Fawn

In the ninth lunar month of this year, when the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to come, Cheng Shiteng still came to Donghezi.

He came back very calmly, because there was no father watching over him, so he could walk around and meet people casually.The car passed the main road outside the city and drove all the way to Xiaolu's house.Xiaolu was not at home at the time, and Zhang Chunsheng received him.Zhang Chunsheng was not enthusiastic about Cheng Shiteng, but he did not neglect him either. He invited him to sit down in the main room, brought him a pot of tea, and then quietly left.

Cheng Shiteng didn't look at the flowers and grass in the yard very familiarly like last time.Sitting quietly in the room, he didn't say a word, just drinking tea slowly.

After finishing a pot of hot tea, the little deer came back.Because he really didn't expect him to come suddenly, Xiaolu looked at him when he entered the door, a little dazed.He stood up, neither taunting nor elated, just smiled and said, "I want to come and spend the holidays with you."

Xiaolu has no interest in the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, and has no plans to spend the festival with anyone, but since Cheng Shiteng came and said this again, he has no reason to refuse in person.Seeing that Zhang Chunsheng followed in, he took off his military uniform jacket and handed it to Zhang Chunsheng, and at the same time asked lightly, "How are you recently?"

Cheng Shiteng sat back in his original position, and agreed in a low voice: "Yeah."

Xiaolu knew that he was definitely not going to get better recently, so after taking a hot towel from Zhang Chunsheng and wiping his hands and face, he continued to ask him, "Did you move on the errand?"

Cheng Shiteng replied: "It's still working."

Across the Eight Immortals table, Xiao Lu also sat down, picked up the teapot to pour tea, and commented without raising his eyes: "That's good."

The teapot was empty, and he only poured out a few drops of tea.Zhang Chunsheng had just hung the military uniform on the coat rack for him, when he saw this, he strode over, took the teapot and went out to the kitchen.Cheng Shiteng always felt that there was a gloomy pressure on this black-faced lieutenant, so seeing that he really left, he pushed his teacup forward: "There is still half a cup here."

The little deer was extremely thirsty, and he didn't think much about it when he heard the words. He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.When the tea entered his stomach and the teacup fell back on the table, he felt awkward, and then realized that he had drunk Cheng Shiteng's leftover tea.From the perspective of hygiene, this is not a problem, because Cheng Shiteng has always been clean and healthy, and has no infectious diseases, but he subconsciously does not want to get too close to this person.

Cheng Shiteng reached out and took the teacup back in front of him, and at the same time said lightly, "I'm really alone this time. In fact, I don't usually see him often, but you know, there are always many people around him, and I occasionally When I went back, I felt that the house was very lively. Now he is gone, and no one is there. I care about living in the house in the concession, it’s really—”

At this point, he didn't say anything, just shook his head with a wry smile.

Zhang Chunsheng came in, holding a pot of new tea in one hand and a plate of grapes in the other.After putting away the new tea and grapes, he asked Xiao Lu in a very low voice: "Is Master hungry?"

Fawn stared at Grape and replied: "Let's have dinner early today."

Zhang Chunsheng nodded, then turned and walked out.

The grapes are large and full, and each one is firm and fresh.Xiaolu grabbed a grain and threw it into his mouth, and then Cheng Shiteng said just now: "You can't miss the excitement."

Cheng Shiteng turned his head and stared at the plate of grapes, for some reason, it looked familiar.But he doesn't like this fruit very much, so why it looks familiar to him, he can't explain for a while.

"I used to like to play." There was still traces of a wry smile on his face: "Now I'm not so interested. The main reason is that there is no one around me who can talk."

When Xiao Lu heard this, he immediately thought of He Ruolong in his mind—when He Ruolong was alive, he was the "talking person" by his side.Some words are not very important, or even have no content or meaning, but they can only be said to such a person, and I feel comfortable when I say it, and I am not afraid of him leaking secrets, nor afraid of his jokes.

"How old are you?" He said casually, "Why do you lose interest in playing?"

