Mr. Dong Guo

"Are you surprised?"

Meng Xiaoyan's voice on the other side sounded unreal.

Guo Qiyu shook his head, then remembered that he was on the phone, and quickly said, "No, it's just why you forgot your phone? Such an expensive thing..."

Meng Xiaoyan interrupted him, "It's not that I forgot, it's yours, I have another one."

In 2001, mobile phones may not be a particularly rare thing, but for Guo Qiyu, they are still an unnecessary luxury.

"Xiao Bei, this is not very good, I'd better give it back to you."

There was silence for a while, and said "OK".

Immediately afterwards, he said, "You don't want to mail this, it's easy to break, so you can send it to City A."

Guo Qiyu nodded quickly, "It's natural, it's natural..."

"Then, will I not be able to contact you in the future?" Meng Xiaoyan said indifferently, as if he was just stating a fact.

Guo Qiyu was stunned, "No, Xiaobei, you can call my office."

There seemed to be a chuckle on the other side, which made Guo Qiyu at a loss.

After a long time, Meng Xiaoyan said, "Okay, goodbye, Dad."

Guo Qiyu said goodbye, and before he had time to tell him not to call him dad, he heard that the phone had been hung up.

Guo Qiyu fiddled with the small machine box in his hand for a while, pressed a few numbers, and then deleted it. He didn't know how to use a mobile phone, so he had to put it aside again.

In fact, he also knew that he was a little too much.

The office phone is for work, so how could it be said that it is for private use, and it is not easy to chat during working hours, yet he asked his Xiao Bei to call the office phone.

As smart as Guo Xiaobei, how could he not know this little thing in his heart?

Guo Qiyu sighed, picked up the small mobile phone, and looked at it carefully.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, Guo Qiyu was nestled on the sofa, holding a big bowl of dumplings, and eating slowly while watching the Spring Festival Gala alone.

The host of the Spring Festival Gala began to count down, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers came from outside the window. Guo Qiyu was about to watch the fireworks under a blanket, when the phone rang again.

"Hello?" While answering the phone, he walked towards the balcony. He knew it must be Guo Xiaobei who came to congratulate him, "Xiaobei, happy new year!"

"Dad, happy new year."

"Xiaobei, I told you not to call me daddy!"

"Ah."

For a while, Guo Qiyu thought that the child was angry about the mobile phone at noon, so he had to change the subject.

"Xiaobei, did you hear the sound of firecrackers?" The sound of fireworks and firecrackers reached the top, and Guo Qiyu had to speak at the top of his voice.

"I heard."

"Why didn't I hear your call?" Guo Qiyu was a little puzzled, he vaguely felt that the other end of the phone was very quiet.

"Fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in this area of ​​City A, so it's very quiet." Meng Xiaoyan explained patiently.

"Huh? I heard from your father last time that it will be implemented during the Chinese New Year?"

Meng Xiaoyan seemed to be walking in the corridor. When Fireworks suddenly fell silent, Guo Qiyu heard slow and lonely footsteps echoing step by step in the corridor.

"How is Chinese New Year?" Guo Qiyu asked, clutching his phone tightly.

Meng Xiaoyan was silent for a long time before he said, "No, Dad, I'm dead. Happy New Year."

Guo Qiyu hurriedly replied, "Happy New Year, Xiao Bei!"

There was a beeping sound over there, Guo Qiyu put down the phone and fiddled with it with his head down.

The second wave of fireworks started outside again, and the loud sound made Guo Qiyu a little flustered, but he never called back, nor was he in the mood to watch the Spring Festival Gala again.

Back in bed, I felt a little lonely on New Year's Eve this year. The lively sound of fireworks outside the window seemed to become the silent background sound in the house, which continued continuously.

Meng Xiaoyan was lying on the bed, going to Meng's house to watch the new year.

But the bodies of old people and children need sleep, and the old man only stays there until 12 o'clock. As soon as he goes upstairs to sleep, Mrs. Meng hurriedly asks Meng Xiaoyan to go to sleep.

