Amorous Short Stories

It was 45:[-] when Tao Yisu woke up.

On the second day when he came here, Ding Qing told him to eat breakfast well, and he agreed, but he got up late and missed it.On the third day, he woke up. It was too troublesome to cook in bed, so he didn't move, and missed another breakfast.When Ding Qing came back in the evening, he took him out to buy a microwave oven, and then made a meal for him on the fourth day, woke him up from the bed, and waited until he had finished eating before leaving.A few days later, Tao Yisu felt embarrassed.He is ten years older than Ding Qing, and he can't take care of himself like a child.So he started to get up early and eat breakfast. Ding Qing only had to wake him up.

By now, Ladybug has taken over the job because his biological clock is more regular, jumping on their bed every morning at 07:30 to wake them up.

Ding Qing threatened him while pulling the ladybug's paw on his face: "Do you know that some places eat dog meat? Ah!" Tao Yisu woke up and looked at the two of them smiling.

Ding Qing wakes up in the morning for a long time and always has no energy. Tao Yisu is heating milk, and Ding Qing is sitting on the dining table in a daze: "I think I may need ten hours of sleep a day."

Tao Yisu raised his eyes and smiled at him.Ding Qing leaned his head on the back of the chair, bared his neck, stretched his muscles and bones, and uttered the voice of an old man who was dying.

"Are you so tired?" Tao Yisu turned off the fire.

"No." Ding Qing stood up to help, and poured the milk into the cup. "It's just different from what I thought."

"Different?" Tao Yisu opened a box of luncheon meat and started frying it.

"I don't know..." Ding Qing went to turn on the toaster, then walked back, leaned against the stove and looked at him, "Maybe I'm tired. Go for a massage tonight, I'll pick you up later."

Tao Yisu nodded and told Ding Qing to get eggs from the refrigerator.Ding Qing opened the refrigerator and looked at the canned luncheon meat in two rows, a little funny: "Buy so many?"

Tao Yisu beamed with joy: "Buy [-] and get a trash can for free." Tao Yisu pointed to the new trash can in the kitchen, "It's amazing."

Ding Qing nodded with a smile, and brought the eggs over.

"Maybe I won't be so tired if I don't go to school..." Ding Qing sighed, crossing his arms, "My mother is really opposed to my dropping out of school, and forced me to break my leg. If I knew it, I would kill it first and play later."

Tao Yisu glanced at him: "Is your class very tight?"

"That's not true. It's just that I have a lot of things to do now, and I can't be too busy here. I have to find time to go to school for one or two classes. It's really troublesome." Ding Qing frowned.

"Then do you have a policy of delaying completion?"

"Yes..." Ding Qing was not sure.

Tao Yisu turned over the eggs: "I think you can take less classes, but you can't take a year off from school. You don't need to make such a hasty decision. The main reason is that it is difficult for you to say what your current status is, and it's not that you' dropped out of school to start a business. , Now is a critical moment or something', you have only been here for two months, and the transition will take some time, you are so busy, is it normal?"

Ding Qing didn't answer, he was thinking about something.

————————————————————————————————————————

Ding Qing went out after dinner, Tao Yisu was left alone at home.

It was very comfortable at first, he could continue to go back to sleep for a while, or go for a walk with the dog, this place is a bit remote, and he needs to take the subway or bus to go to the big shopping mall.Tao Yisu was still interested in sleeping, watering, raising flowers and plants, and teasing the dog, but this kind of life lasted for two months, and he was not very comfortable, because it was boring.

Tao Yisu gradually felt like a housewife, the kind who didn't have her own life.This startled him, he didn't want to be a housewife.In order to avoid this situation, he and Ding Qing's meal expenses are all earned from his business in Chiang Mai, so that he can feel safe.

Ding Qing's changes were more obvious.He was so overwhelmed by Ding's affairs that he didn't care about managing his feelings at all, he seldom even smiled, and often frowned.

