Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 85

[Chapter 85]

Chi Cheng was called away, and Tao Huainan went to open a crack in the door. Once the crack was opened, it was half a night. Chi Cheng came back in the middle of the night, and Tao Huainan was already asleep when he came back. Tao Huainan left him a small lamp on his side of the bed to make the room bright.

There is also a new quilt on the bed, the previous one has been taken away.

Tao Huainan lay upright on his bed. When he was a child, he slept very dishonestly, but now he rarely moves. The bedside lamp was placed on his face, and the eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, covering his eyes and the bridge of his nose, with a quiet softness.

Chi Cheng turned off the light, and the room fell into darkness again. In the quiet night, only the two of them were left breathing with alternating frequencies.

Chi Cheng’s life has not been easy in recent years, as can be seen from how busy he is now. They spend almost all day talking and researching, and during the day, they distribute equipment to visually impaired people, and for those who don’t have young people at home, they have to help them debug it in person. Back to the hotel from there in the evening, I could hardly put down my mobile phone and computer, and I had no time to spare.

He has always been a person who has no temperature for himself. He studied hard in middle school, and it is even more impossible for him to stop when he goes out to school. Chi Cheng seems to never get tired, and doesn’t feel hard.

That night, Tao Huainan was interrupted in the middle of his speech, and there was no chance to bring it up again after that. Many words can only be said through the atmosphere and emotions at the time. Once the atmosphere is over, the opportunity to revisit will be lost, and it will be more difficult to communicate.

When my brother secretly asked, Tao Huainan felt very guilty, and said to my brother in frustration, “No, I couldn’t coax him well.

”

“He has something to do,” Tao Huainan also felt very sorry, “I was just about to say that Fanguo and the others are here. They are very busy.”

Xiaodong was suffocating in one breath . Having said that, Mao is useless. Tao Xiaodong looked at his younger brother with a frustrated look on his face, and even though he thought they were too hard, he still laughed angrily, and comforted: “Let’s talk about it, it’s alright.”

Tao Huainan asked, “When will he return to Beijing?”

Tao Xiaodong said: “Next week, don’t worry.”

Tao Huainan nodded, Tao Xiaodong said to him: “You are smart.”

“I’m too stupid,” Tao Huainan himself said, “I don’t look like you at all. ”

Tao Huainan said that he was stupid, and he was really stupid. Many times in the face of Chi Cheng, he couldn’t even express himself well. He hesitated for a long time about what he wanted to say, and his speech was not smooth. He always sounded a little uncomfortable and reserved.

Chi Cheng couldn’t say that he was deliberately left out, but he definitely couldn’t be called close. Tao Huainan told him that he would agree, and he would answer any questions.

They haven’t seen each other for five years and haven’t contacted each other for five years. Now they have been swayed by these five years, and an invisible cold wall has been created.

Every morning Chi Cheng packed up and left before dawn, and Tao Huainan woke up and left. Tao Huainan woke up that day, first touched his watch to listen to the time, sat up and turned his face in the direction of Chi Cheng’s bed.

Putting on his shoes, he went to the ground and slowly moved to the bathroom. Tao Huainan yawned as he walked, thinking that he would go to the breakfast shop outside to buy some buns later. Chi Cheng had been eating bread for the past few days.

They will leave here tomorrow and go to the next place. The originally scheduled time was to leave tomorrow, but Brother Tang said that it may not be possible to walk here, and it may be the day after tomorrow.

Yesterday, I heard from a local nurse here that there is a steamed bun shop that has been open for more than 30 years, and the beef buns are delicious. If I don’t go today, it will be too late. Tao Huainan intends to wait there and bring back two pots directly. Little brother eats bread every day, it’s too dry.

Tao Huainan finished a long yawn, pushed open the door of the bathroom in a daze, and bumped into someone who was about to come out.

Tao Huainan was really startled. This unexpected little accident made him panic in an instant. This is the instinctive reaction of a blind person, even if he has grown up now.

He blurted out “Ouch, mother”, and then shrunk like a quail against the door panel, his eyes widened, and he gasped with fright.

