The time of the city

Song Fei woke up near dusk. She turned her head and saw Xiao Hecheng not far away. He was painting intently in front of the drawing board.

His back was to her, and Song Fei could only see the slightest glimpse of his profile. He was wearing a light blue plaid shirt, his wrists loosely rolled up, his beautiful fingers deftly sketching lines on the drawing paper.

His back is thick and solid, with a proud and tenacious spine. He has the freshness and carefreeness of a teenager, and at the same time, the sense of security of a man.

It would be great if I could see him every day when I wake up, Song Fei thought.

"Are you awake?" Xiao Hecheng turned his head and met Song Fei's affectionate and nostalgic eyes.

"I just woke up. Thank you Hecheng for taking me home."

"It's okay, I took you to the hospital. The doctor said you only had external injuries and fainted due to emotional excitement. This is the medicine the doctor prescribed for you. Just apply it yourself." Xiao Hecheng took a tube of ointment from the table and handed it to Song Fei.

Song Fei took the opportunity to hug Xiao Hecheng, buried her head in his arms, and breathed in his unique fragrance. "Hecheng, you are so good to me. Fortunately, I still have you."

Faced with Song Fei's sudden action, Xiao Hecheng was frightened and panicked. He took her hand away and took several steps back. "You...what are you doing? It's okay, just go home so that your family won't worry."

"No one will worry about me. I'm just an orphan. You're all I have in Hecheng."

"Don't try to rely on others. You should try to be strong on your own. If you hate the darkness you are in now, work hard to become the light you want to be."

"Then Hecheng will be my light, okay?" Song Fei ignored the pain in her body, got off the bed, and walked barefoot in front of Xiao Hecheng.

Xiao Hecheng just looked at her without saying a word, without any expression on his face, calm and without a ripple.

"Hecheng, I like you. The first time I saw you, I felt that we were alike. Let's be together." Seeing that he still didn't respond, she held his hand tightly, her emotions becoming more and more excited. "Hecheng, can you answer me? Come pick me up, take me to the hospital, take me home. You like me a little bit, right?"

He shook off her hand and said, "Song Fei, I only treat you as a friend. Please don't misunderstand me. You can leave after you have a good rest. I have something else to do, so I'll go out first." After saying that, he left without a trace of warmth.

"Hecheng, Hecheng!" No matter how much Song Fei shouted, Xiao Hecheng did not stop and walked forward without looking back.

In City A, Mo Yu had breakfast early in the morning and felt bored, so she decided to take a walk in the garden. As soon as she stepped into the garden, she heard a few faint bird calls.

Mo Yu followed the sound and found a baby bird under a big tree deep in the garden. Its wings had not yet fully grown and it had very little feathers on its body.

"Where is your mother? Did she accidentally fall out of the nest?" Mo Yu stood up and looked at the tree. Her neck was sore from looking, but she didn't see any bird's nest on the tree.

The baby bird on the ground kept chirping. Mo Yu didn't dare touch it with her hands. She could only squat in front of it and whisper, "Are you hungry? But I don't know what you like to eat. Oh, and call your brother. He's so smart, he'll definitely know."

Mo Yu immediately stood up and ran back to the house, picked up her phone and called Ni Jiamu. The call was answered almost immediately. "What's up, little lazy bum?"

"Brother, I found a baby bird in the garden. I don't know where its mother went. It seems very hungry now, and I don't know what it likes to eat. What should I do?"

Facing Mo Yu's nagging on the other end of the phone, Ni Jiamu was particularly happy. It was great that the first person his baby thought of when something happened was him. "I'll be back soon. Don't touch the baby bird. Keep an eye on it so that a wild cat won't eat it."

"Will it be in danger? Then I will go and protect it immediately. Brother, I will wait for you to come back." After saying that, Mo Yu moved a small stool and sat in front of the baby bird, staring at it without blinking.

A moment later, a whistle sounded in the yard. Mo Yu stood up and shouted excitedly, "Brother, I protected the baby bird very well!"

"My Xiaoyu is so great." Ni Jiamu came to the garden with Xiaoxue in his hand.

"Did you bring Xiaoxue back home?" Mo Yu ran over to Ni Jiamu, squatted down, hugged Xiaoxue's head, and kissed her several times. Xiaoxue wagged her tail excitedly. Ni Jiamu looked at this scene and sighed. He had never envied a dog so much in his life.

"No one is taking care of it in the US. Xiaoxue was brought here this morning. I was planning to bring it back after get off work, but now I'm leaving get off work early?"

"Xiaoxue, do you miss me? I'll buy you some beef jerky." Seeing Xiaoxue, Mo Yu completely forgot about the baby bird, if she hadn't heard the sound of a bird chirping behind her.

"Ah, brother, come and see the baby bird." Mo Yu pulled Ni Jiamu to the front of the bird, and Xiaoxue followed, gently touching the bird with her paws. Faced with the huge creature in front of them, the baby bird was scared and kept screaming, and Xiaoxue was so excited that her tail was about to turn into a windmill.

Ni Jiamu took out a tissue from his bag and gently placed the bird on the tissue. "Xiaoyu, let's bring the baby bird into the house."

"Okay." Mo Yu followed Ni Jiamu and looked at the baby bird in his big hands with a smile on her face.

After entering the house, Ni Jiamu put the bird on the coffee table, then went to the kitchen and took out a plate with vegetable leaves, corn, egg yolks and other food on it.

"Brother, you brought a lot of food. Today, Baby Bird can have a buffet!"

Ni Jiamu placed the plate in front of the bird and said, "Xiaoyu, let's stay away, otherwise the baby bird won't dare to come forward to eat."

As expected, as soon as the two left, the bird came forward and started eating. "Eat, eat," Mo Yu grabbed Ni Jiamu's hand and shook it non-stop, as happy as a butterfly.

"I saw it." Seeing Mo Yu so happy, Ni Jiamu's heart was filled with joy. How could his child be so innocent and cute? She could be so happy because of such a small thing. He really loved her so much, what could he do?

"Brother, can we raise the baby bird? Once it can fly, we can release it into the wild."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Bathed in the warm sunshine of the early morning, enjoying the fresh air and this wonderful moment.

"Brother, did you see Feifei when you went to the United States this time?" Mo Yu squatted on the ground, supporting her face with her hands and looking at the bird.

"See. Want her number? I'll give it to you." Ni Jiamu thought about not letting them contact each other, but as long as she was happy, he would let them do what they wanted. However, Xiao Hecheng was absolutely not allowed to do that.

"Yes, yes, yes." Mo Yu nodded like a rattle.

"I sent it to you, go call her."

"Brother is so nice, I love you the most!" Mo Yu ran to Ni Jiamu and gave him a gentle hug, then went upstairs happily with her cell phone.

"I really hope that your liking is what I think it is." Ni Jiamu murmured as he looked at the receding figure.

Two circles of hair tying are too loose, three circles are too tight. When taking a shower, if you turn left, you'll freeze to death, and if you turn right, you'll burn to death. When eating instant noodles, one bucket is too little, and two buckets are too much. Just like their relationship, it's neither going forward nor backward, which makes him extremely embarrassed.
