God said I would meet you

Although Xu Zhao is a typical dead straight man, he is not a fool.

After the initial bewilderment passed, he quickly felt that the atmosphere between Lin Jinyu and Zhang Xinli was different from the last time they met.

Fa Xiao, who was originally full of vigor and was curious about everything new, suddenly seemed to talk a lot less, and his whole spirit was different.

"Don't sleep, I have to go to work, you stay with him for a while, don't go out if you have nothing to do."

Early in the morning, when Xu Zhao was still asleep, he was awakened by rustling noises. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Xinli's huge figure covering him, which almost shocked him.

Xu Zhao didn't go home yesterday, nor did he go out to live. He was so sleepy at night that he fell asleep before Zhang Xinli came back from get off work. At this moment, he and Lin Jinyu were occupying one side of the bed, lying upright.

A gloomy sky could be seen through the gap in the curtains. Xu Zhao slept on the outside, watching Zhang Xinli step over him barefoot with a hot towel in one hand, pull Lin Jinyu over by his shoulders, and forcefully wipe him Face.

In this room, the bed was placed by the window. Lin Jinyu was lying on his side, sleeping peacefully under the window sill. When he touched him like this, he immediately became restless, and just wanted to break away from physical contact with him.

Xu Zhao watched with sleepy eyes, Lin Jinyu resisted very clearly, that action was not like a flirting between lovers, but a real repulsion, his frown was so small that he could pinch him to death Mosquito, almost slapped Zhang Xinli again.

...just doesn't feel right.

"I know you've woken up a long time ago." Fortunately, Zhang Xinli flashed past this time. He knew the way, ignored the other party's resistance, and forcibly wiped the sweat on Lin Jinyu's neck and back, with the usual expression on his face: "Awake!" Get up and move around, don't lie down."

If she didn't care about it at all, Lin Jinyu could really lie on the bed for a whole day with her eyes open, neither eating nor drinking nor going to the bathroom.

Xu Zhao slept in a mess and watched them finish the routine game that happened every morning in a daze.Lin Jinyu didn't talk to him at all, and Zhang Xinli left after wiping, without staying for a moment.

"You two... quarreled?" He was very puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Why is it like a war so early in the morning?"

Lin Jinyu didn't speak, Xu Zhao asked again, this time, the other party shouted loudly as if his tail had been stepped on: "Shut up, can you stop asking?!"

???

This was too exciting, which play was sung, Xu Zhao trembled a little from his yelling, shut up, and whispered to him to go wash with him.

Today, the little cousin has something to do and won’t come in the morning. There is a bag of authentic fried rice on the tea table. Xu Zhao hasn’t eaten it for a long time. Just thinking about this, he saw the browned and fragrant crispy bottom with his index finger moving. The matter of being yelled at just now was thrown out of the blue. He asked Lin Jinyu to sit down and said, "Fried in muddy water! Whale, eat and drink with your light today, thank you first, come and eat, come and eat."

Zhang Xinli was changing shoes at the door, he opened the door, glanced back at the two of them who were in perfect harmony at the dinner table, and left.

……

Xu Zhao always eats very delicious food, which is very contagious. Lin Jinyu knew that he didn't know about his abnormality, and didn't want him to know, so he ate as much as possible under his invitation.After eating, Xu Zhao wiped his mouth and said, "Long time no see, let's go out for a walk, Lujiazui has opened several new stores, let's go and see, Disney's new movie is very popular, or go to Disney Shopping? I just don’t know if there are any tickets.”

No matter what big foreign brands want to enter and open stores, or old brands want to launch new ones, Shanghai is always the first to try new ones, and this city always has new things.Although Zhang Xinli had just told him not to go out, it was obvious—Xu Zhao was used to going in his left ear and out of his right ear, so he didn't take it seriously.

"I won't..." How could Lin Jinyu want to go out, but before he finished speaking, Xu Zhao said, "Aren't you going? Then what am I doing here, just sleeping on your bed?"

