Temporary cohabitation

"Would you like to come over and learn how to use the coffee machine?" Cheng Shi suddenly thought while covering the pot and cooking to collect the juice.

"In this way, when I'm not here, you can cook and drink by yourself."

Both Ren Mingyao and he are used to renewing their lives with coffee.The former naturally buys ready-made drinks, but he likes to do it himself, starting from coffee beans and making it step by step.

At first, it was because the protagonist of a work was a barista, so I gritted my teeth and bought a set of machine learning experience.Later, I gradually fell in love with the process of making coffee. Every morning, I rely on the aroma of coffee beans to refresh myself, which is much stronger than the experience of drinking instant.

By the way, it can also save money. The cost of making coffee beans of the same quality is lower than buying them outside, and you can extract them according to your own taste. The labor costs left over these years are enough for him to buy two more sets of machines.

Ren Mingyao muffled, "I don't want to learn."

"...Ah." It's a bit cumbersome for those who haven't been in contact with it.Cheng Shi nodded and said nothing.

Ren Mingyao also likes coffee. He originally thought about leaving the machine when he moved out.But this person doesn't like doing housework at all, and grinding coffee by hand is a bit difficult.Or drink ready-made it.

Ren Mingyao watched Cheng Xiaojun nibbling carrots, his heart was clearly attached to the busy people in the kitchen, so he couldn't help but not look up.Like a prank.

It's not that I really don't want to learn.

He just didn't want to hear "I won't be here in the future" or something like that.

Why not.

I lost contact for so long, do you want to come back again in the future?

He also admitted that he was emotionally slow, otherwise he wouldn't have had such a good relationship with Cheng Shi back then. He didn't even think about why he couldn't help sticking to him.I feel tired of staying with other buddies for a long time, but Cheng Shi is inseparable every day.

He would only think about that if there was something expressly hit him on the head and someone would directly point it out.suddenly see the light.

It turns out that serious buddies are not like that.It's only when I see my buddies.

It turned out that the good buddy he thought of was called "first love" in a serious way.

He still doesn't know whether he should be lucky or regret that he didn't confess to Cheng Shi in the third year of high school.

Cheng Shi's popularity with girls has always been good, but he devoted himself to studying, and set an example in his ears every day to instill in his ears the idea that he should not fall in love early.

You don't even want to fall in love with girls, how can you still fall in love with him?What's more, Cheng Shi has a delicate mind. If he had a crush on him, he would have liked him a long time ago. It is impossible to be more dull than him.

The 17-year-old Ren Mingyao has carefully drawn the four-quadrant analysis and calculated that the success rate of confession is always very low, but he always feels that there are things that should be said or must be said.He is dull, but his mind is open and clear, and he can only walk one way at a time.Once you get the hang of it, you can't go back to the road of friendship, and you can't take it for granted as a good buddy for a lifetime like before.

He secretly planned that he would have to wait until after the college entrance examination was over.The person he likes is too shy, so as not to scare them and affect the review...

Now that I think about it, maybe it was a good thing that I didn't say anything back then.

Otherwise, there will only be a relatively silent embarrassment when meeting again, and there will be no chance of being in the same room as they are now.

Ren Mingyao felt uncomfortable thinking about it, so he simply forgot, there was nothing to think about.

He was originally a character who was good at cutting through messes quickly, not to mention when he was in school, even now, he would make immediate decisions when encountering anything, and fail to succeed.It was only when facing Cheng Shi that he would look forward and backward.

Cheng Zhi didn't want to say what happened in the past few years.What good is there in forcing him to speak out?What can I do if I know it, I can't get back the time wasted before.

The past has passed, and now, Cheng Shi is standing in front of him.And later.

He is no longer the 17-year-old Ren Mingyao, and he will no longer let everything happen, unaware and powerless.

He can distinguish what is more important.

"When will that friend you talked about come here?" Ren Mingyao asked suddenly.

"My friend? Shut up?" Cheng Shi was busy sealing the crisper, and answered the question casually.

"Just the day after tomorrow."

"Can I see her?"

Only then did Cheng Shi raise his head, with a look of incredulity on his face, "... huh?"

"Ah for what."

Ren Mingyao said, "Didn't you also meet my friend? Reciprocity."

In high school, Cheng Zhi had too few personal contacts, so that after the world disappeared, he could find very few clues, and soon found nothing.

It's good to have friends now.If you want to know something, you don't have to ask him himself, you can also start with his friends.

She better be a serious friend.

"But I have to see the producer the day after tomorrow. How long is she here?"

"It should be... two or three days."

Cheng Shi hesitated for a moment, and gathered his courage to invite, "Then, do you want to go to the comic exhibition? We have an appointment to go to the comic exhibition the day after tomorrow."

The idea that was just a flash in his mind before seemed a little unreal when he put it forward in person.

