old man in town

, looking at the sleeping Uncle Zhan.Li Xiaomo couldn't see Uncle Zhan's appearance clearly, he could only see his figure rising and falling with his breathing.The air conditioner in the room was chilly, Li Xiaomo was wrapped tightly in the blanket, feeling a sudden desire in his heart, so he climbed onto Uncle Zhan's bed and slept with him.Will Uncle Zhan agree?Li Xiaomo thought for a long time, but he didn't know where he got the courage to speak softly: "Uncle, Uncle."

"Enen...Xiao Mo, what's wrong?" Uncle Zhan yawned again and again.

"Uncle, I can't sleep, I want to sleep with you." Li Xiaomo's voice trembled.

However, to Li Xiaomo's surprise, Uncle Zhan actually agreed, he moved his body away, opened the blanket to make room for Li Xiaomo, and asked with concern: "Why can't I sleep, are you homesick? Come on, come and sleep together."

Li Xiaomo quickly sat up, embraced his own pillow, and jumped onto Uncle Zhan's bed.

"Uncle, is it crowded?" Li Xiaomo got into Uncle Zhan's blanket and asked softly.

"It's okay, I can sleep, why can't you fall asleep?"

"I just feel very lonely, I often like this, neurotic."

"You child must be homesick." Uncle Zhan helped Li Xiaomo cover the quilt, and then lay down on his own.

"Is the air conditioner turned cold? Why are you so cold?"

"Hey, this temperature is just right for falling asleep." Li Xiaomo smirked, lying on the same bed with Uncle Zhan as if in a dream.

The single bed is not very big, two people can only be next to each other.Li Xiaomo's icy body touched Uncle Zhan's smooth arm, and he suddenly felt very quiet in his heart. The restlessness just now was swept away, as if the world around him had nothing to do with him.Not long after Uncle Zhan, the deep snoring sounded again.Li Xiaomo leaned his head slightly to Uncle Zhan's shoulder, he was afraid that Uncle Zhan's hair would be tied, so he could only approach and stick to him gently.

Li Xiaomo fell asleep soon after listening to Uncle Zhan's rhythmic snoring.

☆, 26. Open the door to the Internet and usher in a new world

After returning from Tianjin, Li Xiaomo bid farewell to Uncle Zhan at the train station.Uncle Zhan told Li Xiaomo that this trip to the north was really fun, and he hoped to go out together next time.Li Xiaomo joked that he would take Uncle Zhan abroad, and asked Uncle Zhan if he dared.Uncle Zhan said that he has nothing to be afraid of, if Li Xiaomo ignores him abroad, he will go to those foreign friends who bought his duck meat.Li Xiaomo promised Uncle Zhan that he would sort out the photos of the play and send them to Uncle Zhan.It took him three days to edit a beautiful e-magazine with Uncle Zhan's photos and the music of "World's No. [-]".After sending it over, Uncle Zhan's family was pleasantly surprised.

Li Xiaomo didn't want to go home, so he signed up for a guitar training class, and used music to pass the hot summer vacation.When I am alone, the time becomes very pale, flying away as light as a feather, and in a blink of an eye, school has already started.The quiet campus has returned to its former hustle and bustle.Teacher Xue also came back from studying abroad, and he gave Li Xiaomo a set of mascots for the London Olympics.

Li Xiaomo ushered in two important tasks.One is to open an online store to help Uncle Zhan buy duck meat. This is something I wanted to do spontaneously.The other is this year's "Challenge Cup" College Student Entrepreneurship Competition, which was suggested by Mr. Xue.The water is hot or cold, and there are priorities. Li Xiaomo plans to fulfill his promise to Uncle Zhan first.

Uncle Zhan in the small town has followed Li Xiaomo's suggestion and hired five workers to expand the supply of salted water ducks.It turned out to be a success.Uncle Zhan, who has gradually transformed into an operator, is much more relaxed.Find time every day to learn how to drive.On the contrary, the sales volume of the small store has increased instead of falling, and the business is getting better and better.By the time Li Xiaomo started school, Uncle Zhan had already got the car book.

