Tired Bird Knows Return

"Then when will it bloom?" Chen Yanqing sprinkled some water on the branches and leaves.

"You count how many leaves he has."

Chen Yanqing was suspicious, didn't ask any more questions, counted the slices with his index finger, "1,2,3, 14, 14... [-], [-] slices."

Duan Xiaoming hummed warmly, and then said, "It will take about 25 pieces to grow before it will bloom."

"What kind of rule is this?" Chen Yanqing slapped the longest leaf on the outside with disgust, "If you water you, you have to bloom, understand?"

The leaves swayed twice with the aftershocks, probably unconvinced, Duan Xiaoming smiled helplessly, put down the watering can in his hand, "Let's go, let's go back to the house."

"it is good."

"Ming Ming, I've taken my medicine."

As soon as they entered the room, Mama Duan came in with medicine and water. Chen Yanqing sat down on the low chair and watched Duan Xiaoming finish the medicine obediently. After Mama Duan went out, she asked him, "The medicine is very bitter. Bar?"

"Sweet," Duan Xiaoming replied, "It tastes like the white rabbit toffee."

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Duan Xiaoming came back and sat down opposite him, "I lied to you as a puppy." After finishing speaking, he poured him a cup of tea and said, "Enough of playing in the country?"

Chen Yanqing nodded very heavily, "I didn't play at all, I just changed to another bed to sleep," the voice stopped hastily at the end, Chen Yanqing remembered Fucheng discussing the bed with him, and then shook his head, "Well, It's okay, there is still more than a month of vacation, do you have any plans?"

"I'm working part-time."

"You work part-time?" Chen Yanqing craned his neck absurdly, "Duan Xiaoming, are you desperate?"

"No more," Duan Xiaoming explained with relief, "I work as a cashier in the archery club in the shopping mall, and I just collect money there. It's no different from my classes."

Chen Yanqing became dull again, "Archery club."

"Well, Fucheng will be a coach there for free during the summer vacation. I have nothing to do, so I will go to have fun."

"So you were discussing this matter when he came to see you that day?"

"That's right," Duan Xiaoming said, "We went to that club to discuss this matter. The girl at the front desk resigned, so I'll take over."

"Then he still goes to the countryside with my mother?"

"Maybe I also want to rest for a few days," Duan Xiaoming said casually, "When I went, the boss said that Fucheng had delayed with him for a while."

"then you……"

"I'm off today, I'm on shift."

Chen Yanqing seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to listen, his mind drifted away for a while, and then he heard Duan Xiaoming say, "Will you eat toffee?"

Coming out of Duan Xiaoming's house, Chen Yanqing had another bag of toffee in his hand. The loose candy he gave before was packed in a glass jar. Holding it in his hand, he walked past the bus stop without noticing it, until a displeased voice called him from the front, Chen Yanqing raised his head, and said, "Liu Cheng?"

"Yo, remember me?"

A few familiar faces followed behind him, Chen Yanqing looked back and forth, "You are going to college, are you still like conjoined twins?"

Liu Cheng held a cigarette in his hand, approached him, and spit all the smoke on his face, "It's weird, I usually don't meet you once in school, since Fucheng came , You can also meet them on the street.”

"What a coincidence," Chen Yanqing looked at him, "Actually, I rarely meet groups of hyenas on the road."

"Well, the tongue is pretty tough." Liu Cheng looked at the people around him, "Let's go, let's play together."

Before Chen Yanqing could utter the words of refusal, his neck was caught in the arms of two people, one on the left and one on the right. It was useless to struggle, and it was useless to talk too much. Liu Cheng threw down the cigarette butt and kicked it out with the soles of his feet. At that time, Chen Yanqing was not happy. The good premonition has already filled his throat, and the strange thing is that he has no fear, just like the time he went to look for him in the fourth class, it was the same, the resentment in his heart made him feel no fear.

Chen Yanqing thought about it later, the Chinese teacher said a digression in class before, I was never surprised by people's evil, but often surprised by their shamelessness.

The besieged fists and kicks landed on every part of his body that day, and he didn't even let himself make a sound of pain. The owner of a nearby shop passed by the alley, drove away the gang of hyenas, and asked him if he needed to call the police. Chen Yanqing said it didn't matter. I will go by myself.

With a stench of rust in his mouth, Chen Yanqing limped out of the alley, took a taxi to the police station, and the police took him to the hospital after understanding the situation. When he returned home, it was already dark and the house was empty. , Chen Yanqing took out an old almanac from his pocket that he bought on the way back, turned to today's date, and under the red bold number 14 it read: It is advisable to meet relatives and friends, avoid moving house

"Tch, is it accurate or not..."

The injury started to hurt at night, and he couldn't sleep. He got up and drank several glasses of water. He was going to report to Teacher Deng the next day, but Chen Yanqing called to ask for leave. Teacher Deng agreed, and Tang Ping's phone call came soon When he called back and asked him why he didn't go, Chen Yanqing lied casually, "My stomach hurts, I have diarrhea."

Tang Ping was silent for a while, not sure if she believed it or not, she just said, "The wallet is in the cabinet in my room, buy food by myself."

"I know mom."

Before hanging up the phone, Tang Ping also said, "It's over here early, I'll be back at the end of the month, and take care of myself."

"Well, hang up."

Chen Yanqing put the microphone back on the base of the landline, supported the TV with one hand, covered his stomach with the other hand, stretched out from the hem of his clothes, and rubbed it. The pain in the stomach is real, Chen Yanqing thought, but the way the pain is different, this is not the same. It's a lie...

