Chapter 3 Children's Edition, Strawberry Flavor
After taking a shower, Lin Xu wiped his hair in front of the mirror.
The bathroom is not big, but it is very clean, and the mirror is wiped clean without any water marks.
It can be seen that Zhou Yan is a clean person.
Besides, he cooks delicious food and is not a picky person. I guess I can have a meal with him occasionally in the future.
Lin Xu is currently quite satisfied with this future 'cohabitation' partner.
After drying his hair, Zhou Yan came out and went in to take a shower.
Zhou Yan closed the bathroom door, and his first reaction was, "What's that smell? Sweet?"
He looked around and found the source of the smell.
It was the extra bottle of shower gel on the shelf with colorful cartoon patterns printed on it.
Children's version, strawberry flavor.
Zhou Yan's face was full of black lines.
After Lin Xu heated up the Chinese medicine, he sat on the sofa in the living room and drank it.
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened again.
Zhou Yan came out shirtless and wearing only a pair of shorts.
When she was wearing clothes, Lin Xu didn't think Zhou Yan had such a good figure. It was just that her height supported her figure and she had no extra fat.
Wow, this piece of meat is so hot, the eight-pack abs are so strong.
Moreover, Zhou Yan has long legs, and his quadriceps muscles contract with his steps when he walks, giving him a sense of power.
And the two muscles that can't be ignored——
"Poof—" Lin Xu couldn't control himself and spat out all the medicine.
The bitter smell of traditional Chinese medicine spread into the air.
Zhou Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with the two old men meeting like this.
But seeing Lin Xu's frightened expression, I suddenly remembered the online discussion that except for people from Northeast China, it seems that no one can accept the setting of a bathhouse.
"I'm sorry, I forgot I don't have a towel. Come out and get it."
After being reminded by him, Lin Xu remembered the sins he had committed.
"Let me get you one. I have a new one."
"No, I have—"
"I agreed to compensate you with one." Before Zhou Yan could stop him, Lin Xu had already run into the side bed.
When he came out again, Lin Xu handed Zhou Yan a light grey towel. It was very thick, but felt extremely soft. You could tell it was a good thing just by touching it.
"This is—it's quite expensive, isn't it? I really have it."
"How much can a towel cost? I used your towel to clean the floor, and you even treated me to a meal today, so this is a thank you gift."
The visual effect is more intense when viewed up close.
Zhou Yan only realized he had no towel after washing his face. He didn't have time to wipe the water droplets off his face, so they rolled down his cheeks and neck...
Lin Xu felt a heat in his nose and quickly looked away, urging him to take a shower: "Stop arguing, just continue taking a shower."
"Well, thank you."
Zhou Yan thanked him and went back to the bathroom with a towel.
Lin Xu looked at his agile back and swallowed.
No, no!
He can't be crazy about men anymore!
Lin Xu returned to the sofa, picked up the medicine bag and drank it in big gulps.
When Zhou Yan came out of the shower, Lin Xu was no longer in the living room.
The door to the side bedroom was closed, and soothing music floated out from the gap under the door.
Zhou Yan walked onto the balcony.
The midsummer breeze blows the green plants on the balcony, and the fragrance of soil mixed with grass makes people relax.
Only then did he realize that every pot of plants seemed different, even the pots were different.
But the style is quite uniform, just like the bottle of shower gel in the bathroom, with colorful cartoon style.
Twenty-three years old, just graduated from college.
When Zhou Yan recalled himself at that time, he seemed to have retained the innocence of a student.
But at that time he was eager to grow and forced himself to make money.
Now looking back, life is so long, and except for the few years when I was in school, every day was spent struggling for three meals a day, a car and a house.
It’s okay to mature later.
It’s hard to tell whether it’s envy or nostalgia. Zhou Yan lay on the balcony railing, staring at the overpass in the distance for a long time.
Side lying.
Lin Xu ate too much at night and felt a little dizzy. He fell asleep hugging the quilt without even having time to choose a bed.
The next day, when Lin Xu got up, Zhou Yan had already gone to work.
Lin Xu had an interview, so he dressed neatly and took the subway to the city center.
