Chapter 20

==

7:[-], breakfast time is on time, Cheng Ya cooked a big breakfast today, because Jin Chu is going back to school, and because Zhao Junyang is on the table, this meal is the same as every meal at home, especially silent, Zhao Zhichuan I don't know how many times I watched Jin Chu during a meal.

Cheng Ya was very satisfied with the state of her two sons recently. She saw Zhao Zhichuan looking at Jin Chu frequently, so she asked, "Xiaochuan, why have you been looking at your brother today? Do you have something to say?"

Zhao Zhichuan was arrested, and his face felt awkward, "Who looked at him."

Cheng Ya smiled and said, "This child..."

Zhao Junyang put down his chopsticks, turned to Jin Chu and said, "Talk to your mother if you need anything. Both your uncle and your mother are your family."

Jin Chu didn't understand Zhao Junyang's sudden concern. In the past two years, they had never talked about family members. Jin Chu felt a little emotional for a while, "Thank you uncle."

Zhao Zhichuan was uncharacteristically silent, Zhao Junyang told Cheng Ya to prepare everything Jin Chu needed, went back upstairs and changed a set of clothes, and then went downstairs again, the driver Uncle Lin was already waiting outside.

Cheng Ya is very happy these days, she went out to the mall yesterday and bought a lot of clothes for Jin Chu and Zhao Zhichuan, and the atmosphere at home is also very good these days, although Zhao Zhichuan didn't say anything, But he finally accepted Jin Chu in his heart, and Zhao Junyang seemed to start to treat Jin Chu as a family member, not a poor homeless child.

For Jin Chu, all this came a little too soon. The high wall he built had already blocked himself from going out, and also blocked others from coming in. He didn't decide whether to open a door or not.

After breakfast, Jin Chu started to pack his things. When he came back, he brought reference books and other materials, and only two sets of clothes for the rest. When Cheng Ya came to his room with a suitcase, Jin Chu was a little surprised.

It was the first time that Jin Chu felt Cheng Ya's existence as a mother. When he transferred to No. [-] Middle School, Cheng Ya didn't pack these things for him in person. He reached out to take the box.

Cheng Ya said, "Here are some snacks and a few sets of clothes I bought for you. Don't be reluctant to spend money to go to school. You should also pay attention to your health when you study. Health is the most important thing. Just call me and tell me what you need."

Jin Chu was not very good at getting along with Cheng Ya like this, so he nodded "Yes" and "Okay" and responded to Cheng Ya's concern.

Cheng Ya explained the trivial matters, and suddenly said, "I'm really happy to see you and Xiao Chuan get along better these days, Xiao Chu, these years have caused you to suffer."

Jin Chu looked at Cheng Ya's eyes that were the same as his own, and was a little embarrassed that he couldn't adapt to such a warm scene for a while.

"It's okay, I'm fine. Aren't you busy with other things? Go and do it. I'll clean up here."

Cheng Ya probably wasn't too familiar with getting along with Jin Chu like this, so she explained a few more words and went downstairs.

Sitting on the sofa, Jin Chu looked at the suitcase full of things, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was already 9 o'clock, and sent Qin Mufeng a WeChat message, "Is it packed?"

The holy monk said "well". "Come over together?"

The holy monk said, "Okay."

Jin Chu went downstairs to find Cheng Ya and told her to go back with her classmates. Cheng Ya agreed and asked them to wait at the door. Uncle Lin would be there in 2 minutes.

Then when passing by Zhao Zhichuan's room, Jin Chu knocked on the door anyway.

Zhao Zhichuan still had a stinky face, and when he saw Jin Chu coming, he silently moved out of the way to let Jin Chu in, and then he turned around and sat beside the desk.

Jin Chu stood beside him and said, "I'll be leaving later."

Zhao Zhichuan didn't even give him a look, "Let's just go."

Jin Chu ignored him, and then said, "Well, then I'm leaving."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door. Zhao Zhichuan's hand holding the pen became tighter and tighter. When Jin Chu put his hand on the doorknob, he finally turned his head and glanced at Jin Chu, and then asked, "Do you want to take the test in City A?"

Jin Chu turned and looked at him, "Maybe."

Zhao Zhichuan was silent for a while, and said "I see." Then he turned and went to do his homework.

Jin Chu saw that the child really didn't want to talk to him this time, so he went upstairs. The room was still the same as when he came back. When he went out with the suitcase, Uncle Lin was already waiting at the door. Cheng Ya took Jin Chu and explained again. After a while, Qin Mufeng walked over with a backpack on his back as if stepping on a spot.

Although she still had no expression on her face, she still obediently said "Hello, Auntie" after seeing Cheng Ya.

Jin Chu also talked about the relationship between the two, and Cheng Ya felt very happy that Jin Chu could have a good friend, and this friend was the neighbor's son. , Presumably this child's tutoring is not too bad in all aspects.

