Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin

Probably because the injury affected his mood, Chi Xiaochi was dreaming again.

In the dream, he and Lou Ying were feeding the dog at the corner on the east side of Tongzilou.

In the afternoon of July, the scorching heat of the sun makes people's back numb and itchy. Chi Xiaochi sips half a salt water popsicle in his mouth, and holds Lou Ying's bowl in his hand, which contains beef strips that Lou Ying made at noon. Mix it with hot rice, and the aroma is tangy.

The little yellow dog likes this sumptuous meal very much, and eats it hot and delicious.

Chi Xiaochi took the opportunity to call it: "Dog meat."

Gou Rou sneaked out a cry.

Chi Xiaochi turned to Lou Ying and said, "Look, it's happy that I call it dog meat."

Lou Ying looked at the half-grown boy helplessly: "It's because you fed it. You told it to bury it, and it also..."

Gou Rou seemed to hear someone calling his name, so he yelled, "Oh."

Chi Xiaochi: "Wow, so heartless. Don't eat it."

He made a gesture to snatch the bowl away, but the dog meat sensed something was wrong, stuck his face in the bowl, and chewed a few mouthfuls.

Chi Xiaochi was just playing around with it, he lifted the bowl and tilted the mouth of the bowl towards it, so that the blind little yellow dog could eat more easily and smoothly.

He maintained this posture, squinting his eyes and smiling at Lou Ying.

But behind Lou Ying, a taller figure unexpectedly appeared, almost swallowing Lou Ying whole.

The man's face was hard to see because of the backlight, but his tone was quite gentle: "Xiaochi, you're feeding the dog again."

Chi Xiaochi stood up holding the bowl, glanced at Lou Ying very quickly, as if he had done something wrong: "...Mr. Zhu."

The person he calls Mr. Zhu is about 50 to [-] years old, tall and elegant, wearing black-rimmed glasses and carrying some cheap daily necessities.

His attitude towards Chi Xiaochi was extremely gentle: "When will you come in the afternoon? Or is it the old time?"

Chi Xiaochi tried his best to be concise: "Well, three o'clock."

Teacher Zhu said: "Don't forget to bring the math book from the second year of junior high school. Today we will talk about functions."

Chi Xiaochi: "Yes."

After Teacher Zhu left, Lou Ying stared at his back for a long time, frowning slightly.

Chi Xiaochi was so nervous that his fingers itched, he rubbed the back of his hand against the seam of his shorts, and instead of looking at Lou Ying, he squatted down, held up a bowl and continued to feed the dog meat.

After a while, he finally heard Lou Ying's voice: "Are you tutoring him now?"

Chi Xiaochi murmured "Ah".

Seeing his nervous appearance, Lou Ying stretched out her hand to stroke his hair.

After waiting for a long time, I realized that Lou Ying really didn't intend to investigate further, but Chi Xiaochi couldn't sit still: "...Why don't you ask."

Lou Ying: "Ask what?"

"It was my parents who asked me to make up lessons at Mr. Zhu's house....They didn't let me find you." Chi Xiaochi was so guilty that he tapped his toes on the softened yellow mud.

He just wanted to say, it's okay, I won't listen to them, Lou Ying cut off his words.

"I know, it's because of the recorder incident a few days ago?" Lou Ying curled her lips, "If it's that incident, it's because I did something wrong."

Chi Xiaochi put down the bowl with a bang.

The dog meat was so frightened that it stopped chewing, its glass-like eyeballs turned blankly, unable to see what had happened to its two patrons, it just wagged its bald tail in place, and found that the bowl hadn't been taken away , just followed the fragrance, carefully continued to lick the rice grains with beef flavor at the bottom of the bowl.

Lou Ying looked at Chi Xiaochi who was playing with his temper, and felt it was funny and soft-hearted.

He has always regarded this child as his younger brother.

He said, "Hey well, don't be scared to Bubu."

Chi Xiaochi was unhappy: "No more feeding."

Before Lou Ying could say anything more, Chi Xiaochi became excited first: "...Why should they?"

A few days ago, something happened to Lou Ying.

He has a good relationship with Boss Huang at the nearby waste station. The boss will bring some electronic products to Lou Yingxiu when collecting waste.The TV set in Boss Huang's house and the red and white machine played by his son are all second-hand goods repaired by Lou Ying.Of course, he didn't let Lou Yingxiu in vain. Once there was something he didn't need, he would give it to Lou Ying.

Boss Huang opened a small shop that sells second-hand electrical appliances. It contains semiconductors, small game consoles, hair dryers, electric fans, heaters, speakers, MP3s, etc. repaired by Lou Ying. All the things needed for repairs are provided by Boss Huang. Provided, the money earned will be divided between the two.

