God said I would meet you

Lin Ye has quite a personality. Although he has known him for a long time, Lin Jinyu has always been uncertain about the personality of this gay senior who doesn't know who is three, four or five years older than him.

When we first met, he seemed polite and personable, like some young gentleman, but when you get to know him, you will find that he is lazy and frivolous at the same time.

Lin Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard his name, and then he was as surprised as seeing a western scene: "...Lin Jinyu?"

The two said at the same time, "Why are you here?"

……

"I've been here all the time." Lin Ye adjusted his appearance a little: "This is my alma mater. I've been staying here all this time."

"I've been here too...delivering food," Lin Jinyu said, "I've been to this building several times. Your neighbor ordered rice rolls the day before yesterday."

Both of them had a good impression of each other, and they were a little delighted to meet acquaintances. Lin Ye wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to invite him out for a meal, but he didn't wash or comb his hair in the shower. ——

The boy who took the takeaway before was still standing behind and watching them, probably not understanding what happened.

"Forget it," Lin Ye stepped back and said, "Come in and sit for a while?"

Lin Jinyu was quite curious about his recent situation, and the boy also said, "You two know each other? What a coincidence, come in and sit?"

The three entered the room just like that, and Lin Jinyu saw a blanket on the sofa, a broken bowl and a puddle of gruel spilled on the floor.

"...I'm sorry," Lin Ye said, "I broke it, I'll clean it up right away."

After some cleaning, Lin Ye went in and washed his face, then came out and said, "Why are you delivering food and experiencing life?"

"No," Lin Jinyu replied, "to make money."

"Do you still need to care about these three melons and two dates?" Lin Ye leaned on the back of the sofa, looking very puzzled: "It won't be like in a dog blood novel, the family is in trouble, right?"

"My family is not in the right place, but I am in the middle of it." Lin Jinyu glanced at the boy beside him and said, "...I came out."

The words light and fluttering express many things. Lin Ye's face changed, and his laziness and casualness disappeared. After a moment of silence, he said, "That's it...that's good. Congratulations to your parents for finally knowing the real you."

"My dad should think he's in bad luck." Lin Jinyu smiled: "Haven't you graduated for a long time? Why are you still in Shanghai?"

Lin Ye raised his eyebrows, and said, "My dad is the same... The latter question is a long story."

"Changed jobs again, right?" Lin Jinyu guessed reasonably, "It's good. It's not all about money. Do something you like."

"That's not the case, I'm poor too," Lin Ye said, "It's different now."

"What, what happened?" Lin Jinyu remembered that Lin Ye seemed to be quite rich, but now he has been tortured by the rent in Shanghai. When Lin Ye was in college, he lived alone outside. Art, and the rent is the whole rent. If you want to come from a well-to-do family, how can you say "poor": "Speaking of which, you were not..." He glanced at the boy sitting opposite: "...the one who used to... ..."

I don't know if it is appropriate to ask some questions now. Lin Ye probably saw what he meant, and introduced: "Don't think too much, this is my junior."

The boy said: "Yes, hello."

"Ah, so," Lin Jinyu felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry."

"Don't mention it," Lin Ye seemed a little annoyed. He took out the cigarette case from his pocket and said, "You want one too?"

Since the inventory was emptied, Lin Jinyu hadn't smoked for a long time because he had no money. He was actually a little ready to move, but he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I finally quit for a while."

Forget it, Lin Ye lit a cigarette himself, took a few puffs, and asked, "Why quit smoking, your family doesn't like it?"

Lin Jinyu hasn't formally asked Zhang Xinli about this question. He only knows that Zhang Xinli doesn't like the smell of cigarettes in his mouth when kissing, but he hasn't really interfered with his smoking: "No, just... save living expenses."

"Is the situation so serious?" Lin Ye asked, "Is the situation so serious?"

"Who says it's not?" Lin Jinyu sized him up, "I can't get rid of the pot."

Lin Ye used to like to wear some British brands of clothes, such as Burberry, PaulSmith, etc. Lin Jinyu noticed that this time the collar of his shirt was a little yellow, and the workmanship was not very good. It might cost 50 yuan a piece if it was exhausted.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Lin Ye said, "Everyone, each other, the world is tricking people... Are you living by delivering food now?"

"Almost," Lin Jinyu said, "It's hard work to make money, how about you?"

"I don't want to do anything," Lin Ye said, "I just lost my job, and now I'm very unstable. I'm working with others, and I can do whatever I can... Recently, I'm going to buy a batch of flowers and sell them."

???

Lin Jinyu was puzzled as to why she switched careers to start a business: "Is it possible? Flowers are not easy to preserve, and it is easy to lose money."

"Do it not often, and make quick money," Lin Ye said, "You forgot, 520 immediately."

Lin Jinyu is no longer that male college student who doesn’t need to worry about anything other than listening to lectures, reading books, and playing games every day. He has been struggling to survive for a long time, and the glamorous, romantic, petty bourgeois or bourgeois cloak that originally belonged to his life seems to have begun. It gradually faded, and before Lin Ye mentioned it, he was completely unaware of the arrival of this very popular festival among young lovers.

"I see," Lin Jinyu asked, "How much can I earn?"

"I don't have big money, but small money is enough," Lin Ye said: "I booked all the low-end red roses in several flower shops, and found some juniors and girls in the school who are willing to do part-time flower sales, and give them a share, and they earn money. It's up to me to earn more or less, and if it goes well, I can get four figures."

