Boss, your dragon!

After the car stopped, Qian You tossed the key to Zhu Yun, and said briefly: "Just drive to the company, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." After she finished speaking, she walked away gracefully with her long legs.

Pikachu twisted his fingers: "Sister is so fierce."

Bai also nodded, feeling sorry for her.

Zhu Yun turned away expressionlessly: "I forgot to introduce, she will be your manager from now on..."

Bai: "..." Is it too late to quit the circle now?

Seemingly seeing what he was thinking, Zhu Yun said pitifully, "Take care."

A few people walked towards the gate of the park, and a huge white bird suddenly jumped down in mid-air.Zhu Yun was taken aback, but saw Bai raised his arm and made her stop firmly on the forearm.

The egret chirped and croaked, complaining with snot and tears about the tragic situation in the park after he left.Following her, sparrows and seagulls swarmed up, crying and screaming.

Bai got a headache from hearing this, and frowned slightly: "Speak slowly, what's wrong with the park?"

"Ah?" Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered about the demolition.Last night was so exciting that he actually forgot about it!

Zhu Yun felt guilty for some reason: "...Central Park is going to be demolished."

After saying this, the row of sparrows on the courtyard wall seemed to give him a hard look.Zhu Yun touched his nose resentfully, but Bai Bai turned his face and said: "Don't be rude, and it's none of his business."

Zhu Yun blinked: "Are you... talking to the bird?"

Bai nodded.Zhu Yun was a little curious, and was about to ask what they were chattering about, when Bai frowned: "You're not allowed to swear."

Okay, the co-author is scolding him.Facing the condemning gazes, Zhu Yun couldn't help whispering: "The planning bureau has already decided on the demolition of the park, and there's nothing I can do about it..."

Bai shook his head: "No need to apologize, it's just a park, it will be demolished as soon as it is demolished."

The birds were so startled that they dropped their melon seeds: God damn it, just tear it down!That's your home, right?

Bai raised his arms to let the egret fly, and said softly, "Go, let's go in and have a look first."

Compared with the day before, today's park is even more tragic. There are piles of dug up soil everywhere, like traps all over the ground.The person in charge still remembered Zhu Yun, threw three hard hats from the window, and let them in.

Walking to the lake, even Zhu Yun couldn't help being silent.The smoky artificial lake was completely drained, revealing the ugly uneven riverbed, the aquatic plants lost their graceful figure, lying dead at the bottom of the pit, waiting to die under the scorching sun.

The three brothers who pumped the water machine were in charge of the bulldozer today. When they saw Zhu Yun, they greeted warmly: "Comrade, are you here?"

The sharp little eyes of the sparrow immediately came over: I have already signed the greetings, and still say that it is none of your business?

Zhu Yun said awkwardly, "Well...here we are."

The team leader jumped off the machine and walked to him: "Oh, there are so many strange things happening in this park. You know, the machine stopped here last night. When I saw it this morning, the windshield was covered with bird droppings! "

Zhu Yun: "..."

"If it wasn't for the security guards on duty, we would have suspected that the outsiders were deliberately sabotaging and throwing shit," he said while elbowing Zhu Yun, "Brother, tell me, why is it so evil!"

Zhu Yun smiled dryly: "Yes, hehe." Before he finished speaking, another lump of bird feces fell from the sky and smashed on the captain's helmet.

"Damn it." The squad leader cursed in a low voice, turned around cursing, and went to the toilet to clean it.

Only Zhu Yun and Bai were left by the lake.Bai Yanyan stood there, staring blankly at the dry lake.Zhu Yun felt a little guilty, so he tugged at his arm: "Don't look at it."

Bai looked back and sighed.

Zhu Yun cautiously said, "You... really lived at the bottom of the lake?"

Bai nodded, his blue eyes blinked pitifully: "The company dormitory is shared, and there is no bathtub."

He lived in the park for so long just for a bathtub?Zhu Yun was suddenly full of paternity, full of sympathy for the impoverished aliens, and patted his chest and promised: "I will find you a house for you."

Bai tilted his head, his pure eyes were full of longing: "Can't I live in your house?"

"..." Zhu Yun coughed twice, "Don't push yourself too hard. Your pheromone..."

Hearing these three words, Bai Deng immediately froze, and said aggrievedly: "Okay." He turned around and dug out a broken travel bag with advertisements printed on it from the bushes, which seemed to be all his belongings.

too poor!It's too awful!Zhu Yun couldn't bear to look, and looked at the sky: "Before finding a suitable house, let's live in a hotel under the Zhu family first."

