Pulling out a white napkin from the table, Tang Xiaosheng wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Tang, aren't you eating?"

"I'm already full, and I'll be able to hold on if I eat again."

"Then we can go home now, right?" Yue'er asked expectantly.

"Yes." Tang Xiaosheng stood up, "You wait here, I'll go to the bathroom and take you back later." ”

"Hmm."

After discussing, Tang Xiaosheng turned around and walked into the restaurant, turned into the kitchen, and found the proprietress of the restaurant, Sister Fang.

"Sister Fang. How much is the lobster tonight? As soon as they met, Tang Xiaosheng asked straight to the point.

Sister Fang, who was busy, turned her head and said with a smile: "Yue'er picks all big lobsters, which are more expensive, and that plate of lobsters costs 180 yuan." ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Sister Fang, that's the case. I don't have any money with me today, can I owe the money for the lobster first? I'll send you the money early tomorrow morning? ”

"No need." Sister Fang smiled, "Xiao Tang, you don't have to give the money for the lobster, Yue'er has already given it." ”

Tang Xiaosheng was stunned: "Yue'er has given it?" ”

"yes." Sister Fang explained, "When she went into the kitchen with me to pick lobsters just now, by the way, she had already settled the bill first, and the money for the dumplings had already been settled. ”

Tang Xiaosheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect this little girl to be so fast, and she had already settled the account in advance without a sound.

"Xiao Tang, I see that you are usually quite honest, I can't imagine that you are quite good at getting a girlfriend." At this time, Sister Fang suddenly asked jokingly. "Tell me, how did you and Yue'er, this little girl, meet?"

Tang Xiaosheng clarified: "Sister Fang, you misunderstood, Yue'er is not my girlfriend, or she grew up together in the orphanage before. ”

"So that's a childhood sweetheart?" Sister Fang said, "No wonder the last time you introduced the object, you refused at once, it turned out that you had secretly hidden such a little beauty as Yue'er." This girl is really beautiful, like a big star. ”

Seeing that the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, Tang Xiaosheng originally wanted to explain. But think about it. I felt that it was unnecessary, so I just changed my mouth and said, "Sister Fang, since the account has been settled, then I'll go first." ”

Sister Fang nodded. smiled and advised: "Bring more Yue'er to dinner when you have time." Have such a good girlfriend to cherish! ”

After chatting with Sister Fang. Tang Xiaosheng left the kitchen and returned to the dining table in the hall. At this time, Yue'er sat alone at the table. The little hand is holding the iPhone, playing intently, as if texting.

"Little rich woman, let's go." Tang Xiaosheng walked to the table and called out to Yue'er.

"Huh?" Yue'er raised her head, her lacquered eyes flashed with doubt, "What 'little rich woman'?" Who is the 'little rich woman'? ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "You settled the bill of more than 200 yuan without making a sound, and you are so generous, you are not a 'little rich woman', what is it?" ”

Yue'er suddenly understood the situation, grinned, stood up, and said, "Brother Tang, take me home to see the crystal now, this 'little rich woman' will not treat you badly." ”

This sounded weird and awkward, Tang Xiaosheng raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?" What does it mean not to treat me badly? ”

Yue'er's snow-white chin lifted slightly, and said, "Anyway, I'm already a 'little rich woman' now, and I'm not short of money, so I decided to support you, hehe." ”

"Baby-feed me?" Tang Xiaosheng pretended to be disdainful, "Just because you also want to support me?" You don't think that a bill of just 200 yuan can cover me, do you? ”

"200 yuan is not enough?" Yue'er's eyes rolled, and she raised her bargaining chips, "How about 300 yuan?" ”

"The poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent." Tang Xiaosheng was awe-inspiring, "A man's dignity is very precious, if you think that you can support a man if you have money, this is really naïve." ”

Yue'er thought about it, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay, this 'little rich woman' decided to give 400 yuan!" ”

