senior [rebirth]

After the small agreement with the senior was reached, Lin Xi's mood continued to rise for several days.

The biscuits made afterwards seem to have a sweet taste that seems to be absent.

Xu Hanlai seemed to have noticed it, and gradually changed from keeping a distance from them most of the time in the past few days to always staying by Lin Xi's side, and occasionally reaching out to touch his head when he was eating happily.

Although I still use the computer alone at night, the sense of alienation I felt before has improved a lot.

Although Liu Hao was not happy about the fact that there was only half a month left to set up the stall, he still insisted on following their past schedule.

During the day, we should go out to the stall, and in the afternoon, we should make biscuits.

Although occasionally when it comes to study time, there will be a rebellious and resistant mentality because of the upcoming senior year, but these will basically be killed by Guo Yunian in the cradle.

In this way, a few more days passed.

When Liu Hao, under the chorus of Lin Xi and Guo Yu, had almost accepted the fact that he was really going to enter the third year of high school, and decided to go through the July stall plan with everyone, things changed suddenly.

It was nine o'clock in the evening on the tenth day since the establishment of the four-person stall group.

The work of biscuit making has been successfully completed, and the kitchen smells of sweetness left over from the end of baking.

After several people cleaned up, they turned off the ceiling lights in the kitchen, and the lights in the living room were switched on, creating a comfortable and warm space together with the central air conditioner.

According to the habits that have been carried over from the previous few days, it is time for them to enter the learning state.

Guo Yu and Lin Xi have always been more self-conscious. After cleaning up, they should take a break to read the test questions and study the papers.

And it stands to reason that Liu Hao should also hurry up and finish memorizing the small part of English words left before, but there are only a few left, but he can't memorize it as if he is stuck. , After an hour, I didn't even remember a single one.

In his own words, he has reached the period of burnout, he is tired of memorizing, and he needs to change his appetite.

He found too many excuses, Guo Yu has long been used to it.If he really doesn't want to memorize English, he will change his mind to read some chemistry knowledge points.

How much difference can various elemental analysis and elemental formulas in chemistry be different from English words?Liu Hao stared at it for a long time, making sure that he didn't like to memorize it, but he didn't want to be talked about by Guo Yu any more, so before he started to read the two lines, he just indulged his old problem and slipped into the bathroom with his mobile phone as an excuse.

This slip is a full 10 minutes.

When he came out again, Liu Hao probably realized that it had been too long, and he didn't dare to walk ostentatiously. Instead, he opened the bathroom door and looked out secretly.

The light in the living room is warm and there is an air conditioner. The temperature is much more pleasant than that in the bathroom. Unlike the brightly lit windows, the indoor atmosphere is quiet.

Lin Xi was still leaning against the floor when he entered, with a just-finished physics paper laid out in front of him.

He was the last one to take a shower today, and he washed his hair together, but he committed an old problem and didn't blow it.

Liu Hao guessed that this child should prefer to take a hot bath that is higher than usual, so every time he comes out of the bathroom, his cheeks are flushed, and it won't go away for a long time.

At this moment, he was looking down at the paper with the two blushes on his head, his brows were tightly frowned, probably when he encountered a question he didn't understand.

The wind from the central air conditioner is relatively small, but even so, the wet hair on Lin Xi's head is occasionally blown.

And the position he was sitting slightly behind was Xu Hanlai on the sofa.

The latter had spent several nights holding the computer in the kitchen before, and Liu Hao found out that he didn't stay there after cleaning up the kitchen today, but sat back on the sofa with them.

So Liu Hao looked at him several times out of curiosity.

In just those two eyes, Lin Xi's wet hair fluttered again.

Liu Hao's attention was attracted, and just as he felt that the child's sticky hair was floating up for fun, Xu Hanlai, who was behind Lin Xi, had already reached out to grab the towel that had slipped on the sofa and threw it on Lin Xi's head angrily.

The child is also really good.

Someone threw a towel over while he was reading and almost interrupted his thoughts. He was not ashamed or annoyed. He took the towel without looking back, and wiped it along while lowering his head to look at the topic seriously. Li didn't forget to respond with a hmm.

Liu Hao stared at it for a long time, and now he recalled from their smooth movements, it seems that this is not the first time such a thing happened.

He looked away without any surprise, ready to see what Guo Yu, who used to miss him, was doing, but he couldn't find it after searching around.

