God said I would meet you

Lin Jinyu didn't know what Zhang Xinli's solution was, he was skeptical... because he also made such a vow last time, but in the end he didn't do it.

Zhang Xinli was not as eager to convince him with words as before, Lin Ye said that was useless.

At night, Zhang's father and Zhang Xinhe slept in Zhou Hui's room before, and Zhang Xinli "had no choice" to continue to squeeze with Lin Jinyu.

The New Year's Eve of the family reunion passed peacefully. They didn't have any relatives in the local area. Naturally, they couldn't talk about going to anyone's house to pay New Year's greetings. On the first few days, thinking that the family would rarely come over, Lin Jinyu proposed to take Dad Zhang and Zhang Xinhe out for a stroll Shopping, but Zhang's father is not willing.

"Hey, how old am I, what else do I need to go shopping, just go three of you, bring letters and see the world, buy some special products, or take them home as gifts, don't worry about me, just stay at home .”

"Then dad, you are watching TV at home. There are drinks in the refrigerator and wine on the table."

"Is that okay?" Lin Jinyu put on shoes with Zhang Xinhe at the door, and when Zhang Xinli came over, he said, "Would you be too negligent?"

I don’t know if it’s always like this when I meet my parents for the first time. Daughter-in-law and son-in-law always act more caring than their own sons and daughters. They put green onions in their pig’s noses to pretend to be elephants. Zhang Xinli said, “No.”

He didn't bother to force his father, because he knew that his father was not a trendy person. Compared with wandering around the city, his father preferred an earthen house with an earthen stove, a kang fire pit, and the flames of firewood crackling smoked his face. liquor.

The real son said so, Lin Jinyu didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she packed up with Zhang Xinhe, opened the door and went out into the street.

……

As always, there is heavy snow, and there is rarely no snow in winter in the north. Unlike Shanghai, it is rainy and rainy, but there is no real snow.Ever since she came here to go to school, Lin Jinyu felt like she had read all the snow she had done for decades.

"Do you want to go shopping?" Zhang Xinli greeted his cousin in the cold wind: "We will take you there. Do you want to eat or play?"

"I think about it in my heart, but..." Zhang Xinhe had never been to the north, and he was shivering under the snowy wind at the moment: "It's cold...it's too cold! I want to go back to the house."

"The latitude is high, that's how it is," Lin Jinyu said, "The conditions in your hometown are so poor that you have come here. Can't you bear the cold?"

"That's different," Zhang Xinhe said seriously: "Now that I have experienced the heating in a big city, it will be extraordinarily cold when I go out."

It's really the same reason, after getting a better one, you can't go back to the previous mentality.Love is the same, or rather, love is more so.

"Then take a taxi there," Lin Jinyu comforted him, "The shopping mall is warm."

Zhang Xinhe has just graduated from junior college. In the eyes of him who is about to graduate now, he is a little brother, and he is also the cousin of his ex-boyfriend. He feels that he should take care of him more, so he has been paying attention to his thoughts all the way, and asked him Where do you want to go, what do you want to buy and eat.

There is a row of big-name cosmetics counters at the entrance of the big shopping mall. Lin Jinyu and Zhang Xinli don’t put on makeup, at most go to the back to buy some skin care products or something. They have never stopped here. Zhang Xinhe stretched his neck restrainedly to look at his soles as if they were covered with glue.

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Xinli asked, "It's cosmetics."

Zhang Xinhe immediately retracted his neck, and said vaguely: "Well, I know, I... am a little curious, the bottles and jars are very beautiful."

Lin Jinyu vaguely felt strange: what is there to be curious about cosmetics? Although he is a child in the mountains, he is also studying in the city, so it shouldn't be so.

It seems that Zhang Xinhe really has a lot of things he wants to buy, besides what Zhang’s father told him to buy, there are a lot of things. The three of them walked around for a while, and Zhang Xinli looked at his cousin shopping basket, suddenly said: "Why are you buying women's scarves?"

In the small shopping basket, a crimson plaid scarf was quietly lying behind a pile of specialty foods, with "xx women's scarf" clearly printed on the label.

"Ah, it's just a scarf. Brother, why do you..." Zhang Xinhe didn't expect his brother's eyes to be so good, and wanted to quibble a few words, but Zhang Xinli said, "I saw the words on it."

"Word..." Zhang Xinhe said, "Ah, I didn't see it, I thought it was a man's style!"

Lin Jinyu, a bystander, stood aside and said to himself: These two brothers are the same, they won't lie.

The weird feeling hit again, Zhang Ma is a woman who can't dress up and has no sense of presence, and she is already old, such a delicate scarf is obviously not suitable for her, and besides Zhang Ma, there is no one in their family. For any immediate female relative, it is very strange for Zhang Xinhe to buy a women's scarf.

"You think this scarf is for men?" Zhang Xinli's eyes became very strange, so no normal person would think that this is a men's scarf, okay?

"Uh...um...hahaha." Zhang Xinhe laughed awkwardly.

"Tell the truth," the mall was decorated with lights and festoons, with red ribbons fluttering in the wind, Zhang Xinli and Lin Jinyu stopped, and no one moved forward: "Who did you buy it for?"

"..."

Goethe said: "Which girl does not cherish spring, which boy does not fall in love." Zhang Xinhe has not long been enlightened in this aspect, and he is still young, he hesitated for a while, seeing that he couldn't hide it, so he had to say everything.

Lin Jinyu folded her arms and stood side by side with Zhang Xinli, like a high wall built side by side, thinking: Good guy, it really is!

How time flies, that little skinny monkey from back then is now admitted to a junior college, and has also learned to flirt with female classmates at the same level?Pretty cool!