Cheng Shiteng thought for a while, and then he seemed confused and felt funny: "I probably grew up too fast when I was young. I started going out to play when I was thirteen or fourteen, and I even went out to play with those eighteen, nineteen, and twenty-year-olds. I've played with people at the age of [-], and I've played it all over, and I'm tired of playing. I'm used to the kind of excitement you mentioned, and I don't think it's interesting."

Xiao Lu laughed, "Your father played with it until he died."

Cheng Shiteng glanced at him, then lowered his head and said nothing - although the dead were the worst, his father was irresistible, especially in front of Xiaolu.

Xiaolu pushed the white porcelain plate towards him: "Eat grapes."

Cheng Shiteng picked up a grape and looked at it, then suddenly smiled: "I remember, the first time I brought you home, I fed you such a big plate of grapes, which made you vomit."

Xiaolu has no interest in reminiscing about time gone by, so he simply ignores him.

The people who followed Cheng Shiteng this trip, apart from the driver and a bodyguard, were Noble.Under Zhang Chunsheng's guidance, Noble carried Cheng Shiteng's luggage to the empty room in the back garden.There is not much furniture in this room, but the windows are bright and clean. General Zhao once stayed here for one night, and Cheng Shiteng also slept here for several nights the last time he came here.In the deer house, it can be regarded as a guest room.

Noble had eyes and scheming, and he always smiled at Zhang Chunsheng along the way, and when he put his luggage in the room, he took out his cigarette case, thanked Zhang Chunsheng for his hard work and respected his cigarette, and conveniently tucked in another roll of banknotes. In Zhang Chunsheng's trouser pocket.Zhang Chunsheng was very humble and serious, expressing that he was not working hard, then waved his hand at the cigarette in front of him, then took out the roll of banknotes, and gently put it on the table beside him.

Seeing this, Noble still smiled, and the smile made him uneasy. He suspected that he had given too little money and offended this soot-like deputy chief.Zhang Chunsheng saw Noble's uneasiness, but he turned and left without saying a word. He deliberately let the other party feel uneasy.

Dinner was not served early, even a little later than usual, and it was all the usual food, without extra food.Xiaolu's basic necessities of life are all managed by Zhang Chunsheng, and now he and Cheng Shiteng are sitting opposite each other around the table, he holds up his rice bowl and looks at the dishes, of course he knows what Zhang Chunsheng has done.

But he didn't blame Zhang Chunsheng. Sometimes Zhang Chunsheng stabbed him or ignored him for a long time, and he could bear it.Because he knew that Zhang Chunsheng had already put himself in his heart, and there was only one himself in his heart.Like a silent ascetic believer, he does not entertain or indulge, and lives only for himself.

Before moving his chopsticks, Xiao Lu turned his head to the door and said, "Bring a bottle of wine!"

Although this sentence is an order, it has a soft tone.Zhang Chunsheng outside the door listened, and although he was reluctant, he also agreed.In a moment he came in with a tray containing, as usual, only a bottle of brandy and a glass.

Cheng Shiteng has never seen such a dark cloud covered person in his life, and a bottle of wine is brought in, like a black cloud overwhelming the city, making people breathless.He didn't dare to work hard for Zhang Chunsheng. When Zhang Chunsheng turned around and left, he picked up the wine bottle and poured half a glass of wine, then picked it up and took a sip.After taking a mouthful of brandy, he seemed to have replenished his vitality, his chest felt a little warmer, and his blood flow seemed to be much more active.Looking up at Xiao Lu, he said in a low voice: "In the past few months, I have not been happy for a moment. There are all bad things outside, and when I get home, the house is empty again, but he still lives there for a long time. His things are kept everywhere—no matter how bad he is, he is also my father, from childhood to adulthood, that is to say, he has taken care of me."

Having said that, he stared at the wine glass in his hand and fell silent. After the silence, he shook his head again.

Immediately, he leaned over and handed the wine glass to Xiao Lu, who whispered, "Take a sip."

Wine is good wine, and the aroma of wine is more attractive than the wine itself.The little deer sniffed and sniffed, then touched his hand and took a sip as expected.

Cheng Shiteng asked in a low voice, "Can't you ask him to bring you another cup?"

Xiaolu hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Forget it!"

Zhang Chunsheng's face was very dark today, and Xiaolu didn't dare to order him.
