After the global recovery I crossed

Lin Xingtao said goodbye to Wangchen Xi and went home.

[Wang Ying, Zhang Kuangji, Ye Feiyu, and the minister Wang Xi just now, you only need to conquer three people, you are really a very fast man. ] The system sighed.

[Why did you add strange symbols to your words? ] Lin Xingtao asked angrily.

[shock!how do you know! ]

[Okay, you really added the dog stuff. ]

After arguing with the increasingly courageous system in the elevator, Lin Xingtao thought of the company's elevator.He felt that the murderer who framed them might be the same as the one who caused the rainstorm to tamper with his mobile phone.Why did the other party do this?

There are still three targets left, probably Ji Shun, the woman who just drove a Maserati, and the other one could be him... He thought about it, walked out of the elevator, and looked at the first room at hand, 2501, his Neighbor.

The eighteen households on the 25th floor are all owned by the landlord alone, but the landlord only rents out the first five rooms.Before this woman today, apart from Lin Xingtao's 2502, only 2501 was inhabited.

Lin Xingtao only met this neighbor once.

About a month ago, when Lin Xingtao was on leave due to illness and just arrived at the door, the neighbor just came out of the house and walked towards the elevator with his back to Lin Xingtao.

Lin Xingtao was very impressed with him.

After all, he was a man with an elegant temperament and a tall and handsome figure just by looking at his back.

With a dog leash in his hand, he didn't seem to notice that someone was watching him from behind, and walked into the elevator, only glanced at Lin Xingtao when the elevator door was about to close.In such a short glance, his impression of Lin Xingtao should be the same as Lin Xingtao's impression of him, only for a moment.

Lin Xingtao felt that he might not be very young anymore. A clear and complex feeling that young people lack made Lin Xingtao choose not to ask about him.

Lin Xingtao noticed it later, but he still didn't know where the neighbor's dog was kept.

He rang the doorbell at 2501 three times with no response.

. . . . . .

In apartment 2502, Zhang Kuangji was watching TV with his legs crossed, eating Lin Xingtao's leftover bag of potato chips.

There was the sound of running water from the bathroom, and the wind outside was blowing again. At first glance, it felt like it was raining again outside.

Zhang Kuangji ate and ate, and slowly turned his head away.

The sound of water and wind was mixed with a slight knocking sound at some point.

If anyone could float outside the 25th floor and knock on the window, it should be this sound.

Picking up the halberd under his buttocks, Zhang Kuangji rushed to the window in an instant, with one foot on the wall, ready to jump into the air at any time.

There was apparently only air outside the window.

He looked in the direction of the tip of his halberd, and looking up, he saw the extremely distant stars twinkling in the night sky.

At this time, Lin Xingtao was putting the water for bathing, and at the same time moved Zhang Kuangji’s sleeping blanket out of the closet. He walked into the living room and saw the floor tiles cracked by Zhang Kuangji’s kick. He thought about 100 billion, and then thought about the 1 yuan mobile phone. Finally, thinking about those expensive leather clothes, his face darkened.

"Prodigal man." He was extremely distressed.

Zhang Kuangji turned over and went out of the window, squatted down under his cold gaze, glanced at him, and resentfully cleaned up the potato chips that had fallen to the ground.

Oh, and a pack of potato chips worth [-] yuan, remember that.

"You sleep on the sofa today." Lin Xingtao pointed to the sofa.

Zhang Kuang didn't take it seriously, but the system asked: [Eh?Could he have slept in the bed?How can you do this to him?What about personal protection? ]

Lin Xingtao suddenly let out a long sigh: [Actually, I am thinking of you. ]

The system is confused: [What does this have to do with me? ]

[Think about it, you are the system, you are boarding on my body, it is equivalent to me sleeping on the bed, you sleeping on me, rounding it up means the three of us sleeping together!I'm fine, but what do you make others think of you—don't tell me you're such a greedy system! ]

The system was stunned.

Lin Xingtao smiled slightly, and happily returned to the bathroom door, thinking of the ghost in the phone that Ji Shun had mentioned, he said casually, "Are you there, ghost, turn off the faucet for me."

The sound of water stopped suddenly, he belched, and pushed open the door.

The hot water in the bathtub has already evaporated, and the small space is full of water mist.Although Lin Xingtao no longer needs to wear glasses, his vision in the bathroom is still blurry.

A long shadow hangs by the window, dangling in the wind.

Then he stepped on the faucet switch, lost his footing, and slipped into the bathtub.

