Did the little mute speak today?

There was still unfinished braised pork in the kitchen last night, so Chao Ge simply made a bowl of simple soy sauce noodles and cut the braised pork into small pieces on top.

Just as it was done, Chaoge's cell phone rang.

He opened it and saw that it was Fang Shi, a good friend of him and Han Lin, who had sent him a message.

Fang Shi: Xiaoge, are you free now?

Fang Shi: There is a newcomer in 404, but unfortunately, the family doesn't have time, can you accompany me to pick it up?

404 is a safe house established by Fang Shi, which is specially designed to accommodate LGBTQ people who are temporarily homeless due to various reasons.

Chao Ge is a non-staff member of 404, and often helps Fang Shi pick up new members.

Eat Well: If you have time, do you want to go now?

Fang Shi: Yes, it’s troublesome.

Eat well: you are at home or school, I will pick you up first.

Fang Shi: At school.

Fang Shi is a professor at the University of Medical Sciences, and the hospital where Han Lin works is the affiliated hospital of the University of Medical Sciences. It is very close, and it is very convenient for Chaoge to pick up people.

Chaoge put away her mobile phone, put the noodles on her hand and stood at the door of the guest room, which was closed.

Chao Ge struggled to knock on the door with a hand.

Han Xiaojun opened the door and looked at Chao Ge outside the door.

Han Xiaojun is young, but he draws fast. He is about the same size as Chaoge, and he will probably be taller than Chaoge in a short time.

Chao Ge handed the noodles to Han Xiaojun, but Han Xiaojun didn't speak, and closed the door after taking the bowl.

Chaoge quickly stopped him, bowed his head and typed on the phone.

[I'm going out to pick up a friend, I can't go home for lunch at noon, do you want to go with me? ]

Han Xiaojun frowned: "No."

Chaoge typed again, took out 100 yuan from the bag and handed it to Han Xiaojun: [Then you take this money, can you order a takeaway at noon? ]

Just as Han Xiaojun was about to nod, a wave of malice welled up in his heart again: "My brother asked you to take care of me, and he asked you to give me takeaway?"

Chaoge was a little embarrassed when asked.

Han Xiaojun snorted coldly, and without further entanglement, took the 100 yuan: "Okay, just leave if you want to, don't bother me."

After finishing speaking, he turned and went back to the room, and slammed the door shut with a "bang".

Chaoge's door was slammed down again, and she no longer felt numb like last time, but felt very calm instead.

He slowly went back to the house to change his clothes, thinking about why he was so calm.

Is this the power of housework?

With this doubt, Chao Ge drove to the Medical University to pick up Fang Shi.

"Morning, I'm going to trouble you again this time, Xiao Ge." Fang Shi said after getting into the car, "I planned to pick it up with Fanfan, but that person came earlier, and Fanfan is still doing experiments."

Chaoge gestured: [It's okay, where to pick me up? ]

Fang Shi said, "The old place."

The old place refers to the largest passenger terminal in their city, and they usually go there to pick up people from other places.

"The person who came this time is a bit special." On the way, Fang Shi and Chao Ge introduced, "He has a child in his belly, and he is already 6 months old."

pregnant?

Chaoge glanced at Fang Shi in surprise, then turned his gaze back to the road.

Fang Shi said: "His affairs are very complicated. He escaped from home. It's inconvenient to talk about the specifics. Anyway, let's take care of him."

Nodding towards the song, he couldn't help thinking more.

A pregnant woman who escaped from home can make up many stories by thinking about it.

Chao Ge was very worried. This was the first time 404 met a pregnant woman. Can they take good care of her?

"Oh yes, he is an FtM." Fang Shi said.

FtM?Chaoge was puzzled.

Fang Shi explained: "It's a transgender man, his body is feminine, but his heart is a man."

Chao Ge was startled, so why is he still pregnant?

"That's why I said his affairs are a bit complicated." Fang Shi said, "That's all the basic information."

Chao Ge nodded to indicate that he knew, but the shock in his heart could not be suppressed for a long time.

A pregnant transgender man, or a pregnant woman who ran away from home... No, it should be called a pregnant woman?

Chaoge thought tangledly.

There was no traffic jam on the road, and the two arrived at the passenger terminal soon.

Chao Ge found an empty parking lot, and went down with Fang Shi to pick him up.

Fang Shi said that the man was hiding in the bathroom of the passenger terminal.

After entering, Fang Shi called the other party, and said to Chaoge: "He will come out immediately, we will wait for him here."

Nod to the song.

That person came out very slowly, Chaoge had never seen him before, but when he came out of the bathroom, Chaoge recognized him at a glance.

The other party was very thin, and even though she was six months pregnant, she didn't show her pregnancy under the loose clothes.He covered himself very tightly, wearing long-sleeved trousers on a hot day, a peaked cap on his head, a mask and sunglasses on his face, and there was almost nothing exposed except for his hands.

Fang Shi obviously knew the other person's attire, and walked towards him: "Hi, I'm Fang Shi, is this He Yanshan?"

The man nodded and replied in a low voice, "Hello."

His voice is very low, and it sounds neutral. If he said it was a girl or a boy, some people would believe it.

Fang Shi knew it was inconvenient to chat here: "Let's get in the car first."

He Yanshan nodded: "Okay, thank you."

The three returned to the parking lot.

On the road, He Yanshan walked behind Fang Shi, and Chaoge fell at the end. He Yanshan looked at him very vigilantly, and Fang Shi introduced him in a timely manner: "He is called Chaoge, and he is also one of us. Chaoge can't speak, but he can hear you." sound."

