After a while, the two sat down at the porridge shop. Xie Xingmu took the menu from the waiter and asked Yu Chu, "What would you like to eat?"

"Look at it." Yu Chu said.

Xie Xingmu looked at the menu with a slight frown. The sunlight came in from the side window, and the light and shadow made his facial features more three-dimensional. After Yu Chu looked around the environment of the porridge shop, his gaze fell on his face involuntarily.

"This, this, and this..." Xie Xingmu turned sideways, pointed the waiter with the menu, glanced at Yu Chu who was staring at him, and then looked back at the menu.

After he ordered a few dishes, he asked the waiter, "Apart from congee, do you have anything to fill your stomach?"

The waiter thought for a while and asked, "Dim sum?"

"That won't work." Xie Xingmu said, "White rice or noodles."

The waiter said: "Sorry sir, our porridge shop only has porridge."

Xie Xingmu took out his wallet, took out one and handed it to the waiter: "Then please help me go to the noodle shop next door to buy a bowl of beef noodles."

The waiter agreed with a good attitude, and Xie Xingmu added: "Four taels."

"it is good."

After the waiter left with the menu, Yu Chu still looked at him and said, "You really can eat."

"It's okay, it's not too much." Xie Xingmu said.

Yu Chu took another look at his strong chest muscles slightly protruding under the shirt, then looked away, took a sip of the cup of tea in front of her, smacked her lips and said in disgust, "It's not good."

Xie Xingmu also picked up the tea and tasted it: "It's not bad, it's not too bad."

"Can you change the words? Everything is fine." Yu Chu muttered, "It's not as good as the tea that Yu Shiqing gave me."

Xie Xingmu put down his teacup, frowned and looked at him. Yu Chu did not hide or dodge, his eyes responded to his gaze calmly.

"Your life will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future, so you can no longer be so picky." Xie Xingmu said.

Yu Chu asked: "What kind of earth-shaking method?"

Xie Xingmu leaned back in the chair, looked at him with his arms folded, and said calmly: "No one will deliver exquisite food to your room, and there are not too many monkeys. If you encounter danger outside, you have to rely on yourself. No bodyguard will By my side to protect you."

Yu Chu blinked, and her long eyelashes trembled: "You mean, I can leave freely and go to eat anywhere I want, maybe I'm sitting here with you complaining about the taste of tea, and tomorrow I'll be in the north In a certain city, sit in a small restaurant and eat dumplings. And come and go alone, and will never be watched again?"

A smile flashed across Xie Xingmu's eyes, and he said, "You can also say that."

Yu Chu buried her head on the water cup, and without holding it with her hands, she held the rim of the cup with her mouth and lifted it up a little, letting the tea flow into her mouth.

"Tsk, how do you drink water? It will flow out." As soon as Xie Xingmu finished speaking, a stream of tea flowed down the corner of Yu Chu's lips. He quickly put down the teacup in his mouth and stretched out his hand Take the box of tissues next to it.

But the tissue box was taken away by a big hand first, and two tissues were handed in front of him. Yu Chu took it and wiped the corners of his mouth. Xie Xingmu watched his movements, took out two more tissues from the tissue box, and passed his hand directly over the table, To wipe the tea on his chin.

The movements are quite natural, just like what he did when he was Yu Chu's bodyguard.

Yu Chu didn't move and let him dry his chin, watched him throw two balls of paper towels into the trash can next to him, and asked, "No matter where I go from now on, there will be no one around me to fill me with tea, right? ?”

Without waiting for Xie Xingmu to answer, he asked himself and nodded again: "Well, there will be no one."

Xie Xingmu was stunned suddenly, holding the tissue box and not putting it down, Yu Chu turned his head and looked out the window, staring at the birdcage hanging on a tree in the yard, where a parrot was dozing off, nodding his head. little bit.

It was the waiter who opened the door and broke the silence: "Gentlemen, your dishes and porridge are here."

A fine porcelain white cup was placed in front of Yu Chu, several plates of delicate snacks were placed on the table, and finally a large bowl of steaming beef noodles was placed in front of Xie Xingmu.

