half blind

Zhang Qing was a little surprised, "It's just six o'clock? You got up so early, you even bought breakfast?"

Zhou Nanchen smiled, and just picked up the food in his hand, "I heard movement in your room when I came back, I guess you woke up. This Xiaolongbao is very delicious, I bought it many times, try it."

"Okay." Zhang Qing followed Zhou Nanchen to the restaurant, and saw Van Gogh standing on the water dispenser, licking his paw condescendingly.

Looking at Van Gogh, Zhang Qing couldn't help but "tsk", "Why do I always feel that your cat despises me."

Zhou Nanchen laughed when he heard that, and patted Van Gogh on the back to let him go down, while taking out bowls and plates from the cupboard, "Don't think too much, he despises everyone."

"You despise too?"

"Yeah, when I first brought him home, he looked like a second uncle." Zhou Nanchen laughed, "When I sent him to the pet hospital for a check-up, it was a fierce one, and the three of them almost managed to catch him. "

"It's so exaggerated." Zhang Qing looked at Van Gogh who was squatting lazily aside, and pressed his fingers with lingering fear.

The bite wound yesterday was very small, but it doesn't hurt much today.However, I can imagine that the cat's fierce appearance must be very scary.

"After going to the hospital for an examination, I found out that he was a male three flower, which surprised the doctors in the hospital." Zhou Nanchen said, "The probability of saying it is a male three flower is only one in a thousand."

"It's amazing." Zhang Qing said in surprise.

"Van Gogh was abandoned. When I met him, he was covered in injuries." Zhou Nanchen put the bowl on the table, then turned to pick up the chopsticks, "I was chased and beaten by a group of stray cats. The group of cats drove away and followed me all the time."

Zhang Qing was a little dazed and nodded.

"He was very difficult to get close to anyone at the beginning. He didn't trust people, and he didn't get along well with other cats. When he saw everything, he hunched his back and frowned. When he first came, he slapped my speaker with one paw. , just because that thing can make noise." Zhou Nanchen put the chopsticks on the bowl and brought vinegar again, "Eat it."

Zhang Qing opened the chair and sat down, tasted a steamed stuffed bun, "Hey, it's delicious."

"Isn't it delicious?" Zhou Nanchen smiled, "Don't think this area is quite out of the way, but there are many residential areas, and the snacks are pretty good."

"You..." The chopsticks in Zhang Qing's hand touched the edge of the bowl intermittently, "Have you lived here alone for a long time?"

"It didn't take long. In fact, it was only more than half a year. However, my dad used to work in this area, and I mentioned to many neighbors that he still knows him." Zhou Nanchen smiled, "So I probably don't plan to do it in a short time. The rent is broken, it happens that there are many crews filming in the film and television city here, so I just follow suit."

"Don't, don't, you're the team leader of the service team, the words 'follow me' are too cheap."

"It's Li Fan's play." Zhou Nanchen shook his head, "I don't get this kind of treatment from other crews. Director Li worked with me once before, and I was a serious makeup artist because of him."

It turned out that Director Li was Zhou Nanchen's bole, Zhang Qing bit the chopsticks in his mouth thoughtfully.

Zhou Nanchen's mention of his father brought back Zhang Qing's memories.

Zhou Nanchen's father passed away when he was a child. It seems that because of a problem with the factory's machinery, he fell from the scaffolding and died on the spot.

Zhou Nanchen's mother went to the factory to reason, and was thrown out on the shoulders. His grandmother, grandfather, and all the relatives in the family ran to make trouble. After half a month, they only gave a small sum of money to pass it off, and never heard of it again. It's quiet.

Since then, his mother has been depressed and began to drink heavily, and she didn't stop until Zhou Nanchen entered high school.

Zhang Qing has met his mother several times, and now he still has lingering fears when he thinks about it.His mother is pretty, she is very elegant in normal times, she likes to pat him on the shoulder and call him a handsome guy, but after drinking, her temperament will change drastically, her hair will be disheveled and she will yell.

Once Zhang Qing went to Zhou Nanchen's home to do his homework. At around nine o'clock in the evening, his mother came back suddenly, and started yelling as soon as she entered the door.

Zhang Qing couldn't remember exactly what he was yelling at, but he only remembered scolding Zhou Nanchen.

First scold him a debt collector, then scold him for being heartless, just like his father.

After a while, he began to call the factory owner a bastard, who would go to the [-]th hell and die.

At that time, Zhang Qing didn't know what factory she was talking about. She only remembered that Zhou Nanchen grabbed Zhang Qing's arm and pulled him into the house when Zhou's mother started to scold him. He locked the door skillfully. Picked up the paintbrush again like nothing happened.

"She's like this, she's going to get nervous every once in a while." At that time, Zhou Nanchen didn't even change his expression, "Don't worry about it. It will be fine when you sober up."

