My straight man has a longer reflex arc

Chapter 18 Cohabitation

The next day, the family was sick and injured and didn't go to school. The two of them had troubles every day, and Cheng Yang was also worried.

After cooking a meal for the two of them in the morning, Cheng Yang went to school alone.

When he came back in the evening, Cheng Xiaoye was wrapping his feet in a blanket and curling up at the table doing a question. Cheng Yang asked, "Where's Xiao Yue?"

"It's still sealed on the bed." Cheng Xiaoye didn't raise his head, and could hear in his tone that he was still resisting Xiao Yue's sudden move.

Cheng Yang opened the door and went into the bedroom to look, and saw Xiao Yue was packing his things on the carpet with his legs crossed.

The bedroom was full of clothes and daily necessities that he had spilled out of the suitcase.

Cheng Yang hated iron but said: "If you don't know how to clean up, don't mess around. I see you messed with my bedroom."

Xiao Yue turned his head and smiled, like a newly married little daughter-in-law full of daydreams about the future: "From now on, this is the bedroom of the two of us, of course I have to tidy it up together."

Cheng Yang closed the half-open closet, and saw that the closet was full of Xiao Yue's messy clothes, he shook his head: "Don't squeeze summer clothes with autumn clothes..." He helped pick out the clothes and hung them in the closet next door .

He sighed: "Let me do it, you fold all the clothes you don't wear first."

The two were packing together, Cheng Yang saw that there was still a photo album in the suitcase, and he had never seen Xiao Yue's family and friends, so he looked through it curiously.

There are only three photos in the album, and Cheng Yang has never seen any of them.

"Who are these?" Cheng Yang asked.

Xiao Yue was struggling with how to fold the clothes in his hand so that he looked at the photo: "Oh, that one is a photo of our family, on it are my parents and grandpa, I was in the first year of junior high school. The other one is When I was a child, this photo was the only one I took in China when I was a child, so I kept it all the time.”

Cheng Yang looked at this photo of Xiao Yue when he was a child, and frowned in thought. He thought and thought, and asked, "Did we see each other when we were young?"

Xiao Yue smiled, he stopped his hands and stared at him: "You finally remembered?"

"Remember what?"

"It was when I was in the third grade..." Xiao Yue opened his mouth to say with a smile, but suddenly stopped again, the transition from high spirits to dullness was so fast.

Cheng Yang asked suspiciously, "What third grade? What happened in third grade?"

Xiao Yue curled his lips: "Forget it, you never remember, and it doesn't make sense for me to say it."

During dinner, Xiao Yue answered the phone, replied a few words in a violent tone, and then hung up.

Back at the dinner table, Cheng Yang asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Yue turned off his mobile phone, thinking while picking up vegetables: "Go and change the number tomorrow."

Cheng Xiaoye said: "You, a rich second generation who is suddenly impoverished, have you been chased for debt?"

Xiao Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I have someone to support me."

"Who raised you?"

"Your brother. You see, I have a deep relationship with your brother, and we are a perfect match..."

Cheng Xiaoye interrupted him with a snort: "My brother is someone who can apply for a scholarship with his transcript, and you are a person who can apply for disability insurance with his transcript. What match do you two have?"

When Xiao Yue heard this, he didn't feel ashamed, instead he felt proud: "Isn't this worthy? It's more appropriate to complement each other."

"In short, my brother can only support me, not you." Cheng Xiaoye glared at him.

Cheng Yang ate with his head down, expressing his helplessness at the two people's lip service.

At this time, there was a knock on the door behind him, and he got up to open it.

Not many people knew the address of their rented house, so Cheng Yang thought it was Li Li who came.

But when he opened the door, there was a strange girl standing outside, with bright clothes, brown hair tied into a bun, and a pair of expensive and dazzling sunglasses on her palm-sized face.

The corner of the girl's lips curled up, and she lowered her head and lowered her sunglasses to glance through the crack of the door. Only then did Cheng Yang see that her eyebrows and eyes were much more distinct than those of Asians, and her eyelashes were also extraordinarily thick.

"Hi, is Ethan there?" she asked.

"Ethan?" Cheng Yang shook his head and replied, "You may have found the wrong one."

While taking off her sunglasses, the girl reached out and pushed the door open: "Impossible, he must be here."

She was very happy when she saw Xiao Yue who was eating in the living room, and immediately said with a bright voice: "Hey! So you are here too!"

Xiao Yue turned around while chewing a large piece of chicken leg meat, and when he saw that it was Mo Lin, he immediately had an expression on his face as if chewing wax.

Seeing Mo Lin walking in directly, Xiao Yue said: "This is someone else's house, why don't you come in yourself?"

"Sorry!" Mo Lin smiled, but still didn't mean to quit: "I'm here to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"My brother Ethan, oh! By the way, his Chinese name is Xiao Yue!"

Xiao Yue was choked directly, he quickly lowered his head to drink, then raised his face, already indifferent.

