Rebirth of Li Xiaoqi

Although he has lived and studied in T City for four years, to be honest, Li Xiaoqi is not familiar with the surrounding roads and environment at all.The neighborhood here is mainly a mid-end residential area, and there are also some relaxing coffee shops and bars, but it is the morning and the Spring Festival, and not many are officially open for business, so Li Xiaoqi and Lin Zhili went around for a while before finding one. Open coffee shop.

This is a very ordinary coffee shop, and of course it cannot be compared with Easy, but fortunately, the two of them didn't care, and found an inconspicuous corner after entering the shop and sat down.However, no matter how inconspicuous the corner was, Li Xiaoqi and Lin Zhili looked quite conspicuous at this time, after all, they were the only guests at their table in the whole store.

As soon as I sat down, a young woman greeted me, first said "Happy New Year", and then asked what I wanted to order.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Lin Zhili looked at Li Xiaoqi gently and asked.

"I've eaten." Li Xiaoqi nodded.

"Or white coffee?"

"Ah."

"What do you want for dessert?"

Li Xiaoqi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I have to save my stomach before I can eat extravagantly at noon."

"Okay, up to you." Lin Zhili said with a slight smile, with a little imperceptible pampering in his tone.Then he turned to the woman beside him and said, "A cup of white coffee, a cup of milk and a sandwich, thank you."

The woman repeated it, and after confirming that it was correct, she smiled politely and kindly at the two of them and said "please wait a moment" before turning and leaving.

"Brother Li, you didn't have breakfast?"

"No, I just finished work and wanted to go out to get some fresh air and have some breakfast by the way. I didn't expect to meet you."

Li Xiaoqi looked at Lin Zhili, and if he looked carefully, he could find that his eyes were a little red, and he could see the dark circles under his eyes, "Work all night?"

Lin Zhili nodded.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoqi couldn't help feeling: "Brother Li, don't you have a Spring Festival holiday?"

Lin Zhili smiled, "There is a day off on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

"What kind of spring break is one day!" Li Xiaoqi complained, "Your boss will be arrested and sent to jail for oppressing artists like this!"

Lin Zhili smiled, noncommittal.What Li Xiaoqi didn't know was that when he reached Lin Zhili's position, the boss had to negotiate with him. If he didn't want to, the boss couldn't force him.Therefore, it was Lin Zhili's own wish to work all the time during the Spring Festival.

Because there were no other guests except the two of them, drinks and food were served soon.

It was the same woman who ordered Li Xiaoqi's white coffee before, but stood still after placing Li Xiaoqi's white coffee in front of him, and asked with some hesitation and excitement, "Well, may I ask, are you Lin Zhili?"

Lin Zhili didn't do any cover-up work, and he didn't even wear the sunglasses that celebrities always wear, so it's only natural for him to be recognized.

Looking up and smiling at the woman, Lin Zhili said: "Yes."

"Ah, ah! That, that, hello, you are me, oh no, I am your fan." The woman instantly became incoherent.

"Thank you." Lin Zhili nodded while maintaining a smile.

"Ah, oh, um, boss, boss, can I shake your hand?" At this moment, the woman's cheeks were flushed with excitement.

"Of course." Lin Zhili stood up and stretched out his hand.

The woman immediately stretched out her hand to shake it back, but as if dissatisfied, she shook it with the other hand. Both hands tightly wrapped Lin Zhili's hand, shaking it non-stop, with tears in her eyes.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaoqi even understood that if he saw the old thief Fu Jian one day, he would definitely be in the same situation as the woman in front of him. However, his feelings towards the old thief were more complicated, it was love and hate.

The woman kept holding on to Lin Zhili's hand, and Lin Zhili couldn't help but at this moment a young man came and patted the woman on the shoulder to signal her to calm down, and the woman reacted and let go of her hand. Apologizing embarrassingly.

"It's okay." Lin Zhili's facial expression and language didn't change at all. After the man took the woman away, Lin Zhili sat back on the chair.

The atmosphere returned to its original state, and the slow pure music reverberated in the store.

Li Xiaoqi took a sip of his coffee, and only belatedly remembered that he was deliberately staying away from Lin Zhili recently. He didn't expect that he just ran off the bus on impulse, or by mistake. Thinking about it this way, his current situation The position was indeed a little awkward, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he lowered his head and drank the coffee vigorously.

Seeing Li Xiaoqi like this, Lin Zhili knew that the kid had only reacted now, and couldn't help but find it funny. With this level of slowness, he might even win the Guinness Book of Records.

Seeing Li Xiaoqi drinking the coffee as if it were plain water, Lin Zhili said, "Is it so delicious?"

"Well, it's okay." Li Xiaoqi muttered.

"Don't drink in such a hurry, you're worried about choking." As soon as the words came out, Li Xiaoqi was choked and coughed.

