"Hey, Mom, that... I recently..."

This month has just started, and Lin Jinyu is out of money before she gets home to pay her living expenses.

But this time, I really don’t blame him. The huge amount of money for the medicine was more than 400 yuan. Counting the remaining 150 yuan in June, the total in his hand was less than [-] yuan, and he had to pay for two people. The food expenses were all used up within three days. It was really all gone, and I couldn't even drink a large bucket of mineral water.

"Xiaoyu, it's only the fourth day. Are you shopping again?" Mother Lin was also a little surprised. The family atmosphere in their family has always been relatively casual, and the monthly living expenses are not so fixed. Usually, when do they come? I'll give it when I'm free, if I think about it, but it won't exceed the middle of the month at the latest... Although it's more casual, but the amount given each time is large. Although Lin Jinyu is not very frugal, she probably still has a lot, and she won't consume ahead of time, so I'm not afraid that he has no money to eat. In the past, it was not until the tenth day that he thought of sending money to his son, but Lin Jinyu had never called them twice in three months like this to ask for money.

"No..." Lin Jinyu said, "My classmate was in a hurry, so he asked me to borrow some money."

Mother Lin asked: "Which classmate, your roommate? Didn't they all go home?"

"Students from high school..." Lin Jinyu has always boasted that she has good language organization skills, but now she doesn't know what to say, high school classmates, and they are not in the same school, why did they come to you?Oh, he has nowhere to go.Why is there nowhere to go?Because of conflicts with the family.What contradiction?He came out and he was with...

???

This...can you say it?

The sudden increase in personal expenses is not normal. Mother Lin began to worry about whether he was trapped in something like a campus loan... or whether he was in a relationship without telling the family: "Xiaoyu, what do you have?" I have to tell my family about it, and you are also twenty, and my mother still respects your wishes for some things."

"Hmm..." Lin Jinyu thought: I hope it's true.

In the end, he didn't say anything substantive. He just said that his classmate borrowed more than 1000 yuan from him and didn't pay it back, so he had no money. Ms. Lin should be a little suspicious, but she didn't force her to ask, so she transferred it to him. living expenses for this month.

Lin Jinyu hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.

Wang Xiu has behaved quite normally these past few days. He should eat and sleep. During the day, Lin Jinyu has to go to school, and he just stays in the room by himself, playing with his mobile phone or doing anything, without making noise or making trouble... It's normal Lin Jinyu almost thought that the sound of him crying secretly under the quilt on the first night was his hallucination.

People like Wang Xiu are probably like Xiaoqiang.

It's just over a week before Lin Jinyu's birthday, Zhang Xinli will definitely come, but Lin Jinyu hasn't told Wang Xiu about the relationship between the two of them... On the one hand, he doesn't know where to start, on the other hand, he is a little undecided, After all, this is not his business alone. He still remembers that when they first got together, he sent out a very cryptic message... Zhang Xinli seemed to be unhappy.

Probably he was still afraid of being looked at with a strange and scrutinizing gaze. Lin Jinyu didn't blame him, he was also afraid... Who can really be completely free from fear.

He glanced at the extra money in the card, went to the cafeteria to charge the card and ate, then called Wang Xiu to ask what he wanted to eat, and packed a copy for him to take home.

The temperature is high today, and the rental house is extremely hot and stuffy. Wang Xiu didn't turn on the air conditioner, but opened all the windows for ventilation.

Lin Jinyu was sweating all over his back, and with a cigarette in his mouth, he went into the room and put the food on the table, beckoning him to come and eat, and said, "It's so hot, why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"

Wang Xiu got up from the bed, climbed to the table and sat down, and said, "The electricity bill is free."

This tone reminded Lin Jinyu of the charter lady who practiced lion roar on TV. He opened the plastic bag, handed the disposable chopsticks to Wang Xiu, and said, "That's only a few dollars. You can open it when it's hot."

Wang Xiu's back was also full of sweat, but he said, "Fortunately, there is no Shanghai fever."

Humid, hot, dry, hot, Lin Jinyu couldn't take it anymore, so he choked out the cigarette and turned on the air conditioner.

Wang Xiu said, "Actually, you don't have to do it for me..."

Lin Jinyu actually wanted to brag, he said, "Let's eat, and turn it off when it's not so hot."

Wang Xiu lowered her head and went to pick up the rice... She stared straight at the table in front of her while picking her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

……

At night, Wang Xiu hid in the toilet to apply the medicine by herself, while Lin Jinyu dragged her flip-flops and walked to the window at the end of the corridor to call Zhang Xinli.

"...It's okay," Lin Jinyu said, blowing the dry night wind here, leaning his elbows on the window sill, "It's okay in the group, what undergraduates can do is actually the teacher showing mercy Namely, do some hard work...how about you?"

