After taking a big mouthful of kumquat and lemon, Chi Yan patted her chest in a daze: "...I was really scared at that time."

Xiaoya was next to her, her eyes were also looking out: "It's so pitiful, I haven't been scolded yet."

It was already noon, and almost all the students in the dance room had left after class. Only a few staff members stayed behind, watching the gossip and dinner outside through the transparent glass door.

Zhou Ming was half a head taller than Ji Yunqing, but he stood like a quail with his hands down and his head down, and he was being lectured obediently.

Ji Yunqing leaned against the railing with her arms folded, her beautiful eyes half-smile, her lips slightly parted, not knowing what to say.

"Do you think it's funny?" Xiaoya lowered her voice.

Chi Yan continued to drink lemonade: "There must be, bet or not?"

Xiaoya hesitated for a moment: "But this person is really hard to chase..."

"But you see that Ji Yunqing has already started to bully him," Chi Yan clicked her lips, "The behavior of elementary school boys is so childish."

Not long after, the elementary school boy said something, Zhou Ming took a deep look at him, turned around and left obediently, and at the same time, the two spectators immediately dispersed, pretending nothing happened.

The weather is still a bit dull today, don’t know if there will be another thunderstorm later, after Ji Yunqing taught Zhou Ming a lesson, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to settle accounts with Chi Yan, and discuss the matter of his childhood photos.It rang.

It was Mei Shuo who called, and he answered angrily: "Hello?"

"Yo, so angry," Mei Shuo laughed over there, "Who messed with you?"

"Speak up if you have something to say." Ji Yunqing saw Chi Yan's leopard-print vest at a glance, and immediately narrowed his eyes and walked quickly.

Mei Shuo paused: "Is it that you really don't think about it anymore, change the environment or something, the conditions here are really good."

Ji Yunqing didn't pay much attention, and continued: "I've already said it, the dance studio is also open, think about it, there is no need to go there again, thank you for your kindness... Chi Yan, stop for me!"

But there was a long pause on the other side, and Ji Yunqing thought the signal was not good, and was about to hang up and call back when he heard Mei Shuo sigh.

"Yun'er, I don't want to talk about it, but... Cheng Zan came out last month."

Ji Yunqing had no expression on his face, turned around and walked out as if nothing had happened, his voice was neither high nor low: "I almost forgot about this idiot."

He opened the glass door and walked to the fire escape outside. It was dark and empty, only the sign below was glowing faintly, as if the connection was bad.quietly landed on it.

"His family kept the news from him, and he didn't dare to tell you if he wasn't sure before." Mei Shuo lowered his voice, "It's been two years... I didn't expect the sentence to be commuted, but I've inquired, and they are indeed in compliance with the policy, just, you knowI mean, this person is crazy, so if you think about it again, the school should at least be safer."

Ji Yunqing had already walked to the corner, digging at the railing with his fingers: "He's okay, but his mother is actually crazy."

"Anyway, I think it's quite intrusive," Mei Shuo muttered, "Look, I warned you."

After thanking him and hanging up the phone, Ji Yunqing stood for a while with no expression on his face before climbing up the stairs. The dark clouds outside had already subsided, and it was obvious that there was a torrential rain.the black line.

Zhou Ming was also looking at the sky outside.

Summer is prone to change, and people's appetites tend to be mediocre at this time. According to his observation, the group of people in the dance studio quite like hot and sour snacks, especially the lemon boneless chicken feet. Everyone can't wait to come up and shake themTail.

This dish is not difficult to make, and the success can be achieved by mastering the proportion of ingredients accurately. The trouble is the process of removing the bones. You have to use small scissors to cut the joints and remove the small bones to get a full springy chicken claw. Fortunately,Zhou Ming has a lot of patience. Turn on the TV and watch an old movie, and he can peel a full basin in one afternoon.

It's just that he has done too much during this period, and at night, he dreams of chickens seeking revenge on him.

The lemon has already been cut. Zhou Ming changed the cutting board to cut the chili pepper. This time he bought the kind of super hot chili pepper, which was so green and oily. While it was being cut, the phone rang.

He glanced at it, frowning.

It was his father.

Zhou Ming's father is quite a legendary figure, with a completely different personality from his son. If Zhou Ming is a rigid and quiet little salty fish, Zhou Yaozong's life has been consistent with the word "tossing".

It can be described as vigorous.

When Zhou Yaozong was young, he was very indifferent to love and family. While devoting himself to his career energetically, he also challenged the limits in various ways.Driving an off-road vehicle, driving wildly and singing songs I want to live in full bloom, climbing rocks on foot and driving a racing car, drinking too much for Xiaomi, flying with a wing suit and jumping down, going to Macau to gamble twice if it’s okay, as long as there is no lawHe can't wait to taste the forbidden things.

One can imagine how he once thought of his son.

He doesn't like children very much, and he is very annoyed by the squawking cubs. He doesn't understand why Zhou Ming would give him homework to sign. Isn't it enough to imitate this kind of thing? He also doesn't understand why Zhou Ming wouldAfraid of the dark, what are boys afraid of?I don't even understand why Zhou Ming has no enterprising spirit, he only likes to paint and cook, and has no intention of fighting hard.

