hello old man

2003 7 Month 5 Day.

"Da, da da da... da da, da da..."

In a narrow and somewhat dilapidated room, the sound of typing on the keyboard came and went.

Xie Tan sat in front of the computer desk in the middle, his hands were flying on the keyboard without stopping.

There is no ventilation and the indoor air circulation is very poor.The room is about [-] to [-] square meters, but there are more than [-] people sitting there.

There is a table, a computer, and a large stack of papers in front of everyone.

Now it's summer again, people sweat a lot, and the whole house smells of sweat.

When the shift first came in, I almost suffocated.

Not long after, the two women finally started talking in a rambling voice.

"My family, Huimin, has finally been admitted to University H. I feel relieved. Even if I don't have money, I have to pay for her to finish her studies."

"Hey, your Huimin is quite obedient, isn't he still working part-time? The tuition should be enough, but my kid spends all day playing with those gangsters outside, it really hurts my heart."

The two aunts said one sentence to each other, chatting about their family's shortcoming.

The two of them came early in the morning, and the task was about to be completed, so they became more relaxed.

Most of the other people didn't relax and didn't speak, just listening to their chatter.

The two aunts suddenly lowered their voices while talking.

"Hey... Let me tell you, that kid over there seems to be from the same university as my Huimin."

Big Mom lifted her chin and gestured to her the other way.

There was a young man over there, sitting in a row of people.

The handsome fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, and the young man was wearing a white T-shirt that looked a bit old, and he was sitting in front of the computer like this.

From the side, one can vaguely see his good-looking face. Although there are obvious beads of sweat on his forehead, he is still restrained without losing his edge.It was incompatible with this dilapidated house full of aunts and uncles and a few punks.

"Ah? If you don't study in a good university, what are you doing here? It's hard and tiring..."

"Yes, but our family Huimin said that he is very famous in school. On the one hand, he has excellent grades, and on the other hand, many people know that he is an orphan. Alas, you know that he has no money to go to school. It's quite pitiful. "

Xie Tan's fingers tapped the keyboard faster and faster.

Because the frequency was different from ordinary people, the two aunts quickly noticed him and didn't speak anymore.

After 2 minutes, Xie Yan clicked Save, picked up the paper, and stood up from the chair.

"Huh? It's over, the young man is really fast."

An old man next to him couldn't help sighing, seeing the young man took the paper, took the money from the boss, and left quickly.

After Xie Yan left the house, the oncoming person was the sweeping Xia Feng.

Compared with the outside, the inside of the house is like another world.

The wind brushed across his face, sending away the heat and bringing a little coolness.

"Agreed!"

Xie Yan heard the sound and looked to the side.

This house is connected to a staircase full of rust, and going down is the street.

The young man stood on the street, raised his head and waved at him. Like him, he wore a white T-shirt and smiled brightly, revealing a small canine tooth.

Xie Dan's tired and unattractive expression relaxed a little, he turned around and went straight downstairs.

The stairs have been in disrepair for a long time, maybe every time you take a step, the rust will fall a little bit, Xie Yan is not walking fast, but in less than ten seconds, you have reached the young man.

"Is it too hot?" The young man asked, took out toilet paper from his belt, and handed it to him.

Xie Tan took it, and casually wiped off the sweat on his face.

The two turned around and walked to the other side of the street together.

"Today is our boss's birthday, and he gave out a red envelope. Let's go buy a popsicle, shall we?"

The young man walked up to him and took the initiative to ask him.

His eyes were big and bright, and there was a little bit of excitement in them.

Xie Tang briefly calculated the room, board and tuition fees in his mind, and he nodded his head just now when he thought it was feasible.

The price is high, the use is more, and the income is less. Almost every penny has to be carefully calculated, and I wish I could break it in half and use it.

The young man was obviously overjoyed, and ran to the canteen not far away to buy things.Xie Meng stood on the other side waiting for him, watching him happily open the freezer, and then pick and choose inside.

After a while, he raised his head and paid the clerk.

When he looked at Xie Meng from across the road, his eyes were almost full of stars.

Unconsciously, Xie Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

The young man quickly set foot on the road. This place is very remote, and there are no zebra crossings nearby, so he can only cross it like this.

There was a corner in front of him, and he walked very fast, he could only take two steps, when a car suddenly came galloping from the corner.

