"So you know you have a brother."

For Chi Chao's malicious praise, Lu Ge respectfully thanked him.

He picked up the cup of milk tea, and after taking a sip, he was so sweet that he frowned.

"It's too..." He smacked his lips, "It's like syrup."

"Give it to me," Chi Chao reached for the milk tea, "I'll drink it."

Before Lu Ge realized that his hand was empty, he let out a "hey" and said, "I drank it."

Although it was just one sip, due to his occupational obsessive-compulsive disorder, he still wanted to remind Chi Chao to at least change the straw.

It's a pity that Chi Chao obviously didn't think about it that much, and immediately put the milk tea in his mouth when he got it.

Lu Ge saw that the straw that was still in his mouth just now ran into Chi Chao's mouth, and suddenly felt a subtle weird feeling.

And Chi Chao drank it as soon as he finished, he grabbed the straw and took a bite, directly wrinkling Lu Ge's brows.

"Why isn't this store open yet?" Lu Ge turned and looked towards the store door, "I'll check the date."

Although he didn't want to admit it, he somewhat wanted to escape from reality.

Perhaps this feeling has existed since the time he entered the cinema, or it may have been farther away. From the moment he returned to China and saw Chi Chao, Lu Ge had a feeling that was different from that of the teenagers who were as tall as him or even taller than before. Totally different feeling.

It's really a fast thing for a child to grow up. When Lu Ge was still at home last year, he saw Chi Chao jumping up.

And in the next half a year, he also went home once in May, the last time and this time, every time he looked at Chi Chao, it was as if he was a different person.

And this kind of "change" is not just a physical change, but more of a psychological change.

For example, it can be seen with the naked eye that Chi Chao has long since left his original savage state, and now he can basically live with him without any burden.

Not only that, but also the calmness emanating from his bones, Lu Ge himself didn't know how to raise such a rebellious little wild dog so well.

Thinking of this, Lu Ge's thoughts paused.

Maybe not really nice either.

"You are now the number 59 of the small table, and there are still three tables ahead."

The welcoming girl outside the store warmly recommended Lu Ge to eat some fruit in the rest area they arranged. Lu Ge thanked him with a smile, and turned on his phone to check the time.

It's almost seven o'clock and almost eight o'clock, and there are still three tables in front of us. It's better to change to another one if we have a meal and wait until the end of time.

"It's better to buy some food and eat at home," Chi Chao walked side by side in the shopping mall with Lu Ge's cup of milk tea.

"Buying vegetables now, what time will it be when it's ready?" Lu Ge said, "Just find a place to eat."

There are still many people in the aisle outside the store, and the clerks in some restaurants will hand out menus to the passing crowd.

Lu Ge would basically wave his hand and refuse, but Chi Chao picked up all the way, as if he was here for an inspection, carefully looking at each one.

"You still have to throw away so much," Lu Ge helped Chi Chao bring a few menus, "You don't go into their store, what are you doing with so much?"

"Go in if you want to eat," Chi Chao took another sip of milk tea, "Brother, do you want sweet or spicy?"

Chi Chaozheng drank that cup of milk tea in one gulp, and Lu Ge felt tired just looking at it.

"Actually, it's okay," Chi Chao handed the milk tea to Lu Ge, "Do you want to have another sip?"

Lu Ge leaned back: "I'll forget it."

"Gentlemen, would you like to try our new two-person set menu? There are meat and vegetarian buffet drinks and fruits, and there are also discounts—"

Chi Chao took the menu as usual, and paused when he saw the main new products on it.

"Is this a set meal?" He not only looked at it this time, but also pointed to it and asked.

Seeing Chi Chao's interested expression, Lu Ge also stopped.

"This is our store owner's set menu for couples. The two handsome guys deliberately try it out. Steak pasta with vegetable soup. You can also choose seafood and other flavors..."

Before Chi Chao could finish listening to the other party, he turned his head and found that Lu Ge had walked several steps away.

Just leave in such a hurry.

He bowed his head slightly and thanked the clerk, then quickly chased after him.

"Brother, why are you leaving?" The smile in Chi Chao's words still persisted.