No interest.

When Zhou Ming was in adolescence, he tried to argue with him. Hobbies have no distinction, and there is no rule about what a boy must look like, but Zhou Yaozong really didn't understand. If it wasn't for the fact that he still cared about other people's opinions when he was young, he wouldn't even want to get married.

As a result, when got older, realized that treated Zhou Ming better.

The behavior is extremely rough, that is, giving money, housing, and property.

Zhou Ming is not stupid, he knows that he has to pay the corresponding price for what he accepts. When he declined, the old man looked at him with a cigar in his mouth.

Zhou Ming was at a loss for words for a while, and after accepting the part, he said that it was really enough, thank you very much.

The old man said, it doesn't matter.

Both of them were very polite.

After getting a little older, the old man actually developed a little affection for the baby. He couldn't move when he saw someone else's grandson. Occasionally, when he thought of it, he urged Zhou Ming. He was still very heroic. When will he have one?Oh, don't have a daughter-in-law yet, almost forgot that you are not married yet...

Fortunately, this kind of time is relatively rare, Zhou Yaozong will only come to this once every few months, so Zhou Ming can guess the content of the current phone call with his eyes closed.

He sighed and pressed the answer button.

"Where are you, you haven't called me for months!"

Zhou Ming replied unhurriedly: "At home, I called you twice, but they were picked up by different women. One time they said you were taking a bath, and the other time they said you were sleeping."

"Then let's not talk about this for now," Zhou Yaozong seemed to be in a good mood, "Have you fallen in love recently?"

Zhou Ming slightly avoided this topic, and continued: "I still want to ask you, you already have a new family, why are you still not taking care of yourself outside?"

"Men are like this," Zhou Yaozong smiled, "Don't stare at me and talk about you."

Zhou Ming didn't say a word, and tapped the chopping board with his fingers.

"If not, let me introduce you. I had dinner with Lao Qian yesterday. His daughter just came back from abroad. She is very beautiful. I will arrange a time for you two to meet."

"Dad," Zhou Ming asked softly, "When was the last time we met?"

Zhou Yaozong was stunned for a moment, as if thinking about it: "Let's celebrate the New Year... Oh, I haven't seen you for half a year."

"I haven't seen you during Chinese New Year. You went to the Maldives." Zhou Ming withdrew his hand and frowned wearily. "I don't want to get in touch with girls right now. I know everything about my relationship well, so I don't need to arrange it."

Zhou Yaozong immediately raised his voice: "You know why you haven't let me hold a grandson, how many times have you said, you just give birth, I will raise it!"

"Dad, if you simply like children, I suggest you get a puppy," Zhou Ming said seriously, "If it's just to make up for the lack of parenting experience when you were young, you don't have to project it on your grandson, because you don't like children in your bones.", even if you have a grandson now, you still treat him like a joke, it's not necessary."

"I have to go out for six months a year, and if I raise it myself, I will give it to the nanny. I don't even know which city you are in now, so don't miss me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other person cursed something and hung up the phone directly.

Zhou Ming put down the phone calmly, but suddenly found himself crying. At the same time, a burning pain came from his eyes. The call came suddenly. He forgot to wash his hands, and accidentally touched his eyes while rubbing his eyebrows!

Thin-skinned, thick-fleshed and less-seeded, the ultra-spicy peppercorns from the countryside are fresh.

Zhou Ming wailed, walked quickly to the bathroom, turned on the cold water and began to wash his face frantically, but his eyes were still so painful that he couldn't even open them a little. Looking in the mirror, the skin at the corners of the eyes was indeed reddened.

There were ice cubes stocked in the refrigerator, and I wrapped them in gauze and applied them to my eyes, which gave me some signs of relief. Zhou Ming lay on his back on the sofa, cursing himself for his carelessness. In fact, he usually knows how to cook this dish.Wearing gloves, but today the gloves are gone at home, thinking that it’s okay to be spicy, but it turned out like this.

After a while, his skin was numb from the ice. Zhou Ming packed up the ice and washed his face again. In the mirror, there were still drops of water on his face, and his eyes were red, and there was still a little bit of it.swollen.

The pain is gone, it's numb.

It was too ugly to let Ji Yunqing see it. Zhou Ming sighed helplessly. He had provoked someone today and wanted to have dinner together to make amends, so he had to give up altogether.

There was a thunderous thunder, and the big raindrops hit the ground, the sound gradually increased, and gradually gained the momentum of smashing the sky and covering the earth.

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, not sure if Ji Yunqing had an umbrella, the dance studio was in the outermost commercial circle of the community, and it would take several minutes to walk back to the building, so he picked up his mobile phone and called the other party.

No one answered.

Zhou Ming looked at the time, it was six in the afternoon, maybe this meeting is still in class?He was a little uncertain, he hesitated for a while, and then secretly sent a message to Xiaoya.

"It's raining, do you have umbrellas?"

The screen quickly lit up: "It's raining heavily and driving is dangerous. We're not leaving. We've already opened a hotel nearby, and we're partying all night!"

