mild compromise

, and patted him on the back, "I almost remember all the customers who have been to my store. I haven't seen you for many years. You are so handsome!"

Xiao Chenghao thanked him for his compliment, "I came to the store not long ago, and the clerk at that time said that you were flabbergasted, so it doesn't matter now?"

"It's okay, it's ready."

Guan Meng reminded with concern: "Uncle Da, don't do those heavy lifting jobs when you are old, you should pay attention."

After chatting with Guan Meng and Xiao Chenghao for a while, Uncle Da returned to the front desk to greet the guests.

There is a live broadcast of horse racing on the TV. Today, there are several first-level races that have attracted much attention in the racecourse. As a horse fan for many years, Uncle Da is discussing with several regular customers which horse to buy.

"Of course it is "Magic Million". Didn't you see the result of the lottery?It has drawn Gate No. 3, and the advantage of exiting the gate is obvious! "

"No. 2's "Space Poet" is also pretty good. This time I ran a 1200-meter mud track. The mud track is its strong point. I like it. "

"I choose "Silver Moon Hurricane", it is the undisputed king of sprint, and it almost wins every run. "

……

A few people talked to each other, and Uncle Da had a sudden whim, and turned to Xiao Chenghao and asked, "Have you ever bought a horse?"

"I don't bet on horses, but I have a little research on horse racing. Uncle Da, how about I recommend one for you?"

Xiao Chenghao took the horse scripture in Uncle Da's hand, and circled it with a pen.

"Heart of a Lion"?how to say? "

"A horse's success or failure is actually determined by many factors. The jockey and trainer are very important. The jockey and trainer of this horse are veterans with many years of experience. Their past achievements are obvious to all. In addition, The bloodline of the horse itself, the female line of "Lion Heart" is "Haidu" and the male line is "Astronomy", and the male line of "Astronomy" is the previous generation of European stallion king "Saddler Well". Not to mention the competition results of these parents and grandparents when they were in the field, the key point is that their breeding performance after retirement is very outstanding, and their descendants have won many first-level championships.Of course, this is just a recommendation. This horse has a high chance of winning, but not [-]%. After all, the horses participating in this competition are all very strong. "

"With the analysis of so many people, yours sounds more reliable, so I will choose your horse." Uncle Da immediately called to place a bet.

Guan Meng touched Xiao Chenghao lightly, "How do you know so clearly?"

"Its owner is me." Xiao Chenghao smiled and winked at him.

"Then how about I place a bet and buy one too!"

"Others can gamble, but you can't."

Guan Meng made a face at him.

On the TV, all the horses were ready to enter the gate. With the sound of the horn, the race began immediately. After exiting the gate, all the horses rushed forward. As the race progressed, when the race was halfway through, "Lion Heart", which had been in the middle position, broke through the encirclement in an instant, surpassing the horses around them one by one, and finally went hand in hand with "Space Poet".

The horse racing commentator described the fierce battle between the two horses in an excited tone.

Count down 400 meters, 300 meters, and 200 meters...

Just as they were about to cross the finish line, an unexpected scene happened. Somehow, the jockeys straddling their horses started fighting in full view. The jockey of the "Space Poet" held the whip in his hand I whipped the jockey of "Lion Heart" hard, and the jockey of "Lion Heart" was furious, and also whipped the opponent back with the whip, and the two whipped each other with the whip and rushed together cross the finish line.

"Fuck, what the hell is going on with these two?"

Several viewers sitting in front of the TV looked stunned, Guan Meng took a sneak peek at Xiao Chenghao, and asked curiously, "What's going on?"

"..." Xiao Chenghao couldn't explain it in words.

The results of the competition were soon announced on the big screen. "Space Poet" finally won the first place in the competition with a distance of one neck, and "Lion Heart" only ranked second.

"Will the results of such a competition be cancelled?" Guan Meng asked.

"Cancellation is unlikely." Xiao Chenghao said, "However, the two jockeys will definitely be suspended by the Jockey Club for a period of time. Those two have been at odds before, who would have thought that they would fight directly in the race this time. "

Guan Meng quietly leaned into Xiao Chenghao's ear, and smiled gloatingly: "You caused Uncle Da to lose a lot of money."

"Betting on horses is inherently risky, and no one can tell the result until the last moment."

"Brother Cheng Hao, don't you run a company? Why do you still run a racecourse?"

This was also an accident, Xiao Chenghao told Guan Meng that he had made a little money abroad, and by chance, he came into contact with horse racing, and bought a thoroughbred horse with the mentality of playing. Unexpectedly, that horse won a first-level race for him, which made Xiao Chenghao a lot of money. Later, he continued to invest the money he earned, and became a horse owner in a side job.