Cheng Xiaojun spat out the carrot peel crumbs with a puff, and licked his lips so brightly with his little tongue.Cheng Shi came out of the kitchen, squatted beside him and wiped the child's saliva, his voice subconsciously softened, and his face blushed inexplicably, "If you want to go, I'll tell Guan Guan. Take Xiaojun, the three of us go together."

He was embarrassed to look at Ren Mingyao.Cheng Xiaojun held his hand, and held out the carrot to Ren Mingyao in the other hand.

Ren Mingyao took the carrot, held the small fleshy hand, rubbed his thumb on the back of his hand, and pressed a small hole.

"Okay. Let's go together."

**

Although the Two-dimensional culture has developed rapidly in recent years, it still belongs to a niche circle overall.For those who are not familiar with it, it may be a childish and incomprehensible weird world.

Ren Mingyao wanted to step into this world and understand the world he loves—Cheng Shi felt happy from the bottom of his heart, and was even grateful.

If the upcoming Tongguan Pass is not counted, he doesn't even have a real friend with common interests.Finally, he caught a Mengxin and pulled him into the circle. In his heart, the "works that most miss Amway" have already been ranked in the top ten, and he can't wait to make another ppt before the comic exhibition and hurry up to make up for Mengxin's lessons.

It's better to be safe and Amway, in case you scare Mengxin away, it's not good.Ren Mingyao hadn't seen him being fanatical and obsessed with something, so he might think him stupid.

But in any case, it would be great to have a common topic.

This kind of joy accompanied him all morning, even thinking about it while riding in the car.Tell Guan Guan later that Ren Mingyao wants to go to the comic exhibition, she will definitely scream and take off.

She has always been curious about Ren Mingyao.At that time, I have to explain it in advance, so as not to be too excited to meet him, and reveal his details...

The town of my hometown is still dusty everywhere, and the roads are not easy to walk.Cheng Shi carefully held Cheng Xiaojun by the hand. He was in a completely different mood from the last time he came back. When encountering polite neighbors, he would push his glasses and show a sincere smile.

He bought fresh fruits and pastries to the cemetery, carefully arranged them in front of grandma's stele, and then pulled Cheng Xiaojun to sit down beside the stele, talking slowly.

I came back today to visit my dearest person. He is not sad, at least not more sad than last time.On the way here, he also thought about what to say, so he could talk for a while, and he would not leave after scribbling a few sentences like before, leaving grandma alone to worry about him.

Today's weather is also good, neither hot nor cold, the sun is not dazzling, and there is a breeze.This time, Cheng Xiaojun obediently compared his heart with the grandma, and began to eat bananas again.

Cheng Shi reported his recent situation in detail, summed up in four words, everything is fine.It will get better and better in the future.

He wanted to talk about Ren Mingyao, but he didn't know how to introduce him, "That's... the one who came to visit our house before, tall and handsome, our monitor. You burned chicken wings for him, grandma, remember him? Surely you remember. I've only ever taken him home, and that's him."

"We met again recently. He also took me to live with him and saved a lot of rent. He was always a good boy, didn't you, you said."

Cheng Shi paused while talking, for some reason, he couldn't even express his deep embarrassment to grandma, so he picked up the cub beside him to change the subject, "Xiao Jun, do you still remember grandma's words?" What does it look like? Do you miss your parents?"

After Cheng Xiaojun was born, he met his grandma a few times.It's a pity that I am too young, I guess I won't have any impression when I grow up, I can only look at the photos to remember.

The same goes for other relatives.

"Xiaojun's mother is in the sky, father... father is in..."

Cheng Zhiyu choked for a while, then whispered, "Father should be in a place where he can live freely."

He knew why Cheng Yu never came home.

He had broken his ankle more than once, and every time he was beaten by drunk Cheng Yong.The first time it was broken was because he was squeezed out by his classmates and ink was splashed on his desk. The instigators were four people who were proud of him.

At that time, he was young, and he was not yet the character of swallowing his anger, and he would take revenge if he was bullied.It was still returned as it was, and all the desks of the four people were splashed with ink.

Both parents died and stayed at the uncle's house. The teacher seemed to think that he was a student with psychological problems. It was not surprising that such a thing happened, so he directly invited the parents.

Cheng Yong has been with the contracting team all year round, sometimes at home and sometimes not. At that time, he was resting at home just in time. When he heard the teacher's call, he put down his bottle of wine and rode a motorcycle to the office.

That was the first and only time he was beaten in school.No right or wrong, no reason.The young man's self-esteem was above everything else, yet it was shattered to pieces that day.

From that day to the end of the third year of high school.The past that he most wanted to get rid of was all thanks to him.

Even the teacher who was watching the excitement couldn't bear it that day, and said forget it, just take it home and teach it orally.So he really didn't attend class in the afternoon and was taken home, but it was not "oral education" as the teacher said.

