Chapter 12 Hong Kong Floating Life ([-])
At seven o'clock in the morning, many people in the Yang family had already woken up, and when Zhang Lexing returned to the hall, it was just in time for breakfast.

"Le Xing, come and eat together!" Seeing Zhang Le Xing coming in from outside, Mr. Yang greeted him warmly, then turned his head and shouted: "Mother Feng, bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks!"

Zhang Lexing was also polite, and went straight to the dining table, found an empty seat and sat down.Maybe it was relatively early, and there was no sign of Yang Xinxin on the dining table, and I don't know if I got up yet.There were five people at the dining table including Zhang Lexing, except Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang, and Yang Yu'an who made people uncomfortable just looking at it yesterday, and a middle-aged man who looked a little older than him.

"Le Xing, let me introduce you. Next to me is my eldest son, Yang Yuping. He is Xiner's father. Next to him is my second son, Yang Yu'an, whom you saw yesterday."

"Good morning, Mr. Yang, good morning, Mrs. Yang, and good morning, Mr. Yang." Zhang Lexing warmly greeted several people at the table.

Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang also warmly greeted Zhang Lexing. Even Yang Xinxin’s father, Yang Yuping, nodded to him. Only Yang Yu’an was still the same as yesterday. Although he didn’t say anything strange, he pretended to eat with his head down and deliberately ignored Ignore it.Zhang Lexing disdained Yang Yu'an even more in his heart. If he hadn't taken care of Mr. Yang's face, he really wanted to leave here.Fortunately, Mama Feng brought the bowls and chopsticks at this time, and the bowls were already filled with half a bowl of porridge, so Zhang Lexing just turned his attention to the breakfast on the table.

After eating for a while, Yang Yu'an seemed a little impatient, and deliberately said to Yang Yuping: "Brother, I heard that the company has often done business with the mainland recently. I wonder if you have been to the mainland. The people there Are they all similar to that Ah Chan (Note 1)?"

Yang Yuping smiled flatly, and replied: "I don't know, I haven't been to the mainland yet. But Xiner has been there a few times in the past two years. If you really want to know, you can ask Xiner."

Yang Yuan, who was bored, still didn't give up, and said to Yang Yuping: "Brother, I heard from my friends that many people from the mainland have come to Hong Kong, and it is said that some people came here by swimming. Haha, brother You said it was funny or not!"

The more Mr. Yang listened, the less he liked it. He glared at Yang Yu'an angrily, and said, "Yu'an, don't talk so much nonsense at the dinner table!"

Only then did Yang Yu'an restrain himself, and stopped mumbling casually, but still looked at Zhang Lexing with disdain.After being disturbed by this annoying Yang Yu'an, the breakfast was tasteless. If Zhang Lexing's mental quality had not been good all these years, he could not help but leave the table.

After finally insisting on finishing breakfast, Zhang Lexing got up and said goodbye to Mr. Yang and others, then turned and walked upstairs.Halfway there, Zhang Lexing met Yang Xinxin who was about to go downstairs for breakfast.Yang Xinxin was wearing a white plush coat, and inside the coat was a set of pink Hello-Kitty cotton pajamas. Perhaps because she hadn't slept well, she yawned from time to time as she walked.

"Sister Xin, good morning!" Zhang Lexing waved his hand in greeting.

"Oh, good morning." Yang Xinxin replied lightly, and continued to walk down.

It was boring again, Zhang Lexing felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do, who would let himself be under the fence, but Zhang Lexing also secretly made up his mind, as long as there is a chance, he must find a way to move out.But now that I am not familiar with the place of life, I can only persevere first, at least wait until Dr. Yu comes.Thinking while walking, Zhang Lexing came outside his workshop, opened the door and walked in.

Zhang Le walked to the desk, pulled out the chair and sat down, looked up at the window, the clouds floating quietly in the sky, his mood gradually calmed down.Zhang Lexing took out the Kylin operating system disk he wrote from the floppy disk box and put it into the floppy drive of the Apple II, and then reached out to turn on the power of the host of the Apple II. With the appearance of the system command line, he began to immerse himself in the digital world of 0 and 1 .Whenever at this time, Zhang Lexing always has a relaxed and happy feeling, maybe this is because there are not so many warm and cold worlds in the computer world, and there are not so complicated human relationships.

……

Gradually, Zhang Lexing also adapted to the life here. Usually, he seldom goes out except to buy some daily necessities. Basically, he uses the computer in the workplace, or draws manga on the roof terrace. His life is simple and simple. Simply, if there were not some unpleasant people, it would really be a comfortable and comfortable life.

During this period, Zhang Lexing also had a better understanding of the attitude of everyone in the Yang family. Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang treated him best, perhaps because they all came from the mainland.Yang Xinxin's second uncle, Yang Yu'an, was the one with the worst attitude. He would be sarcastic whenever he had the opportunity. Fortunately, Yang Yu'an had his own house outside, so he rarely came here, otherwise Zhang Lexing didn't know if he could bear it for so long.Yang Xinxin's father, Yang Yuping, basically treats Zhang Lexing with a disregarded attitude. Apart from maintaining the superficial politeness, he almost treats Zhang Lexing like air.Yang Xinxin is a special one. At the beginning, it was only because of the request of Mr. Yang that she often took Zhang Lexing out to buy things or help with other things. However, as the contact time increased, Yang Xinxin found that Zhang Lexing was not like she had seen before. Those mainlanders are conservative and closed, and can often offer some insightful opinions.Even when Yang Xinxin went shopping to buy clothes, Zhang Lexing helped her choose some very fashionable ones. Yang Xinxin's attitude towards Zhang Lexing changed a lot, and Zhang Lexing began to have a friend who could talk. .

