Out of place

Early in the morning, Xiang Xi was still tossing about in his dream, when his cell phone rang, and he turned over in a dazed state, his eyes opened a little, and he didn't really want to get up to answer the phone.

The phone rang a few more times, Cheng Boyan walked in from the outside, picked up his phone and looked at it, hesitated for a while as if he wanted to answer it for him, but finally handed the phone to him: "You...brother."

"Huh?" Xiang Xi replied in a daze.

"Your brother's phone number," Cheng Boyan said again, then turned and left the bedroom, "It's early in the morning..."

Yes, this early in the morning, Xiang Xi looked at the screen in the double image, and clicked to answer: "Hello?"

"Haven't woken up yet?" Hu Hai's voice came out, and he sounded very energetic, as if he had been up for at least two hours.

"What time is it?" Xiang Xi muttered, "Is there something wrong?"

"You come here this morning, your master has something to go out in the afternoon, and you have to go to Yunshui to replace him in the evening," Hu Hai said, "he will tell you in the morning."

"What?" Xiang Xi woke up immediately after hearing this, and sat up at once.

"He can't go, so he told you to get acquainted with him. He performed very well yesterday," Hu Hai smiled, "It should be fine today, too."

"There are so many people at night!" Xiang Xi was a little worried. Although he bragged to Cheng Boyan yesterday that he was no longer afraid, and it didn't matter if it changed to night, he was still a little uneasy when the master was away and he was the only one.

"You can discuss it with Master when you come." Hu Hai hung up after finishing speaking.

Xiang Xi sat on the bed with his mobile phone in his hands and stared blankly for a while, then slowly got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom.

Cheng Boyan was busy making breakfast in the kitchen, he walked over to put a stick on Cheng Boyan's back, put his arms around his waist and stopped moving.

"What do you want?" Cheng Boyan turned his hands behind his back and touched his waist.

"Tell me to go to the tea room in the morning. Master has something to do in the afternoon and can't go to Yunshui, let me go." Xiang Xi rubbed his face on Cheng Boyan's clothes.

"Isn't that great," Cheng Boyan said, "What time is it at night? I'm not on duty today, so I can rush over to have a look at night."

"It's past eight o'clock." Xiang Xi let go of him, and walked slowly to the toilet.

"Hurry up," Cheng Boyan patted his butt, "We can eat together today before I leave."

"Hey, don't shoot," Xiang Xi touched his buttocks, "You can't move fast."

"Why?" Cheng Boyan looked at him.

"Butt hurts." Xiang Xi turned around.

"It still hurts?" Cheng Boyan frowned, put down the pot in his hand and followed, "I..."

"It's not that it hurts, it's that the butt doesn't feel good." Xiang Xi gave him a sideways glance and closed the toilet door.

"Really or not," Cheng Boyan stood at the door, "Supposedly we both did it..."

"Why don't you try it instead!" Xiang Xi said inside, "Didn't you prepare cucumbers when you have nothing to do, why don't you try it yourself."

"You are very arrogant now." Cheng Boyan laughed.

"I can't help it. If I can't hold it for a long time, I will show my original shape," Xiang Xi said, "Go away, don't guard the door, I won't be able to go to the bathroom anymore?"

"All right, all right, I'll go away," Cheng Boyan sighed, "You are the uncle now."

The breakfast Cheng Boyan made for him today was a sandwich. The bread was very fresh, and he probably went downstairs to buy it early in the morning. It contained red sausage eggs and a lettuce leaf, and spread the sauce on it. It tasted very good.

"This is delicious," Xiang Xi took a sip of milk, "Let's eat this again tomorrow, it's rare to make something delicious once, and you'll get tired of it after a while."

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Cheng Boyan asked.

"What are you doing at night? It's too late." Xiang Xi counted the time, "You won't be back until seven o'clock. I got Yunshui before eight o'clock, so I have to leave at seven o'clock. I don't think you may be able to catch me there in time. "

"Who will send you if I don't?" Cheng Boyan narrowed his eyes.

"My senior brother," Xiang Xi immediately said while pinching his throat, and then gave him a wink, "Hu Hai."

"Okay," Cheng Boyan smiled, "Then Hu Hai will take you there. I'll go there later by myself. I just need to call Peng Yunfan first and make an appointment for tea...I'll look for her business card..."

"Business card?" Xiang Xi sneered, "Don't look for it, I flushed it down the toilet by the way when I was taking a shower last night."

"What? Throwing the toilet?" Cheng Boyan looked at him in surprise.

