life under the pen of rebirth

Because of the change of the train ticket, it was already past nine when Hai Lin returned home. Of course, Kyoto is still bustling like daytime, so it is not too late at all.

As soon as he entered the door, the phone rang. Hai Lin threw the bag on the sofa and walked quickly to pick it up.

"Hello? I'm Hailin."

"Are you home? Why is the phone turned off? I've been calling all afternoon and I can't find you. Hey, let me tell you, it's been spread all over the school website. What's going on between you and that Yan Yufeng..."

Hai Lin was stunned by the series of questions at the other end, and then interrupted the other party dumbfounded: "Fu Jing, wait a moment and listen to me."

"...Okay, then tell me, what's going on, you really...really..." Fu Jing hesitated for a while, and then said haha, pretending to be indifferent and said, "It's okay, even if you are really ...Well, I will definitely recognize you as a brother in this life, don't worry...you can tell me."

"..." Hai Lin rolled his eyes and said with a light smile, "You said this, so I'll remember it. Don't go back on your word in the future."

"..." The breathing on the other end of the phone stopped strangely, and Fu Jing raised his voice immediately, "You don't mean that you are really gay, do you? I have never... Cough! Look What do you think, haven’t you seen the rehearsals of the acting department?! Why isn’t I from the acting department? Even if it’s not, can’t you flirt? I just like to pretend?! Who cares about you? You..."

"..." Hai Lin looked up at the ceiling speechlessly, sighed, and shouted, "Fu Jing!"

"...Why?" Fu Jing's voice lowered, a little muffled.

"If I were with you, would you feel unable to face me? Would you feel embarrassed? Or disgusting?"

"...It's not disgusting, it's just a little... a little embarrassing. After all, are you really the same?"

"Well, maybe, but this time it's a misunderstanding, and it will be explained soon." Hai Lin sat on the table next to him, unbuttoned his shirt with one hand, shrugged, and said with a smile, "Gays are actually gay. It's nothing to be afraid of, it's just that you fell in love with the same sex, and it's actually not much different from the relationship between you and Wang Keke, so don't think too much about it."

"Who said that there is not much difference!? Lao Tzu and Wang Keke are a couple for granted. You... If you fall in love with a man, do you know how much you will suffer... Like me before, I was really disgusting about homosexuality, Then I am like this, so if there is an idiot like a scavenger..."

"...Heh! Don't worry, since I chose this step, I must be ready to accept it." Hai Lin smiled, "Actually, it doesn't matter much to me what other people do. What I care about is yours. Opinion, at least you will support me to go on?!"

"...Well, of course." Fu Jing stammered back, and then roared angrily, "I don't want to support you, but will you turn back?! Don't just tell me These are useless, wait until you go back to school and treat me to dinner, I will hang up first!"

Hearing the 'beep' on the phone, Hai Lin couldn't help laughing, and his mood began to improve after he was separated from Qi Youyu.

As if remembering something, he put down the microphone, walked to the sofa and sat down, took out the phone from his bag and checked, it was turned off.

Thinking of someone's thoughts, Hai Lin chuckled and shook his head while turning on the phone. Immediately, a series of missed calls were displayed on the screen, including Fu Jing's, Shen Lan's, Xu Ran's, Xiang Fei's, and Chen Xiaojun's calls. There are also Professor Shi and a few acquainted classmates, etc., of course, there is also Yan Yufeng.

Hai Lin sighed and began to call back one by one.

"Hello, Sister Lan? I'm Hailin..."

In fact, before this incident happened, Hai Lin had the intention of disclosing his relationship with Qi Youyu to these friends, but he never found a suitable opportunity, so through this phone call, Hai Lin's words were ambiguous. Although he explained his relationship with Yan Yufeng, he did not deny that he was the same as him. He just gave them a psychological preparation as a buffer, so that things would not happen too suddenly in the future.

After explaining everything clearly, Hai Lin thought for a while, then dialed Yan Yufeng's number.

"Hello, Luo Feng? I'm Hai Lin."

"...Xiao Lin, uh, did you see the call I made to you? I have something to tell you, I..." Yan Yufeng was obviously a little nervous.

"Well, I know." Hai Lin smiled to comfort the person opposite, but there was no smile in his eyes, only helplessness, "You want to tell me that the photo in the morning was an accident, right? Is there any new movie to be promoted!? Need Do I cooperate with you?"

"...Yeah, it was an accident..."

Yan Yufeng squeezed the phone tightly, drank the red wine in the wine glass in one gulp, stared at the beautiful night view of Kyoto outside the floor-to-ceiling windows with his slightly misty peach blossom eyes, and almost blurted out the word 'no' on his lips, and in the end it was He pursed his lips tightly.

