Lost in the world

Through the window, the figure of the hunched figure who was approaching the handsome young man to say something gradually became blurred, as if separated by a thin layer of mist.He rubbed his eyes, turned around and walked towards the playground. After he calmed down, Li Ting was looking over worriedly in his sight.

Mo Qingxuan was startled: "What's wrong?"

"Brother, your eyes are red, aren't they..." Li Ting hesitated, as if he felt embarrassed, and asked him: "...I didn't have a good chat with Phoenix, did you get mad at him?"

"No, it was because I accidentally washed my face and water got into my eyes."

"Is that so?"

Li Ting patted his head and smiled: "I'm not you, children cry. Let's go to the pedestrian street and pick out some winter clothes for you."

"Winter...?"

——It’s just autumn!Li Ting muttered in his heart.When you arrive at the pedestrian street, it looks very shabby compared to the bright and clean shopping malls. The storefronts are small and dilapidated, and there are few people. Nodding his lips, he said with a perfunctory attitude: "Look for yourself first, if you like it, you can try it on, my house is not cheap."

The index finger tapped his lips, as if he was thinking about what color of lipstick to wear.

"..."

Mo Qingxuan didn't dare to disturb, and quietly withdrew.

So is Li Ting

Arriving at another house, the owner of the shop was leaning against the door, with orchid fingers resting on his cheeks, his cheeks were rosy and his figure was coquettish, his brows and eyes were full of flair, and his eyes looking at Mo Qingxuan were very affectionate.

Mo Qingxuan turned his head and left, picked out a fat down jacket from the aunt's booth on the side of the road, and asked Li Ting to try it on.

Li Ting is very bloated

"That's it! Another one, change and wear."

Li Ting turned pale with shock: "Brother, are you no longer picking?"

"Hey, it's time for us to go back. I still need to cut some bolts of cloth to make you some clothes, and you can help me too."

Li Ting was even more surprised: "Aren't you a tailor?!"

Mo Qingxuan looked back at him, smiled, and suddenly smiled inscrutablely, and said, "Don't underestimate me."

It's not a matter of underestimating or not, it's... hey, this down jacket is really ugly.Li Ting's face was sullen, and he suddenly had doubts about Mo Qingxuan's aesthetics, but there was a faint, soft, indescribable throbbing that touched somewhere in his heart, like a child seeing his mother helping him to sew clothes...

this weird feeling

Li Ting introspected deeply, held back his expectations, and asked, "What can I help you with?"

"First, we have to go and buy a sewing machine."

After autumn, ginkgo leaves gradually turn yellow.The yellow leaves all over the mountains and plains fluttered in the wind, and it was very cool to blow on the body. The two brothers walked on the tree-lined avenue stepping on the yellow leaves. Mo Qingxuan was carrying the sewing machine, and Li Ting was hugging a large bag of fabric. His tender and soft face full of puzzlement.

Mo Qingxuan always had a faint satisfied smile on his lips, and said: "Although it cost a lot of money, you think that your clothes can be repaired in the future, and more importantly, with the sewing machine, we no longer need to buy new clothes." Yes. Tell me what you want to wear, and I can make it. Doesn’t this save a lot of money?”

Li Ting's expression changed from doubt to shock: "Is our family poor?"

"Of course! If you have no income, you must save some money."

"Then why don't you look for a job? I can also work part-time on weekends to subsidize the family." The child looked sad, "Actually, I also have savings. But grandma said it was the money my mother left me, and she wouldn't let me move it. It is said that it is unclean money, and it will cost your life if you spend it."

"Don't say that..."

Mo Qingxuan couldn't help but feel the sadness of being underestimated.He is not so destitute. If he is really poor, he can ask Nanguo to borrow some money from them.

……

In the evening, around dinner time, they came from Nanguo uninvited, and they approached menacingly, as if they were asking questions.Mo Qingxuan held a spatula in his hand, paused in the stir-fry, and asked:

"what's up?"

Qin Ge smiled coldly on his handsome face, and said: "That so-and-so, that so-and-so was drunk in the middle of the night yesterday, slept on my bed at home, woke up in the morning and ran away without even saying thank you. Such a person, how dare you ask?" What am I here for?"

Nan Guo leaned comfortably on the sofa, crossed his legs, and echoed: "That's right. You don't know how heavy you are, and it took me a lot of effort to drag you into the car. You are fine, and there is no thank you." , Just leave a note and want to send us away, it's too heartless!"

Mo Qingxuan is at a loss

He only remembered that it was stuffy in the box, and he went out to get some air, and then... Then, he didn't remember anything about what happened, really didn't remember.The current situation seems to be resolved only by an apology, so he said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I won't drink anymore. Have you eaten yet, or stay for dinner, and I will apologize to you. "

Li Ting, who was washing rice and vegetables at the side, really wanted to say to him: Brother, they just came here for food.

