all the way to the stream

Zuo Yang and Guan Haoming were walking and chatting in the small yard outside the house, Xiang Xi didn't get angry again, but reasoned with Xiang Nan inside the house.

Chen Zicheng leaned against the door, he could hear Zuoyang Guan Haoming's conversation on the left, and Xiangxi and Xiangnan's conversation on the right, but he was really interested in Xiangxi's situation.

"Apologize tomorrow, do you know?" Xiang Xi's tone was as gentle as usual, but mixed with undeniable majesty.

"Hmm..." Xiang Nan agreed aggrievedly.

Chen Zicheng was really afraid that Xiang Nan would refuse. Chen Zicheng had already experienced Xiang Xi's fighting power.

"Do you know why my brother is angry?"

"do not know…"

"How does brother usually teach you?"

"Learn to be patient..." Xiang Nan pouted dissatisfiedly.

"If someone scolds you, just ignore them. If someone strikes at you, brother will protect you even if he tries his best. But no matter what, you can't do it first, understand?"

"Understood," Xiang Nan rubbed her little hands to hide her uneasiness, "but I don't want my brother to work hard, I like my brother."

"Brother won't leave," Xiang Xi scratched Xiang Nan's little head, "Okay, that's all I've said, remember to apologize to Li Mingming tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Xiang Nan's mouth was almost on the verge of pouting.

"Chen Zicheng?"

"Ok?"

"Let's go back."

"Ah?" Chen Zicheng didn't expect that Xiang Xi would go back suddenly, so he just threw his brother... here?

"Aren't you... staying longer?"

"There is Zuo Yang here."

"Fine…"

Before leaving, Xiang Xi gave a few more instructions, and left in a hurry with Chen Zicheng.When they left, Zuo Yang was chatting with Guan Haoming so much that he didn't notice them at all, and Xiangxi and Chen Zicheng didn't say hello to them either.

The two first went to the entrance of the village to pick up the car. On the way, they saw Grandpa Mao standing in the middle of the road doing "radio gymnastics".

"Grandpa Mao!" Chen Zicheng shouted from a distance, "I've come to get my motorcycle!"

"What?" When Xiangxi approached, Grandpa Mao stopped, "Xiangxi, what did this kid mean just now?"

"He said he came to pick up the car."

"That's a good sentence." Grandpa Mao fumbled around for a long time, and took out a small notebook. "Hurry up, help Grandpa write it down."

Xiang Xi took the small notepad, flipped to the place where he helped Grandpa Mao memorize it last time, and wrote down the English sentence on the bottom, and marked the Chinese pronunciation and translation very skillfully.

"Pfft," Chen Zicheng pushed the cart over, glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing, "Thisphonetictranscriptionissofunny"

This time, without waiting for Grandpa Mao to speak, Chen Zicheng explained consciously, "I said this phonetic notation is very interesting."

"This sentence is also good, hurry up, help grandpa write it down."

"Okay." Xiang Xi turned over and wrote this sentence.

Just as Xiang Xi handed the notebook to Grandpa Mao, Chen Zicheng said with a smirk, "Don't worry, I'm not finishedyet"

"That's a good sentence!" This time, Grandpa Mao didn't even ask the meaning, and handed the notebook back to Xiang Xi, "Hurry up, help Grandpa write it down!"

"Okay." Xiang Xi wrote down this sentence with a smile, before Chen Zicheng covered his mouth one step at a time, "Shutup!"

Chen Zicheng broke free from Xiang Xi in a few strokes, and said to Grandpa Mao, "Grandpa Mao, this sentence is not bad, let Xiang Xi write it down!"

"Yes, yes, Xiangxi, help grandpa write it down."

Grandpa Mao handed the notebook back excitedly.

After a lot of tossing, it can be regarded as satisfying Mao Zedong's thirst for knowledge.

"Parking fee is free," Grandpa Mao waved his hand, "I will teach Grandpa a few more words of English next time."

"easy!"

When leaving, Chen Zicheng made gestures like Grandpa Mao.

"easy!"

Grandpa Mao also returned the same gesture, and the two "children" reached a certain consensus tacitly.

There was a chill in the September night, and Xiang Xi, who was sitting in the back seat, tightened his collar, and his mind had long drifted away.

"Are you hungry?" While waiting for the red light, Chen Zicheng turned around and asked Xiang Xi, "Do you want to eat something?"

"Ah?" Xiang Xi came back to his senses, "You're really hungry for asking..."

"go!"

As soon as Chen Zicheng finished speaking, he ignored the red light in front of him, turned around and sped on the road.At eight o'clock in N City, the rush hour has passed, but there are still a lot of people and cars. Chen Zicheng drove Xiang Xi ecstatically on the road, and all the cars and pedestrians were left behind.

There were fewer and fewer people and vehicles on the road, and Chen Zicheng's speed was getting faster and faster, making several turns and turns, and finally arrived at the destination.

Chen Zicheng boldly took off his helmet, and patted the engine of the "Tibetan Antelope" contentedly. He hadn't raced for a long time, and today he had passed his car addiction.

"Xiangxi?"

Chen Zicheng lost himself in the racing car, and now he stopped the car and remembered that there was Xiang Xi in the back seat.

"Xiangxi?"

Seeing that Xiangxi didn't respond, Chen Zicheng called again.

Is this guy asleep?Chen Zicheng wanted to look back, but Xiang Xi hugged him too tightly.

"Xiangxi?"

Chen Zicheng called Xiang Xi three times in a row, and Xiang Xi finally responded, and slowly let go of his hand.

