Did you apply to Peking University for you to go to Tsinghua University?

"What did you bring into the house just now?" Yuan Qian stood up and carried the satchel on her back.

Yu Chao didn't want to answer: "Nothing."

Yu Chao threw the bag back on the coffee table, walked to the laundry basket in the corner, took the clothes out of the basket and walked to the toilet where the washing machine was placed.

"You wash your own clothes?" Yuan Qian asked strangely, "Didn't I give you money to hire an aunt?"

"I'm not used to having outsiders at home." Yu Chao said.

Yuan Qian raised her eyebrows, and lowered her head to send messages to her friends, without realizing that she was also an "outsider" in Yu Chao's mouth.

Yuan Qian and Yuan Lide's other two children were not born to the same mother. Yuan Lide found his first wife when he "went to the mountains and went to the countryside". Later, he returned to the city. A wife divorced and found Yuan Qian's mother.

Yuan Qian's mother is not only good-looking but also rich. Three generations of the family have been in business. She is a young lady who does not have to worry about food and clothing. Because of the conflict with Yuan Lide, he went abroad with his family members. He has lived in Switzerland for a long time until now, and not many people have come back.

Yu Chao sometimes feels that besides appearance, personality can really be inherited. For example, Yuan Qian and Yuan Qian's mother are equally heartless, irresponsible, and careless about their children.

"Are you busy this weekend?" Yuan Qian looked up at Yu Chao after replying to the message, "My mother is going back to China this weekend, let's have dinner together."

Yuan Qian's mother is Yu Chao's grandma, but Yuan Qian seems to say "my mother" more easily than "your grandma".

Yu Chaozheng was sitting on a chair by the dining table, looking down on his mobile phone how to raise a chihuahua, and raised his eyes when he heard this: "I won't go."

Yuan Qian blinked, as if she didn't understand why Yu Chao returned so simply, she was stunned for a moment and said, "My mother called you to come."

Yu Chao especially wanted to raise his head and say, "I'll go if your mother tells me to go?", but he looked at the picture of the Chihuahua that popped up on the webpage on the phone screen, and suddenly thought of the little life in the cardboard box in his bedroom, and then I don't know why I thought of Lu Chuan again, and then the anger disappeared inexplicably, and I didn't want to fight with Yuan Qian.

His time is precious, and he has to prepare for the Olympiad, so he has no time to waste time on these unnecessary people.

"My mother specifically told you to come here. Don't forget, I sent you a WeChat message with the time and address this Friday." Yuan Qian raised her phone.

Yuan Qian's mother, Lin Zhi, was Yuan Qian's only child, and Yu Chao was naturally her only grandson.

Although she was just as out-of-place as Yuan Qian, she was much older and still loved the younger generation. As her only grandchild, Lin Zhi still wanted to see him more or less when she returned to China.

So if you count it carefully, in the entire Yuan family, the best person for the court may be this grandma who has seen only a handful of times in the past ten years.

Yuan Qian is actually not bad, she didn't abuse Yu Chao and gave him money back, but because she is really heartless and doesn't care about Chao, so she is more like an inconspicuous "auntie" to Chao many times. "Not mother.

Yu Chao suddenly remembered when he was very young.

He had been thrown to the nanny since he was born. Yuan Lide denied him for the sake of the Yuan family's face. Yuan Lide's ex-wife's sons and daughters even annoyed Yuan Qian so much, let alone have any good feelings for him.

So he can't stay in Yuan's house, but Yuan Qian is still at the age of playing, and it is impossible to take him wherever she goes. In the end, Yuan Qian simply rented a house and threw him to the nanny, while she went to school and worked. , had a chic life.

Later, Yu Chao grew up a bit. When he was in the third grade of primary school, the old nanny resigned because of health reasons and replaced him with a new nanny. The new nanny was not very good-natured. The meal caused him acute gastroenteritis and he was hung up in the hospital for three days.

As Yu Chao grew up, he became less talkative and didn't like to stay with unfamiliar people, so he told Yuan Qian that he didn't want a nanny through gastroenteritis.

Yuan Qian agreed, so Yu Chao lived by himself since he was nine years old.

He eats and sleeps by himself, and there will never be parents to pick him up and go to school, and there will never be parents to hold parent-teacher meetings for him.

The worst time in my memory was when he caught a cold and had a low-grade fever at home, but the water dispenser was broken, and there was no kettle at home. He was hungry all day after cooking, and finally soaked a bag of instant noodles with cold water in a daze. .