He went back to his room and slept all afternoon. In the evening, he was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back. He got up, put on his clothes slowly and went downstairs. The door just opened. Fucheng passed by his door and went upstairs. Seeing him Came out, and stopped slowly.

"Aren't you going to a training class?"

"Didn't go," Chen Yanqing stood up straight involuntarily, closed the door after going out, and said while walking downstairs, "Leave me alone."

Fucheng choked him and watched him go downstairs.

After returning home, Liang Yue walked out of the room with a full stomach. Seeing him changing his shoes, she went to the kitchen. When she came out, she brought a bowl of soup, "Xiaocheng, today's seafood soup, do you want to try it?"

Fu Cheng didn't even look at it, he went straight to his room, Liang Yue followed behind him, and stood in the door frame before he closed the door, Fu Cheng quickly pulled the door back, "You are crazy!"

Liang Yue didn't pay much attention, and handed him the soup bowl, "Have some."

Snapped!

The bowl was swung to the wall, and the debris and soup scattered all over the floor. Fucheng reached out and held her arm and pushed her back a few steps, "Stop making soup for me, this is Yancheng, not Hong Kong, no one Drink soup all day long, understand?"

"Then, what do you want to eat, I will learn how to do it."

"Does it matter to you what I eat?" Fu Cheng looked at her impatiently, "I can eat whatever you want if you don't disturb me."

"I just think you are growing your body, besides you have started to work part-time, the body needs,"

"Liang Yue, do you think that if you treat me well, I can forget what you did, get along with you like a normal person, and even be so moved that I will call you mom in the future?"

"That was not what I meant,"

"Then what do you mean?" Fu Cheng said, "I will still return to Hong Kong after the JUPA exam. You can continue to live in this city with my dad, and we won't communicate in the future. Do you understand?"

Fucheng closed the door without waiting for her to reply, he couldn't see Liang Yue's red eye circles, but soon, Liang Yue's voice came in through the door——

"Mr. Tang downstairs just called you and said that Chen Yanqing didn't report to the training class today, and asked you to see what's going on with him."

When he was young, the door opened again, and Fu Cheng said, "From now on, I will put this kind of thing before nonsense."

When Chen Yanqing came back from buying some bread, he saw Fu Cheng standing on the steps by the door, leaning against the wall, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"What are you doing here?"

"Just bread?"

"What's wrong with the bread? It's better than instant noodles, isn't it?"

Fu Cheng came down from the steps, "I didn't eat, how about a meal?"

"The supermarket is not far away."

Before Chen Yanqing finished speaking, Fucheng took out the key and opened the door, and then walked in first. Chen Yanqing thought, this person came to scare him on purpose, and after he followed in, he stopped the person who was about to go in, " Give me back the key."

"Teacher Tang gave it to you, why give it back to you?" Fucheng not only refused to give it, but also took the bag from his hand, sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV, as if he had never left.

"..."

After coming back for a few days, there was finally a voice in the house. Chen Yanqing felt a dull pain in his waist again. Before Fucheng came to see him, he turned back to the kitchen and asked through a wall, "Eggs, do you want them?"

"What egg?"

"Poached eggs."

"can."

Fucheng looked at the people in the kitchen through the small window, "You don't want to go to the training class?"

"No." Chen Yanqing cracked the eggs into the pot, held the chopsticks in one hand, and rubbed his waist with the other hand, "I'll go tomorrow."

The oil and eggs made a sizzling sound, and he didn't care when he didn't hear Fucheng's reply. The phone rang twice, and Chen Yanqing was just about to answer it when he saw that Fucheng was already at the TV and picked up the microphone. He turned back , the egg coagulated into shape, turned over with chopsticks, and beat the second egg into it.

He didn't know when the phone hung up, but he only knew that this heartless Fucheng was so cheeky about eating and thought he fried eggs slowly.

The poached eggs were placed on a plate. After Chen Yanqing came out, he put the plate on the coffee table, and then endured the pain and sat down beside Fucheng, "Whose phone number?"

"Teacher Tang, who else can there be?"

"Oh, what did you say?"

"Ask if you will go to the training class tomorrow."

Chen Yanqing was speechless, thinking that showing off this would really require some psychological quality, otherwise with Tang Ping's temperament, he would have been wronged and cried.

Fucheng ate very quickly, a piece of bread, a soft-boiled poached egg, and a bottle of milk. After eating, Chen Yanqing still hadn't finished eating a piece of bread.

On the TV was the voice of the anchor of the focus interview. After Chen Yanqing finished eating a little bit, he looked over to the background sound. Fucheng was lying on his back on the sofa and fell asleep.

"Is it a pig?" Chen Yanqing whispered, "After eating the pig, you still turn around twice!"

No one responded, Chen Yanqing packed up the dinner plate, washed it, and went back to the room. From time to time, he went out with his pajamas and went straight to the bathroom. The wound medicine was wrapped in the pajamas. He turned on the shower and a warm light. After taking off your clean clothes, apply medicine to yourself in front of the mirror.

Liu Cheng's gang didn't kill them, but they kicked a few more kicks in retaliation and rubbed the wounds. Chen Yanqing hissed, but when he looked up, he saw scars in the mirror. I suddenly thought of Yossarian, and thought of those wounded soldiers.

This is the masculinity, Chen Yanqing thought with a lucky look.

click!

"what!"

Chen Yanqing shook violently, looking at Fucheng who suddenly opened the door and barged in——

"You are sick!!!"
