When Yu Chu woke up, the surroundings were quiet, and the slanting sunlight came in through the window, with a bit of orange red, so that he could not tell whether it was the morning sun or the evening. time.

He propped up his upper body and found that his body was a little weak, and his stomach seemed to be hungry for several days. The clothes on his body were the same ones he wore before going to bed last night, and they were already wrinkled.

The sound of the TV was faintly heard outside the door. He guessed that Li Siming was watching a drama, so he pulled on the disposable slippers by the bed, got up and opened the bedroom door.

When he walked into the small living room, the person sitting on the sofa raised his head, but it was not Li Siming, but Xie Xingmu.

Xie Xingmu looked at Yu Chu and asked, "Awake?"

"En." Yu Chu only paused for a second, then turned around and went into the bathroom.

He turned on the faucet and brushed his teeth. While brushing, he looked at the man with messy hair in the mirror, wondering why Xie Xingmu was here.

The bathroom door was banged, Xie Xingmu asked at the door, "Do you want to have breakfast or take a shower first? I prepared clean clothes for you."

Yu Chu was very hungry, but the sticky body made him even more unbearable, so he replied vaguely: "I'll take a shower first."

Xie Xingmu didn't ask any more questions, just twisted the door handle and walked in, looked left and right, and seeing that there was no suitable place, he put a set of folded clean clothes on the towel rack.

The bathroom in this hotel is not big at all, Xie Xingmu is tall, and when he comes in, the space seems even more cramped. Yu Chu was squeezed to the top of the washbasin, so he took his toothbrush in his mouth, took the water from the cup, and prepared to rinse off the toothpaste.

Xie Xingmu did not go out after putting away his clothes, and turned to face the mirror. When Yu Chu saw this man standing still behind him, he looked at him from the mirror with some doubts.

Xie Xingmu coughed lightly and said, "You have only brushed for about a minute, continue to brush and clean all sides of your teeth, at least three minutes."

Yu Chu suddenly became a little annoyed and blurted out, "What's your business? Go out."

Xie Xingmu looked at his wide-eyed eyes, and had to push the door out, and continued: "Remember to brush for three minutes." He pointed to the mirror in front of him, "Toothpaste splashed Go up and wipe it off after you wash it."

Bang.

Yu Chu reached out and kicked the door.

After brushing his teeth, he turned on the shower head to take a shower, and put on the clothes that Xie Xingmu brought in. This is a brand new set of sportswear, white sweater and black trousers, Xie Xingmu also thoughtfully took off the label.

Out of the bathroom, he saw a few lunch boxes, a bowl of vegetable porridge and several exquisite desserts already placed on the coffee table in the living room.

Xie Xingmu was standing in front of the window smoking a cigarette, when he heard the movement, he looked over, stared at him for two seconds, then turned his head and put out the cigarette **** in the ashtray, saying, "Eat some pads first. abdomen."

Yu Chu was so hungry that his chest was against the back wall for a long time, so he rudely sat under the table by the side of the table, picked up the tableware and started eating. He asked, "What time is it now?"

"Four o'clock in the afternoon." Xie Xingmu said.

Yu Chu ate the meal silently, a little gobbled up, Xie Xingmu sat down opposite him, picked up his chopsticks and poked the skin of the soup bag open, letting the heat inside dissipate.

"Slow down, there's no one robbing you."

Yu Chu immersed himself in eating half of it before slowing down and asked Xie Xingmu, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Xie Xingmu began to pick out a thorn in the steamed crucian carp again, and said, "I didn't wake up for a long time. I just ate it at the porridge shop, so I packed one for you and brought it here."

Only then did Yu Chu notice that he had changed his clothes, a black short-sleeved T-shirt and trousers. He looked very energetic, as if he had never rested.

"What are you doing here? Can I continue to fish with this bait?" he asked while biting the head of his chopsticks.

Xie Xingmu raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes were dark and dark, then lowered his head and continued to pick the fishbone, and said, "What kind of bait are you, you are the ancestor."

Seeing that Yu Chu stopped eating in a trance, he bent his fingers and tapped on the table: "Hurry up, the crucian carp will turn fishy when it gets cold."

