The Taoist Cultural Festival lasted for nine days and finally came to an end on October 17.

In the evening of the same day, You You planned to return to Beijing, saying that he missed his cat and was worried that Wang Xi's little guy would not be able to take good care of his cat owner. Colleagues have nothing to do with this, the Taoist Association's dinner was very late, so they didn't join in the excitement, Gesang Langjie came to inquire about it, had dinner with them, and said goodbye to them.

"Chengdu is not far from Beijing, and your boss will come to the capital to have fun when he comes to report on work in the future." You You waved at the Tibetan young man, after getting along in the past few days, he had a good impression of this colleague, "Bye-bye." ”

Gesang grinned, his white teeth contrasting with his dark complexion, "Drive carefully, goodbye." ”

At dusk, the Hongqi car drove down the road and blended into the endless traffic.

……

Beijing, Yan Yunkai's home.

Wang Di was lying on the sofa watching TV, and there was a raccoon cat under his little feet. The cat had a pair of round eyes as clear as glass, and was holding Wang Qi's cold feet in a daze, looking very well-behaved.

"Meow!" Without warning, the cat suddenly jumped up, the fur on its back and tail exploded, looked around vigilantly, and gradually retreated to the corner of the couch.

Wang Ju turned over and sat up, excitedly went to open the door, and before he saw anyone, he shouted first: "Uncle Amber, hurry up, I'm starving to death." ”

The door opened, and Zhong Yihu was about to knock on the door, so he had to withdraw his hand and hand the packed meal to Wang Di. This kid suddenly wanted to eat at a private restaurant today, but this restaurant had no delivery service, so he had to beg Zhong Yihu to help buy it and deliver it.

"Why are you so sharp today?" Zhong Yihu asked.

Wang Ju put the fast food box on the coffee table and said, "It's not me, it's You Xiaoer." ”

You Xiaoer is the raccoon cat, its courage is very small, You You never takes it to the unit, Zhong Yihu has only seen the honor of this master in the circle of friends.

As a Siberian tiger over a thousand years old, Zhong Yihu is very disdainful of cats, but for the sake of You Xiaoer's little baby, he still restrained the demonic energy on his body.

You Xiaoer was just an ordinary cat, he was nervous, and at this time he noticed that the danger was gone, and looked at the newcomer in confusion and dazedness.

Wang Di buried his head in eating dinner, and then remembered that the cat had not eaten yet, he had food in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Uncle Amber, the cat food is in my bag, you can help feed it." ”

Zhong Yihu originally wanted to leave after delivering food to Wang Jie, but when he looked down and saw You Xiaoer's clear and ignorant big round eyes, he was stunned, and resigned himself to taking out a bag of cat food from Wang Jie's bag, unpacking it, and throwing one into his mouth.

Cat: "? ”

"Ho. The taste is not bad. Zhong Yihu was surprised. He poured a little cat food on his plate, sat on the couch by himself, and ate the cat food as a snack.

You Xiaoer stared at Zhong Yihu, as if he was very dissatisfied, Zhong Yihu looked at it very calmly, his eyes turned into animal pupils in an instant, and a small piece of tiger stripes appeared on his neck. "Meow!" The tanuki cat sprang out a long way, watching the monster cautiously.

"Don't scare it." Wang Di persuaded, "Xiao Er recognized Xie Zhi as his godfather, and people also have backers, okay!" ”

"Huh?"

“…… Xie Zhi was also forced by You You, You You originally wanted to find you, but you happened to be not in Beijing at that time. ”

You Xiaoer was taken home by You You a month ago, and Zhong Yihu was in his hometown in the Northeast at that time.

Zhong Yihu pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, and beckoned to the raccoon cat: "Come here, come here, I won't scare you." ”

"Yan Yunkai, they'll be home in a while." Wang Ju glanced at the time.

Half an hour later, Yan Yunkai and Zhao stole the plane back home, You You came to pick You Xiaoer back, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a fluffy cat's head buried in the food bowl, eating deliciously.

