Chapter 4

"The relationship has not yet been established," Jiang Cheng held two plates of meat, then went to get a bottle of beer, "It cannot be said to be good or bad..."

"Hmm." Jiang Cheng responded and sat down

Oh. Jiang Cheng took off his coat and threw it into the inner room

"She really likes you," Gu Fei whispered in his ear, "but sometimes she struggles to understand other people's emotions, so please be more accommodating.

Hmm? Jiang Sheng paused for a moment, looking at the rice cake he was grilling, "Do you know?"

In the silence, Jiang Cheng, with a throbbing head, consumed four plates of meat, feeling that she had eaten quite a lot as well, while Gu Fei went out several times to fetch more.

Er Miao ... ... Gu Fei walked over

When he wanted to pull his hand away again, Gu Miao held onto his hand and did not let go

This young girl is probably the one he has ever seen who executes this task most perfectly

Ah. Jiang Cheng bit into the rib and responded, recalling the horrifying scar on the back of Gu Miao's head

"I could feel the heat when I pulled you in, how could I not know?" Gu Fei said

I will take a look at your face. " Gu Fei turned his head.

"Isn't killing one's own father supposed to result in imprisonment?" He sat down on the chair by the table and pinched his swollen brow.

In the past couple of days, it seems that everyone from the cat's family has come out to celebrate the New Year, and there are quite a few cars on the road. The drivers are aggressive, accelerating sharply followed by sudden brakes. Within ten minutes of driving, Jiang Cheng began to feel his stomach churning.

"Can it be the same?" Pan Zhi said, his tone somewhat dejected. "Last semester, we even talked about going to eat barbecue together during the New Year, but in the end, not only did we not get to eat the meat, we couldn't even see each other."

Only after she finished eating at Jiang Cheng did she put down her chopsticks, lean back against the chair, and rub her belly

He placed the plate in his hand on the table and saw that Gu Miao was already eagerly staring at the barbecue plate. He waved his hand in front of Gu Miao and asked, "Who did you come with?"

"Are there any promotions in your store today?" Gu Fei asked the waiter, taking out his phone to see if there were any coupons available, and then playfully flicked Gu Miao on the head, "You go find a table."

This is probably what is meant by being unaccustomed to the environment. A person who rarely even catches a cold in their usual surroundings has unexpectedly become delicate in a new setting. After struggling all morning and even eating their favorite food, there are still no signs of improvement, and they are on the verge of collapse.

"Should the skateboard be placed at the front desk?" the waiter asked with a smile

"Driving under the influence and overloaded?" Jiang Sheng asked

The lettuce and pork belly that Gu Fei had wrapped for him before was quite delicious, refreshing and not greasy

"Motorcycle?" Jiang Cheng asked

He grabbed a tissue and covered his mouth, wiping it a few times before glancing to the side.

Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng does not believe it

Gu Miao shook his head

"No one saw it..." Jiang Sheng smiled

Oh," Jiang Sheng thought for a moment, "the small supermarket? Is it Gu Fei..."

Why? Jiang Cheng actually had no interest in knowing these things, but still cooperatively asked a question.

"Aren't you afraid of getting tired of eating pure pork belly?" Gu Fei asked

Gu Miao remained seated, gazing up at him with a blank expression on her face, leaving her intentions unclear.

I..." Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment and did not mention that he had gone to eat at the buffet barbecue, "I went to the hospital."

Gu Miao nodded

I am going back. He threw the half-finished water into the trash can and turned to walk towards the intersection ahead

He killed his own father! Li Baoguo said, getting a bit closer, his excited spittle spraying half of his face.

"Have you gone to the hospital?" Li Baoguo immediately shouted, while reaching out to touch his face a few times. "Are you sick? Where do you feel unwell? Do you have a fever? Is it due to the change in environment?"

"I took my medicine, nothing much." Jiang Cheng, considering the meal they just had, endured the strong smell of smoke emanating from his yellowish-black hands and did not slap them away.

I tell you, if you are not feeling well, there is no need to go to the hospital. There is a community clinic on the street nearby that provides good care, said Li Baoguo. It is just that the entrance is a bit recessed and not easy to see, located next to a small supermarket

When the warmth began to rise from the soles of the feet, a small arm reached over from the side, holding a few tissues.

Jiang Sheng wanted to say that he has lived for 17 years and has never seen someone plead in such a manner, but he could not articulate so many words and could only squeeze out three words through gritted teeth: "I feel like throwing up"

Gu Miao pointed at the fatty beef

"It's nothing..." Jiang Sheng's words were not finished when he suddenly noticed a distinct scar on Gu Miao's head, which appeared to be about 5 centimeters long, and he was somewhat taken aback

After finishing this half plate of meat, he felt that he should probably walk back to digest a bit

Jiang Sheng was taken aback; how could Gu Fei know Li Baoguo? However, this question was soon drowned in confusion as he tossed two slices of meat onto the grill: "What does it have to do with you?"

