Chapter 10: Returning Home
"I'm almost home, it's time to get up."
Cheng Qing was almost stuck in Wei Yibai, who woke up at a point, and now the distance to Cheng Qing's house is not far, and it is estimated that the drive will only take about five minutes.
"I'm sorry for the rudeness." After Wei Yibai was woken up by Cheng Qing, he saw that he was leaning on Cheng Qing almost all of them, and then calculated based on when he was asleep, indicating that Cheng Qing had maintained this posture for a long time in order not to disturb his sleep.
"It's okay, get ready, just get out of the car." Cheng Qing tried to move her arm, but found that she was already paralyzed and couldn't move, so she could only slowly recover.
Xiaoxi's words should have arrived at home, I hope she can tidy up the house......
This is Cheng Qing's only thought at the moment.
Because Cheng Qing has been at home alone for a while now, naturally, he doesn't care so much, which leads to a very bad hygiene situation at home.
Of course, it would be rude to welcome a new guest in this setting.
And Cheng Qing got up late in the morning because of laziness, so he needed to hurry up all the time to rush to Dongdu International Airport. So there is no time to clean up the house.
At this time, I can only pin my trust on my sister who went home first.
After a short time, the speed slowed down slowly until it came to a steady stop. The taxi had already entered the community where Cheng Qing's family lived and arrived at the bottom of the building where Cheng Qing lived.
Cheng Qing tried to move her arm at this time, but she still felt it and returned to normal.
"Then, thank you, master."
After Cheng Qing asked the price, she handed over the money for this trip to the master, and then opened the car door. After getting out of the car, he looked at the surrounding environment, which was still as familiar as usual, which made Cheng Qing feel more steady.
opened the trunk of the car, took out Wei Yibai's suitcase from it, looked at Wei Yibai who got out of the car, and said, "This is my home, go upstairs." ”
"yes, okay."
At this time, someone happened to come out of the building, saving Cheng Qing the time to swipe the card to lift the access control. Cheng Qing quickly ran over with the box, pushed the door, and waited until Wei Yibai walked in the door before following in.
Because someone went downstairs just now, the elevator happened to stop on the first floor, and after the two walked in, Cheng Qing pressed the button on the floor of his house, stood aside, and waited for the elevator door to close automatically.
After a while, the two arrived at the floor where Cheng Qing lived and walked to the door of the house.
After Cheng Qing fumbled in her pocket, she took out a key, skillfully opened the door, and after pulling the door open and walking in, she was surprised by the scene in front of her.
What Cheng Qing saw at this time was Lin Xinlu cleaning up all the garbage at home. At the same time, she also arranged all the cluttered things in the house one by one as they were.
"This is ......" Cheng Qing stood at the door of the house, her body only felt a lot stiffer, and she couldn't believe why this scene in front of her had happened. I heard my sister say that Lin Xinlu is the young lady in her family, so her housekeeping is in charge of Aunt Tao, but now she personally helps him tidy up the housework......
"Ah, welcome back, if you need to use the bathroom, you may need to wait a while before you can use it, Xiaoxi is taking a bath because the itinerary is a little dirty." Lin Xinlu looked up and only saw Cheng Qing who entered the door, then lowered her head and continued to do housework.
"No, no, no...... No, why would you help me clean up my house......" Cheng Qing was very puzzled and puzzled by this, and hurriedly asked Lin Xinlu.
"This is because I saw that your house was very messy, and there would be new guests coming soon, so I wanted to help you tidy it up." Lin Xinlu replied.
It seems that Lin Xinlu and I have thought about it together.
Cheng Qing was glad that the two had the same ideas, but fortunately Lin Xinlu helped him tidy up, otherwise he would think that the messy family would be miserable.
"By the way, what about the guests you're going to bring?" Lin Xinlu asked because she didn't see Wei Yibai standing outside the door.
"Is she the mistress of the house, or your sister?" After Wei Yibai whispered a word to Cheng Qing outside the door, he patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to get out of the way.
walked in, and glanced at Lin Xinlu.
