On the old bus, boys in Jinshan school uniforms sat side by side in the corner of the back row. The red clothes and black trousers made the boy's face more youthful.

Xu Tonglan took off his earphones, looked back at the scenery outside the window, his eyes fell on Lin Shian's slightly frowning face, and lowered his head slightly, he asked, "Aren't you afraid of motion sickness if you're still doing quizzes in the car?"

Lin Shi'an didn't hide any secrets, handed over the phone screen, raised his eyes and said, "Do you want to be together?"

Xu Tonglan glanced casually, then turned his face away abruptly, making Lin Shi'an, who had completed the prank, laugh non-stop.

The fleshy picture on the screen of the phone was twitching crazily, and Lin Shi'an comforted him: "Life forces me, forgive me, forgive me." Seeing Xu Tonglan's brows slightly frowned, he added another sentence: "I'm here for you. I've found it, and I'll send it home to you."

"Why are you so thick-skinned?"

"You don't understand," Lin Shi'an said with a smile, "How can you be thick-skinned when it comes to making money?"

Xu Tonglan turned his face to the side with a face that couldn't bear to look directly, trying to keep his eyes away from those things, "You didn't react when you saw this?"

"It's like an artist who has been drawing the human body for a long time and doesn't feel it." Lin Shi'an listened to the noisy voice in the earphones, turned up the volume, and plugged an earphone into Xu Tonglan's ears, "Besides, let's see Can you get hard at triple speed?"

For a film of one or two hours, he pulled the progress bar, maintaining a speed of 5 minutes, and his natural and neat gestures matched with that righteous face, as if he was approving a memorial.

After the momentary shock, Xu Tonglan regained his composure and was sure that he had opened the door to a new world, because he was amused by the triple-speed voice.

He cleared his throat: "This is on the bus."

"Every second counts, Xueba," Lin Shian spread his hands.

Xu Tonglan was silenced by him, and simply teased: "Aren't you good?"

The trembling picture stopped, Lin Shi'an turned his head, and said with a half-smile: "Do you want to try?"

The two were arguing in the weird and cheerful background sound, and it didn't stop until they got off the car.

"Lin Shi'an, wait a minute," Xu Tonglan stared at the big red signboard of a store, unable to walk, "I'll buy some sesame seeds."

"Okay," Lin Shi'an stuffed his pocket, waiting for him to buy it.

"Do your parents eat?" Xu Tonglan asked, "I'll buy more if I eat."

Lin Shi'an was stunned, "Buy it, Aunt Fang will eat."

If Xu Tonglan hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that Aunt Fang used to like shrimp very much.

Later, out of fear that he and Uncle Lin would be greedy, they never ate it again.

"Aunt Fang?" Xu Tonglan interrupted his thoughts with the crayfish he bought, "Your aunt lives with your parents?"

"Aunt Fang is my adoptive mother," Lin Shi'an explained without any emotion: "I usually live with my adoptive father. Aunt Fang is working as a confinement woman and rarely comes back. She is resting at home these two days. I'll go to the next one."

Lin Shi'an didn't deliberately emphasize it, but the word adoptive parents hit Xu Tonglan's eardrum suddenly.

He suddenly remembered that this person said that he likes watching cartoons, maybe it wasn't just nonsense, maybe it was true, maybe it was because... didn't he watch it when he was a child?

Unintentionally prying through someone else's privacy, the speculation in my heart is inexplicably sour.

Xu Tonglan was silent for a moment, looked at Lin Shi'an carelessly, and patted him on the shoulder.

However, Lin Shi'an didn't seem to feel the consolation from it at all. He took a breath of the smell of spicy crayfish in the air, and said "Tsk", "It smells so good."

Uncle Lin's small supermarket is not far from the bus station. It is a narrow room, located in front of a row of old cement-colored small bungalows.Lin Shi'an hummed while carrying his bag, and shouted from a few steps away: "Uncle Lin, I'm back!"

A somewhat old middle-aged man came out of the convenience store, smiling kindly at him.Lin Shi'an grabbed Xu Tonglan's schoolbag strap, and walked in front of Uncle Lin in three steps at a time, "Uncle, my roommate, Xu Tonglan."

"Oh Xiao Xu," Uncle Lin smiled kindly at Xu Tonglan, "I often hear from Xiao Lin that you are outstanding."

Lin Shi'an heard the words that he kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart. He didn't know who said it, but he didn't say it anyway.

Xu Tonglan took a full look at his expression, showed the appearance of a good student, and said politely to Uncle Lin: "I'm sorry to bother you."

Aunt Fang, who was busy in the room, probably heard the voice and came out together, seeing Xu Tonglan warmly saying: "Good boy, come in and sit." After she finished speaking, she smiled and complained to Uncle Lin: "You old bastard? What's the matter? When you see someone else's child coming, let the wind blow."

