Help!It's really terrible to fall in love with my senior sister

Chapter 121 Interesting Facts on Christmas Eve

"Let's eat first, don't wait for the food to get cold." Xu Lin pulled Lin Lin to the table and sat down.

"The dinner is quite rich, two dishes and one soup." Lin Lin said while sitting on the chair.

"The weather is too cold. I saw there were some ribs and corn in the refrigerator, so I made a ribs and corn soup to warm you up." Xu Lin laughed.

"Then I'm welcome." Lin Lin filled a bowl of soup and took a sip.

"I'll help you make food." Xu Lin took another bowl of rice and put it in front of Lin Lin.

"You eat too, you don't have to worry about me." Lin Lin said.

"I'm fine, it's not a big problem." Xu Lin smiled.

"Why do you feel a little strange?" Lin Lin took a mouthful of rice.

"I'm surprised?" Xu Lin was stunned.

"Yeah." Lin Lin nodded.

"I'm nice to you, but you think I'm weird?" Xu Lin curled her lips.

"Cough cough cough." Lin Lin coughed lightly.

"Hmph, it seems that for the sake of buying me milk tea today, I won't argue with you." Xu Lin said.

"Eat first." Lin Lin filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Xu Lin.

"Humph." Xu Lin curled her lips.

"Don't be angry." Lin Lin said with a smile.

"Not angry." Xu Lin shook her head.

Lin Lin took a chopstick of meat and put it in Xu Lin's bowl, "Eat first, it won't taste good after the vegetables have cooled."

"Yeah." Xu Lin picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Halfway through eating, Xu Lin suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Lin.

"Xiao Lin, what class do you have tomorrow morning?"

"Me?" Lin Lin was stunned.

"I forgot about it myself. Wait for me while I check the course schedule." Lin Lin took out his mobile phone and looked at the course schedule and continued.

"I'll be there at ten early tomorrow."

"Why do you ask this?" Lin Lin asked a little confused.

"I don't have class tomorrow morning. I thought if you arrive at eight in the morning tomorrow, I'll get up and have breakfast. If you arrive in the morning at ten in the morning, I'll sleep in until I get up at noon." Xu Lin said.

"Ah? You have no class tomorrow morning?" Lin Lin's eyes widened.

"Yeah." Xu Lin nodded.

"I envy you so much. Why do you miss class at least once a week?" Lin Lin said enviously.

"I'm not sure. One or two teachers get sick every week and then take leave." Xu Lin shrugged.

"Isn't it all the flu?" Lin Lin asked after taking a mouthful of rice.

"how do you know?"

"I've seen a lot of people with colds recently. Many students in my class asked for leave because of colds," Lin Lin said.

"Indeed, the cold has been quite serious recently, and many students in my class have caught the flu during this period." Xu Lin also said.

"Do you have some cold medicine at home?" Lin Lin asked.

"It seems that there are, and there are two boxes of Lianhua Qingwen capsules." Xu Lin thought for a while and said.

"That's fine. If I don't have any medicine prepared, I'm thinking I could buy some when I pass by the pharmacy when I get back from get off work tomorrow night." Lin Lin put down his chopsticks after finishing his meal.

"The medicine is ready, but I still think it's better to go to the hospital if you're sick," Xu Lin said.

"Well, I've finished eating. Have you finished eating?" Lin Lin said.

"Not yet, I'm not in a hurry." Xu Lin shook her head.

"Okay, then I'll wash the dishes when I get out of the shower." Lin Lin stood up and said.

"Okay, I've prepared hot water for you, you can just wash it." Xu Lin said.

"Yes." Lin Lin nodded slightly.

After talking to Xu Lin, Lin Lin went to the balcony, took off the clothes of the two of them from the clothes drying pole and put them on the sofa.

After taking out his clothes, Lin Lin walked into the bathroom to take a bath.

After taking off my clothes and getting ready to take a shower, I suddenly realized there was no water.

Lin Lin was a little confused. He turned on the shower again and found that there was still no water. He put on his clothes again and walked out of the bathroom helplessly. He looked at Xu Lin who was eating at the dining table and asked.

"Sister Lin, why is there no water in the bathroom?"

"No water?"

"Isn't that true?" Xu Lin got up and walked into the bathroom a little confused.

I found that there was no water coming out of the showerhead and faucet, so I left the bathroom and walked into the kitchen.

After walking into the kitchen, I tried to turn on the kitchen faucet and found that there was no water.

"It's strange. There was water just now. Why is there no water now? I'll go to the group and ask." Xu Lin walked out of the kitchen and said.

Xu Lin walked to the dining table, picked up her phone, opened the residents' group chat, and found out after looking at the information.

在15分钟前房东才说今天晚上09:30过后会停水，10:30后会停电，水电力会在明天早上八点才恢复。

Xu Lin took a look at the message sent by the landlord to Lin Lin.

"Water and power outage?" Lin Lin frowned slightly and glanced at the small amount of battery on his mobile phone.

"My phone is almost out of battery. Let's charge it for a while."

"It's not a big problem, I have three power banks." Xu Lin raised three fingers and said proudly.

"Three power banks? What? Did you go to the mini program to rent a power bank and forget to return it? Then you paid 99 yuan to take the power bank home." Lin Lin joked.

"Niu, you can guess this." Xu Lin said helplessly.

"Ah? You're not really going to be a grudge and spend 99 yuan to buy that crappy power bank, are you?!!" Lin Lin said in shock.

