senior [rebirth]

"Is it fun?" Seeing the child's embarrassment, Xu Han raised his eyebrows, and leaned against the wall of the entrance, with a wicked heart and never letting anyone go.

Lin Xi stuck out her tongue with her back turned to him, turned around and ran so fast that she didn't even dare to look at anyone.

After he sneaked into the kitchen, he immediately lowered his head to clean up the tools and biscuits on the countertop. He didn't know if it was because of nervousness, but he accidentally knocked and made loud noises.

Xu Hanlai at the door changed his position in a panic, leaning against the wall between the entrance and the kitchen, biting biscuits while looking at the children in the kitchen.

This shortbread is delicious, even slightly better than the biscuits that Lin Xi has made several times before, the taste is crispy and fragrant, very good.

Xu Hanlai was sure that this was the first time he ate it, but he still couldn't stop the familiar feeling from the entrance.

It was the same feeling that what Lin Xi said when he just entered the door brought him the same feeling.

Thinking of this, Xu Hanlai unconsciously squinted his eyes.

Most people's lives are either plain or ups and downs, and they always move forward, but his is different.Xu Hanlai always feels that his life seems to be more like episodes, no one knows when some memories that don't seem to belong to his life will pop up and fill his mind.

Very magical.

"...Senior?" A voice came into his ears, and Xu Hanlai finally came back to look at the children in the kitchen.

Lin Xi was a bit confused, as if he had called him many times, looking at the biscuit in his hand and then at him, hesitantly asked, "What's wrong? It's not delicious?"

"It's okay." Xu Han came to put down the biscuit.

He didn't like this kind of feeling very much before. These memories are no different from burdens in his life. He doesn't know the meaning of their existence.

But since he met this child, his thoughts seem to have changed a little.

"It's delicious." So he held up the biscuit and smiled softly at Lin Xi.

That night, Lin Xi was sent home by Xu Hanlai. Liu Hao originally said that they wanted to be together, but after going out, he answered a phone call and left in a hurry, saying that there was something urgent at home.

Lin Xi then walked slowly with Xu Hanlai.

It has been too long to go back to this period, and Lin Xi seems to have fully integrated into the current high school life.When passing by the familiar streets near Mancheng No. [-] Middle School, he seemed to almost forget what the commercial street looked like in his last life after it was successfully built, and the favorite coffee in the corner and alley seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him now.

He and his senior walked back all the way, discussing from time to time about setting up a stall with Liu Hao the next day.

For a young boy of this age, it would be a bit difficult to say how much he did during the summer vacation to do such a hard job, but once he reached an agreement with his friends, it seemed to become a joy among teenagers. In high spirits.

In particular, Lin Xi himself took this matter relatively broadly, so he had already had a heated discussion with them after Liu Hao returned home with the packing box in his arms. Unfortunately, Liu Hao left too suddenly, so Lin Xi could only Discuss the remaining unfinished ideas with the seniors separately.

He was very interested, and he seemed to have completely forgotten his experience as a pet cafe owner who sold desserts for many years, and cherished his upcoming experience of setting up a stall for the first time.

As for the reason, I don’t know whether it’s because I’m getting more and more used to being a high school student, or it’s because the feeling of working with friends and opening a pet cafe alone is more different after all.

In short, he said along the way, and Xu Hanlai listened quietly by the side.When the latter went out, he changed the clothes that were soiled by the doll he held before, and took a shower. Now he was wearing black short-sleeved clothes, and his fair skin was particularly eye-catching at night.

As Lin Xi talked, his attention shifted unconsciously from the "stall setting up" to the senior in the night. Looking at his pure black eyes and dark hair, he gradually calmed down.

At ten o'clock, there were still cars passing by on the Mancheng Avenue, just as a craftsman selling candied haws passed by the roadside, Xu Hanlai caught a glimpse of it, and asked for one for Lin Xi.

