    "What are you thinking again?"

    Sheng Min raised his head, and Li Xuan handed him a box of fried yogurt with a thick layer of coconut flakes on it.

    "Give me?"

    "Otherwise? Come on, I'm holding the ice hand."

    "Thank you." Sheng Min took it over with a smile, "The one at the alley?"

    He remembered that they seemed to pass by a dessert shop on the way to the Internet cafe. It had a small door, and there were quite a lot of people queuing up, blocking half of the road.

    "Well, Zhu Zhou has a delivery phone here, so he ordered one."

    Li Xuan leaned against the window, there was a breeze blowing in from the window, and the sunlight cast dappled shadows on the window sill.

    This is the attic on the second floor of the Internet cafe, and there are many people in the shop. After Sheng Min gave the notebook to Zhu Zhou according to Li Xuan's instructions, the two went upstairs to wait.

    "You..." Sheng Min glanced at him.

    "I don't need it." Li Xuan waved his hand, frowning imperceptibly, "I don't eat sweets. Only you have the same taste as a child, and you can't avoid sweets. I ordered matcha and rum, and they don't have sweet-scented osmanthustaste."

    "I took a few glances because of the crowds in line." Sheng Min laughed, "I don't have to eat sweet-scented osmanthus either."

    "Your assistant said you like it." Li Xuan automatically ignored his previous sentence, "Didn't you ask me to bring you sweet-scented osmanthus candies when I visited the grave?"

    Tomb sweeping.

    Sheng Min was slightly taken aback, seeing a little playfulness in Li Xuan's eyes, he reacted and smiled.It was only a week, but in retrospect, it seems that a long time has passed.He lowered his eyes and put a spoonful of fried yogurt into his mouth, which was sweet with coconut flakes.

    "Why don't you talk again?" Li Xuan started to eat silently after seeing him, a little dissatisfied.

    "What did you say?" Sheng Min looked at him suspiciously, "It's delicious...thank you? I just said it."

    "I was specially waiting for your thank you?" Li Xuan pushed his hands back and sat on the window sill."I asked what you were thinking."

    Sheng Min recalled it, it seemed that Li Xuan asked this question before handing over the yogurt.He quickly flashed the letter from the prison in his mind: "I didn't think about anything."

    "Don't pretend. There's something wrong with you coming out of school. Did you run into my roommate when you were helping me pick up my books? Or something else?"

    "No." Sheng Min shook his head.

    "real?"

    "Really not." Sheng Min pursed her lips and asked bluntly, "You opened this Internet cafe? Just now Zhu Zhou asked me to check the account?"

    "I asked you to check the account, why did I open it again?" Li Xuan said lazily.

    This is obviously dissatisfied with him changing the subject.Sheng Min pretended not to know, and continued to play dumb: "Why are you opening an Internet cafe here?"

    "It's yours now." Li Xuan suddenly jumped back to the previous question and said casually.Sheng Min suddenly had an epiphany: "Isn't it in the future?"

    Li Xuan seemed to pause for a moment, and said immediately: "We will change it back later, of course it will be mine. Do you still want to occupy the magpie's nest?"

    Sheng Min had an intuition that what he originally wanted to say was not what he meant, but Li Xuan obviously didn't want to mention it again.Suddenly footsteps came from outside the door, followed by Zhu Zhou's voice.

    "Come in." Sheng Min said.

    "Brother Xuan." Zhu Zhou poked his head in, "I looked at it, and it should be that the graphics card is broken. There is no ready-made one here. If you are not in a hurry, I will send one from the same city and replace it for you? That isIt's been a matter of hours, you guys left after lunch?"

    Sheng Min glanced at Li Xuan calmly. The latter had already put on his mask, and when he noticed his gaze, he tapped his finger on the window sill.

    "Okay." Sheng Min then said to Zhu Zhou, "You change it."

    "What do you want for lunch? I'll order dinner together."

    "It will be all right."

    "Then..." Zhu Zhou pointed to Li Xuan, but Sheng Min didn't introduce him, he just said that he was a friend, and he didn't know how to call him, so he simply didn't have a title, "Is there anything I can't eat when I have a cold?"