Lou Ying is firstly fond of machinery, and secondly, has selfish motives for practicing hands.As a dependent, he must have some sources of income of his own, so as not to cause trouble to his aunt's family.

He has always spent money sparingly. Coupled with the wages of working in pet stores and hardware stores, as well as various side businesses developed in private, the accumulation of assets on the books even exceeds that of some middle-aged people in Tongzilou.

It is precisely because of his own small coffers that he can often take Chi Xiaochi out to play, allowing him to eat two cones at a time.

However, half a month ago, Lou Ying put a newly repaired semiconductor on the windowsill, which attracted the attention of Aunt Chu who also lived in the tube building.

...that was the semiconductor she threw away a month ago.

I don't know if she forgot about throwing things away, or if she was upset that Lou Ying made money from the things she threw away. She declared that Lou Ying looked cute, but he would steal things from other people's houses and sell them for money.

Of course, she also said caringly that Lou Ying lost his father and mother since he was a child. He has no family to teach him, and he likes to take other people's things, which is quite normal.

After the rumors spread, it caused a lot of trouble for Lou Ying.

Lou Ying's aunt is busy with the family every day, and Lou Ying is also a child who does not cause trouble to others, so she has always been at ease with her nephew.

However, the side effects of "rest assured" are not understood.

After she had a quarrel with her husband, she found Lou Ying and asked him to find and throw out all his "fucking" things, so that she can't take other people's things casually in the future.

Lou Ying only returned the semiconductor without an apology. At the same time, he also returned the receipt written by Boss Huang, proving that it was a waste product from the waste station.

He has always been gentle in character, and he has no intention of making Aunt Chu ugly in public, but just hinted to her with the receipt that she discarded this thing herself, and asked her to pay attention to her wording.

Aunt Chu was enraged because of this, and the gossip about Lou Ying spread more vigorously.

The Tongzi building only has three floors, and the rumors can go up and down in half a day. The rumors of Lou Ying stealing things are getting more and more outrageous. Chi Xiaochi's parents heard it too, and asked Chi Xiaochi to stop playing with the thief at the dinner table , no matter how good your academic performance is, your morals are corrupt, and you cannot be saved.

Hearing the rumors, Chi Xiaochi was so angry that he threw away his chopsticks, and almost rolled up his sleeves and went to Chu's house.

Coincidentally, Lou Ying went to find Chi Xiaochi with the textbooks that he had left at his house, and cut him off halfway.

After asking where he was going, Lou Ying put his arms around Chi Xiaochi's waist, carried him on his shoulders, and quickly went up to the top floor.

After putting him down, Lou Ying advised him: "Don't make trouble. After all, it's just a semiconductor."

Chi Xiaochi was so angry that he pushed his shoulder straight: "No! I'll go find her! There's no end to this!!"

Lou Ying hugged him back again, seeing that she couldn't control it anymore, she could only hold him in her arms, rubbing the back of his neck and coaxing him softly: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, look, I'm not angry at all."

Chi Xiaochi burst into tears with anger: "No way!"

Seeing that the little crying bag with shallow eye sockets was about to cry out loud, Lou Ying pulled him to sit down beside the building, unpacked a pack of popping candies, poured them into the palm of her hand, and put the pink candy crumbs into the his mouth.

The angry and crying Chi Xiaochi opened his mouth obediently, and let him pour the sugar into his mouth.

The palm of Lou Ying's hand has the light lemon fragrance of hand soap and the fragrance of candy, making Chi Xiaochi want to lick it, but he gave up.

The crumbs of candy exploded in the warm mouth, crackling and crackling until his cheeks went numb, Chi Xiaochi could only shut his mouth.When he was quiet, Lou Ying said calmly: "Don't worry too much about them. We won't stay here in the future."

With tears in his eyes, Chi Xiaochi turned to look at him: "'We'?"

Lou Ying didn't know why he subconsciously bound Chi Xiaochi to him, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong.

He folded the corners of most of the remaining pack of popping candy, and stuffed it into Chi Xiaochi's pocket: "Well, we."

Chi Xiaochi was reluctantly persuaded, but his parents had strictly demanded that Chi Xiaochi not be allowed to go to Lou Ying again, and found Zhu Shoucheng, a middle school teacher who lived next door to Chi's house, to help him with homework this summer.

Chi Xiaochi never told Lou Ying about this, because he was afraid that he would overthink it.

At the same time, he had a little secret expectation.

He was very interested in Lou Ying's proposal about "we".He wants to catch up in Lou Ying's footsteps and go to Lou Ying's high school, so that he can get closer to "us".

But Lou Ying still looked at Chi Xiaochi with the eyes of a child: "It is indeed my fault for that matter."