Xie Tan's heart tightened, and he unconsciously told him to be careful, but fortunately, the young man reacted quickly and retracted his feet in time.

After waiting for the car to pass by, he trotted over again just now.

Xie Yan was worried, before he came to him, he said: "Be careful of the car."

"Remember, I won't do it next time." The young man smiled and raised the popsicle in his hand to him.

The weather was so hot that the popsicle in his hand was about to melt.

And only took one.

Xie Yan was a little puzzled, and before he could ask, he had already handed over the popsicle: "I don't want to eat ice anymore, I'm afraid my throat will hurt at night, you eat it."

He smiled warmly and sincerely, making Xie Tang aware of the truth and unable to refuse.

Xie Tan stretched out his hand, took the popsicle, tore open the package in twos and twos, met his gaze, and stuffed the popsicle into his mouth unexpectedly.

"Together."

A small popsicle, you take a bite, I take a bite, and it will be eaten soon.

Together, he threw the rubbish into the dilapidated trash can by the side of the road, and then couldn't help but ask Xie Yan: "Ayan, do your hands still hurt today?"

Xie Yan habitually clenched his fist and shook his head: "It's okay."

The young man also glanced at his hand, maybe he already knew the answer would be like this.

But he still looked worried, and asked, "Shall we go home?"

"Wait a minute." Xie Meng didn't agree to him directly this time, but continued to say, "Let's go check the stocks."

The young man nodded and followed his footsteps.

The two did not choose to take the car, but walked there.When I arrived, it was almost the end of get off work there, but it was still crowded with people. When I walked around, I could feel the heat from people.

Xie Yan and him were squeezed several times before finally walking in.

Noisy and noisy, vaguely, the young man only heard him say, let himself sit here and wait for him, and then, he couldn't even see the figure.

Just wait, the young man managed to avoid people's push and move, and silently leaned against the side of the bench, not daring to move again.

Just in time, a person on the bench got up and left. In order to prevent being squeezed again, he sat down on his buttocks, and waited for Xie Meng to come back.

Xie Dan quickly squeezed into the crowd, took out his ID card and necessary items, and soon opened an account successfully.

He looked up and watched the trend of the stocks displayed on the big screen.

There were noisy voices around, but in his place, there were only two voices left.

purchase?Not buying?

If you don't buy it, it's a stock that he has observed for a long time. Although it can't be compared with those big companies, it has great potential. At this time, he should be able to make a small profit.

If you want to buy... Xie Meng lowered his head subconsciously, looking at the money in his hand.

Mr. Lin would not say anything, but... the money in his hands is the money he earned from typing this month, which is also living expenses.

In other words, his family property is only so much. If he invests in it and gets nothing, he will not even have food.

Xie Meng didn't hesitate too long, and bought it anyway.

Anyway, this is the state, it is better to give it a try.

Moreover, he also believes that he can.

Master Lin was sitting on the bench, staring straight ahead with a pair of almond eyes. If people passing by accidentally touched him, he would remain indifferent and continue to watch.

Stay and behave.

What Xie Yan saw at that time was such a scene.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked forward.

After leaving the stock exchange, about three to four ten minutes later, the two walked on a remote path, relying on the dim street lights, and walked back.

Except for a few street lamps that are far apart, and the occasional sparks that light up in nearby famous buildings, there is only darkness left.

There were a few thugs with malicious intentions in front, who were leisurely leaning against the street lamp and whistling, as if they were hinting at something.

At this time, there was no crackdown on gangsters, and in this impoverished area, such gangsters were almost everywhere in the streets.

And the punks who usually come out to activities at night are almost all the punks who are not bad among this bunch of punks.

It is common for them to steal money and do evil.

Seeing that group of people in front of him, Master Lin subconsciously moved towards Xie Yan.

Surprisingly, the group of punks just walked past them while staring at them.

In the dark night, the sound of dogs barking came from a distance, ethereal and invisible, yet inexplicably desolate.Xie Yan walked past them without looking sideways.

When the two of them walked further into the darkness, the little bastard standing by the streetlight just took a deep puff of his cigarette and asked, "Brother Lei, why don't we go up and ask for some supper money?"

The gang leader standing in front didn't answer him, but the person on the other side slapped his head hard: "Are you stupid? Take them and get beaten?"

