Daoism catches ghosts [Rebirth]

To say that Lin Xingzhou has been single for the past twenty years, it is not that he has no idea of ​​finding a partner to spend the rest of his life with, but first of all, his sexual orientation is "white and red, different from others", even if he looks like a human, he is embarrassed To harm other people's little girls.Secondly, he is so absorbed in comics that he hardly has time to discuss the great cause of life, let alone "spiritual civilization exchange".Again, his health was not good enough, "Lin Daiyu" was on the upper body every day, and then he couldn't afford to get sick, let alone thinking about what he had and what he didn't have.

However, now that he was reborn, everything seemed to be clear and clear, so this "problem left over from history" quietly broke through the ice, surfaced secretly, and flicked his tail like a fish, causing a series of ripples.

Wei Zhi stared at him for a long while with questioning eyes, but got no response, so he had to ask, "What's wrong?"

"Uh...it's nothing." Lin Xingzhou hurriedly extinguished the restless little flame, stopped the fire from getting burned, and scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment, "Shall we go back?"

Wei Zhi looked at him strangely, and before he had time to comment on his hesitation, he suddenly saw a figure rushing out of the corridor: "Hey! You two didn't leave, I invite you Let's eat, shall we go?"

Tian Qian's appearance resolved the awkward atmosphere between the two in time. Lin Xingzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said, "Dinner? Why is it so sudden?"

"Didn't I tell you last time, if you can solve the matter of Weiwei's family, I'll treat you to dinner, have you forgotten?" Tian Qian said, "It just so happens that your friend is also here, I think it's better to just leave today Well, save time and have nowhere to look for you - Weiwei has to take care of the baby, it's inconvenient, so let me do it for you."

"Go ahead," Wei Zhi picked up her words, "I can send you somewhere, and I won't get into the details."

Tian Qian hurriedly said: "How can I do that? If you want to invite me, of course please invite me together, so I can save face."

Just as Lin Xingzhou wanted to echo, "I didn't do much, it's mainly up to you", but Wei Zhi couldn't help but take out the car keys, and raised his finger: "Get in the car, I'll take you there."

After he finished speaking, he left first. Tian Qian patted Lin Xingzhou on the shoulder from behind, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with your friend? We've delivered everything, so what if we stay and have a meal together?"

"Uh, he..." Lin Xingzhou recalled the last time someone said he didn't eat in restaurants, so he had to prevaricate, "He might not like eating out—let's get in the car."

Because Wei Zhi insisted on not staying, he sent the two of them to the place and drove away. The remaining two formed a pair of "lonely man and widow" and stood at the entrance of the hotel looking at each other.

Finally, Tian Qian was the first to break the embarrassment, and coughed lightly: "Hey, let me tell you, this place is old and high-end. Last time, President Lu invited the goddess to have dinner here."

"Appointment?" Lin Xingzhou raised his head, "...Western restaurant?"

"Thinking too much, how could the Goddess agree to him, in the end he got drunk here by himself, and we helped him back, it's a shame."

Tian Qian finally realized something belatedly as she said: "That's not right, you have a bad stomach, so you can't eat Western food? Well... how about we change to another one, there is a home-cooked restaurant not far from here, and it takes only 2 minutes by taxi. arrive."

"Forget it," Lin Xingzhou smiled, "I don't think this place can't come in without an appointment. Is there still time to refund it? It's all here, so let's go here."

Tian Qian was very guilty: "Yes... I'm sorry, I really forgot, just thinking that President Lu has been here, I just..."

Lin Xingzhou shrugged indifferently: "It's okay, let's stop poking around here as a mascot, let's go in."

It was dinner time, and there were quite a few people in the western restaurant. Tian Qian reserved a table by the window. From here, you could directly see the opposite side of the road.The service attitude of the restaurant was quite good. As soon as the two sat down, the waiter followed up. Tian Qian ordered a steak herself, and then pushed the menu to Lin Xingzhou.

Lin Xingzhou looked through the menu, and found that this western restaurant is indeed a genuine western restaurant. There is no Chinese food at all, so he ordered a pasta, and said: "Please make it softer, thank you."

The waiter nodded: "Do you want anything else?"

Lin Xingzhou raised his chin towards Tian Qian: "Look at her."

So the waiter began to recommend: "This is our recommended dish today, do you want to try it?"

Tian Qian quickly said: "Okay, let's have a little of the same, just... that's all."

Lin Xingzhou pointed to the cold drink at hand: "By the way, help me replace this with plain water, normal temperature will do."

The waiter left in response, and the two sitting down looked down at the patterns on the table for a while in embarrassment. After a long while, Lin Xingzhou said, "You just said... Mr. Lu was rejected by the goddess again? What's the matter, I don't know Know?"