Chen Jinhe was chatting with Lin Xu and knew that he was squeezing into the subway. He sincerely said that this kid was really adaptable.
Half a month ago, she was still a canary kept by the young master, living in a small mansion and being picked up and dropped off by a luxury car. Now, she can share an apartment with others and squeeze into the subway.
No complaints at all, the transition was so smooth.
If this happened to someone else, wouldn’t they be depressed?
Lin Xu leaned against the car door, holding his resume in his arms as he typed on the screen: [A good death is worse than a miserable life. At least I've enjoyed it, so it's not a loss.]
Chen Jinhe: [Okay, stop talking. It's rude.]
Lin Xu happened to get off at the station, put away his phone, and went out of the subway to the company where he had an interview.
Lin Xu studied horticultural design in college. He received scholarships every year while in school. In his junior and senior years, he won all the design awards available for college students.
But later I was obsessed with love and didn't look for a job after graduation. I just focused on dating.
Lin Xu confidently walked into the interview with his resume.
He replied dejectedly.
"You have no taste. How is my design outdated? It even won an award."
"They're not using the future great designer, but hiring that fresh graduate. It sounds good, but isn't it just that fresh graduates have lower salaries?"
"Tsk, I don't even want to go. The office environment is really unfair to me."
Lin Xu squatted on the balcony and complained to his pile of plants.
I can’t find a job, the money in my card is almost gone, and I’ll have trouble eating next month.
Lin Xu was so worried that he got angry.
At this time, Chen Jinhe sent a message of condolence: [How was your interview today? ]
Lin Xu: [What do you think? If it worked, wouldn’t I have told you long ago?]
Chen Jinhe: [What should I do? Don't tell me you ate instant noodles again for dinner.]
Lin Xu: [Soon even instant noodles won’t be available.]
Chen Jinhe: [That scumbag gave you money but you didn't want it. I wanted to give you money but you didn't want it either. Why are you doing this?]
Lin Xu: [If I go back to him and ask for the 200,000 yuan now, will he still give it to me?]
Chen Jinhe: [Oh, where was the righteousness you felt when you threw the money in his face?]
Lin Xu: [Blame my youth and ignorance.]
Chen Jinhe: [Okay, come out and eat. I'll treat you to hot pot chicken.]
Lin Xu: [No, the round trip subway ride costs eight yuan.]
Chen Jinhe: [Look at how pitiful you are. I drove to pick you up, and you just said whether you want to eat or not?]
Lin Xu: [Eat!]
While Lin Xu was waiting for Chen Jinhe to arrive, Zhou Yan came back from get off work.
He was carrying some vegetables in his hands.
Lin Xu's gaze fell on Zhou Yan's hand, and his eyes lit up.
He got off work at the normal time and bought some groceries, which meant that he could eat Zhou Yan’s cooking again, right?
Zhou Yan looked at Lin Xu's expression and almost laughed out loud.
I'm used to seeing people in the business world being hypocritical and having faces that can reveal eight hundred thoughts in one sentence. People like Lin Xu, who have everything written on their faces, are really easy to understand.
Zhou Yan signed a big deal today and was in a good mood, so he wanted to tease Lin Xu.
"Do you want to go out?" Zhou Yan asked expressionlessly.
Lin Xu waited for Zhou Yan to extend a dinner invitation, but he didn't.
It was a bit awkward for a moment.
That's right. He is just the landlord, no relation to us. Why should I get a share?
Lin Xu, who was already in a bad mood, felt even more depressed at this moment.
"Yeah." Lin Xu responded and walked towards the door with his head down.
The light in Lin Xu's eyes dimmed instantly, and Zhou Yan's mood also sank.
As if he had done something bad, he hurriedly grabbed Lin Xu's arm.
"I bought some vegetables, enough for two people, let's eat together."
Lin Xu paused for a moment, his heart was beating wildly, but he still had an appointment with Chen Jinhe.
Zhou Yan smiled and continued, "I'm good at making sweet and sour pork. I bought the ingredients."
Lin Xu turned around instantly, a smile returning to his face: "I'm so sorry - thank you, Brother Zhou!"
