senior [rebirth]

Class [-] and Class [-] of senior high school added an English dictation item to their self-study tonight, which was requested by the class teacher Gao Zijian, because the total score of their class showed that the biggest gap in the main subject was English.

For this reason, Gao Zijian also proposed that students should copy all the wrong words 20 times before leaving.

As soon as the request came out, there were instant complaints in the classroom.

"Teacher Gao dragged the class again!" A mischievous student grinned.

Gao Zijian is a nagging teacher with a good temper. He is quite protective, so the students have a good relationship with him.It was getting dark outside the window, and there were not many children of this age who were not hungry and did not want to go home.

But after complaining half-truth, Gao Zijian snapped, and they immediately fell silent again, obediently dictating under the class teacher's crappy English accent.

Xu Hanlai sat by the window. When there was nothing else to do in the front row, he would look out the window from time to time when he was free.This is what he has been used to for a long time. No matter whether he is in the first, second or third year of high school, when Xu Han came to class, he always seemed to be thinking about other things.

At first, Gao Zijian thought that he was troubled by the situation of his own family. At one time, he was overwhelmed with love and care for the student, but after taking care of the student for a long time, he realized that he was completely wrong.

But as for what Xu Hanlai was thinking, Gao Zijian didn't ask in countless conversations in the past three years.

This is also the reason why Xu Hanlai seems to have a good temper, but he is far less approachable than Liu Hao.

At this moment Gao Zijian noticed that he was looking out of the window again, and couldn't help showing a stern look on his face, but he didn't make a sound, and continued to bow his head to report his words, as if he planned to settle accounts together later.

Another English word rang out in the classroom, and finally someone in the front row couldn't help but joked about the teacher's accent, and was scolded by Gao Zijian.

But Xu Hanlai, who was looking out the window, turned his eyes away at this moment, and gently dropped the tip of his pen on the paper.

The deskmate sitting next to him noticed Gao Zijian's gaze just now, turned his head to look at him with some worry, then thought for a while, put his hand under the table, and frankly revealed the contents of his dictation book.

Xu Han didn't know if she saw this movement, but Gao Zijian must have seen it, and said sternly, "Qin Lu, put your hands up!"

Immediately, the girl put her hand on the table with her face flushed.

Xu Hanlai also heard the scolding, and turned his head to look at it. The girl's cheeks immediately became more red.

Ten minutes later, the dictation was over. There were a total of 10 people in the third class, and only 52 people left in the first batch.

Gao Zijian wanted Xu Hanlai to learn a lesson, and deliberately transferred his dictation to be the first one to correct, but he didn't want Xu Hanlai to be the first one in the class to leave the classroom after correcting.

Gao Zijian called Xu Hanlai's name with an expression of disbelief, then walked to his place and glanced suspiciously out of the window.

...and no answer.

"You really went to study during the summer vacation, kid?" Gao Zijian said with a bit of disbelief but couldn't help but be happy.

Xu Hanlai felt that the homeroom teacher was really interesting, packed his schoolbag and smiled at the teacher gently, and said, "Yes, Teacher Gao, then I'm out of class?"

Gao Zijian snorted, "Let's go."

There was a commotion among the girls in the classroom, Xu Hanlai didn't look at it, turned around and walked towards the back door of the classroom.But when he got to the door, a boy in the back row reached out to give him a hand, mouthed and asked, "Brother Han, do you want to play later?"

Xu Hanlai: "No, there is something to do."

"What's the matter? I haven't seen you come to the stadium for two months." The boy said strangely: "And you didn't leave with us after class."

As the boy said, he suppressed his voice and gossiped: "Hey, you have a girlfriend, don't you?"

He kept his voice low, but he couldn't bear the fact that someone was paying attention to this side all the time, so when he finished speaking, many eyes immediately fell on Xu Hanlai.

Xu Hanlai didn't shy away from it, and smiled at the man, the corners of his lower lips raised just right, his black eyes were dazzling under the classroom lights, and he said, "Guess."

"Oh--" There was booing from the third class, Xu Hanlai ignored them, and left the classroom with his schoolbag on his back.

Lin Xi didn't reply to the news in the afternoon. He was a little worried in his heart, so he walked faster than usual after going downstairs, and his slender figure walked across the campus of No. [-] Middle School.

Nearly September, the weather in the city is not so hot at night, and it is even a little cool when there is a wind.

Xu Hanlai originally wanted to walk out of the campus quickly and go home, but he didn't want to be chased by footsteps when he was approaching the door.

The man didn't call him, Xu Hanlai thought it was just a passerby, until he realized that the footsteps were approaching him, he stopped and turned his head.

Then, under the twilight, I saw a face that was a little familiar and a little strange at the same time.

The other party silently waved at him at the school gate with a warm and flattering expression.

