The Boyfriend Who I’ve Never Met

From that day on, Xie Tao occasionally received various pastries from Wei Yun, some of which she had never eaten.

He is still reticent and seems to be very busy, but often he will reply to her messages.

And staying on the screen of her mobile phone, the portrait as the wallpaper, she always looks at it, still feels particularly amazing.

That afternoon, Xie Tao got a part-time salary in a dessert shop.

Not much, only more than one thousand yuan.

Coupled with the money she made by distributing flyers and selling shortbread candies online, after paying the rent, she still has some left.

Because she started to take on the burden of life too early, Xie Tao knew very well how difficult the ordinary achievements made by firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea are in such a world of fireworks.

She hardly buys snacks, and she doesn't eat much meat in a month.

Sometimes it's too late to work part-time in a dessert shop, so she just comes back and just grabs instant noodles for dinner.

But today, after the salary was paid, Xie Tao decided to go to the vegetable market to buy some meat and cook by herself.

But when she walked towards the community with the meat and vegetables she bought, everything in front of her didn't know when it started to become a vague shadow.

Only one quaint house stood safe.

Among the blurred black surroundings, the lantern hung under the eaves of that house was the only light source in front of her.

"..."

Even though Xie Tao had experienced such a thing for the second time, she was still a little unbelievable when she saw it with her own eyes.

The teenager in a light-colored short-sleeved shirt leaned against the door frame, with a grass in his mouth, and looked at her with a smile, "Meet Sister Taozi again."

"...I rushed home to cook." Xie Tao stood there with a bag of vegetables, and said dryly.

Xie Lan gave a tut, and swayed down the steps with the flip flops. When he walked in front of Xie Tao, he pulled her sleeves and directly dragged her to the entrance of the tavern.

"It just so happens. I want to eat braised pork. You can cook it."

? ? ?

Why is his eyes so good? See the meat in her bag?

"...That's my meat." Xie Tao said.

Xie Lan spit out the grass in his mouth, "Sister, this is what's wrong with you, what's yours and mine, step into this door, we won't distinguish between you and me."

When Xie Tao heard his words, she shrank back when she was about to step into the door, and stood still outside the threshold.

"Then I won't go in..."

Xie Lan didn't expect that she would have this one. He stretched out his hands directly, clasped her shoulders, and easily lifted her into the door.

"..."

Xie Tao was completely stunned.

In the end, all the vegetables and meat she was holding in her hand were made into three dishes and one soup in the back kitchen of the tavern.

While holding the bowl and sitting on the stool, Xie Tao picked up a piece of braised pork, bowed her head and took a bite of rice, and when she looked up again, she was shocked.

"...Where's my meat?"

She stared at the clean plate blankly and questioned her life.

Xie Lan and Lao Xi, who were sitting across from each other, looked at each other, and then both smiled implicitly at Xie Tao.

"I haven't eaten human food for a long time." Old Xi exclaimed.

"I haven't eaten a decent meal for a long time." Xie Lan exclaimed.

Old Xi tilted his head to look at him, "Am I doing that badly?"

Xie Lan stared at him and smiled, "Zone D"

Old Xi took a chopstick to stir-fry seasonal vegetables, "You don't need to eat it."

"Do you think I'm like you, a thousand-year-old fairy? I can't eat a person?" Xie Lan snatched the vegetables from his chopsticks, fed them into his mouth, and pointed to the two dishes left on the table. Said, "This is what people can eat, you know? The pig you made doesn't want to eat it!"

"Demon, fairy?"

While they were talking, Xie Tao grasped the point.

Suddenly, both Lao Xi and Xie Lan looked at her.

The girl sitting opposite squeezed the chopsticks tightly, and her apricot eyes were a little more timid, as if she was a little fidgeting.

"Well, I just said so smoothly, don't be afraid."

Xie Lan gave a dry laugh, then pointed to the old Xi next to him and said, "He is not a fairy, he is a fairy, this year he is 1,360...How old is he?"

Old Xi was eating, and he added a sentence beside him without hesitation, "One thousand three hundred and sixty-four years old."

Xie Lan patted the table, "Ah yes, he is a 1,364-year-old fairy, not an old fairy, nothing terrible."

"..."

But when you are over a thousand years old, it sounds scary, okay? ?

Xie Tao was dumbfounded.

"My little sister has never seen the world at first glance. When will you be as calm as your brother Lan and me?" Xie Lan sighed as he ate.

Old Xi glanced at him indifferently, but he didn't know if he was thinking of something in the past, he laughed, and said nothing.

Xie Lan glanced at him and felt a little frustrated, so he cleared his throat and said, "Of course, it's normal for you to be like this..."

"Uncle Xi, are you really...a god?" Xie Tao didn't want to listen to Xie Lan's speech at all. She looked at Lao Xi who was sitting opposite, and asked cautiously.

When Lao Xi met the girl's curious eyes, he smiled very kindly, "As you can see."

At that moment, Xie Tao suddenly saw a pale golden air flow all over him, circling around, vague as smoke, and his eyebrows, which seemed to be the same as those of ordinary middle-aged men, seemed to be a little more detached from the world. Vigorous.

Xie Tao's eyes widened. She had never thought that one day she would be able to see a living god.

She couldn't speak for a long while.

"how about you?"

After a long time, Xie Tao looked at Xie Lan who was sitting next to Lao Xi.

"I am an ordinary mortal just like you." Xie Lan poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and replied.