"Shhhhhhh!" Zhang Xinhe looked at his brother with a bitter face, and said, "Dad won't let me talk, saying that I was finally admitted to repeat the exam, and I paid so much tuition fees, falling in love will affect my studies, and said that I graduated from college. Good girl, you have to help me keep a secret! Please brother!"

If I had known why today, why did you rush to buy that scarf at this time.

Looking at his pitiful and cute expression, Lin Jinyu couldn't help but think of that Spring Festival, when she casually put her phone on the sofa to charge it, only to see the picture of the message sent by Zhang Xinli by her little cousin. They are all filled with love, and they don't know what to be careful about.

"Keeping a secret?" Zhang Xinli wasn't sure what the nature of the matter was. He had grown up watching Zhang Xinhe, so he always had the illusion that he was still young: "Actually, what Dad said made sense."

"Well, it makes sense, but how can this kind of thing be controlled by humans!" Zhang Xinhe was so anxious that he almost hugged his thigh: "I can't break up with her...she is really good, there is no girl like her." she."

Zhang Xinli said, "But..."

The two chattered for a long time, but Lin Jinyu couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Okay, okay, the male college is getting married, and this matter can't be controlled. It's just a relationship, and it's not a matter of principle. You let him watch it for himself." Do it, don't let it go."

"But Dad is right," Zhang Xinli said, "He's still young, maybe it's better to watch him slowly after graduation, and there will be more suitable ones."

"Why, fall in love as long as you fall in love, and there is no limit to only one time, experience is good, what is appropriate to ask for, do you still need the words of parents and matchmakers?" Lin Jinyu looked at him, raised his eyebrows and said: "Then you also Take it easy after graduation, otherwise it will affect your studies.”

Zhang Xinli immediately stopped talking.

"Brother Lin! I love you so much!" Zhang Xinhe almost wanted to rush up to hug him and kiss him—if he really did, the brother next to him would undoubtedly slap him on the ground: "You are the one My dear brother!"

"..." Lin Jinyu said, "It's not necessary."

"Great, I finally said it, it's much more comfortable!" Zhang Xinhe breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt refreshed: "I can choose things for my girlfriend in a fair and honest manner!"

Lin Jinyu felt a little bit amused when she saw it. It turned out that regardless of whether she was gay or straight, secretly making love was an uncomfortable thing.

"You buy less," Lin Jinyu told Zhang Xinli before. He was going to pay for this purchase, as a gift for his father and a red envelope for his brother. Thank them for looking at Zhang Xinli while they were watching him. Zhang Xinli then He said to Zhang Xinhe: "Jinyu told me privately before that he will treat you this time as a red envelope for you."

These days, Lin Jinyu's financial pressure has increased, because there are suddenly two people to support. Although Zhang Xinli sometimes takes the initiative to bear some daily expenses, such as grocery shopping, Lin Jinyu is still the one who takes the lead.

"I saved some pocket money myself, it should be enough," Zhang Xinhe held back for a long time, and now that the secret was made public, he simply let himself go: "It's hard to come to a big city, I just saw there is one over there that we don't have She mentioned it once about the cosmetics counter of the famous brand of the brand… Then what, brother, why don’t you go and buy the things you want to buy first, I’ll go there and have a look, and I’ll meet you later! It’s settled!”

Girls in love get silly, and so do boys in love, no wonder he was poking around there just now.This brother Zhang Xinli hasn't said whether he agrees or disagrees. Zhang Xinhe has been begging and thanking for a while, and has made a unilateral decision.

"Remember!" He walked away in a swipe, turned back and walked backwards and said to them: "This is my little secret! Be sure to help me keep it!"

After speaking, he rode away, leaving Lin Jinyu and Zhang Xinli in place, while a string of squawking, speechless crows flew over their heads.

"..." Lin Jinyu sighed: "It's really a succession of people, Lalong and him, those children in the past have grown up."

"That's right," Zhang Xinli said, "Who was chatting with his classmates that day, and kept saying that he was getting old."

The vacation is not over yet, and the teacher still occasionally asks the students to help, and as long as Lin Jinyu goes, Zhang Xinli will definitely pick him up at the end of the day, no matter what time it is, the students who are also helping in the office have automatically sent Zhang Xinli Lin Jinyu was determined to be Lin Jinyu's irresistible current boyfriend, and Lin Jinyu didn't bother to explain.

"Who is that?" Lin Jinyu squinted at him: "No name? What else is it? I'm only 23, and I'm very young. If I say I'm old, I'm self-effacing. Why, you think I'm old, too. A small 0 at [-] or [-]?"

"You don't have to worry about 1 or [-]," Zhang Xinli said, "I hope I'm already old..."

He said: "If we are old now, will you agree to be with me right away because you don't have a few days to live?"

This can also be a wishful thinking... Lin Jinyu turned to look at him, and Zhang Xinli looked extremely serious, as if he was really waiting for his answer.

"You are too stupid," Lin Jinyu said, "You don't want to be young, I would rather fast forward to become an old man, just to be with another old man."

Zhang Xinli said, "I don't care."

The flow of people around was endless, and those thousands of people suddenly disappeared from Lin Jinyu's consciousness, leaving only the articulate "I don't care" in his world.

The bright red paper lanterns above their heads and the New Year's slogans were full of joy. Lin Jinyu and Zhang Xinli looked at each other silently for a long time amidst the eye-catching New Year's red.

"...Oh, then I don't agree either," Lin Jinyu folded his arms, put his shoulders on his shoulders, and said in a tone as if a little emperor bestowed a favor on his general: "At most, I reluctantly agree to go to the Spring Festival shopping mall alone with the old man."
