Joy begets sorrow(1/2)
Dou Xun remained silent for a while.
Xu Xilin leaned against him and felt Dou Xun's body was warm, and his eyelids started to fight as soon as he raised and lowered his eyes. Dou Xun lowered his head and sniffed his lips, only smelling the mint flavor of toothpaste, and basically no smell of alcohol: "No.
Why are you so sleepy after drinking so much?"
"I stayed up all night at school last night, and today I went to see my grandpa again..." Xu Xilin's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, and in the end he was almost inaudible.
Dou Xun smelled something wrong on his body. He might have seen the gift of shower gel thrown aside, so he picked it up and used it. Dou Xun was a little uncomfortable, so he hugged him and rubbed him around, trying to rub away the unfamiliar scent.
After a while, Dou Xun depressedly remembered the little peach heart that felt stuck in his throat just now, and suddenly asked Xu Xilin confusedly: "...Why is it a good thing not to have a mother-in-law?"
Xu Xilin struggled to hold up his eyelids that were sleepy and said: "What?"
Dou Xun said: "I saw Yu Yiran left a message for you, saying that you will definitely be in demand in the future because 'you have a house, a car, but no mother-in-law'."
Xu Xilin was stunned for a moment, then woke up, buried his face in Dou Xun's belly, and started laughing wildly.
Dou Xun looked down at him in confusion, and Xu Xilin reached out and slapped him on the lower back: "Did your mother-in-law treat you badly back then? She had no conscience."
After saying that, Xu Xilin turned over, squinted at Dou Xun under the light for a while, and suddenly asked: "Who told you what?"
Xu Xilin was so sharp that Dou Xun was stunned for a moment, and then a deep sense of frustration filled his heart.
Dou Xun thought for a while, but he really didn't know how to test around corners, so he had to tell the truth: "A girl stuffed a box of chocolates in your bag."
Xu Xilin blinked, hooked his schoolbag with his foot, and pulled out the iconic nail polish chocolate.
Dou Xun waited quietly to hear what he had to say.
But Xu Xilin pinched the chocolate box, looked at it, and threw it aside without explaining anything. He just made a sad face in a very exaggerated manner, sighed and said: "Your handsome boy Xu is so handsome and so popular, what should I do?
I'm really worried about you."
Dou Xun: "..."
"Be nice to me, or you'll run away with someone else." Xu Xilin said earnestly, raising his hand to hold Dou Xun's head, "Can you take the CET-6 exam in two days for me? Okay, that's a happy deal.
Already."
Dou Xun: "...get out."
A shameless thing.
After the weekend, Dou Xun returned to school. In the morning, he felt that the weight of his backpack was not right. When he went to school and opened it, he found a box of twenty-four chocolates stuffed in his bag. Xu Xilin had no nail polish. He didn't know where to start from.
I pulled out a roll of insulating tape, cut out a yellow heart, and covered half of the box. It was like an infinity.
The second brother Qingsheng happened to see it and asked with a toothache: "...A girl is chasing you?"
This girl's aesthetics are really brutal. What the hell, I absolutely can't have it.
Dou Xun stuffed the chocolate back into his bag and nodded calmly: "My wife."
The second brother immediately forced out a smile of praise: "You look very simple at first glance. Young man, you have great vision!"
Dou Xun took two pills after class and happened to see a new notice downstairs in his dormitory.
Registration for the postgraduate summer camp has begun, and a sense of chaos and chaos as a graduate rushes into my face.
It was a hot day, and everyone was feeling a little sluggish. They were worriedly weighing their future amidst all the messy information about job hunting and studying. The chocolate melted a little, lingering on the tip of the tongue, it was too sweet, and started to taste a little bitter in the end.
Dou Xun was stunned for a while at the new notice. Before he could figure out whether he should continue his studies or find a job, they began to force him to move forward. Dou Xun had grown up so big, and this was the first time he had tasted "
The feeling of being pushed by time.
Dou Xun remembered that Xu Xilin often talked about how much money he would make, what he would do next year, what he would do the year after, and what he would do after graduation. Sometimes he would also help him plan a path that sounded simple and easy to understand.
He vetoed it with disdain, but it turned out that he could only veto and criticize, and he still doesn't have his own ideas.
In this summer of cicada chirping, Dou Xun suddenly realized his naivety - Xu Xilin had been trying every means to accommodate him and take care of him, including his relationship and future.
While men take care of, love and protect each other, there will inevitably be some overt or covert comparison.
Normally, this small comparison would have no sense of existence. It only quietly surfaced after Dou Xun's always domineering self-confidence was slightly damaged.
Xu Xilin's care did not make Dou Xun feel sweet, but an unprecedented panic arose in his heart.
The miser finally discovered that the door to his vault was unlocked.
Dou Xun thought, what if Xu Xilin gets tired and annoyed one day?
If someone else likes Xu Xilin, he doesn't need to accommodate him, nor does he need to take care of him, and he never makes him angry...then why can I keep him?
Dou Xun used to feel that everyone in the world was stupid, but he understood that he had never experienced such a sense of crisis among ordinary people.
It wasn't until his resume fell into the dust countless times just because of the words "insufficient undergraduate degree" that Dou Xun, who had "understood" for twenty years, realized that he himself was one of thousands of ignorant mortals, and he was not very good at that.
Likeable mortals.
When he grows up, he is neither a god nor a child...
Six years ago, Dou Xun had tried so hard to prevent him from skipping a grade. Dou Xun only understood this now, but it was already a bit late.
Probably because he had been thinking too deeply during this period, when he went home that night, Dou Xun, who had never had anything in his mind, had a nightmare for the first time. He dreamed that Xu Xilin got married, and married a man who was wrapped up like a mummy and could not see his face.
