I quietly watch you play

"Xiao Liuer, 66, 6666," You Yuan shook his head and tail with a cat teasing stick, and the smooth-skinned Sanhua in front of him raised his right paw perfunctorily, with a calm face, occasionally raking his paw cooperatively, completely out of a gentleman The demeanor counter-coaxes the rhythm of naive human girls.

"It was so fierce when it first came. It was skinny and scratched whoever it was, and even scratched you into the hospital overnight, right? Uncle, how did you raise it so well? The middle school street bully boy Straight to the Buddhist Tsundere Prince! It's only been less than a year—"

Jiang Xiaoqi looked away from the laptop screen and stretched his long arms: "Come here."

Xiao Liu walked catwalks, with his long fluffy tail raised high, approached Jiang Xiaoqi gracefully, lightly leaped onto his outstretched palm, climbed up his knees along his arms, and lay down on his thighs, spread out into one piece Hearty cat cake.

One year, Jiang Xiaoqi felt that every day was very long, and felt that a year had passed suddenly, so many things were too late.

Jiang Xiaoqi continued to type on the computer, and when he was thinking, he tickled the cat with his slender fingers, listening to the comfortable purring sound from its throat, and then the monotonous sound of clacking on the keyboard continued, Xiao Liu was in this comforting and Hypnotized by the noise, he soon curled up into a ball and fell asleep in Jiang Xiaoqi's arms.

You Yuan shook the cat teasing stick tied in the shape of a mouse boredly: "What a night owl! It doesn't sleep at night, I don't sleep during the day, and you don't sleep during the day and night! Uncle, it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, Are you going home this year? You were not here last year, and the grandfather asked you to come."

"I...see if I have time," Jiang Xiaoqi closed his laptop, pinching the space between his eyebrows.

If he returns to China, Jiang Zhen will probably get ill again inexplicably.Just go back and take a look, just take a look and leave like last time, after all, the credit he issued has expired, one year.

Jiang Xiaoqi hugged the sleeping cat in his arms, and went to the basement with his laptop in his free hand.

You Yuan really couldn't understand that the Jiang family rented this villa for the two of them to live in while they were studying. There were so many rooms, the little uncle insisted on choosing the one in the basement.

No, he has occupied the entire basement, and usually even the servants are not allowed to enter casually. If he touches a piece of paper, he will be blacked out for three days. Only Xiao Liu can do anything wrong. The sofa still defecates everywhere, and the consequences of being caught are only a patient verbal education.

It's the rhythm of raising a little lover!

Jiang Xiaoqi hugged the cat and leaned on the recliner next to the French window in the patio. A small piece of greenery was made outside the window, and a circle of snow-white quartz pebbles was piled up around the lush lawn to cover the drain.

At the oblique lower part of the elliptical light well, a maple is planted. The tree is still young, and its branches are thin and drooping. The leaves have not changed color in the current season.

He turned on his cell phone and dialed Lin Mu, who waited for a while before answering, as if it took a little longer for the signal to cross the Pacific Ocean.

"Doctor Lin, I want to go back."

There was still a hard and long silence.

"Thirty hours, return on the day of landing." Jiang Xiaoqi said in a negotiating tone that has become increasingly rare recently, "I only believe in you."

Lin Mu sighed: "No. Unless..."

Jiang Xiaoqi tightened his fingertips holding the phone, any price can be considered.

"...Unless you don't care about your mother's life."

Any price, except this, is the bottom line of being a child, and he is no exception.

Lin Mu's voice was lowered to show the earnestness of the elders: "I am a doctor, and no one knows better than me. A wound infection, a side effect of a drug, an untimely rescue, any small accident, may die without leaving any traces, you Do you understand?"

"You trust me, but I don't trust myself. You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be a thief for a thousand days. If they don't want you to do something, you'd better not touch it."

"The future is long, Rome was not built in a day! (Rome was not built in a day), wait until the day your Rome is built, and then think about whatever you want."

"Now, what else can you do but risk watching?"

Jiang Xiaoqi's hand holding the phone hangs down, I can still raise a cat.He put his index finger to Xiao Liu's chin in distaste and scratched it, the cat flipped its claws and slapped him away, and continued to sleep in a belly-up position.

"You, like him, like to sleep in the evening and put your pillow on my leg."

"Do you trust me so much? Are you willing to show me your belly? What if I lied to you—"

"Okay, can you wait for me for another year?"

&&&

"Do you have a call?" Zuo Luo asked on the other end of the phone, "That's it, you go ahead."

Zhou Wei glanced at the waiting call, Chen Zhanzhan.