    "It's fine if it's light, there's nothing else." Sheng Min remembered that Li Xuan had a fake cold, but there were many taboos, and added, "I don't want parsley or celery. Sorry to trouble you."

    Zhu Zhou ordered three dishes and one soup from a nearby homely restaurant, and it didn't take long for them to be delivered.The appearance is average, and the taste is okay.

    "He doesn't need to eat?" Zhu Zhou brought the food and hurried away, Sheng Min didn't have time to call him, and only asked Li Xuan after the door closed.

    "What kind of eyes are you looking at? I seem to be a very harsh person. You are not allowed to eat during working hours?" Li Xuan pulled up his chair, "It will be noon soon, and there are many people now. Zhu Zhou has to visit the store.It took a while to eat. And he eats heavily, so he should order another one, you eat yours."

    "I didn't mean that." Sheng Min handed him the chopsticks."I was thinking just now, what would you do if he was here all the time."

    "I just eat with a mask on."

    Sheng Min smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you talk to him, your friend will never gossip around."

    He said this once when he got out of the car just now."Trouble." Li Xuan opened the chair and sat down, "What if he asks how we met? Or if you want an autographed photo, can I sign it now?...Do you have any fan meeting recently? Do I need it?"I need to learn your words."

    Sheng Min thought for a while: "Not yet."

    "Then one more thing is worse than one less thing, eating."

    Sheng Min ate a box of fried yogurt, but he wasn't really hungry. He drank two bowls of soup slowly and ate half a serving of lettuce with oyster sauce, and he felt full.Li Xuan finished eating early in the morning, Qi Boyuan called to tell about the progress of the recruitment, and he went to pick him up.

    Sheng Min cleaned up all the disposable dishes, and softly motioned to Li Xuan: "Did I take it down and throw it away?"

    Li Xuan was busy talking on the phone and nodded casually.

    At this moment, the nearby universities are all closed, and the weather is fine today. There are students coming and going on the street, strolling shoulder to shoulder, and there are also couples holding hands to watch a new movie.

    Sheng Min has become more and more famous in the past few years, and it is rare for him to have the experience of being in the crowd without being noticed at all-this is not accurate, after all, Li Xuan is good-looking, thin and tall, and there are three girls passing by from time to time.The five groups turned their heads to look at him, met his gaze, and ran away playing with each other again.

    Sheng Min couldn't help but bowed his head and smiled silently, then turned and went back to the Internet cafe.

    "Brother Xuan." He entered through the back door, and heard Zhu Zhou calling him from behind the counter, "The computer is repaired. Please check it? The files should be there."

    "So fast."

    Sheng Min glanced at the stairs, Li Xuan hadn't come down yet: "Just give it to me, I'll take it up to see."

    "Oh." Zhu Zhou hesitated.

    Sheng Min looked at his expression: "Are you busy?"

    "It's something." Zhu Zhou chuckled, and asked him lying on the counter: "Last time you said that my boss will come in two months, when is it fixed?"

    Hearing this, Sheng Min couldn't help being taken aback, thinking what's going on, this store doesn't actually belong to Li Xuan?With a calm face, he imitated Li Xuan's tone and said casually: "When did I tell you about two months?"

    "Just a few days ago." Zhu Zhou didn't know why.

    "Then don't worry."

    Sheng Min lowered his eyes, Li Xuan said it was now, Zhu Zhou said two months.Somehow, he suddenly remembered the name on the envelope, Zhao Jizhe... Two months, could it be that this person's sentence has come?

    Such speculation is unreasonable, but Sheng Min did not know much about Li Xuan's life.On his side, You Zi was thinking wildly, and Zhu Zhou had already called him twice.

    "What did you say? I didn't hear it just now." Sheng Min apologized.

    Zhu Zhou scratched his hair: "My sister is getting married next month, and I may have to ask for a week off."

    "That's okay." Sheng Min returned to his senses and said gently, "If he doesn't come, just close the door, or I'll find someone to support you for a week, it doesn't matter...Your sister is getting married, you can bring me a red envelope."