No wonder I felt inexplicably unpleasant when I saw Mo Lin for the first time. My feeling was that she looked like my stepmother.

"Ethan? You still have a foreign name and a foreign sister?" Cheng Xiaoye pointed to Xiao Yue to show Mo Lin: "His name is Xiao Yue."

Xiao Yue supported his head and touched the bandage on his head, his head was getting bigger.

"Xiao Yue, your sister has found you, this time someone has raised you." Cheng Xiaoye took a sip of water, left the table and sat on the sofa, with an expression of waiting to watch a show.

Mo Lin's eyes widened immediately: "It's sincredible! So you are my brother! Brother, what's wrong with your head?"

Xiao Yue opened his mouth and pushed people away: "Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"

"You really hurt me like this. Dad asked me to come to you. He wanted us to get along with each other. Don't let our family relationship be so rigid."

"He already knew that today would be so stiff. Didn't he marry your mother?"

"Dad, he misses you very much. He asked me to come and see you."

"Is the screw loose in your father's mind? Let my stepmother's daughter come to see me."

"Brother, don't say that about Dad."

Seeing that the two of them were stiff, Cheng Yang hurriedly went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water and handed it to Mo Lin: "Sit down and chat first."

Mo Lin's attitude was not as cold as Xiao Yue's, she happily sat down next to Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue glanced at her: "Go to the side."

"I do not."

Xiao Yue threw down the bowl: "Who told you about my place?"

"I can't meet you when I go to your original house. Your uncle told me that you moved. It turned out that my brother saved me that day. It's really... such a situation, what do you say?" Mo Lin thought for a while, He smiled and said, "By the way, there is no coincidence without a book! One family enters one house!"

Cheng Xiaoye on the side said to Xiao Yue: "Your foreign sister speaks good Chinese."

"Her mother's ex was also Chinese."

Mo Lin looked at the living room of less than fifteen square meters with a limited number of small hanging bags, and couldn't help frowning: "Brother, this house is too old, you see, this small refrigerator has already crowded the living room, it's too small , I bought a house near the school, will you live with me?"

Xiao Yue looked at Cheng Yang this time, and said: "A daughter is like a mother, now you know why I hate my stepmother?"

Cheng Yang didn't speak, while Cheng Xiaoye rolled his eyelids and gave Mo Lin a blank look: "My character is twisted like a crooked black pine tree in a bonsai."

Hearing this, Mo Lin glanced at Cheng Xiaoye and Cheng Yang, then remembered to ask Xiao Yue: "Who are they?"

Xiao Yue said: "What's none of your business? We still have something to do when you leave."

"How can you live here, come back with me, or we go back to the United States..."

"Back to what? You want me to say something before you leave? You are harder to get rid of than your mother, aren't you?"

Mo Lin was anxious, and stepped forward: "How can you say that about Mom? Next month, Dad will come to China to visit you. Dad said, if you bully me, let me tell him."

Mo Lin thought Xiao Yue would buy it, but in fact Xiao He couldn't scare Xiao Yue at all.

Xiao Yue smiled, straightened his back, slowly stood up from the sofa, suddenly grabbed her with both hands, grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her out of the door.

Mo Lin, who had just stood firm, turned around in surprise, and a loud door slam was sent to his face.

Xiao Yue in the room turned around and walked back to the sofa, Cheng Xiaoye gave him a few applause with a blank face: "Promote righteousness and promote harmony."

Cheng Yang hurriedly told Cheng Xiaoye to stop making a fuss, and said to Xiao Yue: "After all, she is your sister in name, will you hurt others too much?"

"She always pesters me, and it hurts me." As soon as the Mo Lin people left, Xiao Yue returned to his greasy face, grinning and winking at Cheng Yang: "Yangyang, do you have the heart to get me hurt?" ?”

Cheng Ono almost vomited.

Afterwards, as Xiao Yue said, since Mo Lin knew Xiao Yue was his elder brother, he often took the initiative to find him.

Xiao Yue simply didn't go to school for a week in order to keep out of sight.

That night, when Cheng Yang came back, Xiao Yue was lying on the sofa with his laptop in his arms and watching videos.

Cheng Yang put down his bag and went to make dinner. While the rice was burning on the pot, he sat down at the table, glanced at Xiao Yue's computer while flipping through the book, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"A gay literary film in Taiwan." Xiao Yue watched it with gusto.

"You see this?"

"Haven't you seen this kind of movie?"

"I've only seen one, by Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung."

"Then why don't you come and watch a new movie with me? This one is very good." Xiao Yue prepared to bring the other party over to feel the basic feelings together, waiting for the opportunity to subtly influence him psychologically, and to test on the edge of the forbidden line.

But Cheng Yang behind him didn't respond, Xiao Yue turned his head to look and found that he was taking notes on the book.

Xiao Yue made fun of himself, and said unwillingly: "What are you doing?"

"Ono is about to take the exam, and I'm helping him make notes on solving the problem."

"Come watch a movie with me before doing it?"

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Yang asked casually.

