does he love me that much

The next day, Chi Ning was having breakfast and was informed of the fact that he was about to move. He swallowed the milk in his mouth and asked Liang Xingye suspiciously: "Why do you want to move?"

Liang Xingye wiped his hands slowly, and said, "It's too small for two people to live here, let's change to a bigger house."

Chi Ning looked around, the living room was empty, only the TV, sofa and matching coffee table were placed, and the balcony was dotted with a few pots of green potted plants, which was even more vacant.

"I'm moving in two days. Do you have any requirements for the room?" Liang Xingye said, "I will let someone decorate your room according to your preferences."

Chi Ning was not interested in moving, and shook his head: "No request."

The tutor will come tomorrow, and Chi Ning is free all day long, wandering around the commercial street, stepping on the sewer cover to listen to the sound of running water below, squatting in the pet shop and staring at the little fish and shrimp swimming around. Long queues in front of rice ball shops to buy rice balls...

In the evening, he went to the small square and sat next to Chen Xiangdong as a human sign.Chen Xiangdong had an unshaven beard and was still wearing a gray-black coat with a little oil stain on the cuffs. He looked like a thin old man.

He brought a lamp this time and put it in front of Chi Ning.

Under the contrast of light and shadow, Chi Ning's whole figure seems to be glowing, which is particularly conspicuous in the square and can be seen from a distance.Chi Ning took a while to get used to it, and adjusted his face to the best angle as Chen Xiangdong said.

Chen Xiangdong was fiddling with the stereo and QR code, Chi Ning said, "Grandpa, why do you need to turn on the light?"

Chen Xiangdong scratched his gray hair with his hands, turned to look at Chi Ning, "There's no reason, just sit like this and don't move around."

Not long after, a lot of people gathered in front of the steps, Chi Ning took advantage of the gap between the song changes, and whispered to Chen Xiangdong: "Many people are looking at me."

Chen Xiangdong half-closed his eyes, as if intoxicated by the aftertaste of the music, "It's okay, you can just sit down."

Chi Ning sat on the steps all night. After the crowd dispersed, Chi Ning looked at Chen Xiangdong's face that looked like an old friend, and said in an unhappy tone: "Grandpa, you use me."

Chen Xiangdong smiled. The wrinkles on his face were like old tree bark, full of ravines. He said, "This is called cooperation, not utilization. At worst, I'll give you more money later. Boy, you don't need money, do you?"

"My name is Chi Ning." Chi Ning said.

"Run away from home and have nowhere to go?"

"I didn't run away from home, I have a place to go." Chi Ning's son's pronunciation was not standard, it was drawn out for a long time, and it sounded a bit deliberate.

Chen Xiangdong touched his head with his palm, full of doubts, "Then why have you come to my place these two days?"

Chi Ning used Chen Xiangdong's perfunctory words to go back: "There is no reason."

The two chatted and got a little familiar, Chen Xiangdong said: "If you have time in the future, you can come every day."

Chi Ning looked into Chen Xiangdong's eyes, and shook his head after thinking for a moment: "Let me think about it, this light hurts my eyes, the steps are a bit hard to sit on, and it's boring for me to stay here all the time."

"I'm an old man, and I have nothing to give you," Chen Xiangdong frowned, like a snow-covered mountain peak, "I'll give you some money at most, or you can learn guitar from me, but after I teach you, you won't be able to give me anything." I've given you the money."

Chi Ning thought for a longer time and said, "Well, I can learn guitar from you."

Chen Xiangdong snorted coldly: "Are you still reluctant?"

The lights have been turned off, and he looks more like a mermaid grandfather in an unclear environment. Chi Ning dragged his face with his hands and asked, "Grandpa, have you ever been to the sea?"

"I haven't been there before." Chen Xiangdong put the guitar in Chi Ning's hand, "press your fingers on the strings, and I will teach you the posture first."

Chi Ning can master a little bit, plucking the strings, relying on the strings, and practicing single notes by pressing the strings can be quickly mastered, but he is not very proficient and needs more practice. Chen Xiangdong is puzzled: "Have you learned it before?"

"No." Chi Ning kept rubbing his fingers, which hurt after pressing on the strings for a long time.He took out his mobile phone to check the time. Liang Xingye was about to leave work, so he said, "Grandpa, I'm leaving."

Chen Xiangdong was also preparing to pack his things and go home. He waved his hand at Chi Ning and smiled kindly, "Remember to come every day."

Chi Ning lived a very regular life of studying during the day and studying art at night.Liang Xingye went to socialize a few times at night, and bumped into Chi Ning and Chen Xiangdong when he passed the small square.

Chen Xiangdong was as thin as a monkey, and at first glance he looked like a grumpy old man, while Chi Ning walked up and down with a smile.He was worried that Chi Ning would be deceived, so he asked Gu Xu to check Chen Xiangdong's background.

Chen Xiangdong, a local, used to have a decent job. His middle-aged wife divorced because of her cheating, and his son divorced him.Later, his son became seriously ill, and Chen Xiangdong became a seller. After giving birth, he still could not be rescued. He was hit hard and has been depressed ever since.

Seeing that his background was a bit miserable, and there were no other problems, Liang Xingye didn't intervene any more.

The tutor Chi Ning chose was a gentle and careful female teacher. According to his situation, he made a study schedule for him. In addition to the weekend holiday, he also had a half-day off on Wednesday afternoon.

