Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin

Chi Xiaochi sat in the snack street opposite the gate of a public middle school, eating spicy skewers with top-quality XO taken out of the warehouse.

The 14-year-old Chi Xiaochi already has the height of a high school student. The low plastic table of the spicy skewer stall is a bit restrictive for him, and his legs, which have no place to rest, have to be hooked diagonally to the sides of the chair.

His hair was recently shaved, and he smelled a little of lemon soap, and he sat in the greasy, hot air like a refreshing breeze.

People passing by, no matter men or women, couldn't help but look at him more, suspecting that they had seen the wrong eye.

After seeing it clearly, I couldn't help being secretly surprised.

Chi Xiaochi has the ability to filter human eyesight and treat everyone as Chinese cabbage, so he ignored all inquiring or amazed sights, and only drank his wine by himself.

Needless to say, the name "Chi Xiaochi" is enough for him to know what happened.

...the main god threw them into the parallel world.

If the existence of each world is likened to strings, the parallel world is two strings that are infinitely close to each other, resonate in the same tone, and are almost identical.

The first world line that Chi Xiaochi experienced was already quite close to the original world.

In that world line, there are Xingyun Entertainment, Beiman Cemetery, and even Song Zhihuai whom Chi Xiaochi knew, but there are still many significant differences. For example, in that world, Lou Ying did not die.

According to what Lou Ying said, as the difficulty of the task increases, Chi Xiaochi will only get farther and farther away from the original world line.

Unexpectedly, after passing through nine worlds, he finally returned to a world infinitely similar to the origin.

He raised his hand to caress his clean cut hair.

The hair is freshly shaved, and the short stubble feels very comfortable to the touch, like a little hedgehog that has just sprouted soft thorns.

Time has passed so long that Chi Xiaochi has forgotten that when he was a child, he didn't like to have long hair.

With long hair, he finds it too hot and not manly enough.

Chi Xiaochi couldn't help thinking, why did he want to have long hair later?

By the third glass of wine, he finally remembered.

Long hair was the first filming, Sun Lao asked him to keep, the purpose is to fit the character image.

In his debut novel, he played the role of a left-behind boy who grew up in a small fishing village. He had seen the colorful world outside when he was young, but was sent back to his hometown by his parents. Clothes, hairstyles, conversations, etc., all strive to be incompatible with the world around them.

Long hair was one of the ways the fishing village boy fought against his small world.

Afterwards, Chi Xiaochi kept his hair long.

The reason is different from that of the fishing village boy, but it is also simple: it is easy to play.

If the plot requires him to shave short hair, he will shave it; if he needs to grow long hair, he can also play directly, and the effect is better than wearing a wig.

Just like forgetting the reason to grow long hair, Chi Xiaochi has forgotten so many things that he doesn't know how to act as his original self.

Sitting on a road stall full of sand and rusticity, he filled a disposable plastic cup with amber liquid, while tasting the wine, he called out the world line by himself, and quietly read.

The original owner Chi Xiaochi, 14 years old.

My father was a worker in a toothbrush factory, and my mother, who also worked in the toothbrush factory, became a female worker in a small food workshop after being part of the wave of laid-off workers.

This couple is a negative example of the development of modern marriage.

Because she was pregnant with Chi Xiaochi, two men and women who didn't want to be responsible very much and were not good at being responsible got married, gave the child a very perfunctory name, and perfunctorily allowed him to grow wildly.

So since childhood, Chi Xiaochi didn't like to stay at home.

He is willing to walk for an afternoon on the abandoned railway tracks near Tongzilou, until his body is inlaid with the aura of colorful clouds and sunset.

When he was a child, Chi Xiaochi was romantic, sensitive, full of unrealistic fantasies in his head, coupled with his outstanding appearance, he looked like a little monster born in the wrong place in a tube building shrouded in oily smoke all year round.

Until one day, he waited for another little monster who was two years older than him.

Lou Ying, whose parents both died in an accident, moved into her aunt's house, which happened to be downstairs from Chi Xiaochi's house.

Chi Xiaochi fell in love with this brother immediately, and took the initiative to knock on his door, saying hello and striking up a conversation with the cheek.

Soon, the little monster and the little monster were playing together.

In Chi Xiaochi's words: "Good-looking people should play with good-looking people."

He and Lou Ying grew up together like this.

The word "grow up together" feels very light when you are in it. Only when you think about it after many years, can you feel the different, heavy and joyful taste.

They eat ice cream together, raise a blind little stray dog ​​together, and play games together.

Lou Ying will stay with him, accompany him to the bathroom, and give him lectures.

