I feed on gods

Li Wei's mind was buzzing, not because of the impact of Lin Baici's words, but because he couldn't understand why there was such a big gap between everyone who went to college in Haijing for one year.

Could it be that the food at Haijing Institute of Technology is more nourishing?

Then should I hang out with Xiaobai more often and eat more meals in the cafeteria of Haijing Institute of Technology?

In the pavilion in the community, there was a group of old men playing chess. Every time they took a step, they used the chess pieces to make the chess board snap. I don't know if it was to attract attention or to increase the momentum.

Lin Baici entered Unit 2 of Building 6, and the light immediately dimmed.

This is an old community with no elevators and even the stairs are made of cement. Due to disrepair, many places have exploded and are full of cracks and potholes.

The corridor is already narrow, and some people put shoe cabinets, cardboard boxes, trash cans and other debris in the corridor, making the space even more cramped.

Lin Baici carried his suitcase and went up to the fourth floor. He looked at the brown-red security door of 402. Although it was shabby, a friendly atmosphere came to his face, even the "福" with one corner tilted up on the door. The words are all comfortable to look at.

Lin Baici pressed the corner of the word "福", then took out the key and opened the door.

It's past 5 o'clock now, and my mother shouldn't have gotten off work yet!

really!

Open the door, the house is quiet.

Lin Baici bent down, took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet next to the door, put them on, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then returned to the living room.

I opened the window for some ventilation, and then went to my mother's master bedroom for a walk.

Still as simple as ever!

Lin Baici's home is 65 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room, so the second bedroom Lin Baici lives in has the functions of a study and a bedroom.

The single bed is now covered by a large quilt to protect it from dust.

Lin Baici ran his fingers across the books on the bookshelf. There was no dust, which meant that his mother often cleaned this place.

Click!

Lin Baici turned on the desk lamp!

The dim light exuded the smell of home. Many nights, Lin Baici would burn the midnight oil under this lamp.

After briefly tidying up the bedroom, Lin Baici saw that it was almost time and went to the kitchen.

There are no vegetables, but there are still two bottles of pickles made by my mother in the refrigerator.

Lin Baici found a pair of chopsticks, opened the bottle of pickles, took a bite, and felt the salty taste on his tongue. He changed his shoes and went out to buy groceries.

Get in the kitchen and make a great dinner today!

…

At 7 o'clock, Li Guiru, wearing a gray overalls, came home from get off work. When she opened the door, she saw the light in the living room was on.

Li Guiru's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Has a thief come?

Li Guiru didn't bother to change her shoes, so she rushed to the bedroom to see if her bank card and passbook were still there, but after running a few steps, she heard a voice that was familiar to her bones.

"Mom? Are you back?"

It's my son!

The worried expression on Li Guiru's face instantly turned into a smile, and then she saw her son walking out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

"Why didn't you call me when you came back?"

Li Guiru complained, then turned around to go out: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

She planned to cook some noodles at night, stir-fry chopped green onions and eggs, and just deal with it. Now that her son is back, she must eat better.

"I've steamed the rice and selected the vegetables. When you come back, we can start cooking!"

When Li Guiru heard what her son said, she didn't bother to wash her hands or change her clothes. She hurried to the kitchen and said, "You just came back, what are you doing?"

Li Guiru was worried that Lin Baici would be burned, and she was worried that he would waste things. After all, her son had not cooked for a year.

In the kitchen, the pressure cooker was steaming.

On the chopping board, there were vegetables and meat cut by Lin Baici, all served in bowls.

"You go and rest, I'll do it!"

Li Guiru went to change clothes and wash hands, preparing to take over.

"No, I can handle it!"

Lin Baici was peeling garlic.

"Okay, go and have a rest!"

Ever since she saw her son, although Li Guiru's tone was a bit harsh and she never said any intimate words, the smile in the corners of her eyes could not go away.

"I'll give you a hand!"

Lin Baici was still hanging around in the kitchen.

While Li Guiru was busy, she asked Lin Baici whether his college life was going well, whether he was keeping up with his studies, and how he was getting along with his classmates.

"Mom, what do you usually eat?"

