kind of breath is more in line with him.

But now the slightly longer hair just slightly covered some of the gentleness brought by his eyes, which made his aura much cooler.

Lin Xi couldn't help swallowing as he watched, and didn't look away hastily until Xu Han walked to the kitchen.

For some reason, the tiredness on his body seemed to have disappeared by half.

"Did I come back too late these days?" Xu Han came into the kitchen to boil water first, then washed a cup and began to pour milk. He poured the milk very slowly, with a smile on his lips, without looking at Lin Xi. , Said: "You don't seem to see enough of me."

Peeping was discovered, but it wasn't the first time. Lin Xi bit the bullet and said: "...No, I just found out that senior, your hair seems a little long."

Xu Han had a meal, and just finished pouring out a cup of pure milk. He moved the milk cup to Lin Xi, and then looked up: "Really? I didn't even notice."

Lin Xi is used to drinking a glass of milk almost every morning and evening when he comes to the senior's house, but today is a bit special, the senior poured it himself.

So he took it obediently, thinking that he didn't seem to get along much in the past three days, he swayed his legs under the chair, and said, "Maybe you've been too busy recently."

Xu Hanlai was noncommittal: "I'll cut it another day."

Lin Xi nodded, thinking that he had fooled himself, he quickly lowered his head and took a sip of his milk to suppress his shock.

But he never thought that Xu Hanlai would tilt his head to look at him, and would twitch his lips and say on a whim, "Do you think it looks better if it's longer or shorter?"

Lin Xi: "..."

He suddenly raised his head from the milk cup, and there was a white mustache around his lips, he was stunned for a long time before he licked it off in a daze, and then hesitantly said: "I think they all look pretty."

He likes them all.

Lin Xi thought dizzily, Xu Han in front of him took a look at his erratic appearance, a little amused, and didn't continue to tease him.

Just when the water in it boiled, Xu Hanlai turned his head and said, "I didn't lick the right side clean."

Lin Xi paused, and quickly stuck out the tip of her tongue to rub it.

The milk that came back was mellow and delicious. He looked at the back of the senior in the kitchen, thought for a while, and then looked back at Liu Hao on the sofa.

He has racked his brains for the past two days, and there is really no way.At this moment, the senior just returned early, so he wondered if he could tell Liu Hao's situation, and then the two of them figured out a solution together.

But Xu Hanlai's house was an open kitchen, and the parties were lying where they could see it with naked eyes. It was impossible for Lin Xi to yell directly at the seniors inside, so he could only sit and wait.

However, after waiting for a long time, the senior didn't pour the water. Lin Xi tilted his head and found that he was grinding coffee beans.

Recently, after he comes home late, he often goes into the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee.

So do you want to go to the study alone today?

Lin Xi thought melancholy, and told the senior about Liu Hao's situation after he finished making coffee.For the past three days, apart from talking with Liu Hao, Lin Xi has changed his ways to make delicious food for him every day. Unfortunately, he can't eat a few bites every day, so he just put it as it is until the next morning. How can it go on like this? ?

Xu Hanlai originally seemed to be planning to go straight into the study like a few days ago, but now because of Lin Xi's words, he caught a glimpse of the homework on his desk, raised his eyebrows while holding a coffee cup, and pulled a stool casually to sit on Lin Xi's desk. By his side, after he finished speaking, he shook his head slightly: "Don't worry about him."

"what?"

"When it rains, he tends to be in a bad mood, but he will adjust himself, so there is no need to interfere too much."

Lin Xi let out another ah, and it took a long time to understand, and replied: "...Oh."

Then he couldn't help but cast a glance in Liu Hao's direction. He stopped staring at the outside now, and started playing with a key he found from nowhere.

Lin Xi was looking at Liu Hao, while Xu Hanlai was looking down at Lin Xi's homework.

He looked at it, seemed a little surprised, and seemed a little funny. After a while, he reached out and tapped on the exercise book and said, "Can't do it?"

Lin Xi's eyes were pulled back by his actions, he looked down at his homework, and then said in a daze, "Ah, yes."

I really don’t know how to do it. I posted a post-it note to plan that if I still can’t analyze it later, I will ask the teacher or Guo Yu when school starts.

In this day and age, the online search function is not very powerful. Lin Xi also tried to ask Liu Hao when looking for topics before, but the latter didn’t know how to do it, so Lin Xi didn’t want to ask anyone else.

Leaving aside the few days of heavy rain where the senior hardly saw anyone all day long, let’s say that his scores in general subjects during this period were basically around [-], which may be worse than Liu Hao in terms of theory.

I don't know how his grades improved by leaps and bounds.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help asking: "Senior, if you encounter something you don't understand, how would you learn it?"

To be able to reach the score to go to Capital University so quickly, Lin Xi guessed that the senior should have a set of very powerful learning methods. Even if the grades have not started to change now, there may be a prototype in his mind, otherwise it is unlikely that he will be so good in the third year of high school. To achieve such a rapid improvement in a short period of time.

Xu Hanlai glanced at him, but didn't respond, took the child's practice book, flipped through it casually and said, "Are all the questions about variable speed exercises?"

Lin Xi hummed.

Xu Hanlai only saw one page just now, and now he hastily read through the page numbers on which he posted post-it notes, and he is even happier: "I didn't listen well in class, I don't know such basics, why choose rationale?"

Lin Xi: "..."

His body flushed from his face to his neck.

It was also at this time that Lin Xi looked at his messy practice book and realized that his devastated rate of wrong questions was actually the same as being seen by his sweetheart in front of his seniors.

... very embarrassing.

After reacting, Lin Xi stretched out his hand stiffly, gently tugged at the paper, trying to pull the practice book back, and said with a blushing face, "I like it."

Xu Hanlai pressed his hand away, and said in a light voice, "Do you like science?"

Lin Xi's voice was as soft as a mosquito: "...um."

Xu Hanlai barely heard it, looked up at him from the exercise book, then smiled, and didn't continue to click on him, just took the pen on the table, found a piece of manuscript paper, and wrote the formula on it.

His handwriting is beautiful, different from Lin Xi's more rounded writing style, Xu Hanlai's writing style has a sharp edge, and the stroke is very wonderful, sharp but not too forceful, too aggressive, and even a little loose when he writes.

Like his people, full of contradictions.

"Senior, you know how to write." Seeing him brushing off questions while writing formulas, Lin Xi poked his head quietly and said in a low voice.

Although it is embarrassing, if he can solve the problem and let him catch up with the progress earlier, he is very willing to put aside the little emotion of embarrassment for the time being.

After all, he is no longer the really sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid with an extremely thin skin.

He actually has 27, but the science is really bad.

"What do you think?" Xu Hanlai ticked off two more questions: "The questions drawn with the same symbol are the most basic ones, just change the soup but not the medicine, just follow the corresponding formula and set aside the rest. , do the simple ones first.”

Lin Xi blinked and found that the senior was reading the questions really fast. He seemed to be able to quickly classify the questions with just a glance.

It seems that I am too familiar with the topics in this exercise book.

Lin Xi was surprised by this in his heart, when he saw the senior finished writing the last line of formula, he suddenly shook the pen lightly, then turned his head and looked at him with those beautiful and cold peach blossom eyes.

After a while, he bent slightly, and said in a very gentle voice.

"Also, Kobayashi."

"I don't have any knowledge points that I don't understand."
