madman

After all, there is a difference between someone around and no one around. Zhou Xun used to get up early, but now he stays in bed for eight out of ten days, especially on weekends. It's amazing.

There was a lot of tossing around last night, and Zhou Xun was too lazy to move, lying on the pillow, buzzing like a bee, "Am I old? We used to be so unrestrained, and I still six After lighting it up, I can go out and run a couple of laps, but now I’m just lazy and limp, I just don’t want to move.”

It was raining outside, Lin Zhile found Zhou Xun a set of clothes to wear today in the closet, and put it beside the bed, "Brother Xun is young."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xun thought of what Lin Zhile said in the old house that he was old and tired. Although he knew that what he said at that time was not true, he still panicked thinking about it. He lifted himself from the pillow. Get up, put your arms on the bed, turn around and cast a sideways glance at Lin Zhile, eyes full of resentment, "You used to despise me for being old."

Lin Zhile's heart rang loudly, and she hurriedly expressed her opinion, "Brother Xun, I cut myself to pieces. When we stand together, people say that I am older than you. It is me who should worry about this problem. It was the first time you went to school before. Find me, many girls have come to me and asked for your contact information."

"What else is there?" Zhou Xun was tired, and asked again lying on the edge of the bed.

"Yes, I just didn't tell you. Think about it for yourself. You should recruit more people. I have a sense of crisis. I'm afraid I will be snatched away one day."

"Then why haven't you been afraid in the past five years?"

"I'm afraid, so I'm actually watching closely behind my back. If something goes wrong, I'll strangle the other party's flame." Lin Zhile said.

"It's bad enough for you. I have no signs of it. No matter how high the flames are, it's useless." Zhou Xun got up, put on the clothes Lin Zhile found for him, and went to the bathroom to wash up. Rifle things out.

Lin Zhile heard the movement in the bathroom, and went in, and asked, "What are you looking for, Brother Xun? I'll find it for you. I just cleaned up the things in the bathroom a few days ago, and I put them away again."

Zhou Xun took some water from the toothbrush cup and rinsed his mouth, "I looked for a set of face washing and wiping products that Yunqing gave me last year. They haven't been opened yet. They are said to be quite expensive, and the effect is quite good."

"I put it in the closet, I'll look for it for you." Lin Zhile went into the small study and took out a small box, found a set of boxes that hadn't been opened, and asked, "Is it this? Men's special skin care products." ?”

"Yes, that's the one, the black one. Didn't you say yesterday that you would take me to worship God and make a wish today? I have to tidy myself up, take a bath and burn incense to show my sincerity." Zhou Xun said as he opened the box and put a few He took out the bottles and cans, turned them over and looked at them a few times.

Lin Zhile laughed after hearing this, "I didn't say I would take you to worship God."

"It's not worshiping gods. If you don't worship gods, it's just maintenance. I think I've been a little rough recently." Zhou Xun looked at the bottle in his hand again. The densely packed instructions on the box made his head big. This water, that milk, that cream. After looking back and forth for a few times, I asked Lin Zhile: "How do you use these? I use at most a facial cleanser. I use a big treasure when my face is dry in winter. This big jar and small bottle are actually still there." There are masks, so much attention."

Lin Zhile also looked at the instructions, and took out a bottle of facial cleanser first, "You wash your face with facial cleanser first, and I will wipe it on for you later."

Zhou Xun did it. After washing and wiping his face, Lin Zhile first took out a bottle of toner, poured a little into his palm, and held it with the back of his hand arched. "The instruction says to pat the face lightly until it is absorbed. "

"You come." Zhou Xun was afraid of getting into his eyes, so he closed his eyes, bowed his back, and stretched his neck forward.

Lin Zhile gently wiped the water in Zhou Xun's face with both hands, and patted it with his fingers, "Is this strength enough?"

Zhou Xun only felt the cold and slippery liquid on his face, and Lin Zhile patted it with his fingers, very lightly, "Okay, okay, I think it's too much effort, if I do this every morning, I'm afraid I'll have breakfast." No time to eat."

Lin Zhile saw that it was almost done, and stopped his hands. Zhou Xun closed his eyes and asked, "Are you all right? All right, let's do it. I won't do it next step. My back hurts because I'm so tired. It's too tiring."

