weird

At the end of a hot meal, the toys that Zhuang Yan ordered from the mall arrived. Two deliverymen and a driver had to move them back and forth twice before they were finished.

Lin Ruoping followed the delivery man with her eyes from the time the goods were delivered, "Oh, Xiao Zhuang, you'd better let them move the things back, it's too expensive."

Zhuang Yan hugged a little monkey doll and threw it to Tingting, and laughed when he heard it, "It's okay, Auntie, this is a gift from me to the children, it doesn't cost much, don't worry."

As a result, Little Carrot held his hands behind his back and refused to take it. Zhuang Yan grabbed the monkey's tail and flicked it to try to tease him, but he turned his back directly.

Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and with a glance, he found that the other children were also standing upright, with their hands behind their backs, but their eyes were firmly fixed on the pile of toys, and they couldn't even pick them off, as if they could quench their thirst by looking at the plums.

He forced the doll into Tingting's arms: "What are you doing, baby? Don't you like Monkey King? Take it quickly."

Tingting pouted his lips, glanced quickly at Chu Chen, shook his head and returned the doll to Zhuang Yan.

"If I don't nod my head, they won't accept it." Chu Chen said quietly from the side.

"Then why don't you nod?" Zhuang Yan asked, "Didn't you also see it when you bought it?"

"I stopped you." Chu Chen said, "What name do you use to give these things? A gift of goodwill? Or a donation of mercy?"

Zhuang Yan was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Chu Chen curled his lower lip, but there was no smile on his face: "It's not interesting. It's funny, people like us pick up a lot of trash, and others don't even dare to touch things that are too new, because No one has ever sent it, so fear!"

"It's new and old!" Zhuang Yan suddenly felt angry: "What kind of people are you? What kind of nonsense!" He gave Chu Chen a hard look, waved to Lin Ruoping and said, "Auntie, don't Listen to these idiots, you let them play as they please, it's my first time here, and I won't even accept a meeting gift, it's too embarrassing for me!"

"It's really embarrassing." Lin Ruoping frowned, "You see, you are just a child, you..."

"I'll be 18 next year, so I don't want to pretend to be tender!" Zhuang Yan pushed and listened, and then pushed a few eager children, "Hurry up and play with it, I'm about to grow up, remember to give it to me." You little brother Shen, keep one."

More than a dozen little devils looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces fluctuating one by one.

"You..." Chu Chen moved his lips, and before he could finish speaking, Zhuang Yan stuffed half of an unfinished mooncake into his mouth.

"I'm telling you, I want to smack someone now, so you better shut up now!" Zhuang Yan, like a monkey jumping up and down, made an international gesture at him, "Why, you look down on yourself, why don't you Let me think highly of you! I regard you as a friend. Today I come to your house as a guest. I feel sorry for coming here empty-handed. I know that there are many people in your family, so it’s okay to bring more gifts?"

Chu Chen: "..."

A certain person was aggressive, Chu Chen was dumbfounded and speechless.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Seeing him aggrieved, Zhuang Yan felt depressed for a second, and he patted the mooncake scum on his hands, "It's not bad at all, and my IQ is fucking lost."

"Hey, who likes airplanes? This airplane is remote-controlled. If the battery is gone, it's up to you brother Shen." He grabbed a few toys and began to share the pie: "Hey—this, the golden cudgel, who else likes Monkey King? Huh? This thing is stretchable, but it's so fucking amazing..."

Seeing that Lin Ruoping and Chu Chen were silent and didn't stop them, the little devils stopped being reserved, thanked them joyously, and ran away with the toys in their hands.Hearing dragging the monkey's tail, sitting alone on the bench and fiddled with it, with joy in his eyes.

After distributing the toys, Zhuang Yan clapped the ashes on his hands, turned around and saw Chu Chen looking at him with a green face, he paused, and handed him a small train that was intentionally left in his hand, "Or?"

……

The night just fell, and the evening wind hit the treetops in the corner of the courtyard, bringing the coolness of early October and the slight rustling of leaves.

The yard is crowded with people, so it looks lively. The warm-colored eaves lights are on outside the living room on the first floor. It is already seven o'clock in the evening. Lin Ruoping greets the little devils who are excited about their new toys to go back to the house to clean up and wash up. She solemnly glances at the time. It was time to go home, he greeted Lin Ruoping, but was dumbfounded before leaving.

Majestic is a little road-crazy and has a poor sense of direction. Usually, if you follow the map, you will go the wrong way.

He remembered that when he came here, he took two or three streets in seven turns and eight turns before arriving at the place. If he had to go out recklessly, he might not be able to get home until tomorrow morning. deal with him.

He put away his mobile phone and bumped into the central refrigerator of a cos ice sculpture, "Then what, give it to me, I can't find my way."

A central refrigerator focused on releasing air-conditioning, looked at the phone with folded arms, and remained motionless.

Yan Yan bit his lip for a while, then called to listen, "Tell your brother, can you let him take me home?"

Little Carrot nodded, hugged the monkey doll, raised his head and asked Chu Chen, "Brother Little Chen, Brother Xueqiu asked if you could take him home."

Chu Chen turned half of his eyes and said, "No."

Tingting turned his head and said, "He said he didn't."

Zhuang Yan wanted to laugh a little, he smirked and touched Ting Ting's head, "Tell him again, if he doesn't send me home, then I will kidnap you and take you home as a babysitter, you ask him Send it or not."