Lin Baici watched his mother cooking.

"Noodles, steamed buns, rice!"

Li Guiru works very neatly.

"You should eat better!"

Lin Baici didn't believe it.

There was no food at home, and my mother didn’t buy anything when she came back. I guess she just made do with one meal to save money!

"I ate in the factory for lunch, and I wasn't hungry at night!"

Li Guiru explained.

"How is the current performance of your food factory?"

When Lin Baici came back this time, even if he couldn't take his mother with him, he didn't want her to work.

"fine!"

Li Guiru was afraid that her son would be worried, so she didn't tell him that the factory had a new leader and was messing around so much that the factory almost went bankrupt.

I heard that in order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the factory is planning to lay off some elderly workers recently.

…

After eating, Lin Baici took the initiative to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Li Guiru.

"You are very tired after riding the train all day. Take a shower and go to bed early!"

Li Guiru refused to let Lin Baici help.

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

Lin Baicixin said, with my physique, I would not be tired even driving back from Haijing, let alone taking a car.

Li Guiru couldn't resist her son, so she had to let him wash the dishes.

After cleaning up, it was past eight o'clock, and the two of them sat on the sofa.

Before Lin Baici could say a few words to his mother, his cell phone rang.

It’s Xia Hong Yao!

Click to answer.

"Are you home?"

On the screen, Tall Ponytail was standing in front of a filing cabinet, looking for something.

"arrive!"

Lin Baici frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Work overtime and write reports!"

Xia Hong has a headache: "My sister said that this report is to be submitted to the headquarters, so we can't fool it like before. I'm really worried!"

"Ask Qingqiu to help you!"

"Looking for it, Qingqiu asked me to write it myself, just as a review and to exercise my brain!"

Xia Hongyao was unconvinced: "Although my brain is not as good as Sherlock Holmes but is stronger than the average person, do I need to exercise it?"

"Do you know what the big guys in the group call me?"

"Detective Xia!"

"Ha ha!"

Lin Baici couldn't help but laugh, where do you get the confidence to say you are better than ordinary people?

"Hey, I found it!"

As Xia Hongyao spoke, she stuffed her phone into the bear and reached for the files on the top of the cabinet.

Lin Baici looked at the screen on his phone, which was completely blank, and the camera was still shaking. A burst of bullets made him suddenly sweat.

Is this also a place where you can put your cell phone?

Or are you showing off your big bear?

Ten seconds later, the phone was revealed again.

"I feel relieved knowing you're home safe."

Xia Hongyao scratched his hair: "No more chatting. I will finish the report as soon as possible and then go find you!"

"Don't you go directly to Hong Kong Island?"

Lin Baici was surprised.

"We, male and female, will of course act together!"

"Okay, okay, stop using idioms randomly!"

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Baici hung up the video, and then saw his mother looking at him.

"Are you friends with...?"

Li Guiru originally wanted to ask if he was a classmate, but he heard the words "overtime" and "report". Generally speaking, students don't work overtime, right?

"good friend!"

Lin Baici added one more word.

The two hadn't seen each other for a year, and they had a lot to say, but before they chatted for long, Lin Baici's cell phone rang again.

It's Ji Xinyan!

Lin Baici quickly got up and went back to the bedroom.

Don't let mom hear this conversation!

"I just got home and I saw the house. It's very good and I can buy it!"

Ji Xinyan reports.

"Then buy it!"

Lin Baici believed in Ji Xinyan's judgment: "I will transfer the money to you right now!"

"Suddenly I feel like a housekeeper!"

Ji Xinyan chuckled: "There is a problem. When the house is transferred, you have to sign the real estate certificate, so thank you for your hard work and come back again!"

"I won't go back, I signed it for you!"

"What?"

Ji Xinyan was stunned. She thought that Lin Baici asked her to look at the house because he was worried that the house was not worth buying. The trip was in vain. Now it is worth buying. Why hasn't he come back?

"Sign your name!"

Lin Baici repeated it.

"That house is mine!"

Ji Xinyan rolled her eyes: "It's more than ten million, and you're not afraid that I won't admit it?"

"It's okay, I'll steal you and the house back when the time comes!"

