When He Smiles

Chi Zheng said that she was already sitting next to Meng Hang, and she was stunned.

"Which one do you want to play?" he asked Meng Hang.

The little boy blinked at Chi Zheng, then blinked at Meng Shengnan.

"sister."

She recovered, Xiao Hang pursed her lips and asked, "Can I play?"

Chi Zheng also looked over.

"Can you?" he asked.

She did not speak, Chi Zheng already looked at Meng Hang.

"Your sister said yes."

Meng Shengnan: "..."

Then, Chi Zheng took the phone out of his pocket and clicked on a game. He talked and taught, and one year and one student quickly went into battle. Meng Shengnan couldn't tell what he was feeling, and he seemed to be okay. She sighed lightly, and put her hand on her chin to watch the opposite guys playing.

Meng Hang seemed to be serious: "What should I do if it is about to catch me?"

"such."

Chi Zheng held his hand and swayed the phone from side to side, "Go into the door on the left and make a surprise attack from behind."

"brother."

"Ok?"

"What is a surprise attack?"

Meng Shengnan bent his eyes and smiled.

Chi Zheng licked his lower lip: "It's—"

He suddenly raised his eyes to look at Meng Shengnan, then said with a narrow smile.

"Sister explain."

Meng Shengnan: "..."

Meng Hang also looked at her, "Sister."

She glanced at the young and the young who were staring at her, and cleared her throat.

"Just, by surprise," she was thinking about the word, "offensive."

"sister."

"Ok?"

"What is surprise?"

Chi Zheng put one hand on Meng Hang's shoulder and knocked on the table with the other hand, his eyes darkened.

"Unexpectedly is—"

She avoided his scorching gaze and looked at Xiao Hang.

"While others are not paying attention--"

Before she finished her words, she felt her neck tremble in a moment of warmth and warmth. When I looked up, I saw Meng Hang giggling and Chi Zhengmo rubbed his fingertips. He glanced at her, tilted his head slightly and said to Xiao Hang, "This is a surprise."

Meng Shengnan: "..."

Meng Hang was happier, "Brother."

"Ok."

"I think you are a bit familiar."

Chi Zheng rubbed his hair, "Really."

Meng Hang nodded heavily.

"me too."

Meng Hang's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Chi Zheng laughed, "Yeah."

Meng Shengnan suddenly felt that he was a bit redundant, as if he couldn't insert a word at all. She raised her eyes to look out the window, then turned back. Chi Zheng was raising his eyes to look at her, and Meng Shengnan's heart jumped and he staggered his eyes. He also found something out of his head like a lifesaver, and asked Meng Hang.

"Don't you need to go to kindergarten this afternoon?"

Meng Hang was playing a game without raising his head.

"Sister, you're asking if it's a bit late now."

Meng Shengnan: "..."

Chi Zheng is funny.

"I will be off for summer vacation on Wednesday." Xiao Hang pouted.

Meng Shengnan: "..."

She sighed inwardly, wishing she couldn't get out of the quilt. Opposite Meng Hang asked Chi Zheng again, and the man was talking in a gentle voice. The sun fell on the surroundings, giving off a halo. Suddenly, Meng Shengnan had the illusion that his age was just right, and when he looked over again, she hurriedly tilted her head.

After a long time, they should leave.

Meng Hang was still a little bit reluctant, and he didn't let go of Chi Zheng's hand. He picked up the little boy, she followed, and the three of them came out of Dicos. With his motorcycle parked on the side of the street, Meng Hang saw a "wow", "It's so cool."

She was about to speak when Meng Hang asked Chi Zheng.

"Brother, is this your car?"

"Yeah." Chi Zheng smiled.

Meng Shengnan had a headache about what Meng Hang would do next. He stretched out his hand and took him from his arms, "Xiao Hang, brother will be busy for a while--"

"It's okay." He took over.

Meng Shengnan looked at him.

Xiao Hang asked, "Brother, can I sit?"

"Yes, yes, but," Chi Zheng raised his eyebrows, his gaze fell on her face, "have to ask your sister whether he agrees?"

Meng Hang looked at her pitifully.

"sister--"

Meng Shengnan: "..."