After only hitting once, he let go, snatched the cigarette from the little gangster, and took a puff slowly, his voice was a little lower, with a hint of fear: "You didn't see...that tall guy can hit. "

If you rob them again, you are afraid that your money will be robbed by them.

Walking in, there are also one or two dilapidated low-rise residential buildings with poor sound insulation, and you can hear the people upstairs scolding your mother when you walk on the street.

In front of a small building, Xie Yan and Master Lin turned around and went up.

The same iron frame building is covered with rust and oil stains, and the environment is very harsh.

There was almost no light at night, and I walked in the dark, all relying on the miserable moonlight cast in from the sky.

Tuition fees are expensive, and accommodation fees will naturally not be low.

This is probably the place with the lowest rental price in the city. Both of them are still studying, so they can save a lot of money by paying the rent together.

While Master Lin was still climbing the stairs, he began to fumble for the keys in his pocket.He was afraid that when he reached the second floor, he would be completely invisible and could not find the key.

With only one key, he walked ahead of Xie Yan and quickly opened the door.

This room is only [-] square meters, and there are two upright mattresses against the wall, and a few clothes in other places.Something, then nothing.

Xie Tang turned on the light, the two walked into the room, the two big men squeezed in, it seemed even narrower for a moment.

When they first came here, there was everything in it.

Rats and cockroaches all play in this small house as if it were a back garden, and if it is convenient for the place, they will still mate and give birth here.

Fortunately, both of them are quite hygienic, and they have been very firm on the road of deworming and cleaning.When neither of them had a part-time job, they would still do a good job of cleaning. After living for a year, they were finally quite clean.

The two changed their slippers, picked up their clothes and a bucket, and started walking down.

This street is broken, but at least it is still humane, and there are still public bathrooms.

Master Lin was very happy because he got a red envelope today, and kept talking non-stop. Xie Yan listened quietly and walked all the way to the bathhouse.

Although the sanitation in the bathroom is not very good, it is better than having no place to bathe.

The water bill also needs to be paid. After taking a shower, I took advantage of the opportunity to wash the clothes together before returning home.

Xie Meng stood by the balcony of the small house, twisting the clothes from the bucket.

Water droplets flowed from the end of the clothes, and under the dim light, the brightness could be seen faintly.

He stretched out his hand to twist it, and the water droplets fell into the bucket with a louder sound.

"Agreed."

At this moment, Master Lin called him.

Xie Tan turned his head, he had already unwound the clothes in his hands, ready to hang them to dry.

Master Lin stood aside, holding freshly washed clothes in his hand.

He seemed to ask casually: "What kind of girl do you like?"

Xie Dan paused for a moment, turned around and picked up the hanger.

Seeing that he hadn't answered for a long time, Master Lin felt that he had no strength in twisting his clothes. Just as he was about to tell him not to say anything he didn't want to answer, Xie Yan's calm and leisurely voice reached his ears.

"I like men."

Master Lin lowered his head, water drops fell from between his fingers and splashed into the bucket.

He himself smiled imperceptibly, but didn't dare to make a sound, just raised the corners of his mouth.

Xie Dan had already put his clothes, trousers and underpants on the air, and after putting the bucket away, he turned to help him dry it.

After a row of clothes were hung outside the house, Master Lin turned around and put the bucket away.

Xie Yan heard him speak.

"Me too."

I don't know why, but Xie Meng could hear the hint of joy in his seemingly calm tone.

Although it is cooler at night, the small building is still like an airtight steamer.

After the bed was put down, the space was even narrower, the mattress was very small, and the two of them almost fell asleep side by side.

His back was pressed tightly against the mattress and it was very hot.

Master Lin held a fan made of discarded books in his hand, and shook it intermittently. The wind would often sweep Xie Yan's face, cooling off.

The arms of the two were tightly attached, even though it was so hot, no matter whether it was day or night, they were the only ones to rely on.

"Master Lin." Xie Meng called him suddenly, his voice was soft and gentle.

"What's the matter?" Master Lin's movement of fanning the wind was a little slower, and in the darkness, he seemed to look sideways at him.

"Next month, should we go back and have a look?"

"That's right." There were a lot of things going on recently, and Master Lin remembered it only after being reminded by him.Laughed twice, and replied: "It's time to go back and see uncle, his health is getting worse and worse."

