As Chi Zheng said, he was already sitting next to Meng Hang, and she froze for a long time.
"Which one do you want to play?" He asked Meng Hang.
The little boy blinked at Chi Zheng, and then at Meng Shengnan.
"sister."
When she recovered, Xiao Hang pursed his lips and asked, "Can I play?"
Chi Zheng also looked over.
"Can you?" he asked.
Before she spoke, Chi Zheng had already looked at Meng Hang.
"Your sister said yes."
Meng Shengnan: "..."
Then, Chi Zheng took out his phone from his pocket and clicked on a game. He talked and taught, and the big and small rushed into battle. Meng Shengnan couldn't tell what mood he was in, and he seemed to be fine. She sighed lightly, resting her chin on her hand to see the two people opposite were having a good time.
Meng Hang seemed very serious: "What should I do if it is about to catch me?"
"so."
Chi Zheng held his hand and swung the phone left and right, "Enter the door on the left and attack from behind."
"elder brother."
"Um?"
"What is a surprise attack?"
Meng Shengnan smiled with his eyes bent.
Chi Zheng licked his lower lip: "That's—"
He suddenly looked up at Meng Shengnan, smiled narrowly and spoke.
"Sister, explain."
Meng Shengnan: "..."
Meng Hang also looked at her, "Sister."
She glanced at the two big and small ones who were staring at her, and cleared her throat.
"That's right, by surprise," she was thinking of the word, "offensive."
"sister."
"Um?"
"What is surprise?"
Chi Zheng rested one hand on Meng Hang's shoulder and tapped the table with the other, his gaze was heavy.
"Surprise is—"
She avoids his scorching gaze and looks at Xiao Hang.
"While no one is looking—"
Before she finished speaking, she felt a sudden warm and cold tremor on her neck. As soon as he looked up, he saw Meng Hang giggling, and Chi Zhengmo rubbing his fingertips. He glanced at her, turned his head slightly and said to Xiaohang, "This is called surprise."
Meng Shengnan 囧: "..."
Meng Hang was even happier, "Brother."
"Um."
"I think you look familiar."
Chi Zheng rubbed his hair, "Really."
Meng Hang nodded heavily.
"Me too."
Meng Hang's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Chi Zheng smiled, "Yes."
Meng Shengnan suddenly felt that he was a bit redundant, as if he couldn't get in a word. She looked up from the window, then back again. Chi Zheng was looking up at her, Meng Shengnan's heart skipped a beat. Like a lifesaver, he found something out of his head and asked Meng Hang.
"Aren't you going to kindergarten this afternoon?"
Meng Hang was playing a game without raising his head.
"Sister, is it a bit late for you to ask now?"
Meng Shengnan: "..."
Chi Zheng was funny.
"I'm on summer vacation on Wednesday." Xiao Hang pouted.
Meng Shengnan: "..."
She sighed in her heart, wishing she could get into the quilt and not come out. On the opposite side, Meng Hang asked Chi Zheng again, and the man spoke in a gentle voice. The sun fell on the surrounding area, creating a halo. Meng Shengnan suddenly had the illusion that her age was just right, and when he looked over, she hurriedly turned her head.
After half a minute, they should leave.
Meng Hang was still a little bit reluctant, holding Chi Zheng's hand and not letting go. He picked up the little boy, she followed behind, and the three of them left Dexter. His motorcycle was parked by the side of the street, and Meng Hang let out a 'wow' when he saw it, "It's so cool."
She was about to speak when Meng Hang asked Chi Zheng.
"Brother, is this your car?"
"Yeah." Chi Zheng smiled.
Meng Shengnan was a little confused about what Meng Hang would do next, and he was about to hug him from his arms, "Xiao Hang, brother will be busy soon—"
"It's okay." He continued.
Meng Shengnan looked at him.
Xiaohang asked: "Brother, can I sit?"
"Yes, yes, but," Chi Zheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on her face, "I have to ask your sister if she agrees?"
Meng Hang looked at her pitifully.
"sister-"
Meng Shengnan: "..."