Fortunately, school has just started, and the schoolwork is not very heavy.Li Xiaomo has enough time to conceive the construction and marketing of the online store.Li Xiaomo registered an account on Taobao, authenticated his identity, confirmed his bank card, bound Alipay, and the store was ready to open.He gave the shop a name: Zhan Style Salted Water Duck.The next thing you need to think about is to put the product on the shelves.This requires pricing, taking photos of saltwater ducks, beautifying photos with PS, and decorating small shops.Li Xiaomo also promoted and introduced the physical store in the town on the online store.

The last key step is to do marketing and publicity to increase the click volume and transaction rate of the store.Li Xiaomo plans to start with the development of resources around him.He designed and printed eye-catching leaflets, which were then distributed in every dormitory in the school.At the same time, use social tools such as Renren, QQ, and WeChat to release news.Since last semester, many students have already tasted the deliciousness of duck meat. The charm of duck meat itself is the best advertisement. Several students even took the initiative to ask Li Xiaomo why he didn't order duck meat.Li Xiaomo told them that he has switched to online sales.Li Xiaomo's consistent good popularity has boosted Salted Duck's reputation.The store has sold more than 200 saltwater ducks within a month of its launch.The students are also very righteous, and almost all of them are on Taobao, giving five-star praise and long messages.Li Xiaomo also paid out of his own pocket to the Taobao backstage, which made the search ranking much higher.In the second month, sales had doubled.Li Xiaomo installed Aliwangwang on his mobile phone, so that he could accept inquiries from buyers at any time.Although Li Xiaomo was very tired, he was very happy.

Uncle Zhan was also extremely busy. When Li Xiaomo got an order, he forwarded it to Uncle Zhan directly on QQ, and then Uncle Zhan arranged for someone to pack and send the package.The powerful development and penetration of modern logistics escorts this mode of operation.Through the joint efforts of Uncle Zhan and Li Xiaomo, the final monthly sales of the store doubled.Some tourists even came here to visit and buy salted water duck after discovering the outlet on Taobao.Uncle Zhan gave Li Xiaomo a commission of [-] yuan for each duck, but Li Xiaomo didn't want it, so Uncle Zhan insisted on calling Li Xiaomo into his account.However, Li Xiaomo bought a GPS navigator for Uncle Zhan directly on Taobao with the money and sent it over.He knew that Uncle Zhan was going to buy a car.Uncle Zhan was so angry that he didn't call him for several days.

Li Xiaomo had to lament that the Internet is definitely a Genesis invention.It connects people thousands of miles away, accelerates the circulation of information, and restructures the survival mode of modern business.Li Xiaomo used the Internet as a new tool to bring Uncle Zhan's old shop to a new level of development.In the short time he has been working as an online store, Li Xiaomo has not only used his ingenuity, but also put everything he has learned into practice, constantly honing himself in practice.After continuous learning, I have mastered more business skills.If a person does things for the one he loves, he will definitely do well.

☆, 27. Came to the town again and went home in Uncle Zhan’s new car

Li Xiaomo originally planned to go to Hong Kong with his classmates for the National Day.But one night, when I was on the phone with Uncle Zhan, I heard that Uncle Zhan was worried about his son's grades.Uncle Zhan's youngest son has good grades and is often ranked among the top ten in the class.But after I was promoted to a new level this year, I encountered a big problem in mathematics learning.In the first stage test at the beginning of school, only more than 30 students in the class were tested in mathematics.Li Xiaomo also felt that this was a serious matter.Mathematics learning is coherent, and the knowledge at this stage often becomes the basic tool for the next stage.The interlocking knowledge structure makes any missing link affect the whole.

Li Xiaomo changed his mind temporarily, and he volunteered to go to Uncle Zhan's house to give his little brother extra lessons.Uncle Zhan was afraid that Li Xiaomo would be tired, so he didn't agree at first.But Li Xiaomo has been grinding with Uncle Zhan for several days, and Uncle Zhan finally agreed.Not being able to go out to play, in fact Li Xiaomo is not disappointed at all, on the contrary he is very happy.Because he found another reason to go to the town to meet Uncle Zhan.Hong Kong on National Day must be crowded with people.Rather than being crowded with people and seeing so many people, it would be better to spend a seven-day vacation quietly in a beautiful town and only see one person.

