Chapter 3 Stars On The Sky (3)

Gao Yusheng was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand what it had to do with being serious or not.

“Hahaha…” Zhai Chen couldn’t help laughing for a moment, waved his hand and jumped off the car and went to a shop.

This area was an old residential area, which maintained the close neighborhood relationship of the last century. The early summer night was extremely lively. A row of small shops on the street lit bright yellow lamps. Mosquitoes and pedestrians came and greeted each other with light.

“Boss, I’d like to have a box of duck neck.”

“Well, are you provoking Fang Chuyang again?” the owner of the shop was obviously familiar with him, packaged a spicy duck neck quickly.

“No, he called me on the way, crying and asking me to buy it for him. “

Zhai Chen took the snack and turned around. He realized that the shiny luxury car was still over there. It seemed that he didn’t show his gratitude for Gao Yusheng’s ride. Then he quickly took another box of duck neck from the owner without paying for it.

“See you.”

Gao Yusheng was stuffed with a box of cold snacks in his hand. He frowned at the man who was gradually away from him and waved at him.

“Siri, do you think people’s personalities will change?”

The screen of the mobile phone on the bracket lit up, and the dialogue interface of the artificial intelligence of the mobile phone appeared. The clear electronic voice sounded out word by word, “Of course, sir, once a person’s character is formed, it will be relatively stable, but not all of them are immutable, it is still plastic. From a philosophical point of view, everything is developing and changing. “

The family home of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was an old residential building without an elevator. Zhai Chen strode up the stairs and opened the door quietly. A police uniform was hung on the hanger of the door. The light was on in the living room. There was a man in a black vest and butch hair was sitting at the dining table, looking through a pile of thick documents. That was Fang Chuyang, the brother of Zhai Chen in family’s permanent-residence booklet.

“Is it still home? Why didn’t you die outside?” Fang Chuyang didn’t raise his head, satirizing Zhai Chen.

“I thought you are busy enough, so you will not be burdened with the work of the vice squad.” Zhai Chen took a look at his little nephew’s room. Seeing that the door was closed, he knew that the child was asleep.

“Dong!” Officer Fang crumpled the paper into a ball and hit Zhai Chen’s head accurately, “How dare you to leave Mengmeng to the police station and run away!”

“I got something to do, come on, your duck neck,” Zhai Chen threw the snack box on the table without feeling any guilt, and turned to get the beer in the fridge.

Fang Chuyang was exasperated by Zhai Chen, “Fuck your duck neck!”

“Shh, don’t wake up the Mengmeng!” Zhai Chen threw two cans of beer to Fang Chuyang, then walked around the kitchen to fill a bowl of leftovers.

Fang Chuyang loved spicy duck neck since he was a child. Every time he was annoyed by Zhai Chen, Zhai Chen would buy him some duck necks, which he tried repeatedly.

Officer Fang stared at the guy who was eating for a while and took a vicious bite on the duck’s neck, as if it was Zhai Chen’s neck in his hand.

Zhai Chen opened a beer, clinked a glass with his brother, and curiously stretched out his neck to peek at the document in his hand: “what is that?”

“There was a homicide in the southern city and it was transferred to the Municipal Bureau for investigation.”

The investigation of the case was classified. Even if they were a family, Fang would not tell Zhai Chen the details. Besides, he also knew that Zhai Chen was just asking, not really wanting to know about the matter.

“Well,” Zhai Chen took a duck neck, stared at Fang’s head for a while. He knocked on the table with one finger and said solemnly, “last night, I dreamed dad and he asked me for something.”

“For what?” Fang Chuyang looked up at him.

“He asked me to look for a girl for you.”

“Get off!”

Before Fang Chu Yang was ready to teach him a lesson, Zhai Chen had jumped up and hidden in the kitchen to wash dishes.

Fang Chuyang rubbed his head and felt that he would die at a young age. He was either exhausted by the heavy criminal investigation task or angry with Zhai Chen.

“It’s not a joke, I’m serious. Aunt Zhu told me several times. You can’t follow me to be a bachelor all your life,” Zhai Chen shook the water drops on his hand and bounced it on Fang Chuyang’s face.