Lin Baici joked.

"roll!"

Ji Xinyan laughed and scolded: "Seriously, are you really not coming back?"

"Um!"

A real estate transaction worth more than 10 million yuan is not worth the trip.

"Okay, I'll try my best, but it may not go well!"

The date of returning home will probably be postponed for at least a week, but Ji Xinyan is quite willing to run errands for Lin Baici.

"You've been tired for a day, go and rest quickly. It doesn't matter if you can't buy a house, don't tire yourself out!"

Now Lin Baici is rich and his need for money is not very urgent.

"Well, I'm going to take a shower!"

"88!"

Lin Baici returned to the living room and saw his mother looking at him.

"girlfriend?"

If not, shouldn’t we hide ourselves?

"Well……"

Lin Baici didn't know how to answer.

Li Guiru didn't want her son to be embarrassed, so she changed the topic. After only a few minutes of chatting, Lin Baici's cell phone rang again.

It's the boss lady!

Compared to Ji Xinyan, this person was even more important, and Lin Baici didn't dare to let his mother hear the content of the chat.

If the boss lady wears revealing clothes and makes shocking remarks, she will die in front of her mother.

So Lin Baici returned to the bedroom.

Wait for the video to come through.

Sure enough, it is right to be cautious.

The landlady was wearing pajamas. Because the belt was tied casually, the skirt was a little loose and a lot of skin could be seen.

"Are you home?"

The landlady took a sip of red wine: "Let me admire the home where you grew up?"

"Another day!"

Lin Baici didn't dare to go out. What if his mother asked?

"Is sister at home? How about I say hello?"

the landlady asked.

"elder sister?"

Lin Baici was stunned for a moment, then realized that Nangong Shu should be talking about his mother, and then he got a big head.

Aunt Shu, what do you want to do?

"Haha, are you scared?"

Nangong Shu laughed heartily: "I'm just kidding you!"

"Okay, I know my status is inconvenient, so I won't contact you recently!"

Nangong Shu winked: "But when you come back from summer vacation, you have to make it up to me!"

"Um!"

After dealing with the landlady, Lin Baici breathed a sigh of relief.

One piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news is that this summer vacation, I will be safe. The bad news is that when school starts, I may be turned into a drug by the boss's wife.

Lin Bai resigned and just sat down when his mother spoke.

"Isn't it the same girl as the one just now?"

Li Guiru actually didn't know, but when she saw her son's expression, she immediately confirmed it.

Not the same girl.

I have to say that Li Guiru has raised Lin Baici for 19 years and knows everything about him very well.

"girlfriend?"

The son didn't admit it just now, so this one should be, right?

"no!"

Lin Baici answered decisively.

Because the boss lady said that you don’t have to take responsibility for yourself.

"Then why are you hiding in the house?"

Li Guiru didn't understand.

"..."

Lin Baici was sweating profusely, and suddenly found that dealing with his mother was more difficult than purifying a rule pollution.

Fortunately, Li Guiru also knows that her children have their own secrets when they are older and should not interfere too much.

"Mom, let me peel an apple for you to eat!"

Lin Baici took action, but just as he finished peeling the apple and cut it into pieces on the plate, his phone rang again.

This time it’s Kim Young-jin.

Lin Baici looked up and saw Li Guiru looking at him.

"Mom, eat the apple!"

Lin Baici smiled awkwardly.

"Are you going back to the room to answer the phone this time?"

Li Guiru asked.

"Also...you don't have to answer it."

Lin Baici definitely didn't dare to accept it in front of her mother. According to the habits of Korean girls, she was now wearing either tight-fitting yoga clothes or other sexy clothes. This made her mother see it and couldn't explain it.

"For girls?"

Li Guiru asked again.

"..."

Lin Baici was about to answer when he was interrupted by Li Guiru.

"Go answer the phone. If you answer me that the other person is a man, I will be even more scared!"

Li Guiru sighed. The child is older and has a private life.

Facts have proved that Lin Baici was wrong.

In the past, Jin Yingzhen wore yoga clothes and made video calls too many times, which made Lin Baici frightened and defensive.

