Seven's secret

Murong walked lightly for a day, and when he got home he felt a dull pain in his heels, he took a shower with his whole body sore and limp, and after coming out, he collapsed on the sofa, not even wanting to move a finger.

There is a missed call on the phone, and there is also a text message, both of which are Xiao Liu's number. The text message said that he is on duty tonight and will not go home for dinner. Let him make something for himself. Don't deal with instant noodles. Order takeout, please.In fact, Xiao Liu's guess was wrong, Murong Qing didn't want to eat noodles at all.He didn't like to eat pasta in the first place, and the noodles cooked by himself were even less appetizing.As for the takeaway, Murong Qing went through the menus of several restaurants he knew in his mind, and felt that none of the dishes could arouse his appetite.

Or go hungry.

Murong looked lightly at the pitiful eyes on the balcony, and sighed, "I'll get you some food after a while." I don't know how Ling Dongzhi used to feed these cats, obviously he didn't want to eat anymore , I have to wait patiently for these uncles.

Murong Qing thought to himself, is such a bad feeling the feeling of being a father?

After nestling on the sofa in a daze for a while, the phone rang again, and it was Pei Rong calling.Murong Qing thought that he still had something to tell him about work, so when he answered the phone, he subconsciously straightened his body.

"Officer Pei?"

"It's me," Pei Rong's voice was not very confident, "Then what, I'm downstairs with something in my hand, open the door for me in two minutes."

Murong was slightly stunned, and opened the door?What door to open?He leaned over to the window with the phone, just in time to see Pei Rong getting out of the car with a big bag and a small bag, raised his head as if he had sensed it when he closed the car door with his feet, and grinned in his direction.Murong looked at him in a daze, and felt that the man downstairs with a silly smile was not the same person as the cunning and calm Police Officer Pei during the day.

Murong Qing hurriedly walked over to open the door, his place is on the second floor, and it was only a few steps up from downstairs.

Sure enough, as soon as the door was opened, Pei Rong came up, holding a large plastic bag in each of his left and right hands, which seemed to be stuffed with a bunch of boxes.Murong Qing hurriedly walked over to take the things from him, Pei Rong turned his shoulders to get out of his way, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, it looks heavy, but it's not heavy."

Murong lightly smelled the smell of food, and guessed that he was bringing food to him, and his heart became even more confused.

Which one is this singing?

Pei Rong put the things on the dining table, turned around and gave him a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Murong, I promised my grandfather yesterday that I would take you home for dinner after I finish my work, but I forgot."

Murong looked at him lightly as if listening to someone tell a joke, "...and then you brought it to me?"

Pei Rong was a little embarrassed, "Not all, I brought my share too."

Murong Qing had never encountered such a situation before, so he didn't know how to react for a while.It took him a while to realize that he had to change his slippers first, Xiaoliu did most of the housework at home, but it didn't mean that Murong Qing could tolerate the mess in the room.In fact, Xiao Liu always said that he was a clean freak, but he just disguised himself as a person with more easy-going habits.

"Let's warm it up a little bit," Pei Rong said, "It's a bit cold after tossing around on the road for a while."

Murong Qing still knows how to cook hot dishes.He washed his hands, plated the food that Pei Rong brought, heated it in the microwave, and then set the dishes for two people.Taking advantage of the hot dishes, I also made dinner for the cats.Xiao Liu knew that he had no patience for these things, so all the fish and meat were prepared in advance, and Xiao Qi only needed to take them out and warm them up.

Pei Rong watched him go to the balcony to feed the cat with a disgusted expression on his face, but the movements under his hands were very gentle and meticulous, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little.The impression Murong Xiaoqi left on him has always been cold and indifferent, until this time he realized that he is just a big boy, and there is also a childish side in his personality.

Pei Rong heard from his grandfather that the Murong brothers lived in a relative's house. He didn't know what kind of relative the landlord and their brothers were. He was a little unsure about the relationship between the two brothers. It's quite comfortable, it should be a relative with a good relationship.Thinking of this, she felt that Murong Qing was a bit pitiful, how could living in someone else's house be as comfortable as living in her own.It was not easy for him to come to a strange city to work hard at a young age.

Murong Qing didn't know what was going on with Pei Rong, so after washing his hands and arranging the plates, he invited him to come over for dinner.This dinner was also a surprise for him, he had decided to have a hungry meal, but he didn't expect someone to deliver a big meal to his door.Murong Qing tasted every dish and was full of praise for their aunt's cooking.

Pei Rong felt more and more pitiful for him.He had observed it when he entered the door, and there was no sign of fire in the kitchen at all. If he hadn't come, maybe he would have skipped this meal.

"Xiaoqi," Pei Rong was feeling sorry for him, and unknowingly used the title of grandpa to him, "You call my grandpa uncle, and our relationship is quite close. What do you have in the future? If you need help, just come to me, don't be polite to me. My grandfather doesn't treat you as an outsider, and he kicked me when he forgot to take you back for dinner today."

