senior [rebirth]
Chapter 81
Lin Xi stood at the corner of the street hesitating for a moment, shook his head, didn't go, and followed the senior back home.
After returning home, he looked the same as usual, but when he was lying on the small bed at night, he still couldn't help but recall everything that happened today.
After the letter that made it clear to Lin Meiling was written, for Lin Xi, it was equivalent to erecting a wall between him and the Lin family.
Perhaps the wall has always existed, but the letter made it visible, but anyway, after that letter, Lin Xi had no intention of contacting her family—especially Lin Meiling for a long time. .
Even after Li Rende kept sending messages asking him where he lived, whether he wanted to go home, and how he was doing outside, Lin Xi never changed his mind.
It was also the occurrence of this incident that made Lin Xi's brain, which could not help but immerse himself in it because life was too real, become sober again after returning here.Thus, he strongly realized that he came back here from the future, and also remembered the goals he set for himself immediately after returning here.
Change the fate of seniors.
In the next half of the summer vacation, I kept asking the seniors about the situation and made more efforts in learning. This is also the result.
Lin Xi always believed that he had returned to the 27-year-old age on the 16-year-old lifeline, and in order to avoid the tragedy that happened to the 28-year-old Xu Hanlai on the same line, he had to stay with his senior all the time and try his best to avoid danger for him.
But the senior told him tonight that he planned to study astronomy, and this idea would not change.
After hearing this, Lin Xi was in a trance for a moment.
He never casually doubted what the senior said, so when Xu Han came to express it so seriously, Lin Xi would think about it.
Looking back, it has been almost five months since he returned to this era, and he has never left, and there seems to be no sign of leaving.Sometimes he wonders if he will never leave, but the memory of his beloved coffee in the last life reminds him all the time that no matter how real this place is, he cannot take it lightly, because he really does not belong to Lin Xi of this period. .
No one can explain what happened to him. Perhaps cosmology and space conjectures can make certain speculations about his current situation, but it is only speculation after all, and it is completely different from what actually happened to people.
And in the absence of precedent, it is impossible for someone to tell Lin Xi exactly what is going on, how long he can stay in this era, and the relationship between the life line of the favorite and the current one. What, can he change the senior's future?
Lin Xi couldn't even ask and complain casually.
Although it was a bit vague, he had memories of some things deep in his heart, for example, he remembered something one time, but soon forgot it due to sleepiness.
Even if the brain sometimes can't remember clearly, it will stop him through the body because of the implanted instinct.
As for this point, Lin Xi had already thought about it. He didn't have to think about it or ask questions, as long as he could stay here, stay with the senior.
But when Xu Hanlai told him with certainty today that he would definitely learn astronomy, Lin Xi's inner doubts came out again uncontrollably.
The master bedroom of the senior's house has floor-to-ceiling windows, and Lin Xi's small bed is placed between the floor-to-ceiling windows and the big bed.
At some point, Lin Xi quietly moved to the floor-to-ceiling window, gently pushed aside a corner of the thick curtain, and looked out through another layer of tulle curtain.
After ten o'clock, lights can still be seen all over the city. There are buildings, street lights, and stars in the sky.Although all this is a bit blurred under the tulle, it is real.
Lin Xi leaned in that small corner and looked out, his brown eyes were somewhat confused.
He once thought that maybe he was able to return to the age of 16 because of his regret for what happened to his seniors, but then he thought about it, there are so many people with obsessions in the world, if obsessions can change time and space, everything may have been messed up long ago .
So what the hell is going on here?Why on earth would he come back here?
And whether he can only come back for a period of time, and must race against time to change the fate of the senior and protect him, or in fact, from the moment he came back, everything has been different from before?
Thinking about Lin Meiling's different pregnancy in this life from the previous life, Lin Xi once thought that it was the butterfly effect caused by her return here, but thinking about it further, what about the relationship between the senior and Liu Hao?
Even before he returned to this era, changes had already taken place.
…So what he came to was not the 27-year-old period on the 16-year-old life line at all, but a new life line, which may not be all about the seniors, but also a new beginning for himself?
Lin Xi lay sideways on the small bed, the light in front of his eyes and the environment under the black light behind him were very real, as if only he himself who was thinking and questioning repeatedly was not real and was isolated in it.
He couldn't give up thinking, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't determine a correct answer.In the end, all those questions with question marks just drifted through his mind without causing any waves or leaving too deep traces.
Even at the end, Lin Xi was sleepy again.
Eyes closed, the hand that lifted the curtain slowly lowered, the brain that was constantly making thoughts became quiet, and finally merged with the surrounding environment and fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Hanlai was lying on the big soft bed behind him, watching Lin Xi in the dark.He couldn't hear Lin Xi's thinking, but he could see him lift the curtain and look out, and he could remember Lin Xi's series of reactions since he knew that he was going to be admitted to the Department of Astronomy of Nancheng University.
A moment after Lin Xi put down his hands, Xu Hanlai suddenly turned over and sat up from the side of the bed, then left the bedroom lightly.
Turn around and enter the study room, turn on the light, close the door, and sit at the computer desk.
At that time, it was close to eleven o'clock in the night, long after their usual rest time.Xu Hanlai pushed away the science exercise books that he had gradually piled up on the table to help Lin Xi with his homework, took out a notebook in the drawer, spread it out, and put on his glasses.
The light from the desk lamp shone on his golden mirror frame, reflecting a quiet light under the black hair.
While looking at it, he turned on the computer casually.
After the power-on password and the document password, a huge atlas appeared on the screen. With the notebook in his hand, he recorded and sorted out all his dreams and conjectures related to space in detail. s mail.
Unlike Lin Xi, he can remember all his dreams and speculations in detail, and he won't feel any discomfort when he thinks about it again.
I saw Xu Hanlai sitting on the chair, with his left leg casually erected in front of him, his straight back slightly bent sideways, and his downcast eyes looking down at the document bit by bit.He tapped on the keyboard occasionally to make up something, but it didn't move much, so he wasn't revising his record, but reading it carefully, making sure of something.
The document was dragged to the end, Xu Hanlai leaned his back completely on the back of the chair, thought for a moment, and pulled out a book from the exercise book on the desktop.
Familiar cover, familiar font.
–– "Suta's Fantastic Drifting".
Once again he turned the book from the first page to the last.
The sky was getting darker, and the clouds and mist outside the window covered the stars and the moon. Xu Hanlai lowered his eyes and flipped through the book. There was little emotion in the pure black eyes reflected by the metal light, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
After a long time, the wind blew and the clouds moved, and the sky gradually became brighter.
On the next Saturday, the seniors do not have to attend class.
...But Lin Xi didn't expect that he would stay in bed.
In Lin Xi's impression, Xu Hanlai's schedule is definitely one of the most regular among them. He has no bad habits like Liu Hao, or even Guo Yu, who occasionally commits --- going to bed late, and most of the time he is younger than Lin Xi. Nearly [-] "old guys" must be disciplined.
Sometimes when Lin Xi just woke up, the senior would already be in the kitchen with hot water telling him that it was early.
