Out of place

Xiang Xi is not a crying person, but recently Cheng Boyan saw that he was crying more and more frequently, probably watering too much.

Cheng Boyan looked at Xiang Xi, who had been looking out of the window all the time and stuck his head outside. He must be crying again, but he didn't want to be seen by him.

"Want to eat something?" Cheng Boyan asked, "Shall I take you to eat?"

"I want to eat cake, ice cream cake," Xiang Xi rubbed his eyes and turned his head, "Hey, the wind is so strong now, just now I saw a dog poking its head in the opposite car, do you think it is uncomfortable... ..."

"It's fine to ask you if you don't, Xiang Xiaogou has been blowing for 5 minutes, and his ears are gone." Cheng Boyan said.

"Driving your car, so much nonsense," Xiang Xi sniffed, "It's getting colder, this is it."

"Well, it's about time for a tonic," Cheng Boyan said, "You can go to my house with me on weekends, I guess my mother will buy a lot of things for grandma to take over."

"Okay," Xiang Xi nodded, "Go shopping with her?"

"Yeah," Cheng Boyan smiled, "I said last time that I wanted to talk to her about you, but I never went. Now that Uncle Ping and Er Pan have been arrested, it's easier to talk about it. How about we return the two together?" Fugitive, don't be practical."

"Say it under control," Xiang Xi pulled on his seat belt, "don't say anything, just say that Uncle Ping is a gangster, don't say anything else, you have to learn to deceive people occasionally, if you want Don't let me teach you."

Cheng Boyan glanced at him and smiled for a long time: "I know, I just want these two people to be arrested, so I will be at ease, and I will be at ease when I make up nonsense."

"Well, anyway, if you think about it, Mr. Xiang will teach you how to make it up. This is Mr. Xiang's specialty." Xiang Xi said cheerfully.

Cheng Boyan didn't speak. In the past, when Xiang Xi talked about these things, he would deliberately be indifferent, trying to hide his concern for the past, but now he suddenly lost that feeling.

Maybe it's because Uncle Ping and Er Pan were arrested, no one will threaten him anymore, and there will be no more things that make him feel unsafe. When he says these words now, he can only feel calm.

Seeing such a change in him, Cheng Boyan suddenly felt his nose a little sore. After such a long time, Xiang Xi could finally face the entangled darkness in his heart calmly.

There is a feeling that a small cabbage seed buried in a pot and watered and fertilized every day to bask in the sun finally germinated.

"Do you want to eat cake?" Cheng Boyan said, "Then go eat it. There is a very big main store on the road back from the hospital."

"It's ice cream cake." Xiang Xi emphasized.

"Okay." Cheng Boyan nodded with a smile.

The ice cream cakes were almost gone at this time, and the main store I went to didn't have any. Cheng Boyan checked the time and it wasn't too late, so he drove with Xiang Xi to look for it all the way, and when he saw a cake shop, he stopped and asked.

Finally, I found it on an unknown street almost eighty miles away from my home. The name of the cake shop was quite predestined, it was called Uncle Cheng’s Bakery...

"Your uncle's store," Cheng Boyan asked the clerk to make sure there were still ice cream cakes before he parked the car on the side of the road. "See if I can give your father a discount."

"I also want to drink a can of yogurt." Xiang Xi happily jumped out of the car.

"If you want to drink donkey milk, I will accompany you to find it." Cheng Boyan said.

"...I don't want to drink donkey milk." Xiang Xi glanced at him.

Xiang Xi walked into the cake shop, there was only one clerk inside, he turned around: "Where's the cake?"

"Here," the clerk pointed to the air-conditioned counter next to it, "there are several kinds."

"Is your boss surnamed Cheng?" Xiang Xi leaned on the counter and looked at the cakes inside. The price is not cheap. He is usually reluctant to spend two to thirty yuan for a small cake that can't be palmed. "His brother is here."

"Huh?" The clerk was stunned, "Our manager's surname is Wang."

"That's not right, your store's name is Uncle Cheng, and the store manager is Lao Wang next door?" Xiang Xi turned to look at Cheng Boyan, "The person's surname is Wang."

"Uncle Cheng is a chain store," the clerk laughed, "We have more than a dozen stores in the city, but the boss's surname is not Cheng."

"Don't be poor, pick it up quickly," Cheng Boyan said, "Is there any yogurt, too?"

"Just the one with the pink flowers," Xiang Xi pointed, "Does the yogurt taste like red dates?"

"Yes." The clerk brought a can of jujube yogurt.

Back in the car, Xiang Xi put his legs in front of the car comfortably, and ate a mouthful of yogurt and a cake.

After taking two bites, he handed the cake to Cheng Boyan's mouth: "You can lick this little pink flower, I didn't move, I left it for you."

