"Welcome." said the owner of the small restaurant.
Lin Xiao gingerly stood and sat down in the Gallo position. There were four foods written on the yellowed menu.
Which one should I eat? After thinking for a long time, Lin Xiao ordered pork chop rice.
It didn't take long for the boss to bring the pork chop rice.
'Use it slowly.'
This pork chop rice is so delicious.
The question is, why does the uncle sit in front of him and stare at him intently.
"How about it."
"tasty."
"Then, what should I say?"
"What?" Lin Xiao said.
"I mean, is there a girl you like?"
"ah."
"I'll annoy you just by saying it."
"Where are you making such a fuss?" Lin Xiao said.
"Imitate it," the boss said.
Lin Xiao closed her mouth and ate slowly. It tasted really good.
After dinner, I went home. In the quiet night, there was only the resonating sound of insects in my ears. When was the last time I felt like this when I came here.
Lin Xiao felt that he had never had a similar experience since he was born.
Although my hometown is not a big city worthy of praise.
What are the sounds that can often be heard in my hometown?
For example, the sound of cars coming from the main road near your home.
"Speaking of which, where is this place?"
It seems that while immersed in this silence, I have lost my way unknowingly.
I am walking on a road that obviously has no memory at all in my mind.
After all, this is a place where there are no buildings that can be used as landmarks, so it's unclear which direction it should go in.
I didn't expect that I would get lost when I went out for a meal.
"Um?"
It was pitch black, and I thought I could find a solution by just walking in one direction, but I haven't found a solution for so long, and I couldn't even find a single figure.
On the contrary, the surrounding atmosphere became more peaceful. How on earth should we go?
I was originally thinking that as long as I walked along the coast, I would be able to reach the port.
It's because my thoughts are too naive, there will always be a way.
What? You can see a building opposite. It looks like a building. This one also has something like this.
By the way, it's a lighthouse. Since there is a port, there must be one waiting for him.
But at night like this, he didn't emit any light at all.
What's the point of a person's existence if he doesn't shine?
Just like myself, I immediately developed a fondness for this beacon. If it can't shine, it will certainly not be able to guide me on the way forward.
No one can guide you.
Now is not the time to wallow in sadness, let's go.
After walking for a few more minutes, a tiny noise disrupted the chorus of insects.
It sounded like water splashing, and Lin Xiao began to listen carefully.
Yes, you can indeed hear something splashing. Is it a small river? Even if it is, what is the sound coming from?
Decided to go to the source of the sound to find out more.
Well, in the dark music, you can see that it is an elementary school, which means that the source of the water sound is coming from the other side of the blue.
It's a swimming pool. How come there are people there so late at night?
Although I don't know what that person does in the swimming pool at night, it shouldn't be a problem if he goes over and asks.
There is a door in the corner of the fence. The lock of this door has been unlocked, indicating that someone has walked in before.
Lin Xiao tried to walk in. Of course, there was no lighting equipment in the elementary school swimming pool.
Lin Xiaozhi could vaguely distinguish the surrounding situation with the faint starlight. The water surface was swaying slightly.
The swimming pool where Lin Xiao goes to school should have a similar situation.
The scenery by the swimming pool is probably the same everywhere.
But it was my first time swimming in a swimming pool with so few swimming lanes. What was that sound just now?
In my sight, I can't see other people at all.
After all, no one should come to a place like the swimming pool at this time.
What was the sound I just heard? I suddenly felt a sense of fear.
School at night is quite scary under such circumstances.
Suddenly a strong sound sounded, and it sounded as if something had fallen. I was so irritated that I looked back sharply.
Suddenly, as if falling from the sky, a pure white statue appeared.
For a moment, some kind of understanding of the patron saint guarding the swimming pool flashed in my mind. But in fact, this is not the case.
It was a beautiful girl, about the same age as me, who was staring at me in the pool. She said she was gazing, but it was actually the extent of gazing.
