Temporary cohabitation

The little milk dog's fur is still very short, and it keeps shaking.Cheng Shi took out Cheng Xiaojun's clothes and asked him to choose one for his new friend.

The takeaway from the pet store was delivered, and the puppy drank milk and had clothes to wear, and fell asleep on the carpet full and warm.Cheng Xiaojun returned to the bed reluctantly, the novelty hadn't passed yet, and he couldn't fall asleep with blinking eyes, and sat up writhing and looking at the puppy every 2 minutes, and it took a while for him to stop.

Cheng Shi turned over lightly, and saw that Ren Mingyao was still up, leaning on the bed and playing with his mobile phone absently. He always felt that he forgot something on the way back just now, but he couldn't remember it right now.I was very concerned about the movement in Yu Guangli, and asked with a mouth-filling voice, "Are you asleep?"

"Well, it's okay." There is still a quilt in the closet.Cheng Shi returned to his quilt and lay down, pulled the quilt up to his chin and wrapped it comfortably, his feet were warm and hot, he couldn't help laughing, "When did you tuck it in?"

"When you took Xiaojun to brush his teeth." Ren Mingyao let go of his voice, turned off his mobile phone and lay down under the quilt, as if he had discovered it for the first time while speaking, "He actually has teeth."

"..." She has all her baby teeth, okay?

"I thought of what the dog could be called." Cheng Shi asked for advice in a low voice, "What do you think, how about calling it Colored Pencil?"

"Okay." Ren Mingyao didn't know which color was which lead, but he first expressed his support anyway, and then asked in a low voice like a secret code, "Why is it called this?"

Cheng Shi said, "Because you gave it to me."

He shrank under the quilt again, covering half of his face, as if he was embarrassed to say this.Then I remembered that the lights in the room were not turned on at this moment, Ren Mingyao should not be able to see his expression.

But he could hear Ren Mingyao's laughter, which was very soft, as if there was nothing there, and he still felt hot on his face.Ren Mingyao came to his senses, and was flattered that he had participated, "Is this just what you said, what is that word called, dream linkage?"

"Hmm... that's it."

After Cheng Shi finished speaking, he suddenly ran out of words.He was lying on his side facing Ren Mingyao, and Ren Mingyao was also facing him.The light in the room was dim, and he knew that Ren Mingyao couldn't see anything, but he still looked at the position where he should be and didn't close his eyes, his heart was throbbing for this imaginary staring at each other for no reason.

Ren Mingyao didn't turn his head to sleep, and he was reluctant to move. He just looked at each other for a long time through the aisle between the two beds. Cheng Shicai asked eagerly, "Why did you suddenly talk so much last night?"

The kids are asleep and finally able to have some nightly adult conversation.It's hard to tell if Ren Mingyao has been staying up all this time because he was just waiting for this, and when he heard it, he answered quickly, "Is that called sudden? If I told you normally without drinking, would it scare you even more? Have a drink while you're at it Besides the wine, it seems logical."

The old saying is still quite reasonable, "alcohol is strong and courageous".It's just that with them, it's not for the drunk man to embolden, but for the one who listens.

Cheng Shi thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.He was shocked again last night, at least he sat on the sofa and listened to it.

If Ren Mingyao confessed again for no reason, it is estimated that he would be like the day he was at home. His mind was in a daze, he just wanted to drive people away quickly, and he couldn't listen to anything, "I thought you were talking nonsense when you drank too much. You The appearance of serious heart-to-heart talk is really like a drunk and nonsense uncle in the town."

"..."

Although, after talking about it, he did fall asleep dizzy and dizzy after drinking.Ren Mingyao seemed to be able to refute but was not completely confident to refute. He was speechless for a while, and when he heard him chuckle in the dark room, he also compromised, "Okay, as long as you're happy."

Cheng Shi asked curiously, "Then what do you really look like when you drink too much?"

"I'm not sure, I have to ask Song Ziyang. If I drink too much, I will lose my memory. I won't remember it when I wake up."

"Oh..." He saw Ren Mingyao move, put his arm outside into the quilt, and changed into the same wrapped posture as him, and asked worriedly, "Does the arm still hurt?"

Ren Mingyao said, "If you stop crying, I won't be in pain."

"..." Cheng Shi was belatedly worried about his own image, "Don't tell others. I'm actually not like this... I couldn't cry once in the past year, unless I saw a very touching plot. "

"Well," Ren Mingyao continued, "Then why did it suddenly change now?"

Cheng Shi pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"I always feel that you are unhappy after living with me." Ren Mingyao said, "It's not about you crying, but you're not very happy at ordinary times."