I didn't go downstairs to buy medicine until I got better the next day.

It wasn't that he didn't want to call anyone, it was that he really didn't know who to call. Yuan Qian was less than [-] years old at the time and was still studying in Hong Kong. .

On the other hand, Yuan Lide is busy being the principal, and besides, he is still angry about Yuan Qian's private childbirth. He wished that Yu Chao's death would not ruin the reputation of his Yuan family...so most of the calls to him were not answered. of.

At a rebellious age, Yu Chao also smashed things at home.

But no matter how he smashed it, he was the only one who could hear the sound. After Yu Chao realized this, he stopped smashing and lost his temper.

A child cries because someone pays attention to him. If no one pays attention to him, he can only eat instant noodles in cold water.

Yu Chao nodded and watched Yuan Qian issue the order to drive away: "I'm ready to study."

Yuan Qian stuffed her mobile phone into her satchel and walked towards the entrance: "Then I'm leaving, you remember Friday's meal."

Yu Chao gave an "um" without even raising his head.

The anti-theft door slammed once, and then the whole room returned to calm.

On the east side of the living room is a large floor-to-ceiling glass window. Yu Chao’s sitting position is facing that window. Through the polished window, he can see the busy traffic outside and the lights of several neighborhoods next door. brightly lit.

Outside, separated by a thick layer of glass, are the lights of thousands of families and the hustle and bustle of the world, but none of them seem to have anything to do with him.

Yu Chao sat for a while, and when the washing machine rang, he remembered that there was still a bucket of laundry in the toilet, and there was a little guy in the bedroom.

He ignored the beeping washing machine, turned around and went to the bedroom, and carried the little guy out of the cardboard box.

It was probably just a full moon and needed a lot of sleep. When Yu Chao carried it out, it squinted its eyes and pawed at Yu Chao's palm twice with its paws, but within two strokes, it quickly put its head against Yu Chao's hand and closed its eyes. Fell asleep.

Yu Chao didn’t turn on the light when he came in. The only light in the bedroom came from the south window with no curtains. He leaned on the bedside table and stared at the little life in his hand for a long time, feeling that the empty room seemed to be alive. .

Next to the cardboard box on the bedside table was a kraft paper bag, which contained dog food and some daily necessities that the little ones could use now, and the big plastic bag next to it contained a soft sky blue dog kennel.

Yu Chao supported the little guy with one hand, and gently took out the kennel cover from the plastic bag with the other hand. Before putting the little guy in, Yu Chao carefully smelled whether the kennel had just been bought. taste of something new.

Carefully, like a novice dad.

As soon as Yu Chao had arranged the sleeping little life, Lu Chuan's WeChat came to his phone.

Lu Chuan: How is your son?

Lu Chuan's tone was so natural that he always felt that "we" was missing.

Yu Chao didn't reply to the text, and directly took a photo of the sleeping little guy and sent it.

Lu Chuan on the other end of the phone looked at the photo and smiled. The photo was obviously taken in the bedroom. The little guy's nest was next to the bedside table. The big light was not turned on in the bedroom, only the bedside lamp that was not bright .

The warm yellow light gave Yu Chao's dark gray bed a layer of warmth, falling on the little guy in the nest, making people feel that this picture is so warm and cute.

Lu Chuan smiled and called with a voice.

Yu Chao picked it up.

Lu Chuan had earphones hanging on his ears, and he was looking for an indoor dog fence on Taobao with his legs crossed: "Has it eaten since you came back?"

"No."

Yu Chao took out all the things that belonged to the little guy from the bag, walked around the room, and finally went out and put the things on the TV cabinet in the living room. Buy a small shelf to put its things on it.

"Have you decided what name to give it?" Lu Chuan chose the dog fence, filled in the address of Yu Chao's home, paid the money, rolled over on the sofa with a pillow in his arms, and called Yu Chao jokingly, "Yes With your surname or mine, Brother Chao?"

Lu Chuan's voice is refreshing and sweet, not girly, but charming.

When they came back at night, both of them were afraid that the little guy would be uncomfortable in the cardboard box, so they chose to go home instead of eating out.

Yu Chao turned to the kitchen, took out a pack of instant noodles from the cupboard and boiled them, then made two boiled eggs from the egg steamer, and planned to throw one into the instant noodles later, and separate the egg yolk from the egg white, and mix the egg yolk with it Soaked dog food served to the little guy who was still sleeping in the bedroom.

