MTL - Daily Life of the Canary Pet Master-Chapter 20
Along the way, the boy was eloquent and basically never stopped. Ou Shaowen tried his best to answer a few words at first, and then the driver joined in enthusiastically. The boy named Dong Qiao just lay on the seat and chatted nonsense with the driver Get up, you come and go, it is no longer an atmosphere that he can intervene in. In just a few tens of minutes, Ou Shaowen already knew his name, the school he graduated from, the plot of a certain drama he had rehearsed in college, his experience of signing with an entertainment company, his favorite fruits, his height and weight, and his favorite movie. movie.
The rental quickly arrived at Qingxiwan Community, where the access control is strictly controlled, and foreign vehicles are never allowed to enter at will.
"Just stop here, I'll just walk in." Ou Shaowen paid the fare with his mobile phone, finally ended this one-sided listening, and prepared to get off the bus.
"Hey." Dong Qiao stopped him with a look of surprise, "This community is so big and it's so far away, so you just walk back? Doesn't the guard here know you? Or do you have an access card? It would be better for the taxi to send you directly to your door.”
"Not far." When he usually runs and exercises in the community, he often runs around the entire community three or five times.
"How about I take you in?" He said, and quickly jumped down, "I'm very thirsty just after the dance practice, so it's okay to go to your house for a cup of tea."
Ou Shaowen fell silent, looking at him without saying a word.
The atmosphere was a bit stagnant, Dong Qiao's eyes drifted away, he avoided his gaze, and smiled brightly, "The taxis have already left, why are we still here, go in, I'm dying of thirst."
"But..." Ou Shaowen finally opened his mouth.
Dong Qiao pursed his lips tightly, feeling unspeakably nervous.
"Didn't you tell me before that each of us will pay half of the fare?" His tone was serious, without the slightest hint of ridicule.
Dong Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his mobile phone and clamored to add WeChat friends to transfer money, while walking naturally into the community.
Ou Shaowen followed him, his mind was attracted by the term he just heard, "I don't have WeChat."
"No way." Dong Qiao looked at him incredulously, "It's so old, how could someone not even have WeChat."
Before Ou Shaowen answered, he became excited and enthusiastic again, "It's okay, I'll teach you how to apply for one, it's very simple."
The tone was the same as before when Qi Yue knew he didn't have Weibo.
Ou Shaowen watched Dong Qiao operate his mobile phone to apply for WeChat, and then added him as a friend, "Come, come, I will send you a red envelope, how much is the fare just now?"
"eighty."
"Then I'll transfer you forty." Sure enough, he sent a red envelope, and leaned over to look at his phone screen, "You can receive it by clicking on the red envelope."
Ou Shaowen took the money, nodded slightly at him, and then walked home in silence.
At the beginning, Dong Qiao asked a few questions about the training courses that Qimeng had arranged for him. Later, the farther he walked, the less physical strength he had recovered, and he was exhausted again. Finally, he walked to the entrance of the villa. As soon as he let out his breath, he hung directly on Ou Shaowen's body, wailing intermittently: "Oh, my god, I can't do it anymore, I really can't do it today, I feel that I have reached the limit of my physical fitness, I can't walk anymore .”
Ou Shaowen glanced at him and rang the doorbell.
The garden door automatically opened to both sides, Ou Shaowen stretched out his hand and pushed him slowly but firmly, "Here we are."
They walked another long garden path for Dong Qiao, and finally arrived in front of the main entrance. He stepped up two steps, found a wall, and leaned against it.
"Why did Xiaowen come back by himself? I was just about to tell you..." Aunt Zhou opened the door, and immediately saw a boy standing not far from Ou Shaowen, who was sweating profusely and panting heavily. What he was going to say Immediately swallowed it back into his stomach, and only raised a warm and polite smile, "Xiaowen, is this your friend? Hurry up, why didn't you call and ask Lao Li to pick it up? It seems that he is tired , come in for a drink first."
"Thank you, Auntie." Dong Qiao instantly showed a cute smile.
As he walked in, he couldn't help being excited. Before today, he never thought that he could enter Mr. Ou's house so easily and drink the tea from Mr. Ou's house. Holding the teacup, he took a sip Swallowing it in small mouthfuls, trying to make his expression look natural and calm.
"Aunt Zhou, I'll go up first." He wanted to get acquainted with the new gadgets he learned today.
