When he was able to go home after finishing the transcript, Cheng Ke felt that his head was starting to feel a little dizzy.
Jiang Yuduo looked okay. After all, he was someone who could stay awake for a few days without even dark circles under his eyes. At this moment, he was dragging two slippers of different styles and colors and walking in front of the police uncle who knew him. .
"Hurry up and let the gang at the door go," the policeman said, "or I'll go out and call them in for questioning one by one."
"Let's go now." Jiang Yuduo said.
When he walked out the door, Cheng Ke found that there were twenty or thirty people standing or sitting by the flower bed across the street. When they came out, they all stood up immediately and greeted them here.
"What's the matter? You called?" Cheng Ke asked.
"With such a big move, my brothers will know all about it in half an hour at most," Jiang Yuduo said, "must come over and watch."
Chen Qing walked at the front, probably running straight out of the bed, wearing only a vest and slippers on his feet.
"What's the matter?" Chen Qing didn't shout this time, glanced at Jiang Yuduo's hand, and asked in a low voice, "I heard someone entered the house?"
"Well," Jiang Yuduo said, "Tell them that a thief, a desperado, was brought in, and it was almost impossible to beat him."
Chen Qing glanced at him, nodded, turned around and waved: "It's alright, the burglars are fighting, the fugitives are not from our area, it's alright, let's go first, go back to sleep."
Jiang Yuduo stood there and waited until all the little brothers had left before looking at Chen Qing again and again: "Are you going to sleep at my place?"
"I'm waiting for you to tell me what's going on." Chen Qing said.
"It's been said." Jiang Yuduo said.
"Don't do this with me, third brother," Chen Qing said. "'Tell them', which means official notification."
Jiang Yuduo hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Cheng Ke: "Are you hungry?"
"Let's go eat something," Cheng Ke looked down at his phone, "Eat slower to save breakfast."
"Go." Jiang Yuduo waved his hand.
Chen Qing knew something about Jiang Yuduo's childhood, but he didn't know how serious the consequences were for Jiang Yuduo.
"Fuck," Chen Qing frowned, biting a chicken wing, "this is too damn dangerous."
"It's fortunate that Cheng Ke is here," Jiang Yuduo said, "otherwise I might be a little troublesome by myself."
Chen Qing glanced at Cheng Ke: "You two..."
Before he finished speaking, he clicked his tongue, took a sip of wine from the glass, sighed again, and shook his head after sighing: "I probably won't be able to spend the night with my third brother in my life."
Cheng Ke didn't find anything to say for a while, so he could only take a bite of the mutton kebab in embarrassment.
"Go, go today," Jiang Yuduo said, "if you don't go in a while, I'll beat you to death."
"I'm not going," Chen Qing said, "you can beat me to death."
Jiang Yuduo ignored him and took a sip of wine: "Did you tell the store to resign?"
"Say," Chen Qing nodded, "I'll just wait for you to say a word, and I'll come and do it with you."
"Well." Jiang Yuduo responded.
"Just this person today," Chen Qing stopped after taking a few bites, "Are there any accomplices?"
"No more." Jiang Yuduo said.
"Is there really no more? Do you want to find a few people to go around," Chen Qing was a little worried, "As for today's matter, if you can know that someone is there even a few minutes in advance, you can..."
"No," Jiang Yuduo interrupted him immediately, "No, you don't get involved in this matter, absolutely don't."
Chen Qing looked at him, and after a while he picked up the glass and drank the wine in one gulp: "Got it, listen to the third brother."
"It's only him, there won't be anyone else." Jiang Yuduo sighed softly, "It's over, it's really over."
"Jaeger-LeCoultre, come and have a drink," Chen Qingchong raised his glass, "Today without you... Are you not injured?"
"No." Cheng Ke picked up the cup and touched him.
"You should be careful with that hand. The doctor said that it would be really troublesome to hurt it again." Chen Qing said.
"Well, I hold it every day." Cheng Ke drank the wine with a smile.
Chen Qing drove them home, Jiang Yu grabbed the car, opened the door of the cab and dragged Chen Qing down.
"Come on," Jiang Yuduo took him by the arm and walked into the corridor, "Anyway, it's about to dawn, so you can sleep with me."
"Third brother!" Chen Qing struggled hard, "please forgive me, I'll just say that..."
"Fuck you." Jiang Yuduo said.
"Come on." Chen Qing continued to struggle.
Jiang Yuduo let go of him and slapped him on the arm: "Go back quickly."
Chen Qing turned around and ran back to the car.
Seeing his car turn a corner, Jiang Yuduo lowered his head and entered the corridor.
Cheng Ke opened the door, but didn't see Meow coming out to greet them.
"What about meow?" He turned around in the room.
"Under the sofa, or under the cabinet, or in the drawer," Jiang Yuduo sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, "It's too timid, it just made such a big noise."
Cheng Ke scooped some canned food into Miao's food bowl, poured a glass of water and sat beside Jiang Yuduo.