Mo Qingxuan, who didn't know whether he was pretending to be stupid or really confused, ignored their heavy faces and greeted them with smiles.Cooked a pot full of pumpkin and millet porridge, baked scallion pancakes into three thin layers, each layer is golden and translucent, especially the outer layer is crispy and slag-free, one bite, the scent of chopped scallions permeates the taste buds, more It will be a little greasy after eating a few pieces, but it doesn't matter. It is served with a small plate of jade-white and crystal-clear diced radish, which is crisp and refreshing, just to relieve the greasy.

The millet porridge is golden and rich in color, and it is very warm to the stomach after drinking.

Nan Guo drank three bowls in a row, but still couldn't get enough of it. He licked his lips and said, "You might as well open a restaurant. I'll patronize it every day."

"No money..." He said regretfully, "I need funds to open a store, and I don't have a job, so I only have enough money left over for my daily expenses. You came at the right time, and I was just looking for you. Please help me think about it." A way to make quick money so I have some savings on hand for emergencies."

"You don't have any money, you can ask me to borrow it!" Nan Guo suddenly became excited

Mo Qingxuan immediately asked in a low voice: "Do you need to pay it back?"

"Nonsense! I'm 'borrowing' your money, not giving it away for free."

"Forget it," he sighed softly, with a melancholy and regretful expression on his face, "I just want to make quick money, and I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as the money is enough, I'm willing to move bricks on the construction site 24 hours a day."

Qin Ge wiped his mouth with a tissue, and asked calmly, "Didn't Kong Tongnan ask you to be his assistant?"

"Reject! I don't want to have an ambiguous relationship with him." That face with a hidden knife in his smile always feels malicious. Compared with real villains, hypocrites are more terrifying to him, and the best policy is to keep a respectful distance.However, just after Mo Qingxuan finished speaking firmly, he asked again hesitantly:

"Is he rich?"

Immediately received two pairs of contemptuous eyes

He tried to explain: "I don't mean anything else, just asking casually. Kong Tongnan's family background...I'm afraid, I can't afford it. Speaking of which, Kong Tongnan gave me this house, although I don't want to talk to him It’s a relationship, but in the end—it’s still his favor.”

Nanguo: "Pfft——"

A mouthful of millet porridge was sprayed all over the table, his face turned red, and he stared at him with a smile: "What did you just say, this house was sent by Kong Tongnan? Did I hear it wrong?"

Qin Ge looked disgusted: "He will put gold on his face. Mo Qingxuan, listen to me, this house has an owner, but it's not Kong Tongnan, but—"

There was a pause in the voice, as if he suddenly had some concerns when he spoke.

Nan Guo took over the conversation, and said with a natural expression: "When Su Changqing left, he left a sum of money. At that time, housing prices were not so high. This area was just developed, and it was close to the city and quiet. Qin Ge took that I bought this small villa with a sum of money, and his name is written on the real estate certificate—"

He pointed at Qin Ge, and quickly added: "—but the house actually belongs to Su Changqing. Coincidentally, Kong Tongnan has also taken a fancy to this apartment, and has been wanting to buy it from Qin Ge. You come here He has been harassing Qin Ge for a long time before."

"There is such a thing?"

No wonder Kong Tongnan said at the beginning: Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha

For Qin Ge, that long period of uninterrupted harassment was an unbearable memory, and now he still has a bad face when he mentions it. After taking Nan Guo's words, he said:

"This house has been empty all the time. Whether you are Su Changqing or not, you can live here."

Mo Qingxuan couldn't ask for more, so he quickly thanked him.

Nan Guo let out a soft "Huh~" and said jokingly, "Aren't you worried about whether you are Su Changqing's business? Don't you worry that one day Su Changqing will come back and drive you out?"

Mo Qingxuan calmed down: "The house is so big, it can accommodate one more person. Since I have a fate with him, let's develop it."

"Why, don't you want your Phoenix?"

It's him again!Mo Qingxuan was unhappy, and his tone was sour: "He is accompanied by someone now, but I am alone, and I am prepared to taste the bitterness of being alone."

"...Ah...ah?"

"…………"

Nan Guo and Qin Ge were holding porridge bowls, and they were all stunned.

"Fortunately, I've already looked away. If the mountain doesn't come, it's me, and I'll go to the mountain."

Nan Guo stuttered in fright: "You, what, it sounds like you like him very much?"

A calm and self-retaining person like Qin Ge also showed surprise on his face and asked, "Why do you like him?"

"I like it very much. Except for him, no one else will give me such a deep feeling." He said frankly and without concealment, "I'm not Wei Ziqi, I am insensitive, and I need others to tell him who I like. .”

As expected, Qin Ge couldn't sit still, and frowned: "Tell me about you, why mention him?"

"It's nothing, I just think he is stupid and stupid in some aspects." He couldn't help but chuckle softly, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Qin Ge was dissatisfied: "I think he is very good! He has a soft heart, speaks softly, can draw and play the piano, and was recognized as a school grass in college. There is just one thing, he is easy to attract peach blossoms."

