Chapter 136: Feeding the dog, arguing, and eight o'clock appointments.

Xiaochi Chi is dreaming again, probably because of his injury.

In the dream, he and Ying Lou are feeding the dog on the east corner of the silo.

Xiaochi Chi slurped on a half-salt water ice lolly in her mouth, holding Ying Lou's bowl of beef sticks that she had made in the afternoon, tossed with hot rice.

The little yellow dog enjoyed the hearty meal and ate it hot.

Xiaochi Chi took the opportunity to call it, "Dog meat."

The dog gave a busy owl.

Xiaochi Chi turned to Ying Lou and said, "Look, he's happy I called him dog meat."

Ying Lou looked at the half grown teenager rather helplessly: "It's because you feed it something. You call it buried, it also ......"

As if he heard someone calling his name, the dog meat barked smoothly, "Ow."

Xiaochi Chi: "Wow, so heartless. No more food."

He made a gesture to snatch the bowl away, the dog sensed the bad, put his face in the bowl, and then chewed a few mouthfuls.

Xiaochi Chi was just playing with him, lifting the bowl and tilting it towards him so that the blind little yellow dog could eat more easily and smoothly.

He holds this pose and smiles at Ying Lou with narrowed eyes.

But behind Ying Lou, an even taller figure unexpectedly appeared, almost swallowing Ying Lou whole.

The man's face was not very clear due to the backlight, but his tone was quite gentle: " Chi Xiao, feeding the dog again."

Xiaochi Chi stood up holding the bowl and glanced at Ying Lou with great speed , as if he had done something wrong: "...... Teacher Zhu."

He was called Zhu teacher about 40 to 50 years old, tall, elegant appearance, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, carrying some cheap daily necessities in his hand.

He was unusually gentle with Xiaochi Chi: "What time do you want to come this afternoon? Or the usual time?"

Xiaochi Chi tried to be as concise as possible: "Well, three points."

Mr. Zhu said, "Don't forget to bring your math book for the second year of junior high. Today we are talking about functions."

Xiaochi Chi : "Hmm."

After Mr. Zhu left, Ying Lou watched his back for a long time with a slight frown on his face.

Xiaochi Chi nervous fingers itch, the back of his hand rubbed the seam of his shorts, simply do not look at Ying Lou, squatting down, holding the bowl to continue to feed the dog meat.

After a long time, he finally heard Ying Lou's voice: "Are you tutoring with him now?"

Xiaochi Chi gave a numb "ah".

Ying Lou looked at his nervous little appearance, reached out and rubbed his hair.

After waiting for half a day, and finding that Ying Lou did not seem to have the intention to go deeper, Xiaochi Chi sat back a bit: "...... how do you not ask ah."

Ying Lou : "Ask what?"

"My parents are the ones who told me to make up at Mr. Zhu's house. ...... They won't let me look for you." Xiaochi Chi was really weak-hearted, and his toes tapped on the baked, soft yellow clay soil.

He was just about to say, "It's okay, I won't listen to them," when Ying Lou cut him off.

"I know, is it because of the incident with the tape recorder the other day?" Ying Lou curled her lips, "If it was that incident, it was indeed me who did something wrong."

Xiaochi Chi clanked down the bowl.

Dog meat scared to stop chewing, glass-like eyes turned bewildered, can not see what happened to their two food masters, only in place wagging a bald tail, found that the bowl was not carried away, before following the fragrance, carefully continue to lick the bottom of the bowl with beef flavored rice grains.

Ying Lou looked at Xiaochi Chi, who was playing with her temper, and felt amused and soft.

He has always treated this child as a younger brother.

He said, "Feed it well, don't scare the buried."

Xiaochi Chi was not happy: "No more feeding."

Without waiting for Ying Lou to say anything else, Xiaochi Chi got excited first: "...... Who are they?"

The other day, something happened to Ying Lou.

He had a good relationship with Mr. Huang, the owner of the nearby junkyard, who would bring some electronic products to Ying Lou for repair when he collected the junk. The TVs in Mr. Huang's house and the red and white machines his son plays with are all second-hand goods that Ying Lou has fixed. Of course, he didn't let Ying Lou fix them for nothing. Once he had something he didn't need, he would give it to Ying Lou.

Mr. Huang opened a small store selling second-hand electrical appliances, which are repaired by the hands of Ying Lou semiconductors, small game consoles, hair dryers, electric fans, heaters, speakers, MP3, etc., all the things needed to repair by Mr. Huang to provide, the money earned by the two men to share thirty-seven.

Ying Lou is a mechanical hobbyist, in order to practice, the second also has a selfish intention. He had to have some financial resources of his own, so as not to add trouble to his sister-in-law's family.

