Jiang Xuan lived in a small villa with a small garden. Unlike a high-rise apartment, there was no lobby for people to rest. It was a bit difficult for Lin Zimao to find a place to hide from the rain. He took the dripping wet Lin Zimao back home.
He dragged a box for Lin Zimao, while Lin Zimao dragged one himself plus a cat bag.
As soon as he entered the door and put down his luggage, Lin Zimao sneezed three times in succession.
Jiang Xuan went to the bathroom and brought him a dry towel and handed it to Lin Zimao. He thanked him and wiped his hair.
The wet clothes stuck to my body and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
It was rare for Jiang Xuan to take the initiative to speak: "You can find a place to hide."
Lin Zimao sneezed again, with a nasal sound: "There are too many things, I'm too lazy to drag them away."
It is really inconvenient to carry two suitcases and a cat bag on such a rainy day.
When Lin Zimao sent him a message, he was resistant and didn't think much about it. In fact, his home had a password, and if he had given him the password at that time, he wouldn't have been soaked like this. But he was not familiar with Lin Zimao and didn't know him, so he didn't think of giving him the password directly.
He himself had always used the iris and fingerprint modes and rarely used passwords. For a moment, he did not think of telling Lin Zimao, probably because he did not trust him in his heart.
Although today was their second meeting, they were still strangers who only knew each other's names.
Jiang Xuan told him his arrangement: "Your room is on the second floor, the first room on the right. You can go take a shower first."
His voice sounded calm, but Lin Zimao, who was sneezing, knew that this was the best arrangement. He went upstairs carrying the cat bag in one hand and a wet suitcase in the other.
Jiang Xuan looked at the water marks on the floor left by the wheels of the suitcase and turned on the household robot to clean it quickly.
After entering the room, Lin Zimao didn't have time to appreciate the layout of the room. He put out the pepper and salt first, and then went into the bathroom to take a shower. He now wanted to take off his wet clothes and pants quickly.
After taking a comfortable shower and changing into a T-shirt and knee-length shorts, he went downstairs, and Salt and Pepper followed him down. At this time, the household robot had already cleaned the first floor spotlessly.
When the man and the cat came down, Jiang Xuan saw gray and white cat hair falling wherever the pepper and salt went. The household robot had just swept in vain. He couldn't bear it anymore and asked Lin Zimao: "Can it not shed hair?"
Lin Zimao just wiped his hair casually without drying it. Now it was draped over his head. He looked a year younger than before, but he didn't look arrogant or humble. He replied, "I think you should ask biologists why the problem of cat hair loss has not been solved after thousands of years."
Jiang Xuan looked at Pepper Salt sniffing and rubbing everywhere. Wherever it went, a few hairs fell off. He said indifferently, "Do you really have to keep it?"
Lin Zimao affirmed: "Of course, it will never leave me. It only has me as its master. It will be wherever I am."
Since he said so, Jiang Xuan couldn't throw it away. It's not that he couldn't accept this cat. He could just turn on the household robot at a fixed time and place, and it could be remotely controlled at any time through the communicator. It could still solve the problem of hair shedding, but he had never thought of raising a pet in his private space.
Lin Zimao's arrival disrupted his regular life of nearly twenty years.
Lin Zimao sneezed twice more while Jiang Xuan was thinking about how to solve the cat hair problem.
Jiang Xuan turned around and poured him a cup of hot water, then took out a packet of cold medicine that could be drunk directly from the medical box: "Take it."
After doing all this, he sat on the single sofa and replied to the message sent by his mother. She asked Jiang Xuan and Lin Zimao whether they had moved in, and specifically reminded him not to forget to get the marriage certificate tomorrow.
Jiang Xuan replied with a "hmm" as usual.
Lin Zimao rubbed his nose and looked at Jiang Xuan, who had no intention of communicating with him. For the sake of his own health, he drank the cold medicine.
