Pick it up and take care of it [Rebirth]

Chapter 48

"Friend?" Xu Zhengxi was startled for a moment, then sat sideways on the bed and looked at Bai Hui, then turned to Liu Zhengru with a smile and said, "Is he an adult? Zhengru, it's not like you to make friends with such a kid." Ah, where did you get it?"

??The corner of Liu Zhengru's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but want to touch his forehead—Xu Zhengxi's act of not even looking at Bai Hui was obviously for Bai Hui to see, and he didn't know where his hostility came from— This guy just happened to be right, Bai Hui was really "picked up" by him.

?? "He is an adult." Liu Zhengru said helplessly, "Didn't you want to eat? Go and clear the table."

"Oh," Xu Zhengxi sighed loudly, "It's been so many years, you're the only one who can support me."

?? Although he was reluctant, his body was very honest and he went to tidy up the table and set up the lunch boxes.Liu Zhengru hugged the notebook to his lap again, and said, "The one just now was Xu Zhengxi, my classmate in middle school and high school. He keeps yelling, so don't take it to heart."

??Bai Hui knew early in the morning that Xu Zhengxi was the one who answered Liu Zhengru's phone call. He had been displeased with him, but when Xu Zhengxi sat down on Liu Zhengru's bed, and Liu Zhengru didn't care, Now that the two of them even have to sit down and eat together, Bai Hui is even more depressed.

??Especially when Liu Zhengru said these two sentences, it seemed that he was complaining about Xu Zhengxi, but in fact it was revealed unconsciously that Xu Zhengxi was on the side of Liu Zhengru's "self" in his heart, so he wanted to persuade Bai Hui to "don't take it to heart. go".

??Bai Hui has been at the bottom for many years, how could he fail to hear the subtext that Liu Zhengru himself didn't realize.But he knew that he had no position to be angry at all, so he could only purse his lower lip, and said with a smile, "So it's Brother Ru's classmate."

?? He emphasized the word "classmate". Xu Zhengxi broke the chopsticks at the other end and turned his head to look this way.

??Liu Zhengru didn't notice the turmoil behind the two people, so he gave an innocent "hmm": "He helped me a lot."

?? "I would like to thank him for taking care of Brother Ru." Bai Hui said, "Did he bring food? Then go and eat quickly, don't talk about it, or your stomach will hurt for a while."

??Liu Zhengru nodded, and Bai Hui said again: "By the way, why don't you change your clothes too? Does the US emperor have a heater? Will you catch cold if you wear this?"

?? Bai Hui's tone was gentle and concerned, Liu Zhengru didn't see Xu Zhengxi rolling his eyes wildly behind him.

"That's right." Liu Zhengru said without doubting him, "I'll change later."

?? "Go," Bai Hui said, "I don't know if Meidi's food is good or not. If it's not good, brother Ru will tell me later."

?? "Is it useful to tell you?" Liu Zhengru smiled, "You can't come and cook for me."

??But it can make you miss me (cooking skills).Bai Hui didn't dare to say what was in his heart, he just said: "Knowing is better than not knowing."

?? "I know, but I can't finish it. There are tens of thousands of American chefs. If you don't eat delicious food, then you went to the wrong place, or the money you spent is not right." Xu Zhengxi suddenly raised his voice and said, " Don't worry, kid, I'll take Zhengru to have a big meal every day, and I promise to make him happy!"

"?" Bai Hui's face turned darker, and Liu Zhengru became more confused, "Xu Zhengxi, why do you look like an upstart?"

??Xu Zhengxi choked for a second, looked up and saw the calendar hanging on the wall of the dormitory, and suddenly had a new idea: "Zhengru, is your birthday coming soon? Is it the 24th?"

??Liu Zhengru usually doesn't pay much attention to this, but Xu Zhengxi will send him an email every year to congratulate him on his birthday, so he still remembers: "Yes."

?? "Christmas Eve on the 24th, the US emperor must have a holiday, so you can spare time on that day." Xu Zhengxi said, "Let's go to the most famous garden restaurant in LA for dinner. After dinner, you can also see the parade and fireworks show , It’s so beautiful, I’ll regret it for a year if I don’t watch it!”

??Liu Zhengru is not very interested in this, but he also knows Xu Zhengxi's character. If he doesn't agree now, he doesn't know how long he will be tortured by him. Anyway, he will have a holiday that day, so why not simply agree: "Then All right."

?? "Nothing would please me more!" Xu Zhengxi exaggeratedly raised his hands high, made a gesture of celebration, turned the chair and said with a smile, "'friends' can only stay in the country and wait, but 'classmates' can have a big meal together for their birthday ——It can be seen that there is nothing wrong with 'classmates', don't you think so, kid?"

??Bai Hui was silent on the other side of the screen and didn't speak for a few seconds.

??Liu Zhengru finally sensed something was wrong dully, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing," Xu Zhengxi put down his chopsticks, walked over and said, "Hurry up and eat, people tell you not to chat, the food won't taste good when it gets cold."

??He leaned down and pressed "hang up video" with a smile.

?? Before Liu Zhengru could react, Bai Hui's image disappeared from the screen. He looked up at Xu Zhengxi: "What are you doing?"

??Xu Zhengxi smiled nonchalantly: "I told you to eat, didn't your little friend persuade you the same way, what's the matter?"

??Liu Zhengru: "..."

??From a logical point of view, it seems that he really can't accuse Xu Zhengxi of anything.So he wiped away the feeling of loss in his heart, closed the laptop and put it aside, stood up and said, "I'll eat when I change clothes."

?? "That's right, I asked the chef to make your favorite food..."

??…

??In Liu Zhengru's study room, the dim floor lamp reflected Bai Hui's face, and he had been stunned for a while.