One day Ding Qing noticed that they used Tao Yisu's money for food and drink, raised his eyebrows in disbelief, and said indifferently: "Really, I will give you the money later." Then he continued to drink his wine, as if giving to his wife. The macho husband who is the breadwinner.

Tao Yisu was almost angry, but he held back.He thought that Ding Qing had been working hard recently, so forget it.

Tao Yisu would like to go out to do a job or start a business, legal and permanent, but he has no connections in Hong Kong, no skills, and his only specialty is not widely accessible. He wants to ask Ding Qing, but he is not very open.

Ding Qing spends most of the day outside.

Tao Yisu was alone most of the time.

It turns out that living together feels like this.Tao Yisu thought.

After Tao Yisu finished his meal, he led the ladybug out, walked around the park for a while, and remembered that there were no tomatoes at home, so he wanted to go to the supermarket to buy them.The ones in the nearby supermarket are not fresh, so Tao Yisu plans to go to a big shopping mall.The road was a bit far, and Tao Yisu didn't have much money with him, so he had to send the ladybug to a pet boarding place for a while, then take a bus there, and come back to pick up the ladybug.

The bus that Tao Yisu took was very sparsely populated, so he sat at the back seat by the window as soon as he got on.At the next stop, a middle-aged woman came up. She was thin and yellow, with a mid-length ponytail, big eyes, protruding alveolar bones, and her mouth seemed to be unable to close.Wearing a gray-green sweater, with a cloth pocket over his shoulder, and eating a bun in the other hand.As soon as the woman got into the car, she looked at the sparsely populated compartment, went to the back and sat next to Tao Yisu.

Tao Yisu looked at the woman and the empty seat next to him, wondering why the woman sat next to him.

The woman ate the steamed stuffed bun, chewing hard, making a lip-smacking sound. Tao Yisu could tell from the smell that the steamed stuffed bun was mixed with leeks and red beans—what a strange combination.After the woman finished eating the buns, she stuffed the oily plastic bag into her pocket, and took out a string of beads.

Tao Yisu turned his head to look out of the window, pretending to be casual, and opened the window with only a small opening.

After a while, he heard the sound of chattering thoughts coming from beside him. Tao Yisu thought he was talking to him, but when he turned his head, he saw the woman with her eyes closed nervously, her mouth moving and chanting.

Tao Yisu leaned to the side, looking a little weird at this scene.

The woman's mouth is fast, and her voice fluctuates from time to time.There were also people around who occasionally looked over, at the woman, at Tao Yisu.

Tao Yisu was restless.

Tao Yisu never forgot about that woman until he was in the shopping mall, thinking that this world is so wonderful, it can accommodate everyone, including himself and that woman, as well as elites and dignitaries.

When he was buying yogurt, he received a call from pet boarding, saying that the ladybug ran to the tool room to play by herself, and was knocked on her leg by a dropped iron rod, and she couldn't move until the cleaner passed by.They have already bandaged her, and now they want Tao Yisu to come over.

Tao Yisu hurried to the place where the bill was paid, and left in a hurry after paying the bill.

He stood waiting for the bus. The bus seemed to come very slowly, and Tao Yisu was very anxious.

A black car was parked in front of him, and the rear window was rolled down, revealing Mr. Qin's face.

Mr. Qin also seemed surprised to see him: "Mr. Yan, what a coincidence." This is not a suitable place to talk, and they all moved to the side.Tao Yisu briefly greeted him, then turned to look in the direction the bus should be coming.

Mr. Qin asked him: "Where are you going? I'm just strolling around. I know the way. Shall I give you a ride?"

"It's not convenient."

"It's okay, I have nowhere to go." Mr. Qin said and opened the car door.

Tao Yisu thought about it and got into the car.

"Has Mr. Yan's task been completed?" Mr. Qin asked him with a smile.

"Ah?... Oh, yes, it's done." Tao Yisu nodded.

"Are you coming to Hong Kong for vacation?"