The atmosphere froze a little for a while, Cheng Qing saw that the situation was not right and just wanted to interrupt the stalemate between the two, but both of them finally took the initiative to stretch out their hands and hold them together.
Wei Yibai said: "I am Wei Yibai, who is new to this family, please take care of me in the future." Are you Cheng Qing's? ”
"Ordinary classmate, my name is Lin Xinlu, and it is Cheng Qing's sister who is taking a bath, you need to greet her." Lin Xinlu said.
"Thank you for informing me." After Wei Yibai terminated the topic, he also let go of his hand.
"Even if I don't need to say this, Cheng Qing will tell you," Lin Xinlu shook her head, signaling her not to thank her, and then looked at Cheng Qing, "Xiaoxi arrived home safely, and the house is almost tidy up, so I'll leave first." ”
"Stay a little longer, you've worked so hard to help me......"
"No need, my mission is to send Xiaoxi home, and there is still a little thing at home." Lin Xinlu waved her hand and said, "It's already noon, I have already ordered takeout for you and put it in the kitchen, including the newcomer." That, goodbye. ”
"Oh...... Okay, thank you then, goodbye. Cheng Qing saw Lin Xinlu's resignation, and she could only say goodbye.
"It's fine."
After Lin Xinlu left, he closed the door, and Wei Yibai said to Cheng Qing: "Is it really just an ordinary classmate?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, of course it's just an ordinary classmate." Cheng Qing said as she took Wei Yibai around the house to let her understand the structure of the home.
"The house is divided into two floors, and there are three rooms on the second floor, mainly for resting personal rooms, which are for me, my sister, and my mother, because my mother has been working abroad for many years, so her room is vacant, so you can live in her room."
"The innermost third room is mine, you can come to me with any questions and requests. The second room is my sister's, of course, you can also look for her, she is not so afraid of the living, and she is also very easy to get along with. The outermost room, which is your current room, go inside. After Cheng Qing walked upstairs with Wei Yibai's luggage, she arrived at the door of the first room.
There was a key inserted in the door lock of the room, Cheng Qing did not twist it, but pulled the key off, gently pressed the doorknob down, and opened the door directly.
Because Cheng Qing regularly cleans the room vacated after her mother's business trip, and there is no valuable information left in it, Cheng Qing is too lazy to lock the door, and it is too troublesome to unlock it repeatedly.
Inserting the key in the lock is also to prevent Cheng Qing from forgetting where she put a bunch of unused keys.
"I'll leave this set of keys to you." Cheng Qing lightly raised the key in her hand, and after Wei Yibai stretched out her hand, she put the key in her palm.
"I'll take care of it."
When you open the room, a light breeze blows, and at the same time, the sunlight comes in, making the room full of freshness.
Cheng Qing put the suitcase next to the bed and said, "Now you can clean up your luggage or something, all the items in this room are tidy, the wardrobe, and the bed are carefully tidied up, and it will not be full of dust because the room has been uninhabited for a long time." ”
"Thanks, I'm not in a hurry to clean up my luggage, I'd better familiarize myself with other things at home with you first." Wei Yibai thanked Cheng Qing, who helped her carry her luggage all the way, and then said.
"It's okay, so let's keep walking around." After taking Wei Yibai downstairs, Cheng Qing thought about where to introduce it, and then began to explain.
"This is the kitchen, next to the refrigerator, which contains some ingredients for cooking that day, and some drinks, you can take whatever you want from it, coffee, soft drinks, mineral water." Cheng Qing opened the refrigerator and looked at Wei Yibai, expressing the meaning of asking her if she needed a drink.
Wei Yibai pointed to the mineral water and said, "Take me and I'll take a bottle of mineral water." ”
Cheng Qing took a bottle of mineral water, then helped her unscrew the cap first, handed it to Wei Yibai, closed the refrigerator, and continued to introduce: "All the kitchen utensils in the kitchen are complete, so you can use them at any time if you need them." ”
"Then there is a balcony outside, where you can dry your clothes, if you are in a bad mood, you can also come here to blow the wind, the mood will be a lot more comfortable, although it may be hotter to stand outside in the summer now. Usually at night, the night view is beautiful and worth seeing. ”
"Then there's the study, and there's a lot of books on the shelves, but most of them are materials from my parents' majors. There are also about law and biochemistry, so if you are interested, it is good to look at the pastime. My goal is to be a good lawyer like my father, so I occasionally come to my study to read some information about the law. ”
"Your Father......"
