The bus route from the cemetery home was very long, it was about half a small city. Gu Fei swayed against the window of the car, and fell asleep two stops before it swayed.
When he opened his eyes, he was almost one stop to get home, but it was already eight o'clock. He took out his phone and took a look. Jiang Cheng didn't send a message. It is estimated that he hasn't arrived yet.
There is another message from Gu Miao, just three words.
-I ate.
The neighbor downstairs made a small dining table. Sometimes, if he didn't cook at home late, Gu Miao would go to the neighbor's house to eat by himself. At the end of the month, Gu Fei would settle the bill with the neighbor again.
But occasionally my mother will cook once or twice when she gets hard-pressed. My mother's cooking is very delicious. Both he and Gu Miao like to eat it, but it's very difficult to eat it once.
-Did you eat it downstairs
-Um
Gu Fei put the phone back in his pocket, walked to the door and waited to get out of the car. This little girl is getting cooler and cooler, and she even cherishes her words when typing.
It's already late for the old town in winter. It's basically late at night for the old streets. The shops are closed at this time, and no one goes out anymore, except for card games.
When Gu Fei walked past his shop, he saw a person standing at the door from a long distance. Through the dim light, he could see the person jumping back and forth on the sidewalk, like dancing.
Cheng Jiang
He speeded up his pace and walked over and saw that it was indeed Jiang Cheng who was jumping up and down from the steps at the door with his neck and hands in his pockets.
"Fuck me!" Before he could say anything, Jiang Cheng turned his head and saw him. He didn't know if it was cold or threatening, and his voice was very low. "Why the hell didn't you come tomorrow!"
After saying the last sentence, Gu Fei was sure that he was cold, his voice trembled, and the sound of teeth knocking together.
"Sorry," Gu Fei said as he took out the key, "Bus, drives slowly."
"No," Jiang Cheng pointed to the closed door of his store, "Your business is doing very arbitrarily."
"Huh?" Gu Fei glanced at him.
"The doctor next door said when he left just now that he didn't open the door in the afternoon." Jiang Cheng said.
"Really," Gu Fei opened the door, and the heating in the room rushed out, "My mother is here today. In the afternoon... Maybe something has gone away."
"Let let, let let..." Jiang Yan followed behind him, pushed him away and entered the store. He bounced on the spot for a while before sitting down on a chair, "Damn, I'm freezing to death."
"When did you come?" Gu Fei took an electric torch next to him and turned it on.
"Seven fifty." Jiang Cheng threw the bag with the clothes on the cash register.
"So early." Gu Fei was stunned.
"I," Jiang Cheng pointed to himself, "The education I have received since childhood is punctuality."
Gu Fei looked at him and said after a while: "Why didn't you tell me when you arrived?"
"Can you be there after I say it?" Jiang Cheng said, "Besides, my mobile phone is too cold to turn on."
"Why don't you go back first?" Gu Fei took a cup, put a slice of lemon in it, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to him, "I can get it in the past."
"Where are you so much nonsense." Jiang Cheng took the cup and drank, staring at the firearm.
Gu Fei did not ask again, "I will bring you your clothes tomorrow morning. I will take them back and wash them."
"Huh?" Jiang Cheng looked up at him, "It's not easy to wash, there is still blood."
"It's okay, it's washed off anyway." Gu Fei said.
"Thank you." Jiang Cheng said.
"You're welcome," Gu Fei sat down behind the cash register, putting his legs on the counter, "The main reason is that it's too disgusting to wash, and you don't take it away."
"...Fuck," Jiang Cheng said, "I forgot that."
After speaking, neither of them spoke.
Gu Fei was lying comfortably behind the cash register, playing with his mobile phone. Jiang Cheng didn't have a mobile phone to play with, so he just sat in a chair in a daze.
He knew that at this time the shops in this area were about to close except for the card room. Gu Fei probably was waiting for him to leave.
But he didn't want to go.
Today Li Baoguo is very lively. I don't know why Li Baoguo went crazy suddenly and found a group of people to come to play cards at home.
At noon, Li Baoguo expertly repaired the two windows he had broken. He admired it. In terms of practical ability, people of his parents' generation were much better.
But before he recovered, Li Baoguo claimed that he had not finished ten dumplings for him, and suddenly five or six men and women came and crowded the room.
Surrounded him for a visit, all sorts of inquiries, and discussions in person.
It's a bargain. They helped raise his son so much.
Look at the children who grew up in this big city, it's different!
Your adoptive parents are quite rich, right
You must be rich, look at this dress up and temperament...
The last middle-aged and elderly emoticon woman said that she was born with her at first glance. Look and see how much she looks like Baoguo! It's exactly the same!
Jiang Cheng had gritted his teeth and was almost suffocating a bell pepper. He couldn't hold it immediately after hearing this sentence.

Like your uncle! Just like your ancestor!
He pulled the group away, went straight back to the room and slammed the door closed, before they gave up.
Then he ate up that pot of dumplings, even the three that Jiang Cheng hadn't had time to eat in his bowl.
Jiang Cheng felt that he was in all kinds of "unbelievable" every day. It was unbelievable from the left and unbelievable from the right, and he couldn't breathe.
After school in the afternoon, he walked to the entrance of the corridor. He knew that the group was still there by listening to the movement, and he seemed to not leave tonight. He turned around without even entering the door.
He ate the dumplings at the dumpling restaurant that he wanted to eat the day he went but didn't make it. After sending a message to Gu Fei, he finished all his homework in the shop. In the end, he was left alone in the entire lobby before he got up and came out.
There is an indescribable sense of loneliness.
He can't go back to the past life, nor can he blend into the life in front of him. He is free from all kinds of strangeness. He has no relatives, no friends, and no place where he can stay steadily.
The whole person seems to be suspended in the air.
After being stunned in Gu Fei's shop for almost half an hour, Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at Gu Fei. He was the same as before, looking down at the phone screen.
"Are you waiting to close the door?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Gu Fei looked at the screen and ignored him.
"If you want to close the door in a hurry, I will leave," Jiang Cheng said. "If you are not in a hurry, I will wait a little longer."
Gu Fei still didn't say a word, nor moved.
What are you playing so much? Jiang Cheng hesitated and stood up, leaning on the cash register and glanced at his phone. (End of this chapter)