"Stay here for a while." Tao Yisu agreed.Mr. Qin always makes him feel uncomfortable.Mingming Mr. Qin can make people relax with a few words, but Tao Yisu is always uncomfortable, probably because when Mr. Qin talks to him, he often has the feeling of a nobleman talking to a commoner.Even if he is telling jokes, even if he is being close, even if he is caring, there is always a sense of superiority, as if looking down on him from the perspective of class and thought.For example, Tao Yisu is a plant that needs to be irrigated, and he is holding a bucket.Like Mr. Qin as Professor Higgins, Tao Yisu is his "fairlady".This feeling is secretive and powerful. If Tao Yisu was not so sensitive by nature, he might not have noticed it.The only dissatisfaction is that Tao Yisu doesn't need irrigation, and he doesn't sell flowers along the street.

"Is Mr. Yan going to pick up his pet?"

He also added a title before every sentence, I don't know if it is because he is not proficient in Chinese.

"Ah yes."

"A dog?"

"Yes."

"What's it called?"

"ladybug."

"What species?"

"Labrador."

Mr. Qin's eyes brightened: "I also have a Labrador."

Tao Yisu's eyes lit up: "What's your name? How old are you?"

"Juno."

"female?"

"That's right." Mr. Qin turned around and changed to an angle facing Tao Yisu. "But she is very old. Now I live with my grandfather. Last week I went back to see my grandfather. Grandpa is not convenient to move. When I left at night, she sent me to the intersection, watched me get into the car, and kept looking at me. Whenever I think of that scene, she squats under the street lamp and looks at me at night, I always feel very sad... You know, she is purebred, and she has more diseases..."

Tao Yisu was a little moved, this is the heart of a dog owner.

arrive.It's time for Tao Yisu to get out of the car.

Mr. Qin asked him, "can I come with you?"

Tao Yisu nodded in understanding.

————————————————————————————————————————

Ding Qing sat in the office, looking at the piles of documents and worrying. He picked up one and glanced at it, then threw it away.There was a loud crash, which startled Luo Dafei who had just entered.

"What's the matter with you?" Luo Dafei sat down and took out a handful of melon seeds, "Do you want to eat melon seeds?"

Ding Qing pulled out his head and gave a fierce look, Luo Dafei leaned back and stuffed the melon seeds back into his pocket.

Luo Dafei changed a more serious tone: "What's wrong?"

Ding Qing smiled instead, and Luo Dafei was a little apprehensive.

"I understand." Ding Qing said.

"Understand what?"

"Look at this." Ding Qing pushed over a thick stack of materials, and the cover said "A Feasibility Analysis Report on Establishing a Freight Transfer Point in Jingmen".Luo Dafei took it and took a look.

The phone rang: "Mr. Ding, Mr. Fang Musi is here."

"Ah."

Fang Musi walked in, sat next to Luo Dafei, and glanced at the document.

Then they returned to Ding Qing: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Ding Qing pressed the table, "This report has written sixty or seventy pages, just to tell me, no, it can't be built. This is just a transit point for 500 people, and it's a preliminary research report. Why? Want to give it to me?" Ding Qing pointed to the thick stack of documents, "These are all such things."

Ding Qing calmed down for a while, pressed his hands down habitually, and was about to start speaking: "I am in charge of a fucking company, should I handle this kind of thing? Is there no special person and department to take charge of it? Then What do they do with their salary? In this situation, I don’t even have a salary. They may have more money than me. Besides, the cover of this report occupies one page, and the geography and humanities of Jingmen occupy a fucking six pages. Something that can be found just by searching the Internet? In the fucking report?!"

Luo Dafei and Fang Musi didn't speak, and Ding Qing became angry.

Ding Qing suppressed his voice again: "When I first came here, I wanted to find out what they were doing right away. But the two secretaries at the door were not the core figures. The department took what I said as fart, and there were people arguing about it every day in the board of directors. I don’t know anything about the meeting again. I sat in the office for the first two days, and no one came up on this floor. When Ding Mao was the chairman, the president was just a decoration, and the board of directors was half a decoration. I Woolen cloth?

