The Tang Family’s Seven Os

There was a small night light lit in Tang Liu Yuan’s room and the light came through the gap at the bottom of the door, with a warm glow, and occasionally there was the sound of flipping books in the room.

Xia Cheng Lang turned his ears slightly and listened to the sound of Tang Liu Yuan reading a book, as if he was afraid of disturbing his sleep, the sound of Tang Liu Yuan flipping the book was very soft.

When he first met Tang Liu Yuan, he thought that Tang Liu Yuan was cold and icy, but when he came into contact with him, he found that Tang Liu Yuan was softer than he had imagined and was unexpectedly attentive.

He was very glad that Tang Qi Yuan did not come back tonight.
Although nothing happened between him and Tang Liu Yuan, but it seemed good to stay quietly like this, across a door, but he could clearly know what the other party was doing.

Outside the window, the night was like ink.
The rain had stopped at some point, leaving a cool room, and the faint scent of tea floating in the air.
He curled his lips and smiled lightly, pulling the blanket up to his chest, letting himself be immersed in the light scent of tea, enjoying the rare tranquility.

After an unknown amount of time, it was only when the lights in Tang Liu Yuan’s room went out and the sound of pages turning stopped that Xia Cheng Lang closed his eyes and fell asleep under the covers.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly after the rain, and when Tang Liu Yuan got up, Xia Cheng Lang had already bought breakfast and had just walked in through the door.

Tang Liu Yuan came out of his bedroom door with his hair in a fluffy mess and drowsiness on his face.
When he saw the sudden appearance of another person in the house, he didn’t react for a moment and was a bit dazed.
Only after a while did he remember that Xia Cheng Lang stayed at his house last night, and he couldn’t help but raise his hand to scratch this hair.

Xia Cheng Lang had his breakfast in his hand and smiled at him in high spirits, “Morning.”

“Morning……Why are you up so early?” Tang Liu Yuan glanced at the time and stroked the hair on the side of his forehead.

“I’m used to getting up in the morning to run.” Xia Cheng Lang’s gaze fell on the small lock of hair that was slightly upturned, the smile on his face widened, and he waved the key in his hand towards Tang Liu Yuan, “I saw the key on the shelf by the door, so I took it and used it when I went out.”

Tang Liu Yuan nodded, he had always been accustomed to keeping a key at the door so that it is convenient to take it when entering or leaving.

Xia Cheng Lang put the key back in its original place, then walked over to the table and put the breakfast on the table, “Quickly come over to eat.”

“I’ll go wash up first.” Tang Liu Yuan’s confused eyes cleared a little as he turned around and went into the bathroom.

By the time he washed up and came out again, Xia Cheng Lang had already set breakfast on the table, the breakfast Xia Cheng Lang had bought was sumptuous and there was a table full of it.

“I didn’t know what you like to eat, so I bought a little at random.” Xia Cheng Lang brought a glass of milk and handed it to him.

Tang Liu Yuan took the milk and sat down at the table.
Although Xia Cheng Lang said that he didn’t know what he liked, the breakfast set out on the table was all what he liked to eat, he was a little surprised and looked up at Xia Cheng Lang, a flash of doubt in his eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Cheng Lang looked at him innocently and blinked those peach blossom eyes of his.

“……Nothing.” Tang Liu Yuan looked at Xia Cheng Lang in silence for a moment, then shook his head, thinking that maybe he was thinking too much.
If Xia Cheng Lang was really deliberately approaching with a purpose, wanting to get back at him, then there was no way he hadn’t acted at all for so long.

While eating breakfast, Xia Cheng Lang cheekily added Tang Liu Yuan as friends on the chat app.
He held his phone, feeling that his day had been very fruitful.

The two of them finished breakfast and went to school together.
When Xia Cheng Lang walked downstairs and threw away the rubbish he had brought down with him, he inexplicably had the illusion that he and Tang Liu Yuan were an old married couple, he couldn’t help but hook his lips and was in a very happy mood.

Tang Liu Yuan lives very close to the school, so the road was full of students from the Huang Han High School who were all surprised to see the two of them walking side by side towards the school, but no one dared to bother them.

The two of them arrived at the school in peace, and at the entrance of the school, they ran into Chen She, who looked like he had swallowed a fly when he saw the two of them coming to school together, his eyes wide with surprise.

Tang Liu Yuan gave him a faint look, nodded to Xia Cheng Lang and said: “I’ll go first.”

“En.” Xia Cheng Lang replied with a smile and watched him walk away before walking over and kicking Chen She, “What’s that look on your face? Be careful of scaring the person away for me.”

Chen She closed his mouth with a look of deep hatred and resentment, “You bastard! Pervert!”

“What are you thinking?” Xia Cheng Lang gave him a sidelong glance, “I didn’t do anything, I just slept on his couch for the night.”

“You’ve already been to Tang Liu Yuan’s house? And you even slept on his couch? What are you if not a bastard?” Although Chen She said so, his complexion looked better.
He thought Xia Cheng Lang had already eaten the person, so he was really aiding and abetting the enemy, committing a grave sin!

Xia Cheng Lang lifted his steps and walked forward, “It thundered and rained last night, that’s why I stayed.”

Chen She walked up and hooked his shoulders, laughing and teasing: “How was it? Tell this little brother, not only did you enter the house last night, you also stayed overnight, did you make any progress with the Ice Beauty?”

Xia Cheng Lang didn’t want to tell him too much about Tang Liu Yuan, he just smiled and said: “He’s quite good.”