“Joining a family like this, we should not bring disaster to a girl,” The water drops on Fang’s eyelashes moistened his eyes, and the atmosphere became desolate.

“How can it be a disaster? You are the most handsome man in the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the young Deputy captain of the criminal police. Whoever marries you will be happy. Besides, when you marry a girl, she could not take after the kid. I’m in charge of Mengmeng. It doesn’t get in the way… ” Before Zhai Chen finished, Fang Chuyang didn’t care about it at all. He went back to the room and slammed the door shut.

Zhai Chen touched his nose and sat on the table to drink the rest of the beer.

Zhai Chen picked up Li Ting at 8 o’clock and went to kindergarten at 9 o’clock. The time didn’t conflict. The next morning, Zhai Chen rode the foldable electric vehicle to CZNT to pick up Li Ting. He entered the courtyard and stopped steadily. Li Ting was just about to walk out of the corridor.

“Did you just ride here? How to deal with it?” Li Ting got something in her hand. It seemed like a takeaway list or something.

Zhai Chen hasn’t answered yet. A small hairy head emerged from behind the handle of the electric donkey. The cute and tender boy looked at Li Ting with a buzz cut and innocent eyes.

“I need to send the child to school after all, would you mind I take him with us?” Zhai Chen took the child squatting on the pedal down, folded the electric vehicle quickly and threw it into the trunk, “what’s in your hand?”

“Fine,” Li Ting showed Zhai Chen the things in her hand, “the advertisement listed on the doorknob must be taken away in time, otherwise the thief would think there was no one in the room.”

It looked like an ordinary takeout sales list. It was garish. Due to his professional habits, Zhai Chen still checked it. On the front, it wrote “fish-flavored shredded pork” and “sour and spicy shredded potato”. On the back, it probably might not have anything to describe, but there was an ugly design on it.

“It’s a good habit.” After praising the vigilance of Li Ting, Zhai Chen checked the car to make sure there were no explosives or someone hid inside. He asked them to sit in the back and drive by himself.

“Is this your son?” Li Ting sat with the little boy and couldn’t help asking.

“No, he’s my nephew,” Zhai Chen put on his seat belt and drove on the main road.

“Oh,” Li Ting sighed with inexplicable relief. It was not common to see such a handsome man. If he was already a father, it was always a pity. Li Ting was excited when she got the opposite answer, “where is his mother?”

“She’s dead.”

“…” Li Ting should not ask this question. She closed her mouth awkwardly and looked at the little child with regret.

“Hello,” said the child, who was a little thin and had very big eyes. When he looked at Li Ting, there was no haze in his eyes, “My name is Zhai Mengmeng.”

“Whew” Li Ting’s heart was suddenly stabbed by a small pink arrow. She took off the Rabbit Pendant on the bag and put it into Zhai Mengmeng’s hand, “honey, this is for you.”

“Thank you, big sister,” Zhai Mengmeng raised his head and smiled, holding the rabbit and returning to silence.

Zhai Chen drove the car to the square in front of the company building, where some temporary parking spaces can keep for half an hour. Zhai Chen got out of the car and picked Zhai Mengmeng up, then following Li Ting to take her to the building.

“Not far, you don’t have to send me. You can drive the car away and pick me up in the evening. ” Li Ting waved to Mengmeng.

“It is my duty to take you into the elevator,” Zhai Chen insisted on following her and attracted many people around.

It was the time for work that office ladies in suits came into the building. When there was such a man with a child in his casual clothes, it was like a crab in the sardines, conspicuously. When the three of them walked together, they could easily be regarded as a family. Li Ting covered her face with a bag and rushed to the building quickly.

“Gao Yusheng, you are such a heartless man, why do you treat me like this after we have been together for three years? I had following you to eat bran foods, struggling from nothing, now you have the money to abandon me! Gao Yusheng, come out! Loser, bastard. Gao Yusheng, come out!” there was a woman dressed in cheap old clothes and tied with a low ponytail, shouted and scolded loudly with a strong sense of rhythm outside the revolving door of the building.

“Why is this woman here again?” the white-collar passers-by murmured.

“She comes every Friday, punctual and unshakable.”

“Who is Gao Yusheng?”

