Dou Xun hates school.
Whether it's the kind of lecture progress in the class that makes people feel like a waste of life, or the idiots around him who can't communicate with each other, he has no nostalgia for campus life and no expectations.
From childhood to adulthood, he looked down on others, and others didn't like to play with him. A kinder environment would isolate him and leave him out, and a chaotic place would go to war with each other for three days.
Dou Xun always wanted to get out of an environment as soon as he arrived at an environment, as if the next environment could be better. It was not until his middle school career was left with a short tail that he had a shallow taste of what it should be like to be a student.
It's just "just a little taste". Although Xu Xilin takes him everywhere, he can't get in on the games and girls discussed by others - he doesn't like to play games, girls... Except for the few who occasionally hang out, he basically does everything. do not know. Others seem to know that he doesn't understand, and never take the initiative to talk to him.
But even this superficial feeling is coming to an end.
Dou Xun was at a loss, and he couldn't talk to him. He had an inexplicable dependence on Xu Xilin. He wished he could be packed and taken away after the exam. , More than half of the mind is not on reading, and there is no will to make progress.
The more Dou Xun thought about it, the more he hated that iron could not become steel, so he started another fight that day, and quarreled with Xu Xilin.
After the quarrel, he silently returned to the house and unpacked a whole package of pork jerky. He ate it while thinking about his life. When he accidentally finished eating, Dou Xun also thought about the result, he thought: "I want to go to high school for another year. "
Young Master Xu Xilin's temper often makes Dou Xun go away in anger. But after the quarrel, when the anger passes, he is not likely to have the same knowledge as Dou Xun, because Dou Xun belongs to an unknown species of mammals and primates. He is a handsome humanoid pet with an ingenious brain circuit. Measured by human reason.
In the days after that, veteran Xu Xilin and the others took turns to fight, pestering Cai Jing three times a day, and insisting that Cai Jing promise them to replace the shift.
When he returned from the May 1st holiday, Xu Xilin took his classmate Dou Xun, who couldn't get rid of him, to attend his first "job" in his life.
Cai Jing works at McDonald's on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and he can't take it for him. At other times, it doesn't matter. He works as a waiter in a small private fast-food restaurant. The management of the small fast-food restaurant is loose. A salary, it doesn't matter if you get it alone or not.
On the first day of work, it was quite fresh, and Xu Xilin did it with relish.
In the evening of the same day, a middle-aged man who was dressed to the tune of his eyes walked into the small fast food restaurant. His clothes are crisp, he is meticulously groomed, and his demeanor is elegant. He does not have the "rich state" of ordinary middle-aged men and women with their chests and stomachs up. There are even traces of grooming in his hair. Compared with the migrant workers and poor students in the store, Appears very out of place.
The man entered the door, looked around without a trace, then picked a table in the corner, first wiped the bench and dining table with a napkin, and then sat down with his trouser legs slightly raised.
The sitting posture is very elegant, as if this person is not here to drink waste oil, but to taste Lafite.
Dou Xun walked over with a blank face, remembering that Xu Xilin had told him to smile at the guests, so he forced a smiley expression, and asked hard, "What to eat?"
Xu Xilin covered his face behind the counter.
The visitor glanced at Xu Xilin from a distance and ordered a few dishes.
This guest may be a problem, there are two dishes in total, one is not allowed to put coriander, the other is not allowed to put chopped green onion, one time he asked for less soy sauce, another time he asked for a small dish of vinegar, Dou Xun put one hand in Douche, without even holding a pen, stood and listened to the guest's meticulous instructions, he nodded slightly, turned around and left.
The man stopped him: "Classmate, do you remember?"
Dou Xun: "Should I repeat it for you?"
The man had a good temper, smiled, and didn't know him in general.
However, Dou Xun felt that something was wrong, because the migrant workers and migrant girls working in this kind of small shop were basically the age of high school students, so it wouldn't look awkward when the two of them were mixed together. The stranger said "classmate" when he opened his mouth. , how did he know he was a student
Dou Xun went behind the counter, reported the menu to the kitchen, turned his head and asked Xu Xilin, "Do you know that person?"
"Well... um, okay, got it, thank you, I'll deliver it right away." Xu Xilin just finished registering a call for takeout, and gave Dou Xun a puzzled look, "Who?"
Dou Xun gestured to the strange male customer in the corner with his eyes.
Xu Xilin followed his gaze and looked up. He saw the strange guest resting his elbows on the table, revealing a restrained business watch on his wrist. He was looking at himself. He didn't look embarrassed when he was caught, but rushed towards him kindly. He smiled.
Xu Xilin nodded politely to the other party, then turned to Dou Xun and said, "I don't know, all the people I know don't pretend to be secretive."
Although the stranger ordered food, he didn't take a few bites and left after dipping his chopsticks.