This is the old house of the Meng family.

It was the first time for Meng Xiaoyan to come here, and this was his first New Year's when he returned to Meng's house, so he was naturally the protagonist.

It was the first time to receive so many gazes, even Meng Xiaoyan was very uncomfortable.

When he went upstairs and returned to his room, Meng Xiaoyan eagerly wanted to hear Guo Qiyu's voice, whether it was because he had heard too many greetings, true or false, or because the old house was too quiet.

When he called, Guo Qiyu sounded like he was having a good time alone, as if he was fine without him.

Meng Xiaoyan pursed his lips, his words suddenly disappeared completely, Guo Qiyu was sensitive to his unhappiness.

But he didn't speak, and after saying something casually, he hung up the phone.

Lying on the bed, looking at the screen of his mobile phone, he knew that Guo Qiyu would not call, but he also knew that Guo Qiyu would not be as heartless as before.

Meng Xiaoyan put the phone aside, closed his eyes, and suddenly laughed.

The next day, Guo Qiyu walked into the shopping mall with his briefcase in his arms, and took a booklet at a counter, which drew a lot of stares.

After returning home, Guo Qiyu took out a stack of pamphlets in his arms and carefully read them page by page.

Looking at the mobile phone on the table, and then at the mobile phone in the booklet, Guo Qiyu gritted his teeth and flipped through the pages.

A week later, Meng Xiaoyan was in class, preparing for the basic courses that he was about to enter school at the beginning of the school year.

The mobile phone in his bag suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

But the place of attribution is W City.

Meng Xiaoyan's heart trembled, he asked the tutor for a pause, then turned and walked out of the room.

"dad?"

Guo Qiyu gave a soft "hmm" over there.

Meng Xiaoyan smiled and said, "When did you buy it?"

"Just now," Guo Qiyu pinched the new phone, "I bought it just now."

"Then dad, when are you coming to return my phone?" Meng Xiaoyan's tone became more relaxed.

Guo Qiyu thought for a while, "Maybe I don't have time recently..."

"It's okay, I haven't started school yet, I can go and find you." Meng Xiaoyan thought about it, and thought it was not bad.

Guo Qiyu didn't say yes or no.

Meng Xiaoyan had guessed from his silence that Guo Qiyu didn't want to come to City A, and would rather go back by himself.

He pursed his lips, then suddenly changed his mind, "Oh, no."

"what happened?"

Meng Xiaoyan said: "The courses are too full these days. I am about to start school. There are a lot of things to do. I may not be able to come here."

Guo Qiyu lowered his eyes, looked at the small stone under his feet, and kicked it, "Then I'll come here."

Immediately, he added: "Xiaobei, I'm here to see you, not to return the phone on a special trip."

Hearing Guo Qiyu's unnecessary explanation, Meng Xiaoyan's heart warmed, and he softened his tone, "I know, call me when you come over, and I'll pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, Guo Qiyu looked at the brand new mobile phone in his hand, feeling a little dazed, and then began to think about when to go to City A.

On the day Guo Qiyu came, Meng Xiaoyan woke up early and cleaned himself up very energetically.

The Meng couple also knew that Guo Qiyu was coming, and Mrs. Meng endured the unhappiness and asked Meng Xiaoyan to have fun with Guo Qiyu.

After all, it was the Meng family who failed him last time.

Mr. Meng welcomed Guo Qiyu very much. It seemed that Meng Xiaoyan's doubts about Guo Qiyu had been dispelled during the time he lived at home.

"You went to pick up Mr. Guo, and you can let Lao Zhang take you around," Mr. Meng said. "Come back for dinner tonight. We haven't thanked him properly yet."

Meng Xiaoyan nodded, noncommittal.

Guo Qiyu came by train. The train departed in the middle of the night and arrived in City A in the morning.

