my kind of person

After solving the last question on the math simulation paper, Zhou Yao let out a sigh of relief, and shook his hand that was pressing on the full page of draft paper.

Xiao Yi did it faster than him, and he had already finished correcting the answers at this time. Today's set of papers is relatively simple for him, and it is basically used to adjust his mentality.

On Sunday morning, both Xiao Yi and Zhou Yao would come to the classroom to do papers regularly, and after Zhou Yao finished correcting, he asked Xiao Yi, "What do you want to eat later?"

"My brother and I are going to have dinner with my aunt and the others later." Xiao Yi said, "Go first."

When Zhou Yao heard this, he grinned: "Hey, are you going to hold a board meeting?"

Xiao Yi's aunt, Xiao Wanning, is one of Ancai's major shareholders and holds a high-level position in the school.The only people who knew about it were Xiao Yi's teacher, Xiao Yuqi, and a handful of Xiao Yi's friends.When the two brothers decided to study in Ancai, it was the consideration of their family and their aunt's family.

Xiao Yi has long been used to Zhou Yao's casual teasing, and after saying goodbye to him, he packed up his things and prepared to leave school. There was no class on the weekend of the second day of junior high school, and Xiao Yuqi would go home every week, and go directly from home to the restaurant that his aunt had ordered.

Xiao Wanning's car was waiting at the school gate. Xiao Yi got in the car and said hello to his aunt.

Xiao Wanning is not yet 40 years old, has an elegant temperament, and is capable and straightforward in dealing with people. Since the two brothers were young, they have often met with them. The two families often walk around and have a very close relationship.

Dinner is booked at a well-known Cantonese-style claypot rice restaurant. It is located in the old town. It is an old restaurant that has been open for more than ten years. Even though the location is a bit remote, it can be full of customers every meal time.

The only inconvenient thing about the restaurant is that it is a bit far from the parking lot, and you have to walk for a while after parking your car.

There are some old residential buildings nearby, and some houses have vines that have climbed half of the walls.Xiao Yi's family lives close to the business district of the main city, and there is a lot of traffic every day. It is almost impossible to see such a quiet and age-like scene. Every time he comes, he will take a few more glances.

Before reaching the door of the restaurant, Xiao Yi heard brisk pattering footsteps from a long distance, a three-year-old girl with shoulder-length hair happily ran over and hugged Xiao Yi's leg, tender and excited Shout big brother.

"This child hasn't seen you for two months, so I miss you." Xiao Wanning looked at her little daughter and smiled, "I've been nagging since last night."

The little cousin’s nickname is Youyou, and because the two families often move around, they have always been very close to Xiao Yi. Before he could walk, Xiao Yi often hugged her. After he could walk, he would follow Xiao Yi as soon as he saw her. run behind.

At that time, Xiao Yuqi hadn't graduated from elementary school, and he was quite mischievous. He even got jealous because Xiao Yi always accompanied his sister and couldn't play with him. disappear.

Xiao Yi hugged Youyou up, and Youyou giggled happily, rubbing his arms around Xiao Yi's neck.

After the meal, the two adults sat together and chatted. Naturally, they couldn't escape the topic of studying for the exam. Xiao Yi's grades were good, needless to say, so most of the conversation turned to Xiao Yuqi.Xiao Yuqi has a big heart, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, every time he pats his chest and promises that he will definitely learn from his brother.

Youyou couldn't sit still, and began to think of going outside to play, and called Xiao Yi to take her out in a childish voice.Xiao Yi didn't care, saying that he could take a walk by the way.

Handing Youyou to Xiao Yi, Xiao Wanning had nothing to worry about, but she was quite helpless with her daughter's restlessness, and said to Xiao Yi: "Okay, then Xiaoyi, you can take Youyou to this street for ten minutes or so. Don't go far. Youyou, don't pester brother for too long, brother will go back to study later. "

Xiao Yi agreed, took Youyou's little hand and went out the door.

The air in the evening is slightly humid but very fresh, making it a good time for a leisurely walk.There are not many pedestrians on this street, and there are old buildings with gray and white walls on both sides. Most of the buildings do not exceed five floors, and you can see a large unobstructed sunset glow when you look up.

Six to seventy meters ahead of this street, you will reach the intersection with another road. That road is called Linshui Road. It is even narrower from a distance, and because the ginkgo trees on both sides of the road are luxuriant, the road looks like It is darker than other places.