"Why did you pick a small pink flower?" Cheng Boyan licked the flower.

"It's pretty," Xiang Xi said, "You don't like pink?"

"Nothing special." Cheng Boyan smiled.

"Then what color do you like?" Xiang Xi immediately asked, which seemed to be a good opportunity to ask about the color.

"I don't really like it...Green? I feel very comfortable. When I went to your master's teahouse, I thought the tea mountain looked very comfortable." Cheng Boyan said.

"Then why don't you have green clothes, green pants and green shoes?" Xiang Xi said while eating.

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Boyan thought for a while, "White, black, and blue. These are the usual colors. My mother bought me a pink shirt, but I haven't worn it yet in the closet."

"Is blue dark blue?" Xiang Xi asked, there were black and blue watches that day, but there were two kinds of light blue.

"Well, what do I look like wearing pink and blue, do you dare to see it." Cheng Boyan smiled.

"I dare to see you in turkey color." Xiang Xi said with a smile, let's go for dark blue, which is quite stable and not too heavy. It should be suitable for people like Cheng Boyan who have duplicity.

Xiang Xi felt very sleepy when he got home, but he still managed to watch the rebroadcast of the evening news. The news didn’t go into too much detail, it only said that the two fugitive suspects had been captured by the police, and the location was in the suburbs of the city, and no clues were given. How did it come about, maybe it was Dajian’s move.

Before Cheng Boyan helped him to investigate, as far as Uncle Ping and Erpan were involved in drug production and trafficking, it would be dead if they were caught. Xiang Xi felt a little emotional when he thought about it. If you don't go or dare not go out, you still feel that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and it's actually hiding in such a close place...

After the news was over, he leaned his head back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and felt very relaxed. Of course, his mood was also a little complicated.

If he hadn't run out in the end, what would be the end now.

Playing with tea in the tea house, eating cake and drinking yogurt on the way home, watching TV on the sofa at home...

Thinking about it, he laughed a few times.

"I'm going to take a shower first," Cheng Boyan stood up, "Your time?"

"En." Xiang Xi replied, it's cold now, he's actually a bit lazy to take a bath.

After Cheng Boyan came out, he went back to the bedroom to read a book. He walked around in the bathroom, changed his pajamas, and then sneaked into the bedroom to sleep.

"Forgot to take your clothes?" Cheng Boyan looked up at him.

"No, it's already changed." Xiang Xi tugged on his pajamas.

Cheng Boyan hooked the corner of his mouth: "Changed into pajamas before taking a bath?"

"I... finished washing," Xiang Xi rubbed to the side of the bed, "I'm so sleepy, I'll go to bed first."

"Believe it or not, I stripped you naked and threw it back to the bathroom?" Cheng Boyan put down his book and looked at him, "There's no movement at all, just finished washing?"

"Today, wash more casually..." Xiang Xi still wanted to struggle.

Just when he was about to lie down on the bed, Cheng Boyan jumped up and took a step forward, grabbed his arm, and picked him up.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Xiang Xi yelled a series of times, frowning, "Arm, arm, arm, it hurts...my injury hasn't healed yet..."

"I wanted to say it when I first met you, but I never had a chance," Cheng Boyan dragged him and didn't let go, "May I pay you to enroll in an acting class? I think you'll have a better future if you go to acting than if you play tea." Much more."

"Huh?" Xiang Xi turned to look at him.

"If I hadn't seen your film, I would know what kind of strength I have," Cheng Boyan said, "I would have thought I really hurt you."

"How do you know you didn't get hurt? You can lift someone's arms just by raising your hand." Xiang Xi furrowed his eyebrows again.

"It's only when you can take off your shoulders that I know that you definitely don't even hurt." Cheng Boyan pulled him again, "Stand still, if it really hurts, can you still hang on my hand like this?"

"Hey, I..." Xiang Xi struggled and tried to put it on again, but Cheng Boyan had already helped him get a new set of pajamas from the cabinet, and pushed him to the bathroom, "My life is so miserable."

"My life is miserable," Cheng Boyan said, "I was just sitting on the dripping soup watching TV."

Xiang Xi was happy after thinking about it: "I'll go to Police Officer Zhang tomorrow and come back to help you delete it."

"What do you mean by erasing it for me? I didn't do it." Cheng Boyan corrected him.

"Hey, I'll delete it when I get back, okay?" Xiang Xi said.

"Good boy," Cheng Boyan pulled his hair, "Do you want Dad to help you take a bath?"

"No need!" Xiang Xi quickly pushed the door open and went into the bathroom, "Dad, go read a book! Hurry up and study hard to save lives and heal the wounded."

