Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 83
[Chapter 83]
Tao Huainan was completely blinded.
Xiaodong introduced to the director in the front row: “This is my brother too.”
“It took so long to arrive?” Xiaodong asked.
“I went the wrong way, and I turned around and came back.” He spoke in a relaxed tone, and he seemed cordial and familiar when talking to Tao Xiaodong. Tao Huainan took off his earphones, but he didn’t care about the entanglement, and he clenched them into a ball in his hands.
Someone in the back seat sat down on the other side, with one person spaced between them. Tao Huainan looked over there, and the other party kept talking to Tao Xiaodong and Tang Suoyan after they sat down.
The former director turned around and praised: “How does Mr. Tao raise a younger brother? Both of them are so good.”
Tao Xiaodong said “hi” and said with a bit of humility: “I really don’t care about it, I don’t have anything. It’s all my own.”
“Mr. Tao is showing off, anyway, if I want two brothers, I’ll show it too.” Director Lin said with a smile.
“If I don’t show off, I’m always busy and can’t take care of them.” Tao Xiaodong said, “My brother is not that competent.”
The people in front were talking, and the people in the back kept their mouths shut and didn’t say anything to each other. Tao Huainan retracted his gaze and lowered his head, feeling as if he could hear his own heartbeat. The heartbeat is so big, I’m a little afraid of being seen. “Then what, I have to introduce you two?” Tao
Xiaodong turned to look back at the two of them, and asked with half-raised eyebrows, “It’s a bit strange to meet you for the first time, isn’t it?”
He opened his mouth immediately, and called out, “Little brother.”
Chi Cheng put the schoolbag on his back beside his lap, and said “um” without caring, which sounded a little indifferent.
Tao Huainan didn’t know what else to say for a while. He kept rubbing the earphone cable in his hand. He wanted to say enough for three days without interruption, but this meeting came suddenly and he was not prepared in advance. Now the words are choked in his throat. Know where to start. The “little brother” called out just now was a little trembling when I listened carefully to the voice, and I really couldn’t pretend to be decent.
“You…” Tao Huainan opened his mouth again, facing Chi Cheng’s direction, “little brother, where are you… from?” After
asking nonsense, Chi Cheng was still indifferent, didn’t even look at him, just said casually. One answer: “Beijing.”
“Is Beijing hot now?” Tao Huainan continued to ask in a low voice.
Chi Cheng’s patience seems to have been exhausted by the two sentences he just answered. He obviously doesn’t want to answer this sentence
. It’s still so good, and it doesn’t deviate at all from what Tao Huainan remembered and imagined.
There were still two brothers sitting in front, as well as the driver and an unfamiliar director. The conversation between them made Tao Huainan a little embarrassed.
If Tao Huainan had any discernment, he would have to know that he shouldn’t continue talking now, and people didn’t want to ignore him. Tao Huainan has always been sensitive and has a very accurate perception of other people’s emotions. He understands that he should shut up now, and the more he talks, the more embarrassed he will be.
But the person sitting here is Chi Cheng.
Tao Huainan put the messy earphone cables in his pocket, and fumbled around in his schoolbag, only to find a packet of biscuits given by others. He asked Chi Cheng: “Have you eaten yet? Brother.” “Have eaten
.” Chi Cheng said.
After Chi Cheng answered, he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair as if he was about to fall asleep.
Tao Huainan asked two more questions, but did not hear Chi Cheng’s answer. He silently closed his mouth and kept looking over there. The person who has only appeared in his dreams all these years is now sitting next to him. Tao Huainan just wants to feel him all the time.
Xiaodong and Brother Tang had long known that Chi Cheng was coming this time. They had always known about it, but neither of them said anything. If Tao Huainan knew in advance that Chi Cheng would also come, he would definitely not come, and he would not come to cause trouble.
However, now Tao Huainan really thanked his brothers for not telling him, and now he would sit with Chi Cheng and listen to Chi Cheng’s steady breathing when he fell asleep.
Tao Xiaodong looked back at him and asked, “Are you asleep?”
Tao Huainan nodded slightly.
The air-conditioning in the rear is not good, and now the car starts up again, and the rear seats are still hot. Tao Huainan’s forehead was sweating again, Chi Cheng has always been more heat-resistant than him.