I just said to the general manager, 'I'm going to take care of things'.The general manager doesn't think I'm taking his power, people say yes.Since that day, my desk has been full of papers every day.At first I was quite happy, I felt that I could do something.Not at all.Those bastards deliberately gave me this kind of thing and kept me busy as hell, but they didn't know the real key things at all.I wasted two months on this pile of waste paper, and Liu Yao's damn trial is almost over.

Oh shit. "

Ding Qing frowned.

Neither Luo Dafei nor Fang Musi dared to speak.

Thinking of something, Fang Musi said: "Didn't you say that the HR side has changed people, can you change some of your own people?"

Ding Qing shook his head: "What's the use of being able to change. I know people like you who drink and eat to make relationships, but there are always people who need to work."

Luo Dafei and Fang Musi looked away at the table.

Luo Dafei looked at the documents and asked hesitantly, "What's in here? Is there anyone who can use it?"

Ding Qing took out a copy: "I won't talk about those who are stupid. Or they are academics. I don't need it for the time being. There is one." Luo Dafei and Fang Musi looked at the name, Ding Hong.

"This person used to be the second-in-command in charge of finances, but Ding Mao suppressed him when he took the position. The Ding family couldn't throw him out. Now he is a director of risk control."

"Is that very old?" Luo Dafei asked.

"Well, maybe forty or fifty." Ding Qing frowned and thought, "His grandfather belongs to my grandfather... well... Anyway, according to seniority, he is my uncle..."

Fang Musi flipped through the report, and there were only five pages of the feasibility report, one of which was tables and diagrams.The remaining 30 pages are full of blank paper, with a dark line on the background saying: "Please use it as a draft paper. Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility."

Fang Musi raised his eyebrows and put them back: "You didn't choose him because his surname is Ding?"

Ding Qing looked at him: "No. It just happens to be Ding."

Fang Musi nodded, remained skeptical about the answer, and remained on the sidelines about Ding Qing's attitude.

Luo Dafei nodded: "Then bring him up first? Lend him to suppress the board of directors?"

Ding Qing shook his head: "It's okay to mention him, but they won't let me decide on the key position. How much effort would it take me to change the driver... tsk... and I don't think the focus now should be on fighting Ding. People in the board of directors It was uneven, some were with Liu Yao and some were not. If I start to tidy up the board of directors now, let alone whether I can do it or not, it will make people panic, and those who did not follow him will choose him.

So the key point is to get rid of Liu Yao first.Once Liu Yao sank, I was the only boat in the vast sea.Then I just throw whoever I want to throw down. "

Luo Dafei and Fang Musi looked at the burning light in Ding Qing's eyes and remained silent.

The phone rang again: "Mr. Ding, Mr. Ding Mushan is here."

"Ah."

"Ding Mushan?" Fang Musi thought about the name, "Is he your driver?"

Ding Qing shook his head: "Ding Jue is the driver. Ding Fu is the bodyguard. Ding Mushan was released by me. He has a brain, and now he is the spokesperson for me and Yanbian."

Ding Mushan came in, he greeted Ding Qing, Luo Dafei and Fang Musi, and approached narrowly, hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something that was difficult to say.

"What's wrong?" Ding Qing was impatient and wanted him to speak quickly.

"Uncle... Ding Shou has been contacting me for the past two days..." Ding Mushan licked his lips, "He was wondering if...can he be allowed to join the board of directors."

Luo Fang and the two looked at Ding Qing.

Ding Qing smiled with his mouth hooked: "Who told him about the board of directors?"

Ding Mushan was a little embarrassed: "There are quite a lot of people here... come and go, maybe someone will tell him..."

Ding Qing smiled and shook his head, everyone is taking advantage.

"Success, you can find someone to pick him up, and ask him to prepare some money—if he has any—find someone to transfer the shares, and join the club." Ding Qing looked at Fang Musi, "I will help you deal with it later. one time."

Fang Musi nodded.

