co-living together

Si Yi has no education, no job, no...has...

Whether it was there or not, Si Yi couldn't tell.

After the college entrance examination, the first thing he waited for was not the grades, but the news of his parents' divorce.

It was a rare family dinner, but his parents put the green book on the table directly. The three words "divorce certificate" were obviously only a solemn golden color, but it looked shocking.The two only said "I don't love anymore", even if they explained it.

What is "no love anymore"?Is love only love?After living together for so many years, is the blood relationship in the bones just talk?

He was forced into a bank card and brought to this house.

"From now on, life will be your own." These were the last words his father said to him.

The phone bill was charged again and again, but the familiar phone number never appeared again.When he thought he could put it down and take the initiative to call, he found that the two sets of numbers that were engraved in his heart were empty.Even the account book has become independent, and only the fixed monthly transfer reminder can make him feel that he is still cared about.

Wouldn't the home seem empty if there were people living in that empty room?As Si Yi thought about it, he pressed Enter with his fingertips.Looking forward again and again, and disappointed again and again, he is used to the days when he is alone in bed.Si Yi is not sure if he can still accept a stranger intervening in his life now.

Si Yi's life is too dull - playing games, writing, and eating takeaways delivered by Yu Lin.

He did not choose to go to college. After the results of the college entrance examination came out, he deliberately filled in the volunteers that he could not pass the exam and left the school.What's the use of learning if your brain is not smart?Originally, I could force myself to study hard, at least I can take care of my elderly parents when I grow up...

That day, he held back his grief and stood against the wall, looking at his father's determined back.The moment the door was closed, he couldn't help but fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands, his body convulsed violently, tears streaming down his fingers silently.He is only 18 years old, he has just been liberated from the cage of books, and he has just had the opportunity to get in touch with the world beyond knowledge, and he is half ashamed today.

For two days he lay on the couch, wide awake, thirsty, and hungry.

"It's time to cheer up." Si Yi told himself.

Si Yiche took a thorough shower, changed into clean clothes and went out, he had to buy something to eat.It looked like it had rained outside, and there were puddles everywhere.Si Yi lost so much energy that he was dizzy, and he walked on the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and his trouser legs were covered in mud.After walking back and forth for about 10 minutes, I finally saw a restaurant at the entrance of the community. Si Yi sat down on the bench tiredly, panting heavily.

"Hey, little brother. It's too late, there's no food." The man sitting at the counter said without looking up.

Si Yi felt physically and mentally exhausted, and implored feebly: "Boss, you can eat whatever you want. I haven't eaten for two days."

"Just wait a little longer if you don't mind."

Si Yi was woken up by someone patting him, and he fell asleep lying on the table.

"You haven't eaten for two days, drink porridge."

I saw a young man carrying a bowl of steaming rice porridge on the table.

Si Yi's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you."

Later, he became a regular customer, and Si Yi knew that the man was He Qiang, a 32-year-old bachelor, and Si Yi would respectfully call him "Uncle Qiang".

That time he stayed up all night, couldn't get up and didn't want to eat, so he released Uncle Qiang once.

He went there the next day full of apologies. When Uncle Qiang saw him, he looked like he was on fire, and raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't you come yesterday? You've only been here for a few days. Are you tired of eating?!"

How could Si Yi dare to say that he stayed up all night, and only used the excuse of being sick to win some sympathy.

He Qiang didn't like this, and exposed Si Yi mercilessly: "You played games all night, right? Look at those dark eyes!"

Si Yi didn't know what to do for a while, he regarded He Qiang as an elder, and now he is like a student who has made a mistake.

He Qiang took out a card from the counter and threw it in front of Si Yi, "Take it."

There are densely packed small characters printed on the card, the menu?

"It's just that you idiot can't see that my house is for takeout!" He Qiang raised his finger and pointed to the "Takeout Hotline" posted on the door, looking at Si Yi with a hopeless expression on his face.

Si Yi turned his head to look in the direction He Qiang was pointing at. The words on the glass door were reversed, but it didn't hinder the recognition—this shop accepts all kinds of takeaways.Immediately, his laziness became reversed, his eyes glared brightly, "Then is it okay for me to eat takeaway every day from now on?"

He Qiang was unable to accuse this ungrateful little guy, so he knocked Si Yi hard on the head and cursed: "If you want to get out, get out of here!"

Si Yi shouted with a playful smile: "Uncle Qiang, I will visit you often!"

And Yu Lin met at that time.Yu Lin is a college student who works part-time in a restaurant. He is only two years older than him, and he always forces himself to call him "Brother Lin".Si Yi gave in verbally, but he was somewhat reluctant in his heart, and it was Yu Lin Yu Lin who was behind the back.

Yu Lin was instructed by He Qiang to be in charge of delivering the food to Si Yi's family.

He Qiang knew Si Yi's situation in general, and was afraid that the child would be bored in the house for a long time and would not be able to integrate into this society again.He has experienced that feeling - he eats and sleeps like an old man who has lost the ability to live every day. Life is never new, and it even makes him gradually lose the instinct to communicate with people... Si Yi has just been here not long ago , can find a lively leader, young people have a lot of topics, and they will definitely not follow his mistakes.