Li Xiaomo appeared again at the familiar train station, waiting for Uncle Zhan to pick him up.Uncle Zhan had already been waiting at the door early, Uncle Zhan took Li Xiaomo's big backpack, his hand sank, and asked with a smile, "What are you packing this time, so heavy?"

"There are teaching materials for the little brother, and some food for the family."

When Uncle Zhan heard Li Xiaomo say that the family was very happy, he couldn't bear it, and blamed Li Xiaomo for buying things indiscriminately.

Li Xiaomo walked down the steps side by side with Uncle Zhan.Li Xiaomo walked straight towards a row of parked motorcycles and electric cars.Uncle Zhan's voice suddenly came from behind: "Xiao Mo, I went wrong, this way."

When I turned around, I found that Uncle Zhan was already in another direction. The two of them were already more than ten meters apart at some point.

Uncle Zhan pointed to a row of small cars not far away, and the smart Li Xiaomo instantly understood the mystery.He widened his eyes, jumped up and down to Uncle Zhan in surprise, and hugged Uncle Zhan immediately: "Ah, uncle, you bought a car, which one is yours?"

Uncle Zhan staggered, and used his strong arms to stabilize Li Xiaomo who was jumping around, "It's that black crown." Uncle Zhan couldn't move his hand, so he could only point the direction with his chin.Li Xiaomo followed Uncle Zhan's gesture and looked over, a clean and shiny black Toyota Crown was quietly parked in the middle of a row of cars.

"Uncle, you didn't tell me when you bought the car." Li Xiaomo blamed him a little, he didn't want himself to miss every happy moment in Uncle Zhan's life.

"Hey, Xiao Mo, uncle, I want to give you a surprise. If you don't come to my house, I plan to drive to Xiamen to find you in a few days."

"Haha, I wouldn't have come if I had known earlier, I'm waiting for you to pick me up."

"Come here, let uncle treat you well, you have helped uncle so much, I really want to thank you very much."

"Uncle, if you say that, you will be born."

The two walked towards the parking place while talking. Uncle Zhan put the bag on the back seat, let Li Xiaomo sit in the passenger seat, and got into the car himself.

"Uncle, you just started driving, so you should drive slowly, it's safer." Li Xiaomo reminded with concern.

"It's okay, Xiao Mo, your uncle and I couldn't get a driver's license before. It wasn't because I didn't have the skills, but because I couldn't understand the traffic regulations. I have been in business for so many years. In private, I have driven small trucks and friends' cars. Many times, no problem. Are you afraid to ride in my car?" Uncle Zhan was teasing Li Xiaomo again.

Li Xiaomo thought that Uncle Zhan's self-confidence had been hit, so he hurriedly explained embarrassingly like a rattle: "No way, uncle, I don't care about you."

It wasn't until Uncle Zhan smirked that Li Xiaomo realized that he had been fooled.Uncle Zhan likes to see Li Xiaomo's clumsy appearance.

Walking on the country road again today, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery on both sides is still beautiful.The forward speed is already galloping, which is also in line with Li Xiaomo's state of mind, because he wants to arrive quickly, the town that haunts him in his dreams.