"So nervous!" Xiang Xi was upset when he saw his reaction, "Throwing your business card to see scared you!"

"You throw it casually," Cheng Boyan stared at him, "I mean did you throw it in the toilet?"

"Yeah! Throw it in the toilet, flush it away with a click of a button, and flush it away without any hesitation." Xiang Xi clicked his tongue.

"Don't throw your things down the toilet next time," Cheng Boyan pointed at him, "If it's blocked, you can use your hands to clean it."

"It's so easy to clog, the toilet is so good now..." Xiang Xi said while eating.

"Do you know I'm using a good toilet?" Cheng Boyan put down the sandwich in his hand, "I haven't paid my mortgage yet, so I use whatever is cheap for renovation. I bought the toilet for 100 yuan."

"The toilet that can warm the buttocks is only 100 yuan. I don't believe it. Your bathroom is full of secrets... Do you want to sneak?" Xiang Xi quacked for a long time, and then smiled, "When I eat, I always say Are these not disgusting?"

"Yo, you are still afraid of nausea." Cheng Boyan said, and went into the bedroom to change clothes.

Xiang Xi looked at his half-eaten sandwich and laughed: "Are you so disgusted that you can't even eat it?"

"You can eat." Cheng Boyan said.

"Then why don't you eat more at noon." Xiang Xi gnawed the food in his hand, and grabbed Cheng Boyan's half to eat, "I'll wait for you to send me tonight."

"Well," Cheng Boyan changed his clothes and came out to go out, "I'll bring you something to eat, you can eat slowly in the car."

"Okay," Xiang Xi nodded, and yelled again when he saw him put on his shoes and was about to go out, "Wait, wait..."

Cheng Boyan stopped to look at him, he wiped his mouth, ran over and kissed Cheng Boyan on the face: "Okay."

Cheng Boyan smiled, closed the door and went out.

When Xiang Xi arrived at the tea room, Old Man Lu was drinking tea on the terrace while Hu Hai was watching the fish.

It was still early, and the morning wind was blowing quite cool, but looking at the green eyes full of being shaken by the wind, it made people feel refreshed.

"These tea trees," Old Man Lu poured him a cup of tea, "do they look ordinary?"

"Well," Xiang Xi looked up the mountain, "it looks like a bush in the isolation zone."

"It doesn't have any fragrance," said the old man Lu, holding a cup and smelling the tea soup. "So after picking the tea leaves, they have to wither, shake, stir-fry, and knead... Different teas have different processes, layer by layer. , finally there is tea, so many fresh leaves, such a little tea."

"Is it human-like?" Xiang Xi said.

"So," Old Man Lu glanced at him and said with a smile, "From the moment you pick up the tea leaves and start making tea, you are experiencing this process and reminiscing about your own life. From ordinary shrubs to fragrant tea soup."

Xiang Xi leaned back in his chair, turned the empty teacup in his hand, and closed his eyes.

"Boiled water, simple and bright, good stuff, tea soup, at the first sip, some people think it is bitter, some people think it is astringent, but in fact the tea soup is complex but has a charm, it is worth tasting," the old man Lu's voice floated gently in the cool morning breeze ,"a."

Xiang Xi didn't speak.

Cheng Boyan may be a simple and transparent life like plain water, a sip that he may not be aware of all the time, but he can't miss it no matter what.

And him?Is he the sip of tea that Cheng Boyan sipped carefully?

Yes, he smiled.

"Good tea, take it, brew it, and pour it into a cup. Needless to say, the color, fragrance and shape are its proof." Old man Lu patted him on the shoulder, "Be confident in yourself."

"Master," Xiang Xi turned his head, "Are you telling me this today because you are afraid that I will be nervous at night?"

Old man Lu laughed: "I don't care if you're nervous at night, and it's not me who is nervous. You have to be confident when you are a person and do things. You are you, I am me, and tea is tea."

Xiang Xi nodded half-understood. Old man Lu is sometimes a fairy, and he can't speak clearly, so he has to figure it out for himself.

"Make me a pot of tea." Old man Lu instructed him.

"Okay." Xiang Xi smiled.

Old man Lu has nothing important to do in the afternoon and evening. In fact, an old friend is coming over in the afternoon. A few old men and old ladies are coming to get together. Two of them are not in good health. They say that they may only get together once in their lifetime. up.

"That's what I said," Xiang Xi smiled while making tea, "How old are you? I might still want to travel when I'm your age."

Yes, with an ID card, you can travel!

Playing for decades is enough.

"It's good to have this kind of heart," Old Man Lu said, "One should live with a mentality."

