At this time, the taxi was moving smoothly on the way back. Because there is no time requirement, the speed of the car is much lower than when it came.

Cheng Qing was using the news software on her mobile phone at this time, repeatedly reading the content of the fire report just now, slightly depressed.

Only a few pictures of the fire scene were taken on the outer edge of the scene, because this welfare home is a large building and there are many adopted children, so the rescue workers and vehicles gathered at that time are almost all around. Journalists can also only bring some coverage from a distance.

The comment area under the news report was also speculated by some netizens, and Cheng Qing directly ignored this part and blocked it completely. Because these groundless speculations are completely meaningless, watching too much will bring you some bad feelings.

It is estimated that I will be able to arrive home at noon, and after arranging the affairs of this guest first, I can go to the vicinity of the welfare home in the afternoon or evening to observe.

When Cheng Qing thought of arranging Wei Yibai's affairs, she glanced to the right, but found that Wei Yibai did not continue to look at the scenery outside the window at this time, but was staring at herself.

"Is it because the scenery outside the window is boring, and suddenly I don't continue to look at it, but I feel that I seem to be more boring than the scenery outside the window."

Cheng Qing put the lock screen of her mobile phone in her pocket without a trace, and then looked away from Wei Yibai, and said half-jokingly.

"Even if you're a boring person, I just want to say that your face isn't very good right now."

Wei Yibai also turned his gaze away, looked straight ahead, and seemed to say inadvertently.

"Yes, my expression has always been like this, I'm used to it." Cheng Qing put on a wry smile, intending to cover up the past like this.

"You may not want others to know what you're thinking, but you're showing your face the emotional reaction that you have in your heart." After Wei Yibai finished speaking, it seemed that Cheng Qing's explanation seemed pale and weak.

"Obviously." After Cheng Qing closed her eyes, she leaned back against the back of the rear seat and said.

"Naturally, because your expression fluctuated so much just now, you didn't show a poker face, which is the famous Poker face." After Wei Yibai saw Cheng Qing close his eyes, he continued.

"What is a poker face?"

Cheng Qing had a slight impression of this, his father once seemed to mention this term, but that was a long time ago, and there was almost no impression in his memory. Just remember the name.

Coincidentally, now Wei Yibai took the initiative to speak and chat with him about a topic. Whether it's holding on to memories to wake up what his father used to say, or to continue the topic, he is interested in listening to it.

"Poker face usually refers to the behavior of a player in a card game who has been dealt with his or her own cards, whether good or bad, and remains silent and expressionless." Wei Yibai began her explanation.

"Master, can you lend me this deck of poker to use first?" Wei Yibai gently tapped on a box of playing cards in the car and asked.

"Oh, it's all right, that deck of cards is meant to be used by guests to entertain when they are bored during the drive, feel free to use them if you need them."

At this time, the master devoted all his attention to the road in front of him, and was not distracted by Wei Yibai's few taps on the playing cards.

And the master is also familiar with the location of everything in the car. Regarding the playing cards that Wei Yibai said, he naturally clearly understood which pair was in the car, so he simply agreed to Wei Yibai's request.

"Thank you, master." Wei Yibai picked up the box of playing cards, opened the box containing the cards, took out the playing cards from it, and placed them between the positions of Cheng Qing and Cheng Qing.

"Let's make a game, about playing cards, you and I each draw a card from this pile of playing cards," Wei Yibai gestured to Cheng Qing for the playing cards in his hand, and continued, "Then show them separately, compare the size of the points, the one with the largest number of points wins." ”

"Is it a game of luck, of course, you can try it, as the master said, to pass the time." Cheng Qing nodded in agreement.

Wei Yibai briefly shuffled the cards in front of him with extremely unskilled movements, and Cheng Qing had no choice but to interrupt: "Why don't I come, depending on the way you shuffle the cards and your actions, you must not have a lot of dealings with playing cards." ”

"Looks like you're familiar with poker." Wei Yibai did not stop the shuffling action in his hand and said to Cheng Qing.

"No, but at least I've played it a few times, and the basic shuffle will still work."

"Are you saying that I don't even know how to shuffle the cards?" Wei Yibai sensed the meaning, looked at his shuffling action again, and said helplessly.