Gu Miao smiled and pressed her face back against his back

Gu Miao placed the skateboard on the ground, stepped onto it with one foot, and quickly stepped on with the other foot: "Let's go."

Gu Fei drove the car out, heading directly towards the shopping plaza in the city center. For Gu Miao, the so-called feast specifically referred to the self-service barbecue at that shopping plaza

"He can eat more than your brother." Jiang Sheng couldn't help but summarize.

Gu Fei also remained silent, just holding it up like that

He nodded slightly and then tapped the car door twice

Jiang Shengtian, reluctantly intending to take his food to help him grill it, reached out and gently poked Gu Miao on the head: "Go get your own drink."

This world truly lacks not a single coincidence

Gu Fei remained silent, his gaze fixed on him for a long time, filled with an expression that was hard to discern—whether it was mockery or something else entirely. Finally, he patted Gu Miao on the shoulder and said, "Let's go"

After a tumultuous upheaval, it finally calmed down, leaving only a headache that felt as if it were about to explode. He leaned against the wall, trying to fish out a tissue from his pocket, but after a long while, he still couldn't find one.

Gu Fei's hand caught his elbow, and the hand gripping his collar tightened further, forcing him to lean closely against Gu Fei

Gu Fei quickly brought the dishes over, but his skill in carrying them was clearly not as good as his. He made one trip and brought three plates; if he hadn't been on the phone with Pan Zhi, he could have easily carried six plates at once. After finishing the meal, a bit of fruit would be just about right.

Gu Miao still did not let go

After Gu Fei walked away, Jiang Cheng placed two slices of fatty beef on the paper and asked Gu Miao: "Which one do you want? Pork belly or fatty beef"

The four-person table was against the wall, with Gu Miao sitting in the outer position opposite, enjoying his meal. Jiang Cheng was seated in the inner position grilling meat, while Gu Fei hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to him

Hmm? Jiang Cheng also looked at him

One should not speak while eating

Pork belly is also delicious, sizzling and oozing with oil... I can eat five or six plates," Jiang Cheng flipped the meat and brushed a bit of oil on it, "Do you like it spicy?"

Gu Miao remained still, her hand still raised in the air, lost in thought

No need." Jiang Sheng withdrew his hand

Jiang Sheng remained silent and picked up a piece of rib

The waiter came over, opened the grill, laid down some paper, and placed a few slices of meat on it, preparing to brush on the marinade

Although the journey was not long, taking only half an hour in total, he could not hold on when he first saw the intersection leading to Gu Fei's home. He was unable to even speak and simply knocked on the car door a few times.

Are you alone? Gu Fei asked

When Jiang Sheng turned his head to look, he saw Gu Fei, who was equally astonished.

Jiang Sheng did not know how to communicate with her, and various frustrations made him somewhat irritable as he forcefully shook off Gu Miao's hand, saying, "I told you not to help!"

Gu Miao looked around, swallowed, and remained seated without moving

After Gu Fei took Gu Miao away, Jiang Cheng got up and prepared another half plate of meat and a small basket of lettuce leaves

Gu Miao ran in holding a skateboard

Gu Fei wrapped two more rolls for Gu Miao and then asked, "You are not a local, are you? I can tell by your accent."

The waiter just told me that there are a few tables over there," Gu Fei pointed inside, "let's go over there.

The pressure around his neck made him feel nauseous again

No, Jiang Cheng is too lazy to explain, "I went to the small supermarket this morning to buy something"

Gu Fei handed over a bottle of water. He took it, opened it, and drank a couple of sips. After recovering, he looked at Gu Miao and said, "I am fine, no need to help."

Otherwise, would I still be holding you? Gu Fei added two more slices of bacon on top, and the two of them were grilling half each, which looked quite harmonious.

He paused for a moment when he reached the side of his desk

"My hearing is not good," Li Baoguo pointed to his ear, "I can only hear clearly if I turn my head towards the sound"

However, at this time, the barbecue restaurant is the most crowded, and by the time they arrive, there are basically no empty tables left inside

Thank you. Jiang Chengchong nodded to Gu Miao, feeling quite frustrated in this embarrassing situation where he couldn't just turn around and walk away or say something like "What are you looking at, you idiot".

After a brief standoff with her, Gu Fei turned to look at Jiang Sheng

Pan Zhi called again: "This ticket has two stations, and the times are different. Which station should I buy for?"

