The cafe was very quiet at this time, there were not many customers, and it seemed a little deserted.
Luo Xuan sat at the back by the window as usual. There was an old locust tree outside the window.
Today she is wearing a blue knitted sweater, a white scarf around her neck, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses on her delicate face, exuding an intellectual beauty from the inside out.
Walking in, Xu Ziyin nodded and said with a smile.
"Sister Xuan, long time no see."
Looking for the sound, Luo Xuan raised her head. She pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose to see the person clearly, and then she said in surprise.
"Xu Ziyin, why are you here?"
"Haha, I happened to pass by here and glanced here subconsciously. I didn't expect Sister Xuan to be here."
After hearing Xu Ziyin's words, Luo Xuan recalled the scene when the two of them met for the first time in this cafe, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"What do you want to drink? I'll treat you."
"Anything is fine."
Sitting down generously across from him, Xu Ziyin noticed that the book in Luo Xuan's hand was one of the ten books he had read carefully during this period.
So he joked.
"Sister Xuan, are you also watching the fifteenth year of Wanli?"
also?
Catching this word, Luo Xuan said doubtfully.
"Xu Ziyin, have you read this book too?"
"Well, I was bored during the Spring Festival, so I happened to be interested in books on this topic, so I read through them."
Seeing that Xu Ziyin's words didn't seem to be lying, Luo Xuan suddenly started to think about teaching.
"Then tell me about the centralized system mentioned in this book."
Xu Ziyin was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Sister Xuan, do you think I am your student?"
Even so, Xu Ziyin still started talking.
Luo Xuan looked at the confident young man opposite and listened quietly. It wasn't until Xu Ziyin finished summarizing that Luo Xuan shook her head slightly.
"I didn't expect you to understand it quite thoroughly."
As she said that, she was stunned for a moment, and then said in deep thought.
"Xu Ziyin, since you know this book very well, I will be giving a lecture at the University of Science and Technology next weekend. The content of the lecture will be about this book. How about you come and be my assistant?"
"Of course, there is a reward."
Luo Xuan's idea is actually very simple.
She originally needed to recruit assistants to hold lectures.
Originally, she was going to choose one of the students, but now that she learned that Xu Ziyin was very involved in this book, she might as well choose him directly.
After all, Luo Xuan knew that Xu Ziyin was short of money.
Otherwise, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy would not be willing to rent himself out to make money.
After hearing what Luo Xuan said, Xu Ziyin felt a little embarrassed.
He really wasn't interested in lectures or assistants. He didn't talk about the fifteenth year of Wanli to show off, he just picked a random topic.
However, seeing the woman opposite staring at him calmly, Xu Ziyin finally couldn't bear to refuse.
"Then thank you Sister Xuan for taking care of me."
…………
…………
The sun sets.
After deciding to give a lecture next week, Xu Ziyin and Luo Xuan chatted for a while in the cafe.
As they chatted, Xu Ziyin's topic couldn't help but turn to blind dates again.
"Sister Xuan, are you going on a blind date during this time?"
Hearing this, Luo Xuan still had a smile on her face, but there was a hint of bitterness lingering in her heart.
According to Chinese custom, celebrating the Spring Festival is equivalent to being one year older.
When I was a child, I looked forward to the Chinese New Year the most, so that I could receive a lot of lucky money and eat lots of delicious food wherever I went to visit relatives.
But as I grew up, I began to hate the Chinese New Year.
Because celebrating the New Year means that I have become one year older.
She might not take it seriously, but the strange looks in her parents' and relatives' eyes seemed a little different to Luo Xuan.
When they were young, parents hoped that their children would grow up and find a good job.
But when everything is really stable, marriage becomes the biggest headache.
Luo Xuan is thirty-four years old this year and is already at an age when women decline rapidly.
She may still be beautiful in appearance, but her state of mind is no longer what it was before.
Seeing that Luo Xuan was silent and the expression on her face was a little subtle, Xu Ziyin knew that he had said the wrong thing.
"Sister Xuan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"nothing."
With a faint smile, Luo Xuan replied nonchalantly.
"No more blind dates."
"As you said before, rather than randomly finding a man who is not suitable for you and dealing with him for the rest of your life, it is better to be alone and relax."
Just as he was talking, it suddenly started raining outside the window.
