After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 72 The Thoughtful Xu Lin
Snapped!
Xu Lin drank up the kumquat lemon drink and threw the cup into the trash can next to him.

Xu Lin burped.

At this time, Xu Lin glanced ahead and saw Rong Xiyan, who stood out from the crowd.

Time: 6:53 pm.

Prepare for military training.

"Xu Lin, let's go out for some barbecue tonight!"

Rong Xiyan stood there with her hands folded. Her height of 1.74 meters made her ahead of many girls here.

"How to say?"

Xu Lin asked immediately.

"I'm treating you to a midnight snack. What else can I say?"

Rong Xiyan rolled her eyes at the other person.

Rong Xiyan hasn’t made any friends at school yet, so she and Xu Lin are considered a pair.

Is there pure friendship between men and women?
It's really hard to say.

Maybe, maybe not.

Seeing that there was a midnight snack, Xu Lin smiled and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command!"

"The most active when eating!" Rong Xiyan said unhappily.

The military training on the fourth night ended quickly.

After the class was dismissed at 8:30, Xu Lin and Rong Xiyan left the school together and headed to a nearby barbecue restaurant.

"Xu Lin, have you ever seen the stars?"

Rong Xiyan was walking behind and suddenly asked.

Xu Lin subconsciously looked up at the sky. It was sometimes difficult to see stars in a big city. There were a few stars scattered here and there, but their light was very faint, and it was the same as not seeing them at all.

By the way, today happens to be the first day of the eighth lunar month. There is a moon, but it is only a crescent.

Xu Lin didn't think too much about it, he just pointed to the sky and said, "Isn't that a star?"

"I said lots and lots of stars!"

Rong Xiyan said: "The sky is full of stars!"

"I saw him in town when I was a kid!"

When Xu Lin was a child, he saw in the town where his grandfather lived that there were many stars in the sky, as well as fireflies that were hard to see in the city, and frogs croaking in the suburbs.

Xu Lin's memory had become fuzzy, but now when it was mentioned occasionally, he remembered it again.

Rong Xiyan said: "When I was a child, my mother took me to see the stars. There were so many stars!"

Xu Lin: "What a coincidence, my mother also took me to see it."

"That's great!" Rong Xiyan nodded, quite envious.

Xu Lin didn't think much about it.

The two soon arrived at the barbecue restaurant.

Then we ordered various barbecues and six bottles of beer.

Rong Xiyan can drink, and this girl doesn’t get drunk easily.

However, she drank a lot tonight, almost three bottles, her pretty face was flushed, she was slightly tipsy, and felt quite shaky.

Xu Lin reminded him, "Okay, stop drinking. If you leave something like this in a bar, someone might pick it up."

"I've never been to a bar, and my mom wouldn't let me go to a place like that!"

Rong Xiyan took another sip of beer, looked at the other person, and asked drunkenly, "Xu Lin, if I get drunk, will you pick me up?"

Xu Lin immediately asked, "Do you have your ID card with you?"

"Bah, gangster!"

Rong Xiyan turned around and glared at Xu Lin.

In fact, the two of them were sitting on the same side.

Rong Xiyan finished the third bottle of wine, and with a bang, she placed the bottle on the table with great force.

I saw Rong Xiyan sitting there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xu Lin was eating chicken wings on the side.

He is not a very reliable person, but sometimes he is thoughtful. This is not innate to Xu Lin, but because his parents used to quarrel all the time, and Ms. Ren, a girl, felt wronged from time to time. Xu Lin understood it after seeing it many times.

In fact, according to his observation, neither of his parents would mention who was right or wrong, but women are sometimes unreasonable. When she says one plus one equals ten, what you should do is not to correct or refute her, but to shout "yes, yes, yes".

Seeing Rong Xiyan in a daze, Xu Lin asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

"No."

"Tell me about it!"

Xu Lin continued.

"No."

Rong Xiyan still shook her head.

Xu Lin continued, "Have you heard of the law of conservation of energy? Energy doesn't disappear, it only transfers. So if you have something on your mind, tell me. Maybe you won't be so troubled. Some things might be better if you talk about them, at least you won't suppress them in your heart."

"Today is my mother's birthday. I miss her."

Rong Xiyan spoke uncomfortably after a long time.

"Then send her a happy birthday!"

Xu Lin continued to eat his big chicken wings.

“I sent it, but no reply.”

"Maybe Auntie will reply later." Xu Lin looked at her.

"Xu Lin, my mother is gone, she can't come back..."

Rong Xiyan felt like crying. She lowered her head and then raised it again, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, which was heartbreaking to see.

Xu Lin was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.

Xu Lin doesn't know how to comfort girls.

Because comforting someone is actually useless. Sadness will not be reduced by comfort, but will only continue to be suppressed in the heart.

At this time, what needs to be done is to clear the blockage.