"400 bucks? Hehe, you also want to support me for this little money? You're underestimating me too much. Tang Xiaosheng coughed and said with a solemn face, "No matter how you say it, it can't be less than 500 yuan!" ”

"Poof-" Yue'er couldn't hold back for a while, and suddenly laughed, she was quite decisive, her little hand immediately reached into her pocket, took out a white wallet, took out five yuan from the bag, handed it to Tang Xiaosheng, and said, "Brother Tang, na, 500 yuan, I officially raised you." ”

Tang Xiaosheng glanced at 500 yuan, looked disdainful, and said: "The 500 yuan I said is 500 yuan an hour, 24 hours a day, that is, 12,000 yuan, and a total of more than 4 million yuan for a year, your 500 yuan is not enough to plug your teeth." ”

"500 dollars an hour? Why is it so expensive? Yue'er frowned, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "This little rich woman doesn't have so much money now, so I'll take care of you for one night." Brother Tang, let's go, let's go home now! ”

Tang Xiaosheng remembered something and said, "You call your mother first, so that she won't worry." ”

Yue'er said, "Don't worry, I just texted my mommy." Walking up to Tang Xiaosheng, his little hand held Tang Xiaosheng's arm, "Brother Tang, go home and see the crystal!" ”

Although Yue'er and Tang Xiaosheng just met tonight, and the two of them only spent more than an hour together, they no longer had any sense of distance, just like a couple who have known each other for many years and get along day and night.

After eight years of separation, there was some strangeness between the two of them, but it only took them an hour to get acquainted with each other again, without any sense of estrangement.

Everything seems to have returned to the same as more than eight years ago, Yue'er still pesters Tang Xiaosheng like when she was a child, and even when she holds hands, she is as unscrupulous as when she was a child.

Compared with Yue'er, Tang Xiaosheng is not so calm, he knows very well in his heart that it is not eight years ago, and Yue'er is not the little girl with two ponytail flaps, she is now twenty years old, a slim girl.

Yue'er has grown up, when holding hands with her. Tang Xiaosheng couldn't be as calm as he was when he was a child, and he always felt that something was wrong.

With a somewhat messy thought, Tang Xiaosheng and Yue'er left the restaurant together, then stopped a taxi on the street and prepared to go to their rental house.

The house rented by Tang Xiaosheng is located in the northern suburbs of the city, a few kilometers away from the city center, and he must take a car back. In normal times, Tang Xiaosheng usually takes the bus home, but the place where he lives is a bit remote, even if the bus sits at the terminal. After getting off the bus, you still have to walk a few hundred meters.

Tang Xiaosheng didn't want Yue'er to toss with him. I made an exception to call a taxi tonight.

After stopping the taxi, Tang Xiaosheng originally wanted to be the front seat of the car, but unfortunately, Yue'er held Tang Xiaosheng's arm tightly with both hands. In desperation. Tang Xiaosheng had no choice but to accompany her to the back seat of the car.

After the car starts. All the way to the north.

As the car gradually left the city, the surroundings gradually quieted down, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on both sides of the road. When driving to the mouth of a narrow roadway in the northern suburbs. The taxi stopped.

"Young man, is this it?" The taxi driver asked, turning his head.

Tang Xiaosheng looked out of the car window and nodded: "Yes." Master, how much? ”

"34 pieces." The driver looked at the meter.

"34?" Tang Xiaosheng felt a slight pimple in his heart, this price exceeded his expectations, he originally thought that the fare would be more than 20 yuan at most, but he didn't expect it to exceed 30. He only has 30 yuan on him now, which is obviously not enough to pay the fare.

When he was in the restaurant before, Tang Xiaosheng could also consider giving credit to Sister Fang, but now there is definitely no way to pay the fare on credit.

In desperation, Tang Xiaosheng had no choice but to look at Yue'er, who was sitting in the seat on his left, and said, "Little rich woman, it's time to pay." ”

Yue'er grinned, reached into her pocket, took out her wallet, and handed a 50 yuan to the taxi driver. Just as the driver was about to look for money, he was politely rejected by Yue'er. She has lived in the United States for eight years and has developed a habit of tipping.

