Out of place

After the photo was taken, Xiang Xi went to the computer to look at it, saw his smiling face, which was quite handsome, he couldn't help but smiled and touched his face.

Then he said worriedly: "Do you still want to edit the photo? Don't remove my mole."

"No, don't worry," the eldest sister glanced at him, "You can go out, the photos will be archived, and you can use them for anything you make up in the future."

"Okay." Xiang Xi smiled, turned and left the room.

It is not troublesome to apply for an ID card. After checking the information, fingerprints are collected, and then the fee is paid. The job is over, and Xiang Xi adds money to expedite the process.

"Do you need to send it by express? Or come and pick it up yourself?" the staff asked.

"I'll get it myself!" Xiang Xi hurriedly said, "I'll get it myself."

The ID card is of great significance to him. He is really worried about sending it by courier. He has to come and get it in person.

"You can pick it up within seven working days," the staff member gave him the invoice and a note, "keep this and pick it up when the time comes."

Xiang Xi looked at it, and it said the time to collect the ID card. He carefully put the note in his pocket, pressed it with his hand, and walked out of the hall with Officer Li.

After getting in the car, Xiang Xi didn't speak. After getting his ID card, he should go to the identification center to inquire about the results of the blood comparison. It was agreed yesterday.

But at this moment, Xiang Xi suddenly didn't dare to mention this matter, and sat silently in the car.

Officer Li didn't say anything, just looked at him, and turned directly onto the main road with the car.

Xiang Xi has never been here before, so he doesn't know how to get to the identification center from here, but he knows that the direction he is going now is opposite to the direction he came from.

Seeing the blue sign of the appraisal center, Xiang Xi's heart skipped a beat.

"Maybe not today..." Officer Li parked the car and was talking when his cell phone rang and he picked it up.

Xiang Xi didn't know if he could listen to the call, he hesitated for a moment, opened the door and got out of the car first.

Officer Li said a few words in the car, then hung up the phone and got out of the car, patted on the roof of the car: "The phone number from the identification center, the result came out, just right."

"What?" Xiang Xi suddenly looked up at him, "What result?"

"The result of the comparison," Officer Li said, "Let's go in."

"The result...how is it?" Xiang Xi asked eagerly, "Did it match? Is there...the same as mine?"

"I don't know yet, I'll confirm with you later," Officer Li patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous."

take it easy.

That's what Xiang Xi told himself, don't be nervous.

Didn't he already think about it, no matter whether he matched up or not, no matter what the result was, he had already decided to let it go.

But thinking so, when it comes time to face this matter directly, I will still be uncontrollably nervous.

When the people from the appraisal center took some papers and put them on the table in front of him, Xiang Xi didn't reach for them.

Originally standing, he slowly sat on the chair, staring at the paper in front of him.

The words were a little unclear, but only the word report and his name were scanned.

These few pieces of paper, which he hardly had the courage to touch, contained his fate and the result he had been waiting for for a long time.

but……

Maybe no need to look any further.

The expression on this person's face when he walked over had already told him the result.

"No..." Xiang Xi struggled to speak, feeling his throat was dry, "It's on par, isn't it?"

"Yes, there is no comparison," the man flipped the paper back, pointed to one of the items and said softly, "Just look here."

Xiang Xi followed his hand to look over, and a word "no" jumped into his sight.

"Oh." He responded.

"Don't be disappointed," the man reassured him. "Not all family members of missing persons will report for blood collection, especially for those who disappeared early. We haven't started this work at that time..."

"Well," Xiang Xi smiled, "I know."

"Xiang Xi." Officer Li patted him, but did not continue.

"It's okay." Xiang Xi stood up, carefully picked up the report and folded it, then turned and walked out, "I didn't have much hope on the day I came to collect blood, and I don't feel much now, after all...it's been 20 years gone."

Officer Li didn't say anything, but planned to drive him back.

"Can I trouble you to take me to the hospital?" Xiang Xi asked, "I want to find my friend."

"Okay," Officer Li nodded, "I'll take you there."

"Thank you, I ran with me several times." Xiang Xi said.

"It's not a problem," Officer Li said, "Remember to get your ID card on time, it will be convenient in the future."

"Yeah." Xiang Xi smiled.

Officer Li sent him to the gate of the hospital, and said to him through the car window: "Okay, that's it. If you have anything related, you can come to me again. I wish you success."