"Hey." Lin Xi stared at the candied haws in his hand for a moment, then laughed: "Candied haws."

Xu Hanlai: "Yes."

Then, while putting the change back into his pocket, he said, "Do you like to eat?"

Lin Xi chuckled, his light-colored eyes seemed to be shining, he took a bite after a while, then nodded and said, "Yeah."

He loved to eat it when he was very young. At that time, Lin Meiling was very kind to him. Every time he took him out and saw candied haws, he would buy him a bunch. Lin Xi liked tomato stuffing the most.

But then it was different.

Later, Gao Yiliang's temper deteriorated and his addiction to gambling intensified. Lin Xi secretly took the money he had saved so hard and wanted to eat candied haws once, but he went around all night and couldn't find it.The usual meek and slow personality suddenly lost his temper that night, and he didn't go home, squatting in a small corner nearby and crying for a long time, vowing never to eat candied haws again.

Thinking about it was not very happy, so Lin Xi never told anyone about it.However, after being rescued by his seniors, he seemed to push open the windows that he had closed in the past, and tried to buy one on his own initiative, which was also the last candied haws he ate when he was a student.

The sweet taste of sugar mixed with the aroma of tomatoes entered the mouth, pulling this past out of his mind, Lin Xi squinted his eyes, feeling very happy.

Because he still remembered that the candied haws he bought for his senior at that time tasted the same as the one now, both sweet and savory.

Looking at the child's smiling eyes, Xu Hanlai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to be so happy, and for a moment he had the urge to buy all those candied haws just now.

But he was calm after all, but he calmed down after a while. He stretched out his hand and pinched the child's cheek with candied haws in his mouth. After thinking for two seconds, he smiled and said, "Then let you try something special next time, do you want it?"

"Special?" Lin Xi bulged half of his cheeks, being attracted by his words, he forgot the movements of his hands for a moment.

"Yes." Xu Han replied, "I did it."

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Senior, can you make candied haws?"

The popularity of candied haws is completely different from cooking and desserts. Even Lin Xi never thought about making a candied haws by himself, but the senior actually said that he wanted him to try the candied haws he made?

"Yes." Xu Hanlai replied, but couldn't hold back, and touched the child's ear again.

Haven't actually studied it, but he knows how to do it.I can't remember when that method has been in my mind, and it just comes in handy now.

"Want to eat?" Xu Han didn't talk about these details, just pinched his ears and asked.

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded honestly: "Yes."

Then at this moment, he finally noticed the movement of the senior, and his ears warmed up unconsciously.

Xu Hanlai didn't seem to see it, he pinched it a couple more times, and then said with a smile: "Then wait."

Lin Xi was in a particularly good mood after returning home that day.

Although it was just a simple candied haws, Lin Xi was very happy, as if the things he lacked when he was a child were being compensated bit by bit.

And it was his favorite senior who did all of this.

So he returned home happily, took a bath safely, looked up at the clock after going out, and found that it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

And he was the only one at home like a few days ago, Li Rende was not there.

But maybe it was the previous conversation with Lin Xi that made Li Rende feel a little guilty, so today he sent a special message to Lin Xi, saying that he has a job outside and will return late, so he can sleep peacefully first.

Standing in the room, Lin Xi wiped his hair and read this message. His high mood because of his seniors sank a little bit.

Such a text message can be said to be the one he had been waiting for a few days ago but never received. It stands to reason that Lin Xi should be more at ease than before, but at this moment, his heart is very suspenseful for some reason, and he always feels like there is something wrong. Something bad is going to happen.

This premonition was so strong that even with the sweet candied haws from the senior, Lin Xi didn't sleep well that night for no reason.

But the facts verified his conjecture the next day.

The next day, Lin Xi was awakened by a scream.After his heart tightened suddenly, Lin Xi quickly opened his eyes, paused on the bed for a while, and then realized.

That was Lin Meiling and Li Rende's quarrel.
