senior [rebirth]

Lin Xi took home the dinner given by Grandma Dong.

The old man carefully packed it in an insulated box, and it was still warm when he opened the lid when he got home.Part of it is the dinner that the elders made at home and brought to the dessert shop, and the other part is the after-dinner pastry made by Grandma Dong in the back room.

After opening the lid, the smell of food with the craftsmanship of the older generation wafted all over the room in an instant.

Among them, the taste of old chicken soup is the most prominent.

Grandma Dong has peeled the skin, so there is not much oil splash on the soup.The meat is stewed soft, smells delicious, and looks not greasy.

Grandma happened to stew a lot today, so I brought home a big bowl.

When Xu Hanlai took off his school uniform and sat down, Lin Xi was lying on the table opposite him, with his chin resting on the back of his hand, staring at the senior with a pair of crystal clear round eyes, pitifully.

Xu Hanlai had just picked up his chopsticks. Seeing Lin Xi's appearance, he thought for a while and passed the insulated box over: "So greedy? Eat more?"

Lin Xi looked down at the incubator for a moment, then poked it back with his finger: "I ate at Grandma Dong's."

"Then what is your greedy expression?" Xu Hanlai took over the insulated box: "Greedy about me?"

Lin Xi: "?"

He straightened up from the table suddenly: "No! How is it possible!"

Why is this person's speech becoming more and more unreliable?

Lin Xi didn't understand.

The dining table lamp shone on Xu Hanlai's black hair, he blinked and said calmly: "Oh, is that so?"

Lin Xi turned his head uncomfortably.

Grandma Dong's craftsmanship is very good, and the main meals and pastries taste good.Xu Hanlai planned to go home and have some supper with Lin Xi. He was thinking about something to eat, but suddenly he learned that Grandma Dong had prepared dinner for him.

The plan had no choice but to be terminated, but after eating it, I thought it was pretty good.

It's just that the kid who delivered the food looked absent-minded, which spoiled the atmosphere a bit.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Xu Hanlai asked after he had almost eaten, taking out a tissue.

"No." Lin Xi answered casually with her cheeks lying on her arms.

"That's just right." Xu Hanlai put away the bowls and chopsticks, and folded his hands on the table: "I can ask for a reward."

Lin Xi was still in a daze at first, but after hearing the words, he paused, then turned his cheeks back: "...What reward?"

"Exam." Xu Hanlai looked at the child's red and flowery half of his face because he had been lying on his side for a while, and smiled softly, stretched out his hand to support his chin, and said leisurely: "My score is similar to that on the note, Xiaolin The teacher also signed for it, so what about my reward?"

Lin Xi stared blankly at the senior's smile.

And this thing?

When did you make an appointment?

Lin Xi thought for a long time but couldn't think of it, but he couldn't stop the senior's smile, so he could only scratch his ears: "What do you want?"

"What do you want?"

"...you can only give what you have."

Xu Hanlai bent the corners of his lips and looked into the child's eyes: "What can I give you?"

Lin Xi opened his clear eyes, looking very sincere: "Yes."

"Okay." Xu Hanlai smiled and lowered his eyes, put away the insulated box, turned and walked towards the sink.

Lin Xi blinked, and for some reason, based on the reaction of the senior and his understanding of him during this time, he always vaguely felt that he had just agreed to something very important.

So I couldn't help but chased into the kitchen after a while and added: "It can't be too much."

Xu Hanlai was putting in the washing insulated box. He turned the water to a small one so that it could be washed without splashing out, and he said, "Yes, I know."

His voice was very gentle, Lin Xi heard it and looked up at his expression.Noticing his drooping brows and eyes under the light, and his hands being washed patiently under the flowing water, I couldn't help but move.

He had never seen the senior so closely in his previous life.

Lin Xi stood and paused for two seconds, and couldn't help turning around, with his back facing the direction of the pool.

