Chapter 5 The Drunken Puppy
Chapter 5 The Drunken Puppy
The next day, he strolled down to buy some daily necessities.
I haven't been back for a long time and I don't know the way. I found a convenience store after walking the wrong street. I went in and bought some oden and bread.
The office building is located above the convenience store. He sat on a small high stool and ate bread, squinting his eyes to bask in the sun. The sky was blue, the autumn air was crisp and the air was particularly fresh.
It was just in time for the office building to go to work. Outside the glass window, a person in business attire was eating breakfast while hurrying on his way. Occasionally, he met his gaze and looked at his laziness with a bit of envy in his eyes.
Xi Wen ate his breakfast under countless scorching gazes, and didn't care at all. He slowly took a sip of soy milk with a straw in his mouth, and swallowed the dried meat floss bread.
He has been used to attracting attention since he was a child, and he has always been able to turn a blind eye to the attention around him, and he is too lazy to distinguish whether it is jealousy, flattery or love.Because he doesn't care, he often speaks and does things too directly, which is a bit hurtful. Others scold him that he is arrogant, domineering, arrogant, and he is right. It's just that the young master has been like this since he was a child, and many things he does are not intentional.
Next to the convenience store is a newly renovated city supermarket. He hasn't decided how long he will stay here, so he pushes the shopping cart in and picks up a week's worth of purchases.There is milk in the supermarket to promote new products. The little girl who sells it has a sweet mouth and is also very annoying. Pass him a small cup to try it. You must try it. It’s even more embarrassing to drink it out of helplessness. Xi Wen was troubled by her. I couldn't stand it anymore, I bought several bottles, and it was very heavy to carry.
Every time he meets people one-on-one in this kind of public place, he realizes that he is very thin-skinned and not very good at talking. When others greet him warmly, he has no choice but to surrender.
He didn't come to the supermarket very much before, the first time he came to the supermarket was with Shen Qingye.
He was chasing him at that time, he followed Shen Qingye wherever he went, like a little follower.Shen Qingye buys things quickly and ruthlessly, and he picks things that are affordable, and the discounted and promotional items are all heavy.And he is a young master who can't carry his shoulders and hands, and wants to show himself. He can't bear to carry two big bags before he reaches the subway entrance. When he thinks of taking the subway back, his face is even more ugly.
Shen Qingye came up from behind with his hands in his pockets and stopped to watch him try his best.
The young master was so exhausted that he put his things on the ground, fanned the wind with one hand, put one hand on his waist and said, "Let's take a taxi."
Shen Qingye picked up the thing from his side, "There are eggs in it and you can't put it on the ground." Then he straightened up, "Don't follow me, why are you here?"
Young Master Xi smiled playfully, "Accompany you."
Shen Qingye lowered his eyes, "I don't need you to accompany me." After a pause, he said, "If you're tired, call a car to go back, I'll take the subway." After speaking, he carried his things and walked forward.
How could Xi Wen give up?Immediately followed behind, "Then I'll take the subway with you."
Shen Qingye stopped, "Aren't you unable to walk?"
"How can I be so weak?" Xi Wen forced himself to ignore the scorching sun above his head.
They walked for a while, Xi Wen looked forward, and felt that the subway entrance was thousands of miles away. He is a literati at heart, a pen writer, and his physical strength has always been poor, and he doesn't like people covered in sweat. Shen Qingye, he had already called the driver to pick him up.No, without Shen Qingye, it would be impossible for him to come out in this weather, no one could call him out of the air-conditioned room under the scorching sun.
He picked up a random topic, distracted himself, and pretended not to be tired at all, "Mr. Shen, what do you want to eat later?"
Shen Qingye walked with his head down, "Eat at home."
"But you still have to go to the studio with me to practice singing in the afternoon. We agreed to start at two o'clock."
Shen Qingye looked at the time, it was a little bit past twelve o'clock. "You go to the studio first, and I'll come find you when I get home and put away my things."
"Why bother, I'll go back with you, and then we'll have lunch together before going back to the studio. Otherwise, if you come and go, no one is watching, you might forget to eat again."
Hearing what he said, Shen Qingye stopped in his tracks.
In order to hide from the sun, Xi Wen had been following him with his head down, stepping on his shadow and chattering, but he didn't expect him to be caught off guard, and just when he was about to bump into his back, Shen Qingye turned around and bumped into the back The back turned and fell into his arms.
As if two people were hugging, the boy's body was scorched by the sun, and his skin was full of heat.