"Maybe it's because of the shooting angle. Well, there's a new movie about to start shooting, so I'm going to play tricks. You know, it's normal to be ambiguous in the entertainment industry, so don't think too much..."

"Well, I don't need you...no, I may need your help, just go to the show, yes, maybe... something unexpected happens to you, but don't mind, just be a guest, just ten minutes , and then I will explain this misunderstanding clearly, um, please, Xiaolin, okay, I'm hanging up, go to bed early, good night."

With a sound of 'dong', the wine glass hit the ground hard, and the shards of glass splashed across the calf exposed under the nightgown of the standing man. A bloodstain slowly dripped down the curve of the muscle, but the man did not nothing.

Hai Lin still asked Professor Shi for leave the next day, because the program was scheduled for this afternoon.

It wasn't until Yan Yufeng kissed him on the cheek in front of all the audience that Hai Lin knew what the so-called "beyond your expectations" meant.

"It's just hype." Yan Yufeng shrugged, and raised his eyebrows at Hailin with an exaggerated smile, "Look how enthusiastic the audience is below, I believe the attention of the new film will soar now, hey, you won't Seriously? Don't, you don't know how much work I put into my heart when I kissed you, I love the most sexy big beauty, so the next step is the key point!"

"I won't pretend to be sentimental, I know that beautiful women are much more attractive than me." Hai Lin seemed not to notice Yan Yufeng's abnormality, patted Yan Yufeng's shoulder with a smile, and raised his hand to signal Qin Yue, who was not far away, said, "The advertisement is over, hurry up! Look, the beauty you want is here, I will leave first, and I have to go back to class. The professor only gave us two hours off. I was hurt by you."

"Oh, let's go now. I hope you won't be late. Thank you for your help this time. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free. Goodbye..." Yan Yufeng looked at Hai Lin's back as he disappeared around the corner, and started talking The corners of the mouth were slowly pursed into a straight line, the originally raised hand fell on the forehead, covering half of the face, lowered the head, and smiled softly, but there was a sense of sadness in the whole person.

"Are you... all right?" Qin Yue approached Yan Yufeng cautiously, not understanding what was wrong with him, but vaguely felt that it was related to Hai Lin, "What's the matter with you...?"

"It's okay." After being quiet for a while, Yan Yufeng put down his hands, raised his head, glanced at Qin Yue's pure and lovely face expressionlessly, and turned around, "Let's go, you should go up next."

"..." Qin Yue frowned unwillingly at the indifference of the other party's secret expression, and was about to say something, but Yan Yufeng stopped and walked back.

"I almost forgot, the following is the highlight of the two of us, how can we not be more intimate." Yan Yufeng put his arms around Qin Yue's shoulders and put his smile on his mouth again, leading the woman who was stunned in his arms to the hosting venue go.

Although in that program, after Hai Lin left, Yan Yufeng smiled and explained to the audience that it was just a joke, and quickly drew everyone's attention to the new film, which was ambiguous with the heroine Qin Yue, but still Someone has been gossiping about it for a long time.

But in the end, it was the person involved who pushed it cleanly, so the matter subsided after a short time, except for the readers who were still noisy under "Dream Back to 2000". Regarding this, Hai Lin only left a sentence in his signature: No matter who I am in reality What kind of person, here, I am just an author.

After that, Hailin once again devoted himself to studying and coding every day. When he was free, he went to City B to meet Qi Youyu. His gaze gradually disappeared under Hai Lin's ignorance. After all, people are always forgetful.

Time passed little by little, and Hailin soon graduated as a graduate student. He resolutely rejected the opportunity to study abroad. He thought he would miss out on teaching at Peking University, but he was strongly recommended by his supervisor, Professor Shi, and finally stayed in Beijing. big.

"...this allowed Peking University's books and equipment to be preserved. In this regard, Zhou Zuoren is not quite a cultural traitor compared to what Zhang Ziping did; as for Zhang Ziping, at that time, his novels were at best It can only be regarded as a Tanmei novel. It has no consideration for the righteousness of the nation and has no backbone, but he wrote the book only for himself. In his words, "my family has a large population and needs to be fed", but he took money from the puppet government after all, so Calling it a cultural traitor doesn’t seem like an exaggeration... Well, that’s all for today, the next class is still before the class starts, everyone submits their own opinions for discussion, let’s end the class.”

"teacher!"

"What's the matter?" Hai Lin looked up at the students gathered at the table while packing his things, and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Hmm..." Several people pushed and shoved a few times, and finally the girl in front moved her eyes and said with a blushing face, "Tomorrow...is my birthday, I invited my classmates out for dinner, I want to ask Teacher, do you have time to go together?"