The living room lights are not turned on, and the interior is only maintained by the warm light on the kitchen ceiling. It echoes the noisy old city lights outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the scene is rare and harmonious.

Lin Xi watched and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

After a while, the soft sound of water beside him stopped, Xu Han came to wipe his hands, turned around with him, and looked out the window: "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking..." Lin Xi noticed that it seemed to be raining outside the window. He looked at the thin and dense raindrops appearing on the floor-to-ceiling windows, then looked down at his toes, and said, "I'm thinking about a dream I had before."

"What dream?" Xu Hanlai asked.

"Well, it might not necessarily be a dream." Lin Xi blinked and looked up at Xu Hanlai: "Senior, do you believe that people will have a chance to do it all over again in this world?"

As the night falls, the pointer rotates, and the noisy city outside the window gradually quiets down.

The stalls and hawkers closed one after another, leaving only the light of street lamps on the street.Gradually, when there were fewer cars on the road, the world became completely quiet.

Xu Hanlai sat by the window, looked at the sleeping child curled up in a small bed beside him, and tapped his fingers unconsciously on his knees.

Lin Xi slept soundly, breathing calmly like the previous few times, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Xu Hanlai still remembered what the child asked him after raising his face.

"Senior, do you believe that people will have a chance to do it all over again?"

Normal people might not believe it, but Xu Hanlai did.

Because there are too many strange memory fragments in his mind that do not belong to his experience, and those fragments are intricately intertwined, and Xu Hanlai even once suspected that this world is not real.

But he didn't tell Lin Xi, just stood beside him and listened to him quietly.

...But in fact, this little guy didn't say much from the beginning to the end. After speaking a few words, he yawned and wanted to go to bed, and then went to bed and fell unconscious.

He said very little, but from the words, Xu Hanlai was able to piece together some.

Because the amount of information is huge from the very beginning.

"It doesn't have to be a dream."

"Again."

These two key sentences can basically fill in the biggest gap in the messy memory fragments in Xu Hanlai's mind.

The moonlight outside the window fell on Lin Xi's cheek through the screen window.This kid doesn't like to close the curtains when he sleeps recently, saying that he can sleep more soundly looking at the street outside.

And he was actually sleeping well right now.

Xu Hanlai sat on the bed and squinted his eyes slightly. After a while, he bent down and reached out to pull the quilt on La Linxi's back, and covered him again.

He thought that the biscuit-giving kid who repeatedly appeared in his mind was probably really Lin Xi.As for why it appeared so many times, and sometimes they looked gloomy with scars on their faces, and sometimes looked sunny without scars, Xu Hanlai thought it might be because of this period of life, they had gone through it many, many times.

In other words, it was Lin Xi who chased him many, many times.

Because Xu Hanlai's strange memory fragments are not limited to this period of life.

He's been through more.

Some don't belong to this country, some don't belong to this era, some don't even belong to this planet.

He has witnessed many stories, and he is also the driving force behind all the precise data in each story.

In this regard, he has a unique ability and talent.He can always subtly push each character in the story without a trace, let the story go on through them, and then fade from the memory of those characters and exit the story.

And again, and again, he kept going.

It was fun at first, but then it became mechanically boring.

until the story begins.

The tired time traveler wandered to the new world and picked up a little sun.

The little sun cared about his well-being, broke through the shackles and chased him again and again, making him feel his own existence, and could no longer be a pusher beyond the story step by step.

Little Sun makes him the story itself.

At the same time, because of his unmaneuverability, it becomes extremely troublesome for him to promote this story.

Xu Hanlai dealt with the child's involvement in a dumbfounding way, and at the same time couldn't help asking about the child's past during one or two irreparable trips, and then weaved his experience into his own transformation task.

"What kind of life do you want?" Once, he finally found a way to complete the story without moving the child, so he asked.

The child thought for a while, bit the delicious food and said: "You are here, and then it will be smooth, everyone will be happy."