Shen Qingye didn't expect that suddenly there would be another person in his arms, both hands were full of things, he took a step back when he was bumped, but fortunately he stood up.
Xi Wen subconsciously pulled the corner of Shen Qingye's clothes to stand firm. When he raised his head, his lips happened to brush against the side of his face. He raised his eyes and met Shen Qingye's eyes, his eyes were astonished, as if he was stunned.
Xi Wen withdrew his hand and took a step back. He wanted to say sorry, but he saw Shen Qingye lowered his head, his face turned red little by little, as if he was about to bleed, and his fair neck was red.I even forgot what I was going to say when I turned around, turned back again, and walked forward.
Xi Wen had never seen him like this before, and thought it was very interesting, and even chased after him relentlessly, "Mr. Shen, I'm so sorry, I didn't stop the car just now."
"It's okay." Shen Qingye said in a low voice.
"Your face is so red, what's the matter, is it too hot?"
"……no."
"It's really red. Look, the tips of your ears are red. Is it heat stroke? It's big or small. Let me buy you a bottle of water."
"……Need not."
No matter how stupid you are, you can hear the teasing color in it.
"Mr. Shen, what did you want to say to me just now?" Xi Wen teased for a long time before giving up, walking aside and asking casually.
Shen Qingye stopped slowly again, but without turning around, he lowered his head and turned his face to the side and said to him, "My dad has gone out, there is nothing at home, if you eat at my house later, I will cook some noodles for you , it might be easier, okay?"
Xi Wen didn't expect this, he originally wanted to order takeaway, "You can also cook?"
"Not much, but a little."
"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want." Xi Wen suddenly became excited, and forgot what happened before.
Except for that time when I went to the supermarket with Shen Qingye, Xi Wen never went there again.As a result, this time I came alone, went around, and took a little bit of stuff, but it took more than an hour to complete the purchase.
On the way back, he passed by the flower bed of the community, and heard the sound of meow meow, he hesitated for a moment, then squatted down with his things in his hands and looked into the flower bed, only to see a pair of black bright eyes, standing on the edge of a clump of branches. Looking out for a while, the pupils are surprisingly large.
Xi Wen looked at it for a while.
Then, a stripped ham sausage was stretched in.
The kitten is afraid of strangers, but it has been hungry for a long time, seduced by the smell of meat, and has been fighting inside for a long time, but still can't hold back, it timidly crawls out a little, takes it in its mouth and puts it on the ground to eat.The little head shook up and down, and people's hearts were about to melt.
The cat is a small three-flowered cat, only the size of the palm of two adults, and it is estimated that it has only been raised for a month or two.I don't know how long I've been wandering around, but my body is not very dirty, it's just that my whole body is wet, as if it has been splashed by water, and I look pitiful.
Xi Wen felt a little distressed, so he went to the convenience store and bought cat strips for him to put on the flower bed.Kittens have a small appetite, so as long as they are not robbed, they can last for several days.
He opened the door of the hall with his shoulders.
Suddenly, a small thing rushed in from under his feet.
He took a closer look and saw that it was the kitten just now, twisting its body and wagging its tail, meowing at him, as if urging him to hurry up.
Xi Wen was taken aback for a moment.
He got into the elevator, and the cat followed him into the elevator.
After entering the elevator, there was no button for a long time.
Xi Wen lowered his head and looked at the cat's big eyes and small eyes for a long time. The upper eyelids of the cat seemed to be a little injured, the eyelids were drooping, and the mouth and nose were pink, looking very miserable.Xi Wen's heart moved, and he confirmed with it again, "Have you thought about it?"
The kitten was meowing, probably not knowing what he was talking about.
Xi Wen resigned himself to squatting down to pick up the cat, and tapped the cat's chin, "Why do you like me so much? If you like me, then I'll take you home."
The cat lowered its head limply and rubbed against his fingers.
This is a seal of approval.
After taking the cat home, Xi Wen checked it and found that the cat's hind legs were bloodstained and injured, and it limped unnaturally when walking.With such short four legs, I don't know how he ran so fast just now.As soon as it entered the room, it nestled on the sofa, and was very good at picking a good place for itself. No matter what Xi Wen said, it refused to move its position again.The injured hind limbs were stiff and upturned, which was even more pitiful.
Xi Wen checked the nearest pet store, and also checked the various precautions for raising cats on the Internet. Stray cats have parasites and may also suffer from various diseases. They must be taken for inspection first, and then vaccinated. Only after the observation period can they be officially taken back.
Xi Wen hugged the cat and took a taxi to the pet shop. Various examinations and treatments took the whole afternoon.