"There is..." When a fart was about to come out, Chi Xiaochi saw Lou Ying's eyes, and his mouth and heart softened together, "...you are right."

But Lou Ying said unexpectedly: "In fact, you can come to me less in the future, and don't confront your parents head-on. You have one year to go to high school, so there is no need to have conflicts with your family..."

Chi Xiaochi's face turned red with anger, he took away the bowl that had been licked clean by the dog meat, and walked away.

Lou Ying: "Hey, Xiaochi..."

Chi Xiaochi walked to the entrance of the corridor and replied loudly: "Dead! I can't find you anymore!"

Lou Ying's gentle and helpless voice sounded from behind: "...come back."

Chi Xiaochi's heart was beating angrily, and he wanted to leave in a hurry, but when Lou Ying called out, he softened his heart again, but he couldn't hold back his face, so he walked back arrogantly, picked up the boy who was lazily licking The little blind dog with his paws put the bowl back into Lou Ying's hand: "The dog meat is mine. The dog food bowl is yours."

Dog meat:? ? ?

Lou Ying grabbed his shoulder and explained patiently: "I mean, you don't have to come to me, I will go to you."

Chi Xiaochi, who still wanted to hold on for a while, was stunned.

Lou Ying asked gently: "Is Teacher Zhu teaching well?"

Chi Xiaochi: "..."

Lou Ying's tone remained unchanged: "How do you compare with me?"

Chi Xiaochi hugged the dog meat and bit the bullet: "It's much better."

Lou Ying: "Then tonight, the two of us will go to the top floor to study together, won't you come?"

Chi Xiaochi was nervous and happy at the same time, a little flower blossomed in his heart: "I won't come."

Lou Ying smiled, and took out a piece of chocolate that was half melted by the heat from her pocket.Because Chi Xiaochi's young body is hot, he was afraid that if he gave Chi Xiaochi a piece of chocolate, he would be completely melted by his body temperature, and he would be powerless to recover.

He stuffed the chocolate into his breast pocket, deftly, as he had done countless times before: "At eight o'clock in the evening, on the rooftop, I will wait for you."

……

The real Chi Xiaochi opened his eyes.

He fixedly stared at the ceiling immersed in the night, with a somewhat dazed expression.

061 noticed that he had woken up: "Xiaochi?"

With a hoarse voice, Chi Xiaochi asked nonchalantly, "...is it eight o'clock?"

"It's only three o'clock." 061 said, "Why don't you get more sleep."

The tone of 061's speech coincided with the voice heard by the person in his dream. Chi Xiaochi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched his breast pocket, and at the same time, he felt a tingling pain in his chest.

My chocolate is gone, he thought.

The frenzied heart beat against the injured ribs like drums, but gradually calmed down as the time passed in a daze.

Chi Xiaochi turned over and hugged the sleeping leopard, trying to regain the feeling of holding dog meat in his dream.

061 seemed to have a feeling, and asked him: "What did you dream about?"

"Zhu Shoucheng."

061 was taken aback, the name really caught his ears: "Who?"

"You don't know him." Chi Xiaochi buried his face in his boss's belly, rubbed it comfortably, and said calmly, "The first person I killed."

061:"……"

He didn't remember the experience he had in Chi Xiaochi's life.

But he knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it, so he asked, "Want to see a movie?"

Chi Xiaochi regained his spirit: "Well, look."

One person, one system watched the movie on one screen, and the leopard woke up for a while, held Chi Xiaochi in his arms and sucked a few mouthfuls, then fell asleep next to him.

After a two-hour movie was completely finished, Chi Xiaochi calculated that the time was almost up, so he got up and took a quick shower.

Just as he was applying a hot towel to his face, there were hurried footsteps outside, along with Sun Yan's low but anxious "Deputy Gu, what are you doing?" and a fierce knock on the door.

Chi Xiaochi put the towel back on the towel rack before walking to the door and pulling the latch.

Gu Xinzhi almost fell in, but his gaze fixed on Chi Xiaochi was like a wolf with a terrifying green light, which made people feel numb.

Chi Xiaochi's attitude was gentle, and he said to Sun Yan: "Wait outside."

Although he was puzzled, the soldier's nature of obeying orders made Sun Yan close the door and stay on guard outside. After all, Gu Xinzhi's mental state seemed very worrying to him.

After the idlers left, Gu Xinzhi pinched his arm, his voice was filled with ecstasy and trembling that he suppressed as much as possible: "Qiu Yun, is it really you?"

Chi Xiaochi instantly assumed Ding Qiuyun's identity.

In other words, it is the identity of Ding Qiuyun after "rebirth" who remembers everything that happened in the previous life.

He sat down by the bed, stroked the boss' tail on the bed with one hand, and responded indifferently to his nervous question: "What do you think?"