"Not busy, harassing phone calls. I haven't finished talking yet. It's just a logo. I don't need so much money. I just drew it for half an afternoon."

Zuo Luo's voice was serious: "It's agreed to entrust you with the design. I only need the result and don't ask about the process. It's the same money if you finish the drawing in one minute. I know more about the importance of the logo than you..."

Zhou Wei thought of the fear that ZOLO's clothing would be dominated by Zoro's copyright owner and St. Paul, and laughed silently with his head down.

This time it was Zuo Luo who asked him to design the logo of a children's clothing brand. He accepted it without negotiating the price. Zhou Wei took it as a friendly help and didn't think about asking for money. As soon as the design drawing came out, Zuo Luo called him 18. There are zeros and wholes.

"If you are like this, I will feel that you are helping me on purpose." Zhou Wei was so frank that the steps shattered.

Zuo Luo is still in the same business tone: "The marketing department negotiated the price. Our brand value is there, and no one can design it cheaply. If I help you, I will make up the whole. There are really so many. If you think it is too little, I will Two thousand more batches, no more."

Having said that, it would be hypocritical to push back, Zhou Wei hung up the phone and accepted the money obediently.

There must be favors, Zuo family's ancestral stinginess is true, Zhou Wei is very happy, the most important point!It's because he draws well.

I have developed a habit, whether I am in a good mood or not, I like to touch a candy to eat. Zhou Wei grabs the small bottle on the table, shakes it, there are more than a dozen left, unscrews it and sniffs it close to his nose. very sour.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat it, the rest are all sour lemons, he doesn't like to eat, no, love, eat!

It turned out that there were so many bottles of candy, he ate one a day, and gradually became less and less, and he became more and more busy. Sometimes he would forget to eat when he had no time to be happy or worried.

Recently, it is easy to forget to eat sugar. From eating one in three days to one in five days, I will finish eating soon.

Another summer is about to pass...

The series of picture books for Children's Book Publishing House is about to be finalized, and he has to change a few pages of illustrations. From time to time, he comes up with better ideas, thinking that things for children should be as perfect as possible.

There is also an annoyance with the original drawing of a certain small game company. He has revised and revised many times. Party A’s request is like March Sky.

When the phone rang again, it was still Chen Zhanzhan.

Zhou Wei pondered for a while and picked it up, and the voice on the other side was replaced by Xiao Xiang: "...give it to me, let me explain." Chen Zhanzhan complained vaguely.

"Xiao Xiang," Zhou Wei flicked Xiao Qi's cat's head, and went to the kitchen to pour cat food for it, "Is there something wrong?"

"Brother, my dad fell off the ladder while working and is now in the hospital."

Zhou Wei shook his hand, there was too much cat food. "Which hospital, I'll go there now."

"Don't worry, I sprained my ankle, and the doctor said it was slightly fractured, and it will take a few days to fix it." Chen Zhanxiang paused, "That's right, it was found that there is some problem with the lungs. Let's do a pathology and stay in the hospital for observation first."

Zhou Wei added water to the cat, and felt dizzy too much: "Send me the address, we'll talk about it when we meet."

He was in the Second Hospital of Dan University. When Zhou Wei arrived, the cast had already been put on, and he had just been transferred to the ward.There is a strong lineup in the room, there are quite a few members of the Chen family, and there is an extra week.

"Xiao Jin came to make up for my birthday," Chen's mother took Zhou Hui's hand and explained, as if she was afraid that Zhou Wei would be unhappy. "A few days ago, he went abroad and missed it. Thinking about today..."

Zhou Wei only glanced at it normally, skipping the episode, but did not miss the extra silver bracelet on Mother Chen's wrist.Their family has a party tonight, and there is a lot of them, and he may be the extra person.

"Listen to the doctor and go to the hospital first. It was checked last time that there is no problem, so you shouldn't worry."

Before that, Zhou Wei helped contact the hospital to give Father Chen a comprehensive physical examination, and the fee was also paid to them. The examination results showed no major problems.

Mother Chen's face was slightly embarrassed, and Chen Zhanxiang also turned his head to show his resentment.Chen Zhanzhan picked up a banana and bit it down: "Of course it's okay if you didn't check——"

weekend:"???"

"No," Mother Chen said with an ugly smile, "Your dad and I feel in good health, and we don't feel uncomfortable at all. We took it for a medical examination, and it's a little... It just so happened that your uncle built a house at home and was in a hurry to use it. Qian...Xiaowei, I didn't discuss this with you, your father will not have any serious problems, don't worry..."