The correct dictation made Xu Hanlai leave the classroom early before the evening self-study was over.

And the person he met suddenly made him delayed on the road for a while before returning home.

This time the power outage was repaired by the whole community, even the sensor lights in the corridor outside the house were shut down, and only the elevator was still supported by the backup battery pack.

Xu Hanlai temporarily bought a flashlight outside, opened the door to look at the light source, and saw a black shadow flying from the kitchen into the sofa.

Immediately afterwards, two pillows flew up out of thin air from his sofa.

The pillow flew in the air and hit the coffee table again, Xu Hanlai at the door didn't respond, but the black shadow on the sofa that made the trouble moved anxiously several times.

Xu Hanlai raised his eyebrows.

After a while, he closed the door, walked into the room, put the schoolbag and the things in his hand on the kitchen table, and then slowly took out the mobile phone that had just vibrated slightly when it was at the door from his pocket.

Look up after reading the content.

"Grandma Dong asked me to stay there until 10 o'clock?"

There was no echo in the living room.

Xu Hanlai smiled, turned off the phone, opened the few plastic bags he had just brought in, and took all those things into the living room.

During this process, Lin Xi worked very hard on the sofa.

His hair wasn't completely dry, and there was foam and water, and when he left the bathroom he put on a crappy head wrap with a hood to keep the foam from getting on the floor.

Lin Xi usually doesn't use this, and after trying several times, he barely succeeded, and then wrapped himself in a bath towel.

It may seem perfect, but only when doing nothing.In such a hurry as he is now, he hides in the thin blanket next to the sofa, wants to cover his body with the thin blanket, and is afraid that the foam or water in his hair will inadvertently overflow the towel and rub against the sofa or thin blanket. Very troublesome.

It took Lin Xi a while to find a twisted posture in the thin blanket that could barely accommodate both, so that he didn't have time to answer the senior's question at all.

But when he was ready to answer, the senior didn't speak.

Lin Xi blinked and listened carefully to the sound coming from outside the thin blanket.

The senior seemed to put the plastic bag on the coffee table, then took out something from it, and placed it one after another, his voice sounded slow and patient.Just when Lin Xi was curious about what he was doing, he suddenly felt a faint light coming from outside the thin blanket.

At first it was one bundle, then two bundles, and finally formed a hazy piece directly outside the thin blanket.

Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment, and then when he noticed the senior's footsteps walking away, he poked his eyes out of the thin blanket curiously, and saw the senior lit a row of...candles on the coffee table next to him.

It looks like a scented candle, short and fat, forming a large circle around Lin Xi's book.

Lin Xi looked back and found that the kitchen and other places were scattered by the seniors, making the outline of the living room much clearer in the dark night.

In addition, there are some electric coils and a few light bulbs on the table.

When Lin Xi was looking at the circle of things that looked like wires under the candlelight with some curiosity, he suddenly heard the sound of the footsteps of the senior who entered the study turning back.

He quickly covered his head with a thin blanket again, but even so, he was still a step too late.

Because he heard the voice of the senior with a smile: "Didn't pay attention to my message, did you take a shower at seven?"

Was discovered.

Lin Xi wrinkled his face in embarrassment in the thin blanket, then slowly poked his head out from inside and said, "...um."

Xu Han took a look at his current appearance, especially glanced at the few hairs that fell from the corner of his forehead after the bun gradually loosened, and sat down by the coffee table with a smile.

He had just returned to the study to get his glasses, and the metal frame was now on his tall nose, reflecting the light from the candle.The man's eyes were a little more slack than usual with the glasses on, especially now when he looked down at the loop of wires in front of him.

The ends of the hair fell down along the beautiful arc of the forehead.

Lin Xi blinked at the side, seeing that the senior didn't look at him anymore, so he boldly got out of the thin blanket, leaned over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Make lamps, in fact, do not ask to know.

But Lin Xi was just a little curious: "Do you need to do it? There is still a call in more than two hours."

"I only bought this kind of short candle, and it won't last long, and if the power is off, it's idle, so let's make it." Xu Hanlai said while twisting the electric coil with pliers.

He uses precise strength, and he only needs to go down a little for each turn, which leads to his overall movement range is not large, and the coil is turned in a few strokes.

Lin Xi lay on the sofa and looked down at the things the senior brought back. They would occasionally go to the supermarket during the summer vacation, but Xu Hanlai and Lin Xi had different habits. Daily necessities are stockpiled. In short, most of them are selected by Lin Xi every time I go to the supermarket, and the seniors only need a small part.

But today is different. Looking at the plastic bags today, the senior seems to have bought a lot of things this time.

Lin Xi glanced curiously, and then looked up to see the senior making light bulbs.