"This..." Hai Lin frowned and thought for a while, looked at the group of students in front of him in a bit of embarrassment, and finally shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm afraid not, I have an appointment with someone tomorrow, and I'm going to City B tonight Go, you won't be back until the day after tomorrow."

"In that case... then forget it, teacher, then I'm fine..."

The students had obvious disappointment on their faces. They really liked this young and gentle teacher. Many students were also Hai Lin's readers, and they liked to discuss with him about Hai Lin's books in private.

"How about it." Hailin picked up the packed books, looked up at them, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow's treat is mine, the teacher invites you to 'Wuweiju' to have a meal, order whatever you want, I will If you call in advance, you can just report my name when you arrive, is that okay?"

"Yeah! Thank you teacher!"

"'Wuweiju' is also, great!"

"I'm going there for the first time! I'll be envious if I tell them..."

……

Hai Lin looked at the excited look of the group of children under 20 years old, smiled lightly, turned around and walked out of the classroom, shaking his head.

"...But I want to invite the teacher to go with me..." The girl who spoke first stepped up to the podium, sat down on the seat that Hai Lin had made, and lay down on the table, her face full of displeasure.

"Hey, let's invite you next time. There is nothing the teacher can do if he has something to do tomorrow?!"

"But the teacher has something to do every weekend... It's fine in the past, tomorrow is my birthday..."

"...Then maybe the teacher is going to see his girlfriend, and you are not the teacher's girlfriend, of course no one else is important!"

"...How can there be such an emphasis on sex and despise students..."

The group of freshmen brought together for the first time were not very old, but they were easy to get along with, and Hailin liked them very much.

Putting the things in his hand back to the office, Hai Lin rode his bicycle home.

The traffic in Kyoto is very congested. Compared with cars, bicycles are often more comfortable than bicycles, so Hailin doesn't plan to buy a car for the time being.

The place where Hailin lives now is still the original house, which Hailin bought a few years ago.

As soon as the door was opened, the grown-up cat 'Xiaoyu' came up meowing.

"'Xiao Yu'." Hai Lin bent down, picked up the cat and walked into the house with a smile, "I'm going to take a car to see your brother with the same name—— another Xiao Yu, and I'll take you to Sister Lan's house first, um ?”

'Meow--'

"Hehe! Are you reluctant to part with me? Don't worry, I'll be back the day after tomorrow. You have to be good when you stay at Sister Lan's house, and don't make other children cry again, you know?"

'Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo--'

Hai Lin put down the cat and picked up the phone on the table.

"Hey, mother? What's the matter? Mother... I really don't need a blind date... No, uh, it's okay, but he's not here now... Married? Don't be in such a hurry...I'm only 30 years old, don't rush... ...uh, if you really want to see him, then I'll see and find a time, he's really busy... well, let me tell him, well, it's okay, I'm fine here, Don't worry about me, I will take time to go home in a few days, okay, then you pay attention to your body, um, I'm dead."

After hanging up the phone, Hai Lin leaned back on the sofa with a wry smile, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Hailin is in his thirties, but he is still not married. Children of this age in the village can play soy sauce, but since he promised to be with Qi Youyu, he will naturally not get married, but Hailin has never told Haimu about the two of them. Therefore, Haimu began to worry about her youngest son's marriage two years ago.

At first, Hailin rejected Haimu's inquiry on the grounds that he hadn't worked yet, but now that he's working and he's not too young, Hailin naturally has no reason to refuse.

But going on like this is not a problem, Hailin decided to make it clear to Haimu, but how can Haimu accept it without being too much hit?

Hai Lin hasn't made up his mind yet.

'beep beep—'

Picking up the phone casually, Hai Lin casually gave a 'Hello'.

"Hai Lin? I'm Fu Jing, are you alone at home now?"

"Well, what happened?"

"Are you going out in a while? Don't you know?! There is a surprise."

"But I've already bought a ticket to go to City B tonight, and I'm going to send 'Xiaoyu' to Sister Lan later, why can't I go out? What kind of surprise?"

"Hey, anyway, just don't go out... But it's almost here now, right?!"

"Who's here? You want to..."

'Ding dong——'!

"...The person you mentioned is here? Hang up first, I'll open the door." After hanging up the phone, Hai Lin stood up, with an indescribable feeling throbbing in his heart. He had a premonition that this would be a real surprise.

'Ding dong—— ding dong—'

"Here, come, don't ring the doorbell anymore, it will burn out... There is such a hurry... Uh..." Hai Lin was startled by the person rushing towards him, and immediately felt the familiar breath on his lips, and immediately froze Living.

"Baby, I haven't seen you for so long, do you think I won't be in a hurry?"