After getting off the rental, Yue'er still stuck to Tang Xiaosheng like a kitten, and the two walked into a narrow alleyway together.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the alleyway was very quiet. This is just an ordinary residential area, most of the houses have been built for more than 40 years, and they are relatively dilapidated, and it is said that the entire residential area will be demolished in two years.

The living conditions of this private house are very poor, and the security is not very good, Tang Xiaosheng lived here for two years, and encountered a total of seven or eight thieves. Fortunately, there was nothing of value at all in his rental house, and there was nothing to lose.

However, this house also has advantages, that is, the rent is cheap, and the monthly rent of a house of more than ten square meters only needs more than 200 yuan, which is unimaginable in the urban area.

Although the environment here is not good, when walking in the alleyway, Yue'er is very excited, her two big eyes keep looking back and forth, full of curiosity about everything around her, because she knows that this is where Tang Xiaosheng lives.

"Brother Tang, how long have you been living here?"

"More than two years."

"Have you been living alone?"

"It's not."

"Someone living with you?"

"Yes."

"Really?" Yue'er asked, "Who is it?" Male or female? ”

"Female." Tang Xiaosheng said, "How can I live with a man? ”

"Female?" Yue'er was skeptical, "Are you really living with a woman?" ”

"Yes."

"Does the woman still live with you?"

"Not bad."

"What is your relationship with her, how do you live together?"

"My relationship with her is a bit complicated, and I can't say clearly." Tang Xiaosheng changed his mouth and said, "Anyway, it's all an adult's business, don't ask about you, little brat." After looking at the crystals of the 'Angel's Wings' for a while, you immediately go home, do you hear? ”

Yue'er pursed her lips and solemnly declared: "I have already spent a lot of money to support you tonight, you can't drive me away." ”

Tang Xiaosheng asked rhetorically: "Just your little money, and you still want to support me for one night?" ”

Yue'er said: "Bao-Raising you for an hour isn't 500 yuan, right?" I have thousands of dollars in the card in my wallet, enough to support you for one night. ”

Tang Xiaosheng was slightly stunned, this little girl is really a little rich woman.

After chatting for a few minutes, the two came to the door of a private house, Tang Xiaosheng stopped, and Yue'er immediately asked, "Brother Tang, have you arrived?" ”

"Yes. This is where I live. Tang Xiaosheng pointed to a private house in front of him and said, feeling his pocket in his hand. took out a key and was about to open the door, when he suddenly thought of something again, and said, "Yue'er, after opening the door in a while, I will enter the house first, and you will wait outside the house, understand?" ”

Yue'er was puzzled: "Why can't you enter the house?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "There are women in my house, it's really inconvenient to take you in." ”

Yue'er raised her eyebrows: "Is it true?" Do you really have a woman in the house? ”

"That's smart. In a word. You're waiting outside the house. I'll go into the house myself and get the crystal, and I'll come out to you when I get it. "Tang Xiaosheng's rental house is the only one who lives in it, and there are no other people living in it, let alone women.

The reason why he didn't let Yue'er enter the rental house. Mainly because his rental house is so chaotic. It's really not suitable for Yue'er onlookers.

After the discussion. Tang Xiaosheng inserted the key into the keyhole on the door, turned it in reverse, and clicked. He opened the door and walked in.

Just when Tang Xiaosheng walked into the house, Yue'er was also about to go in, but unfortunately, she was stopped by Tang Xiaosheng and immediately came to the door.

As soon as I entered the rental house, I felt a strange stench.

The room is not big, less than 20 square meters, one bedroom and one bathroom. As soon as I swept it, I saw a bowl of unfinished instant noodles on a shabby small round table in the room, which was seriously moldy and covered with a thick layer of velvety white hairs. Around the instant noodles, there are also a few cockroaches.