Xu Lin coughed a few times and defended in a low voice: "That's not because I forgot to return it." "You..." Lin Lin didn't know what to say to Xu Lin at the moment.

Suddenly, all the lights in the room went out.

Xu Lin was so startled that she almost jumped from the floor to the ceiling.

"The power went out so soon?" Lin Lin turned on the flashlight and asked.

Xu Lin also turned on the flashlight and took a look at her phone. She found that it was only around 10:30, which was about 10 minutes faster than the [-]:[-] power outage the landlord said.

"Maybe there will be an early power outage. It's not a big problem. The power banks are all on the second floor. It won't be a big problem to recharge your phone when we go up to sleep." Xu Lin said.

"Okay, what should we do now?" Lin Lin shrugged.

"Don't talk about anything else. Let's clear the dining table first." Xu Lin put down her phone and motioned for Lin Lin to hold it so that she could see the dining table.

The two of them tried their best to clear the table.

After cleaning up, Lin Lin looked at the bowls in the sink and then at Xu Lin next to him.

"This bowl?"

"Save the water for washing tomorrow." After Xu Lin said that, she turned and left.

Due to the power outage, the two went to sleep on the second floor very early.

It was not until the next day that the minor disturbance of water and power outages passed.

A few days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was December 24th, which was also Christmas Eve.

Lin Lin, who had just gotten off work, passed by a fruit shop and suddenly remembered that while watching a video in the morning, he mentioned that the Christmas Eve custom is to eat an apple.

Thinking of this, Lin Lin walked into the fruit shop and prepared to pick a few apples.

Suddenly seeing the exquisitely packaged apples placed at the front desk, Lin Lin asked curiously.

"Boss, how much does this apple cost?"

"Ten yuan each." The boss said calmly.

"How much?" Lin Lin was stunned, thinking he had heard wrongly.

"Ten yuan." The boss repeated.

"Ten yuan for an apple?!" Lin Lin's mouth twitched.

"That's the price." The boss explained.

"Are they sold by the pound?" Lin Lin asked.

"Not yet. If you want to eat apples, this is the only one."

Thinking that an apple could reach the "sky-high price" of ten yuan, Lin Lin quickly left the fruit shop for fear of being cheated.

After walking around for a while, he found a supermarket. Lin Lin hesitated for a while but decided to go in.

After entering the supermarket, Lin Lin went directly to the fruit and vegetable section. When he found the apples, he took a serious look at the price list.

It says apples cost four and a half yuan per pound.

"Damn, this is the normal price, okay? How could there be a grudge buying the so-called Christmas Eve apples for ten yuan each?" Lin Lin complained while picking up a bag and picking apples.

After picking several apples, Lin Lin went to the cashier to pay.

Six apples cost less than ten yuan, and the apples were quite big.

Satisfied, Lin Lin left the supermarket with the apples and walked to the roadside, took a taxi and went home.

After returning home, Lin Lin found that Xu Lin had prepared a delicious meal.

"Back." Xu Lin took off her apron and came to Lin Lin's side.

"Yeah." Lin Lin smiled and nodded.

"Look at the big meal I made tonight, roast chicken and two vegetarian dishes." Xu Lin chuckled.

"Sister Lin is awesome." Lin Lin praised.

"Don't praise me, you'll be shy."

After saying that, Xu Lin noticed the bag Lin Lin was holding and asked, "What delicious food are you buying?"

"Apples." Lin Lin handed the bag in his hand to Xu Lin and said.

"Apple?" Xu Lin took the bag and asked a little confused.

"Why don't we all eat an apple on Christmas Eve?" Lin Lin smiled.

"By the way, Sister Lin, I get angry when it comes to apples." Lin Lin clapped her hands.

"What happened?" Xu Lin put the bag aside and asked.

"I just went to a fruit shop. I wanted to buy a few apples to eat back, but guess how much one apple costs?"

"Ten dollars?"

"I'll go, how do you know!"

"Well, that thing is an IQ tax. My roommate bought one on Christmas Eve last year. I avoided it at that time." Xu Lin raised an eyebrow.

"The main thing is that I don't understand why an apple can be sold for ten yuan after being packaged." Lin Lin shrugged in confusion.

"How should I put it? Most of the people who buy things like that are boys or girls buying them as gifts for the people they like. It's a ritual purchase."

"However, I personally think that instead of wasting money, it is better to buy some other fruits and make a fruit platter by yourself to give to the people you like. This is more meaningful and ritualistic than that." Xu Lin said.

"It makes sense." Lin Lin nodded.

"Come and eat first." Xu Lin pulled Lin Lin to the dining table.

"I'm going to wash my hands first and cut up the apple." Lin Lin said.

"Okay, it would be good to eat some fruit to relieve fatigue after eating the roast chicken." Xu Lin chuckled.

Lin Lin took the apple that Xu Lin had just put aside into the kitchen. After washing his hands, he cut the apple into slices and poured in a little bit of salt water. After putting it on the plate, Lin Lin went out with the fruit plate and placed it on the table. superior.

"Xiao Lin, hurry up, roast chicken needs to be hotter to taste better, especially the chicken skin." Xu Lin wore disposable gloves and tore off a few pieces of meat and put them into Lin Lin's bowl.

Lin Lin saw Xu Lin tearing up the roasted chicken and put on disposable gloves to help.

After a while, the two of them tore the whole roasted chicken into pieces.