The two grew up together there since they were young, and they would often go back. It seems that no matter where they go, there is always concern.

"Also, I've also taken a fancy to a stock." Master Lin turned his body completely, but he still hadn't forgotten to fan the wind: "When you buy next month, you'll be bullish, and save your money first. It must be fine."

Xie Yan nodded and agreed.

During the summer vacation, there is a lot of time to work, maybe he can find some other jobs.

Xie Meng's fingers were aching.

He has been typing for nearly a year and a half, and he also knows what kind of problem it may be. If he continues to do this work, he may lose his hand.

"When I make some more money, I'll buy you a watch." Master Lin resumed his lying posture again: "It doesn't matter if I own it or not. You are so absorbed in your work that you often forget the time."

He rambled on, obviously already eighteen, but his tone was different from the romantic and cuteness of an adult: "Although you can't afford expensive ones, you can't buy bad ones either..."

"No need." Xie Yan replied quickly: "Waste of money."

Master Lin just laughed and didn't answer him again.

Only the silent wind still stays on the face, like the people around, safe and quiet.

It was very early in the summer, it was only around five o'clock, and the outside light was already coming in through the gaps in the clothes on the window sill.

One or two spots of light finally landed on Xie Meng's face, and after a while, they suddenly disappeared again.

It was still cool in the morning, it wasn't very hot, Xie Yan slept soundly, just about to turn over a little bit to save some space for Master Lin, he suddenly sensed something was wrong and opened his eyes.

A pair of big and bright eyes were looking at him intently.

Let him see it as soon as he opens his eyes.

The eyes are full of a clear, rippling smile, a little bit of a feeling of exploration, and some things that Xie Yan can't catch, but they are extremely beautiful.

Master Lin was lying on top of him, looking at him.

He blocked the light spot with his body, and the remaining light flooded to his side and turned into a blurred line, which was very beautiful.

Xie Yan just woke up, still a little dazed.

He chose to close his eyes, as if he was awake for a moment, and fell asleep in the next second.

I vaguely heard Master Lin laughing, and then, his face seemed to touch something soft.

It went straight to the bottom of my heart, melting like the clarity in Master Lin's eyes.

When Xie Tan was about to open his eyes again, Master Lin had already got off his body, lay down on the outside, and continued to sleep.

As soon as Xie Dan went out the next day, he went to finish the task of typing, and then started looking for a new job.

When he left and went down the stairs, his middle and index fingers were already stiff with pain.Xie Meng pressed it forcefully and continued to move forward.

Master Lin works in a restaurant. Because of his cute appearance, obedient, hardworking and capable, everyone in the restaurant treats him well and leaves work before him.

In the past, he would come to Xie Meng after get off work. Xie Meng thought about whether he could find a job today, and then went to tell him.

With one more job and less burden, plus other part-time jobs and stocks, it should...maybe I can live in another place.

It doesn't matter where he lives, it's just that Master Lin can't.The environment there was harsh, his skin was fragile, and he was allergic several times a year. In the worst case, the rash on his back lasted for half a month.

And there are a lot of gangsters in the neighborhood. One group is cleaned up today, and another group may be replaced tomorrow.

Sometimes he had to work overtime on a part-time job, and it was really not safe for Mr. Lin to go back alone.

No matter what, at least change the place first.

Xie Meng had seen a job advertisement before, he was working as an intern in the company for a month, college students are also welcome.

With the mentality of giving it a try, he submitted his resume and received a notification yesterday that he could go for an interview.

Because it's a small company, you don't actually need to wear formal attire. Xie Yan took a fancy to this, so he submitted his resume.

The company is located at the junction of prosperity and remoteness. From here, land prices and housing prices have begun to rise, reaching heights that ordinary people cannot reach.

According to the above address, Xie Dan took the elevator to the twelfth floor.

Even if it is a small company, there are many people who come to interview.Most of them are young people, as he expected, because the entry barrier is low, and few wear formal clothes.

Soon to Xie Yan.

After he went in, he answered a few questions, and the other party asked him to wait for the notification, and then the interview ended.

When Xie Yan walked out of the office, he just let go of his clenched fist.

For his first interview, he was indeed a little nervous, but it was within a surmountable range.

When he got off the elevator, there were still many people waiting for the interview outside.

