A Real Man Isn’t Afraid of a Little Demon

After I got home, I made dinner simple because I was very tired today. Xie Xingmu cooked three bowls of noodles, covered with poached eggs and green vegetables and shrimp, and greeted Yu Chu and Chi Duoduo who were watching TV.

"Can you replace the greens, uncle, don't put greens on my noodles in the future." Chi Duoduo complained dissatisfiedly, and poked the two greens with a small fork.

Xie Xingmu asked while removing his apron, "What's the cover?"

"Cover a candy or ice cream." Chi Duoduo rolled her round eyes.

"You want to be beautiful, eat quickly, and don't allow any leftovers."

Yu Chu sat down opposite Xie Xingmu, picked up a few noodles and fed them to his mouth, Xie Xingmu looked up at him and asked, "How does it taste? Is it delicious?"

Yu Chu didn't answer, just looked at him with eyes like a puddle of water, with noodles, bit by bit, slowly biting into his mouth.

Xie Xingmu really stopped eating noodles and looked at him with chopsticks.

Yu Chu ate all the noodles into his mouth, then stuck out his tongue and licked around his upper lip.

Clap.

Xie Xingmu's chopsticks fell on the table.

"Uncle, hahahaha, uncle, you can't even hold chopsticks."

Eat quickly, not a single green vegetable is allowed to be left."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, went back to the kitchen to change a pair of chopsticks, and when he came out again, he used the chopsticks to order Yu Chu's bowl: "You too, eat noodles well, don't do anything else Yes, green vegetables are not allowed to be left."

He looked very natural, as if nothing had happened just now.

The ambiguity in the air was swept away, Yu Chu pouted and started eating noodles honestly.

"Remember what I asked you last time?" Xie Xingmu suddenly asked.

"What's the matter?"

Xie Xingmu stirred the noodles with chopsticks and said, "It's about taking you to school."

"I don't want to go to school." Yu Chu muttered.

Chi Duoduo also whispered: "I don't want to go to school either."

"You have no right to object." Xie Xingmu said to Yu Chu coldly, "I will hire a tutor for you to make up for a year of class."

“…Why do you make up lessons?”

"Go to the college entrance examination."

Yu Chu put down his chopsticks and protested with a sullen face: "I won't go to the college entrance examination."

"Then what do you want to do in the future? Have a banquet? Or go to gamble?" Xie Xingmu took a green vegetable from his bowl and threw it into his bowl.

"Who told you to be so backward in technology? You don't even have smart people, otherwise I can make skins for smart people." Yu Chu also sneered.

Chi Duoduo's eyes brightened: "Xiao Chu, is Ultraman an intelligent person? I have two, you can make skins for him."

Xie Xingmu gasped like a toothache: "If you don't want to study for the college entrance examination, what else do you want to do? Let's hear it. You are not allowed to mention intelligent people."

Yu Chu thought for a while and said, "I want to make a cake."

"Pastry chef?" Xie Xingmu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, pastry chef, I'll go and see what training classes are available, and send you to study for a while."

Chi Duoduo's eyes brightened: "Little Chu, you want to make a cake, chocolate cake is delicious."

Yu Chu turned his head and glanced at him, picked up his chopsticks, and threw the green vegetables that Xie Xingmugang gave him into his small bowl.

Chi Duoduo stared at his bowl of noodles, looking like he had been struck by lightning, and looked up at Xie Xingmu in despair.

Xie Xingmu pretended not to see it, so Chi Duoduo had to eat green vegetables aggrieved.

When Xie Xingmu ate up the big bowl of noodles, Chi Duoduo bit his chopsticks and said, "Uncle, I'm full, but I can't eat the rest."

Xie Xingmu glanced at his noodle bowl and felt that it was almost done, so he said, "Then don't eat it, go brush your teeth and play again."

"Yeah." Chi Duoduo happily got off the table.

Xie Xingmu picked up the half bowl of noodles that Chi Duoduo had left, and looked at Yu Chu who was also biting his chopsticks: "You can't eat it?"

"Yeah." Yu Chu nodded.

This bowl of noodles is indeed a bit too much, and it is also covered with poached eggs. He really can't finish it.

"Ah, what are you doing?" Yu Chu was shocked when he saw his action.

Xie Xingmu took a mouthful of noodles and said, "I'm not full yet, so it happens that you two have enough leftovers for me to eat."

"But that's what's left of us."

Xie Xingmu asked strangely, "What's the matter? You two are not outsiders."

After saying this, she ate it in a big mouthful.

