Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 45
The morning Kang Tong went to the summer camp, Lian Jue personally drove him to the bus meeting point.
Kang Tong got on the bus and waved Lian Jue several times through the window, until Lian Jue also waved to him, and then closed the window well.
After arriving at the hotel, go back to the room to pack up the luggage. Kang Tong’s box is very heavy, so the teacher helped him move it into the room. The boy who lived in the same room as him told him to hurry up after putting away his things. He was taking out the clothes that his aunt helped him fold and put them in the small cabinet beside the bed, and said, “You know, you go first. ”
When he took out the clothes and the loquat cream that his aunt had packed for him to eat and drink, he noticed that the bottom compartment of the box was still bulging.
“what is this?”
He unzipped the compartment and saw a stuffed bear in a blue sailor suit lying inside.
“Wow.” He took the bear out and touched the card on the bear’s neck with his fingers. There was a row of cute cartoon lines on the label: Let’s go, navigator.
Kang Tong’s eyes lit up. He has a cartoon that he likes to watch very much. The protagonist is a navigator, so he has longed for the sea from a very early age, even if he has never seen it with his own eyes. Lianjue went on a business trip abroad before and asked him if he wanted anything, and he said he wanted a model of the boat without even thinking about it. Although Lian Jue finally brought him back not a boat but a Lego model of a lighthouse, he was still very happy.
He quickly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Auntie: Thank you Auntie.
My aunt was not very good at using a smartphone and was slow to type, so she called him back and asked, “Are you here?”
Kang Tong said “yes”, and then said, “I like ‘Little Captain’ so much, thank you Auntie~”
The aunt asked inexplicably on the other end of the phone, “What little captain?”
Kang Tong was startled: “Is that the bear in my box?”
“Little Bear? I haven’t seen it before…”
Kang Tong’s hand suddenly touched the slightly uneven back of the label, and turned the card over, his eyes widened.
Above it was a row of pens written in vigorous handwriting: Be safe, navigator.
“Even Kang Tong, let’s gather, Teacher Li has called several times.” Someone shouted at the door.
Kang Tong quickly lowered his head and wiped his eyes, Weng said: “Come on.”
He carefully stuffed the card back into Little Bear’s clothes and placed Little Bear on his bed.
When he got to the door, he came back, took the little bear as a treasure and put it back into the mezzanine of his box, zipped up the box, and hurried to gather with his classmates.
After Lian Jue sent Kang Tong away, he drove home. He had too many things to do recently, so he didn’t come back often, so he simply gave his aunt a long vacation and asked her to come back when Kang Tong returned home at the end of the month.
The aunt hesitated a bit and asked, “What about the cat if the husband is not at home?”
Lian Jue glanced at the white cat that was spinning around his trousers. He didn’t think much, but seemed to think about it seriously, and then said lightly, “Someone will take care of it.”
He got his wish to see Shen Ting’s expression after seeing the cat.
It was not much different from what he imagined. Shen Tingwei’s eyes were bright, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and the expression on his face was very vivid.
“Where did the kitten come from?” Shen Tingwei bowed slightly, reached out and touched the transparent cover on the cat bag, met the kitten’s round and smart eyes, and smiled, “It’s so small.”
Lian Jue didn’t look at him, and explained insincerely: “No one takes care of me at home, so I’ll let you here first.”
Shen Tingwei was obviously surprised: “Your cat?”
Lian Jue did not answer.
Shen Ting didn’t take the cat bag from his hand, and his hand touched the zipper, as if he wanted to release the kitten from the bag.
After making a small cut, he stopped again. He raised his head and looked at Lian Jue, the smile on his face diminished a little, replaced by a deep pity.
He withdrew his hand, gave a dull “ah”, and said, “Otherwise, Mr. Lian should let someone else take care of it first…” He seemed to be afraid of Lian Jue’s misunderstanding, and also seemed to think that Lian Jue was not someone who knew these things. , so he raised his hand and pointed lightly at his belly, explaining, “I don’t seem to be suitable for pets now…”
“I checked and there is no Toxoplasma gondii.” Lian Jue said quickly, as if he could understand Shen Tingwei’s thoughts, “I have done deworming and vaccines.”