In terms of self-discipline, it can be said to be full marks.
Except today.
Until nine o'clock, Xu Hanlai had no intention of getting up.
After waking up and having breakfast, Lin Xi sat on the sofa and waited for a long time. He wanted to ask the senior about his weekend arrangements at home, as he did last week, but he didn't want to wait for the senior at all.
Instead, he sat by himself and unconsciously picked up the book that the senior put on the coffee table yesterday.
Lin Xi has read this book before. It is a historical novel written about Li Si, but it is not Lin Xi’s favorite style. Reading is a refreshing experience.
In the past, the historical records came first, and this novel was later, so there was a contrast everywhere. Now both the historical records and this novel have become reading materials from a long time ago. Lin Xi read page by page before slowly remembering that passage because he no longer The history that I often think about and gradually become gray in my mind.
Although the novel is exaggerated, it successfully makes the story and characters come alive on the page.
Looking at it, Lin Xi even had the idea of reading Li Silie's biography again.
However, when he was very excited, he looked up, and found that this place was not a favorite coffee shop, and the books piled up in the corner by the wall were not his favorite books, but the overly blank wall of the senior's house, and a clock hanging on the wall.
It showed that it was already ten o'clock, and the senior still didn't get up.
Seeing the clock, Lin Xi regained consciousness from the initial trance, put down the book, slipped into the bedroom with some worry, touched the senior's forehead, thought for a while, and made sure he was breathing before walking back into the living room.
It was a sunny day all over the city today, Lin Xi turned his head to look at the book lying quietly on the coffee table, relaxed his shoulders and smiled.
He didn't continue to read, but walked back to the sofa to touch the cover, remembering that in his previous life, Li Rende would occasionally deliberately ask him what book he was reading in order to strike up a conversation with him.
At that time, Lin Xi had very little patience with his family, and he was unwilling to talk to Li Rende more. Occasionally, Li Rende would secretly ask Lin Meiling as if he had found a treasure.Lin Meiling didn't like to talk to him about these things either. Sometimes she answered, and sometimes she asked Li Rende to check the information by herself.
Lin Xi didn't know how Li Rende handled it, anyway, he could always bring up historical topics that Lin Xi found interesting when they met for the second time.
After a long time, knowing his hard work behind the scenes, Lin Xi gradually became patient with him in his last life.
But time waits for no one.
So when he first came back here, Lin Xi also thought about treating Li Rende well, at least making him live a better life than his previous life.
But because of Lin Meiling a while ago, Lin Xi, who was so focused on the senior, almost forgot about it.
Recalling the new beginning that flashed in his mind last night, and Li Rende he saw on the street, Lin Xi sat on the sofa with his shoulders propped up and thought for a while, and finally left a note in a conspicuous place at home, turned and went out.
Without thinking about it, Li Rende must be at home recently. If he wants to see Li Rende, he just needs to go home.
But in this way, it is inevitable to run into Lin Meiling.
The reason why Lin Xi wrote that letter to Lin Meiling at the beginning was because he knew that he and Lin Meiling were each other's Pandora's boxes.In the past, she could barely sustain it, but now that Lin Meiling is pregnant, the changes in estrogen will only make her mental state worse than before.
So it's good for both of them not to see each other. Lin Xi doesn't need to face the fact that he was abandoned by his biological mother repeatedly, and Lin Meiling can let her emotions recuperate.
So Lin Xi stood downstairs and thought about it for a long time, but decided not to break the status quo between him and Lin Meiling.
He used the money he earned during the summer vacation to go to the mall to buy something, and when he was about to get home, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Li Rende.As he was walking, when he arrived at the fruit shop at the entrance of the community, Lin Xi heard something, turned sideways, and quickly hid himself. After a while, he turned his head to look outside.
What he just heard was Lin Meiling's voice.
He spoke the full city dialect and was asking the owner of the fruit stand if the grapes could be cheaper.
The Mancheng dialect is soft and mellow, and Lin Meiling has a nice voice. When she was young, she wore a cheongsam and spoke the Mancheng dialect gently and softly. Everyone talked about it. After ten years, she didn’t say much, but today Lin Xi heard it.
I saw Lin Meiling standing by the fruit stand, wearing a light yellow dress and a pair of flat shoes.The lower abdomen looks the same as before, but judging from the state of Lin Meiling talking to the fruit stand owner with a gentle smile, she should be in good condition recently, and the child's condition should also be good.
I just don't know why she was alone at the fruit stand.
According to Lin Xi's understanding of Li Rende, the latter should not be very good at letting go.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, when Lin Meiling was walking back with the grapes, Lin Xi saw Li Rende running out of the community with his shoes on, waving his hands and anxiously calling the word "ancestor" from a distance. .
Lin Xi was amused directly, and when he looked carefully, Lin Meiling's back seemed to be smiling too.
Lin Xi paused, and looked back under the sun.
Their family lived here for a while, and the owner of the fruit stand knew Lin Xi. In order not to be recognized, Lin Xi found a relatively remote corner and sat for a while, taking the time to count when Li Rende and the others arrived home and put away their things. After that, I read the previously edited text message again and sent it out.
It is already eleven o'clock in the morning, and one of the characteristics of such an old residential area is that at this time, every household will waft out the smell of food.The aroma of this kind of home-made food cannot be surpassed by any restaurant. Lin Xi clutched his empty stomach, suddenly a little thankful that he didn't choose to go directly downstairs to wait.
It was noon, and there were fewer cars on the road. Lin Xi waited for about 15 minutes before seeing Li Rende who was hurriedly walking this way.
"Uncle!" Lin Xi called out to him.
Li Rende immediately ran over and gestured: "Xixi, are you back?"
Lin Xi looked at his hands, stood up and wrinkled his face: "Uncle, didn't you help me bring out the school uniform?"
It has been two weeks since the seniors started school, and it will start in Lin Xi in a few days.No. [-] middle school had to wear a school uniform when returning to school, so in the text message Lin Xi just edited to Li Rende not only asked him to come down, but also troubled him to bring his own school uniform.
But Li Rende didn't take it. Faced with Lin Xi's question, he spread his hands and didn't make any gestures for a while, only smiled embarrassedly.
"Uncle didn't take it. Uncle wondered...would you come home to live in these few days." After a while, Li Rende gestured.
There was hope in his smile, Lin Xi looked a little soft-hearted, but still said.
"No more Uncle, I told my mother in the letter that I will live on campus in the second and third years of high school, and I should seldom go home after that."
Li Rende paused, looked at Lin Xi for a long time, and waved his fingers forward twice, with reluctance in his eyes: "Well, after that, it will be another four years to go to college, isn't it six or six years?"
Lin Xi couldn't bear to watch, and avoided his eyes: "It won't be that long, I will come back often to see you, the uncle who is in touch with you."
As Lin Xi said, he handed the things he just bought from the mall to Li Rende: "By the way, uncle, I earned some pocket money this summer vacation, and I don't need that much, so I bought some things for you and mother." .These clothes are for you. You haven’t changed new clothes for a long time. These supplements are for your mother. They can nourish your body. Don’t tell her that I bought them, just make them for her to eat.”