On the motorcycle, the little boy couldn't be happier, sitting in the middle of the two of them, looking around. He was riding very slowly, she held Meng Hang and her eyes fell on the back of his head. The time is very slow, and there is a wind blowing in my ears. His hair was cut short, and his sideburns were white. The neck is straight and the back is broad. The gray short sleeves were blown up by the wind, and the black letter H tattoo on the right shoulder was still dazzling.

He walked along the edge of the street.

After passing the crossroads, Meng Hang shouted to pee. Looking around, just not far from his shop, Chi Zheng directly rode the bike over. The store door was closed, he stopped the car, carried Meng Hang down to open the store door. A small side door opened to the wall next to the table next to the cubicle, which should lead to the tenant's back room. She wanted to follow in but was stopped by Meng Hang's hand.

"Sister, there is a difference between men and women."

Meng Shengnan didn't mention it, Chi Zheng smiled.

"Okay, you are waiting outside."

After he finished speaking, he took Meng Hang in and closed the door lightly with his backhand. Meng Shengnan bypassed the glass cabinet and walked to the door to wait. There were hardly many people on this street. After a while, there was a sound of opening and closing doors behind him. She looked back, Meng Hang was holding a small toy car in his hand and sitting by the bed playing.

Chi Zheng came out.

Meng Shengnan: "You bought it?"

He said ‘um’.

"I haven't seen you come out."

Chi Zheng bent his lips, "The streets on both sides are open, and the back room is past."

She obediently said ‘oh’.

Quiet for a while and no words. She leaned against the door and looked at the avenue outside the street, with cars coming and going. The voice of the man beside him was light: "What are you looking at?"

Meng Shengnan shook his head, "I don't know."

He looked at her profile, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Is school busy at ordinary times?"

Meng Shengnan: "It's okay."

"Come and write stories?" He raised his eyes.

Her eyelids twitched, "It's okay."

Chi Zheng's eyes were dark, as if to see her through. He took a cigarette out of his pocket and held it in his mouth, but he didn't light it, and looked down at her.

"Meng Shengnan?"

She sideways gave a light ‘ah’.

"Can you say anything other than these two words?"

Meng Shengnan: "..."

He chuckled briefly, and Meng Shengnan looked away, turning his head uncomfortably. After a few seconds, Chi Zheng's voice was not hurried or slow.

"Lu Sibei is right."

She was surprised that he suddenly mentioned, "Huh?"

Chi Zheng's eyes are piercing.

He just said the word ‘you’ when his cell phone was ringing. Chi Zheng glanced at her, took down the cigarette and answered the phone. I don’t know what the person over there said. With a ‘um’, he looked at her gaze and said, “I’ll be there in a while.

When he closed the line, she asked, "Are you busy?"

Chi Zheng: "There is a problem with the computer over there, I have to go over and lie down."

She finished listening to ‘oh’.

"Then I will take Xiao Hang back first."

Chi Zheng raised his eyebrows: "You seem to be anxious?"

"Yes?"

She dodged her eyes, Chi Zheng said nothing. Meng Shengnan turned his head to look at the store's bedside who was about to call Xiaohang, and was stunned. The little boy is holding the car in his arms, and his feet are still hanging by the bed. The man is already lying on the bed and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Meng Shengnan was about to step over, but he was holding his wrist.

"Stop calling," he said.

The rough fingertips rubbed against her skin, and Meng Shengnan was stunned.

Chi Zheng looked down.

"Let him sleep, I'll be back later to take you back."

After speaking, without giving her a chance to speak, she let go and turned around and walked to the motorcycle. He didn't get in immediately, but pushed the car to the corner of the street and rode away. Meng Shengnan kept looking at the direction he was leaving and sighed slowly. On the bed, Xiao Hang was sleeping soundly. She took a piece of his short sleeves from the side of the bed and put it on Xiao Hang's stomach.

It was very hot, she sat at the foot of the bed and fanned the little boy with her hands.

He glanced across the compartment, and there was nothing but a big bed. Some clothes and pants were piled up by the bed, and they seemed to be changed. There is always a smell in a man's bed, she can't tell but she doesn't feel uncomfortable. After a while, Xiao Hang stopped sweating. She got up and searched for all his dirty clothes on the bed, opened the small side door and entered the rented house. Surrounded by five or six floors.

