Winner Takes All

This is a hypothetical picture of a cousin and uncle when he was a child. It is not related to the content of the text. On June 1, children's day, we send seven year old cousin and eighteen year old Uncle Li ~~

------------------------------- line ---------------------------

"Xiao Shuo, hurry up."

"Now."

Li Shuo shakes the wet spots on his hair, rubs them with a towel in disorder, and holds his jeans in one hand. As a result, he stumbles over his trousers and almost rolls on the carpet.

Finally, he put on his clothes. He grabbed his backpack and swung it onto his back, buttoned his cap on his wet hair, and ran downstairs quickly.

His parents are waiting for him downstairs.

"Dad, mom, I'm ready." Li Shuo's face is full of wet water and sunny smile.

"My hair didn't blow dry." The Lifu man took off his cap. "It's not that urgent. Go blow your hair."

"Forget it. It's not good to be late. It's hot. I'll be back soon." Li Shuo pressed his mother's shoulder and looked carefully. "Mom, you are so beautiful today."

Mrs. Li smiled happily: "let's go."

A family of three went out.

Mr. Li asked casually, "when will your SAT scores come out?"

"Next week, I'm evaluating the school." Lishuo said with a little excitement, "I'm hesitating whether to stay in New York or go to the south?"

"Stay in New York, of course, and what to do so far away." Mrs. Li rushed.

"Let his son decide for himself when he grows up."

"It's up to him to decide, but as a parent, give him advice."

Lishuo smiled and grabbed his mother's hand: "I will take your opinion as an important reference standard."

"That's good." Mrs. Li touched her son's hair and looked at the young and handsome face, filled with pride. "In a moment, you will see Uncle Zhao, and you can also listen to his opinions."

"Well, what kind of man is he?"

"He is a very farsighted person. Otherwise, how can he lead such a large enterprise?" Mr. Li said, "he is also very peaceful. Today is just an informal dinner party of the chamber of Commerce. If you are not shy, it will help you to chat with him."

Li Shuo said with a smile, "I'll talk to the man who let dad appreciate him so much."

Today is a dinner party jointly held by three vice presidents of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, mainly to welcome Zhao Rongtian, the new vice president. Li Shuo was a teenager and didn't like to participate in such gatherings. He always gave up because he was busy studying. But now he has finished his exam. He can't bear to refuse such family activities if he wants to leave his parents and go to university in other cities.

When they arrived at the hotel, the concierge led them to the banquet hall. This time, seven or eight tables of people came, all of them from New York's famous Chinese families. But because of their family, they inevitably became noisy. In the banquet hall, you can hear the unbridled laughter. It turned out that several children were running after each other. When a small man ran past them, he bumped his head on lishuo's leg.

Li Shuo was startled. He looked down and saw a child lying at his feet. He was covering his face and humming.

Lishuo quickly squatted down and picked him up: "little friend, are you ok? Hit it there? " He gently took the child's hand, which covered his face, and then stayed.

It was a little boy who was as beautiful as a puppet doll. His round face only had a delicate point in his jaw. His eyes were black, bright and deep. His eyelashes looked like two small fans. They flashed and twinkled. His lips were tender, red and slightly cocked. He also had some crystal saliva. He was innocent. His nose was red. Maybe it was a collision.

Li Shuo examined his arms and legs, and said softly, "little friend, does it hurt?"

The little boy looked at lishuo, blinked, didn't cry or cry, shook his head and nodded again.

"Oh, I'm sorry." A beautiful lady ran over. "Children like to run around. Did they bump into you?"

"I'm fine..."

"Eh, President Li?"

"Ah, sister-in-law, isn't this xiaojinxin?"

Mr. Li and his wife, who are exchanging greetings, turn around and see this scene: "xiaoshuo, this is your aunt Zhao, this is xiaojinxin, this year..."

"Seven years old." Mrs. Zhao smiled, "you are lishuo. Last time I heard your parents mentioned you, I always wanted to see you. You are so handsome, big boy."

Li Shuo said politely, "Hello aunt Zhao, this little friend Ah, Jin Xin, is he OK? He hit me. "

"It's OK, it's OK, Jinxin. Did you run into someone else and apologize?"

Zhao Jinxin looked up at Li Shuo and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, uncle."

Everyone around laughed.

Mrs. Zhao patted his head: "what uncle, call brother."Li Shuo smiled and waved: "it doesn't matter."

"I'm sorry, brother." Zhao Jinxin bit his lips and suddenly smiled at Li Shuo. The smile was sweet and innocent, which made people's hearts melt.

Li Shuo rubbed his soft hair and said with a smile, "it doesn't matter."

"President Li, come and sit with us." Mrs. Zhao said that she would pick up Zhao Jinxin.

Zhao Jinxin twists her body, breaks her mother's hand, and grabs Li Shuo's corner.

Mrs. Zhao looked at him and said, "Jinxin, do you want your brother to hold you?"