Wei Yibai hesitated for a moment, but still brought up this topic, because both Yu Wei and Cheng Qing seemed to be deliberately not mentioning Cheng Qing's father before.
"My father is a lawyer, he opened a law firm, usually busy because of various commissions, a few years ago, because of a traffic accident ......" Cheng Qing's face darkened a lot.
Seeing this, Wei Yibai immediately apologized and said, "I shouldn't have asked, I'm sorry for reminding you of something sad." ”
"Oh, it's okay, let's keep walking around a bit." Cheng Qing shook her head to show that she didn't care, took a book on the bookshelf and flipped through it casually, and then carefully put it back in its place, and walked out with Wei Yibai.
"This is a tea room, which my parents used to use to receive guests, and I used to see them use it when I was a child, but then because they were on a business trip, and I didn't know some of the operation matters, and I didn't like to drink tea, so I kept it idle. There are many types of fine tea leaves, and if you need to stay up late, making tea is also a good choice in addition to coffee. ”
"But I only do some cosmetic cleaning of this tea room every time, and some of the machines still need to be cleaned by my mother or professionals." Cheng Qing just took Wei Yibai to take a casual look at the door and walked to the next room.
"This is the bathroom, one of them is the bathroom, but ......" Cheng Qing pointed to the bathroom with the door closed, and the sound of the hair dryer from inside seemed to be heard outside, it should be Cheng Xi drying his hair after washing.
"Is that your sister in there?" Wei Yibai looked at Cheng Qing and asked.
"Yes, her name is Cheng Xi, Cheng who has the same surname as me, and Xi of Chenxi." Cheng Qing simply told Wei Yibai the name of her sister.
"Then I'll say hello to her when she comes out." Wei Yibai nodded and said.
"Okay, I hope you can get along."
And Cheng Qing suddenly seemed to remember something at this time, and said: "I just came back and only paid attention to introducing things at home, and I forgot to turn on the air conditioner in this stuffy weather." The air conditioning was in the living room, it was central air conditioning, and I turned it on immediately. ”
Cheng Qing immediately found the remote control and turned on the air conditioner, and after feeling the cool wind blowing down from the air conditioner, she sat down on the sofa with confidence.
"All the program content in the TV can be searched, you can find whatever you want to watch, and there is no limit to the time you can use, such as watching horror movies late at night."
"I don't watch horror movies, current affairs news is fine."
Although he knew that Cheng Qing wanted to tell her that she could use the TV at will, she was still a little speechless about the example given by Cheng Qing at the end of her words, Wei Yibai tuned the channel to the news station to watch after Cheng Qing turned on the TV.
"Oh, another point is that in the three rooms upstairs, each room is equipped with its own separate computer, and the computer has no password, so you can use it freely."
"Then the computer in my room belongs to Auntie, doesn't it matter?" Wei Yibai was worried that when he used it, he might delete some important files on the computer by mistake, so he asked.
"It doesn't matter, my mother's computer should have been emptied of the data, she copied the data on the computer to the portable hard drive when she left the house before, so the computer in my mother's room is no different from the new one."
"I see." Wei Yibai nodded.
"Brother!"
When Cheng Qing and Wei Yibai had just finished the topic, suddenly a voice came from the room, and the sound source walked quickly to the living room, and after seeing Cheng Qing, he ran to his side and sat down very happily.
The source of the voice was naturally Cheng Xi, who had finished taking a bath and changed into a new set of clothes. When Cheng Xi saw Wei Yibai, he showed a smile and said, "Are you the guest my brother is going to pick up today, that is, that sister?" ”
"Yes, hello, my name is Wei Yibai, then I'll call you Xiaoxi, okay?" Wei Yibai was infected by the enthusiasm that came out of Cheng Xi's smile, and said with the same smile.