"Okay," Lin Zhile grabbed Zhou Xun's waist, made him stand up straight, and wiped off the water droplets on the tip of his nose with his fingers, "Brother Xun is already [-], wipe it again tomorrow and you will be seventeen. "

Zhou Xun looked back at himself in the glasses, and leaned closer to the mirror again, "Don't tell me, this expensive thing is just different."

After he finished speaking, he pinched his face, "Hey, it's still watery..."

Lin Zhile knew that he was digging out what he said in the old house, so she put her arms around Zhou Xun's waist from behind, put her chin on his shoulder, bit his neck lightly with her teeth, and muttered : "Brother Xun, stop talking..."

Zhou Xun shrank his neck from being bitten by him, tilted his head and smiled at the back of his head on his shoulder in the mirror, "Okay, don't talk about it, continue to wipe it on me tomorrow, tomorrow I will be seventeen, and the day after tomorrow I will be sixteen. ..In two days, I will be fourteen, and you will be eleven, and that year you came to grandma's house...you were a little kid at that time, but now you are a little kid at 1.9 meters..."

The two of them wasted a lot of time after wiping their faces. It was already almost nine o'clock, and they were both a little hungry, so they didn't make it at home. Instead, they went out to eat at the breakfast shop that Zhou Xun used to like to go to.

The boss greeted Zhou Xun after seeing him, "Xiao Zhou, I haven't seen you for so long, you are not alone today!"

"Today, the two of you are still the same as before, but with double servings." Zhou Xun led Lin Zhile to a random table and sat down.

The boss joked: "Hi, you two, you haven't come to my place past eight o'clock before, so you don't have to fight so hard now."

The boss said that he served them steamed buns first, "Eat slowly, if you don't have enough, order more."

"Thank you, boss." Lin Zhile took a bite of a sauced meat bun, full of praise, "His sauced meat buns are delicious."

Everything else was also on the table, Zhou Xun ordered a few more sauced meat buns, "We came to eat twice when you were in college, and the boss didn't recognize you just now, it's been too many years, you should know that I'm here Let's eat this."

"I know, so I'm afraid the boss will recognize it, so I dare not come. I eat at the noodle restaurant opposite," Lin Zhile pointed to Zhou Xun, "The noodles at that noodle restaurant are terrible, but I can see you. You always like to sit there by the window."

"That seat is occupied today." Zhou Xun looked up. It was a young couple, chatting and laughing. He put another steamed stuffed bun for Lin Zhile, "Is it enough? Do you want to add two more?"

"Enough is enough, I can't finish the Hu spicy soup."

"If I can't finish it, I'll drink it."

The rain outside was much lighter. The two of them didn't go home after breakfast. They were about to go out. When they arrived at the parking lot, Lin Zhile was about to drive his own car and got into the driver's seat. Zhou Xun was still a little worried, and asked : "Is your hand okay? How about I drive."

"Okay, now it's the same as before, you give me a massage every day, it works."

"It's good to exercise more, the recovery will be better." Zhou Xun said and got on the co-pilot.

"Brother Xun, please help me see if there is a driver's license and driving license in the co-pilot storage box. It was placed in Lao Zhang's other car before, and I forgot to take it."

Zhou Xun pressed the switch button of the storage box. There was only one file bag inside. He opened the file bag and took out the contents. On the top were the driver's license and driving license. "Yes, here it is."

When Zhou Xun was about to put the documents into the file bag again, he found a few pieces of paper inside. Zhou Xun didn't understand, but Li Zheng's name was written on the top.

Zhou Xun quickly remembered who Li Zheng was. It turned out that Li Daqian was the one who touched his hand in the office. Zhou Xun took the document and asked Lin Zhile, "Why do you still have his things?"

Lin Zhile didn't blush, "He harassed you in the office last time, and I thought it was wrong when he approached you years ago, so I investigated it. , He didn’t dare to go too far, so he went to you immediately after the divorce, and I collected evidence for his wife’s infidelity and transfer of property. Later, his wife went to the court to sue him again, asking for a new division of property. "

"You're really good," Zhou Xun put away the file bag, "then the few people who suddenly appeared in the past five years and disappeared inexplicably in the middle, it must be your fault."

"They are not upright, let alone their shadows." Lin Zhile directly came to a conclusion.

