The light bulb in the kitchen seemed to be in poor contact, flickering on and off, so Su Chengyi took a look at the surplus food at home.

The refrigerator room of the refrigerator was empty, and there were several packets of quick-frozen dumplings in the freezer, Su Chengyi picked it up and took a look at the production date, which was already half a year ago.

There is a whole box of instant noodles and a whole box of mineral water in the locker.

Su Chengyi sighed and closed the refrigerator door.

He put the two eggs given by Granny Xu on the side of the stove, ready to cook noodles and eat them casually.

When he was 12 years old, his parents divorced, and within a short period of time, they started their own families.

Both had the intention of bringing him into a new family, but he resisted the feeling of being forced to fit in.

Although they are biological parents, they already have newborn children.

He stayed in that environment, and he was always a bit of an outsider.

The taste under the fence will only be known after tasting it.

He just wanted to get away from it, so he chose to live alone in the old house very early.

Fortunately, the school he studied at was strictly managed, and he went to school early and left school late.

He basically eats three meals a day in the school cafeteria, and when he needs to eat at home, he eats instant noodles to make do.

Su Chengyi has no talent for cooking, and he really has no interest in learning.

Even the simplest fried eggs were learned slowly after he worked.

Heat the oil in the pot and beat the eggs with one hand, and he skillfully fried two golden soft-boiled eggs.

As soon as the water was boiled and prepared below, the mobile phone rang in the living room.

Su Chengyi wiped his hands and followed the sound around before he found the mobile phone that was thrown in at random in the middle of the gap in the sofa.

It's the iPhone5s that my dad gave me, and it's the latest model I can buy at the moment.

After the divorce, one of the ways the clumsy old father compensated Su Chengyi was to send these expensive electronic products.

When he first got started, he only felt that the screen was a little uncomfortable.

The caller ID is "Mom".

Su Chengyi is also very resistant to answering the phone, and he will be a little anxious just by hearing the phone ringing.

He stared at the screen and took a deep breath before pressing the answer button.

"Bump, two."

The sound of noisy human voices and mahjong colliding came.

The mother on the other side of the earpiece didn't realize that Su Chengyi actually answered the phone for the first time, and was still immersed in the mahjong world.

"What kind of luck is this today, the cards are worse than the other!"

"Sister Wang, are you not fighting? No, the loser hasn't opened his mouth yet, so let's play ......"

Hearing that she seemed to have ended a game, Su Chengyi shouted:

"Mom."

The other party replied as quickly as if he had just woken up from a dream:

"Huh! Careless! ”

The slightly resentful tone of the lost card instantly became gentle and tactful.

"Mom didn't notice you answered the phone, I'm sorry.

Sister Wang, I'm not fighting, I'll talk to my son, bye-bye. ”

The other party seemed to leave the mahjong table quickly and went to a quiet place.

"Xiaoyi is out of school? It's past nine o'clock now, have you eaten?

Do you have enough pocket money? Why don't you accept the red envelope when your mother sends you a red envelope, you have to accept it. ”

Before Su Chengyi could answer, she continued to herself:

"Today, your homeroom teacher sent me a message, saying that tomorrow you will take the college entrance examination 100-day pledge meeting, asking parents to go."

"If you don't have time, you don't have to force it."

Su Chengyi said lightly, he really didn't have any mood fluctuations.

In this kind of parent-child activity, the number of absentees of his parents is too much, and he has long been used to it.

Unexpectedly, the other party retorted excitedly:

"What are you kidding, how can your mother not go to such an important matter?

Don't worry, I'm free. ”

This unexpected development made Su Chengyi stunned for a moment.

If I am not mistaken, he attended the pledge meeting in his previous life alone.

"Well, also, your dad said he was going.

He should drive to pick you up tomorrow morning, you remember to reply to his WeChat, set a time, don't forget. ”

"Okay."

Su Chengyi agreed.

After the matter was explained, the two people on both ends of the earpiece were silent.

Seeing that he was about to fall into an embarrassing conversation, Su Chengyi's embarrassing mistake was about to be made again.

He quickly excused himself by saying that the water was boiling and hung up the phone.

The water was really boiling and gurgling.

Su Chengyi threw the dough into the boiling water, stirred the noodles with chopsticks in one hand, picked up his mobile phone with the other hand and clicked on WeChat, and several unread messages popped up at once.

The first one is from the old father, although he already has a new family, his avatar is still a photo of Su Chengyi when he was a child.

In the photo, he is wearing a funny tiger head hat, but his face is very serious, and there is a sense of contrast and amusement.

"Son, I'll pick you up downstairs at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, what do you want to eat?"

Su Cheng thought for a moment and replied:

"Xiao Long Bao."

The other party quickly replied with an "OK" emoji and quickly added a smiley face.

Su Chengyi also smiled, and clicked into the second message, which was actually from Chu Qianmian.

Her head resembles a lop-eared rabbit, which looks like a mascot from a recent anime.

The note he gave to Chu Qianmian was "second class leader".

"Is the milk good?"

Comes with a star-eyed expression of anticipation.

Su Chengyi glanced at the unopened strawberry milk next to him, and quickly plugged in the straw and took a sip.

It's so sweet, it's a throat.

He frowned suddenly, dessert had always been the food he resisted the most.

But looking at the star-eyed emoji, he hesitated for a moment, but still replied against his will:

"It's okay."

The other party did not reply, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The rest of the news came from the class group, and most of them were about the specific arrangements for tomorrow's pledge meeting.

Originally, the speech of the student representative of the pledge meeting was arranged for Su Chengyi, the first place in the last mock exam, but he refused very decisively.

So this glorious task was handed over to the second eldest of 10,000 years on the ranking list - Chu Qianmian.

The head of the class probably complained about this, and used his privilege to arrange the work of serving her tea and pouring water to Su Chengyi.

Bringing the boiled noodles to the table, Su Chengyi didn't care about the heat, and first took a big bite of the soft-boiled egg covered with soup.

The taste is very good, with a runny egg yolk and tender egg whites wrapped in oil.

Maybe I'm not completely untalented in cooking?

After eating and drinking, Su Chengyi brushed the dishes, mopped the floor, bathed, washed clothes, and did a thorough cleaning.

Obsessive-compulsive, he always had the illusion that this room had been abandoned for ten years.

Packing up everything, he looked around.

Quaint mahogany furniture, simple appliances.

On the wall are posters of Robert Baggio wearing the Italian national team jersey and the David Beckham Manchester United jersey, red and blue.

Although this old room has a sense of age, it has been cleaned up very clean and tidy by him, and it is quite a sense of accomplishment to look at.

When he was lying on the bed contentedly and preparing to sleep, the mobile phone rang several times, which was a message bombardment from Chu Tianmian.

"It's okay! It's my favorite milk! ”

"I just went to take a shower."

"I'll bring you another box tomorrow."

"It's all your fault for being a deserter, causing me to give a speech, I'm so nervous, I can't sleep."

Su Chengyi was a little embarrassed about which one to reply, and the last thing he sent out was:

"Sorry, get a good night's sleep."

The other party's name bar lingered many times in "second squad leader" and "the other party is typing......

The last thing that appears is a "good night" meme, a rabbit holding the moon.

That's probably what it means to end the chat.

Su Chengyi didn't reply, exited the WeChat interface, and slowly closed his eyes.
