My roommate is finally back to normal

The middle-aged policeman, Cao Mingyi, Gao Boxin's uncle, finally loosened the corners of his mouth after Gao Boxin called out.

Hearing Tong Mo call himself that, he couldn't even hold back his expression.

He patted Gao Boxin on the shoulder, then walked out.

After the two young people walked out of the police station, Cao Mingyi smiled at them.

"This classmate is called Tong Mo, right? I've heard Gao Boxin mention you a few times." Cao Mingyi turned to look at Tong Mo.

Gao Boxin never expected that his uncle's first words after falling off the horse would be to sell himself, and he wanted to cover his uncle's mouth but didn't dare, so he could only stand behind Tong Mo, his face turned red in embarrassment.

Tong Mo came back to his senses at this moment, and he smiled at Cao Mingyi with some embarrassment: "Hello, uncle, I am Tong Mo, I am at the same table as Gao Boxin, just now... I was so surprised, I didn't expect You are his uncle."

"It's true that not many people know about it. I usually don't go to your school, and he doesn't let me go either." Cao Mingyi said.

The two young people were unavoidably cautious in front of their elders. After chatting for a few words, Cao Mingyi suggested: "You guys haven't had dinner yet, have you? I should be off work in a while, why don't you go to my house and have something to eat. "

Tong Mo looked at Gao Boxin.

He didn't know the relationship between this uncle and Gao Boxin, and whether it was convenient to go directly to Cao Mingyi's house for dinner.

Gao Boxin took a step forward, bowed his head slightly, and whispered in his ear: "There are only three people in my uncle's family, uncle, aunt, and a ten-year-old nephew. You won't disturb them when you go, just tell me I can go if you want to."

Tong Mo thought for a while, then lowered his voice and asked him, "How is your relationship?"

Hearing this sentence, Cao Mingyi suddenly stepped forward and walked a little farther away.

Gao Boxin looked at Cao Mingyi's back and said in a low voice, "He is my legal guardian now."

Tong Mo looked at Gao Boxin in surprise, but he didn't ask any further questions, but just nodded.

Cao Mingyi asked Gao Boxin to take Tong Mo back to his home first, and Tong Mo sent a WeChat message to Uncle Lin and got on Gao Boxin's bicycle.

Gao Boxin rode his bicycle slowly along the street, turned into an alley, and entered a lively old neighborhood.

Tong Mo felt that the people standing on the roadside of the community seemed to know Gao Boxin, and they all greeted Gao Boxin warmly.

They asked: "Xiao Gao came to your uncle's house today? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Gao Boxin just nodded and said yes, and quickly led Tong Mo into an apartment building that looked a bit old.

The unit building is six stories high and is a building without an elevator.

The floor of the corridor has been swept clean, but the paint on the walls has almost peeled off, and traces of torn paper can be seen everywhere.

Cao Mingyi's house lived on the third floor, and Gao Boxin walked up to the first floor almost three steps into one step.

Tong Mo followed behind him slowly.

He has gone through a lot of changes from school to now, and he is still hungry, so his body is really not comfortable right now.

Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle and blowing the wind slowly on the side of the street just now, he felt a lot more comfortable, but now the lingering smell in this old house made him feel blocked again and again.

He looked up at the numbers posted on the corridor, and thought, probably because he was not used to coming to other people's homes.

But why did he agree to come with Gao Boxin?

He couldn't remember why.

I just remember that when Gao Boxin looked at Cao Mingyi's back and said that sentence, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Even though there was no expression on Gao Boxin's face, there was no sadness in his eyes.

Gao Boxin knocked on the door twice, and the sound of cheerful footsteps came from the room.

The sound insulation of this old building is not very good, so standing outside the door, Tong Mo could easily hear a crisp little boy's voice: "Who is knocking on the door? Can I open the door? Mom!"

With his fingers still on the door, Gao Boxin leaned forward slightly, and raised his voice, "Cao Anning, it's me, open the door!"

The room was quiet for a second, and the little boy suddenly cried: "Mom! My brother is here, what should I do! I haven't changed my clothes yet, so I won't go out!"

There were several footsteps in the door, and a woman came out and opened the door, with a helpless smile on her face: "It's time to eat, where do you want to go? Be good, come and call brother."

