Dou Xun's eyelids were reluctant to blink and looked at Xu Xilin. He felt that he hadn't looked carefully that day, because he was surprised to find another thing - Xu Xilin's clothes were too thick. And a coat, and now I actually wrapped a sweater coat, and rolled a scarf to cover half of my chin.
However, there is no warm feeling in the person, and he still seems to feel that he is cold.
Dou Xun's sight was too obvious, even if Xu Xilin was blind, he could sense it. He knew that he couldn't take it up and couldn't let it go. Facing that person, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He wanted to come to Dou Xunzhen to let go, so he had such a calm gaze, right
Fortunately, at this time, Cai Jing raised his head and smiled at Xu Xilin. Xu Xi was busy and went downhill, took the opportunity to avoid Dou Xun's endless gaze, and sat next to him: "I'm sorry, I didn't pick you up..."
Cai Jing cut half an apple and handed it to him: "It's okay, grandpa didn't call you, I know you're busy."
Xu Xilin was about to open his mouth to say something, but no one came out next to him: "How much is Mr. Xu worth now, do you have a wife? If so, do you have a mistress? I recommend it!"
Xu Xilin: "..."
Dou Xun was expressionless, pretending to unscrew a bottle of iced black tea as if nothing had happened, but in fact his ears stood up high, and his eyes almost shot through the small coffee table in front of him.
Xu Xilin tilted his head and said to the gang of people who were booing, "While you go, what's the mess? I'll get you a few cards later, and add two dishes to the New Year's Eve dinner."
Deng Shu: "My husband is so nice!"
Luo Bing: "I want my husband too!"
Yu still: "Old, old..."
"Husband Solitaire" was broken by her, and Yu still called "grandma" for a long time, and he laughed first and foremost.
Xu Xilin waved his hand and sent a WeChat account to his account manager, asking him to send some gift vouchers when he was free in the evening.
Dou Xun's raised ears dropped silently again, Xu Xilin really didn't like to talk about his family affairs in front of others.
In the private room, someone was singing, someone was chatting, and the girls were discussing their marriage and love stages. Deng Shu said, "Forcing my mother-in-law about me, she has to stay at my house and doesn't leave. I think it's expensive for me to buy food all day long, hey, You say, the old lady makes her own money and spends it herself, and she has never touched her son for a while, and I am happy with the money, can you handle it?"
Wu Tao is showing his daughter to several brothers. He blatantly violated the policy of late marriage and late childbearing, and he got married after graduation. It is no wonder that he also got fat earlier than others: "Just this little brat, how long do you think she has to drink a bucket of milk powder? How much is a fucking bucket! Our family still has to import it, which is more expensive than a Ferrari... Hey, Lao Xu, that Mr. Xu, do you sell milk powder?"
Another part is talking about their respective "causes".
Xu Xilin sounded a little naive to praise each other by the young people - in comparison, the middle-aged and old men were more flamboyant. He was too lazy to participate, and was not in the mood to show himself, so he sat quietly on the side, sometimes being pulled by the girls to make fun of him.
Fifteen years ago, Xu Xilin felt that it was terrible not to fit in with the crowd and not fit in with the group. Seven or eight years ago, Xu Xilin felt that his "secret" was spread among old classmates, and it was terrible for everyone to find out that he was an outlier.
Later, he turned around in a dizzy circle in the dark old factory dormitory and the rolling red dust, feeling that it was terrible for him to become indifferent to many things.
At their age, some are married, some are getting married, and some are busy on blind dates. Everyone is on the right track and enjoying the anxiety of not being able to go to the village or the store. People exchange their own experiences and confusions, and get together, but there is more to talk about than the gathering in college.
In comparison, Xu Xilin's corner seemed too quiet.
Since Lao Cheng smashed a skewer restaurant, he has suffered from a late secondary illness. He believes that "life is precious, love is more expensive, and if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away", he opened yellow coffee successively Shop, Tibetan jewelry shop and milk tea shop, now selling flowers... Part-time fortune-telling.
Cai Jing needless to say, the best years bear a withered fruit, and he dare not look forward to his own ins and outs.
There is also Xu Xilin and Dou Xun, who are light on the bright side, and silent in the dark.
For their bizarre group of four, what "mother-in-law", "blind date", "milk powder"... It sounds like something from another world.
Cai Jing listened for a moment, then laughed silently, and a dozen expression lines appeared in the corners of his eyes.
Xu Xilin said to him, "I didn't expect you to come."
Cai Jing didn't say a word and took a bite of the apple. He ate slowly and cherished it. After chewing for a while, he bluntly changed the subject: "You can eat it inside, but it doesn't seem to taste like this."
Xu Xilin did not expect that Cai Jing would take the initiative to mention his years behind bars, and was stunned for a moment.