Xiang Xi went to the outpatient clinic, but did not see Cheng Boyan, then went to the inpatient department, and did not see Cheng Boyan in the office.

After inquiring about it, I found out that he had surgery today.

Xiang Xi sighed, stood by the window in the corridor and looked out.

He is very familiar with the inpatient department. It was the first time he opened his eyes on the hospital bed in the inpatient department, and felt Cheng Boyan's cleanliness for the first time...

He laughed.

He's been hospitalized here twice, has delivered fast food countless times, and knows most of the nurses and doctors here.

Standing here again now has a wonderful feeling.

Can't tell if it's emotional or happy.

"Xiang Xi?" A little nurse walked by him, "Are you waiting for Dr. Cheng here?"

"Well," Xiang Xi smiled, "He said he had an operation."

"Yeah, I went in at ten o'clock," the little nurse looked at the time, "It should be out by now, the minor surgery will be very fast."

"Then I'll wait." Xiang Xi sat down on the chair next to him.

"Are you in a hurry?" the little nurse pressed the elevator button and asked.

"No rush, just free time." Xiang Xi leaned on the back of the chair and stretched his legs, "From now on, I'm not in a hurry, I'm done."

"Ah?" The little nurse didn't understand.

Xiang Xi smiled and said nothing.

There were many people coming and going in and out of the inpatient department. Those who were admitted to the hospital wrapped in various protective gear, and those who came to visit the patients with flowers and nutrition, walked back and forth in front of him.

Xiang Xi just sat on the chair motionless and watched people until the elevator door opened and a man in a white coat came out.

The shoes on the legs and feet, as well as the way he walked, he could immediately recognize who this person was just by looking at them.

"Doctor Cheng." Xiang Xi called out.

Cheng Boyan turned his head and saw that he was a little surprised, and then a smile appeared on his face after being stunned: "Why did you come here?"

"You're done with the operation?" Xiang Xi stood up, laughed a few times, and moved to his side and walked to the office with him.

"Just finished," Cheng Boyan still held a pile of medical records and materials in his hand, "Why, come and treat me to dinner?"

"Yes, is it a reward?" Xiang Xi said.

"This face must be rewarded," Cheng Boyan smiled, "I'll change my clothes first, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so I can eat a little longer at noon."

Cheng Boyan changed his clothes and took Xiang Xi to a small alley behind the hospital.

"What do you want to eat here?" Xiang Xi looked around, "The stalls here must kill you, your cleanliness has suddenly disappeared?"

"My colleague found it a while ago, it's just in front," Cheng Boyan pointed to a small door in front, "The environment is quite touching."

This is a small restaurant hidden in the depths of the alley. It is small enough to accommodate five tables. Although the main business is fast food, it can be seen from the outside that this is a romantic restaurant.

Retro industrial decoration, exposed red bricks, various black iron shelves, chairs made of water pipes, iron tables, and old black floor tiles.

"This kind of decoration, just have a quick meal," Xiang Xi looked around after sitting down, "It's too pretentious."

"It's enough to be clean, that's all I ask," Cheng Boyan smiled, and after ordering the meal, he looked at Xiang Xi and asked, "Did you go to get your ID card today?"

"Well," Xiang Xi took out the neatly folded voucher from his pocket and put it on the table, "I can get it within seven working days, please keep it for me, I'm afraid I might lose it in my pocket."

"Is the photo handsome?" Cheng Boyan looked at the note carefully, then folded it and put it in his wallet.

"It's so handsome that the lights in the certificate processing hall blew up. I don't even have the nerve to stay longer. I'm afraid that the elder sister who took the photo has a bad heart." Xiang Xi said a series of words without thinking.

"Then when I get my ID card back, I have to take a pill first and then look at it." Cheng Boyan laughed.

Xiang Xi laughed with him for a while, then slowly put away his smile, took out the report of blood collection results from his pocket, and put it in front of Cheng Boyan: "The comparison results... came out."

"Let me see." Cheng Boyan picked up the report and looked at it.

"There is no comparison." Xiang Xi said.

Cheng Boyan's hand shook slightly, and after reading a few pages, he looked up at Xiang Xi: "Probably too long ago, your parents didn't think of sampling."

"The people in the identification center also said so," Xiang Xi smiled, "There are quite a few people who say they can't match."

Cheng Boyan slowly folded the report into small pieces and put them in his wallet: "Want to talk to me about this?"

"No," Xiang Xi looked at him, "I'm fine, and this result is expected. Don't tell me, I was thrown away. The chances of an abandoned child wanting to find it are too low. Is not it."