Chen She tsked twice and shook his head in disappointment, “Xia Ge, you disappoint me so much! It’s only been one night and you’ve changed! Am I still your good buddy who you can tell everything to?”

Xia Cheng Lang was in a good mood today and opened his mouth to talk to him, but he wouldn’t say a word about Tang Liu Yuan.

Tang Liu Yuan stood not far away looking at the two of them playing in a boisterous way into the teaching building and lightly withdrew his eyes.
As far as he was concerned, his meeting with Xia Cheng Lang yesterday was just an accidental encounter, and their relationship in future would only be nodding to each other in school.

But he had obviously thought too much, and Xia Cheng Lang didn’t give him a chance to draw a line at all.

After school in the evening, when he was reading at home, he was a little surprised when he heard a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he was even more surprised to see Xia Cheng Lang standing outside, “Why are you here?”

Xia Cheng Lang held a bag in his hand, smiled and said: “Didn’t you say that the hairdryer at home was spoilt? I bought you a hair dryer.”

“Ah?” Tang Liu Yuan opened his eyes wide in slight surprise and looked at the bag in Xia Cheng Lang’s hand, but his eyes were drawn to what Xia Cheng Lang was holding in his arms, “……cat?”

The little kitten in Xia Cheng Lang’s arms moved and blinked its round little eyes at Tang Liu Yuan.

“En.” Xia Cheng Lang walked into the house, shoved the little kitten in his arms into Tang Liu Yuan’s arms and breezily said: “I picked it up downstairs.”

The little kitten was still very small, only a month or two old, its body was covered with soft white fur, and only its four little paws and ears on top of its head were warm yellow.
After it was placed in Tang Liu Yuan’s arms, the watery eyes stared at Tang Liu Yuan timidly, well-behaved and cute.

Tang Liu Yuan couldn’t help but reach out and stroke his back, but the little kitten purred and purred, and Tang Liu Yuan suddenly revealed a soft smile.

Xia Cheng Lang had been watching his expression and followed after him to smile.
It seemed that Chen She’s investigation is true, Tang Liu Yuan loved cats, he heard from Chen She that he often took food to feed the wild cats at school and in the neighbourhood.

Tang Liu Yuan stroked the little kitten for a while, looking at its flat face, his eyes couldn’t help but look up at Xia Cheng Lang and asked: “You picked up a……Garfield on the side of the road?”

Xia Cheng Lang put the hairdryer on the cabinet and once again brought his cheeky qualities into play, asking without any guilt, “Is it? I couldn’t tell what breed he is, I just thought he was pretty good looking when I picked him up.”

He continued after a pause: “He has been abandoned by his owner when he is so small, and I was worried that he wouldn’t live long outside, so that’s why I picked him up.”

Although Tang Liu Yuan was a bit puzzled, after thinking about it he thought it was possible that the little kitten had sneaked out on its own unintentionally and couldn’t find its way home, he said without doubt: “This kitten is clean and dry, not quite like a wild cat, wait until I go downstairs tomorrow to see if there is an owner or notice looking for it, once it gets lost by itself, the owner will be very anxious.
”

Xia Cheng Lang felt that Tang Liu Yuan spoke a little more involuntarily after seeing the little kitten.
He couldn’t help but smile and nod his head in agreement, but in his heart he knew that there would be no such owner at all, because the kitten was a purebred Garfield that he had asked someone to select and he was its owner.

Tang Liu Yuan looked at the kitten and couldn’t help but be taken away by its good-natured and lovely appearance.
He reached out and touched the kitten’s ears, his voice softened and he asked softly as if he was afraid of disturbing the kitten: “Are you going to take it home to raise it?”

“I was going to bring it home to raise it, but just now I remembered that my grandfather doesn’t like cats, and since he’s old, I’m worried that the cat will trip him, can you help me raise it?”

Xia Cheng Lang spoke the words he had prepared long ago, adding at the end, “If you are also not comfortable raising it, it will have to go out and wander again, it is only so small and I don’t know if it will survive this winter.”

He said with a distressed expression and sighed softly.

“Can! I can raise it.” Tang Liu Yuan hurriedly spoke up and hugged the little kitten tighter, such a tiny little kitten, he didn’t want to let it go out to suffer from the cold and hunger again.

Xia Cheng Lang showed a satisfied smile, “Then that’s good.”

Tang Liu Yuan went to the kitchen and found a shallow bowl, poured a bit of warm water into it, and then placed the kitten next to the bowl.
The kitten went over and sniffed it, then stuck out its pink tongue, lowered its head and drank it in small sips.

Tang Liu Yuan watched intently from the side and stroked its tail heartily, “I’ll have to go buy it some food and supplies tomorrow.”

His originally cold and detached face was now filled with a soft smile, and his eyes seemed to be shining like stars.
Xia Cheng Lang’s heart felt as if it had been lightly rubbed, and he couldn’t help softening.
He smiled and said, “Tomorrow happens to be a holiday, I’ll go with you.”

Tang Liu Yuan was about to refuse, but after thinking about the fact that this little kitten belonged to Xia Cheng Lang and that Xia Cheng Lang must be very worried about it, he nodded and agreed, “Okay, then I’ll wait for you tomorrow and we’ll go together.”

“En.” Xia Cheng Lang hooked his lips, there would be another reason to meet tomorrow.

He reached out in a happy mood and stroked the little kitten, with this little one around, he would have no worries about not having a reason to see Tang Liu Yuan in the future.
