Lin Xing raised his head suddenly, trying to meet Chi Tong's eyes in the dark.But Chi Tong turned his back to the street lamp, Lin Xing could only feel that his gaze was on him, what emotions were hidden in it, and what kind of expression Chi Tong used to say this sentence, Lin Xing couldn't see clearly.

They didn't hold hands or hug, they just stood under the same umbrella and talked even non-ambiguous words.A moment ago Lin Xing was still annoyed that he didn't find a good topic, but now Lin Xing's heart was beating fast. If it wasn't for the dense crackling sound of the gradually increasing raindrops hitting the umbrella surface, Lin Xing's heartbeat would almost overshadows everything.

Just like Chi Tong's post not long ago, pineapple-flavored ice cream, this may or may not mean anything.

But this time under such an atmosphere, Lin Xing had the courage to ask: "You said,"

A mobile phone rang suddenly, and every word that Lin Xing gathered on his lips was scattered by the ringtone. He subconsciously stopped what he was about to say, and looked down at Chi Tong's trouser pocket.

That's where the sound comes from.

Chi Tong also lowered his head and reached out to take out the phone. He saw the caller ID on the screen, obviously intending to answer the call, and handed back the umbrella to Lin Xing first: "Sorry, I want to answer this call."

Lin Xing held the umbrella handle and stood there. Seeing that Chi Tong took a few steps to the side, he stopped under the nearby streetlight.

The halo of the street lamp shone from the top of Chi Tong's head, and the thin raindrops showed obvious filaments under the light, and the outline fell on Chi Tong's hair clearly.

Lin Xing stared at his profile for a while, with the distance between him and Chi Tong, Lin Xing couldn't hear what Chi Tong was saying, only occasionally heard a few words, Chi Tong seemed to be talking to someone about something about work .

Lin Xing stepped on the flip-flops to the edge of the green flower bed next to him, and slid down again with force, the flip-flops collided with the ground and made a crackling sound.

As a result, Chi Tong looked back at him, Lin Xing immediately retracted his gaze from Chi Tong's body, and stared at the dark lake in the distance.

Chi Tong's phone call lasted three to four minutes. Although it was not long, it was enough to break Lin Xing's long-brewing emotions.

What's more, Chi Tong walked over and said: "I'm sorry, I have some work matters to go back to deal with. Thank you for entertaining me for dinner. Uncles and aunts are also very nice."

Lin Xing looked at Chi Tong and didn't speak, but he still raised the umbrella to a suitable height for Chi Tong.

He was a little awkward.

Seeing him like this, Chi Tong smiled a little more in his eyes: "I'm really sorry, I invited you to my house to play on weekends, can I take it as an apology?"

Lin Xing's eyes widened a little, as if he was a little moved.

Chi Tong said again: "I will prepare a lot of your favorite dishes in advance, I hope you can appreciate them."

Lin Xing's awkwardness was a little less: "Okay, I accept."

-

As soon as Lin Xing lay down on the bed and put on the earphones, his ears were bombarded by Xi Jiajia's voice.

"You didn't continue to ask him, such a good opportunity! When will you be able to support me! Lin Xingxing!!"

Lin Xing quickly turned down the volume.When he was chatting with Xi Jiajia just now, he told her what happened tonight, and Xi Jiajia hated him again.

Xing Xing orders a dish: But he invited me to his house to play, and he also prepared a lot of delicious food for me.

Lin Xing typed with a guilty conscience, and as expected received another verbal attack from Xi Jiajia.

"His meaning is so obvious that you don't even know how to expose it. Why don't you call him Lin Xing, and call him Lin Yu instead!"

Lin Xing didn't have the strength to fight back when he was told, but the theory was very simple, but after the current atmosphere was destroyed, it was not easy to talk about it.

Lin Xing shrank into the quilt, and in his head he admitted that he was still cowardly.I'm always afraid that Chi Tong might not have that meaning, it's okay if I don't expose it, but if I expose it, I will be embarrassing.

However, with the premise of the weekend appointment, Lin Xing passed the week quite quickly while waiting.He put the emotions of worrying about gain and loss behind his head, and spent most of his time in the library doing questions and reading books.Lin Xing is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination after graduation, which is what he spends the most time on.

After the phone call that night, Chi Tong seemed to be much busier than before. The two of them didn't even have the chance to go online to make appointments for games. On the contrary, when Lin Xing went online to collect gold coins, Jiang Chengyi pulled him into the team. Passed.

Except for Chen Zhong and Jiang Chengyi's fixed lineup, the other two parking spaces are basically other professional players of their team.Lin Xing was a little embarrassed the first time, but after playing twice, he and Jiang Chengyi became a little more familiar.

Jiang Chengyi is very talkative, and he will never be left alone when playing games with him.In private, he also added Lin Xing on WeChat, and by the way, he asked Lin Xing's name, where he was from, and where he went to college, all of which he naturally asked, as if he was full of curiosity about Lin Xing.

But because Jiang Chengyi always controlled his speech, and he was still Chi Tong's friend, Lin Xing was not guarded against him.

Until the weekend came, Chi Tong took the initiative to contact Lin Xing to pick him up and play at home.

Although the two didn't play games and didn't see each other for a week, they talked a few words on WeChat almost every day.

Lin Xing left the school in Chi Tong's car, and after the car made a big circle on the elevated road, it turned into a relatively unfamiliar location for Lin Xing.This is an old town, and many bungalows and villas are hundreds of years old.