While Jiang Xuan was replying to the message, Jiaoyan had already jumped onto the sofa and was lying next to Lin Zimao. Lin Zimao was scratching its chin and the fat cat was purring. It showed no fear of the new and unfamiliar environment at all.
Jiang Xuan looked at the soft leather sofa that he had cleaned so clean and found it was covered in hair. He turned his head away and pretended not to see it.
The only sounds in the hall were the two people's breathing and the gurgling sound of salt and pepper.
The doorbell rang at this time, and Jiang Xuan was a little surprised who would come to his house at this time.
At the same time, Lin Zimao's communicator rang, and he told Jiang Xuan: "It's the automatic cat litter box I just ordered. It's arrived."
He stood up to pick up the package, and Pepper and Salt jumped off the sofa and ran to the door.
As soon as the door opened, a gust of damp water rushed towards him. The courier outside used two freight robots to move the automatic cat litter box into the hall. Lin Zimao signed for it and used his foot to hook back Pepper and Salt, who was eager to see the world outside.
"Salt and Pepper, don't run around, there's water outside."
Salt and Pepper meowed reluctantly and followed him around.
After thanking the courier, he closed the door and asked Jiang Xuan: "Where should I put the cat litter box?"
Jiang Xuan felt very uncomfortable. This was obviously his home, but Lin Zimao seemed very comfortable, and he seemed like a guest instead.
Of course, he hadn't thought about the problem of the cat litter box. Half an hour ago, he didn't know that Lin Zimao would bring a burden that would only shed hair, and that its things were no less than its owner's, thus occupying the owner's space.
He raised his chin: "Balcony."
Lin Zimao moved the automatic cat litter box over and poured the included cat litter into it. As soon as the power was turned on, Pepper Salt couldn't wait to get in. Jiang Xuan, who was standing by and watching Lin Zimao tinkering with it, heard its long hissing sound.
Lin Zimao happened to look up and exchanged glances with Jiang Xuan. He felt ashamed for Jiaoyan and explained, "It held its breath for a little too long today."
Jiang Xuan: “…Oh.”
The two of them didn't say a word last time, but today, as they were spending their first time together, things were relatively peaceful.
It was expected that Lin Zimao would move in half a month ago, and all daily necessities were prepared in double portions in advance. Jiang Xuan had no reason to kick Lin Zimao out, and his family education did not allow him to do such a disrespectful thing.
He poured himself a glass of water; his throat was a little dry; he had spoken more than his daily budget today.
After solving Jiaoyan’s physiological problem, Lin Zimao asked Jiang Xuan how to solve the lunch problem.
Jiang Xuan gave two options: "Nutrient solution or takeout."
"Let's order takeout. I want to eat noodles." The takeout business will never go out of trend. It will only become faster and more convenient.
Lin Zimao walked towards Jiang Xuan, who was sitting at the bar drinking water. When he got close to him, he found that he didn't seem that difficult to get along with. At least he didn't kick him out.
Jiang Xuan was sensitive to smells and immediately smelled the jasmine scent from the shower gel on his body.
Lin Zimao leaned aside, tilted his head and asked him with a smile: "What should I call you?"
Jiang Xuan put down the water cup: "Whatever." Then he turned and went upstairs, not wanting to say anything more.
Lin Zimao raised his voice and asked as he walked upstairs: "Senior? Or Jiang Xuan~~brother? Then why not just call him..."
Jiang Xuan almost slipped when he went upstairs, and didn't hear clearly what Lin Zimao asked and answered himself downstairs.
The takeaway arrived within half an hour. The noodles were packed separately. Lin Zimao ordered tomato and beef brisket noodles, Jiang Xuan ordered beef rice noodles. He also ordered two crispy flatbreads and a serving of cold cucumber salad.
Compared to the unworldly Jiang Xuan seen at the blind date dinner half a month ago, the current Jiang Xuan, who was eating rice noodles slowly, looked very down-to-earth.
Lin Zimao found it interesting, but because he was so hungry, he didn’t think too much about it and finished his noodles and pancakes first.
