Chapter 53

Cheng Ke felt that life was very unfriendly to him. Originally, it was miserable that he couldn't use his right hand, but there was still so much to do.

He called for a car. The car could have been driving all the way downstairs and then parked. But today, it was only one or two hundred meters away from the downstairs.

Cheng Ke has lived here for so long, and he only knows that two roads can lead to his downstairs, this one, and the one entering from the east gate. At this moment, he can't ask the driver to exit and enter through the east gate. , can only open the door and get out of the car.

At this time, he will feel that it is a good thing to have Jiang Yuduo by his side. No matter what goal or living habits Jiang Yuduo has, he will know the terrain in many places where he will stay for a while. In the current situation, it is estimated that Jiang Yuduo can provide drivers with at least two more ways to get around.

After getting out of the car, he didn't take a few steps. He slipped back with his unzippered jacket on one arm, and the wind suddenly blew half of his body numb.

He twisted for a long time and tried to use his left hand to go around behind him and pull the coat back, but he was unsuccessful. He could only grab the coat from the right side with his left hand and pulled it to the front, as if he was wearing a cassock, all the way before he was completely frozen. Run into the corridor.

Fortunately, the security room was on the left, and the security guard was answering the phone again. When he saw him coming in, he just shouted, "Mr. Cheng is back."

"Ah, you're busy." Cheng Ke dragged his jacket and quickly entered the elevator.

As soon as he got home, he threw his coat to the ground a little irritably, and then stood in the middle of the living room not knowing what to do.

The house that had been away for a month, he was going to come back to live for one night, and he felt a little clueless.

Should the dust be wiped first, or the water should be boiled first, or the bed should be made first...

After standing for a while and making plans, he started to work. He first boiled the water, then turned on the sweeping robot, and then took off a rag and began to wipe the dust.

Wiping the dust is probably the easiest of all things. All the planes are swiped a few times, and it is not difficult for the left hand.

After all this was done, it didn't take much time, but when he walked into the bedroom, all the little sense of accomplishment he had had before was gone.

After the vacuum cleaner sucked the mattress, he opened the cabinet and had the urge to call Jiang Yuduo and ask him to make the bed cover for him.

But he gritted his teeth and held back. Now not only was Jiang Yuduo holding him back, he himself also told Jiang Yuduo not to be too considerate. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and asked someone to come over to make the bed. No matter what he thought, he felt ashamed. .

In the end, he used the sandwich method. The sheets were shaken a few times, and it was impossible to lay them flat. Just lay out an area where he could sleep. Then he threw the quilt up, and then took out the quilt and pressed it on. Even if you can.

It just looks a little miserable, but I don't feel it when I fall asleep.

He didn't want to appreciate his own work for even a second, so he walked out of the bedroom and planned to take a shower and watch TV before going to bed.

The phone rang.

He picked it up and looked at it, it was Jiang Yuduo who sent it.

- Are you ready

Cheng Ke replied with a voice: "Packed up."

Before the phone was put down, Jiang Yuduo called.

"Didn't I say pack up?" Cheng Ke answered the phone.

"The bed is also made?" Jiang Yuduo seemed a little surprised, "Can you make the bed?"

"Well, it's paved, anyway..." Cheng Ke thought for a while, "It's paved anyway."

"It's piled up layer by layer." Jiang Yuduo said.

"...Yes." Cheng Ke glanced at the pile of things on the bed, "But it doesn't affect sleep."

"I just wanted to tell you," Jiang Yuduo said, "you can ... go in directly through the opening of the quilt, and then put the quilt on top, so that it won't slip away and won't clump together."

"Like a sleeping bag?" Cheng Ke was stunned.

"Yes." Jiang Yuduo said.

Cheng Ke felt empowered in an instant, and his whole body became transparent: "Third brother, you are really a little clever!"

"Scared me, thought you were going to say that I was a little cutie," Jiang Yuduo sighed, "I'll go look for you tomorrow and go to the hotel with you to get something?"

Cheng Ke was in a good mood. He didn't care about the reaction to the pretty little cutie. He also forgot that he had never hesitated to figure out whether to move back immediately, so he responded directly, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, he regained his senses, but the words have already been said, so he can only move back and talk about it.

Compared to whether or not to move back, how to take a bath is the most painful thing for him at the moment. He must not take a bath today, but when he was washing, he still stood under the nozzle and simulated it, trying to raise his right arm against the wall. On, holding the spray head in the left hand, so that it can almost wash...

He nodded with satisfaction, and when he put the nozzle back, the scene of Jiang Yuduo helping him bathe suddenly flashed in his mind.

And it's not that serious bath scene where we're just good friends.

Simply unsightly.