On Wednesday, after finishing the morning class, Chi Ning took out a small stack of cash from the drawer, counted it, and stuffed it into his pocket.

He went to the small square every night, and more and more people gave rewards. Chen Xiangdong raised the price of ordering songs, and his income became richer and richer. Chen Xiangdong occasionally gave him some money to buy snacks, and he saved it up.

This is different from the money he got from selling pearls, and from the money Liang Xingye gave him in the card. It is his income from labor, and the sense of accomplishment makes Chi Ning feel ecstatic all day long, wishing to share it with everyone.

It happened to be a break in the afternoon, and Chi Ning planned to invite Liang Xingye to have a meal.So excitedly ran to the company to find him,

After arriving at the company, Chi Ning found out that Liang Xingye had gone to a meeting, and waited in the office for a long time, but there was no one there.He woke up too early in the morning, and the more he waited, the more sleepy he became. He yawned and fell asleep on the desk.

After Liang Xingye finished the meeting, he chatted with Gu Xu about the areas that needed improvement in the plan, and walked to the office.Pushing open the door and seeing a head lying on the table, Liang Xingye said to Gu Xu: "Basically that's it, you go back first."

Liang Xingye closed the door, walked to the desk, and tapped with his fingers.Chi Ning shook, woke up from sleep, raised his head, and said slowly, "Have you finished the meeting?"

"Yes," Liang Xingye took out a piece of paper and gave it to him, "Wipe the drool."

Chi Ning pursed his lower lip, and it was really wet. He took the paper and wiped it off indiscriminately.Liang Xingye handed him another one: "Wipe the ones on the table too."

Chi Ning looked down, and there were a few drops of water remaining on the tough brown-black tabletop, which he quickly cleaned up.Noticing that Liang Xingye was still looking at him, Chi Ning quickly explained: "I don't do this when I lie down and sleep."

Liang Xingye laughed, and agreed with a face: "Maybe it's the wrong sleeping position."

"I lay down too hard." Chi Ning responded seriously.

"There is a bed in the lounge, why don't you go to sleep in it?"

"I'll wait for you to eat," Chi Ning stood up and gave up his seat to Liang Xingye, as if showing off, "I've made a lot of money recently, and I want to treat you to dinner."

"You said before that I earned the money my grandfather gave me." Chi Ning had recently cooled down. Chi Ning was wearing a thin beige coat with the zipper pulled all the way to hide the tip of his chin. He put his hands in his pockets and looked up. Looking at Liang Xingye, "What do you want to eat? Can you go to the restaurant we went to last time?"

The first money he earned was used to treat him to dinner. Liang Xingye looked at Chi Ning's eyes that seemed to be shining, and couldn't say anything about his refusal. After pondering for a few seconds, he replied, "Yes."

The things on the table were messed up by Chi Ning, Liang Xingye simply cleaned up the table.Chi Ning leaned in front of him: "Liang Xingye, I have also learned a few pieces of music. Grandpa said I am very talented."

"The tutor also praised you for being smart." Chi Ning learned to recognize characters very quickly. He basically knew the daily language and could write part of it, but the characters were a bit ugly.Liang Xingye threw the pen into the pen holder, "Let's go."

The two left the office and walked side by side in the corridor. From time to time, someone greeted Liang Xingye, and Liang Xingye nodded to them one by one.

After entering the elevator, Liang Xingye raised his head to relieve the fatigue of his neck. Chi Ning stood aside, remembering what Liang Xingye told him in the morning that the villa had been packed, so he asked Liang Xingye, "Are we going to move today?"

"You don't need to move, there is everything you need there, just go and live there at night." Liang Xingye said, "By the way, your room is next to mine. I'll have someone decorate it for you."

"What's the arrangement?"

The elevator arrived with a "ding", and Liang Xingye said casually, "Some decorations."

The restaurant is not far from the company, and the two of them walked there and arrived at their destination in about 10 minutes.Chi Ning has been here many times, and he is already familiar with the road, so he found a semi-open position by the window and sat down.

The dishes were served quickly. Liang Xingye ordered steamed cod, asparagus and shrimp balls, stir-fried vegetables with vegetables, and a ginseng and quail soup, which was light and homemade.After taking a few mouthfuls of rice, Chi Ning glanced at the cod on the table.

Liang Xingye used to eat pan-fried cod, cut into small pieces, but this time he steamed the whole cod.Chi Ning didn't recognize it when the food was first served. When he picked up the asparagus and shrimp balls next to the cod, and the fish eyes met the fish eyes, he realized that Liang Xingye's favorite cod was actually the cod that often swims around him in the deep sea. little white fish.

Chi Ning watched Liang Xingye pick off the snow-white fish with chopsticks, dip it in the juice, pick it up and put it in his mouth. Slowly, the fish became thinner and thinner, until finally only a fish head was left.

Seeing Chi Ning staring at him, Liang Xingye didn't move for a long time, shaking his hands in front of Chi Ning, "What do you watch me do all day? Eat."

"Ah," Chi Ning returned to his senses in a panic, and buried his head in the bowl to pick and pull the shrimp balls, "I'm eating."

Liang Xingye scooped up a bowl of ginseng and quail soup. He drank half of it. Thinking of something to do today, he put the spoon aside and said to Chi Ning, "My mother's birthday is today. I'm going to Xu's house this afternoon."

He paused, and then said: "If you stay late, I will ask someone to take you back to the villa area first."

With shrimp balls stuffed in Chi Ning's mouth, his cheeks bulged and he said "um".