……

Zhang Qing quickly pulled her thoughts back, "Your dad, isn't he working in a factory in the northeast?"

"He's been here too, and he's traveled to many places across the country." Zhou Nanchen paused and lowered his voice, "The accident happened in the northeast."

"That's it..." In fact, reason told Zhang Qing that he shouldn't continue this topic, but maybe Zhou Nanchen's reaction was not that big, so he couldn't help asking, "Then where is your mother now?"

"I... didn't live with her." Zhou Nanchen looked away from Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Zhou Nanchen had already stood up from his seat, "Do you want something to drink? There are Coke and yogurt in the refrigerator."

"Yogurt." Zhang Qing gave up asking, "Thank you."

From the corner of Zhang Qing's eyes, he saw that Zhou Nanchen had already taken the Coke out of the refrigerator. He was taken aback for a moment, then put it back and replaced it with yogurt.

"Give."

He used to really like drinking Coke.

Zhang Qing stared at the yogurt box in a daze, but Duanmurou strictly prohibited it after work, saying that cola was high in sugar and unhealthy, and it was easy to damage teeth.

Before he had time to tear open the package, he was startled by a sudden slap from outside the door.

dong dong dong, dong dong dong!

"Damn it? Who is it?" Zhang Qing immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the door, "Why did you knock on the door like a robber?"

Zhou Nanchen laughed when he heard this, stood up and opened the door, "It's not a person."

What?Zhang Qing watched in astonishment as Zhou Nanchen opened the door, and a tall golden hair rushed in.

"Rhubarb! Slow down!" Zhou Nanchen yelled, but it still couldn't stop the dog from rushing towards Van Gogh excitedly wagging its tail.

However, Van Gogh reacted very quickly, jumping faster than Rhubarb, and jumped to a place that Rhubarb couldn't reach in the blink of an eye.

"This...is your dog too?" Zhang Qing was dumbfounded.

"No, I don't have time to raise a dog." Zhou Nanchen laughed, "It's from the neighbor's."

Zhang Qing followed Zhou Nanchen's eyes and saw that the door of the neighbor's house was open, and a kind-hearted old woman was sitting in a wheelchair, smiling and waving to this side.

"Achen, I trouble you to walk the rhubarb again."

"It's okay, no trouble." Zhou Nanchen patted Rhubarb's head, "Is Brother Liu not coming back today?"

Grandma shook her head, "I'm busy, I'm busy. Is this your friend?"

"Ah, my friend, come here to stay for a few days."

Zhang Qing quickly reached out to say hello, "Grandma."

Grandma's eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, "Well, the young man looks really handsome, like a big star."

Zhou Nanchen laughed out loud, "Isn't he just—"

Zhang Qing quickly grabbed Zhou Nanchen and almost covered his mouth, "It's okay, it's okay, you should have a good rest."

Seeing the neighbor's grandma's door slowly closing, Zhang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Nanchen looked at him with a half-smile, "Are you sure?"

Zhang Qing's face was a little hot, "Why are you telling people this? You think I'm not ashamed enough."

"What's so embarrassing about being an actor?"

"No, it's just..." Zhang Qing gave up explaining, "Forget it. Are you going to help the grandmother across the door walk the dog?"

"Well. I only found out after I moved here that the grandma on the other side used to be my dad's neighbor, and she was very familiar with her. Her son works nearby and is very filial. She bought a dog for the old man. But recently, she has been very busy with work and can't find time. Come for a walk, I'll help you out." Zhou Nanchen paused, looked at Da Huang, and said with a smile, "Besides, since Da Huang found out that there is a cat in my house, he has come to knock on the door every day when he has nothing to do. Whenever he has a chance, he will join Van Gogh. Almost, Van Gogh almost bored him to death."

Zhang Qing looked in the direction of Van Gogh, and saw that the cat was flicking its tail high above, glaring viciously at Rhubarb below, and purring threateningly from its throat.

Seeing Van Gogh's appearance, Zhang Qing burst out laughing, "Okay, I'm not angry anymore, I'm mentally balanced."

"Van Gogh has such a character, you will get to know you after staying with him for a while." Zhou Nanchen stroked Rhubarb and pulled the leash around the dog's neck, "Leave Rhubarb, don't look, he will ignore you. "

Rhubarb reluctantly glanced in the direction of Van Gogh a few more times, then let out a low whine, and followed Zhou Nanchen out of the door.

"Are you okay this morning?" Zhou Nanchen helped Zhang Qing who was going down the stairs.

"No. A friend of mine said that she might come to see me today, but it will have to be in the afternoon or evening. She can't get up so early during the work window." Zhang Qing was a lot more careful when walking the stairs this time, and didn't dare to hold the handrail again. .

"That's good." Zhou Nanchen smiled sheepishly, "I'm afraid it will delay your work or something."

