Urban Druid

While sleeping, as expected, Gao Cheng failed to make love to Ning Qing again, this guy had a sore back and back pain due to the afternoon's work, took a shower, climbed into bed, and started snoring within 5 minutes.

Ning Qing, who didn't fall asleep for the first time, couldn't help showing a little pride at the corner of his mouth seeing him like this.

A night without dreams.

Ning Qing, who also slept heavily after physical labor, did not wake up until 09:30 in the morning. At this time, Gao Cheng had already left for the company.

On the table in the dining room was the breakfast he made and a small note explaining where he was going and what he was doing.

After Ning Qing had breakfast, when he went to the next door to check the growth of the newly planted plants yesterday, he realized that the outside was filled with thick fog and a vast expanse of whiteness.

On a rare rest day, I originally planned to go out for a walk with the dog first, and then go to the Wetland Park to see the living conditions of the stray cats, but the plan had to be postponed.

The air in Rongcheng has improved a lot since it was purified by him, and it is no longer smoggy.However, due to the climate of the basin, it is still foggy in winter. When the sun comes out and the fog clears, it will definitely be a good weather.

After ten o'clock, the thick fog finally dissipated, and the whole city was warm and comfortable under the sunshine of the sunny winter day.

Ning Qing put on a thick coat and went out with buns and steamed buns.

All the way to the Wetland Park, where stray cats gather, one stop there, the cats will automatically gather around.

Ning Qing untied the cat food on the bun's back, took the cat food bowl from the bun, and started feeding the cat.

As expected, the cats in the community often come here to play, and he has already found several very familiar ones.

The cats ate the cat food and did not leave, but acted coquettishly around him.

Ning Qing became less and less resistant to these furry creatures, so she happily scratched their chins, combed their long fur, and checked them one by one for any diseases, which made Baozi bark with jealousy.The cats got angry and chased away a group of cats, and then sat upright again, with innocent black eyes open, pretending to be cute and pitiful to the owner.

Ning Qing didn't feel displeased with Baozi's jealousy and vying for favor, but smoothed it out for him, appeasing the little dissatisfaction of the big guy.

When he checked the cats just now, he was surprised to find that all these cats had been sterilized, and they were in good health, without any skin diseases. He couldn't help being a little puzzled.However, when he thought of what he had told him, Gao Cheng had always done a good job, and he would never give any discounts, so he was relieved.

On my way home, I passed by the Home of Pets, and thought that there was not much dog food at home, so I turned around and walked in, ready to buy some.

As soon as he stepped into the store, he saw Zhao Kai who hadn't seen him for half a year.

"Ah Qing." Zhao Kai was both surprised and delighted. He went to Ning Qing's house to knock on the door just now, but he didn't see anyone. He was disappointed at first, but he didn't expect to meet Ning Qing who stayed at home all year round here.

Ning Qing nodded to him as a greeting, then walked to the shelf and picked out dog food.

Zhao Kai was immediately flattered, this was the first time Ning Qing responded to his greeting.He looked at the other person carefully, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something different about this person. Although he was still as indifferent as before, the feeling of always being alone in another world was gone.

This person, like stepping out of a cold and distant ink painting scroll, has become a living member of ordinary people like them.

Zhao Kai was both delighted and sad when he saw it.The happy thing is that Ning Qing finally looks like a living person; the sad thing is that it is not herself who made the other party change like this.

He walked slowly to the other side, and asked softly, "How are you doing recently?" He knew that Ning Qing was a scientist in biology, and he didn't consciously pay attention to the reports in this field when he was abroad. magazines, appearing on social and economic pages.

Ning Qing didn't speak, just nodded.To him, Zhao Kai is just a stranger passing by, even if he still remembers the other party's previous confession, he won't care too much.

Seeing Ning Qing's indifferent reaction, Zhao Kai comforted himself in a bitter way, and Ah Q thought: This can be regarded as progress, at least he no longer always ignores himself.

Knowing that if this continues, there will only be an awkward silence between the two, so he changed the subject and said, "Are you here to buy dog ​​food for Baozi? I'll help you..."

"No need." A cold voice interrupted Zhao Kai, but it was not Ning Qing who spoke, but Gao Cheng who had just walked in.

He went home to make lunch, but he didn't see anyone, so he guessed that Ning Qing was probably walking his dog. When he went out to look for it, he passed by a pet store, and saw Ah Qing with sharp eyes.When he walked into the pet shop, he heard that Zhao Kai, the rival in love, was going to take the opportunity to approach his family, Ah Qing, and cut off the other party's words without hesitation.

"Why is it you again?!" Zhao Kai suddenly became angry, and glared at Gao Cheng like a knife.

Damn!Is this guy a dog?Why would he come out to disrupt the situation as long as he was alone with Ning Qing for a while?He really wondered if Gao Cheng installed a special rival sniffer on his nose so that he could appear in time every time.

Gao Cheng sneered at him, then turned to Ning Qing and said, "Ah Qing, Dr. Zhao must have a lot of things to deal with when he returns to China this time, so we won't bother him. I'll carry the dog food."

Ning Qing was unaware of the turbulent tide between the two, nodded, pointed to a large bag of 20-jin dog food and said: "That's it, the nutrition is well matched, and I like steamed buns and steamed buns a lot."