Zhou Ming grabbed the phone: "Is Ji Yunqing there?"

"He just left," Xiaoya replied quickly, "I guess we'll be home by now."

Zhou Ming stood up instinctively and walked outside, he hesitated about his present honor when he opened the door, but at this stall, Ji Yunqing appeared on the visible doorbell.

Not only him, but another one beside him.

He was a thin young man with short shaved hair, but he was tall and straight, standing very close to Ji Yunqing.

Both of them were drenched in the rain, and the clothes were sticking to their bodies, showing the obvious curve of their backs.

Walking to the door, Ji Yunqing didn't open the door immediately, but said something to the other party, and the man pulled Ji Yunqing's arm in a low voice and shook it, as if he was acting like a baby.

But Ji Yunqing didn't shake off, but opened the door with a little helplessness, and pushed the man's back into the room together.

The door is closed.

Zhou Ming blinked, walked silently to the sofa, picked up Huahua and buried his face on it, rubbing vigorously until the kitten jumped out of his arms impatiently, then raised his head and stared at his shoes..

It should be a friend, he thought, it's normal to take a friend home to change clothes when it's raining.

There was still a large pot of processed chicken feet on the table, and the kitchen had chopped seasonings. Zhou Ming washed his hands and did the final marinating work.

Put the chopped lemon and chili into it, and then add passion fruit. remember that Ji Yunqing seems to be a younger brother, maybe that person is another relative...

Oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and sesame oil are adjusted according to the proportions, and coriander should also be added. Ji Yunqing doesn't mind if friends live at home, most people probably don't mind, not everyone is as awkward as himself...

Zhou Ming let out a long sigh, and started stirring absently, trying to distract himself.

After mixing evenly, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator overnight. When Zhou Ming returned to the living room, the sunflowers in the vase must be a little wilted, looking pitiful.

But Zhou Ming would not want to change it.

He sat on the sofa in a daze, dizzy with Ji Yunqing's disturbance in his mind, but his mind was full of trivial matters.

Zhou Ming once thought about how he didn't like dealing with strangers, and how he didn't like others coming into his house. It was probably a habit formed in his childhood. He also had a lot of words and questions at that time, and he wanted to ask his parents.But the response is very little, and gradually, the sense of expectation is lowered. If you don’t fit in, you are not a popular child. An unpopular child is not easy to be seen. He doesn’t like to perform in front of adults, and he doesn’t know how to hold a glass.Toast at the banquet, and never raise your hand when the campaign class is doing it.

Although he may have done more than those small squad leaders.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming has been very hands-on since he was a child, so he made himself a small castle out of a cardboard box.

Only children can get in, adults can't get in.

It is said to be a castle, but it is actually a dark and narrow space of more than one meter in length and width, which is placed next to the bed in his bedroom.

Zhou Ming named it "My Room". He played in it, slept in it, and stretched his two thin legs outside. No one was allowed to enter. This was his own territory, which belonged to him alone.——

The doorbell rang outside.

Zhou Ming was startled suddenly, only to realize that it was past eleven o'clock at night. He had sat on the sofa for so long without realizing it, and when he stood up, his legs felt numb, and he almost fell down.

The door opened, and Ji Yunqing was outside.

It seemed that he hadn't taken a shower, his hair and clothes were not dry yet, his pretty face looked a little angry, and he rushed in directly, carrying a damp smell of summer.

"That idiot finally fell asleep." Ji Yunqing began to change his shoes familiarly, "I have a lot to tell you...huh?"

He opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Did you cry just now?"

"No," Zhou Ming hurriedly explained, "I made lemon chicken feet, it's so spicy to the eyes."

Ji Yunqing looked at him suspiciously, as if weighing whether this sentence was true.

"You...why did you come here?" Zhou Ming's heart beat a little, and he admitted frankly, "I just saw you bring someone in, and thought you had something to do today."

"Well, that's why I came here to tell you." Ji Yunqing had already changed into his slippers, "Why, drive me away?"

Zhou Ming shook his head desperately: "No, I just thought you wouldn't tell me."

"Why didn't you tell me," Ji Yunqing said strangely, "It's not like I don't have a long mouth."

He bent down, caught Hua Hua who was jumping over, buried his face on it for a while, and then raised his head in satisfaction: "I don't want to stay in the same room with that person, I'll come to sleep with you."

"……What?"

"If you didn't hear clearly, I didn't say it."

"I heard you clearly, I heard you clearly!"

The author has something to say:

I have never had any surprises in reading novels. The only thing I don’t like is that the protagonist doesn’t have a long mouth.

Especially when listening to the corner, turned head and ran away after only half listening

Oh my god, that misunderstanding can last for half a book, often I can’t wait to go in and yell a few sentences, just explain the matter clearly, why do we have to torture each other?

So I won't write that kind of misunderstanding haha, the characters are not tall enough, they are not perfect

The plot of this book is also relatively plain, which is the sentence in the copywriting

Two clumsy people close to each other and warm each other

As the song says:

"We are all the only flowers in the world, it doesn't matter if we don't become the first, we are special and unique"