☆、28. Uncle Zhan, I want to kiss you tonight

In the small town, under the banyan tree, beside the river, and in the attic, Li Xiaomo spends six hours a day tutoring mathematics for Uncle Zhan's son Zhan Hu.Three hours each in the morning and evening, with lectures in the morning and questions in the afternoon.Li Xiaomo is very good at analyzing and summarizing. He can often disperse complicated and cumbersome knowledge points one by one to explain clearly, and finally recombine them to strengthen Zhan Hu's memory with the most concise language.Under the intensive thinking training of constant comparison and association, Zhan Hu quickly built a tree of knowledge in his heart.The trunk of this tree has grown, and now it only needs to insist on making connections to add branches and leaves.In the afternoon, Li Xiaomo supervised Zhan Hu, completing the summer homework and the exercises assigned in the morning.If there is a wrong question, he will explain it patiently and carefully several times until Zhan Hu fully understands it.Uncle Zhan and Auntie felt distressed when they saw Li Xiaomo working so hard, so they changed their ways every day to prepare delicious food for him.Uncle Zhan specially put various fruits on the table in different patterns every day when Li Xiaomo was making up lessons.Zhan Hu also likes Li Xiaomo more and more.Uncle Zhan's daughter, Zhan Wen, did not come home during the holidays. The arrival of Li Xiaomo brought another beautiful scenery to the family.The relationship between him and Uncle Zhan's family is getting better and better.

On the sixth day of the holiday, at noon, Uncle Zhan and Auntie ordered the business in the store to go out early.Before going out, Uncle Zhan told Li Xiaomo that he and his aunt were going to help prepare a tribe's wedding, and they would only be back at night.He asked Li Xiaomo if he wanted to go, because he wanted Li Xiaomo to take a break.Li Xiaomo declined, because he preferred to give Zhan Hu a good tutoring lesson at home.

During dinner, Uncle Zhan and Auntie didn't come back, and Li Xiaomo didn't call to disturb them either.For himself and Zhan Hu, he briefly fried a fried pork with mushrooms and stewed some rice.Zhan Hu liked Li Xiaomo's cooking very much and ate a lot.Li Xiaomo kept picking up vegetables for him.At around nine o'clock in the evening, my aunt and a man helped Uncle Zhan back. Li Xiaomo was startled, and hurried over to help Uncle Zhan.There was a strong smell of alcohol coming from Uncle Zhan.After asking, I found out that Uncle Zhan drank too much at the dinner table at night.The aunt called a neighbor to help, and together they brought Uncle Zhan back.Auntie and Li Xiaomo worked hard to help Uncle Zhan onto the bed. Auntie quickly took off Uncle Zhan's coat. When she wanted to take off Uncle Zhan's underwear, she realized that Li Xiaomo was beside her, so she withdrew her hand again.Li Xiaomo fetched a basin of water and helped Uncle Zhan wipe his face.Uncle Zhan was still moaning and saying unclear words.But it can be seen that Uncle Zhan is a very good wine drinker.Drunk, not insane at all.

Seeing that Uncle Zhan fell asleep, Auntie told Li Xiaomo that she had to go back.Uncle Zhan and Auntie are in the small town, because they are kind and generous, and they are very popular.Both are organizers of the wedding.But when Uncle Zhan was entertaining guests at the wine table at night, he was overwhelmed and drunk, and Auntie's task was even heavier.She still needs to rush back, greet guests, and pack things.She told Li Xiaomo very sorry that she would not come at night.Li Xiaomo reassures his aunt that he will take good care of Uncle Zhan and Zhan Hu at home.

After his aunt left, Li Xiaomo told Zhan Hu to watch the last episode of the TV series, and then urged him to go to bed.Li Xiaomo went to take a bath, and came to see Uncle Zhan before going to bed.

Li Xiaomo simply squatted down, propped his head on his arms, and stared at Uncle Zhan's face with a smile.Uncle Zhan's sword-like eyebrows flicked ink twice, and his eyes rolled restlessly under the eyelids, wondering what kind of dream Uncle Zhan was dreaming about.

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo." Uncle Zhan let out a deep voice again, Li Xiaomo heard it clearly, but was startled.He thought that Uncle Zhan had woken up, so he agreed with a "graciousness".As a result, Uncle Zhan didn't respond at all.It turned out that in Uncle Zhan's dream it was Li Xiaomo.