Zhou Wei understood, they didn't go for the medical examination, the money was embezzled and the favor was taken away.

"It's okay, it's for you, you have the final say." "Give me the medical insurance card, and I'll pay the hospital deposit."

Chen's mother was much more relaxed this time, and she was very happy in her heart: "Xiao Jin has already handed over—" What a caring and good son!

"Can you guys discuss something serious?" Chen Zhanzhan threw away the banana peel and clapped his hands, "Who will take care of our dad at night, let's make it clear first, it's inconvenient for me to be a girl, I have to rely on your son for this."

Mother Chen said, "I don't need you, I'll accompany you."

Chen Zhanzhan dragged his voice: "Mom, just your waist disc? Let me tell you, Dad, this is not a day or two, if—"

"Stop cursing your father!" Father Chen interrupted her, coughing repeatedly, "Go back to sleep, I won't move at night."

Chen Zhanxiang poured water for Chen's father: "I'll stay tonight, you all go back early to rest."

"Help a nurse," Zhou Wei said.

Mother Chen waved her hand immediately: "No, no, baby and I will spend the night together. We don't need to waste the money. It costs two hundred a night! Just change to another place to sleep..."

Chen Zhanzhan: "You don't need to come out! Brother, right? You don't know how to enjoy!" She looked at Zhou Wei with a half-smile, and then at Zhou Hui.

"It would be great if your father could sell it for money!" Chen's father was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Wei's proposal to hire a nurse. This biological son didn't want to take care of him, and he didn't have any affection, it was obvious.

"Young masters and ladies are used to being treated like money. If money is not money, if father is not father, you will be exhausted even if you urinate in your mouth! You are right, you think right, money is more useful than me, and I won't cause trouble for you... Your father is useless when he is old, and there is nothing left to drag..."

"With a nurse, everyone can have a good rest at night." Family is more important than money, so it is Zhou Wei's logic to spend money on services.

Mother Chen gave Zhou Wei a silent look.

Zhou Hui put his hands in his pockets in a leisurely manner, and looked around the ward: "Why don't you find a single room, there may be more than one family member staying here at night... The conditions are indeed..."

He looked at Zhou Wei, raised his eyelids negligently: "If you can't do it, I'll find a way."

Brush what sense of presence?Zhou Wei didn't bother to talk to him at first, but he didn't expect to be named and provoked.

He looked back: "Are you using the Zhou family to find a way? It really works." The accent fell to the end of the sentence, and the whole sentence was returned to him.

Zhou Hui's face turned sullen, and he suppressed his embarrassment: "It's your parents, and it's also mine. If you don't care, of course I have to care."

He is determined to take Zhou Wei's army and make him feel humiliated in front of his close relatives, because this person who makes Zhou's family miss him so much and occupies his mother's love is really very very very annoying!

"Didn't you swipe the Zhou family's card and pay the deposit?" Zhou Wei turned to face him, his outstanding appearance gave off a certain sense of irresistible oppression, "I use the money I earn to take care of them now, and borrow flowers to offer Buddha Incomparable. It's like I said very little in front of them, but none of them were false."

"You!" Zhou Hui seemed to have been stabbed into a weak spot, every nerve was aching with anger, and he couldn't let it go.

Zhou Wei: "I don't want to quarrel, especially with you."

Zhou Hui pinched his knuckles white.

Mother Chen pulled everyone to sit down, trying to fabricate the harmonious atmosphere she imagined: "It was so easy to get together...By the way, your sister originally wanted to call you, but she said she hadn't seen each other for a long time."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Chen Zhanzhan shook his legs: "Brother, the work in the sales office is too annoying. There are everyone, and there are also salty pigs who want to take advantage of looking at the house! The busier it is during the holidays, I don't have time Hang out with friends..."

The job of real estate sales was introduced by Zhou Wei to You Lai. Chen's mother always hinted that she should find a serious job for Chen Zhanzhan. It seems that she doesn't want to do it now.

Zhou Wei's tone was normal: "If you don't want to work, then quit."

"Mom!" Chen Zhanzhan just annoyed, and Zhou Wei looked at Chen's mother who wanted to speak: "Taking care of my younger siblings is a duty, not an obligation. My ability is limited, and I can't meet too high expectations."

Zhou Wei's cell phone rang, and what he said today, the per capita amount of people he complained has exceeded the quota, and he was in a bad mood. It happened to be the game company that was in arrears.

Zhou Wei walked outside the door: "Okay, I see, I don't have time to fight with you, you don't have to pay for this money. But, return all the original drawings to me, and you can't keep backups. If you let me know You use it, wait for bankruptcy!"