On the motorcycle, the little boy was having a lot of fun, sitting between the two of them, looking around curiously. He rode very slowly. She hugged Meng Hang and looked at the back of his head. Time is very slow, and the wind is blowing head-on, ringing in the ears. His hair was cut short, and his sideburns were white. The neck is straight and the back is broad. The gray short sleeves were blown up by the wind, and the black letter H tattoo down on the right shoulder was still dazzling.
He walked along the edge of the street.
After crossing the intersection, Meng Hang yelled to pee. Looking around, Chi Zheng rode his bike not far from his shop. The shop door was closed, so he stopped the car and carried Meng Hang down to open the shop door. A small side door was opened towards the wall next to the table next to the compartment in the inner compartment, which should lead to the tenant's inner room. She wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Meng Hang.
"Sister, men and women are different."
Meng Shengnan didn't mention it in one breath, Chi Zheng smiled.
"Okay, you wait outside."
After he finished speaking, he took Meng Hang in and closed the door gently behind his back. Meng Shengnan went around the glass cabinet and went to the door to wait. There were hardly many people on this street. After a while, there was the sound of the door opening and closing behind him. She looked back, Meng Hang was holding a small toy car in his hand, sitting by the bed to play.
Chi Zheng walked out.
Meng Shengnan: "You bought it?"
He said 'hmm'.
"I didn't see you come out."
Chi Zheng bent his lips, "The streets on both sides are connected, and the back room is just past."
She obediently said 'oh'.
There was a moment of silence and no more words. She leaned against the door and looked at the avenue outside the street, and the cars came and went. The voice of the man beside him was light: "What are you looking at?"
Meng Shengnan shook his head, "I don't know."
He looked at her profile, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Is school busy?"
Meng Shengnan: "It's okay."
"Free to write a story?" He raised his eyes.
Her eyelids twitched, "It's okay."
Chi Zheng's eyes were dark, as if he wanted to see through her. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, but he didn't light it, and looked down at her.
"Meng Shengnan?"
She glanced sideways and gave a light 'ah'.
"Can you say anything else besides these two words?"
Meng Shengnan: "..."
He gave a brief chuckle, Meng Shengnan hurriedly looked away, and turned his head uncomfortably. A few seconds later, Chi Zheng's voice was unhurried.
"Lu Sibei is right."
She was surprised that he suddenly mentioned, "Huh?"
Chi Zheng's eyes sparkled.
As soon as he said the word 'you', his cell phone was ringing. Chi Zheng glanced at her, took down his cigarette and answered the phone. I don't know what the person over there said, but he gave an 'hmm', looked at her, and said, "I'll be there in a while."
After he hung up the line, she asked, "Are you going to be busy?"
Chi Zheng: "There is something wrong with the computer over there, I have to go and lie down."
She heard an 'oh'.
"Then I'll take Xiaohang back first."
Chi Zheng raised his eyebrows: "You seem to be in a hurry?"
"Is there?"
She dodged her gaze, but Chi Zheng remained silent. Meng Shengnan turned his head to look at the bedside in the store who was about to call Xiaohang, and was taken aback for a moment. The little boy was holding the car in his arms, and his feet were still hanging by the bed. He was already lying on the bed and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Meng Shengnan was about to step over when he grabbed his wrist.
"Stop barking," he said.
Meng Shengnan was stunned when the rough fingertips rubbed against her skin.
Chi Zheng lowered his eyes.
"Let him sleep, I'll come back and take you back later."
After finishing speaking, without giving her a chance to speak, he let go of her, turned around and walked to the side of the motorcycle. He didn't sit on it immediately, but pushed the bike to the street before getting on and riding away. Meng Shengnan kept looking at the direction he was leaving, and sighed slowly. Xiao Hang was fast asleep on the bed, and she took a short sleeve of his from the side of the bed to cover Xiao Hang's stomach.
It was very hot, and she sat at the foot of the bed and fanned the little boy with her hands.
He glanced at the inside of the cubicle, but there was nothing but a big bed. There were some clothes and pants piled up beside the bed, which seemed to have been replaced. There is always a smell in a man's bed, she can't tell but she doesn't feel uncomfortable. After a while, Xiao Hang stopped sweating. She got up and collected all his dirty clothes on the bed, then opened the small side door lightly and entered the rented house. Surrounded on all sides, the height of five or six floors.
