His tone was severe, and Zhong Xiao panicked: "Just, just, Dad said he wanted to make a will and asked me what I want. I, I don't want anything. Really, I don't want anything——"

"Stop it!" Zhang Yi's expression suddenly became very cold.

Zhong Xiao immediately shut up, lowered his head like he made some mistake, and picked his knees.He didn't know what angered Zhang Yi, he just wanted to show his attitude, so that Zhang Ai would know that he had never coveted anything from the Zhong family, no matter when.

The two remained silent, knowing that Zhong Mingcheng and the others had come back after playing.

Zhong Minghua started calling Zhang Yi from a long distance away: "Little uncle, I want to take your car!" When he got closer, he saw that Zhong Xiao was already sitting in the co-pilot, and pouted unhappily.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiao immediately opened the car door and got out of the car, and automatically walked around to the servant behind to follow the car.Zhong Mingcheng called him, he pretended not to hear, and got into the servant's car directly.

An old servant who helped prepare the fireworks was sitting in the car, and another was driving. Seeing him sitting in, neither of them said hello.This way Zhong Xiao is more at ease.

It was already midnight when we returned to Zhong's old house, Zhong Xiao worried about how to sleep tonight while walking in, the old butler followed up and said that he would change the room for him.

Zhong Xiao was very surprised and asked the old housekeeper what happened.

The old housekeeper was one of the few people in the Zhong family who knew about the affairs between He Na and Zhong Jianyang, and he was not bad to Zhong Xiao.The old butler asked him back, "Aren't you afraid?"

Zhong Xiao was stunned, and the housekeeper's question surprised him even more.He shook his head and smiled: "It's okay." Rather than being afraid, he was more worried that the bed was too dirty to sleep on.What had he to be afraid of?The person who died in that room was his own mother, and he wished he could bump into something.

"Master Zhang asked me to change it for you." The old housekeeper said.

Zhong Xiao smiled at a loss: "Thank you so much."

The new room is on the second floor. The room is clean and the bed is very soft.But Zhong Xiao didn't sleep well, and had nightmares all night.

For a while he fought with Zhong Mingqing, for a while he was hung up and beaten by Zhang Ai, and for a while he was pushed into the pool by Zhong Minghua, and Zhong Jianyang kept chasing him and scolding him as a waste, and He Na even grabbed his shoulder and asked him: "Why are you Not Zhong Mingcheng!"

And in all these dreams, there is Zhang Yi, watching everything with a cold face.

When Zhong Xiao woke up, he was sweating.He recalled everything in the dream, and felt that he had persecution paranoia.But this is no wonder to him, the most He Na said to him before her death was: "You must live carefully, be careful of Zhang Ai, don't show off, don't be aggressive, you have to be quiet, like A deaf person lives like a dumb person, you have to learn to take care of yourself.”

He Na is most worried that after she dies, Zhang Ai will make things difficult for him and make him unable to live.Fortunately, he was not born competitive, and he was born very good at being dumb and deaf.

But even though he worked hard to be dumb and deaf, Zhang Ai still worried about him.Zhang Yi always wants to let him know from time to time that he has been watching him secretly.For example, ask him what happened at school last night.

It's more like surveillance than attention.Zhong Xiao knew very well that everything in the dream was the projection of his demons.

After completely getting rid of the nightmare, Zhong Xiao found out that it was already 09:30 in the morning, and Zhong's family opened for dinner at nine o'clock in the morning. Zhong Jianyang hated everyone not eating on time.He secretly cried out, tidied up indiscriminately, and hurried out, but just as he opened the door, he saw Zhang Yi.

He came out of the next room, in pajamas.

Zhong Xiao was torn between saying hello and how to say hello, Zhang Yi took the initiative to ask him: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Very good, ah, very good." Zhong Xiao laughed, not knowing how to continue.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi went downstairs directly after asking.Zhong Xiaomo dawdled behind him.

I didn't know until I went down that breakfast was delayed.Because Zhong Jianyang was ill.There was no one on the first floor, and the old housekeeper said that Zhong Mingcheng and the others were staying with him in Zhong Jianyang's room.

Zhang Yi asked him, "Do you want to go?"

Zhong Xiao quickly waved his hands: "No, no." After finishing speaking, he felt that his reaction was a bit too much, after all, Zhong Jianyang was his own father.

Sure enough, Zhang Yi frowned slightly.Zhong Xiao smiled, not knowing what to do.Zhang Yi didn't say anything else, and went to see Zhong Jianyang with the old housekeeper.