Tao Huainan took out two cardboard real estate advertisements from the pockets of the front seat, and folded them in the middle to form a large or small bundle. He seems to be fanning himself, but the angle is slightly off. The wind blows slowly on the body, temporarily blowing away the sultry air, and the cool wind blows on the body to bring comfortable coolness, each time is short, but it lasts for a long time.
The small wind did not stop, and it was always stable until the car finally stopped.
They drove faster and fell a little distance from the convoy. The driver drove directly to the hotel arranged for them by the county. There were people from the local government waiting here for a long time. The first person to arrive was the one who had to receive the warmest hospitality for the longest time. Although this is inevitable later, the hospitality of the first car is indeed a bit difficult to accept.
Several people in the car didn’t move, Tao Xiaodong and Tang Suoyan looked at each other, looked at each other tacitly, and both laughed without saying a word.
Only Chi Cheng was about to get out of the car with his schoolbag, but Tao Xiaodong grabbed him and didn’t let him open the door.
Tao Xiaodong said to the driver, “Let’s go out for a spin.”
Chi Cheng was inexplicable: “Won’t you get off the bus?”
“You will be blinded when you get off the bus,” Tao Xiaodong laughed. Stay with you.”
Chi Cheng didn’t understand them, didn’t ask any more questions, and went back and sat down again.
Tao Huainan had put back the advertisement paper just now, and sat upright with his schoolbag in his arms. After Chi Cheng sat down, he straightened his back subconsciously.
Tao Huainan was actually in a daze all day, and he didn’t remember what he did.
The rooms are for two people. Brother Tang must share the same room with Tang, so Chi Cheng naturally lives with Tao Huainan. The two didn’t say anything else, and no one was arguing about changing rooms. The adults in their twenties are not so naive.
Tao Huainan went in with the bag, and brother and Tang were still talking to people downstairs, but couldn’t come up. Chi Cheng followed him, put the bag aside, and inserted the card into the card slot.
When they entered the door, the two were a little closer, and Tao Huainan could feel the temperature of the people behind him. He wanted to say something, but couldn’t bear to break the current atmosphere.
What’s more, Chi Cheng didn’t give him a chance to break, he put down the things and opened the door and left. This time, there were three of them together, and the other two lived upstairs, all of whom were classmates Chi Cheng.
Tao Huainan packed himself up and lay down, Chi Cheng didn’t come back for a long time.
He probably didn’t come back until almost eleven o’clock. Tao Huainan deliberately opened the door, but he didn’t close it again. Brother came in to see him and closed it for him, Tao Huainan got up and opened it again. Chi Cheng didn’t take the room card when he left, so he probably wouldn’t want to knock on the door.
After Chi Cheng came back, Tao Huainan closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He heard Chi Cheng go to take a shower, and then he turned off the lights and fell asleep.
Chicheng University has only read for three years, completed all the credits in advance, and submitted an application for early graduation. Now the second year of graduate school has been completed. The equipment he brought this time was the blind navigation project he and some boys from the school did last year. The software was sold to a technology company. The first batch of products had just been tested and had not yet been launched. They have done several such projects, but currently there are not many companies doing technology for the blind in China, and the market and technology are limited.
The other two boys, Tao Huainan, met only the next day. Chi Cheng left early in the morning, washed up before dawn, and went out the door. When they saw them again, they came with those two classmates.
Chi Cheng was wearing a black T-shirt and sweatpants, biting a piece of bread as he walked. When Tao Huainan heard him coming, he took the initiative to say hello and called “little brother”. These two words are the easiest for the current Tao Huainan.
Chi Cheng said “um”.
“Who is it?” A younger-sounding voice beside Chi Cheng asked lively, “Who is this handsome guy?”
Tao Huainan turned towards the speaker and blinked.
Chi Cheng didn’t stop, threw the bread paper into the trash, and put the last bite into his mouth, and said, “My brother.”
“Ah, this is your brother?” The boy said “Hi” to Tao Huainan.
Tao Huainan also smiled politely and said “hello” to him.
After another classmate said hello to Tao Huainan, he followed Chi Cheng in, only this one was standing in front of him and talking to him.