Uncle Lin slapped his head: "Didn't you remind me of this?" He led Xu Tonglan into the convenience store. There were a variety of biscuits and snacks on the shelves. He smiled and said, "Take whatever you want."

Xu Tonglan looked at Lin Shi'an who had taken out an old popsicle from the freezer and had already bitten on it, thinking silently, having a supermarket at home is a dream in the world.

Lin Shian's tongue was shaken by the ice, and then he let out a comfortable sigh, not forgetting to break the stage, "Uncle, don't be polite with him, his family is rich and noble, but you can kill him."

"Not sensible." Uncle Lin said.

It was clearly a reprimand, but mixed with love.

In the evening, Uncle Lin closed the door of the supermarket, and the family sat on the separated second-floor platform to have dinner.

Surrounded by piles of goods, the concrete floor was covered with dust, and a thin layer of newspaper was placed on the table, stained with a translucent oily sheen.The box of lobster that Xu Tonglan bought was placed in the middle, surrounded by three simple side dishes.

The gaudy plastic chairs have some mottled marks, mixed with blackened cracks.Xu Tonglan's eyes froze for a moment, and his steps subconsciously hesitated.

Lin Shi'an looked at Xu Tonglan who had not sat down for a long time, and took out a copy of "May [-]" from his bag and threw it on the inferior plastic chair, "Sit on it."

"Oh," Aunt Fang also understood now, "Shi An probably forgot to tell you that the conditions in our house are not very good." She turned to Lin Shi'an and said, "Why don't you take Xiao Xu to Eat in a restaurant outside?"

She spoke frankly, without any embarrassing look on her face.

"Okay," Lin Shi'an stood up, "It's rare for you to come here once, I have to do my best as a landlord."

"It's okay," Xu Tonglan sat down with "May [-]" and picked up the bowl with a gap.

"You don't have to force it," Lin Shi'an said, "I forgot to vaccinate you." He said it sincerely, without any embarrassment, but Xu Tonglan didn't know what to say.

He simply took a big mouthful of rice and picked up a chopstick of potato shreds.

The whole family ate happily in this too simple environment, Aunt Fang occasionally told two jokes in the market, Lin Shi'an said a few funny things about the school, and the rest of the cheerful Uncle Lin was laughing at the side, immersed in this In the homely and happy atmosphere, Xu Tonglan suddenly felt that the environment here was not so uncomfortable.

even……

It's happier than eating at his priceless table.

Lin Shi'an didn't eat much, so he put down the bowls and chopsticks early, and put on gloves to peel Xu Tonglan's shrimp.Uncle Lin on the other end was peeling for Aunt Fang, as if the two were competing with each other in speed, Lin Shian glanced at Uncle Lin after peeling one.

Until the shrimp in Xu Tonglan's bowl piled up into a hill, "Don't always peel it for me, you can eat it too."

"Both he and your Uncle Lin don't eat this food." Aunt Fang explained: "Don't be shy, Shi An is a hardworking person, and the classmates help each other." She ate several shrimps in a row, and explained: "If you need any help at school, just ask Shi'an, he is amazing."

Complimenting her own child, Aunt Fang's eyes deepened with smile lines, she looked very kind.

Uncle Lin added from the side: "Xiao Xu, you should help Shi'an more with your studies."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Fang gave her a sideways glance, "Do you still need to say this? Xiao Xu is sensible and polite, and she will definitely treat us well."

Lin Shi'an glanced at Xu Tonglan calmly, and cast a meaningful look.

Xu Tonglan, who was praised as a flower, lowered his head silently, feeling the shame of betraying others' trust.

After dinner, Lin Shi'an cleaned up the dishes neatly, Uncle Lin continued to look after the store, and Aunt Fang was packing his change of clothes.

After Lin Shi'an finished washing the dishes, he took the clothes Aunt Fang had folded, picked up the keys, and snapped his fingers in the ear of Xu Tonglan, who was buried in the questions, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Xu Tonglan packed up his things and followed him out.

"There is only one bed in the storeroom. If there were only the three of us, Uncle Lin and I would sleep in cardboard boxes. But Aunt Fang is back, so we can't wrong Madam."

He shook the key in his hand, "My neighbor Brother Cao left it for me, so that I can sleep at his house if I have something to do. But he's on a blind date today, so we shouldn't be able to see him."

"Then what are you... doing with this?" Xu Tonglan looked at the box of condoms he had just pulled out from the counter, hesitating to speak.

"It's for you." Lin Shi'an said casually.

"Lin Shi'an..."

Lin Shi'an chuckled, "A certain person said that he would sleep with me in the afternoon, why can't he help being so funny now?"

Xu Tonglan felt her heart beating a little faster, probably because of anger.
