After I was reborn, I was bent by a bamboo horse

The rain in the imperial city was dry and cold, and it was ticking on the leaves outside the window. Liu Baotong squatted on the ground to clean up the mess.

The food I bought was from the hospital cafeteria. This is a private hospital with many types of meals but also expensive. The Tao family paid for the medical expenses and even sent a fruit basket, but the problem of eating has to be solved by myself.

Liu Baotong was thinking about how cautious he was when he entered the hospital cafeteria for the first time, and looked at the price list in a daze. The nurse beside him smiled and introduced to him that the Dongpo pork and West Lake vinegar fish here were the best. He looked at the price list , I just feel that my throat is a little dry.

There are other restaurants around the hospital, but they are only a lot more expensive than the hospital canteen.

In the end, I only ordered a shredded pork with green peppers. Fortunately, he can order the rice as he pleases. He feels that the appearance of scooping up rice is very embarrassing, but he can't help it. Who made him short of money?

But he can't leave, the hospital here is free of medical expenses for them because of the Tao family, and it will cost more to go out to find the hospital by himself, but how can he get the money!

Halfway through packing, the phone rang, it was his eldest daughter Liu Siyu.

At this time, he was very relieved to hear his daughter's voice. His daughter was up to the challenge and got into a good school. Now she is in her first year of freshman year. She just had military training, and she hasn't called back for a while.

Liu Siyu first asked about grandma's situation, and then muttered: "Dad, my living expenses are gone..."

Liu Baotong was startled: "Didn't the 1000 yuan just sent half a month ago go there? Why is it gone?"

"I just paid the sleeping fee, and I have no money...Dad, don't you have the demolition money? Our house hasn't been demolished yet, can't you increase the price? Why is there no money at home?"

Liu Baotong was speechless for a while, and continued: "It's okay, you study hard at school, and I'll send you the money later."

"Thank you Dad! I will go out to work after a while, and I will definitely honor you and Mom in the future!"

——When the money arrives, she will be able to buy the cosmetics that her roommate just introduced. Liu Siyu hung up the phone and curled her lips. How much is the demolition fee? Are her parents really planning to give it all to her younger brother?

Chen Lifen came in with a mop, with a sad face on her face: "Just now Xiao Qi's teacher called and said that he needs to pay the tutoring fee to make up classes after school, and everyone in the class has signed up..."

"I just went back and looked again, but I still didn't see the real estate certificate..."

Liu Baotong's hand wiping the floor shook violently, and suddenly he threw the rag in his hand onto the hospital bed. He knelt on the ground like that, his eyes suddenly turned red, and there were no tears in his eyes, only endless hatred: " Mom, are you trying to kill me?"

He yelled so hoarsely, but the old lady on the hospital bed just looked at him coldly, the expression in her cloudy old eyes was indescribable, quiet and desolate.

The sound of rain dripping outside the window hit the decaying branches and leaves, and fell into the continuous flow of traffic below the hospital.

—no sound.

Tao Xun was stunned in the car for a long time, his brain short-circuited for a moment: "Isn't your house in—"

"The Shen family is not my family." Shen Chen put the car keys in his pocket and opened the umbrella: "Come here."

Tao Xun hurried over, an umbrella naturally couldn't cover two people, Shen Chen's original intention was to ask Tao Xun to come and get the umbrella, but this guy made a mistake and jumped directly under his own umbrella.

Shen Chen stared at Tao Xun with a sullen face for two seconds, his eyes paused for two seconds on his body tensed from the cold, and quietly moved the umbrella towards him.

"Let's go."

What Shen Chen bought was not a luxury house. The location was remote and far away from the city center. After bypassing two clumps of rhododendrons, he arrived at the downstairs of the residents. There are quite a few small advertisements for selling houses and renting houses. The person who took the same elevator with them was an old lady, holding a vegetable basket in one hand and holding her granddaughter in the other.

Tao Xun felt a little unbelievable. He thought that with Shen Chen's temper, even if he bought a house, he would buy a villa with a single family and a courtyard, or a place with glass windows that is clean and bright without even a little dust. He really didn't think of Shen Chen. Chen would actually like such a place full of life.

However, Shen Chen's place is indeed a bit similar to his, clean and tidy without any excess, the place is not too big, with two bedrooms and one living room, the dining room and the living room are combined, and the colors of the decoration are black and white.

There is a master bedroom and a study room. The door of the master bedroom is closed. There are two bookshelves and a desk in the study room. Two suitcases are placed under the table. A simple computer lamp is placed, but nothing else.

