SAYE

Gu Fei drove the motorcycle outside the store, and Gu Miao quickly climbed onto the back seat with her skateboard in her arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and pressed her face against his back.

"Let me look at the face." Gu Fei turned his head.

Gu Miao raised her face and looked at him.

"There are still tears, wipe them off." Gu Fei said.

Gu Miao rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, and then rubbed her sleeve under her nose.

"Hey," Gu Fei sighed, "If you were a boy, you would be considered rough."

Gu Miao smiled, and put her face back on his back.

Gu Fei drove the car out, and drove towards the shopping plaza in the city center with a clear goal. For Gu Miao, the so-called big meal only refers to the self-service barbecue in the shopping plaza.

This little girl has some stubbornness that is different from ordinary people. One of them is the one that is only willing to eat when she goes out to eat.

The biggest advantage of a small city is probably that there is only one center, and it doesn't take long no matter which district you go to.

But at this time, the barbecue restaurant has the most people, and there were almost no empty tables when they arrived.

"Does your store have any discounts today?" Gu Fei asked the waiter, took out his phone to check if there were any coupons, and then flicked Gu Miao's head, "Go find a table."

Gu Miao put the skateboard on the ground, stepped on it with one foot, and he quickly stepped on it: "Walk."

"Should the skateboard be placed at the front desk?" the waiter asked with a smile.

Gu Miao shook her head, quickly bent down to pick up the skateboard, and hugged it in her arms.

"She can take it herself." Gu Fei said.

Gu Miao ran in with the skateboard in her arms.

"Damn, let me tell you that you're hungry," Pan Zhi swallowed, "I'm serious, I'll visit you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you can take me to eat by the way, how can there be so many dishes at this price here? .”

"Did your family go to help the poor during the Chinese New Year?" Jiang Cheng held the phone, a plate in one hand, and a tong in the other, slowly picking up pork belly, fat beef, pork belly, fat beef... How many dishes are there actually? The choices are almost the same for him, and there are only a few things he likes to eat.

"Can it be the same?" Pan Zhi said, his tone a little low. "Last semester, we said that we would eat barbecue together during the Chinese New Year. As a result, not only did we not eat the meat, but we couldn't even see anyone."

"You're going to stay in a hotel now." Jiang Cheng put down the tongs, took another plate and piled it on top of the meat, and continued to hold it, "And you have to order it yourself, I don't have the energy to do anything now."

"I'll just stay with you." Pan Zhi said.

"No." Jiang Cheng frowned. He himself didn't want to stay in the room he was living in right now. "Book a standard room and I'll come over."

"...Do you have a bad relationship with that biological father of yours?" Pan Zhi thought for a while.

"We haven't established a relationship yet," Jiang Cheng carried two plates of meat, and went over to get another bottle of beer. "It's not good or bad..."

He froze when he walked to his table.

A table for four, a skateboard on a chair, a little bald man in a blue dress sitting on a chair, and a green woolen hat with pink flowers on the table.

"Gu Miao?" Jiang Cheng looked at her in surprise.

Gu Miao nodded, she didn't seem surprised, she took off the skateboard and put it under the table.

"You..." He put the plate in his hand on the table, saw that Gu Miao was already staring at the barbecue plate expectantly, he stretched out his hand to Gu Miao's eyes, "Who are you here with?"

Gu Miao stood up, pointed to the door, and waved her hands a few more times.

When Jiang Cheng turned his head to look over, he saw Gu Fei who was equally as surprised as him.

"Let's find another table," Gu Fei walked over, "Brother is already sitting at this table."

Gu Miao looked around, swallowed, and sat still.

"The waiter just told me that there are still a few tables over there." Gu Fei pointed inside, "Let's go over there."

Gu Miao still sat still, looking up at him with no expression on her face, not knowing what she wanted to express.

After a stalemate with her for a while, Gu Fei turned his head to look at Jiang Cheng.

"Huh?" Jiang Cheng also looked at him.

"Are you alone?" Gu Fei asked.

"Yes." Jiang Cheng responded and sat down.

The waiter came over and opened the oven, spread the paper, and put a few slices of meat on it, ready to brush.

"Then we..." Gu Fei seemed to be hesitating, and it took a while before he finished speaking, "Together?"

Jiang Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at him. To be honest, he really wanted to answer that you think well and go wash the quilt cover.

But Gu Miaoguang on the opposite side was also looking at him with two big eyes on his head. This was not very eloquent, and he nodded after brushing the meat twice.

"Thanks," Gu Fei said, pointing to Gu Miao again, "Sit here and wait for me, I'll go get something to eat."