Tian Qian sighed, took out a wet tissue and wiped her hands: "Don't mention it, just last week, he ordered a table here and waited for the goddess to come. He actually let him go without saying a word. He waited for two hours but no one came, and the food he ordered couldn’t be refunded, so he had to call some of our colleagues over to help him get rid of everything on the table—not to mention, The food in this high-end restaurant is delicious, and I have been thinking about it for several days."

Lin Xingzhou took a sip of white water, thinking to himself why this sounds so weird, and before he could figure out why, Tian Qian said again: "You don't know how miserable Mr. Lu was that night, I'm really surprised, you What on earth is the goddess thinking? If she doesn’t accept it, she can just say it outright, and if she agrees and doesn’t come, I really think that I… have a word for it, yes, I’m so proud of being favored, and I treat people like idiots? Playing hard to get doesn’t play like that.”

As soon as Tian Qian found a topic, she began to talk endlessly: "If you want me to say that Mr. Lu is really stubborn, there is no grass anywhere in the world, why do you have to hang to death on this crooked neck tree? He is so good, handsome and handsome. With money, how many people lined up to marry him, but why did they just hold on to this 'Gaoling Flower'? I feel so aggrieved for him."

"He has been chasing the goddess for so many years, but anyone with a heart should have been moved by now. No matter how hard the rest of the heart is, it is useless." Tian Qian said and moved a little closer, "Hey, you are not him Iron buddy, why don't you go and persuade him to let him stop earlier."

"Iron is iron, but..." Lin Xingzhou was a little embarrassed, "This kind of thing, after all, should we persuade you to get along or not? Even though they are not together after all."

He paused for a while as he spoke: "And I always feel that something is wrong. Although I have no contact with Ye Zhi, I think that Lu Jie has been able to chase her consistently for so many years. It must be because she has some kind of charisma. How could it be the kind of person who breaks promises and releases pigeons at will?"

"That's right..." Tian Qian rested her cheeks and said to herself, "I don't think I've heard of her treating Mr. Lu like this before. She will always hurt people like this time. To be able to fight and fail and fail and fight again and again is too blind."

"Sir, your meal is ready, please take it slowly."

Tian Qianshi ate her medium-rare steak without taste. Seeing that she was absent-minded, Lin Xingzhou had to take the initiative to pick up the quarrel: "I'll ask him later—you invited me to dinner today, didn't you just invite me to dinner? ?”

Tian Qian raised her head with an "ah" and said falteringly: "Of course... I still have to express my thanks, Dai Weiwei, Dai Xiaozhiyuan, thank you very much for your... great help this time."

Lin Xingzhou laughed halfway through it: "Is there anything else? I don't believe you only want to talk about this."

"Uh..." Tian Qian lowered her head and scratched her ears, "there's nothing else..."

Lin Xingzhou seemed to have read her mind: "Are you sure? The opportunity is not lost, and it will never come again."

Tian Qian unconsciously pierced the steak with a fork, until the innocent steak was pierced into a sieve, and then hesitantly said: "Well... I would like to ask you a question, do you... have a girlfriend? "

Lin Xingzhou pursed his lips and smiled: "No."

"Would you mind having one then?"

Lin Xingzhou endured it for a long time before he didn't laugh directly, coughed lightly and calmed down: "I'm sorry, I don't have it now, and I won't have it in the future."

Tian Qian was a little disappointed immediately: "Are you rejecting me now? Are you really going to stop thinking about it? Although we haven't known each other for a long time, but... Anyway, there is plenty of time, so we can get to know each other slowly."

She scratched her head as she spoke, and blushed very rarely: "You see, it's also the first time I've confessed to someone, so at least give... give me some face."

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you before," Lin Xingzhou said, "Actually, I'm an unmarriageist, so even if I promise you now, we won't talk about anything. Let's continue to be ordinary friends and go further. The relationship will be avoided."

Tian Qian was a little unresponsive, and answered subconsciously: "Why...don't you get married?"

She originally thought that Lin Xingzhou was going to talk about physical factors, but unexpectedly he spread his hands and said helplessly: "Because the law does not allow it, then we have no choice but to not get married."

Tian Qian was completely confused, her IQ was completely offline, and she asked in a daze, "What do you mean? What do you mean the law does not allow it?"

This time, Lin Xingzhou smiled and didn't answer any more. He forked a piece of vegetable salad and chewed it slowly in his mouth. Yes, his erratic gaze suddenly focused on a certain point, and then he frowned slightly.

There is a bank across the road, and several cars are parked in the parking space in front of the bank, one of which has a very familiar license plate from the model.

