There are traces of the galaxy

Chapter 13 Pink Pomegranate Seeds

Li Zhi once ate Haidilao with his roommates when he was a university student in Xiacheng, and found that there were more than 200 people in line in front of him.Li Zhi has nothing to do, okay, then wait a little longer.They also said that there would be a lot of empty numbers that would be skipped directly. Li Zhizhen believed it, but it turned out that he had to wait for nearly three hours.

Later, I visited with my girlfriend at the time a few times, and I had to wait in a long line to accompany her to the shopping mall between meals, but Li Zhi was not a very patient person, so I didn't go shopping for a while. My patience ran out, and my girlfriend had an awkward fight with him because of this.

However, what surprised him was that there were not many numbers in front of the queue this time, and the queue did not last long.

Food like hot pot seems to have a lively background, and the atmosphere in the store is also lively. Once you enter, you will feel a lot more relaxed.

The two walked to the innermost position under the leadership of the waiter. Li Zhi was a little puzzled, "I used to line up for at least two hours every time I came here. Why is it so fast this time?"

"Maybe it's because I'm lucky," Lin Chaosheng said with a smile, "When people come out to eat with me, they basically never line up."

"So amazing?" Li Zhi was surprised, grabbed his arm lightly and then quickly let go, "Take a look at your luck and share it with me."

The two sat down facing each other.

"No problem, I can give it to you." Lin Chaosheng said casually, and took the tablet from the waiter.

"Are there any taboos?" Lin Chaosheng asked him.

"No." Li Zhi replied.

So Lin Chaosheng ordered food with confidence, without any hesitation, and quickly finished ordering, and then handed the tablet to Li Zhi, "Okay, you can order."

Li Zhi glanced at the dishes he added to the shopping cart, and smiled helplessly, "You like meat too much, don't you?"

All kinds of meat rolls, slippery beef, small crispy pork, tripe, shrimp slippery... almost ordered everything that can be ordered.

"I'm a carnivore," Lin Chaosheng touched the bridge of his nose, and said with some embarrassment, "Why don't you take out a few servings? If you order too much, you may not be able to finish it."

"No, just a few more dishes to balance it out." Li Zhi added a few more vegetarian dishes as he said.The appetites of the two boys will not be too small, he is not afraid of not being able to finish eating at all, but worried that there is not enough to eat.

During the ordering process, the waiters standing by were eager to talk to them, and most of the time it was Lin Chaosheng who answered.Li Zhi has never been very used to Haidilao's service attitude, being overly enthusiastic is a kind of disturbance to him.Fortunately, after Lin Chaosheng waited for Li Zhi to hand the tablet to the waiter, he smiled and said to the waiter, "Thank you sister, we don't need help, and we won't use it here after the dishes are served."

The waitress smiled, said yes and wished you a nice meal, and left.

Li Zhi stared at it in a daze, it turned out that it could still be like this, I learned it.

Then the two of them went to the dipping area to adjust the dipping sauce. Lin Chaosheng was doing the whole process. Li Zhi was not good at this, so he stood by and watched him put various seasonings into the porcelain bowl spoon by spoon.

The dishes were served one after another, and Lin Chaosheng skillfully poured all kinds of meat rolls into the butter pot. The red soup was rolled, and the strong flavor of spices whetted the appetite.

Li Zhi watched Lin Chaosheng do everything right, and he didn't need to do anything, and felt that he was no different from a disabled person who couldn't take care of himself.

The colander was just placed on the edge of the pot on his side, so Li Zhi picked up the colander to scoop out the meat for Lin Chaosheng, and put it into the dipping bowl on the opposite side with his arms hooked.

"I'll do it myself." Lin Chaosheng was a little flattered by Li Zhi's feeding, thinking that he was not without long hands, and wanted to take the colander in his hand.

Li Zhi didn't agree, and didn't give him the colander: "I'm relatively easy."

"Okay, okay." Lin Chaosheng leaned back in the chair relaxedly, allowing him to continue feeding himself.

Seeing that the meat in the pot was almost gone, Li Zhi threw the potatoes on the plate into the pot first.

"By the way, that Dai Yueran..."

"What's wrong with her?" What is Dai Yueran doing again?Wouldn't Lin Chaosheng be really pulled into the club as a makeup girl? Li Zhi looked up at him, do you agree?

"It's nothing, but she asked me two days ago, cough..." Lin Chaosheng cleared his throat.

"Ask you what?"

"Ask me if I can do makeup for the coser of their club," Lin Chaosheng paused, then continued, "I declined."

Li Zhi thought to himself that it was good to refuse, and asked him again: "Why did you refuse?"

"There seems to be no reason, I don't want to," Lin Chaosheng said: "So I refused, it feels a bit weird."