Bai hesitated: "The hotel may be a bit... inconvenient." He pointed to the pigeons, seagulls, sparrows and egrets squatting in a row on the treetops: "They have nowhere to go."

Zhu Yun: "..." Where can so many birds live?zoo?

But now that he has boasted to Haikou, Zhu Yun has no choice but to slap his swollen face to pretend to be fat.He thought for a while: "Forget it, get in the car first, I think of a place."

What Qian You left them was a silver Audi coupe. In order to fit the long-necked bird, Zhu Yun simply opened the hood.

Zhu Yun and Bai sat in the front row, and the little lizard was squeezed in the back seat with a bunch of feathered animals, sneezing from time to time because of the fluff.He has never seen so many birds and animals since he was born, and he couldn't help touching their soft wings with great care. His green eyes were wet, and he turned to Bai expectantly: "Can I eat it?"

Hula la.Pikachu suddenly spread out a vacuum circle around him.

Bai brutally rejected him.Are you kidding me? These are his own food reserves. After raising them for so long, how can they make it cheaper for others?

Unfortunately, Pikachu could only drooling and stroking furiously.He exuded a strong predatory smell, which made the feathers of their birds scatter, and made a lot of noise along the way.When I stopped at the intersection of traffic lights, I was even surrounded by amazed passers-by.

Finally, the car drove out of the urban area and drove along the Panshan Highway to the depths of the greenery.

The courtyard door full of fallen leaves slowly opened, revealing a beautiful single-family villa with red bricks and black tiles.When he left last time, Zhu Yun took all the materials with him, thinking that he would not come back in a short time, but he did not expect to come here again so soon.

Thinking of Comrade Xu Nuo who was bumped into the rear of the car next door, he picked the steering wheel a little guilty.

As soon as we entered the yard, the birds that were full of cars spread their wings and scattered, each of them snatched up their favorite places and nested in.The yard is five to six hundred square meters, and if it is not enough to live in, there is the back mountain. Bailu stared at it intently and exclaimed: "Master Bai, you are rich and prosperous!"

Bai didn't speak, he keenly noticed that Zhu Yun seemed a little depressed.

Zhu Yun also entered Bai's fingerprint into the door lock system, and then opened the door to enter.The living room was as cold as last time, with a thin layer of dust covering the warm oak-colored floor.

The little lizard was not yet proficient in walking, so he moved two steps and stumbled on the soft modular sofa.He struggled to raise his head from the cushion, his eyes lit up, and he began to climb up and down excitedly, and finally nestled in a pile of sofa cushions, sighing contentedly.

Zhu Yun couldn't help raising the corners of his lips: "You guys just live here first. It's very quiet here, but it's a bit far away. There are still a few cars in the garage. Can you drive it?"

Bai nodded: "Yes." He stood in the living room with his hands behind his back, looked up at the family portrait, and said softly, "You were so cute when you were young."

Zhu Yun followed with a glance: "Well, it's not young. I was in middle school at that time, and I was probably about the same age as Pikachu."

Bai's expression was a little weird: "He... is actually over 50 years old."

Zhu Yun: "...pretend I didn't say it." Oh, you non-human beings are so annoying!

In the photo, little Zhu Yun is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a straight shirt, standing like a young poplar.He didn't smile, but stared at the camera, with soft black hair, a half-shaded forehead, and amber cat eyes that looked rounder than they are now, full of sly light, and looked like a big kid .

Bai stuck out his fingers, sketched his outline vaguely, and laughed softly.

In the kitchen, Zhu Yun climbed up the cupboard, turned on the electric switch, heating and hot water, and explained in a rambling manner: "The stove is an induction cooker. The guest bedroom is at the end of the second floor, and there is a bathtub in the room..."

After thinking about it, he added: "If the bathtub is too small, you can also use the swimming pool outside, although it's a bit colder in winter."

Bai withdrew his hand, his eyes lit up: "Swimming pool?"

"Hmm... want to see it?" Zhu Yun led him through the corridor, and a 25 square pool appeared in front of him, covered with exquisite sea blue mosaic tiles. Unfortunately, the pool was in disrepair for a long time, and the bottom was covered with dust and fallen leaves.Zhu Yun was a little embarrassed, touched his nose: "Well, maybe I have to clean up."