Guo Yu is not here.

Liu Hao was taken aback, and immediately came out of the bathroom, asking, "Where's Xiao Guozi?"

When the voice fell to the ground, he seemed to hear a faint voice coming from the study next door. He glanced back and said, "Did you call again?"

Lin Xi hadn't figured out the question yet, with a wrinkled face, it took him a long time to look up and respond to Liu Hao, "Well, it seems that Auntie called."

Guo Yu's mother started calling Guo Yu once or twice a few days ago, mostly to inquire about their safety, and occasionally to inquire about their situation. Once, she even came to Mancheng Park to give them mung bean soup.

However, the fights seem to be more frequent these days. Guo Yu seems to have received four rounds in just one day.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi suddenly paused, raised his head and glanced thoughtfully at the closed study door.

Contrary to Guo Yu's situation, after staying at Xu Hanlai's house for so many days, Liu Hao's cell phone seldom rang.

But when he heard Lin Xi's words, he didn't have any superfluous reactions. He just laughed and said naturally: "After all, I haven't called back for a few days. Auntie probably misses him a lot."

His words hit Lin Xi instead, causing his expression of bewilderment because of the problem to pause.

It took a long time to answer, and then subconsciously glanced at his mobile phone on the table.

Ever since he told Li Rende that he was going to stay with his senior who had always taken care of him inside and outside the campus, the frequency of Li Rende's sending him messages dropped sharply in an instant.

It's like after confirming his safety, knowing that he may not be able to accept that for a while, I want to create a little space for him.

Coupled with Lin Meiling's poor health, which is both physical and psychological, Li Rende himself may need time to communicate with Lin Meiling about this issue, so he will reduce the frequency of sending messages.

But even so, there is only one every day, and it is basically sent at eight o'clock, asking him how his day is going.

This timing is very delicate, earlier it is afraid of disturbing his playing with friends, and later it is afraid of disturbing him to sleep, Li Rende can always be extra careful in this kind of matter.

Lin Xi looked at his phone, and suddenly recalled that he was also famous for his thoughtfulness among those employees who favored coffee later.

But if you think about it carefully, Gao Yiliang has nothing to do with these two words, and Lin Meiling has long since lacked the heart to teach by example in this regard.

That's why Lin Xi realized at that time that Li Rende actually remembered some of Li Rende's actions and concerns for him since he was a child.

And all these also mean that deep down in his heart, he has already recognized Li Rende as his stepfather.

So in the new life, Lin Xi never wanted to make Li Rende worry too much about him, nor did he want to be Li Rende's burden.

Even in the face of such an emergency situation at present.

So every time he saw Li Rende sent him a message, he would definitely reply, and he didn't want him to worry about himself.

As for that matter, Lin Xi also thought about it during this time.

The conclusion is that he doesn't really care about anything.

Leaving aside the situation of Li Rende and Lin Meiling, they should and should be able to freely have a child of their own. In the last life, not long after Lin Meiling left, Li Rende followed suit.

– Lin Xi thinks about it and thinks, maybe Li Rende had a child that really belonged to him and made him worry about it, and he was ten years younger than Lin Xi and needed him to take care of, so he wouldn't leave so quickly?

Therefore, Lin Xi felt that he should not express too many opinions on this matter.

And after thinking about it these few days, Lin Xi actually found that he really supported Li Rende to have a child of his own.

That was the only person he owed in his last life.

Li Rende has always treated him like a parent and child. He didn't cherish it well at the beginning, so how could it be possible to selfishly not want him to have a biological child for Cheng Huan?

As for the instinctive sense of rejection in his heart before, Lin Xi himself couldn't explain why. From a rational point of view, he didn't think that such a sense of rejection should exist.

His home has long since fallen apart, and he has long since lost his sense of belonging to that house.For the word "family", Lin Xi had nothing more to lose, that is to say, the birth of that child would never take anything away from him.

On the contrary, it may give the family hope of rebuilding.

This is obviously developing in a good direction, so Lin Xi himself doesn't understand what he cares about.

But he knew that after ten days, he had gradually been able to suppress that bad mood,

If Li Rende asked him to go home and talk about it right now, he probably wouldn't refuse.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi took the phone and unlocked it, wanting to see the message Li Rende sent him today.

Usually there would be one around eight o'clock, but for some reason today, Lin Xi glanced at the time and saw that it was almost ten o'clock, and the news from Li Rende hadn't arrived yet.