Cheng Boyan didn't speak.

"That's it," Xiang Xi picked up the glass and took a sip of lemonade, "No matter what, as an abandoned child, I did everything I could, there was nothing to think about, and there was no need to think about it What."

"You can think about me more in the future." Cheng Boyan pointed to himself.

"I'm thinking about it," Xiang Xi rested his chin, "When I think of your heroic posture of catching chickens yesterday, I feel really happy. There is someone who gritted his teeth and struggled with me in the muddy chicken feathers..."

"It's not that serious," Cheng Boyan said with a smile, "We can continue if you want to go next time."

"Really?" Xiang Xi thought for a while, "Then let's rent a ridge of land next time, isn't it very popular to grow vegetables by ourselves now, rent a ridge of land, pick manure and fertilize by ourselves..."

"Hey." Cheng Boyan looked at him.

"Farmyard manure, pollution-free and all-natural, just behind my master's teahouse, he knows the farmers there well," Xiang Xi insisted, and then clapped his hands, "How about it?"

"Very... good." Cheng Boyan said.

After the meal, Cheng Boyan sent Xiang Xi to the station in front of the hospital: "After you get your ID card, learn to get a driver's license, so you don't have to wait for the bus."

"Okay," Xiang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Then I can take you to and from get off work every day?"

"Well," Cheng Boyan nodded, "It's another matter whether you have a car or not, I can enjoy the driver first."

"No problem, boss!" Xiang Xi snapped his fingers, laughing until his eyes disappeared.

Seeing Xiang Xi get on the bus, Cheng Boyan turned around and went back to the hospital. There was not much to do in the afternoon, but there were still a lot of medical records to be written.

He sat in the office and spent 10 minutes thinking about Xiang Xibi's failure before starting to work. He was afraid that he would make a wrong medical record while thinking about it.

He wasn't too surprised by Xiang Xi's calm reaction, whether he had figured it out or became numb, the impact of this incident on Xiang Xi would no longer be as great as it was a few months ago.

This precocious little boy, who looked like he didn't care about anything but was actually surprisingly thoughtful, was able to let go of the past.

Xiang Xi is very smart and works very hard. Once there is nothing to hinder him and make him let go of his pace, he will definitely run as fast as the wind.

Tea ceremony master Xiang Xi?

Cheng Boyan couldn't help smiling, although he found it hard to imagine, but he was indeed handsome.

Getting off work on time today, Cheng Boyan drove to the market, not a supermarket, but a market.

The biggest farmer's market in the market, Cheng Boyan grew up so big, he has been here about twice, both were dragged by his grandma, he has a deep fear of this place.

Vegetable leaves, water, all kinds of chicken feathers and duck feathers...

This is the first time he has come to this place on his own initiative, and he wants to buy vegetables.

Buy... grasshoppers.

Yes to buy grasshoppers, he wants to buy grasshoppers.

Tonight he plans to make a fried grasshopper.

This stuff can't be bought in the general market, and it is estimated that it can only be found here.

I probably really got scared and went crazy yesterday.

The market is huge, and Cheng Boyan tried his best not to step on water and inexplicable hairs, but because his eyes had to look around, he didn't turn half a circle before he saw that his shoes were stained with sewage.

When he was lowering his head and wondering whether to wipe it off now or after turning it over, a person walked past him carrying a box of unknown things, and stepped into the water beside him.

Cheng Boyan watched helplessly as the splashed sewage splashed on his trouser legs, three big black drops.

He felt like he wanted to jump over to fight that person but didn't want to move any more. After a few seconds, he straightened up and sighed.

whatever!Dirty be dirty!Dirty!

After looking around but not finding the grasshopper, Cheng Boyan had no choice but to go into a grain and oil store to inquire, and the owner pointed him in the right direction.

He went around halfway again and found the grasshopper in the corner near the north exit of the market.

Also found were frogs and a bunch of incomprehensible bugs.

"Do you want a grasshopper?" the boss asked.

"Well," Cheng Boyan responded, staring at the grasshoppers jumping back and forth in the cage, "are they all alive?"

"Of course it's alive! It's so fresh!" said the boss.

"This thing... how to do it?" Cheng Boyan asked.

"Fry it in oil, take it back to the boil and blanch it in boiling water, and then tear off the wings." The boss said.

"Hot...trick?" Cheng Boyan felt that the challenge was too big when he heard it, "Have you dealt with it?"