Zhao Jinxin nodded and looked up at Li Shuo, his eyes bright.

Li Shuo bent over and picked up the child, holding him with one arm: "OK, brother holds you."

Zhao Jinxin put his arm around lishuo's neck and whispered in his ear, "brother, I think you are fragrant."

Li Shuo chuckled, "my brother just took a bath."

"Nice smell..." Zhao Jinxin buried his face in the neck of lishuo and arched, "brother, shall we be friends?"

Li Shuo laughed twice, and he was full of love for the beautiful and lovely boy: "well, then we are friends."

Li Shuo took Zhao Jinxin to his seat. As soon as he sat down, Zhao Jinxin climbed onto him: "brother, didn't you say you want to hold me?"

"Jin Xin, how do you make brother eat like this?"

"You can eat it." Zhao Jinxin sits on Li Shuo's leg and looks up to smile sweetly at him.

Li Shuo said with a smile, "it doesn't matter. I hold him."

Mr. Li introduced a circle of people on the table with a smile, and finally introduced Zhao Rongtian, the protagonist of the dinner party.

Zhao Rongtian's age is not far from his father's. He is an old son. He has heard that his family has a great deal of treasure for his son. Today, Li Shuo can understand that such a beautiful and lovely son is really afraid of falling in the palm of his hand and melting in his mouth.

Zhao Rongtian is as his father said. He is friendly, generous and dignified. At first sight, he is a big man. Unfortunately, Zhao Jinxin is dishonest about him. He can only play with him. He has no time to talk to Zhao Rongtian.

"Brother, I eat that, that."

Li Shuo took a lotus root clip to the plate, blew it, and sent it to Zhao Jinxin's mouth.

Zhao Jinxin took a bite: "ah, hot..."

Li Shuo quickly handed him the drink: "come, drink some water, I thought it was not hot."

Zhao Jinxin had a drink of saliva, and then opened his lower lip to lishuo. He said pitifully, "brother, is my mouth swollen?"

Lishuo couldn't help but want to laugh: "no, it's OK." He took out a tissue and wiped Zhao Jinxin's mouth.

"Brother, you eat too." Zhao Jinxin picks up the lotus root clip with chopsticks and hands it to Li Shuo's mouth. Li Shuo smiles and takes a bite.

"Oh, Jinxin likes brother lishuo so much. Why?" A grown-up next to him teased him.

Zhao Jinxin twisted her little head and said without hesitation, "my brother is fragrant and beautiful."

A table of people burst into laughter.

Li Shuo rubbed his little head and smiled without saying a word.

"Jin Xin, Li Shuo's brother is not only good-looking, but also very smart, filial and kind-hearted. He plays tennis very well. You need to learn more from him, do you know?"

Zhao Jinxin nodded: "brother, I also want to play tennis. Can you teach me?"

"Well, when do you want to learn?"

"Now." Zhao Jinxin knelt on lishuo's thigh, swayed around his neck, said coquettishly, "brother taught me."

"Well, ask Mom and dad when they will come to my house. I have a tennis court. I'll teach you how to play."

Zhao Jinxin immediately looked at his parents and looked forward to it.

Zhao Rongtian said with a smile, "I will take you to play some other day. Thank you brother lishuo."

"Thank you, brother." Zhao Jinxin put his lips to lishuo's cheek, took a sip, and then arched his chest with a small head, making it soft and coquettish.

Li Shuo pinched his little tender face, and the corner of his mouth could not help rising.

Child, it's lovely.

After a few days, Mrs. Zhao really brought Zhao Jinxin to lishuo's house for fun.

Li Shuo just called a few friends to play ball that day. The weather was hot. They played a few games and hid in the shade to drink beer and chat. The breath of youth was so bright and dazzling.

It's said that Zhao Jinxin is here. Li Shuo grabs a bottle of mineral water, pours his head on his hair, and then shakes his head. The crystal water drops are scattered in the air. Each drop is like a piece of sunshine, which sets off the young man's face with a white and moving color.

Mrs. Zhao was afraid of sun exposure. After giving her son to Li Shuo, she went into the house to have tea and chat with Mrs. Li.

Li Shuo rubbed his wet hair, squatted in front of Zhao Jinxin, and said apologetically, "Jinxin, brother didn't know you would come today, so after drinking wine, he still sweated, and his body doesn't smell good. Do you mind?"Zhao Jinxin looked at his shiny skin, and the pair of eyes with intoxicating gentleness, smiled and shook his head, and threw himself on him: "brother, I miss you, do you miss me?"

Li Shuo laughed and said, "yes, of course."

"Lambert, who is he?"

"It's mine..." Li Shuo takes Zhao Jinxin's hand and goes, "friend."

Zhao Jinxin looks at Li Shuo's friends and sips her lips.

"Friend? Hi, friend, do you want to drink? " Cheng Shengchao raised his glass.

"Don't make a fool of yourself, ha ha ha -" a * girl gave him a light punch.