Chi Xiaochi felt that he had an extra brother.

No, even if he had a biological brother, he might not be as good as Lou Ying.

Chi Xiaochi once asked Lou Ying why he should be nice to him.

When he asked this question, Lou Ying on the opposite side lowered his eyes slightly, with a sad expression on his face.

"Let me tell you, don't tell others." Xiao Louying said, "When my mother had an accident, there was...my brother or sister in her stomach. It was so small that even my mother didn't know it. It's here. When I saw you for the first time, I couldn't help but wonder if it was still there, would it be as cute and good as you in the future. "

When Xiao Xiaochi heard this, he was almost aggrieved and turned into a puffer fish: "Okay, I'm your brother and sister's replacement, right?"

"In the beginning, I did have a little for you...but not now." Lou Ying quickly calmed down, and gently stroked his hair, "You are not anyone, you are just Chi Xiaochi."

Afterwards, Chi Xiaochi went home to reflect and felt that his performance at that time was too bad and he didn't take care of Brother Lou's feelings, so he should give him some compensation.

For some reason, he came up with a brilliant idea, thinking that he should not only be a younger brother, but also a younger sister.

It coincided with the rehearsal of the school festival, the teacher ordered a batch of small red skirts for the girls of the dance team, and ordered two more sizes, so Chi Xiaochi borrowed one and went home, intentionally betting with Lou Ying that whoever loses will wear the skirt Going out for a day pretending to be a girl, and then pretending to lose to him, in this way, Lou Ying might be happy.

The plan was implemented quite smoothly, but the only problem was that Chi Xiaochi overestimated his ability to bear it.

Less than a quarter of an hour after he walked out of the house, Chi Xiaochi couldn't do it anymore, dragging the hem of his skirt so ashamed that he couldn't move, his face was flushed with embarrassment, and he refused to go any further.

Seeing that the top of his head was about to smoke, Lou Ying couldn't bear to see him in such embarrassment, so she took off her thin coat, covered his face, and carried him back.

The two were very close when they were young.

This one is good, but it also attracted criticism.

Tongzilou is a place that is easy to break mouths. Many people commented that Chi Xiaochi is a small chicken native to the local area, and Lou Ying is a golden phoenix that accidentally flew into Shangali. One is destined to stay, and the other sooner or later If they want to fly out, they will go their separate ways in the end and part ways.

Even when some good people are chatting, they will see Chi Xiaochi who is going downstairs to play with Lou Ying, and they will smile and say, Xiao Chi, come to see your brother Lou again?When the time comes, your Brother Lou will turn into a phoenix and fly away, what will you do?

Chi Xiaochi thought clearly and honestly, what should I do has nothing to do with you.

But don't blame these people for chewing their tongues.

Since Lou Ying settled down and studied in the local area, she has never stepped down from the No.1 position in the whole district.

And Chi Xiaochi himself has a clear-cut attitude towards learning: "I hate learning."

Lou Ying asked him: "Don't you want to go to the same university as me and go with me?"

Chi Xiaochi had a hippie smile on his face: "I won't study after graduating from high school. I'll go to your university to sell popsicles and daily necessities, and then you're only allowed to buy from my family, not from other people's."

Lou Ying couldn't laugh or cry: "Going to college is a very important thing. You are a very smart child, it's best not to decide your future casually."

Chi Xiaochi asked him which university he wanted to go to.

Lou Ying named a university.

Chi Xiaochi thought for a while: "Then I'd better go sell popsicles."

It was a joke, but Lou Ying's words also made Chi Xiaochi have a little ambition and a little bit of unwillingness from now on.

In the eyes of some people in the building, Lou Ying is an out-and-out good boy.

But excellence itself is a cause for envy.

Another group of people don't believe that there is such a good boy in the world, but they can't fault him in his studies, etiquette and daily performance, so they can only stare blankly.

Aunt Chu's semiconductor incident finally gave these people a chance to vent.

Because of semiconductors, Lou Ying's reputation plummeted in Tongzilou. Everyone talked about Lou Ying's unclean hands and feet with great interest, and at the end he pretended to sigh, hey, he is still a child without parents. Can teach well.

Chi Xiaochi was out of breath, and wanted to vent his anger for Lou Ying, but was stopped by Lou Ying.

Influenced by his parents, he has a good temper and self-cultivation, which cannot be easily shaken.

Moreover, because of the loss of his parents, besides his refined and bookish manner, he also has an understanding and understanding of the world that is rare among children of his age.

Lou Ying is really not angry, and sincerely feels that it is not worth it.

In the end, Chi Xiaochi was even angrier than his client.