This time, Jin Yingzhen was dressed in professional attire and working overtime in the office.

"Are you home?"

Jin Yingzhen knew the day when Lin Baici returned home.

"Um!"

Lin Baici looked at Jin Yingzhen and actually had a layer of dark circles: "Pay attention to your health, don't be too tired!"

After a brief chat, Lin Baici hung up the video and walked out of the room.

"Mom, why don't you eat the apple?"

"Go back to your room and rest!"

Li Guiru got up and prepared to wash up.

"It's still early, let me chat with you for a while!"

Lin Baici just went home today and wanted to spend time with her mother.

"I'm afraid I'll see you back home to answer the phone again!"

Li Guiru thought to herself, how many girlfriends have you had in the past year since you left?

In Li Guiru's view, Lin Bai resigned from college and had no other secrets besides having a girlfriend who was too embarrassed to let herself know.

"No, I'll turn off the phone!"

Just as Lin Baici finished speaking, Jasmine's cell phone rang again.

This time it was Gu Qingqiu.

Lin Baici's eyes suddenly lit up

You came just in time!

I am worried about how to start the topic of 'income' with my mother.

"Don't make any noise, it's my boss!"

Lin Baici warned Li Guiru and connected the video: "Boss, what are your orders?"

Gu Qingqiulan was very enthusiastic, not to mention that Lin Baici had mentioned this matter before, so now she knew what was going on when she heard Lin Baici's line.

"There is a BUG, ​​please fix it immediately!"

Gu Qingqiu acted like a young lady and said arrogantly: "The company has just been established and it's a busy time. Come back as soon as you're done taking vacation!"

"Okay, I'll do it now!"

Lin Baici took out his notebook from his backpack and immediately went back to the bedroom.

After closing the door, Lin Baici started typing on the keyboard so that his mother could hear it.

Gu Qingqiu watched Lin Baici's performance with great interest.

This kind of Lin Baici is quite new.

After pretending for a few minutes, Lin Baici whispered: "Sorry to trouble you!"

"As for it?"

Gu Qingqiu felt that Lin Baici was too cautious: "Can't you just tell your mother that Jin Ying really likes you?"

"If your mother doesn't like Koreans, I can be your nominal girlfriend!"

Gu Qingqiu deliberately teased Lin Baici. She knew that this boy would definitely not do this.

"If my mother knew that I was spending women's money, she would absolutely despise me to death, and she wouldn't be able to hold her head high in front of my relatives!"

Lin Baici sighed, my mother is very proud.

"How about I wait for you in person and act out a play with you?"

Gu Qingqiu suddenly wanted to come to Guangqing.

"Don't come and join in the fun!"

Lin Baici refused: "Hurry back to Hong Kong Island and wait to entertain us!"

"Hey, if you don't explore the Shenxu, you will suddenly find that life is so boring!"

Gu Qingqiu urged: "Then come quickly, I'm still waiting to go to Longgong Island to eat seafood!"

When Lin Baici returned to the living room, he could no longer see his mother. She was washing up in the bathroom.

Lin Baici walked over and explained through the door.

"It's my boss calling."

"She was starting a business and when she was looking for people, she went to our department to attend a few classes. I performed well and was selected!"

"Do you know how much salary he pays us a month?"

"Thirty thousand!"

"Her family is already rich!"

"Her father is the CEO of Hong Kong Minsheng Industrial. He has been a big landlord since the late Qing Dynasty."

Lin Baici said this to hint to his mother that this is a rich man, so he pays his employees such high salaries.

Li Guiru was not shocked by the figure of 30,000, but warned Lin Baici: "They give you such a high salary, just work hard and don't think about anything else!"

"What else?"

Lin Baici didn't understand.

"Just don't think about pursuing her!"

Li Guiru said it more bluntly.

"Ah?"

Lin Baici didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you worried that I'm a gigolo?"

"Now there are all kinds of short videos on the Internet, I have also seen them, such as marrying a good girl, saving decades and lifetimes of struggle!"

Li Guiru was worried that her son couldn't bear the hardship and wanted to take shortcuts.

But if he married a girl from such a family, the husband's family status would probably not be high, and he would suffer a lot.