Jiang Sheng placed a piece of well-cooked fatty beef onto the plate in front of her: "Eat up"

"There are still tears, wipe them away," Gu Fei said

Gu Miao? Jiang Sheng looked at her with some surprise

I don't ... ... " He had just wanted Gu Miao to drink the orange juice by herself, but as he opened his mouth, he realized that Gu Miao was already pouring a glass of beer into his cup, " You ... ... "

Gu Miao rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, and then wiped under her nose with her sleeve

He turned his head, simultaneously jabbing his elbow backward.

Gu Miao nodded

"You are quite impressive," Jiang Cheng said, looking at her in some astonishment. "Not a drop spilled?"

Did your family go to poverty alleviation during the New Year? Jiang Cheng held the phone, one hand holding a plate and the other holding tongs, slowly picking up slices of pork belly, fatty beef, pork belly, fatty beef... In fact, it doesn't matter to him how many dishes are available; he only enjoys these few.

This young girl possesses an unusual stubbornness in certain aspects, one of which is her insistence on only eating at that particular restaurant when going out for food

East Station," Jiang Cheng said, "I only know East Station.

Gu Miao shook her head, quickly bent down to pick up the skateboard, and held it in her arms

The driver stopped the car, and as if he had been startled by a loud noise, he opened the car door and jumped out. He rushed to a trash can by the roadside and vomited.

The greatest advantage of a small city is probably that there is only one center, and it does not take much time to get there from any district.

Jiang Sheng did not know how to continue the conversation, so he ate a piece of pork belly

"Let her take it herself," Gu Fei said

"Would you like to try some pork belly?" Jiang Cheng asked her

Gu Miao stood up, pointed towards the door, and waved his hand a few times

"How many years ago was that? What prison?" Li Baoguo also sat down, "And no one saw it with their own eyes."

Are you full? Gu Fei asked

"Alright," Pan Zhi said, "Pick me up tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Please send me your address shortly, and I will look for nearby hotels."

His biological father!" Li Baoguo half-shouted, "He drowned his biological father.

He closed his eyes and sighed

Jiang Sheng glanced at him and continued to grill the pork belly and fatty beef

Thank you. He had no choice but to take it and take a bite.

Where have you been?" Li Baoguo came out of the kitchen with a pot of soup, "I have been waiting for you to have dinner for quite a while.

"Well, I drink when eating barbecue," Gu Fei said as he handed the rolled lettuce wrap to him, "but I don't usually drink."

No, "Jiang Sheng furrowed his brow. Even in the room he was currently staying in, he was reluctant to stay any longer. "Book a standard room for me, and I will go over."

Li Baoguo looked at him, probably waiting for him to ask why. After a while, seeing that he remained silent, he leaned in and said with a storytelling expression: "Do you know why they say he is not a good person?"

Gu Miao nodded and stepped back to stand beside Gu Fei

Gu Miao, who went to get drinks, returned holding several bottles, placing the beers one by one on the table, four bottles in total, all opened, and surprisingly, there was also a glass of orange juice

Gu Fei raised his eyes to glance at him, smiled without saying a word, picked up a bottle of beer and gently tapped it against the bottle in front of him, took a sip, and then continued grilling the meat

He could not bear to look at this scene, which was utterly unbearable.

Gu Miao lowered his head and ate the meat, remaining silent

Gu Miao nodded, seemingly unperturbed, and placed the skateboard underneath the table

We should find another table, "Gu Fei walked over, "this table is already occupied by my brother."

"It was for his family, Er Miao," Li Baoguo seemed to have noticed his disbelief, and as if to enhance the credibility, he added, "He was thrown by his father and suffered a head injury, and after being rescued, he couldn't even speak."

Gu Miao stood up and walked towards the drinks table, while Gu Fei quickly got up and sat down opposite her

Jiang Sheng raised his eyes to glance at him and said frankly, I really want to respond with a sarcastic remark suggesting that if you think so highly of yourself, you should go wash the duvet cover instead

"How do you know Gu Fei?" Li Baoguo turned his head, looking at him with some surprise, "You just arrived and you've already connected with him?"

Damn!

However, the two big eyes of Gu Miaoguang across from him were also looking at him. This was not something he could easily say out loud, so after brushing the meat with the seasoning a couple of times, he nodded.

Upon returning to Li Baoguo's place, as soon as the door was opened, Jiang Cheng was greeted by a waft of delicious food aroma

How did you get here?" Gu Fei also put down his chopsticks, "I can take you back in a while, it's on the way.

Before Jiang Sheng's guilt could fully spread, he suddenly felt a tight grip around his neck as Gu Fei yanked his collar from behind, causing him to stumble.

Gu Miao did not see Gu Fei, so she turned back, lowered her head, and stuffed the fatty beef into her mouth, smiling at him.