Li Zhi sighed, "If only I could reject her as quickly as you do." He wouldn't have bumped into the women's dress last time.

Lin Chaosheng's hand that was going to pick up potatoes paused, and his expression became a little weird, making people unpredictable, "That's so simple, can't we just refuse?"

"I wanted to refuse, but Dai Yueran is too obsessive, and I have nothing to do with her."

Lin Chaosheng was silent.He thought they were a couple at first, but now they don't look like each other, maybe they are in an ambiguous stage?Dai Yueran is very considerate towards Li Zhi, and it can be seen that he cares about him, but Li Zhi doesn't seem to like Dai Yueran very much, and always ignores her. Although he doesn't like her, he doesn't make it clear refused.Lin Chaosheng recalled all the good things Dai Yueran said about Li Zhi when he was chatting with him, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Is Li Zhi's attitude towards girls too vague, and he also has the meaning of throwing the pot away, and put the responsibility Pushing it to girls, could this be the legendary... scumbag?

As soon as this idea came up, Lin Chaosheng immediately suppressed it. How could it be possible? Li Zhi is just too soft-hearted and not good at saying no, it must be like this.

"Then what's your relationship now?" As soon as he asked, Lin Chaosheng felt that the question was a bit abrupt and regretted it, but it was too late to take it back, and secretly observed Li Zhi's face.

Li Zhi had a natural expression, "Brother and sister, didn't I tell you?"

Not really, but I heard that Dai Yueran called his sister before, how can it be called that when a couple is having fun?Lin Chaosheng put the messy thoughts behind him, and spoke again after deliberation: "Is it... the kind that is related by blood?"

"Ah," Li Zhi was so happy that he almost lost his grip on the chopsticks with the beef roll in his hand, "what else?"

"Dai Yueran is my cousin, my uncle's daughter." He continued.

Now Lin Chaosheng understood, and felt that he had misunderstood a little bit, he pretended to be very calm and said "Oh", "So that's the case, no wonder." But his face blushed unconsciously.

Li Zhi could see clearly, and when he realized what he was thinking, he couldn't help laughing, "No, what kind of relationship do you think we are, boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Lin Chaosheng lowered his eyelashes and nodded embarrassedly.

"Then your brain circuits are quite similar."

Um? ?Where does it look like?Lin Chaosheng looked up at Li Zhi, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"She also thought I was with you."

is... what?Lin Chaosheng saw a teasing smile on Li Zhi's face, as if he understood what he meant.

He couldn't help laughing: "This brain circuit is too different, it's not in one direction at all."

"Yes." Li Zhi nodded thoughtfully, still looking at him with the smile in his eyes undiminished.

After coming out of the hot pot restaurant, Li Zhi looked at the time and found that the Haidilao meal had been eaten for less than an hour, and it would take at least two hours before it was released.The time spent eating must be longer than the time spent queuing, otherwise wouldn't it be a loss?But with Lin Chaosheng, it feels like all this time is not wasted.

"Are you going to listen to the introduction to astronomy in the future?" Li Zhi looked at Lin Chaosheng expectantly, the incandescent lights in the mall were very bright, and Li Zhi's eyes lit up, "My tutor will be back in two days. "

Lin Chaosheng also turned his head to look at him, and smiled casually: "Of course, can I not go when you are here?"

"Then I just pass by where I live, and I'll find you some related books."

"Row."

Following Li Zhi into the alley, a sense of familiarity arises spontaneously.The streets here are very similar to the old houses that Lin Chaosheng lived in before, with mottled walls full of small advertisements and graffiti, old buildings with peeled off paint, and moss on the corners of the walls. From the outside, the streets and alleys in this city look like There is no difference, there is decay and decay, but it does not lose the breath of life.

The two got into the dark building, and Lin Chaosheng asked, "Which floor do you live on?"

"Sixth floor."

"That's enough trouble to go up and down the stairs all day."

"……fine."

At first it was Li Zhi who walked in front of him, but when he went up to the fourth floor, Lin Chaosheng was in front.

"Your physical strength..." Lin Chaosheng stopped, turned his head and glanced at Li Zhi who was behind him, and hesitated to speak.He wanted to laugh a little, Li Zhi should often go up and down the mountain at home, logically speaking, his physical strength should not be so weak, why he was out of breath even going up a few flights of stairs.

Li Zhi pursed his lips and did not speak.In fact, the number of times he went out during the entire summer vacation in Linchuan Mountain was very few, and the principle he followed when going out was to take a car instead of walking.It's the same in school. If you have nothing to do, you can stay on campus for a day, and only come back to sleep at night.Because climbing six floors is really tiring.

Li Zhi kept many pots of green plants in the house, on the simple porch cabinet when he entered the door, on both sides of the TV, and under the table.