He simply took out his cell phone and opened Ms. Ren's chat interface.

Then Xu Lin handed the phone to Rong Xiyan: "Send her a message, for example: Mom, I miss you."

"Is it okay?" Rong Xiyan looked at Xu Lin, then at her phone. The note there was "Mom." Her beautiful eyes were sparkling with light, not sure if it was tears or something else.

The word "mother" has an unspeakable power for Rong Xiyan.

"of course can."

"Uh-huh!"

So, Rong Xiyan took Xu Lin's phone and, with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation, sent a message to Ms. Ren, who had marked Xu Lin as "Mom": "Mom, I miss you!"

the other side.

Ms. Ren had just finished taking a shower and was looking at her mobile phone.

Suddenly, Xu Lin’s message popped up.

"Mom, I missed you?"

Ren Yan was stunned for a moment. You know, Xu Lin hasn't called her "Mom" since junior high school. After that, he always called her "Mom", "Ms. Ren", "Ms. Ren Yan", and he rarely even called her "Mom".

This long-lost address made Ren Yan stunned.

Immediately, Ren Yan typed: "Xu Lin, are you in trouble?"

But when she was about to send it, Ren Yan deleted it instead of sending it, and then typed another line of words.

She thought that it might be her son's first time traveling far away and staying away from home, so he missed home.

In any case, Xu Lin is only eighteen years old. He officially turned eighteen in early June this year.

A mother worries about her child even when he is thousands of miles away. A mother's love is often warm and gentle, just like the spring rain, moistening everything silently.

"Baby, mommy misses you too."

the other side.

When Rong Xiyan received the reply, her face instantly blossomed into a smile, like the brightest star among the countless stars in the sky, shining in the sky.

"Xu Lin, thank you!"

Rong Xiyan returned the phone to Xu Lin.

"Are you feeling better?"

"All right."

Rong Xiyan nodded and wiped her eyes.

"Xu Lin, your mother must be a very nice person, right?"

"Oh, that's alright."

Xu Lin put away his phone.

"We should always look forward, right? The past cannot be retained, the future cannot be touched, only the present is right in front of us."

"Uh-huh!"

Rong Xiyan nodded, her heart filled with emotions.

At this moment, Xu Lin touched a very sensitive nerve of hers.

The two of them spent more than an hour eating the barbecue.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when the two came out of the barbecue restaurant. By the time they returned to the dormitory, it was already half past ten.

"Xu Lin, go to bed early tonight!"

Rong Xiyan sent a message at this time.

Xu Lin replied: "Not logging in tonight?"

"Not going up."

"Ok."

Xu Lin exited and clicked into Ms. Ren’s chat interface.

Shortly after Ren Yan replied, "Baby, Mommy misses you too," she asked, "Are you missing home?"

"No." Xu Lin replied.

Ren Yan: "Why do you suddenly miss your mother without me?"

Xu Lin: "It was probably just a whim!"

Xu Lin walked from the end of the corridor and passed by dormitory 404. Zhao Liangchen was rapping, but no one knew what he was singing.

Zhao Liangchen saw Xu Lin and waved to him, "Brother!"

"Ge" is a way of greeting, meaning the same as "brother".

Xu Lin nodded slightly.

Zhao Liangchen admired Xu Lin a little bit. He came to Xu Lin's dormitory at noon today and admired Xu Lin's body that was full of wild power.

Xu Lin then came to the outside of Room 405.

Push the door open and enter.

The guitar still sounds.

Liu Longsheng was playing the guitar and humming a song. He was preparing for the arts class tomorrow night and said he wanted to show off his talents and make all the girls scream.

"Xu Lin, what are your thoughts on the military training arts class tomorrow night?"

When Xie Zhengrong saw Xu Lin coming back, he asked.

"I feel like I can sing a song," said Xu Lin.

"Xu Lin, can you sing?"

Hu Donghai was surprised, and so was Xie Zhengrong.

"I think we can give it a try."

Xu Lin casually asked again: "Where are you and Hu Donghai?"

Xie Zhengrong shook his head, "I don't have any talents."

The same was true for Hu Donghai, and both of them felt quite regretful.

For activities like military training arts classes, seniors all said that this is a good opportunity to show off. Students with talents can perform and maybe find themselves single by accident.

During the school term, boys and girls all want to find a partner and start a sweet campus romance.

Xie Zhengrong clapped his hands and said, "Then Xu Lin and Liu Longsheng are the only talented people in our dormitory!"

Ah!
Liu Longsheng, who was playing the guitar, felt disdainful.

So what if you have talent?
I have been playing guitar for five years.

You only ranked sixth in the top ten high school singers competition in singing. What can you, Xu Lin, use to compete with me?

Liu Longsheng is determined to win, he will definitely be the most handsome guy in the audience tomorrow night!