Li Xiaomo suddenly wanted to kiss Uncle Zhan very much.This instinctive desire made him excited.He gently stroked Uncle Zhan's hard hair with his hands, closed his eyes, then slowly approached his face, and slowly pressed his lips against Uncle Zhan's mouth.There was a faint smell of wine between the lips and teeth, sweet, and it also contained the unique fragrance of a mature man. This is really good wine.Li Xiaomo doesn't know how to taste wine, but he used his first kiss to taste the taste that he can only understand with the tip of his tongue.Lips left Uncle Zhan, Li Xiaomo looked at the charming night outside the window, wishing that time would stop here and never pass away.

☆、29. If I were a bird, you would be the wind under my wings

After spending a warm holiday in the small town, Li Xiaomo returned to Xiamen with heavy memories of the harvest.My heart is full of reluctance.To Li Xiaomo, the life in the small town is like the sweet spring flowing in the Black Mountain. Although it is not as bright and attractive as the drinks on the shelves, it is indeed what the body really needs.This kind of need must be obtained every day. Li Xiaomo can feel the freshness and sweetness in the constant taste. In the continuous accumulation, Li Xiaomo's body and mind become more and more complete.

On the first day after Li Xiaomo returned to school, Teacher Xue called him to the office.Teacher Xue asked Li Xiaomo if he had any plans for the theme of the "Challenge Cup" Entrepreneurship Competition for College Students.Seeing Li Xiaomo hemming and hawing, Teacher Xue was a little unhappy.Because the competition will be held in December.Not only the theme, but now Li Xiaomo has not even found his teammates.According to regulations, to participate in the competition requires a leading teacher and four team members.First of all, there is no doubt that Mr. Xue will take time out of his busy work to be Li Xiaomo's instructor.But the theme needs to be imagined by oneself, and the team also needs to be built by Li Xiaomo himself.Teacher Xue asked Li Xiaomo to give himself a plan within a week, which included team building for the business plan and theme setting.This is the first time Li Xiaomo sees Teacher Xue angry.But he knew in his heart that this was for Mr. Xue's own good.Teacher Xue has always valued Li Xiaomo very much, his anger just shows that he has high expectations for Li Xiaomo.A person's life is like a horse. To become a thousand-mile horse, one cannot rely on an irresponsible Bi Mawen, but a strict horseman and a whip.With continuous spurs, a good horse can really gallop thousands of miles in the end.

Li Xiaomo came to ask about it, and had a few friends with good grades, of course, everyone couldn't miss such a rare opportunity to exercise.Soon, a small team of four was established.The name of the team is "Little Universe".But the theme of entrepreneurship stumped the small universes.The so-called entrepreneurship, the core thing is nothing more than technological invention or business model.As a management science major, it is very difficult for undergraduates to make technological inventions in e-commerce.Some team members suggested that it is possible to ask Mr. Xue for help.But Li Xiaomo refused, he didn't want to disappoint Teacher Li.He wants to prove to Mr. Li that he can independently conceive a very sophisticated business plan.There is no hope for scientific and technological inventions, and we can only rely on business model innovation.At this time, another teammate, also a good friend of Li Xiaomo, reminded Li Xiaomo.He knows that Li Xiaomo has been working on an online store recently, and whether this can provide inspiration for the team.Li Xiaomo analyzed his current operation mode to the students.This method of producing and adding an online store is actually a conventional model, and there is nothing innovative about it.But a friend asked Li Xiaomo, since there is no innovation in the operation mode, why does Li Xiaomo's online store sell so well.Li Xiaomo blurted out: That's because the duck itself is delicious.This sentence reminds everyone.Since duck meat is delicious, can we seek help from duck producers.If we can refine the promotion method, use duck meat as the core, and innovate the promotion model, we will definitely be able to grow bigger and stronger in the end.If you succeed in participating in the competition, you can raise a considerable amount of entrepreneurial funds for producers and promoters; if you fail, you can also accumulate experience and get guidance from many experts throughout the process, and everyone will benefit in the end .Everyone unanimously turned their attention to Li Xiaomo.Because inadvertently, the team members have imagined that they have duck meat production as the core technology, coupled with the innovation of business model supported by e-commerce, invisibly, two sharp swords are about to be held in the hands of the team.But the person who drew the sword must be Li Xiaomo.But now, Li Xiaomo regrets saying this.This will inevitably involve Uncle Zhan.But Li Xiaomo looked at everyone's eager eyes and knew that he had no way out.

