Second first love

Under the orange rain curtain, a head poked out from the milk tea shop, she was a little impatient: "Hey, don't make noise here, stop people from doing business."

Out of the corner of his eye, Lin You glanced, this girl had newly dyed exaggerated blue hair, but her appearance was familiar no matter how she looked.Seeing people staring at her, she habitually licked the corners of her mouth.

The reflection of the tongue nail finally aroused Lin You's memory, and he asked suspiciously, "Convenience store?"

The milk tea girl looked at the two of them, flicked across a box of lubricant in her mind, and said in surprise: "Last night..."

She glanced back and forth, then raised an eyebrow, and chuckled: "Meat compensation?"

"Oh, you were the one who went crazy at the subway station this morning?" She carefully looked at Yu Xiaolan's attire, and asked meaningfully, "Just for 500 yuan?"

!!!

Lin You almost wanted to disappear on the surface of the earth immediately.

Five minutes later, he sat down in the store with his head downcast.

The milk tea girl mixed two cups of classic milk tea, confiscated the money, and said to Lin You sincerely: "I thought I was the worst mess in our party, but I didn't expect you to be added next. Sisterhood, this cup of me Please."

Lin You bowed his head and pretended to be dead.On the contrary, Yu Xiaolan said thank you, and immediately asked: "Aren't you working in a convenience store?"

"Part-time job." She rolled her eyes, "I don't have enough money."

"Then your main job..."

"Music band, keyboard player." She scooped up a spoonful of pudding and dunked it into the cups of the two of them. "The pearls haven't boiled soft yet, just order it, brother."

"..."

"You don't know how fucking unlucky I am this year." After getting acquainted, the visual girl who was eager to try in the milk tea girl began to let go of herself, kicking the refrigerator cursingly: "I signed the contract and went south, but just landed Nima's agent ran away Yes, the studio still owes a huge amount of X debt."

"Aren't you a keyboard player? It's pretty cool to teach piano now..." Lin You looked up, but was glared at by the other party.

"Teaching the piano? Are you kidding me? No one even wants to play the electronic piano for restaurants." The vicious blue-haired girl was poked at the pain point, turned the muzzle, and bombed indiscriminately.

"Maybe... it's an image problem."

"What's wrong with the image?" Milk Tea Girl completely turned into a fire-breathing tyrannosaurus, and said angrily, "This is called visual kei! Visual kei! You people with no artistic cells have fish lips."

"Hey, I want to drink milk tea, but that sister is so fierce..." The little boy wandering around the door curled his lips and cried.

His mother protected his head with one hand while walking quickly: "Oh, don't cry, don't cry. Next time we see gangsters, we will stay away."

The milk tea girl in Erkang's hand was weathered in pieces behind them, completely wilted.

She looked at the time, took off her apron dejectedly, and said, "Hey, there's no business in the morning, watch the 2-minute shop for me, I'll go next door and make a public phone..."

The only buffer was taken away, and Lin You completely degenerated into Lin Tunsun, holding the milk tea tremblingly, and said tremblingly: "Then what... I don't owe usury."

Yu Xiaolan frowned and looked at his white and thread-washed clothes, thinking of the lawless Lin You, it seemed impossible to connect the two of them together: "Then why did you become like this?"

"Gambling..." Lin You opened his mouth and came, but saw the other party's eyes were dangerous, so he changed his words temporarily, "Stock trading..."

"Tell me the truth!"

Lin You was too cowardly in front of Yu Xiaolang, and said honestly, "I broke up with my partner."

Yu Xiaolan narrowed her eyes: "If you break up, you can go bankrupt? What about that person?"

"Dead." Lin You shrugged nonchalantly, that guy is no different from dead, if he really died, he could save himself some trouble.

"..."

Yu Xiaolan paused for a moment, then remembered something again: "That white hair just now..."

"I am the tutor."

Lin You is like an abacus, flicking it and moving it, he doesn't skip a single word that is redundant.

"You, you and your mentor... what a beast!" Yu Xiaolang was startled and angry.

Lin You nodded this time, agreeing with the other party's statement very much, and briefly concluded: "It's a beast, so I also broke it."

"Then you and that partner..." The topic came back again, but Lin You didn't answer.

Yu Xiaolan, who was eaten by this rascal rabbit as weeds at the edge of the nest, is now very suspicious of Lin You's integrity, and snapped his fingers, "Mentor, partner, and that Mr. Xu...how many times have you held?" ?”