"I can help you deal with it, but it will be a lot more expensive." The boss glanced at him.

"It doesn't matter, it's expensive," Cheng Boyan said quickly, "Just help me deal with it."

"Sure, there are few people today, otherwise I don't have time to get it for you," the boss skillfully took a small-eyed net bag, "How many catties?"

"...Just fry up a plate, half a catty?" Cheng Boyan didn't know how much this thing should be bought, "You can just have some."

"Yo, you just want to let me deal with it." The boss was a little reluctant.

"I can't finish it if I want too much." Cheng Boyan frowned, "What about a catty?"

"Put it in the refrigerator, take it out and fry it when you eat it, the frozen one will be more crispy when fried," the boss said.

"...All right, two catties." Cheng Boyan made up his mind.

The man smiled, grabbed a few, and shook the net bag in front of him: "Look at it, okay?"

"All right, all right," Cheng Boyan began.

Cheng Boyan entered the house with a bag of grasshoppers in his heart.

Xiang Xi was sitting in the living room watching TV, when he saw him entering the room, he jumped off the sofa and came over to pick up his things: "What did you buy?"

"Eat," Cheng Boyan handed him the bag, "Don't look at it yet, I've finished cooking tonight, and you're just in time for supper when you come back from Yunshui."

"Supper? So mysterious," Xiang Xi squeezed the bag, "What is it..."

"Don't pinch!" Cheng Boyan shouted, "...Don't pinch, just put it in the refrigerator."

"Oh," Xiang Xi nodded, but obediently didn't pinch or research, "What's for dinner?"

"Let's eat noodles," Cheng Boyan said, "Tomato and egg noodles?"

"Okay." Xiang Xi agreed, there wasn't much time for dinner, so he didn't fight with Cheng Boyan any more.

Although Xiang Xi thinks about cooking every day and dislikes Cheng Boyan's cooking in various ways, he is not picky when he eats it. Every time, no matter how bad it is, he will finish it calmly and comfortably. Not a lot.

Cheng Boyan looked at Xiang Xi who was eating noodles with his head bowed. Sometimes it was Xiang Xi's character that made him feel very distressed and liked him.

Today's noodles are still something I don't like to eat, but Xiang Xi ate up a big bowl with his head down.

"It's so unpalatable that I can't even eat it?" Xiang Xi looked up at the half of the noodles left in his bowl, "Have I eaten it?"

"Well," Cheng Boyan nodded, "Do you want to add some salt?"

"No need, adding it can't save it," Xiang Xi said while eating, "This unpalatable taste is in his bones, a few grains of salt are too weak."

Cheng Boyan looked at him and smiled for a long time.

"Don't cook noodles for supper at night." Xiang Xi said again.

"No cooking noodles," Cheng Boyan said, "you should like it."

Today Cheng Boyan only sent Xiang Xi to the back door of Yunshui, and did not go in with him.

Xiang Xi was a bit reluctant, and leaned against the car door and touched his arm: "Why don't you go in? Do you think the consumption is too high? Let Boss Peng give you a discount."

"I just don't want to meet her," Cheng Boyan touched the tip of his nose, "I'm too lazy to find something to say."

"She..." Xiang Xi narrowed his eyes, "Alright, I don't want to see you talking to her and laughing."

"Let Hu Hai take you back tonight." Cheng Boyan saw that there was no one around, and leaned over to kiss him. "The supper I prepared for you has to be cooked and eaten now. It won't taste good after a long time."

"Then can't I do it when I go back?" Xiang Xi frowned.

"No, I want to give you a surprise," Cheng Boyan smiled, "Call me when you come out, so I can count the time to do it."

"Okay," Xiang Xi clicked his tongue, "Then I'll ask Brother Hai to take me back."

"Don't irritate me," Cheng Boyan flicked the tip of his nose, "Why don't you blame me for cleaning you up at night."

"Ouch," Xiang Xi laughed and jumped up, "This man is so vengeful, it's too scary!"

Today's time is with old man Lu. Xiang Xi will perform first, followed by old man Lu.

Hu Hai still made a different song for Xiang Xi. The last time it was Firework Yi Leng and Song of Shaking Green Onions, this time there will be two more songs. The first one is A Chinese Ghost Story.

Xiang Xi liked this song very much, it was very nostalgic, and he hummed along in his heart very steadily. When the tea was served, Hu Hai over there suddenly changed the tune. After a series of majestic tones, Xiang Xi was stunned Dazed, I suddenly felt like I had traveled through time, and I always felt that I would draw a long sword from my back in the next second.

