mild compromise

Aware of his own vigilance, Meifeng raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Afraid that I will plot against you?"

"No." Guan Meng showed a nonchalant look, but the unnatural smile on his lips gave him away.Although he felt that Xiao Chenghao was not a bad person, Fang Jin was right, after what happened with Wu Jun, he shouldn't take it lightly, not to mention that he didn't bring homemade chili water for self-defense this time.

"Cough...well, can you give me my wallet back now?"

Xiao Chenghao didn't force Guan Meng to stay, he just smiled and said, "You wait for me here for a while."

He directly opened the door and walked into the house, as if he wanted to tell the people standing outside - I will not close the door, you can come in anytime you want.

Guan Meng poked his head curiously and looked into the hall inside. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind and put it firmly on his shoulder, which made Guan Meng tremble all over in fright.

"Xiao Guan! Why are you here?" Lao Cai laughed heartily, regardless of whether Guan Meng answered or not, he pushed Guan Meng's back and led him into the house, "Today, a guest sent some fresh Give me the big lobster, come and cook a lobster feast with us!"

When Xiao Chenghao came down from the second floor, he found that Guan Meng was sitting in the living room with Lao Cai at this time. When Lao Cai saw Xiao Chenghao, he yelled loudly: "I ran into Xiaoguan at your door just now, why don't you Please come in and sit down?"

Xiao Chenghao didn't answer him, but turned his gaze to the foam box on the floor, "What is that?"

"Fresh Boston lobsters weigh six catties each. I have five of them here, and they are all alive. They are so strong that the three of us may not be able to finish them." Lao Cai naturally included Guan Meng.

Guan Meng's vigilance was shaken in front of the food, Xiao Chenghao pretended not to see his fiery eyes when staring at the pile of lobsters, and deliberately asked, "Can you still eat lobsters?"

Seeing those eyes blinking excitedly, Xiao Chenghao immediately had the answer.

Guan Meng was sitting in the living room with nothing to do. He glanced at Xiao Chenghao and Lao Cai who were busy in the kitchen from time to time. He always felt that it was not good for him to just sit and wait for food. He wanted to help when he ran into the kitchen. In the way, he drove him out of the living room again, turned on the PS4 for him to play, took out a box of chocolate cake from the refrigerator and put it in front of Guan Meng, then turned and walked back to the kitchen.

"You never liked chocolate flavored things, why did you suddenly buy chocolate cake?" Lao Cai was curious about this.

"On a whim."

"I believe you are a ghost."

Xiao Chenghao laughed noncommittally. He indeed bought the cake at a nearby dessert shop after he learned that Guan Meng was coming.

Lao Cai glanced at Guan Meng who was playing games in the living room, then turned around and asked Xiao Chenghao, "Who is he to you?"

Xiao Chenghao pondered for a while, and finally uttered two words: "Brother."

ACT14

Lao Cai, who was full of wine and food, burped, lazily spread out on the sofa and watched TV, Guan Meng helped Xiao Chenghao put the tableware into the kitchen together.

"Thank you, just put it in." Xiao Chenghao pointed to the sink next to him. He rolled up his sleeves, turned on the faucet and began to wash the dishes. Under the gray T-shirt, he could vaguely see the outline of the muscles of his arms and abdomen.

Guan Meng took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pretended to read the information, secretly pointed the camera at Xiao Chenghao's profile, and suddenly heard a "click" when he pressed the shutter.

He actually forgot to turn off the sound!

When Xiao Chenghao heard the sound and looked towards Guan Meng, Guan Meng wished he could hide under the table on the spot.

The person who was secretly photographed smiled naturally and generously, "If you want to photograph me, you can tell me directly, so that I can pose a little more handsomely."

Guan Meng felt very embarrassed, so he made up a lie: "I took a picture of your T-shirt, it's pretty nice, I plan to buy one online."

"Oh, like this." Xiao Chenghao didn't want to expose him, and the corner of his mouth was raised lightly inadvertently.

The needle of the wall clock on the wall pointed to the position of 36:[-], it was getting late.

Guan Meng hurriedly put away his phone, "I have to go back."

"How did you go back so late?"

"Take a taxi." Otherwise?

Xiao Chenghao put down a pile of tableware to be cleaned, wiped his hands with a towel, walked out of the living room and picked up a coat on the sofa and put it on, "I'll drive you and go out to buy something along the way."

"What about Boss Cai?"

Xiao Chenghao glanced at Lao Cai, who was on the sofa and focused on watching the game, "Don't pay attention to him."

Guan Meng followed Xiao Chenghao to the garage to pick up the car step by step. He opened the passenger door and just entered when Xiao Chenghao suddenly leaned over. Only to find that the other party was just helping him fasten his seat belt.