"Good." Zhao Jinxin said suddenly.

Several people were stunned.

Zhao Jinxin reaches out to get the beer.

Cheng Sheng hurriedly raised his head. "I'm kidding you. Kids can't drink."

"I think it tastes the same as my brother." Zhao Jinxin holds Li Shuo's hand and shakes it.

Li Shuo picked him up and said, "I can give you my shower gel, but you can't drink, walk or play." He suddenly raised the child above his head and ran, shouting.

Zhao Jinxin screamed and laughed.

Li Shuo borrowed a lighter racquet used by a woman from a friend to teach Zhao Jinxin how to hold the racquet. At Zhao Jinxin's age, it's not early to learn tennis, but there is no suitable equipment here, and he thinks that the child is just three minutes hot. Today, he just plays with him.

I didn't expect Zhao Jinxin to study very seriously, which surprised Li Shuo. He guided for half an hour. Seeing that the child was sweating all over his forehead, he took him back to the shade and let him rest for a while.

Cheng Sheng stood up and said, "Lambert, let's have a set."

"Good." Li Shuo turns his racket and says, "Jinxin, wait for me here."

"No!" Zhao Jinxin jumped down from the stool and hugged Li Shuo's thigh. "Brother, you play with me."

"My brother will play with you, but you need to rest now, or you will be tired."

"Then you can rest with me." Zhao Jinxin frowns at Cheng Sheng.

Li Shuo smiled with a good temper: "well, I will accompany you to rest."

"Hey, you're not a full-time baby sitter. Give him to Lisa to understand what a woman is in advance."

Li Shuo said with a smile, "he is only seven years old."

Zhao Jinxin holds Li Shuo's leg and squints at Cheng Sheng.

Li Shuo sits back in his chair. Cheng Sheng feels bored and sits beside him. A group of people chat and enjoy the cool.

After a while, Li Shuo went to the toilet. He was afraid of Zhao Jinxin, and asked if he wanted to go. This time, the child shook his head.

Li Shuo came back from the toilet, but before he reached the tennis court, he heard the crying of the child. He was shocked and rushed to the tennis court.

I saw Zhao Jinxin sitting on the ground, crying and holding a beer bottle.

Li Shuo hurriedly ran over: "what's the matter? What happened to him? "

Lisa chuckled: "we didn't pay attention, he just I had a drink and then I cried

At this time, Mrs. Zhao also came out: "baby, what's the matter?"

Li Shuo was embarrassed. "I'm sorry, auntie. I just went to the toilet, but I didn't see it. He took a sip of wine."

"How can you let children touch wine?" said Mrs. Li

"It's OK," Mrs. Zhao said generously She picked Zhao Jinxin up. "Jinxin, how do you drink?"

"He He asked me to drink. " Zhao Jinxin points to Cheng Sheng with her little finger as she twitches.

Cheng Sheng points to himself, a speechless look: "I I...... "

Li Shuo spread out his hands and said, "if you talk in disorder, children will take it seriously."

"Well, I'm sorry, my fault, I'm sorry." Cheng Sheng looks unlucky.

"Well, go back first. We'll call another day." Their original plan was to have a barbecue party at home at night, but now it's obviously not going to go on.

Cheng Sheng and others had to pack up their own equipment and prepare to leave.

"Brother, hold." Zhao Jinxin pitifully reaches out to Li Shuo.

Li Shuo picked him up and said, "no child can drink, no matter who says anything, you can't drink, you know?"

Zhao Jinxin flashed his long eyelashes stained with tears, nodded, and then opened his lips again: "brother, is my mouth swollen?"

"No, not at all," Li Shuo said, chuckling

Cheng Sheng waved: "Lambert, let's go."

"OK, see you next time."

Zhao Jinxin suddenly made a face at Cheng Sheng and stretched out a piece of powder tongue.

Cheng Sheng was stunned. In a blink of an eye, Zhao Jinxin had buried his face in lishuo's chest. He rubbed his eyes hard and thought he was wrong.Li Shuo carries Zhao Jinxin into the house and rinses his mouth with mineral water.

Zhao Jinxin finished drinking water, lying on lishuo's body, his eyelids became more and more heavy: "brother, I'm sleepy."

"Then shall I take you to bed?"

"Are you with me?" Zhao Jinxin holds Li Shuo's arm, and his little face lies in the palm of Li Shuo's hand. It's cool and comfortable.

Lishuo smiled: "OK, I'll accompany you."

After greeting the two ladies, Li Shuo took Zhao Jinxin into his room and put him on the bed.

The child consumed a lot of physical strength in the court. At this time, sleepiness hit him, and he fell asleep soon. But even if he fell asleep, he still grabbed lishuo's clothes.

Li Shuo looks at Zhao Jinxin's round and angel like face, and his heart is full of soft and warm emotions.

He encircled Zhao Jinxin with his long arm, lay aside and fell asleep.

He had a dream that one day he saw the grown-up Zhao Jinxin