Chi Cheng was also taken aback. Tao Huainan walked silently, and he didn’t think he could get up even before dawn.

Tao Huainan’s prudence, panic, and caution in front of Chi Cheng these days made this sudden shock frighten him. This seems to be his most natural reaction since seeing Chi Cheng this time.

He was so frightened that he was like a bird holding its head with its wings shrunk. Although it was embarrassed, it was really funny, and this kind of funny would make him look like a timid child.

“…Little brother?” Tao Huainan put down the hand on his chest after reacting, his heart was still pounding with fright, and there was a little panting in his voice, and he asked tentatively, “Is that the little brother?”

Chi Cheng “Yeah”, leaning against the sink, looking at Tao Huainan and asking, “I washed my hair and water, didn’t you hear?”

“I didn’t pay attention…” Tao Huainan took a deep breath to calm himself, really embarrassed, He scratched his hair and smiled, “I’m thinking about buying… buns for a while, I… just thinking about buns.”

Maybe it was the shock that broke Tao Huainan’s thoughts and thoughts. , or it may be that the day has not yet dawned, just like the day has not really started yet, in short, Tao Huainan is much more relaxed at this moment.

Of course, it is not only Tao Huainan, but also Chi Cheng.

Chi Cheng went out and threw a quiet “I know what to eat”.

Tao Huainan followed him out, stood at the door and said, “You don’t eat bread today, I’ll go buy buns? … Okay?”

Chi Cheng took off his clothes, changed one, and said “um”.

“Then wait for me,” Tao Huainan suddenly became a little excited, and went into the bathroom again, “I’ll go in a while.”

Chi Cheng was about to leave after changing his clothes. Before opening the door, Tao Huainan was still wiping with a towel. hair.

Tao Huainan wanted to say “goodbye, little brother”, but after a while, he saw it and swallowed it again.

Unexpectedly, Chi Cheng took the initiative to call him “Tao Huainan”.

Tao Huainan was surprised, and immediately agreed: “Hey!”

He didn’t know what Chi Cheng wanted to say to him, he grabbed the towel in his hand and stopped wiping his hair. But after waiting for a while, Chi Cheng finally said nothing.

All he said was “go”, and he really opened the door and left.

This morning was surprising enough for Tao Huainan. He then wiped his hair, half-dried it, changed his clothes and went out to buy steamed buns.

This bun, Tao Huainan, has been thinking about from yesterday to today, because he also talked to Chi Cheng, making people wait.

However, it seems that everything is not going well with Tao Huainan, and he is always unhappy. The bun shop was closed that day, Tao Huainan waited at the door until he was told by the owner of the small supermarket next to him that buns were not sold on Sundays.

“Ah…” Tao Huainan nodded first, and then asked again in vain, “It won’t open today, right?”

“No, Lao Zhang will accompany his grandson on Sunday!” The supermarket owner and Tao Huainan said, “Out of town Right? Come early tomorrow, you can buy it all!”

Tao Huainan said “thank you” to the boss, stood there for half a minute, and was a little unwilling to say.

But there were no more tricks. After a while, Tao Huainan asked the supermarket owner again, where else sells delicious buns. The boss gave the locations of the two stores. Tao Huainan searched on the map and passed by wearing headphones.

There are only two beef buns left in the breakfast shop I went to, and the rest are vegetarian. Chi Cheng doesn’t like vegetarian stuffed buns, he used to say they taste weird. Tao Huainan took the two beef, and bought a lot of the others. He took a lot of pies and fried dough sticks.

Carrying two large pockets of breakfast, I went there, one on my brother’s side, and one on Chi Cheng’s side.

Seeing that he called “little brother” first, Fanguo came over excitedly and took the bag in his hand. Chi Cheng and Guo Yiming were both busy and couldn’t get away.

“I was hungry last night!” Fanguo flipped through the bag, covered his hands with a plastic bag, and took a bite of a piece of pie. “Can I drink this porridge?”

Tao Huainan looked at him and said yes .