When Meng Xiaoyan saw him, he was holding an egg, looking blankly at the endless stream of people. There were several plastic bags at his feet. Needless to say, Meng Xiaoyan knew it was fruit.

There are fruits everywhere, but Guo Qiyu always likes to carry them around. It seems that these fruits are worth giving away only when they are carried far away.

I used to visit Professor Li’s family as well. I bought fruit from a long distance, and then carried it all the way.

Probably because I feel that the gift is too small in my heart, and I want to add a little more hard work and manpower to increase its value.

Before Meng Xiaoyan walked over, Guo Qiyu had already seen him and waved to him from afar.

Hold the egg in one hand and lift the bag in the other.

Panting and walking in front of him, with bright eyes, "Xiaobei, eat an egg."

Meng Xiaoyan took the egg, but didn't eat it. Lao Zhang behind him hurried over to take the pocket from Guo Qiyu's hand.

Guo Qiyu couldn't refuse, but he was very embarrassed. In the end, Lao Zhang proposed three, and Guo Qiyu proposed two.

Back in the car, seeing Meng Xiaoyan still holding the egg, Guo Qiyu couldn't help muttering, "Xiaobei, why don't you eat it?"

"I covered you for a long time, you must have not eaten eggs this morning."

Of course, the Meng family doted on him to the sky, and he never liked to eat eggs. There were basically no "eggs" on the table of the Meng family, and all kinds of eggs did not appear.

Guo Qiyu brought the egg over and knocked on the car window. The plastic bag was placed on his lap, and he asked the child to hold it down for him. He began to peel the egg slowly.

Meng Xiaoyan watched Guo Qiyu's fingers move slowly. Slowly, the white and tender egg was still steaming, and it was carefully pinched by his five fingers.

Meng Xiaoyan took his hand and took a bite.

Guo Qiyu still whispered, "It's been so long since I came to City A, do you still remember what I said?"

"I remember." Meng Xiaoyan answered vaguely.

"Remember, just don't do it," Guo Qiyu seemed a little anxious, "Eggs are good for your health. Now is the time for you to grow your body, so you need a balanced nutrition!"

Meng Xiaoyan swallowed the egg in a few mouthfuls, and Guo Qiyu hastily handed him water.

He always carried water with him, and the thermos was soaked with Luo Han Guo. Meng Xiaoyan drank a few sips, and then he didn't want to drink anymore.

"There is still a little more, you drank it all, what are you doing here with the rest?" Guo Qiyu looked at it and handed him the thermos again.

Meng Xiaoyan pouted, "Aren't you going to drink?"

"I drank it."

Guo Qiyu stared at him, watched Meng Xiaoyan drink up the water, and asked him if he drank more water and ate more vegetables...

The two were talking in low voices, Guo Qiyu babbled like before, Meng Xiaoyan also listened quietly, but wrapped his arms around Guo Qiyu's waist, resting his head on Guo Qiyu's lap, lying half-lying, answering a sentence or two from time to time. If you are interested, I will ask a few more questions.

Lao Zhang saw the way the two of them got along with each other, but his heart was churning like big waves.

He is the old driver of the Meng family.

Usually, Mrs. Meng and this Young Master Meng are picked up by him when they go out.

He had seen the Meng family's way of getting along with this young master Meng, and it was nothing more than a hot head. At this moment, young master Meng who was talking in a warm voice behind the car was something he had never seen before.

He always thought that the young master of the Meng family who was finally found was suffering from severe autism.

"Young master, here we are."

The car was parked outside a hotel, Meng Xiaoyan looked at it, got out of the car, and told Lao Zhang to go back first.

"Tell Mrs. Ma'am that I will go back tonight by myself."

"Yes."

Just as he was about to leave, Guo Qiyu pulled Meng Xiaoyan back, "Where's the fruit?"

Meng Xiaoyan painstakingly took five pockets out of the trunk, "Keep them for us to eat."

He didn't want the fruit that Guo Qiyu brought all the way into other people's stomachs!