Gu Miao nodded.

After Gu Fei walked away, Jiang Cheng spread two slices of beef on the paper and asked Gu Miao, "Which do you eat? Pork belly and fat beef."

Gu Miao pointed to the fat cow.

"Pork belly is also delicious. It's so grilled that it's sizzling... I can eat five or six plates." Jiang Cheng turned the meat over and brushed some oil on it. "Do you eat spicy food?"

Gu Miao shook her head.

Jiang Cheng put a piece of roasted beef on the plate in front of her: "Eat it."

Gu Miao hesitated a little, and turned her head to look in the direction Gu Fei was walking away from.

"It's okay..." Before Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he suddenly saw a clear scar on the back of Gu Miao's head, which was five centimeters long by visual inspection. He was a little surprised.

Gu Miao didn't see Gu Fei, so she turned around, lowered her head, stuffed the fat cow into her mouth, and smiled at him.

"Try a piece of pork belly?" Jiang Cheng asked her.

Gu Miao nodded.

He picked up another piece of pork belly and put it over, took the hat on the table and put it on the chair next to him, couldn't help but clicked his tongue again: "Who bought the hat for you?"

Gu Miao lowered her head and ate the meat without saying a word.

No food.

This little girl was probably the most perfect person he had ever met to carry out this rule.

Gu Fei quickly brought the food over, but his skills in handling the food were obviously not as good as his. He took three dishes in one trip. If he hadn't been on the phone with Pan Zhi just now, six dishes at a time would be fine. Fruit is about the same.

The table for four was against the wall, Gu Miao sat on the opposite side and ate deliciously, Jiang Cheng sat on the inside and grilled meat, Gu Fei hesitated and sat next to him.

Reluctantly, Jiang Cheng was about to take his food to bake for him, when he stretched out his hand and lightly poked Gu Miao's head: "Drink and get it yourself."

Gu Miao stood up and went to the wine counter, Gu Fei quickly got up and sat opposite.

Jiang Cheng glanced at him, then continued to roast pork belly and fat beef.

"You still eat such greasy food when you have a fever?" Gu Fei asked.

"Huh?" Jiang Cheng paused, looking at the rice cake he was baking, "You know?"

"It was hot when I dragged you in, don't you know." Gu Fei said.

"Drag?" Jiang Cheng uncontrollably imagined himself being dragged into the store by Gu Fei's hair like a broken sack.

"Otherwise, I'll still hug you." Gu Fei put two more slices of bacon on it, and the two of them grilled each other in half, looking very harmonious.

Jiang Cheng didn't know how to proceed with the topic, so he ate a piece of pork belly.

Gu Miao, who went to get drinks, came back with several bottles in her arms, and put the beer on the table one by one. Four bottles were all opened, and there was actually a glass of orange juice.

"You're pretty good," Jiang Cheng looked at her in shock, "Didn't you spill it all over the floor?"

Gu Miao shook her head, sat back at the table, and pushed the bottle of beer and the glass of orange juice in front of him.

"I don't..." He just wanted Gu Miao to drink orange juice by himself, but just as he opened his mouth, he found that Gu Miao had already poured a bottle of beer into his glass, "You..."

Gu Miao took a big sip from the cup, sighed happily, and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

Jiang Cheng glanced at Gu Fei, and found that he was completely indifferent and was wrapping a piece of pork belly into a lettuce leaf without even looking at Gu Miao.

"She drinks?" Jiang Cheng couldn't help asking.

"Well, drink it when eating barbecue." Gu Fei handed the wrapped lettuce wrap in front of him, "I don't usually drink it."

Jiang Cheng looked at the vegetable rolls.

Gu Fei didn't say anything, just held it up like that.

"...Thank you." He had no choice but to take it and take a bite.

"Aren't you afraid of eating pure pork belly?" Gu Fei asked.

"It's okay, I really like it." Jiang Cheng said.

Gu Fei wrapped two more rolls for Gu Miao, and then asked again: "Aren't you from the local area? Listen to the accent."

"No." Jiang Cheng replied, he was suddenly a little annoyed when he mentioned this, and he tried his best to show off the unhappiness that was easily suppressed by pork belly and fat beef.

"Who is Li Baoguo to you?" Gu Fei continued to ask.

Jiang Cheng was stunned, how could Gu Fei know about Li Baoguo?But this question was quickly overwhelmed by his annoyance, and he threw two pieces of meat on the grill: "What's none of your business?"

Gu Fei looked up at him, smiled and said nothing, picked up a bottle of beer and tapped it lightly on the bottle in front of him, took a sip and continued to barbecue.