"Um, what about your friend?" For a normal person, it would be too impolite to leave the invited guest there alone.
Of course, Ou Shaowen is not a normal person, so he replied as a matter of course: "I brought him in because he said he was thirsty and wanted to drink water. After drinking the water, he can leave." After thinking about it, he added, " He's not my friend, we just met today."
Dong Qiao drank half of the water, only to realize that Ou Shaowen had long since disappeared. The person who looked like the nanny looked at him from time to time while trimming a potted flower on the dining table.
Dong Qiao followed her gaze and looked at the teacup in his hand, his face became hot instantly, and he said with a sneer: "Auntie, can I have another glass of water? I'm sorry, because I just talked to the young lady Wen finished the dance class together, and I was very thirsty."
Aunt Zhou just laughed and didn't speak, she nodded and poured him another glass. Dong Qiao drank another glass of water, and after trying to strike up a few words, only got a neutral answer from Aunt Zhou, he finally had no reason to stay here anymore, stood up and waved to Aunt Zhou cheerfully. Say hello, "Thank you auntie for the water, then I'll go back first."
Aunt Zhou immediately dropped the things in her hand, and sent him directly to the door, "Okay, then take your time on the road, and I'll open the door for you."
After quickly dismissing the person, Aunt Zhou's expression changed, and she went upstairs and knocked on Ou Shaowen's door with a look of resentment.
"What's the matter, Aunt Zhou." He looked confused.
"You don't even know anyone else, so you bring them home?" Aunt Zhou's face was rare and serious, "In the future, you don't have to pay attention to friends like this who come to you after only meeting you once. Come in for a drink? What an old-fashioned excuse, there are two yuan of mineral water everywhere on any street outside, I don’t believe he still doesn’t have the money to buy it?”
In fact, Ou Shaowen didn't have a clear understanding of which products were sold and where, but he still nodded obediently, "Okay, next time I suggest that he buy it himself."
"Next time, there will be no next time. This kind of person's face is thicker than a city wall. If you get attached to him with a slightly better temper, you won't be able to get rid of him even if you want to." Aunt Zhou was employed by Ou Renjin. The people who came and went were used to it. She had always maintained a neutral attitude before, not talking much or meddling in other people's business, but who could go to the kitchen to help her every day like Ou Shaowen, earning money and thinking about buying her gifts? People's hearts are biased. Now, she just hopes that the child can stay in the villa as long as possible, and even better if he can live here for the rest of his life.
Ou Shaowen was a little puzzled, but he didn't raise any objections.
Seeing the expression on his face, Aunt Zhou knew that he hadn't reacted yet, so she couldn't help but sighed, "Do you know why he followed you back to the villa so shamelessly?"
Ou Shaowen shook his head.
"He must have plans for Mr. Ou, and wants to replace him and become the new owner of this villa."
Ou Shaowen's pupils dilated slightly, and his face immediately sank.
Aunt Zhou was still chanting one by one, "Just now, she was pointing something, saying why Boss Ou didn't pick you up from get out of class and asked you to take a taxi back by yourself. It's a secret, I guess I thought I was asking a good question. To be tactful, I know a lot of people, and I can tell what he's thinking just by looking at him."
Ou Shaowen's expression became colder and colder, he nodded, and this time he replied seriously, "Okay, I understand."
Back in the room, he held his mobile phone and sat motionless by the bed. In fact, he has already known the stories of Ou Renjin and the previous owners of the villa many times through many channels, but he never felt that he was playing the same role as those previous owners. By his side, the relationship between them has a mission and purpose. He deeply understands this, and has long been prepared to leave after losing his value.
Whether it is leaving in five years or now, he can accept it calmly...
It should be acceptable, right?
However, just now, when he knew that the boy who looked very kind and enthusiastic walked into this villa with such a purpose, he was suddenly very unhappy. Even when you are unhappy.
Just as he was thinking about how he should ruthlessly refuse to go back the next time he meets this person, some special bells suddenly rang.
So Ou Shaowen's eyes immediately softened, he forgot everything in an instant, and when he picked up the phone, the melody of a song he didn't know where he heard echoed in his mind.
"I heard that you brought your friends home?" Ou Renjin stared at the fully embraced figure on the computer screen, and tapped the pen in his hand.