After eating, Jiang Xuan went back to the study upstairs to continue his own work. After Lin Zimao cleaned up the table, he carried his other remaining suitcase upstairs and began to pack his few luggage. He did not take any of the clothes that the Lin family had prepared for him.
When Lin Zimao finished packing his luggage, the rain outside had stopped. The ground was wet, and the rich scent of osmanthus covered the earthy smell.
Jiang Xuan was busy with something on the third floor and there was no sign of him coming down. It was almost time for dinner and Lin Zimao wanted to send him a message to ask him how to solve the problem.
Before the message was sent, Jiang Xuan changed his clothes and went downstairs.
He pointed to the door: "Are you going to give me the password directly or set up a fingerprint."
Jiang Xuan counted out a series of numbers: "20201108."
Lin Zimao leaned on the sofa bonelessly and responded: "Oh, you're going out?"
Jiang Xuan: “Yeah.”
Lin Zimao had no intention of prying into her privacy, so he stopped asking and sat on the sofa, using his communicator to order takeout online.
Jiang Xuan felt like he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that he had said too much today, so he simply saved his words.
He went out.
While waiting for the takeaway, he received a message from the counselor asking him to join the class group.
All students in their class are here today, and the counselors directly announce the relevant arrangements for tomorrow.
There will be a fifteen-day military training before school starts, and we will gather at the military training base tomorrow afternoon.
The military training for freshmen at Figg University is held directly at the school training base. As a school that occupies almost the size of a town, it is fully equipped. The signature feature of Figg University is the Mecha Academy, which is even more powerful than a military university. It is just a military training for freshmen, so there is no need to worry about not having enough for the freshmen to play.
Lin Zimao opened the military training regulations for freshmen and read through them one by one. There were a variety of projects, but they were enough to make the freshmen who had just been admitted to the mecha major ecstatic. They also had the opportunity to go to the mecha training ground and get close to the most advanced mechas, which was fascinating.
In times of war, mechas are necessities of war and weapons that can save humanity from disaster. Now only the first university in the alliance has the strong capital to allow students to experience this magical weapon.
After searching all the rumors about the Mecha Department of Feige University, Lin Zimao put his focus back on finding No. 108 Shanghai South Street. He didn't find it the last time he went out, and he also spent time looking for relevant information on the Internet a few days ago, but he didn't find any information about No. 108 Shanghai South Street. Today he changed to another social networking site to search, but still couldn't find it.
Perhaps the road was not originally called Shanghai South Street, but was renamed. The original Shanghai South Street may be in another area.
He searched for information about the area and found that it had not been demolished and rebuilt, only simply renovated.
Could it be that the information he got was inaccurate? But this was the address he bought from Wan Lao Si at a high price, and he never sold false information.
Finding a person who deliberately hides himself is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But he must find this person.
Lin Zimao sighed in disappointment. He decided to check out the school forum. After all, this was the school where he would be living for the next four years, so he had to understand the school's culture first.
As soon as I opened the homepage, I saw posts related to Jiang Xuan, which were marked with the hot tag. Gossip is always exciting.
The gossip in the post was initially about Jiang Xuan, but later on it turned into speculation about who the handsome boy standing next to him was.
Many people were crying about the fact that Jiang Xuan had a boyfriend. Soon, everyone knew that it was Cheng Chen, a freshman who was admitted to the Mecha Design Department with second place in the entrance exam. She was as pretty as she was in appearance and grades. Not only was she Jiang Xuan's childhood sweetheart, but she also followed him directly to the Mecha Design Department. It was really hard to be jealous of such a relationship!
Lin Zimao discovered two key words: mecha design department and childhood sweethearts.
I guess Jiang Xuan went to school this morning to bring his childhood sweetheart to report to the college
From the photos, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is really special.
In the photo, Cheng Chen was smiling happily and the two were having a great conversation.
