unique lover

Li Nanxing found out about Lin Chu's part-time job at a restaurant on weekends.

Li Nanxing pulled Song Jingyan and Ouyang over to eat together as if he had discovered a treasure. Of course, it was not as simple as eating, they found the fun of playing with others.

This western restaurant is not very high-end for rich men like them, it is just an average consumption level, but the environment is not bad.

There is a black grand piano in the center of the restaurant. Lin Chu's task is to play the piano at a fixed time, and he is usually in charge of serving as a waiter.

The manager gave Lin Chu the menu card and asked him to take table No. 13. He knew the numbers of every table here. When he picked up the things and looked at that table, his whole body felt stiff. He could see Li Nanxing from a distance. Staring at him with a smirk, Ouyang was sitting next to him.

It was definitely not a good thing that Li Nanxing would appear here. He walked over helplessly, only to see Song Jingyan sitting opposite Li Nanxing.

"Hey, isn't this the new male god in our class? The students of Kaide School are serving as waiters here, so they won't be ashamed if it spreads."

Li Nanxing always liked to make him bitter, but Lin Chu never responded to their words.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Bring the most expensive one," Li Nanxing said.

Lin Chu took the conversation calmly, "Then I'll order char-grilled Angus boneless beef short ribs for the three of you. Would you like some drinks?"

"What would you like to drink?" Song Jingyan didn't look up, just flipped through the menu card in his hand and asked.

"It depends on personal taste." Lin Chu replied lightly.

"You help us decide, we have never been to this kind of place." Song Jingyan closed the menu, picked it up with his left hand and stopped in mid-air.

Lin Chu reached out and took it, "Then I'll order three cups of lemon tea for the three of you, a total of 450 yuan."

Lin Chu knew that they came here to find fault, so he didn't even bother to ask whether he wanted a big cup or a medium cup.

Song Jingyan, who was sitting next to Lin Chu, took out a black bank card and put it in front of him. Lin Chu reached out to take it as usual, put away the menu card to help them order and pay, and then handed the card over.

When Song Jingyan took back the card, he took out another one hundred yuan cash, "This is a tip for you."

Lin Chu used to receive a lot of tips when he worked part-time in high-end western restaurants, especially some foreigners. This is a matter of cultural customs. Lin Chu also thinks it’s nothing. There are relatively few people in China. The price of this restaurant It's not very high, so naturally there are no customers who give tips. Lin Chu looked at the one hundred yuan in Song Jingyan's hand, always feeling inferior, so he didn't pick it up.

Li Nanxing took Song Jingyan's money and stuffed him into Lin Chu's clothes, "This is your reward, Lin Mutou, go play a song and listen to it." Li Nanxing said.

"Now is not playing time."

"We pay you to play, how much do you think it costs to play a song?"

Lin Chu ignored his words, packed his things and walked away.

"Hey! How can you be a waiter!" Li Nanxing yelled from behind, alarming the manager beside him. The middle-aged man with a big belly immediately walked over with a smile on his face, "Excuse me, do you have any questions?"

"No, he has a bad service attitude and won't even play the piano!"

"Oh, that's it, I'm sorry, so I'll let him play a song for a few of you."

After speaking, he walked towards Lin Chu, his face immediately changed towards Lin Chu, and he said a few words beside Lin Chu in a serious manner, and after finishing speaking, Lin Chu silently walked to the side of the piano and started playing.

"Against us, he is still a little tender."

After a while, Lin Chu brought up the finished steak. When he brought it over, Li Nanxing stretched out one foot. Lin Chu didn't notice that the steak in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. Hearing the sound, he came over and quickly apologized to them, but looked at Lin Chu with a fierce look on his face.

"Be smart with your hands and feet! You can't do this little thing well! Is there something wrong with your brain!"

"Boss, how does this count?" Li Nanxing glanced at the steak lying on the ground and the ingredients scattered all over the floor.

Before the manager could speak, Lin Chu said automatically, "Manager, it's my fault, deduct it from my salary."

The manager glanced at Lin Chu and said impatiently, "Clean it up now."

Lin Chu went into the utility room and came out with a mop to wipe the floor clean. He kept his head down the whole time, not paying attention to the people who saw his jokes.

"This steak is average." Song Jingyan said.

"Although the food isn't very tasty, it's worth watching a good show." Li Nanxing looked at Lin Chu who was cleaning silently.