The latter's eyes are downcast and he is doing coils seriously. Lin Xi is a little itchy and can't help but want to get closer to him.However, as soon as he passed, the bag on his head started to move, and Lin Xi had to stop to adjust, but the towel on his body would start to be disobedient again.

It can be said to be very embarrassing.

Fortunately, the senior didn't lose face at this time, he was making light bulbs the whole time, and he didn't turn his eyes to Lin Xi's side too much. He only put down the metal tongs after a while and said, "Reading at home in the afternoon?"

He saw the science books on the table, and also saw "Three Kingdoms" on the other side.

"Hmm." It really was all luck that it was done well before, but this time Lin Xi's hair bag can't be put back anyway.

It was already hot without an air conditioner, so he was in a hurry for a long time. He didn't wrap his head properly, and instead made himself sweaty.

It was just that the towel had almost absorbed the water from the hair before, so Lin Xi thought about it, and simply took the towel aside, and ran out of the thin blanket by himself wearing a bath towel.

When the senior came in, he should have opened the balcony door. It happened that a gust of wind came in at this moment, and Lin Xisu breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xu Hanlai heard the voice, he turned his eyes towards him, just in time to see Lin Xi's collarbone that was becoming more and more obvious due to the heaving of his chest.The little guy has not much flesh on his body, the clavicle line is obvious, and there is a small light-colored mole in the inner socket. Xu Han looked at it twice, then slowly retracted his gaze, and said, "Does it look good?"

Lin Xi's eyes immediately fell on "Three Kingdoms" subconsciously, and then said a little embarrassedly: "It's pretty good."

He has been watching it all afternoon.

"Yeah." Xu Hanlai responded, and then connected the wire to the battery, remembering something and said: "By the way, I ran into your uncle on the way back just now."

Lin Xi paused and said in surprise, "Huh?"

Senior met Li Rende?

The last time he and Liu Hao ran into Lin Xi downstairs, and after taking Lin Meiling to the hospital together, Li Rende always told Lin Xi that it was time to treat him to dinner and thank him, the two seniors.But Lin Xi was worried that Li Rende's family affairs would be too busy, and he personally was not willing to let Lin Meiling and his friends have dinner, so he never agreed.

But he didn't expect the senior to meet Li Rende on the road.

It's okay to meet him, but why is Li Rende still outside so late?

"He said that he worked in the cafeteria last semester, and several workers wanted to invite him to go again this semester. He has been inconvenient recently, but he was really too enthusiastic, so he wanted to go to explain it to others in person, and then he happened to meet me It's gone." Xu Han said.

Lin Xi groaned and understood.

As for why this time was chosen, it was probably because Lin Meiling had already had dinner and settled down, so she sneaked out from her busy schedule.

"My uncle is like this. He is very nice." Lin Xi smiled when he thought of Li Rende rushing to talk to him face to face.

"Yes, I can tell." Xu Han came to answer him.

After meeting, Li Rende probably was afraid that he would delay his time, so he didn't stop at the school gate to talk with him, and insisted that he walk in the direction of going home, and wrote quickly in his notebook while walking.

However, the distance between Xu Hanlai's house and No. [-] Middle School is too close, and it is very inconvenient to write and travel at that distance.

In the end, it was Xu Han who brought up the power outage, deliberately bought a lot of things in the supermarket, and procrastinated for a while, allowing Li Rende to finish writing what he wanted to say and ask after thanking him.

"He mentioned to me that two days are your birthday, and your classmates seem to have mentioned it during the day, did you?" Xu Hanlai asked him while turning his head.

Lin Xi's face that started to smile when he thought of Li Rende froze instantly after hearing the word "birthday", and then quickly replied to the senior: "But."

The child spoke firmly, Xu Han glanced at him, nodded and did not continue to ask.He has always been like this. When he doesn't ask, not only his words, but also his body and expression will not show any doubts.

With good control, arrange several light bulbs on the coffee table at the same time, connect them with wires, and press the switch.

The haloed bulb brightened up the whole living room in an instant, and also illuminated Lin Xi's originally depressed mood.

"Is it more comfortable than the light from the flashlight?" Xu Hanlai asked Lin Xi with a smile.

"En." Lin Xi's mood improved a little, and now he gave the senior a full smile.

The child's wet hair fell to his forehead along with his movements, and the bath towel on his body was unconsciously wrapped a little tighter because of the topic just now.

Seeing this, Xu Hanlai did not leave after finishing the lamp, but instead sat gently beside Lin Xi, and picked up the "Three Kingdoms" on the table: "This afternoon?"

Lin Xi was still a little guilty when he mentioned this, and lowered his head to collect his own towel next to the senior: "Well, I watched it for a while."

However, after the new book is turned, there will be traces left on the pages. Xu Hanlai turned all the way back and forth, and stopped when there were no traces of turning the pages. He raised his eyebrows, squeezed the thickness, and looked in Lin Xi's direction.