……

One day in mid-November, Zhang Lexing was drawing comics on the roof terrace as usual, but now that the weather was getting a bit chilly, Zhang Lexing specially added a long-sleeved shirt.In the breeze blowing on his face, Zhang Lexing first took out the blue pencil draft that he bought in Hong Kong, and drew several pictures in one go. Then he put down the pen and re-examined the drawing. The dip pen started to stroke and color, and when it was being traced, there was a loud bang, and the pen in Zhang Lexing's hand trembled and the painting was blurred. Fortunately, the work that had been working hard for a long time immediately became a piece of waste paper.

Zhang Lexing was very upset, and followed the sound to find out who the culprit was, but he saw a person who was even more upset than him.It turned out that the loud noise just now was made when Yang Xinxin opened the patio door, and her current expression was a little scary. It is estimated that if anyone appeared in front of her now, she might have encountered the same problem as that poor door. In the end, Zhang Lexing wisely gave up the idea of ​​getting back to the game.

Obviously, Yang Xinxin didn't notice Zhang Lexing's existence. She walked directly to the edge of the terrace and looked up into the distance. A pair of luxuriant hands were tightly grasping the handrail of the terrace, and her back under the tulle was slightly swaying.The wind on the terrace gradually picked up. Seeing Yang Xinxin's thin clothes, Zhang Lexing sighed, took off his long-sleeved shirt, and walked over to help Yang Xinxin put it on.

"Sister Xin, it's windy outside, let's go downstairs." Zhang Lexing said.

"It's okay, I still want to stand for a while. Thank you for your clothes." Yang Xinxin didn't turn her head, her tone was a little different from her usual one.

"Sister Xin, why don't you come and sit down." Zhang Lexing felt as if water droplets were blown into his mouth by the wind, and a salty bitter taste spread in his mouth.

Maybe it was because of a change in mood, maybe it was because the wind was really strong, Yang Xinxin didn't insist anymore, and sat down at the place where Zhang Lexing was painting just now.Zhang Lexing picked up a chair next to the drawing tools and sat down.

Seeing Zhang Lexing's drawing on the workbench, Yang Xinxin asked curiously: "I heard from Uncle Zeng that you often draw on the balcony, is this it?"

Zhang Lexing replied, "Yes, but these are still half-finished products."

"Oh, what is this drawing of yours?" Yang Xinxin picked up one and asked while looking at it, seeming very interested.

"Manga, it's just that the one you took is just a pencil drawing." Zhang Lexing explained.

"I didn't expect you to draw this again. Let me see if you've finished it." Yang Xinxin looked at Zhang Lexing expectantly, and that posture didn't seem to be so easily dismissed.

"There are still some paintings that were done before in the bedroom. You can read them if you want, but don't mess up the order of the drawings." No way, Zhang Lexing had to contribute a part of the manuscripts first.

After receiving Zhang Lexing's manuscript, Yang Xinxin quickly calmed down, "Once upon a time, there was a deep mountain thousands of kilometers away from the capital, and this whimsical story of ours started from here..." As the plot unfolded, she Gradually immersed in it.Zhang Lexing has been clean for the time being, but since then there has been one more routine. Every day when Yang Xinxin comes home from get off work, she will ask Zhang Lexing to get some sketches to look at. If she is unlucky, Zhang Lexing has to add more when she is on weekends. It used to look very thick. The manuscripts are getting thinner and thinner.

After more than two weeks, something Zhang Lexing and Yang Xinxin didn't want to see finally happened, and it was over!

"Why are you drawing so slowly? It took me so long to draw so much. I haven't watched it since yesterday." Yang Xinxin muttered to Zhang Lexing very dissatisfied.

"Sister Xin, I'm alone. I have to study the computer in the morning, and I have time to draw in the afternoon. This week, in order to speed up the progress, I have to draw for two hours at night, but this cartoon is very troublesome to draw. Or How about changing it from once a day to once a week?" Zhang Lexing was also in great pain, during this period of time he was only able to study computers because he was drawing comics, and if he kept going like this, he would probably become a professional cartoonist.

"That won't work. You only update four or five pages at a time. I can't afford to wait for one update a week." Yang Xinxin immediately rejected the proposal.

"Sister Xin, I'm alone. Even if you cut me off, I can't draw so many." Zhang Lexing had a headache, and his plan was not like this.

"Otherwise, you won't be able to do it all by yourself. It should be much faster if you find a few more people to help." Yang Xinxin quickly came up with an idea.

Looking for someone to help?Zhang Lexing thinks this is a good idea. Not only can he get rid of the comics in his hand earlier, but he can also get out of this aspect earlier and devote his energy to what he is better at.

"Very well, then let's set up a comic studio!" With a solution to the problem, Zhang Lexing felt much better.

Ah Can is a small person, ridiculous, but not a bad person .