He cut off the call, took three deep breaths facing the wall, and turned to leave the hospital.

&&&

One month later, Chen Zhanxiang successfully entered the Danish University School of Medicine to start military training for freshmen. Chen's father, who had half a lung lobe removed, also finished the first phase of chemotherapy and was discharged home to recuperate.

During this period, Zhou didn't visit the hospital, and Chen's father didn't want to see him, so he just took a look at him with interest and left, paying the deposit before leaving.

Before Zhanxiang started school, Zhou Wei gave him 2 yuan: "I will give you living expenses, and you don't have to pay it to your family. Medical students have a lot of homework, so don't go out to work part-time. It's not worth wasting that time."

"Brother, no need, I don't need so much. Mom gave me the money." This child is probably the only family member of the Zhou and Chen families who doesn't feel estranged from him and hides and hides, "Aren't you coming back to class? Didn't you say that you would take a year off from school?"

"Wait a minute," Zhou Wei lit a cigarette, "Spend the money slowly, I don't have a good memory, I'm afraid I'll forget to pay later, you want to tell me if you're short of money."

Zhou Wei looked into his eyes and added: "It's for love." He sometimes regretted that that impulsive blurt would accidentally hurt the baby.

"I know," Zhan Xiang laughed in the sunshine, his childishness has not yet faded, "Then you remember to eat well, if you still live in the original place, I can take you to eat in the cafeteria."

Zhou Wei also smiled, raised his hand and pushed the head that was taller than him, ah, why are all the younger brothers taller than him?decline!

That's right, Zhou Wei no longer lives in the Gaogan Building near Dan University, although the landlord is still Huang Zhizi.

He changed to a two-bedroom apartment in the outer suburbs, with a small bedroom and a large studio, on the grounds that the space was too large and he lacked a sense of security. It would be troublesome to clean and there were too many people nearby. The point is that the rent is cheap.

The new house is adjacent to the Suburban Forest Park. Zhou Wei now only needs to cross a road and walk a few hundred meters to stand in front of the public toilet that Jiang Xiaoqi had originally designed.

The lime-gray bamboo-shaped building is three-dimensional, hidden in the maple forest. At the entrance is a half-faced stone lampstand used to distinguish gender.

See, I walk the talk!Uncle, don't miss your appointment for too long, I'm almost done eating candy, and I won't forgive you after eating——

Chen Zhanxiang, a military trainee, was lying on the sand of the shooting range to practice aiming, and the mobile phone in his pocket buzzed.

A boy next to him turned his head and pouted at him, arched his body slightly to indicate that it was okay for him to answer secretly, and his stalwart body would help him cover it up.

Chen Zhanxiang carefully took out his mobile phone, and the call notification scrolled on it was: Chen Mo is my big brother

"Hello? Bro."

"Xiaoxiang," Zhou Wei half-kneeled on the floor, grasping the wooden beam of the back of the chair with one hand, his voice was softer than the other's, trembling slightly, "Can you come over here? I, I don't feel well——"

Chen Zhanxiang jumped up, and the sand he brought threw the face of the knight next to him: "Brother!"

"Something happened to my family!" Under the astonished eyes of the instructors and classmates, he ran away in a hurry.

Zhou Wei wanted to pull the back of the chair to prop himself up, and he had no strength in his body. He felt like he was sinking into the deep sea, his vision was blurred, and only the sound of gurgling water remained in his ears, as if he was being imprisoned and drowned at the bottom of the water.

Before the last trace of sanity disappeared, he called Chen Zhanxiang for help.

Xiaoxiang didn't have a key, Zhou Wei thought, so he crawled towards the door roughly with the last of his strength, and fumbled until the latch was loosened.

Zhou Wei tried to move to the side as much as possible, so that he would not be crushed by the door that opened suddenly, he really didn't have any extra strength, so let's do it...

There's enough money in the phone to pay the hospital deposit, and if not too much, his fingerprints can unlock it... what else?

Xiaoqi, will Xiaoqi be hungry? It remembers where the food bag is hidden. It is very smart... Mow, the soft fur brushes the back of the hand, and Zhou Wei feels the cool caress of the knuckles.

Is Xiaoqi licking him? I really want to touch its cat head again.

Zhou Wei's consciousness is gradually slackening, I may be hypoglycemic, I haven't eaten sugar for a long time...

He took out the lemon drop that barely covered the bottom of a small bottle from his pocket, and held it tightly in his hand.

The sound of water in my ears permeated everything and sank... Seventh brother, are you really not going to save me this time?