When Chen Zicheng got out of the car, Xiang Xi threw his whole body onto the front seat because there was no place to put his hands.

Xiang Xi was panting heavily in the car, her eyes were a little red.

"what happened to you?"

Chen Zicheng made a call while asking Xiang Xi.

"No, I'm fine." Xiang Xi stretched out his hand to hold Chen Zicheng.

"Are you all right?" Chen Zicheng asked back.

"I'm fine." Xiang Xi slowed down, and his expression gradually returned to normal.

Seeing that Xiang Xi was fine, Chen Zicheng hung up the phone.

"Hypoglycemia committed again?"

"No," Xiang Xi thought for a while and added, "Hypoglycemia is rare."

"asthma?"

"Don't worry, I don't have any illnesses," Xiang Xi smiled softly, and pinched Chen Zicheng's face, "I'm treating you tonight, so I'll just take it as thank you for your help today."

"Damn, I grow up so big, no one dares to touch my face!"

Although he was not as angry as he imagined, Chen Zicheng still couldn't bear it, and cursed with black lines on his face.

"Can't you?" Xiang Xi put on an aggrieved look, "I thought you were Xiao Nan."

"I tm!"

The second half of the sentence was abruptly interrupted by the boss' enthusiasm.

Chen Zicheng is a regular customer of "Old Tao Barbecue", and the boss already knows what to order, but he still cannot avoid some politeness.

"Xiao Chen brought friends here today," the boss wiped his hands on the apron, and brought the menu, "Do you want to add some new products, just this, this, and this, I highly recommend it!"

"Then get two copies, anyway, the boss treats you today."

Chen Zicheng didn't even look at it, and handed the menu back.

"okay."

After the boss is polite, he goes to the ingredients and starts baking.

"How did you find out about this store?" Xiang Xi looked at the map, it was in the outer suburbs of N city.

"There is no place in N city that I don't know about," Chen Zicheng boasted proudly, "From small street stalls to small five-star restaurants, there is nothing I don't know about."

"Have you been to Time Shop?"

"What?"

"Time Shop." Xiang Xi repeated.

"I haven't been there... What are they selling?"

"I have everything, next time I treat you to take you there."

"Okay." Chen Zicheng saw Xiang Xi looking at him with a smirk, and suddenly came to his senses, "Are you fucking kidding me on purpose?"

"No, no," Xiang Xi waved his hand, "This store really exists, and I will know when I take you there next time."

"By the way, are you really okay? I thought you were going to hang in my car with the way you were just now."

"I'm really fine," Xiang Xi paused, "I just... thought of something from the past."

"It's fine," Chen Zicheng didn't ask further, "You really don't care about your brother? Tomorrow morning is public class, just skip it."

"No," Xiang Xi sighed, "I'm even less safe here."

"why?"

"I..." Xiang Xi hesitated to speak, "I'm afraid that Xiang Nan will be involved, so it's better to leave Xiang Nan to Zuo Yang to take care of her during this time."

"Where are your parents?"

"Mom and Dad..." Xiang Xi was silent for a long time, "My dad is dead, and my mom is not in good spirits, and recently complained that she was not feeling well. I asked a friend of hers to take her to the hospital."

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked..." Chen Zicheng changed the topic, "Don't be so fierce to your brother in the future, your appearance today is too scary, you must cast a shadow on Xiang Nan."

"You don't need to apologize," Xiang Xi said calmly, "I've been a little prone to losing control recently."

"The skewers are here!" The boss yelled, interrupting their conversation.

"Come on, let me toast you." Xiang Xi raised his glass, "Thank you for coming to help today."

"It's a small matter." Chen Zicheng and Xiang Xi clinked glasses, "it's you, why do you have to admit your mistake? It's obvious that they provoked the trouble."

"I'm not around anymore, Xiang Nan has to learn these principles," Xiang Xi drank a drink, "I can't be by his side all the time."

"He's a competent brother," Chen Zicheng gave a thumbs up, "If I don't say anything, then you'll accept ten thousand?"

Although [-] is just pocket money in Chen Zicheng's eyes, Chen Zicheng knows that [-] is not a small amount in Xiangxi's house.

"So I want Xiang Nan to admit his mistake." Xiang Xi picked up a bunch of special recommendations from the boss, sniffed them, and put them back on the plate. "I have to let him learn it. If you don’t admit it, it’s a big deal to fight.”

"I can't see it, you are still a grumpy old man."

"Three irascible old brothers can't beat more than a dozen people." Xiang Xi smiled, and gave Chen Zicheng a special recommendation from the boss, "Thanks to you for finding Guan Haoming, he is quite impressive on stage."

"Let me tell you, don't praise him, his tail can go up to the sky with just a word," Chen Zicheng accepted the boss's special recommendation, "I just asked him to bring a few people, I didn't expect him to bring a truckload of people here , It’s right on target.”

"Oh shit, what is this that tastes so weird?" Chen Zicheng couldn't stand it after taking two bites.

"Sheep whip." Xiang Xi smiled wickedly.

"I rely on!"

"Don't spit, the bullwhip, the horsewhip, and the dogwhip are all yours." Xiang Xi handed over all the boss's special recommendations.

"Don't eat! Take it away!" Chen Zicheng waved his hand, busy spitting out a certain whip in his mouth.

There was eating and chatting during the meal, and the time passed quickly, and the two of them arrived at the dormitory after ten o'clock.

"Good night, the new one, remember to wake me up tomorrow." Chen Zicheng fell asleep without taking off his clothes.

"Okay." Xiang Xi replied.