Is he an ordinary person?

Xie Tao didn't quite believe it.

"But I obviously saw you using superpowers..."

"That's called a spell."

Xie Lan corrected her, and then said, "It's not only gods who can use spells. Mortals can also use spells with the help of spirit weapons."

Xie Tao's eyes lit up, "Then can I see your spiritual weapon?"

"...No." Xie Lan seemed to be stabbed in some pain, especially when he saw Lao Xi's meaningful smile next to him, he glared at him, a little angry.

Xie Tao looked like he was a little unhappy, so she didn't dare to ask any more.

But she suddenly remembered what the old Xi had said, so she asked, "Uncle Xi, you said before that someone tied another person’s fate to me, and I can ask Wenmingge to be tied to me. Who is that person?"

When she said this sentence, Lao Xi's brows frowned slightly.

"I don't know this for the time being."

In the end, he only said one thing.

"Then, who did this thing? Why does this person tie someone else's life to me?"

Why is it tied to her body?

This is the thing that puzzles Xie Tao the most.

Lao Xi didn't speak, but without a trace, glanced at the phone Xie Tao had placed on the table. Deep in his eyes, there seemed to be many emotions that were hard to see.

"Peach Peach,"

After a while, Xie Tao heard him say, "You don't have to worry, it won't happen to you in the future."

When Xie Tao left the tavern, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Inexplicably Xie Lan pulled in the door, and inexplicably cooked a meal for the two of them, and he only ate a piece of meat...

But this time, Xie Tao finally figured out what the tavern was doing.

On the way Xie Lan sent her back, all the dark reflections were changing. She watched as all the surrounding scenery recovered once again. What she stepped on was no longer a blue slate stained with a little moss, but a floor tile. Neatly arranged sidewalks.

The shadow of the street tree next to it was drawn very long by the dim street lamp. Xie Tao heard Xie Lan, who was walking next to her, talking about the origin of this pub.

The tavern opens late at night to welcome all the destined people in the world.

There are always people who are frustrated, and there are always people who are in distress. If they are lucky enough to break through the barrier and step into this tavern in the middle of the night, what awaits them here is not only the wine, but also the tavern owners and the taverns who can help them out of the current mire. Staff.

But people who are destined are not necessarily good people.

There are always people who hide evil intentions, and there are always people who discard goodness.

If they unfortunately broke through the barrier and stepped into this tavern late at night, there would still be wine and more punishment awaiting them.

"There are too many punishment kits. There are 26 types of punishment in total of 26 letters. Today is mainly closed for business, otherwise it will open your eyes."

These are the original words of Xie Lan.

The tavern is open mainly to accumulate merit.

The merit of incense in the world is an important element to awaken an ancient god.

As the servant of the god, Lao Xi has been doing such things all the time.

The two couplets written by Xie Lan in the door also have a good explanation.

If the person who comes in is a good person, everything will be solved when he walks into the tavern with his front feet and goes out with his hind feet, such as when he encounters any difficulties in front of him.

Of course, if it’s a bad guy coming in, isn’t it just a chance to send someone a thousand miles away?

Xie Tao never knew that there would still be such a miraculous existence in this world.

This is an age of science and technology. Gods and Buddhas seem to exist only in distant rumors forever. Few people will believe that there really are gods in this world.

Xie Tao wouldn't believe it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

The universe really exists.

And God also exists.

It's just that in today's world, the divine veins are withered, and it is no longer the realm full of heaven and gods.

Xie Tao sat at the desk and read the book for a while, then unconsciously raised her head and looked out the half-open glass window.

In the midsummer night, the stars in the sky were shining with shards of light, and the cool night breeze brushed her cheeks, bringing up black and shallow hair strands around her ears.

"I asked Uncle Xi today. He doesn't seem to know who is the one who tied the lives of others to me..."

She picked up the phone and talked to Wei Yun about what happened today.

"I'm really curious about who the hapless guy who was **** by someone is... That day Zhao Yixuan pinched my neck so hard, according to Uncle Xi, I was pinched, and he must have been pinched by the air. , I was so painful being beaten, he must be inexplicably painful too, right?"

"...It's a bit miserable."

She didn't know that at the moment, the miserable "unlucky guy" in her mouth was holding those pieces of letter paper in her hand, and looking at the contents on it, the cold white jade face looked overcast for a moment.

At the end, he sneered.

He really wanted to shut the mouth of this little talk.

Xie Tao still didn't feel anything. When she told him about the tavern, she sighed for no reason:

"Wei Yun, this world seems to be bigger and more mysterious than I thought."

But suddenly realizing that this is a vast, deep, mysterious world, made her seem to be more enthusiastic about life at this moment.

There are too many unknown things in the world.

There are so many magical things.

People can never predict whether their next second will be better or worse.

Just as she had never thought about it, in the life of one person for more than a year, she had never been used to being alone.

It was also like she had never thought that in such a silent starry night, she could find someone and talk to him like this.

The screen of the phone dimmed and then turned on again.

The young man in Jinyi on the screensaver has the best eyebrows in the world, like snow on the mountain, and like the moon in the cloud.

It seems to be a miraculous thing to know him.

So she turned on the phone screen again:

"Wei Yun, it's nice to know you."

The author has something to say: Xie Tao: I don’t know which hapless guy it is...

Wei Yun: Your account is gone :)

Xie Tao: It's nice to meet you.

Wei Yun: You have a number.
