mild compromise

, your life revolves around him every day. "

Xiao Chenghao didn't deny it, he nodded with a smile, "Yes, after all, I haven't seen him for so many years, although he seems to have kept many things away from me, but I know he hasn't had a very good life these years , now it’s finally a chance to meet again, I want to spend more time by his side to accompany him, and make up for him.”

"Make up for it?" Lin Tianruo raised his eyebrows in confusion, "How do you say that you owe him? Please, it's not your fault. When the tragedy happened in his family, you were studying abroad. Then you knew For this matter, you have spent a lot of time and energy looking for him after returning to China, and you have done your best."

Inadvertently, Lin Tianruo glanced at the desktop, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a black photo frame next to the display screen, in which was a group photo of Xiao Chenghao and Guan Meng. The two people in the photo were still teenagers at the time. , with a youthful smile on his vigorous face.

Lin Tianruo picked up the photo frame and held it in front of him, "You have never had the habit of putting photos on your desk before, why did you suddenly put this?"

"Put it up if you want." Xiao Chenghao took the photo frame from Lin Tianruo's hand and put it back in its original position.

There is one thing that Xiao Chenghao has never told Lin Tianruo. In fact, this photo frame has always been there, but he used to put it in the drawer under the desk. Employee clients asked him about the other teenager in the photo, like where is he now?What are you doing?how are you?These problems will only make Xiao Chenghao feel more depressed, and slowly, they have become an unresolved concern for him for many years.But now it's different, Guan Meng has returned to him, and the photo frame with the group photo of the two has changed from Xiao Chenghao's heart knot to his show-off prop, he is eager to let everyone know that he is clever and clever The good-looking "brother".

"I don't see you framed our photo together, I'm a friend you've known for nearly ten years." Lin Tianruo snorted.

Xiao Chenghao smiled: "Then I'll get one next time."

"Next time." Lin Tianruo repeated the word with an emphasis, curled his lips slightly with a little bit of dissatisfaction, and then asked: "By the way, what did your brother do before?"

"Internet anchor."

"It turned out to be a small Internet celebrity." Lin Tianruo smiled. In his eyes, Internet celebrity is not a connotative word, and his words were obviously contemptuous.

Xiao Chenghao had to emphasize to him: "He is not an Internet celebrity, but an ordinary person."

Lin Tianruo suddenly became interested, and asked curiously: "Then why isn't he an anchor now? It's not easy to make money?"

"Because something happened." As for what it was, Xiao Chenghao felt that there was no need to deliberately bring it up, "Besides, being a network anchor is not as easy as you think, and there are many things to bear and face. It’s not easy, not everyone is born with a golden spoon in their mouth like you.”

This made Lin Tianruo a little unhappy, "I didn't say anything bad about him, and it's not my fault that he came from a good background."

"I didn't say it was your fault. Why are you so excited?" Xiao Chenghao smiled disapprovingly. He looked down at his watch, saw that the time was almost up, and stood up from his office chair. I’m going back, we’ll make an appointment another day.”

After leaving the company, Xiao Chenghao didn't go back to his residence right away. He drove a detour to the other side of the market to buy vegetables. Auntie asked for leave today to go back to his hometown, so he was naturally responsible for the dinner.

In the noisy vegetable market, Xiao Chenghao in a suit seemed out of tune with the surrounding environment, becoming the most eye-catching presence in the crowd.Seeing Xiao Chenghao's bright and neat attire, the stall owners took it for granted that he was classified as a rich man, thinking that he didn't understand the vegetable market and deliberately raised the price of vegetables. If you have money, you still have to spare no effort to cut down the price, and the price is lower than the normal price that people usually sell. The image is really far from his "overlord" personality.

Returning home with a bag of ingredients on the left and a bag on the right, Xiao Chenghao took off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa, rolled up his sleeves, put on a cooking apron, and began to prepare for today's dinner.

Washing pots, chopping vegetables, chopping chicken, and scraping fish scales, every process is done step by step and methodical. At first glance, you can tell that you are a person with rich cooking experience.

When Guan Meng woke up, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening. There was the sound of pots and pans colliding in the kitchen. He got out of bed, put on his slippers, walked out of the room, followed the smell of food floating in the air to the dining room, and saw the dining table. On the table is a table full of sumptuous meals, from right to left are coconut stewed black chicken soup, perilla prawns, caramelized pork ribs, stuffed tofu, stir-fried beef with green peppers and steamed crucian carp.

Xiao Chenghao came out of the kitchen with two bowls of steaming white rice, "Are you just waking up now? Come over and have dinner."