The doctor said that the cat was too thin and in poor physical condition, so it had to be raised in a bottle for a few days, and the leg X-ray showed that it was fractured, so it could be fostered with them for treatment.Xi Wen nodded in agreement.
The doctor asked what the cat's name was again. Xi Wen looked at the little Sanhua who was lying obediently on the observation platform, with her white belly exposed and her four little paws sticking out. The nurse was holding goat milk in a test tube Feed it to drink, the little milk cat is holding the milk bottle and does not let go, its eyes look silly, and thinking of the way it ran home after itself, Xi Wen pursed his lips and waved his hand, it must be called careless.
The doctor smiled dryly, and decided to call the cat Xiaosanhua directly in the hospital.
Xi Wen accompanies the cat to finish filming, checks, buys cat food, pays the fee, and then leaves the cat in the pet hospital. After honestly listening to a lot of cat's situation, he finally has to get out.
Before leaving, the kitten lay on the glass, watched its new owner leave, meowed and meowed, its eyes were very sad, and it made Xi Wen's heart twitch violently. He couldn't bear this kind of thing the most.
After taking a taxi and returning downstairs, it was already dark, and Bai Xiaoyi's call came again, and he said excitedly, "Brother, I'm back, where are you, I'll pick you up?"
Xi Wen reported his address and said he was waiting for him downstairs in the community.Bai Xiaoyi arrived in a car in a short while, and the two went to the bar to sit down.
As soon as Bai Xiaoyi talked about Xi Wen's departure, he brought several artists with him through hardships and misfortunes, but he couldn't stop the car.I don’t know if it’s because of Tai Sui, and all kinds of strange encounters have happened. The artists under him either had accidents while filming, were arrested for drunk driving, and were exposed for domestic violence and derailment. Without exception, there must be black people within three months of taking over. material or event happens.It made people in the circle say that he was lowered, that it would be bad luck if he got involved, and that he was avoided like a snake and scorpion, and no one dared to pick him up.It was hard to be accepted by Wu Qiong, the eldest sister of film and television dramas, but she did not expect that she is a psychopath, who treats the people around her as human beings, and it’s okay to be on call 24 hours a day. all will be brought out to be scourged.
Bai Xiaoyi snotted and burst into tears, trembling with anger, kept saying, "It's too dark, I hate that my life is not hard enough to restrain her, otherwise it's better to let her suffer."
Xi Wen said a few words of comfort, but he was not good at this kind of thing, and he made many mistakes, so he simply ordered some wine for him.
Talk about future plans.Bai Xiaoyi said that Mr. Du's company invested in several high-cost movies this year, and the artists he picked up recently were all filming, and he has a good understanding of this method. If Xi Wen doesn't want to engage in music, he can go another way. Try something new, maybe you will be interested?
Xi Wen hadn't decided yet, so he asked him what kind of books they were.
Bai Xiaoyi shook his head, I have to ask Mr. Du about this, how can I know.
Talking here is a dead end, but I finally figured out some direction from the chaos.
They also chatted about the current situation of their old friends. For example, Kuang Yao also retreated after Xi Wen left. He said he wanted to travel around the world when he picked up his luggage, and his whereabouts were often unknown. , has won several music awards, and is the best among them...
Talking about the past, I couldn't help but sigh, unknowingly in the middle of the night, Bai Xiaoyi was almost drunk, Xi Wen called Bai Xiaoyi's substitute driver, but he still took a taxi to go back.
He took the elevator upstairs, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor jumped a few times but did not light up immediately.
He stepped out of the elevator door while touching the keys, and the lights suddenly brightened at this moment, which was very dazzling.
Xi Wen was stabbed so hard that he closed his eyes and covered the door with his hand, but he felt something was wrong vaguely.He opened his eyes again and looked intently, only after reacting for a while did he realize that there was a person sitting at the door.
The man leaned against the wall, several buttons on the collar of his white shirt were unbuttoned, with dark wine stains splashed on it, his coat was thrown on the ground, and his long legs wrapped in black suit pants lay flat in front of the door. The legs are too long, almost occupying the entire hallway, the other leg is bent, the arm is bent and rests on the bent knee, the fingers hang down naturally, the forehead rests on the arm, and the whole face is buried in the darkness .Hearing the movement of the elevator, he turned his face to the side, and shrank back uncomfortably because of the skyrocketing light.
Then he raised a hand towards Xi Wen, his voice hoarse and full of alcohol, "Why so slow? Give me the spare key, I don't know why this door can't be opened today."
Xi Wen was stunned.