"Well," Xiang Xi whispered with a smile, "Master, I'm about to have an ID card, and it will be done in a few days."

"This is good news." Old man Lu clapped his hands, raised his voice and said to Hu Hai, "Did you hear that, your junior brother will soon need an ID card! I said that he has been fluctuating in mood these days. "

"Let's celebrate by frying two delicious dishes at noon." Hu Hai smiled.

The two good dishes that Hu Hai mentioned, although they were really just two dishes, they were really good dishes, one squirrel fish and one sweet and sour pork ribs, both were so delicious that Xiang Xi almost burst into tears.

"Brother Hai," he stuffed a mouthful of pork ribs, "You are actually a cook, right, the kind in a big hotel."

"I did it for fun." Hu Hai said.

"Not an official chef?" Xiang Xi was a little disbelieving, "I always thought you were a chef, and you would retire after earning enough money, and make tea every day to retire on the mountain, so what do you rely on to support yourself?"

"Begging for food," Hu Hai smiled, "Sit on the side of the street, set up a box and play the piano."

"I'm serious!" Xiang Xi clicked his tongue, "If you tell me where you beg for food, I'll throw you a piece of eighty cents when I pass by."

"Piano tuner," Old Man Lu said with a smile, "I usually set up a stall on the street to tune people."

"It's amazing," Xiang Xi sighed. In fact, he didn't know the concept of a piano tuner. The piano still needs to be tuned?Return teacher?But as long as he put on the name of teacher, he felt very good, and ate another rib, "It's a teacher...it's a pity that you don't want to be a cook."

"My brother," Hu Hai hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "I'm quite greedy. I just want to... learn how to cook. If one day... I can find it, I can make it for him."

Xiang Xi suddenly lost his voice.

That day when he knew that Hu Hai was not his brother, the indescribable sense of loss came back mixed with a trace of sadness, which made him speechless for a long time.

Parents who wanted to collect blood to find their children at the identification center that day.

Want to go home steamed buns.

Hu Hai and his lost brother.

And... myself.

Everyone is so helpless and still looking forward to it.

"It's good to make it for me now," Xiang Xi said suddenly after being silent for a while, then paused and glanced at Hu Hai again, "Brother."

Hu Hai stared at him for a moment, then smiled: "Is it because you don't like fish? You've been eating pork ribs."

"I also like to eat fish, but ribs are easy to eat." Xiang Xi said with some embarrassment.

The old man Lu smiled beside him and said, "Can my brother Sheng make you a sauced elbow?"

"It's useless for you to call me master," Hu Hai said, "My wife told me that you are not allowed to eat fat meat. It would be nice if I could secretly let you eat pork ribs today, and I will pay you back."

Xiang Xi didn't dare to tell Cheng Boyan about calling Hu Hai's brother, although Cheng Boyan himself made the suggestion to recognize Hu Hai as brother.

But when Cheng Boyan called back and asked him to go downstairs to take him to Yunshui, he didn't dare to say more.

This person is very jealous, if he is hooked, maybe he will not be able to get out of bed tomorrow because of all the tricks all night.

But to be honest, when he called Hu Hai that sound brother, he suddenly felt his whole body go up, as if he had a real brother.

Although the kind of family affection that he had longed for for a long time was not real, it could still make him feel happy in his heart.

His name is Brother Cheng Boyan, but the feeling is different. At that time, he wanted to be close to Cheng Boyan, and he wanted someone to help him... Besides, he doesn't want to be called Brother Cheng Boyan now, because that is his boyfriend.

He was still his father when he owed him, so he can't be called a generation later...

"The bamboo tube rice I bought for you is from the tea restaurant over there. Did you say it was delicious once?" Cheng Boyan handed him the packed bag, which contained a rather large bamboo tube.

"It's so fragrant, I just said something casually, do you still remember?" Xiang Xi was secretly touched, and opened the bamboo tube, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No, I'll go to the tea house later and ask for something to eat, and I'll watch you while eating," Cheng Boyan smiled, "I'm in a good mood today?"

"Not bad," Xiang Xi took a bite with a spoon, "Can you tell if I'm in a good mood?"

"Of course you can. Your mood is always on your face, like mint leaves at home. When you are in a bad mood, the leaves hang down, and when you are in a good mood, they stand up."

"The mint leaves stand after drinking water," Xiang Xi said, "This analogy is wrong."

"Yes, the elephant stood up after drinking water for it," Cheng Boyan said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Xiang Xi didn't speak, took another two mouthfuls to react, and choked: "You rascal are really unpredictable."