After a while, the old housekeeper came to inform that Zhong Jianyang had already had breakfast with Zhong Mingcheng and the others in the room, and the others were free to do so.

Zhong Xiao didn't eat, and quietly left the Zhong family's old house.

The old house is in the suburbs, and the nearest bus station is three kilometers away.Zhong Xiao was careful when he came, and deliberately hid a shared bicycle in the woods outside the old house.

He dragged out the shared bicycle from the woods, and just after riding for a while, Zhang Yi's car came up from behind and stopped beside him.

"Get in the car." Zhang Yi was very straightforward.

Zhong Xiao pretended not to understand, Zhang Yi said again: "I'll see you off."

Zhong Xiao quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no."

"By the way." Zhang Yi insisted.

"It's really not necessary, don't delay your work, the bus stop is very close." Zhong Xiao also insisted.

Zhang Yi stared at him for a while, and finally drove away first.As soon as he left, the nervous Zhong Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was suffocated just talking to Zhang Yi.

He waited until he could no longer see Zhang Yi's car before riding his bicycle again.

Zhang Yi looked at the boy who was getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror, and sighed a long time, he was very guarded against him.

It took Zhong Xiao two hours to return to his residence. The landlord upstairs came down and gave him a bowl of frozen dumplings. While wishing him a happy New Year, he also reminded him of the rent increase next year.

Zhong Xiao agreed, but began to worry about where to earn the extra 200 yuan after the rent increase.He can't live in a dormitory.

Worrying is nothing but worrying, the house still has to be lived in, because even if it goes up by two hundred, it is still cheaper than other houses.

Zhong Xiao cooked a few frozen dumplings and ate them casually, then went to the car wash shop, took the subway and bus, and spent more than an hour going around.If you get off work late, you have to transfer four times to the bus if you can't catch the subway.He has something new to worry about.

The owner of the car wash shop is an older lady in her 40s. After seeing the home address he filled in, she was surprised that he lived too far away and asked him if he wanted to live in the shop for free.

During the Spring Festival, two regular employees who lived in the hotel went home, and the dormitory happened to be empty.All of a sudden, Zhong Xiao's troubles were solved. He was very grateful to his boss and worked very hard.

During the Spring Festival, there are more and more people washing cars.Most of the time, the boss's family of three and Zhong Xiao are too busy. Sometimes, they don't see anyone for a whole day.

There were a lot of car washers on the fourth day of the lunar new year. Just after Zhong Xiao finished washing a Passat, another Land Rover with a muddy body was dumped in.

Zhong Xiao knocked on the car window with a mask on, and it turned out to be Zhang Yi, in sportswear, and there was no one else in the car.Zhong Xiao didn't expect to see him again so soon, he was stunned for a moment, and soon returned to his normal expression, and asked him if he was a member, and if he wanted to be a member, if not, he would have to pay extra for the car wash during the Spring Festival.

Zhang Yi looked at him and didn't answer.

Zhong Xiao had to repeat it again.

Zhang Yi finally said, "Why are you here?"

Zhong Xiao laughed, not knowing how to answer.

"Are you short of money?" Zhang Yi asked directly.

Zhong Xiao scratched his head, the boss watched him talk for a long time, and walked over quickly.Zhong Xiao immediately called the boss, and changed to a member car service, so that the boss could communicate with Zhang Yi.

Zhang also became a member.He didn't leave right away, but watched Zhong Xiao wash other people's cars.He didn't wear gloves, his hands were red from the cold, and so was his face. The work clothes of the car wash shop were a bit too big, and his whole body seemed to be covered.He works carefully, not letting go of anything in the tire seam.

Zhong Xiao knew that he was watching him, but he had no choice but to pretend that he didn't exist and focus on washing the car.

Zhang Yi's car was washed by Zhong Xiao and the boss together. After washing, Zhong Xiao asked Zhang Yi to check it.Zhang Yi still asked him: "Are you short of money?"

Zhong Xiao replied vaguely "Yes", and Zhang Yi frowned.Zhong Xiao thought, he probably didn't know that as early as a year ago, Zhang Ai had already reduced his living expenses, from the previous [-] a month to the current [-] a month, for no reason.Because he never asked.

"Why didn't you say it?!" Zhang Yi seemed a little angry.

Two more cars came in to wash their cars. After Zhong Xiao Chongzhang said "Welcome next time," he hurried to greet the new guests.

If Zhong Xiao could take the time to look back, he would definitely be able to see Zhang Yi's clenched hands and tense face, full of anger and distress.