At the edge of the small round table, there was a wooden chair with a missing leg, and more than a dozen unwashed dirty clothes were piled on top of the chair. The most striking thing is a floor fan with almost peeling paint on the opposite side of the chair, with two red panties hanging from it.

There is a simple wooden bed at the very back of the room, and there are more than a dozen books and periodicals at the head of the bed, the top of which is called "Guitar Triumph Pass".

Next to the wooden bed, there is a peeling sofa with more than a dozen bags of instant noodles of various flavors stacked on the sofa.

On the floor of the room, there are all kinds of daily necessities: cooking oil, induction cooker, pots, bowls, spoons, electric heating rods, hot water bottles, plastic buckets, basins, rubber shoes, slippers, socks, shampoo, laundry detergent, dumbbells, cola bottles, basketballs, second-hand bicycles......

The cleanest part of the whole room is the wall, which is covered with posters of Chinese and foreign entertainment stars: BEYOND, Bruce Lee, Al Pacino, Stallone, Sean Connery, Tom Cruise, Stephen Chow, Audrey Hepburn......

Without thinking too much, Tang Xiaosheng walked to the wooden plank chuang in the house, squatted down, and opened a small box placed at the bottom of the chuang with another key, and after rummaging in the box for a while, he finally found a pink heart-shaped box.

As soon as he bent over, Tang Xiaosheng picked up the box and opened the lid of the box, which contained a transparent crystal ornament, the shape of the ornament was very special, it was a pair of "angel wings".

"Ahh

At this moment, a girl's scream suddenly came from outside the house, and when he heard the sound, Tang Xiaosheng's face changed suddenly, because he had already distinguished that the screaming girl was Yue'er!

"What's wrong?"

didn't have time to think about it, Tang Xiaosheng casually put the box in the box, immediately turned around and ran away, opened the door, and rushed out of the house.

When he rushed outside the house, he found Yue'er standing in the corner on the left side of the door of the house, her eyebrows were tightly locked, her squeamish face was full of panic, and her watery eyes were slightly red, obviously frightened.

"Yue'er, what's wrong?"

Tang Xiaosheng walked quickly to Yue'er and asked with concern, "What happened?" ”

Yue'er seemed to be a little frightened, and after seeing Tang Xiaosheng, she immediately grabbed Tang Xiaosheng's arm with both hands, and said nervously: "Brother Tang, I just saw an old ...... Rat up! ”

"Mouse?" Tang Xiaosheng understood a little, "You screamed so miserably just now, just because of a mouse?" ”

"Hmm." Yue'er nodded again and again.

Tang Xiaochang breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was just a mouse, and finally made a false alarm, and said: "When did you become so bold that a mouse can scare you like this?" ”

"What, that rat is terrible." Yue'er gestured twice with a small hand and said, "That mouse is very fat, the size of a sneaker, it scares me to death!" ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled and said comfortingly: "Okay, the rat is just the scum of the fifth combat power, it can't hurt you, don't worry." ”

Yue'er still felt unsure, looked around, and asked, "Brother Tang, the rats won't appear again, right?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng confessed: "It should appear." "Pointed in the direction of the north of the rental house." Thirty or so away, there is a garbage dump, which is a playground for rats, who are my neighbors and often come to visit me. ”

"Knock on the door?" As soon as she heard this, Yue'er became even more uneasy, her two little hands tightly grasped Tang Xiaosheng's hand, her pink lips pursed, and she said coquettishly: "Brother Tang, I'm afraid ......"

Tang Xiaosheng knew that this girl was the best at pretending to be pitiful. I don't know if she's really scared. Still pretending to be afraid, he asked, "What do you want?" ”

Yue'er pursed her small mouth and said, "There are rats outside the house, I want to enter the house." ”

Tang Xiaosheng reminded: "There are also rats in the house. And there are cockroaches. ”

Yue'er said: "There is Brother Tang here." I'm not afraid. "Finished. Both hands grabbed Tang Xiaosheng tighter.