"Lin Mutou, don't you have no emotions, tell me what we are going to do, and you will cry!"

Lin Chu lowered his head and ignored him, packed up the trash and walked away.

"It's really boring. No matter what we do with him, it always feels like I don't care."

Song Jingyan looked at Lin Chu's indifferent figure and found it ridiculous. Among the people he met, if he scolded Li Nanxing like the restaurant manager just now, he would take out a wad of money and throw it at the person. If he dared to scold Ouyang like this, he would Go directly to the store manager and complain to him. If someone scolds Song Jingyan like this, he will punch him and send him to the orthopedics department.

But this person was fine, he clearly knew that it was Li Nanxing's fault, he neither refuted nor felt wronged, and just stood there stubbornly.

After Lin Chu tidied up, he put away the apron hanging in front, walked to the piano and sat down. This time he played "Dream Wedding". Although Song Jingyan was not good at it, he had also learned the piano. knew.

Some time ago, he had been wondering why he couldn't see this person on weekends, thinking that he really stayed in the room every day and didn't come out. It was only later that Li Nanxing told him that Lin Chu went to the restaurant to work part-time every weekend.

How much can you earn in a day?After thinking about it, he probably didn't even have enough money for his usual meal.

Looking from his position, he could just see Lin Chu's side face, and the faintly sad background music rang in his ears. He felt that Lin Chu was not as annoying as before at this moment. Lin Chu, who played the piano, seemed to be a little bit ----- pretty.

Lin Chu finished his busy day, packed his things, and rushed to the train station to meet someone he hadn't seen in three years. In fact, he didn't want to go, but his mother kept telling him that the whole family was a family after all. A family, as long as he can mend his ways, it will always be a family.

I haven't seen him for three years, and this person is about to disappear from his world. I used to hate him when I thought of him, but I haven't seen him in the past few years, and that hatred has gradually faded with age, and it is hidden in my heart. , Every time he sees someone else's father, he will show envy. In fact, he still hopes to have a father from the bottom of his heart, looking forward to a normal family.

It's just that children are not qualified to choose their parents, they can only hope that their parents can be better.

A year ago, I heard from my mother that this man had a leg broken by a debt collector, and he never gambled again. My mother went to find his father without telling him, and none of these mothers told him about it. Mom He also told him that half a year ago, this man sold a kidney to pay back part of the money, and found a job as a coal miner, and he was slowly paying off his debts, but the little money he earned was nothing compared to his life of spending money like water. A drop in the bucket, otherwise the mother and son wouldn't have been hiding until now.

"Even if it is a small force, he has changed." This is what his mother said to him.

Lin Chu reluctantly took the 4 yuan that his mother gave him to the train station. He heard from his mother that his grandfather passed away. In fact, his memory of those people in his hometown is very vague. He came out of his hometown when he was very young. Then I ran around, except for my uncle, I hardly had any contact with anyone, no grandparents or grandparents.

The railway station in city A is always crowded with people, and the air-conditioning is mixed with various smells. Those who come from here, those who leave here, come and go, those who come with their dreams and those who leave with their dreams, there are many people who have taken root here.

He is very grateful to Uncle Song, if not for him, their mother and son might not be able to survive a week in City A.

He walked around the train station several times before he saw a familiar figure in a corner. To say he was familiar was actually not familiar, even a little vague, but the feeling was not wrong.

The white-haired wrinkled face in front of him, and the two black eye circles are particularly noticeable. He is limping, with one shoulder bulging upwards, leaning skinny on the denim bag and drowsy, which still makes Lin Chu hesitate. It's only been three years, how did his father become like this.

Lin Chu thought of Song Jingyan's father, who looked majestic and upright, while his father looked like an old man in his twilight, as if he would end his life easily and soon.

Lin Chu was standing 2 meters away from him. When his father saw him, his eyes lit up, and he limped towards him with a red plastic bag in his hand.

This is really his father?

The father in Lin Chu's impression was at least a fat middle-aged man. His face was flushed after drinking, and his hand strength was terrible. He often hit people with a wine bottle. Breathing fire, the words that come out of the mouth are also full of glass shards.

As he got closer and closer, his smile became clearer and clearer, but Lin Chu's dream became more and more blurred.

