She Chu looked at the screen that suddenly displayed "The call has been hung up", and stayed there for half a minute before recovering from the unbelievable sense of unreality.

But he wasn't annoyed by Zai Zai's deliberate concealment of his poor acting skills, he was much more worried than that.

The colleague at the next table happened to come over and saw him holding the phone with a dignified face, thinking that some emotional accident had happened, but before his curiosity was not satisfied at all, he was also fooled by the "cat at home", hesitated For a second, he decided to temporarily suppress his desire to gossip, so as not to get caught again.

"She Chu, after the lunch break is over, there will be a meeting at two o'clock. In the work group, you haven't replied 'received'. Remember to reply quickly."

She Chu came back to her senses, quickly nodded with a smile and said thank you for the reminder, then lowered her head and cut the screen to return to the work group to reply to the message.

The colleague looked at him again, and finally couldn't hold back and asked himself to pass on his experience: "Have you had a fight with your girlfriend?"

"Oh, it's really nothing, just coaxing.

Girls are like this, you can’t take it seriously, theories are just theories, just admit your mistakes, otherwise you will win the fight and lose your girlfriend..."

He was afraid that She Chu would be embarrassed if she didn't answer, so before She Chu could speak, he quickly turned around and walked out sighing, making She Chu bewildered and staring at the back of him pushing the door out, speechless for a long while.

She Chu didn't dare to delay any longer, so she frowned slightly and dialed another video call. This time, the waiting call was connected before the third beep, and Zai Zai's face reappeared on the phone. on the screen.

I don’t know if it’s She Chu’s illusion. He always feels that his son’s face seems to be stained with dust and looks dirty, but the video resolution of the phone watch is low, and he can’t see anything when he looks carefully. The question before hanging up was repeated patiently, but the tone was a firm statement: "Zai Zai, you are not at home now, where are you?"

"Well——" Zai Zai raised his head and looked somewhere outside the video a little uneasily, and after thinking for a while, he whispered unnaturally, "It's Brother Wei, he took me...to take me out to play today."

Zai Zai's expression did not seem to be fake, but She Chu always felt that something was wrong, so he frowned and asked him: "It's okay to go out and play, why are you so nervous?"

"Well……"

Zai Zai's eyes flickered for a moment, his eyes looked at an unknown place, and he muttered so softly that She Chu could barely hear him, "But you didn't like me playing with Brother Weiqi very much before."

When she met Xie Weiou for the first time before, She Chu did express this meaning very clearly. After the incident some time ago, he felt that he had clearly shown his trust in Xie Weiou. Although it was a bit reluctant, he agreed. Zai Zai invited Xie Weiqi to come and play at home, didn't he?

Of course Zai Zai himself knew that he didn't have much confidence when he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at She Chu on the screen, so he said quickly with a guilty conscience: "Brother, go to work, I, I also want to go to work with Brother Weiqi La."

This time, he obediently waited for the bewildered She Chu to hang up the call before putting the phone and watch back into his pocket. As soon as he looked up, he looked at Xie Weiqi with a playful look, and heard the person opposite him asking leisurely: "Is it the first time?" Seeing you liar once—why don't you tell him the truth?"

Zai Zai blinked and said innocently: "I will tell him later, but if he knows now, he will be very worried."

"If you keep it from him, he will be very worried now."

Xie Weiou handed him the drink recipe and said with a smile, "It's too obvious, She Hui, you won't lie at all, you can see through it at a glance."

Xie Weiqiu just made a few casual jokes, and didn't mean to discuss it with him carefully. Seeing that Zaizai showed a puzzled expression after taking the recipe, he leaned over to take a contract-like thing from the coffee table, put his index finger and middle finger together, and lightly Tap on the top and push it to the place in front of him: "Although we are not pure human beings, we still have to go through the process set by a human being. Sign this."

Zai Zai put down the formula information sheet, picked up the contract and opened it, and was taken aback when he saw the five characters "Labor Contract" on the title page.

Although he didn't know what it meant, but he could keenly perceive that it was something that could not be signed casually, so he didn't write for a long time, and he regretted not telling She Chu the truth about what he and Xie Weiou were doing out there.

Xie Weiqi was amused by his cautious appearance, and put on a smile on his usually distant and indifferent face: "Why are you so nervous? It's just for human inspection. What are you worried about?"

So classmate She Hui, who was suddenly promoted from a domestic kitten to a social animal cat, after Xie Weiqi's brief explanation, thought of She Chu in disbelief, and signed her name on the contract with a serious face.

After signing, he put down the pen and looked at the thin contract repeatedly. Xie Weiqi also got up and sat over to look at it. After a few seconds of stagnant air, Zai Zai seemed to hear a little "噗嗤" laughter after a little patience, and quickly raised his head in doubt Looking at Xie Weiqi carefully.

"The signature is your name on the ID card, She Hui," Xie Weiqiu held back a smile and tapped on the two words "Zai Zai" written neatly on the paper with his fingertips. , "So that's what your family called you, no wonder you refused to tell me your name before."

Zai Zai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized what he had written, and the light red quickly ran from his fair neck to the roots of his ears.

Xie Weiqiu didn't want to embarrass him, so he went to change a spare contract for Zai Zai to sign. This time, Zai Zai signed the word "She Hui" with a high degree of concentration.

It didn't take long for She Hui's left leg injury to heal. Xie Weiqiu didn't intend to let him start working immediately to report back the things he had agreed to help with registering. He led him to the empty room in the backyard to see the few dogs brought back by Cheng Chi The stray cat, took a wet tissue and asked him to wipe off the dust on his face when he was approached by the cats in the store when he first came here.

Xie Weiqiu didn't say anything, just let She Hui enter the room to have a look, and She Hui carefully took off her shoes and stepped on the wooden floor, pushed open the sliding door and entered the room.

The style of the room is simple Japanese style. There is a raised tatami mat near the window. In the center of the tatami mat is a wooden table that can be raised and lowered. The floor-to-ceiling windows with several pots of spring feathers and white palms are closed. There are only two walls. The windows were opened for ventilation, the beige curtains were half drawn, the sunlight lazily diffused into the room, and the quiet fragrance flowing in the air imperceptibly slowed down the passage of time.

Presumably it will be open to outside guests in the future.

When She Hui sat down on the tatami, several cats hiding on the cat climbing frame in the corner leaped lightly one after another, tentatively ran to his legs, sniffed him, and rubbed the back of his hand in a friendly manner. Like recognize him.

She Hui looked down at them, recalled them carefully for a few minutes, and managed to get a little impression. When she opened her palm, the cat closest to him raised its paw and patted his palm. The scene when I met She Chu on the street on New Year's Day suddenly came to my mind clearly again.

The author has something to say: She Chu (surprised) My cub won’t be moving bricks outside without telling me, right?