"What is kidnapping?" Ting Ting asked, "Can the nanny eat it?"

Zhuang Yan: "...Kidnapping means taking you away, and you will never see your brother again."

"But you can't find your way home, kidnapping me is useless." Ting Ting blinked.

I couldn't continue talking today, so Zhuang Yan gave a thumbs up, "You're so smart baby, I'm just kidding, that's all right, you go in, lest auntie find you."

Ting Ting glanced at him, and walked to the door step by step.

"Brother Xueqiu, tomorrow..." He scratched the door frame, uncertainly: "Are you still going to see the monkeys?"

"Go, go early in the morning, I will pick you up tomorrow." Zhuang Yan smiled, and after hearing this, he made a goodbye gesture and walked in with confidence.

Zhuang Yan also waved his hands twice, and when he turned his head, he saw a certain central refrigerator had moved away at some point, and was standing at the gate of the courtyard, squinting at him.

Chu Chen had one hand in his trouser pocket, and the slim-fit jeans made him look like a boy with long legs. From a distance, he could be considered a sunny handsome guy, but when he got closer, he saw the handsome guy's face and wanted to slump down on the ground.

He obviously had a face full of reluctance, but his movements were quite quick.Zhuang Yan couldn't help but wanted to laugh, but he didn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

He could actually understand why Chu Chen had a bad face.In the final analysis, it was still the idea of ​​self-esteem that caused trouble, and I couldn't keep my face.Just like every time he fails in an exam, he is not willing to listen to those top scholars preaching to him and resolving his doubts.

After all, the same knowledge point, taught by the same teacher, can be taught to you in reverse, and you may not understand it. Therefore, no matter how humble the attitude of the masters is, he still feels ashamed.

But what to do, he can't keep being awkward, he is quite willing to get along with Chu Chen.

The orphanage came out of a deserted concrete street. The night was not very dark, but it looked hideous because there were no living things nearby. The darkness in the distance was like a big unfathomable hole. The people walked side by side for a while, and solemnly glanced at the sign erected on the side of the road when turning the corner: Osmanthus Alley.

Exhaling solemnly, he felt that there was a need for steps, and took the initiative to find a step, and prayed that Chu Chen could come down along the way.

"The moon is a bit bright tonight." He had nothing to say, "Look, isn't it bright?"

Chu Chenwu walked by himself, seeing no reaction on his face.

"Ah, I almost forgot, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I guess the moon will be quite round tomorrow." He smirked, clapped his hands, and focused his eyes on Chu Chen.

This time the other party reacted, and Chu Chen gave him a sidelong glance as if he was mentally retarded.

Seeing his opponent's refusal to enter, Zhuang Yan was a little mad, so he simply stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of Chu Chen's clothes, and stood still.

The cotton fabric was a little slippery, and Majestic put a little effort on purpose.

Chu Chen didn't finish striding forward, he looked down at someone's troublesome hands, and when he looked up, he saw Zhuang Yan squinting at him and smiling.

"Little brother," Zhuang Yan shook his clothes, deliberately slowing down his voice, "Are you still angry?"

Chu Chen: "..."

The distance between the two was close, and with the similar height, he could clearly see the bright eyes of Zhuang Yan's smiling eyes.

He sighed softly, "I'm not angry, I just suddenly felt that what you said was right."

Zhuang Yan tilted his head when he heard the words, "Huh?"

"It's because I thought too much." Chu Chen rolled his eyes, "Probably, it's normal for normal friends to visit and bring a gift?"

Although the solemn gift is a little more.

"That's right." Zhuang Yan was delighted in his heart, and Chu Chen said that the two of them were friends.

Seeing Chu Shen's depressed face, comforting words rolled to his lips, he said, "Don't underestimate yourself, you are excellent, you are no worse than anyone else. And listen to them, you have to teach them to be confident! Who doesn't have two eyes Open your mouth, others don’t have one more leg than you, and none of you are left behind when you eat, drink, sleep, and sleep, right? They are all ordinary people, with ordinary mentality, doing ordinary things every day, living an ordinary life, In the end, an ordinary life ends peacefully."

"You are really optimistic." Chu Chen chuckled.

In fact, he was a little envious of Majesty, and felt that he was a free person who was entitled to be free, and possessed the confidence and firmness unique to this age.

"But you are right," he said, "we are indeed ordinary people, and ordinary people don't have so much to say, we should live a little easier."

As he said that, one hand grabbed the solemn hand, trying to push his hand away.Unexpectedly, Zhuang Yan let out an "oh", and happened to let go of his hand at this moment, and the two palms met in a certain moment, and they briefly but tightly pressed against each other.

Chu Chen's hand was very cold, and at the moment of touching, there was a little sweat from the palm of the solemn palm. The feeling of moistness in the palm was clear but fleeting. He quickly withdrew his hand and subconsciously took half a step back.

The two teenagers standing under the moonlight, the taller one lowered his head, and the shorter one raised his head. For a few seconds, both fell into a sluggish, suffocating silence permeated the similar space.

A gust of wind suddenly blew from the entrance of the street, messing up the shattered hair at the corners of the two people's foreheads. The hair was floating in the wind, and the coldness penetrated into the skin. After returning to his thoughts, he couldn't help pinching his palms, and the roots of his ears suddenly became warm.