After the evening shift was over, Xu Xilin and Dou Xun handed over the work in the store, signed for Cai Jing, and then went home together. Xu Xilin stood for a whole night, and his back was stiff. He initially understood the necessity of "studying hard". He was about to communicate with Dou Xun when he suddenly saw the strange middle-aged man who had just come to the store standing by a car at the intersection. beside.
The man saw Xu Xilin and the others, bent over and said something to the people in the car, then strode over and said to Xu Xilin, "Can I say a word to you?"
His attitude is too earnest, a bit "either a traitor or a thief" means. Xu Xilin turned sideways subconsciously, blocking Dou Xun, who was very wary of strangers: "Do you know me?"
The man laughed and didn't answer directly. He just asked, "You are so busy with your studies, isn't the pocket money your mother gave you enough? How could you do such a thing?"
This familiar tone made Xu Xilin frown.
At his age, it is impossible for him to be kidnapped and sold as a child. Generally, two and a half lads walk on the road, whether they are cheating money or robbery, they will stay away from them.
Xu Xilin had a vague guess in his heart.
He said a little impatiently: "It's not in your business, is it?"
The man was a little nervous, because according to his observation, Xu Xilin was a very outgoing and easy-going person. He could chat a few words with the pleasant customers in the store, but he didn't expect that he didn't seem to suit his eyes.
The man looked at Xu Xilin almost flatteringly and asked, "Do you remember me?"
"I don't remember," Xu Xilin pulled Dou Xun expressionlessly, "Let's go."
The man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stopped Xu Xilin: "Wait, Xiaolin, you actually remember Dad, right?"
Xu Xilin was shocked, but he didn't expect his vague guess to come true.
The man stepped forward and said eagerly, "You were only a little older when I left, and you are so tall now. Although Dad has been abroad for so many years, he really didn't ignore you. I I have always missed you very much, and I have sent you many gifts before... but you may not have received them, your mother... she is not very willing to let you contact me. "
Xu Xilin has no impression of his father, and he has no love or hatred. Xu Jin is not like some divorced women, in order to let the child "stand on his side", he instills hatred for the other parent all day long - she does not at all. How to advance husband.
At the beginning, Xu Xilin didn't really care. If this man can prove that he is really his father, it doesn't matter if he chats, no matter what, he is his father.
But when he heard the back, he felt something was wrong.
This gentleman and Xu Xilin "may be related, but it's not the case." There is a saying that they are not close. Even Ms. Xu, who was born in a lawsuit, never said anything bad about her ex-husband. He is very good. First, I veiledly told Xu Jin.
He looked again and saw that the man was dressed like a dog. He said he was going abroad. Couldn't he afford a plane ticket to go back to China after so many years
Xu Xilin put his schoolbag on his shoulder: "What's your last name?"
"The last name is Zheng, you were also..."
"Mr. Zheng," Xu Xilin thought for a while, and decided to reply in the manner of an adult, "As a shareholder, you have sold all the shares you held in related companies for more than ten years, and you still want to keep the dividends and auditing Right, there is no reason for this, right?"
The man was stunned on the spot.
Then Xu Xilin quickly revealed his true form, returned to the youth mode, and waved at him: "Also, next time, let me hear you speak ill of my mother, it won't kill you, if you don't believe it, try it."
After speaking, Xu Xilin walked away.
Dou Xun glared back at the "Mr. Zheng" for him, and quickly chased after him.
At this time, it was already a bit early summer, and the locust flower showed a hint of white, and there was a hazy dark fragrance floating in the dry night wind.
Dou Xun followed Xu Xilin silently for a while, recalling how Lao Cheng and the others communicated with Xu Xilin when they encountered a similar situation - as if they were walking over, lightly touched him with the shoulder, gave him a look or hugged him. A pat on his shoulder was comforting.
So Dou Xun clumsily stepped forward, imitating their actions, and "gently" bumped Xu Xilin with his shoulder... However, he didn't learn it well, and he bumped hard, knocking Xu Xilin to the side and staggering half a step. , was also startled.
Xu Xilin asked inexplicably, "What are you doing?"
Dou Xun: "..."
Dou Xun was extremely frustrated, so he pretended that nothing happened and walked forward on his own.
Xu Xilin reacted for three seconds, and finally understood that Dou Xun seemed to be trying to comfort him. He was teased by this living treasure on the spot, and left all "Mr. Zheng" and "Mr. Crooked" aside.
He trotted a few steps, pounced on Dou Xun's back, and wrapped his elbows around his neck, "Why are you so funny, bean paste."
Dou Xun was strangled by him until his face turned red, and he broke free, and then the two of you stabbed me, I pushed you, chased and slapped and went home.
At the door of the house, Xu Xilin stopped short of breath and told Dou Xun, "Don't tell anyone about today's affairs, especially my mother and grandma."
Dou Xun nodded seriously, Xu Xilin glanced at him, for some reason, he couldn't hold back anymore, he couldn't stop laughing while holding the door frame.
"Smile," Dou Xun said with a flushed ear and an ashen face, pushing him open and entering the door, "You idiot."