That night, Li Xiaomo sat by the flower bed and called Uncle Zhan again.

"Xiaomo, Zhan Hu said that he went to school this week. He listened to math class and did math homework. He felt much more relaxed. Thank you so much."

"Hehe, Uncle, that's good. Don't say thank you to me. I do these things in the hope that you will be happy."

"After Uncle met you, every day is very happy, haha."

"That's good, Uncle, I have one thing I want to ask you for. It just might cause you trouble"

When Uncle Zhan heard this, he was not happy anymore. He said that as long as he can help, he will do his best.

This is the second time Li Xiaomo asked Uncle Zhan to help him after sending duck meat.He stuttered a bit.It is estimated that in the end, Uncle Zhan didn't really understand what he heard.But Uncle Zhan agreed very firmly.Uncle Zhan told Li Xiaomo that he could give him the recipe for duck meat.

As soon as Li Xiaomo heard it, he knew that Uncle Zhan had misunderstood.He didn't need Uncle Zhan's secret recipe for duck meat, but Uncle Zhan's theoretical participation in this matter.If this entrepreneurial plan is finally invested, the core lies in the need for Uncle Zhan to supply duck meat.If you open a chain store, Uncle Zhan can take a large share in return.

Uncle Zhan said with a smile: "Anyway, Uncle will give you whatever you want. When the time comes, bring our duck meat to the judges of your school and let them taste it. You will definitely get No.1."

Li Xiaomo was moved by the naive Uncle Zhan. At this moment, if Uncle Zhan was in front of his eyes, he would bravely go up and hug Uncle Zhan, and kiss Uncle Zhan hard on the face.

When Mr. Xue heard about the idea of ​​Li Xiaomo's team, he was a little skeptical about the plan at first.But Li Xiaomo let Teacher Xue taste the duck meat he had prepared.Teacher Xue was immediately captured by the food, and he was full of praise.Li Xiaomo told Mr. Xue that the salted water duck has a short production cycle and is easy to transport, which is very suitable for combining with e-commerce.Judging from the rapid sales growth of his online store during this period of time, this is an idea worthy of in-depth scrutiny.Teacher Xue smiled and patted Li Xiaomo on the head, admiring him and the team members.

☆, 30. The fragile world begins to shatter in the intimidation

The small universes have put in a lot of effort for this competition.Everyone works in a division of labor, and the team members in charge of management need to coordinate the overall situation and design chain store expansion strategies; those in charge of marketing need to design the company's LOGO, slogans, and formulate publicity strategies; the team members in charge of quality control concentrate on studying how to produce, package, and deliver more safely and standardizedly , storage and storage; students in charge of finance need to make budget financial statements.In addition to attending classes, everyone spends time in the library, reading books, checking information on the Internet, and going to the water bar for meetings at night.This kind of busyness makes everyone painful and happy.But in fact, in this team, the hardest person is Mr. Xue.Teacher Xue did this completely voluntarily.He has heavy teaching and scientific research tasks every week, but he still takes time out of his busy schedule to help his students.Teacher Xue will insist on attending the water bar meeting every night, and give everyone guidance from a professional point of view.If the problem encountered is beyond the scope of his ability, Teacher Xue will also invite a teacher with a good relationship to help.

During this period of getting along, Li Xiaomo admired Teacher Xue's demeanor even more.Mr. Xue is dedicated, serious and professional in doing things, but he also respects other people's opinions.He is humorous and elegant, which is always reflected in his gestures.Teacher Xue is also very generous. For example, the dinner before the meeting was all invited by Teacher Xue. Several times, he even drove directly to take everyone to a restaurant outside the school to replenish nutrition.