“I’ve been hearing from Brother Chi that there is a brother and a younger brother, and I have seen a real person.” The boy waved his hand in front of Tao Huainan, Tao Huainan took a step back, and the boy said, “You two don’t look alike.”
Tao Huainan Huainan didn’t know how to answer him, they didn’t look alike.
“I’m going in first, and I’ll play with you at night. I’m Fanguo, just follow Brother Chi and call me Guoer.” The
boy ran in after he finished speaking. It is estimated that he doesn’t exercise very often, so he would be whimpering when he ran.
Tao Huainan thought he was lively and a little cute. Such people make people not tired and become happy.
When everyone else was busy, Tao Huainan couldn’t do anything, he could only stand in a place where he didn’t get in the way, and he would reach out if there was anything he could help. But he can help too little, the effect is really small.
Dr. Tang was so busy that he didn’t even have time to drink water. Brother went there for a few turns and brought a box of water. Tao Huainan also sent a box to Chi Cheng and the others.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a child crying, crying hoarsely.
“Sister! Don’t let the child cry in our place, or will you lead us out to cry?” Fanguo’s voice was like a bouncing bean, “Our heads are about to explode, why don’t you go to the hospital? There are doctors all over there, we are not here!” The
parents probably couldn’t do anything about the child, the child’s eyes were sick and the adults were the worst, and they were reluctant to yell at him at this moment. The children have been rolling and crying here for a long time, and they can’t hear what they are saying.
Chi Cheng squatted with his back to the door looking for something, and said to Fan Guo, “You can send it out.”
“I can’t send it out!” Let’s go, children, don’t cry!” The
mother was also a little unhappy when she heard what he said, and it was always the parents who loved the child the most, frowning and saying, “Do you treat the child as an adult? Isn’t he afraid, little one? Aren’t all children like this?”
“Yo, how is that possible?” Fanguo asked suspiciously, “Isn’t there something good children don’t have?”
“He hasn’t finished the examination yet, he doesn’t know what’s wrong with his eyes, who’s child doesn’t? Are you crying?” The young mother thought they were unloving and had no sympathy for the sick child.
Chi Cheng didn’t talk much at first, but now he took something out of the box and said, “Some children can’t see and don’t cry.”
“Standing and talking without back pain…” The parent rolled his eyes , and then coaxed the child to go.
In the end, the child was led out by Tao Huainan. No one knew when he came in. Chi Cheng looked back when he made a sound, and Tao Huainan took a several-year-old boy away with half coaxing and half hugging.
The child slapped Tao Huainan on the face with a slap in the face. Tao Huainan raised his head and ducked, hitting him next to his collarbone.
“This child in your family really has to be in charge,” Fanguo shouted from behind, “I’m used to it!”
Tao Huainan sent the child to the clinic and beat Tao Huainan several times with gestures. . Later, Tao Xiaodong said, “Come on, give it to me.”
Tao Xiaodong pulled his face and stared at him. His appearance was enough to frighten the child. The child didn’t even dare to cry when he was there, and the twitching stopped a lot.
Before Tao Huainan left, he touched his head and said, “Don’t be afraid.”
This was the second day after Tao Huainan saw Chi Cheng. They came down all day and only said “little brother” in the morning. On the contrary, Fanguo and Tao Huainan talked a lot. He was a bit of a talker, and he could not stop talking to anyone.
Fanguo sips “My Brother Chi” every single sip, which sounds very close. Tao Huainan likes to listen to him, and also likes to hear him say “Brother Chi”.
“You don’t have the same personality as my brother Chi. You seem to have a good temper. Brother Chi doesn’t care about people.” Fanguo sat on a sponge pad under his butt, and sat on the curb with Tao Huainan.
Tao Huainan couldn’t speak, and didn’t understand Chi Cheng in the past few years, so he just listened quietly.
“Aren’t you two in a bad relationship?” Fan Guo touched Tao Huainan’s arm, “Tell me about it secretly.”
Tao Huainan thought for a while, and replied, “It’s fine.”
“Oh, I still I thought you were bad.” He talked a lot, but he was also a very shrewd boy, so he didn’t go on.
Fanguo asked Tao Huainan what he studied, Tao Huainan said psychology.
“No wonder, I think you are so gentle.” Fanguo laughed, Chi Cheng came out, Fanguo leaned on the ground, jumped up and ran over.