Lin Zimao suddenly felt bored and simply closed the forum, then stretched out his limbs and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a dull face. He didn't come to his senses until Pepper and Salt jumped onto the bed and stepped on his belly. He exhaled, turning the flesh on his belly into abdominal muscles. Pepper and Salt felt uncomfortable stepping on them, so he stepped on the quilt instead. Lin Zimao suddenly pulled up the quilt and wrapped it inside.
"Salt and pepper, guess who I am?"
Pepper and Salt, who was covered in confusion, meowed loudly!
Lin Zimao sneezed along with the cat's meow.
Are you going to catch a cold
Jiang Xuan attended a small party tonight hosted by several friends to celebrate Cheng Chen's going to college. Cheng Chen would occupy the seat to his right most of the time, and many friends joked that he was Jiang Xuan's child bride. Cheng Chen never refuted, and always blushed. Instead, he would always look at Jiang Xuan. However, Jiang Xuan always seemed to have a cold face and didn't care about his friends' jokes at all.
Ji Chen, who had the best relationship with Jiang Xuan, clinked Jiang Xuan's wine glass and whispered, "I heard some gossip about your family."
Jiang Xuan took a sip of wine in response.
Jiang Xuan always had a blank expression on his face, and was cold and distant most of the time. Only close friends who had known him for many years could detect his subtle changes in emotions. Ji Chen saw that he was not in a very good mood today, but he still had to gossip about him.
Ji Chen asked him jokingly, "I heard that your family is going to form an alliance with the Lin family? Is it your clever cousin or your stupid cousin who is stubborn and stubborn?"
Jiang Xuan shook the wine glass, stared at the light brown liquid, and thought to himself that it was neither.
Ji Chen knew that Jiang Xuan was not a gossiper, and he did not expect him to "talk a lot" with him, so he just talked about his speculation: "Your cousin has now entered the R&D department of your Jiang's Mecha Manufacturing Company. At his age, he is the most suitable candidate for marriage. Your cousin's parents are smart and resourceful. If they want to plan for your cousin, they will definitely be willing to let him marry into the Lin family. Then there is the Lin family. Your cousin is male, and the only one who matches his age is Lin Zifeng, but they have never gotten along. However, Lin Zifeng's mother is a member of the Lu family, and she will definitely not watch her son become a tool for marriage. This road is not feasible. The second daughter of the Lin family is suitable. She is beautiful and upright, and is close in age to your cousin. It is also a good way to get engaged first and get married when she comes of age. Jiang Xuan, tell me if my analysis makes sense?"
Jiang Xuan took another sip of wine: "That makes sense." But it didn't make sense at all.
Ji Chen smiled with gossip in his eyes, "I'm looking forward to seeing your cousin and Lin Zifeng get married. They haven't gotten along since they were young. I wonder if they will fight."
Jiang Xuan was too lazy to respond to him. Who would have thought that the Lin family had a second son who was stranded on a garbage planet
Ji Chen asked him again: "Why does your family want to marry into the Lin family? I know the Lin family is short of funds. If the capital chain is broken, it will be divided up by others. Your family can just take over the Lin family directly. Isn't the marriage a bit of an overreaction?"
Jiang Xuan replied with four words: "Everyone takes what they need." He put down his wine glass, and Cheng Chen happened to walk over.
Cheng Chen smiled at them: "Brother Jiang Xuan, Brother Ji Chen."
Who here doesn’t know Cheng Chen’s little thoughts about Jiang Xuan
Cheng Chen's face was stained light pink, either because he was shy from being teased by everyone or because he drank alcohol. He looked a little smoky and looked very pitiful.
What flashed through Jiang Xuan's mind was Lin Zimao's face, which had turned pale due to the rain.
He looked at his watch: "I'm going back first."
Ji Chen, who was about to give up his seat, said: "It's only what time now, and you don't have a beautiful wife waiting for you at home, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Jiang Xuan said, "I have something to do tomorrow morning." There is no beautiful wife at home, but there is a guy who might get sick and a burden who will shed hair.
Cheng Chen's face stiffened as his butt just touched the sofa. He had prepared a lot of things to say tonight.
