young and wanton

The food was delivered in half an hour.

Xiao Zhichen ordered several home-cooked dishes at a nearby restaurant, and he divided half of each dish for his mother to keep, and the other half was eaten by himself.

Xiao's mother vaguely heard the movement outside in her sleep. When she woke up, she was usually alone at home, and there were no pets at home. How could there be a sound?

She slowly sat up straight and listened carefully to make sure she hadn't heard wrong.She had guessed something, stood up with a smile and walked out.

Xiao's mother pushed open the door of the studio and walked to the living room. The voice came from the kitchen, and there was still food on the dining table beside her.With a chuckle, she called softly:

"Xiaochen, you're back!"

Xiao Zhichen was washing dishes in the kitchen, when he heard the voice, he turned his head and smiled at Xiao Ma, and said, "Yes. Are you awake?"

"kindness."

Xiao Zhichen came out, wiped his hands with a towel, and said, "I ordered takeaway, I'll warm it up for you before you eat."

"Okay!" Xiao's mother sat down at the dining table seriously, and said that besides having breakfast in the morning, she had been drawing for a whole day, and now she suddenly felt a severe stomachache.

After Xiao Zhichen heated up the food, he put it in front of Xiao's mother, sat down opposite her, and watched Xiao's mother eat with his chin propped up.

A very elegant woman eats food but devours it voraciously. Not to mention he also knows that during his absence, his mother must not have eaten properly.

"Don't you cook when I'm not at home?" Xiao Zhichen asked.

"You and your father are not at home, so I can make do with it alone." Mother Xiao said with a smile while eating.

Xiao Zhichen's smile was completely inherited from his mother, her smile made Xiao Zhichen unable to get angry even if he wanted to.

Xiao Zhichen had nothing to do with her, and he didn't continue this topic.He took out his phone and clicked on WeChat.

I happened to see an unread message from Wang Zilong a few minutes ago.

You Taki: Send me your location.

"..." This guy has nothing to do with his position?The corner of Xiao Zhichen's mouth twitched subconsciously, without thinking too much, he sent a location.

Xiao's mother happened to notice Xiao Zhichen's slightly curved smile, she paused, her son seemed to be a little different.

She put down the bowls and chopsticks, imitated Xiao Zhichen, propped her chin, and stared at him for a while.

Over there, Wang Zilong didn't come back, Xiao Zhichen put down his phone just in time to see his mother staring at him.

"..." He smiled at his mother, "what's the matter?"

Xiao's mother blinked and said meaningfully: "My son, it seems to be very nourishing."

"..." The nourishment of love?

"Are you in love?" Mother Xiao asked again.

"..." Xiao Zhichen was silent for a while without answering.

"Oh." Xiao's mother didn't continue to ask, she lowered her head and continued to eat her dinner.

Xiao Zhichen chuckled, and asked helplessly, "Oh, what do you mean?"

Xiao's mother took a bite of her meal and replied seriously: "You will naturally tell me when you want to talk."

Yes, since he was a child, his mother seldom interfered with his affairs, and gave him enough personal space. He had to learn to make decisions on many things by himself.

Xiao Zhichen has long been used to this kind of life between his mother and him. Maybe this way of getting along with others is too cruel and indifferent to others, but it is also an important factor that affects his character, and it also makes him look different compared to his peers. Said to be more mature and independent.

After dinner, Xiao Zhichen went back to his room.

He has a special study room for homework and reading, so there are not many things in the room, and there is a small balcony facing south.

Xiao Zhichen's room was very clean, in a simple European style.He was not at home during this time, and the room that should have been covered with a lot of dust was surprisingly clean. It could be seen that his mother should come in and clean it frequently, because everything was exactly the same as before he left, and it was placed in the original place. s position.

There was a book on the bedside table, Xiao Zhichen went over to pick it up to have a look, there was a mark on the lower right corner of the book that he had folded when he read it before.

In a daze, Xiao Zhichen felt as if he had returned to the summer of last year.

The sun outside the window was extremely hot that day, falling on the floor of his room and hitting his feet, it was a little hot.He sat alone in this room, thought a lot, and finally decided resolutely to go to a distant city to start again.

Not escaping, not being afraid, just simply wanting to leave.But he will come back after all, because this is his root, his home, people and things he is familiar with...

No matter how beautiful the scenery there is, it can only be a past with good memories in his memory.

Xiao Zhichen put the book back to its original place, walked to the balcony, and opened the sliding door on the balcony. There is heating in the house. At this moment, he was only wearing a thin sweater. It almost penetrated into his skin and solidified his whole body.

He shivered a bit, but went out anyway.

He propped his hands on the railing of the European-style balcony, and looked up at the night sky. Compared with the night view of Xicheng, the night view of the capital was drowsy, with no moon, no stars, and no temperature at all.