"Anything is fine." Yu Chao answered Lu Chuan's question.

At night, I was afraid that Yu Chao would be embarrassed to ask for it, so I told Yu Chao that I wanted to raise it, but this was probably just an excuse. On the way back, I saw how Yu Chao treated the little guy. He followed Yu Chao.

Since he was following Yu Chao, his surname should naturally be Yu.

"Let's follow your last name." Lu Chuan decided.

After Lu Chuan said this sentence, he felt a little regretful, and subconsciously felt that the dog and whose surname were the same as the child's surname, which was related to the important issue of who should attack and who should suffer.

But... Lu Chuan thought "forget it" in his heart, so he won't rob Yu Chao of such a trivial matter.

Lu Chuan turned over and asked again: "The surname is the same as yours, what's the name?"

Yu Chao has never raised a dog before, so he has no experience in naming pets.

With chopsticks in his right hand, he scattered the instant noodles in the pot: "What's the name of the Pomeranian you raised before?"

"Earth egg."

"What?" Yu Chao asked again, "What did you call it?"

"Dumb." Lu Chuan's voice was quite natural.

Yu Chao took down a bowl from the cupboard above his head and poured the cooked instant noodles into the bowl: "Have a good Pomeranian and call her Goudan."

Lu Chuan gave a light "tsk": "The more rustic the name, the easier it is to support, or you can just call it Yu Wangcai, Yu Goudan or something."

"..."

Yu Chao was a little speechless, turned on the hands-free phone and placed it on the kitchen table, ignoring Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuanyue became more excited when he said that, turned over and lay flat on the sofa, looked at the ceiling with his arms behind his head and followed Yu Chao, and then suggested: "Well, since you can't think of it, I think you can just choose one of the three. Yu Wangcai, Yu Goudan, Yu Tiezhu, which of the three do you like?"

Yu Chao took the peeled egg yolk and walked into the bedroom again, and when he saw the little guy sleeping in the kennel, he suddenly felt that it was really lucky that this little guy wasn't kept by Lu Chuan's side.

Does such a milky white thing make people like Yu Wangcai?

Yu Chao squatted down, crushed the boiled egg yolk and put it into the little guy's dog bowl, poured some dog food and warm water into it, then walked up to the little guy again with the little bowl and squatted down, touching the little guy's dog. The guy's head woke it up, and pushed the food bowl at its feet towards its eyes.

"Let's think about the name again." Yu Chao said.

Lu Chuan smiled: "Why, you think I'm ugly?"

Yu Chao said "hmm" very frankly: "Isn't this obvious?"

Hearing Yu Chao's truthful answer, Lu Chuan smiled even more happily. He held his stomach and crawled into the sofa, feeling that he and Yu Chao seemed to be getting closer.

The days passed quickly, and Friday arrived in a blink of an eye. The last time I met Lin Zhi seemed to be at this time last year.

It's been a long time since we saw each other. After thinking about it, Yu Chao bought a gift for Lin Zhi. After all, this is the best person the Yuan family has treated him, even though it's not very good.

The gift was bought by Yu Chao at a shopping mall near his home. It was a lady's shawl, dark brown with dark grid pattern, very suitable for a sophisticated woman of Lin Zhi's age.

The address Yuan Qian sent to Yu Chao was a five-star hotel in Yunxi District. Although Yu Chao was not welcomed by the Yuan family, he had had several "reunion" dinners with the Yuan family over the years. But all the members of the Yuan family ate together at this hotel, and never changed to other places. Yu Chao sometimes suspected that the Yuan family had established a lifetime membership here and booked all the large-scale dinners in this life.

At 06:30 in the evening, Yu Chao arrived at the entrance of the hotel at the agreed time. When he got out of the taxi and sent Yuan Qian a WeChat message asking for the room number, he was told that the wrong place was sent to him, and it was another hotel.

Yu Chao called and asked why he sent the wrong message. Yuan Qian said that she was still replying to other people's messages at the time, and sent the wrong message as soon as she interrupted.

When Yuan Qian said this, there was no apology in her tone, she just called him on the phone to come quickly.

Yu Chao stood on the side of the road with the bag containing the shawl for 5 minutes, hesitating whether to go or not.

After so many days, she didn't realize that she had sent the wrong address, and she never thought of sending herself a message to ask if she had arrived until she called Yuan Qian to ask where she was.