Yu Chu sat across from the dining table and watched, remembering that you two are not outsiders, her heart thumped uncontrollably, and the corners of her lips turned up.

After dinner, the three went downstairs for a walk. Walking on the deserted boulevard, Chi Duoduo held Xie Xingmu in one hand and Yu Chu in the other.

The sun hadn't set yet, but a few stars were already hanging in the sky. Yu Chu looked up at the sky and felt that her heart had never been quiet before.

Xie Xingmu took off a broken leaf on Chi Duoduo's head and asked, "Xiao Chu, can you help me pick up and drop off more these days?"

"Where are you going?" Yu Chu asked immediately.

Xie Xingmu laughed: "If you don't go anywhere, you just have a new case at hand. You will be very busy these days, and you may not be able to go home."

"Oh. Okay." Yu Chu responded with enduring loss.

Xie Xingmu said: "The security level of my door lock is very high. As long as you go out, you can take a taxi. Don't go out alone when it's dark, you'll be fine."

"Got it."

When they arrived at a small forest, Chi Duoduo released their hands and jumped to pick up leaves. Yu Chu was about to follow, when Xie Xingmu beside him suddenly said, "Don't move."

After saying that, he squatted down and went to tie his loose shoelaces.

"...Your shoelaces were loose and slipped easily, you see, look at my technique, go around like this, then wear it down, okay, like this It is very strong and the knot will not loosen..."

Yu Chu stood still, looking down at the top of Xie Xingmu's hair. The thick hair looked hard and tangled, reminding him of what he had heard, saying that people with this kind of hair are hard-hearted.

Are you hard-hearted?

This is clearly incorrect.

Because she had to send Duduoduo to school the next day, Yu Chu set the alarm on her phone tonight. When the bell rang, I just heard the door closing.

Xie Xingmu just went out.

Yu Chu stood up and looked down from the window. After a while, I watched the off-road vehicle drive out from the exit of the underground garage and out of the gate of the community.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the trace of the car that he looked away, changed his pajamas, and washed. After packing myself up, I went to the children's room to wake up Chi Duoduo.

Chi Duoduo was taken out of the bed by him, sat on the edge of the bed wearing a bear pajamas, and greeted sleepily: "Xiao Chu..." Then he fell back, wanting to continue sleeping.

Yu Chu grabbed him, went to get the clothes that Xie Xingmu had put on the chair in advance, put them into his hands, and said, "Duo Duo, change your clothes quickly."

Chi Duoduo squinted at the clothes, and said: "Well, change clothes."

Yu Chu stood beside the bed, watching Chi Duoduo tugging at her pajamas, and asked, "Can't you wear clothes?"

"Yes." Chi Duoduo tried to pull the pajama collar up his head, his face was deformed.

Yu Chu was a little suspicious: "Do you usually wear it yourself?"

"My uncle gave me clothes." Chi Duoduo said with difficulty.

I still can't wear clothes.

The child's body is very soft, and the clothes are not easy to wear. Yu Chu took a lot of effort to dress him well, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Then took him to the bathroom to wash up, squeezed toothpaste on the children's toothbrush, and caught sight of Chi Duoduo holding the crew neck of the T-shirt with his hands, twisting his neck from side to side.

"What's wrong? Is your neck uncomfortable?" Yu Chu asked him.

Chi Duoduo said, "I think it's weird here."

"Don't move, I'll take a look." Yu Chu put down his toothbrush and touched his neckline, and found that the front and back of the clothes were wrong, and there were some hoops around his neck.

Then put the clothes on again.

After washing up, out of the bathroom, Yu Chu found that breakfast was already on the dining table, which should have been prepared by Xie Xingmu early in the morning.

There are porridge, milk, custard buns and fried eggs. There were also two empty bowls with clean chopsticks on them.

After breakfast, they packed their bags and went out. Yu Chu took out his mobile phone to check the time, and found that Xie Xingmu had sent him four messages in total.

The first is a transfer of 2,000 yuan, followed by a voice. After Yu Chu clicked on it, Xie Xingmu's voice came out: I have made your lunch and put it in the refrigerator I don't have time to cook dinner, so you two will go out to eat. This is the cost of meals and taxis for the past few days. Go to a good restaurant, clean and hygienic, and don't eat hamburgers after a while. Be sure to take a taxi when you go out, don't walk around alone, and call me if there is any abnormality.

Then there was another transfer of 5,000 yuan, followed by a voice: This is your pocket money, don’t spend it randomly, don’t use it for gambling, every transaction must be reported to me, Let me know if it's not enough.

Yu Chu seemed to see Xie Xingmu speaking when he was talking about these two pieces of information.

