straight to heaven

Although that night, Pei Yanlai said that I should move tomorrow, but the world of legal migrant workers will never say that it is planned.Whether it's negotiating with the landlord to cancel the lease, or cleaning up some unnecessary things to take away in advance, after processing according to the process, it will be next Friday.

On the same day, it is Xiaomi’s lunar birthday.

Before leaving get off work, he found me, Xie Yi and Xiaoxiao, and said that he wanted to invite the three of us to dinner to show the care he had given him since we met.

Unfortunately, Li Xiaoxiao was really in a hurry. Her college roommate resigned from her boss this morning, and was splashed with paint by her wicked former boss in the afternoon.She didn't say anything about the specific situation, and I couldn't figure it out, I just knew that she couldn't get away from supporting the sisters.

I wanted to refuse at first, but Xie Yi kicked me secretly, and Xie Yi and I looked at each other quickly, then changed our minds and said yes.

Xie Yi drove the car.When parking in the underground parking lot, Xiaomi went to find the reserved spot first, Xie Yi closed the car door, and stopped me: "The child's heart, you refused, I'm afraid he would think too much. Fortunately, brothers and sisters know you well... ...You have a cold face all day long and you are not warm to anyone, if I were Xiaomi, I would think you have a problem with me."

I don't need him to remind me of this, I know it well.

Not being good at expressing and being stingy with smiling faces is a natural problem. I have not been very popular since I was a child. It is hard not to say that there is no reason for this.

But people are different.When I was a teenager, I used to think it was a kind of "original sin", but looking back now, I don't need to squish myself into a different shape, and the ones who stay by my side will be true friends.

Now there are more new, old, and old... In short, it's not easy to describe the love partner.

"It doesn't mean that." I explained to him, "I'm moving tomorrow and I was going to pack my bags tonight."

"Moving?" Xie Yi nodded: "That's right, the place you lived before was too far away, and the subway took two hours to go back and forth every day, and I was tired watching it. Hey, where did you move to?"

"..." How do I answer this? I can't tell him that I live with my old classmate and new boss. I can only fool around and say: "I share a rent with a friend, the location is good."

Gossip is Xie Yi's nature, he said oh, he obviously wanted to ask more, I'm not good at lying, so I hurriedly interrupted: "Let's go, Xiaomi sent me the location."

Xie Yi just gave up.

Xiaomi ordered a lot of dishes, adhering to the principle of shameful waste, and walked out of the restaurant, the three of them were stunned.

The restaurant is not far from where I live, and it's still early, so I refused Xie Yi's kind offer to take me back, fearing that if I vomited on his car halfway, I would have to pay hundreds of dollars for the car wash, which wasn't worth it.

Surprisingly, Xiaomi said that his home was also nearby and wanted to walk back with me.

The evening wind in summer is hot and dry, even if you wear short sleeves, you still have to sweat.I took the flyer stuffed into my hand and used it as a fan, and handed one to Xiaomi.

He has a slight stutter, I am withdrawn, I don't like to make friends, and I am not a talkative person.

There was a long silence.

As a senior, I should be responsible for alleviating the atmosphere, think twice, or ask first.

"I've never asked, are you... are you physiological or psychological? You can say what you want, and if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't mention it."

I didn't speak clearly, but he quickly understood what I meant.

Xiaomi skipped a few times, without showing any embarrassment, and replied: "Actually, well, I can use both hands. I was left-handed when I was young, but, but my grandfather didn't understand this, so he forced me to correct it. That's it. I went to correct it, but the effect, um, is not ideal."

No wonder.He used scissors when he cut the material, he was left-handed at the time, I kind of remember that.

I nodded, knowing that it was a sensitive topic, so I stopped talking further.

Xiaomi unfolded the flyer, folded it in half, and then folded it in half again, and asked me, "Hmm...Brother Lin, can you stack trash cans?"

"No." I haven't heard of it.

Xiaomi folded the leaflet a few times, and with his dexterous hands, he folded out a small square box: "Our family's economic conditions are not very good, um, I remember when I was young, in order to save money on garbage bags, Mom and sister, um, will take me to collect leaflets together. When I grow up, I, when I have nothing to do, I will also stack and play, which is very decompressive."

I tried it, but unfortunately I'm too clumsy to figure out the front and back.

"Some time ago, I met a student in a bar who passed the postgraduate entrance examination and got into the School of Psychology of my alma mater." Xiaomi said suddenly: "He told me, if, um, if you feel depressed, you can use handmade or painting to release the pressure. "

Suddenly recalling the male college student who paid me for the drink at the bar on the night of New Year’s Eve, I subconsciously asked, “Your junior is from N University, right?”

Xiaomi was surprised: "Huh? Do you know each other?"

I also didn't expect the capital to be so small, "...a one-sided relationship."

Just happened to encounter a red light, and pedestrians were forced to wait in place.Xiaomi and I are law-abiding legal people, and we also stood on the side of the zebra crossing along with the crowd.

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?" I asked him.

Xiaomi faltered until the green light turned on, and then said slowly, "I, I just think Brother Lin, you are lonely."

"..."

I stop.

The glass door of the 24-hour convenience store was pushed open, familiar electronic music played, and employees in work clothes yelled "Welcome" while checking out the goods.

Xiaomi was a little nervous, and said: "My sister said, brother, you seldom smiled when you were in college, and you were always... well, not very happy, and you didn't have any close friends, so I thought, if you want , if you have anything to say, you can talk to me. Don't blame my sister for talking too much, yes, I insisted on asking. "

accident?

Very surprised.

I am slow, have a bad temper, not good at expressing, and have a gloomy and reticent personality. My native family largely determines my morbid hobbies and emotional preferences. Even when I first came into contact with Mi Xiaoshan, I was unspeakably jealous. Has a vague hostility towards him.

But this boy who just graduated from college, who has a similar name to me, is also clumsy with his tongue, and will never be able to speak well, but he is so sincere and clumsy, trying to express kindness to me.

If he had come to speak ill of me today, like He Weisi, or like my roommate, I wouldn't be as speechless as I am now.

After a long silence, I organized my words.

"Blame what you guys did." I said, "... I did have some things happen to me in college, but now I'm fine."

I emphasized it for the sake of solemnity: "It's never been better."

"...that's good." Hearing this, Xiaomi curled his mouth and said, "Brother Lin, my house is going to turn this way, then, then I'll go first, see you next week."

I nodded: "See you next week."

"That's right." Xiaomi turned around a few steps, and then stopped: "My mother, she said she thought of you, you bought flowers at our flower shop, she said you are very handsome, and would like to invite you to come home when you have time , um, sitter."

I froze for a moment, remembering the bunch of dark red roses I bought on the roadside one winter night.

"The flowers are very beautiful, I...we all like them very much." I solemnly said, "Thank you."

Thank you Xiaomi, thank you senior sister, thank you the owner of the flower shop—thank you this family.The energy of love is huge, and if I absorb a little bit, I can change from dry to full.