The waiter handed over the change to Xie Xingmu, said in a warm voice, use it slowly, and returned it.

Yu Chu stirred the porridge in the cup with a small spoon, and when it cooled down, he scooped up a spoonful and fed it into his mouth. He tilted his head and tasted it carefully. He felt that the taste was not bad.

Then eat it spoon by spoon.

Xie Xingmu also started to eat his beef noodles, and from time to time, he mixed a chopstick with cold jellyfish into the noodles, and he ate it deliciously.

After eating, Xie Xingmu pushed the noodle bowl aside, put his elbows on the table and crossed his hands, and asked, "What are your plans for the future? Don't talk about taking one step at a time."

Yu Chu hesitated, and said, "It should be to find a job."

Xie Xingmu pondered for a few seconds, and said, "Yu Chu, you may not know that a diploma is required to find a job now."

"Don't I have a diploma?" Yu Chu asked, tilting her head.

Xie Xingmu said: "No, Yu Shiqing is the tutor hired for you, so you haven't taken any exams, so you don't have a diploma."

"Can't you find any job without a diploma?"

Xie Xingmu paused, and said, "You can find a job without a diploma, but you must have certain abilities or specialties."

"Ability or expertise..." Yu Chu hesitated.

He opened a studio in the original world, specializing in making artificial skins for intelligent people, but he didn't know if it would work in this world, so he hesitated and said, "Actually, I have special skills."

"Huh?" Xie Xingmu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I can make a beautiful skin for your Gundam, as long as you find enough materials for me."

Xie Xingmu: ...

"Agathol preparation, Kryptonium solution, Taiya solution..." Every time Yu Chu said the same thing, Xie Xingmu's face darkened, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he finally said, "Forget it, I'm talking nonsense."

"Ok."

Xie Xingmu picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then went to get the lighter next to him, and when he was about to light it, he remembered something, turned his head and shouted to the outside of the private room: "Waiter, are you allowed to smoke here?"

"Yes." The waiter came in with an ashtray, "Sir, there is a window next to you, you can smoke."

Xie Xingmu pushed open the wooden window next to him, then pressed the lighter in his hand, and after lighting it, he asked Yu Chu, "Do you mind if I smoke here?"

Yu Chu said strangely: "When you were on the island before, you smoked whenever you wanted, and you never asked my opinion."

Xie Xingmu took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke out of the window, and said, "The identities are different."

Yu Chu snorted and said, "I mind."

"Huh?" Xie Xingmu was startled, then turned to look at him.

"I mind." Yu Chu said again.

Xie Xingmu silently picked up the ashtray in front of him, and put out the newly lit cigarette in it again.

He put the cigarette case and lighter in his pocket and said, "Look at what you like to do, and I'll enroll you in a training class."

"Training class?"

"If you want to study, I will enroll you in a cram school and then take the college entrance examination. If you want to work, then find a job that suits you and take a short-term training."

Yu Chu stirred the porridge in front of him with a spoon, thought for a while and said, "I haven't thought it through yet, let's talk about it."

It's a joke, he doesn't want to go to any cram school.

After finishing the meal, Xie Xingmu settled the bill, and the two left the porridge shop.

Standing in front of the porridge shop, Yu Chu turned to look at Xie Xingmu: "Then see you later."

Because he was facing the sun, his eyes narrowed slightly, his fair skin was almost transparent, Xie Xingmu looked at him intently, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and said, "Goodbye."

Yu Chu turned around and walked in the opposite direction. After taking two steps, she heard Xie Xingmu call: "Wait."

He turned back again and saw Xie Xingmu striding towards him and stopped, took out the brown wallet, took out all the thick stacks of cash inside, handed it to Yu Chu and said, "You don't have any money with you now, use it first. "

Yu Chu looked at the stack of money, his eyes lit up, and after reaching out to take it, he stuffed it into his back pocket and said, "Thank you."

Xie Xingmu suddenly stretched out his hand, supported his shoulders and made him turn around. Seeing that the trouser pocket was bulging and half of the banknotes were exposed, he frowned.