Now they each have their own life plans. They are no longer the children who lived in the same compound, went to and from school every day, and walked around the world together as long as they finished their homework. They only saw such a few times a year. , There may be fewer chances to meet in the future.

Every meeting is precious, Lin Jinyu thought for a while: It seems...it seems...probably...maybe...it's really inappropriate?

Xu Zhao stepped up his fire and said, "I finally took a vacation and went all the way across the country to find you to play with. It's too unreasonable for your uncle not to show face. Hurry up and slip away."

"..."

……

This was Lin Jinyu's first time going out in so many days.

Clouds piled up in the sky, and the weather outside was not too good, but it was still far brighter than a room with poor lighting and poor ventilation. Xu Zhao took a taxi straight to the central business district as soon as he got downstairs, and took him to the newly opened several shopping.

A few years have passed, and the shops in many places have been replaced. The old ones fell down, and the new ones opened again. strangeness.

This is the city he grew up in, and he actually felt it was unfamiliar. Lin Jinyu belatedly discovered that although he had been back to his hometown for half a year, when he and Zhang Xinli were together, most of the time they could only talk to the desolate suburbs, Stuck in cramped alleys, damp old neighborhoods and dark corners of bustling cities, Lin Jinyu would have never even had the chance to realize that there are so many cramped, damp, musty and sewer-smelling places in Shanghai taste of the road.

It seemed that he hadn't been to these places he used to frequent for a long time.

Boys' shopping is very simple and rough. Xu Zhao thought it was troublesome, so he didn't bring many changes of clothes back. Now he just buys the clothes, pants and shoes that look good, and doesn't try much - he treats things in the same way as Lin Jinyu, all Like it, no price.

Lin Jinyu used to be "like-minded" with him. No matter whether they went to a physical store or online shopping, they didn't care about the price when they entered the payment password. However, this time is different. The AirPods that were lost were all ready. When I looked back at Lin Jinyu, I found that he was empty-handed and hadn't bought anything.

"?" Xu Zhao said, "Why are you acting like you're watching a play? You don't want this or that."

Now Lin Jinyu is actually not short of money - he secretly sold his shoes, the good mobile phone he bought before he came out, and the good mobile phone he bought later, and the models he bought on a whim.

A few days ago, he paid the utility bill without telling Zhang Xinli. The money was not spent, and there was still a lot left, but he had no intention of using it—he didn't want to use it, and he didn't dare to use it.

"...not interested," Lin Jinyu said, "Just buy it if you like it, and leave me alone."

Xu Zhao thought that he didn't need anything and had no plans to buy anything, so he didn't say anything at first, until the two of them had been out for too long and their mouths were tasteless, so they went to buy cold drinks.

Xu Zhao originally wanted to go directly to the store and order some ice cream, but Lin Jinyu said that he didn't want to go to a crowded place, so he made the next best thing and planned to buy a popsicle casually.

Although it’s not yet time for ice cream to be launched on a large scale, as a commercial street with a huge traffic flow, there are still many shops selling popsicles and cold drinks. Both Xu Zhao and Lin Jinyu are the masters of eating without looking at the season, not to mention spring, it is winter They also eat as well, and even feel better.

At that time, although Zhong Xuegao hadn’t come out of his mother’s womb, there were already many types of popsicles in Shanghai, and the imported ones were extremely expensive. Xu Zhao took one of his usual favorites and was about to go to check out with Lin Jinyu. It turned out that he actually had the intention of not buying anything.

"No way." After walking for so long, he couldn't believe that Lin Jinyu wasn't thirsty at all: "Whale, why are you fasting here?"

Lin Jinyu looked at the big cabinet full of colorful and beautifully packaged ice cream, and said, "It's too expensive, I won't eat it."

Xu Zhao glanced at the suggested retail price, and it was only a dozen yuan: "Isn't it? How much is this?!"

Lin Jinyu, who once bought an 80 yuan box of ice cream in a scenic spot without blinking an eye to try it out, and felt that it was unreasonable for Zhang Xinli to mention that he spent a lot of money, said: "It's too expensive."

"..." Xu Zhao said, "Pick one, and I'll treat you to it."