The furniture is all made of solid wood, and it feels warm and cool to the touch. Tao Xun surveyed the place inch by inch, and finally couldn't help asking: "Brother Chen, where do I sleep?"

——Could it be that he is sleeping with Brother Chen?

Shen Chen found a pack of spare ribs from the refrigerator, and took out two cucumbers and radishes. He walked to the kitchen with the things in his arms, and said calmly, "Sofa."

It would be nice to have a sofa to sleep on, at least Brother Chen didn’t directly ask him to sleep on the floor. Tao Xun understood the principle of contentment and happiness, so he chased after him to the kitchen, just in time to see Shen Chen chopping radishes, with neat knives and neat movements, just like a variety show A chef who shows off his knives.

"Brother Chen, can you still cook?" Tao Xun opened his eyes wide.

They are all sons who don't touch the spring water with their ten fingers, and Shen Chen's personality is extraordinarily aloof and desolate. It is completely unimaginable that this person can wash his hands and make soup.

"It's not clean outside, don't worry if you do it yourself." Shen Chen sliced ​​the radish and poured it into the boiling pot, then turned around and chopped some green onion, "I'm abroad alone, so I have to learn everything."

The pork ribs that were put in earlier had already begun to emit the smell of meat, and the night outside the window was getting darker, with thunder and lightning, and the warm aroma in the room seemed particularly alluring.

"Besides, foreign things are too expensive to afford."

——For four years in college, Shen Changmin did not treat him harshly with the money he should have given him, but it is naturally impossible to have too much money. Even if he has experience in his previous life, foreign countries are different from domestic ones. It was a sad time at the beginning, and all living expenses were covered. Yes, it is really difficult to save food and clothing.

— Fortunately, everything is over now.

Just this sentence made Tao Xun's nose sore. At that time, he thought that Shen Chen went abroad to enjoy himself, and he was in the country with a lot of money and money, but he never thought about whether Shen Chen had a happy life in the past four years.

They, the second generation who grew up together, never worried about money, so he couldn't imagine what kind of hardships Shen Chen had suffered abroad, so that such an arrogant person also learned to be humble , everything Shen Chen did today was made by himself bit by bit, and because of himself——

Tao Xun gritted his teeth: "Brother Chen, it's my fault to intimidate people. It's because I didn't know how to do things properly, and the company and you are in the wrong."

"I don't blame you for this." Shen Chen shook his head, "I would be angry if this happened to me."

Liu Baotong has a son and a daughter. His son has just entered high school this year, and his daughter is in college. He himself broke his waist on a construction site last winter and can no longer do heavy work. The living expenses of his son and daughter include his own medical expenses, and the elderly Alimony, everything costs money.

So when his old house was going to be demolished, he agreed at once, but unexpectedly, the old lady became furious when she found out, and insisted on refusing to demolish it. She fought with the construction team for more than a month. Don't let go.

No matter how ruthless the human construction team is, they really dare not do anything to an elderly lady. If something happens, it will be their lives.

The one who was beaten by Tao Xun was the child left by the eldest son of the old lady who had passed away in a car accident. He had just graduated from university this year, and when he came back from school after packing up his things, he ran into this kind of thing. No mercy.

Liu Baotong had already taken part of the demolition funds to pay for his daughter's college tuition, and even signed the compensation and resettlement agreement.

— Mrs. Liu hid the real estate certificate.

The progress of the project is stuck there, but so many people have to eat, and the bills are spent every day, who doesn't feel distressed?

Stewed pork ribs with radish was freshly out of the pot, Shen Chen ordered Tao Xun to take a porcelain bowl on the cabinet to serve it, and fried a tomato and egg, plus a plate of vegetables.

In the wet and cold autumn, a bowl of steaming radish stewed bone soup will warm up the whole stomach. Shen Chen is competitive in his bones, and he must do his best even in cooking. Tao Xun is so hungry that he can't wait to eat the whole bowl Two bites.

Shen Chen didn't eat two mouthfuls, and went into the bathroom after drinking half a bowl of soup. The shower was on, and the water was drizzling.

Tao Xun sat in the living room, feeling a little hot on his face.

Just like a dream, he really lived in Shen Chen's house. Just now, Shen Chen was cooking himself, and now Shen Chen is taking a shower in the bathroom.

As a good young man with correct three views and everything is normal, his sweetheart is taking a shower through a door, Tao Xun unconsciously grabbed the sofa, thinking that he should find something to do, otherwise, if his thoughts go wrong, he couldn't hold back Do something insane and sleep on the streets tonight.