He opened his wallet again, took out the documents and bank cards inside and put them in his pocket, then turned Yu Chu around, handed the wallet to him, and said, "Put all the money in it."

Yu Chu took the wallet, took out the cash behind his butt, and slowly stuffed it into the wallet. Xie Xingmu saw that several banknotes were rolled up, but Yu Chu continued to stuff them in without paying attention, and couldn't help but snatched the wallet.

He straightened the banknotes and asked, "Where are the documents? Bring them and I'll pack them."

"What certificate?" Yu Chu asked.

Xie Xingmu looked up at him, and Yu Chu stared at him with big black and white eyes, full of calm.

Just as Xie Xingmu was about to talk about his ID card, he remembered that Yu Chu was rescued by himself from the sea. He had been staying on the island all this time, and he never had the habit of carrying his ID card with him.

"Go back to the criminal investigation brigade. I'll ask the colleague in charge of cleaning up Xingyuan Island if they found your ID card. If you don't find it, you can get a new one."

.

Half an hour later, Yu Chu sat quietly in the office of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, waiting for Xie Xingmu to give him sex.

Not long after, Xie Xingmu strode in, holding a paper bag in his right hand. He hooked his fingers at Yu Chu, and Yu Chu got up and walked over.

Xie Xingmu sent him to the gate of the Public Security Bureau, took out an ID card and handed it to Yu Chu, saying, "I just urgently made up an ID card for you."

"Oh." Yu Chu took it and was about to stuff it into his trouser pocket, and he said, "Put it in the wallet, put it in the interlayer."

Yu Chu took out his wallet again and put his ID card in the mezzanine.

"Okay?" He looked up at Xie Xingmu.

"These are your change of clothes and pajamas." Xie Xingmu handed him the paper bag in his hand.

Yu Chu took the paper bag, Xie Xingmu said: "You wait here for a while, I have already contacted a real estate agency, and they will come to show you the house soon."

"What room are you looking at?" Yu Chu asked.

"Rent a house, Second Young Master, it's impossible for you to think that if you don't rent a house, you will have a place to live?" Xie Xingmu said with a sullen face, "All of Yu Shiqing's property has been frozen and is being liquidated. You have no fixed assets now, no If you rent a house, you can only sleep on the street, drill cement pipes, and stay under the bridge hole, understand

Yu Chuxin said that it was not that he had never slept on the street, cement pipes and bridge holes, but these words must never be said: "But I want to leave here, why rent a house?"

Xie Xingmu frowned: "Leave here, leave Haiyun City? Where are you going?"

He knew the information about Yu Chu. Zheng Shan and Grandma Zhao passed away, and Yu Shiqing was arrested. He had no relatives. On the contrary, there is an older brother, Yu Feng, who is still under investigation together with his mother, but even if those two are released, they still wish that Yu Chu would disappear from this world, so how could they still care about him? So when Yu Chu said that he was going to leave Haiyun City, it was hard to imagine where he would go.

"I'm going to wander." Yu Chu said earnestly, "I love to travel, travel around, watch the sea, climb snow-capped mountains, and I want to travel all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland."

He hadn't really thought about going homeless.

He longs for freedom, but he doesn't want to be a wanderer anymore. He wants to have his own fixed residence, a house of his own, and he doesn't have to think about where he will sleep tonight after getting up every day.

But he didn't know what was going on with him, and he blurted out this sentence suddenly, as if he had a subtle emotion, just wanting to see Xie Xingmu worry about him.

Xie Xingmu was really anxious. He recognized that this was the opening line of a travel show that Yu Chu was watching recently, and the veins on his forehead couldn't help but twitch: "You don't even have money, where are you going to travel? The one I gave you Some money, what will I do when I run out? Go to the hotel to see which one is getting married, and sneak in for a meal?"

Yu Chu said, "I won't let myself go hungry."

Xie Xingmu's handsome face flashed a trace of irritability, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give it back to me."

"what?"

"I have no money in my wallet, and I can't even buy a train ticket. Let me see where else you can go wandering. If you don't want to study or go to training courses, do you still want to wander?"

Yu Chu nimbly pressed her back pocket: "No, this is my money."