After driving for several hours, You You was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa, raised his foot and kicked Zhong Yihu, telling him to give up a little position. Zhong Yihu took out a piece of cat food, threw it in the air, raised his head and opened his mouth to accurately hold the cat food.

"Where did you buy this cat food? It's pretty tasty. ”

"......" You You waved his hand weakly, "I will place an order tomorrow to buy you a few bags." ”

"Thank you."

Yan Yun opened his luggage and turned to the kitchen to take a look, but he didn't even have a cup of hot water, so he had to take a kettle to boil water, and asked Zhao to take a few Cokes from the refrigerator and go out.

Zhao opened the refrigerator and frowned, before they went on a business trip, Yan Yunkai bought a box of cakes and put them in the refrigerator, and today it has passed the expiration date. He took out the cake box, threw it in the trash, and took three more cans of Coke to the living room.

The 86th version of Journey to the West is being played on TV, and the little white dragon is freed out of the water, worshipping Tang Seng as a teacher under the guidance of Guanyin, and then turning into a white horse for foot strength. Wang Ji liked this TV series very much, and watched it more than ten times, at this moment, Zhao Thief passed in front of the TV, blocking his view, and he was unhappy to ask Zhao Thief to move away a little.

"I heard you're checking a white dragon?" Zhong Yihu didn't participate in these things, so he didn't know much about it, but he just heard Xie Zhi mention it by chance.

You You pulled open the pull ring of the can and replied, "At present, I can't even be sure whether it is a white dragon or two white dragons. ”

Zhao Leaned over to tidy up the messy coffee table a little, heard their conversation, lowered his eyelashes and didn't speak. You Xiaoer finally raised his face from the food bowl, and licked his paws contentedly after eating, only then did he notice that his master was also there, and paced towards You You with elegant steps. The aisle between the coffee table and the sofa was a little narrow, and it accidentally bumped into Zhao Thief's calf, raised its head, and looked at each other for two seconds.

You Xiaoer arched his body suddenly, his hair exploded, and he jumped into You You's arms with lightning speed.

"......" Zhao Thief was a little speechless, he restrained his demonic aura, and now he is the breath of an ordinary person.

"It's really too timid." Zhong Yihu said.

You You smoothed the fur of the raccoon cat: "There's no way, it's very afraid of being raw." ”

"You put it in the unit for a few days to ensure that you can train your courage."

You You hesitated: "Alas, let's talk about it." ”

Yan Yun opened the refrigerator and found that the refrigerator now had nothing but drinks and wine, and opened the cabinet again to see that even the hidden snacks had been eaten up by Wang Cut, and there was nothing to entertain the guests.

"Don't be busy." You You called him, "Come and rest for a while." ”

Yan Yunkai walked to the living room and collapsed on the sofa, You Xiaoer liked him very much and took the initiative to rub on his legs. Yan Yunkai stroked the cat with one hand and sent WeChat to his parents with the other, so that the second elder would know that he had arrived home safely.

After sitting for a while, the guests got up to say goodbye, You You was scared to drive, and asked Zhong Yihu to send him home, and Wang Zhi also followed back to the unit.

You Xiaoer was originally very reluctant to Yan Yunkai, and he didn't want to leave until Zhao Thief slowly walked to Yan Yunkai's side, and it jumped on You You with a spirit.

A few people waved goodbye and went back to their homes.

In the next few days, Yan Yunkai stayed at home and was reluctant to go out, in addition to going home under the urging of his parents, Ms. You Daidai also asked him why he didn't bring his boyfriend home for dinner.

This misunderstanding was very deep, Yan Yunkai didn't bother to explain, and only shirked that the cohabitant was very busy, and he had the opportunity to take him home to meet his parents again.