Zhou Xun said with a smile: "It's okay, you are not a good person! You are the best."

It’s past the morning rush hour, and there’s still no traffic jam along the way. Zhou Xun didn’t ask where he was going. Anyway, he just needs to follow Lin Zhile. As long as he’s by his side, everything is right, no matter where he goes, no matter the weather outside Anyway, the road is full of scenery after all.

After driving for about half an hour, they arrived at a quiet and high-end villa area. Zhou Xun knew about it, but he had never been there.

The Bluetooth at the entrance of the gate detected Lin Zhile's car and automatically opened the railing. After entering the gate, he walked straight and turned a few more turns. Zhou Xun was dizzy, and finally the car stopped in front of the gate of a house.

"It's Brother Xun."

"Is it possible to worship God here?" Zhou Xun thought about Lin Zhile's good place to make a wish, but he didn't expect it to be a house, so he followed Lin Zhile out of the car.

Lin Zhile pulled Zhou Xun into the house, "Brother Xun, do you like the environment here?"

"The environment is very good, quiet, with a lot of green area, and the air is also good. You can't buy this," Zhou Xun looked at the house after entering the door, "It's good, but it's too big and too empty. There is an echo when you speak, but if you put on a speaker, it will not disturb the people."

"It's big, and I feel too empty. My mother let me live in this house when I first joined the company. I haven't lived in it for a few days before."

Mentioning Fang Hua, Zhou Xun naturally thought of her illness, and asked, "How is Aunt Fang's health? Last time we went to see her, I think she looks better than before."

Lin Zhile said: "Now she doesn't want to worry about the company's affairs, the pressure is not so great, and the discovery is relatively early. Although it is a recurrence, the chemotherapy effect is not bad. Now she is going to rest in the hospital for a while!"

"Well, that's pretty good." Zhou Xun felt a little relieved, after all, it was Lin Zhile's mother.

Lin Zhile did not take Zhou Xun to visit the house, but took him straight to the courtyard behind the villa. The rain had stopped, and only water was still dripping from the eaves. A few raindrops were also smashed.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhou Xun saw the jujube tree he was thinking of at a glance. He froze in place, then walked to the side of the jujube tree, and circled around the jujube tree several times in a row, "My God, this It's really the jujube tree in the yard of our old mother's house, which has already produced fruit."

Lin Zhile also walked under the jujube tree and stood beside Zhou Xun. He had come back several times before, and this year's fruit was much more than a few years ago. The lush jujube tree branches are full of green fruits. There are still raindrops hanging on it. hgwcd home (?′ω`?)

Although the flesh of the fruit is full, it has not yet reached the season, and it has not yet reached the time of redness. It is still verdant green now.

Zhou Xun fiddled with a few round jujubes and jujube branches. The leaves and jujubes shook together, and the raindrops hanging on them also shook, but they all swayed to the ground and fell into the mud.

"When did you move the jujube tree here? Where did you find it? I asked many people at that time, and they changed hands several times, but I couldn't find it," Zhou Xun said.

"I went back in the second year and saw that the jujube tree in the yard was gone. Later, someone found a buyer and bought it back from the buyer." Lin Zhile touched the wet trunk, "a few years ago It didn't grow well when it was first moved here. After moving the soil twice, it was wilted for the first month. I was so afraid of moving it to death. After that, I watched it every day, raised it little by little, and slowly grew up again. Yes, but there were not many flowers and fruits in the past few years, but this year there are more."

"Then what wish did you make with Zaoshu before?"

"In the first few years, I hope that I can get better soon, and then go back to find you."

After Zhou Xun listened, he pinched a green jujube on the top of his head, picked it off, put it in his mouth with the raindrops, and took a bite. The jujube meat just touched his tongue, and along with what Lin Zhile said just now, His eyes were so sour that he couldn't open his eyes, he swallowed it with difficulty, and he stuttered a little, "Too, shuan..."

He was just about to throw away the remaining half of the jujube, but suddenly remembered what he had said to fool Lin Zhile before, and felt funny and disturbed, "I can't throw it away, if it's the jujube essence, no matter what, it's also a jujube." Good luck for the year."

