A month passed quickly, even though Cheng Hanlong wanted to break up the day into two days.

In this period of time, he had shown Aunt Cheng his most sensible attitude of the past few years. Cheng Cheng watched Aunt Cheng cook all day and thought that he could also cook such delicious food in the future.

The home phone calls during the two days leading up to the wedding were all from Gong Zhi's side, discussing some matters. Both sides agreed to do it simply. They did not want to be too ostentatious. Besides, Gong Zhi was still sick, so it was inconvenient for him to go through with it. Originally, it was better for Aunt Cheng to do these things herself, but since Cheng Hanlong was going to take the high school exam, she wanted to accompany the child for the rest of the time. Gong Zhi also understood very well.

Aunt Cheng didn't expect Cheng Shi to come to her during her busiest days, and he looked a little haggard. They met simply in a restaurant.

The first thing Cheng Shi said was: "Can you not marry him?" Aunt Cheng thought it was funny at the time. She thought she would never hear Cheng Shi admit defeat in her lifetime. She didn't expect that Cheng Shi would remind her of something just when she had almost forgotten what she had done with him!

"Why?" Aunt Cheng asked calmly.

"No reason, as long as you don't marry him, I can work hard to compensate you both. Maybe I can go home and eat more, maybe even stay for a few nights. " Cheng Shi answered.

Aunt Cheng felt that these words were like a slap on her face. She felt that these words were like a slap on her face. She felt that these words were like a slap on her face.

"Cheng Shi, do you think we have waited so many years just for a few meals? "You don't know how good he is to me. He's got a limp and he has to take my luggage cold. He said if every hit is for me, he'll be happy to take it for the rest of his life …"

"Force me to shut up!" How much do you think you're worth? "Let me tell you, he's the only one who can't do it. Other people, no matter who you want to follow, I won't be jealous of you or the other 7 or 8 old masters!"

Cheng Shi's angry roar interrupted Aunt Cheng's words. Although she knew that Cheng Shi didn't do anything proper, she rarely saw him angry. Aunt Cheng felt that he was like a mad lion, almost unrecognizable by his loved ones.

All the customers nearby looked over. The entire hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard very quietly. Aunt Cheng didn't stay there any longer. She picked up her bag and walked out. At first, she was a little worried, wanting to turn around and see if he was alright, but then she thought about who he was! Something had happened to him? It was best not to think too much of it, lest it add to the jokes of others.

After Aunt Cheng left, Cheng Shi called for a waiter and ordered a bottle of strong liquor for drinking. Watching the customers at the side, the eyes of the customers all went straight to the point. There were a few young ladies who still hadn't left even after eating. They were all enjoying themselves there. How hard would it be for a man of his looks and charisma and character to meet him once?

After a while, Cheng Shi felt dizzy. He picked up the phone and called Li Zhongxin. Then Li Zhongxin rushed over at top speed, carried the sleeping Cheng Shi and walked out. This made the girls, who were just enjoying the show, happy for a while.

Aunt Cheng had finally gotten married in July, and Cheng Hanlong had finally met Gong Zhi that day. In terms of appearance, he really was one rank lower than his father. Although Gong Zhi had emigrated to the south, he was like a true southerner. His stature could not be considered short, but he was very skinny and his appearance was somewhat thin. Coupled with the wounds on his face, he gave off a weak feeling.

He didn't know how such a person could give his mother a sense of security, Cheng Hanlong thought, but he still had a good impression of Gong Zhi. Although his family's condition was ordinary, it was obvious that he still doted on his mother. He didn't want her to do anything, so he spoke slowly, unlike his father, who cared about words like gold and hurt others whenever he spoke them.

"He really looks like Cheng Shi. When he grows up, there must be many girls who like him."

This was the first thing Gong Zhi and Cheng Hanlong said after meeting each other. Cheng Hanlong called him uncle with a smile, which was a form of courtesy.

In fact, he felt quite awkward at the wedding, so he didn't squeeze in with the others and just sat quietly on a stool in the back room with Cheng Cheng. Listening to the sounds of congratulations outside and seeing the completely unfamiliar Southern cuisine in front of him, Cheng Hanlong felt suffocated and uncomfortable. He wanted to run home immediately. Even if there was no sign of his mother, it was still better than being an extra person in a strange place.

Only Cheng Hanlong and Cheng Cheng were left on the plane. Aunt Cheng didn't leave until she could no longer send them off.

On the plane, due to flying sickness, Cheng Cheng had changed from his initial excitement from flying on the plane to a dazed look as he leaned against the seat. Cheng Hanlong carried him onto his lap and hugged him as if he was hugging a treasure, and Cheng Cheng said something in a daze that Cheng Hanlong didn't hear clearly.

When they got home, they put him on the bed and fed him some medicine to calm him down. Cheng Hanlong looked at him for a long time. Finally, he gave him a kiss on the cheek and whispered, "You have to be fine, otherwise, I will be the only one left in the family." Then he quietly walked out.

Cheng Hanlong walked into Aunt Cheng's room. It didn't change at all, so Cheng Hanlong knew he was still missing something.

He saw the family photo on the bedside table. He was only four years old at the time, and Aunt Cheng's eyes were full of smiles. His father was still as lazy as ever, wearing a small bald head like an electric light bulb. He could not remember such an unforgettable moment.

Cheng Hanlong smiled bitterly, put down the photo and picked up a plastic cup beside him.