"I can do it myself."

Xiao Chenghao didn't seem to hear, and continued to fasten the seat belt for him, sat back in the driver's seat as if nothing had happened, and started the engine.

It was quiet along the way, neither of them spoke.

Guan Meng lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, he opened the photo album, and was about to send the "sneak shot" photo to Fang Jin, when his fingers stopped suddenly, and he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something.

"By the way, brother, what's your name?"

Xiao Chenghao looked ahead, "My friends around me call me Ah Hao."

"The mighty Hao?"

"It's Haoyue's Hao."

"Oh."

Xiao Chenghao thought that Guan Meng would ask his full name next, and he waited quietly, but his prediction always got worse than the result.

"Then I'll call you Brother Hao from now on." The heartless kid laughed really... How should I put it, he deserves a beating.

Xiao Chenghao forcibly resisted the urge to reach out and knock his head.

The heartless little guy quickly turned his attention to the puppy car decoration on the front of the car. It was a brown dachshund. The puppy's head was twice as big as its body. When it was driving, its planet-sized head kept shaking all the way. Guan Meng stretched out his hand and poked the puppy's head. Meng was amused by it, and played with it for a while.

Seeing that he was so interested in puppy car accessories, Xiao Chenghao said, "It's a gift from a friend, if you like it, take it."

Guan Meng leaned back on the chair again, "I'm just playing."

The car was parked downstairs of the rental house, Guan Meng unhurriedly unbuckled his seat belt, and was about to open the door to get out of the car when his elbow was suddenly grabbed by the person next to him.

Guan Meng was a little nervous for no reason, "What...what's wrong?"

I only heard Xiao Chenghao's "tsk", "You don't even want your wallet?" He handed the wallet that he had taken along before back to Guan Meng, "Forget it."

Guan Meng wrinkled his nose lightly. After he took the wallet, he immediately opened it to check. The photo in the hidden compartment was still there, and he was relieved a lot.

Xiao Chenghao watched Guan Meng's back as he walked into the residential building, and after the lights in his rental house came on, he took out his mobile phone and sent him a message.

— into the house?

Guan Meng replied "um" to him.

He put down his mobile phone and threw himself into the bed and rolled over twice. Suddenly, a hard object hit the side of his waist. Guan Meng immediately sat up, but he didn't find anything on the bed. He put his hand into the pocket of his clothes with a little doubt Inside, a big-headed dachshund came out.

Guan Meng looked at the puppy in his hand and smirked for a while.

A new message came from the phone, and it belonged to Xiao Chenghao, and the other party took the initiative to ask him for the WeChat number.

Guan Meng didn't reply right away, he quickly clicked on the WeChat page, carefully checked whether his circle of friends had sent any embarrassing things, and after confirming that everything was safe, he decided to hand over his WeChat account.

Xiao Chenghao received a prompt message that "the other party has passed your friend verification request". He put his phone back in his pocket, got out of the car and went to a nearby convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes. He stood alone at the door of the store and smoked. After exercising, he hasn't smoked for a long time. Today, for some reason, he suddenly thought about smoking.

The cold night wind blew on his face, he straightened his waist, and slowly let out a puff of smoke.

A handsome strange man walked up to him and asked with a smile, "Can I have a cigarette, please?"

Xiao Chenghao didn't think much, nodded, took out a cigarette from the box and gave it to him, and helped him light a fire by the way.

"I often come here to buy things, and this is the first time I see you today." The other party struck up a conversation with him.

"I don't live here." Xiao Chenghao replied flatly.

The man felt something similar to himself from Xiao Chenghao, and he took the initiative to invite him: "There is a bar with a good atmosphere nearby, why don't we go for a drink? I'll treat you."

"No, I'm rushing home."

The man did not give up and asked boldly: "Do you mind exchanging contact information with me?"

"That way my partner won't be happy."

After dismissing the person who approached him, Xiao Chenghao looked up at the window on the 7th floor. The light inside had been turned off. He threw the unfinished cigarette in his hand together with the cigarette case into the trash can, got in the car and started the engine. Leave the old residential area in the dark.

ACT15

Guan Meng didn't forget what day it was today. He got up early and changed his clothes, went downstairs to have a simple breakfast, bought two bouquets of white calla lilies at a nearby flower shop, and hailed a taxi to the tomb in the suburbs. garden.

Except for certain festivals, there are not many people who come to worship at ordinary times. Holding the bouquet in his hand, Guan Meng walked up the stone steps step by step. His sight swept across thousands of tombstones with ease. Find out where your parents are.

The stone monuments of his father Guan Lianyi and his mother Guo Ting are closely spaced.