Wei Zhi's car.

Why hasn't he left yet?

Lin Xingzhou subconsciously fiddled with the pendant on the necklace—Wei Zhi told him to put it on when he got out of the car, and this guy also said that he didn't come to dinner because he had something to do, but now it seems... this person seems to be is lying.

With such a long distance, Lin Xingzhou couldn't see clearly whether there was anyone in the car, so he had to swallow his doubts for the time being.Over there, Tian Qian finally turned her dull brain circuit to the right track with difficulty, and opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Could it be that you want to say that you like men..."

"Shh..."

Lin Xingzhou made a silent motion to her in time, and choked the rest of her words. Tian Qian quickly covered her mouth, and after a while, she lowered her voice and said, "Really...really?"

Lin Xingzhou lowered his eyes and rolled up some pasta with a fork: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Lu Jie, he knows more details."

Tian Qian didn't see any expression on his face, but became even more flustered, and quickly waved her hands to explain: "No, no, I didn't mean to question you, I just... I thought you were making an excuse to reject me. "

"How is it possible?" Lin Xingzhou sighed softly, "Am I that kind of person?"

Tian Qian didn't answer any more, she quickly took two sips of cold drink to suppress her shock, she bit her straw and secretly raised her eyes to look at him, she didn't know what to think, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Could it be that the handsome guy in black just now is you... "

When Lin Xingzhou heard this, he almost choked on a mouthful of noodles, and hurriedly interrupted her and said, "No, no, no, you misunderstood, he is just my boss, boss."

"That's it..." Tian Qian stared at him suspiciously—this girl seemed to have recovered from the grief of "rejection of confession", and went in another strange direction without looking back.

She stirred the ice in the drink with a straw, and whispered, "Actually, I think you two are quite a match, after all, you are both handsome..."

Lin Xingzhou had nothing to say, and the other party held his cheeks again, and sighed faintly: "Why is my life so hard, I didn't expect that such a thing as 'robbing a man with a man' really existed, it seems that this year there is no hope of getting out of the single again .”

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

A certain Lin wanted to answer the conversation, but was unable to complain, so he could only watch his eyes and nose, and honestly covered his mouth with pasta. He suddenly regretted going out for dinner with this girl, and what was even more regretful was that he didn't bring Wei Zhi with him.

Just relying on Wei's aura, he can definitely calm down a table of people so that no one dares to speak.

Tian Qian sighed and sighed for a long time over there, then regained her vigor and collected her thoughts, she was still a vigorous single dog, she didn't know what to think of, she suddenly moved closer, blinked and said, "Can I ask you a question? "

"Ok?"

"Are you not born straight, or are you bent the day after tomorrow?"

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's probably born."

Tian Qian asked again: "Then when did you realize that your sexual orientation is different from others?"

This time Lin Xingzhou didn't answer right away, the other party seemed to finally realize that he was abrupt, and quickly explained: "No, no, don't get me wrong, I didn't want to pry into your privacy, I'm just... curious, if you don't want to say it, just pretend to be me No question, eat, eat."

Lin Xingzhou didn't care much about these things, he smiled and said, "What's so private about this——Actually, I still remember this incident quite clearly. It should be my third year of junior high school, the last day of class before the high school entrance examination. When we relax in the afternoon, the class teacher takes us to watch a movie, they are watching a big movie there, and the class leader takes us and a group of boys to hide in the back row, and plays a small movie on a tablet."

He said and looked up at the other party: "It's just...that kind of movie, you know? At that time, I was fourteen or fifteen years old, and I was very curious about this kind of thing. When it comes to the key points, there are close-ups What the hell, the other boys looked very excited and excited, and I felt a little...uh..."

He paused and swallowed the word "disgusting" forcefully: "It's a little uncomfortable, it's an indescribable feeling."

Tian Qian lowered her voice and said, "But this doesn't mean anything. For no reason, there is a man standing in front of me naked, and I will feel uncomfortable."

Lin Xingzhou nodded: "So I didn't pay much attention at the time, so I left by myself. Later, when I grew up, I looked like a freshman and a sophomore. Once I went back to the office to give homework to the teacher, and accidentally dropped a copy. The boys in my class picked it up for me and said things like 'be careful in the future', at that time I suddenly had a kind of..."

"The feeling of heartbeat?"

Lin Xingzhou pursed his lips and smiled: "Maybe. Later, I inquired with someone and found out that the boy is the monitor of the class next door, and he is famous for being very popular."

Tian Qian always had bright eyes on gossip, and asked again: "Then did you confess to him?"