"Okay! Then I'll call you Sister Yibai. ”
Cheng Xi nodded, then looked at Cheng Qing and complained: "My brother didn't care about his own sister when he was in the summer camp in order to pick up the beautiful young lady, and left his sister at the train station, but fortunately, Sister Xinlu came to pick me up." ”
"This ...... I can't help this......" Cheng Qing looked at her sister helplessly and said with a wry smile.
"However," Cheng Xi leaned sideways towards Cheng Qing, hugged him, and said, "You are still my favorite brother, welcome home." ”
"Your relationship is so good." Wei Yibai sat aside, took a sip of water, and said.
"Yes...... It's just too clingy. Looking at Cheng Xi on the side, his eyes were full of pampering and helplessness.
"Do you remember your sister?"
"Well, in the past three years abroad, she has been taking care of me every day, and I missed her a little not long after I left her." Wei Yibai's eyes were a little lonely and missing.
"Sister Yibai...... If you can, we will now be counted as your family, after all, we will live under the same roof now, for a period of time in the future. Cheng Xi got up and walked to Wei Yibai's side, sat down, and comforted Wei Yibai.
"Well, I'm fine." When Wei Yibai heard Cheng Xi's comfort, the strong sense of loneliness in his heart seemed to have decreased a lot.
"Ding-dong."
At this time, the doorbell suddenly rang at the door of the house.
Cheng Qing was a little puzzled, who would come to their house at this point, and did not stand up and open the door for the time being. The people outside the door seemed to have lost a little patience because no one had opened the door after a period of time, and rang the doorbell several times in a row again.
"The voices coming out of the TV news tell me that there are people inside, and you still want to do it." The man outside the door said loudly.
Cheng Qing inside the door heard the word "Aze", as if she had awakened an important part of her memory, and immediately got up and walked to the door of the house and opened the door.
Outside the door was a boy about the same age as Cheng Qing, at this time he was sweating profusely, and he was holding a very cute white cat in his arms, the white cat was very excited after seeing Cheng Qing, and immediately broke free from the arms of the boy standing at the door and pounced on Cheng Qing.
"It's naughty." After the white cat jumped into Cheng Qing's arms, it obviously settled down a lot. Quietly lowered his head under Cheng Qing's touch, accompanied by a gentle "meow" sound.
"You also know that your Aze is naughty," said the boy at the door, "it has not listened to me, it stayed at my house for one night yesterday, and has been making trouble in my room, but fortunately my parents went out to work the night shift last night, otherwise I would not have dared to bring you a cat." ”
This cat was selected by Cheng Qing and Cheng Xi together in the pet store, named Aze, Cheng Qing and his sister have also raised it for a long time, and in their hearts, Aze is also an indispensable part of this family.
"Thank you then, enthusiastic Xu Huichen." Cheng Qing said helplessly.
The reason for the incident was that Cheng Qing didn't want to make a fuss at home because she left the house early this morning and her pet cat couldn't find him. So the night before the pick-up, Cheng Qing entrusted the cat to a classmate named Xu Huichen.
Xu Huichen is one of Cheng Qing's few friends in the class, and he is also a person he trusts very much. Although they often complain about Cheng Qing like just now, the relationship between the two belongs to a particularly good type.
And Xu Huichen, with his handsome appearance and excellent academic performance, is second only to the class leader in Cheng Qing's class, and he has also gained the hearts of a large number of girls, but he himself does not make any response to this.
His acquaintance with Cheng Qing was a very coincidence, and when he went to the military training venue to take the bus at the beginning of high school, he happened to sit in a row. When they arrived at the military training venue and divided the bedrooms, the two of them also happened to be in the upper and lower bunks. Coupled with Xu Huichen's talkative and cheerful personality, the two naturally became friends.
Moreover, Xu Huichen is a loyal bicycle enthusiast, one of his bicycles is more expensive than a car, and it is full of extremely sophisticated high-end accessories, and it will cost a lot of money every time he cares for the vehicle.