He quickly turned around and picked up the toothbrush. Looking at himself in the mirror, he kept reminding, Mr. Cheng Ke, please restrain yourself a little.

But to be honest, it didn't work very well, especially before the picture disappeared, and he thought of the kiss Jiang Yuduo left on the tip of his nose.

Although there is no feeling... Yes, there is no feeling, but the action itself is quite explosive, once the actual touch and imagination are combined.

Mr. Cheng Ke was not able to restrain himself.

Fortunately, reason reminded him that his left hand was not the dominant hand, so he stopped himself in time.

Jiang Yuduo stood behind the curtain and looked out. One of the street lights outside was blind during the New Year's Eve, and it has not been repaired. Now the corner diagonally opposite is darker than before, and it is difficult to see if there is anyone.

If it was before, he would have waited patiently or went out to check if he felt someone was there, but today he did not. After standing behind the curtain for a few minutes, he turned and walked away.

Sister Luo said, when you feel that you can't get rid of them, try to ignore them.

Although this sentence was based on his "sickness", he decided to give it a try when the other party did not take any further action and he should be able to cope with emergencies.

Try to ignore.

This is a bit dangerous for him. Once they appear and are out of his sight, anything can happen.

… it is also possible that nothing will happen.

Jiang Yuduo looked down at the scar on his palm.

How the scar came from, he may or may not know, and sometimes he can't judge what happened to him.

Maybe anything can happen, maybe nothing will happen.

Many times the only thing he can be sure of is his own fears.

He can ignore many things, even the truth.

But only fear cannot be ignored.

Fear is a real thing, not from so-called imagination and emotion, but from reality.

Jiang Yuduo has never been so eager to "become" a "normal person" like this month.

His life has always been normal to him, his friends, his little brothers, all getting along is natural and normal.

Those who had been doubted and shaken were finally gone, his world undisturbed.

Until Cheng Ke appeared.

The state he was in when he was with Cheng Ke was something he had never been in before. Maybe he had never seen such an embarrassed young master, let alone someone who couldn't even hit the gas stove and water heater. The attention has surpassed that of a normal, non-hazardous stranger.

Cheng Ke used the image of a waste he had never seen before to create a strong sense of existence.

The relationship after that seemed natural, but it was outside his scope.

He has never had such an encounter with such a person, a person outside his world, a sand painting master who would pay a lot of money to invite him to perform, a person who can talk in his sleep with "the day is full of mountains" People other than poetry...

And when Cheng Ke faced him, he didn't have the consciousness that he should have when facing "third brother". In the eyes of many people, it may be regarded as contempt, but here he feels relaxed.

In front of Cheng Ke, he would put down certain disguises, give the most natural reaction, and say the least thoughtful words without even realizing it.

Perhaps because of that, he wanted the friend who made his world a more real place to be there all the time.

He was afraid that Cheng Ke would disappear.

Although Cheng Ke never said a single word, even if he was suspicious, he seldom showed it, but every question Cheng Ke asked was accurately poked in the most sensitive part of his heart.

He had to start being a "normal person".

Tired, but now he has no regrets.

Meow went in and out of bed several times that night, and once sat on his head. He knew that there were several cars passing by outside, and a young couple was arguing quietly outside the backyard when the chickens were crowing.

The man was very long-winded. He questioned the relationship between the girl and a male colleague back and forth. Jiang Yuduo listened carefully for a while. The male colleague gave all the female colleagues a piece of chocolate on Valentine's Day. .

So boring, idiot.

The girl should think like him, and finally ended the quarrel with a slap in the face.

Hearing the footsteps, the two of them walked together.

Jiang Yuduo wanted to laugh a little.

It's too hard to fall in love... What if it's two men

Jiang Yuduo thought of Cheng Ke. Cheng Ke was 30, no, he was 28. A middle-aged reserve soldier must have been in love with another man. Wouldn't that be so stupid

Probably not. When Cheng Ke is working, he feels very calm and neat. If he is in love, it should not be so annoying.

Then if the pretty... cutie is annoying, what will Cheng Ke do

Gee.

It's really idle. I can't sleep in bed most of the night and worry about whether Cheng Ke will become a fool when he falls in love.

He turned over, fished the meow over, buried his face on its stomach, couldn't sleep, so let's just squint for a while, to give the body the illusion that he had already slept all night.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and Cheng Ke was woken up by the sound of firecrackers downstairs early in the morning.

Although notices prohibiting the setting off of fireworks are posted everywhere in the community, the sound of firecrackers is still much more lively than that of the hotel.

Cheng Ke yawned, this movement will only become more and more lively, and if he wants to sleep again, he will not be able to sleep.

