God said I would meet you

Lin Jinyu looked at his expression as if swearing to Chairman Mao, held the spatula, and turned back suspiciously.Zhang Xinli suspected that if he went up to hug him at this time, he would probably slap his face with the shovel soaked in hot oil.

"Can you cook?" He kept a normal social distance from Lin Jinyu a few steps away, and said, "When will you?"

"呲啦" There was a sound of the dishes being cooked, Lin Jinyu turned his back to Zhang Xinli, turned the emerald green cabbage, and wrote lightly, "After you leave."

With Zhang Xinli gone, there was no one to cook for him anymore, and he couldn't afford to eat takeaway, so he had to learn cooking, the most basic skill for independent living.

"I remember you said before..." Zhang Xinli tried to find something to talk about: "It's okay if you don't know how to cook, just find a nanny."

Lin Ye said that he should talk as much as possible and remind him of the good times in the past, so that it is possible for Lin Jinyu to have the idea of ​​being together again.

"It's okay if you don't know how to cook, the big deal is to find a babysitter" is the imagination of life that 15-year-old Lin Jinyu once said for granted. Now, 23-year-old Lin Jinyu said: "Childish, let's say less than three thousand a month. Where did the spare money come from?"

The topic ended, and Zhang Xinli failed to strike up a conversation.He didn't know what topic to look for to bring back Lin Jinyu's fond memories of his past life. Those beautiful days they had spent together, where are they?

When the cabbage was out of the pot, Lin Jinyu put it aside, and while cracking eggs into the pot, he said, "Today I'm busy helping Zhou Hui pack things, I didn't buy any vegetables, so I scrambled an egg to make do with it."

Zhang Xinli wanted to praise him a few words, so he racked his brains and said, "Well, you are so amazing, you can actually scramble eggs."

"..." The corner of Lin Jinyu's mouth twitched, and he said, "If you have nothing to say, you don't have to say it."

"..."

Zhang Xinli really wanted to find a topic, but he really didn't seem to know how to find a topic.Just when he didn't know what to do, a series of dog barks suddenly came from Lin Jinyu's room in the back room.

Lin Jinyu, who had just said "please keep silent, thank you for your cooperation", immediately asked, "What's wrong with it? Why did it suddenly bark?"

Zhang Xinli was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I don't know, I... will go and have a look."

"Let's go together," Lin Jinyu turned the spatula over and over again, added salt, scrambled the eggs, put them on a plate and put them on the table, and said, "Don't get stuck somewhere."

After finishing speaking, he didn't even wait for Zhang Xinli to turn around, and walked into the room first, which was in stark contrast to the previous "dog ignores" attitude.Zhang Xinli looked at his back thoughtfully.

The heating in the back room was steaming, Lin Jinyu pushed open the door, and saw a yellow bubble of urine on the smooth porcelain floor tiles, and the culprit was standing beside him stretching his neck, walking around the bubble of urine with short dog legs, dog nose Can't stop sniffing.

"What are you doing!" Lin Jinyu strode in. Zhang Xinli thought that the dog peed in his room and made him very unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'll just take it outside."

Just kidding, I came here to get back together, how could I make a mistake and do something that made Lin Jinyu unhappy.

however--

I saw Lin Jinyu walking over in three or two steps, and regardless of the fact that the dog's paws were still stained with urine, she held the dog under its armpit and hugged the dog, saying to herself: "Little thing, what do you smell? Wet."

For many people, pets are only cute when they are clean and cute. Zhang Xinli was afraid that he would dislike him, so he said again: "I'll get it out, I didn't expect it to pee here."

"It's not normal for a puppy to urinate in a new place." To his surprise, Lin Jinyu didn't show any disgust, and said, "What are you doing standing there? Go to the toilet and get a towel to wipe it clean."

"Okay," Zhang Xinli received the instruction, exited the room and went to the bathroom: "Which one?"

"There are new ones in the cabinet, so just grab one." Lin Jinyu was busy looking to see if the dog had urine in other places: "It's on sale, buy one get one free, so I just stocked up a few."

Zhang Xinli came back with a towel according to the order, squatted down to wipe it off, but Lin Jinyu took it very naturally, as if the dog was not Zhang Xinli's but his.

"When you go out, prepare something for it, such as a peeing mat, so that it knows where to pee." He said, not thinking the dog was dirty, and wiped it clean in twos or twos.

Zhang Xinli believes that he is indeed not the type of person who "says he likes dogs, but only likes sweet-smelling pet dogs. If he is licked by a dirty dog, he will bark wildly and then rush to the toilet to wash his hands like crazy."

"Close it to the toilet," he said, "eat first."

"I'm squatting here. The dog is so small, what should I do if it falls in?" Lin Jinyu said, "Put it in the living room. When was the last time you fed it?"

It was rare for him to take the initiative to ask Zhang Xinli a question. Zhang Xinli seized the opportunity and said obediently, "It's one o'clock in the afternoon. After feeding the leftovers, you eat first, and then just pour the leftovers to it after eating."

"Leftovers from fast food?" Lin Jinyu opened his eyes as big as a bull's-eye: "No wonder there are tear stains, and the hair is not beautiful. Don't feed people to dogs."