It was the first time that Jiang Cheng ate face to face with a basic stranger at the same table. He didn't want to talk at first, and now he had nothing to say.

Gu Fei on the other side didn't seem to be interested in talking anymore. Gu Xiaomei was probably really dumb, and she ate happily with a sip of wine and meat.

In the silence, Jiang Cheng ate four plates of meat with his swollen head, feeling that she ate about the same, so Gu Fei went out to get it several times.

She put down her chopsticks after Jiang Cheng finished eating, leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed her belly.

"Full?" Gu Fei asked.

She nodded.

"It's better than your brother." Jiang Cheng couldn't help but summed it up.

"How did you get here?" Gu Fei also put down his chopsticks, "I'll take you back in a while, just on the way."

"Motor?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"En." Gu Fei nodded.

"Drunken driving and overloaded?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Gu Fei didn't make a sound, but stared at him for a long time with a look of mockery or something else in his eyes, and finally patted Gu Miao on the shoulder: "Let's go."

After Gu Fei took Gu Miao away, Jiang Cheng got up and went to get half a plate of meat and a small basket of lettuce leaves.

The pork belly with lettuce that Gu Fei wrapped for him before was quite delicious, refreshing and not greasy.

After eating half of the plate of meat, he felt that he should probably go back and digest his food.

But it was too cold outside, so he huddled behind the leather curtain at the entrance of the mall and took out his mobile phone to call a car, but no one answered the order after 5 minutes.

Instead, Pan Zhi called again: "There are two stations for this ticket, and the time is different. Which station should I buy?"

"East Station," Jiang Cheng said, "I only know East Station."

"Okay," Pan Zhi said, "Pick me up at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and you can send me your address later, and I'll look for nearby hotels."

"Probably not." Jiang Cheng recalled the overall feeling of that area, it didn't seem like a place where there could be a hotel, "You can book whatever you want, it's not too big in all."

After hanging up the phone, someone finally took the order, and when Jiang Cheng got into the car, he just felt uncomfortable.

Probably this is because the climate is not acclimatized. A person who rarely even catches a cold has changed into a delicate flower in a different environment. After tossing all morning and eating his favorite food, there is no sign of getting better at all. Hurry up! Lost all.

He closed his eyes and sighed.

In the past two days, the people from Mao's family who celebrated the New Year were probably out. There were quite a lot of cars on the road, and the driver drove hard, with one foot on the gas pedal and one foot on the brakes. Within 10 minutes of driving, Jiang Cheng felt his stomach start to churn.

Although the journey was not far away, and the whole journey took only half an hour, but when he saw the intersection of Gu Fei's house, he couldn't hold on anymore. He couldn't even speak, so he slapped the car door several times.

"Here?" the driver asked.

He nodded and slammed on the car door twice.

The driver stopped the car, opened the door like a fart bang, jumped out of the car, rushed to a trash can on the side of the road, and vomited it out.

He himself couldn't bear to watch this appalling scene.

After the ups and downs, it finally subsided, only his head was hurting like it was about to explode. He propped his hands on the wall and tried to get a tissue out of his pocket, but he didn't do it for a long time.

When the normal fire started from the sole of the foot, a small arm stretched out from the side, holding a few tissues in his hand.

He grabbed the paper towel, covered his mouth and wiped it a few times before looking aside.

There is no shortage of coincidences in this world.

Gu Miao was standing beside her, wearing her green hat, and three steps behind was Gu Fei, who was watching a play.

"Thank you." Jiang Cheng nodded at Gu Miao, this kind of embarrassing state where he couldn't just turn his head and leave or say "see what your mother thinks" was quite aggrieved.

Gu Miao reached out her hand, grabbed his hand, and pulled it forward, probably to help him walk.

"No need." Jiang Cheng withdrew his hand.

Gu Miao grabbed his hand again, still wanting to help him.

"No need, I'm fine." Jiang Cheng said.

When she wanted to withdraw her hand again, Gu Miao grabbed his hand and did not let go.

"Er Miao..." Gu Fei walked over.

Gu Miao still did not let go.

Jiang Cheng didn't know how to communicate with her, and all kinds of discomfort made him shake Gu Miao's hand away forcefully, "I said, don't help!"

Gu Miao didn't move, her hand was still in the air, and she froze.

Before Jiang Cheng's guilt could spread, he felt a sudden tightening in his neck, and was staggered by Gu Fei grabbing his collar from behind.

"Fuck..." He turned his head and bumped his elbows back at the same time.