He smiled and nodded.

I went out of the gate of the community, stopped a taxi, and arrived at the kindergarten just in time, not late. Yu Chu led Chi Duoduo to the door of his classroom, but Chi Duoduo didn't go in, but stood there and didn't move.

"Aren't you going in?" Yu Chu asked.

Chi Duoduo said, "Xiao Chu, you haven't kissed me yet. Every time my uncle takes me into the classroom, he will kiss me."

He nodded his forehead.

Yu Chu looked at him for two seconds, then leaned down and touched his forehead with his lips.

Chi Duoduo happily entered the classroom and said loudly, "Little Chu, come pick me up this afternoon."

"Got it."

Yu Chu was watching TV dramas at home. He was hungry at noon. He remembered what Xie Xingmu had said to make lunch, so he went to open the refrigerator and saw a plate of beef curry rice sealed with plastic wrap, with a sticker on it. Post-it note: Put it in the microwave for two minutes on high heat.

Staring at the line of dragons and phoenixes for a few seconds, Yu Chu took out his mobile phone again and sent Xie Xingmu a Tusky **** twist.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Xie Xingmu didn't wait for the message to reply, obviously busy, Yu Chu put away the phone, put the rice in the microwave, and set the time for two minutes.

Ding.

The sound of a good meal and the phone message sounded at the same time, Yu Chu quickly took out his phone and saw that Xie Xingmu had returned the message.

Xie Xingmu: Have you eaten yet?

A smile appeared on Yu Chu's face, he turned on the microwave oven, photographed the rice inside, and sent it to the past.

Xie Xingmu: There are pickles I made myself on the table. I'm busy, don't forget to pick up Duoduo, the green plants on the top floor are watered, I forgot these days.

As soon as Yu Chu replied "Yes", he saw Xie Xingmu also sent a Tusky and twisted his ass, he immediately clicked on the emoji bar and sent a Tusky swinging from side to side.

Xie Xingmu sent Tusky scratching the wall, Yu Chu sent it to Tusky hugging the bottle and kissing, and Tusky flew out red hearts.

Xie Xingmu didn't move anymore, it was time to go to work, Yu Chu brought the meal to the table, opened the sealed bottle on the table, and took out the pickles from the inside to eat.

In the afternoon, he had already watched the latest episodes of several TV series, played with his phone for a while, and went to the top floor to water the green plants that Xie Xingmu said.

Xie Xingmu opened a small garden at the corner of the top floor platform. Yu Chu didn't pay attention to it. He only knew that it was lush and green. Now when he was carrying a small bucket to water it, he realized what was there. Green plants are all vegetables.

Some of the dishes Yu Chu did not know, but he recognized the shallots, peppers and tomatoes. The peppers were growing very well, and the tomatoes were green and red, and they were about to ripen.

Xie Xingmu's house is cleaned twice a week by the housekeeping aunt. I think the housekeeping aunt took care of these dishes when he was in Xingyuan Island.

Yu Chu thought it was a little funny, so he took pictures of this vegetable field and sent it to Xie Xingmu: Is this a green plant? What are you planting these for?

He knew that Xie Xingmu was busy, and he never thought of asking him to return the message. After sending it, he entered the vegetable field and squatted down to water the vegetables.

I didn't expect Xie Xingmu to come back.

Xie Xingmu: These vegetables have no pesticides, so I grow them to eat more. Alright, I'm busy.

Yu Chu wanted to say that he was busy, so he didn't reply to the message, but when he thought that he wanted to reply to the message again, he put away his mobile phone.

As a result, just after the phone was put away, news came from Xie Xingmu.

Xie Xingmu: I have observed a small cucumber for several days. It should be able to eat today. You can pick it up and eat it.

Xie Xingmu: Don't say it, I'm really busy.

Yu Chu stared at the screen for a while this time, making sure that Xie Xingmu did not send any more messages before putting away the phone and starting to look for the little cucumber. Finally, I found the shadow of a cucumber behind a clump of green leaves, hanging tenderly in the air.

He carefully picked the cucumber, only rubbed it on his clothes twice, took a bite, and the fresh and tender cucumber scent filled his mouth.

When it was almost time, he set off to pick up Duoduoduo, there were already many adults waiting to pick up the child at the entrance of the kindergarten, so he stood inside and stared at the closed carved flower iron gate.

When the school bell rang, the security guard opened the iron gate, and the grandparents trotted inside, like a small torrent, and Yu Chu also trotted inside with the flow of people.