"Then what should we do, Brother Xun?" Lin Zhile carefully looked at the sour jujube that was bitten by Zhou Xun with a small mouthful, and it still had the small imprint of his tiger teeth, "Why don't we finish eating."

"I've already eaten a bite, I'll eat it for you, and you'll be lucky too," Zhou Xun handed the remaining half of a jujube to Lin Zhile. He took a bite and saw sour water gushing from his own mouth.

Lin Zhile doesn't like sourness, but prefers sweetness. After eating it, he kept frowning and swallowed it without chewing. Just as he was about to take the second bite, Zhou Xun snatched the jujube, "Okay , good luck eating it is sticking to it.”

Zhou Xun put the remaining bite into his mouth, swallowed the pulp after two bites, and spat out the jujube pit, all the way out of the courtyard through the cracks in the iron fence, "It's too sour. I owe you to pick one, you better be that jujube essence for this jujube.”

Lin Zhile smiled, "Maybe it's really that one, anyway, brother Xun and I will have good luck this year."

"Yeah, from now on, our Lele's hand won't hurt when it's cloudy and rainy." Zhou Xun took Lin Zhile's left hand again, kissed his little finger, and said, "Good luck to you, and then every day It's good luck."

The two looked at the jujube tree and began to giggle. Zhou Xun looked at the jujube tree, then at Lin Zhile, and said, "Didn't grandma tell you the next year? What I told you was all nonsense. The tree was only planted in the year I was born, not hundreds of years old."

"It's not a hundred-year-old jujube tree essence, but it's also a ten-year-old jujube tree essence, our jujube tree essence." Lin Zhile touched the trunk of the jujube tree as he said.

Zhou Xun moved closer to the jujube tree again, "I just remembered, will I be able to eat jujube cake this year? I really want to eat it. After the jujube is ripe, you can make it for me."

"If brother Xun wants to eat, we can go to the supermarket and buy some first."

"I don't eat other jujubes, I just eat the ones from this tree. This must be better than others," Zhou Xun said.

Neither of them was willing to leave the yard, talking around the jujube tree, with the sound of raindrops falling into the soil from time to time.

"Brother Xun, why don't we live here in the future, the jujube tree can't move the soil any more, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it if we move it."

"Okay, let's live here and take good care of this jujube tree. It will grow better next year. It will be great if it can be like it was in my hometown."

"Meow~" Neither Zhou Xun nor Lin Zhile noticed that there was a black and white striped cat standing at their feet, the paws were still stained with mud and rain, and the fur on its body was all shattered. It became strands and strands, dirty, and meowing in its mouth.

"Where did the cat come from?" Zhou Xun squatted down, picked up a branch on the ground to tease the little cat, "It doesn't look big, it should be a stray cat."

"It should be a stray cat. I didn't come here often before, so I haven't seen one." Lin Zhile said.

The kitten tentatively touched the tree branch in Zhou Xun's hand with its front paws. Seeing that Zhou Xun didn't make any other moves, it stepped on the tree branch under its feet.

"This kitten is fun," Zhou Xun moved the branch again. The kitten was frightened, and jumped onto the trunk of the jujube tree behind Zhou Xun, climbed up the trunk, and finally lay down on a tree trunk. On the branch of a jujube tree, he remained motionless, and his mouth was still making a low rumbling sound.

"Is the little cat hungry? Is there any food at home?" Zhou Xun asked Lin Zhile, "If it gets the other dates down, we both have to eat wild dates."

Thinking about the sour jujube just now, Zhou Xun had a toothache, and kept shaking his head, "No, it's too sour, hurry up and find something to eat, and get the kitten down."

"There's nothing to eat in the house. I'll look for it in the car. There should be some biscuits or something." Finally, Lin Zhile found a bag of milk and some dried meat.

Zhou Xun and Lin Zhile took something by themselves, and waved to the kitten on the branch, "Maomao, this is delicious, I'll eat it for you when you come down."

The kitten was probably hungry. When he saw the food, he didn’t stay on the tree for too long. He climbed down by himself. The branch of the jujube tree that the kitten was lying on just now trembled, but only a few leaves fell. It didn't fall off.

After the kitten got down, it pulled Zhou Xun's trousers with its paws, and Zhou Xun fed the beef jerky in his hand to the kitten.