She looked for the bathroom with her clothes, and Qi Qiao's phone suddenly came over.

"Where are you?"

Meng Shengnan's voice was a little low for fear of arguing with the tenant.

"I'm with Xiao Hang in the bookstore."

"Feng Shui Terrace? Which bookstore?"

For the first time she bothered this woman to get to the bottom.

"It will be inconvenient, I will call you later."

She hung up the phone and sighed.

Then I looked up, eight or nine small houses on each floor were full. The roof is covered with a layer of plastic panels, so the sun can't get in. She found the bathroom on the first floor, stuffed all the clothes into the basin and washed them by hand. It was four or five o'clock, and the surrounding area was very quiet.

At that time, it was hotter outside.

Chi Zheng entered an Internet cafe, it was a regular customer. More than a dozen computers suddenly stopped using, and he repaired it for some time before restarting. When it was repaired and went out, the sky gradually dimmed. He glanced at the time, it was half past six.

When I returned to the shop, it was quiet inside.

He walked into the cubicle around the aisle by the wall, and suddenly laughed silently. The woman on the bed puts one hand on the back of the child, her face is peaceful. A pair of his gray short sleeves was worn on the two of them, and they slept just right. He didn't say a word, leaning against the table and watching.

There was movement outside the door, and he turned his head.

Shi Jin had already walked in, and was about to speak, when Chi Zheng's index finger pressed to his mouth and made a "hush". Shi Jin was curious and looked inside. Hey, happy. Chi Zheng hurried out from inside and pulled Shi Jin to the street outside the store, Shi Jin smirked.

"When did it happen?"

Chi Zheng glanced lightly.

Shi Jin: "That kid has to be five years old, you can really do it without telling me for so long."

Chi Zheng took a cigarette into his mouth, lowered his head and nodded.

"That's her brother."

Shi Jin: "Damn, I thought it was your kind."

Chi Zheng raised his eyes and snorted with a smile.

"That woman, I'm not bad, when did you think about it?"

Chi Zheng was smoking a cigarette without speaking.

"Speaking of which, how does it feel?"

Chi Zheng bit the back alveolar.

"How many times did you do it?"

Chi Zheng was cold-eyed and took down the cigarette.

"Follow me and get out."

Shi Jin laughed and laughed, "It seems that I really care about you."

Chi Zheng didn't say anything, and after a while, he smiled.

Shi Jin couldn't bear to look directly.

"by."

Chi Zheng smiled faintly, and drove Shi Jin away after smoking a cigarette.

"The car stays."

Shi Jin's tearful eyes.

There seemed to be vague voices in the room, and Chi Zheng took a cigarette and returned to the store. Xiao Hang just woke up and thought he was at home. Meng Shengnan was coaxing. She looked up at Chi Zheng, which might be a bit embarrassing.

"When did you come back?"

Chi Zheng smiled lightly: "Just now."

She said ‘oh’.

"Are you hungry, go out to eat?"

Meng Shengnan shook his head and smiled.

"No, my mother just called, go back and eat."

Chi Zheng went into the bed and picked up Xiao Hang, then looked at her again.

"Let's go, I'll see you off."

"Do not--"

He has gone far.

Helpless, Meng Shengnan followed him obediently, watching him close the store. The Big Dipper van was parked at the entrance of the street, and she was sitting in the co-pilot with Xiao Hang in her arms. The little boy was not very awake yet, lying in her arms and blinking still.

The sky is dark and the neon lights are on.

The car was quiet, only breathing. Neither of them said much, Meng Shengnan kept looking sideways at the window. He turned the steering wheel and looked ahead. In less than 30 minutes, she arrived at the alley of her house. She took Xiao Hang out of the car and thanked him.

He said faintly, "No need."

"Be careful on the road."

On the street, she watched him drive a long distance before bringing Xiao Hang home. I simply ate a bit and went back to the room, suddenly remembering that I had forgotten to tell him the clothes were hanging in the aisle of the rental house. She couldn't sleep in the dead of night. Get up and stand by the window sill, looking at the dark night outside. After a long time of thinking, I don't know if he has fallen asleep.
