In the whole Qingqiu old house, only one landline was installed in the living room. After the housekeeper received the call, he went to the study to look for it, and saw seventeen or eighteen cubs playing and rolling on the ground, surrounded by fragments of test papers like snow, covered with thick thick layer.
A group of elders pushed each other, and finally Grandma Fox picked up the receiver tremblingly: "That, Xiao Xing..."
At eight o'clock in the evening, the car stopped firmly at Jiang'an Bookstore.
Hu Meimei patted her son on the shoulder: "Now, mother, go and prove to Xiao Jing that you are really done this time."
"He's not a teacher, so there's nothing special to say." Young Master Ji snorted, and got off the car feeling exhausted, "I'm sleepy, go back to take a shower and sleep."
Of course Hu Meimei knew about her son's problems. When he was unhappy, depressed, depressed, didn't want to talk, or felt wronged, he always referred to it as sleepy.
Room 1301 was large with a bigger bathroom.
Ji Xingling threw himself in the bathtub, counting the bubbles boredly. Hu Meimei has recently been addicted to aromatherapy essential oils, and the male compatriots in the family have no choice but to succumb to the fragrance of roses in the bathtub, which soothes the nerves, and the more they soak, the more sleepy they become.
An hour later, Hu Meimei finally couldn't help herself, and knocked on the door outside: "Ji Xingling, did you fall asleep in the bathroom, Xiao Jing has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Ji Xingling sat up straight instantly: "Where are you waiting for me?"
Lin Jing, who was standing next to Hu Meimei: "...otherwise you can wash for a while, I'm not in a hurry."
There was a crisp "crash" sound from the bathroom, and I don't know which unlucky bottle killed the non-slip floor.
Hu Meimei was not surprised, and went to the kitchen to continue making small desserts. Ji Xingling wiped his hair dry, twisted open the door with one hand, and saw Lin Jing sitting behind the desk.
The young master protested: "Can you tell me in advance next time you come here, in case I'm too lazy to get dressed after taking a shower?"
"I was thinking that you might be tired and need to soak quietly for a while longer." Lin Jing turned his pen, "Okay, improve next time."
Ji Xingling sat by the bed: "What do you need from me?"
"Auntie asked me to come over." Lin Jing replied, "She said that your test paper was taken by your cousin to make a kennel. She was depressed and needed comfort."
Brother Xing was silent when he heard that.
My mother's reason is absolutely absolute.
"Then do you have any questions you can't ask me?" Lin Jing came with a computer.
"... Let's just do math, let's ask for the quadrant." Ji Xingling rubbed his nose, "Everything else is fine."
"Only this one?" Lin Jing enlarged the paper on the screen and said casually, "Then you are still very—"
Half of the conversation came to an abrupt end, and Ji Xingling waited for a long time without waiting for the next sentence, so he took the initiative to ask: "I'm still very strange?"
Lin Jing reminded: "You don't let me praise you."
"No, this kind of compliment can be properly praised." Ji Xingling dragged a chair and sat beside him, "I say that I won't allow the kind of embarrassing praise, so embarrassing, do you understand?"
"I don't understand." Lin Jing helped him write down the steps to solve the problem on a piece of paper, "Ji Xingling, I found that you are quite demanding."
"This is obviously a reasonable demand!" Ji Xingling put one hand on his shoulder and urged, "Hurry up and praise me!"
"No boasting."
"Lin Jing, why are you like this!"
"So you're going to complain to the Education Bureau again?"
"..."
"Have you remembered the format of the report letter?"
"You better shut up."
After a while, Hu Meimei brought in a tin of freshly baked biscuits. Lin Jing supported his head with one hand, and watched Ji Xingling copy homework while eating: "This is C, you copied it wrong."
"Copying homework and making two random mistakes is an international practice, do you know?" Brother Xing has rich experience in this field, "Otherwise it would be very wicked."
Lin Jing can't laugh or cry, you are quite professional.
The freshly baked soufflés had a rich aroma, Ji Xingling didn't eat much on the plane, his stomach was rumbling, so he also reached out to touch the biscuits. Their hands touched each other in the biscuit jar, Lin Jing didn't take it seriously, but Ji Xingling stared at him with interest for a long time.