On the opposite side, Lao Cheng scratched his ears and said, "What... I called it, I didn't think about it carefully, I didn't expect... Lao Cai also gave me face... "
Because Cai Jing had no relatives, before entering, there were only this group of classmates around, and he was barely related to him. Lao Cheng didn't consider that he couldn't integrate into the current rush and turbulent mainstream, and then he began to regret it.
Xu Xilin raised his head and glanced at him, only to see Lao Cheng, but also Dou Xun next to him.
Xu Xilin looked at him for a long time, and he had to worry in his heart for a long time. To him, Dou Xun seemed to be a very important exam, but he didn't perform well. He knew what kind of bear he was doing in the exam. The aunt is urging him to check the score, but he is the only one who hides the admission ticket and deceives himself.
Dou Xunpan looked forward to him for a long time, but he slid away quickly like a dragonfly, and suddenly felt a little tight in his chest.
The sofa in the private room was very low, and Dou Xun's long legs were stretched out, he stretched forward, either intentionally or unintentionally, and his toes lightly touched Xu Xilin's shoes.
Xu Xilin gnawed at the apple given by Cai Jing reluctantly, but he didn't dare to hide his feet. He felt that the neurons in his body were displaced as a whole, and they were crowded under the peripheral nerves of his feet. Hot sweat.
"Where's the future?" Xu Xilinmon asked himself.
He secretly despised himself and decided to take the initiative, so he started with Cai Jing in circles: "What are your plans? Do you want to go to me and find a job first?"
Cai Jing: "Forget it, I'll get used to it for a while and go to Grandpa's shop to help."
Xu Xilin swept Dou Xun out of the corner of his eye, and turned to Lao Cheng: "What future can I have with him? Lao Cheng, the more you mingle in the past two years, the more you go back. Others have accumulated a lot of education, but you are good, and you have accumulated a lot of bankruptcy. small shop."
Lao Cheng shook his head and shook his tail with a wagging smile. At the same time, he did not live up to Xu Xilin's expectations, so he naturally took over the topic: "I need an education to find Dou Daxian - Daxian, are you still leaving?"
Xu Xilin gave Lao Cheng 32 likes in his heart, and followed the army to focus on Dou Xun.
Before Dou Xun met Xu Xilin, it didn't matter whether he left or stayed, looking at job opportunities, after meeting Xu Xilin, 800 plans were gone, and whether he would leave or stay was up to someone—someone just looked around. When it comes to the source, it took a long time to give him an eye.
Dou Xun was very depressed and said expressionlessly, "Not necessarily."
Xu Xilin's heart was swayed by his cold "not necessarily". He wanted to ask Lao Cheng to ask a few more questions for himself. At the same time, the heating in the private room was too hot, so he took off his jacket.
Lao Cheng couldn't understand the spirit, and when he saw Xu Xilin's sweater with a thread on his shoulder, he immediately shifted his attention: "Look at the hard and simple Yan'an spirit of our general manager Xu, even after the thread is opened, do you still wear a patched autumn dress inside? Clothes?"
Xu Xilin said casually: "My son scratched."
His voice fell, and Dou Xun quickly retracted his feet and changed to a posture that was almost upright, his cheeks suddenly tensed.
As soon as he withdrew, Xu Xilin felt that half of the mountain that was pressing on him was gone. He moved his leg uncomfortably and found that his leg was numb.
But soon, the pressure was gone, Xu Xilin began to feel uneasy, and subconsciously wanted to explain, but how do you say it
Whatever it is, it seems very deliberate.
On the surface, he was calm, but in fact, he became more and more restless... He had never been so nervous when he was flickering on both sides of the pimp.
Fortunately, the little angel Cai Jing rescued him. Cai Jing asked in surprise, "You have children? Boys or girls?"
Xu Xilin hurried down the steps with tears in his eyes: "Mister!"
After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and showed Cai Jing the picture of the grey parrot, as if he was afraid that others would not know that "his son" was not a human being.
Dou Xun sat upright, leaning forward a little, but also leaning straight forward.
After a lot of ups and downs in his mood, the adrenaline has not yet subsided, and while the blown scalp has not calmed down, he mustered up the courage to speak to Xu Xilin: "You are in your teens, show me what it is like now. already?"
Xu Xilin handed over the mobile phone, wondering if Dou Xun did it on purpose, and touched him with his fingertips, Xu Xilin felt that the neuron cells that had just illegally assembled on his feet just moved to the bench and stood up together, Wu Yang Wuyang rushed over. His fingertips gathered together, and together they turned a little bit of trouble into a thunderstorm.
Xu Xilin secretly twitched his numb fingertips, and coughed dryly next to his mouth.
"I asked my classmates to buy it back then." Dou Xun smiled and returned the phone to Xu Xilin, "How many words do you know?"
"I'm about to become an illegal sperm," Xu Xilin deliberately relaxed his sitting position, and finally couldn't wait for him to grow old. With 12 points of energy, he went to the test himself, "Have you been staying in a hotel?"
