Temporary cohabitation

Cheng Shi was so frightened by him that he stammered involuntarily, "Don't, don't...don't make such a joke."

"Am I the type to make jokes like this?"

"But I, I..."

"Do you like men or women, agree to me or reject me, it doesn't affect my liking for you."

Ren Mingyao said word by word, "I should have told you in the third year of high school. If you were implicated by me and failed to perform well and failed to get into a good university, I will accompany you to repeat the exam. If you fail for one year, you will take the exam for another year. No matter what happens, you will be better than now .”

He said it so eloquently, but he didn't really have any idea in his heart.

I don't know what gave him courage, maybe it was the softness and sweetness that seemed to have been rehearsed a thousand times in his heart when he heard the sound of "Ming Yao", or maybe it was the fear that the mistakes of the past would repeat themselves.

He doesn't understand others, but he knows Cheng Shi.Looking gentle and gentle, in fact, he got up and walked away for eight years without saying a word.Take the soft but not the hard, and don't push too fast. If you take too big a step, you will be scared away and regret that there is nowhere to take the medicine.

But he just couldn't wait.

He was afraid that as long as he left, Cheng Shi would disappear completely in a place where he could not see at any time.

"Come with me to the set, I'll pay you ten times the salary."

"..."

"Otherwise, I won't go on a business trip. Ask them to go with another person, or pass the script to me every day for an online meeting."

He approached relentlessly, and the confession hadn't yielded any results, and then he was playing tricks.Cheng Shi had only seen him with a stern face, but he had never seen such a scoundrel and pestering Ren Mingyao before. He said in embarrassment, "What nonsense are you talking about, sober up."

"I'm too sober to say that."

"Then you can't either..."

"I've been on a business trip for so long, what if you sneak away again one day?"

"What's the matter... I won't sneak away."

"Are you going in the light of day?"

"..."

The siege posture is getting closer and closer to a hug, and the closer they are, their cheeks are close to the flesh, Cheng Shi pushes his head dumbfoundingly, "I promise! I promise, I swear, can't I? I won't move in before you come back. Go anywhere, I... I'll talk about it when you come back, okay? Go to work, do whatever you want, and don't cause trouble for others. "

"Let me go... let me go, Jun is watching, don't do this."

Ren Mingyao turned his head and glanced scribbled at the words.Cheng Xiaojun went looking for toys, so he couldn't care about the two of them, so he turned back and continued to press the man into his arms: "He's not looking."

"..."

It's completely shameless, isn't it?

Cheng Shi could no longer find any excuses, his mind couldn't turn, he could only stutter "you you you", and he couldn't make a complaint.Gradually his voice lowered and he stopped talking.

As soon as he was quiet, Ren Mingyao felt uneasy and straightened up to look at him.

With Cheng Shi's personality, what he fears most is not making a sound.Whether you are angry with him or hate him, if you are bored in your heart and cannot get it out, there is nothing you can do.

But things are different today.

Ren Mingyao looked at him carefully, and couldn't help laughing, "Your forehead is even red."

"..."

She was blushing silently.

Cheng Shi immediately covered his face with his hands, turned his palms towards him, and rushed away shyly, "Okay, stop talking, you go first."

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"heard it."

"What about your own words?"

"...I'll do it."

Ren Mingyao thought for a while, and added another, "Answer my calls every day."

"Understood." As long as he could get him to leave quickly, Cheng Shi closed his eyes and agreed indiscriminately, "I will pick it up, every day... Don't look at it, it's so stupid."

Even with his eyes closed, he could still feel that gaze locked on him firmly, as if it could pass through the palm of his hand, scorching his already flushed face.

Ren Mingyao curled his lips, his gaze lingered for a few seconds, before he got up, he lowered his head and kissed his wet palm.

"so cute."

**

Cheng Shi was in a trance all night.

I can't say whether I am happy or unhappy, I don't know how I feel.Unable to use thinking and judgment to clarify logic, just in a trance, doubting whether everything really happened.

Lie with eyes open until dawn, in the morning he clearly heard movement in the living room, and before Ren Mingyao left, he knocked on the door twice to call him.

But he pretended he was still asleep and didn't dare to respond, and even covered Cheng Xiaojun's ears guiltily.