"Then you are really doing well." Guan Meng teased.

"It's meaningless to earn more without you here."

Xiao Chenghao spoke the true monologue in his heart in a casual tone, but he didn't know that Guan Meng next to him had already heard his ears red.

"Fruit and eggs are on the top here, and there are instant dumplings and pizza in the refrigerated compartment below. In addition, chicken wings, steak and pork chops are prepared, and can be eaten directly in the microwave oven. The shelf life of milk is seven days. Be sure to drink it before drinking. You have to check the date clearly, if it expires, don't drink it, just throw it away, do you understand?"

Xiao Chenghao told Guan Meng like a parent telling a child that the aunt hired by the family recently resigned, and he was on a business trip tomorrow, so he was not at ease leaving Guan Meng at home alone. He prepared food for a whole week.

"I know, I am a man of my age, and I will take care of myself."

"Really?" Xiao Chenghao didn't want to make fun of Guan Meng, but after seeing Guan Meng's cooking skills, he couldn't believe it.

"Why don't you just buy a box of instant noodles and come back?"

"No instant noodles." Xiao Chenghao was about to knock on his forehead again, Guan Meng hurriedly covered the top of his head and took a few steps back.

"If you don't want to cook by yourself, you can also order takeaway. Later, I will recommend some hygienic restaurants opened by acquaintances. Don't order other messy things. The ingredients are greasy and stale, and eating them will damage your body."

Xiao Chenghao returned to the room, squatted in front of the suitcase to pack his things, Guan Meng followed, threw himself on his back, put his arms around his neck, bit his ear mischievously, and smiled. Q: "How long will you be traveling this time?"

"This time, I flew domestically. I went to the other side of Xi'an, and I will be back in about ten days." Xiao Chenghao stood up from the ground with Guan Meng on his back, turned around, and threw him into the big bed in front of him. And then lay down,

Xiao Chenghao put his nose close to Guan Meng's hair, and inhaled the scent of shampoo left on his hair.

"Remember to have regular meals three times a day." Xiao Chenghao pecked his lips.

"Don't stay up late at night." Then she kissed him lightly on the chin.

"Peaches must not be touched, no matter what, you know?"

Xiao Chenghao's lips fell on his neck. Before he had time to clean his beard these two days, blue stubble began to grow on his face, which made Guan Meng feel a little itchy. He wanted to push him away, but Xiao Chenghao Unwilling, she bit down on his neck in a tricky manner, then sucked and licked lightly on the fair skin until a faint light red mark was formed, and she was satisfied.

In the past few days when Xiao Chenghao was away, Guan Meng’s life was as usual, he went to work in the gallery during the day, and in the evening he went home after get off work to order a takeaway, or he took out the food that Xiao Chenghao had prepared for himself from the refrigerator, and warmed it up. Simple dinner, watching TV or playing games until after ten o'clock, at this time Xiao Chenghao has basically finished his work and returned to the hotel. He went to sleep before ending the call.

Guan Meng went to take a shower just before going to bed. The water heater seemed broken for some reason. He fiddled with it several times, but it still couldn’t heat it up. There was nothing wrong with it. He simply took a cold shower, but he couldn’t take it halfway through. , shivering from the cold, hastily turned off the shower, and ran back to bed shivering.

When he woke up the next day, Guan Meng felt that his throat was a bit dry and swollen, and his nose was blocked and his breathing was not smooth. It was a sign of a cold. He always had this kind of cold two or three times a year, and he didn't take it seriously.

When he got home from get off work, Guan Meng felt a little cold all over. He was very tired and sleepy, and his appetite was not very good. He didn't want to eat, so he went back to bed and lay down after drinking some warm milk.

Not long after closing his eyes, the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang. It was Xiao Chenghao's call. Guan Meng was almost exhausted at the time, but he still struggled to get out of bed and reached out to take the mobile phone.

"Have you had dinner, honey?"

"Just had it." To be precise, he only drank a glass of milk.

"What are you doing now?"

"In bed, ready to go to bed, a little tired today."

Xiao Chenghao heard that his voice was different from usual, with a strong nasal voice, "Mengmeng, do you have a cold?"

"Well, a little bit."

"Have you taken any medicine?"

"No, it's just a common cold, and you don't need to take medicine." Guan Meng tried his best to pretend to speak in a relaxed and natural tone, "I usually drink more water and go to bed earlier