[The ghost looks like it saw you. ] The system seized the opportunity to marvel.

Lin Xingtao realized that it wasn't a ghost, so he quickly took two steps forward, brushed his hands through the scalding bath water, and supported the back of the visitor's neck that was about to sink into the water.

Electricity flashed through his fingertips, and the skin under his fingertips was beating like a heart.

Neither he nor the visitor moved, white hair floated from between his fingers, and also floated on both sides of the visitor's cheeks with water droplets.

Through the gaps in the hair, Lin Xingtao noticed the face with closed eyes and flushed cheeks, and asked, "Ji Shun?"

As soon as the words fell, the bathtub began to tremble.Like a storm brewing under a thin layer of water.

Ji Shun opened his eyes, but his clear and magnificent eyes were looking at Lin Xingtao without focus.Golden tendons pulsated on his pale skin, as if they would burst and gushes out golden blood at any moment.

Lin Xingtao's eyes moved to the two eye-catching dragon horns on his forehead, which were still glowing.

He couldn't help pinching the dragon's horn.

Although it looks cute and soft, it is really hard.

Ji Shun shook, and the mist quickly and lightly covered the eyeballs, like a layer of ice.

Lin Xingtao: [What's wrong, why is he looking at me so disappointed? ! ]

The system is also very anxious: [Let me think about it... oh oh oh!Have!I made it up, figured it out!You are not the master of the white dragon, so you should be his destined master, so he will protect you and remind you, but you did not really join that family, and you have not let him recognize the master for a long time, so he has been very weak, I got injured in a fight with someone from an evil organization before, so I had to try my best to find you! ]

Lin Xingtao: [Is that so!?how should I do? ]

System: [It must be your blood! ]

Seeing the little beauty dragon who was about to turn into a bubble and disappear, Lin Xingtao made a decisive decision. While supporting the back of his neck, he raised a hand to his mouth, and said tolerantly: "Suck it."

After a while, Ji Shun remained motionless.

Lin Xingtao felt something was wrong.

He remembered, it should be a drop of blood to recognize the Lord.

He moved his hand away, trying to cut his hand with the tip of the dragon's horn, but Ji Shun stared at his hand and raised his head little by little, and the dragon's horn also moved back a little bit.

"Don't move." He frowned, and pressed Ji Shun's wobbly head with his other hand.

When the blood was dripping, Ji Shun seemed to wake up and let out a slight but helpless sigh.

[You conquered [Ji Shun], you got 100 billion, status: frozen. ]

Ji Shun lowered his head, sat down in the bathtub, his clothes were all wet on his body, and said, "I'm fine, I just remembered something and felt dizzy. I just came here to see if he will find you, you What do we do next?"

Lin Xingtao said, "I want to take a bath."

Ji Shun raised his head, his expression slightly startled, and then he moved to the side.

Lin Xingtao pondered for a moment, guessing that he was expressly telling everyone to huddle together.

But in the next moment, Ji Shun turned into a silvery white dragon undulating in the bathtub.

After a while, he began to shrink.

[This is not a spell, this is thermal expansion and cold contraction! ] The system is well-founded and convincing.

Indeed, the bath water was already cold.Lin Xingtao tested the temperature of the water, and fished out Ji Shun, who had become the size of a palm, out of the water.Wrap it in a towel and put it on the bedside table in the bedroom.

He went back to the bathroom and refilled the bath.When he unbuttoned his pants, he thought of a question that he hadn't thought about before, and stopped: [Why are you still here, dog? ]

system:[?Which system still avoids the host when taking a bath and going to the toilet?Don't worry, I will only take a close look and not play with it. ]

Lin Xingtao sneered: [It turns out that you are greedy for my body. ]

The system was taken aback: [Fart!Am I greedy for your body?I like you!I am noble! ]

Lin Xingtao: […]

This time, Lin Xingtao admitted that he lost.

. . . . . .

Lin Xingtao went to the bedroom to sleep in his pajamas.

Zhang Kuangji slept in the living room, while Ji Shun swam to the end of the bed and formed a small circle.

When Lin Xingtao was about to fall asleep, the system said: [Oh, actually, I have been wanting to tell you one thing, don't be angry. ]

Lin Xingtao was vigilant: [Did you use my money to support other hosts outside? ]

System: [No!I want to say... Originally, you wanted to conquer seven people. There must be more than seven people around you, so it’s just that there is this requirement. It’s fine for you to continue to conquer. You can't conquer more than seven people, before I leave you, you have to keep a distance from the eighth and ninth. ]

Lin Xingtao relaxed again, let out an "um", and fell asleep.