Lin You blinked, and silently stared at the other party with a pair of peach blossom eyes, trying to divert attention.

Yu Xiaolan knew that this was his trick, but when he saw that his face was so thin that there was only a pair of dark eyes, he immediately lost his temper.

After being silent for a while, he started another topic: "Are you... still painting?"

Lin Youzhou's fingertips were clean, and there was no trace of paint on him. He felt a slip of the tongue and was a little embarrassed.

Lin You didn't care, he spun around on the swivel chair twice, and said with a contented smile, "Occasionally. I've been very busy recently."

"busy?"

"Work, you have to make ends meet." Lin You looked at the time and said, "I have to go to the company later."

"What are you doing now? You've made it so hard." Yu Xiaolan frowned disapprovingly, "I can't even get out a few hundred dollars. Thinking about your painting..."

Lin You's expression remained unchanged, and he interrupted him indifferently: "XX animation is a small outsourcing company. Don't mention the past - I'm getting old, and the aura is gone, so naturally I can't get ahead. I'm just fooling around."

He jumped off the stool and waved his hand: "Your five hundred, I will pay you back when I get my salary next week."

"Wait." Yu Xiaolan saw that he was about to "wave his sleeve without taking away a cloud", so he hurriedly got up and shouted, "Wait!"

Lin You turned around and looked at him quietly in front of the glass door.

Yu Xiaolan opened his mouth and closed it again. After a while, he took out the dark blue lighter from his trouser pocket: "You left it with me yesterday."

Lin You looked at this gadget calmly. It was a very old zippo with a smooth surface, as if it had been rubbed countless times. In the corner behind it, two obscure initials were engraved: X·L.

He raised his head and smiled suddenly: "This is not mine, I picked it up by the side of the road, you can throw it away."

Yu Xiaolan's hand slowly dropped down, he tugged his trouser legs a little uneasy, and said in a low voice: "I didn't care about the previous things, you don't have to feel that you owe me anything."

Lin You didn't speak, just nodded.

"Also, your phone was turned off this morning. I couldn't find you..."

Lin You interrupted him neatly, and said very flatly: "Xiaolan, I can't make up for you except for the bed. I accept your kindness, but I know what I owe you. Anything in the future I won't refuse even if you come to me. But if it's all right, then...don't contact me. "

This long-lost address made Yu Xiaolan get goosebumps all over his body, and what he said after that made his heart go cold little by little.

His face changed back and forth between pain and anger, Lin You staggered his eyes, shrank his neck and walked out.

Seeing the other party holding the glass door, Yu Xiaolan finally blurted out, as if pleading, he called out in a low voice: "Brother Yu."

Lin You trembled slightly, and turned his face slightly. The young man was standing in the sun-drenched hall, like a warm luminous body.

Feeling lost in his heart, he sighed, it was too late.Immediately, he pushed open the door without hesitation, and walked head-on into the scorching sun.

------------

Lin You still didn't go to the company.

He wandered out of the consulting room, hesitated for a while at the prescription window, and finally threw the bill into the trash can, and walked out empty-handed.

Diagonally opposite the bus station, there is a small art supply store.He noticed it when he came, and there were four large characters "clearance sale" written crookedly on it.

The lights in the store were not even turned on, and the drawing board clips were piled up randomly, and the paints of various colors were piled up like a hill.

Lin You stood on the concrete floor, looking at the dimly lit window for a long time, finally took a basket of paint, and asked hesitantly, "How much are these?"

The young artist behind the counter has long hair and is playing computer with his legs crossed.Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced, stretched out his fingers to pluck in the basket, and said casually: "More than 200, let's count it as your two hundred."

Lin You black line, no wonder this store can not continue to open.

He grabbed some miscellaneous goods such as turpentine, primer, scraper, and several canvases of different materials.

The artistic youth didn't even bother to look at it, and opened his mouth to ask the price: "Two hundred and five."

Before he finished speaking, someone seemed to be yelling in the earpiece, he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Hi, it's not about you, it's not about you."

Then he raised his head and signaled the other party to give the money with his eyes.

Lin You counted out a few banknotes and pressed them on the counter, and poured the box into a torn plastic bag by himself, clutching the last dozen or so pieces, and slipped out of this surrealist art supplies store.

He walked slowly along the road, thinking about what to do with the remaining dozen or so dollars to get through the week.