Gao Baixin looked down at the top of the little boy's head expressionlessly, and seeing the little boy wringing his fingers on the piece of clothes on his chest, he asked mercilessly, "How did you get this dirty piece on the clothes? Skinned again?"

Cao Anning sobbed and said, "I was helping my mother to feed Xiao Yu'er, and I slipped and accidentally scratched my clothes."

"Did you fall? Are you injured?" Gao Boxin hugged Cao Anning with one hand and walked into the room.

Tong Mo followed and took a step inside.

The woman smiled at him, and pointed to the small tea table in the middle of the room: "Sit down, eat some fruit first, the dishes will be ready soon."

She greeted Gao Boxin again: "I'll go cook first, you can sit with your classmate for a while."

Gao Boxin hummed, bowed his head and continued to reprimand Cao Anning:

"You're such an old man, how can you change your clothes? Change your clothes before eating."

Cao Anning pursed her lips: "Mom said there's no rush, she said she can take a shower and change clothes after eating..."

While explaining, he got off Gao Boxin's lap and ran to the room: "I'm going to change my clothes!"

Tong Mo was still standing, Gao Boxin sat on the sofa and looked at him for a while, then patted the seat beside her: "Come and sit here, don't be so reserved."

Gao Boxin said that there is no need to be restrained, but Gao Boxin himself was obviously a little uncomfortable.

When Tong Mo sat down beside him, he moved to the other side, grabbed a pillow and squeezed it firmly in his hand.

Tong Mo sat for a while, looked down at the fruits on the coffee table, he was about to reach for a grape, but saw Gao Baixin who was next to him jump up suddenly.

Just like the day he and Gao Boxin met for the first time, Gao Boxin almost jumped out of the same height.

And this time he didn't even touch Gao Boxin's clothes.

"I'll go and see how that kid Cao Anning's clothes are changing." Gao Boxin said and walked to the room.

Tong Mo finished eating a grape, walked to the side and opened the window.

He felt much better now.

As for Gao Boxin's obvious embarrassment, he thought it was better not to expose it.

Otherwise, the two of them are very likely to return to the initial stage of mutual exclusion that is not happy.

Gao Boxin carried Cao Anning back to the living room, he put Cao Anning down, and Cao Anning ran to the kitchen to find his mother.

The living room returned to an awkward silence that could not be ignored.

Gao Boxin went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water, put it down in front of Tong Mo, and then kept paced.

Tong Mo wanted to remind him that if he was really entangled, he could go to another room, and there was no need to stay in the living room all the time.

Gao Boxin suddenly returned to the sofa and sat down, facing the TV, and said in a low voice: "This is the first time I bring my classmates to my uncle's house."

Tong Mo nodded, he had already seen it.

"It's also the first time I've told others about my family affairs." Gao Boxin gritted his teeth and said again.

"Did you tell me?" Tong Mo asked him back.

Gao Boxin was taken aback.

"You didn't tell me anything, and I didn't hear anything, so you don't have to worry about it at all." Tong Mo finished speaking calmly, took a sip from the water glass.

Gao Boxin looked at him: "Do you think I regret telling you that my uncle is my legal guardian?"

Tong Mo nodded: "It's normal to regret."

"I have never regretted what I said, and I don't think it is necessary to hide this matter from you." Gao Boxin said.

Tong Mo looked at him, still wanting to wait for him to say something later, why is there no need to hide him?

But Gao Boxin didn't continue.

Gao Boxin's aunt opened the kitchen door, and Gao Boxin immediately stood up to help bring out the food.

"Aren't you waiting for your uncle to come back?" Tong Mo followed and walked over.

"He gets off work late, and every time he says he gets off work on time, but no day is on time, and he just sent a message, telling us not to wait for him." The aunt said.

"It's the same for policemen," Gao Boxin turned to look at Tong Mo, "Sit over there, this room is already small, there can't be room for three people."

Cao Anning stood in front of them and yelled: "Brother, you miscalculated, there are four people, not three!"

Tong Mo didn't realize the lively, noisy, but interesting atmosphere in other people's homes until now.

They moved the things on the coffee table to the TV cabinet, and a few of them sat on low stools and ate by the coffee table with bowls in their hands.

They didn't talk much at the dinner table, and Gao Boxin and his aunt rarely communicated, but it could be seen that their relationship was not bad.