A four-person table, with a skateboard placed on one chair, a little bald boy in a blue outfit sitting on another chair, and on the table, there is also a green knitted hat with small pink flowers.

"No," Jiang Sheng replied, suddenly feeling a bit annoyed at the mention of this. The displeasure that had been suppressed by the pork belly and fatty beef was struggling to resurface.

Gu Miao shook his head, sat back at the table, and pushed a bottle of beer and a glass of orange juice in front of him

Jiang Shenggang was about to speak when his phone in his pocket rang. He took it out to take a look, and the caller ID showed Li Baoguo: "You ... ... "

"I can just live at your place," Pan Zhi said

Li Baoguo is standing in the living room dialing on his mobile phone

This was the first time Jiang Sheng had dinner face to face with someone he barely knew. He originally did not want to talk, and at this moment, he had even less to say.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Cheng closed the door and asked, "Did you not hear?"

Gu Miao extended her hand, grasped his hand, and pulled him forward, possibly intending to assist him in walking

Jiang Sheng glanced at Gu Fei and found that he was completely indifferent, not even looking at Gu Miao, as he rolled a piece of pork belly in a lettuce leaf

"No need at all, I am fine," Jiang Cheng said

Jiang Sheng looked at him in silence, observing Li Baoguo's enthusiastic expression. If he were willing, it was likely that Li could chat about such gossip for an entire afternoon.

"It's not bad, I quite like it," Jiang Sheng said

"... ... Do you have a poor relationship with your biological father?" Pan Zhi pondered for a moment

He placed a piece of pork belly over there, casually took the hat from the table and placed it on the chair beside him, and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Who bought you the hat?"

"When you arrive, go stay at a hotel," Jiang Cheng put down the tongs, picked up a plate, stacked some meat on it, and continued to use the tongs. "Moreover, you have to book it yourself. I have no energy for anything right now"

Gu Miao lifted the cup and took a big sip, letting out a satisfied sigh and wiping her mouth with the back of her hand

It is estimated that there isn't any, "Jiang Cheng recalled the overall feeling of that area, which did not seem like a place that could have a hotel, "You can book whatever you like, this place is not very big in total."

Everyone knows what happened. When the police arrived, his father was in the lake, and he was on the shore, that expression..." Li Baoguo clicked his tongue repeatedly, "It’s obvious he did it... Here, eat, try the dishes and see if they suit your taste

After hanging up the phone, someone finally accepted the order. When Jiang Cheng sat in the car, he felt utterly uncomfortable.

He leaned against the wall and retched twice, but nothing came out

On the opposite side, Gu Fei also seemed to have lost the interest to speak. Gu Xiaomei was probably truly a mute, happily eating meat and drinking wine.

Gu Miao hesitated for a moment and turned to look in the direction where Gu Fei had walked away.

Gu Fei drove the motorcycle to the front of the store, while Gu Miao skillfully climbed onto the back seat with her skateboard, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her face against his back

She nodded

Jiang Cheng uncontrollably imagined himself being dragged into the store by Gu Fei, like a torn sack being pulled by the hair

Gu Miao stood nearby, wearing her green hat, while Gu Fei, three steps behind, wore an expression as if he were watching a show

Ah," Gu Fei sighed, "If you were a boy, you would definitely be the rough type.

"Who is Li Baoguo to you?" Gu Fei continued to ask

Li Baoguo turned his head upon hearing his phone ring and shouted loudly, "Oh! When did you come back? I was just about to call you!"

Gu Fei loosened his grip

However, it was too cold outside, so he huddled behind the leather curtain at the entrance of the mall and took out his phone to call for a car, but five minutes passed and no one accepted the order

Jiang Sheng looked at the vegetable roll

"You still eat such greasy food even with a fever?" Gu Fei asked

Oh. Jiang Cheng responded.

Then we ... ... '' Gu Fei seemed to hesitate, taking a long time to finish his sentence, `` together ? ''

Thank you, " Gu Fei said, pointing to Gu Miao, " Sit here and wait for me, I will go get some food "

"I swear, I made you say that you're hungry," Pan Zhi swallowed hard and said, "I'm serious, I will come to see you the day after tomorrow, and by the way, you can take me out to eat. There aren't that many dishes at this price around here."

Gu Miao raised her face to look at him

Hmm. Gu Fei nodded

Jiang Sheng suddenly stood up to dodge, fiercely wiped his face a few times, and was just about to lose his temper when he suddenly realized: "What? Who are we killing?"

Gu Miao grasped his hand again, still wanting to support him

I told you, "Li Baoguo's voice grew louder. Although he has always had a rather loud voice, at this moment it was particularly loud, "Don't associate with him; that kid is not a good person!"

"Is she drinking?" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ask.

Is this the place? the driver asked