After a few words, some of the tea guests applauded.

Cang Hai laughed, and while pouring out the tea, Xiang Xi glanced at Hu Hai, this song sounds so good...

After Xiang Xi's performance ended and he returned to the lounge, Hu Hai's canghai laugh continued. Old man Lu looked at him and said with a smile, "You two are very good at playing."

"It's fun." Xiang Xi was a little embarrassed, "I think this song is more suitable for you."

"You don't understand," said the old man Lu, "you have to have quack aura. I don't have it, but you have it. You have to have an aura like you...Boy, you can become a teacher."

"Don't," Xiang Xi grabbed Old Man Lu's arm, "You can't just send me away like this, it's an internship."

"I don't want to make money," old man Lu whispered in his ear, and said happily, "This can make a lot of money, I just tell Xiao Peng, she already likes your style."

"Qian..." Xiang Xi felt that he might still love money so much in another ten years. When he heard the word money, he immediately became unsteady. He is handsome enough, "I still like money..."

Old man Lu patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "I just like your straightforwardness, you don't pretend to be rude!"

"Then if I officially do it, will Brother Hai still be with me?" Xiang Xi was a little worried.

"Of course I'll be with you. He was specially invited by Xiao Peng. Do you think he's my accompanist?" Old Man Lu said with a smile, "I'll come too, don't be nervous."

Xiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Today Peng Yunfan and old man Lu have something to talk about, so Hu Hai will send Xiang Xi back first.

Xiang Xi called Cheng Boyan, and then told Hu Hai about his ID card along the way, as if he had acquired some treasure and was eager to show off to everyone he knew.

Hu Hai kept smiling and didn't speak, listening to him quietly.

"Am I stupid? Brother." Xiang Xi said and scratched his head.

"I'm not stupid, let you say that, I want to hang my ID card on the wall in a frame." Hu Hai said.

Xiang Xi hey hey hey another tonk.

Hu Hai's car drove all the way downstairs, and Xiang Xi opened the car door: "Thank you, brother."

"You're welcome," Hu Hai looked at him, hesitated and asked again, "Do you live with Dr. Cheng?"

"...Mmm." Xiang Xi also hesitated and nodded.

"Boyfriend?" Hu Hai asked.

Xiang Xi was stunned, held the car door for a long time before nodding in bewilderment.

"I don't mean anything else, just that day... when he picked you up," Hu Hai cleared his throat, "I happened to see it upstairs...just ask a question."

"Oh, ah!" Xiang Xi's face flushed immediately.

"It's good, it's good to have someone you like," Hu Hai smiled, "Go up, there's another show on Friday, don't forget."

When Xiang Xi came out of the elevator, he still felt a little unrecovered. When Hu Hai told him about it, he was completely unprepared, and he never expected that people would have seen him and Cheng Boyan brazenly kissing downstairs in the tea room. went to...

Although Hu Hai was so calm that he was moved by the attitude of saying that it was your girlfriend, he still kicked the door viciously, intending to ask the teacher for a crime.

It's all the old rascal's fault!

"No key?" Cheng Boyan came over and opened the door.

"You..." Xiang Xi smelled the aroma of fried food at the same time the door opened, and immediately put aside the matter of Xingshi's questioning, "Did you fry something? Deep fry?"

"Well, it's ready." Cheng Boyan was still sweating on his forehead, "You can eat after washing your hands."

"No, you fry? Isn't frying your natural enemy? You actually fried it?" Xiang Xi quickly changed his shoes, "What did you fry? Did you fry it? It smells like it's not burnt..."

"Wash your hands." Cheng Boyan said with a smile.

Xiang Xi ran to the kitchen to wash his hands, and then lifted the cover on the desk next to him.

Then Cheng Boyan heard his shout: "Dad!"

"How about it?" Cheng Boyan walked into the kitchen and stood behind him, "Is it your favorite food?"

Xiang Xi slowly turned his head and stared at him for a long time: "I... haven't cried for a long time?"

"It's not too long, I think you're always crying," Cheng Boyan smiled, and tickled his chin lightly, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to cry." Xiang Xi said, his voice instantly turned nasal.

"Cry after eating." Cheng Boyan said.

"No, I'm going to cry now." Xiang Xi looked at him.

Cheng Boyan smiled, and put his arms around him: "Then cry."