He remembered that Cheng Shi always smiled shyly when he was in school.Although they all smiled very lightly, they always made people feel itchy, and they couldn't tell why.It's as if a brand-new brush has been dipped in water, and the soft bristles spread out slightly after being wet, touching the tip of the heart and brushing lightly.

It's rarely seen recently.Like a brush to dry, put it in a case and put it on the shelf, and don't want to use it after a long time.

Cheng Zhi didn't feel it himself.He is always worried about what to do in the future, he is preoccupied, and the gloomy past is like a whip whipping in his mind from time to time. He is troubled by the past and the future, but he rarely pays attention to the present.

He remembered that he lived in his uncle's house when he was young, and it seemed to be the same.I don’t dare to ask for anything, I am embarrassed to add a second bowl if I am not full, and I don’t feel at ease when I sleep in bed. I always feel that I will be kicked out soon. I think about when I can leave every day, and I want to be alone. , have a place of refuge that only belongs to you.

He clearly knew that Ren Mingyao was different from those people, but the timidity and rejection engraved in his bones were difficult to understand easily, and they were also conditioned reflexes, not for people.

No matter how I think about it, I have already said what I said in the bathroom tonight, whether it is impulsive or compromise, there is no way to take it back.Ren Mingyao also said "I heard it" several times, as if reminding him not to go back on his word.

Cheng Shi pondered for a while, and didn't know how to say it. He was always tactful, "Do you... like Xiaojun?"

Ren Mingyao thought for a while, "It's okay."

He doesn't like children very much, they find them bothersome and noisy.But Cheng Xiaojun is obedient and quiet most of the time, and looks like Cheng Shi.

"I will still do housework in the future."

Cheng Shi said, "But you don't want to pay me any more."

Ren Mingyao understood what he meant a little bit, and said happily, "Then I will give you pocket money."

Cheng Shi didn't refuse, and loosened his fingers unconsciously clenched into fists under the quilt due to nervousness, and rubbed the hot water bottle with his instep.

He really hasn't talked to Ren Mingyao properly for many days.

Ever since Ren Mingyao started his business trip, whether they were talking on the phone or staying together in a hotel, they never had a relaxed chat.When I was in school, although we saw each other every day, there was always something to talk about.

Although he is introverted, he talks a lot and has subtle feelings about the insignificant things around him.Ren Mingyao himself rarely noticed those things, but it was very interesting to hear him talk about them.

Just like it is now.

It was the first time for Cheng Shi to leave home, and he had seen a lot in Minghai in the past two days.There are different types of landscape trees along the street, different styles and locations of trash cans, meal order and eating habits, and how new buildings and old streets blend together.The differences of the cities all accumulate and change in these places, which are quite different from the environment I am used to living in, and finally form an interesting and strange appearance.

It wasn't the first time Ren Mingyao came to Minghai on business, but he spent most of his time in the hotel and on the set. He didn't go out to play, and he never paid attention to it.

When Cheng Shi heard that he didn't understand anything, he became more eager to talk. He babbled until midnight, saying that he was sleepy, and yawning while talking, thinking of a paragraph, before falling asleep, still thinking about it, "What are we doing today?" I went to a delicious dessert shop, and across the road was a park, where many people organized family picnics, and many adults and children were playing."

"When I get back to Maohua, I also want to take Xiaojun on a spring outing. If I don't go, it will be summer."

"Good."

Ren Mingyao asked, "Take me?"

Cheng Shi laughed, "Take it."

**

The next day, he took the dog for a medical checkup and vaccination, and he received a lot of attention from friends. Guan Tong also took out all the pet supplies at home to give him, "My brother also raised cats before, and these have been kept for many years. I’m not willing to throw it away after I’ve finished it. Keep it as it is, let’s use it for colored pencils.”

From the medical records, this lucky little guy who is just over two months old officially has his own name.With the intention of raising another son, Cheng Shi bought a lot of things online and sent them back home. When he saw the agency's WeChat, he remembered that he hadn't replied yet.

[I'm sorry, I don't have to find a new place for the time being, thank you for your hard work]

Ren Mingyao finished the series he was in charge of ahead of time, and he could go home after handing over to the screenwriter who came later.But there was still time, and there was nothing important to do after returning home, so I asked him if he wanted to go to the park for a spring outing and picnic that he had mentioned, and play for a day before leaving.

Cheng Shi: "Ah? What park?"

Ren Mingyao: "..."

