middle of the road

When the car drove downstairs, Cheng Ying and Cheng Le had fallen asleep silently. Chi Yu paid the money and went down first with her schoolbag. She was still thinking about whether to wake them up or just fight. Cheng Le rubbed his eyes and woke up. Seeing that he had arrived, he climbed out of the car and took his schoolbag.

Chi Yu hugged Cheng Ying down, let her pillow on his shoulder, and closed the door with one hand.

"Go straight in." Chi Yu said.

Cheng Le gave a soft "um" and walked in front of him with his schoolbag on his back. He was a small one under the street lamp, with his head lowered, and his back looked worried.

I don't know why, Chi Yu felt a little bit of loneliness from the elongated shadow.

He laughed at himself, such a young child, how could he know what loneliness is, maybe there will be poverty, but at an age where he doesn't have much knowledge and desire for money, this is not a trouble for him.

He should be just worried about his brother now.

Chi Yu thought of Cheng Yang, the person who always protected them carefully and rushed to the front, what was he thinking now?

Fu Jin had already taken them to dinner, and there was nothing left to wash. Cheng Ying woke up after going upstairs, sat on the sofa playing with her pigtails and didn't speak.

Chi Yu taught Le to use the water heater, and told him which ones were for bathing and which ones were for shampooing. He went downstairs to buy their underwear and some children's toothpaste along the way.

When they came back, both of them had washed and sat on the sofa in long johns. Fortunately, the air conditioner in the living room would not be too cold. Chi Yu asked them to go to the quilt in their room to warm up for a while. tidy.

After the quilt was covered and the sheets were laid, Chi Yu closed his eyes and almost fell asleep. He tried his best to get everything done, and saw that they were all asleep before he had time to tidy himself up.

Everything in the bathroom was neatly put in place, the towels and panties were washed together, and they were hung on the hanger to dry. From the time they came in to the present, they have never said a word about what they want, just take a shower if they want to take a bath, let them take a bath. Just sleep when you sleep, Chi Yu thinks this is probably the most sensible child he has ever seen.

Chi Yu had a younger sister who was only two years old when she left. Although she doted on her very much, she had to admit that the little girl was very naughty. She liked to sit on him and ride a horse. She often woke him up by pulling his hair in the morning, or Stamped on him as he lay, as if he couldn't stop for a moment.

Chi Yu can't guarantee that when she grows up to Cheng Ying's age, she will be as quiet and well-behaved as her, she must have been spoiled by him long ago.

But it may also be because their elder brother is Cheng Yang, facing such a face that is always serious and indifferent, no amount of lawless character has the guts to show up.

Chi Yu went to bed very early that night, and slept until ten o'clock in the morning, and slept for a full twelve hours. When he woke up, he saw the two children sitting at the dining table in the living room doing their homework. He was surprised and remembered them. I didn't eat breakfast, so I hurried to heat the milk and fried three eggs.

After eating, Cheng Le ran to wash the dishes, but Chi Yu didn't grab them. There were only two dishes in total, so just wash them. He asked them to do their homework at home in the afternoon. There are snacks under the TV cabinet. If you want to eat, take them yourself. But don't eat too much, there will be aunts coming to cook at noon.

After giving these instructions, he took a taxi to the hospital. A good man will do his best. Before Cheng Yang is discharged from the hospital, he should be watching, lest he vomit like that and want to run home.

The ward was fairly quiet today. Chi Yu saw that Cheng Yang had fruit and several large packs of snacks on the bedside, and guessed that he had paid for it, but he probably didn't talk to Cheng Yang, because even he sat there for a while. Yes, Cheng Yang is still asleep.

The Rubik's cube on the cabinet that I didn't have time to take away has already been spelled out with six sides. What time did you go to bed, or did you not sleep all night?

Cheng Yang didn't turn his back this time, but turned towards him, his face was a little bloodier than yesterday, the sun shone in from the window, and in the floating fine dust, his body, which was gently undulating due to breathing, was sprinkled. A layer of soft light seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Chi Yu brought a book here today, and after reading four or five pages, he didn't know what he was reading, and finally managed to read it in, and Cheng Yang woke up.

Opening his eyes and seeing him, Cheng Yang said, "You..." He thought Chi Yu said he wouldn't bring them over last night because he couldn't come with him.

"What's wrong with me?" Chi Yu looked at him, "Is it better?"

"Ah."

Chi Yu put down the book, "I'll ask the doctor later."

Cheng Yang: "..."

Cheng Yang sat up, "Then why are you asking so much?"

"The patient's feelings are of course the basis for judgment, but it's another matter if the patient is disobedient. Do you have an appetite?" It's past twelve o'clock, and he probably hasn't eaten breakfast. "Or come here at twenty like yesterday?"

"No need." Cheng Yang lifted the quilt, "I'll go down by myself..."

Chi Yu subconsciously stopped, pressed his hand, and fixed him on the bed with the quilt.

Cheng Yang glanced at him, then turned to the other side, Chi Yu passed him without thinking, followed that side and also fixed.

Cheng Yang: "..."

Chi Yu: "Hey, can you show me a little respect, I sent you here and stayed with you for two days, is this your attitude?"

Half of Chi Yu was on his bed, his posture was a bit awkward, and at this moment he was sitting, the two of them were very close, he could even feel the faint breath blowing towards him when he spoke.

Cheng Yang didn't move any more, just looked at him like this, his brows tightened a little bit, "Let go."

Chi Yu may also realize how ambiguous this posture is. During the few seconds when the air was frozen, he didn't dare to look aside, for fear that there would be someone outside the door at this time, or the uncle next door would suddenly wake up.

The situation in front of him was not his original intention, but Cheng Yang's suddenly cold face made him feel uncomfortable again, so he let him go, "If you like it, you can eat it or not."