Bai smiled and rolled up his sleeves: "I'll do it." He took off his shoes decisively, picked up the water pipe and started working.He wasn't afraid of the cold, so he filled half a pool of cold water and jumped into it.Zhu Yun stood watching, couldn't help hissing for him, rubbed his arms and prepared to go back to the house.

Bai suddenly stopped him: "Zhu Yun."

"Ok?"

Bai lay on the edge of the swimming pool: "This...is your home too?"

Zhu Yun was stunned, paused, and said: "It was before. But it hasn't been for a long time."

Bai smiled slightly, and said softly: "'Home' and 'place to live' are two different concepts."

"Maybe." Zhu Yun turned around and walked back into the house without opening his eyes.

A large pot of hot water was boiled on the induction cooker, and steam gushed out, warming the cold weather.Through the water vapor, Zhu Yun looked out the window. The previously bleak courtyard was now very lively, with birds chasing and frolicking, and even two or three squirrels squatting on the treetops to look at him timidly.

Zhu Yun was a little distracted, and suddenly remembered a fairy tale, as if a giant had a beautiful garden, but never allowed others to enter it.Finally, even spring was shut out, and the garden withered.It was not until he reopened the garden that the eternal winter slowly faded away, and the roses bloomed and the nightingales sang.

The original intention of this story is to teach children not to be selfish, but Zhu Yun thought of something else.He wiped off the excess water vapor on the glass, thinking, the long winter in his life...has it finally passed?

There was a slight noise outside the kitchen, Zhu Yun turned his head, and saw the little lizard holding the door frame, carefully sticking out half of his head, softly: "...Hungry."

Zhu Yun's expression softened, and he smiled: "It will be ready soon." As he said, he sprinkled a lot of noodles into the pot.The handmade plain noodles taste very good, slender and chewy, with a slight wheat fragrance.It's a pity that there are no side dishes at home, Zhu Yun can only mix three bowls of noodle soup with soy sauce.

He thought for a while, put on his shoes again, and walked into the yard with the scissors in hand.Sure enough, the wild onions under the window sill were still there.He picked a handful of the freshest green ones, washed them and cut them into pieces and spread them on the surface, barely adding some attractive color.

Zhu Yun walked into the restaurant with shallot and soy sauce noodle soup, but saw Bai's torn package lying on the stool without even zipping it up.He curled his lips, planning to put it on the second floor, when he suddenly noticed that something seemed to flicker inside.

Zhu Yun paused with his fingers, and slowly opened the zipper again.There are only a few simple cotton clothes in the bag, and the only silk fabric is an old plain white handkerchief.At this moment, one corner of the veil spread out, revealing a little silver hard shell.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yun stretched out his hand and held the little thing in his palm—it was an exquisite pocket watch, an old retro style, the pattern on the surface was almost smoothed, and it seemed that it had been caressed countless times by the owner.

Zhu Yun's heart moved, and he popped open the case, only to see that the glass on the dial was completely broken, and the hands stayed at 05:30.But what caught his attention was a small black and white portrait embedded inside the watch case. The image was very blurry, but it could be vaguely seen that it was Bai himself.

The young man has deep brows and far-sighted eyes, with a clear outline. He is wearing an elegant retro plaid three-piece suit. He seems a little nervous. The corners of his lips are slightly raised when facing the camera. He has a gentle temperament, but he is much more immature than now.

Zhu Yun stretched out his hand to touch his eyebrows and eyes, and couldn't help but want to laugh: So Bai came here so early, and he was considered a modern youth at the beginning, and I don't know how he got so miserable later.

——Maybe it’s because after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he couldn’t become a master?

There seemed to be a piece of paper inserted in the interlayer behind the photo. Zhu Yun just wanted to take it out to have a look, when he heard footsteps coming from the porch.He moved quickly, rewrapped the pocket watch, stuffed it back into the luggage bag, and turned around as if nothing had happened.

Bai wiped his wet hair and walked in: "The swimming pool has been cleaned up."

Zhu Yun took his towel naturally: "Eat something at noon. I have to go back to the meeting in the afternoon. Tell me what ingredients you want to eat, and I will bring them over for dinner."

Hearing this, Pikachu was super excited and knocked on the bowl: "Fatty meat!"

Bai thought about it for a while, then parted his thin lips lightly: "Fuck it."

Zhu Yun: "..." It was a mistake to ask them.

The author has something to say:

Bai: I want to eat meat (squinting at the author