Although he didn't want to take a bath, he was still very comfortable after washing, especially Cheng Boyan opened the bedroom window, and when he came out of the bathroom, a gust of cool wind swept over his body, giving him a refreshing feeling of coolness.

He ran into the bedroom, jumped onto the bed, pulled the quilt over his body, rolled back and forth on the bed a few times, and wrapped himself into a tube: "Comfortable."

"Someone just didn't want to wash it." Cheng Boyan turned off the lamp and lay down on the bed.

"Hey, it feels like winter is coming soon," Xiang Xi bared his teeth at him, "Listen."

Just as Cheng Boyan was about to ask something, the sound of Xiang Xi's teeth chattering came from his ears. He was shocked: "Are you so cold? Do you have a fever?"

"No," Xiang Xi laughed, and clicked at him a few more times, "This is another skill of mine, I can make this movement even in a 40-degree day."

"What's the use of this skill?" Cheng Boyan smiled.

"Just pretend to be pitiful, uncle, brother, grandpa and aunt," Xiang Xi said while cackling his teeth, "I was wrong, I really had no choice but to...steal your wallet...I'm so cold..."

Hearing Xiang Xi's expressive words, Cheng Boyan wanted to laugh but also felt very distressed, turned over and hugged Xiang Xi who was rolled into a tube, and patted: "Then summer can't use this trick, right?"

"Sometimes it can be used. It's okay to make your teeth fight. Please don't hit me, don't hit me. My father is sick..." Xiang Xi gritted his teeth and laughed, then sighed, "Think about it." It's funny, people really can do anything, you can only live, you can throw away your self-esteem, face, and morality, it's not throwing away, it's not at all."

"You have it." Cheng Boyan said.

"Well," Xiang Xi thought for a while, "I have some, and they were all in that little box of mine... Did you put the box away for me?"

"That small iron box, it's in the cabinet," Cheng Boyan said, "Do you want to see it?"

"No need," Xiang Xi smiled, "I didn't always watch them before, they were all small rags to remember myself, there was a man named Xiao Zhan, he had a movie ticket, he had seen the movie, and there was a movie ticket on it. There are dates, and he still has books, but he hasn't read them... Anyway, they are all these, so I will look at them when I think of them, now I don't need to use them to prove myself, I just keep them as souvenirs."

"Even if there is nothing, there is still me," Cheng Boyan pinched his earlobe, "I saw you, remembered you, loved you, knew what you did, what you said, what you liked, what you were afraid of... right? "

"Well," Xiang Xi turned over and confronted him, "You're still jealous."

"Yes," Cheng Boyan clicked his tongue, "but Hu Hairen is quite nice."

"It's pretty good," Xiang Xi rubbed his lips with the tip of his nose, "but don't expect me to say good things about Boss Peng."

"You don't need to say that she is good. Whether she is good or not has nothing to do with us," Cheng Boyan said. "If you really continue to work in Yunshui, she will give you money on time, and then you save money. If you save enough money to support me, that's fine."

Xiang Xi smiled for a long time: "Do you stay at home and wipe the floor every day?"

"Yeah, let me tell you, if I hadn't been too tired at work, I would have wiped the house twice a day from top to bottom," Cheng Boyan said with a smile, "It's a pity that I haven't achieved this lofty goal...by the way tomorrow You can wipe the floor after you finish brushing the dripping soup."

"Is that called by the way?" Xiang Xi sighed.

"It's by the way, after brushing the soup, wipe the floor with a hand, isn't it just by the way," Cheng Boyan kissed him, "If you are tired after going out in the morning, don't move, I can also wipe it when I rest the day after tomorrow. "

"You've already said everything..." Xiang Xi said.

"Then just wipe it," Cheng Boyan hugged him tightly, "Go to sleep, which side do you want to wash? Can you spread some quilt for me?"

Xiang Xi tore off the quilt wrapped around his body, turned over and pressed his back against Cheng Boyan's chest: "This way."

"Well," Cheng Boyan covered the quilt, "good night."

"Good night."

To see Police Officer Zhang again, Xiang Xi didn't know whether he was excited or nervous. Officer Zhang said that he could stop by him while doing business, so Xiang Xi stood at the gate of the community and waited.

There is no trio, no Cheng Boyan, just him alone, but no need to worry about whether someone will rush out suddenly, this feeling is simply indescribably wonderful.

Even when Police Officer Zhang pulled up in front of him in a police car, his nervousness of wanting to run after seeing the police disappeared, and he happily got into the car.

"There is nothing particularly important today, the main thing is to identify the photos, and then you need your help to confirm some of the suspect's related statements, and it won't take too long." Officer Zhang explained to him.

"Well, I'm fine anyway," Xiang Xi paused, "Then..."