She was looking for the bathroom with her clothes in her arms, when Qi Qiao's call came suddenly.
"Where are you?"
Meng Shengnan was afraid of disturbing the tenants, so her voice was a little low.
"Accompanying Xiaohang at the bookstore."
"Fengshuitai? Which bookstore?"
It was the first time she bothered this woman to get to the bottom of it.
"It's inconvenient, I'll call you later."
After hanging up the phone, she sighed.
Then I looked up, and there were eight or nine small houses on each floor. The roof is covered with a plastic sheet to keep the sun out. She found the bathroom on the first floor, stuffed all the clothes into the basin and washed them by hand. It was four or five o'clock, and the surrounding area was very quiet.
At that time, it was hotter outside.
Chi Zheng entered an Internet cafe, and he was a regular customer. A dozen computers suddenly stopped working, and it took him some time to repair them before they could be restarted. When it was repaired and went out, the sky was getting dark. He glanced at the time, it was half past six.
When I got back to the shop, it was very quiet inside.
He went around the aisle by the wall and entered the cubicle, and suddenly laughed silently. The woman on the bed put one hand on the child's back, her face peaceful. The two wore one of his gray short sleeves, and they slept soundly. He didn't make a sound, just leaned against the table and watched.
There was movement outside the door, and he turned his head.
Shi Jin had already walked in, and was about to speak, when Chi Zheng put his index finger to his mouth as if to hiss. Shi Jin was curious and looked inside. Hey, have fun. Chi Zheng came out quickly and dragged Shi Jin to the street outside the shop, Shi Jin smirked.
"When did it happen?"
Chi Zheng glanced lightly.
Shi Jin: "The child must be five years old, you can really do it without hiding it from my buddies for so long."
Chi Zheng took out a cigarette and bit his mouth, bowed his head and nodded.
"That's her brother."
Shi Jin: "Fuck, I thought it was your seed."
Chi Zheng raised his eyes and snorted with a smile.
"That woman is not bad, right? When did you think about it?"
Chi Zheng smoked a cigarette and didn't speak.
"How does it feel after all?"
Chi Zheng bit his back teeth.
"How many times have you done it?"
Chi Zheng looked coldly and took down the cigarette.
"If you don't talk about it, get out."
Shi Jin gave a 'tsk' and laughed again, "It seems that I really fell in love with you."
Chi Zheng didn't say anything, and after a while, he smiled.
Shi Jin couldn't bear to look directly at him.
"Depend on."
Chi Zheng smiled lightly, and chased Shi Jin away after smoking a cigarette.
"The car stays."
Shi Jin burst into tears.
There seemed to be indistinct voices in the room, Chi Zheng took a cigarette and went back to the store. Xiaohang just woke up and thought he was at home. Meng Shengnan was coaxing, she looked up at Chi Zheng, maybe a little embarrassed.
"When did you come back?"
Chi Zheng smiled lightly: "Just now."
She said 'oh'.
"Are you hungry, go out and eat?"
Meng Shengnan shook his head and smiled.
"No, my mother just called, let's go back and eat."
Chi Zheng went to the bed and picked up Xiaohang, then looked at her again.
"Let's go, I'll see you off."
"No-"
He is gone.
Meng Shengnan had no choice but to obediently follow behind him, watching him close the shop. The Beidou Galaxy van was parked at the street corner, and she sat in the co-pilot holding Xiao Hang. The little boy was still not very sober, lying in her arms, blinking his eyes and not moving.
It was dark and the neon lights were on.
The car is very quiet, only the sound of breathing. The two of them didn't speak much, and Meng Shengnan kept looking sideways out of the window. He steered the steering wheel and looked ahead. In less than 30 minutes, she arrived at the alley at home. She took Xiao Hang out of the car and thanked him.
He said lightly, "No need."
"Be careful on the road."
On the street, she watched him drive away before taking Xiao Hang home. I simply ate and went back to the room, and suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell him that the clothes were hanging in the aisle of the rented house. In the dead of night, she couldn't sleep. Get up and stand by the window sill, watching the dark night outside. Thinking for a while, I don't know if he has fallen asleep.