As soon as Chen Qing's car started, Jiang Yuduo's whole body sank, and the strength he held in front of Chen Qing and his little brothers disappeared.
Cheng Ke could see that his fingers holding the cigarette were trembling, and the plumes of smoke were not straight, like a wavy line, and they were shaken away after a few short waves.
From the day the little ant appeared, it brought unease to Jiang Yuduo. To this day, the little ant's red eyes are about to put people to death. Cheng Ke still has lingering fears when he thinks about it. For Jiang Yuduo , the impact is even greater.
"Drink some water?" Cheng Ke handed the cup to him.
Jiang Yuduo took the cup, raised his head and drank all the water in one breath, and sighed with a long voice.
"Sleep for a while," Cheng Ke said, "toss it all night."
"Well." Jiang Yuduo took a breath, "I'm tired and sleepy now, and this is rarely the case."
"It's really... too big." Cheng Ke said.
"I just wanted to see Little Ant again, but they didn't let him," Jiang Yuduo said, "but... I shouldn't have the chance to see him again."
"It's okay if we don't see you," Cheng Ke grabbed his hand and rubbed it on his lap, "What do you want to say to him?"
"I want to ask him," Jiang Yuduo leaned on the sofa and looked at the lamp above his head, "what game is he playing, and what kind of result does he want?"
"Does it make you feel more comfortable knowing this?" Cheng Ke asked. "You can ask Sister Luo or Dr. Chen, they have all had contact with your children back then."
"I think I can guess," Jiang Yuduo said. "I hoped that the game would end sooner, and when the game was over, I would be less afraid, but there was always a game."
"Well." Cheng Ke responded.
"I thought then," Jiang Yuduo turned his head to look at him, "if all the other puppies died, wouldn't I have to compete with them again?"
Cheng Ke was stunned for a while, and suddenly felt a little chill on his back.
"We won't die in the game," Jiang Yuduo said softly, frowning, "it's over if you can't get up, so the opponent will always be there, and the game will never end."
"You think the little ant... thinks so too, right?" Cheng Ke asked.
"Well," Jiang Yuduo twitched the corners of his mouth, "we are all dead, he has no next opponent."
Cheng Ke reached out and touched his face: "Maybe so, but... Your game is over. From the day you decided to go to the hospital, you didn't have a game."
"Yes," Jiang Yuduo said, "I still have opponents."
"Who?" Cheng Ke was a little uneasy.
Jiang Yuduo smiled: "Myself."
"...If you want to say that, you can," Cheng Ke thought for a while, "you..."
"Isn't it very chicken soup," Jiang Yuduo said, "it's very literary, his opponent is himself or something."
Cheng Ke looked at him, and after a while he clicked his tongue: "Are you quite proud of this conclusion?"
"Well, isn't it very philosophical." Jiang Yuduo raised his eyebrows.
Cheng Ke nodded: "Yes."
"Hypocrisy," Jiang Yuduo clicked, "it's as vulgar as you are the protagonist of your own story."
Cheng Ke laughed: "It depends on what's going on."
"I will be stunned." Jiang Yuduo said.
"Well." Cheng Ke leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips.
Jiang Yuduo seemed to say it very easily, and it seemed to be quite relaxed, but after lying on the bed, Cheng Ke could feel that he was not as relaxed as he appeared.
After all, the smoke columns were all wavy lines before, and they couldn't come out so quickly.
After he lay down, Jiang Yuduo immediately rolled over and hugged him, and slept until noon the next day without letting go.
Cheng Ke woke up for half an hour, Jiang Yuduo was still sleeping, he didn't dare to move, Jiang Yuduo rarely slept so well and didn't have a nightmare, he wanted Jiang Yuduo to sleep a little longer.
However, after holding this position for almost an hour, he couldn't bear it, and felt that his entire back was numb.
Miao, who had been missing for most of the day, came out from under the closet, jumped to the foot of the bed, and looked at them vigilantly with one hand raised.
"Meow," Cheng Ke called it in a low voice, "it's all right."
Meow looked at him and didn't move.
"Go and step on your third brother's face," Cheng Ke said, "I'm dying."
He wanted Jiang Yuduo to continue sleeping, but he couldn't keep this position any longer, so he decided to entrust this important task to Meow.
Jiang Yuduo was woken up by Meow, not by him.
Meow doesn't cooperate very well. It's not a cat that is willing to cooperate. I was a little scared today, and I don't want to cooperate anymore. I just sit at the foot of the bed and don't move.
Just when Cheng Ke decided to push Jiang Yuduo away, Jiang Yuduo's cell phone on the bedside table rang.
grateful!
Thanks for the call from this unknown friend!
Jiang Yuduo let out a very reluctant and unpleasant humming in his ear about to wake up.
Cheng Ke heaved a sigh of relief.
"Answer the phone." Jiang Yuduo muttered.
"Yeah." Cheng Ke gently pushed him away, stretched out his hand and picked up his mobile phone and glanced at it, "It's Sister Luo, did the police contact her because of the worth of Little Ant?"
Jiang Yuduo opened his eyes.