"It can't be my fault. Others may not be able to understand it," Cheng Boyan glanced at him, "You understand it. Do you blame me?"

"Nonsense, I was just watered last night!" Xiang Xi stared at him for a while, lowered his head and took a spoon to eat two mouthfuls, "...Forget it, I'll eat."

Today Xiang Xi came by himself, Peng Yunfan didn't greet him personally at the back door, he got out of the car and went into the backyard by himself, while Cheng Bo entered through the front door.

To be honest, he was still a little trembling, not to mention that when he passed by the room and saw that the tea tables inside were almost full of people, and a few waiters were walking back and forth serving tea, he trembled and jumped.

Fortunately, he saw Hu Hai when he entered the lounge, and he hurried over to sit beside Hu Hai: "Brother."

"Nervous?" Hu Hai looked at him.

"A little bit, but if you're here, I'll be more at ease," Xiang Xi calmed down, "Let's play some cool music tonight."

"For example?" Hu Hai asked.

"Just... just be ordinary, don't be too elegant, I will get nervous when I hear it," Xiang Xi squeezed his hands, "I just thought, since I can't compare with Master's kind of outdoor expert, why not Just be thorough, you know what I mean?"

"Understood," Hu Hai nodded with a smile, "I'll try."

Hu Hai would go over first every time, and play a little casually to move his hands first. Xiang Xi took a breath after hearing his piano sound, and sent a text message to Cheng Boyan: Have you sat down yet?

After sitting down, I will wait to see you and find a table that can face you.

Xiang Xi smiled, thinking that he could see Cheng Boyan when he raised his eyes, he immediately relaxed, walked through the corridor and entered the house.

There were obviously a lot more people tonight than yesterday afternoon. There were a few familiar faces, and more people who hadn't seen yesterday. They should all be here for old man Lu.

Cheng Boyan's position was indeed at the big table in the middle, and there were a few people sitting beside the table. With Cheng Boyan's temperament, if it wasn't for looking at him, he would never squeeze a table with others.

When he sat down behind the tea table in the middle, everyone in the room looked over. He had enjoyed this kind of gaze yesterday, and being stared at like this again today, the feeling of being at a loss before was gone.

The little waitress brought him the tea just like yesterday.

While he picked up the tea shovel to pick up the tea, the sound of Hu Hai's piano over there dropped down, and changed the tune after a few fiddles.

Xiang Xi listened with both ears. He only thought that Hu Hai might play something he usually listens to a lot. He never thought that Hu Hai would directly start playing fireworks to Yi Leng.

If Xiang Xi hadn't still had work in hand, he would have almost started singing along.

But I have to say, it's really nice. When Xiang Xi put the tea into the pot, and tested the temperature with his finger on the kettle, he sighed, he really is a layman, and the guqin pieces that Hu Hai usually plays are not as good to him. Today's fireworks are easy to be cold.

The procedure is still the same as yesterday, but the tea is different and the water temperature requirements are different. For Xiang Xi, there is no difference.

With a certain heart, the movement became much smoother. When sealing the pot, he even played a trick, pressing the lid of the pot on the pot with an accent from the sound of the piano on Hu Hai's side.

After doing this, he wanted to laugh himself, and he had to seduce him when he was not doing well... He glanced in the direction of Cheng Boyan, who was eating a snack, looking at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He also hooked the corners of his mouth, embarrassed to smile too obviously.

While Fenghu was waiting, Hu Hai's Firework Yi Leng over there finished the first verse, the sound of the piano became weaker, and when it became clearer again, Xiang Xi, who was already a little bit wanting to laugh, suddenly stopped laughing.

I couldn't help but glanced at Hu Hai, who was still playing with his head down solemnly.

There were two tables of young people in the room who also laughed, and Hu Hai actually played the Song of Scallions.

Cheng Boyan reckoned that Hu Hai's playing these things should be Xiang Xi's request, so he was a bit surprised by Shaping Onion Song, but the fireworks are easy to be cold and inexplicably fit Xiang Xi's temperament.

There is an indescribable fit with the little drag and casual indifference that he showed when he was concentrating on making tea.

Cheng Boyan glanced at Hu Hai, and he just ate his jealousy casually, and he was quite a nice person.

"Mr. Cheng," a woman's voice sounded behind him, "Why didn't you tell me when you came?"

Cheng Boyan recognized that it was Peng Yunfan's voice, and when he turned his head, Peng Yunfan had already sat down beside him, and then a little girl brought a pot of tea and put it on the table.

