Don't throw the little beggar you picked up

When Qin Tang got the water and came out of the kitchen, his mother was changing slippers at the entrance.

"Are you at home? I rang the doorbell for a long time and no one answered. I thought you were not at home."

Qin Tang was startled and subconsciously glanced at the guest room first: "Why are you here?"

He went over to take the thermos from Qin's mother, and the two walked to the living room together. Qin's mother scolded: "Didn't you say you were sick, I hurriedly made chicken soup and brought it to you."

Qin Tang opened the lid of the thermos bucket on the long table. The chicken soup was rich and appetizing. After a sip, he gave his mother a thumbs up: "Absolutely."

Qin's mother smiled very much like Qin Tang, stretched out her hand and touched his forehead, and after confirming that he didn't have a fever, she was relieved, and sighed: "You insist on living outside by yourself, now that you are sick, there is no one Take care, I see you, hurry up and find a girlfriend and get married early."

Qin Tang has been listening to these words since he graduated, and his ears are calloused. He used to laugh and play Tai Chi with his parents, but today's situation is a bit special. People are coaxed away.

Absent-minded and perfunctory: "To tell you the truth, I don't like women."

Qin's mother's well-maintained face was blank for a few seconds, and she didn't know how to react to her son's sudden coming out of the closet in front of her.

After Qin Tang finished speaking, he regretted it, and when he was about to explain again, his mother asked cautiously: "Then, can you bring a boyfriend back for the Chinese New Year?"

"No." Qin Tang resolutely refused with a black face, and pushed his mother's shoulders towards the door, "You, go back and brainwash daddy first, or I will really take someone back before that time, his heart can Can you bear it?"

"Oh, don't push me. I finally came here. Do I need to clean up your house? You don't have time to go to work all day."

Qin Tang's heart tightened, thinking about the one lying in the guest room, his back went numb: "No need."

"That's fine, I'm leaving, no matter you lied to me or it's true, mother will support you as long as it's your choice, and I'll take care of your father's work." Qin's mother stood at the door and waved her hand to ask Qin Tang not to send him off. "You remember to drink the chicken soup, drink it while it's hot."

"Okay, slow down on your way."

Leaning on the door frame to watch Qin's mother take the elevator downstairs, Qin Tang put one hand in his trouser pocket, recalling what his mother said just now, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

It was only a matter of time before he came out of the closet, but he never found the right time. Today, he used this kind of joking tone just to find out his fucking tone, and the answer he got was a bit unexpected.

The heat of the chicken soup rose in the air, Qin Tang took another bowl from the kitchen and poured half of it for Chu Mian in the guest room.

Cheerfully carrying the chicken soup to the door of the guest room, Qin Tang suddenly felt that something was wrong, why was he guilty?

Pushing open the door of the guest room, Chu Mian seemed to have fallen asleep again with her eyes closed, her long eyelashes cast a shadow, her cheeks were flushed due to the fever, Chu Mian who was asleep was much more obedient than when she was awake.

Qin Tang used to take chicken soup and fan the air that Chu Mian was breathing, and the colorless and odorless air began to be mixed with tempting smells.

Sure enough, after a while, Chu Mian's head moved slightly, his nose was like a mouse's sniffing, and the next second he woke up leisurely, meeting Qin Tang's smiling eyes.

"Sanbing, do you want chicken soup?"

Chu Mian froze for a moment, her eyes were sleepy, and remembering that she was in this stranger's house, her eyes immediately became sober and vigilant: "No."

It's just that the little eyes kept looking at the chicken soup bowl. He didn't eat enough this morning. He had been hungry for so long, so how could such a little food fill his stomach.

Qin Tang put down the bowl, sat on the chair and picked up his own bowl, blew on the hot air leisurely and took a sip, looking satisfied, then looked at the anxious Chu Mian and joked, "Why, I'm afraid I'll put rat poison in the soup, the medicine kill you?"

Chu Mian pursed her lips and said nothing.

Qin Tang continued, "Did I hit the mark? You're so timid, and you're still a child. Are you an adult?"

I don't know where this sentence touched Chu Mian's nerves. He glanced at Qin Tang angrily, picked up his bowl of chicken soup and drank it clean.

Qin Tang hooked the corners of his mouth and thought, "I'm hooked." He also said that he was not a child, so easy to deceive.

The effect of the chicken soup was very good, and Qin's mother put a lot of nourishing things in it. After drinking it, Chu Mian fell asleep again, and the fever completely subsided in the afternoon.

Although Qin Tang kindly picked him up, he still needed to ask some questions clearly, he didn't want to get himself into trouble because of a momentary softening of his heart.

He was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, holding Qin Ergou in his arms and following the orange fur: "Do you have an ID card?"

Chu Mian nodded.

Qin Tang: "Take it out and let me see."

Chu Mian: "No."

Chu Mian didn't look at him, the focus of her eyes was on the corner of the quilt at the end of the bed. The sheets and quilt were newly changed by Qin and Tang this morning, but they were still as soft and comfortable. He lay on it like a dream made of cotton candy. inside.

In fact, this man is probably a good person.

It's different from those homeless people who want to bully him in the overpass hole.

He saved him, gave him food, and didn't scold him for soiling his clothes and bed.

Qin Tang didn't know that he was "probably a good person" in Chu Mian's heart, so he continued to ask, "Did you run away from home?"

Chu Mian shook her head and then nodded.

Qin Tang was confused, what does this mean?

"Forget it, you should have a good rest first, and then talk about it when you want to talk about it."

This child has not spoken more than two words to him so far, except for 'don't' or 'don't'.

Qin Tang carried Qin Ergou out and put his hand on the doorknob. Chu Mian clenched the sheet under her body with her fingers, gritted her teeth, and suddenly said hoarsely to Qin Tang's back: "Thank you."

A little awkward, but sincere.

Qin Tang still thought he heard it wrong, turned around a little surprised but looked at Chu Mian with a smile in his eyes and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."

Chu Mian pursed her lips and tilted her head to one side, looking out the window at him.