The leaves of the ginkgo tree are very special, and Youyou enthusiastically said that she wanted the leaves, so Xiao Yi found a big one for her, and Youyou happily held it in his hand and shook it.

After playing for a while, Youyou wanted to be hugged by Xiao Yi, so Xiao Yi bent down and picked her up, let her sit in his arms, and walked back from the other side of the street.

An unremarkable barber shop opened not far away, the decoration is still relatively old-fashioned, a small blackboard full of package discounts and various hairstyle posters are hung on the glass door.

One of the model posters caught Xiao Yi's attention at once. He fixed his feet and took a closer look, only to realize that the model on the poster was none other than Xie Zixin.

It was still the very soft light milk tea hair, Xie Zixin turned his face slightly, did not look at the camera, but his calm expression was very soft, and his delicate appearance was natural.The poster looks like it was shot on the spot, and the patterns on the corners and corners are not professional, but this photo taken casually is really good, like the refined pictures in those pictorials.

Probably because Xiao Yi was interested in the poster pasted on the glass door, the waiter in the barber shop greeted him directly, and enthusiastically asked the handsome guy if he wanted to have his hair done.

Xiao Yi: "No, I'm sorry, I'll just take a look, I know the person in this poster."

The store is not big, and what was said outside could be heard clearly inside. When the proprietress sitting behind the counter heard it, she raised her head in surprise, looked Xiao Yi up and down, and said pleasantly: "Little handsome guy, are you Xiaoxin's friend? "

Xiao Yi paused: "Did you say Xie Zixin?"

"That's right." The proprietress smiled, "Since I'm Xiaoxin's friend, I can get a discount on washing and cutting my hair."

It seems that the proprietress and Xie Zixin are acquaintances, and they are so enthusiastic. Xiao Yi can't bear to say something disappointing like "I'm not his friend", but just said: "Thank you, proprietress, no need." A little curious: "This poster..."

"It's Xiaoxin's hair done here during the Chinese New Year. It looks good, right? It's really better than any online model. After posting it, it attracts young people like you. I have made four or five of the same style in the shop." The proprietress Said, "Xiaoxin comes to the store every day to deliver meals. She hasn't come yet. It should be here soon. Would you like to come in and have a sit? It doesn't matter if you don't wash your hair. I'll pour you a glass of water. Oh, this little girl The girl is really cute, with big sparkling eyes."

Xiao Yi was surprised, and suddenly recalled the last time he met Xie Zixin in that skewer shop.

It turned out that he was really delivering food part-time, and he did it every day.

Seeing that Youyou in Xiao Yi's arms is cute, the proprietress couldn't help bending over to tease her. Youyou is not afraid of strangers, with a smile on her face, the proprietress also followed suit.

Xiao Yi asked again: "Does he live near here?"

"Yeah, it's the old house in the back, it's very close." The landlady pointed at the old house behind Linshui Road, with a gentle smile on her face, "Xiaoxin doesn't like to talk, he has a bit of a temper. I'm lonely, I haven't seen him with friends before, so I feel relieved."

It is indeed difficult for people with his personality to make friends, and there are a lot of people who don't like him.

Xiao Yi had never had any grudges against this idea before, nor did he delve into it, but the words of the proprietress reminded him of the incomprehensible side of his alienation and indifference every time he met Xie Zixin. Curious arrogance, not disdainful contempt, not any obvious emotion.

Fragile.

This word popped into Xiao Yi's mind for no reason, making him stunned.

He thought about it carefully, but couldn't find any clues related to these two words. Could a person like Xie Zixin be vulnerable?

Xiao Yi was tall and handsome, and the proprietress liked it more and more. She asked curiously, "Little handsome guy, which school do you go to? Do you go to the same school as Xiao Xin?"

Xiao Yi: "No, I'm from Ancai Experimental Middle School."

The proprietress opened her mouth in surprise. She knew that Xie Zixin was studying in a vocational high school. She thought that if he made friends, he probably had more classmates in this school. She didn't expect that the boy in front of her was actually a student of An Cai.

Ancai is a famous school nearby. They have good teachers and good students. Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups, and the students are the same.