Shen Ting did not lift his eyes to look at him.
Lian Jue’s words were too blunt, and it was difficult for Shen Tingwei not to have unnecessary associations, but Lian Jue quickly changed the subject and asked him when the doctor would come.
Shen Tingwei had no choice but to withdraw his thoughts temporarily and replied, “Afternoon.”
He opened the cat bag and took the kitten out of the bag with its two front legs. The kitten was not yet familiar with his scent, with its tail curled up on the stomach and belly, stretched its neck and sniffed gently.
Shen Tingwei liked it very much, he sat down on the small sofa in the living room with it, and asked Lianjue, “Does it have a name?”
Lian Jue said, “Mimi.” That’s what Kang Tong always called.
Shen Ting didn’t think he heard it wrong, raised his head to look at Lian Jue, Lian Jue sat on the sofa next to him, looked at him for a few seconds, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Uh—” Shen Tingwei didn’t answer for a while.
Hearing these two words solemnly from Lian Jue’s mouth, there is an unusual but not abrupt sense of strangeness.
He suppressed his urge to laugh, shook his head quickly, and said, “…very cute.”
Lian Jue was looking for a message from the doctor saying that today’s examination should be able to see the facial features and gender of the fetus, so he decided to stay here and wait.
Shen Tingwei’s voice was too soft, as if he was afraid of scaring the kitten, but he couldn’t hold back and called out, “Mimi?”
Lian Jue raised his head following the voice. Shen Tingwei lowered his head very low, and looked at the kitten in his arms with a serious expression and tenderness.
Perhaps because of the unfamiliar environment, the kitten was surprisingly well-behaved, lying on Shen Tingwei’s lap without moving. Shen Tingwei touched its head lightly, and scratched its chin again. It slowly flicked its tail and narrowed its eyes lazily, as if it was about to fall asleep.
Lian Jue looked at Shen Ting for a while, and found that he looked very good today, with a little pink on his fair cheeks, and his lips were more bloody than usual.
“Will it go to the toilet?” Shen Tingwei suddenly raised his head.
He has always liked cats, but never had one. In the past, because his mother was allergic to cat hair and other things, he had to put the plan of raising cats after living independently. Later, he came here inexplicably before he could live independently. , It is difficult to protect yourself, not to mention the thought of keeping pets.
“I can use cat litter.” He turned his eyes away without a trace.
After he looked away, Shen Tingwei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then said casually, “Oh, so clever…”
At noon, Shen Tingwei simply cooked two dishes, and didn’t make any more noises last time, and even Jue didn’t leave in a hurry like last time.
Shen Ting was a little entangled when he didn’t bring the dishes to the table. It was too deliberate to divide the meal, and it was too formal to sit relative to each other, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he still put the two dishes together and turned his head to ask Lian Jue to come over for dinner.
Lian Jue seemed to be habitually sitting down at the main table, while Shen Tingwei sat down at the corner of the table in his left hand.
Lian Jue adhered to the principle of ‘eating without speaking’ when eating, and did not comment on his cooking skills, but made Shen Tingwei feel relieved. talk.
Shen Tingwei still remembered what happened last time, when Lian Jue was about to finish his meal, he said to Lian Jue, “I didn’t fall asleep on purpose last time, I was too sleepy… I had insomnia during that time. Kind of serious.”
Lian Jue raised his head and looked at him for a few seconds. After realizing that he was referring to the matter of falling asleep on the way back, he said calmly, “I have something to do that day.”
Shen Tingwei looked at him blankly, and it took a while to realize that Lian Jue was explaining the behavior of leaving without a word that day, and quickly realized that what he meant was that he was not angry.
Shen Ting didn’t expect that he would explain this to himself. After being surprised, he didn’t think about what to say, so he simply replied, “Oh.”
