Catnip

Chapter 1

In July, the summer sky is like blue.

At noon, the scorching sun was shining on the doors and windows of the canteen, and occasionally a trace of heat from the outside would be scorching.

Gu Shui yawned, lying on the narrow counter, a trace of red marks appeared on his soft cheeks.

The guests who opened the door and came in were all old neighbors, so he joked.

"Is the kitten still sleeping?"

Gu Shui hummed, his voice was thin as a gossamer, it sounded funny and cute.

When he heard the bell at the door, he barely raised his head and helped the customer to check out. When he heard the cash register ringing, he fell on the counter again.

The neighbor shook his head helplessly. Gushui is good everywhere, but the problem of lethargy cannot be cured, and he can only inherit this small shop in the future.

But isn't it bad to inherit the commissary?

As the sole heir of the canteen, Gu Shui felt very happy!

Gu Shui, 13 years old, came to help grandma take care of the canteen just after the summer vacation, and let grandma go home to take a nap.

The canteen was opened in an old residential area, at least for more than ten years. Back then, Gu Shui's parents bought this small store for grandma. It had two rows of shelves and a freezer.

At that time, I thought, if I don’t want to see how much grandma earns, I just let grandma pass the time.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shui's parents passed away when he was eight years old, and now this store is supporting their grandparents and grandchildren.

Fortunately, the old neighbors often help out.

Just like now, it doesn't matter if Gu Shui sleeps at the counter, anyway, they also know where the things are and what the price is, and they can pay with a very modern QR code.

I heard that they are the first kiosk in the county to use QR codes!

It was Gu Shui who saw it from the Internet, it was very convenient.

The old neighbor also knew about Gu Shui's condition, he was lethargic, more lethargic than ordinary children.

Grandma Gu took him to many doctors and hospitals, but there was nothing he could do.

In 24 hours a day, he can sleep through [-], and sometimes he either falls asleep or gets sleepy, so sleepy that he can fall asleep holding something at any time.

Grandma Gu was very angry and funny on the way to see a doctor, knowing that Gu Shui is healthy, so she teased: "You, you shouldn't be called Gu Shui, you should be called Gu Xiaomao."

So, the name Gu Xiaomao was slowly called.

Everyone also thinks it is appropriate.

Not only because of Gu Shui's lethargy, but also because he is as obedient as a kitten, no one in the neighborhood doesn't like him.

Those eyes are even more moist, and when the eyes look at you, the heart will soften a little.

The bell at the door rang again, and Gu Shui raised his head again, waiting for the customer to come and pay the bill after they had finished their items.

But the customer at the door didn't go directly to get something, but walked up to him and said, "A bottle of soda."

When Huo Yao entered the door, he saw a furry head planted on the counter, sleeping soundly with his hands under it.

He had never seen such a shopkeeper.

Huo Yao said something again, and then his furry head slowly raised his head, and his eyes were slightly moist.

For such a small moment, Huo Yao, who has always been lawless, seemed to feel that he had done something heinous.

I'm sorry for disturbing the child's sleep?

Fortunately, this weird thought only lasted for a few seconds before he waved it to the back of his mind.

It was only when Gu Shui heard the voice that he realized that this was a strange guest.

He looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, about 1.8 meters tall, with hostility all over his body, and it is written all over his face that I am not easy to mess with.

Pretty handsome!

Gu Shui directly put a label in his heart.

Gu Shui rubbed his eyes, and his voice was unconsciously soft and sleepy: "What flavor of soda do you want? I have orange, cola, Sprite, and the mint flavor that is a specialty of Chongyu County."

"Mint flavor." Huo Yao said casually.

Gu Shui nodded, not as sleepy as before, and got off the stool to get soda from the freezer.

Seeing that he was going to get a drink, Huo Yao simply sat down and turned on the air conditioner, it was almost too hot outside.

When he came from the provincial capital, he didn't take much rest. He went directly to the house left by his grandparents. After entering, he found that there was no one living there.

Might as well stay in a hotel.

Huo Yao frowned, his face was very ugly.

A bottle of cold mint soda was placed in front of him, inadvertently suppressing Huo Yao's anger.

The ice-cold mint-flavored soda is in a transparent glass bottle, which is light green and looks particularly refreshing and beautiful.

Huo Yao thought it looked good, but he was a little disgusted with the pigment-stacked drink, and just wanted the child to change it, when he heard the child speak again.

"Don't worry, there's no pigment in it, it's delicious." Gu Shui explained, passing a straw by the way.

Gu Shui had already returned to the counter, and lay down again to the position just now, but his eyes were fixed on Huo Yao.

Huo Yao always felt that as soon as he left, the child in front of him would immediately fall asleep.

Thinking of this, the mint soda was unconsciously poured into his mouth.

The heart-warming coolness dispelled more than half of the summer heat, and there was a hint of sweetness and bitterness in the aftertaste.

Surprisingly delicious?

Seeing that his expression had improved a lot, Gu Shui smiled and said, "It's delicious."

As he spoke, Gu Shui yawned again, his slender eyelashes drooped slightly, and his cheeks bulged slightly due to lying on his stomach.

Huo Yao had an idea in his mind.

Very nice.

Wait, he thought, like a pervert.

Before finishing a bottle of soda, Grandma Gu Shui came.

Grandma Gu Shui is 63 this year. She is in good health and walks like flying. Gu Shui can't keep up with anything.

Of course, it is also possible that Gu Shui walked too slowly.

"The kitten hasn't slept yet." Grandma Gu Shui carried the iced mung bean soup and steamed vegetable rolls she made, "Come and eat."

