"Dad, Auntie, why are you here?" Zhou Lin was a little surprised.

Zhou Chengyu walked in and said: "Just passing by, I came up to see you. I was sick last night and couldn't take care of you in the hospital. It's rare for you to call home. I'm afraid there is something wrong with you, so I will come over with your aunt. .”

Zhou Lin let people into the room and said, "It's nothing, I just came back from a trip yesterday, so I'll let you guys know."

Knowing that his son had gone on a trip, Zhou Chengan agreed with this statement, and had no doubts about calling in the middle of the night to report his safety.

"That's good, just call us if you need anything."

Zhou Chengyu and Li Qing sat down on the sofa, and Zhou Lin poured them a glass of water.

"Is Yiyi okay?"

"I'm fine now, I just ate something unclean and vomited several times. The doctor said it's not serious, just take some medicine and I don't need to hang up the water."

"That's good."

The three of them sat down and finished talking about the only topic, Zhou Lin didn't speak, and Zhou Chengan started the "reserved topic" between his father and son.

"Do you have the habit of living outside? Go home and eat when you have nothing to do."

"Okay, I'm free to go."

Zhou Cheng'an asked without any ups and downs, but Zhou Lin's answers remained the same.

Just when there was nothing to say, the doorbell rang again.

Zhou Lin went to open the door, this time it was really Ding Yi.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Lin asked.

"The master said that the water pipe in the wall was cracked, and it would be troublesome to repair it. We have to knock on that wall, and it will definitely not be repaired today. The next construction may be a bit noisy. If you need to rest during the day, you can tell me in advance , Let me talk to the master and try to avoid this time." Ding Yi came down to talk to others about the situation, "Also, if there is any problem with the water and electricity on your side, I will ask the master to come down and have a look."

Zhou Lin shook his head, "I'm fine, thank you, the water and electricity are all fine here, I'll contact you when the wallpaper and floor are changed next time."

When the two of them were talking, Zhou Cheng'an heard the voice and took a look.

Only then did Ding Yi realize that there were two more people in his family.

"Then I'll go up first, if you need anything, contact me."

Zhou Lin nodded, watched the person leave, and then closed the door and went back to the living room.

Zhou Chengyu asked: "Is it your friend? Why don't people come in and have a sit?"

"It's the upstairs neighbor." Zhou Lin didn't want to elaborate on Ding Yi's intentions with his father, "Dad, auntie, you guys should go back after lunch here."

There is a supermarket in the community, so it is not a problem to buy some ingredients and make two or three dishes.

Zhou Chengyu hadn't spoken yet, and Li Qing, who was sitting next to him, hadn't opened his mouth, and said at this moment: "No need, I have to go back to cook for Yiyi at noon, she is alone at home now, and no one cooks for her at noon. "

Zhou Lin nodded, without too much persuasion, "That's fine."

Having said that, Zhou Cheng'an and Li Qing stood up.

"Then we'll go back first, and you will have a good rest at home for two days after you come back from your trip."

Zhou Lin sent the two of them out of the house.

Back in the living room, Zhou Lin just sat there for a while.

In his memory, his father, Zhou Cheng'an, has always been a vague image. His mother died when he was ten years old. A year later, his father remarried and married his current wife, Li Qing. She was pregnant when she was born, and her daughter was only three months old when she remarried, so she and Zhou Linzhou became a family.

Li Qing's stepmother is definitely not bad, but she can't be called good either. Even after living under the same roof for more than ten years, she has always maintained a mediocre relationship with the two brothers Zhou Lin.

She would not object to Zhou Chengan, a father who spent money on his son. When the two brothers were young, she would take care of their food and clothing, but she would not care about them. When they grew up, she would basically not have much contact with them.

She said that her stepsons have grown up and are all young men. It's not good for her as a stepmother to get too close to them.

Whether this is the truth or just her excuse, Zhou Lin doesn't know at all, and doesn't want to know.

After all, Li Qing, him and Zhou Shi are just family members who have no blood relationship at all. The other party only wants to be a mediocre family member, so he has no idea of ​​being a family member who loves each other.

Zhou Lin has lived in school since junior high school, and spent very little time at home. After graduating from university, he rented a house outside, and later bought a house for himself after earning money. Since then, he rarely went back to his father. There.

So every time Zhou Chengan asked him if he was used to living outside, he really wanted to tell his dad that this is not outside, this is his home.

But every time he held back.

So what to say, so what not to say.

Zhou Lin thought wildly for a while, and then went to the bedroom to take a look. The air conditioner was working well, and the room felt quite dry, but the walls and floor didn't dry that fast.