When her son came back this time, Li Guiru saw him in the living room for the first time and found that he had changed.

He grew a little taller, and his body became more sturdy and strong. He looked tall and big, and he looked safe. His face was more and more angular and handsome.

Oh, and he had an indescribable temperament.

If Lin Baici's grades were not good enough, Li Guiru would have suspected that the girl from Hong Kong hired her son just for him.

After all, her son really had the capital to be a gigolo.

"Mom, I have a good appetite, I don't need to be a gigolo!"

Lin Baici thought to himself, I'll eat early, and there's more than one.

"What does your boss look like?"

Li Guiru was a little curious.

"She's a big beauty, but she looks sick!"

Lin Baici opened the album on his phone, found a photo of Gu Qingqiu, and showed it to Li Guiru!

"So beautiful?"

Li Guiru was surprised. In the photo, Gu Qingqiu was sitting in the library with a book in front of her and a pen in her hand.

Looking at this shot, the girl should be sitting opposite her son, smiling at him.

The sun shines down, and the pure and intellectual beauty comes to you.

"You really don't have any feelings for her?"

Li Guiru asked. She is not stupid and can see that the smile of this girl is definitely not a smile between ordinary classmates.

"Yeah."

Lin Baici nodded immediately to show his innocence.

"You..."

Li Guiru hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Baici was confused.

"What kind of girls do you like?"

Li Guiru was curious. You don't like such a beautiful girl?

Is there a hole in your brain? Or do you have any quirks?

Wait,

Your son won't like someone a few years older?

Or...

Like the kind of coquettish and explicit ones?

"How should I know?"

Lin Baici was overwhelmed. This topic made him very embarrassed: "You should know when you meet her!"

"..."

Li Guiru began to have a headache. Her son had never experienced love, and he might suffer a few losses from women.

It's okay to suffer losses, but I'm afraid that he will be "hurt" too much and hit him to the point of being unable to recover.

If Lin Baici heard Li Guiru's inner voice, he would definitely burst out laughing. Have you ever been in love?

None of the girlfriends I've dated are ugly.

I've learned dozens of postures.

Although he has been driving for less than a year, he is already an experienced driver and drives very steadily!

"Mom, I'm making money now, and after graduation, my job should not be bad, and I can earn a million a year steadily, so don't worry too much!"

Lin Baici took the opportunity to persuade: "Or, why don't you quit your job?"

"The future is the future, and now is now!"

Li Guiru didn't listen to Lin Baici at all. She didn't want to put pressure on her son, so she didn't let the child save money, but prepared to work hard on her own.

Li Guiru has seen houses in Haijing. The cheapest one costs four or five million, so she has to work hard to make money now, otherwise the child can't rent a house when he gets married in the future, right?

In Li Guiru's heart, the child is very good. If he is admitted to a good university in a big city, he should never come back.

"Mom, to be honest, the money you earn is useless!"

Lin Baici pinched his fingers and compared: "A drop in the ocean!"

"Even if it's a drop in the ocean, it can fill my stomach!"

Li Guiru came out: "Okay, go take a shower and rest. Reply to whoever you need to reply to. It's not important to chat with me!"

"Then I'll take a shower!"

Lin Baici also knew that persuading her once would not work, so he could only take it slowly.

When he came out of the shower, his mother had already tidied up the bedroom and went back to her room.

It was like this before. No matter what Li Guiru did, she was always gentle and tried to create a quiet study space for Lin Baici.

Lying on the bed where he had slept for more than ten years, Lin Baici looked at the yellowed ceiling. On the right side of the energy-saving lamp was the blood mark left by the mosquito he killed in his second year of high school. He suddenly felt like he was back in the past.

"It's time to go to bed!"

Lin Baici muted his phone, turned off the lights, and lay on his side.

Just an hour later, Lin Baici opened his eyes.

There was music from the upstairs.

Lin Baici looked at his phone. It was 10:30.

He thought that the people upstairs might not have noticed that the music was too loud and disturbed the neighbors, and that they might stop playing after this song, but Lin Baici was wrong.

Half an hour later, the rap was still going on.