On days like Valentine's Day and Qixi Festival, red roses are expensive, Lin Jinyu said to herself: And this hand, why didn't I think of using the right time and place to make money at all, does business really depend on talent?Why do I seem to have not inherited it at all?

"You really know how to use your brain," Lin Jinyu said: "We are so poor now, I want to sell it after hearing what you say."

"I've ordered all the flower shops in the school area," Lin Ye said, "Maybe you can go to other places to ask... It's only a few days away from 520, it may be difficult to buy low-priced ones...or even cheaper. Oops, I'm not the only one who wants to use the festival to earn some pocket money, and I don't think I can buy it anymore."

Lin Jinyu really didn't know how to do business. Lin Ye muttered and asked, "Is it really so short of money? Are you the only one selling it?"

"I don't have the energy to make things big like you," Lin Jinyu said, "I'm the only one who sells, and I'm satisfied if I can make a hundred dollars a night."

After all, it’s only 80 yuan for washing dishes and wrinkled skin.

"One hundred is not enough, you are too underestimating the spending power of couples," Lin Ye thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, I will give you some, do you have the capital, you can get some from me... But Let me tell you first, there won’t be many, and you won’t be able to sell out if there are too many.”

This is really a reincarnated Bodhisattva. Lin Jinyu originally planned to snuff out the budding idea when he heard him say that, but gave up directly, but unexpectedly turned around.

"Thank you, thank you," he said without thinking about anything else, "I really don't know how to thank you."

"Small things, I don't give them to you for nothing," Lin Ye said, "It's easy for friends to do."

After the two confirmed their initial intention and exchanged some other things, Lin Jinyu stood up and said goodbye.

……

In the room at night.

After Lin Jinyu came back from washing the dishes, he took a shower at the speed of light to get rid of the smell of barbecue on his body, and then lay down on the bed pretending to be leisurely. While waiting for Zhang Xinli to come back, he checked his account balance. It's better for Ye to take as many flowers as possible.

He has no experience at all, and he has no idea how many flowers can be sold during the festival. It should be thirty or forty?Or... fifty or sixty?I don't know at all.

Lin Jinyu was very careful in his assumptions, for fear of making too many assumptions. The low-quality red roses before the festival were not too expensive, and the cost was enough anyway. It all depended on how confident he was in his salesmanship.

The hour hand pointed to twelve o'clock, and Zhang Xinli came back not long after Lin Jinyu went to bed. There was a familiar soft sound of the door lock, and Lin Jinyu quickly lay down a little more relaxed, thinking about how to tell him about it.

"Not asleep yet?" Zhang Xinli opened the door and came in: "I didn't see the light, so I thought you were asleep."

"Waiting for you," Lin Jinyu said, "It's summer, take the time to change the quilt."

"It's still early, it's still June." Zhang Xinli lifted the quilt and got into bed, and asked, "You can't sleep, can you?"

"Fortunately," Lin Jinyu said, "I took the medicine."

"Medicine is not a panacea," Zhang Xinli said, "If you..."

Lin Jinyu said: "'If you feel bad, you must tell me', I see, you have said it eight hundred... no, eight thousand times."

"..." Zhang Xinli said, "Oh, memorizing the full text is useless, I hope you will keep it in mind."

Don't blame him for nagging, Lin Jinyu's performance last time was really bad, she obviously felt that it was terrible, but she kept it to herself.

Perhaps two people living together will really influence each other, Zhang Xinli gradually talked more, Lin Jinyu learned to hold back instead.

After taking the medicine, she was not very energetic. Lin Jinyu moved towards him and looked up at him. With just one look, Zhang Xinli understood, leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips, which was very gentle and comforting.

Lin Jinyu felt better, as if the dopamine had indeed been secreted by a few tenths of a microgram. Zhang Xinli put his arms around him, and stroked his neck with the other hand.

"...Do you want to do it?" Lin Jinyu remembered that there was something else to tell him.

"No," Zhang Xinli said, "hug for a while."

The two of them cuddled up to each other in the early summer night, Lin Jinyu said: "By the way, I have something to tell you - I ran into Lin Ye when I was delivering food."

And because of chatting with him, I forgot that there was still an order not delivered, so I was fined ten yuan for overtime.

It's this name again, they had quarreled over it when they were in a long-distance relationship, now they think about what's the big deal, what are they arguing about, it's a waste of time together.

"Oh," Zhang Xinli said blankly, "So?"

"So in a few days on May [-]th, please allow me to go out and sell flowers."

"?"

What and what, did not understand.

Lin Jinyu poured beans into the bamboo tube, and said his plan in a hurry. He thought that Zhang Xinli would object, but the other party said: "Yes, there is nothing to object to. Valentine's Day flowers are very good. Remember to go to places with many people. Generally, you can find the right ones." If you have a place, you won’t lose money.”

They have no big capital, no time, and no graduation certificates. If they can earn one point, it is one point. Lin Jinyu reminded: "I bought these flowers from Lin Ye."

"Lin Ye is Lin Ye," Zhang Xinli said, "Aren't you pure friends?"

"Yes," Lin Jinyu said, "Only the two of us are impure... That day happened to be Friday, do you have a day off at night, why don't you come with me?"

Zhang Xinli glanced at the calendar: "You can apply for a time off, okay, if you are busy, I will help. If I am not busy, I can still deliver supper."

It sounded like a perfect plan, so everything was settled. Lin Jinyu settled down and thought: Although I can't go out for a romantic trip like before, this can be counted as spending 520 together.