Until the sound of footsteps in the living room faded away, the door opened and closed, and all movement disappeared.He just opened the door quietly, looked around with his head, and walked out of the room to go to the bathroom with confidence.

Cheng Xiaojun woke up early, trotted out from his lap, and circled around the living room.

Children have no worries, they should sleep and eat, and even pee can be solved with diapers in the room.In order not to meet face to face, Cheng Shi suffocated enough, he came out of the bathroom after a while, and saw him stretching his hand towards the dining table.

The chair was too high for him to climb up by himself.Cheng Shi picked him up and put him on the baby chair, and saw the takeaway bags from the fruit shop on the dining table.

The bag was full, and I opened it to see that there were many peeled and cut fruit boxes inside. Only one bag of oranges was completely unpacked.

Cheng Shi took it out and opened the seal and counted, no more, no less, exactly ten.

Cheng Xiaojun pointed happily, "Shi."

"..."

Cheng Shi smiled helplessly, ruffled the soft hair on top of his head in anger, and reproached softly, "How can you not help little uncle? He just knows how to eat. He really knows how to bribe you."

Cheng Xiaojun only had oranges in his eyes, and he struggled to reach them with his short arms.Cheng Shi took one, washed it, cut it up, and served it to him on the baby's dinner plate. He was not in the mood to eat anything at all, and sat at the dining table with his face in his hands, worrying.

How did things come to this.

Ren Mingyao knew him well.Knowing that when he feels embarrassed, he would want to leave here in order to avoid answering, so he just expressed his attitude and didn't ask him to give a "yes" or "no" right away.

Even if Ren Mingyao didn't force a response, he couldn't listen to it.But how should he respond?Or, what else could he offer in response?

During the eight blank years, it seemed that he had taken time out of his thoughts. He was so preoccupied with thinking about how to make himself and Xiaojun live a better life in the future that he almost forgot that what Ren Mingyao said was something that he could not even dream of. If you dare not think.Now that I heard it, after being shocked, what was left was a sense of loss.

How much of the passionate and secret love eight years ago still remained in his heart.

Had he ever been loved so passionately and secretly?

As if counting the time when Ren Mingyao was going out, Zhong Yu's call came into his mobile phone.As soon as he opened his mouth, he was arrogant, "I thought you wouldn't answer. Did you see the number I left for you?"

"Yeah. I know it's you."

Cheng Shi turned on the external speaker, put the phone on the table, and sighed with a smile, "Why did you put the post-it note on the last page? If you don't open it, you won't be able to find it easily."

"I just want to see if you can still flip through the old things."

Zhong Yu snorted.Cheng Shi memorized her number, which made her tone more relaxed, and she went straight to the topic, "Did Ren Mingyao tell you about the college entrance examination volunteering?"

It turned out that she called to apologize.

Cheng Shi listened to her patiently as before, and said gently, "Don't say that, I can't blame you."

"You don't know what he meant, just paraphrased it to me. Even I misunderstood it. It's not your fault."

"I couldn't sleep last night. I was thinking all night, if you didn't have this misunderstanding at that time, you should have been admitted to the same school and be together long ago."

Zhong Yu said dejectedly, "How can you be so cruel? Just leave as soon as you say, and no one will care. Even if you are embarrassed to contact Ren Mingyao, at least contact me? It's not that I can't help you keep it secret. At least one person knows How are you doing, everyone can rest easy."

Cheng Shi's character is not the criterion for her to choose a boyfriend, but as a best friend, she has absolutely nothing to say.In high school, it was indeed because of Ren Mingyao that we got close at first, but after chatting for a long time, it was definitely not just because of Ren Mingyao.

How anxious was she when she couldn't get in touch with Cheng Shi?Later, I missed it for many years. Even today, even if it is not as deep-rooted as Ren Mingyao, it will not be shorter than Ren Mingyao.

"I heard from that idiot Song Ziyang that you didn't even go to college, why?"

"Well... I was not in good health at the time, and I was not suitable for going to school."

Cheng Shi thought about it for a while, and answered lightly, "Later, when I got better and missed the time for the college entrance examination, I felt that it was not so important whether I could go to college. It would be good to just skip that step and earn my own living in advance. I am now You'll be fine, don't worry."

"That's what you said...then you should contact me even more at that time. Why are you afraid to let us know about your illness? I can still go and see you."

