are you a cat

After Yechen took a shower, he pulled on his slippers and came out of the bathroom.The black night outside the window was raining, the hour hand moved towards 23 o'clock, the light in the kitchen was still on, and the sound of the blade colliding with the chopping board was neat and rhythmic.

Yu Xin was cutting fruit with his back to him, and Ye Chen was in a trance for a moment, as if this kind of warm picture that is common in other people's homes has been so far away in his memory that it is a bit blurred.

He didn't look much, turned around and entered the room.

Yu Xin came in with a plate of sliced ​​oranges and warm milk, and put them on the small table beside the bed.

Yechen plugged in the earphones, and quickly slid two thumbs on the screen, and then the mattress sank, and Ning Ning, who was curled up at his feet, stretched his back and went to his pillow to continue lying on his stomach.

Yu Xin sat by the bed: "Chenchen, what do you want to eat tomorrow?"

Yechen focused all his attention on the game, and after a while he quickly replied: "Whatever."

"Mom hasn't had dinner with you for a long time," Yu Xin asked, "I'll cook chestnut chicken soup for you tomorrow? I remember you like it."

The words GAMEOVER popped up on the game page, and Yechen raised his eyes, staring at Yu Xin: "Aren't you going back tomorrow?"

Yu Xin said: "There is nothing to do tomorrow, I will stay with you."

Ye Chen turned his eyes back to the phone screen and asked, "What about Yu Ning?"

"My brother is already asleep." After Yu Xin finished speaking, she understood Ye Chen's meaning, "Ningning, your Uncle Xu is taking it with you, don't worry about it, I will come to accompany you every month during your monthly leave from now on."

Hearing the sound of Ning Ning, Ye Chen didn't respond, and quickly started a new game.

Yu Xin sat in his room for a while, telling him to brush his teeth early and go to bed after drinking the milk.

As soon as Yu Xin left, Ye Chen took off the earphones and threw them directly on the bed. The sound effects of the game leaked out from inside. Ning Ning "meowed" and stepped into Ye Chen's arms.

Yechen walked barefoot to the door with the cat in his arms, and he heard small footsteps outside the door, the sound of water in the bathroom and the click of the second bedroom door closing.

Yu Xin really didn't leave.

Yechen looked down at Ningning, and the puppet cat tilted its head and rubbed against his palm.

The whole night of rain washed the sky of Rongcheng into blue, and the sunlight fell on the bed through the glass. Ning Ning squatted on Yechen's chest, stepped on the milk with her front paws up and down, and made a gurgling sound from her throat. .

Yechen crossed his eyebrows with his backhand to block the glare of the white light, and with the other hand he rubbed back and forth the puppet's beautiful hair.

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and smelled a slight fragrance while washing.

Yu Xin stood in the kitchen, guarding the casserole on the stove. There was a layer of golden fat floating on the milky white soup in the pot, and small bubbles were bubbling, as if there was a vortex hidden below, continuously pouring water into the pot. life.

Hearing the movement, she turned around with a smile: "Chenchen got up?"

Yechen pulled out a smile: "Mom."

Yu Xin hooked her head and pointed to the dining table: "Breakfast is on the table."

"By the way, Chen Chen," Yu Xin came out with a plate of freshly cut fruits, "Brother Xu will be here at ten o'clock, go change your clothes immediately after you finish eating."

Yechen took a sip of milk: "Actually, you stayed because of tutoring, right?"

"What are you talking about?" Yu Xin rubbed his head, "I stayed today because of you, and it has nothing to do with anyone." She changed the subject, "But mom still said that, reading and studying are all for Your own future, although your father and I don't expect you to be admitted to any world famous school, we also don't want you to indulge yourself like you are now."

"Oh." Yechen's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be as repulsive as yesterday, so he put down the bread and went back to his room to change clothes.

Before closing the door, he heard the phone Yu Xin left on the sofa ring.Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of slippers stepping on the floor, thinking that the person in the room is not the nanny but Yu Xin, and Chen could not help but feel a little bit of joy.

Within 2 minutes, his door was knocked twice.

Ye Chen poked his head out of his T-shirt, opened the door, Yu Xin looked anxious, and had already taken off his apron: "Chen Chen, brother is sick, mother has to go back."

Ye Chen's face turned cold instantly.

Yu Xin's heart is now focused on the four-year-old son at home, and she didn't notice Ye Chenqing's expression turned cloudy at all. She put on a windbreaker, walked quickly to the entrance and picked up her bag: "The soup is on the stove. Let it simmer, don't move, Sister Hua will be here in a while."