"I didn't mean that."

"Alright, the cards are shuffled, take one from this pile in front of you." After Wei Yibai sorted out the cards, he flipped the cards to the back side up, spread them out neatly, looked at Cheng Qing and said.

Cheng Qing looked at the pile of cards, then at Wei Yibai, and said, "Lady first, you can draw one first." ”

"No problem, then I'll smoke first." Wei Yibai didn't care about the so-called order, and first drew one card from the deck.

Cheng Qing's gaze did not leave Wei Yibai at this time, but Cheng Qing did not read any information from the expression on Wei Yibai's face, whether the cards in his hand were good or bad, and did not show his face through his expression. just kept his expression before the card drawing, quietly waiting for Cheng Qing to draw cards.

Without trying to continue to guess the size of the points before the cards were revealed, Cheng Qing also drew one casually.

The number of points was four, a very small number, Cheng Qing's face darkened slightly, but it immediately returned to normal.

"You must not have a lot of points." Wei Yibai observed Cheng Qing for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"It seems that you still read the expression on my face," Cheng Qing nodded, expressing her agreement with the conclusion, and continued, "But looking at your expression, it is obvious that you are already in a very confident state." ”

"In this situation, if you don't restrain your thoughts, then it's normal for you to react to a certain extent, you're just showing a normal situation," Wei Yibai seemed to have anticipated Cheng Qing's reaction, and continued, "Then let's show our cards." ”

Is it necessary to continue to compare?

Cheng Qing thought secretly in his heart, but because he wanted to continue the game, he showed the cards in his hand at the same time as Wei Yibai after she said the cards.

What Cheng Qing didn't expect was that after the cards in Wei Yibai's hand were revealed, the points on it were three points. However, Wei Yibai's complexion still did not change, and said: "Your points are greater than mine, you won." ”

"So this is the poker face?" Cheng Qing was surprised by Wei Yibai's reaction and asked.

"That's right, no matter what cards you get, whether the points are big or small, you can be quiet, the purpose is to make the opponent unable to see through his face," Wei Yibai began to sort out the cards that were rolled out, and then said, "Whether it is this game, or what you encounter in ordinary times, the role of the poker face is particularly important, first do not disrupt your own rhythm, in order to find the enemy's flaws, defeat the enemy." ”

"However, only in the face of something very important or urgent, will you be so low, is there anything you can tell me now?" Wei Yibai turned the topic back to square one and said.

"Tell you as a friend."

Cheng Qing had no way to cover up the past with carelessness, and asked when Wei Yibai was tidying up.

"I have very few friends or something." Wei Yibai's face and voice changed slightly at this time, and he immediately returned to normal.

"The poker face you just mentioned, you yourself didn't perform well at this time, so why keep emphasizing the importance of this, isn't it good to show your truest self." Cheng Qing took in Wei Yibai's reaction and comforted helplessly.

"If you have to tell me in any capacity, then you can tell me as someone who is about to be under one roof."

Wei Yibai was a little speechless after being refuted by Cheng Qing's words, but she immediately diverted the topic, and seemed not very willing to continue to talk about herself, and said to Cheng Qing.

"Well, now, if you turn on your phone and search for news in the city, it should be a fire incident in the headlines."

"It looks like I forgot to turn on my phone after getting off the plane, can you wait for me for a while?" Wei Yibai took out his mobile phone, only to find that it was turned off.

"Well, let's open it first." Cheng Qing saw this scene at this time, and it also proved her idea that she had been unable to contact her because she forgot to turn on the phone.

"Maybe it's because of this that you can't contact me, so let's talk about it first...... I'm sorry, because the flight was too long, there was some exhaustion, and some necessary things were forgotten. ”

After Wei Yibai turned on his mobile phone, he found the column of the city in the search bar, and then searched for the keyword "fire", and after a while, many posts appeared in the search results.

Wei Yibai chose the most popular post, clicked on it, and began to read the content reported in it seriously. Almost all the pictures taken and the content described are exactly the same as the news report that Cheng Qing saw.