The light rain was like cow hair, falling densely from the sky, and the slow pace of pedestrians suddenly accelerated.
Looking at the light rain outside the window, Luo Xuan felt emotional.
"This must be the first rain of the year, right?"
"Yes, after this rain, I guess spring will come."
Xu Ziyin agreed, then added another sentence.
"The drizzle in February makes the spring cold, and the cold spring breeze is hard to bear."
Luo Xuan was startled when she heard this and said in surprise.
"You wrote it?"
"How is it possible? I don't have this level."
After laughing, Xu Ziyin explained.
"I don't know which book I read it in, but it just seemed to fit the mood of the rain, so I read it out casually."
Luo Xuan asked with an understatement.
"What about Xiaqiao?"
Xu Ziyin didn't show any concern and just blurted it out.
"The deep love left me alone, and I wrote a new poem to offer it to Yunshan."
After saying that, Xu Ziyin turned to look at the woman beside him and smiled.
"Sister Xuan, shall I leave first? I'll have something to do later."
"good."
Luo Xuan did not leave him alone. After Xu Ziyin's back disappeared from sight, she returned her gaze to the book in her hand.
The handwriting on the book remained the same, but Luo Xuan's state of mind could no longer be immersed in it.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the quiet cafe, then turned to look at the drizzle outside the window.
Suddenly he let out a long sigh.
………
It rained non-stop.
After staying in the cafe for half an hour and seeing that there was still no sign of the rain stopping, Luo Xuan felt helpless.
The apartment she lives in is not far from here, so she did not choose to drive today.
Now that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, it is naturally not appropriate to go home in the rain.
Just when she was considering whether to get a drip, a figure suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Xu Ziyin turned back again.
"Sister Xuan, I just noticed that you didn't bring an umbrella, and you didn't seem to be driving. Looking at the rain, I don't know when it will stop."
"You can take this umbrella and use it first."
After saying that, Xu Ziyin didn't wait for her reply, put the umbrella in his hand next to Luo Xuan's table, and then turned around and left the cafe.
My eyes followed Xu Ziyin as he walked out of the store.
Luo Xuan's eyes froze for a long time as she watched him put his hands on top of his head and disappear at the corner of the street in three steps and two steps at a time.
…………
Return to the jewelry store.
Xixi threw herself into Xu Ziyin's arms again, brushing away the water droplets from his hair with her small hands while saying coquettishly.
"Brother, where were you just now?"
"I met a friend and gave her an umbrella."
Xu Ziyin replied casually.
After saying yes, Xixi didn't ask any further questions and just curled up in his arms.
Because of the rain, there were not many customers in the store.
Yun Xianyu stood at the counter calculating today's business situation.
Her eyes were extremely serious and her brows were furrowed. Even if it was a difference of one or two yuan, she would carefully calculate it several times.
Xu Ziyin saw it interestingly, put down Xixi and walked to her side.
He pinched her cheek with two fingers and pulled gently.
Yun Xianyu didn't move, she just raised her little face and looked at him.
Xu Ziyin stretched out his other hand and pinched Xiao Xianyu's other cheek.
After playing like this for a while, Xu Ziyin smiled.
"Xianyu, what are you having for dinner?"
Hearing this, Yun Xianyu's eyes slightly curved and she said softly.
"What do you want to eat?"
"I'm fine with that. How about eating out tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Xianyu waved her hands quickly.
"No, go home and eat."
"I have them all at home."
The tone was still weak, but it seemed extremely convincing.
Xu Ziyin knew that she must feel bad about spending money again.
………
Walking on the way home.
Looking at the picture of two beauties, one big and one small, holding umbrellas and walking slowly through the stagnant water in the rain, Xu Ziyin suddenly remembered a sentence.
There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. When we meet by chance, it suits my wishes.
He suddenly felt that such a life was really beautiful.
"Big brother, come quickly."
At this moment, Xixi turned around, with a sweet smile on her face, and waved to Xu Ziyin.
Xu Ziyin walked forward quickly.
So Xixi walked towards home, holding the two most important people in her life, one on the left and the other on the right.
After returning home, Xu Ziyin and Xixi sat on the carpet and played with toys, while Yun Xianyu went to the kitchen to start cooking dinner.