Come on, we're going to check out."

"I have everything I can carry with me." Yu Chu said.

The two walked out of the hotel door, Xie Xingmu pressed the car key, and the lights of the off-road vehicle parked not far away flashed.

Yu Chu looked at the Public Security Bureau not far away and asked, "Aren't I going to record a statement or something?"

Xie Xingmu said, "No need, let's go, get in the car."

Yu Chu thought he was going to send him back to the rented house, so he got into the co-pilot, and when Big G merged into the traffic, he realized that it was going in the opposite direction to his home.

Xie Xingmu explained: "You know I have a nephew, right? He is in kindergarten now, it's getting late, let's pick him up first."

Yu Chu did not object. Ten minutes later, Xie Xingmu parked the car on the side of the road and said to him while unbuckling his seat belt, "Wait, I'll pick up Duoduo."

There is a kindergarten across the street. Now it's school time, many parents are picking up their children, and the children are noisy.

Yu Chu has always disliked children, so he pressed the car window button and shut the noisy sounds outside, only watching Xie Xingmu's tall figure enter the gate of the kindergarten.

The waiting time was a bit boring, he stared at an ice cream shop by the roadside, watching those adults buy ice cream for noisy children. Looking at him, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision. Xie Xingmu was also in the back of the line at some time, with a four- or five-year-old boy in his left arm.

The little boy was wearing a T-shirt with a little yellow duck on his chest and a blue schoolbag. He was talking to Xie Xingmu and gestured with his hands excitedly. He couldn't see Xie Xingmu's face here, he could only see him nodding along and listening carefully.

Xie Xingmu quickly lined up in front of the counter, and when he came out again, there were two more ice creams in his right hand. When Yu Chu saw him walking towards the direction of the car, he quickly turned his eyes away.

, the children are laughing, I didn't laugh at him."

"Well, Duo Duo did the right thing." Xie Xingmu bent over to fasten his seat belt and handed an ice cream to his hand, "Your favorite strawberry flavor."

When Duoduo took the ice cream, he opened the cab door and sat in, handing another ice cream in his hand to Yu Chu.

Yu Chu seldom eats such sweets, but Xie Xingmu didn't say a word, so he took it over inexplicably.

"Mango flavor, you should like it." Xie Xingmu looked at him and said.

Yu Chu wondered how he knew he liked mangoes, and suddenly remembered that when he was in Xingyuan Island, he would eat the mangoes in the fruit bowl first, which should have been seen by Xie Xingmu.

His heartbeat suddenly slowed for half a beat, and he hurriedly lowered his head and took a bite of the ice cream to avoid Xie Xingmu's sight.

"Who is he?" The little boy asked curiously from the back seat.

Xie Xingmu then remembered and introduced them to the two: "Duoduo, this is Uncle Yu. Xiao Chu, this is my nephew, Duoduo."

"Xiao Chu?" Chi Duoduo asked later.

Xie Xingmu corrected: "You can't be called Xiao Chu, you have to be called Uncle Yu."

Chi Duoduo carefully looked at Yu Chu's profile, giggling: "Little Chu."

When Yu Chu grew up, he had no experience with children. He was stared at by Chi Duoduo, not knowing what to say, so he kept his face tight in silence.

Chi Duoduo looked at him with bright eyes, and suddenly said: "Xiao Chu, you look good, even better than Hua Zhinan."

Xie Xingmu also looked at Yu Chu and agreed meaningfully: "You are quite insightful." Then he explained to Yu Chu: "Hua Zhinan is his classmate, he used to praise little girls Pretty."

Chi Duoduo shouted again: "Little Chu."

Yu Chu turned to look at him, he giggled and did not speak, revealing two rows of white teeth like broken rice.

Yu Chu is very good at dealing with adults, but I really don't know how to communicate with children. I feel a little nervous for such a four or five year old child.

Xie Xingmu noticed his unnaturalness, was a little surprised, and found it a little interesting, so he let Chi Duoduo call Xiao Chu a few times, until Yu Chu's expression became more and more stiff, he did not sigh He started the car with a smile: "Forget it, go back and correct it." Then he said to Yu Chu, "Eat it quickly, lest the ice cream melt."