Lin Xi knew Li Rende well, and he didn't buy particularly expensive clothes. He focused on comfort and quantity, and couldn't tear off the price tag, so Li Rende would wear them.The supplements are all good. Li Rende took a break from work to take care of Lin Meiling at home. The family's financial situation would be tight, and he might not have the money to buy them, but if Lin Xi bought them and forced them, Li Rende would be willing to give them to Lin Meiling.
After all, Lin Meiling has raised Lin Xi for so many years, Lin Xi will not be reluctant to spend money for her.But Li Rende refused for a moment, and heard Lin Xi say that the supplements and clothes were bought a few days ago and could not be returned, so he accepted it silently as Lin Xi thought.
"And this, uncle." Lin Xi said, and took out a pen and a piece of paper from his pocket: "My application form for living in school in the second year of high school, here, parents need to sign."
Li Rende glanced at the note, but did not move.
Lin Xi comforted him: "Uncle, I plan to study science in the second year of high school, but my grades in science are not very good. Many students who are good at science in the class live on campus. I can ask, and the school will also arrange uniform evening self-study for me to learn. It's a good thing."
Lin Xi talked a lot, trying to make Li Rende feel better, but after a while, Li Rende was still very quiet.
It was a scorching afternoon outside, and people didn't like to go out at this time, so the street was relatively quiet.Standing under the eaves, Lin Xi was waiting for Li Rende's reaction when he suddenly realized that he seemed to have grown taller.
The way Li Rende bent his back turned out to be shorter and thinner than he looked.
This moment of consciousness made Lin Xi's mind full of thoughts.
Seeing Li Rendebi gesture and said: "Xixi, isn't uncle doing too well?"
Lin Xi hadn't recovered from that consciousness, subconsciously: "Huh?"
Li Rende finished the note, read the words on it over and over again, and then pressed his eyes with his hands: "I promised to take good care of you when I first came here, but you, you have become so sensible."
Lin Xi paused, recalling the scene when Lin Meiling just brought Li Rende home.
At that time, Lin Xi was still very young, and under the influence of Gao Yiliang, he hated the role of "father" deeply, and Li Rende's appearance was far inferior to Gao Yiliang. When he first met him, Lin Xi was rebellious to the extreme.
Li Rende was always trying to say something to him at that time, but Lin Xi couldn't understand Li Rende's gestures at all, and he didn't want to read them.
So later Li Rende found a notebook and wrote and drew for him.
Lin Xi remembered that the first sentence Li Rende wrote to him was: "Lin Xi, my uncle's name is Li Rende, and my uncle is here to take care of you with your mother. If you have anything, you can tell your uncle, and your uncle will help you find a solution."
The characters are big and stupid, especially unattractive. Lin Xi doesn't like them at all, but he still remembers them for no reason.
Now seeing Li Rende carefully reading the note, the tip of his nose couldn't help but feel sour, and said: "It's good to be sensible, I am sensible at this time, and I will definitely be admitted to a good university in the future. When the time comes, let you and mother Have a good time."
Li Rende shook his head, thought for a while, and took a pen to sign on the paper. He wrote very slowly, as if he was still hesitating, and he couldn't accept it, but finally signed.
When returning the note to Lin Xi, Li Rende looked at the large and small bags that Lin Xi had bought properly in front of him, and slowly gestured: "It's not sensible, the child is going to leave home if he is sensible, that's not good."
Lin Xi's throat choked.
After he left, Lin Meiling's mood improved a lot, along with her body.Over the past few weeks, even the doctor has gradually changed his tune.
So Lin Xi probably really wants to have a younger brother or younger sister.
He took the initiative to erect a high wall between himself and Lin Meiling, so that Lin Xi would no longer have any emotional turmoil because this younger brother or sister got Lin Meiling's preference, but at this moment, because of Li Rende, Lin Xi actually had an emotional turmoil for the first time. envious.
With Li Rende around, this child will have a very good family, at least better than him.
After handing over everything, Li Rende promised Lin Xi that he would bring out the school uniform for him in two days.
During this period of time, Lin Xi stayed at the senior's house, and Li Rende would often send him messages, asking him how he was doing, and also telling him about Lin Meiling's situation. Sometimes he would tentatively tell Lin Xi that Lin Meiling was in a good mood recently, do you want to have a family? Meet up, have a meal, etc.
Lin Xi would refuse every time, and his attitude was very firm.
This happened too many times, so Li Rende stopped talking about it.
This time, when Lin Xi was about to leave, he waved to stop him. After thinking for a long time, he gestured and asked tentatively: "Xixi, will you reply to my uncle's text messages in the future?"
Lin Xi paused, and quickly said: "Yes, uncle who will definitely come back, you can tell me anything if you have anything, and I will come back when I see it."
Li Rende made a long gesture, as if he had relaxed a bit, but he still rubbed his eyelids with a sad expression: "Hey, that's good."
Then he took his things and headed home.
Although this place is less crowded and secluded, it is not far from home. It is just a turn of the road into the community, but Lin Xi feels that Li Rende seems to have walked for a long time.
His back is a little shorter than before, and he doesn't look at all like a father who is about to have his own child and should be infinitely happy.
Lin Xi knew why.
In fact, Li Rende has seen the atmosphere of getting along with Lin Meiling and Lin Xi for so many years. He knows Lin Meiling and knows how much Lin Xi has suffered as a child. the share together.
In his last life, he persisted in this idea until the end, but this time because of an unexpected situation, Lin Xi no longer stayed by his side.
And this "situation" is none other than his own child.
At the beginning Li Rende was still very determined to not want the child for Lin Xi, but later Lin Meiling's insistence and the accumulation of natural emotions for the fetus in the womb gradually made Li Rende less firm.
After he came to Lin's house, he obviously decided to take good care of Lin Xi. Although the family's situation didn't go very well later, it was barely manageable, but now he didn't want his own children to completely take away Lin Xi's home.
Guilt crushed Li Rende's spine.
Lin Xi knew it, but he didn't blame Li Rende.
It is always difficult for people to be comprehensive, even from the bottom of their hearts.
Why is he not like this.
"So senior, do you really want to learn astronomy?"
That night, Lin Xi, who had eaten dinner and showered, sank into the sofa, and couldn't help asking.
That guilt shouldn't have been with Li Rende all the time, and it didn't meet Lin Xi's original intention to make Li Rende happy in this life when he first came back here.
But unfortunately, Lin Xi doesn't have many ways to change this now. Even if he abandons his emotions and returns home, Lin Meiling will be in a bad state because of him, so now he can only focus on the senior .
However, if he was here all the time, he might be able to make up for it in the future. Lin Xi still wanted to see Li Rende spend his life in this life.
It's a pity that Lin Xi himself is not sure whether he can have a future here.
Couldn't help but sank into the sofa and rubbed the pillow with his face.
"Yeah." Xu Hanlai responded, then turned his head to look at the child who was crawling into the pillow: "Didn't I answer you yesterday?"