He remembered very clearly that Cheng Yongfa beat him hard, and said through gritted teeth, "Break your legs, let's see where you dare to run."

Only that day did he realize that the so-called parents don't care about right and wrong.His biggest mistake was that he had a face that was too similar to his cousin.

Cheng Yu is Cheng Yong's only son.Amidst the discussions among the neighbors in the city, this cousin dropped out of school early and went out to work to earn money. As a result, he was infected with mental problems in the big city and liked men.

The town is too small, and everyone knows about the slightest disturbance.As a disgrace to his family, Cheng Yu had no face to stay in the town all the time, and only came back every few years during the Chinese New Year.

Cheng Yong's teeth were itching with hatred, and he wanted to find someone unlucky to vent his anger.In the end, it was his cousin Cheng Shi who suffered the crime.

Cheng Shi didn't blame him, especially after liking Ren Mingyao.He only hopes to grow up soon, leave the town like Cheng Yu, and live independently.

Now it can be considered a reality.

Cheng Shi looked at the milky child beside him, and sighed heavily in his heart.

He has been away from home for too long, and he doesn't know how this cousin gave birth to the child, and his grandma didn't tell him on the phone.But Cheng Xiaojun is also very similar to him. If he stays with Cheng Yong and grows up, he dare not think about the consequences.

Cheng Yong didn't come when preparing for grandma's funeral, and was working on a construction site in another place.He didn't know about the Ching Ming Festival yet, and he didn't tell any elders that he was coming back. He just wanted to quietly go to his grandma's house after paying homage, and took Cheng Xiaojun's birth certificate and household registration booklet.

As long as Cheng Yong is not at home, the aunt is still easy to talk to.If he couldn't contact Cheng Yu, he had to be prepared to keep Cheng Xiaojun by his side for a long time.Cheng Xiaojun is almost three years old and will be able to go to kindergarten soon, and these materials will be needed then.There is also a physical examination, waiting for May to arrive...

Cheng Zhi's heart trembled suddenly.

Like a reaction carved into the body.Sensing the approaching danger, he turned his head abruptly, and the figure at the entrance of the park in the distance passed by.He picked up Cheng Xiaojun, staggered into the green belt under the cover of the tombstone, hiding behind the bushes, not daring to pant loudly.

"..."

Cheng Xiaojun was at a loss, and half of the banana in his hand fell to the ground. He covered his mouth when he was about to struggle, and coaxed him in a very low voice, almost pleading, "Little Jun...be quiet, please, Let's go out and eat..."

Through the tiny gaps in the leaves, he saw that stout figure standing in front of grandma's tombstone, the familiarity made him faintly sick.

Cheng Yong is back.

He didn't stay long in front of the tombstone, and left after a few minutes.Cheng Shi hugged the young body in his arms, trembling uncontrollably for a long time, squatting until his feet were numb but did not stand up.

He is afraid of Cheng Yong.

He's like a puppy who's been forcefully conditioned to be terrified even though he knows he's done nothing wrong, even after all this time.

The little body in his arms writhed uncomfortably, and Cheng Shi was surprised that he had used too much strength to hug him, and let go quickly, "Xiaojun... sorry, did you hurt you, let's go back..."

But what about kindergarten?His household registration book is still at home.

Cheng Yong must be at home...

don't want to meet...

Cheng Xiaojun squatted on the ground and picked the grass.He sat blankly for a long while, with a buzzing sound in his palm, and looked down, and unexpectedly heard Ren Mingyao's sleepy voice, "Cheng Shi? What's wrong?"

"..."

He subconsciously called Ren Mingyao.

"Mermaid Breeding Project"

The mermaid race that manages the ocean has a high status, but it's a pity that the birth rate is too low and they are about to become extinct.

As one of them, Yu Xiao is curious about the human world.One day, I got tired of staying at the bottom of the sea, so I decided to go ashore to find a human and give birth to a little mermaid to revitalize the family.

So the School of Biological Sciences of Haida began to spread the legend of a mysterious student.A student with a bright and pretty face strikes up conversations everywhere, and asks: Will you give me a baby?

The one with the tail.

Professor Zhou snorted when he heard it: What happened?What are you doing?The family has a throne to inherit?

Yu Xiao's eyes lit up: How did he know!

so smart!I have to figure out a way to pass it on to my baby!

**

Zhou Yesheng is a well-known irascible tutor in the School of Biological Sciences. He is the most annoying idiot. When his temper comes up, he can smash the desk with one hand.It was so terrifying that the graduate students burned incense all night to avoid him.

Until one day, he picked up a little mermaid eating a plastic bottle by the side of the road, chewing it loudly.

How could such a creature with a brain that ran away from home appear on his bed.

Then the little mermaid raised her beautiful tail, shattered the marble fish tank, and curled around his ankle weakly.

Zhou Yesheng: Make the bed overnight.
