mild compromise

It was almost one o'clock in the morning. He had just returned home from the airport not long ago. He was so tired that he didn't have time to change his clothes. He just lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and when he was about to fall asleep in a drowsy consciousness, Suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone, Xiao Chenghao was in a very bad mood at the time, he rudely said "Hello" to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Ah Hao, are you asleep?"

"How can I listen to your phone when I'm asleep?" Xiao Chenghao was a little impatient, "Why are you looking for me so late?"

"Do you know where Xiaoguan's family lives?"

When Lao Cai mentioned Guan Meng, Xiao Chenghao felt puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"

"He drank too much in the bar just now, and now he is unconscious, so I asked you where he lives, so that I can send him back."

Xiao Chenghao woke up completely, "Old Cai, which bar are you in? I'll go there right away."

"Aren't you still on a business trip?"

"I just came back tonight, don't talk so much, tell me the address quickly!"

Xiao Chenghao suddenly turned over and jumped out of bed, picked up the key on the counter, rushed to the entrance, changed his shoes as quickly as possible, and left the house.

ACT21

Xiao Chenghao drove to the bar overnight, saw Lao Cai rushed to him and asked his important person: "Where's Guan Meng?"

In the lounge, Xiao Chenghao finally saw Guan Meng who was drunk and lying on the sofa. Xiao Chenghao walked over to Guan Meng and called him a few times, but he didn't respond.

Xiao Chenghao nodded to Mu Yuan and Lao Cai next to him, "I'm causing you trouble, I'll send him back right away."

After finishing speaking, he helped Guan Meng up from the sofa. Lao Cai wanted to step forward to help, but Xiao Chenghao waved his hand and refused. I can handle it by myself. "

Taking Guan Meng out of the bar, Xiao Chenghao helped him into the back seat of his car and let him lie flat.

Suddenly, the feeling of nausea struck again, and Guan Meng, who had just lay down, immediately sat up straight again, opened his mouth and vomited out uncontrollably.Xiao Chenghao was caught off guard, and was sprayed all over by Guan Meng's vomit, and even the car seat next to him also suffered. Xiao Chenghao didn't say anything, and without even frowning, he simply put his He took off the new coat that he had only worn once, wiped off the dirt on Guan Meng's body with it, then rolled up the clothes and threw them to the side.

"Is it uncomfortable?" Xiao Chenghao patted Guan Meng's back lightly, trying to comfort him, but Guan Meng pushed him away and turned his head aside.

"I want to go back." Guan Meng reached out to the doorknob, opened the door to get out of the car, Xiao Chenghao pulled him back again.

"Mengmeng, I'll take you home."

"I don't want it!" Guan Meng kept shaking his head, "I don't want you to send it, and it's just where I live, not my home."

"Then go back to my house, okay?"

Guan Meng remained silent for a while, and then said, "I'm so thirsty, I want to drink water."

"You wait here for me for a while."

Xiao Chenghao left Guan Meng in the car. He got out of the car and went to the convenience store next door to buy a bottle of mineral water. When he came back and opened the car door again, he saw Guan Meng nestled in the corner of the back seat, hugging his knees, Weeping softly, shaking his shoulders.

"What's wrong? Mengmeng?" Xiao Chenghao got into the car, sat down next to Guan Meng, and asked softly, "What's going on?"

Guan Meng shook his head all the time, he didn't answer, he just kept crying, his nose flowed down from crying, Xiao Chenghao wiped the tears and snot off his face with his sleeve, "Did something unhappy happen to you? Tell me, okay?"

"I...my money is gone...what do I...what to do?"

Guan Meng took a breath and spoke intermittently. From his mouth, Xiao Chenghao heard him mention "Fang Jin", "the family is seriously ill", "borrowing money" and other words, Xiao Chenghao roughly understood what happened. Something happened, Guan Meng lent his money to a certain friend of his, but his friend disappeared after taking the money, now Guan Meng can’t find that friend, and he doesn’t know who to turn to Help, suddenly fell into a desperate and helpless situation.

Xiao Chenghao put his arms around his shoulders, hugged him into his arms, rubbed his hair lightly, and said in a thick and deep voice next to his ear: "I will help you find a solution for money matters, Let's go back first, shall we?"

"Go back... go back to where?"

"Go back to my house."

Xiao Chenghao took Guan Meng to his bed. He made a cup of honey water for Guan Meng to drink, then went into the bathroom to get a basin of hot water, brought it to the bedside, and wiped Guan Meng's face with a wet towel.

Xiao Chenghao reached out his hand to Guan Meng's chest, intending to unbutton his clothes, Guan Meng suddenly became vigilant, and firmly held Xiao Chenghao's hand to prevent him from touching him.

"Don't be afraid, Mengmeng, I'm just helping you change your clothes." Xiao Chenghao said softly as if coaxing a child, "You see that your clothes are all dirty, shall we change them to new ones?"