"Oh." Lin Xi responded, then rolled over on the sofa with her full round belly, and lay on her side facing the direction of the senior.
He did answer, he remembered, and he also had doubts, as if he had thought about a lot of things.It's just that when he thought about it last night, his brain was quite clear, but today when he recalled it, he felt blurred.
But it doesn't matter, as long as one thing is clear, that is, he can't easily let go of the future of his senior's car accident because of such a sentence, which is a big bomb in Lin Xi's heart.
"Did you like astronomy since you were a child?" Lin Xi thought for a while and said.
But after I finished speaking, I felt that it was impossible. If I liked it so much, the senior's family should have a lot of astronomical equipment.
And Xu Hanlai's answer was indeed: "No."
"When was that?" Lin Xi asked curiously.
"Not long ago." Xu Han came to answer.
Lin Xi responded with a grunt, and said in his heart that he really couldn't make a judgment so early.Fortunately, he is one year younger than the senior, and he only needs to wait for a year, and he can be absolutely sure which school the senior will go to.
Xu Hanlai obviously saw what he was thinking, but he didn't comment directly.Instead, he turned his head to look at Lin Xi, as if he was thinking about something.
The cold light of the lamp in the living room shone on his black loose hair, and a little color was dotted in his eyes through the frame of the mirror.
Lin Xi was a little embarrassed by his gaze, his eyes subconsciously dropped, and then he saw something, and said strangely: "Hey? Senior, you are reading this book again."
In the hands of Xu Hanlai, the "Suta's Fantastic Drifting".
"How many times has it been done? Is it so good-looking?" Lin Xi tilted his head curiously.
Xu Hanlai looked down at the cover: "Yes."
Then tapped on it with fingertips for a moment, raised his head and smiled at Lin Xi and said, "Do you want to know what story it tells?"
If the book was just left there, Lin Xi wouldn't think about it.Because he remembered that he had read this book, but there was no memory in his brain, which showed that this book was not the type he liked.
But now with the new feeling of the old book in the morning, and the premise that the senior has read it several times, Lin Xi changed his mind and said, "I think."
Xu Hanlai looked at the cover and hesitated for two seconds, then tried: "I told you last time, this is the travelogue of the protagonist Suta, do you remember?"
Lin Xi opened his eyes and thought about it, then shook his head: "Is there? I don't remember."
Xu Hanlai frowned.
Just a few days ago, the morning when they decided to find a dessert shop, Xu Han came to tell Lin Xi when he entered the study.
But a few days, don't remember?
Lin Xi, who was stuck in the pillow, didn't know Xu Hanlai's doubts, and was still asking, "Why do you want to repay the favor?"
"...Because Suta's benefactor saved it, gave it food, drink, and a safe land in the horror forest, so Suta wants to repay the favor." Xu Han said, closed the book, and touched it lightly. The cover still tried to tell the story.
"It is indeed necessary to report." Lin Xi said obediently, lying on the pillow: "If it were me, I would report it too."
"This is a fairy tale, and Suta is a rabbit." Xu Han came to see him substituting so quickly, a little happy.
The senior's smile is really pretty, especially when there is helplessness towards him, as if he is infinitely indulgent to him.
Lin Xi's ears felt hot, and he rubbed his face into the pillow: "And then?"
"Then Suta's benefactor disappeared before it could repay his favor. Suta wanted to find his benefactor, so he had to go through the Horror Forest. This book is about what he saw and heard in the Horror Forest."
Lin Xi blinked: "Then has it found its benefactor?"
Xu Hanlai shook his head: "No, the Horror Forest is very difficult to cross. Suta was chased by a crocodile and bitten by a vulture in it, which made his footsteps too slow to catch up with his benefactor."
Xu Han said, then paused: "But it passed through the Horror Forest in the end."
Lin Xi asked expectantly, "Is there a benefactor outside the scary forest?"
"No, there was only one weasel, and it knocked Suta out with a corn cob," Xu Han said.
Lin Xi: "...and then?"
"Then Suta returned to the original point and saw its benefactor again. It's just that this time the benefactor was different from before. He didn't give it any favors and didn't remember it. Suta wanted to tell the benefactor what happened, so he once again Chased the benefactor through the horror forest, this time it was the rhino chasing it, the wolf dog bit it, and then it managed to pass through the horror forest, and was stunned by the weasel again." Xu Hanlai's tone was very relaxed, as if he was telling someone about sleeping. ex story.
Lin Xi on the other side of the sofa, while admiring the senior's gentle voice, couldn't help laughing when he heard the dramatic result, and commented: "This story is a bit strange."
"Yes, I didn't understand it at first." Xu Hanlai said while reaching out to touch the cover gently.
"Then did Suta go back to the original point and meet his benefactor this time?" Lin Xi asked.
"Well, but this time Suta didn't remember what happened, it only remembered that he wanted to repay his favor, so after seeing his benefactor, Suta went through the horror forest again. This time, in order to make himself remember to repay his favor, Suta decided to write Diary, I want to write a little bit, but the Horror Forest swallowed all the diary it has written with great difficulty..." Xu Han said, and suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Xi: "Are you sleepy again?"
Lin Xi looked tired when he came back from Li Rende in the morning, and he seemed to have had a lot of struggles in his heart, but Lin Xi tried to cover it up at the time.But now the tiredness climbed up his cheeks along his eyes that were about to close, making the child in the soft pillow seem to be falling asleep every minute.
"A little bit," Lin Xi rubbed his eyes and yawned, "Did it catch up to the benefactor this time?"
Xu Hanlai looked at Lin Xi's exhausted appearance, and shook his head: "No."
Lin Xi pondered for a few seconds: "Maybe it should learn how to defeat weasels."
Xu Hanlai laughed: "Suta is just a rabbit, and it has exhausted all its abilities to pass through the horror forest."
"Then it has been stunned by the weasel so many times, has it failed to repay the favor?" Lin Xi was really sleepy, but he was inexplicably curious and wanted to know the end of this strange story, so he asked with his eyelids open. .
"Yes, it has never caught up with its benefactor as it wished," Xu Hanlai said with lowered eyes, "The Huangying in the forest of terror said that Suta's benefactor may never remember this weak rabbit."
Lin Xi frowned, he wanted to say that he thought Huang Ying was right.People who can leave food, drink and safe land in the horror forest... the animals must be very powerful, how can they not notice that little Suta is chasing him?
But the drowsiness weighed down on him like a mountain, making him unable to speak, and just wanted to sleep.
"This made Suta very frustrated, but he still did not give up walking through the scary forest. Suta is a very brave rabbit." Seeing that Lin Xi was about to fall asleep, Xu Hanlai stopped telling the story, but sat away from him. Lin Xi got closer, and asked in a gentle voice, "Did you read the historical novel I bought yesterday, did you like it?"
Leaving aside the story, Lin Xi's drowsiness seemed to have weakened a bit, and he was able to speak, but after struggling for a long time, he could only speak vaguely.
"I like science."
His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and it was full of stubbornness. He just muttered like this while rubbing the pillow against Xu Hanlai's legs, falling asleep very comfortably.