"I eat those things abroad every day, and I still eat them when I return home?" Lu Ge didn't even look at him, "If you want to eat it, go eat it."

Lu Ge didn't know that this brat Chi Chao didn't mean to embarrass him on purpose, as soon as the words "couple package" entered his ears, his whole body became numb.

Even if he knew that the clerk might just be soliciting customers, the set meal for two that he introduced to Chi Chao might not necessarily be for a couple.

But the subtlety in his heart seemed to be drawn out along the way, no matter what Chi Chao said or did, he would feel that it carried a different meaning.

Awkward, embarrassing, and a little overwhelmed.

Lu Ge went around the shopping mall, and finally returned to the original restaurant in a state of frustration.

Fortunately, when they arrived, three tables of guests had just left, and they finally sat down at eight o'clock.

Four people sat at a table, and the two brothers sat opposite each other.

Chi Chao took the lead in scanning the QR code to order, and passed the mobile phone to Lu Ge: "Brother, order."

Lu Ge took a step too late, the corner of the phone rested on the table, and he didn't open it.

He looked at the mobile phone that was exactly the same as his own, but didn't take it: "Look carefully."

Chi nodded, and put the phone back: "What do you want to eat?"

Lu Ge glanced at the tissue box on the table: "Whatever."

Chi Chao flipped through the menu and asked Lu Ge about every dish he ordered.

Lu Ge's mind was obviously not on this, and he nodded whenever he asked.

There is a particularly indescribable feeling that what Chi Chao is doing now is what Lu Ge did before.

Probably because of his personality, in a large circle of people, Lu Ge is always used to be the one who takes care of others or controls the overall situation.

He usually arranges before the party, orders at the dinner table, and sends home one by one when a group of people get drunk.

The same is true for taking care of Chi Chao. He always habitually presents himself as the elder of the other party, and he has a sense of mission to be responsible for the other party in his bones.

But after not seeing each other for several months, Chi Chao directly reversed Lu Ge's default relationship.

It is the other party who decides to watch a movie, what movie to watch, choose a restaurant after watching, and even propose to go home and cook.

So much so that when people were sitting at the table, Chi Chao had to scan the QR code to order food one step ahead of him, asked Lu Ge what he liked, and finally said hello to the waiter not to put chopped green onions.

This feeling of being taken care of by others is very strange, because it seems that it is the first time for Lu Gehuo to be so big.

He was a little confused, turned on his phone and saw that Lu Chen had dumped him a dozen text messages like a message bombardment.

Those messy thoughts just now were stopped midway, Lu Ge frowned and read the text messages one by one.

What Lu Chen wanted to express was probably that he had a fight with his mother, he was so angry that he didn't eat dinner that night, and now he was so hungry that he was crying.

The timing was just right, and the timing was just right.

Lu Ge directly called Lu Chen over for dinner.

The little girl ran fast, and when she arrived at the store, the food had just arrived.

Chi Chao looked at Lu Chen, who was rushing over in a hurry, and paused for two seconds, then turned his gaze to Lu Ge's face.

Lu Ge pretended he didn't see it, and pulled away the stool beside him: "Run so fast?"

Lu Chen sat down on the stool, pouted and hugged Lu Ge's arm: "Brother! Mom checked my phone!"

Lu Ge ironed the tableware for Lu Chen, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? The little secret has been discovered?"

"I don't have a little secret!" Lu Chen cried, "She checked my phone without my permission!"

With Lu Chen joining, Lu Ge felt a lot more relaxed, and the topic of the meal successfully revolved around Lu Chen.

"Oh, so it's mom who found out that you were sending messages with your male classmates?" Lu Ge seemed to understand the contradiction.

"It's just sending a message," Lu Chen explained without 300 taels of silver here, "She slandered me."

Lu Ge rested his chin on one hand and looked at his little sister who was jumping in anger: "Slander your puppy love?"

Lu Chen stared: "I don't have puppy love."

Lu Ge nodded, and he probably knew who this "male classmate" was.