As the captain, Li Xiaomo communicated more frequently with Mr. Xue.In addition to hanging out with everyone at night, if you have a problem during the day, you will also find Teacher Xue for advice.On the beautiful campus, you can often see this pair of teachers and students walking together, talking, laughing, and discussing issues.The hard work paid off, and with the joint efforts of everyone, the planning plan of the "Small Universe" team passed the preliminary review, and finally won No.5 in the school-level evaluation.According to regulations, the top eight of the whole school can participate in the provincial competition, and there will be a social investment link in the provincial competition.The fruit of victory is always sweet, and people who taste the delicious food are intoxicated in the autumn harvest.Teacher Xue is like a loving father, holding the outstanding children tightly in his arms.On the night when the award was presented, Li Xiaomo did not forget Uncle Zhan, and happily called him with the award letter to announce the good news.

In order to celebrate the award and further fight for the provincial competition, Mr. Xue invited everyone to eat seafood and sing in the evening.The place to eat is specially chosen in a seaside hotel, the tables are placed in the open air, separated by a green lawn, is the quiet sea.The night was hazy, the sea breeze was blowing slowly, and the waves lapped the beach quietly.The sky is dark green, on the other side of the bay, the lights of the city are scattered, just like a dream I once had.In the dream world, food and wine, everyone toasted to celebrate, toasting and laughing, making this realistic coast immediately enviable to gods.Li Xiaomo picked up the red wine, walked over, and toasted the smiling Teacher Xue. The two crystal clear glasses collided crisply, and his heart seemed to fly with lightness.Li Xiaomo, who was slightly drunk, patted Teacher Xue on the shoulder lightly, then reached out and hugged Teacher Xue.In his heart, Mr. Xue has now completely become his friend, an amiable and lovely friend, a friend who cares about him meticulously.He has indescribable admiration and appreciation for Mr. Xue.The heart directs the action, and Li Xiaomo expressed his sincere respect with a hug.Teacher Xue also hugged Li Xiaomo tightly in his arms, and gently touched his chin on his head.Li Xiaomo felt a little out of breath, broke free from his embrace, smiled foolishly, and returned to his seat.

In the evening at KTV, Li Xiaomo first sang Eason Chan's "The Best Lost Friend" to everyone, which won everyone's applause.He sings very well, and he likes to sing Eason Chan's songs the most.Catalyzed by Lin Xi and Huang Weiwen's ever-changing lyrics, Li Xiaomo's emotions were expressed smoothly.Teacher Xue especially appreciated Li Xiaomo's singing.When he sang "The Lonely Patient", in the private room intertwined with light and shadow, he saw the twinkling tears in Teacher Xue's eyes in the dark corner.

However, life cannot treat you favorably just because you are kind in your heart. The nature of life is cruel.

When preparing for the next provincial competition, Li Xiaomo's condition became worse and worse, because he was trapped by many anonymous threatening and insulting text messages that suddenly came every day.

"Li Xiaomo, I curse you to hell."

"Li Xiaomo, seeing that you usually pretend to be innocent, it turns out that you are also a little gay."

"Li Xiaomo, it's fine if you like men, but how can you seduce other men's men. I'm going to kill you"

Text messages like this are bombarded every day.Li Xiaomo had no idea what happened.At the beginning, he thought that others must have made a mistake.But after thinking about it, this person knows his name, so he should know him.But Li Xiaomo never thought of himself as gay, let alone seduce anyone.This personal attack pained him.Just like a hammer smashing glass, his fragile world was suddenly broken, and all the ignorance and even the contradictions that could be deliberately avoided were poured out.He added the unknown number to the blacklist, but it would be changed to another number the next day.Like a nightmare, Li Xiaomo completely collapsed.He didn't know who he had offended, and was tormented by a deep fear in his heart.

☆, 31. The door has been opened, and I saw another soul from the dark world

The sleepy Li Xiaomo attended the meeting of "Small Universe", sat there physically, but didn't listen to anything.After the meeting, he excused himself and walked out of the campus alone.Wandering back and forth along the road by the beach.The body felt so irritated by the hot and humid sea breeze.Rows of street lamps were dimly lit, and the figure was sometimes drawn very long, and sometimes distorted into a black spot.Just like Li Xiaomo's wrenching mood at the moment.