The children had packed their schoolbags and sat obediently in their seats. The teacher stood at the door of the classroom, recognized an adult and called the children out.

There were more than a dozen parents in front of Yu Chu. When he moved forward slowly, he looked into the classroom from the glass window, and saw Duoduo at a glance.

Chi Duoduo sat down in the seat with his head down, his head drooping, and at first glance he looked unhappy.

When Yu Chu sent Chi Duoduo to school in the morning, the teacher had already seen him, so after seeing him, he immediately called out to the classroom: "Chi Duoduo."

Chi Duoduo looked up and saw Yu Chu, a smile appeared on his face.

Yu Chu led Chi Duoduo out of the school, avoiding the surrounding crowd, and asked, "Did you fight today?"

Chi Duoduo said: "I didn't fight, it's not right to fight."

Yu Chu glanced down at him and said lightly, "That's just being beaten, you didn't fight back?"

Chi Duoduo pouted.

"Didn't your uncle teach you how to fight?" Yu Chu suddenly became angry and asked with a sullen face.

"No, my uncle told me not to fight, tell him when something happens, and he goes to fight with other children's fathers." Chi Duoduo lowered his head, "But I dare not say it, I I'm afraid he'll kill other people's children's fathers."

Yu Chu:…

Yu Chu remembered Xie Xingmu's order not to eat hamburgers, and immediately wanted to refuse, but Chi Duoduo looked at himself with hope, hesitated, and said, "I can take you to eat hamburgers, but you I can't tell your uncle."

"Okay, I won't tell him." Chi Duoduo said happily.

The two went to a nearby fast food restaurant, bought a lot of food and piled up the table, and Chi Duoduo filled his mouth with tomato sauce, took a potato fries and asked Yu Chu: "Xiao Chu, Are you afraid of my uncle?"

Yu Chu lowered his head and sipped his cola, and replied without raising his eyes, "Not afraid."

Chi Duoduo doesn't quite believe it: "Then tell me not to tell him."

Yu Chu lifted his eyelids and glanced at him: "That's because I'm afraid he'll be long-winded, you know?"

After dinner, I took a taxi home. Yu Chu took Chi Duoduo to the fitness area on the top floor, moved his neck and said, "Chi Duoduo, come here, I'll teach you how to fight."

& nbsp; Act hands."

"Is that so? Wouldn't that count as a fight?"

"No, it's called defense."

"What is the...?"

"It wasn't a fight anyway."

Chi Duoduo happily trotted over: "Okay, then I'll learn, Xiao Chu, you teach me."

Yu Chu taught very seriously, it was not too late at all, she was just a five-year-old child: "See, grab my two arms and sweep my calf with my feet... I reach out to you, you After grabbing my arm, turn around and put your back against my chest... You are all children, so you can hold it..."

After Yu Chu finished teaching, he let him practice, and when the practice was over, he taught him some means of self-defense.

"If a bad guy strangles your neck like this, you will bite down on his hand... Of course it's not for you to deal with children, it's a bad guy, a bad guy, understand?"

Chi Duo Duo, who was completely naked, hugged it in.

He squeezed out a ball of shampoo and rubbed it on Chi Duoduo's head. Chi Duoduo lowered his head and pinched the duckling. When he was about to get the spray head, he heard Chi Duoduo suddenly call him: "Little Chu."

Not waiting for Yu Chu to answer, he said to himself: "Xiao Chu, you won't leave me, will you? You and I, and uncle, we have been together forever."

Yu Chu stopped and asked, "Do you really want us to be together?"

"Well, the three of us have to be together all the time." Chi Duoduo said seriously.

Yu Chu felt a strange soft emotion in his heart, which made him suddenly a little overwhelmed, he gently twisted the hair in his hand, and after a while he said in a low voice: "Okay, we The three have been together."

"Then you have to say what you say, you can't sneak away."

Yu Chu asked strangely, "Why should I sneak away?"

"You are the cat that my uncle gave me, and the cat of my roommate sneaked away, so don't run." Chi Duoduo said.

"I am the cat that your uncle gave you?" Yu Chu thought for a while before he realized, "Don't you know what a cat looks like?"

"I know." Chi Duoduo lowered his head and patted his belly.

"Then I don't look like a cat at all."

Chi Duoduo retorted: "Like, after the cat in Mimi's wandering story becomes a human, it looks very similar to you."

The soft emotion in Yu Chu's heart was swept away, turned on the nozzle to flush out the foam on Chi Duoduo's body, covered it with a bath towel, and carried it back to the children's room.

"Xiao Chu, can I still—"

Yu Chu interrupted coldly: "No."