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, a person walked out of 2501, turned to the door of 2502, and rang the doorbell.

The ringtone changed from light to heavy, waking Lin Xingtao out of his sleep.

He opened his eyes, stepped past Ji Shun, and passed Zhang Kuangji who also opened his eyes on the sofa.

"Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you late at night." Said the door.

Lin Xingtao opened the door.

The moonlight was heavy, and it shone long into the corridor with a small lamp on.

The light miserly confuses the night.Lin Xingtao could tell that the man on the opposite side was wearing loose and comfortable pajamas, his hair was a little long, and it was piled on the neck, his skin was as white as jade, he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were slightly lowered, and the corners of his mouth curved gently.

He quickly raised his eyes to look at Lin Xingtao.

The moment they looked at each other, there was a slight change in his expression. This kind of change gave people a vivid feeling of the bright moon breaking through the clouds, but this feeling was only for a moment, very quickly, like moonlight scattered into the gentle and elegant in the temperament.

Lin Xingtao felt that he was a scholar.

He seemed to see what Lin Xingtao was thinking, and said with a smile, "Didn't the landlord tell you? I'm an associate professor at your alma mater. Although I only taught there not long ago. My surname is Yu."

"Mr. Yu?" Lin Xingtao tapped his finger on the light switch, "What's the matter so late?"

The electric current at the fingertips sprang out silently, and the light suddenly brightened.

Lin Xingtao stood on the dividing line between the inside and outside of the room, the moonlight shining through the threshold turned into pure brilliance and fell on the side of his face, he turned his face away and yawned.

Professor Yu seemed to be dazed for a moment, and then showed a proper expression of guilt and embarrassment: "I just found out that the door of my room was unlocked, and the dog I raised disappeared. Because it is a dog that I have raised for a long time, I am more anxious."

Lin Xingtao smiled and said, "I thought the teacher came because of the three bells I rang."

Professor Yu's smile deepened: "Really, I was still outside at the time, maybe I didn't hear it. It's a coincidence that it's also three o'clock."

At this moment, Professor Yu's cell phone rang. He glanced at it and said, "My dog ​​has been found. It's fine now. I'll pick it up tomorrow."

Before saying goodbye, his eyes flicked past Lin Xingtao's bedroom, and then the empty living room, and then he stopped suddenly, with a joyful tone: "Do you like playing chess?"

"Ah?" Lin Xingtao subconsciously looked at the chessboard and chess pieces placed in the corner of the living room.

Professor Yu was in high spirits: "Isn't it? It's okay, I'll teach you."

So the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room in their pajamas, playing chess after three o'clock in the morning.

This scene was really weird, one had just woken up, and the other was still looking for a dog just now.

The life of idlers may be so plain and boring, Lin Xingtao thought.

To be honest, he has a skeptical attitude towards Professor Yu, but this does not prevent him from gradually devoting himself to learning how to play chess.

Professor Yu is very good at instructing people, and he is very patient. He smiles and raises his eyebrows with an unaffected ease, showing that he is elegant and personable at the same time.

"Is the teacher very popular with the students at school?"

Professor Yu stroked the chess pieces, and said "uh": "In the beginning, there were indeed a lot of people who came to the class, but gradually they decreased."

"why is that?"

"Maybe I'm too strict. I assign homework every class, and they are not allowed to play with mobile phones or take pictures in class. Wait, the next step is more suitable here. And what I teach is not interesting to them, right? If you’re only interested in me, you won’t be able to survive.”

"Teacher, what do you teach?"

On the chessboard, you hit each other with two hands.

"It's the major you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

Lin Xingtao raised his head in surprise.

Professor Yu propped up his chin and smiled: "I heard your former advisor tell you about you. He said that it was a pity that you didn't take the postgraduate entrance examination back then."

Lin Xingtao lowered his head to study the chessboard again: "There is nothing to regret, after all, I found a good job."

"Really?" Professor Yu suddenly stretched out and held Lin Xingtao's wrist, stopping his movement, "It's wrong, it can't be like this here. You didn't get the postgraduate guarantee because of the punishment in the file, but later the school also promised you that as long as you You can cancel the punishment for you if you are admitted to the graduate school, why don't you want to?"

no answer.

Professor Yu turned his head and observed this young man who had been in society for two years once again.

