mild compromise

Ruo, is my classmate and friend when I was studying abroad. "

Lin Tianruo's expression became a little subtle when he heard Xiao Chenghao calling Guan Meng's name, "Are you familiar with him?"

"That goes without saying." Xiao Chenghao gave Guan Meng a smug look and smiled knowingly.

Lin Tianruo is a native Chinese in the United States. Since he grew up in an English environment, he always speaks Chinese with a strong foreign language accent. Every time he chats with Xiao Chenghao, he always switches freely. Xiao Chenghao has long been accustomed to the Chinese and English mode. Guan Meng and Lin Tianruo are not familiar with each other, so it is difficult to intervene. Sometimes when the other party speaks English, he can't understand it, so he has to bow his head and eat his own quietly.

He accidentally touched the water glass next to him with his elbow, and when Guan Meng realized it, the glass had fallen to the ground, and the glass shards were scattered everywhere.

The waiter next to him immediately came over to clean up. Guan Meng repeatedly apologized to the other party and wanted to bend down to help, but accidentally tore the tablecloth and knocked the whole plate of soup on the ground. Casting a slightly dissatisfied gaze here, Guan Meng wished he could hide under the table.

I don't know if it's Guan Mengduo, but when he raised his head, for a moment, his gaze intertwined with Lin Tianruo's, and there was a faint contempt in the other's eyes.

Lin Tianruo quickly looked away, and continued to talk to Xiao Chenghao. In order to accommodate Lin Tianruo, whenever Lin Tianruo unconsciously spoke English, Xiao Chenghao would automatically switch to authentic American English to pick up on him.

The mature appearance is set off by the expensive high-end suit, which complements each other even more. Xiao Chenghao's words and deeds reveal strong confidence and a hundred times calmness. This is what people call the upper class elite in society.

And what about myself?Guan Meng quietly lowered his head and glanced at himself, almost always wearing the same uniform of baseball uniform and jeans and canvas shoes, which was so incompatible with the people and environment around here, suddenly, Guan Meng felt that he and Xiao Chenghao were two people. It seems that there is a very long distance between them. This distance has been gradually widened since they separated nine years ago, and it has become farther and farther.

ACT26

After working in the gallery for a month, Guan Meng received his first salary today. To reward himself, he bought himself a high-end game laptop.

Guan Meng happily returned to his residence with his computer in his arms, only to find that the rental house had been patronized by a thief again. After the previous looting, Guan Meng had nothing to steal. The thief couldn’t find any valuables. He was so angry that he turned everything in the house into a mess.

Guan Meng was angry and hated when he thought that the burglar hadn't been caught last time, and this time he wanted to call the police again, but he had no choice but to stamp his feet and sigh.

Ugh……

The door of the residence was still open at this time, and there was a sound of footsteps approaching here.

"Tu Tut Tuk—" Someone knocked on the door a few times, Guan Meng looked up, Xiao Chenghao was standing at the door in surprise, holding a bag of things in his hand.

Earlier, Xiao Chenghao and his client went out for dinner. They just ate Japanese food. He knew that Guan Meng liked to eat sashimi, so he specially packed a copy for him and brought it here. When he came up, he saw this messy scene. Xiao Chenghao I guessed [-]% to [-]% in my heart, but decided to ask, "Mengmeng, what's going on?"

"The door was broken again." Guan Meng replied, picking up the clothes left on the ground one by one, "Fortunately, I don't have any valuables."

as expected.This is the second time in recent times.

Xiao Chenghao frowned, he put down the packed sashimi, and walked over to help Guan Meng clean it up.

"The law and order here is so bad, how do you live here?"

"I know too." Guan Meng pursed his lips lightly and shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, I didn't live in this area before. The place I lived in was pretty good. I've lived there for almost two years. At the end of last year, there The rent has risen too much, so I quit the lease. After looking at many houses, I searched for a long time before I found this one with convenient transportation and a slightly cheaper price.”

"You intend to live here forever?"

"Of course not. Let's see if there is no suitable residence. If you find me, I will move out quickly."

Guan Meng turned to look at Xiao Chenghao, and was about to ask him if he had an introduction of a cost-effective rental house. At this time, Xiao Chenghao was picking up a black backless skirt from the ground, looking at it seriously.

Guan Meng was startled, and quickly explained: "I used it during the live broadcast before, and I didn't wear it out."

For a moment, the image of Guan Meng wearing a backless skirt flashed in Xiao Chenghao's mind, Xiao Chenghao didn't ask anything, silently folded the skirt and put it beside Guan Meng's bed.

Suddenly, Xiao Chenghao caught a glimpse of a massager-like object lying beside the pillow, no, it was not similar, it was a massager, and it was electric.