He probably knew that Zhao Thief Machine seemed to be at ease with what happened, but in fact he didn't care about his temperament, and he also knew Zhao Thief's coldness, so he couldn't imagine that Zhao Thief would have the opportunity to act with him, so he only dared to borrow a gimmick, and he didn't even dare to let the parties know.

After two months of peace and quiet, until the day before the winter solstice, Ms. You Daidai asked him to bring her boyfriend home again.

"I remember that Xiao Zhao is a foreigner, right?" Ms. You said, "Bring it back for the holidays together, you are always reluctant to bring someone home, he will think that you don't love him anymore." ”

It's not that kind of relationship in the first place!

Yan Yunkai lay on the sofa and applied a mask, glanced at Zhao who was sitting on another sofa and was looking at his mobile phone, and sighed helplessly: "Mom, I'll explain it to you tomorrow, it's a long story......."

"I don't want you to explain, you give your phone to Xiao Zhao, and I'll tell him personally."

Yan Yunkai: "...... Wait a minute. ”

Zhao Thief Machine just raised his head and glanced at Yan Yunkai. The latter's expression became very subtle, but he was wearing a mask, and Zhao couldn't see it.

Yan Yunkai covered his mobile phone and whispered to Zhao Thief, "Hey, do me a little favor, OK?" ”

"What?" Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"My mom wants to talk to you. It's a bit of a hassle to explain, anyway, uh, it's me who is sorry for you. Yan Yunkai was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, the mask paper covered his expression, he opened a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, and tried his best to look sincere, "My mother has always misunderstood that you are my boyfriend and wants to invite you to our house for dinner." ”

Zhao Thief's face was expressionless, in fact, he didn't know what kind of expression to make, and after a while, he said softly: "No." "He's not really good at socializing, let alone going to someone's house to eat with a special identity.

What does it mean to refuse to be misunderstood or refuse to go to dinner? Yan Yunkai was a little puzzled, but he still softened his tone and said in a good voice: "Please tell her." ”

Zhao was silent for a moment before getting up and taking the phone from Yan Yunkai's hand.

"Hello."

"Hello, is it Xiao Zhao?" Ms. You smiled softly, "Tomorrow is the winter solstice, come and have a meal together at home, right?" ”

Zhao Thief lowered his eyes, watching Yan Yunkai wink at him, he couldn't help but want to laugh, and subconsciously picked the corners of his mouth, but the next moment he said seriously to the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, the unit will have to work overtime tomorrow, it may not be very convenient." I will definitely visit next time I have a chance. ”

Ms. You was very sorry and said, "Okay, you must let Yunkai take you back in the future, grandpa and dad also want to see you." ”

"Yes, it will. Thank you for having me. Zhao said calmly, "Goodbye." ”

Yan Yunkai was stunned.

Zhao Thief returned the phone to him, and the call had already hung up, but Yan Yunkai didn't care about this, sat up in surprise, took off the mask, and looked at the tall man in front of him as if he knew him for the first time.

"You're lying?" He poked Zhao Thief's tight waist, "Are you really Zhao Thief?" It can't be possessed by some lonely ghost, right? ”

In the old customs, the winter solstice is also one of the Halloween festivals, and these days the door of the underworld is often opened, and many unreincarnated ghosts sneak into the world.

Having said that, Zhao Theft Machine is powerful, and it is obviously impossible to be possessed by wild ghosts.

"Sometimes, you don't do something because you don't have to." Zhao said lightly, and also used a very modern point of view to highlight the knowledge points he learned from Weibo, "Human nature is very complicated, don't label people casually." ”

Yan Yunkai said: "I know, but I always think you are ......" I feel that although you have lived for thousands of years, you still give people a sense of cleanliness and innocence that is not deeply involved in the world.

He didn't have the second half of the sentence, thought about it, and sneered: "Okay, it's my vision that is too limited." But we made an oath, so don't lie to me. ”

“…… Well. Under Yan Yunkai's gentle and smiling eyes, Zhao Thief responded.

Concealing it shouldn't be a lie, he thought.