Women, the two of them were standing together numbly. It didn't look festive. Wu Tao was the master of ceremonies. Dou Xun rushed forward impatiently. Before he could speak, Wu Tao showed the same obscene and suggestive face he had when he was grilling skewers that day, and looked at her with disdain.
Smiling at him.
The blurry-faced people around him were all looking at him and laughing, and Xu Xilin was also laughing. Xu Xilin in the dream couldn't think about it for some reason, so he combed his hair in a small parting with oil, and dressed himself up like a classic traitor. His smile didn't look like that of a traitor.
He himself is a bit like Dou Junliang.
Dou Xun's heart seemed to be blocked by a brick of ice. He could no longer breathe more and more. He was almost going crazy because of the suffocation. After struggling for a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes... and found that the culprit was Xu Xilin, who was holding him down with a sideways arm.
on his chest.
Dou Xun let out a long breath and moved his arm away, but his heart was still roaring violently. The sorrow and anger in the dream lingered. Dou Xun reached back and turned down the air conditioner by two degrees, and then used the dim light in the room to
He tilted his head and looked at the sleeping Xu Xilin——
Fortunately, he still has a young and handsome face, and does not have Dou Junliang's oily face at all.
Dou Xun got into Xu Xilin's quilt as if he was crazy, and stretched out his arms to hug him as if to confirm. His hand was too strong, and it was uncomfortable. Xu Xilin was too sleepy to wake up, and unconsciously struggled away, rolled out of the quilt, and slipped.
Went to the bottom of the wall and faced the wall.
Dou Xun sat lonely and stared at his back for a while, then threw the quilt on him and occupied another corner with a heavy heart.
The width of a large single bed allows two people to sleep, and there is actually a distance of two palms in the middle.
Sleeping can be said to be very energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
But Xu Xilin didn't notice Dou Xun, who was especially silent during this period. He was really too busy to care about it——
"Vitamins" was very successful in the early stage, and orders were rising every month. Xu Xilin opened a message board under the website.
Every day, a group of idle college students finish ordering fruit and chat about it below. Considering that the merchants, waiters and customers are all classmates, the entire "Vitamin" website has a special harmonious atmosphere. It is not like a commercial website, but more like a group of big kids playing in a serious way.
"Playing house", the message board is completely an internal campus irrigation forum.
Some expressed their feelings, some complained about the slippery floor in the cafeteria, some complained about the difficulty in homework and exams, and some called on everyone to oppose the resumption of closed-book courses in political education!
A while ago, a classmate left a message on the message board, saying that it would be great if "vitamins" were not just delivered with fruits, but it triggered a lively discussion. Some suggested that they deliver it with takeout, and some were too lazy to do it.
The dead man at the school gate suggested that they take orders to help purchase daily necessities. There were also a few "fruit guys" who were afraid of chaos and hoped that vitamins could help bring flowers to the girls' dormitories when delivering fruits and express their love by mail.
At first Xu Xilin didn't pay attention to it, but then the crowd's voice became louder and louder. Some students did nothing by themselves and had great imaginations. They sat in the dormitory and imagined a complete industry chain for "vitamins" and wrote
A planning document of 5,000 words.
That kid may have some talent for MLM. Reading his plan gives people the illusion that this small website based on the school will soon break out of Asia and go global, beating the Hong Kong motherboard and kicking Nasdaq.
!
"Vitamin" was founded with the support and protection of the school. Although it has the word "entrepreneurship" in it, the essence is "entrepreneurship" in the ivory tower. It is not so much a business as a special one.
In the final analysis, internship is not the same as the difficulty of actually breaking into the society. Xu Xilin originally understood this, but the success from the beginning to the present was so vigorous that he inevitably became a little dizzy.
Xu Xilin was inspired by the planning letter and couldn't help but want to give it a try. He planned to undertake daily necessities purchasing services. In the future, he would go to the Wal-Mart supermarket closest to the school to purchase every week, and charge a small service fee based on the size of the order.
Xu Xilin did not want to make a profit through this business. He had a wonderful idea. He planned to open up a larger market for himself through this popular service and expand the market through the complementation of different businesses. If this model is good, he also plans to
Before graduating from senior year, Xu Xilin set his sights on a bigger stage - Xu Xilin stared at universities across the city and wanted to truly develop his own brand after graduation.
This summer vacation, both of us are very busy.
Xu Xilin, who was extremely ambitious, went to update his website and prepare a new business platform while taking the driver's license test. Xu Jin left a car that year. His grandmother originally wanted to sell it, but Xu Xilin didn't want to part with it. He kept it in his basement and looked for it regularly.
People maintain it, just use it as a supermarket purchasing agent.
Dou Xun finally participated in the graduate school summer camp. At the same time, he did not give up on finding a job. He kept submitting resumes for internships and jobs, and participated in a lot of futile online written tests.
The summer camp ended soon. Dou Xun had never messed up in his studies. He had a very solid foundation and successfully passed two rounds of exams. A teacher hinted that there was nothing wrong with him. There was still no progress in finding a job, so he gave him feedback.
They are all positions that seem unreliable at first glance.
However, the results at school gave Dou Xun some comfort, slightly alleviating his repeated self-doubts over the past few days, and briefly relieved him from the pervasive gloom.
Dou Xun was about to go home when Xu Xilin sent a text message at the right time: "I passed the second subject and the sixth level of naked/running. Come back soon and bring you something good to eat!"
Dou Xun got a "good" message back, but before he could send it, he received the next message from Xu Xilin: "I got 427 in the exam!"
Dou Xun: "..."
To be continued...