He suddenly missed the person who was thousands of miles away.

Prince Taki, I wonder what he is doing?Did you miss him, at least he did.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhichen's biological clock woke him up on time.Generally, if it is not bad weather, Xiao Zhichen will still insist on running every morning.

He simply tidied himself up and went out.Mom's room was right next to his room, and he didn't bother when there was no movement in it when passing by.

There are not many people in the community in the morning, most of them are older grandparents who wake up for morning exercises. They usually wear uniform clothes, do Tai Chi around the open space of the community square, or sit on the lounge chairs next to them and chat Take a break, or take the family pet for a walk.

In the past, Xiao Zhichen would meet them when he ran in the morning, so they were also familiar with Xiao Zhichen.

Along the way, I met many grandparents I knew, and they were quite happy to see him.

"Xiaochen, it's been a long time since I saw you come out for morning exercise."

"Are you too busy studying?"

"Children nowadays, going to school is too hard, you should pay attention to rest."

The grandparents surrounded him for a long time. For these grandparents, most of them have lost the concept of time. It seems that he just disappeared for a while, but in fact it has been more than half a year. He nodded with a smile.

After the morning exercise, Xiao Zhichen stopped by the nearby supermarket. After all, there was only one cucumber left in the refrigerator at home.Originally, he was going to go shopping in the supermarket yesterday, but he was really tired after the whole day yesterday, so he postponed it to the next day.

It was rare for Xiao Zhichen to catch up with the morning market. At his age, he should be under the covers in such a cold day. It was already unbelievable to show up here early in the morning, so when he was in the vegetable section When wandering around, I attracted a lot of surprised eyes from the grocery shopping aunts.

Good children really belong to someone else's family.

In fact, these are things that Xiao Zhichen is used to. He used to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables and cook for himself when he was at home on weekends, but it was only occasionally. After all, he spent most of his time studying.

Xiao Zhichen bought ingredients for the day at the supermarket to cook at home, he carried the things back to the community, and when he swiped his card to enter, he happened to hear the security guard at the gate talking to someone else.

"Sorry, we have regulations here. If you are not the owner here, I can't let you in. Otherwise, you can ask your friend to come out and pick it up."

"My phone is out of battery, so I can't make calls."

At the same time as an impatient voice sounded, Xiao Zhichen glanced into the guard room, and saw a tall and thin figure standing there with one hand propped on the table, slightly bent.

Seeing that figure, Xiao Zhichen's heart sank for a moment, and he even wondered if he was wrong.

Xiao Zhichen walked towards the guard room.

"Prince Taki!"

Hearing a familiar voice calling his name, Wang Zilong turned around and met Xiao Zhichen's gaze, but his face was a little pale and frightening.

"Xiao Xiao? Do you know him?" The security guard at the gate asked him when he saw him.

"Well, he's my friend." Xiao Zhichen looked at Wang Zilong, both surprised and surprised, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"..." Wang Zilong didn't speak, just stared at him.

Only then did Xiao Zhichen suddenly realize why Wang Zilong asked him to locate him last night.It turned out that he planned to come over last night.

Wang Zilong, who was still in Xicheng last night, arrived in Beijing this morning. Needless to say, he must have taken the high-speed train for more than six hours.

What a luxury, he came back by express.

Xiao Zhichen saw that Wang Zilong's expression was not very good-looking, he knew that Wang Zilong was suffering from motion sickness, so he didn't say much, he signed at the gate guard and led Wang Zilong in.

Throughout the whole process, Wang Zilong just followed behind him step by step, with a dark face and did not speak, Xiao Zhichen just thought that he was uncomfortable due to motion sickness.

At the door of the house, Xiao Zhichen unlocked the fingerprint lock, and made way for Wang Zilong to go in. Wang Zilong gave him a strange look, and then walked in slowly.

After Wang Zilong entered, Xiao Zhichen closed the door.

"Have you had breakfast?" Xiao Zhichen said while putting aside the things he just bought, and turned around to find a pair of guest slippers for Wang Zilong. Just as he bent down, Wang Zilong suddenly stepped forward and grabbed him. Xiao Zhichen's neckline.

Xiao Zhichen, who didn't have time to react, was grabbed directly by Wang Zilong, stunned for a moment, a little bewildered, the next second, Wang Zilong raised his other hand and punched him with a fist.

"..." Xiao Zhichen tilted his head slightly, and dodged it.

But Wang Zilong still refused to let go, without saying a word, he grabbed Xiao Zhichen by the collar and pressed Xiao Zhichen against the door behind him.

"Why are you crazy?" Xiao Zhichen was also a little annoyed, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Fight back, aren't you good at hitting?" Wang Zilong's face was pale but angry, he sneered, raised his other hand and punched Xiao Zhichen's shoulder, and shouted viciously: "Ye Tianyu !"