"You take it." Cheng Ke said.
"Oh." Jiang Yuduo took the phone and hesitated to pick up the phone, "Sister Luo... um, yes, yes... little ant... I'm fine... "
Cheng Ke got up and got out of bed. He didn't intend to listen to the phone call. Jiang Yuduo thought about it.
He put on his clothes, picked up Meow and walked out of the bedroom.
In the living room, there is still the big cardboard box that Dabin and the others sent yesterday, and it has never been opened.
The box was quite heavy, and the three of them, including Chen Qing, felt uncomfortable when moving out of the car, and they didn't know what was in it.
Cheng Ke came out after washing up, Jiang Yuduo was still on the phone with Sister Luo, he hesitated, took a pair of scissors, walked to the bedroom door, and signaled Jiang Yuduo that he wanted to open the box.
Jiang Yuduo nodded, the expression on his face should be that he felt a little inexplicable to ask for more.
Cheng Ke walked to the box and cut the tape with scissors.
Jiang Yuduo's style is indeed not about surprises or surprises, and you don't need two people to open gifts together... Cheng Ke wanted to open them together, but now he thought that Jiang Yuduo was talking to Sister Luo On the phone, he might talk about his illness, but he was a little restless and had to do something to distract him.
And he was really curious, what kind of birthday present would a bunch of gangsters give their boss.
After cutting the tape three times and two times, Cheng Ke opened the box and was stunned.
"What is it?" Jiang Yuduo walked out of the bedroom.
"Finished the call?" Cheng Ke turned his head.
"Well," Jiang Yuduo nodded, "what did they give me?"
"One, one..." Cheng Ke originally wanted to ask him how his chat with Sister Luo was, but the gift in the box really surprised him, "A meow?"
"What?" Jiang Yuduo was also stunned, walked to his side and glanced at the box, "Fuck!"
The two of them tore open the box together and saw clearly that the wooden bracket inside the box was indeed a big lucky cat that was half a person tall.
After Cheng Ke was shocked, he leaned against the table and said, "Did they know that you are going to open a store, Dabin?"
Jiang Yuduo squatted in front of the lucky cat and looked at it: "It's just a milk tea shop. As for how to put such a big lucky cat, where can I put it?"
"Just put it next to the wall," Cheng Ke said with a smile, "usually put it like that, but it's not so... big."
"Okay, I haven't found the store yet." Jiang Yuduo patted the lucky cat's head, "Would you like to... No, it's me, I'll call Xu Ding? Ask him if he can have it. Can the relationship go into the mall? I call him... Is it appropriate?"
"What's wrong," Cheng Ke said. "He's very nice. If he can help, he will definitely help you."
"I'm a little nervous," Jiang Yuduo took out his phone and looked at it, "I... I haven't asked anyone to help me with anything serious."
"Then you can fight again later," Cheng Ke said, "think about what to say."
"Well." Jiang Yuduo nodded.
Meow jumped off the sofa and carefully looked around beside the lucky cat.
"This is your sister," Jiang Yuduo said. "Say hello to your sister."
"Why sister?" Cheng Ke asked.
"Just... casually speaking, there are all men in this room, how boring, isn't it good to have a little girl who is lucky enough to be a cat?" Jiang Yuduo said.
Cheng Ke laughed: "It's good."
Jiang Yuduo squatted there and laughed for a while, then turned to look at him: "The police asked Sister Luo to ask about the situation."
"Really," Cheng Ke was stunned, "so fast?"
"The little ant has a criminal record, and it was found as soon as it was checked." Jiang Yuduo said.
"Have a previous record?" Cheng Ke was a little surprised, walked up to him and squatted down, "What previous record?"
"Wounding people with a knife," Jiang Yuduo said, "Who was hurt, and whether it has anything to do with the puppy, Sister Luo didn't tell me in detail, just asked about his situation with me, and she felt like she wanted to see See how I am."
"How are you doing?" Cheng Ke asked.
"It's fine," Jiang Yuduo said, "I'm a little confused, but... it's okay."
Cheng Ke relaxed a little and touched his head.
"I'm actually... a little scared," Jiang Yuduo frowned, "but I'll be more at ease when you're next to me."
"I will always be by your side." Cheng Ke said immediately.
"Then..." Jiang Yuduo rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "I don't want to mention it all the time, but... just... sorghum wine..."
"What?" Cheng Ke looked at him.
"You promised, didn't you?" Jiang Yuduo said.
"Yes," Cheng Ke sighed, "Tell me, if you have any other requirements, you can mention it for five years first. Let's take a notebook and write it down, and tick the same."
"Kaoliang wine, meow wool scarf..." Jiang Yu immediately began to count.
"Wait!" Cheng Ke shouted, "What scarf?"
Jiang Yuduo grabbed Miao, poked his finger into Miao's hair, grabbed a large amount of hair, and rubbed it: "That's it, weave a scarf."
Cheng Ke felt like he had dug a hole for himself, and it took a long time for him to bite the bullet and say, "Oh."