He took time to glance at Chi Chao who was sitting across the table. The other party was concentrating on cooking, as if he couldn't hear the sound, and was completely out of the conversation between the siblings.

In fact, he had nothing to say.

The mother and daughter had a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days. There was no need for others to intervene, and peace could be restored within a meal.

Lu Ge also temporarily served as Lu Chen's trash can, and quietly listened to the other party's banter, and he didn't feel so angry when he was full.

Just after nine o'clock after a meal, Lu Chen skipped out of the shopping mall with a snack from the bakery in his hand.

Summer nights are still lively, and there are still many people enjoying the cool air in the square.

Lu Chen didn't want to go home, so he dragged Lu Ge to wander around the street.

Lu Ge also spoiled her, and slipped all the way from the shopping mall to the night market.

This side is more lively, and the huge display screen illuminates the surroundings like daytime.

There are countless stalls and hawkers on the street, joking and shouting, everywhere.

At a glance, Chi Chao saw the "colleague" he met from a part-time job at the time. The other party was holding a stack of leaflets in his hand, and he was blocking the way that people must pass to distribute them.

Walking past so brightly, you will definitely be recognized.

Chi Chao felt guilty.

Although he was caught by Qi Qing to secretly work part-time because he lost his mobile phone before, but at that time Lu Ge was far away, and he gave a verbal warning and it passed.

But now he is still guilty because before Lu Ge came back at the end of July, Chi Chao found someone again and started these small part-time jobs again.

After working for less than a week, he restrained himself after Lu Ge came back.

But because of lack of manpower, they always contacted him over there. After Chi Chao refused a few times, he simply refused to answer the phone.

So if he is seen by his "colleagues" in a while, they must come over and ask him what's going on.

It's hard to say in front of Lu Ge.

He turned his face to one side, but he just avoided one on this side, but after crossing an intersection, he met another one on the other side.

Terrible.

On the other side, Lu Ge bought a popsicle for Lu Chen. He turned around and wanted to ask Chi Chao if he wanted it, but saw that the other party was frowning, looking a little annoyed.

He thought he was probably bored, so he was in a hurry.

"Eat popsicles?" Lu Ge stuck an old popsicle on the opponent's arm, "Why don't you go home first?"

Chi Chao took the popsicle over with downcast eyes, and then nodded in response. This answer was actually quite unexpected by Lu Ge, because he felt that Chi Chao would follow even if he didn't want to.

He was even prepared to try to persuade Chi Chao if he said he was fine, but the other party just responded directly.

It's really strange.

After Chi Chao finished speaking, he turned around and left. Before Lu Ge could react, a young guy who was handing out leaflets in the square directly called out Chi Chao's name.

Before the yelling stopped him, the guy went against the flow of people and crossed the sea of ​​people. He insisted on chasing Chi Chao and yelled several times, and he called Lu Ge over.

"I'm calling you!" The guy finally caught Chi Chao and asked him out of breath, "Where have you been these few days? The boss said that there is a shortage of people recently."

Chi Chao subconsciously glanced in Lu Ge's direction and found that the other party had already walked over.

There was a "click" in his heart, knowing that he might not be able to escape this time.

"Recently?" Lu Ge came over and asked, "Has he distributed leaflets recently?"

The young man looked Lu Ge up and down, and said vigilantly, "Who are you?"

"I'm his brother," Lu Ge pointed to Chi Chao, "Has he looked for you again this month?"

The young guy probably also saw some bad signs, and said "bye" to Chi Chao without saying anything.

Like a fucking shit stick, just slip away when you're done.

Chi Chao was not in a good mood and said goodbye to the other party. He took a deep breath, looked at the big Buddha in front of him, and began to think about what to do.

"It's best to tell me the truth," Lu Ge said patiently, "I can find all the people you used to work part-time."

Lu Chen poked his head out from behind Lu Ge, and tried to ease the atmosphere with a smile: "Brother, don't be so serious!"

"And you," Lu Ge slapped her head directly, "Hurry up and go home!"

-

The evening activities were suspended ahead of schedule, and Lu Ge started to deal with Chi Chao after sending Lu Chen home.