Being destined to be a passer-by became a necessity, Xu Hanlai paused for a moment, then agreed with a smile, and said, "Okay."

He used all his experiences in exchange, stopped here, did not enter the next story, and spent a lot of money to let the children enter this track together.

The result is not happy.

Their memories have always been, or never will be, connected.

But very happy.

Because this is indeed a smooth and happy real world.

The sun is warm, the flowers and plants are fragrant, and the city is noisy.No longer just stories, but a real world that everyone can enjoy.

Every day here is real and new.

The sound of motorbikes whizzing by in the middle of the night could be heard outside the window, Xu Hanlai leaned on the pillow beside the bed, looked at Lin Xi who was on the small bed, and unconsciously curled the corners of his lips.

Because he didn't understand those inexplicable attractions before, he felt that Lin Xi was a weird kid, and he wanted to get to know him more vigilantly.

But after in-depth understanding, it is found that no matter whether the memory is pieced together or not, this child is sweet.

Sweet from the inside out.

Those round eyes will always put him at the forefront, and when he laughs unguardedly, he can no longer match the warm world behind him.

Xu Hanlai still hadn't been able to completely put together the memory that overlapped with Lin Xi, but he felt that it didn't matter if he couldn't put it together temporarily.

What he knew was enough.

So at night, the child hesitated and said: "Twice the same experience, is it the old thing repeated, or the new life?"

Without thinking about it, he answered: "Experiences cannot be repeated. If you repeat them twice, then the second time must be brand new."

"It's a new student."

In the second week of the first monthly exam in the third year of high school, the temperature turned cold, but the sun was shining brightly overhead.

Lin Xi put on her newly bought autumn school uniform, one size bigger, walked through the long corridor, and took the receipt signed by Li Rende to the head teacher's office.

Lin Xi was still a little hesitant before going in, but under the urging of a text message, he still stepped in the door.

"... Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Jiang." In the office, Lin Xi said shyly.

"I really made a promise, let our class lose a good general?" Jiang Yu looked at the signed receipt with a complicated expression.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I didn't think carefully when I made the selection before, and I caused you trouble." Lin Xi whispered.

Jiang Yu sat on the chair and watched Lin Xi laugh, with creases on his face: "It's okay, are you sure you like it this time?"

"Yeah." Lin Xi nodded.

"That's good. Life is too short, as long as you can do what you are happy with." Jiang Yu said bluntly, while signing the receipt and putting it on his desk: "Leave it to me. You can wait for the notification when you return to class." good."

"Okay, thank you teacher." Lin Xi nodded, turned and left the head teacher's office.

Outside the door, Wang Miao looked at him with snot and tears in the corridor.

The senior's news came through the mobile phone at this time.

"handed in?"

The sunlight came in from the window, Lin Xi took a deep breath and said, "It's over."

The time is quiet right now, but Lin Xi still can't forget the psychological shadow. When he handed in the application form for transfer, he was full of guilt and fear in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xi returned a message with his mobile phone: "Senior, even if I choose the text, I will often look for you in the future. You should drive less and watch the road while walking, you know."

"You have to be careful not to open a shop with your brother, and be careful that no one will be dumped if you go bankrupt, right? Got it." The senior over there returned quickly.

Then a photo was sent over. In the photo was a big, white cake.

"I asked Grandma Dong to make it. It should taste good. Why don't you invite your friends after class? Congratulations on reposting."

Lin Xi blinked, took two steps forward, and showed Wang Miao the photo: "Don't cry, I will definitely come to see you often in the future, do you want to eat cake together?"

Sniffing her nose, Wang Miao cried, "You, is it your birthday?"

Lin Xi paused: "No."

"But..." He squinted his eyes in the sunlight, "I'm indeed seventeen."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xi smiled and bowed his head to invite more people, and said to the senior.

"Okay, thank you, senior."

"You're welcome, little idiot."