Xu Hanlai looked down at the child sleeping soundly, covered him from the moonlight with his body, then put the book aside, reached out and tapped the tip of Lin Xi's nose, and exposed him for the first time: "You don't like science."
After returning home, he looked the same as usual, but when he was lying on the small bed at night, he still couldn't help but recall everything that happened today.
After the letter that made it clear to Lin Meiling was written, for Lin Xi, it was equivalent to erecting a wall between him and the Lin family.
Perhaps the wall has always existed, but the letter made it visible, but anyway, after that letter, Lin Xi had no intention of contacting her family—especially Lin Meiling for a long time. .
Even after Li Rende kept sending messages asking him where he lived, whether he wanted to go home, and how he was doing outside, Lin Xi never changed his mind.
It was also the occurrence of this incident that made Lin Xi's brain, which could not help but immerse himself in it because life was too real, become sober again after returning here.Thus, he strongly realized that he came back here from the future, and also remembered the goals he set for himself immediately after returning here.
Change the fate of seniors.
In the next half of the summer vacation, I kept asking the seniors about the situation and made more efforts in learning. This is also the result.
Lin Xi always believed that he had returned to the 27-year-old age on the 16-year-old lifeline, and in order to avoid the tragedy that happened to the 28-year-old Xu Hanlai on the same line, he had to stay with his senior all the time and try his best to avoid danger for him.
But the senior told him tonight that he planned to study astronomy, and this idea would not change.
After hearing this, Lin Xi was in a trance for a moment.
He never casually doubted what the senior said, so when Xu Han came to express it so seriously, Lin Xi would think about it.
Looking back, it has been almost five months since he returned to this era, and he has never left, and there seems to be no sign of leaving.Sometimes he wonders if he will never leave, but the memory of his beloved coffee in the last life reminds him all the time that no matter how real this place is, he cannot take it lightly, because he really does not belong to Lin Xi of this period. .
No one can explain what happened to him. Perhaps cosmology and space conjectures can make certain speculations about his current situation, but it is only speculation after all, and it is completely different from what actually happened to people.
And in the absence of precedent, it is impossible for someone to tell Lin Xi exactly what is going on, how long he can stay in this era, and the relationship between the life line of the favorite and the current one. What, can he change the senior's future?
Lin Xi couldn't even ask and complain casually.
Although it was a bit vague, he had memories of some things deep in his heart, for example, he remembered something one time, but soon forgot it due to sleepiness.
Even if the brain sometimes can't remember clearly, it will stop him through the body because of the implanted instinct.
As for this point, Lin Xi had already thought about it. He didn't have to think about it or ask questions, as long as he could stay here, stay with the senior.
But when Xu Hanlai told him with certainty today that he would definitely learn astronomy, Lin Xi's inner doubts came out again uncontrollably.
The master bedroom of the senior's house has floor-to-ceiling windows, and Lin Xi's small bed is placed between the floor-to-ceiling windows and the big bed.
At some point, Lin Xi quietly moved to the floor-to-ceiling window, gently pushed aside a corner of the thick curtain, and looked out through another layer of tulle curtain.
After ten o'clock, lights can still be seen all over the city. There are buildings, street lights, and stars in the sky.Although all this is a bit blurred under the tulle, it is real.
Lin Xi leaned in that small corner and looked out, his brown eyes were somewhat confused.
He once thought that maybe he was able to return to the age of 16 because of his regret for what happened to his seniors, but then he thought about it, there are so many people with obsessions in the world, if obsessions can change time and space, everything may have been messed up long ago .
So what the hell is going on here?Why on earth would he come back here?
And whether he can only come back for a period of time, and must race against time to change the fate of the senior and protect him, or in fact, from the moment he came back, everything has been different from before?
Thinking about Lin Meiling's different pregnancy in this life from the previous life, Lin Xi once thought that it was the butterfly effect caused by her return here, but thinking about it further, what about the relationship between the senior and Liu Hao?
Even before he returned to this era, changes had already taken place.
…So what he came to was not the 27-year-old period on the 16-year-old life line at all, but a new life line, which may not be all about the seniors, but also a new beginning for himself?
Lin Xi lay sideways on the small bed, the light in front of his eyes and the environment under the black light behind him were very real, as if only he himself who was thinking and questioning repeatedly was not real and was isolated in it.
He couldn't give up thinking, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't determine a correct answer.In the end, all those questions with question marks just drifted through his mind without causing any waves or leaving too deep traces.
Even at the end, Lin Xi was sleepy again.
Eyes closed, the hand that lifted the curtain slowly lowered, the brain that was constantly making thoughts became quiet, and finally merged with the surrounding environment and fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Hanlai was lying on the big soft bed behind him, watching Lin Xi in the dark.He couldn't hear Lin Xi's thinking, but he could see him lift the curtain and look out, and he could remember Lin Xi's series of reactions since he knew that he was going to be admitted to the Department of Astronomy of Nancheng University.
A moment after Lin Xi put down his hands, Xu Hanlai suddenly turned over and sat up from the side of the bed, then left the bedroom lightly.
Turn around and enter the study room, turn on the light, close the door, and sit at the computer desk.
At that time, it was close to eleven o'clock in the night, long after their usual rest time.Xu Hanlai pushed away the science exercise books that he had gradually piled up on the table to help Lin Xi with his homework, took out a notebook in the drawer, spread it out, and put on his glasses.
The light from the desk lamp shone on his golden mirror frame, reflecting a quiet light under the black hair.
While looking at it, he turned on the computer casually.
After the power-on password and the document password, a huge atlas appeared on the screen. With the notebook in his hand, he recorded and sorted out all his dreams and conjectures related to space in detail. s mail.
Unlike Lin Xi, he can remember all his dreams and speculations in detail, and he won't feel any discomfort when he thinks about it again.
I saw Xu Hanlai sitting on the chair, with his left leg casually erected in front of him, his straight back slightly bent sideways, and his downcast eyes looking down at the document bit by bit.He tapped on the keyboard occasionally to make up something, but it didn't move much, so he wasn't revising his record, but reading it carefully, making sure of something.
The document was dragged to the end, Xu Hanlai leaned his back completely on the back of the chair, thought for a moment, and pulled out a book from the exercise book on the desktop.
Familiar cover, familiar font.
–– "Suta's Fantastic Drifting".
Once again he turned the book from the first page to the last.
The sky was getting darker, and the clouds and mist outside the window covered the stars and the moon. Xu Hanlai lowered his eyes and flipped through the book. There was little emotion in the pure black eyes reflected by the metal light, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
After a long time, the wind blew and the clouds moved, and the sky gradually became brighter.
On the next Saturday, the seniors do not have to attend class.
...But Lin Xi didn't expect that he would stay in bed.
In Lin Xi's impression, Xu Hanlai's schedule is definitely one of the most regular among them. He has no bad habits like Liu Hao, or even Guo Yu, who occasionally commits --- going to bed late, and most of the time he is younger than Lin Xi. Nearly [-] "old guys" must be disciplined.
Sometimes when Lin Xi just woke up, the senior would already be in the kitchen with hot water telling him that it was early.