He is about to get up. Today Jiang Yuduo is going to accompany him to the hotel to pick up his luggage, but he still has to go to the store to have a look. The most important leisure area will be tiled on the wall today, and some of the green plants will be delivered. He has to arrange for someone to put it away first...

When sitting up, he habitually stretched out his right hand and propped it on the bed.

The moment the plaster touched the mattress, the feeling of wood in his hand made him react suddenly.

Ahhh! Wrists, wrists, wrists are fucking broken!

He didn't dare to exert any force, so he could only withdraw the strength of his hands immediately, let himself fall back on the bed with one side of the dog chewing shit, and then sat up on the bed with his left hand.

"Fuck." He looked at his right hand, but fortunately he reacted in time.

When Jiang Yuduo's call came, Cheng Ke had just finished taking a shower, and when he answered the phone, he heard Jiang Yuduo's brisk voice.

"Are you up? Don't eat breakfast, I'll take it there," Jiang Yuduo sounded like a primary school student who was going for a spring outing, "Do you still want to eat that glutinous rice dumpling last time?"

Although Cheng Ke felt that there was nothing particularly pleasant in this early morning, he was still infected by his state: "Okay, can you make a bigger one, the last time was not enough."

"I'll buy you two, the big ones are not as delicious as the small ones." Jiang Yuduo said.

"Okay." Cheng Ke responded.

"Have you brushed your teeth?" Jiang Yuduo asked again.

"... I did," Cheng Ke said. "Although I haven't showered, it's fine to brush my teeth and wash my face."

"Can you brush with your left hand?" Jiang Yuduo asked.

"Electric toothbrush, just put it in your mouth," Cheng Ke sighed, "Don't you want to help me brush my teeth, third brother?"

"No, I want to bring you a pack of mouthwash." Jiang Yuduo said.

"No, you can just bring two glutinous rice dumplings here." Cheng Ke said.

After hanging up the phone, he remembered that he forgot to tell Jiang Yuduo that he still had a lot of things to do today, so he couldn't go to the hotel to get something and leave.

He frowned, this "reunion after a long absence" was probably a little too exciting. He seemed to often follow Jiang Yuduo's train of thought, and he could forget things just by talking.

I don't know if it was unintentional, or if he just wanted to do it subconsciously.

"Enough?" Jiang Yuduo took out two dumplings from his clothes after entering the door.

"Enough," Cheng Ke took it, the dumpling was still a little hot, "Have you eaten?"

"No, let's eat together, I finished it first and now it's so uncomfortable to see you eating," Jiang Yuduo took out three more dumplings and two packets of soy milk, "and soy milk."

Cheng Ke looked at him: "You stuffed a lot of it, won't it fall out?"

"Hold it in your pocket," Jiang Yuduo said, "Can't you understand this?"

"Why did you eat three." Cheng Ke changed the subject.

"Because I want to eat three, you said that you want two, and you said enough a second ago," Jiang Yuduo took a step back, "Do you want to grab it?"

"Not necessarily," Cheng Ke picked up a dumpling and took a bite, "if I don't have enough, I will..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked up and found that half of the dumplings in Jiang Yuduo's hand had been eaten.

"What the hell are you doing!" He was speechless.

"Who knows, if you really want to rob, I can't beat you as a disabled person." Jiang Yuduo gulps as he speaks.

"When you go back and see three and a half years old, remember to call him brother." Cheng Ke took a sip of soy milk.

"He is four years old." Jiang Yuduo said.

"Oh, then you have to be called Uncle." Cheng Ke said.

Jiang Yuduo laughed for a long time.

After eating breakfast, going downstairs and seeing a taxi coming, Cheng Ke remembered that he hadn't discussed today's itinerary with Jiang Yuduo.

He suddenly had a feeling that he was doing it on purpose. He had already said that Jiang Yuduo should not be so considerate, but it was not until he was about to get into the car that he remembered to tell Jiang Yuduo that he might have to spend most of the day with him today.

"I forgot to tell you," he hurriedly looked at Jiang Yuduo, "I can't leave right away, I have to go to the store. Today's decoration workers are not resting, and the green plants will also be delivered."

"Well." Jiang Yuduo responded.

Cheng Ke didn't understand his reaction, so he could only add one more sentence: "Would you like to wait until I'm done with my work?"

"Then why didn't you say it earlier? I'm here, I'll give you two glutinous rice dumplings and leave," Jiang Yuduo glared at him, "You're a big young man, so you lied to give you breakfast! You Who the hell is going!"

Cheng Ke looked at him and suddenly felt very happy.

The state of Jiang Yuduo's third brother is very... cute and very... sexy.

"Are you going there?" Cheng Ke asked.

"Go," Jiang Yuduo walked over to the taxi, "I have a rest today."

"Do you still have a day off?" Cheng Ke asked in a low voice after getting in the car.