"Boss Peng..." Cheng Boyan smiled.

"Call me Yunfan, Xiao Peng is also fine," Peng Yunfan whispered with his index finger on his lips, "This is my favorite tea, Mr. Cheng taste it."

"I don't understand tea," Cheng Boyan grabbed the pot before Peng Yunfan poured tea for him, and poured tea into two teacups, "Just to taste it."

"There's no question about drinking tea, only whether you drink it or not," Peng Yunfan said with a smile, "Are you here to see Xiang Xi's performance today?"

"Yeah." Cheng Boyan nodded, looking back at Xiang Xi.

"This young man is quite special," Peng Yunfan also looked over, "As expected of Mr. Lu's apprentice, I really like the effect today, and the guests are also very interested, fresh... Is Mr. Cheng familiar with him?"

"It's quite familiar." Cheng Boyan said.

"From now on, if Xiang Xi is willing to come to my place, Mr. Cheng will come to support me often," Peng Yunfan said, "Does Madam like tea? You can come together. We also have great scented tea here."

"I... alone." Cheng Boyan said, and when he met Xiang Xi's eyes, he smiled.

Xiang Xi narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and lifted the lid of the pot, and Hu Hai's piano sound turned back to the second half of the fireworks, which were easy to be cold.

For more than an hour, Xiang Xi slowly brewed tea. Hu Hai's tunes were always fireworks and easy to cool, but what Cheng Boyan admired was that there were no repetitions, various tunes and rhythms, and every song What is different every time is probably the content I added.

Cheng Boyan didn't understand music, but after listening to it for more than an hour, he didn't feel bored, and didn't even find it repetitive.

He looked at Xiang Xi who had finished making tea and was packing up, and said to Peng Yunfan beside him, "Thank you Boss Peng for the tea, I'm leaving."

"Send Xiang Xi back?" Peng Yunfan smiled, "I hope to see you again."

"Yes." Cheng Boyan nodded. If it wasn't for work reasons, he would pick Xiang Xi up every time he came.

Xiang Xi walked out of the back door with Hu Hai, Hu Hai drove old man Cheng's Q7 and left, Xiang Xi ran over and got into the car.

"Today is really..." Cheng Boyan wanted to say that today was a great day, but Xiang Xi interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"It's really cool today!" Xiang Xi glared at him, "Let's chat with the beautiful boss all night! I gave you a business card again, and you throw it away for me now, or I will throw it in the toilet when I go back later." !"

Cheng Boyan couldn't help laughing: "If I didn't give me my business card, I can still give it back. It's not a false testimony."

"What did you two talk about all night?" Xiang Xi fastened his seat belt, "I really want to go over and serve you a cup of tea in person!"

"I didn't talk about anything, I didn't say a few words, I was staring at you," Cheng Boyan leaned over and kissed the tip of his nose, "Really, you are so handsome tonight, if it weren't for the tea house, I would really I want to go over and push your pants on the table and take off your pants..."

"I'm not at home now!" Xiang Xi shouted, "Will you pay attention to your image?"

Cheng Boyan started the car with a smile, and when he was turning around and driving out, Xiang Xi's cell phone rang, and he took it out for a long time before taking it out, and after looking at it, he yelled again: "Officer Zhang! It's Officer Zhang! Isn't it?" ..."

"Hurry up." Cheng Boyan said.

Xiang Xi picked up the phone, his hands trembled a little, and his voice trembled: "Officer Zhang?"

"Xiang Xi?" Officer Zhang's voice came from over there, "I should have called you earlier, but I just finished my work..."

"Is there... Uncle Ping... any news?" Xiang Xi asked.

"Well, there should be reports on the evening news." Officer Zhang's voice sounded a little tired, but the tone was one of relief.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, you can read the news!" Xiang Xi laughed and said loudly, "Did you really catch it?"

"There are disciplines. It's not convenient to say before. The principal culprit has been caught." Officer Zhang smiled heartily. "There is one more thing, Xiang Xi, come over tomorrow. There are still some problems that need your help."

"Okay! No problem!" Xiang Xi nodded vigorously.

After hanging up the phone, he saw that his fingers were turning white from exertion.

"Caught it!" He turned his head to look at Cheng Boyan, "Uncle Ping caught it! I caught the second set too!"

"Yeah!" Cheng Boyan nodded.

"I got it all!" Xiang Xi threw the phone back, grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously, with tears in his eyes, "I got it all! No one...no one will drag me any more, Not anymore!"

"No one can pull you," Cheng Boyan patted his head, "No one, never."