Apart from the awkward feeling when he first brought Tong Mo into the house, Gao Boxin acted very relaxed in this room, as if he was at his own home.

It was even more impossible for Tong Mo to have a friendly conversation with people he didn't know well, so only Cao Aning was left talking at the dinner table.

Cao Anning and Tong Mo were located very close to each other. Halfway through the meal, the child felt that he and his elder brother were very familiar, so he enthusiastically started the topic with Tong Mo: "Brother, do you have any idea about that cartoon on TV?" Haven’t seen it yet? Which protagonist do you like? Let me tell you, my favorite is—”

Cao Anning danced with chopsticks. Tong Mo had already put down the bowl and chopsticks and wanted to listen carefully to what Cao Anning was saying. A hand appeared on the way and knocked on the top of Cao Anning's head, causing his body to swell up due to emotional excitement. Cao Anning knocked back the prototype.

"Don't disturb my brother's meal, and talk to him after dinner," Gao Boxin gave a mallet and stuffed a green vegetable into Cao Anning's bowl, "You must eat green vegetables, and you are not allowed to be picky eaters."

Tears of grievance rolled in Cao Anning's eyes, but he didn't dare to resist Gao Boxin, and silently stuffed the vegetable into his mouth.

Tong Mo silently picked up a spare rib, put it into Cao Anning's bowl from the other side, and said softly, "Eat a spare rib, it's sweet, children should like it."

"Mmm! I like to eat ribs made by my mother the most." Cao Anning said happily holding a bowl.

Gao Boxin clicked his tongue, but couldn't say anything exciting, and looked away for a while before returning to the dining table.

Sitting on the sofa to rest for a while after eating, Tong Mo was about to get up and say goodbye to them when Cao Mingyi came back.

After changing his shoes, he sat next to the coffee table in the living room, but he was not in a hurry to eat, but sat chatting with Gao Boxin.

Tong Mo felt that the matter he had brought up at this time was obviously inappropriate, so he sat back silently.

Cao Mingyi asked Gao Boxin something about the school.

Gao Boxin basically replied: "It's nothing, I can keep up with my studies now, and there is nothing else to worry about."

"You say that every time," Cao Mingyi took a sip of tea and stared at Gao Boxin, "but something will always happen, and you will be called to our office."

"An accident happened again? Are you injured? Why didn't I hear you mention it?" My aunt hurriedly put down the knife for cutting fruit and looked at Gao Boxin worriedly.

"No injury, my classmate can testify." Gao Boxin said without thinking.

Tong Mo didn't expect that he would be mentioned suddenly, and when he looked up, several people in the room were looking at him.

"Well, no injury, I watched," he said.

Gao Boxin smiled with satisfaction.

"You have to be careful if you are not injured. Try not to provoke those people if you can. And did you have any problems with others in school? I just made a statement with them, and they said it was because someone saw you in school. That's why they asked them to block you at the school gate." Cao Mingyi said again.

Gao Boxin lowered his eyelids lazily: "Well, probably."

"This time the person they want to block is actually me. It has nothing to do with Gao Boxin. Uncle, you misunderstood him." At this moment, Tong Mo stood up and said something seriously to Cao Mingyi.

Sitting on a low stool, Cao Mingyi looked up at Tong Mo, and then at Gao Boxin.

Gao Boxin was also looking at Tong Mo.

He looked at it for a while, coughed, and said, "In the final analysis, it's for me. If you have nothing to do with me, you can't mess with it at all."

Cao Mingyi ignored Gao Boxin's words, he looked at Tong Mo thoughtfully, and after a while he said: "Gao Boxin's personality is too easy to offend people, you help me keep an eye on Tong Mo at school. He, I can rest assured."

Tong Mo was speechless for a moment.

Cao Mingyi is worthy of being a policeman, and he can actually talk about taking care of his nephew as if he asked him to help keep an eye on him at school.

But shouldn't the police be more vigilant?

They had only met for the first time, why did Cao Mingyi trust him so much?

Tong Mo thought for a while, and became even more curious about what Cao Mingyi said before.

He slowly asked Cao Mingyi: "Officer Cao, what did Gao Boxin say when he mentioned me in front of you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Boxin hurriedly planned to get up, but his movements were too arced, and he fell directly from the low stool.