"Is he rich?" Luo Dafei turned his head and asked Ding Mushan.

"Yes, he has saved money for many years." Ding Mushan replied.

Ding Qing smiled, this old man.

Ding Mushan looked at Ding Qing again: "And brother Qing, I want to ask, if you buy shares, who should you buy with? I don't know the relationship inside, if your plan is messed up..."

Ding Qing sighed through his nose: "Go find Ding Leshen, he is the deputy director, and he is easy to bully. Ding Mao is dead, and he has no backing. Find two people to drive a car and squat in front of his house for two days. Blow the whistle after you go to sleep, and stuff some dirt and rocks into his house, and you still need me to teach you? Scared him, and he signed."

Ding Mushan nodded, but Ding Qing hadn't finished speaking: "Remember, you can only take 30% of his money at most, don't make trouble."

Ding Mushan nodded again, ready to leave.

Ding Qing stopped him.

"Mu Shan..." "Huh?"

"Mulan took care of my mother at my house. She has worked hard, and my mother often praises her. She is doing very well, and she is not bad compared to the male bodyguards in the room." Ding Qing looked at Ding Mushan, "Where are you from? The past is over, where you want to go in the future is the more critical question."

Ding Mushan stood up straight: "Brother Qing, I understand."

Ding Mushan walked out, Luo Dafei asked him: "Is this okay? Ding Shou also got involved..."

"Stir it up, the more messy the better...so that they don't find out my purpose." Ding Qing pressed the Jingming acupoint, "Don't tell me, eye exercises are quite useful."

"Oh, yes, I inquired. I got the information of those two police officers. I'll get it in the afternoon and give it to you in the evening?" Fang Musi proposed.

"Evening?" Ding Qing thought for a while, "I still want to go back at night. I went back in the early morning for many days..."

"You can't go back tonight," Luo Dafei interjected, "We want to see Ding Ziyu tonight."

"Damn it, I forgot..." Ding Qing leaned back on the back, "I'll call home later..."

Fang Musi was confused: "Who is Ding Ziyu?"

Luo Dafei was eager to start talking, and was about to take out the melon seeds. He glanced at Ding Qing, who directly stretched out his hand, and the three of them gathered together and started to crack the melon seeds.

"Brother Qing said that he thinks Liu Yao's success is Gauguin, and it's better to lose Gauguin. We pay special attention to people related to Gauguin. From Macau to now, many people have been in contact with us. What are you doing? There are all of them. One of them is Ding Ziyu. I don’t know where he is from. He has been on the line there since he was a child, and he has been mixed in Southeast Asia. His father and his grandfather seem to be in this business. It started when he was very young. , He took the goods through the customs and hid them in his body. After living like this for many years, his intestines were surgically cut to such a large extent." Luo Dafei stretched out his hand and gestured.

"His father died of a drug overdose when he was in his 30s, and his father is about the same. He doesn't get involved very much. The people in the street mix well, and they occupy a small area and do business there. Then It was not like now, when Gauguin was in charge alone, and then he was divided into districts, and each took care of his own. Later, Gauguin parachuted there—because Brother Qing’s father wanted to suppress Ding’s family, and Ding Zi talked about them. We all have bosses. Many people made trouble at that time and didn’t recognize Gauguin. Ding Ziyu was very active, so he started working for Gauguin. The owner is really tough. Anyway, Ding Ziyu was the last one left among those people. One, by the way, also shouldered the task of supervising Gauguin.

But Ding Ziyu and Gauguin have always been at odds. When exactly...in the past nine years...they broke up.

Both Ding Ziyu and Gauguin exchanged fire. In the Philippines, I heard that the impact was huge, involving a lot of locals, and some Chinese were kidnapped. At that time, it seemed that Chinese soldiers were allowed to enter the country to rescue people?Anyway, it's not like the relationship it is now...

Yeah, it's getting too far.