Murong Qing couldn't imagine what it would be like for the gentle and elegant Professor Pei to kick someone, so a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Pei Rong had a joking expression in his eyes, "Hey, just laugh if you want to, don't save me face."

Murong Qing was a little moved, but didn't know how to express it.In the past, people always said that he could entertain guests and knew how to deal with different people, but he never realized that he was so stupid.

"That...you go back and thank uncle for me."

Pei Rong smiled and said, "Don't be polite, remember to find me in the future if you need something."

Murong looked at him lightly and nodded slightly.

When you are a guest at someone else's house, it is not easy to put down the dishes and leave.

While Murong Qing was tidying up the kitchen, Pei Rong wandered around the room with a cup of tea.He remembered that his grandfather told him that the original owner of this house was a painter, and he should be very skilled in decoration design.Although he couldn't see where there was a sense of design, the layout and decoration of the room was very comfortable, and the brothers also kept it tidy.It can be seen that neither is the sloppy type.

The only disharmony was a group of cats on the balcony. Pei Rong noticed that the cats came in and out through the window of the side door of the balcony, which looked like a temporary shelter.

"What's the matter with these cats?" Pei Rong couldn't help asking, "You raised them?"

Murong Qing was wiping the water stains on the countertop with a rag, when he heard his voice, he said without raising his head: "Winter Solstice likes to take care of stray cats, have you noticed his balcony? There are always window slits all year round. .When the weather is bad, many stray cats come here to spend the night.”

Pei Rong glanced at the huddled hairballs on the balcony, and asked casually, "Aren't you bothered?"

"I don't like it." Murong Qing said helplessly: "But there is no way, I have already promised the winter solstice, I will take care of them when they come over. Actually, it is not too troublesome, the market is not far from here, and it is convenient to buy fish and vegetables. Just mix it with rice, they are actually not too picky about taste. My brother will also bring back canned cat food."

Pei Rong noticed that when he said these words, he glanced in the direction of the balcony. Although there was some helplessness in his eyes, it was more of a softness that could not be described in words.It's like an elder brother giving his favorite candy to his younger brother, and then he put on a fierce face and said, "Take it and eat it, I don't care for it, it's too bad to eat."

Pei Rong couldn't help laughing.

Murong lightly cut a plate of fruit and brought it out, seeing him smiling towards the balcony, he thought he liked these hairballs, so he said: "If you like it, discuss it with them and see who is willing to go home with you."

Pei Rong felt very happy to use the word "negotiate". How to negotiate with the cat?It can't be seen that Murong is Qing Leng and indifferent, but he is still a master of telling bad jokes.

"Forget it," Pei Rong shook his head, "I haven't eaten my last meal, so how can I keep a pet?"

It was only then that Murong Qing realized that he was a policeman. He was probably very busy at work and had an irregular life. He suddenly felt that being a policeman was not easy, hard work and dangerous.It was the first time for him to observe Pei Rong at such a close distance, and he found that he was really strong, tall, with broad shoulders, and his muscles were exposed under the rolled up sleeves. Tough guy feeling.

Murong lightly looked at his slender arms, should he enroll in some kind of fitness class?Some time ago, Xiao Liu said that he would run to work in the morning, um, should he also run to Antique Street every day?

Pei Rong looked at the wall clock on the wall, put down his teacup and said, "It's been a tiring day today, you should go to bed earlier, I'll be back right away."

Murong Qing also stood up, "Today...thank you."

Pei Rong smiled and said, "You're welcome, I should thank you. If there is anything I need to ask you for advice, don't shirk."

Murong pursed her lips lightly, "Okay."

Pei Rong laughed again, feeling that the child's behavior at home was really different from that outside.Looking at the way he gets along with Meng Ke and the others, although his attitude is quite cold, his speech is still smooth and thoughtful.Why did he become a shy and introverted child when he got home?

Pei Rong walked downstairs, couldn't help but looked up again.The curtains on the second floor have been drawn, and the light shines through the light-colored curtains, creating a misty misty white in the night, which is pale and thin against the bright red curtains on the upper floor with Double Happiness.Pei Rong suddenly had an illusion, as if it was not a house, but a moving glass jar, and Murong Qing was a quiet plant planted inside.

Pei Rong has been a policeman for so many years, and has seen all kinds of people, normal and sick.But at this moment, he felt that Murong Qing's situation was not so easy to define.This person doesn't seem to have a social barrier, but at the same time keeps a very deliberate distance from everyone.

If he had to make a summary of this situation, he thought, it should be called micro-morbidity.

There are problems, but it should still be curable.

Pei Rong thought about it all the way, and when he was about to get home, he suddenly came back to his senses, what was he thinking, didn't he see that people were also very embarrassed when they saw him coming to the door, and wanted to kick him out directly, and hindered the elders Feeling embarrassed to start.A bunch of delicacies were delivered to the door, but I didn't see him smiling.

As soon as my train of thought turned back a little, it drifted away before I knew it.Pei Rong thought to himself, it seems that he has never seen this person smile before...
