The Man Who Picked the Stars

Jin Zaizhong flinched when he heard the words, "Sorry, I'm late today." 』

He didn't have the strength to explain to Zheng Yunhao, he just wanted to get into the house quickly to avoid the man's censure.It's a pity that the man didn't give him this chance.

"I asked where have you been?" ’The voice suddenly raised a few beeps, ‘Didn’t you hear my question? 』

Jin Zaizhong became angry when he heard that, what happened today has made him physically and mentally exhausted, he has no extra energy to explain to Zheng Yunhao.

"What does that have to do with you! 』It's not like he didn't come back.

"what relationship? ”Zheng Yunhao laughed back in anger, “If it doesn’t matter, why are you coming back now!Why not keep wandering outside! 』

"So I said I'm sorry! 』

"I'm sorry," Zheng Yunhao snorted coldly, "I only said I'm sorry, why didn't I understand other people's feelings at the beginning, and didn't say anything when I wanted to go out, how dangerous it is to hang out alone at such a late hour!" 』

"It wasn't that dangerous when I was like this before! 』The boy replied unconvinced.

"Yeah, it's not dangerous at all to be beaten and thrown on the side of the road with nowhere to go and sit in front of the funeral parlor and lick your wounds all by yourself!" ’ Zheng Yunhao said sarcastically.

"yes!Anyway, no one cares about me. Isn't it a matter of time before I return to that kind of life? The young man retorted angrily, "Didn't you ask me to pay back the money for taking me in?"What's the matter with hanging me here all day, let me work, do it, let me touch the dead, just leave me here for two weeks, what do you want! 』

"Is that what you think? 』The man's face was too ugly.

"Then what do you want me to think?" Jin Zaizhong wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve, "I have no home, no money, and I can't pay off my debts. If you don't give me a job, I can't leave.what do you want me to thinkDo you have pets at home? 』

"I do nothing all day, like an idiot, I'm a jerk but I also have self-respect! 』

"Looking like an idiot, what do you want me to do..." The voice gradually fell, and there was no more words.

"Come in first." The man's face softened a bit, "Let's talk first." 』

"What are you doing here?" The young man became stubborn at this moment, "What am I now, tenant?apprentice? 』

"Let's talk first." 』The man stretched out his hand to grab the boy's arm.

"I don't! 』Jin Zaizhong squatted halfway, lowered his center of gravity and refused to step on the steps.

"obedient. 』Zheng Yunhao frowned.

"No! 』The boy continued to struggle, biting his lower lip tightly.

The man sighed, lowered his body slightly, and lifted Jin Zaizhong on his shoulders. The young man turned pale with fright, he didn't expect the man to do this trick.

"What are you doing? ”The young man struggled desperately, his ears turned red, “Put me down! 』

The man stretched out his hand and slapped the boy's ass hard, "Don't move around. 』

"ah!put me down! ’ The young man became angry from embarrassment, ‘You old pervert! 』

"Well, I'm an old pervert. 』The man didn't change his face, and carried the boy into the house.

After a while, the boy shouted angrily in the small room with warm yellow lights: "It's all red!" 』

"real?let me see. 』

"Look at that! 』

"It's just watching fart." 』

"ah! ! !Jung Yunho! ! ! ! 』

"Don't make trouble..."

The movement gradually died down, fingers stroked the red corners of the boy's eyes, Zheng Yunhao sighed silently, and gently tucked the corner of the boy's quilt.He found himself sighing more than ever during this time.

After going downstairs, Zheng Yunhao made a call: "Grandma, he's back."Yes, um, he's fine, he's all asleep.It's okay, don't worry, please let me know, okay, I won't attack him, don't worry, okay, I'm dead, and you should go to bed early. 』

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Yunhao poured a glass of water, sat at the table and drank quietly.

If the grandma facing the street hadn't told him that he saw Jin Jaejoong wandering in the street, he would probably still be looking around like a chicken without a head, instead of suppressing his temper and waiting for the boy to come home.

He hadn't had such big mood swings for a long time. After the youthful and frivolous past, all that was left was a pool of stagnant water.Zheng Yunhao didn't expect that one day this pool of stagnant water could be easily disturbed by others.

Zheng Yunhao scratched his hair angrily, and drank the water in the glass in one go.

Today, Jung Yunho went to work as usual, but when he came back, he found that Kim Jaejoong was not in the house.At first he didn't care, thinking that Kim Jaejoong just went out for a stroll and would be back soon.But when there was no trace of the boy until dark, Zheng Yunhao felt something was wrong.He drove out to look for it, but found nothing.

Only then did Zheng Yunhao realize that he knew very little about the boy, where he came from, where he would go, and whether he knew anyone he knew.Most of the time the boy was with him, they were just doing their own thing.Zheng Yunhao remembered that he liked to see the dimples on the lips of the boy when the corners of his mouth were raised, but subconsciously ignored the most normal care and needs of the boy.

He feels like a failure.But after thinking about it, he didn't actually need to know.

His intersection with the boy was an accident.The boy was injured and he helped him, but the boy had nowhere to go to give him protection. In detail, the development of the matter seemed reasonable but actually it was unreasonable.This time I was considered a good person to the end, but I still had the urge not to hit the south wall and not look back.

If there is a thread of fate that unknowingly entangles them together, Zheng Yunhao has no idea where the end of the thread will slide.He only knew that the existence of young people had become a habit for him.

He is used to watching the boy go downstairs to have breakfast every morning with his messy hair, he is used to the boy unconsciously staring in a daze but blushing and turning sideways when he notices his gaze, he is used to the boy getting big when he sees interesting news in the magazine. He was lying on his back on the floor with a smile, his calves kept kicking, and he was used to the boy standing at the door with a smile every evening when he came home, and said to him: Uncle, you are back.

Thinking of this title, Zheng Yunhao couldn't help but turn dark.

That's what Kim Jaejoong called him after returning from the funeral home for the first time.

"Uncle. 』The boy opened his big innocent eyes.

Zheng Yunhao gritted his teeth: "I'm not that old, you can call me brother." 』

"Uncle, how old are you? 』The boy ignored it.

Zheng Yunhao continued to grind his teeth: "28. 』

"Ah, that's still young! The boy said in surprise, "I'm only eight years younger than me." 』

"Um. 』So you can call me brother.

"Uncle, thank you for taking me in. 』Jin Jaejoong sincerely thanked him.

"……You're welcome. 』In the end, he had no choice but to compromise, and the habit can be changed slowly, the man secretly comforted himself.

"I will work hard and return all the money to you. 』

"Not urgent. 』

……

At that time, Zheng Yunhao didn't expect that he would have such a deep bond with the boy in the future.And that name can never be changed.

He began to enjoy the company of teenagers.

After realizing that the boy disappeared, he panicked, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat in an instant.He was afraid that something would happen to the boy, he was afraid that the boy would not find his way home, he was afraid that the boy would disappear from his life.

At that moment, he realized.

He cared about teenagers, very much.

Zheng Yunhao pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache and closed his eyes.