It is not easy to find a job now.

Xie Dan got off the elevator and walked to the stock exchange.

The rise of the stock was not bad, but Xie Yan didn't plan to stop yet, seeing that the time was coming, he turned to the restaurant where Master Lin worked.

Master Lin just got off work, changed his clothes, and was about to walk out of the restaurant.

Xie Meng stood outside the restaurant, facing the counter.Through a layer of glass doors, I vaguely heard that when Master Lin walked by, the girl in front of the counter asked with a smile: "Your boyfriend? I think he was the one who picked you up last time."

Master Lin smiled, under the dim light, it looked unbelievably good-looking.

He shook his head: "male friend, sister gets off work early, go home and rest more."

There is no phone, no computer, so the only way to contact me is the mailbox, which is just a decoration.

After Xie Dan typed the next day, he glanced at the mailbox.

The other party informed him to go to work tomorrow.

Xie Tan turned off the computer, took the last sum of money here, turned and left.

Although he is an intern clerk, the work is still much easier than typing all day long. Xie Meng soon became familiar with the work there, and his relationship with his colleagues and superiors is pretty good.

Apart from working overtime, he gets off work earlier than Master Lin.

Before leaving get off work, Xie Yan sat in his seat, calculated all the income and expenses of this month, as well as the tuition fee for September, and secretly made a decision.

It was raining slightly tonight, and there were more people in the restaurant than usual.

In the same way, it is equivalent to Master Lin having to work overtime.

But fortunately, today Xie Meng also came later than usual, after only a while, Master Lin got off work.

He was still standing outside, holding a black umbrella.

Master Lin bid farewell to everyone, hurried out the door, and bumped into Xie Dan's umbrella.

Together with the water splashes on the ground, it adds a bit of gorgeous color.

The rain is falling, and the umbrella is like a small world, which isolates all the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Some sounds can be heard vaguely, but it is much more peaceful.

There is only each other under the umbrella.

Although Xie Yan had no expression on his face, he seemed to be in a happy mood.Although Master Lin didn't speak, the corners of his lips were always raised, and both of them were happy at the same time.

After returning home, in order to prevent someone from taking the umbrella away, Xie Yan brought it in and put it on the balcony.

"I paid my salary today." Master Lin lowered his head, tidied up his clothes, and continued in a relaxed tone, "I bought a small thing."

Xie Yan nodded, put his clothes away, looked back at him, and said, "Me too."

While talking, the two turned around at the same time, facing each other in the dim environment.

Xie Tan saw it, Master Lin was still smiling.

It is very sincere and beautiful, like a crescent moon in the night sky, emitting light. When walking at night, you can see the long road ahead without deliberately looking up.

The space was narrow, so he walked up to Xie Meng in two or three steps, and then carefully took out a box from his shirt pocket.

Xie Yan stretched out his hand and opened it.

is a watch.

It's still pretty.

Master Lin suddenly became nervous, he didn't even look at Xie Yan, he stared at the watch and said: "I... this watch is not expensive, but it can always let you tell the time, next time don't get so addicted Whatever happens, pay attention to yourself."

He still speaks fluently, but there is always a hint of stuttering.

Xie Meng reached out and picked up the watch.

Master Lin himself didn't have any, and he often didn't know the time, but he bought him a watch.

For the two of them, it was too polite to say thank you.

Xie Tan put the watch in his hand, reached for the box, and put it on the side.

He just stretched out his hand in front of Master Lin, "Help me put it on, can you?"

Master Lin laughed again.

He raised his head and glanced at Xie Meng, who was standing in the backlight, and the light was dim, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

But he could clearly feel that Xie Meng was delighted.

He quickly raised his hand again, took the watch, and put it on carefully.

Xie Tan's hands are nice and thin, he even told the clerk to help him untie two chains, and now it looks like it really fits well.

Xie Meng felt that there was a little more weight on his hand, he withdrew his hand, went into his pocket, took out the small mobile phone, and handed it to Master Lin as if nothing had happened.

Master Lin was stunned, Xie Dan turned around and continued to fold clothes.

PHS, in fact, is not very expensive, most people here have it.

It's just... The two of them spent too much money, so they still don't have a mobile phone.