After reading the post carefully, I stopped at the end of the post. Not knowing how to say it, Wei Yibai looked at Cheng Qing and waited for him to continue.

"The director of that welfare home, called Qi Xinjie, has a very good relationship with my father, when I was a child, when my parents worked and left home, he would take us to the welfare home, and then take care of us personally," Cheng Qing's tone carried a trace of reminiscence of the past, and then turned to sorrow, "But in this fire, I don't know ......"

Cheng Qing stopped her words and didn't say what might happen later.

"Things will definitely go in a good direction, since this fire has happened, then you don't have to think too much, if you want to check the affairs of the welfare home first, you can get off the bus first, Aunt Wei told me the address of your house, and also gave me a spare key, I can sort out my own affairs, so you don't have to worry about it."

After Wei Yibai heard this, he was silent for a while, obviously not expecting Cheng Qing to be burdened with such a thing at this time.

Presumably, if there is no incident about his current pick-up, he may have gone to the scene to understand the situation by now.

After saying a few words of comfort to Cheng Qing, Wei Yibai obviously understood that his comfort was not very useful, because Cheng Qing still showed a worried state.

"It's okay, I'll arrange your affairs first, after all, you are now a person under one roof. I think this thing is actually very clear, and even if I go now, I guess what I see will only be like what I see in these photos. Cheng Qing moved her eyes to the news on Wei Yibai's mobile phone and said.

"All we can do now is wish them safety, and then wait for the news media to bring the latest news about the fire when the fire is extinguished."

Cheng Qing continued.

"If you think so, you've achieved my purpose of comforting you just now." Wei Yibai nodded with relief.

Cheng Qing didn't forget to remind Wei Yibai at this time: "Don't you need to call your sister abroad to report your current situation?" ”

"Thank you for the reminder, even after turning on the phone, I forgot these things." Wei Yibai said helplessly, then opened the phone book, flipped to her sister's column, and put the phone to her ear after dialing.

"Sister, I'm in my home country and I'm on my way to the city center."

"Well, that's good, I must have met Cheng Qing."

"See, Mom and Dad, are you in this city?"

"Mom and Dad are still on a business trip for the company, and there are a lot of projects to discuss, and the home that was in the city before can't go at the moment, one is because the parents are not in the city, and now they don't have the key and can't enter the house. The second is because the home has not been sorted out for a long time, and we are not at ease when you live there alone, whether it is for daily life or for safety reasons. ”

On the other end of the phone, Wei Yiqing briefly introduced to Wei Yibai the reason why she couldn't return to the home where she lived.

"In that case, why stay in .........?"

"Listen as I go on, I know what you want to ask."

The elder sister interrupted Wei Yibai's doubts first.

"Mom and Dad actually used to be classmates in college with Aunt Wei and Aunt Wei's husband, and they were very familiar with each other. It's just that some of them graduated from different majors. ”

"So do you need me to continue, Aunt Wei's family is our friends, and for you, we can rest assured that you will stay at their house."

"I understand, then if my parents come back, sister, you tell me, I haven't seen each other for three years, I still want to ......"

"If Mom and Dad come back, the first person to notify will definitely be you, my daughter hasn't seen each other for so long, they must miss you, and there is no process that I need to tell you in between."

Wei Yiqing couldn't help but shake his head on the other side of the phone, and said a little helplessly.

"Okay, if you can, you can tell Aunt Wei, then I'll hang up first." Wei Yibai had nothing to report at this time, and said.

Because at this time, Cheng Qing pointed to her mobile phone, shook her head, and signaled that she didn't want to call Yu Wei again. Wei Yibai then added one to the words just now.

"Well, be more obedient in your home country, try to make changes in your previous personality, and don't be like in a foreign country, you won't have too many partners in three years."

"Oh, I will."

Wei Yibai obviously didn't want to stay on the topic of friends for too long, and after Wei Yiqing finished explaining, he said that he would be obedient, and hung up the phone.

Without asking Wei Yiqing what he said, Cheng Qing said: "If you have any needs at home, you can find me, or find my sister, I hope you can adapt to life back in your home country as soon as possible." ”

"I'll do my best, but do you have a sister who knows anything about me?"