    He said that he was going to touch his mobile phone to transfer money, but when he stretched his hand halfway, he realized something was wrong. Fortunately, he had the habit of carrying cash with him, so he took two thousand and handed it to Zhu Zhou.

    "No..." Zhu Zhou hurriedly waved his hands, "No need."

    "It's not for you either, it's for your sister."

    "You don't even know her."

    "I know you." Sheng Min smiled, "Since I know you, I always have to give you a gift."

    "That's not so much." Zhu Zhou frowned, as if he didn't know how to deal with it.

    In the past at Yang Xu's place, Sheng Min often gave out red envelopes, and the salary of the assistant's company was not high. During the holidays, he had to pay more for family affairs.Comparing habitually, didn't expect Zhu Zhou to react so strongly.

    "It's okay, you take it. Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Remember to bring me wedding candy."

    Zhu Zhou hesitated for a moment before taking it: "Thank you Brother Xuan."

    "It's okay, it should be." Sheng Min said, Zhu Zhou smiled embarrassedly, "Your salary is higher than others."

    "One yard is one yard." Sheng Min said gently, "You should be busy, I'm going upstairs."

    Zhu Zhou then put the notebook into the schoolbag for him, saw several dents and scratched paint on the computer cover, and asked casually: "How did your computer get like this? Did it fall?"

    "I didn't pay attention when I took it and dropped it on the ground."

    "Oh." Zhu Zhou handed him the schoolbag, and as if remembering something, asked him to wait a while, then went to the room where he slept on duty at the back, and took out a small red bag with patterns embroidered with gold thread.

    "The amulet my grandma begged for in the temple last month, brother Xuan, take it with you."

    Sheng Min didn't know why, and looked at him in surprise.

    "Didn't you fall?" Zhu Zhou explained.

    "The computer fell, it wasn't me." Sheng Min smiled, "And it was specially asked by grandma for you, so you can keep it for yourself."

    "She goes there every week. I've begged a lot from her since I was a child. It's just a thought."

    "Grandma believes in Buddhism?"

    "Yes." Zhu Zhou thought for a while, "I seem to have told you."

    "Oh... I said it, I forgot." Sheng Min nodded.Zhu Zhou is more or less suspected of reciprocating, but he is always kind.Sheng Min didn't want him to be embarrassed, and remembered that Li Xuanshi had dropped his computer in a car accident. After thinking for a moment, he solemnly thanked him for taking it over.

    "Why do you keep looking at me?" After Li Xuan checked that the computer was fine, the two set off for home.Sheng Min was always wondering whether Zhao Jizhe and Zhu Zhou's so-called boss might be the same person, and also wondering what the relationship between Li Xuan and him was.He couldn't help but cast a glance at Li Xuan from time to time.He thought he was secretive, and the number of times was too high, but Li Xuan also noticed it.

    "You want to say you didn't watch it?" Sheng Min didn't answer, Li Xuan raised his eyebrows.

    "Look." Sheng Min sighed, "I see if I've gained weight, there is an interview next week, and I'm going to be on camera."

    Li Xuan squinted at him, completely disbelieving, and said with a half-smile: "Then take a closer look, are you fat?"

    "No."

    Sheng Min was originally an excuse, but at this time he had to take a serious look at him. Under the gaze, it seemed that it was becoming more and more difficult to find traces of himself on this face that should be extremely familiar: "You're still skinny, youslept too late."

    This was very sincere, Li Xuan was noncommittal, knowing that he must have been thinking about other things at first, seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, he didn't pursue it anymore: "Just hold back your nonsense." Then he asked him: "What day of the week do you interview?"?”

    "Monday." Sheng Min said, "Are you okay?"

    There really are things.He promised Li Minger to go back on Monday, but that was before the car accident.In the current situation, it would be easy for Sheng Min to teach him the class, and let Sheng Min go back to Li's house for him... Li Xuan thought about it and thought it was fine, why not find a reason to delay it.

    He quickly made up his mind: "It's okay, you can go."