Although Yu Lin has never experienced this kind of life, He Qiang's sadness can be heard between the lines.Seeing that Si Yi was still young, his heart softened, so he chatted with Si Yi every day when delivering food, and the effect was good.

Si Yi had to admit that Yu Lin was a very sunny person, and his poor background couldn't hide his bright smile.Of course, sometimes it can get pretty nasty.I remember that half a month after they met, Yu Lin taught him a serious lesson: "If you can't make money in bed, then don't stay in bed." (Note ①)

This sentence is now posted by Si Yi as a famous quote on the bedside.

It's not that Si Yi didn't try to find a job in the past, but he has no education and no special skills, so he really has no other suitable job besides being a waiter.However, since he was born and raised since childhood, he always has the arrogance of a city person, and Si Yi really can't let go of that airs.There was no shortage of money for the time being, so Si Yi gave up this idea.

After being told by Yu Lin, Si Yi seemed to be enlightened—"Brother Lin, please advise!"

Yu Lin just saw this sentence on the Internet and quoted it casually. He didn't expect Si Yi to be more serious. He remembered that Peng Yu was playing games to make money and told Si Yi. He completely forgot about the harm caused by Internet addiction.

Si Yi doesn't know how to play games, and he never thought that playing games can also make money.Hearing what Yu Lin said, he only played games to relieve his boredom.Unexpectedly, by chance, he really made a lot of money, and he is very grateful to Yu Lin.

As for writing, the grades are so-so, so let's not mention it for the time being.

Lin Zhinian ran for two streets before finding a copy shop. After getting everything ready, he knocked on the door of Si Yi's bedroom.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Si Yi had just finished trading a group of silver mines with someone, and thought it was a new sound effect from the game.

Seeing the light shining through the crack of the door, Lin Zhinian knocked on the door and asked, "Si Yi, are you in?"

Is this calling your own name?Si Yi tentatively replied, "Please come in."

As soon as Lin Zhinian opened the door, he frowned disgusted by the strange smell in the room.Involuntarily glanced at the trash can in the corner, which was full of white lunch boxes.Looking up again, the person he was looking for was actually sitting safely on the bed, with no intention of getting down at all.

Suppressing the feeling of nausea, Lin Zhinian stepped forward and put the things on the desk full of snacks, and said to Si Yi: "I will put the things you want on your desk, and there is my mobile phone number in it. Get in touch and tell me."

"Oh."

Oh it's over?Seeing that Si Yi was unwilling to even raise his eyelids to look at him, Lin Zhinian let out a cold snort and walked back to his room.

There was a "bang" when the door closed, and Si Yi shuddered.Seeing out of the corner of his eye that there was indeed no one there, Si Yi raised his head and let out a long breath of relief.Wiping the cold sweat off his palms against the quilt, Si Yi crawled to the end of the bed, supported the edge of the bed with one hand, stretched his arms and put them on the desk, grabbed the bundle of things and shrank back under the quilt.

Keys, rent, photocopies.Si Yi shook the piece of paper away, and read the name again: "Lin Zhinian." It turned out to be Lin Zhinian.Si Yi couldn't distinguish between nasal and side sounds, and it always felt awkward when he read it. He said it to the air a few times before he was relieved.Picking up the phone and carefully saving the group of numbers written on the header, Si Yi put away the things together and opened the bedside table.

Just as he was about to stuff it in, Si Yi withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and beat his own head bitterly, why did he still forget!

No matter, just supply him tomorrow.Si Yi covered his head with the quilt, squinted and fell asleep.

Si Yi rarely went out, except to visit He Qiang.

"Uncle Qiang, I'm coming to see you!"

He Qiang didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, and mocked in a long voice: "Did you finish your snacks today, or is the trash can full?"

Si Yi shyly went to help He Qiang clean up the table, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Qiang, where is there a printing shop? I want to print something."

He Qiang was straightforward, explained the address in detail, and added a sentence at the end: "Call me again if you can't find it."

Si Yi searched for the address and walked around in circles in the cold wind for more than an hour. When he got out of the printing shop, he became dizzy again, so he had to drag the clerk to ask again.Followed the route home but found that it only took 20 minutes!Si Yi thought of He Qiang's tangled expression when he was about to leave. His feelings were not because he was worried about him, but because he was afraid that he couldn't help laughing!

Unable to tell how hard it is, Si Yi took out the newly printed contract from his pocket, which was quite warm.

Play a little theater:

He Qiang: "Si Yi, just ask me if you can't find anything, I have lived in this area for five or six years."

Si Yi: "Uncle Qiang, how can I get to Zehe Restaurant?"

He Qiang: "Turn right when you go out, turn right, turn right, turn right, turn right, turn right... You will find it in your lifetime!"

Si Yi: "Okay, goodbye~"

He Qiang: "Get out of here, little bastard!"