"...Well, I watched it all afternoon." Lin Xi, who was exposed on the spot, was forced to admit, and then lay down on the back of the sofa with a face full of embarrassment and said, "Let's not talk about this, senior, my uncle even said goodbye. Is it?"

Xu Hanlai flipped through the pages from the first page again, and replied: "He was afraid that you would cause trouble for me, so he said a lot of warnings."

"Oh." Lin Xi replied, "I'm afraid of that too."

Xu Hanlai paused halfway through the pages of the book, looked back at the child, and stretched out his hand to scratch his chin: "I see that you have grown taller recently, when are you going to grow gallbladder?"

Lin Xi felt a little shy when he heard his slow and doting tone, and was too embarrassed to respond, so he hid in the pillow: "Is there anything else?"

"Well, I also said that you plan to live on campus after school starts. If you need to move things, remember to ask him to help." Xu Han said that he put down the book completely, turned his head to look at the child and said: "This matter Why didn't you tell me? I thought you brought those quilts from home because you were simply addicted to politeness."

Lin Xi was stunned.

If the senior hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten it.

Not only did he forget, Jiang Yu, his homeroom teacher, also forgot that he never mentioned the application for residence at all when he returned to school.

"Because there are very few people who want to live on campus in the second year of senior high school. Those who are far away usually apply as soon as the first year of senior high school, and those who are under great pressure get the third year of senior high school. No. [-] middle school is originally located in the city center, with convenient transportation, and it is very convenient for most students to commute. Moreover, " As Xu Hanlai said, he looked at Lin Xi in disbelief: "Our school's dormitory environment is not very good, have you visited it? The old building on the northwest side, eight people live in one room."

"...I've seen it." Now that he decided to live, Lin Xi certainly knew the situation in advance.

And the fact is that he had thought about this when he was in the third year of high school in his last life. If he hadn't been timid at that time and didn't dare to mention it to Lin Meiling, Lin Xi might have lived in school in his last life.

"I think it's acceptable." Lin Xi nodded.

Xu Hanlai looked at his expression that seemed to have really considered it seriously, and just happened to have another wind coming in from the balcony. He conveniently put the towel thrown by Lin Xi back on his forehead to prevent him from catching a cold, and said, "I think Can't."

"Ah?" Lin Xi was stunned by the towel.

"It took me three months to grow some flesh on your face, and you will lose weight within three weeks after entering, don't even think about it." Xu Hanlai stopped looking at Lin Xi, and sat back on the sofa to continue reading.

Lin Xi under the towel was stunned for a long time, only to realize that the senior's tone seemed to be controlling him.

...It's not that he can't control it. What's strange is that after Lin Xi heard the senior say that about him, there was a strange sense of security and intimacy around him.

It's like being enclosed in some exclusive territory, surrounded by the smell of people you like.

If Lin Xi had a tail, he would definitely curl it up secretly right now.

But he wasn't ashamed to give in as soon as the senior said it, so he pinched his ankles, and then changed the subject again with a look of embarrassment: "I, did my uncle say anything else?"

Xu Hanlai didn't read the contents of the book in detail, he just counted how much the child read in one afternoon, and found that there were quite a lot.

He bought this edition because he happened to see Lin Xi reading it.However, this version is not the version with a full set of translations that was common later on. The content is all in classical Chinese, with only occasional annotations.

Normal high school students would probably have a headache watching these, but Lin Xi read them with such relish that he didn't even read his text messages.

Xu Hanlai tapped lightly on the last page that was turned, and said, "Well, your uncle asked me if you really chose science."

Lin Xi was taken aback.

"He said that you seemed to like history since you were a child, just like your mother, so he was surprised when he heard that you chose science, and worried that you were fighting with your mother and didn't want to touch history." Xu Hanlai said, While putting down the book, he turned back.

In fact, Li Rende didn't take the initiative to talk to Xu Han about this matter. Only when Xu Han came to ask this question in the supermarket, Li Rende immediately explained the ins and outs to him as if he was clever.

It also included the fact that Lin Xi said when they met a while ago that they wanted to make money to support their family.

It's just that Xu Hanlai changed the way indistinctly when narrating.

Then he really saw Lin Xi's round eyes move.

"He also said that if you move out to have a new start, I hope you can also choose the department and major you really like. It doesn't matter what the prospects are. He thinks they owe you a lot, as long as you choose the happy one. good."

As Xu Hanlai spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched Lin Xi's cheek, and said softly: "There have been too many things recently, and he is afraid that he will make you uncomfortable if he can't say it well, so he wants me to help persuade you that you are more intimate." I."

"Your uncle is indeed a very nice man."

Lin Xi fell silent, and rubbed his eyes lightly after a while.
