God said I would meet you

That year, the food delivery industry was in the limelight, like a rising star, related news and advertisements flooded the sky, saying that this business can make money, you can do it if you have legs, and you can pay as much as you want for a single order. It seems that there is no risk, as long as A hard-working person can make a fortune, easily earning more than [-] yuan a month, and I envy all the office workers who can't be shaken and earn three to four thousand dead wages every month.

Zhang Xinli has a C2 driver's license and can ride an electric scooter. His work unit has a two- to three-hour lunch break at noon, which is the peak time for takeout.

He probably told Lin Jinyu about his plan, and Lin Jinyu nodded, expressing that he understood, without asking him why he suddenly had such an idea, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

……

a few days later.

"Lin Jinyu, who's that these days? Why don't you see anyone when it's time to eat?" At noon, Zhou Hui took the plate and looked for a seat with him in the cafeteria: "Are you lazy? We were taken to the administrative office at noon. He avoided all the times when he was working for free."

"Where is that?" Lin Jinyu glanced at the tables and tables of people, and he hadn't seen them for a long time. In fact, the cafeteria was full, and it wasn't that there were no seats for two people, but they were all shared seats. Although he tried his best to control it, he still felt annoyed when he saw people. Looking for an empty one.

"It's just you...boyfriend," Zhou Hui said furtively, looking around, "I'm afraid of being overheard."

"He," Lin Jinyu said, "find a way to make money."

The two turned around and around, and finally found a suitable seat. Lin Jinyu sat down, and swept away the peppers, broken bones and other dirty things on the table with a plate, not in a hurry to eat, but He took out a lunch box with a lid from nowhere, put it on the table, and began to put meat, shredded potatoes, and other vegetables that could be placed in the lunch box.

"?" Zhou Hui was a little dumbfounded: "No, what are you doing?"

"Take it back," Lin Jinyu said with a blank expression as the cafeteria can add more food, "It's reasonable and compliant."

Zhou Hui looked left and right, swallowed: "You are too embarrassing, I admire you."

Lin Jinyu was still expressionless, and wrote lightly: "Can the face be eaten?"

He didn't eat a single bite, picked up all the good food, and then went to the window to add more food. After the meat dishes were finished, only the vegetarian dishes were left. ?”

He was talking about a small man, Lin Jinyu didn't have much appetite, so he ate some casually, and said, "Is there any, I don't care."

"I think so," Zhou Hui said, "Before, the two of you didn't have any contact at all, and you didn't have the chance to see him a few times a week. Now I feel like I can see him all the time."

Zhou Hui usually walks with Lin Jinyu, acting as a light bulb or something, and he obviously feels that the frequency of seeing small people has increased recently.

"It's a coincidence." Lin Jinyu is currently in a state of being very insensitive to changes in the outside world. He put down his spoon and said, "Eat quickly, and go back after eating."

"You don't want to eat?" Zhou Hui looked at the dishes in front of him that moved a few chopsticks: "Why do you feel that something is wrong with you recently?"

"No, I'm fine," Lin Jinyu said, "Hurry up."

……

After two or three hours, whether it was long or not, Lin Jinyu returned to the office and did not take a nap. She just sat there staring at her watch, watching the hands move forward. The others drank water, ate snacks and yawned. People pay attention to him.

At [-]:[-], Lin Jinyu took his eyes off his watch, stood up, and walked to the corridor. At [-]:[-], Zhang Xinli appeared at the entrance of the corridor with his coat on and sweating.

When Lin Jinyu saw him, she didn't say a word, turned around and walked upstairs with the lunch box in her hand.Hot food was not allowed in the office, because the smell would disturb other people, Zhang Xinli followed behind him, and the two of them pushed open the iron gate and went up to the rooftop.

"Hurry up," Lin Jinyu opened the lid, put the rice on the wide square concrete wall at the edge of the roof, and said, "It's only 15 minutes."

Zhang Xinli lifted the hem of his clothes and wiped the sweat from his eyes, went over to pick up the chopsticks, and started eating without saying a word.

"How many orders did you deliver today?"

Zhang Xinli replied with a number: "Six."

Six bills are about 50 yuan, Lin Jinyu said: "It's hard work, but if it's too little, forget it, it's better to rest."

It's still cool now, and in another month, when the weather gets hotter, it's not worth running for two or three hours under the scorching sun at noon for 50 yuan.

"Because I'm not familiar with it," Zhang Xinli ate in two mouthfuls, and finished the meal in five minutes: "There will be more when it's cooked."

"?" Lin Jinyu thought he was unwilling to give up, and comforted herself, saying: "It's not that there is navigation, if you are too tired, just forget it, and it's not too bad."

Zhang Xinli didn't speak, just put the lid on the lunch box and shook his head.

Money is not easy to earn. Although the tempting news is overwhelming, you can only know the hardships of this industry if you experience it. Shanghai has countless old alleys with twists and turns and corners with no precise location, and the address is unclear. The single owner who asked too much was not familiar with the route at the beginning, and several newcomers who were with him were even fined and lost money.

Lin Jinyu didn't quite understand, all she knew was that it was hard work.

"Give it to me, I'll wash it later," he looked at Zhang Xinli's manly profile, took the lunch box from him, and threw a pack of tissues to him: "Turn on the air conditioner in the office, dry it before going in." .”