Gu Fei's hand caught his elbow, and his grip on his collar tightened again, so he had no choice but to lean closer to Gu Fei affectionately.

The strangled neck made him want to vomit again.

"She likes you very much," Gu Fei whispered in his ear, "but sometimes she can't understand other people's emotions, please bear with me."

Jiang Cheng wanted to say that I have lived for 17 fucking years and I have never seen someone beg someone in this way, but he couldn't say so many words, he could only squeeze three words from his teeth: "I'm going to vomit."

Gu Fei let go of his hand.

He leaned against the wall and retched twice, but nothing came out.

Gu Fei handed over a bottle of water, he took it and unscrewed it and took two sips. After recovering, he looked at Gu Miao: "I'm fine, don't need to help me."

Gu Miao nodded and retreated to Gu Fei's side.

"I'm going back." He threw the half-drinked water into the trash can, turned around and walked to the intersection ahead.

Fuck!

Back at Li Baoguo's place, as soon as he opened the door, Jiang Cheng could smell the aroma of food.

Li Baoguo was standing in the living room dialing a number on his mobile phone.

Just as Jiang Cheng was about to speak, the cell phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and took a look. The number was Li Baoguo: "You..."

Li Baoguo turned his head when he heard the ringing of his mobile phone, and shouted loudly: "Yo! When did you come back? I'll call you!"

"Just walked in," Jiang Cheng closed the door, "You...didn't hear?"

"The ears are not good," Li Baoguo pointed to his ears, "you have to tilt your head towards the sound to hear clearly."

"Oh." Jiang Cheng responded.

"Where have you been?" Li Baoguo went into the kitchen and brought out a pot of soup, "I've been waiting for you to eat for a long time."

"I..." Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and didn't mention that he went to eat the self-service barbecue, "I went to the hospital."

"Go to the hospital?" Li Baoguo started yelling immediately, reaching out his hand to touch his face a few times while yelling, "Are you sick? What's wrong with you? Fever? Is it because you're not acclimatized!"

"Take the medicine, it's fine." Jiang Cheng endured his yellow-black hand that smelled of smoke for the sake of this lunch, and didn't slap it away.

"Let me tell you, if you don't feel well, you don't need to go to the hospital. There is a community clinic on the street next to it, and it looks pretty good," Li Baoguo said, "It's just that the door is a bit recessed and hard to see, and it's next to a small supermarket. "

"Oh," Jiang Cheng thought for a while, "A small supermarket? It's Gu Fei..."

"How do you know about Gu Fei?" Li Baoguo turned his head and looked at him with some surprise, "You just arrived, and you got hooked up with him?"

"No," Jiang Cheng didn't bother to explain, "I went to the small supermarket to buy something in the morning."

"Let me tell you," Li Baoguo's voice became louder, although his voice was always quite loud, but now it was especially loud, "Don't hang out with him, that kid is no fun!"

"... Oh." Jiang Cheng took off his coat and threw it into the back room.

Li Baoguo looked at him, probably waiting for him to ask why, and after waiting for a while to see that he didn't speak any more, he leaned over and said with a straight face, "Do you know why you say he's not a joke?"

"Why?" Jiang Cheng actually had no interest in knowing this, but he still asked in cooperation.

"He killed his own father!" Li Baoguo said, getting a little closer, spraying half of his face with excited saliva.

Jiang Cheng stood up abruptly and dodged it. He wiped a few times on his face fiercely, and when he was about to get angry, he suddenly realized: "What? Kill who?"

"His own father!" Li Baoguo half-yelled, "His own father was drowned."

Jiang Cheng saw that he was silent and looked at Li Baoguo's excited expression. If he wanted to, he probably could chat about this kind of gossip all afternoon.

Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng didn't believe it.

"You don't have to go to jail if you kill your own father." He sat on the chair by the table and squeezed the swollen eyebrows.

"It happened so many years ago, what kind of prison?" Li Baoguo also sat down, "No one saw it with their own eyes."

"No one saw it..." Jiang Cheng smiled.

"I know what's going on. When the police came, his father was in the lake, and he was on the shore. That expression..." Li Baoguo clicked his tongue a series of times, "It's obvious that he did it...you eat it, Have a taste and see if the food suits your taste?"

Jiang Cheng didn't make a sound, and took a piece of pork ribs.

"It's for his family, Er Miao," Li Baoguo probably saw that he didn't believe it, and added as if to strengthen his credibility, "I was beaten by his father, and I won't talk anymore after I rescued him." .”

"Ah." Jiang Cheng bit his ribs in response, remembering the shocking scar on the back of Gu Miao's head.