When the car left the main road and entered the inner core area through the strict security, Lin Xing couldn't look back.

In addition to the main body of the house, the area of ​​the courtyard around each house is also astonishingly large. From the outside, it is completely impossible to see that the buildings in such an expensive location are of this style.

Chi Tong's car drove into the slowly opened metal gate. Before stopping the car, Lin Xing saw the lush and magnificent blooming flowers in the whole yard. There were all kinds of flowers, but each one was taken care of very carefully.

Today is a sunny day, but it is still early, and the flowers and plants look more beautiful and delicate in the light.

Lin Xing couldn't help sighing: "You have so many beautiful flowers."

Lin Xing likes this kind of natural but decorated scenery very much, exuding enthusiasm and vitality.

These flowers are so beautiful that Lin Xing can't help but think, will the people who live here like Gypsophila?The kind of words that serve as a foil are not very eye-catching.Because even for Lin Xing himself, Man Tianxing is not high on his favorite list.

"It was planted by the gardener at home. It has been a habit of the family for many years." Chi Tong explained.

The old gardener was hired by his grandmother when she was still alive, and she is still the same one after she passed away all these years ago.Even the flower scenery that has been taken care of has remained the same for ten years. It seems that working hard to maintain this scenery can make the living people feel that nothing has changed for a moment when they pass by here.

From old to young, the members of the Chi family always have striking similarities in some places.

Lin Xing didn't rush into the house when he got off the car, and walked around the garden.Chi Tong stood on the porch waiting for him, occasionally explaining a few words about the layout of the garden to Lin Xing.

Until Lin Xing looked up and saw a kind-looking woman walking out of the gate.Lin Xing was startled and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

He was taken aback not because the woman herself was scary, but because before he came, he brought some gifts for a door-to-door visit and asked Chi Tong about the preferences of the elders in the family. Chi Tong told him that there was no one else in the family.

But Lin Xing still asked his father to send some good tea, which is now in his hand.But if the elders in the family are women, Lin Xing feels that his gifts are not properly prepared.

Chi Tong noticed the voice behind him, and also noticed Lin Xing's reaction, and turned around to see that Aunt Liu was looking at Lin Xing curiously.

Lin Xing also walked over quickly and smiled at Aunt Liu with a standard well-behaved child: "Hello, Auntie."

Chi Tong introduced the two parties: "This is Aunt Liu who usually takes care of the family, Aunt Liu, this is Lin Xing."

Aunt Liu heard from Chi Tong two days ago that a friend was coming to the house today.

She originally thought that it was Jiang Chengyi who came here this time, and Aunt Liu even thought that she might finally bring her girlfriend back, because in the past, even if Jiang Chengyi came, Chi Tong would not order anything else, but this time he didn't even care about food and drink. Attention is paid to taste and preparation of ingredients.

For this reason, Aunt Liu did not expect a boy friend to come.

But Aunt Liu still enthusiastically said to Lin Xing: "Xiao Lin, come in quickly."

Fortunately, he was not an elder in the family, Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief, he looked up at Chi Tong again, Chi Tong had a smile in his eyes, wondering if he had seen through Lin Xing's thoughts just now.

When Lin Xing changed his shoes, he handed the tea in his hand to Chi Tong, and Chi Tong said, "I'll go and put it away."

This was something for Mr. Chi, but Chi Tong did not go to the first floor, but went straight to the second floor with tea.

Aunt Liu saw it. Lin Xing didn't find anything strange because he didn't know the layout and living habits of the Chi family.He was attracted by the furnishings of Chi's house.

Most of the furniture in the house is old, but probably because each piece is very exquisite, every piece is still untouchable by Lin Xing.However, on the coffee table, on the shoe cabinet, on the dining table, there are more or less finely trimmed and placed flowers on many table tops, which are extremely beautiful and bridge the coldness brought by the original simple furniture.

"These flowers are so beautiful." The flowers outside are full of vitality and blooming beauty, while the words inside the house are full of elegance.

Aunt Liu turned her head after hearing the words, and heard Lin Xing ask again: "Xiao Chi and his family like flowers, right?"

Aunt Liu understood why Lin Xing asked this question. Just looking at the current layout of the front yard and home, it seems that the host really likes flowers.

Huachitong at home made it clear that he didn't care about the flowers in the front yard, and even Aunt Liu was a little tired of looking at the flowers in the front yard after so many years.Flowers are beautiful, but the unchanging beauty will inevitably make people tired.

The flowers in the house were originally not intended to be continued by Aunt Liu, but when Mr. Chi saw the flowers at home a few days ago, he rarely said that the arrangement was very good. Exquisite.

But does Mr. Chi really love the beauty of flowers?Aunt Liu didn't think so, it was more like he was feeling what had passed away through the flowers.

So Aunt Liu smiled and shook her head at Lin Xing after thinking for a while: "Xiao Chi is not a flower lover, he never puts these things in his room."

This was Lin Xing's unexpected answer.

"He seems to like Gypsophila." Lin Xing asked tentatively, which was what Chi Tong himself said.

Aunt Liu seemed to think of something: "I brought home a bouquet before, but he didn't change it when the flowers withered. He said he doesn't like baby's breath."

Aunt Liu concluded her conjecture: "Maybe it's just that the bouquet of flowers is special."