Fanguo lifted the lid and squatted on the side to suck, and said, “I don’t like salty porridge very much. The porridge should be sweet, but Brother Chi likes it. But he doesn’t drink much now. It’s troublesome and a waste of time.

” There’s always something to say, and it’s all in one morning.

“I can’t keep my mouth shut even when I eat.” Guo Yiming said to him over there.

Fanguo said “oh” and squatted while eating pies and porridge.

There are other helpers in this house. Everyone divided the breakfast. Tao Huainan couldn’t see what they took.

Chi Cheng’s appetite is not too small, Tao Huainan said don’t go too far.

When I woke up early, I didn’t buy the buns that I was thinking about. I walked two and a half kilometers and found nothing at the breakfast shop. The porridge that I finally brought back made Fan Guo suck.

It’s a good morning to buy buns and shreds, what is this?

Guo Yiming and Chi Cheng came over, Tao Huainan leaned against the wall like a penalty stand.

“Hainan eaten?” Guo Yiming asked him.

Tao Huainan was not in the mood to eat, and replied that he had eaten.

“The pie is delicious, but there’s no more.” Fanguo had finished eating, wiped his mouth and said, “You two can eat fritters.”

“We can eat anything,” Guo Yiming said, “we don’t choose. ”

Tao Huainan put the two buns in his pocket into Chicheng’s hands, and the two touched their fingertips, and Tao Huainan quickly shrank back. Chi Cheng looked down and saw two still warm buns wrapped in a plastic bag.

“Aha!” Fanguo said with a smile, “I see that my brother is being treated, you are hiding it, little brother, you still pay attention!”

Tao Huainan just smiled and didn’t speak, thinking that if I didn’t pay attention, I’ve been tossing about something this morning. If I don’t pay attention to what my brother eats.

Tao Huainan hasn’t had so many inner dramas for a long time, and I don’t know what happened today, and there are a lot of inner activities. He himself attributed it to the shock in the morning, and after the shock, the day was not normal.

Fanguo asked what the buns were filled with, but Chi Cheng bit the second one before he could finish asking. He eats fast and gets used to it in a hurry.

But Chi Cheng’s appetite for two steamed buns was not enough for him, Tao Huainan whispered beside him, “I’ll go get you some bread?”

Chi Cheng said, “No.”

Someone brought something in from outside, and his vision was blocked from seeing the person standing here, and he was about to hit Tao Huainan. Chi Cheng stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve and pulled the man forward, Tao Huainan took two steps, and the man behind him walked over with something.

Chi Cheng finished eating the two steamed buns, took another fritter, and went back to work while biting.

Hospitals have breakfast, and hotels also have them, but they are not very tasty. Tao Huainan then strolled to the hospital staff cafeteria to make up for breakfast, which was tasteless.

Tao Huainan had steamed buns in his pocket this morning, and the smell was still on his clothes. In the past, Tao Huainan didn’t like the smell on his body the most, but now he thinks it’s nothing.

Pan Xiaozhuo looked for him on WeChat and asked him when he would be back.

Tao Huainan sent a voice back to him: “I have to wait a few days, Xiaozhuo, I saw my little brother.”

Pan Xiaozhuo: ! ! !

Pan Xiaozhuo: Which little brother? late?

Tao Huainan: “Which little brother do I have?”

Pan Xiaozhuo also directly sent a voice to him: “It’s true! Didn’t you go out with your brother?”

Tao Huainan said: “Yes, the little brother is here too. .”

Perhaps in these years, the person who knew Tao Huainan the most was Pan Xiaozhuo, so now I was so surprised to hear Tao Huainan say that he saw his little brother, and I was a little excited for Tao Huainan.

Pan Xiaozhuo: “Does he have a partner? Did you ask, Huainan?”

Tao Huainan: “I don’t know, I don’t even dare to say a word, so I dare to ask this.”

Pan Xiaozhuo asked again: “Has he become much?”

Tao Huainan thought about it carefully, and replied, “It should be quite a lot, and it has become better. But for me, it is not much. He has always been him, because I am not objective.”
