The mother looked up at the back of Chen Yuanyuan returning to the house, thought about it, and let Chen Yifan play by herself, and she walked to Chen Yuanyuan's door.

"Chen Yuanyuan open the door, I have something to tell you." Mother knocked on the door.

"Oh..." Chen Yuanyuan answered, put on his shoes and opened the door.

When the mother came in, she first looked at the simple furnishings in Chen Yuanyuan's room, hesitated, and finally decided to explain the matter.

"Yuanyuan, how much have you been spending your money lately?" Mother asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.

“... Not much. Chen Yuanyuan thought for a while.

"Then you took the change from my house, right?" Hearing her answer like this, the mother frowned and asked.

"Well... Because I don't have money to eat. When Chen Yuanyuan heard this, he knew what was going on, so he didn't hide it, and told the purpose of taking the money.

“...... Could it be that your appetite has increased again? When the mother heard her say the reason so happily, she was obviously stunned, and her expression was very unnatural, "Otherwise, the money I gave you should be enough..."

"Ah, it's a little bit up." Chen Yuanyuan said nonchalantly, "I haven't had time to tell you yet." ”

"Tell me about this sooner next time, I'm not foolish," the mother breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "You're growing up now, how much do you eat...... It's normal at all, huh... I'll give you some pocket money tomorrow, but you have to remember that you can't spend it indiscriminately, you know? ”

"Yes, I know." Chen Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

After saying that, the mother went out of the room.

"It's so sensitive..."Chen Yuanyuan lay on the bed, put the pillow in his arms and hugged it, "If I put the change... I won't notice that it's missing..."

"Thanks to this, I don't seem to need to worry about food money for the time being." Chen Yuanyuan thought, "Then will I go to Sun Guoliang's tomorrow to withdraw money?" ”

"Let's go." Chen Yuanyuan looked at the ceiling, "His state today is obviously not right, I will persuade him tomorrow." ”

"Well... By the way, rub another meal. ”

......

The next day, Chen Yuanyuan was lazy in bed until nearly ten o'clock, before getting up and going straight to the bookstore.

"It's not good to go early or late." That's her reasoning.

Today's Xiao Wang, however, is here, still sitting there as if he didn't wake up as before.

"Yo, Xiao Wang, where did you go yesterday?" Chen Yuanyuan leaned on the counter and asked him.

"Ah..." Xiao Wang first stood up in panic when he heard the voice, and then when he found out that it was Chen Yuanyuan, he let go and patted his chest, "It's you, scare me." ”

“... Could it be that you were just sleeping? Chen Yuanyuan found a problem, "Otherwise, you should know that I came in when you face this side." ”

“... You be quiet. Xiao Wang blushed and put his right index finger in front of his mouth, "Usually no one comes here, you also know Sun... Grandpa, I don't like to put magazines and comics in the store, and most of the people who can come here are elderly acquaintances or students who buy reference books..."

"Uh-oh." As if he had been taught, Chen Yuanyuan nodded, and pressed down the twin peaks on his chest again, "What about that?" ”

"It's summer vacation now, of course students won't come," Xiao Wang's eyes stared directly at the softness on Chen Yuanyuan's arms, swallowed his saliva, and continued, "And those acquaintances usually come over at dinner time when the weather is cooler, so..."

"So if you doze off, no one knows, right?" A voice came from behind Xiao Wang.

"Yes, yes..."Xiao Wang replied subconsciously, and then saw Chen Yuanyuan looking behind him with a smile, he was frightened, and quickly changed his words, "No... That's not true. ”

"None of my business." Chen Yuanyuan pointed to his chest with a finger, "Who made your attention focus here!" ”

"I guessed you'd come at this time, well, come in." Sun Guoliang's state today is much normal, the only thing that makes Chen Yuanyuan feel inappropriate is that he doesn't seem to have much energy.

"And Xiao Wang, you..."Sun Guoliang looked at him with a pitiful look and shook his head, "Continue to sleep with you, if you are not comfortable, go up to the house and get a small cushion." ”

"No... No need... I'll be fine with that. Xiao Wang originally thought that he would be told, but he didn't expect it to be such a result.

"She seems to be more beautiful than the one in the book..."After Xiao Wang saw Sun Guoliang enter the back room, he turned out the 'treasures' that he didn't usually read, "I really want to rub it..."

......

"What? Look like you didn't sleep well last night. Chen Yuanyuan said after taking the bank card handed over by Sun Guoliang.

"I saw it and asked." Sun Guoliang picked up the teacup from the desk and took a sip.

"Don't I think there's nothing to say!" Chen Yuanyuan justifiably argued, "Otherwise, it's boring to just stay." ”

"......" Sun Guoliang was speechless by this sentence, so he could only drink the tea with his head down.

After a while.

“... Today at noon... What do you eat? Chen Yuanyuan looked at the time and asked pretending to be very unconcerned.

"Eat instant noodles, what? You want some? Sun Guoliang squinted at Chen Yuanyuan, and pointed to the instant noodle box not far away.

"Huh?! No, I can't. Chen Yuanyuan's tone was obviously disappointed, "You are so old, you always eat this thing badly." ”

"I don't always eat it." Sun Guoliang poured another cup of tea slowly, "It's just that I eat it twice a month, and today you just caught up." ”

“...... You can't tell you the truth, can you? Chen Yuanyuan asked again with a bitter face, "I haven't eaten until now..."

“... Do you really use me as a cafeteria? When Sun Guoliang heard her say this, he didn't hold the teacup, "Good guy, especially for an empty stomach, come to me to eat..."

“...... Grandchild... Father... Master..."Chen Yuanyuan found that his tone was a little soft, and felt that there was an opportunity, so he immediately stood up, walked behind Sun Guoliang, and pinched his shoulder, "I haven't eaten enough for several days, you see my arms are hungry..."

"It's really fine?" Sun Guo asked curiously.

"Of course, you see." Chen Yuanyuan took a good look and stretched out his right arm in front of him.

"......," Sun Guo said in his conscience, "how can I see it if you let me see it like this." ”

"So... How about we eat chicken thighs at noon today? Chen Yuanyuan didn't care if Sun Guoliang didn't reply, and still worked hard, "Chicken legs are not good... Let's change something else..."

"Alright, alright, I got it." Sun Guoliang took out his pocket as he spoke, and then changed his pocket and took it out, "... I forgot, I ran out of cash yesterday..."

"......" Chen Yuanyuan just saw his happy face, and sank again.

"I didn't lie to you, yesterday I was with ...... My friend went home..."Sun Guoliang said this, not only paused twice, but finally stopped before he could finish speaking.

"Well... Today since you have no money... Then I'll ask you. After seeing the 'struggle' on his face, Chen Yuanyuan proposed with a heartache, "... You always say that I am here to eat. ”
