Hand in hand [Rebirth]

"morning!"

When Chen Ran was about to lock the door and go to school, a slightly familiar voice rang in his ears. He turned his head and saw that the drug addict was actually opening the door of the neighbor's house next door!

Chen Ran immediately scolded with a cold face: "What are you doing?"

Li Mu frowned in dissatisfaction: "It's just to say hello to you, do you need to react so much?"

"What are you opening someone's door for?" Chen Ran still had a cold face.

Li Mu shook the key on his finger, and said angrily: "I have already rented this place, and I live here now."

A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Ran's eyes. He didn't hear the grandmother next door said that he was going to move, but anyway, he misunderstood her, and sincerely apologized: "Sorry, I misunderstood you."

Li Mu was not angry either. This family has been neighbors with Chen Ran for so many years. Chen Ran was right to be worried, so he smiled and said, "We will be neighbors from now on, please take care of us!"

Chen Ran nodded lightly, he thought that they would not have any intersection, but he didn't expect this person to become his neighbor.It's unpredictable.

"You want to go to school? Be careful on the road!" Li Mu smiled with crooked brows and charming peach blossom eyes, and he was about to enter the door with his heavy bags.

That is green vegetables?Is that shrimp and crab?This person went out to buy groceries early in the morning?Chen Ran stared at Li Mu's face in disbelief, trying to see the temperament of a housewife from his face.But Li Mu smiled coquettishly, no matter how he looked, he looked like a playboy.

Chen Ran rubbed his forehead, wanting to deceive himself and say that he must have read too late last night, and his eyes were blurred.But one of the bags in Li Mu's hand broke suddenly, and several chestnuts rolled out, and one of them rolled to his feet.

"Oops!" Li Mu put down the vegetables in his hand and picked up the scattered chestnuts.

Chen Ran helped pick up the chestnuts, and he clearly saw that the bag did contain vegetables, seafood and meat.

This person really went shopping early in the morning!Chen Ran felt that his worldview was a bit subverted.

Maybe he is just helping to carry it, and a nanny will come to cook later?

Going to school with mystifying doubts, Chen Ran asked Zhou Zhen: "Your friend moved in next door to my house, did you know that?"

"You mean Li Mu?" Zhou Zhen continued to answer the question without raising his head, "I know, he has no place to live for the time being, and it happened that the grandmother next door to your house was going back to take care of her grandson, so he rented it out." He wanted Li Mu that day. Mu was looking for a house near Chen Ran's house, so that he could go to Chen Ran's house to study and watch Li Mu at the same time, and let Li Mu contribute his skills. Unexpectedly, by coincidence, someone next door to Chen Ran was eager to move.After the two parties talked, they hit it off and signed a one-year contract immediately.

Chen Ran understood, but still had doubts in his heart. "Is that friend of yours so hard that he wants to cook by himself?" Don't these rich young masters all have nannies to take care of them, so they don't have to worry about everything from food to clothing?I have never heard of a young master from a rich family who can cook by himself.

"Cooking?" Zhou Zhen still didn't look up, "What's wrong?"

"When I went out in the morning, I just met him back from shopping."

"Oh, that, it's just his personal hobby." Seeing Chen Ran's strange expression, Zhou Zhen shrugged his shoulders, expressing that he was not surprised.

Many people don't know that Li Mu still has such an unimaginable hobby, and they don't believe that Li Mu, who has always been flamboyant, is good at housework. It's hard for him to believe the food.

Chen Ran: "..."

Rich people are really different, even their hobbies are different.

After sighing, Chen Ran thought of the burnt vegetables and black eggs he fried that day, and Li Mu's indescribable expression holding the plate of broken eggs, and felt a little ashamed inexplicably.

Chen Ran thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect that when he came home from school at noon and was about to wash rice for cooking, there was a knock on the door.

Who is looking for him?Chen Ran put down the rice cooker and turned to open the door.

"Hey, haven't you cooked yet?" Li Mu stood at the door of his house with a bright smile on his face, "Then don't do it, come and have dinner together! I cooked a lot of dishes to celebrate my arrival here. I will wait a week Zhen also came over."

Chen Ran really wanted to say, I really don't know you well, so you don't have to be so polite, but thinking that in the future, he would bow his head and not look up, and the other party was Zhou Zhen's friend, so he agreed after a few seconds of hesitation.

When I went to the next door, I saw that Emma was even more clean and tidy than his house.Looking again, the table is full of vegetables, isn't it just the various vegetables and meat he saw in the bag this morning?Roasted chicken with chestnuts, salt and pepper shrimp, steamed crabs, garlic cabbage... are all relatively common dishes, but they are full of color, flavor and taste, which makes your index finger very exciting.