In the end, Ding Ziyu lost, but he ran away.I don't know where I went, and I haven't been with the Ding family.When Zeng Yong came to power, he asked someone to deliver a letter. Zeng Yong asked him to meet, and then exposed him to Gauguin.But Ding Ziyu was so powerful that he escaped again.When Ding Mao was in power, Ding Ziyu was indomitable and delivered the letter again, but Ding Mao was also on the higher side, you see how dangerous information asymmetry is... But, the strange man Ding Ziyu ran away again, this time he was not so lucky, lame lost a leg.Now Brother Qing is in position, and Ding Ziyu has delivered the letter, but this time he is lucky..."

"There are people like this..." Fang Musi ate the melon seeds, quite interested, "Hey, then do you just trust him? Does he have influence over there?"

Ding Qing patted the ashes on his hands: "It doesn't matter how he can run away so many times? He is definitely not a simple person. If he came to visit me this time, if he felt dissatisfied, he would not stand by me."

The phone rang: "Mr. Ding, Mr. Qi Meng is here."

Luo Dafei continued to ask: "But what Fang Musi said makes sense, we have to find a way to test him?"

Qi Meng sat down quietly: "Should I come in later?"

Ding Qing waved his hand: "I heard Mr. Tao said that there is a man in Chiang Mai who has contacts with Gauguin. You can use this to try."

"Master Tao?" Fang Musi was surprised.

Ding Qing looked at them: "From now on, everyone will call him Mr. Tao."

"why?"

"No reason."

"Speaking of which, how are you doing?" Qi Meng was very interested. This was the first same-sex couple he had observed.

"About this, I have some questions to ask you." Ding Qing put his hands on the table and asked sincerely.

"I could feel he wasn't very happy, but I don't know why."

"How do you know he's unhappy, did he tell?" Fang Musi asked.

"That's right, what if he just looks unhappy?" Luo Dafei followed.

"What's wrong with you two?" Qi Meng glared at them, then turned to look at Ding Qing: "What does he usually do at home?"

Ding Qing thought for a while: "I don't know."

"Where do you live?"

"That's where it used to be."

"So you go out in the morning and go back in the afternoon?"

Ding Qing shook his head: "I go out in the morning and go back in the early morning."

"So, you have breakfast at home in the morning?"

"Of course, that's how you feel about living together." Ding Qing was triumphant.

Luo Fang and the two nodded in cooperation.

Qi Meng continued: "Then did you give the family any money?"

Ding Qing suddenly realized: "Yes, I haven't given it. Should I give money?"

Qi Meng didn't speak.

Fang Musi nodded: "Should."

Qi Meng asked, "Then does he work?"

Ding Qing suddenly realized again: "Yes, he has nothing to do. Does he need a job?"

Qi Meng had a look of disbelief: "Don't you talk to him about this?"

Fang Musi shook his legs: "If he doesn't say it, who knows he's not happy."

Before Qi Meng quarreled with Fang Musi, Ding Qing spoke first: "Maybe it's because I'm not in a good state recently... He probably doesn't want to cause me trouble..."

Fang Musi thought carefully about the image of Mr. Tao in his mind: "Is he this kind of person?"

"Yes." Ding Qing nodded.

Fang Musi said: "I think he is very difficult to get along with."

Luo Dafei answered: "I think he is easy to get along with."

Qi Meng answered: "I think he looks difficult to get along with."

"He is the kind of person who you talk to, no matter how much you hate him, he will answer your words. He is very soft." Ding Qing said.

Others dismissed the word "soft."

Ding Qing continued: "Then if he wants to do something, how can I help him?"

"What does he want to do?" Luo Dafei asked.

"He said before that he wanted to open a bar. How about I buy a bar?" Ding Qing touched his lower lip, "Fang Musi, go and help run around, find a street that is not too busy, the business doesn't have to be too good, it's great He's overwhelmed."

Fang Musi agreed.

Qi Meng smiled: "I am an expert in solving your emotional problems."

Ding Qing also smiled: "You are gay."

Qi Meng raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you gay?"