Wei Yibai nodded, and then asked after hearing Cheng Qing say that he had a sister just now.

"I told her that she welcomes you too." Cheng Qing tried her best to reassure Wei Yibai.

"That's fine."

"That's right...... I've got some bread here, I just bought, it's pretty much freshly baked, so if you're hungry, don't mind eating a little first. ”

Cheng Qing remembered some bread she had just purchased and put in her backpack, then unzipped her backpack and took out the bread from it.

"Thank you."

Obviously, Wei Yibai was also a little hungry, but after thinking about it, she took Cheng Qing's bread, then took one out of it and returned it to Cheng Qing. Only then did he begin to taste the food in front of him.

After Wei Yibai said thank you, he and Cheng Qing both ended the conversation, and they both looked out the window again, looking at the boring scene that was repeated many times.

Cheng Qing continued to wait for the new news from the news software on her mobile phone, took a long breath, and tried her best not to worry so much and divert her attention.

No longer looking out the window, Cheng Qing closed her eyes and decided to relieve the sleepiness caused by her earlier today, and waited for the taxi to arrive at her home.

I don't know how long it took in silence, Cheng Qing opened his eyes, and he was already a lot more awake at this time. But the journey was still relatively long, and when he was about to continue the state of closing his eyes just now, he found that Wei Yibai's sleepiness seemed to be more intense than before at this time, and he was already asleep.

After taking such a long flight, it is inevitable that you will be tired like this.

Cheng Qing thought in her heart, and just when she wanted to withdraw her gaze from Wei Yibai, she saw that Wei Yibai's center of gravity began to become unstable, but gradually tilted to his side.

No......

Cheng Qing suddenly had some expectations in his mind at this time, but he couldn't turn away. Because this will make Wei Yibai wake up directly from his sleep because of the pain caused by the head impact.

Wei Yibai's body slowly leaned on Cheng Qing's body at this time, and his head gently leaned on Cheng Qing's shoulder. It was precisely because of the cushioning of Cheng Qing's shoulders that Wei Yibai continued to fall asleep at this time.

Cheng Qing's heartbeat became violent at this time, it was the first time he had encountered such a scene. Completely losing the calmness and calmness in his life, he could only try his best to control his breathing and not disturb Wei Yibai's sleep.

"Master, if you want to turn on the air conditioner, try to turn it on as small as possible, and I hope you can turn it on slower."

Cheng Qing said softly to the master.

"Okay." The master replied.

Now we have arrived at the section of the road that is about to enter the city, and there are some traffic jams on the road section into the city, and the speed of the car has slowed down a lot, and the master can only control the air conditioning at this time.

After the master made a small stop, Cheng Qing was relieved, and she didn't know how to slow down the violent heartbeat in her heart. He looked at Wei Yibai's side face when he was asleep, and couldn't help but lose his mind slightly again.

Then, let her lean on, maybe it's her sleeping now, maybe it's the life under one roof in the future.

And Wei Yibai's detailed elaboration of the concept of poker face just now also made Cheng Qing feel good about Wei Yibai in her heart.

did not wake up Wei Yibai, and continued to maintain a steady posture, Cheng Qing looked ahead, waiting for the vehicle to drive through the blockage.

However, what even Cheng Qing didn't know was that the current state in his heart was slowly changing compared to the previous state......

After a while, the car crossed the jam and continued to move forward, but the speed was a little lower than before, and the bumps on the road were not so severe.

"This passenger, we are now in the city, it is estimated that it will not be long before we reach our destination, so prepare to get off the train in advance and do not leave any belongings behind. In addition, if you are sleeping, you had better wake her up a few minutes in advance, so that she can wake up for a while and recover her awake state, otherwise it will take a long time to buffer when she gets off the train. The master spoke up at this time and reminded Cheng Qingdao.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

After hearing the master's reminder, Cheng Qing replied.

"Right now, it's coming."

Cheng Qing whispered. After looking out the window, he saw a completely different scenery from the highway, and the bustling scene in the city made Cheng Qing feel a little relieved.

People come and go, and the traffic is busy, which is not only the rhythm of life that Cheng Qing adapts to, but also the truest portrayal of this city.