Gao Cheng saw that his outstretched hand was a little blue from the cold, his eyes were fixed, and he said complainingly: "Why don't you wear gloves when you go out?" He took Ning Qing's hands, put them in his warm arms, and covered them with a thick cloth. Thick coat covers.

The warm and thick touch came continuously from the hand.Ning Qing felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to pull out his hand, but Gao Cheng held it down stubbornly.

He was not let go until his hands became warm.

Zhao Kai watched the interaction between them, there was an atmosphere that no one else could penetrate, and his heart became colder and colder.

If it goes on like this, maybe it will be too late when he comes back again after he has dealt with it...

Ning Qing led the two dogs, Gao Cheng carried the dog food, and returned home together.

Gao Cheng put down the dog food, went into the kitchen, and started making lunch.

Today's meeting went on for a long time, and it was almost 12 o'clock when he came back. He was afraid that Ning Qing would be hungry, so he put on an apron before he even had time to change into his suit.

Looking back in the midst of his busy schedule, he saw Ning Qing leaning against the kitchen door and looking at him, thinking that he was hungry, so he said, "Are you hungry? It will be ready soon. Why don't you eat some snacks first."

Ning Qing shook her head, seeing how busy he was, she felt a little warm inexplicably.A thought came to my mind that maybe it would be good to continue like this.

During the meal, Gao Cheng said to him: "Ah Qing, come back to the capital with me for Chinese New Year this year, okay?"

Meet the parents?Ning Qing was startled, and immediately wanted to say no.

But he suddenly saw Gao Cheng's sincere and expectant eyes, and the words of refusal were stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out.

"Don't worry, my family already knew about you." Gao Cheng thought he was worried about his relatives' opposition, and persuaded softly, "They are very good and won't make things difficult for you. Don't worry about buns and steamed buns, we You can take them back with you, or ask someone to take care of them."

Ning Qing thought for a long time before saying, "Okay."

Since my life is destined to go on with Gao Cheng, I have to pass this test sooner or later.

On the day 28 years ago, the two still didn't bring buns and steamed buns, and flew to the capital by themselves.

But when he arrived in City A of the capital city, Gao Cheng didn't take him home directly, but went to accompany Ning Qing to sweep his grandfather's grave first.

Grandpa Ning Qing was buried in Xishan Cemetery in City A.

Gao Cheng bought a bunch of chrysanthemums, dressed in black, and followed Ning Qing to the cemetery.

Climb the long stairs all the way to the grave of Grandpa Ning Rongjun.

The tomb of the old man is very simple, with an ordinary pattern. There is a black and white photo on the tombstone, which shows the serious and rigid face of the old man.

Ning Qing stood silently in front of the tombstone.

For Grandpa, he has complicated feelings.There is gratitude, there is indifference, and perhaps resentment.

He didn't even know whether the old man who was always stern to him all day long without saying a word loved him, whether he was his relative, or just a responsibility that he had to bear, or that he was innocent A stain that is hard to wash off for a lifetime but will not be preserved at the end of the year?

At this time, it was raining lightly, and neither of them had an umbrella. The wet rain stained Ning Qing's black hair with water vapor, making the already thin person look even more alone.

Gao Cheng's heart became wet with the rain, and he couldn't help hugging him.Whispered comfortingly in his ear: "Ah Qing, you are not alone now, you still have me."

Ning Qing stood quietly for a while, then said, "Let's go."

After speaking, he turned and walked down the mountain.

Whether it's gratitude or resentment, people are dead, so what's the use of thinking about it.

Better to forget and leave.

After leaving the cemetery, Ning Qing suddenly asked Gao Cheng: "Going to your house, do I need to buy any presents?"

Before leaving yesterday, he was sent a bunch of text messages by two female students, compulsively explaining the precautions for a prospective son-in-law when he comes to the house for the first time.The enthusiasm of the students and the company's gossiping executives on the development of the relationship between him and Gao Cheng gave him the illusion that people all over the world were supporting them together.

Although the text message was directly deleted by him dumbfounded, he still remembered one thing: a gift is a must!

It's just that in the past two years, Gao Cheng has been taking care of this kind of trivial life for him, and he forgot about it before letting him board the plane.

Gao Cheng saw that he was ignorant about this kind of thing, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I have prepared all these. Grandpa's is a pot of successful experimental Clivia, and everyone else will give away the defective ones." alright."

Ning Qing was stunned.He has heard about what kind of person Gao Cheng's grandfather is, the general who founded//country//!Moreover, their family is either a high-ranking political figure or a rookie in the military. Gao Cheng dismissed them with these experimental products?

Gao Cheng could see what the other party was thinking at a glance, and said proudly: "Of course. These gifts are the only ones in the world. No matter how rich or powerful they are, they can't buy them. They still took advantage of them!" These things are all Ah Qing's hard work, and he is still reluctant to give them away.

And he can guarantee that when the group of elders in the family who have no sense of innovation see Ning Qing, they will definitely give them jade pendants, computers, cars, red envelopes and other uninnovative gifts when they see Ning Qing. These are all the gifts my son got, and they have never changed.

Now that Gao Cheng made such a promise, Ning Qing didn't say anything more.

Anyway, for this kind of thing, the other party knows a lot, which is much better than myself who doesn't know anything. Listening to him, you shouldn't be wrong.