Fang Musi interjected: "I'm not, why are you involved?"

Ding Qing answered: "You've been in a lot of relationships."

Luo Dafei suddenly turned to look at Qi Meng: "Are you gay?"

Ding Qing looked at Luo Dafei: "You don't know?"

Fang Musi looked at Luo Dafei: "You don't know?"

Qi Meng looked at Ding Qing: "He doesn't know?!"

Fang Musi looked at Qi Meng: "The two of them chat but not you."

Qi Meng choked back: "The two of them chatted and didn't talk about you."

Ding Qing looked at Qi Meng: "Fang Musi doesn't care."

Fang Musi looked at Qi Meng: "That's right, I don't like him."

Luo Dafei looked at Qimeng: "Do you like Ding Qing?"

Ding Qing looked at Luo Dafei: "It's not me, I don't get along with him."

Luo Dafei looked at Ding Qing: "He likes me?"

Ding Qing and Fang Musi looked at Qi Meng: "..."

Suddenly there was silence.

Everyone randomly found a corner to watch.

Ding Qing stood up: "Who wants fried ramen for lunch?"

————————————————————————————————————————

The ladybug had a broken leg, and Mr. Qin offered to take them to the hospital. Tao Yisu initially refused, but he stopped two taxis and refused to bring the dog, so he finally agreed.

Mr. Qin has a magical power. Tao Yisu feels comfortable and happy when talking to him, but once Tao Yisu returns to his own state and can think normally, he will resist people like Mr. Qin.In other words, he doesn't like people like Mr. Qin, but he likes the person Mr. Qin pretends to be.It may be too much to say "pretend", after all, he only treats people politely, hiding his pride and domineering, that kind of condescending feeling is what Tao Yisu wants to feel, many people like such an approachable, gentle and polite elite It's too late.

Tao Yisu bought a small cart for Ladybug and put the dog in it.

Mr. Qin said he was hungry, so he insisted on having a meal together, and Tao Yisu felt very sorry for bothering him for so long.

After dinner, Mr. Qin will send Tao Yisu home.

Where the car is not easy to turn, Mr. Qin will come down to see him off.

They were walking in the alley together, and Mr. Qin was very interested in the dilapidated wall, saying that it was the color of the ancient city.Seeing that Mr. Qin was very excited, Tao Yisu pressed his nose against the wall, rubbing some dust.I thought, let’s be proud if you’re proud, but anyway, he’s a pretty good person.

They pushed the dog and saw a small theater on the street where a group of performance artists were performing. There were no people on the street, and the art seemed extremely deserted.A man in a clown costume took out a water gun and pointed at Tao Yisu, asking him to raise his hand in Cantonese. Tao Yisu understood a lot of Cantonese TV series, but he didn't move.The man was full of emotion, and shouted again, stretched his arms forward, leaned forward, sprayed water, and shot Tao Yisu in the chest.

Before Tao Yisu could react, Ladybug suddenly stood up on her legs wrapped in white gauze, and loudly said "Wow" to the murderer.

Tao Yisu was stunned, reacted for a while, then turned to look at Mr. Qin: "He called!"

The penetrating power of the voice, the fullness of emotion, the limelight overwhelmed the small theater, and everyone watched it together.

Mr. Qin was a little embarrassed, took his hand and walked to the side: "He's a dog, what's wrong with barking?"

Tao Yisu shook his head, not wanting to explain further.

But Tao Yisu smiled all the way thereafter, looking at his ladybug curled up on the cart.

So much so that when Mr. Qin proposed to exchange numbers, he also agreed.

————————————————————————————————————————

Tao Yisu called Ding Qing as soon as he entered the house.

It rang for a while before answering the phone: "What's wrong?"

Ding Qing's voice was very low, Tao Yisu suppressed his own business: "Are you busy?"

The other side sighed, and then said very angrily: "This old man hung up my thesis, and he said that I plagiarized and would report me. Did I plagiarize? I didn't write it at all, my secretary Written... It's so annoying, I have to report to the academic affairs, and said I've missed too many classes, I want to 'talk to my guardian', I'll go to him, my guardian is buried..."