They seldom make phone calls these days with love words like "miss you", "kiss" and "what's up". The little things in life, talk about what you did today, who you met, and if there is anything wrong...Under his guidance, Zhang Xinli would occasionally complain to him about some small disappointments.

Zhang Xinli replied: "Generally, every day when eating and going to class, the children get a headache from arguing."

In fact, what he taught were children in some interest classes. Most of them were elementary school students. Those who were obedient were fine, but those who were disobedient had to be coaxed... It was really annoying.

"Kids are like this, be patient," Lin Jinyu chatted with him, echoed some complaints, and asked, "How old are the children you are teaching today?"

Zhang Xinli said: "Today is for the newcomers. They are three or four years old. Their family is quite rich. Their parents probably don't bother to take care of them. They want to take an afternoon off and just throw it here as a nursery."

This should be the youngest one, and this age is the worst to bring. No wonder he said he had a headache.Lin Jinyu said: "I really can't imagine what it would be like for you to take care of a child... You use money to work, take care of it, you can serve as your own child."

"How can I have a child?" Zhang Xinli said, "You will give me one?"

...Why did it start to turn yellow while chatting? Lin Jinyu looked at the sporadically lit windows of the opposite building, and counterattacked casually: "...If you have the ability, you can do it."

He knew that Zhang Xinli was just joking, so he played it unscrupulously, and he didn't have to be responsible for it, who wouldn't.

"Oh," Zhang Xinli said, "OK."

"Anything is fine," Lin Jinyu smiled, "Do you want to raise a child?"

If the journey of two people together is made into a number axis, the origin is to establish a relationship and begin to fall in love, then the end point of the other end should be that both of them enter the palace of death, and the major marking points in the middle are marriage, buying a house and Raising children.

They have no way to get married, and they are not in a hurry to buy a house. It is not too late to think about it after working and saving enough money. As for raising children... Lin Jinyu himself doesn't care, but he thinks: Will Zhang Xinli really want to have a child of his own.

However, the two of them must not have children, or can they consider adopting one?But would Zhang Xinli mind if it wasn't his own... Then would he go to get married just to have a baby... Lin Jinyu began to think about it again, and sure enough Zhang Ailing said well, people always feel happy when they are close to happiness, When happiness is going on, you worry about gains and losses.

Zhang Xinli on the other end of the phone didn't know that he was struggling with irrelevant things here alone, so he just said, "I don't want to," he said, "I'm just joking, I don't like to take care of children, and I had too many of them when I was young."

"What kind of child did you bring with you when you were young, your brother?" Lin Jinyu said, "If you want to, you can consider adopting one."

"No, I don't want to," Zhang Xinli said, "Jinyu, do you want a child?"

"No, no, no," Lin Jinyu himself doesn't like children very much, they look okay from a distance, if he really wants to raise them himself, let's forget it, he quickly denied: "Not at all."

In fact, he and his father have the same personality in their bones. They like to be unrestrained, and they can live as they want. Raising children is not as simple as feeding them food and clothing. The growth of children requires parents to spend a lot of time and effort to accompany them. Without this Don't even think about sacrificing consciousness.

Lin Jinyu thought of his long and lonely childhood and adolescence. He had a good family and parents, but when he recalled those days now, he still felt that every page before Zhang Xinli's arrival was written with loneliness.

But there was nothing wrong with his dad, he was already better than most dads.

Lin Jinyu didn't want others to recall her own childhood, and she felt the same way.

"Since you have no idea, then you always ask this," Zhang Xinli said over there, "I thought you really wanted it."

"No, just share your views on major life issues," Lin Jinyu said, "I'm afraid you might mind this."

"I don't care," Zhang Xinli said, "I don't really want to bring it, but you can also consider it if you want... I'll listen to you."

Lin Jinyu was in a good mood coaxed by these four words, Zhang Xinli continued: "This birthday, will your parents come?"

"Don't come," Lin Jinyu said, "I didn't mention it, I just said that I will give five hundred more this month to bring my classmates to play."

Speaking of classmates... Zhang Xinli asked: "He hasn't left yet, how long will he stay?"

Lin Jinyu had told him about Wang Xiu long ago, probably because he couldn't think of a better solution, so Zhang Xinli didn't say anything, and only asked him when he was going to leave every now and then.

Lin Jinyu said: "I don't know yet." This is the truth: "It was really impossible to go back to the school dormitory, but the school hasn't started yet."

Zhang Xinli said leisurely: "So, how long do you plan to stay in the same room with him?"

"What are you sharing the same room with?" Lin Jinyu teased, "I sleep on the floor, how dare I sleep with another man behind your back."

"I know." Zhang Xinli didn't doubt him intellectually, but he still felt a little uncomfortable emotionally. He said, "I'll come over this weekend."

