time is late

Lu Xingshu was a bit lucky, the plastic bag Cheng Xun gave him was useless after all.

Finally arrived at the station, got off the train and breathed fresh air, Lu Xingshu finally adjusted himself.

Grandpa Zhao's home was still some distance from the station, and the three of them had to walk a small country road after getting off the bus.

Lu Xingshu didn't know the way, so he had to quietly follow behind his grandmother and Cheng Xun.

Most of the roads are easy to walk, but the closer to Grandpa Zhao's house, the more dirt roads in the countryside.

Occasionally, people would pass by on this narrow road on a battery car. At this time, they had to stand sideways to avoid it. The place where they took another step was the field, so they had to stand carefully.

Cheng Xun couldn't help laughing when he saw how cautiously he walked.

"Lu Xingshu, if you really can't do it, just grab my clothes."

After Cheng Xun finished speaking, he tore off his thick down jacket. The long, pure black jacket made his skin fairer.

Lu Xingshu: "?"

"No need." Lu Xingshu deliberately turned his eyes away, not paying attention to the black figure in front of him, "I just don't know him well."

"Oh." Cheng Xun responded a little perfunctorily, with a slightly elongated ending, which seemed a little sloppy, "It's okay, when my grandma and I came here for the first time, I slipped and fell into the field. You are better than me." It was much stronger back then, at least it didn’t fall.”

Lu Xingshu: "..."

No matter how dull he is, he can still understand that this is Cheng Xun's comfort to him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a rampant battery car approaching in front of him. When Lu Xingshu dodged, his movements were a little wider, his right foot slipped, and he couldn't maintain his balance and leaned to the right.

Fortunately, Cheng Xun grabbed his arm quickly and pulled him closer to him with great force.

Lu Xingshu was also very cooperative and borrowed his strength. As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, he subconsciously rushed over and hugged Cheng Xun, wrapping his arms around his shoulders tightly.

At least his body balance was maintained, Lu Xingshu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Cheng Xun's figure was thin, even in a thick down jacket, he was not bulky at all, and was easily hugged by Lu Xingshu.

Cheng Xun raised his hand to pat the back of Lu Xingshu's head, and cursed with a smile, "Let go when you stand still."

Cheng Xun couldn't handle this sudden bear hug.

Grandma also turned her head to look at them, "Did Xiao Shu fall?"

Lu Xingshu immediately took a step back, and at the same time loosened the arms around Cheng Xun's back, creating a slight distance between the two of them.

"I am fine."

Cheng Xun felt amused when he heard his answer, and finally stretched out his arms to the man in a friendly manner.

"Hold on, I'll give you a crutch."

Lu Xingshu cast his eyes down for a moment, and finally reached out and grabbed Cheng Xun's... where the wrist was up.

Anyway, the down jacket is thick enough.

Cheng Xun turned around and took a look at him, his cat-like round eyes were full of smiles, with a hint of mockery.

It's just that he hasn't seen Grandpa Zhao for a year, but Cheng Xun finds that the old man has more gray hair on his temples.

Although his household registration is only in the name of Grandpa Zhao, the old man's kindness towards him is real.

Grandpa Zhao is now living alone in the countryside for the elderly, and the neighbors around him are also old people he has known for many years, but he is more cheerful than when he was in the county.

There are two garden cats scattered in the yard, a smooth-skinned fat orange, a common civet cat, and a string of very beautiful little native dogs.

When the three of them walked into the yard, the little dog barked.

Grandpa Zhao also quickly came out to meet them, and tied up the dog mercilessly by the way.

Every time Cheng Xun came to play with cats and dogs, but this dog just didn't remember him and barked fiercely.

Cihuamao is colder, always lazily collapsed into a lump.Cheng Xun's favorite is still the fat orange, maybe because he is born with a lack of insight, and he is always so unprepared that he can masturbate to anyone.

"Grandpa." Cheng Xun called out with a smile, his slightly curved round eyes were more pleasing.

Grandpa Zhao responded, looking at the presents they were holding in their hands, he deliberately said with a straight face, "Come on, come on, why bring something?"

Grandma also replied with a smile: "For Chinese New Year, I always have to bring it."

"This is my grandson, Xiaoshu." Grandma took Lu Xingshu's arm and introduced him to Grandpa Zhao.

"The young man is so handsome." Grandpa Zhao smiled kindly, looking at Lu Xingshu with a satisfied expression, "I haven't seen that much before."

"Something happened at his father's place, alas...it's hard to explain in words, anyway, Xiaoshu lives in my place now, and lives in the same room with Xiao Xun." Grandma didn't go into details, but took it lightly.

Cheng Xun originally wanted to help the two old people prepare lunch together, but unfortunately he was thrown out mercilessly. Grandma told him to save himself some snacks and just stay in the living room and watch TV.

Lu Xingshu was quite contentedly sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, and the civet cat who treated Cheng Xun very coldly squatted beside him obediently, collapsed into a lump of fat.