"It's about a man who loves another man unrequitedly. No matter how much this man chases after that man, he can't impress him. Later, that man gets engaged, and this man is about to collapse."

"This kind of plot is quite old-fashioned in a romantic movie between men and women."

"Watching movies is sometimes not just moved by the plot, but watching life, old-fashioned and real life."

Xiao Yue felt a rare feeling.

He turned his head to Cheng Yang, who was immersed in the notebook, and said, "I like the end of the movie best, when this man speaks a line to that man."

"What line?" Cheng Yang asked "taking time out of his busy schedule".

"I'm already in hell, I didn't want to drag you down, but I fell into hell because of you, why can't you look back at me before I'm about to be destroyed?"

Cheng Yang's pen stopped for a while. Although Xiao Yue's expression was old-fashioned, he was still moved by this sad and hopeless line, and asked: "Then what is their ending?"

"Because that man resolutely married a woman, and in the end the unrequited love couldn't see life, so he committed suicide."

Cheng Yang sighed as a response, and continued to solve the second question.

When the problem was solved and the rice was almost done, he closed the book and got up and said, "By the way, Grandpa celebrates his birthday on the weekend, and Ono and I will take the car back early tomorrow. I think you are bored at home alone and may not live for a few days." , do you want to go with us?"

Xiao Yue stayed at home for a week and was bored all day long, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "That's good, I haven't visited our grandpa for a long time, our parents probably miss me too."

"You're so thick-skinned, those are my parents."

So the next Saturday, the three of them went to City A by car.

Cheng Yang's family has strict rules and regulations, the family is happy, grandparents are still alive, and parents are loving.

Mr. Cheng is a veteran, with a serious and upright attitude. Grandma plays Tai Chi when he has nothing to do, grandpa plays chess when he has nothing to do, father works in a state-owned enterprise, and mother teaches in a middle school.

Cheng Yang grew up in such an environment, his three views are very positive, and his character is very good.

Xiao Yue also met with Cheng's elders a few times, he was casually active and had a personality, which also made Mr. Cheng like it.

This time rushing to celebrate his birthday to start a family, Xiao Yue also specially bought a box of old-age health products for Mr. Cheng.

When the three of them entered the house, Cheng Yang tidied up and went into the kitchen to help his mother and grandma cook. Cheng Xiaoye also went into the room to type.

Old Master Cheng drank tea and chatted with Father Cheng and Xiao Yue in the living room.

Cheng Laozi found that Xiaoyue, the younger generation, really knows a lot of things, economics, current affairs, history and politics, he can talk about whatever you talk about.Especially his favorite storytelling, this kid is really good at learning.

Xiao Yue came here to curry favor with his future mother-in-law and family. He chatted with Mr. Cheng to persuade him to completely forget himself, sweet talk, such as blessings, prosperity, longevity, wealth, getting stronger with age, living more wonderfully, and choosing nice things to say.As for the fragment of Shan Tianfang's storytelling, of course it was prepared in advance.

Mr. Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "You just don't use your intelligence in your studies. Everything else is fine. However, it's okay if you don't study well. I didn't study back then, so I lived a vigorous life. Now I'm in my old age? Study, It doesn't decide whether this person is smart or not. I think your kid is smart. You are smart and cunning. You are smarter than my family Yangyang. My family Yangyang is kind and soft-hearted. If this person is kind and soft-hearted, no matter how smart he is, he will become stupid. "

Xiao Yue smiled: "It's okay for Cheng Yang to be stupid, anyway, I will take care of him."

Mr. Cheng chuckled twice, slid down a little into the sofa chair, and said slowly: "But then again, you can rely on a second degree for studying, and you must always be the first person to be a person. You see, I am not educated. I am old and old. Old-fashioned, but if I have problems with my life, I won’t be able to teach my children and grandchildren well. How can I enjoy my old age now? I’ve already become a stinking beggar with no education and no one to support me.”

Father Cheng also laughed when he heard this, and hurriedly refilled a cup of tea for his father and handed it over: "Why did you pick me up?"

Cheng Laozi shook his head: "I didn't mention you, you are filial, but you can forget things better than me. I was talking about horn and wooden chess. Look, you bought me a small stereo this time."

Cheng's father smiled helplessly: "Dad, that's a Sony portable stereo. Don't you and my mother often go to do Tai Chi? It's just right to use this!"

After hearing this, Mr. Cheng felt much better. He took a sip of tea and said, "Go, see how Yangyang and the others are doing in the kitchen?"

Dad Cheng didn't dare to disobey, so he quickly got up and went to the kitchen.

As soon as Xiao Yue saw people leaving, he leaned close to Old Master Cheng and whispered: "Grandpa, I also prepared a gift for you, follow me."

Old Man Cheng was quite pleasantly surprised, "Oh?", and slowly followed Xiao Yue to his feet.

I saw Xiao Yue holding the box of health care products for the elderly, avoiding the sight of the kitchen, and quietly entered the bedroom.