It was the cup that he used to hang for his mother at home every day when he was young. At that time, his mother always had stomach problems when she drank cold water early in the morning after school, so he would cook some hot water for her every day just in time for his mother to come home. After the water dispenser was set up at home, the cup was no longer needed, but Aunt Cheng still kept it.

There were still many things in the room, including Aunt Cheng's warm quilt. Cheng Hanlong hugged it and felt that the smell could clearly carry his mother's scent.

"Big brother, big brother!"

Cheng Hanlong heard Cheng Cheng calling him. He put down the blanket and walked to his bedroom. Cheng Cheng was already awake and sitting on the bed, still scratching his face. Every time he woke up, he felt like he couldn't keep his eyes open, so he would scratch his face until there were a lot of red marks on it. Cheng Hanlong didn't know how he got into this habit, so when Cheng Cheng saw him enter, he immediately opened his arms.

"What for?" Cheng Hanlong asked without a trace of gentleness.

"Nothing." Cheng Cheng quickly put down his hands and asked Cheng Hanlong as if he remembered something, "Brother, I felt someone kiss me just now. Is that you?"

"Tch!" Will I kiss you? What's so good about you? And it's dirty and smelly, and I don't have a habit of masochism. "

Upon hearing that, Cheng Cheng hurriedly sniffed his own body and felt no stench. Immediately, he became dissatisfied, "I don't smell anything. You're lying!" Hurry and get Yu Xiaotong to catch you! "

Cheng Hanlong asked curiously, "Who is Yu Xiaotong?" I used to listen to your lectures and talk about him. and bring him out when things go wrong. "

Cheng Cheng said, "Yu Xiaotong is the hero of our class. Usually when we play, no one is willing to work with me, and they keep making me a thief, saying that I can't catch the thief. However, Yu Xiaotong and I will work together, and when he has the final say, he will make me a policeman."

"Really?" "Bring me home some other day, where is there such a blind man?

Cheng Hanlong was curious about the hero in Cheng Cheng's eyes, so Cheng Cheng nodded happily. At this moment, Cheng Hanlong heard the doorbell. Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "I'll go open the door."

As soon as he opened the door, Cheng Cheng saw Cheng Shi standing outside. Cheng Shi still had a little impression of him, Cheng Cheng obviously wouldn't forget Cheng Shi, so he ran behind Cheng Hanlong in a very flustered manner.

Cheng Hanlong walked over and called out for his dad. He quickly opened the door and called for Cheng Shi to come in.

"Where did your mom keep it?" Cheng Shi asked after sitting for a while.

Cheng Hanlong nodded. Since then, Cheng Shi didn't say anything. He just sat on the sofa with empty eyes. Cheng Hanlong poured a glass of water for him and placed it in front of him.

Cheng Shi obviously had some discord with this family. As for the specifics, Cheng Hanlong couldn't explain it. He had clearly bought the house, but now that he had arrived at his own home, it felt like he was a guest. Cheng Hanlong had always wanted to say something to Cheng Shi, but he felt that he couldn't say it because he didn't understand Cheng Shi at all.

Finally, Cheng Shi's phone rang, and he walked out with a serious expression. Cheng Hanlong still accompanied him to the door, stood upstairs, and watched him get on the car in a hurry before leaving. Cheng Hanlong felt that his dad wasn't like Cheng Shi today, but more like an unlucky husband with a green hat.

"Didn't you get injured? "Where?" The moment Cheng Shi returned to Li Zhongxin's residence, he yelled at him, who was still unharmed.

The manager of the bar at the side was stunned for a moment. He thought that this Cheng Shi must have quite the background. He didn't know that Li Zhongxin was just a hoodlum who kept giving him money to let him eat and drink. In order to stop the people beside him from talking, Li Zhongxin barely installed a "4" ranking for him. Usually, he told him to run some small entertainment places or to be in charge of some simple transactions. Most of them were insignificant. However, since Li Zhongxin was willing, no one dared to say anything.

"Director Li, I'll be leaving first. Are you busy? I will report to you when the time comes! " Li Zhongxin nodded. The bar manager looked at Cheng Shi again and then walked away.

"I'm asking you a question!" Cheng Shi continued to shout, while Li Zhongxin stared at him from the side as if he was watching a show.

Cheng Shi recalled how he had ran over in a fluster just now. To think that he had been worried for nothing. Now that he looked at him, he realized that the other party was just toying with him. He was silently cursing himself for being a fool, but this time, he didn't make a fuss. He also felt that it was meaningless to make a ruckus, so he just buried his head into Li Zhongxin's bed and continued his daze at home.

Li Zhongxin hated the state Cheng Shi was in the most. If he caused trouble, Li Zhongxin would know how to treat him. As long as he could not kill himself, Li Zhongxin would feel the air around him become heavy.

"He walked over to the bed and kicked Cheng Shi's outstretched foot." "Get up!" Li Zhongxin was a little impatient, "Who allowed you to lie on my bed?"

Cheng Shi immediately sat up and prepared to leave. Li Zhongxin stopped him, but Cheng Shi insisted on going down. Li Zhongxin crazily tied him up on the bed and tore off his suit along with his pants.

Cheng Shi gave up struggling. He was like a puppet being manipulated by Li Zhongxin. The intense pain made him unable to feel comfortable. When Li Zhongxin shot out, Cheng Shi felt a sense of relief.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Staring at Li Zhongxin's face that was so close to them, Cheng Shi felt like he wanted to make a ruckus, wanted to hit Li Zhongxin, wanted to provoke his face to become emotional, even if it was just out of anger. Because if that was the case, he saw at least a hint of it: there were some things, not just material, but also spiritual.