"No," Dou Xun said, "I finished my job a few years ago, and I want to find a house in the off-season these two days - I'll wait for you... um... Can you take me for a ride, I have an appointment with a real estate agent to see the house. ."
A large number of nerve cells in Xu Xilin's fingers and feet were inactive, and Qiqiao's heart was embolized in six, and he blurted out, "Is that the intermediary next to Walmart?"
"..." Dou Xun was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, nodding firmly, "En."
After Xu Xilin finished speaking, he realized that he had just been dizzy - he took too many orders, and when he heard the word "hike", he felt that the paths uploaded by both parties were the same, so he opened his mouth and called the real estate agent near their home without asking himself. The confession came out, and it was only after the confession that he recovered, Dou Xun didn't order his order.
He looked at Dou Xun's nonchalant expression and almost suspected that Dou Xun was deliberately deceiving him.
However, after thinking about it, I suppressed this self-indulgent thought again.
Maybe Dou Xun is not familiar with this place, maybe he just thought that he would hit the road that day, right
It's also impossible for him to know what's next to the real estate agency, maybe just watching him act stupid and not expose it.
His bean paste has grown up.
Lao Cheng knew a little about the "inside story", and he had a stomachache watching their difficult conversation next to him, so he organized everyone to eat.
Everyone came to Cai Jing to clink glasses, but no one dared to ask him about his past and future.
Xu Xilin could see that Cai Jing looked as if nothing had happened, and received all the wine he had ordered. In fact, he was not feeling depressed... But he was just watching from the side and didn't go up to block it. Originally, since Xu Xilin brought wine, he was ready to make an appointment to drive on his behalf, but just now he agreed to Dou Xun to take him to see the house.
As a result, the ride without a ticket still failed. They left too late, and a large group of people drank too much.
Xu Xilin had to send the drunks to various taxis one by one, and let everyone go home and go home.
In the private room, Lao Cheng was guarding a pile of endgames top-heavy and roaring "Leaving Song". Dou Xun stared at the door to see Xu Xi's temporary shadow, while absent-mindedly listened to Cai Jing's rambles.
Cai Jingdong murmured crookedly: "You have all come so far, and come back to see me... Hiccup, I thank you."
Dou Xun: "You're welcome."
Cai Jing's eyes flickered with the glimmer of the private room, and he couldn't see who was beside him, so he shouted indiscriminately, "Grandma, grandpa, it's not a group... a group..."
Dou Xun dutifully reminded: "Dou Xun."
"Dou... Dou Daxian." Cai Jing grabbed his arm and shook it, "Did you not even dare to ask me... How does it feel to be in jail?"
Dou Xun turned his head to look at Cai Jing.
When he was in high school, all his sense of belonging came from Xu Xilin, and it was because Xu Xilin was mixed with those classmates. There was such a medium in the middle, and he never kissed him. His impression of Cai Jing was limited to "taciturn", but he had no scruples.
Dou Xun respected the drunkard's opinion and asked bluntly, "How does it feel to be in jail?"
"It's not as bitter as I imagined," Cai Jing whispered almost inaudibly.
Lao Cheng sensible turned off the annoying music, and heard Cai Jing say vaguely, "It's just that sometimes I think, this life is over, and after more than ten years, don't even think about raising your head."
After Dou Xun listened, he nodded earnestly without any consolation: "Yes."
"I wanted to die in the first few years." Cai Jing said to himself, "Later, I was cowardly and didn't dare."
Dou Xun didn't care whether he listened or not, and faithfully performed his duties as an audience: "Most people don't dare, and neither do I."
Cai Jing suddenly let out a breath, and then burst into tears.
"I don't want to live," he said, "I dare not die..."
Dou Xun's heart was inexplicably moved by him, and he suddenly wondered if most of the pain could be summed up as "do not want to do, dare not do nothing"
At this moment, Xu Xilin came back. He stood at the door a little tired and waited, listening to Cai Jing cry and watching Dou Xun in a daze, and when Cai Jing's cry faded away, he sighed and walked back: "Where do I live? give you."
Lao Cheng said with a big tongue on the side: "I... in our store!"
"Okay, get up, let's go." Xu Xilin said, reaching out and dragging Cai Jing.
Cai Jing was 30 to 40 pounds heavier than when he was a teenager, and Xu Xilin had really neglected to exercise in recent years, and it was very difficult to drag a large Cai Jing.
Xu Xilin pulled Cai Jing up and was about to say "help me" when Cai Jing fell towards him like mud. fall down.
Dou Xun didn't know how to react so quickly, and caught him.
Afterwards, Dou Xun's body seemed to be awakened from the memory of many years ago. Before his reason was awakened, he subconsciously hugged Xu Xilin tightly.
The feeling became unfamiliar, Xu Xilin struggled a little, and Dou Xun clung to his waist tightly and did not let go. He felt a violent heartbeat in Xu Xilin's heart, as if he was about to pierce his ribs and knock out a bloody path. .