Looking at the delicious food in front of him, Guan Meng rubbed his sleepy eyes, pleasantly surprised, "Brother Cheng Hao, did you cook all of these?"

"Auntie asked for leave today. I didn't do it and who did it?" Xiao Chenghao took off his apron and hung it on the wall.

"You can cook so many dishes?! I thought you could only make dumplings."

Xiao Chenghao smiled and pulled out a chair and sat down, "When I was studying abroad, I lived alone, and I had to solve three meals a day by myself, so I was forced to learn how to cook."

Guan Meng picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his mouth. It tasted really good. He took another piece and put it in his mouth, "Brother Cheng Hao, since you can cook by yourself, why do you invite auntie?"

"I'm usually too busy at work, so I don't have time to do this by myself." Xiao Chenghao tapped the plate with his chopsticks, urging Guan Meng: "Concentrate on eating, don't talk so much."

"Oh."

Xiao Chenghao was not very hungry, and there were not many meals on the table, but he liked to watch Guan Meng eat. Guan Meng especially liked shrimp and ribs, so Xiao Chenghao changed the seats of these two dishes and directly In front of Guan Meng, the crucian carp Guan Meng touches the least. Xiao Chenghao knows that he has been like this since the past. He thinks there are too many fish bones, so he doesn't eat fish very much. However, the crucian carp is fresh and sweet, with high protein, which is especially suitable for people who are recovering from illness. To supplement nutrition, Xiao Chenghao brought an empty bowl, removed the thorns from the fish bit by bit, put it into the bowl, and pushed it in front of Guan Meng.

"Eat more fish," he said. "It's nutritious."

"Okay." Guan Meng bluntly enjoyed the fruits of Xiao Chenghao's labor, and stuffed a large spoonful of fish into his mouth with a spoon.

He ate in a hurry, and the edge of his mouth was covered with soy sauce. Xiao Chenghao took out a wet tissue and stretched out his hand to help him wipe his mouth. This action was quite natural. Only after seeing the astonished eyes cast on him, did he realize that his behavior seemed a little too intimate, but the action was already halfway through, and it felt a bit strange to continue or stop.

"I'll just do it myself." Guan Meng wanted to take the wet tissue, but for some reason he caught Xiao Chenghao's hand, and he immediately let go of it.

"Wipe it clean." Xiao Chenghao smiled, put down the wet towel calmly, picked up the chopsticks and continued to pick fishbone for him.

After the meal, Guan Meng helped to clean up the dining table. He walked into the kitchen with a pile of dishes, but saw Xiao Chenghao come out of the kitchen in a hurry, picked up the car keys on the table, and was about to go out.

"Where are you going?" Guan Meng asked curiously.

"I just found out that the dish soap is used up. You put the bowls and chopsticks in there and put them there. I'll wash them when I come back after buying the dish soap."

"I'll go with you." After being discharged from the hospital, Guan Meng stayed at home and hadn't gone out for a long time, so he felt a little bored holding back.

Xiao Chenghao, who was walking towards the door, stopped, "Go back to your room and change your clothes, I'll wait for you here."

Guan Meng nodded repeatedly, and rushed back into the room. He was a little impatient, and when he turned around, his feet slipped, and he almost forgot to fall down on the floor. Fortunately, he quickly supported the dining table next to him.

"Be careful." Xiao Chenghao reminded.

"Got it, I'm fine!"

Looking at the back of Houji who was running into the room, Xiao Chenghao smiled helplessly.

Originally, Xiao Chenghao only planned to go to the supermarket to buy a dish soap, but after walking around, he remembered that the paper towels at home were almost used up, and it was time to replace the electric toothbrush heads. After earnestly recommending it, I took a few more men's facial cleansers, and bought some snacks for Guan Meng......

After casually walking around in the supermarket, the shopping cart in front of me was almost full.

"Is there anything else you want to buy?" Xiao Chenghao asked Guan Meng.

"I have nothing to buy. Most of the things in this car are yours."

"There's your snacks, too."

"I just bought two packs of chips and a box of chocolates."

"Then why don't I put your snacks back." Xiao Chenghao deliberately joked with him, and wanted to take out the potato chips and chocolate.

"No!" Guan Meng immediately held his hands and refused to let him take them.

Suddenly, a flashing light flickered in front of their eyes, and the two of them took advantage of the situation to look over. At this time, a girl was picking up her mobile phone and pointing in the direction of Guan Meng and Xiao Chenghao.

They didn't know the girl at all. The other party wanted to take a sneak shot just now, but unexpectedly forgot to turn off the flash. The girl felt very embarrassed because her sneak shot was discovered.She went over to apologize to Guan Meng and Xiao Chenghao, and confessed to them truthfully that the other party