"This weekend?" Lin Jinyu was a little surprised: "Didn't it mean next week?"

"Changed," Zhang Xinli said, "Come over this week."

Lin Jinyu was eager to see him sooner, but...it seemed like he hadn't had time to prepare the gift. He was supposed to buy it a few days earlier, but was delayed by Wang Xiu.

Zhang Xinli asked, "Where do I live now? Did you tell Wang Xiu?"

Lin Jinyu said, "For now...not yet."

Zhang Xinli said, "Why didn't you tell him you have a boyfriend?"

"I don't care," Lin Jinyu said, "If you don't mind letting him know that you are gay, I'll tell him when I get in."

"..." As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xinli remained silent for a moment.

"I won't make the decision for you," Lin Jinyu said, "We're both adults, if you don't mind, let's discuss it together."

Zhang Xinli was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Don't wait, wait until I come to see."

"Okay... see you that weekend, bye." Lin Jinyu was not very happy seeing his avoidance, but he was not surprised. The environment Zhang Xinli grew up in was too closed and conservative.He ended the call peacefully and turned back to the house.

When he entered the door, he heard the sound of water in the bathroom. It should be that Wang Xiu was taking a bath. During the treatment, he paid great attention to hygiene and cleaned it several times a day.

Lin Jinyu turned around and closed the door, marked it on the calendar, and began to ponder whether to place an order to buy those shoes now... If I bought it, half of the living expenses would be reimbursed, and the remaining 2000 yuan would be enough for two people to use until the end of the month?

He was caught in a dilemma and was struggling when Wang Xiu's voice suddenly came through the door, saying that the shampoo was gone and asking if there was a new one.

"Yes," Lin Jinyu said directly without raising her head, "It's in the cabinet underneath, take it yourself."

There was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the bathroom, and after more than ten minutes, Wang Xiu came out.

Lin Jinyu was still debating whether to buy a gift now or to change to something cheaper. He casually told Wang Xiu to go to bed after washing, but Wang Xiu didn't move. He held the doorknob with one hand behind his back, but stared Looking at Lin Jinyu.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Lin Jinyu wondered, "Take a rest quickly, have you finished applying the medicine?"

"It's painted," Wang Xiu seemed a little hesitant to speak, but Lin Jinyu was so full of Zhang Xinli's birthday present that he didn't pay attention to his expression, and just said, "Oh, by the way, this week...a friend may be coming over. "

Zhang Xinli's attitude was the same as he thought, a bit ambiguous, and Lin Jinyu couldn't say it too clearly, so he wanted to make a vague sound first, in case he still didn't want to tell Wang Xiu in the end, there was also a change: "I will leave you some money at that time." , in case I don’t come back with my friends on weekends, you can buy some food with your own money.”

Wang Xiu looked at him and asked faintly, "...where did you meet your friend?"

"We'll talk about it at that time," Lin Jinyu said, "Let's go to sleep today."

He climbed out of the bed, dragged another set of quilts out of the cabinet and spread them according to the old rules these days, lay down on himself, and then looked at his phone.

Wang Xiu went to bed but didn't sleep, she whispered, "Turn off the air conditioner."

Lin Jinyu turned her back to him, without turning her head, said casually, "Just turn it on when you're hot."

He didn't pay attention to Wang Xiu at all, and when his back was turned to the other party, he couldn't even see Wang Xiu's figure from the corner of his eye, so he missed some kind of flashing light in Wang Xiu's eyes.

Wang Xiu grabbed her knee, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Whale, why are you so nice to me?"

"What?" Lin Jinyu's eyes did not leave the interface of the flagship store: "I didn't say that, we are all classmates, and no one has difficulties."

Wang Xiu still stared blankly at his back, and said, "I... when I took the shampoo..."

"What about the shampoo?" Lin Jinyu asked, "No new ones? I remember it."

Indeed, but when Wang Xiu took it, he found some other things...Those things may not be recognized by others, but he is very familiar with them, but he is hesitating whether to tell them...Maybe... Lin Jinyu let him see them on purpose?To hint at something that is not easy to say...

He was still deliberating. Lin Jinyu waited for a long time without seeing him speak, so he didn't care about the rest of the story, and said, "I'll go buy it tomorrow, and go to bed today. Let me know if it's hot or cold in your place."

Wang Xiu nodded, Lin Jinyu got up and turned off the light, and the room was plunged into darkness.

The old wall-mounted air conditioner hummed when it was running. Lin Jinyu put a small blanket on her waist, turned her back to Wang Xiu and turned off her cell phone. She closed her eyes and thought about how to spend the weekend with Zhang Xinli, while Wang Xiu lay facing him. Looking at her, her eyes are complex, sometimes like a dog, sometimes like a cat.