He was about to fall asleep when he was talking, and it was an empty chatter. After he finished speaking, he didn't take it to heart, but Ren Mingyao was still thinking about it.Cheng Shi happily agreed, and temporarily went to 711 to buy a lot of food and drink, brought dog food with colored pencils, spread picnic cloths on the grass, and the three of them came to bask in the sun.

Cheng Xiaojun was very interested in the traction rope on the colored lead, thinking it was some kind of novel clothes, and tried to put it on himself in the morning.Cheng Shi spent a lot of effort explaining the difference between humans and dogs, and that serious babies don't wear this, so he reluctantly agreed to wear his usual clothes.

The weather is fine today, and picnic cloths are blooming everywhere on the originally empty lawn, and the families are laughing and laughing.Cheng Shi looked at the big and small people and dogs around him, and suddenly felt that he was also a serious family of four.

If life is such a stable and warm daily life, there is nothing more to ask for.

In the next second, Cheng Xiaojun took the rope of colored pencils and ran in circles on the grass, and began to walk Ren Mingyao.

Cheng Zhi: "..."

Ren Mingyao had big strides, he accommodated the two smaller ones in front and pretended to catch up, but it didn't take much effort.He watched but couldn't stop laughing, took a deep breath for a while, and his lungs were unobstructed.

The screen of the mobile phone placed on the picnic cloth suddenly lit up.

[Teacher Chengshi, are you in Maohua now?Do you have time to come out and meet? 】

[I heard that there is a newly opened coffee shop in the World Trade Center, which is quite good. I would like to treat you to a cup of coffee duck]

Cheng Shi smiled and picked it up to look at it. He was a little surprised, but he replied quickly.

【Sorry, I'm not in Maohua right now】

[Is there something wrong?About the copyright of my work? 】

[It's all right, don't worry, the copyright process is going smoothly]

【Then we will make an appointment when you come back in a few days~】

The tone on the other side was normal, so it shouldn't be a big deal.Cheng Shi put down his phone and lay down on the lawn, the grass sprouts under his palms were throbbing and itchy.

He has been serializing for several years and has never met the editor who is in charge of him. He thought that it would be good to meet him, and his life would be richer if he had more friends.The contract is about to expire, and he should get out of his own small world and get in touch with the bigger world in the future.

Spring is so magical.It makes people feel that anything is possible and that there is hope for anything.

He will get better and better, leaving his gray self far behind.He really hoped that the whole world could forget the past Cheng Shi.Cheng Shi thought absurdly, if he and Ren Mingyao didn't know each other when they were young, it would be fine if they met for the first time this year.

It would be great if Ren Mingyao only saw that he was very powerful.

Cheng Xiaojun came back to rest when he was tired after running for a while. Cheng Shi's cranky thoughts were interrupted, and he opened the juice to quench his thirst.Colored lead's dog food has been soaked in milk powder, and it is delicious to eat next to it.

"After a while, when the serialization at hand is over, I want to find a chance to go back to my hometown again."

He opened the sandwich and handed it to Ren Mingyao, "Xiaojun will be three years old by the end of the year, so you must prepare well for kindergarten."

Cheng Xiaojun only plays with people he is familiar with. He took him to walk downstairs in the community or in the park today. He met many children of the same age, but they all showed difficulty in fitting in.

Such a pity.He still wants to go to kindergarten. He hopes that Cheng Xiaojun can make many kind friends. Then he will bake a lot of small biscuits and bring them to school for Xiaojun to eat with his friends, so that he can have a good time.

"Jingyue has a package, I don't know what the conditions are."

Ren Mingyao answered, "I also have a few classmates who got married after graduating from college. Now that their children are in kindergarten, I will ask them what materials they need."

"Row."

Cheng Shi watched him finish the sandwich with a few mouthfuls, and just after drinking the mineral water to let him breathe, he was entangled by two crazy little guys again, and one person and one dog jumped on him.

Ren Mingyao simply lay down on the grass, letting Cheng Xiaojun ride on his waist and play on him.

Cheng Shi held his face and smiled, looked at it for a while, and took out a tablet to draw a few sketches.Occasionally, when Cheng Xiaojun's feet are about to greet him, he helps out, "Why don't I remember that you are so good at arguing with children?"

Ren Mingyao sighed pretendingly, "If you don't, you will have to."

Cheng Shi was startled.

The tactile feeling of being covered with fluffy grass seems to have been transferred to the heart.

When Ying Yun said to help him take care of Xiaojun, he felt that it was because young people didn't know how to feel sad.But when the same meaning was expressed from Ren Mingyao's mouth, I felt...

