Temporary cohabitation

The heavy rain poured into the storefront on the first floor, and it covered the ankles in just a moment.Cheng Shi only had time to pack a travel bag, carpooled with the landlord with the child in his arms, and evacuated the old city as quickly as possible.

He has never encountered such weather since he was born, so that after being transferred to a safe hotel, he would feel terrified standing by the window and looking at the scene downstairs.

The tires of the car were almost submerged by the turbulent water, and the engine couldn't work normally. It turned off and stopped on the side of the road like a discarded toy.On the side of the road, a half-grown child migrated to a higher place with his parents, and a stagger was almost washed away by the current.

Cheng Xiaojun hugged his neck, followed him with wide eyes and looked down, not understanding what was going on in this world.

Cheng Shi silently raised his hand to close the curtain, and kissed his forehead, "Good boy, don't be afraid, we'll be fine."

They stayed in the hotel for two days.The rain was still falling endlessly, and by the third day the water in the old city hadn't subsided, Cheng Shi couldn't sit still.

He was in a hurry to go out, and he didn't expect the situation to be so serious. He didn't bring too many things with him. The equipment used for work was still in the rental house. Cheng Xiaojun only brought three days' worth of diapers and milk powder. No food.You can't let children eat takeaway with him.

Fortunately, I just finished drawing this week's update yesterday.Looking at the live broadcast in the news, the water level over there has flooded the shops on the first floor.His room is on the third floor, so I don't know if the computer and tablet in it will suffer.

Children have nothing to worry about, they can still play in another place.Cheng Shi sat by the bed worrying, and sighed thinking about the balance in Alipay.

He has no real friends, and his relatives are stingy and they are all in the small town, so he can't find anyone who can help him.If I borrow money from netizens...will it be considered a scam?Besides, he didn't know when the water would recede. If he wanted to borrow money, how much would it be appropriate to borrow?

Tongguanguan is still in college, and his income is accumulated little by little from drawing and drafting.Borrowing too much is too difficult to open. If you borrow too little, if you run out soon and can’t go home, you have to borrow a second time. How can you open your mouth...

Cheng Shi pondered for a long time, and decided to speak frankly to get the phone, and decided to tell her frankly first, discuss with her before considering how much money is needed for the emergency.

He found shelter hastily, because of the weather, all the better hotels around were sold out.The room at the end of the hallway in this small hotel is still a steal.The price is twice as high as usual, but the facilities are still the same as when the discount was half price.The space is small and dark, with a musty smell, and even the bedside socket is broken, so I can only unplug the TV socket and plug in the mobile phone charger.

When he picked up his fully charged mobile phone, three hours had passed since Ren Mingyao sent the WeChat message.

"Are you home?", "How's the rain?", "How's it going?" on the screen. There was even a missed call, but he missed it because he turned his phone to silent.

Cheng Shi quickly replied to the message saying he was safe.The other person reacted quickly and asked where he was.

He honestly returned to the hotel where he was staying.

Just half an hour later, Ren Mingyao came and knocked on the door.

When he opened the door, Cheng Shi had a look of disbelief: "Is your house flooded too?!"

"..."

Ren Mingyao coughed lightly, "No. I passed by here on a business trip and came up to see you."

He was still dragging a suitcase in his hand, which seemed to be more than one level more believable.But Cheng Shi thought about it carefully and felt that there was something wrong, "I don't seem to have told you the room number."

"I asked the front desk downstairs. Where's Cheng Xiaojun?"

Ren Mingyao skipped this topic without any trace, and walked in with the suitcase.

Seeing the overcrowded environment in the room, his expression was not very relaxed, and he asked in a deep voice, "How long have you lived here?"

"Two days."

Cheng Shi closed the door, even if he wanted to greet him, he didn't know where to start.There are no beverages in the room, and the hot water pot is shared. It is estimated that he would not be willing to drink the hot water boiled in it, so he could only point to the bed awkwardly, "Sit."

Just as Cheng Xiaojun climbed to the end of the bed, he felt the mattress sag. Looking up, from his perspective, Ren Mingyao, who was wearing a black windbreaker, approached like a black mountain.

"Xiao Jun." Cheng Shi deliberately reminded, "Look, Uncle Ren."

The black mountain turned half a circle, revealing a human face.Cheng Xiaojun stared at him for a while, then suddenly raised his arms and stretched out two round hands.

The short thumb and forefinger pinched together to show him a heart.

Ren Mingyao: "..."

Cheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Is it okay this time?At least better than spitting.

Faced with the child's sudden overtures, Ren Mingyao seemed very uncomfortable, but he still put on the airs of an adult and rubbed his hair lightly, "It's very good."

After Cheng Xiaojun finished the task, he crawled to the head of the bed to play with the pillows again.

Cheng Shi watched the old classmate who "dropped in" sitting by the bed, looking around the room without saying a word, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

What if...he borrowed money from Ren Mingyao?

Screenwriters should have more money than college students, and his monitor is a kind person...

But this thought only flashed for a moment before he was vehemently rejected.

He just told Tongguan Guan that Ren Mingyao owed him nothing.Then he shouldn't owe others.

It's fine to borrow money from a friend and pay it back later, but Ren Mingyao's...I always feel that there is something unclear.

While he was distracted, the person in front of him finally finished the environmental inspection and concluded, "My home should be more comfortable to live in than this place."

"..."

Isn't this nonsense?Cheng Shi murmured in his heart.

Even his [-]-square-meter rental house is much more comfortable than living here.

"Have you had dinner?" Ren Mingyao asked.

"not yet."

"Can you cook?"

"..."

Cheng Shi said, "Yes."

"Can you do other chores?"

"……meeting."