Sister Hua is the housekeeping aunt she hired for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at her motionless.

It was only at this time that Yu Xin realized that the atmosphere in the house had dropped to freezing point. She paused her hand to open the door, turned her head and said to Ye Chen: "Chen Chen, you are as important as my brother in my mother's heart, but my brother is too young now, you..."

It's not the first time Ye Chen has encountered such a thing, he didn't want to listen to her high-sounding words, so he walked to the entrance in two steps, opened the door and pushed the person out.

Yu Xin staggered a step: "Chen..."

Snapped--

The door slammed mercilessly before her.

Yu Xin wanted to knock on the door again, but the phone rang again, and Yu Ning's heart-piercing voice came from inside: "Mom—"

"Ning Ning is good, mom will be back soon."

Watching Yu Ning walk into the elevator with a cold stare, Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and glanced at the shopping bags on the ground, which were full of new clothes that Yu Xin bought for him, including the pair of ajs he already had.

He frowned and kicked them away violently!

A clatter.

The shopping bags fell to the ground in all directions, and the shoes even flew out of the packing box.

When passing by the dining table, he threw the uneaten bread and milk into the trash can with the plate blankly, and the half-cut fried egg left a yellow mark on the plate.

After a while, he received a WeChat message from Yu Xin.

[Mom]: Brother Xu will be here in a while. He is not a few years older than you. When you see someone, be more polite and take the initiative to call brother, you know?

[Mom]: When I take my brother to the hospital, I will come here in the afternoon.

Ye Chen didn't reply a single one.

He walked into the study and continued to watch the documentary he hadn't finished watching yesterday. The volume of the earphones was so loud that he couldn't hear anything except the deafening sound effects.He nestled in the chair for a while, opened the drawer of the desk, picked up the messy paints and brushes in it twice, and finally took out the drawing board and connected it to the computer, and dragged the PS interface to another monitor .

Yechen didn't know what to draw, but he needed to draw something to divert his attention.

The cell phone left on the table lighted up from time to time, and when he remembered to check it, there were already a dozen unread messages on the screen.

Yechen directly ignored Yu Xin's message, not even in the mood to glance at what she posted, and swipe her thumb to the left to clear her chat box.

Most of the other news came from Bai Jingping.

[White that white]: Four rows come quickly!

[Bai that Bai]: What about people? ?

[Bai that Bai]: Dad has been waiting for you for a long time, but you should answer me!

[Bai that Bai]: Chen'er?

The last one was sent 2 minutes ago, and Yechen typed with his left hand: No.

Bai Jingping replied quickly: What are you doing without replying to messages for a long time?

[C]: Draw a picture.

After two seconds, he came back: watch the movie.

Bai Jingping sent a series of question marks, directly ignoring the first two words.

[Bai that Bai]: What is it?

[Bai that Bai]: Watching a movie?

[Bai that Bai]: What movie are you watching?

[Bai that Bai]: You also watch movies... No, you don't call yourself a brother when you watch movies?

Ye Chen directly raised his hand to take a picture of the computer screen and send it over.

The words sent by Bai Jingping were all in a daze: Bernini? ? ?

[White that white]: Who is Bernini?What is the power of art?

Yechen didn't bother to pay attention to him, dropped the phone and continued to draw lines, and occasionally glanced at the screen playing the documentary next to him, and it didn't take long for the phone to light up persistently.

He answered the phone first and then took off the earphones, but Bai Jingping didn't hear the first two sentences clearly: "Where are you going?"

Bai Jingping repeated: "Play ball! Go or not!"

Yechen: "Go."

He stood up, and didn't bother to turn off the computer: "Where do you call? You send me the address, and I'll come right after I take a shower."

Pushing open the study door, Yechen let out an irritable "tsk" sound from the rich aroma of chestnut chicken soup.

The shopping bags all over the floor have disappeared, there is a stack of clothes labels on the coffee table in the living room, and the slight hum of the dryer can be heard from the balcony.

You don't need to guess to know that the aunt at home is here.

He went back to his room to take a shower, changed into his sports clothes by the way, and walked out while wearing wrist guards.It happened that Sister Hua came out of the kitchen with tea and greeted him: "Chenchen, your tutor is here."