"Your matter, we also asked about him when we sorted out his relationship." Officer Zhang knew what he wanted to ask, "There are no useful clues. He said he picked it up and said the location. I can tell you the location later." Writing to you... How is your account, is it going well?"

"It went well, and I went to collect blood. The comparison results haven't come out yet, and I'm waiting." Xiang Xi said, what Uncle Ping said may be true, and about his life experience, maybe it really is like this, abandoned by his parents ...

But why throw him away?

If you can't find your family, there may never be an answer.

Assisting Officer Zhang and the others to identify some photos, some of the people on them he had met once or twice, and some he hadn't seen, he told the truth, answered some questions, and signed, and everything was fine.

Xiang Xi stood at the station waiting for the bus with an address written to him by police officer Zhang. To be precise, it was not an address. It was the place Uncle Ping mentioned when he recalled picking up his location. He was wrapped and placed next to the wall of a family.

It was really picked up from the west.

Xiang Xi smiled and looked at the note in his hand.

"I'll have a rest tomorrow," Cheng Boyan said while changing his shoes when he got home, "Let's go to that place."

"Huh?" Xiang Xi looked at him.

"Go and have a look, ask around, maybe someone will remember," Cheng Boyan handed him a paper bag, "Red date yogurt, still iced."

"Ah," Xiang Xi happily took out the yogurt and took a sip, "Why did you think of buying this for me?"

"I passed by a yogurt shop when I got off work. I thought you might be tired today, so I bought it." Cheng Boyan scratched his hair, "Did you wipe the floor?"

"Well, I wiped it according to your request, and it's actually not too tiring." Xiang Xi pointed to the sofa again, "The sofa has also been cleaned, but there are still some marks."

"It's okay, it's almost fine, I can't see it when I sit on it," Cheng Boyan said, "Are you going to Yunshui today?"

"No, just three times a week." Xiang Xi leaned on the sofa and drank yogurt comfortably. "Master will let me go here if he is true. Do you want to treat him to a meal to thank you?"

"Thank you if you don't go here, you can invite him to come home," Cheng Boyan scooped up his sleeves, "I'll make a meal."

"I think that tea restaurant is pretty good, it's clean, and the food is delicious." Xiang Xi didn't look at him, looking at the yogurt bottle with lowered eyelids, "or..."

"I plan to learn one dish a day from today." Cheng Boyan said while changing clothes.

"Or it's fine at the Tea Research Institute. I saw a Cantonese restaurant the other day. It's lighter. It's suitable for the old man." Xiang Xi continued.

"Let's have scrambled eggs with bitter gourd first." Cheng Boyan entered the kitchen.

Dinner was bitter gourd soup and scrambled eggs with bitter gourd. The bitter gourd was a bit raw, but the taste was okay. Cheng Boyan fried it with some chili, so the bitterness was not obvious.

The bitter gourd soup was a little more subtle, but Xiang Xi also drank two bowls of soup.

"It's really easy to feed." Cheng Boyan said, he didn't eat much, which wasn't much in the first place, and the food wasn't very good.

"I'll cook tomorrow." Xiang Xi put down his chopsticks, "It's because I'm so easy to support."

"Tomorrow we will eat outside," Cheng Boyan said, "Let's go out in the morning, first go to inquire about the news, and then play around to relax. There are many farmhouses by the river, how about we go eat some chicken or something?" ?”

"Okay." Xiang Xi nodded.

"Xiang Xi, this trip is just to see if I can find out." Cheng Boyan shook his hand, "Whether you can find out or not, it's just an outing."

"Well," Xiang Xi smiled, "We haven't gone out for an outing yet."

"After you get your ID card, let's go to a place far away for a few days." Cheng Boyan took the phone and looked at the calendar. "I will try to take a few days of annual leave this year and see if it works."

"It's so pitiful," Xiang Xi looked at him with his chin lifted, "It seems that I really need to make money to support you in the future."

"I'm counting on you, save me quickly." Cheng Boyan said with a smile.

Although it was just a trip to the western suburbs of the city looking for possibilities, Xiang Xi was still very excited. He packed water and snacks in his bag early in the morning.

This time he didn't have too much hope, but more hoped that he could have an outing with Cheng Boyan.

Although it's early autumn and it's impossible to go outing, it's interesting for two people to drive a car and bring food and drink to the suburbs, even if it's just to look at the withered grass.

Cheng Boyan did not prepare as thoroughly as he did, but just took a small bottle of disinfectant and put it in his bag.

"People say that it's safe to have your wallet, mobile phone and keys on your body. I don't think you need it. You can feel comfortable holding a bottle of disinfectant." Xiang Xi sighed.

"I still have to bring my son," Cheng Boyan put his arm around his shoulder, "Let's go."