He is seriously thinking about where to go next, and he is a very good student.The youthfulness of the student days had faded from his face, and he was undoubtedly more handsome, but the youthful spirit was depressed between the slightly furrowed brows.

There are too many examples of young people who have affected their lives because of an emotional conflict. Professor Yu himself did the same back then, but when he stepped over, this person made an unexpected choice, as if to say: I don’t want to follow your rules. Here come the rules.

Professor Yu handed him a chess piece: "You feel that you have done nothing wrong and should not be punished, and you feel that it is too much to make up for the mistakes you did not make and thank the person who punished you—" Fingertips touched palms, The word "poor" on the tip of the tongue was gently knocked back into the throat by this force.

Professor Yu: "...It's a pity that there are always rules and unspoken rules in the world, just like the general manager who was airborne in your company recently."

Lin Xingtao moved his fingers.

"He has good parents, doesn't he? What about your parents?"

With a sound of "Duo", slender fingers brushed the hair on the side of Professor Yu's face, and the chess piece was knocked on the table with a cold sound.

Professor Yu sighed slightly.

He thought back to when he first met the young man.

He didn't actually decide to live here at that time, but the moment the elevator door closed, the light from the outside world was compressed into a narrow line, and the young man's eyes invaded without hesitation, making people think that the elevator door Not closed yet.

Just like now, the young man approached slightly, knocked down silently, retracted his arm, and for a moment his gaze was a faint squint.

The invisible sense of aggression, which was almost sharp, came again.

Maybe he didn't even notice...Professor Yu's eyes turned to the bedroom.

No, he knows.

After all, the dog that he has caught for a long time, Long, was kept in his bedroom.And the previous occupants of this house...

"I'm an orphan." Lin Xingtao said.

As he spoke, he looked at his son with satisfaction.

The system pointed in his ear: [here RushB——you can see that he was stupefied by your amazing chess skills. ]

Lin Xingtao is modest: [We generally only use two words to describe people like me—chess monster!Hahaha! ]

After a while, seeing that Professor Yu was still staring at him thoughtfully, Lin Xingtao's eyes became sharper: [He said so much just to ask my parents?What is his relationship with my parents? ]

Professor Yu called his name steadily: "Lin Xingtao." The voice was like a murmur in sleep at night, but it was extraordinarily clear.

Under the lenses of the gold-rimmed glasses, the eyes are still gentle.

"Your father, right here, in this house," he said.

Lin Xingtao was stunned for a while.

Then he took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa cushion.

He said to the system: [I used to guess that Ji Shun was my father, but now I know it is impossible, and neither is Zhang Kuangji. He also said that my father is in this house, could it be...]

The system hurriedly said: [Could it be! ]

[Could it be that my father is...]

Lin Xingtao subtly guessed Professor Yu's age. As for the associate professor, he would be in his thirties...?

By the way, yes.Everything suddenly became clear.

Although Lin Xingtao has always suspected that Professor Yu is the one who wants to deal with him, Professor Yu not only did not do anything, but also used lame reasons to play chess with him in the middle of the night, guiding him carefully, explaining him, not only caring about his work but also caring about him. of studies.It’s hard to find yourself in the vast crowd but you don’t recognize yourself, maybe you are silently watching yourself next door every day.To be a professor at his alma mater is of course to understand his past, to be his neighbor is to accompany him in the future, of course to come here now is to recognize him.

Father's love is silent, father's love is like a mountain.Lin Xingtao burst into tears.

Before he was about to call out the word "Dad" to Professor Yu, the system sighed faintly:

[Now that you have found out, it seems that you can't hide it anymore, I will stop pretending, and I will show my cards.Yes, I am your father. ]

Lin Xingtao: [What dog are you talking about...]

[So among thousands of human beings, I choose you to be my host!So I tell jokes every day to make you happy!So let me tell you the truth, the so-called task rewards are actually paid by me, and 700 billion is my inheritance to you!I just hope you can have at least seven people who really treat you.So when you guessed Ji Shun's identity, I was so expecting and so helpless.So when I say I like you, I actually love you, yes!It is paternal love.So...do you understand, how sad I was when you called me dog system, I couldn't help crying, how could you treat your father like this—]

[Niezi! ] The system shouted loudly.

The author has something to say:

Lin Xingtao tested the temperature of the water. He fished out Ji Shun, who had become the size of a palm, in the water, wrapped it in a towel, covered it with bread crumbs, and fried it until golden and crispy. Professor Yu burst into tears!

Ji Shun: After all, the relationship of so many years was paid by mistake.