In terms of self-discipline, it can be said to be full marks.
Except today.
Until nine o'clock, Xu Hanlai had no intention of getting up.
After waking up and having breakfast, Lin Xi sat on the sofa and waited for a long time. He wanted to ask the senior about his weekend arrangements at home, as he did last week, but he didn't want to wait for the senior at all.
Instead, he sat by himself and unconsciously picked up the book that the senior put on the coffee table yesterday.
Lin Xi has read this book before. It is a historical novel written about Li Si, but it is not Lin Xi’s favorite style. Reading is a refreshing experience.
In the past, the historical records came first, and this novel was later, so there was a contrast everywhere. Now both the historical records and this novel have become reading materials from a long time ago. Lin Xi read page by page before slowly remembering that passage because he no longer The history that I often think about and gradually become gray in my mind.
Although the novel is exaggerated, it successfully makes the story and characters come alive on the page.
Looking at it, Lin Xi even had the idea of reading Li Silie's biography again.
However, when he was very excited, he looked up, and found that this place was not a favorite coffee shop, and the books piled up in the corner by the wall were not his favorite books, but the overly blank wall of the senior's house, and a clock hanging on the wall.
It showed that it was already ten o'clock, and the senior still didn't get up.
Seeing the clock, Lin Xi regained consciousness from the initial trance, put down the book, slipped into the bedroom with some worry, touched the senior's forehead, thought for a while, and made sure he was breathing before walking back into the living room.
It was a sunny day all over the city today, Lin Xi turned his head to look at the book lying quietly on the coffee table, relaxed his shoulders and smiled.
He didn't continue to read, but walked back to the sofa to touch the cover, remembering that in his previous life, Li Rende would occasionally deliberately ask him what book he was reading in order to strike up a conversation with him.
At that time, Lin Xi had very little patience with his family, and he was unwilling to talk to Li Rende more. Occasionally, Li Rende would secretly ask Lin Meiling as if he had found a treasure.Lin Meiling didn't like to talk to him about these things either. Sometimes she answered, and sometimes she asked Li Rende to check the information by herself.
Lin Xi didn't know how Li Rende handled it, anyway, he could always bring up historical topics that Lin Xi found interesting when they met for the second time.
After a long time, knowing his hard work behind the scenes, Lin Xi gradually became patient with him in his last life.
But time waits for no one.
So when he first came back here, Lin Xi also thought about treating Li Rende well, at least making him live a better life than his previous life.
But because of Lin Meiling a while ago, Lin Xi, who was so focused on the senior, almost forgot about it.
Recalling the new beginning that flashed in his mind last night, and Li Rende he saw on the street, Lin Xi sat on the sofa with his shoulders propped up and thought for a while, and finally left a note in a conspicuous place at home, turned and went out.
Without thinking about it, Li Rende must be at home recently. If he wants to see Li Rende, he just needs to go home.
But in this way, it is inevitable to run into Lin Meiling.
The reason why Lin Xi wrote that letter to Lin Meiling at the beginning was because he knew that he and Lin Meiling were each other's Pandora's boxes.In the past, she could barely sustain it, but now that Lin Meiling is pregnant, the changes in estrogen will only make her mental state worse than before.
So it's good for both of them not to see each other. Lin Xi doesn't need to face the fact that he was abandoned by his biological mother repeatedly, and Lin Meiling can let her emotions recuperate.
So Lin Xi stood downstairs and thought about it for a long time, but decided not to break the status quo between him and Lin Meiling.
He used the money he earned during the summer vacation to go to the mall to buy something, and when he was about to get home, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Li Rende.As he was walking, when he arrived at the fruit shop at the entrance of the community, Lin Xi heard something, turned sideways, and quickly hid himself. After a while, he turned his head to look outside.
What he just heard was Lin Meiling's voice.
He spoke the full city dialect and was asking the owner of the fruit stand if the grapes could be cheaper.
The Mancheng dialect is soft and mellow, and Lin Meiling has a nice voice. When she was young, she wore a cheongsam and spoke the Mancheng dialect gently and softly. Everyone talked about it. After ten years, she didn’t say much, but today Lin Xi heard it.
I saw Lin Meiling standing by the fruit stand, wearing a light yellow dress and a pair of flat shoes.The lower abdomen looks the same as before, but judging from the state of Lin Meiling talking to the fruit stand owner with a gentle smile, she should be in good condition recently, and the child's condition should also be good.
I just don't know why she was alone at the fruit stand.
According to Lin Xi's understanding of Li Rende, the latter should not be very good at letting go.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, when Lin Meiling was walking back with the grapes, Lin Xi saw Li Rende running out of the community with his shoes on, waving his hands and anxiously calling the word "ancestor" from a distance. .
Lin Xi was amused directly, and when he looked carefully, Lin Meiling's back seemed to be smiling too.
Lin Xi paused, and looked back under the sun.
Their family lived here for a while, and the owner of the fruit stand knew Lin Xi. In order not to be recognized, Lin Xi found a relatively remote corner and sat for a while, taking the time to count when Li Rende and the others arrived home and put away their things. After that, I read the previously edited text message again and sent it out.
It is already eleven o'clock in the morning, and one of the characteristics of such an old residential area is that at this time, every household will waft out the smell of food.The aroma of this kind of home-made food cannot be surpassed by any restaurant. Lin Xi clutched his empty stomach, suddenly a little thankful that he didn't choose to go directly downstairs to wait.
It was noon, and there were fewer cars on the road. Lin Xi waited for about 15 minutes before seeing Li Rende who was hurriedly walking this way.
"Uncle!" Lin Xi called out to him.
Li Rende immediately ran over and gestured: "Xixi, are you back?"
Lin Xi looked at his hands, stood up and wrinkled his face: "Uncle, didn't you help me bring out the school uniform?"
It has been two weeks since the seniors started school, and it will start in Lin Xi in a few days.No. [-] middle school had to wear a school uniform when returning to school, so in the text message Lin Xi just edited to Li Rende not only asked him to come down, but also troubled him to bring his own school uniform.
But Li Rende didn't take it. Faced with Lin Xi's question, he spread his hands and didn't make any gestures for a while, only smiled embarrassedly.
"Uncle didn't take it. Uncle wondered...would you come home to live in these few days." After a while, Li Rende gestured.
There was hope in his smile, Lin Xi looked a little soft-hearted, but still said.
"No more Uncle, I told my mother in the letter that I will live on campus in the second and third years of high school, and I should seldom go home after that."
Li Rende paused, looked at Lin Xi for a long time, and waved his fingers forward twice, with reluctance in his eyes: "Well, after that, it will be another four years to go to college, isn't it six or six years?"
Lin Xi couldn't bear to watch, and avoided his eyes: "It won't be that long, I will come back often to see you, the uncle who is in touch with you."
As Lin Xi said, he handed the things he just bought from the mall to Li Rende: "By the way, uncle, I earned some pocket money this summer vacation, and I don't need that much, so I bought some things for you and mother." .These clothes are for you. You haven’t changed new clothes for a long time. These supplements are for your mother. They can nourish your body. Don’t tell her that I bought them, just make them for her to eat.”