“You don’t know him? He is the founder of the Punctuation Map that we met in the elevator last time, the most handsome guy in this Fortune Building.

“It’s him! Wow, that’s no wonder. If I’m abandoned by him, I’ll go crazy too.”

That woman seemed to have endless energy. She pinched her waist like a shrew, swearing and jumping while explaining her past with Gao Yusheng in detail. Zhai Chen watched it amusingly and stopped to enjoy it for a while.

“What are you doing? Hurry up!” the security guard of the building came out to rush these audiences.

“Take me to Gao Yusheng, I’m his ex-girlfriend!”

“Mr.Gao will fall in love with you? Forget it! If you are ill, go to the hospital immediately. If you don’t leave, we will call the police! “

It was interesting. It would be fun if Gao Yusheng just the right to pass by. It is a pity that Gao always drives to work, only passing through the elevator in the parking lot, and he was doomed to miss his “old lover”.

Zhai Chen shook his head, carried Mengmeng with him to back to the car, turned around to go to the kindergarten, leaving behind the brainwashed “Gao Yusheng, heartbreaker”.

“Uncle, has that Aunt been abandoned by her boyfriend?” Zhai Mengmeng climbed up to the back seat, holding the rabbit and asking.

“No,” Zhai Chen left the parking lot and saw Gao Yusheng driving the luxury car with the angel wing sign into the underground garage, “as far as I know, the Mr. Gao has a lot of money in his family, and there is no problem of eating bran foods during his entrepreneurial period. And…”

“What is eating bran foods?” for a four-year-old, his vocabulary was not enough for him to understand this advanced words.

“It means that a person is very poor and has no money to buy food. He can only eat rice husk and wild vegetables…” Zhai Chen said that, suddenly stopped, looked at the innocent child from the rearview mirror, and slightly pursed his lips.

In Zhai Chen’s memory, there used to be a gentle voice, like a mountain stream and a spring, which softened the continuous green water and mountains.

“It’s wild vegetables…”

“Well, this is also wild vegetables…”

“I don’t know, but they can all be called wild vegetables…”

…

At the end of the week, the picking-up service was suspended. After Zhai Chen picked up Li Ting from work in the evening, Li Ting finally realized that she had paid the service fee for a week, but in fact, it was only for five days, so she felt very regretful.

“What’s 7,000 a week? Give me a discount and charge me 5,000 yuan. Isn’t it 1,000 yuan a day at last?” Li Ting said angrily, driving the car.

“No, if you work overtime at the weekend, I’ll pick you up and take you off as usual,” Zhai Chen took arm wrestling with his nephew with a finger in the back seat, “the discount is to give you two days of random standby, which is very cost-effective.”

“…” it seemed very reasonable, but it also seemed that there was something wrong. Li Ting can only change the topic, “by the way, Mr. Gao asked me something about your name today, how did you two get to know each other?”

“Huh? What did he say?” when it comes to President Gao, Zhai Chen’s mind was full of “Gao Yusheng, a heartbroken”, he can’t think of any other words for a while.

“Nothing more, except for he said to himself, ‘a dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick stars with your hands,’ oh, yes, and he smiled!” It seemed more surprising to Li Ting that Mr.Gao has a porker face for eight and a half hours of work every day, even smiled!

“Good literary talent.” Zhai Chen casually praised, and he used a finger to press the Mengmeng upside down.

“This is a poem learned in primary school. Your compliment is too insincere.”

“Sorry, I didn’t go to primary school.”

“…” This conversation can’t be continued any longer. The employer who has paid the wrong money chooses to shut up.

On Saturday morning, Bodyguard Zhai, who promised to be on standby at random, fell asleep at home, forgetting his employer’s discount service at all. Zhai Chen just dreamed of money falling from the sky, but he did not wait for happiness to knock on the door, and his cell phone at the head of the bed woke him up with a squawk.

“Hello, who is that?” Zhai Chen angrily answered the phone without opening his eyes.

“This is Gao Yusheng,” It was a cool voice, with a wonderful tone of relaxing nerve, which can make people wake up quickly.

The heart-breaker? Zhai Chen was sleepy that almost pronounced the name out and then swallowed the words.
