Chapter 23 The Pear Tree

Chen Yuechi suddenly felt guilty, but he didn't understand why he felt guilty.

After a while, Guan Rong said, "I know."

He answered so readily, Chen Yuechi didn't know what to ask, and just nodded.

"You are quite enthusiastic, always worrying about others." Guan Rong said, "You also worry about yourself when you have time."

Chen Yue responded: "No... I didn't worry about others."

Guan Rong smiled noncommittally, Chen Yue stopped explaining, and smiled lightly, not to mention this topic again.Guan Rong stood up and stretched: "Is it convenient for you? Let's go and cook some noodles?"

Chen Yue hesitated, still sitting, looking up at him: "I don't have a kitchen over there, maybe I can only cook instant noodles."

"What should I do? It's not convenient for me." Guan Rong lowered his head and looked at him, his eyelashes drooping, showing a slight hint of light in his eyes, "Then let's cook instant noodles."

Chen Yuezhi didn't understand what Guan Rong meant by inconvenience, but he could tell that Guan Rong didn't want to talk about it.

The two tidied up, took the few packages that Guan Rong packed yesterday, and left the bookstore.It was late when Chen Yuechi went out.

The post office estimated that it was already off work, and Chen Yuechi happened to be nearby, saying that it could be put in a rental house and mailed tomorrow morning.Guan Rong has no objection either.

Passing through the center of the square, the pear trees in the central flower bed are already bare.The branches of the pear tree are strong, and they look black after the light is dim, and as long as no one prunes them, the new branches in spring and summer will go straight to the sky.It looks bleak, but stubborn.Far away, it looks like a painting without color.

The two people stopped at the same time, looked at the tree for a while, and Chen Yuechi said: "The first time I saw the bottle was under this tree."

Guan Rongxiao: "Take him to play with you when I'm free. He still talks about you all the time, and keeps telling me that Xingxing snatched you away. Who is Xingxing? The kid you picked up last time?"

"Yes, it's the convenience store owner's daughter." Chen Yuechi said.Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Guan Rong didn't know the reason why he resigned from the convenience store.However, he will not talk nonsense about the situation between him and sister Huan for no reason.So that's all for now.

Fortunately, Guan Rong is a person who never asks too many questions.But Chen Yuechi suddenly felt a little awkward, why does Guan Rong sometimes stop asking?

As long as he asks one more question, Chen Yuechi will definitely tell him something.Guan Rong doesn't have to respect him like this, or don't need to be so alienated like he is to others.

"Is he your nephew?" Chen Yuechi forced himself to stop his thoughts that were getting more and more strayed.It was the first time to ask about the identity of the bottle.

Guan Rong looked ahead and replied: "No. There is no blood relationship, it is the child of a friend in the bar. The child has no father, and his mother thinks that boys should be in contact with grown men, so they always put them here, annoying I'm bored to death. You said she brought it to me because she was bored, right?"

Having said that, his tone could not hear boredom.Continued: "But I'm not reliable, I don't know how to get along with children, I scare him when he cries, at first he cries more and more, but later I learned, the more he cries, the more I ignore him, Don't cry by yourself."

Chen Yuechi laughed: "You are so kind to him. His mother should be a very important friend to you?"

"It's very important." Guan Rong said.

Chen Yuechi's rental house is too small and simple.To the point of his embarrassment.

Last time he was ill, he didn't know when Guan Rong came, but this time he really needs some psychological preparation.Although this society laughs at the poor but not at the prostitutes, he never feels ashamed of being short of money, but the other party is Guan Rong, which always makes him hesitate.

Therefore, it took a long time to pick and pull the keys at the door.

In order to save space, the room is not only small in size, but also has a very low ceiling, making it more depressing than ordinary rooms.After entering, there was no place to sit, so Chen Yuechi had no choice but to brush beside the bed: "Please sit down. It's clean, it's only been changed for two days."

Guan Rong didn't say much, and sat down neatly.

After looking around in the narrow cupboard, there were only two packs of instant noodles left.Chen Yuechi said: "Teacher Guan, I'm going to wrong you, there are really only instant noodles."

"Didn't we agree to eat instant noodles?" Guan Rong replied.

The small electric cooker held by Chen Yue hadn't been used for a long time, and he took it out to wash and scrub it for a long time before starting to cook.The power of the pot was very small, and while the water was boiling, Chen Yuechi stood by the chopping board and waited.Guan Rong asked, "Are you not tired from standing?"

"I've been sitting in the bookstore for a long time." Chen Yue responded.

Guan Rong smiled again: "Do you mind if I lie down on your bed?"

Chen Yuechi turned his head: "Of course not. How come."

"Many people don't mind friends, but they would mind people like me." He lay down with his hands behind his head.

"What kind of person is this kind of person?" Chen Yuechi whispered, "Don't you also mind me?"

There was no sound after speaking.The water pot was boiling, Chen Yuechi turned his head to look, closed his eyes, wondering if he fell asleep.

After turning off the fire, Chen Yuechi found a new dilemma, he only had one bowl.Fortunately, there are actually two pairs of chopsticks, and the pot can be used as it is.

Opening up the small portable table, just as he brought the noodles over, Guan Rong suddenly sat up from the bed: "It smells so good!"

Chen Yuechi was startled and laughed.

After being told by Guan Rong, Chen Yuechi really felt hungry.The words of the two seem to have a limit, today's has been used up, and the only thing left is silence.

Just after eating, the door next door opened, and as expected, there was a quarrel.

Guan Rong seemed to be in a good mood after eating, "Yeah" said: "It feels like the noise is right next to my ear."

"It's not just arguing, wait a minute..." Chen Yuechi stopped in the middle of speaking, coughed twice, and began to pack the things on the table and prepare to wash the dishes.

He turned on the water very loudly, so that the sound in the sink might block other noises, but the neighbors didn’t appreciate him very much, and there was no strange sound when washing, so he turned off the tap after washing his hands with soap, um, huh. Ah, it came suddenly.

Chen Yuezhi didn't dare to look back at Guan Rong, but after a while he heard Guan Rong laughing louder and louder.Chen Yue became impatient, stepped over and knelt beside the bed, and covered Guan Rong's mouth.

Guan Rong propped his hands on the bed behind him without struggling, but there was still a mocking smile in his eyes.Just look at him like that.

When the four eyes met, both sides were silent.The battle next door was very fierce, the women shouted and the men shouted, one after another.Chen Yuechi's ears turned red slowly.

He had listened to this voice for a long time, and it never caused any impulse, not even any other emotions except embarrassment and occasional irritability.But at this moment, in front of Guan Rong, he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

Guan Rong was still so calm and relaxed, only his eyes were bright looking at him.But it gave Chen Yue a deep feeling.

Blurred.Maybe there is a world hidden in Guan Rong's eyes, that world has winding corridors.It takes a long way to get there.

Chen Yuechi was stunned for a moment.

I don't know how long it took, Guan Rong moved his head slightly, and Chen Yuechi hurriedly withdrew his hand as if frightened.He forgot that he had just washed his hands just now, so Guan Rong's face was covered with water stains.He hurriedly pulled a tissue to wipe his face.

"Sorry." Chen Yuechi whispered while rubbing, "This room is not soundproof, I'm afraid others will think we're eavesdropping. It's scary." He was embarrassed to look into Guan Rong's eyes, so he only stared at his hand seriously voila.

Guan Rong still maintained the lazy posture just now, bent his eyes, and asked, "Aren't we eavesdropping now?"