Lin Xi knew Li Rende well, and he didn't buy particularly expensive clothes. He focused on comfort and quantity, and couldn't tear off the price tag, so Li Rende would wear them.The supplements are all good. Li Rende took a break from work to take care of Lin Meiling at home. The family's financial situation would be tight, and he might not have the money to buy them, but if Lin Xi bought them and forced them, Li Rende would be willing to give them to Lin Meiling.
After all, Lin Meiling has raised Lin Xi for so many years, Lin Xi will not be reluctant to spend money for her.But Li Rende refused for a moment, and heard Lin Xi say that the supplements and clothes were bought a few days ago and could not be returned, so he accepted it silently as Lin Xi thought.
"And this, uncle." Lin Xi said, and took out a pen and a piece of paper from his pocket: "My application form for living in school in the second year of high school, here, parents need to sign."
Li Rende glanced at the note, but did not move.
Lin Xi comforted him: "Uncle, I plan to study science in the second year of high school, but my grades in science are not very good. Many students who are good at science in the class live on campus. I can ask, and the school will also arrange uniform evening self-study for me to learn. It's a good thing."
Lin Xi talked a lot, trying to make Li Rende feel better, but after a while, Li Rende was still very quiet.
It was a scorching afternoon outside, and people didn't like to go out at this time, so the street was relatively quiet.Standing under the eaves, Lin Xi was waiting for Li Rende's reaction when he suddenly realized that he seemed to have grown taller.
The way Li Rende bent his back turned out to be shorter and thinner than he looked.
This moment of consciousness made Lin Xi's mind full of thoughts.
Seeing Li Rendebi gesture and said: "Xixi, isn't uncle doing too well?"
Lin Xi hadn't recovered from that consciousness, subconsciously: "Huh?"
Li Rende finished the note, read the words on it over and over again, and then pressed his eyes with his hands: "I promised to take good care of you when I first came here, but you, you have become so sensible."
Lin Xi paused, recalling the scene when Lin Meiling just brought Li Rende home.
At that time, Lin Xi was still very young, and under the influence of Gao Yiliang, he hated the role of "father" deeply, and Li Rende's appearance was far inferior to Gao Yiliang. When he first met him, Lin Xi was rebellious to the extreme.
Li Rende was always trying to say something to him at that time, but Lin Xi couldn't understand Li Rende's gestures at all, and he didn't want to read them.
So later Li Rende found a notebook and wrote and drew for him.
Lin Xi remembered that the first sentence Li Rende wrote to him was: "Lin Xi, my uncle's name is Li Rende, and my uncle is here to take care of you with your mother. If you have anything, you can tell your uncle, and your uncle will help you find a solution."
The characters are big and stupid, especially unattractive. Lin Xi doesn't like them at all, but he still remembers them for no reason.
Now seeing Li Rende carefully reading the note, the tip of his nose couldn't help but feel sour, and said: "It's good to be sensible, I am sensible at this time, and I will definitely be admitted to a good university in the future. When the time comes, let you and mother Have a good time."
Li Rende shook his head, thought for a while, and took a pen to sign on the paper. He wrote very slowly, as if he was still hesitating, and he couldn't accept it, but finally signed.
When returning the note to Lin Xi, Li Rende looked at the large and small bags that Lin Xi had bought properly in front of him, and slowly gestured: "It's not sensible, the child is going to leave home if he is sensible, that's not good."
Lin Xi's throat choked.
After he left, Lin Meiling's mood improved a lot, along with her body.Over the past few weeks, even the doctor has gradually changed his tune.
So Lin Xi probably really wants to have a younger brother or younger sister.
He took the initiative to erect a high wall between himself and Lin Meiling, so that Lin Xi would no longer have any emotional turmoil because this younger brother or sister got Lin Meiling's preference, but at this moment, because of Li Rende, Lin Xi actually had an emotional turmoil for the first time. envious.
With Li Rende around, this child will have a very good family, at least better than him.
After handing over everything, Li Rende promised Lin Xi that he would bring out the school uniform for him in two days.
During this period of time, Lin Xi stayed at the senior's house, and Li Rende would often send him messages, asking him how he was doing, and also telling him about Lin Meiling's situation. Sometimes he would tentatively tell Lin Xi that Lin Meiling was in a good mood recently, do you want to have a family? Meet up, have a meal, etc.
Lin Xi would refuse every time, and his attitude was very firm.
This happened too many times, so Li Rende stopped talking about it.
This time, when Lin Xi was about to leave, he waved to stop him. After thinking for a long time, he gestured and asked tentatively: "Xixi, will you reply to my uncle's text messages in the future?"
Lin Xi paused, and quickly said: "Yes, uncle who will definitely come back, you can tell me anything if you have anything, and I will come back when I see it."
Li Rende made a long gesture, as if he had relaxed a bit, but he still rubbed his eyelids with a sad expression: "Hey, that's good."
Then he took his things and headed home.
Although this place is less crowded and secluded, it is not far from home. It is just a turn of the road into the community, but Lin Xi feels that Li Rende seems to have walked for a long time.
His back is a little shorter than before, and he doesn't look at all like a father who is about to have his own child and should be infinitely happy.
Lin Xi knew why.
In fact, Li Rende has seen the atmosphere of getting along with Lin Meiling and Lin Xi for so many years. He knows Lin Meiling and knows how much Lin Xi has suffered as a child. the share together.
In his last life, he persisted in this idea until the end, but this time because of an unexpected situation, Lin Xi no longer stayed by his side.
And this "situation" is none other than his own child.
At the beginning Li Rende was still very determined to not want the child for Lin Xi, but later Lin Meiling's insistence and the accumulation of natural emotions for the fetus in the womb gradually made Li Rende less firm.
After he came to Lin's house, he obviously decided to take good care of Lin Xi. Although the family's situation didn't go very well later, it was barely manageable, but now he didn't want his own children to completely take away Lin Xi's home.
Guilt crushed Li Rende's spine.
Lin Xi knew it, but he didn't blame Li Rende.
It is always difficult for people to be comprehensive, even from the bottom of their hearts.
Why is he not like this.
"So senior, do you really want to learn astronomy?"
That night, Lin Xi, who had eaten dinner and showered, sank into the sofa, and couldn't help asking.
That guilt shouldn't have been with Li Rende all the time, and it didn't meet Lin Xi's original intention to make Li Rende happy in this life when he first came back here.
But unfortunately, Lin Xi doesn't have many ways to change this now. Even if he abandons his emotions and returns home, Lin Meiling will be in a bad state because of him, so now he can only focus on the senior .
However, if he was here all the time, he might be able to make up for it in the future. Lin Xi still wanted to see Li Rende spend his life in this life.
It's a pity that Lin Xi himself is not sure whether he can have a future here.
Couldn't help but sank into the sofa and rubbed the pillow with his face.
"Yeah." Xu Hanlai responded, then turned his head to look at the child who was crawling into the pillow: "Didn't I answer you yesterday?"