Chao Ge obviously noticed that after Fang Shi finished introducing him, He Yanshan's tense back in front of him relaxed slightly, and he turned his head and nodded to him.

Chaoge smiled and waved at him.

After getting in the car, Fang Shi began to introduce 404 and the surrounding environment of 404 in a warm voice, just like every time he received a non-local newcomer, in order to make the newcomer feel relaxed.

When He Yanshan got in the car, he didn't relax his vigilance and took off his hat, mask and sunglasses, but he listened carefully to Fang Shi's words and responded from time to time.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the 404 safe house.

The safe house is a villa that Fang Shi bought in a place not far from the University of Medical Sciences. With some minor modifications, it can accommodate many people.

Now there are four permanent residents in it, namely Fang Shi, his boyfriend Yang Yufan, Yang Yufan's younger sister, and Aunt Li who has been helping 404.

Originally, Yang Yufan's grandfather lived in 404, but Yang Yufan's grandfather passed away a year ago, and there are only four of them left.

In addition, 404 has recently been inhabited by a person.

It was a girl who only came to 404 two months ago. She was kicked out by her family because she came out of the closet. At that time, Chaoge and Fang Shi were also the ones who picked her up. Later, they even went out to play together, very lively and cute.

The three of them slipped into the house together.

Aunt Li was mopping the floor in the room when she heard the noise and came over: "Are you back?"

Fang Shi looked up and smiled at her, and introduced, "Aunt Li, this is He Yanshan."

"Welcome, welcome, come, wear these shoes." Aunt Li took out a pair of soft sandals from the shoe cabinet.

He Yanshan looked at her through the sunglasses: "Thank you."

"You don't have to be so polite, you are a family when you come here." Aunt Li slid her eyes on He Yanshan's stomach, "The soup is still simmering in the kitchen, I'll go in and have a look."

What happened after that had little to do with Chaoge, he couldn't speak, so he could only make a smiling figure beside him.

A few people had dinner together at noon, and Chaoge drove home.

He was thinking about Han Xiaojun in his heart, wondering if the other party had a good lunch.

When I got home, I found that Han Xiaojun not only ate, but also enjoyed it.

The other party directly ordered Haidilao takeaway and went home.

As soon as Chaoge entered the room, he could smell the smell. He was a little surprised to see that the clean and tidy living room before going out was now a mess. The coffee table was full of various ingredients, and there was a bag of snacks on the left and the right. The pot in the middle is still bubbling.

And Han Xiaojun leaned crookedly on Han Lin's lazy sofa, holding a game controller in one hand and drinking Coke in the other.

Hearing the sound, he turned his head to look at Chaoge, hummed softly, and went back to eat his own.

Chaoge was a little shocked.

Still a little hungry.

To be honest, he likes hot pot very much.

Chaoge walked to Han Xiaojun and sat down.

Han Xiaojun glanced at him, but said nothing, he was playing Contra.

Han Lin likes to play Contra, and only Contra. The only controller games at home are Contra of various series.

Seeing Han Xiaojun's proficiency, Chao Ge thought that the two of them were indeed brothers, and they looked so similar in playing games.

Obviously I haven't had much contact with it, why is it so similar?

Chaoge hugged his knees to watch him play games.

Han Xiaojun didn't chase him away either, so he pressed a button with a small Cantonese-style sausage in his mouth, pretending that there was no one around him.

For a while, the two unexpectedly reached harmony.

"Hello." Han Xiaojun said suddenly, "How is your English?"

Chaoge froze for a moment, then turned to look at him.

Han Xiaojun frowned, and asked again: "How is your English?"

Chaoge gave him a thumbs up.

Han Xiaojun asked: "Is this a good meaning?"

Nod to the song.

"Then help me with my English homework." Han Xiaojun said without any psychological burden.

Chao Ge shook his head, took out his mobile phone and typed: [I can teach you. ]

"Do I need you to teach me? I'm just too lazy to write it myself." Han Xiaojun said forcefully, "Just say whether you can help me with this."

Chaoge typing: [I can't help you, it's wrong. ]

Han Xiaojun snorted coldly: "Pedantic."

Chaoge typed and said: [English is very simple, let's try it, I will accompany you to do your homework^_^]

Han Xiaojun thought to himself, here we go again, this broken face is ugly as hell.

"Who wants you to accompany me to do my homework." Han Xiaojun said, "I'm not a child, and I still need you to watch over me."

[This is not surveillance, I just want to spend more time with you, you are going back to school tomorrow, Han Lin said that he will take you back after dinner. ] Chaoge typing.

Han Xiaojun's eyes only had four words "send you back".

He didn't want to go back.

Deep down in Chaoge's heart, he also didn't want Han Xiaojun to leave, but this morning Han Rin had already issued an ultimatum, asking him to send Han Xiaojun home.

The room was very quiet for a while, except that the hot pot was still gurgling.

Chaoge looked at Han Xiaojun cautiously.

He didn't know why, but after he came back, Han Xiaojun's hostility towards him seemed not as strong as before, at least not like before, he didn't even bother to talk to him.

If...if they spend a little more time together, will Han Xiaojun and his relationship with Han Lin become better?

Chao Ge thought about it for a while, and decided to cut first and then play.

[Let's do our homework. ] Chaoge typed and handed it to Han Xiaojun.

Han Xiaojun frowned, he was so full of thoughts about being sent home now, how could he be in the mood to do his homework.

Unexpectedly, Chaoge put the phone back and typed a few more words.

Han Xiaojun took a closer look and found that it said—[After finishing my homework, my car will run out of gas. ]