Guan Meng noticed that Xiao Chenghao seemed to be staring at something thoughtfully. He followed Xiao Chenghao's gaze, only to realize that he forgot to put away his massage stick. This is really embarrassing!

Guan Meng wiped off his sweat, rushed over and pulled the quilt, covered the massage stick tightly, and then put on a fake smile, "Brother Cheng Hao, are you thirsty? I'll pour you something to drink .”

This action should not be too deliberate. It is not easy to guess the little guy's careful thinking. Xiao Chenghao couldn't help laughing in his heart, but he still cooperated with his performance and pretended that he didn't see anything.

"Mengmeng" Xiao Chenghao asked suddenly, "Do you want to come and live with me?"

On the weekend, Xiao Chenghao originally had something to do in the company, but he took the time out and drove to Guan Meng's residence to help him move things.

Guan Meng didn't have a lot of luggage. All the clothes added up to two boxes, and the remaining sundries were cleared out.

Xiao Chenghao left the bedroom opposite to Guan Meng, which is the largest room except the master bedroom.After everything was moved in, Xiao Chenghao said to Guan Meng: "You can move freely anywhere in the house, anyway, just treat it as your own residence."

Guan Meng was quite satisfied with his new bedroom, but he was puzzled by one thing. Guan Meng pointed to the bear sheet in front of him and asked Xiao Chenghao: "Why is the sheet like this?"

It might be a little too childish.

"Didn't you like bears the most before?" Xiao Chenghao said in a natural tone.

Guan Meng really wanted to refute, it was a long time ago, and since he was a resident, he didn't say it in the end.

"Usually Auntie will come over to cook and clean. If you want to eat, just tell Auntie, and she will make it for you." Xiao Chenghao handed a bunch of keys to Guan Meng, "Sometimes I am not at home on business trips , You keep the key, this is the key to the outer door, and this is your room."

"What about this one?" Guan Meng pointed to the last key.

"This is from my room, just in case, you can keep it."

The bunch of keys in his hand made Guan Meng suddenly have the illusion that he was the owner of the house, and his thin rosy lips pursed, secretly delighted.

After packing up, there was still some time before dinner, Guan Meng took a fragrant bubble bath in the bathroom, put on a new pajamas, jumped on the spacious and comfortable big bed for a while, and then lay down happily , rolled several times, picked up his squid pillow, looked at the ceiling, unconsciously appeared the appearance of Xiao Chenghao in his mind, and then smirked "giggle".

The dinner was ready, Xiao Chenghao knocked on the door and asked Guan Meng to go out for dinner, he stood at the door and waited for a while, but no one responded, after thinking about it, Xiao Chenghao quietly turned the doorknob and took a look into the room , and found that Guan Meng had already fallen asleep on the bed.

Xiao Chenghao walked lightly to Guan Meng's bed, covered him with the quilt, looking at the face that was sleeping peacefully, Xiao Chenghao's thoughts drifted a little.

Suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket rang, Xiao Chenghao was afraid of waking Guan Meng up, so he hung up the call without seeing the caller clearly.

After a few seconds, Lin Tianruo sent him a message.

--How not to answer the phone?

——It’s not convenient now

—Are you free later?Go out for a drink together.

——No, I have something to do tonight.

--Oh well

When he was about to put away his mobile phone, Xiao Chenghao suddenly stopped his movements again. After thinking for half a second, Xiao Chenghao turned on the camera and pressed the shutter on Guan Meng who was sleeping soundly on the bed. Then he turned around with great satisfaction, Turn off the lights and leave.

ACT27

On the third day after Guan Meng moved to Xiao Chenghao's residence, Xiao Chenghao went on a business trip on business.

Although his aunt took care of the daily meals, Xiao Chenghao still prepared a lot of food to fill the refrigerator to the brim.In addition to fresh food, there are also a lot of snacks in the locker in the living room, chocolate, shredded squid, potato chips, butcher shop...all Guan Meng's favorite things to eat.

Seemingly uneasy, Xiao Chenghao deliberately left a note to Guan Meng before going out, telling him: eat snacks in moderation and eat more healthy staple foods.

Guan Meng didn't get up until after noon. The breakfast on the dining table was already cold. He reheated the fish porridge and glutinous rice chicken in the microwave, and sat alone in the living room while eating and watching TV.

Today is a rest day. I heard that there is a new sci-fi movie released recently. It has a good reputation. Guan Meng wants to watch it, but he doesn’t like to go to the cinema alone. In the past, Fang Jin accompanied him, but since the last incident, There is more or less a gap in their relationship, and the two of them haven't had much contact recently.

Opening the phone's address book and scrolling all the way to the bottom, Guan Meng suddenly realized something. It turned out that he really didn't have any close friends except Fang Jin.

Sigh secretly, continue
