Lin Xu had a dream.
In the dream, at a Go hall in Beijing, he and Yang Tianyuan were still young players. They sneaked out to play computer games and were caught by the duty student Pei Yunlin. Strangely, Pei Yunlin was not alone, and standing next to him was Bai Jiachen wearing an armband. The two girls sneered, one of them grabbed one of his legs and pulled him off the wall.
Lin Xu Woke up and realized it was just a dream.
Only in dreams are there walls over ten meters high.
Lin Xu wiped his forehead, tore open a plaster, and applied it before changing direction to continue sleeping.
As the sunlight moved from the window lattice onto the bed, Lin Xu slowly opened his eyes and felt much better in his waist. Glancing at the time, it was a quarter past nine. In just a few days, his biological clock of over ten years had been forcibly adjusted. Indeed, simplicity was the result of luxury.
Bai Jiachen put on his black plastic slippers and went to the bathroom. Squeezing toothpaste, he foamed at the mouth in the mirror, the mint flavor hitting his throat, while Song Yi knocked on the door outside.
"Come in."
Song Yi held the hot milk and said with bright eyes, "Lin Xu brother, good morning."
"Morning." Lin Xu took the glass and took a sip.
The boy smiled, his handsome face exuding a cleverness in his eyes, but his demeanor was simple, lacking the shrewdness of boys his age in the city.
"Song Yi How old are you?" Lin Xu asked casually.
"I'm twelve. How about you, Lin Xu?"
"Twenty-three."
"Oh, Lin Xu and my sister are the same age."
Lin Xu smiled and said to him, "I'm not young anymore. Can we change the way you address me in the future?"
Song Yi thought for a moment and suggested, "Brother Lin?"
Lin Xu didn't say a word.
"Where's Brother Xu?"
"Think about it again."
"Brother Lin Xu?"
"Okay, let's go with this one."
The conversation ended, Song Yi urged Lin Xu to finish the milk and said Bai Jiachen had gone out to buy breakfast and would bring it up later.
But Lin Xu wants to go downstairs to eat. He hates the smell of food in the bedroom because it doesn't dissipate and makes the air stuffy.
"Song Yi, bring me a jacket." His hoodie got stained by spicy strips yesterday and can't be worn again. A T-shirt alone won't withstand the wind.
Song Yi happily agreed and went out to get it for him.
300 meters away from the Go classroom, there was a long line at a noodle shop. Bai Jiachen was multitasking, chatting with a job applicant on his phone while figuring out how to get Lin Xu to leave quickly.
A hand suddenly reached out.
Bai Jiachen was startled and turned to see his high school rival Sun Jingtian. Sun Jingtian adjusted his newly permed wine-red hair, tilted his head, and flicked his heavy black eyeliner upwards.
"WhiteOrange, you really went back to Leshui, but you didn't contact us at all."
SunJingtian's best friend laughed beside him, "Yeah, we all thought you would develop in Beijing, why did you suddenly come back home?"
"Beijing's air quality is not good," Bai Jiachen said lightly.
"Oh, then your boyfriend is not from Beijing, right?"
"My boyfriend?" Bai Jiachen exclaimed.
Sun Jingtian chuckled, "I saw it all. That guy was wearing your clothes, stepping around in your slippers at the door, his hair still dripping with water. I really envy you. Your uncle is so good to you, he doesn't even mind when you bring a man home to stay overnight."
Bai Jiachen gave a cold stare and said, "I'm telling you again, he's not my boyfriend!"
"Is he a friend with benefits?"
Bai Jiachen was angry: "It's a new employee in my family. They get free meals and accommodation, and a monthly salary of 2800. Even I, as a man like you, have to do it!"
Sun Jingtian didn't believe it: "But... didn't your comic serialization just get cut off? It's a good time to run the store. Why spend money to hire someone?"
"I have a lot of money, how I spend it is my freedom."
Bai Jiachen doesn't know how Sun Jingtian found out so much about her. Could it be that Song Yi, the big mouth, told her classmates? His neighbor in the next class happens to be Sun Jingtian's cousin.
Bai Jiachen carried breakfast, the sound of his heels tapping on the stone pavement echoed. At the end of the slope, the culprit Lin Xu was half-lying on a wicker chair, one hand in his pocket, the other playing with a small fluffy ball on the pocket, looking lazy and carefree.
Bai Jiachen was speechless, he was indeed wearing her clothes.
"Shredded eel noodles." Song Yi took the bag and placed it on the stone table under the tree, then bounced inside to get a ladle.
Bai Jiachen walked over, Lin Xu looked up, she bent down, and their eyes met for a moment.
"Didn't get enough rest?" Lin Xu pointed to his own eye sockets, indicating, "You have dark circles under your eyes."
"..." Bai Jiachen covered her eyes. She really didn't get enough rest yesterday. UC pushed her an article all night about a lumbar fracture causing paralysis. It's strange that she could sleep well.
"Don't worry, I won't cheat you," Lin Xu said, sitting up straight and looking into her eyes seriously. "The lumbar spine issue is an old problem and has nothing to do with you, and it's not serious."
Bai Jiachen was exposed and blushed without saying a word.
Awkward silence for a few seconds.
"Let's talk."
"Let's talk."
Both of them said in unison.
At last, they settled the matter on this pleasant morning, taking 10 minutes. Lin Xu listed a bunch of examples of his hard work and diligence, saying he could work in the Go classroom and wouldn't let her pay for medical expenses. Bai Jiachen immediately decided to hire him, solving two problems at once.
After finishing the meal, Bai Jiachen came to his senses.
Hmm, she was clearly planning to let Lin Xu go before, so how did she end up signing a contract with him? And now his salary has become 2800 from her uncle, with an additional 200 subsidy from herself, making it a total of 3000 per month.
Lin Xu is really something, it seems like she should let him go out and attract customers. Little Qitong's mother will definitely like him.
Bai Jiachen went upstairs, while Lin Xu continued to lie under the tree in a good mood. He had never known that sunbathing could feel so good, and he felt like he could stay there until the sun went down.
Bai Jiachen went back to his room, locked the contract, and started working on the digital tablet.
During this period, she has been spending quite a bit. To supplement the household expenses, she took on a few jobs drawing couple avatars, each paying 200 yuan. Compared to her classmates at big companies, it's practically a bargain. Yet, the customers are still not satisfied. Some complain that she didn't make the boyfriend handsome enough, others say she didn't capture the right atmosphere, and some even complain that she made the woman's chest too big and didn't make her look slim. She clearly drew based on the photos, what's with all the eye contact?