About an hour later, a sumptuous dinner was put on the table.
During the dinner, Xu Ziyin thought of the sports meeting, looked at Xianyu and asked.
"Xianyu, the school will hold a spring sports meeting in April, do you want to participate?"
Xu Ziyin's original intention was that he wanted Xianyu to participate in this kind of collective activity.
He felt that Xiao Xianyu's life was too monotonous.
It was so monotonous that there was almost no room for anything else in her world.
Maybe this is in line with her personality, but in Xu Ziyin's opinion, this may not be a healthy living condition.
Hearing this, Yun Xianyu raised her head and looked at Xu Ziyin.
While looking at each other, she understood Xu Ziyin's thoughts, so she nodded gently and said "Hello".
"Then what project are you going to participate in?"
"About 400 meters."
Running?
Xu Ziyin was a little surprised.
Speaking of which, it seemed that he had never seen Yun Xianyu running since he met her.
It seems that every time I see her, she is walking softly and slowly with small steps.
It seems quite interesting to think about the scene of her walking swiftly on the green field.
Perhaps she knew what he was thinking, Yun Xianyu lowered her head and whispered.
"Actually, I run very fast."
"Yeah?"
After laughing, Xu Ziyin did not continue the topic.
After a warm dinner, Xu Ziyin accompanied Sister Yun Xianyu to watch TV in the living room for a while before leaving and returning to his apartment.
………
It was already around nine o'clock in the evening when I got home.
It was raining outside, and it was so late and there were no other activities. Xu Ziyin could only call his good friends and start to continue traveling in the canyon.
Of course, there used to be two people, but now there are five people.
After a while, the five-person team was assembled.
As soon as he entered the team voice, Xiaoyun's roaring voice was already ringing in the headset, and from time to time, one or two dirty jokes would come out.
Of course, the person being joked about was basically Xu Ziyin.
Song Shi listened happily and never thought about helping her man.
This current situation has become the main theme of their five-member team.
Why is Xu Ziyin the only boy in the team?
After playing like this for about two or three games, we saw that it was getting late, so we all dispersed.
…………
Xu Ziyin had just closed the computer and was about to go to bed when he heard a rapid knock on the door.
Who is it late at night?
After muttering something, Xu Ziyin walked to the door and looked out through the peephole. The next moment, his eyes hardened.
Opening the door, Xu Ziyin was shocked to see Yin Muqing standing outside the door dragging his suitcase.
"Why are you here?"
Yin Muqing, who was originally in a good mood, burst into anger when he heard Xu Ziyin's words.
"Why, your tone sounds like you don't welcome sister?"
"No, that's not what I meant. I wanted to say why did you come here at this time?"
Rolling her eyes at him, Yin Muqing walked into the living room.
"The announcement is over, and I went home for a few days a few days ago, and I went to see Sister Man by the way."
"No, Sister Man was afraid that you would be bored at home alone, so she asked me to accompany you."
"By the way, I can also take care of your food and daily life."
From what you say, the cohabitation life is about to begin again?
There was something subtle in Xu Ziyin's heart.
Of course there is expectation, but there is also a hint of unspeakable complexity.
Seeing Xu Ziyin standing in a daze at the door, Yin Muqing said angrily.
"Why are you still standing there?"
"Come here and give me a squeeze on my sister's shoulders. After flying for several hours, my shoulders are so sore."
With a cry of oh, Xu Ziyin walked to the sofa and started massaging Yin Muqing.
Speaking of which, this girl looks more and more like Xu Man.
Usually when Xu Man returns home from a long trip, the first thing she does is lie lazily on the sofa and let herself relax her muscles and bones.
After the massage, Xu Ziyin looked at Yin Muqing's slim figure and suddenly remembered the body repair liquid given by the system.
I was worried that there would be no good opportunity for her to use it. Didn't this opportunity come?
As he said this, Xu Ziyin felt a little awkward.
If the body repair liquid takes effect, doesn't it mean that I will have to carry a small umbrella in the future?
You must know that when he had a fight with Yin Muqing before, he had gone into battle with real swords and guns.
It's a wonderful experience that feels natural and has a layer of separation.
Could this be the legendary saying that every loss must be followed by a gain?
Thinking about it, Xu Ziyin couldn't help but laugh.