He has always spent money with restraint, and with the wages from his part-time jobs in pet stores and hardware stores, as well as the various side businesses he has developed privately, he has accumulated assets on his books that surpass even some middle-aged people in the silos.

It is because he has his own little coffers that he is able to take Xiaochi Chi out more often so that he can eat two cones at a time.

However, half a month ago, Ying Lou placed a newly repaired semiconductor on the windowsill, which attracted the attention of Aunt Chu, who lived in the same silo.

...... That's the semiconductor she threw away a month ago.

I don't know if she forgot that she threw things away, or if she was angry with Ying Lou for making money from the things she threw away, but she claimed that Ying Lou was a good girl, but she would steal things from other people's homes to sell them for money.

Of course, she also said thoughtfully, Ying Lou this child grew up without a father and mother, no family to teach, love to take other people's things, but also quite normal.

When the rumors spread, it caused a lot of trouble for Ying Lou.

Ying Lou's sister-in-law is always on the go to make ends meet for her family, and Ying Lou is a trouble-free child, so she is always at ease with her nephew.

However, the side effect of "peace of mind" is a lack of understanding.

After a fight with her husband, she went to Ying Lou and asked him to go find and throw out all the things he had "made up" and not to take other people's things in the future.

Ying Lou only returned the semiconductors without an apology, along with a receipt written to him by Mr. Huang, proving that it was scrap from the scrapyard.

His character has always been gentle and flat, and he had no intention of making a fool of Aunt Chu in public, but only hinted to her with the receipt that she had discarded the item herself and asked her to watch her wording.

Aunt Chu, however, was angered by this, and the gossip about Ying Lou spread even more vigorously.

The rumors of Ying Lou's theft became more and more outrageous, and Xiaochi Chi's parents heard about it and asked Xiaochi Chi at the dinner table not to play with the thieves, and that even if she did well in school, she was morally corrupt and hopeless.

Xiaochi Chi, who heard the rumors, was so angry that he threw his chopsticks and almost rolled up his sleeves and hit the door of the Chu family.

Ying Lou went to look for Xiaochi Chi with the textbook he had left at his home and stopped him halfway.

After asking him where he was going, Ying Lou wrapped her arm around Xiaochi Chi's waist, lifted him onto her shoulders, and flew up to the top floor.

After putting him down, Ying Lou advised him, "Don't go making a scene. In the end, it's just a semiconductor."

Xiaochi Chi was so angry that he pushed his shoulder: "No! I'll go to her! This is not over!!!"

Ying Lou hugged him back again, seeing that he really couldn't be restrained, he could only hold him in his arms, rubbing the back of his neck and coaxing softly: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, you see I'm not even angry."

Xiaochi Chi was so angry that her eyes burst into tears, "No!"

Seeing that this little crybaby with shallow eye sockets was about to cry out, Ying Lou pulled him to sit down on the edge of the building, opened a packet of jumping candy, poured it into his hand, and brought the pink candy crumbs to his mouth.

Xiaochi Chi, who was whining and crying, opened her mouth and let him pour the candy into her mouth.

Ying Lou's palms had the light scent of lemon from the hand soap and the fresh scent of the candy, which made Xiaochi Chi want to take a lick, but she gave up.

The candy crumbs exploded in the warmth of his mouth, crackling his cheeks and making Xiaochi Chi's mouth shut. In the time it took for him to quiet down, Ying Lou said calmly, "Don't take it too hard with them. We won't stay here later."

Xiaochi Chi, with tears in her eyes, turned her head to look at him, "'We'?"

Ying Lou didn't know why he subconsciously tied Xiaochi Chi to himself, but after he thought about it, it didn't seem wrong.

He folded the corners of the remaining large packet of hoppers and stuffed them into Xiaochi Chi's pocket, "Well, we."

Xiaochi Chi is reluctantly convinced, but his parents have been strict about not allowing Xiaochi Chi to go back to Ying Lou and have asked Shoucheng Zhu, a middle school teacher who lives next door to the Chi family, to help him with his homework this summer.

Xiaochi Chi has not told Ying Lou about this, just in case he thinks too much about it.

At the same time, he had a little hidden expectation.

He was interested in Ying Lou's proposal about "us". He wanted to catch up with Ying Lou and go to Ying Lou's high school, so that he could be closer to "us".

But Ying Lou still looked at Xiaochi Chi with the eyes of a child: "It's true that I was wrong in that case."

"There's a ......" a fart that comes out when Xiaochi Chi sees Ying Lou's eyes and his mouth and heart go soft together, "... ...you're not wrong."