There are more on the balcony, clay pots and plastic pots of different colors and sizes neatly arranged in a horizontal row on the window sill.

"Why do you raise so many?" Lin Chaosheng was a little surprised. He knew that Li Zhi liked flowers when he was in Linchuan Mountain, but he didn't expect him to like flowers so much.

"Most of them were left by the previous tenant, and only a few pots were bought by myself," Li Zhi said with a smile, "Do you know how much that rubber tree costs?" Following the direction he pointed, Lin Chaosheng saw it. The big gray leafy tree next to the TV.

"How many?"

Li Zhi made a five.

"Fifty?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "Five yuan."

"Rounding up means no money." Lin Chaosheng said.

Then the two looked at each other and laughed together in a very tacit understanding.

Lin Chaosheng noticed the only flower growing gratifyingly on the balcony. The bright yellow petals were tightly hugged together.

"What kind of flower is this big yellow flower?" He walked over and asked.

Big yellow flower... you really know how to name it.Li Zhi couldn't help laughing, "Canary, a kind of rose."

"It turned out to be Chinese rose," Lin Chaosheng thoughtfully, "Although it doesn't look like it, the name is quite nice."

"Why doesn't it look like it? How beautiful it is." Li Zhi was not happy at once. This canary is his treasure. When he first bought it, he moved it outside the balcony to bask in the sun every day. Spraying medicine, it took a lot of energy to develop what it is now.

"Didn't everyone say that roses and roses look alike? I don't think this one looks much like it. I don't mean it's not good-looking."

"... There are different types, some look like some, and some don't." Li Zhi said.

Jiang Zhiyun also raised flowers, but in the end they died and withered, and only a few pots were still alive on the balcony at home, such as cactus and spider plant, which can never die no matter how you raise them.Lin Chaosheng saw that all the green plants here are alive and well, and many of them are varieties he has never seen before. He felt a little novel, bent down to touch this plant, and looked at that plant, like a spring outing in the park to enjoy flowers Elementary school student with ADHD.

Li Zhi was amused by the fresh metaphor in his mind.

"Tao Chengyu said a long time ago that he wanted to get some pots of succulents to grow in the dormitory, but he never had time to buy them." Lin Chaosheng straightened up.

Li Zhi just wanted to say that I will give you a few pots to go back to raise and play, when Lin Chaosheng asked with interest: "Where did you buy it? Tao Chengyu and I will go and have a look some other day."

"Tingdong Flower Market." Li Zhi said.

It sounded familiar, Lin Chaosheng asked, "The one on Dongfeng Road?"

"Yes, it's quite far from here, have you been there?"

Wuzhan Road is too far away, is it only within a radius of 500 meters?Lin Chaosheng secretly slandered.

"I haven't been there, but my house is near there, so I have a little impression."

"Are you a local?" Li Zhi was a little surprised.

"Yes, if you are free, I will invite you to my house for dinner. My dad cooks delicious food."

Li Zhi smiled, "Okay."

He picked and picked in the bookcase in the bedroom, and finally found three books, none of which were very thick, and handed them all to Lin Chaosheng, "These books are quite interesting, and I will also refer to them in my tutor's lectures in the future. If you Take a look if you are interested, if you are not interested... use it to press instant noodles."

"Don't worry, I will press the instant noodles after I finish reading." Lin Chaosheng couldn't help laughing.

Lin Chaosheng got the book and was ready to go back to school. He said thoughtfully: "Don't go downstairs, you will have to climb up later, it will be even more tiring."

"..." Li Zhi insisted, "I'm not very tired either."

"Wait a minute," Li Zhi remembered something again. He walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, and took out a transparent plastic box, which was filled with agate-like crystal clear pink pomegranate seeds.

Yesterday, the senior sister gave him two big pomegranates. Today at noon, Li Zhi was lazy and cut up the two big pomegranates at once, carefully peeled and peeled the seeds, ate a small part, and put the rest in a plastic box. Store in the refrigerator.

"It's super sweet, take it home and eat it."

This time Lin Chaosheng did not shirk, and accepted it happily.He held three books in one hand, and a plastic box filled with pomegranate seeds in the other, which was cold.

Lin Chaosheng went downstairs alone.

Li Zhi stood in front of the window, staring at the leaves that were dyed golden yellow under the dim streetlight.After waiting for a while, I saw Lin Chaosheng passing under the tree, past the lamp above his head and the dark shadow of the tree on the ground.

It wasn't until the tall and thin figure disappeared from sight that Li Zhi left from the window.

The phone on the table vibrated twice, and he walked over to check it.

Lin Chaosheng: gone

Lin Chaosheng: Go to bed early

At this time, Li Zhi suddenly had an illusion that they seemed to have become very familiar old friends.