"What are you looking at?"
"Aren't you a clean freak? I just copied my homework and didn't wash my hands."
Lin Jing paused, and put the biscuit back expressionlessly.
Ji Xingling:
"You really despise me?!"
"Um."
"Um, fart, I'm done taking a shower!"
"But your pencil case is dirty."
"No, you must eat!"
"I'm stuffed."
"Open your mouth!"
"Do you still want to copy your homework?"
"..."
In the kitchen, the oven dinged, and new snacks were baked.
The whole 1301 is full of sweet and milky fragrance.
Later, Lin Jing remembered another thing: "Are you free tomorrow? I would like to treat you to dinner. Thank you for the ticket to the musical."
"Okay, it just so happens that Lao Xu said that the shoes have arrived today." Ji Xingling was not polite, "Or that bullfrog?"
"Otherwise, save the bullfrog until next time, and I'll treat you to something else." The average person in Ganguo is only in his early 80s, but the tickets for "Fairy Village" have already been fired to 1300. Lin Jing doesn't want to take advantage of the other party too much, "You Do you like Japanese food or Western food, or there is also this restaurant for Chinese food.” He handed over his mobile phone, all of which were newly collected restaurants in the past few days, and the per capita price was barely worth the fare.
"I can do it, so let's go to this River, which is the closest." Ji Xingling casually pointed to a family, "I have an appointment with Yu Yizhou to play golf in the afternoon, do you want to go?"
"Uncle Liu invites me to dinner at noon tomorrow, and it may be too late." Lin Jing closed his pen cap, "Then let's meet at 5:30 at the dining place."
…
The River is located on the 20th floor of Jincheng Hotel. It is the most famous old-style western restaurant here, and it can show the sincerity of Mr. Xiaolin's hospitality. Coincidentally, the restaurant where Liu Daqi invited him to dinner at noon was also nearby, and there was the Provincial Library next to it, so it was easy to kill time.
Ji Xingling was five minutes late, and there was often traffic jam in the city center. He asked the driver to go home first, and came here by himself by subway. Young people always have the capital not to be afraid of the cold wave. He only wore a short-sleeved T-shirt in the drizzle, and the jacket was casually draped over his shoulders. His short hair was also covered with a little water mist, and he looked cold. Just cool.
"Ji Xingling."
"what?"
"If you keep concave shape, you will catch a cold."
"... I'm not cold!"
The two were fighting all the way, and the elevator lady was also infected by this vigorous happiness: "Excuse me, are you going to the swimming pool on the eighth floor?"
"The River, we have made a reservation." Lin Jing said, "Thank you."
The elevator lady pressed the floor and asked with a smile, "Have your parents arrived yet?"
Ji Xingling:
Lin Jing didn't quite understand: "Do I have to be accompanied by my parents?"
"...Of course not." The elevator lady was obviously taken aback, but quickly recovered her professional smile, "The 20th floor is here, I wish you two a pleasant meal."
There is a long corridor outside the elevator, covered with thick carpets, which looks serious and grand. The welcome at the door obviously had never seen such a combination of two high school students coming to dinner. He hesitated when taking the table, but still did not arrange them in the reserved couple booth, but put them in a relatively bright window. side.
Ji Xingling: "Why is everyone looking at us?"
Lin Jing: "I don't know."
Ji Xingling: "I think this is a restaurant for couples."
Lin Jing: "Yes."
"Did you not find out?"
"..." I found out, as soon as I walked in the door, so can you shut up.
But before coming, Mr. Xiao Lin had already ordered part of the dishes by phone and paid a deposit for the lobster.
Very expensive, must eat.
Ji Xingling tied the napkin, puzzled: "Why is this store on your shortlist?"
Lin Jing hesitated to speak.
"what do you want to say?"
"I wanted to quibble and throw the blame on you."
"Fuck, what does this have to do with me?!"
"Yes, so I'm going to be honest and lenient now. I didn't even read the introduction carefully when I chose." It's all based on the price and the picture taken from the star rating.