    Sheng Min nodded, remembering that Zhu Zhou was going to ask for leave, he hadn't told Li Xuan yet, but he didn't mention the boss Zhu Zhou was talking about, and while telling him, he took out the safety talisman and handed it to Li Xuan.

    "Oh, you agreed."

    "You're not a harsh person." Sheng Min blocked him with his words.

    Li Xuan glanced at him, and Sheng Min sized him up: "Then, I'll find someone to support you for two days..."

    "Just please." Li Xuan smiled again, "It's okay."

    Ahead was a kindergarten. When students were attending classes in the afternoon, the teacher led a group of students across the road. Li Xuan stopped the car in front of the zebra crossing and waited for them to pass.He hung the amulet on the rearview mirror conveniently, and the sunlight fell on the gold thread, refracting fine light.

    "Would you like to take a look?" Sheng Min thought about it.

    "where?"

    "In the temple. It's on the mountain in the north of the city. I've heard people say it's very spiritual." Sheng Min said, "To ask for a lottery? When can we change it back?... Just take it easy."

    After he spoke, his voice lowered, and he thought it was funny.There are quite a few superstitious people in the circle, and it's not like he hasn't seen one who raises little ghosts.Sheng Min didn't really believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but soul swapping, if he hadn't experienced it himself, would be outrageous. No matter who listened to it, it could be attributed to strange powers and chaotic gods.

    "I don't believe this." Li Xuan said as expected.

    According to a scientific explanation, the so-called soul may be the biological magnetic field. It is difficult to say what happened that day that caused him and Sheng Min to exchange ideas. Temperature, humidity, geomagnetic field, and even their own physical indicators may be in theAll of this has implications.

    These days, Li Xuan also took the time to check a lot of information, including physics, biology, and a few articles on astronomy.It's just that no matter how clever he is, it's impossible for him to find the answer so quickly for such a thing that has to be questioned whether it exists or not.

    Although he didn't want to admit it, the only thing he could do was wait. Fortunately, waiting and patience were things he had always been good at.

    "Do you want to go?" Li Xuan asked after thinking about it.

    Sheng Min could see that he wasn't interested: "Not to mention, that's all."

    Li Xuan didn't speak anymore, the children in front were playing and playing while crossing the road, the teacher was busy stopping them, the queue was long, and it took only two or three minutes for a short distance.

    Li Xuan took out his mobile phone and sent back and forth messages, and transferred two thousand to Sheng Min.

    "You don't need to transfer it to me." Sheng Min frowned, "I'm telling you, I'm afraid we'll change it back in the future, and if Zhu Zhouwan mentions that you don't know, he delayed accepting it for a long time today."

    "Because you gave too much." Li Xuan bowed his head and typed, his tone a little helpless, "Ordinary people, and they are not familiar with each other. Normally, it's just two hundred, five hundred. If you double it ten times, he will definitely reject it."ah."

    "So..." Sheng Min was stunned, "Usually...I..."

    "The way you are in the entertainment industry doesn't apply. You are quite popular as an artist, probably because of the high expenses." Li Xuan put away his phone and idly tapped on the steering wheel.You never know what it looks like."

    The zebra crossing ahead was finally cleared, and Li Xuan started the car.Sheng Min was silent for a long time before saying, "Our family had no relatives before."

    "Um?"

    Sheng Min paused: "When I was young, my family owed debts, I told you. I borrowed everything I could, and there would be no relatives who wanted to keep in touch. I didn't even have any friends."

    His tone was very calm, but Li Xuan couldn't help but look sideways at him.Under his long gaze, Sheng Min almost felt uncomfortable, annoyed that he had to explain it too much: "I have no other intention, just to state a fact."

    Li Xuan frowned and his Adam's apple moved, but he didn't speak again.But he was still looking at him, Sheng Min sighed silently, and after a while he was a little tired and squeezed out a sentence: "You are the one who wants to ask." After saying that, he felt that Li Xuan's gaze was unbearable, and he turned around: "IA little sleepy, take a nap."

    Li Xuan silently looked away.