"Then what are you feeding?" Zhang Xinli said, "Isn't everyone feeding like this?"

"Cats and dogs eat too much salt and lose their hair, and their kidneys are prone to damage," Lin Jinyu said, "Why don't you know this?"

"Wow..." Zhang Xinli originally wanted to say, 'how could he be so delicate', but he was just a dog, what would he eat if he didn't eat leftovers, but he stopped halfway, swallowed it himself, and said, "Okay, you're right right."

"..." Seeing his expression, Lin Jinyu didn't seem to think that he was right, and thought to himself: If you are obedient, you must be a dog if you complain in your heart, I am poor and fastidious.

This dog belongs to Zhang Xinli. Although he has the final say on how to raise it, Lin Jinyu feels that the scientific truth should be explained to him clearly: "Cats and dogs have different needs for salt than humans. Many things that people can eat and dogs can't." eat."

"What are some things?" Zhang Xinli said, "Actually, we feed leftovers there, and they all grow very well."

"There is a word called survivor bias. I understand that you are basically fed as livestock, but if you eat too much salt, the hair is dark and tear-stained. How can you say that they all grow well. You have never seen a dog that grows well."

"Survivor deviation, what do you mean?" Zhang Xinli found out that Lin Jinyu was willing to talk to him when talking about dogs and giving him science literacy, so he said, "Teach me how to raise them."

"There's no such thing as teaching," Lin Jinyu said as the dog walked back and forth between the two of them, not knowing what to do.

And then - blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...

It was 10 minutes after these two simple sentences were finished. This may be the most time Lin Jinyu took the initiative to talk to him in n months. Zhang Xinli seemed to be a preschooler who listened carefully, and said, "Remember."

It looked funny and cute, as if echoing his words, the two-month-old puppy licked Lin Jinyu's hand flatteringly, and the fluffy ball made Lin Jinyu in a good mood, even with Zhang Xinli. It's not so unpleasant anymore.

An immature dog seems to be a buffer and a small bridge between them.He said: "Okay, you go to eat, I will come as soon as I drag the floor."

"Together," Zhang Xinli said, "help you."

The relationship between Lin Jinyu and Zhou Hui is just ordinary roommates. The two rent together. Of course, the housework is divided fifty-fifty. There is no one who wants to help him.Zhang Xinli saw him go to the bathroom to get a mop, collect water, drain water, and mop the floor in a one-stop process, and he followed behind but didn't put his hand in at all.

"Okay," Lin Jinyu quickly put the mop away, walked to the kitchen, and said, "I told you to eat first, and then I walked around the street."

"I want to help you," Zhang Xinli stood beside him and said, "You don't need it anymore."

Lin Jinyu seemed to pause for a moment because of this sentence, but it was only for a short moment. He took a bowl of rice and said, "I didn't need it before, I'm lazy."

Cooking and housework are actually not difficult or high-tech tasks. You don’t need any masters, and you can learn them quickly by yourself. Lin Jinyu was happy as a shopkeeper before, but it’s just that she didn’t have a rigid need.Lin Ye was right, he was very lucky to have someone follow him and accompany him no matter what.

Even though it had something to do with how he behaved, he was still lucky.

Zhang Xinli tactfully ignored this sentence, he took the bowl from Lin Jinyu's hand, and the two of them just like before, one served the meal and the other served the dishes, and sat at the coffee table in the living room to finish dinner.

It may be that there are familiar people around. The puppy brought by Zhang Xinli doesn't recognize the stranger at all. After eating a few lumps of white rice, he starts to have fun in the house.Lin Jinyu was going to point Zhang Xinli to the room where Zhou Hui lived, and then go back to her own place, lock the door and keep them away from each other, but the dog kept running around the room, looking here and there, and scolding every room. As soon as Lin Jinyu closed the door, it would whine outside the door and scratch the door, looking aggrieved, pitiful and dissatisfied. Lin Jinyu was a little soft-hearted, thinking that it would be bad for the neighbors to disturb her, so she didn't close the door.

The rented house did not pull the network cable. Zhang Xinli sat in the living room and was quiet for a while, giving Lin Jinyu and himself some buffer time.

The hour hand is moving forward little by little. This is a crucial night. Lin Jinyu only agrees to let him sleep for one night, and buy a ticket to leave tomorrow morning. Whether there will be a second night depends on the remaining ten hours In his performance.

He thought about the words in his mind, then took a deep breath, got up, pretended to follow the dog, and walked into Lin Jinyu's room.

The portable desk lamp cast a slightly dazzling white light, and Zhang Xinli's footsteps were very light. Lin Jinyu thought it was a dog coming in again, and turned her head to tease the dog with a smile on her face, but when she looked up, she saw a certain man, she immediately put away her smile, and turned around without interest , then read the book, said: "What are you doing here, I thought it was a dog."

The puppy twisted its buttocks to rub against his leg, Lin Jinyu reached down and scratched its chin, and said very pleasantly: "Good boy." The face change became like a magic trick.

Zhang Xinli looked at his earrings reflecting the light and thought to himself: He treats dogs better than me.

Lin Jinyu smiled at the puppy he brought over, a smile that Zhang Xinli hadn't seen for a long time.

He even thought: If he can smile at me like that again, it's not impossible to be a puppy.