Lin Xi frowned.

Guo Yu was still on the phone in the study, and Liu Hao took advantage of the rare leisure time when the "guardian" was not around, hugging a pillow on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone vigorously.

When Lin Xi was hesitating whether to take the initiative to send a message to Li Rende, he suddenly heard Liu Hao "Hey".

When Lin Xi raised his head, Liu Hao also turned the phone screen in their direction.

At the same time excitedly said: "Xiao Linzi, brother Han, look at this."

Lin Xi followed his instructions and looked over, and found that it was a photo, and the content was a bit familiar.

He paused for a few seconds before realizing that it was the first day when they set up a stall, those girls asked passers-by to take pictures of them with their cameras.

I don’t know if the passerby’s shooting skills are enough, or the light from the sky is just so soft when the shutter is pressed. .

But it was the same as Lin Xi thought.

You only need to look at it to recall the infinite beauty of time.

"They had a problem with their camera a few days ago and they haven't uploaded the photos. They seem to say that they are stuck in some format, so they just sent them to me today. Don't say it, it's pretty good." Liu Hao leaned on the sofa and gave the other two After showing the photos, I brought them back by myself, my face full of joy.

But after turning the screen, he thought of something and said: "But brother Han, you really don't plan to give people the contact information? Both elementary school girls have asked me several times, and I haven't rejected girls so many times. It’s kind of embarrassing.”

Xu Han glanced at him, and said with a smirk: "Didn't you have a good chat these few days?"

Liu Hao immediately waved his hand shyly: "Oh, don't you want to expose him, isn't he just worried that you will soon pass the eighteenth red luan star and haven't moved yet, so he is worried for you? Those from this school can't do it. They're all elementary school girls, so it's okay to chat with them."

Lin Xi was amused by Liu Hao's voice.

He didn't care much about the fact that the senior didn't give me the □□. Yao Zijing had asked in private at the birthday party before, but was also rejected, so Lin Xi guessed that the senior should be the one who doesn't like to use social software frequently. kind.

This kind of person existed in his era when the Internet was extremely developed, let alone now.

So after laughing for a long time, I just turned my pen around and said, "Primary school girl?"

Liu Hao looked proud: "Yeah, I chatted, they are foreign language, and you are in the same class as Xiao Linzi, aren't they elementary school girls?"

Lin Xi gave a long sigh: "You even asked about the school."

"Of course, who are you Brother Hao?" Liu Hao said, and then continued while watching: "Hey, brother, how do I think this girl in a skirt looks better, Brother Han, Han Brother, what are you talking about?"

For some reason, he skipped Lin Xi directly on this topic, and Lin Xi was also happy to act as a transparent person on this issue.

However, he was very interested in Liu Hao's question and the object of his question, so on the surface he continued to write questions with a blank face, but secretly he pricked up his ears and even put the hair on his head. The towels were moved aside.

Xu Han had been typing on the computer in the kitchen two days before he came. Although he came back to them today, he did not join the study group and still had a book in his hand.

It was the same "Suta's Fantastic Drifting" as the previous few days.

I don't know what the mystery of this book is, so that he can read it a second time in a short time.

Hearing Liu Hao's words, Xu Hanlai didn't want to talk to him at first.

The two have known each other for a long time, and they are the best friends, so Liu Hao knows that he has never been interested in such topics.Even so, he still picked up this topic, which shows that Liu Hao should really want to express his views at this moment.

Simply put, he wanted to talk to himself.

So often at such times, Xu Hanlai usually consciously acts as a coordinating role.

The script had already been laid out, and the usual perfunctory responses had already been brought to his lips, but before Xu Han could say anything, he saw Lin Xi sitting in front of him.

…and a reddish ear poking out of his white towel.

Xu Hanlai looked at the ear twice more, his eyes narrowed slightly, and for some reason, he felt that the big words "I may be doing something bad" were written on the round and even somewhat stocky ears.

He was a little amused, and probably guessed what the kid was doing, so he purposely kept his appetite quiet.

Staring at the person's ears became more and more red, uneasy, and almost retracted under the towel, he replied to Liu Hao: "Didn't you already know what I like? You can ask Lin Xi."

As soon as these words fell to the ground, it was like dropping two bombs neatly into Lin Xi's heart.