"..."
"But there are also people who are not couples." Lin Jing looked around and comforted himself, "Just treat us as a business banquet."
Ji Xingling had been exercising all day, and was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he didn't have the energy to pick and choose, so he ate the pre-dinner bread by himself. In fact, if you don’t talk about the environment, the food in The River is still good. After all, the old-fashioned restaurant, whether it’s fresh shrimp leaf salad or pan-fried scallops in butter, is delicious, the cod is slightly charred, and the butter soup wrapped in bread is also delicious. Lin Jing has ordered steak in advance And lobster, Ji Xingling only added a portion of traditional pasta to take care of Mr. Xiaolin's wallet. It is reasonable to say that the two of them are about the same, but as I said before, this restaurant is only for couples to date, and the chef may feel that there are no customers. I will come to eat with the purpose of filling my stomach, so the amount of dishes is shockingly small, a small roll of pasta, and the dessert is only half a piece of nougat and a scoop of ice cream, placed on a 20-centimeter diameter On the plate, the visual effect is amazing, and you will be more hungry after eating.
Lin Jing felt very sorry for the treat, but if he could eat all the M9 Wagyu in this restaurant, he might have to rely on the northwest wind for a long time in the future, so he had to make a compromise: "Otherwise, I will treat you to another meal Dry pot bullfrog?"
"This point is from the city center to Wanhe, and it's blocked." Ji Xingling held his coat, "Let's go, there is Haidilao across the street, and you can save your bullfrog for next time."
There are waiters at the entrance of the restaurant who are sending red roses. It should be to let every guest have a good dining memory. Lin Jingwu thunderously refused, and grabbed Ji Xingling with one hand, entering the elevator like a thief.
And it wasn't until they left the Jincheng Hotel and breathed the lively and slightly cold air on the street that they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Xingling originally felt that this dining experience was difficult to describe in words, but seeing Lin Jing's bewildered face, he thought it was quite amusing, so he leaned over and said, "Do you feel very embarrassed now?"
"Why should I be embarrassed?"
"Because you took me to a couple's restaurant."
"I obviously searched for five stores, so what River did you choose?"
"Hey man, you just said that you wouldn't blame me."
"I've changed my mind, can't I?"
"Of course not!"
"Let's go." Lin Jing pulled him into Haidilao.
Compared with The River, the hustle and bustle of the hot pot restaurant is obviously more suitable for high school students. The weird embarrassment brought by the couple's restaurant was finally diluted. The two ate and drank enough, and neither of them wanted to move on the sofa.
"Ji Xingling seems to be stuffed."
"Me too."
"Let's walk for a while and then take a taxi."
"good."
The rain outside has just stopped.
The orange-red street lamps cast wet shadows on the ground, which cannot turn the city upside down, and can also give people the illusion of light and time and space for a moment.
Lin Jing put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly along the edge of the flower bed.
There is an old tree on the side of the road. It is so old that it almost forgets what kind of monster it is, so it often blooms indiscriminately and regardless of the seasons. Fortunately, it grows very tall, so it will not be easily seen. people found out.
And this night, it bloomed another flower, which was light silver in color. Blown by the wind, it just fluttered and landed on Lin Jing's shoulder.
Obviously, this species shouldn't exist in human plants. In order to avoid trouble, Ji Xingling caught up with him in two steps, put his shoulder on his shoulder like a fool, and put his fingers together quietly: "You wait for me."
The petals are turned into fine powder between the fingers, and then flicker and float in the air.
Lin Jing turned to look at him: "What did you say?"
Those tiny shimmers of light were as light as dust, instantly covering his eyelashes: "Huh?"
"I said close your eyes." Ji Xingling pulled him to stand in the shadows, "It's shiny, and I don't know which store it came from. Don't move, I'll clean it for you."
Lin Jing was very cooperative: "Oh."
Slightly iron the dry fingertips, and move carefully.
after awhile.
"Ji Xingling."
"Don't move, it will be fine soon."
"I'm not going to say that."
"Then what are you going to say?"
"You seem to have a real fever."
"..."