Zhong Yu said helplessly, "You don't know that in the last half of the third year of high school, Ren Mingyao was so insane that he was almost like a fool."

Cheng Shi let out an "ah" and listened intently.

"In the last six months, he didn't say anything about being the class monitor, and he just focused on studying. Our head teacher thought he was determined to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Do you know how much he scored in the college entrance examination? He really passed the line, but he just didn't go."

Cheng Shi asked in a daze, "Why?"

"Why do you say?"

Still saying stupid things like this.Zhong Yu said unhappily, "He is looking for you because of you, to go to the school that he has agreed to."

Cheng Shi came back to his senses and hummed lightly.

What he asked subconsciously was not this.

He was wondering why Ren Mingyao didn't want to be the squad leader anymore.

Obviously, it has been so smooth, even if it feels like a waste of time, it is fine to distribute the responsibilities to other committee members and just take the name, and it is not necessary to hold meaningless meetings because they have to sprint for the college entrance examination.It's been the last six months, and there's no need to resign in a big way.

Is it really just that you are afraid of delaying your studies?

He always felt that Ren Mingyao's care in the past was based on the duty of the squad leader and the responsibility among friends.But is it really just that?

Ren Mingyao used to be careless even in his studies, and he never had a hobby of being in the limelight, let alone meddling in other people's business.Why have you insisted on running for class president for several years in a row?

What exactly did he miss, he still hasn't seen clearly.

Thinking of those words last night, Cheng Shi's cheeks burned again, and even his tone of answering the phone became erratic.Zhong Yu noticed the abnormality, "Are you tired? Could it be that you didn't sleep well last night?"

"Didn't sleep much..."

"Did something happen to you two after I left yesterday? Shouldn't there be a quarrel? It wouldn't be because of me?!"

"...No, really not, don't think about it." Cheng Shi picked up a cold orange and put it on his cheek to cool down, took a deep breath, and regained his normal tone, "I'll just rest for a while."

"Oh, then you should catch up on your sleep. Where is the child in your relative's house?"

"He's very good."

It's time to catch up on sleep.It's useless to be awake, my mind can't turn.Cheng Shi put down the phone, wanted to go back to the room to lie down, picked up Cheng Xiaojun to wash his face, just took the door and pushed it open, came out and took back the phone, put it next to the pillow.

For some reason, this small act made him feel at ease and embarrassed.

He was really tired the night before, and he fell asleep quickly, even deeply.Cheng Xiaojun can often play all afternoon just playing with building blocks, and he won't bother him just after eating.

So much so that his sleep was awakened by the vibration beside the pillow.

A loud background sound could be heard vaguely on the other end of the phone.

"sleeping?"

"Well, I took a nap."

Ren Mingyao's voice paused for a moment, and then the car door opened and closed, and the other side of the phone seemed to enter another world, and it became quiet in an instant.

Cheng Shi became more awake, sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, and listened carefully to what he said.

Ren Mingyao's voice came clearly: "I understand. I didn't sleep well last night."

"..."

"I've just landed, now I'm going to the crew, and I'll go back to the hotel after meeting the director. I can still call you when I go back to the hotel at night."

There is no need to report the itinerary in such detail.Cheng Shi coughed lightly, "Okay... your voice is a little hoarse, do you have a cold?"

Ren Mingyao took a sniff before he realized it, "It seems to be."

"I brought you some cold medicine. It's in the mesh bag on the upper shelf of the suitcase. You can see it at a glance when you open it."

He murmured unconsciously, "Remember to drink it when you get back to the hotel later. If you can't find it, ask me again. You must drink it. The longer you procrastinate, the harder it will be."

"it is good."

The street view outside the car window is speeding.Ren Mingyao relaxed and leaned on the car seat, staying up all night and rushing on the road, but his voice did not show fatigue. After listening to his nagging, he called him, "Cheng Shi."

"...Well. I'm here."

Cheng Shi clenched his phone tightly and even glanced at Cheng Xiaojun's movements.Subconsciously nervous, I felt that he was going to say something that children couldn't listen to.

Ren Mingyao said, "I miss you very much."

Come to Liao!

The little hand that sprinkled sugar trembled slightly

Evening as usual

There is one more in the middle of the night