"How dare I," Lin Xingzhou said, "I was very timid when I was young, but I became bolder in the third year of high school, and there was a gay in the same grade at that time, he was quite bold to confess to someone, but the other party pointed at his nose and called him disgusting , and went to the head teacher, and was finally reported and criticized by the school, causing a lot of trouble——that boy finally transferred to another school."

Tian Qian couldn't answer, Lin Xingzhou said again: "But since then, I have fully understood that I am really different from other people, and I also know that there is more than one like me in the world, but unfortunately, because of other people's eyes, I I didn’t dare to show it, and I didn’t tell my family.”

Tian Qian tentatively said, "Then you didn't tell anyone else except Lu Jie? I wouldn't be the second to know about it, would I?"

"Of course not," Lin Xingzhou smiled, deliberately skipping over the part about the accident at home, "After I went to college, I let go a little bit, and a few roommates were also careless. They asked me why I didn't find a girlfriend. , I told them the truth, but as a result, they made a big mouth and poked it out for me the next day, making it known to all professionals."

Tian Qian couldn't help but let out an "ah": "Then what happened later? They didn't show anything to you..."

"No, the people in the Academy of Fine Arts are very open-minded, especially our department, everyone is crazy, there are all kinds of monsters and ghosts, homosexuality is too common, often walking on the road and seeing two men or two The two girls hugged each other and started kissing, and there were a lot of booing and flirting. They poked me out, and the biggest consequence was that someone would introduce me to a boyfriend every now and then, which annoyed me."

Tian Qian was relieved, and then sighed a little disappointed, resting her chin on her hands: "I thought I was the first woman to know about this... By the way, you just said 'the Academy of Fine Arts'? You are the Academy of Fine Arts Graduated? Speaking of which, I don't know what your real job is, it looks very high-end."

Lin Xingzhou said with a smile: "I only draw cartoons, what is high-end or not."

Tian Qian clasped her hands together: "Cartoonist!"

"Don't, don't, don't flatter me, it's still far away from 'home'."

"Actually, I'm quite envious of you," Tian Qian said. "You have free time. You can just stay at home every day. You don't have to work from nine to five, and you won't be scolded by your boss. How comfortable you are."

Lin Xingzhou shook his head: "It's very bitter, especially when there is no popularity in the early stage. You can only update the explosive liver desperately, and you can't make much money. You work eight hours a day, and we may have sixteen hours. Sometimes I am lazy. If the progress is not completed, when it is time to update, you have to stay up late to catch up on the draft. It is common to stay up all night. If you are sick, you dare not ask for leave. People often procrastinate, and minor illnesses become serious illnesses. Come back, readers don't remember you anymore."

"No matter how diligently you update, no one will praise you. Instead, they will say 'It's so short', 'It's just a few pages after waiting for so many days', 'It's gone again', 'It's so little every time, don't you want to make money'." He said He sighed insignificantly, and spread his hands helplessly, "What can I do, even if I can earn 100 million yuan for a single sentence, if I can't draw it, I still can't draw it, the speed of my hand is there, unless I become Nezha. "

Lin Xingzhou took a sip of his saliva: "So, it's better to have a job like yours with fixed working hours and stable wages. You can see that Lu Jie has to go out every now and then. When I'm busy, the highest record is that I haven't called him back for two whole months." information."

Tian Qian looked at him, thought for a while and asked, "Then do you regret doing this?"

Lin Xingzhou was slightly taken aback, then turned his gaze out of the window: "No, there is no word 'regret' in my dictionary."

When he said this, Wei Zhi was resting in the car with his eyes closed.

The air conditioner in the car was turned on very low, and the rear window was opened to one side. Unfortunately, it was in Lin Xingzhou's blind spot, so he was not noticed.Unwilling to be lonely, classmate Ling tried every means to harass his boss, but the other party seemed to be an old monk in meditation and just ignored him.

So she had no choice but to switch to the "serious" mode, pouted and said, "Boss, you are showing signs of losing control again today."

Wei Zhi took his nose and snorted "hmm" as a response, Ling then said, "Do you want to record it?"

"Remember."

"It's been two and a half years since you lost control last time, boss, do you have any thoughts?"

"No," Wei Zhi said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, the day when I completely lose control will not come, put away your thoughts."

"Oh," Zero actually looked a little disappointed, "It seems that I can't play my original role."

Wei Zhi glanced at her inexplicably: "Isn't it good to be honest with your system? I remember that I didn't set up a personality of 'I'm afraid the world will not be chaotic' for you."

Ling opened his mouth and was about to answer, but he didn't know what he noticed, and suddenly turned back to the handle of the knife. When Wei Zhi looked up, he found a person walking from the opposite side of the road, walked straight to his car, and lightly knocked on the window.