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, really didn't know what to do about this unexpected situation, so he could just stand there blankly.
The two looked at each other for probably nearly ten seconds.
"Well, who are you."
It's a natural question, she must be feeling uneasy because of the appearance of her uninvited guest.
"Lin Xiao."
The girl fell into deep thought, perhaps because she didn't know the name.
"Then what, you are?"
"White Feather."
Although her voice was very small, her name was still clearly heard in the silence of the night.
"Bai Yu?" The two of them introduced themselves, one standing by the pool and the other in the pool.
"what are you doing here?"
"I'm practicing."
"Practice swimming?"
"Yeah." The girl nodded slightly.
"No, that's my line."
"Your line, what line?"
"who are you?"
"So, that kind of thing is fine no matter what."
It turns out that everything is fine.
I'm asking you what are you doing in a place like this?
"I got lost on the way back."
"You know how to get back to Lin's house."
"oh."
"Forget it, no matter what it is."
"Anyway, I am living in Miss Lin's house. The reason why it is like this is because I died, and they are very good at cooking."
"To put it simply, I can't figure out the way."
"I don't know which way to go."
I don't know why the girl keeps staring.
"I'd better leave first." Lin Xiao said.
"After walking out of the swimming pool, go right, go to the intersection and turn left." Bai Yu said.
After the girl finished speaking quickly, she dived deeply into the water again.
"Thank you, tell me what you are doing."
"nothing."
If you say it's nothing in the swimming pool at night, no one will believe it.
And it makes people wonder why she has been submerged in the water from the beginning.
"You must be injured, right?"
"Nothing at all."
"Even if you think it's nothing, you might get cramps in your feet accidentally."
"It's so dark, there's a high possibility of drowning," Lin Xiao said.
"Don't you think it's dangerous?"
"It's so annoying."
It seems she is very angry.
And it's not just as simple as being angry. I don't know if it's my own misunderstanding, but I always feel that she looks like she's about to shed tears.
"I know, I'm sorry, I'm leaving first. Thank you for telling me how to get back."
"Goodbye." Lin Xiao said.
Do you train in the swimming pool at night? Is this a common thing here?
It seems that I scared her a lot.
Although I didn't look directly at her just now because I was too shaken, it felt very inconsistent.
"I'm back." Lin Xiao said.
"ah."
"It's quite late to come back." There was no hint of worry in Lin Jing's words.
"Well, I'm going to take a walk nearby."
Lin Xiao said.
"Nothing was found."
"yes."
As soon as he said the words, he shook his head: "But I saw a girl."
"That shouldn't be surprising."
"Swimming in the school swimming pool."
I thought I was joking, or maybe I was used to it.
Maybe the school swimming pool on the island is open like this.
"I'm going to help you starting tomorrow." Lin Xiao said.
‘Thank you, but it’s rare to come here and take a rest.’ Lin Jing said.
"Take your time, I'll help you when the time comes."
"I see."
It was interesting to meet that girl today.
It turns out that this is all explained clearly.
"These are words of blame. Don't say them casually."
"Yeah?"
"I guess so. You look uncomfortable. Hurry up."
There are all kinds of strange things in the bathroom. It feels like seeing a tea egg seller on the street and realizing that he is a doctoral student.
How should this thing be used?
Theoretically speaking, just light the gas and use it like a stove, right?
There are so many things that can be pressed here. I am confused as to how to operate that button. What should I do if it breaks?
I originally wanted to ask Lin Jing for advice, but after thinking about it, I finally gave up.
Haha, the boys in the city really don't understand anything. It would be a bit bad if she treats them like this.
But having said that, I don’t understand it at all.
Lin Xiao stretched out his hand towards the steaming bathtub.
The bath water is still hot, someone must have just used it.
In that case, just go straight in and go clubbing.
"call."
So because I realize that this place has nothing to do with other places.
Who was here just now? I don't know why I thought she was a lovely woman. After all, the surrounding area was exuding a soft aura that seemed far away or absent.