Uncle Lin sent the two of them to the station and returned to Zhao Junyang's company.

The 10 o'clock ticket, the two started to check the tickets as soon as they arrived. Qin Mufeng looked at Jin Chu's suitcase and asked casually, "What's in it?"

"food."

"Auntie is so kind to you."

Jin Chu smiled and said, "Have half for you."

Qin Mufeng said bluntly, "Thank you."

Perhaps because of Qin Mufeng's presence, Jin Chu felt that the return journey was not so difficult, and even the unpleasant smell on the bus could be ignored. He stuffed Qin Mufeng's scarf in his bag, but because Qin Mufeng was by his side, he felt The entire seat was enveloped by Qin Mufeng's aura.

Once people sit around doing nothing, they tend to get sleepy, and there are people they trust by their side, and then Jin Chu fell asleep. There was a certain singer's lyric song MV in the bus, and most of the people were drowsy.

Qin Mufeng looked at Jin Chu's defenseless face, and because his neck was tilted back, he couldn't help but look at that fair neck, and further up was Jin Chu's unmarked and vermilion lips .

He turned his head to the other side, forcing himself to look away, but the person who was leaning on the back of the chair, who was motionless, suddenly slid towards Qin Mufeng, and Jin Chu's head was just resting on his shoulder.

Qin Mufeng's body was a little stiff, but he didn't dodge. The bus was driving smoothly on the highway. Jin Chu slept soundly this time. When he opened his eyes, he was almost at the service area for the rest. Qin Mufeng closed his eyes, Sitting very well, Jin Chu gently removed his head from Qin Mufeng's shoulder.

He was a little embarrassed, secretly looked at Qin Mufeng, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Qin Mufeng just closed his eyes for a while, and he could feel Jin Chu looking at him, so he continued to doze calmly. After a while, the driver's voice came, "The service area is here, rest for half an hour, and it's time for dinner." Hurry up to the bathroom."

Jin Chuyao woke up Qin Mufeng. There was nothing to eat in the service area, so the two went down for a walk and decided to go to Guancheng to find something to eat.

When we arrived in Guancheng, just after 6 o'clock, Qin Mufeng did not go home first, but followed Jin Chu back to the rental house. Qin Mufeng took Jin Chu's box after getting off the car. Although he only left for a few days, the rental house There was already a smell of dust, it was deserted, and Xu Yong who was next to him hadn't come back yet.

Qin Mufeng put the box by the table, pulled out the chair and sat down, while Jin Chu sat on the bed.

Both of them smelled bad, and the smell in the car didn't dissipate after coming out. Jin Chu asked Qin Mufeng, "Do you want to take a bath here first? We'll go out to eat after washing."

Qin Mufeng wanted to say, I'll go back to wash after eating, but when he saw Jin Chu sitting on the bed, he began to sniff his neckline and ask, with disgust on his face, so he said, "Okay."

"Do you have any clothes in your bag? If not, just wear mine."

"There is a set."

After both of them had washed and changed their clothes, the color had already darkened. Qin Mufeng stuffed the dirty clothes into his backpack, and the two went to Pao Niang's place together. Pao Niang cooked two dishes for them. Jin Chu found out that Pao Niang It seems that she is the only one, and the store has been open for the past few days during the Chinese New Year, and there are no other family members at home.

After eating, Qin Mufeng told Jin Chu that Pao Niang had always been alone, had never been married, and had no relatives. I heard that she used to be a student in No. [-] Middle School. After going to school, she stayed outside to work, but not long after. In [-], she came back and opened this kimchi shop here, and never went out again.

Jin Chu saw that Qin Mufeng wanted to send him back home, so he asked him, "Mufeng, are you still going back?"

Qin Mufeng said, "It's too dark, I'll take you back first."

Jin Chu: "No, you go back quickly, your grandma will be worried if it's too late."

"Tell her to come later."

"Then hurry back, I'll be there soon."

"That's fine."

The two separated at the intersection. The weather in Guancheng has been fine these days, and the night is not as cold as before, but the street is still deserted. After returning to the rental house, Jin Chu changed the bed sheet and quilt cover, and then went to the bathroom to wash up. Lie on the bed and prepare to rest.

He picked up his mobile phone and was about to send a message to Qin Mufeng, when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't called Cheng Ya to report his safety.

The phone over there rang twice before being connected, "Xiao Chu, are you here?"

Jin Chu: "Well, here we are. I just went out to eat something and I'm going to rest."

There seemed to be the sound of TV on Cheng Ya's side, and she said, "It's good when we arrive, let's go to bed early."

After hanging up the phone, he saw Qin Mufeng's WeChat message "arrived.". "Okay, good night."

Holy Monk "Good night."