Tao Yisu comforted him: "Why don't I go?"

Ding Qing smiled: "You are my guardian, how long ago have you had me, young hero Xiao Taosu?"

Then Ding Qingrou lowered her tone: "What's wrong?"

Tao Yisu was not so excited anymore, he felt that Ding Qing's matter was quite urgent, and he persuaded him to go to school in the morning: "The ladybug is calling."

"The ladybug called?!" When Ding Qing's voice brightened, Tao Yisu was taken aback, took the phone away from his ear, and smiled again.

"I'll listen, I'll listen."

Tao Yisu leaned the phone towards the ladybug, and the ladybug reluctantly barked twice, trying to save face for the two of them, but Ding Qing was dissatisfied and said on the phone, "Be happy!"

The ladybug could only scream twice happily, and then threw herself into Tao Yisu's arms aggrieved.

Ding Qing was very happy: "Let me know when we meet at night!"

"Okay." Tao Yisu agreed.

"Hey wait a minute." Ding Qing's voice dropped suddenly, "I was just about to tell you, I'm not going tonight, I want to meet someone tonight, I'm going to the boat, it doesn't have to be too late, maybe I won't go back at night ..."

"Ah...Okay, I see."

Ding Qing tried to save the situation: "Are you interested in doing something else? Make more friends, so you won't be bored..."

Before Tao Yisu had time to interject, Ding Qing was called away.He looked at his phone and suddenly wanted to get angry.He admitted that he never thought that living together would be like this. He was used to being alone, and it was not difficult to stay by himself, but he had nothing else to do now, as if he was waiting for Ding Qing all day long. Tao Yisu hated this feeling.And Ding Qing gets up in the morning to have a meal, and if he doesn't come back for dinner at night, he just makes a phone call. He is usually too busy, as if he disappeared, and he has reason to teach himself to make more friends, as if guiding his life.Didn't Tao Yisu know it himself?Asking Ding Qing to point himself like a junior... He originally thought it would be an easy task, but it was impossible.The people he knows and the things he knows are all concentrated around NT and Yan's family. He has no life of his own, and it is not so easy to leave.

Too painful to be stuck in, too lonely to step out.

Tao Yisu pressed his forehead and let out a long breath, sitting alone in the empty room with his head down.When I am alone, the house is quite big, but it is a bit crowded for two people.

Tao Yisu complained and complained, but thought about Ding Qing's words carefully.

...But he has been blind before...

His cell phone rang. It was Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin enthusiastically shared some photos of the art exhibition with him, and asked him if he would be interested in going together.Tao Yisu refused.Mr. Qin invited him to dinner, Tao Yisu looked at his watch, it was 06:30, it was too troublesome to go out.Mr. Qin sent a link to the event about night hiking and asked Tao Yisu if he was interested.Tao Yisu looked at the small colorful lights all over the mountain, thought it was quite interesting, and said to think about it.

Tao Yisu turned on the TV as the background sound, cooked rice, boiled eggs, washed vegetables, ladybugs fiddled with their tails in the nest, everything was just like before.

Something has changed, Tao Yisu is eating dinner, self-sufficient.

Ding Qing went to fetch things with Fang Musi, and boarded the boat with Luo Dafei without even eating dinner.The meeting with Ding Ziyu was connected by Ban Xian'er, who is Ding Ziyu's "Master Feng", who had a friendship long ago, and this time also helped deliver the letter.

Ding Ziyu came earlier, and he sat alone in the cabin.It was a small boat, and beside the boat stood a tall man in black clothes, looking 25, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, white shirt, Kung Fu shoes, and a crew cut.There is a deep scar down the face down to the collar.Although Ding Qing also has a streak on his neck, it is much shallower.The black man had a dark face, fierce eyes, stood up straight with crossed hands, vigilant like a vicious dog.

Ding Qing and the others approached,