Otherwise, it is easy to catch a cold.

"I'm not here, what are you doing at noon?" Zhang Xinli unwrapped a tissue and asked him while wiping his neck and chin: "Reading and reviewing?"

"Yes." In fact, Lin Jinyu just stared at his watch for an hour or two after eating.

"If you read more during the day, you can go to bed early at night." There were no trash cans around, and Zhang Xinli squeezed the used dirty paper in his hands, thinking about going back and throwing it away: "Go to bed early tonight?"

Lin Jinyu replied, "Yes."

In fact, his entire evening was spent in the greasy sink and dish soap suds of the nightclub, with no time to read at all.There are still 10 minutes before the end of the lunch break, and the roof is ventilated. Lin Jinyu bent her hands and half-lyed on the protective wall, feeling the touch of the breeze blowing over her face.

A corner of the blue sky was exposed between tall buildings, and the spring sun was so dazzling. The doctor once told him to get more sun exposure and exercise, so Lin Jinyu said to himself in his heart: Let's get some sun exposure, so that his mood will be brighter.

... But it doesn't seem to be the case. No matter how warm the light shines on his body, it still can't dispel the cold. Sunshine, sky, flowers, and excitement all belong to others, and he feels that he is gray.

But Lin Jinyu still raised her head slightly, showing a peaceful and peaceful expression.

Zhang Xinli put his arms around his shoulders, basked in the sun with him, and said, "You're in a good mood?"

Lin Jinyu said, "Well, very good."

"That's fine," Zhang Xinli said, "Think in a better direction, or think about happy things, huh?"

Lin Jinyu used to think that depression was purely due to overthinking, being too glass-hearted, Lin Daiyu would cry and die, and she would be fine if she thought about it, but when she really fell into this gray vicious circle, he didn't Understand, just as some words are insincere, some things are really involuntary.

No matter how hard you try, it's useless.

"Good direction, winning the lottery?" Lin Jinyu joked, "You can buy one and try."

As for the "happy things"...he thought about it carefully, and counted all the memories he had. Lin Jinyu realized that the happiest time he could think of was actually the time when he spent the summer vacation in Liangshan that year. With the family, you don't know your heart when you are young, but love has quietly sprouted.

And the day when Zhang Xinli kissed him by the bonfire when they reunited.

Why can't those happiness be kept?

The sun was too glaring, Lin Jinyu squinted his eyes, Zhang Xinli was not good at talking, and he didn't know how to answer his jokes at this time, he just put Lin Jinyu's shoulders, sticking to him, standing side by side.

"I posted a few pairs of shoes that I don't wear online," Lin Jinyu looked into the distance, and Zhang Xinli looked at him: "I'll wait for the money to be transferred to you to pay the rent."

"?" Zhang Xinli asked in surprise, "What are you selling for?"

Lin Jinyu has never bought second-hand electronic products ranging from shoes to mobile phones, to skateboards, clothes, bags, computers, etc. I don't even know what the salted fish is for.

"I'm not a centipede. I only have one pair of feet. Why do I need so many shoes?" Lin Jinyu said casually, "It's better to sell them and pay the rent."

"Don't you like to wear it casually?" Zhang Xinli knew that he liked sneakers. Those shoes were all collected by Lin Jinyu himself. They were all famous brands, and they were basically bought in physical stores. They were 100% authentic. There are white, black, red and yellow, each pair with different outfits.

Lin Jinyu dangled one foot and said, "If you have something to pick, pick it... If you don't have to pick it, don't pick it."

What else can he do besides these things? Recently, Lin Jinyu started to hate himself a little bit. He went to a better school than Zhang Xinli, studied his favorite major, and has a Shanghai hukou... But it didn't seem to be of any use. trouble.

He is useless.

He had never felt this way before. He was obviously unique, full of vigor, never afraid, and never inferior.

There was a soft touch on his face, Lin Jinyu turned his head and saw Zhang Xinli's hand on his shoulder moved forward, and his fingertips caressed his side face.

"I'll buy it back for you later."

In the future, in the future, Lin Jinyu really wanted to know how long it would be, and he sincerely prayed that someone could tell him.

"Okay, don't be sensational." Now he can't feel the joy of being promised, and he doesn't know what expression to show, so he can only tease and change the subject: "In the future, it will not be enough to just buy shoes. I remember some people promised , give me a Ferrari."

"There is no 'certain'." Zhang Xinli approached, calling him to look at himself.

"?" Lin Jinyu turned her head to look at him, and just about to say don't lie, Zhang Xinli had already pressed his shoulder, turned her face, and pressed his lips against his in the blazing sun at noon.

"It's 'someone'."

... No matter how many times I have experienced it, the feeling of kissing is always wonderful. In the busy life, it seems that even hugging and kissing have become some kind of luxury. Lin Jinyu did not move or close his eyes. He stretched out his hand gently Paste Zhang Xinli's lower back, look at his drooping eyelids and slightly trembling eyelashes under the sunlight - when Zhang Xinli kisses him, his expression is always serious, serious and attentive, never frivolous.

It's so soft, soft and warm... Lin Jinyu thought: What the sun can't do, it seems that a kiss can do it.

At the stairway leading to the rooftop, the iron door was ajar, probably because they forgot to cover it back when they came up—Zhang Xinli didn’t remember very clearly, he should have closed it, but he didn’t seem to.