In order to be able to stay back at night, Zhou Lin searched the house, piled up the dehumidifier and heater in the bedroom, and turned on several home appliances together. He checked it after a while, and it really worked.

I can finally sleep well tonight.

Zhou Lin was in a good mood, and it was already noon by the time. He opened the refrigerator at home, and there were not many things left in it. Before he went on a trip, he almost emptied the refrigerator, leaving only a little meat in the freezer. .

It seems that I need to go to the vegetable market to fill up the refrigerator.

Zhou Lin plans to rest for a day before going out to buy. There is only this little meat left today, so he can make boiled pork slices with only sliced ​​meat for a meal. As for the evening, if he can’t do it, he can order takeaway.

Zhou Lin got used to living alone, and decided to cook, so he washed the rice, cooked a bowl of rice for himself, took the meat out to defrost, washed and cut it, seasoned it and put it in the pot.

One person, one bowl of rice, one dish.

Zhou Lin didn't feel sorry for himself, on the contrary he was quite at ease.

With the first bite of meat in his mouth, the doorbell rang again.

Zhou Lin glanced at the direction of the entrance, and resignedly put down his chopsticks.

If nothing else, it should be the one upstairs.

After opening the door, Zhou Lin was not disappointed at all.

Ding Yi had two pockets in his hands, and when he saw Zhou Lin, he picked them up.

"I ordered a little more takeaway for lunch, and I'll get some for you."

Zhou Lin glanced at it, and it wasn't a luxurious meal, but a meal from a nearby fast food restaurant. He reached out and took it, thinking that he could save his troubles at night.

"Then I thank you."

"You're welcome. After all, I caused you trouble." The room soaked in water must always be cleaned up. Energy and strength do not cost money, but they are tiring.

After Ding Yi delivered the meal, he wanted to turn around and leave, but from the moment he opened the door, he could smell the special smell of meat in the room.

"Already eating?"

He asked very out of character.

"……Um."

Zhou Lin sized up Ding Yi indiscriminately, thinking, this person doesn't want to spend money, does he?

Fortunately, the other party was very savvy, and before he asked "politely", he said goodbye and went upstairs.

Getting a takeaway for nothing, Zhou Lin was in a good mood and gave himself an extra meal at noon.

In the afternoon, Zhou Lin had nothing else to do, so he made the bed and took a nap.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when he woke up, and he just had a meal. He felt sleepy, so he went back to bed and continued to sleep. He didn't feel that he finally woke up until noon the next day.

Zhou Lin looked at the bedroom wall, it looked like it was almost dry on the outside, and the water didn't seep anymore.

He just didn't know how the repairs were going upstairs. If it had already been repaired, then he wouldn't have to worry about being implicated in the future.

It's okay anyway, Zhou Lin is going to go upstairs to see the situation.

Halfway up the stairs, Zhou Shi sent a message to ask if he was awake.

[Just woke up, are you coming over this weekend? 】

[The final exam is coming, I'm a bit busy with the review, so I won't go. 】

When Zhou Lin was reminded, he glanced at the date on his phone. It was already January, and the Chinese New Year was only a few days away. They also had final exams on Zhou.

time flies.

Zhou Lin sighed in his heart, he didn't feel it when the New Year's Day was celebrated, and he didn't really feel the New Year's Day until the Lunar New Year passed.

He's also turning 26.

Ringing the doorbell, Ding Yi was at home and opened the door for him.

"Let me see the progress of the repair."

Zhou Lin reported his purpose, but Ding Yi didn't think he was too lenient and let people into the house.

"The water pipe has been repaired. The master has replaced a new pipe. The problem of water leakage has been solved. The water valve is now open. You should pay attention to the wall in the past two days. If there is any problem, we will ask the master to solve it."

This speed is quite fast.

"Okay, I'll contact you if I have any questions."

Zhou Lin went to the bathroom to take a look, and found that the broken wall bricks were still piled up inside, and the floor looked messy. It turned out that only the water pipes had been repaired, and Ding Yi's bathroom hadn't been repaired yet.

Ding Yi took Zhou Lin to take a look. When he came out, he suddenly thought of saying: "Let's add a contact information. Your walls and floors probably won't be finished in a day or two. It will be convenient for us to contact you then."

Zhou Lin naturally had no objection, he took out his mobile phone.

"You sweep me?"

When passing by the door, his clothes and trousers were hooked by the door handle, and the phone flew out and fell to Ding Yi's feet.

Ding Yi reached out to pick it up, his gaze casually swept across the screen.

The screen of the mobile phone was on, and there was an unclosed dialog box on it, which showed that the avatar on the side of "myself" was a boat drawn in ink.

Not very common, but very familiar.

Isn't his virtual boyfriend business object the same avatar?