"That's good." Ren Mingyao said, "I won't."

"..."

Cheng Shi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say: "...Oh."

How did they get here?

No, what are they doing talking about this kind of topic?

"I live by myself, and I usually hire part-time workers to clean up. I don't worry about outsiders coming in and out. If you come to live, you can use the housework to pay the rent."

Ren Mingyao stopped playing around in circles, and stated the conditions straightforwardly, "I checked the monthly salary of the local housekeeper, and also checked the average monthly rent of Jingyue Huating. Your monthly rent is directly deducted from the monthly salary, and I have to pay extra I'll give you 2000 yuan."

"……what."

Check what?When did you check it?

Cheng Shi was dumbfounded.

How did things get to this point?

He just thought about whether he should borrow money from Ren Mingyao, and then Ren Mingyao said... want to give him 2000 yuan?

"Ah what. Do you understand?"

Seeing that he was still in the fog, Ren Mingyao sighed.In the next second, with that familiar and unquestionable voice, he made a comment on his behavior.

"Cheng Shi, follow me."

**

Many people would resent such a domineering tone.It seems that people are not allowed to have their own opinions, and everything has to be arranged by him.

Cheng Shi just loves this.

When he was holding the child and getting into the taxi with Ren Mingyao, he was still in that foggy state, and he didn't remember whether he said yes or no, anyway, he just followed along.

He didn't react until he entered the high-end residential area, swiped his card, took the elevator and entered the door according to the password.

This is Ren Mingyao's home.

"The door lock can store several sets of passwords at the same time, and tomorrow I will enter the one you are used to. Or just record your fingerprints."

The lights in the entrance hall are on 24 hours a day.Ren Mingyao gave him two pairs of slippers, "All the slippers here are the same size, I will buy a smaller size tomorrow."

"Then just a pair first." Cheng Shi said hastily.If it is too big, Cheng Xiaojun can't wear it, and it will increase the risk of tripping himself.

"Okay." Ren Mingyao put back a pair, changed his shoes and went in first, turned on the light in the living room, "Go take a shower to drive away the cold, I'll order takeaway. What do you want to eat?"

"It's all right."

Cheng Xiaojun stood at the door, observing the new environment coldly with a small face, and did not move even after being pulled by Cheng Shi.

"Xiaojun, let's live here temporarily, okay?" He squatted down on his slippers and explained patiently, "Don't be afraid, it's very warm here, right. We won't get caught in the rain."

After comforting him softly for a while, Cheng Xiaojun held tightly the finger he extended, and finally agreed to take two steps forward.

It was still cold on the floor, especially when he took off his shoes and socks. He was afraid of catching a cold, so Cheng Shi simply picked him up and went to the bathroom. It would be safer to use this way of moving for the time being tonight.

Ren Mingyao leaned against the door of the bathroom, watching him coax the child.He turned his eyes away when he came face to face, "The things you need in the bathroom are inside, I'll get a set of pajamas, and I'll hang it on the doorknob for you later."

"it is good."

He said thank you strangely and closed the bathroom door.

When he went out, he only thought about taking care of the children, and he brought very little for himself.I haven't changed my clothes for two days, because I only have this one.He had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time, and he was reluctant to buy a new one, so he finally got a change of clothes tonight, so he didn't refuse.

Ren Mingyao's family did not have and could not have a children's bathtub, so it became difficult to bathe Cheng Xiaojun.Fortunately, he is an obedient child, except for struggling a few times when washing his hair, most of the time he is obediently being manipulated.

Probably because Cheng Xiaojun was very clingy when he first arrived in a new environment, and he always had a hand to hold.After taking a shower, he didn't bother to dry his hair, so he rubbed it with a towel, intending to dry it naturally.

The person in the mirror has shoulder-length hair, and the ends of the hair are wet in the socket of the shoulders. It sets off the wet and clear eyebrows and eyes, giving it a special style.

During the first video call, Tongguan Guan praised him as a beauty.It is said that a person like him cannot be superficially summed up as a beautiful man or a beautiful woman. He is a beauty, and it is most suitable to have long hair.

In fact, he didn't grow his hair out to look good in the first place—at least not entirely.

He has had this hairstyle since junior high school. At that time, he was too poor. Apart from buying study materials, he had no right to control his pocket money.Cheng Yong didn't let him go to the barber shop to "waste money". At first, he used the clipper to push it for him.

After entering adolescence, the little boy also knows to pay attention to his image, and he is no longer willing to be bald.I don’t have the money to go to the barber shop, so I have cut it twice in front of the mirror, and it’s either cut like a dog or fried.

His head shape is good, the back of his head is round and beautiful, and a low ponytail is very suitable.But at that time, no boy would have long hair. It was more suitable than normal, and everyone who saw him on the way to school would laugh at him.

Only Ren Mingyao will look at it carefully for a while, and comment pertinently: "It looks very comfortable."

Because of his words, Cheng Shi gave up the idea of ​​"just cut it like a dog".It has also become a habit to cut my own hair, and every time I cut it to a length that can just be tied up.

Before walking out of the bathroom, Cheng Shi noticed that the mouthwash cup next to the mirror, toothpaste and toothbrush were all for one person, and they were placed alone.

Ren Mingyao's house was cleaned very clean, as was the bathroom.But deserted, everything is for one person, even the slippers are only disposable.

The subtle happiness not long ago has quietly expanded a little bit.

He doesn't like living under the fence.But Ren Mingyao's persuasion this time is very good, and every sentence is reasonable, especially in this situation where he has no choice, it makes him feel that he has found a part-time job for himself, which is fair to both parties, and there is nothing wrong with it .

He always liked to clean up the house and was good at cooking.

Just stay... It's not impossible to stay for a few days.