"No," Lin Jinyu said, "I haven't paid back the hundreds I owed you last time."

He was referring to the fact that Xu Zhao helped them pay the supermarket bill when they first returned to Shanghai, but Xu Zhao had completely forgotten about it.

The willow tree in the opposite park was drooping with new branches. He looked at Lin Jinyu and said, "You two have changed a lot."

"There are so many." Lin Jinyu didn't understand what he meant, so Xu Zhao put the popsicles he had picked out and said, "It's just changed."

"I don't think so," Lin Jinyu thought he had noticed something, and was saying that he had become negative, so he didn't want to continue this topic: "I don't want to talk about this."

"Don't frown, what's wrong with you, you haven't been so disrespectful before," Xu Zhao said, "I don't mean it's getting worse or getting better, it's just that it's changed."

He said: "I don't know how to say it, just...yesterday, today, I feel that Zhang Xinli is different from before. I remember that his worst thing is Chinese, and he doesn't like reading. As a result, this time he has been carrying two books in his bag." Books, I always carry them when I go out to work... I am not peeping, I saw it by accident, and I will see him holding it when I have time."

Zhang Xinli doesn't like to read because he can't read. He can only see the surface and lack the consciousness of deep thinking. It is like reading "Water Margin" and knowing that it expresses the author's rebellious spirit and some political dissatisfaction. If no one reminds him, he will It can only be seen that one hundred and five men and three women were calling.

Lin Jinyu said, "Oh."

He knew what Zhang Xinli was reading, that is, the two books he borrowed from the library for him to read, The Moon on Maugham's Worst Street and Yu Hua's "To Live". sixpence.

Those two books are not big at all, not very obscure and profound, they are just popular novels. Normally, they would be finished in a month, but it has been more than half a year, and Zhang Xinli is still studying it like a "sacred book". , the pages of the book are going to be torn, right?

"There is also the aspect of temper... not only him, but also you." Xu Zhao said something more: "Just now, even in the room, look at your attitude, from yesterday to now, I feel that it is a quarrel, You're a little too much of that, too."

His language organization ability is not very good, Lin Jinyu heard the general idea.

"Anyway...it feels like both of you have changed a lot," Xu Zhao scratched his hair, "I don't know if I can express it clearly, it's not that things have changed, but that you have changed because of each other... Fuck, What a fucking Xiaoyan, that’s what it means.”

He said: "I remember before, didn't I throw away his test paper, just for this little thing, the next day he looked like he was going to beat me to death, and then I didn't play tricks, and I lost again in 1V1, good guy For a long time after that, he found fault with me...he detoured whenever he saw him."

"?" Lin Jinyu didn't know this at all. He recalled in a daze that he was sandwiched between the two of them back then, carefully mediating, and telling Zhang Xinli not to take it seriously after he was bullied, and not to be as familiar with Xu Zhao... Feelings were perfunctory in front of him For a moment, behind the back is "revenge must be retaliated", an eye for an eye.

No wonder once when Xu Zhao was talking to him carefully, when he saw Zhang Xinli came back, he turned his face and ran away like a rabbit seeing a hawk.

"It's like a different person now," Xu Zhao said, "Although I've only been here for a while, there are a few times when I've watched it and it's really quite interesting."

He has only been here for more than 30 hours, and he has secretly watched Zhang Xinli do his best for him many times, and Lin Jinyu frowns coldly... Although it is not too obvious, the atmosphere really exists.

"I'll just say don't be unhappy," Xu Zhao said, "It's a little too much."

Although the reasons behind this are complicated, bystanders can't see the whole situation, and the only information they can get from the clip is: Zhang Xinli compromises, he goes too far.

Lin Jinyu didn't interrupt him, but just kept silent.

He remembered that he had slapped him hard that day, but Zhang Xinli didn't fight back at all, and didn't even show any displeasure, just slapped him like that.

He didn't want to hit him, but at that moment, he couldn't help being disappointed, sad, and resentful.

I regretted it later, but what has happened cannot be changed.