Seeing Huo Yao, Grandma Gu said casually, "What a handsome young man."

Huo Yao has been praised by many people, but he has not been so straightforward.

But Grandma Gu didn't give him too much attention. Grandma Gu's attention was all on the child whom he called a kitten.

Gu Shui quickly took the mung bean soup and the vegetable rolls.

The grandparents and grandchildren did not eat at the counter, but sat at the small dining table in the canteen.

But the commissary has only so much space.

The tempting aroma reached Huo Yao's stomach, and he remembered that he hadn't eaten anything that day.

Forget it before, but now I can smell the steamed vegetable rolls stuffed with leek and egg, and the sweet mung bean soup. I'm already so hungry.

Life is hard, so hungry.

After Huo Yao paid, the bell at the entrance of the canteen rang again.

Gu Shui hugged the vegetable roll that was half the size of his face, and tried his best to destroy the food. He glanced at the back of the handsome guest, smiled and acted like a baby to his grandma: "It's delicious, grandma, your cooking is getting better and better."

"You can eat as long as you like. Think about what to eat for dinner. Grandma will make it for you." Grandma Gu said with a smile. Homework, don't be in a hurry to come and accompany grandma."

Gu Shui was happily drinking the vegetable rolls and mung bean soup.

Huo Yao beside the curb outside the door frowned.

He never imagined that it was so difficult to even get a taxi in this county. Huo Yao stood on the side of the road for almost 10 minutes, not to mention taxis, there were no cars of any kind.

After all, it is still a relatively remote old residential area at noon on a hot day.

Everyone is seriously taking a nap to escape the heat, and no one comes out to wander around.

When Huo Yao was about to give up, a sleepy voice came from behind, which sounded comfortable.

"Do you want to take a taxi?"

When Gu Shui went out, he ran into the guest just now.

Now that the two of them were standing, Gu Shui realized that this person was much taller than himself.

Obviously, he doesn't look very old, and he is taller than many adults.

Huo Yao turned around, and saw that the child was wearing a white T-shirt and green shorts. It was obviously summer, and his body was very refreshing.

It's not so hot to see him.

"Well, take a taxi."

Gu Shui yawned: "It's too hot at this time, and many taxis don't go out. Do you mind taking another car?"

Huo Yao thought that he had been standing in the sun for half an hour, and subconsciously nodded.

Seeing the other "cars" that Gu Shui was talking about, Huo Yao frowned even deeper.

To be honest, he minds.

This car is red, with three wheels, rechargeable, old man music.

The driver was shouted by a child from the mahjong playing room next door.

The old driver in sweatshirt was still saying, "Where is the baby going? I'll deliver it to you quickly. Old Zhangtou is still playing mahjong for me. His level is too bad, and he will definitely lose."

???

This car and the driver are sure to work! ?

Huo Yao suddenly felt that it was true what his father said about sending him to Chongyu County to eat and suffer.

It's really going to be hard.

Or this kind of suffering?

But the elderly driver was already helping him with the suitcase, so it was obvious that he had to hurry to deliver him, and then continue playing mahjong!

Gu Shui said seriously: "Hurry up and get in the car, Grandpa Wang drives very fast."

Huo Yao pointed to the old man Le who was about to start, with a look of disbelief: "How fast can this go?"

Gu Shui yawned more and more, but his tone was rarely lively: "Don't believe it, it's really fast."

Seeing that the child was serious about what he said, Huo Yao had no choice but to go forward. Anyway, this car is the only one that can take him to the hotel now.

Grit your teeth and sit down!

Just as Huo Yao was about to step into the big red old man's happy tricycle, he subconsciously helped the dozing child who was about to fall.

Before his hand touched the child's shoulder, he saw the child stand up straight by himself, and then rubbed his face to wake himself up.

The proficiency of the movements is astonishing.

Huo Yao looked at the old man Le who was running at full speed, and then at the child who could fall asleep standing up.

Where did he come from?

Huo Yao was thinking, would it be embarrassing if he returned to the provincial capital with his luggage now?

Before he could figure it out, Huo Yao's arm was pushed down by the soft palm.

Gu Shui urged: "Hurry up and get in the car, Grandpa Wang is still waiting to play mahjong."

After all, playing mahjong is really important.

Huo Yao took a deep breath, his tall body slipped into the fiery red old man's music, his long legs seemed a little aggrieved.

Forget it, he can bear it.

The old man is very happy.

Huo Yao raised his head and said to Gu Shui, "Thank you..."

Thank you didn't finish at all, because Huo Yao saw the child almost obsessively smelling the palm that just pushed him.

Gu Shui gently pushed the handsome guest, but he was stunned by an inexplicable fragrance, and he sniffed his palm with an instinctive reaction.

Gu Shui has never had this kind of experience before, he was a little confused for a while, subconsciously tilted his head to look at the handsome guest: "You smell so good, can you let me smell it again?"

Huo Yao:? ? ?

? ? ? ?

The child looks so well-behaved, but he is actually a hooligan in his heart?

Just as the upright Huo Yao was about to sternly refuse, the fiery red old man Le drove away at flying speed.

The elderly driver, Grandpa Wang, did not hear their conversation.

All he knew was that the passengers got on the bus!

His driver is going to show his real skills!

After all, mahjong is still waiting for him, mahjong is really important!

The author has something to say:

Huo Yao: Man, do boys have to protect themselves outside?

After a period of time.

Huo Yao: Forget it, don't protect me, my wife, I can.