"Lele, it's too big here, we both live in space, why don't we raise this cat directly." After the kitten finished eating one, Zhou Xun took another piece of jerky for it.

Lin Zhile went back to get a bowl, filled it with water, and put it in the yard. The kitten started to drink water again after eating the jerky, satiated, and didn't leave after being served comfortably, and had fun in the yard.

Lin Zhile looked at the kitten's cheerful appearance, and liked it very much, and said: "Other stray cats are used to being wild and don't recognize home. I think this little tabby cat likes it quite a bit, so let's raise it. Let's take it to the pet store tomorrow for a checkup, get an injection, and then go buy some cat food."

Zhou Xun said, "Do you want to give it a name?"

"Zhou Huahua." Lin Zhile blurted out without thinking.

"What name do you give to others? Zhou Huahua?" Zhou Xun was overjoyed after hearing that.

"It's your surname, and it's a flower. Zhou Huahua sounds pretty nice." Lin Zhile said.

"If he's black, call him Zhou Heihei? If he's white, call him Zhou Baibai?" After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he began to call the kitten Zhou Huahua, apparently agreeing on behalf of the cat, "What if he is a little cat?" Where's the tomcat?"

"A little tomcat can be named that too."

"All right, all right, let's call it Zhou Huahua." After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he started teasing the cat again, and then began to teach it to recognize people, pointing at himself, then pointing at Lin Zhile, "Zhou Huahua, I'm your father , he is also your father, don't get confused."

Zhou Huahua didn't care if she understood or not, anyway, she kept meowing around them.

"Aren't you full yet?" Lin Zhile took apart another piece of beef jerky, but Zhou Huahua only stuck out her tongue and licked it twice, but didn't eat it. "It should be full. It should like Brother Xun, so Love clings to you."

"Let's give it a bath, look at its dirty body." Zhou Xun carried the kitten into the house, but luckily everything in the bathroom was still complete.

Zhou Huahua is very docile, well-behaved and obedient, she doesn't make trouble or jump up, so Zhou Xun and Lin Zhile wash it.

Zhou Xun found that after washing, Zhou Huahua's appearance was still very high, with clean patterns, especially the eyes. He looked at Zhou Huahua, then at Lin Zhile,

"Just like when you were a child, the little clay figurine looks really good after being washed."

"Brother Xun, why don't you give me a bath at night, you can't treat them differently, if you have a small one, forget about the other small one."

"Are you fighting with a cat now?" Zhou Xun shook the water off his fingers, Zhou Huahua also shook her body, and the water droplets on her body shook the two of them, "It's better to wipe it first. .”

After Zhou Huahua was full, she ran to sleep on the sofa by herself, adapting well to her new home.

Zhou Xun pointed Lin Zhile to the kitten with eyes closed on the sofa, "Look, Zhou Huahua likes to sleep on the sofa. Do you want to argue with me about this? After all, I can't treat you differently."

"I'm still pursuing this a little bit. I'm in bed, so I won't argue."

After the rain stopped, it stopped falling. When Zhou Huahua woke up, the sun had already dried up the remaining raindrops on the jujube tree. The tiny light spots on the jujube tree leaves hit the ground, and the soil on the ground was also finely broken. One point is bright and one point is dark.

Zhou Xun went to the yard to look again. The jujube tree was very good. There was no need to dig the soil or fertilize it. It only needed to bask in the sun.

"This yard is not too small, only this jujube tree, will it be a little lonely, should we plant some other flowers, grass." Zhou Xun walked around the fence twice, they had no intention of following the fence before. I have no experience in tending flowers and plants, so I don't know if I can do it.

"Why don't we replant some jujube tree seedlings, I don't know how to do the rest, if it doesn't work anymore, but I will raise jujube trees," Lin Zhile gestured to the area of ​​the yard, "Considering jujube trees When the tree grows, you can plant five or six more."

"Then let's plant jujube trees," Zhou Xun said, "every year there will be jujubes, and every year there will be you."

Unknowingly, the sun was already towards the west, and the shadows of the two were slanted, side by side with the jujube tree, dragging for a long time, and the little cat that had just jumped onto Zhou Xun's shoulder, infinitely stable.

Zhou Xun took Lin Zhile's hand, thinking to himself, what is the best state at the moment, nothing more than that you are safe and still by my side.