Xu Huichen has opened a famous restaurant in his home, which has won various awards in the catering industry many times, and the daily flow of customers is endless, and it is difficult to book a reservation, which also makes his family very rich. Xu Huichen's development in his hobbies has a lot to do with his family conditions and the support of his parents.
And every holiday, Xu Huichen will make a cycling plan to travel the entire Dongdu City by cycling. During the ride, he accumulated a lot of knowledge of the culture and geography of the Eastern Capital, and he could accurately tell him about some places in the Eastern Capital when asked.
"Give." At this time, Cheng Xi took out a bottle of ice soda from the kitchen refrigerator and handed it to Xu Huichen, who was sweating profusely outside the door.
"It's better to be Xiaoxi, you should follow her to learn how to do things, otherwise you will have so few friends." Xu Huichen took the soda and said to Cheng Qing. Then he looked at Cheng Xi and said, "Thank you, Xiaoxi." ”
"It's fine." Cheng Xi obediently stood beside Cheng Qing and said.
"Friends are not used to show off how much, the key is whether the friend is in line with your own vision. There are not many friends, but fine," Cheng Qing shrugged, obviously ignoring Xu Huichen's words to make more friends, "You came by bicycle, it's hard in the summer, come in and sit down?" ”
"Yes, even if it's hot in summer, cycling and exercising is still essential." After Xu Huichen took a sip of soda, Cheng Qing handed him a pack of tissues to wipe his sweat. After relieving himself, Xu Huichen continued: "I'll stay soon, and I still have a bicycle riding task today, but this is ......?" ”
Xu Huichen saw Wei Yibai, who had just stood up and stood quietly next to Cheng Qing, and asked.
"This is Wei Yibai, is it ...... A guest who needs to come to my house for a while. Cheng Qing explained.
suddenly remembered the scene when Wei Yibai said "I have few friends" in the taxi, and Cheng Qing seemed to see Wei Yibai's lonely eyes again.
"Well...... Actually, it's my friend. After thinking about it, Cheng Qing hurriedly added an explanation.
"My name is Xu Huichen, and I am also a friend of this guy, maybe he sometimes makes you unhappy, this is his character, be more considerate." Xu Huichen said politely.
"Well, I will." Wei Yibai noticed the change in Cheng Qing's words, and his facial expression changed, but he didn't continue to talk to the face in front of him, nodded and immediately sat back on the sofa and continued to watch the news on TV.
"Physics will be standing at the door soon, and the air conditioner is still on in the room," Xu Huichen waved his hand and said, "Then I'll go first." ”
"Goodbye." Cheng Qing and Cheng Xi waved their hands and said at the same time.
After seeing Xu Huichen take the elevator downstairs and leave, Cheng Qing closed the door, Cheng Xi looked at the cat in Cheng Qing's arms, and stroked it the same, and said, "Aze is only good when we are here, right?" ”
Aze felt Cheng Xi's touch, and after listening to the words, he "meowed" quite spiritually.
"This is also a member of our family, its name is Aze, and he is very recognizable, but he is very obedient with us." Carrying Aze to Wei Yibai's side, Cheng Qing introduced to her.
"Ah...... Marsh? Wei Yibai put his hand on Aze and stroked it gently, but Aze did not resist, but meekly let Wei Yibai caress him.
"Hug it." After Cheng Qing put Aze on the sofa, he said to Wei Yibai.
"May I?" It seems that Wei Yibai likes cats very much, and hugged Aze a little excitedly.
Aze was obediently picked up, and his head rested lightly on Wei Yibai's chest. Wei Yibai saw that Aze was so obedient, and continued to pet the cat.
After Cheng Qing saw this scene, she couldn't help but complain to Aze in her heart, and at the same time thought of poor Xu Huichen, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that Aze also likes you a lot, and I'm not afraid of you at all, so I have to get along well in the future." ”
"Hmm!"
"Meow!"
While Wei Yibai nodded, Aze also said loudly, looking very fond of Wei Yibai.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Cheng Qing looked at various places in the house again, everything was so familiar, and he was completely relieved.
Aze was so pleasing, and the smiles of Cheng Xi and Wei Yibai made Cheng Qing deeply infected.
It's still only at home that it can be so warm.