Ying Lou, however, surprised me by saying, "You can actually come to me less often in the future and not have a head-on confrontation with Mom and Dad. You have one more year to go for high school, there is no need to have conflicts with your family ......"

Xiaochi Chi's face turned red with anger as he took away the bowl, which had been licked clean by the dog, and walked away with his feet up.

Ying Lou : "Hey, Chi Xiao ......"

Xiaochi Chi walked to the entrance of the building and said back in a loud voice, "Dead! Can't find you anymore!"

Ying Lou's gentle and helpless voice rang out behind him, "...... come back."

Xiaochi Chi's heart thumped angrily and he wanted to leave in a huff, but when Ying Lou called, he softened his heart, but he couldn't face it, so he walked back majestically, picked up the little blind dog that was lazily licking its paws, and shoved the bowl back into Ying Lou's hand: "The dog meat is mine. You can have the dog food bowl."

Dog meat: ????

Ying Lou took him by the shoulders and patiently explained, "I mean, you don't have to come to me, I'll come to you."

Xiaochi Chi, who was trying to hold out for a while, was stunned.

Ying Lou gently asked, "Did Mr. Zhu tutor well."

Xiaochi Chi : "......"

Ying Lou's tone remained the same: "How does it compare to me?"

Xiaochi Chi hugged the dog and stiffened, "Much better."

Ying Lou : "So tonight, the two of us will go to the penthouse together for tutoring, and you won't come?"

Xiaochi Chi was nervous and happy, and a small flower had blossomed out in her heart: "Not coming."

Ying Lou smiled and took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket that had been half melted by the heat. Because Xiaochi Chi's body is hot, he was afraid that if he gave it to Xiaochi Chi early, a good piece of chocolate would be completely warmed up by his body heat, and there would be no way to return to heaven.

He tucked the chocolates into his front breast pocket with the same skillful motion as he had done countless times before, "8 p.m., rooftop rooftop, I'll be waiting for you."

......

Reality Xiaochi Chi opened his eyes.

He stared fixedly at the ceiling dipped in darkness, looking a bit dazed.

061 sensed that he had woken up, " Chi Xiao ?"

Xiaochi Chi asked in a dumb voice, without a head, "...... to eight o'clock yet?"

"It's only three o'clock." 061 said, "Why don't you get more sleep."

The tone of 061's speech overlapped with the voice he had heard in his dream. Xiaochi Chi was stunned and subconsciously went to his front pocket, but felt an empty one and caused a stabbing pain in his chest.

My chocolate is gone, he thought.

The frenzied heart drums like a beat against the wounded ribs, but also gradually calms down with the time spent in daze.

Xiaochi Chi rolled over and hugged the sleeping leopard, trying to recapture the feeling of holding dog meat in his dream.

061 seemed to feel something and asked him, "What did you dream about?"

" Shoucheng Zhu ."

061 was stunned, the name really sounded familiar: "Who?"

"You don't know." Xiaochi Chi buried his face in his boss's stomach, rubbed it comfortably, and calmly said, "The first person I took out."

061: "......"

He doesn't remember having a resume in Xiaochi Chi's life.

But he knew it wasn't the time to get to the bottom of it, so he asked, "Want to see a movie?"

Xiaochi Chi came to life: "Well, look."

One person and one system on a display watched the movie, halfway through the panther woke up for a while, hugging Xiaochi Chi sucked two, and ambled back to sleep beside him.

After a two-hour movie had finished, Xiaochi Chi figured it was about time to get up and wash up.

Just as he was putting the hot towel on his face, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, along with Yan Sun's whispered but anxious "What are you doing, Lieutenant Gu" and a fierce knock on the door.

Xiaochi Chi hitches the towel back onto the towel rack before walking over to the door and pulling the bolt.

Xinzhi Gu is almost planted in, staring at Xiaochi Chi's eyes like a wolf with a horrible green glow, looking at people's hearts numb.

Xiaochi Chi, in a moderate manner, said to Yan Sun, "Wait outside for a moment."

Although there is disbelief, but the military nature of obeying orders still let Yan Sun closed the door, outside on guard, after all, Xinzhi Gu's mental state in his opinion is very worrying.

After the idle people left, Xinzhi Gu pinched his arm, and his tone was one of ecstasy and trembling that he was trying to suppress: " Yun Qiu , is it really you?"

Xiaochi Chi instantly assumes the identity of Qiuyun Ding.

Or rather, the identity of Qiuyun Ding, who is "reborn" and remembers everything that happened in his previous life.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, stroking his boss's tail on the bed with one hand, and responded blandly to his nervous question, "What do you think?"