    Sheng Min didn't doze off at first, but he didn't sleep much last night.Li Xuan raised the temperature in the car a little more, and replaced it with a very soothing old song, a gentle female voice is singing, where should we go, this is not where I planned to go...he was gradually overwhelmed by drowsinessup.

    This sleep was not deep, and I could vaguely feel that the car seemed to be driving out of the urban area, the noise of the city was left far away, and it seemed that we were going up the mountain again, with lush tree branches blowing across the roof of the car.He wanted to ask Li Xuan where is this?But he couldn't open his eyes, and suspected that he was in a dream. When he finally broke free from this half-dream and half-awake state, the first thing he smelled was the strong fragrance of sinking water.

    It was already evening, and it was summer, but it was not yet dark.The setting sun set on a corner of the mountain, and the dazzling afterglow made him squint his eyes, and also cast a fluffy golden layer on Li Xuanzhou's body who was sitting cross-legged on the hood of the car.

    He was writing a program, and there were regular sounds when his fingers tapped.

    "Li Xuan." Sheng Min looked at him for a while before calling him.The latter turned around, jumped out of the car, and quickly walked to the side, "Finally woke up, if you don't wake up, the door will be closed."

    He frowned halfway, and his tone was not irritable when he said that.Sheng Min put all the half-opened car windows down, and saw the Da Guangming Temple on the plaque: "Isn't it that you can't come?"

    Li Xuan said very naturally: "Didn't you want to come?"

    Sheng Min just woke up, his mind was still a little confused, he shook his head: "I don't really think about it."

    "It's not troublesome, just thinking a little bit is fine. Don't always look forward and backward, are you tired?" Li Xuan finally became impatient, stretched out his hand to open the car door, half-bent down to unbuckle Sheng Min's seat belt,He paused just as he was about to touch his fingers, then retracted it again.

    "Get out of the car." He coughed, "The door will be closed in a while."

    After all, it was too late, and no matter how effective the temple was, there were not many pilgrims.

    The cypresses and zhennan trees in the yard grow very tall. The more you walk in, the more intense the smell of the sinking water, covering up the smell of the trees. You can hear the sound of wooden fish and birdsong in your ears, but it feels more deserted..

    Sheng Min asked for a lottery, most of them are still on the rise, but they have already come, so it is not impossible to give it a try.

    This was the first time in his life to apply for a lottery, and the process was unusually smooth.After getting the lottery, throw the chalice again, three Holy Grails in a row.He handed the bamboo stick to the little monk beside him, and the other party quickly fetched the stick for him.The above four specious poems are about astrology, the morning star.The small two words in the corner of the lottery paper marked the winning lottery.

    The lottery interpreter in the temple has not left yet, she is a benevolent female lay Buddhist.

    "What are you asking?" She looked at the signed paper.

    "Ask..." Sheng Min hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to sum up the current situation, and said carefully, "Ask about the future."

    This is actually a very vague statement, too broad, marriage, official career, physical health, safety or not are all included here.The lay lady then changed the question: "What were you thinking when you asked for a lottery?"

    What are you thinking... Sheng Min looked down at the sign paper on the table...he was thinking about someone.

    "Sir?" He remained silent for a long time, and the layman reminded him softly.

    "Sorry." Sheng Min stood up abruptly, put away the signed paper, "I don't understand."

    He generously donated all the remaining money on his body for sesame oil money, and returned along the way he came from.

    Li Xuan didn't enter the hall at all, and was waiting for him outside the hall door.Bypassing the pond with the lotus leaf pavilion, Li Xuan's figure is behind the faintly staggered trees.

    Sheng Min stopped in his tracks, he didn't look at Li Xuan, but looked up at Chang Geng, who was shining in the distance in the half-dark sky.

    The sweat on the palm soaked the corner of the lottery paper.

    Qiming and Chang Geng have always been the same star, the one at sunset and the one at dawn.

    Sheng Min stood where he was, Li Xuan probably saw him, and walked over from behind the tree.The ringing of the bell continued for a long time until the bell tower on the east side rang.

    The evening wind blew a corner of Li Xuan's clothes, and Sheng Min remembered where he had seen him before.