Yechen paused for a moment before he remembered what was going on. He glanced at the fresh strawberries and fruit juices on Sister Hua's tray, and his mood, which was much more relaxed after taking a bath, suddenly became unhappy.

But his anger is very targeted, at least he won't get angry at Sister Hua for no reason.

Yechen sat on the footstool and changed his shoes, but his tone was a bit annoyed: "Aunt Hua, please tell my mother that I don't need a tutor."

As he said that, he got up and grabbed the space with his hand to the side.

"This……"

Sister Hua was a little embarrassed. The child of the employer's family was also her boss from a certain point of view, and she should not talk too much about some things.But after all, she has been taking care of Yechen since junior high school, she still cares about Yechen, and she also knows his poor grades.

After hesitating, she persuaded: "Your mother is also doing it for your own good. Besides, the teacher is here, so it's not good to leave others alone..."

Seeing that Yechen kicked off his sneakers and walked to the study, Sister Hua breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had listened: "Just give it a try first and see if the teacher speaks well, if he can't speak well, we don't he!"

"Aunt Hua, I'm just going to get my schoolbag." Yechen pushed open the study door.

"I know, I'm very formal today, so I won't scare the kids." The man sitting behind the desk looked up and said to the phone, "Stop talking, someone is here."

Yechen's house faces south as a whole, and the study is no exception, with sufficient lighting and ventilation.The white gauze curtain by the window was raised and lowered, and the room was spacious and bright under the sun.

Probably to make a good impression on the tutor, Sister Hua opened the window of the study after he left, blowing away the strong smell of smoke from his previous room, even the ashtray full of cigarette butts next to his computer was put away. up.

The man sitting on the computer chair had his back to the light. From this angle, his shoulders were extraordinarily broad, his silhouette was neat and not thin, and he could vaguely see the tight lines of his arms under the white shirt.

Yechen's first reaction was that this person might be tall, and then he saw the other person's appearance clearly.

The tails of the eyes are slightly raised, and the eyebrows are naturally smiling, as if two amber glass beads are hidden in a rippling spring.

It seems to be very gentle but seems to be alienated.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Yechen, pushed the corners of his lips, stood up from his seat, and stretched out his right hand: "Hello, I'm Xu Yuxing."

The man's white shirt was buttoned rigidly to the top, with black hair, he really looked like a good college student.Especially when he laughed, the indifference brought about by the color of his pupils completely turned into an approachable kindness.

Yechen turned a blind eye to Xu Yuxing's outstretched hand in mid-air.

Sister Hua dragged him by the wrist and pulled him to the table and whispered that it was all coming, and put the fruit and tea drinks on the desk with a smile: "Chenchen is in a bad mood today, he is not like this usually, teacher, don't mind .”

"It's okay." Xu Yuxing smiled, then retracted his hand naturally, and said in a casual tone, "It's a kid."

"We met you, remember? At the wedding of your mother and my second uncle."

Xu Yu smiled in the lingo, and raised his hand to compare his height: "You seemed to be so tall back then."

I don't know if it's his speaking habit or what's going on, but he speaks slowly, with a slightly drawn tail, and his voice is very soft, he sounds like those goblins who specialize in inducing people to commit crimes.

It gave Yechen a strong sense of disobedience.

Pretend.

Yechen slandered, he didn't like anyone in the Xu family, and he had no plans to catch up with Xu Yuxing.

He walked over to take off the schoolbag hanging on the back of the chair and was about to leave, but then he stopped, frowned and lowered his head.At this moment, Yechen finally realized that this person had kept his head down when he was on the phone before he came in. It turned out that he was looking at the test papers on his desk that relied on English to turn the tide and pulled the average score to over [-].

"Sorry." Xu Yuxing followed his gaze and apologized with a smile, "The test papers were spread out on the table when I came in, so I just took a look."

The hostility in Yechen's eyes was undisguised, Xu Yuxing grinned suddenly against such gaze.

His bony fingers tapped on the top of the sixteen-point roll, and a chuckle escaped from his throat: "Child, your grades are good."

"The words are not bad."

Xu Yuxing slid his fingertips to the name column, where the words "Yechen" were written with claws and claws, which were so scrawled that they almost flew off the scroll.

Yechen's temper may not be very good at first, and because of Yu Xin's matter, he deeply resisted the "tutor" she had hired, and his face became even colder when he was provoked by the other party's joking tone.

"none of your business."

Yechen looked at Xu Yuxing coldly, slammed the door and walked out without looking back after uttering this sentence.