The family traveling next to them observed their strange combination for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking curiously, "Are you a family?"

Ren Mingyao just smiled, glanced at him, and said nothing.

This look seemed to contain unspeakable forbearance and grievance.Cheng Shi's heart trembled when he was watched. He pursed his lips and grinded his teeth. He finally made up his mind. Just as he was about to say something, he heard his voice slightly raised, "I remember now."

"……what?"

"That night. When I brought the colored pencils back to the hotel, I said I would buy you flowers and apologize."

No wonder I always feel like I'm forgetting something.Ren Mingyao suddenly said, "I forgot to buy you flowers."

There's really no need to apologize...

It becomes difficult to speak when the timing is missed.Cheng Shi's throat slipped, he paused, and finally said helplessly, "So, I suddenly remembered that I also said a few days ago that I will buy you flowers when you come home."

"Then order two bundles and send them home." Ren Mingyao said, "I can see them when I get home tomorrow. I don't have to worry about taking them back."

Cheng Shi felt sorry for the things, if he bought them now and put them in the hotel, he could only look at them for a day, and it would be too troublesome to take them home, and he would probably be reluctant to throw them away.

Guantong and Yingying both came to send off the plane.Ying YouQi was reluctant to let go, and played pitifully in front of Ren MingYao, "Brother Xiao Zhi, can I really not kiss you? I don't know when we will meet next time."

Cheng Shi was a little embarrassed, but he still put the child in his arms on the suitcase, "You can hug it."

"Great!"

"..."

Ren Mingyao pushed the suitcase forward expressionlessly, "It's almost done. I'm in a hurry."

Cheng Xiaojun sat on the box and slid forward for a while, "Wuhu" opened his little hand and separated the two hugging people, "I still want to push. Do it again."

In dissatisfaction, Yingyue yelled "One more time", but he hadn't hugged enough.

Cheng Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said goodbye to his friend reluctantly before boarding the plane.

"Xiaoyun is still a child, don't be angry with him."

Ren Mingyao didn't say a word on the plane, obviously he had an opinion.Cheng Shi didn't want his friend to be rejected, so he explained, "He actually has a very good personality."

"I can hug you if I have a good personality?"

Ren Mingyao was upset when he heard the name.If it hadn't been for the kid's long-term abduction, Cheng Shi might not have traveled all the way to Minghai without telling him - although he did meet Cheng Shi many days in advance because of this, it was not enough to offset the reason for agreeing to the abduction.

"It's not like that..."

"What do you say?"

Ren Mingyao said bluntly, "He said he likes you, right? What do you say?"

"I said let him study hard."

"..."

Ren Mingyao was speechless for a moment, calmed down and realized that his tone was too aggressive, and apologized in a low voice.

I have no right to be angry.What position is there to be angry?

Cheng Shi shook his head, didn't care, and was still thinking about what he didn't finish the day before.

He couldn't find the right time, and felt that it was not the right time to speak.After thinking about it like this, he didn't make a sound in the second half.

Ren Mingyao was afraid that he would keep silent.Every time I do this, I feel like I’m holding back some big moves. I’m worried all the way. When I take a taxi, my face is so serious that the driver is stunned. Afraid of getting involved in some troubles, I hesitate to accept the order.

Finally returned home smoothly.Ren Mingyao opened the door first and came in. Instead of picking up the child, he turned around and squatted down to change his shoes.When he went out this morning, he mentioned that the high-top shoelaces were too difficult to untie.

The one-knee squat pose is a lot like a marriage proposal.Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment, didn't stop him, and was even a little distracted, staring at his thick black hair, wondering why this man was not bald at all after staying up late every day, "Ren Mingyao."

The first time Ren Mingyao was called by name, he suddenly felt that his next sentence was "I can't move away", so he didn't dare to look up, "Huh?"

"Let's try it." Cheng Shi said.

He suddenly felt that as long as he opened his mouth, it would be fine.As long as you speak, sooner or later, no matter when is the right time.

He didn't dare to think about what would happen in the future.He is like this, as long as he thinks about it, he will go in the most pessimistic direction.It's better not to think about it, just care about the present moment.

If you don't mind working hard, I'm not afraid either.

Just try it.

Ren Mingyao froze all his movements, and then he raised his eyes to look at him, showing a nearly stunned expression, "...what did you say?"

"..."

Cheng Shi took a deep breath and repeated earnestly, "I said, let's try."

The author has something to say:

Come to Liao!

This is not sweet?

Can't finish writing at night

Tomorrow at noon