Chi Duoduo in the back seat also said enthusiastically: "Xiao Chu eat quickly, if you can't finish it, I can help you."

The big G started and merged into the traffic. Yu Chu saw that the edge of the ice cream had melted a little, so he lowered his head and ate slowly. Although he turned his back to Chi Duoduo, he could feel the child's two fiery gazes falling on his side face all the time.

It made him feel a little on pins and needles.

"Uncle, are we taking Xiao Chu home?" Chi Duo asked while eating.

Yu Chu was stunned when he heard this, only to realize that the off-road had never turned, but was moving in the opposite direction of the house he rented.

But what surprised him even more was Xie Xingmu's answer.

"Yeah, Uncle Yu will stay with us temporarily." Xie Xingmu looked at the approaching car behind the rearview mirror and replied naturally.

Before Yu Chu had time to ask, he burst into a cheer: "Wow, I knew, uncle, is Xiao Chu a gift from you?"

"No, your uncle has already bought the gift and put it at home." Xie Xingmu smiled and glanced at Yu Chu, seeing that he was still in a daze, he said, "It's not safe for you to live there. , I thought about it again and again, and thought you would live with me."

"I'm not going." Yu Chu replied.

Xie Xingmu asked unexpectedly, "Why?"

"How can I make bait when I go to your house?" Yu Chu turned the cone and licked it again, and said, "I live in the captain's house of the criminal investigation team. Can't you ever catch it?"

There was a red light in front of him, Xie Xingmu stepped on the brakes, watched him stick out his tongue and lick the ice cream, and after a while he said, "I'll think of another way in the future, just stay at my house now."

Yu Chu rolled the ice cream on his upper lip into his mouth with his tongue, squinted at him and asked, "What? I'm afraid that something happened to my bait, which will make you feel guilty, sorry for your grandma Zhao?"

Xie Xingmu turned his eyes away and said in a dry voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't think through it carefully, and I won't do it in the future."

Yu Chu didn't say anything, and didn't say anything about refusing to live in his house. He only concentrated on sipping the ice cream water dripping from the egg roll skin.

Although Xie Xingmu turned his head, he watched his movements from the rearview mirror inside the car. After the green light came on, he released the brakes and moved forward, saying, "Eat ice cream well, don't play with it."

"I didn't lick and play, and if I didn't lick off the melted water, it would drip on my pants." Yu Chu muttered.

Chi Duoduo also said from the back: "Yes, I'm licking it too, Xiao Chu, look."

"Shut up." Xie Xingmu scolded Chi Duoduo, "If you want to drip it in my car, just wipe it off with a tissue, and there should be no traces."

Chi Duoduo pouted and took the other hand under the cone.

Yu Chu didn't continue licking, and stuffed the remaining half of the ice cream into his mouth. But I didn't expect that the ice cream was quite big, stuffed my cheeks bulging, and the whole mouth was so frozen that it started to feel woody and painful.

Xie Xingmu was concentrating on driving, but Chi Duoduo had been watching him and noticed something unusual, so he couldn't help but leaned his head forward and asked, "Xiao Chu, are you choking? Xiao Chu, you What's wrong?"

Xie Xingmu looked at the co-pilot and saw Yu Chu bulging his cheeks, tears welling up, he was trying his best to swallow, and then opened his mouth and breathed out. He was stunned for a moment, holding the steering wheel with only one hand, and the other hand on Yu Chu's mouth: "Quick, spit it out."

Yu Chu glanced at the hand, and finally did not vomit, but stretched his neck and swallowed hard, but the whole mouth was dead, even the throat to the stomach Like frozen.

Xie Xingmu parked the car on the side of the road, jumped out of the car, trotted into a small restaurant next to him, brought a cup of hot water out, went around to the co-pilot and opened the car door, bent over and handed it to Yu Chu mouth: "Drink some hot and slow."

Yu Chu took the paper cup and drank slowly, Xie Xingmu returned to the driver's seat and sat down, looking at Yu Chu without speaking, his expression was a little speechless.