In addition to being surprised, the landlady's expression gradually became a little more moved: "Xiaoxin is a very good child, and he deserves to make some good friends. He has always lived alone and has no family to take care of him. If he has no good friends, it will be much more It's hard."

Xiao Yi was stunned for a few seconds, and then said: "Yes."

The proprietress wanted to say something, but her eyes fell behind Xiao Yi, showing a smile: "Xiao Xin is here, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Yi turned around and saw Xie Zixin walking in with several big bags.

The weather is a little hot today, but Xie Zixin is still wearing the autumn long-sleeved school uniform, and there are some beads of sweat on his forehead after walking all the way back.He put the bag on the tea table beside him, then raised his head, stared at Xiao Yi who was holding the little girl for a few seconds, then said nothing, and looked away.

Xiao Yi was a little embarrassed, and inexplicably read the words "Why did I meet you again" from Xie Zixin's eyes that didn't reveal much emotion. Of course, this was all his own imagination.

Although they have indeed met several times, they are not acquaintances at all, and there is no topic to chat with. Xie Zixin's reaction is also normal. Xiao Yi only hopes that the proprietress will stop talking about the friend who made him feel at a loss.

But for some reason, what the proprietress said just now made his emotions a little complicated, as if something was blocked in his heart.

Fortunately, Xie Zixin didn't plan to stay, and planned to leave after paying the bill with the proprietress. The proprietress on the other side was still wondering why he didn't say hello to his good friend, so Xie Zixin lowered his eyes and prepared to open the door and leave.

However, Youyou in Xiao Yi's arms is probably the first time to see someone with such a wonderful hair color. He has been staring curiously with his big round eyes for a long time. When Xie Zixin passed by Xiao Yi, Youyou stretched out his small hand and He grabbed a strand of Xie Zixin's hair.

The child had strong hands, Xie Zixin was unprepared and snorted when he was caught.

Xiao Yi was taken aback by this active little ghost, and immediately held Youyou's hand, intending to save Xie Zixin's hair: "Youyou, be good, let go, you can't grab other people's hair, it's impolite."

Youyou blinked, curiously even lost the ginkgo leaf in his hand, and held on to that lock of light-colored hair.Xie Zixin subconsciously wanted to pull back his hair, but his fingertips touched Xiao Yi's warm back.

For a moment, Xie Zixin felt like being electrocuted, his fingers trembled, and he quickly retracted it.

Xiao Yi didn't pay attention to this episode that stirred up waves in Xie Zixin's heart. He finally took Youyou's hand away from Xie Zixin's hair, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, my younger sister is more restless."

Xie Zixin stretched out his hand silently to smooth the strand of hair that was tugged by the child. He met Youyou's clear and curious eyes, and was silent for a while. Finally, he reached into his pocket and took out a special-shaped gradient color candy. Delivered by the restaurant when packing dinner.

Xie Zixin handed the candy to Youyou.

Youyou's eyes lit up at once, and the colorful candy looked more like a toy she had never seen before than something to eat, and she grabbed it as soon as she stretched out her little hand.

At this moment, Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

As if a head of piercing cold water was poured from the top of Xie Zixin's head, he suddenly realized what he was doing.

In Xiao Yi's eyes, he is just an insignificant person who has said a few words. Maybe even strangers are better than him. How can he give sugar to Xiao Yi's sister?

Xie Zixin's arms tensed up. He wanted to apologize, but his throat was blocked by the attacking self-loathing. He must be crazy to give Xiao Yi's sister candy casually.

What would Xiao Yi say?Will he be angry?Will you warn your sister not to accept things from strangers?

Xie Zixin's face turned pale, he didn't know what to do, how to let Xiao Yi know that he didn't have any malicious intentions.

Xie Zixin said in a hoarse voice, "Yes..."

Xie Zixin's apology sounded at the same time as Xiao Yi's voice, his voice was relatively soft, and it was covered by Xiao Yi's voice as soon as he uttered a syllable.

Xiao Yi frowned and stared at Youyou, and said seriously: "Youyou, you have to say thank you for accepting things from others, and you just pulled this brother's hair and didn't even say sorry."

Youyou suddenly realized, and said to the dazed Xie Zixin, "Brother, I'm sorry, thank you for Tangtang."

"That's right." Xiao Yi held Youyou in his arms, "Be polite, you know?"

You nodded: "Got it!"