"Otherwise," Jiang Yuduo also whispered, "On such a major festival, we don't collect rent, don't urge rent, and don't fight. We've always been like this."

"Oh." Cheng Ke nodded.

"Can you finish your work tonight?" Jiang Yuduo asked.

"It will definitely be over in the afternoon," Cheng Ke said. "The workers are going back to celebrate the festival."

"That's fine," Jiang Yuduo nodded, and asked hesitantly, "Then... just Chen Qing, Chen Qing asked you to have dinner and go to his house."

"Have you had the Lantern Festival?" Cheng Ke asked.

"Well, I didn't want to call you at first, I'm afraid you won't be used to it. Chen Qing's parents, like us, are quite... rough," Jiang Yuduo looked at him, "but I thought, let's not call you. , you are very miserable, and no one cares for a year."

"Are you still talking?" Cheng Ke said.

"Then are you going?" Jiang Yuduo asked.

"Go, I'm so miserable. From the time of my 30s being alone to the Lantern Festival, someone finally sympathizes with me." Cheng Ke snorted.

Jiang Yuduo laughed and turned his head to look out the window.

The taxi arrived at the hotel first, and Jiang Yuduo helped Cheng Ke to pack up everything. Although he didn't seem to be very skilled, he was still much more efficient than the one-armed waste.

"I found that you are quite a prodigal," Jiang Yuduo looked at the room after covering both boxes. "You live alone, and you need a suite."

"There was no single standard room at the time I made the reservation," Cheng Ke said. "I checked out once in the middle, and I booked it with Xu Ding's membership card, so I can get a discount."

Jiang Yuduo didn't say more, just sighed.

After packing up the things and then taking the luggage to the store, it was about the same time. When they arrived, the workers had just entered the field.

"Master has worked hard today." Cheng Ke said.

"It's fine, I can finish it in the morning," said the worker. "If you weren't very demanding, I could have done it faster."

"Quality first, don't worry." Cheng Ke smiled.

Jiang Yuduo carried the two boxes to the first floor and put them away, then walked out and walked around the store.

"How is it?" Cheng Ke asked.

"Good-looking," Jiang Yuduo nodded, "it looks very advanced."

"I'm going to make a set of desks and chairs upstairs in a few days," Cheng Ke said, "but now my hand is hurt, you... come and help?"

"You still do carpentry?" Jiang Yuduo was a little surprised.

"It's not made of wood, it's made of cement..." Cheng Ke said.

"Are you still a mason?" Jiang Yuduo was even more surprised.

"No," Cheng Ke thought for a while, and finally gave up, "you'll know when you see it."

"Then neither can I," Jiang Yuduo frowned, "How can I help?"

"I said you do it, it's very simple." Cheng Ke said.

"Okay." Jiang Yuduo nodded.

Just as he was about to ask again, a horn rang from the door.

Jiang Yuduo turned his head to look outside the door, and saw a small truck driving past the door.

"I'll go take a look," Cheng Ke said and walked out, "Maybe the green plants were sent over."

Jiang Yuduo couldn't see the people in the cab clearly, and was blocked by the co-pilot. How about two people to send a few pots of green plants? He immediately followed. It stands to reason that he should have walked in front of Cheng Ke, but he still chose to follow behind Cheng Ke.

As soon as he went out, the door of the co-pilot opened, and the person inside jumped out and said hello to Cheng Ke: "Brother Cheng."

"Lin Xu?" Cheng Ke was stunned, "Why are you..."

"Didn't I have a friend who built a nursery?" Lin Xu smiled. "Last time Brother Xu saw the photos in the circle of friends. The green plants in his house are more distinctive, so let me help pick some."

"Oh." Cheng Ke nodded.

Lin Xu was obviously stunned when his eyes met Jiang Yuduo's.

Jiang Yuduo also felt that he couldn't find a suitable expression to put on his face, so he could only look at him like that.

"Third brother." Lin Xu was stunned for two seconds, then smiled and nodded at him.

Jiang Yuduo twitched the corners of his mouth.

He doesn't quite laugh.

It stands to reason that Lin Xu should have no problem. After all, in the month that Cheng Ke was away from his protection, Lin Xu had many opportunities to approach Cheng Ke, but Cheng Ke had never been in danger.

But even so, in theory, he should queue up for Lin Xu, but he still couldn't laugh.

But there is something that must be said.

"What happened last time," he looked at Lin Xu, "I'm sorry."

"Ah," Lin Xu smiled and waved his hand, "It's alright, it's alright, a little misunderstanding, don't worry about the third brother."

Laugh fart.

Jiang Yuduo looked at him with a cold face, and twitched the corners of his mouth again, but he couldn't even pull out a coping smirk.