Suddenly, the car horn behind him beeped.

He wanted to run on a conditioned reflex, and he shrank his neck and looked back, relieved - it turned out that it was not the crazy black car, but a big and thick Hummer.

The car stopped steadily beside him, with the windows rolled down. Comrade Xu Wenchang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was sitting in the driver's seat. He smiled at him, raised his chin, and said, "Come on, I'll give you a ride."

It is also good to save two yuan on the bus, Lin You opened the door like a friend.

Xu Wenchang seemed to have just returned from vacation, his skin was tanned, but his figure was as good as ever, and the wrist exposed from the cuff of his shirt looked very strong.

"You went on vacation?"

"Why do you come to our hospital?"

The two spoke at the same time, Xu Wenchang took the initiative to take a step back, and said with a smile: "I was on a woolen vacation, I went to a meeting overseas, and I just came back. What about you? Long time no see, I ran into it on the way home from get off work."

Lin You never expected that the other party would work in this hospital.They had an appointment half a year ago on Bu Lu Di, and both of them were very satisfied, so they maintained a relatively regular relationship—as a bed partner, he only knew that he was a doctor, and that was all.

Lin You curled his lips: "I have a cold."

Xu Wenchang heard that his voice was clear and he didn't seem to be seriously ill, so he felt relieved and said, "Don't come to the hospital for such a minor illness, so as not to infect other serious illnesses."

Glancing at the bag in his hand again, he said with a smile, "Oh, so you are studying art?"

Lin You recalled that his vest seemed to be a student, so he raised the corners of his mouth in embarrassment and laughed.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Xu Wenchang drove the car to the city without asking any further questions.The first autumn rain fell outside the window, the sky turned dark, the traffic flow was sluggish, and dots of red light were distorted and refracted by the water droplets, making people's faces bright and dark.

It is said that looking at a beautiful woman under the lamp, Lin You's face was imprinted with the water on the glass, which made her eyebrows and eyes more delicate, her skin was delicate, her chin was thinned out to a pointy bottom, and there was a thrilling arc when she raised her head.

"My ex-wife took our daughter away, and there's no one at home now." His bony fingers clasped the steering wheel, and he said casually.

Lin You didn't answer, he was thinking about the small shop full of sunshine and the young man standing there a few hours ago.

After a while, he said with some difficulty: "Another day, I have a cold."

Dr. Xu raised his eyebrows, turned to look at him, and teased, "Oh, are you sure you don't need Dr. Xu to check it for you?"

"Get out of here." Lin You cursed with a smile, and slapped him casually, "You're not serious, Dr. Xu, huh?"

Xu Wenchang shrank his head knowingly, and was just begging for mercy after being hit so hard.

Lin You became lively again, he thought, this is a good lover who has no responsibility or pressure.

Xu Wenchang parked the car in front of the convenience store, and gave him an umbrella from the back seat.Lin You lowered his head, his black hair slid softly over the back of his thin white neck: "Thanks, I just went shopping."

He jumped out of the car with an umbrella, and was splashed all over by a small battery of a wild racing car.

The Hummer drove away, and Lin You stood outside the bright convenience store like a drowned chicken. A handsome young man with single eyes sat on a high stool by the window. He probably just got off work, and he was sitting there idly drinking a cup of yogurt.

The two long legs dangled restlessly under the table, with the unique vivacity of young people.

Lin You seemed to be bewitched by the exuberant vitality, and stared blankly for a while.

The man's eyes turned around, as if he saw him in the shadows, but he didn't seem to, turned around unconsciously, and stared at the billboard on the tall building next door.

Lin You smiled wryly, held up his umbrella, turned around, and walked away slowly in the misty rain.

The author has something to say:

small theater

-One day after being together-

Comrade Xiaoyu who ran away: So you came to find me that day, didn't you?

Lin Dongsong was silent (...I just want to go home.)

Classmate Yu complained in grief and indignation: I still imagined that you waited for me downstairs for most of the night... Lin You!

Lin Tongshou (stunned, opened his mouth and came): Even if I really accidentally wandered on the street, the first thing I think of is you, baby!

Yu Xiaolan (suspicious): Really?Not that number 419?

Lin Tongsong (skin tightens): No!Absolutely not!I swear by my son!

The famous mixed-breed cat from ten countries picked up from the garbage dump, Lin Chanchan's children's shoes: Meow meow? !