At this moment, Chen Ran deeply realized what it means to not be fooled by appearances.

After a while, Zhou Zhen also came, bringing wine.

There was no one else but the three of them. There were a little less people, but Li Mu was very happy and kept persuading him to drink, and he himself was also drinking heavily.The wine that Zhou Zhen brought was for a long time, but if he drank too much good wine, he would become intoxicated.

Li Mu, who was drunk, blushed, and stared at Chen Ran with a pair of wet peach eyes with a confused smirk: "I will trouble you in the future, but don't worry, I won't trouble you too much, um I Will help you clean the house, do laundry and cook..."

What does it mean?Chen Ran looked at Zhou Zhen. Zhou Zhen was choked and coughed a few times.

"Well, I was going to tell you something." Zhou Zhen corrected his expression and said, "I think I will come here to make up lessons in the future. You don't have to travel so far, I can also come and see Li Mu. Another thing I want to Please."

"Li Mu is currently recovering from drugs, but I can't watch him all the time, so can I trouble you to watch him for me? You see, you are neighbors, so it's easy to take care of him..."

Chen Ran laughed "hehe" twice, and he said that it happened to be so coincidental that he moved to the next door to his house, so he planned to order him around.

"Zhou Zhen, he should go to a drug rehabilitation center for his detoxification. There are strict management and can help people detoxify more scientifically..." Chen Ran is not willing to take care of a drug addict, and he does not agree with Li Mu's detoxification.

"Li Mu escaped from the drug rehabilitation center, he can't go back there." Zhou Zhen's expression turned cold, and he roughly explained why Li Mu escaped from the drug rehabilitation center.

Chen Ran was dumbfounded when he heard that, Li Mu's fate was like a novel.

"I don't need you to do anything, I just want you to help stop him when he can't bear it and wants to harm himself." Zhou Zhen's eyes were slightly pleading.

self harm?Chen Ran was taken aback, looked at Li Mu who was still smirking at him, and thought of the blood on his clothes that day, he hesitated.

Seeing that his expression was a little loose, Zhou Zhen continued: "Your mother is not at home for a while, and it is too troublesome for you to cook and eat by yourself. Why don't you partner with Li Mu? You have also tasted it. Li Mu's cooking is really good, right? Are you here?" Wouldn't it be nice to take care of him when he was addicted, and he take care of your daily diet?"

Glancing at the pile of bones and crab shells in front of him, Chen Ran would agree in silence.He despises Li Mu's willingness to degenerate, but if Li Mu can really get rid of drug addiction with his own perseverance, he also respects him as a man.And this man is very poor.His mother died early, his father didn't love him, and his stepmother persecuted... Forget it, even if it was doing good deeds, Zhou Zhen took over, and there was not much more than Li Mu.

"Thank you!" Zhou Zhen raised his glass to toast Chen Ran, "Li Mu is easy to get along with, don't worry."

Chen Ran nodded, just to see that Li Mu is not difficult to get along with, otherwise he would not agree.

Li Mu, whose face was flushed from drinking, saw that the two seemed to have reached an agreement, and also toasted Chen Ran: "Don't worry! I will definitely raise you up white and fat!"

Chen Ran smiled lightly, noncommittal.

That's it for this matter.Zhou Zhen usually comes to Chen Ran's house to make up lessons, and occasionally eats here.Li Mu's cooking skills are so good that he can cook any dish so delicious that he wants to swallow his tongue.

This made Chen Ran, who had never pursued his appetite very much, feel a sense of crisis.Li Mu made his mouth tricky. If Li Mu is gone in the future, where will he go to find food?Thinking of his fried vegetables and dark eggs, Chen Ran rubbed his forehead with a headache.I want to control myself not to be captured by delicious food, but I can't stop eating it!

Li Mu changed from a flirtatious playboy to a home-cooked man without any pressure in his heart.

Compared with going out to be romantic and happy, Li Mu actually prefers to make delicious food for his relatives and friends by himself.Compliments thus give him more satisfaction than drugs and sex.

Because of the lack of love since he was a child, he envied those people with beautiful families and those with loving parents.He has had a dream since he was a child, hoping to find someone he likes and likes himself to form a family in the future, he will cook for her, wash clothes, love her and spoil her, and be an enviable good husband.

With such a dream in mind, Li Mu successfully cultivated a good cooking skill, but the unsatisfactory reality made him forget his dream and indulge in feasting and feasting.Until Zhou Zhen told him that it was time to wake up.

Even Zhou Zhen can change his mind, how can he continue to degenerate?

Those who persecute me, I will pay back tenfold.

Look down on me, I will stand on your head.

Respect me and protect me, I will reward you with delicious food.

Li Mu, who was holding the spatula, smiled harmlessly.