When Shen Chen came out wearing a towel after taking a shower, Tao Xun just broke the fourth dish.

Tao Xun's face was burning hot, and when he thought of Shen Chen taking a shower just across the wall, he couldn't concentrate on washing the dishes, and occasionally the bowl in his hand shattered into slag.

——No way, beauty is present.

Don't look at Tao Xun who has been pretending to be washing dishes here, but his ears are always on his ears. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he quickly pretended to look over, and then the fourth dish in his hand was heroic.

Shen Chen only wore a bath towel around his waist, revealing his muscular upper body, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, neatly arranged abdominal muscles, long and stretched legs, his hair was still dripping water, and the water dripped across his deep eyebrows and high bridge of nose A sound fell on the beautifully shaped collarbone.

Tao Xun: "..."

Shen Chen looked at the broken dishes on the floor, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Don't wash it, let me clean it up."

——Letting this master wash the dishes, he felt that he was playing to his death.

Tao Xun trembled, feeling a rush of heat rushing through his limbs and bones, the reaction was too strong, he really didn't dare to look at Shen Chen anymore, he threw the broken dishes into the trash can, turned around and rushed into the bathroom.

I originally thought that Shen Chen didn't like sports, and his body should be thin, with thin skin and tender flesh as if he hadn't been exposed to the sun, but he never thought that Shen Chen turned out to be the type who looks thin when dressed and undressed, with well-proportioned bones and muscles. The lines are smooth, and although it looks thin, it is not thin, and every muscle in the body is just right.

Tao Xun wiped his nose, and I have to say that Shen Chen's figure is amazing. He has been fooling around for four years, and he has seen a lot of all kinds of best, but there is really no one that compares to Shen Chen. Not talking about face and figure, just talking about temperament. Shen Chen's tall, cold and arrogant temperament is something that those so-called celebrities and supermodels can't catch up with.

Pooh!Pooh!Pooh!Where do you want to go?Can those things compare with Shen Chen?

Tao Xun shook his head, and when he started to turn on the hot water, he realized that he came in without clothes, and he was immediately embarrassed. Did he want to go out to get clothes?

It was Shen Chen outside, who might have kicked him down from the ninth floor, hesitated for a while and coughed: "Brother Chen, I don't have any clothes, can you pass them for me?"

Shen Chen was sitting on the sofa, and was about to get his clothes when Tao Xun's cell phone rang suddenly. He looked down indifferently, thinking it was Mrs. Tao or Tao Zhixing calling to ask where they were. Turning his head, he saw an extremely flamboyant head portrait.

Lin Chao: "Tao Xun, where are you? It's so crazy outside, do you want me to clean up those things that don't know how to appreciate them?"

"I have a cousin who came from another place. He has a reliable brother by his side. He won't leave anything in the past. Do you want me to contact you? I'm bored to death."

Shen Chen's hand holding the clothes paused, and his little finger touched the edge of the cold phone, inside which Tao Xun had already begun to urge: "Brother Chen?"

He lowered his head and took the clothes and sent them over.

Shen Chen had another nightmare. In the dream, there were strange lights, as if endless sea water was pressing from all directions, and he couldn't breathe under the pressure. Suddenly he opened his eyes and woke up. What he saw was a pale wall, and the autumn rain outside was pattering.

Tao Xun was still fiddling with the phone when he opened the door, probably because he was afraid that turning on the light would affect his sleep. The living room was pitch black, only the faint blue light of the phone hit his face quietly.

"Brother Chen?" Tao Xun sat up straight unconsciously, changed from a crooked posture on the sofa to a half-sitting position, looking a little surprised at Shen Chen who suddenly pushed the door out.

"Did I disturb you by calling?" Tao Xun was a little uneasy.

"No," Shen Chen shook his head, "I'm on a lie-down job, and the jet lag isn't reversed."

"Can't sleep?" Tao Xun's eyes lit up, and he immediately vacated a seat, giving up half of the sofa: "Then how about I chat with you for a while? Or play a game? I remember you used to like it." There's an escape room coming."

——He has played all the levels in the past four years.

"I've stopped playing for a long time," Shen Chen continued to shake his head, "There are too many things going on abroad, and I don't have time."

Tao Xun still wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that he couldn't say anything, what should he say?The four-year gap is still there after all.

Tao Xun was stunned for a moment, Shen Chen had already walked in front of him, his warm palm fell on his head, his voice was low and hoarse: "Tao Xun, do you remember what you promised me?"