After hearing the relevant gossip, the parents showed a rare sense of responsibility, educated Chi Xiaochi at the dinner table, told him to have less contact with Lou Ying, and said that their Chi family's children can have poor grades, but they can't be led astray Morality.

Chi Xiaochi was extremely angry.

He stood up at the dining table and said, when Brother Lou and I had a good time, you didn't care about me at all, but now after hearing some rumors, you put on a look of being good for me.Are you concerned about me, or are you afraid that I will lose your face?

Not surprisingly, after being slapped severely, his parents contacted Zhu Shoucheng, who lived next door, and asked him to teach Chi Xiaochi during the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school, and ordered him not to see Lou Ying again.

Zhu Shoucheng is a math teacher in a public school. He is over 50 years old and has gray hair, but he is still tall and strong.

Chi Xiaochi is already well-developed, and the top of his hair has only reached his chest, and even Lou Ying has just reached his chin.

His wife died early, leaving only one son living in the city with his daughter-in-law, while he chose to live alone and stay in a middle school in this urban-rural fringe area to teach. In his words, it is "difficult to leave his homeland".

In Tongzilou, he is synonymous with high morality and profound knowledge. He is warm-hearted and respected by everyone.

But in Chi Xiaochi's eyes, Zhu Shoucheng is like a dark iron tower. Although he has attended two or three classes, he is also very gentle to Chi Xiaochi. When he goes to his home for tutoring, he always prepares orange juice for him. and milk chocolate, but Chi Xiaochi still doesn't like the smell on him.

Of course, Chi Xiaochi wouldn't take this kind of thing too seriously.

What worries him the most is how to tell Lou Ying this matter tactfully.

And then, that day came.

That day was no different from any other day.

They went to feed the dog meat together, met Zhu Shoucheng by chance, and accidentally brought this matter to the light.

Lou Ying persuaded Chi Xiaochi to listen to his parents, and made an appointment with him to meet him on the rooftop at [-] o'clock in the evening, and he would give him a small class for tutoring.

Chi Xiaochi returned home full of joy.

Both parents had gone to work, Chi Xiaochi wanted to take a nap, and went to Zhu Shoucheng for tutoring at three o'clock, who would have thought that not long after lying down, the squeaking fan on his head stopped.

Chi Xiaochi woke up from the heat, clicked the fan knob a few times, and pulled the light cord to confirm that it was a power outage.

Similar situations often occurred in the old tube building. Chi Xiaochi was not surprised. He skillfully dug out the thick phone book and prepared to call the local electric power bureau to report for repairs.

However, when he picked up the receiver, there was no sound in the receiver.

This time there was no other way, so Chi Xiaochi had no choice but to put down the phone and roll back to bed.

Without the fan, the air heated up rapidly, and the mat turned into a baking pan baked by fire, and the cracks were covered with sweat.

After tossing and turning pancakes on the bed for a while, Chi Xiaochi suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He hugged the bamboo pillow and got up dripping with sweat: "...Brother Lou?"

"Xiaochi, it's me." Zhu Shoucheng's friendly voice came from outside, "Did you take a nap? There's a power outage, it's very hot. I have mung bean popsicles at home. Would you like to come?"

Chi Xiaochi hesitated for a while, got up, put on a racerback vest and shorts, and opened the door.

Zhu Shoucheng was outside the door, with his back against the light, showing his teeth, and smiling brightly at him.

Chi Xiaochi glanced at the wall clock behind him showing two o'clock, blocked the light with the back of his hand, and discussed with Zhu Shoucheng: "Teacher, I'm going early today, can I finish class earlier?"

At noon, Lou Ying gave him a piece of chocolate. If get out of class could end an hour earlier today, he would like to buy some chicken cakes for Lou Ying while the pastry shop is not closed.

The arc of Zhu Shoucheng's smile remained unchanged, as if it was a mask stuck to his face.

The eyes behind the mask looked straight at Chi Xiaochi, and said to him, "Okay."

There are almost no idlers in the tube building. During the day, everyone has to work for their livelihood.

The busiest time of day in Tongzilou is at night, when middle-aged women are busy cracking sunflower seeds, middle-aged men are busy drinking, young couples are busy taking advantage of the time when their children are out to play, pots, pans and pans are ringing, forming a scene full of fireworks. The taste of the world.

But in the summer afternoon, except for the humming of cicadas, there is a dead silence.

Holding the textbook, Chi Xiaochi followed Zhu Shoucheng, walked into the daylight, and then entered Zhu's house with a thick iron gate.

With a bang, the iron gate separated him from the outside world.