This should be it, the smell like milk.
Lin Jing said before that besides me, another relative's child also came, and Ying Ai was that person.
If it's a man, then what to do.
Lin Xiao didn't want to live under the same roof with a man who exuded such a floral fragrance.
I don’t know when, but the bedding was placed in the room.
It seems that Lin Jing doesn't have much energy on the surface, but she secretly takes care of others. She feels like her mother, who feels a little guilty, even though I came here in the name of helping clean up.
Starting from tomorrow, you should finish your own things by yourself.
But what are you going to do starting tomorrow?
Free?
Lin Jing allowed herself to spend this time freely.
When she said that, I was still very troubled.
After all, I have no idea what I should do.
Could it be that we have never been free all along?
On this island, can I become free?
Better sleep.
Not long after turning off the lights, Lin Xiao felt heavy with sleep.
Is it my illusion? When I was half asleep and half awake, I always felt like someone walked into the room, and seemed to be staring at me for a period of time afterwards.
The man walked over to him, covered himself with a quilt, and then left again.
the next day.
"It's time to get up, I said."
It seemed like someone was calling me, and it was a voice I had heard before.
A girl is looking down at herself.
"It's already 8 o'clock."
It took me a few minutes to remember that I came to my grandma’s house during this summer vacation.
Who is this girl?
I remember correctly, this girl remembers it.
"It's like this every morning. Are you my wife?" Lin Xiao said.
"Absolutely not."
"Well, my brain is finally awake."
"First time we meet, I'm Xiaoyu."
"this is my name."
"Hello, classmate Lin Xiao."
"Get up quickly."
"Why?"
"Do you need to say such a thing? Of course breakfast is gone."
Lin Xiao got up slowly.
"Could it be said that among your acquaintances, there is someone who is willing to be with you every day."
"That's right." Lin Xiao said.
Come outside.
But I didn't expect her to make fried rice in the morning. This idea was too unusual.
Xiaoyu pouted and said, "I did this."
"Very powerful ah."
"It's nothing great."
'oh.'
"What did you say."
"You are indeed very powerful."
"It's nothing great."
This guy was woken up early in the morning and rebelled while eating across the table from the two of them.
It's going really fast, but this fried rice tastes good.
"Why are you here too?" Lin Xiao said.
"I received the letter and was asked to help organize the warehouse." Xiaoyu said.
"That's just like me." Lin Xiao said.
"Yeah."
The other relative Lin Jing mentioned should be her.
"You came here alone?" Lin Xiao said.
"If you want to go out and play, I can match you." Lin Xiao said.
"I'm really telling you this."
"Didn't you just say what you were going to do today?"
"I'm talking about housework." Xiaoyu said.
"Please don't cause any trouble to Miss Lin Jing. The two of us will be responsible for the household chores. It'll be no problem."
I have completely fallen into her group, and the other person is still a little girl.
"I have written all the housework that I should be responsible for here. Let's decide what we are responsible for."
As she spoke, she took out the handwritten housework sharing list.
You are really serious about what you do.
"As for how to arrange it specifically."
"Just use guessing to decide." Xiaoyu said.
"What are you doing? Come on, guess the game."
"Why is this so?"
"Of course that's because the winning party can choose first and choose which specific chores to do."
"I see."
The difference is quite big.
"I hope I don't have to do laundry."
"You hate doing laundry?"
"It's annoying," Xiaoyu said.
"You are really direct." Lin Xiao said.
"It's really complicated."
"Humph, why do you look so embarrassed?" Xiaoyu said.
"That's right." Lin Xiao said.
"what."
"Feel sorry."
"It's true." It's hard for an adolescent girl to guess.
"I lost again. Why can't I win the guessing game? Did you cheat?"
"How can I cheat?"
"But it's not normal for me to lose so many times."
"Forget it, I'll tell you. I know it by looking at your expression." Lin Xiao said.