"Oh." Lin Xi responded, then rolled over on the sofa with her full round belly, and lay on her side facing the direction of the senior.
He did answer, he remembered, and he also had doubts, as if he had thought about a lot of things.It's just that when he thought about it last night, his brain was quite clear, but today when he recalled it, he felt blurred.
But it doesn't matter, as long as one thing is clear, that is, he can't easily let go of the future of his senior's car accident because of such a sentence, which is a big bomb in Lin Xi's heart.
"Did you like astronomy since you were a child?" Lin Xi thought for a while and said.
But after I finished speaking, I felt that it was impossible. If I liked it so much, the senior's family should have a lot of astronomical equipment.
And Xu Hanlai's answer was indeed: "No."
"When was that?" Lin Xi asked curiously.
"Not long ago." Xu Han came to answer.
Lin Xi responded with a grunt, and said in his heart that he really couldn't make a judgment so early.Fortunately, he is one year younger than the senior, and he only needs to wait for a year, and he can be absolutely sure which school the senior will go to.
Xu Hanlai obviously saw what he was thinking, but he didn't comment directly.Instead, he turned his head to look at Lin Xi, as if he was thinking about something.
The cold light of the lamp in the living room shone on his black loose hair, and a little color was dotted in his eyes through the frame of the mirror.
Lin Xi was a little embarrassed by his gaze, his eyes subconsciously dropped, and then he saw something, and said strangely: "Hey? Senior, you are reading this book again."
In the hands of Xu Hanlai, the "Suta's Fantastic Drifting".
"How many times has it been done? Is it so good-looking?" Lin Xi tilted his head curiously.
Xu Hanlai looked down at the cover: "Yes."
Then tapped on it with fingertips for a moment, raised his head and smiled at Lin Xi and said, "Do you want to know what story it tells?"
If the book was just left there, Lin Xi wouldn't think about it.Because he remembered that he had read this book, but there was no memory in his brain, which showed that this book was not the type he liked.
But now with the new feeling of the old book in the morning, and the premise that the senior has read it several times, Lin Xi changed his mind and said, "I think."
Xu Hanlai looked at the cover and hesitated for two seconds, then tried: "I told you last time, this is the travelogue of the protagonist Suta, do you remember?"
Lin Xi opened his eyes and thought about it, then shook his head: "Is there? I don't remember."
Xu Hanlai frowned.
Just a few days ago, the morning when they decided to find a dessert shop, Xu Han came to tell Lin Xi when he entered the study.
But a few days, don't remember?
Lin Xi, who was stuck in the pillow, didn't know Xu Hanlai's doubts, and was still asking, "Why do you want to repay the favor?"
"...Because Suta's benefactor saved it, gave it food, drink, and a safe land in the horror forest, so Suta wants to repay the favor." Xu Han said, closed the book, and touched it lightly. The cover still tried to tell the story.
"It is indeed necessary to report." Lin Xi said obediently, lying on the pillow: "If it were me, I would report it too."
"This is a fairy tale, and Suta is a rabbit." Xu Han came to see him substituting so quickly, a little happy.
The senior's smile is really pretty, especially when there is helplessness towards him, as if he is infinitely indulgent to him.
Lin Xi's ears felt hot, and he rubbed his face into the pillow: "And then?"
"Then Suta's benefactor disappeared before it could repay his favor. Suta wanted to find his benefactor, so he had to go through the Horror Forest. This book is about what he saw and heard in the Horror Forest."
Lin Xi blinked: "Then has it found its benefactor?"
Xu Hanlai shook his head: "No, the Horror Forest is very difficult to cross. Suta was chased by a crocodile and bitten by a vulture in it, which made his footsteps too slow to catch up with his benefactor."
Xu Han said, then paused: "But it passed through the Horror Forest in the end."
Lin Xi asked expectantly, "Is there a benefactor outside the scary forest?"
"No, there was only one weasel, and it knocked Suta out with a corn cob," Xu Han said.
Lin Xi: "...and then?"
"Then Suta returned to the original point and saw its benefactor again. It's just that this time the benefactor was different from before. He didn't give it any favors and didn't remember it. Suta wanted to tell the benefactor what happened, so he once again Chased the benefactor through the horror forest, this time it was the rhino chasing it, the wolf dog bit it, and then it managed to pass through the horror forest, and was stunned by the weasel again." Xu Hanlai's tone was very relaxed, as if he was telling someone about sleeping. ex story.
Lin Xi on the other side of the sofa, while admiring the senior's gentle voice, couldn't help laughing when he heard the dramatic result, and commented: "This story is a bit strange."
"Yes, I didn't understand it at first." Xu Hanlai said while reaching out to touch the cover gently.
"Then did Suta go back to the original point and meet his benefactor this time?" Lin Xi asked.
"Well, but this time Suta didn't remember what happened, it only remembered that he wanted to repay his favor, so after seeing his benefactor, Suta went through the horror forest again. This time, in order to make himself remember to repay his favor, Suta decided to write Diary, I want to write a little bit, but the Horror Forest swallowed all the diary it has written with great difficulty..." Xu Han said, and suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Xi: "Are you sleepy again?"
Lin Xi looked tired when he came back from Li Rende in the morning, and he seemed to have had a lot of struggles in his heart, but Lin Xi tried to cover it up at the time.But now the tiredness climbed up his cheeks along his eyes that were about to close, making the child in the soft pillow seem to be falling asleep every minute.
"A little bit," Lin Xi rubbed his eyes and yawned, "Did it catch up to the benefactor this time?"
Xu Hanlai looked at Lin Xi's exhausted appearance, and shook his head: "No."
Lin Xi pondered for a few seconds: "Maybe it should learn how to defeat weasels."
Xu Hanlai laughed: "Suta is just a rabbit, and it has exhausted all its abilities to pass through the horror forest."
"Then it has been stunned by the weasel so many times, has it failed to repay the favor?" Lin Xi was really sleepy, but he was inexplicably curious and wanted to know the end of this strange story, so he asked with his eyelids open. .
"Yes, it has never caught up with its benefactor as it wished," Xu Hanlai said with lowered eyes, "The Huangying in the forest of terror said that Suta's benefactor may never remember this weak rabbit."
Lin Xi frowned, he wanted to say that he thought Huang Ying was right.People who can leave food, drink and safe land in the horror forest... the animals must be very powerful, how can they not notice that little Suta is chasing him?
But the drowsiness weighed down on him like a mountain, making him unable to speak, and just wanted to sleep.
"This made Suta very frustrated, but he still did not give up walking through the scary forest. Suta is a very brave rabbit." Seeing that Lin Xi was about to fall asleep, Xu Hanlai stopped telling the story, but sat away from him. Lin Xi got closer, and asked in a gentle voice, "Did you read the historical novel I bought yesterday, did you like it?"
Leaving aside the story, Lin Xi's drowsiness seemed to have weakened a bit, and he was able to speak, but after struggling for a long time, he could only speak vaguely.
"I like science."
His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and it was full of stubbornness. He just muttered like this while rubbing the pillow against Xu Hanlai's legs, falling asleep very comfortably.