The oranges they brought were plated and placed on the coffee table in the living room.

The house that Grandpa Zhao lives in now is a bungalow, surrounded by cement walls, with an iron gate half hidden.The walls are painted white, and this is the exterior wall of every house in this area. It is said that it is a beautiful plan made by the village committee in response to the request of the superiors.

Lu Xingshu doesn't seem to like cats, cats and dogs. Huahua, that is, the name of the raccoon cat, obviously looks for petting, but this guy is very indifferent.

Cheng Xun saw that the fat cat was rarely so active, so he wanted to reach out to touch it instead of Lu Xingshu, but Huahua suddenly adjusted his posture, flicked his tail coldly and jumped off the sofa.

Cheng Xun: "..."

Lu Xingshu: "?"

"It's better to be fat." Cheng Xun picked up the orange cat lying on the ground with its belly exposed, with a sullen face, and called his name affectionately.

He held the orange cat in both hands, and held it in front of Lu Xingshu. Two fluffy spherical objects were very eye-catching.

"Look, Fatty hasn't become a father-in-law yet."

Lu Xingshu: "..."

He's not very interested in cat's balls.

"Huahua must be so fierce because she was neutered." He also stepped on the cold cihuamao by the way.

"Really?" Lu Xingshu expressed doubts.

He didn't know whether the cat's temper had much to do with never being neutered.

"Why is one neutered and the other not?"

Generally speaking, if there are male cats in the family, they must be neutered together.

"Huahua was already neutered when grandpa picked it up." Cheng Xun smiled and rubbed Rua's fat head, with a hint of loneliness in his expression, "It must have been neutered by the former owner who abandoned it."

Lu Xingshu lowered his eyes slightly after hearing the words, and turned his face to look at the raccoon cat lying at the door.

If the cat comes over again, pet it.

Seeing that it was meal time, Cheng Xun volunteered to fill up the rice bowls of the two cats with cat food, and went out to feed the puppies by the way.

This little dirt dog is so stupid that he growls every time he sees him, but he becomes cute again every time he eats it.

Lu Xingshu looked at his proficiency in feeding the dog, and remembered how he was not angry at all when he was yelled at by the dog before, so he understood.

"You like small animals so much?" He asked naturally.

Cheng Xun stood up holding the bag of dog food, and laughed when he heard Lu Xingshu's question, "Not all of them like it. I like furry ones."

Lu Xingshu seemed to want to ask something, but Grandma's voice came from the living room forcefully.

"It's time to eat!"

After eating and drinking, Cheng Xun went to play with the cat again, but this time Lu Xingshu did not continue to be cold, but instead gently stroked the little raccoon flower that was friendly to him.

Huahua meowed obediently, and circled around Lu Xingshu's feet.

It's rare to see this cold cat acting like a baby, even Grandpa Zhao was very surprised.

"Xiaohua likes your grandson very much." Grandpa Zhao joked with a smile, "It's rare to see him being so close to people. Sometimes he just ignores me."

"Let's hit it off." Cheng Xun added along, "It's like Fatty and I hit it off."

"Pang Pang and everyone should hit it off." Grandpa Zhao couldn't help breaking the stage.

Different from the abandoned raccoon cat, Pang Pang is one of the litters born to the big cat in the next-door neighbor's house. Grandpa Zhao adopted one when the neighbors were sending kittens around.

At that time, the family already had a cat and a dog. The orange cat grew up under the pampering of big cats and dogs. It grew fatter and fatter.

"If you really like it, Huahua can go home with you." Seeing that Huahua likes Lu Xingshu so much, Grandpa Zhao also generously "reluctantly give up".

Lu Xingshu looked at the raccoon cat sleeping at his feet, and it became more and more cute the more he looked at it.

"How can you just give us the cat you have raised for so many years." Grandma subconsciously refused, "Huahua is just greedy for a momentary novelty. Besides, these two children will be in their third year of high school this summer, so they don't have time to take care of the cat." gone."

"That's right." Grandpa Zhao looked nostalgic and sad, "It's going to be the third year of high school..."

"Get through the hardest year and go to a good university, so you don't have to suffer in the future."

"Yes."

……

Cheng Xun smiled, but didn't answer.

Lu Xingshu lowered his eyes and remained silent without saying anything.

Life is full of hardships, but there always seems to be a little bit of sweetness hanging on you in the future.

How can there be anything that survives the most bitterness and is always sweet, every time period has every time period of bitterness.

It is difficult to study now, and it will be difficult to find a job in the future. When people reach middle age, they may have to lay off employees and get reemployed...

It's boring to think too far, no one's life can be seen at a glance.

It is enough to focus on the present without leaving regrets.

Cheng Xun had a lot of thoughts, and finally decided to focus on the present...Happy licking the cat.

If the freedom to keep cats can be realized in the future, he also wants to raise a fat orange.