Although the two universities he attended were very good, the tuition fees were high, and the various expenses for one semester were overwhelming.When I first came out, I had no relatives, no help, and I could only rely on myself.

The accommodation fee is expensive, so rent the worst house to live in.

If the tuition fee is high, then take more odd jobs and part-time jobs.

If life is stressful, try to be frugal and buy less.

When I was a child in the orphanage, the uncle would send gifts to each child, including candies and toys.

Until now, Master Lin couldn't remember how long he hadn't received a gift.

Master Lin felt that his voice was a little hoarse, and he asked, "You didn't even... bought it for me, who will call me?"

Xie Yan didn't stop, and suddenly smiled.

The voice was very soft, but in Master Lin's ears, it was full of strength: "I will buy it soon."

Life will get better and better.must.

After all, it was so difficult in the past, but it was over.

After the start of the new semester, Xie Yan also finished his internship. Both of them received scholarships from the previous semester, and they also made a lot of money by relying on stocks.

Life suddenly became much easier. They moved out of that small building and moved to a place closer to the city with a much better environment.

In the fall, I went back to the orphanage. It seemed a bit old there, but the director uncle also said that next year the government will help to move to a new location.

Although the environment in the new house is good, the place is small, and the two still sleep together.

It's not cool here in autumn, but it's also a bit cold. The two of them covered themselves with a thin quilt, fell asleep, and leaned against each other.

Master Lin sings very well, Xie Tang loves to listen to his brother's songs, but he is different, he loves the song god, he hums a line or two whenever he has something to do.

In the middle of the night, Xie Yan had a rare insomnia and found that he couldn't fall asleep.

Turning around, he suddenly found that Master Lin, who was half leaning on his body, was not asleep either.

After all, a pair of almond eyes are big and bright even in the dark.

Master Lin noticed his movements, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"I can't sleep." Xie Yan's voice was very soft, and suddenly he said slowly: "Sing to me."

Master Lin nodded, opened his mouth and was about to sing his brother's song, and suddenly remembered that Xie Meng sat silently for a whole day on April Fool's Day this spring, and couldn't sing in an instant.

He decided to sing the song of his own song god, and in response to the occasion, he slowly cleared his throat, and the soft voice reached Xie Meng's ears.

"Autumn is strong away from people's hearts, and autumn is strong"

"A glass of wine has many emotions"

Xie Tan slowly closed his eyes, everything was quiet, only Master Lin's singing.

Only Master Lin's singing made him feel extremely at ease.

"There are many farewells in the season when leaves fall"

"Hold your hand in your heart"

"I want you to remember the wordless promise"

Master Lin's body temperature on his back is not the scorching heat that makes people subconsciously want to stay away, but warmth.

From his limbs, it flows all the way to the internal organs.

"I'm not afraid of lovesickness, I'm afraid of your pain"

"I only complain that people gather and disperse in the wind, and I can't help myself"

Master Lin's voice was very low, because it was late at night, and he was lying on the bed again. He suppressed the treble a few times, and sang behind him, but it was indescribably good.

Xie Yan seemed to understand something.

When he was born, it was the first time he wanted to, and time would always stay at a certain moment.

Then he hoped it was this moment.

Even if life goes by like this, it's fine.

In his spare time, Xie Yan would hold Master Lin's wrist and walk around the street together.

Master Lin often said with a smile that even if he has money in the future, he should not live in the city center because it is too busy and noisy.

For the future, there are always infinite hopes.

Autumn falls into the world, slowly leaves, and winter arrives as promised.

In the few days approaching the end of the new year, it was rare that there was a light snowfall. Now that the economic conditions are much better, the two of them have prepared the new year's goods and are just waiting to celebrate the new year at home.

In the afternoon of the Chinese New Year, Master Lin said that he was going out. Before going out, he saw that Xie Dan was still cleaning up the house.

After he changed his shoes, he turned around and saw Xie Meng inadvertently, and for some reason, a huge feeling of reluctance suddenly rose in his heart.

The emotion was so violent that it almost overwhelmed him.It was also a feeling he had never had before, and Master Lin couldn't help but look at him a few more times, as if these few glances, he was going to be remembered for the rest of his life.

"Ah Tan." Master Lin still called out to him.

"Huh?" Xie Yan cast his eyes on him, seeing that he was still smiling.