He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, but the other party spoke first, "Lin Chu, it's been a long time since I've seen you, I've grown taller, taller than my father."

I don't know why he doesn't like these words coming out of this mouth, and he feels inexplicably repulsed. He would rather the other party scold him severely like before, and he also feels better than now.

"This is the money Mom gave you."

The man didn't feel embarrassed, and stretched out his hand. It was a pair of black hands that couldn't be blacker. The nails were full of black dirt and a few scabs. He took out a piece of one hundred yuan bill and put it in Lin Chu's hand.

"Here, here's your pocket money."

"No, I will make money myself." Lin Chu broke free from his hand, and suddenly the red plastic bag in the man's hand fell to the ground, and a few candies fell out of it. One, and handed it to Lin Chu.

"Chu, Dad bought you candy, eat it on the way back."

Lin Chu's sluggish hands were at a loss. In his impression, this person hadn't bought anything for him for more than ten years, but seeing his distressed expression on these candies just now was pitiful and hateful.

He thought to himself, he is already old, and he is already past the age of eating candy.

The man held Lin Chu's hand, and handed the red plastic bag to Lin Chu with a smile. "Hold it well."

Lin Chu didn't struggle, just carried it like this, the two of them were embarrassed for a while, "Let me help you take it in." Lin Chu looked at a big denim bag beside him.

"No, they are all worthless things. I'll just take them. You can go back first. It's too late now."

"Go back." The man said again hoarsely but softly,

Lin Chu turned around and was about to leave when his father said from behind: "Chu, Dad is sorry for your mother and son, don't be like Dad when you grow up, Dad is not a good person."

After finishing speaking, he put the denim bag on his shoulder with one hand, turned and left silently.

Lin Chu turned around and looked at his leaving back, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, this person, how could this person have a more miserable life than him!

He thought that he would hate this person all his life, but seeing his downcast appearance today, he couldn't hate him at all. His heart was empty. He felt that he was too soft-hearted. A bag of candy buried the hatred for more than ten years. In fact, he himself doesn't know that no matter how deep his hatred for his father is, it all stems from his desire for beauty!

From the train station back to the Song family's villa area, Lin Chu's heart was heavy all the way. He didn't go back directly, but walked around the community. At the corner, he met a dog, wearing red clothes, wearing this golden The bell walked past him under the guidance of the master. He looked up at the surrounding buildings. The lights were bright, and every house looked so resplendent and resplendent. The rich people living here are either rich or expensive. Every night There will always be people who walk their dogs. He has heard about the treatment of these dogs in the chats of his classmates. There are special clothes, special houses, special toys, special food, and special caretakers.

He couldn't help feeling that the dogs of these rich people were treated better than ordinary people.

He thought of the sloppy, decadent father, the lonely figure who turned away with the denim bag on his back.

The difference between the rich and the poor can be so great, which he has never experienced before.

At the age of 17, his heart is not as strong as he imagined. Although he kept covering up his inner fragility and wanted to make himself less concerned, he still couldn't control it tonight, and his heart was a little uncomfortable.

He thought of the bag of sugar in his hand, the handle of the bag was wrinkled, he took out one at random, opened it and put it in his mouth, the sweet taste filled the whole mouth, but the sweet taste couldn't get in no matter what In his heart, his eyes were red unconsciously, tears blurred his vision, and he didn't see Song Jingyan standing at the door.

"Hey! Are you polite! You won't..."

Song Jingyan's voice immediately pulled him out of his thoughts, he took a deep breath, turned his head away, not to look at him.

At that moment just now, Song Jingyan saw the tears in his eyes glowing with stars under the street lamp. For a moment, he felt that the stars shone into his heart, causing a wave of warmth to flow through his whole body.

Lin Chu sniffled a little, said in a panic, "Good evening", and left in a hurry after speaking.

"Hey~~" Song Jingyan yelled, but he didn't keep Lin Chu back. He stood on the spot alone. Seeing Lin Chu's red eyes from crying just now, instead of laughing, he felt a little guilty. He blamed himself for today Is what you did a little too bullying?

He thought about it seriously, but it didn't matter. Usually he didn't care if he was beaten or scolded, why did he cry today?

Inexplicable, Song Jingyan thought to himself.

Tonight, Song Jingyan tossed and turned on the bed without sleep, and when he closed his eyes, his mind was full of Lin Chu's teary eyes.