Said to go out.

"Chi Yu." Cheng Yang called him, and it was the first time he called his name in his impression. Chi Yu stopped and heard his voice deliberately slowed down behind him, "I'll go with you."

Chi Yu really wanted to say no, my young master is not rare, I will eat in your cafeteria, and I will depend on you for a few fucking meals, so I am sorry for my own appetite.

Unable to hold back, he turned his head back, seeing Cheng Yang standing by the bed, he swallowed his words again, and sneered disdainfully, "Are you treating me?"

"Ah."

"wear clothes."

Today, the wind outside is a bit strong, blowing in all directions makes it hard to tell the direction, Cheng Yang walks very slowly, it can be seen that the person is still ignorant, Chi Yu follows him, and finds that he takes every step very hard, as if afraid I will fall down.

He wanted to see at first that he could really walk so far with him to eat without leaving the gate of the hospital, so Chi Yu decided to go nearby, and found a house that was clean and inexpensive.

When ordering, he specifically told the kitchen to use less oil, and it is best to stir fry.

Cheng Yang probably didn't lie to her, his condition was indeed better than yesterday, and he ate half a bowl of rice in accordance with his schedule, and he didn't put his chopsticks to pay the bill until he finished eating.

In the afternoon, Chi Yu continued to read, and Cheng Yang scrambled the Rubik's Cube. According to him, he would try again for the second time, without using his brain very much, just to practice hand speed.

Chi Yu saw that he was inserting the needle in his right hand and could turn it with the coordination of a few fingers on his left hand, so he ignored him. So he spent the whole afternoon amidst the "click, click, click" sound of the plastic constantly rubbing, turning a book. The book is finished.

"I'm going to school tomorrow, and I'll help you and Ah Huang take two days off."

"Well, don't talk about my hospitalization." Cheng Yang stopped and looked at his hands.

Chi Yu guessed that he should be counting, looked up at him several times, he was holding the Rubik's Cube in his hand like this, memorizing the colors repeatedly, verifying back and forth, it seems that there is more than one kind of calculation, really according to what he said to practice hand speed, Tired of playing by this time.

"Then what are you talking about?" Chi Yu took the things out of his hands.

"My grandfather Erqi."

"..."

"He should have no objection to the funeral customs in the countryside."

"He will have an opinion when you are hospitalized?"

Cheng Yang shook his head and said nothing.

Chi Yu guessed that he didn't want too many people to know, including the part-time job, he also asked for leave for other reasons, "The last time I didn't come to school for so many days, because your grandpa passed away?"

"Yeah." Cheng Yang looked at him, "When can I be discharged from the hospital?"

"Ask the doctor, ask me what I'm doing." Chi Yu stood up and stretched, "I'll buy the food for you later, and then I'll go back to check the primary school students' homework."

"They should be quite obedient." Cheng Yang said: "You let them do some things by themselves."

"It's quite obedient." Chi Yu put down his hands and glanced at him slowly, "Better obedient than you."

"..."

Before Chi Yu left, he told him that he would come back after school tomorrow, and asked the doctor to nod, so he was discharged from the hospital. He found a piece of paper, wrote down his phone number, and asked him to call him if he had anything to do.

"Thanks……"

"Don't." Chi Yu interrupted him, "It's a new trick, I'm tired of hearing it."

Cheng Yang didn't listen to him, so he finished his thanks.

Chi Yu sighed, "Do you know how to be polite? Let's go on, I won't be able to feel your sincerity if you don't make a promise to me someday."

Cheng Yang also ignored his joke, and Chi Yu expected that he would not react, so he didn't care about it, and finally peeled another apple, cut a small piece into his mouth, and handed the rest to him.

Cheng Yang took it, and pointed at his chin when he turned around, "Remember to take some medicine."

"Huh?" He forgot even if he didn't say anything, Chi Yu touched it with his hand, but the scab hadn't completely scabbed over yet, "It's just a small injury, let's go."

Chi Yu took a taxi downstairs, and when he was still in the elevator, he heard someone talking from their house, he knew it was Fu Jin without guessing, he opened the door and went in, and saw a couple eating, "Why are you here? "

"I came here when I thought about it." Fu Jin said, "Come and see the two of them, where have you been?"

"I am busy."

Fu Jin didn't care what he said about something, "Where's the meal, have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Chi Yu changed his shoes to wash his hands, and Fu Jin went into the kitchen to serve him a bowl of rice.

Chi Yu sat down and saw that Cheng Ying and Cheng Le had already finished their meal, as if they would not move unless he told them, he smiled, "Let's watch some TV."

After eating and washing the dishes, he took advantage of this time to check the homework and signed it imitating Cheng Yang's handwriting.

After taking a shower at night, Fu Jin lay on the bed sullenly, asked him what was wrong and didn't say anything, so Chi Yu let him go. Anyway, during this period of time, he seemed to be like this when he was related to Cheng Yang, and he seemed to be like this when he was not related to Cheng Yang. so.

Fu Jin didn't care about anything on the outside, but his mind was more sensitive than ordinary people. He actually wanted to ask if it had something to do with Jiang Mingyang, so he didn't open his mouth to see if he really wanted to talk.

"What's in your hand?" Fu Jin asked, his hands hadn't stopped since he sat there.

Chi Yu held it up for him to see, a Rubik's cube.

"Where did it come from?"

"I bought it." I didn't know what was wrong, he twisted and twisted, but there was still a piece of color on one side that couldn't be turned over. He followed the tutorial on the basis of the original Cheng Yang, but after a night, it was still not good. step.

Chi Yu finally tried again and gave up. He held it under the desk lamp for a while and put it in a drawer.