"Brother Hui, what are you doing?" The little fat man poked his head in, "Should I play video for so long, I don't know, I thought you two were in a relationship..."

??Bai Hui just came back to his senses, and with a movement of his arm, he knocked down something on Liu Zhengru's desk with a "crash", and it hit the carpet with a muffled sound.

??The light in the room was too dim, and Bai Hui didn't see what it was, so he hurriedly squatted down to pick it up in a panic, while instructing He Jiahuan to turn on the headlight.

??Bai Hui's eyes were stabbed by the sudden bright light, and he squinted to see clearly what he had knocked off - it was a pair of glass photo frames, which had fallen to pieces.

?? When Liu Zhengru was at home, Bai Hui never messed with his things. This time, he opened the study computer only at Liu Zhengru's request. It was also the first time he took a serious look at the photo frame on Liu Zhengru's desk.

?? Fortunately, a soft wool blanket was laid on the ground. Although the photo frame fell apart, the photos inside were not damaged.This photo seems to be a family portrait. A woman in a long skirt is holding the arm of a tall man, and a little boy is holding the woman's thigh, looking timidly at the camera.

"Is this Brother Ru when he was a child, so cute..." Bai Hui couldn't help touching the snow-white and supple cheeks of the little boy in the photo, he really wanted to travel through time and space to pinch him.

??Enough of seeing Liu Zhengru's youthful and youthful appearance, Bai Hui turned his attention to the source of this family portrait's sense of disharmony: the head of the tall man - who should theoretically play the role of father - was artificially cut out Now, there is only a small black hole left.

??The woman who is probably Liu Zhengru's mother wore a long skirt and permed the big wavy hair that was fashionable at that time. Even today she looks beautiful and charming-no wonder she gave birth to such a beautiful son as Liu Zhengru.Her smile was originally very bright and sweet, but I don't know if it was affected by the black hole next to it, her smile also looked a little faded and tired.

?? Bai Hui sighed, rubbed the face of the young Liu Zhengru twice, and was about to stand up when he suddenly had a thought and turned the photo over to look at it.

??The above few lines of immature and delicate lowercase letters:

"Just as the pear blossoms were blooming all over the sky, the gentle veil was floating on the river; Katyusha stood on the steep bank, singing like the bright spring scenery..."

"Katyusha...?" Bai Huizai carefully put the photo back into the frame, put it back to its original position, and asked in a murmur, "Do you like this song?"

??…

??It can be said that Chinese/Chinese small vendors are simply geniuses in localizing foreign festivals. Since Christmas has become popular among young students, they have come up with a "sinicization" of "Ping An Fruit" by relying on the homonym of "Ping An". "Product", the ordinary big apple is wrapped in layers of exquisite wrapping paper, and it has transformed into a foreign-style gift that students are vying for.

?? How many "Ping An Guo" received in the school has also become a major symbol of popularity. Since the morning of the 24th, Bai Hui's desk hole has been filled with "Ping An Guo" given by the girls, and it is full of colorful flowers. The eyes of all the boys were hot.

?? "So many, Brother Hui! Can you tell who belongs to whom?" During the evening self-study class, He Jiahuan came over and asked curiously.

"I can't tell the difference." Bai Hui stared at his phone and said absently, "Why divide it?"

"I want to know which girl's bag has the most layers and is the most beautiful, so I can give it to her!" He Jiahuan became frustrated as he said, "Forget it, this is a trouble that we mortals have—by the way, Brother Hui, why don't you give it to me?" Has the person wrapped the fruit?"

"..." Bai Hui paused and said, "No."

"That's right, Brother Hui doesn't play such sissy things..."

??Bai Hui looked down at the screen of the phone—in fact, he also packed it, but it was impossible to deliver it to the person he wanted to give it to, so it was no different from not having a bag.

"Brother Hui, why do you feel unhappy?" He Jiahuan poked him with his hand and whispered, "Didn't you receive the gift from the girl you like?"

?? Bai Hui glanced at him impatiently: "You are so annoying, get out."

??Actually, Bai Hui checked the time difference early in the morning, and sent Liu Zhengru a birthday greeting text message at 24:[-] p.m.Liu Zhengru didn't return.

??Although Bai Hui has been convincing himself "jet lag", "he fell asleep" and "he hasn't seen it", but the news is really not good.

??Maybe there are too many spam messages??When the evening self-study was about to end, Bai Hui thought so, and couldn't help but quietly pulled out his "safe fruit" from the desk, took a photo of it with his mobile phone, and wrote another text message: "Brother Ru ,Happy birthday."

?? But this time before he sent the text message, a new text message came in.

??——"Thank you." From Liu Zhengru.

??Bai Hui's smile just crept up to the corner of his mouth, followed by another one.

"Thank you for Zhengru. I'm Xu Zhengxi. Zhengru is washing up in the bathroom. This is my birthday present for him. Give it to the staff. How do you feel?"

??Bai Hui pursed his lips, and clicked on the photo attached to the text message.

??It took a long time to load the old mobile phone to reveal the full picture of the photo: it was an exquisite and low-key black men's briefcase, and the paper bag and small ticket tag next to it all showed its great value.

?? Bai Hui stared at it for a long time.

??Exit, delete the text message you edited 5 minutes ago word by word, and change it to: "Very good." Send it.

??The bell for the evening self-study get out of class rang harshly above his head.

?? "Emma is suffocating me..." Recently, the school has forced self-study in the evening, and Wang Ye and the others have been suffocating. Wang Ye stretched his waist and stood up, "No, I have to relax, brother Hui Are you playing?"

?? Before Bai Hui could speak, He Jiahuan rushed to say, "Brother Hui is a good student now, so he definitely won't go with us. Give up!"

"Go." Bai Hui put away the phone, raised his head and said calmly, "Where are you going, don't you know?"