"It's because I'm afraid of delaying you." Zhang Qing complained softly.

Someone suddenly wants to live in your house for no reason, and you have to be tied to you to see things clearly. I am afraid that no one will be happy about this matter.

"It's okay." Zhou Nanchen pulled the dog's leash, "My life is like this, and you have seen it too. Every day, there is nothing to delay."

Zhang Qing smiled lightly.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just thought you looked like an old man before. I didn't expect you to look like an old man now." Zhang Qing sighed, "Master 2.0."

Zhou Nanchen couldn't help being amused by Zhang Qing's words, "Is your life not good, sir?"

Zhang Qing also laughed, "It's just that a while ago I was so busy that I didn't touch the ground every day, and now I suddenly got up, I'm not used to it. But..."

Zhou Nanchen looked at him.

"But it's really good. My life...is very different." Zhang Qing thought for a while and said.

"Really." Zhou Nanchen smiled.

Da Huang didn't know how long he hadn't gone out. He was quite excited when he came out, and he kept pulling the rope to drag Zhou Nanchen forward.But Zhang Qing couldn't walk too fast, so Zhou Nanchen kept pulling Rhubarb back.

"Why don't you let go of the rope." Zhang Qing felt a little sympathetic to Da Huang when he saw this scene, "There is no one around here, let him run away."

Zhou Nanchen hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, nodded, bent down and loosened the rhubarb rope in his hand.As soon as Rhubarb was freed, he started running, sprinted forward for a while, and then ran back to call out to them, and started running back and forth like this over and over again.

"Damn." Zhang Qing smiled, "You're so energetic."

"Large dogs are like this. If you don't come out for a walk every day, you have to tear down the house." Zhou Nanchen wrapped the dog's leash around his wrist, "That's why I said that I don't have the energy to keep a dog, and I have to watch it every day."

The two of them walked slowly side by side in the community. The morning air was chilly, but fortunately there was a newborn sun, which slanted on their shoulders, saving some of the temperature.

"That night...I'm sorry." Zhang Qing shook his heart, and still said what he wanted to say a long time ago.

"When?" Zhou Nanchen didn't react.

"You called me that day, but I..." Zhang Qing sighed, reached out and rubbed his temples, because he felt too mentally retarded to finish the sentence.

"Oh, that day." Zhou Nanchen nodded.

"I shouldn't have snapped at you."

"It's okay." Zhou Nanchen said, "Anyway, it wasn't my phone that fell."

Depend on.Zhang Qing's face turned red and white, and he knew that Zhou Nanchen must have guessed how his phone fell.

"It's really fine." Zhou Nanchen sighed, "If you want to say an apology, it should be me."

Zhang Qing suddenly didn't know what to say.

It is said that little is nothing, and the love in adolescence is like a flash in the pan, vigorous and fleeting.But Zhang Qing felt that a part of himself remained forever in the summer vacation of his sophomore year, in the eternally long busy tone on the other end of the phone.

Now the person who took that part of him stood in front of him, with a slender figure, reflected in the brilliance of the rising sun, separated by seven years that may no longer be known.

Zhang Qing thought that when he finally crossed the valley of growth, some people and some things were left forever on the other side of the cliff.

They walked the dog for an hour or so, during which Rhubarb ran around excitedly, but obediently did not stay far away.

The two of them talked about uninspiring topics one after another. When Zhou Nanchen opened the door of the corridor, Zhang Qing felt that the time passed quite quickly.

"What would you like to have for lunch?" Zhou Nanchen asked suddenly after sending the rhubarb back to the neighbor's grandma's house.

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment, "It's still far from noon."

"Ask, so I can prepare in advance."

"Prepare in advance," Zhang Qing was a little surprised, "Are you planning to cook by yourself?"

"Yeah, what's so strange?" Zhou Nanchen said with a smile, "Not everyone can eat delicious food and spicy food like you."

"Who eats hot and spicy food." Zhang Qing clicked his tongue, "You can try to eat the crew's box lunch every day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qing's cell phone rang before the words fell.

He took out his phone from his pocket and took a step towards Zhou Nanchen, only to see that it was Yin Ling who was on the phone.

"My friend." Zhang Qing said and picked up the phone, "Hello? When are you coming?"

There was still a lot of chatter on the phone, and Yin Ling's voice almost shouted, "Hey, Qingqing, I'm not going over!"

Zhang Qing was taken aback, "You guys have been jumping since last night, right?"

"Yes." Yin Ling replied straightforwardly, and the loud music could still be heard on the other end.

"Damn, you're not too tired." Zhang Qing felt overdrawn when he heard it, "Okay, come or not, just in time..."

Someone cook for me.Before he could say this sentence, Yin Ling interrupted him.

"I won't go there, come here!"

"What?" Zhang Qing couldn't help raising his voice.
