C24 (1/2)
The next day, Cheng Hanlong got up. The person beside the bed had already left. He looked at his watch and saw that it was only 6 o'clock. It was still dark, and a note had been left on the table beside him. The words were clear: ”Brother, I went to school at 5: 45.” Cheng Hanlong didn't know why he got up so early to go to school. There was also the milk from the fridge, which had already been heated.
When Cheng Hanlong was washing up, he realized that the cyan color on the left side of his face had deepened, and his hand was also slightly swollen. The effects of strength were really mutual! He recalled the series of events that had happened last night and wondered if Du Gong had returned to school. After a night, even though the scar on his face was still there, Cheng Hanlong didn't feel any jealousy towards Du Gong. After all, they were brothers, and it was necessary for them to fight.
As soon as Cheng Hanlong arrived at school, he heard that Du Gong had been cleaned up for a week because he didn't return last night. Cheng Hanlong thought that since the dormitory was closed last night, Du Gong had nowhere to go, and it was impossible for him to go back to look for him. He felt that what he did yesterday was indeed a bit too much.
When he went to look for Du Gong, he saw him having breakfast with a guy. He didn't know what Du Gong was talking about and pointed him out. He didn't look worried at all.
Du Gong saw Cheng Hanlong walking towards him from a distance. He still had wounds on his face, so he felt bad about it. However, he was too embarrassed to speak directly to him. He was afraid that he would be embarrassed in front of so many people, so he could only continue to eat his breakfast as if nothing had happened.
”You're quite optimistic. Did you sleep on the road last night? Are you used to sleeping for a week? ” Cheng Hanlong sat in his seat and said to him.
When Du Gong saw Cheng Hanlong take the initiative to talk to him, the worries in his heart were immediately dispelled. Ye Zichen looked up and smiled embarrassedly at Cheng Hanlong. Seeing that his expression wasn't very good, Cheng Hanlong knew that Cheng Hanlong definitely didn't rest well and probably faked that bit of spirit just now.
”It's okay, sleeping in that place is not the same. This is just right for me. It saves me the trouble of climbing over the wall every day to get out.”
”Do you live near the school? You can't go home every day, can you? ”What's more, you still have the face to let your family know about this?” Cheng Hanlong asked Du Gong.
”It's fine, don't worry about it. I found a place.” Du Gong gulped down the soup.
”Didn't you just tell me that you don't even have a place to stay? How did he become so happy? Are you talking to a set of people? ” The boy beside him suddenly interjected. Du Gong felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to scold him away.
Cheng Hanlong suddenly said, ”Why don't you come to my house?”
Du Gong felt his heart skip a beat and the incident yesterday popped into his mind. He quickly shook his head: ”Where are you going? ”Don't worry, I'll find a place.”
”Why are you and I being so pretentious? Originally, our family has only so many empty houses, so it's useless for us to keep them. It's not like you've never been there before, you used to pester us everyday, but now you know that you're too embarrassed to leave. ” Du Gong still didn't nod.
Cheng Hanlong immediately became angry when he saw Ye Zichen's hesitant look. He said, ”If you can't stop loving me, I'll have to beg you! If you can do it, don't come back in the future. ” With that, he turned around and left. Du Gong put down his bowl and chased after him.
”Damn, who said I wouldn't go? Who wouldn't pick up such a big deal?” Cheng Hanlong grunted, then they continued to walk towards the school building, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
At noon, Cheng Hanlong and Du Gong went to pick up Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng walked out of the school gate with a slight limp. He didn't see Cheng Hanlong at first, but when he did, he immediately became better and trotted over. Cheng Hanlong felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He wanted to walk over and carry him, but Du Gong had already walked over and squatted down to look at Cheng Cheng.
”You little thing, how can you be angry! ”You think I'm going to hit your brother?” Du Gong pinched Cheng Cheng's face.
”No need to be angry, Brother Du doesn't hit my brother anymore.” Cheng Cheng said seriously.
Du Gong hugged Cheng Cheng happily. Cheng Cheng struggled to get down and said that he was already an adult and couldn't let others hug him casually, otherwise his classmates would laugh at him. Du Gong said, ”If anyone laughs, I'll help you beat him up.”