Lin Zhili got up, asked the man before him for a glass of warm water, stood beside Li Xiaoqi, handed the water to him, and patted his back to help him breathe.After Li Xiaoqi recovered a little, he sat back in his original position.

"Thank you, Brother Li." Li Xiaoqi thanked.

For a while, the two were speechless, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"About the photo, do you think I'm angry with you?" Lin Zhili asked directly, and he also knew that if he talked too much, Li Xiaoqi might not be able to understand.

Hearing Lin Zhili's question, Li Xiaoqi raised his head and looked over at once, then his eyes drifted a little, and he lowered his head, he knew that he should choose a negative answer at this time, but he hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded, "Yes. "

"Then, you just avoid me?"

Li Xiaoqi didn't speak, just buried his head lower.I couldn't help asking myself in my heart, is my performance so obvious?

Seeing him like this, Lin Zhili smiled inwardly, stretched out his hand to ruffle his already untidy hair, and said with a warm smile in his voice, "I'm not angry."

Li Xiaoqi raised his eyes and glanced at him, then quickly moved away, as if saying "You are lying" in his eyes.

"Not really angry."

"Of course, I was a little unhappy in the car, but this 'unhappiness' is not for you, but for myself." Lin Zhili continued.

This time Li Xiaoqi was willing to meet his gaze, but there was still some doubt in his eyes.

Lin Zhili smiled lightly, the corners of his mouth even slightly mocking himself, "In this world, no matter who you are, there will be one or two secrets that you don't want others to know, do you agree with that?"

Li Xiaoqi nodded.

Turning his head to look and confirming the surrounding environment, Lin Zhili took out the wallet from his pocket, opened it and placed it in front of Li Xiaoqi, and tapped the photo in the wallet with his slender fingers, "This, I don't want to Let others know the secret."

"Do you think she is beautiful?" Lin Zhili did not continue to accept why he was unhappy with him, but asked a question that was not very relevant.

"Pretty." Li Xiaoqi replied truthfully.

"She and I were college classmates. At that time, she was the school belle. Although I hadn't debuted yet, I was considered a well-known talent. You know, a talent and school belle are always considered a couple by others. At that time, because of the expectations around There is also a good feeling for each other, we dated naturally. After that, she was still the school girl, and I debuted naturally, and of course we are still together; after that, many things happened, and we were destined to be boundless after all. " Lin Zhili looked at the somewhat old photo, and said lightly, his eyes seemed to be recalling, but also seemed to be sighing, the whole person seemed to be missing something, and his eyes seemed a little dim.

Knowing that his emotions were somewhat lost in memory, Lin Zhili adjusted a bit, turned his gaze back to Li Xiaoqi, and then continued: "The authorities are obsessed with the onlooker, and this sentence can only be deeply understood after experiencing it. I know, the original "favorite" gradually turned into "love" at some point, but I realized it was too late, it was too late. So at that time, I was not angry at you for seeing this secret, Just angry with the youthful self I used to be and the one I can't let go of now."

After taking a sip of milk, he paused before saying, "Do you understand what I said?"

"Barely." Li Xiaoqi replied after thinking for a while.

"Then, you don't have to avoid me from now on, do you?"

"I didn't avoid you in the first place." He stubbornly denied the facts that happened before.

A few days ago, Zeng Zhonglian explained the meaning of a word to him, the word is "tsundere", although he still can't understand this word very deeply, but Lin Zhili thought in his heart, Li Xiaoqi in front of him at this time, should It could also be considered a kind of arrogance.

Feeling amused in his heart, he took out the mobile phone from his pocket, opened the text message record with Li Xiaoqi, and then pushed the mobile phone in front of him.Lin Zhili smiled and said, "Don't you think the style of text messages has changed too much recently?"

Pressing the lock screen button directly, covering the wallet in front of him, and pressing the phone on it, Li Xiaoqi decisively changed the subject, "Brother Li, why don't you eat a sandwich."

Lin Zhili drank most of the milk in front of him, but the sandwich was left there untouched after only two mouthfuls.

Not intending to embarrass Li Xiaoqi, Lin Zhili walked down his ladder, "Maybe it's a side effect of staying up late at work, and I don't have much appetite."

"That's right, I used to play games all night and I didn't have an appetite the next day." I have to say, Li Xiaoqi turned the topic stiffly, and answered stiffly, but he didn't notice it at all, and suggested: "Why don't the people who just said Can a sister cook a bowl of porridge for you? Isn't she a fan of yours?"

"Do you want the topic of 'Lin Zhili playing a big game and ordering fans to cook porridge' appear on the headline?" Lin Zhili is not very used to Li Xiaoqi's strange brain circuit, and he doesn't know how Hongchen and Guan Yong taught him. of.

……

Stars are in trouble!Li Xiaoqi complained in his heart.

"Ah, yes!" I don't know what to think of, the pair of beautiful eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses lit up, and Li Xiaoqi stood up and walked towards the cashier.