Am I gay?When this question came to Li Xiaomo's mind, his body, which was still hot just now, couldn't help shivering.Looking up, standing under the vast starry sky, the mysterious and dark unknown world must exist, and now it is extending a welcome hand to Li Xiaomo.Entering this world must answer a question: Do you love men?Or have you ever loved a man?But what is love? To love someone means that when you meet him, you become very low, down to the dust, but your heart is happy.And a flower blooms there to add color to his world.You'll even give him a spring if he needs it.To be loved by someone means that you know that there is always someone waiting for you in this world, no matter when, no matter where you are, anyway, you know that there is always such a person.If two people are lucky enough to fall in love with each other, the feeling is like meeting the one you want to meet among thousands of people. One step late, just happened to catch up, there is nothing else to say, but to ask softly: "Oh, are you here too?" If measured by these standards, Li Xiaomo has love, even if his love still lingers at the first level.Who does he love?He loves a middle-aged man named Zhan Jiaqiang.

Li Xiaomo's feelings for Uncle Zhan, from meeting to getting along, everything is so natural, Li Xiaomo just wants to pay more for this man, hoping that he can become happy because of his existence.He has no desire to possess, but it gives him a lot of freedom.Li Xiaomo thinks about Uncle Zhan every day, when he eats, when he walks, and when he sleeps.As long as he can hear Uncle Zhan's voice, he feels fulfilled.Because of the good mood every day, the beautiful coastline in front of him has given him romantic feelings countless times.But tonight, all the bright scenery is gray.He admits that he loves this man, then Li Xiaomo admits that he is gay, but this title is too heavy, because he understands what this word means.At this moment, the door of the dark world creaked open, and Li Xiaomo suddenly felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry, because he saw his other soul soaked in the darkness.The one with his hands clasped, with a sad expression and confused eyes, was waiting for himself.Li Xiaomo felt so heavy that he couldn't move his feet.It turned out that the loneliness that I had suddenly sprouted for no reason was the soul possessed by this world.But Li Xiaomo couldn't turn his head back, he just stood at the cold doorway, holding on to the rusty door frame, his thin body trembling slightly.

Two weeks later, the provincial competitions began.Li Xiaomo has been harassed by threatening text messages all this time, and he still doesn't know the murderer behind these text messages.Sometimes he would have the illusion that it was from Uncle Zhan's family.Li Xiaomo actually doesn't care about slander, because what he said is nothing but nothing.What he was afraid of was a word that kept buzzing like a magic spell in the text message: GAY.So much so that every time he called Uncle Zhan, he would panic in his heart, like a half-hanging glass by the table, trembling and about to fall and break.But thinking of Uncle Zhan's family being so kind to him, he denied the inference.When they came to the provincial capital, when the competition was about to start, Uncle Zhan and Auntie called to encourage Li Xiaomo.

Teacher Xue and the team members found that during this time, Li Xiaomo's state was a little bit wrong, every time he ate very little, he was very thin, and his cheeks were sunken.Everyone asked about it, but Li Xiaomo just used being too tired as an excuse.When you think about it, you think it is the same.Li Xiaomo is the team leader. In this team, he has paid the most and endured a lot of pressure. At the same time, he has to deal with his own studies and the business of the online store. The hard work is definitely beyond the comprehension of others.These people around him feel sorry for Li Xiaomo.He took the initiative to bear a lot for Li Xiaomo, and Teacher Xue forced Li Xiaomo to rest for a day.But the fatigue in Li Xiaomo's heart cannot be resolved by taking a day off.

When standing on the demonstration stage, everyone wore neat formal attire, divided labor and collaborated to give speeches, and showed their entrepreneurial designs.The team members really cut the salted duck into small pieces as Uncle Zhan said, and asked the judges to taste it.The judges nodded in approval.But Li Xiaomo's state is obviously not right, his face is pale, dizzy, and his stomach is boiling like a boil, rolling non-stop.Li Xiaomo was the last one to give a speech. He resisted the dizziness and explained clearly what he was responsible for.In the air-conditioned hall, big grains rolled down from Li Xiaomo's head