"However, I always feel that he is like a fool. He acted like a clumsy and clumsy person in front of Qin Ge yesterday... Tsk, how should I put it, maybe it's funny. Heh~ Except for a beautiful skin, there is nothing wrong with him." The saving grace. It's strange, how could you like him?"

The last sentence, he asked Qin Ge suspiciously.

Qin Ge's face was full of anger: "Your own affairs are messed up, why do you have the face to criticize others behind your back?"

Nan Guo nodded foolishly: "Wei Ziqi is rich and good-looking. It's normal to have a relationship with the opposite sex. But, Qin Ge, don't be angry, Mo Qingxuan is right, he is really dumb sometimes , because his family education is very strict, and he is used to following the rules, so he can't act out of line. He can realize Qin Ge——you are his important friend, it's very good, if you want him to figure out by himself what he likes you This matter is simply more difficult than Shen Tu changing his temper and not killing people and setting fire!"

The baby's face was almost wrinkled into a meat bun, and he asked Mo Qingxuan stupidly: "And you, why did you attack Wei Ziqi~ He shouldn't have done anything to make you angry, right?"

"Hey..." Mo Qingxuan was sad, and looked at Qin Ge with more sympathy, "Does he know that you defend him so much?"

Qin Ge sneered: "He doesn't need to know this."

"You should be a very proud person in your bones, high above you, if you are willing to lower your posture, even just a little bit."

He thought of the same proud and stubborn girl who raised her neck like a cockfighting rooster and said arrogantly: Don't underestimate me.I'm also very arrogant, no matter how much I like something, I don't force it to stay with me, unlike some people who hide it, admitting that I like it is not a shameful thing.He was not disgusted with this kind of arrogance, and even felt that the girl had a bold temperament, and she had an eclectic and easy-going style that she could afford and let go.

Mo Qingxuan's heart was numb and numb, as if he was touched, a strange feeling flowed through him, and he said, "That girl is called Yang Liuyi, right, she is the type I would like."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Ge's stomach was full of anger that was about to erupt. For some reason, he suppressed it all at once. It was hard to breathe for a while, his fingertips were numb, and he couldn't even hold the porridge bowl in his hand. live.

Nan Guo didn't even have the time to be surprised, and asked directly: "You like the type of Yang Liuyi? Then do you know that she is very aggressive when she gets angry, and dares to slap you in the face?!"

"Then I don't want to make her angry."

"You just said you liked Phoenix—"

"I like many types, but only one person."

Mo Qingxuan stood up slowly, cleaned up the dishes, and squinted at Qin Ge, who was still in a daze, and Nan Guo, who was chewing slowly on a scallion pancake, full of anticipation.

Soon, Nan Guo stood up slowly and said, "It's getting late, I should go back, I have to go to work tomorrow."

Qin Ge also stood up: "Thank you for your hospitality, and I will take my leave."

"Stop!——Qin Ge, I said Yang Liuyi is excellent, you have a sense of crisis, don't you?"

He curled his lips in disdain, and calmly said a word: "Get lost!"

In the end, Mo Qingxuan was the only one who cleaned up the mess, because Li Ting had to do his homework.The whole living room fell into a deserted silence in an instant, the lights were dim, the figures were vague, and the busy figure turned mechanically. There was no expression on the upright face, which was as transparent as ice and snow in the dim light.until--

"Mi woo~~ me woo~"

A raccoon cat the size of a palm jumped into the window and nimbly jumped onto the freshly cleaned dining table, leaving a series of plum blossom footprints, and then squatted down like a Buddha, licking its paws while calling at Mo Qingxuan.

Mo Qingxuan stopped wiping the plate, and asked it suspiciously: "Are you hungry?"

"Mi woo - me woo me woo -"

The first cat suddenly rolled on the spot, then stretched out its paws, the glazed cat's eyes were crystal clear, and continued: "Meow meow~!"

Mo Qingxuan became more suspicious, approaching the first cat, tentatively stretched out his hand to touch the round cat's head, until the hand fell, it didn't dodge.Suddenly his heart surged, he was flattered and very excited:

"You let me touch you, didn't you run away when you saw me?"

The first cat raised its little neck proudly, "Miwu Miwu" and called out twice, shaking its fluffy head and rubbing against the palm of its hand.

At this moment, Mo Qingxuan felt the softness and warmth that went straight to the bottom of his heart. The light in his eyes was brilliant. The first cat stood in the middle, as if bathed in the light of Buddha behind him. Jumping off the table with catwalks and climbing up the steps, it's time to find Li Ting to play.

He still stayed where he was, withdrew his hand in a daze, stared at the palm, recalled the fluffy and soft touch just now, and thought "whoosh—" a small pink arrow was shot, and the old tree blossomed all of a sudden, Chun Xin Rippled.