Guan Meng didn't believe it, but still shook his head stubbornly, "No."

"Then I won't touch you, you can change it yourself, right?"

Guan Meng nodded reluctantly.

There was no pajamas suitable for Guan Meng at home, so Xiao Chenghao could only exchange him with his new pajamas. Although it didn't fit well, he could only make do with it.

Guan Meng turned his back and took off his clothes. When Xiao Chenghao handed him the changed pajamas, his movements suddenly stopped. With the bright light of the room, Xiao Chenghao clearly saw that there was a white cloth on the back of his white neck. Two shocking scars, the two scars intersected together, looked like an "x" shape, even though they had healed up, one could still tell from the uneven scars how serious the injury was at the beginning.

Xiao Chenghao felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He took a big step forward, moved close to Guan Meng's back, slowly raised his hands in the air, and lightly touched the two scars. Guan Meng suddenly struggled fiercely to pat him. Open Xiao Chenghao's hand.

"Don't touch my place." Guan Meng began to cry.

"Okay, I won't touch you." Xiao Chenghao helped him button up his pajamas, forcing himself to temporarily ignore the scar, "Do you feel better now? Do you still want to vomit?"

Guan Meng cried and shook his head.

This time, no matter what Xiao Chenghao asked him again, or how to coax him, he couldn't answer anything except crying and shaking his head.

Crying and crying, probably tired from crying, Guan Meng sat on the bed, leaning against the bed rail behind, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xiao Chenghao sat quietly by the bed, looking at the face in front of him that he had been thinking about for nine years, one second, two seconds... The wall clock on the wall was ticking.

Xiao Chenghao felt that he could no longer hold back, and he decided to put his thoughts into action.Xiao Chenghao leaned forward in front of Guan Meng, and placed a light kiss on the smooth forehead, then the eyelids, nose, cheeks, and finally rested on those soft lips.

"Xiao Chenghao..."

When he was in a daze, Guan Meng's shout made Xiao Chenghao's whole body tremble, and he was stunned.

Those big round black eyes reflected his own appearance, Xiao Chenghao looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"Xiao Chenghao" Guan Meng called out his name again, Xiao Chenghao was sure that he was not dreaming, he clearly felt the heartbeat of the left atrium was constantly amplifying.

Guan Meng opened his eyes slightly, he didn't look up at Xiao Chenghao, and said in a sleepy voice, "Do you not recognize me, or did you deliberately pretend that you didn't know me from the beginning, just to play me?"

For a full ten seconds, Xiao Chenghao's mind was in complete chaos, and he didn't react at all.

"No, that's not the case..."

Xiao Chenghao wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. The person in front of him suddenly plunged into his arms, and he didn't respond for a long time. It wasn't until Xiao Chenghao straightened his shoulders that he realized that Guan Meng had completely fell asleep.

Xiao Chenghao laid Guan Meng's body flat on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.The drowsiness that had been lingering in his mind had already dissipated, and Xiao Chenghao was destined not to be able to fall asleep that night.

He has been waiting by Guan Meng's side to accompany him, looking at that familiar sleeping face, Xiao Chenghao's mood has been difficult to calm down for a long time.

ACT22

From summer to winter, it has been half a year since Xiao Chenghao moved into Guan Lianyi's house.That was the first winter vacation he spent in Guan's house. As New Year's Eve was approaching, every household was preparing for the Spring Festival. Xiao Chenghao came back from finishing his work outside, and stood at the entrance and shivered.

Guan Meng, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, heard the sound of the door opening, immediately jumped off the sofa, ran to Xiao Chenghao, and asked impatiently, "Brother Chenghao, have you bought it yet?"

Xiao Chenghao nodded, took out a well-packed brand new comic book from his schoolbag, and handed it to Guan Meng, "The sales of this issue of comics are so good that I went to several bookstores and they said they were sold out. It’s been a long time, but fortunately I found it in the small grocery store in Rongshutou, and this is the last copy.”

"Thank you!" Guan Meng hugged the comic book and jumped up on the spot with joy.

Guo Ting, who was busy, heard the conversation between the two, poked her head out of the kitchen, and said to her son, "Don't bother Cheng Hao all the time, if you want to read comics, go out and buy them yourself."

Guan Meng wrinkled his nose and pursed his mouth lightly, "But Brother Cheng Hao just happened to be on the way when he went out."

"Where did you get in the way? The bookstores where you bought comic books are completely in two directions from where they are going, and they have to take a detour all the way to buy them for you."

Xiao Chenghao smiled and waved his hands, "Master, it's okay, it's not very far, anyway, I have to go out anyway, it's not short of those few steps."

"It would be great if our Mengmeng family was as considerate as you are."

Xiao Chenghao and Guan Meng looked at each other, the former