Do you already know what you like?Ask Lin Xi?

"Ah?" Lin Xi was stunned, and his face when he raised his head was full of resistance to the second question.

But Liu Hao's eyes were all on the screen, and he didn't notice it at all. He had no conditions to show him "brother's thoughtfulness", so he just opened his mouth and muttered to himself.

"Then I think Xiao Linzi is still young, and doesn't he have his class Yao Zijing?" Liu Hao said while looking at Lin Xi, after thinking about it, he still stretched out the phone towards him and said: " But you can watch it if you have one, come on, Xiao Linzi, does the one in the skirt look better?"

Lin Xi: "..."

He was originally a transparent person, but now he was suddenly picked out by the senior, and he was not prepared at all.

But he didn't dare to look at the culprit at the moment, so he quickly hid his criminal ears, and then his gaze fell to the screen.

After a while, he said, "I think they all look pretty."

One is more cheerful, one is quieter, and the others are about the same height.

After Liu Hao heard it, he stared at him differently: "Is there any? Why do I think it looks better in skirts? Xiao Linzi, did you not look carefully?"

Lin Xi is actually not easy to be nervous when it comes to girls. He was just startled by his senior, but now he has calmed down and is thinking about analyzing for Liu Hao: "Maybe Brother Hao, you prefer to be quiet. Yes."

"That's right," Liu Hao said after thinking for a while, "I really like to be quiet. You don't know Xiao Linzi. There is a girl in our class who has a good relationship with me. She is very cheerful. Every time we speak It’s like talking about cross talk, when I think about finding a partner, I can’t find it this way.”

Lin Xi didn't expect him to think of this question at his age. He was stunned for a while, and then amused by his melancholy tone and the scene in his words, he joked: "What are you looking for? They don't necessarily like you. .”

"I'm going, Xiao Linzi, you don't understand this, your brother Hao..." Liu Hao became very excited when he mentioned this matter, but when he was excited, he accidentally turned his head and saw Xu Hanlai behind Lin Xi, as if he had been stabbed by something Like a deathbed, his face immediately collapsed.

"With you, Senior Xu, for a day, your brother Hao's peach blossoms will never be in full bloom." Liu Hao said while kicking the pillow beside his feet and laying down on the lower side, with a look of regret.

Lin Xi was so happy that he collapsed on the sofa.

At times like this, Liu Hao is always very addicted to drama. Seeing Lin Xi smiling so happily, the next second he answered: "Even Xiao Linzi! You like him more! I understand! "

Liu Hao was not wrong in saying this, in any sense, but Lin Xi felt as if he had been stepped on the tail, and subconsciously stretched out his hand and pushed him and said, "Brother, you are making trouble, don't make trouble." talk."

Lin Xi's slap didn't use much force at all, but Liu Hao rolled to the side all over, and said in grief: "Look, look, you're still pushing me for him—"

Lin Xi didn't want him to continue talking nonsense, but he really couldn't bear his funny appearance, so he quarreled with Liu Hao a few times, and then leaned on the sofa laughing until his stomach hurt.

The head was crooked, and once almost knocked against the armrest of the sofa, but Xu Hanlai stretched out his hand to protect him from laughing and hurting.

Lin Xi sensed it, and when he looked back, he saw the senior sitting under the overhead light in the living room looking at him.

The other party didn't seem to have expected that his smile would be so low, and he couldn't stop laughing after Liu Hao made a fuss, but he seemed very happy that he was willing to laugh like this, and calculated from his expression...it was more indulgent.

Lin Xi has traveled a long way through time, but this kind of emotion is at least received from others. When Lin Meiling was a child, Lin Meiling would not give it to him. When he grew up, he was basically surrounded by employees who needed his care, and later juniors from the No. [-] Middle School. School girls.

So the moment Lin Xi only saw the emotion in the senior's eyes, Lin Xi's heart beat wildly.

Through the quarrel with Liu Hao, a certain question almost blurted out.

It was another bomb thrown by Xu Hanlai just now.

"Don't you already know what I like?"

He had already dealt with the first one well, but Lin Xi wanted to throw the second one back to the senior.

"So senior, what kind of look do you like?"

The lighting in the joke room was the most dazzling. When Lin Xi smiled and narrowed his eyes to see Xu Han coming, he was almost about to ask this question.

If Guo Yu hadn't pushed the door out of the study at this time.