"When I come back today, can you promise me something?" Master Lin asked, quietly waiting for his answer.

As for what that matter was, both of them were tacit.

In fact, they have been accompanying each other all the time, so this is just an extra name.

Xie Meng stared at him and smiled.

He put down the broom in his hand and nodded: "I promise you when I come back."

Master Lin smiled. He had never smiled so brightly. At that moment, his small snow-white canine teeth were completely exposed.

He waved his hand and closed the door.

"Then wait for me to come back."

His echoes dissipated in the stairwell.

Xie Yan started cooking at home.

In fact, Master Lin has always been doing this work, because Master Lin worked in a restaurant, even if he hadn't done it himself, he still knew it by ear, and the food he made was quite delicious.

And Xie Yan was in charge of washing the dishes.

But he went out today, Xie Meng wanted to cook a New Year's Eve dinner by himself, and eat together when he came back.

He imitated Master Lin's usual appearance, cooking, washing and chopping vegetables seriously.

Estimating the time, he fried the dish again and tried it himself before he dared to bring it to the table.

Xie Meng began to sit at the dining table and wait.

After waiting for a long time, it is not too long, and after a while, he will tell himself that Master Lin should be back soon.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and there were laughter and laughter outside.Xie Dan sat in the shadow, after a while, reached out and turned on the light, ready to continue waiting.

The dishes are already cold.

He slowly took out his mobile phone, ready to call Master Lin to ask if something happened.

Just in time, the moment he took out the phone from his pocket, the screen of the phone also lit up.

Xie Yan didn't even have time to look at the phone number, so he took it.

It's just that I didn't expect that it wasn't Master Lin's voice, but a male voice that seemed cold in a hurry.

"Hi, hello, is this Mr. Xie? This is the Third City Hospital. Your relative, Mr. Lin Shi, suffered a serious car accident on Wuzhong Avenue. I need you..."

Xie Dan picked up his wallet, almost rushed out the door, went downstairs and took a taxi.

He wanted the driver to drive faster, but recalling the content of the call, he never spoke.

The Third City Hospital is not far from here, but he feels that every time his sore fingers are stretched, the seconds feel like years.

The car stopped quickly, Xie Meng hurriedly paid the money, and rushed up.The two elevators were full, so he ran up the stairs next to him without even thinking about it.

There were so many people, he couldn't see Master Lin.

How fast his heartbeat was, he was already unable to take care of it.

Even sadness is too late to use.

There were fewer people in front, Xie Yan turned his head and suddenly saw a lot of people walking towards this side.

They pushed the bed, and the bed was covered in blood.

Like a touch of bright red in the white and clean world, a gorgeous flower blooms, telling people all the time that it is about to wither.

Xie Tan ran over uncontrollably, his feet still slipping a bit.

He had no time to take care of his own emotions, and put everything on Master Lin.

And he was covered in blood and was being pushed forward by medical staff.

Master Lin closed his eyes tightly, and even his eyelashes were stained with blood.

From his forehead and back of his head, it spread all the way to the snow-white bed sheet.

Xie Tan's trembling hand caressed his face unconsciously, but only touched those hot and humid things.

His breathing was rapid, and the degree of heaving and rising of his chest was very close to that of Xie Yanshou's trembling, until they were consistent.

He had to follow the steps of the medical staff and send Master Lin into the operating room.

They were talking, and when it reached Xie Tang's ears, there was only one sentence left: "The patient lost a lot of blood, and his body was severely damaged in many places. The forced treatment just now will probably only..."

They are giving Xie the last time.

Ruthlessly pronounced everything.

He buried his head on the side of Master Lin's head, and he couldn't tell whether what was in front of him was blood or tears.

Master Lin tried hard to call his name, but Xie Yan knew his intention, so he could only answer hysterically again and again: "It's me, it's me..."

He suppressed his emotions and took a deep breath.

Xie Tan still had Master Lin's snow on his face, together with his own tears, the tears washed away the bloodstains, it looked terrifying but sad.

"Master Lin, listen to me..."

Xie Yan held his hand tightly, as if grasping everything: "I am Ah Yan, I am Ah Yan..."

His tone was quick and flustered, and the salty liquid touched his mouth, and he felt that despair had already spread in his heart.

"Master Lin... didn't you say, didn't you say, wait for you to come back, wait for you to come back,
