After a while, Chen Yuncheng heard Ning Junyan's stomach growl, he turned his head and asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Ning Junyan did not respond.

Chen Yuncheng stood up and said to Ning Junyan, "Wait for me here." He walked towards the intersection in front of him, his small figure squeezed into the crowd waiting to cross the street.

In front of Chen Yuncheng, a girl with an umbrella put her mobile phone in her jacket pocket, and he could easily take it out as long as he stretched out his hand; in front of him, a middle-aged man seemed to have money in his pocket. What a denomination, anyway, the entire pocket is bulging.

At the moment when the red light turned green, the crowd looked chaotic and walked forward. Instead of stealing the phone, Chen Yuncheng touched the middle-aged man's pocket. The direction took a few steps to retreat to the periphery of the crowd, and then mixed in with the crowd coming from the opposite side and walked back.

He noticed that someone was looking at him, and the person behind him should have noticed that he stole money, but no one reminded the middle-aged man.

Chen Yuncheng quickly walked back to Ning Junyan, pulled him up from the ground, and said, "Go."

The two of them hid by the wall far away from the intersection. Chen Yuncheng took out the money and saw a handful of loose change in his hand, only about twenty yuan after counting.

Chen Yuncheng said to Ning Junyan, "Go eat first."

Ning Junyan stared at the money in his hand, "Yeah" counted as an answer.

Chapter 8

That night, Chen Yuncheng didn't steal anything. Maybe it was too hot, and he couldn't keep up his spirits. After lunch, he took Ning Junyan around for a while, and found a shaded place under the overpass to lie down and sleep.

At first, Ning Junyan squatted down beside him, Chen Yuncheng looked up at him and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Ning Junyan shook his head.

Chen Yuncheng said, "Sleep for a while, it's too hot."

Ning Junyan didn't mean to lie down.

Chen Yuncheng narrowed his eyes for a while and opened them again, and said to him, "Then can you sit down and let me rest on your lap?"

Ning Junyan looked down at him.

Chen Yuncheng said, "If you don't want to, forget it."

In the end, Ning Junyan still sat down.

Chen Yuncheng put his head on Ning Junyan's lap and closed his eyes comfortably: "I'm asleep."

He slept for the whole afternoon, woke up halfway and didn't bother to get up, only opened his eyes and gave Ning Junyan a sneak peek.

Ning Junyan sat by the flower table and looked into the distance with a calm expression. If he didn't say it, no one would probably see that he was a fool who couldn't even remember his own name.

Chen Yuncheng changed his posture and was a little afraid that Ning Junyan would push him away when he was tired from sitting.

When the sun goes down, it's finally not that hot.

Chen Yuncheng found ten dollars left in his pocket. He looked at Ning Junyan and said, "Let's go back."

Ning Junyan nodded.

Chen Yuncheng said, "It's only ten yuan, and we won't have dinner when we go back."

Ning Junyan did not speak.

Chen Yuncheng was shorter than him, so he stood on tiptoe close to his ear, and whispered, "But we can use the ten dollars to buy dinner, secretly, so don't let the godparents know about it." After speaking, he looked at Ning Jun Yan didn't respond, and asked again, "Do you understand?"

Ning Junyan nodded this time and said, "I understand."

Chen Yuncheng went to buy two braised pork and pot helmets, and shared them with Ning Junyan. Although the Guokui was not big, it was stuffed with half-fat and thin braised pork, and the oily marinade seeped into the noodle cakes, making the two teenagers very satisfied.

On the way back, Chen Yuncheng found a public toilet and washed his face with clean water by the sink. After washing his face, he called Ning Junyan over, wiped his mouth and chin with his wet hands a few times, and leaned closer. After smelling it, he felt that there was no smell, so he asked Ning Junyan, "Do you still smell braised pork on me?"

Ning Junyan raised his hand to wipe the water on his face, and when he heard the words, he sniffed Chen Yuncheng's lips like a puppy, and then shook his head.

Chen Yuncheng wiped the water off his clothes on his clothes and said, "Let's go then."

When got back to the yard, godfather and godmother had already started to eat dinner. The two of them came back empty-handed and naturally had nothing to eat.

Chen Yuncheng and Ning Junyan stood at the door of the kitchen. Godfather sat at the table while peeling peanuts and drinking. Hearing Chen Yuncheng's words, he raised his head and looked at them.

The godmother didn't say anything.

The godfather said to Ning Junyan, "Go out first."

Ning Junyan didn't respond.

Godfather pointed his finger at him: "What about you, fool!"

Chen Yuncheng reached out and pushed Ning Junyan, pushing him out of the kitchen.

The godfather then said to Chen Yuncheng, "Come here and kneel."

Chen Yuncheng walked over and knelt down near the dining table.

After that, no one spoke to him. The godfather drank and ate vegetables, and the godmother started to wash the pots and dishes after eating.

After waiting until the godfather finished eating, he stepped on the stool beside him with one foot, looked at Chen Yuncheng, and said, "Chen Yuncheng, you are becoming more and more disobedient."

Chen Yuncheng buried his head and dared not speak.

The godmother cleaned up the table and said without looking up, "It's not honest when you're older."

The godfather said, "You know that my godmother and I have adopted so many children, why are you the only one left in the end?"

Chen Yuncheng looked at the floor silently.

The godfather continued: "Because you are different from them, we raised you as our own son, and in the future, you will give the godfather and godmother the care of the elderly, you know?"

Chen Yuncheng replied in a low voice, "I know."

The godmother suddenly threw the rag on the table, "You

orphan

, if we hadn't taken in you, you would have starved to death outside! How many meals have you eaten at home over the years? The first two years are still good, and I can make money back when I go out. How can I learn to cheat and play slippery now? "