Without saying anything, Chi Chao explained the matter clearly in the car with just that face.

"Are you short of money?" Lu Ge was a little puzzled, "How much can you earn?"

Chi Chao pursed his lips, looked down at his fingertips and said nothing.

"What's the reason?" Lu Ge asked again, "Be clear."

There have been precedents before, and now they are knowingly breaking the law.

Unless the root cause of the problem is solved, this little brat will never live in peace.

"I'm used to it," Chi Chao answered a bit inappropriately, "I can't take it easy."

Lu Ge glanced at him: "Are you free during summer vacation?"

"Well," Chi Chao still lowered his eyes, "There's nothing to do after the cram school."

"You can't do your homework? Can't read your books? Are your grades already good?" Lu Ge asked.

Chi Chao knew he was wrong and didn't talk back.

After Lu Ge finished speaking, he continued to drive his car while looking ahead.

What he said just now was somewhat emotional. After all, he was not serious about studying by himself back then, and people cannot study 24 hours a day.

The summer vacation time is relatively plentiful, and Chi Chao may have been afraid of being poor when he was a child, so the idea of ​​"making money" still remains in his mind.

After all, he dared to go to the construction site to move bricks at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but now it can be said that he has restrained himself a lot just to distribute leaflets.

But Lu Ge didn't need him to have this idea.

He didn't need Chi Chao to still be struggling with food and clothing as before, worrying about his own survival.

He just wanted Chi Chao to study hard and grow up carefree like Lu Chen.

"Brother," Chi Chao raised his head, looking at Lu Ge with some dodge, "I know I was wrong."

Lu Ge ignored him, turned the steering wheel and drove the car into the underground garage of the community.

The cold air between the two lasted until they got home, Lu Ge waited for Chi Chao to take a shower, sat on the sofa and threw him a pillow.

"come over."

Chi Chao's hair was half dry, he rubbed his nose and sat beside Lu Ge: "Brother."

"Oh," Lu Ge looked at the TV screen and said indifferently, "So I know I have a brother."

Chi Chao squeezed the pillow in his hand, then looked at Lu Ge beside him: "Brother, I'm not going."

"It's not a question of whether you go or not," Lu Ge pressed the remote control, picking and choosing among a bunch of videos, "Besides, is what you said still credible?"

Chi Chao remained silent and bowed his head to be scolded.

"It's true that people can't keep learning, and you have the right to deal with your free time. But you have to know how to choose, choose those things that relax you or are good for yourself."

"You can go to sleep, watch movies, or even play games. It's entertainment and relaxation. You can also play basketball or learn a hobby, which is self-improvement."

"Your age is the time when the pressure is the most monotonous and the least. You should do what you want to do. You can even go to... chat with the opposite sex like Lu Chen, whatever you want."

"But you chose the least cost-effective and least worthwhile thing. Even if you really want to work part-time, you have to magnify your strengths. Finding a regular place to be an elementary school tutor is better than handing out flyers on the street."

Lu Ge felt that it was a long, long time ago when he spoke to Chi Chao in such a serious tone.

At that time, Chi Chao didn't understand anything, and stared at him without blinking with his big thin eyes.

But now Chi Chao seems to have thought of becoming an adult, and Lu Ge even has a feeling that the other party actually understands everything.

Then why does Chi Chao still do this?

He doesn't move the money in the bank card, nor the living expenses, but he has to go out to earn money by himself.

Avoiding everyone, at the end of the day, is mistrust.

Because of distrust, he secretly saved money without telling the big family.

Although Lu Ge comforted himself that this was a normal expression of insecurity, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Puppy," Lu Ge leaned on the sofa, "you know everything, don't you?"

Chi Chao looked at Lu Ge, blinked quickly a few times, but didn't answer.

"Don't be sneaky about what you want to do, just say it, it's not forbidden."

Lu Ge turned his gaze from Chi Chao's face to the TV.

After choosing and choosing, I didn't choose what I wanted to see, so I just turned it off.

"Go to sleep."

The author says:

You can guess the reason why the puppy saves money, and if you guess right, you will be given a red envelope.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