Tang Xiaosheng thought for a while and said, "It's okay to enter the house if you want to, but you have to be honest after entering the house." ”

"Hmm."

After speaking. Tang Xiaosheng and Yue'er re-entered the house together.

As soon as she entered the house, Yue'er was dumbfounded, her face showed a look of surprise, she couldn't imagine that Tang Xiaosheng's rental house was actually like this, and when she saw Tang Xiaosheng's two red underwear hanging on the fan, her pretty face suddenly turned crimson, and she was a little embarrassed.

After roughly scanning the rental house, when her eyes fell on the photos of Bruce Lee, Al Pacino, Stallone, Sean Connery, Tom Cruise, Stephen Chow and other acting stars on the wall, Yue'er asked curiously: "Brother Tang, are these the stars you like?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng asked rhetorically: "What's wrong?" ”

Yue'er said: "You posted so many photos of celebrities on the wall, they should be your idols, right?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng shook his head: "The photo on this wall was not posted by me at all, it was posted by another person." Before I moved into this house, there was another man living here, he was a costume actor who liked acting, so there were many photos of actors and stars in the house. Later, when he moved out, he didn't take the pictures with him, and I moved into the house. ”

"Oh." Yue'er suddenly realized, at this time, Yue'er suddenly remembered something, her beautiful eyes flashed, she looked at Tang Xiaosheng, and asked: "Brother Tang, didn't you say that there are women living in your house, where is it, why didn't I see it?" You were bragging just now, you live alone at all, how can a woman live together? ”

Tang Xiaosheng pointed to the small wooden table in the room and said, "Did you see that cockroach on the table?" ”

Yue'er turned her head to look and saw that there was really a cockroach hanging around next to a bowl of instant noodles on the table of the small wooden table, her eyebrows tightened slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with this cockroach?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said seriously: "This cockroach is a mother, she has appeared in my house last month, and we have been living together for more than a month. ”

Yue'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "It turns out that the woman you are talking about refers to female cockroaches?" ”

"What, can't you?"

"Okay, yes, the question is how do you know that this cockroach is the mother?"

"If you don't believe me, you can catch the cockroaches, and we'll confront them face to face."

"Okay, catch it!"

After speaking, Yue'er rolled up her sleeves and slowly walked towards the small wooden table, as if she was really ready to catch the cockroach and come over for interrogation, but as soon as she took two steps, the cockroach noticed the abnormality and immediately fled away.

"Brother Tang, look at it, the cockroaches have fled, it is clearly weak-hearted, and it is afraid of crime and absconding!" Yue'er said with a smile.

Tang Xiaosheng said: "Who said that cockroaches are afraid of crime and abscond? She was just a little shy, and she didn't want to make the matter of her cohabitation with me public, lest the other mother's cockroaches be jealous. ”

Yue'er chuckled and said, "It turns out that Brother Tang is so liked by the mother cockroach, it's really disrespectful, disrespectful!" ”

"Of course, my popularity has always been very good."

As he was talking, at this time, Tang Xiaosheng picked up the pink box placed in the box at the bottom of the chuang and handed it to Yue'er: "Na, your crystal." ”

Seeing the box, Yue'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately took the box with both hands, and couldn't wait to take out the crystal in the shape of "angel wings".

"This crystal is really still there!"

Yue'er's fair face showed an unconcealable look of excitement, and her eyes were slightly bright.

"Huh?"

After looking at the crystal several times, at this time, Yue'er swept away, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be several Chinese characters written on the surface of the pink box, she looked carefully, and saw a total of three black pen words written on the box - "Chen Yameng".

"Chen Yameng?"

Yue'er frowned slightly, this crystal box was given to Tang Xiaosheng by her, why did the box have the words "Chen Yameng" written on it? "Chen Yameng" seems to be a girl's name, huh?

Thinking of this, Yue'er asked puzzledly: "Brother Tang, who is Chen Yameng?" (To be continued......)
