259 The other side

This time Tom did not find any free rooms to stay in. He just took Gaoqi and they walked for a long time and came to a house that looked very ordinary.

The house is indeed an empty house, but the reason why it is not considered a residence is because the house is Tom's own.

The house is large, well-kept, cleaned, and has a special shelter house, which stores a lot of drinking water and food, as well as a lot of guns and ammunition. Then, in many photos, you can see a group photo of the four of you.

The youngest one in the group photo was Tom, but all the photos remained when Tom was about seven or eight years old, and then there were no new photos.

In the city, the signs of doomsday have indeed faded a lot, and at Tom's house, time seems to be frozen.

Gao Qi stood in front of a family photo for a long time, and finally said to Tom: "Is this your home?"

Tom said expressionlessly: "I rarely come back."

Gao Qi pointed to the photo and said, "Aren't you going to introduce it?"

Tom said in surprise: "Are you kidding me? Obviously, everyone in this photo except me is dead!"

Gao Qi sighed lightly and said, "You are lucky. You still have photos, but my parents don't even have photos. Many times I dream about them, but their faces are blurry because I was too young when they died, and I don't remember what they looked like."

Tom was silent for a moment, then he said lightly: "I am different. I rarely come back here and rarely look at these photos, because memories are not beautiful. The more you look at, the more memories, the more painful it is."

Anna said with a relaxed look on her face: "What are you talking about? At least your parents are normal. My father treats me as a test subject. My mother wants to kill me because she doesn't like my test subject, so I think you are already very happy."

Gao Qi and Tom looked at Anna together, and then the three of them thought the topic was quite boring.

Gao Qi coughed lightly, and then he said to Tom: "Your home is well maintained, and you said you don't have a house."

Tom said with a deep grudge: "I have to be a little secret. Since I started scrambling on the street, I rarely come back, so that I will not be blown up by someone."

"The cunning rabbit is three holes, smart."

Tom exhaled and said, "I don't like living here very much, so I'll have a sleep here tonight. We'll change places tomorrow. Well, everyone, I want to go to bed."

In fact, Gao Qi wanted to talk to Tom because he lacked understanding of his apprentice. However, when Tom, who is the master, said so, then take a break early. After all, it is not possible to understand a person with just a few words.

There are enough rooms, one room for each person. Anna did not ask for a room with Gaoqi this time, and Gaoqi actually wanted to have a good rest.

He got up and fell asleep very well because there was no Ana affecting him this time, so this was the first good night to get up and sleep in a few days. However, just when he got up and fell asleep, his door was knocked.

Gao stood up and opened the door, and then he saw Tom with a gloomy face.

"Is there anything wrong with this early?"

Tom's expression looked unnatural, he raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Come down to have breakfast."

Gao Qi was a little surprised and said, "I would rather sleep for a while and wait, have you made breakfast?"

Tom wanted to speak but stopped, and then he said with a gloomy face: "It's not me, don't ask so much, come and have breakfast, hurry up."

"You are a disciple who is not qualified, so be polite to your master..."

Just as Gao Qi started setting rules for his apprentice, he heard someone shouting, "Tom..."

Only the first sentence can be understood, but it speaks in English, so Gao Qi didn't understand a single sentence after that, but at least he could hear that he was talking about a woman and should be quite old.

Gao Qi said in surprise: "Who is it?"

Tom said with a depressed look on his face: "My aunt, it's hard for me to explain to you, but you can't expose my lies. This is my only request. Okay, please go on as soon as possible and don't let an old man wait for a long time."

Gao Qi closed the door a little confusedly, and then he put on his clothes as fast as possible. When he arrived at the restaurant downstairs, he found that Niu Lidong had sat on the dining table in a regular manner and looked at him with help.

An old man with white hair was busy in the kitchen. She put the bacon she had just fried on the plate, then brought it to the dining table, and said rudely to Niu Lidong, who was confused.

Seeing Gao Qi, the old lady said a series of words to him, but of course Gao Qi couldn't understand it.

Tom smiled at this moment, and he smiled and said, "She said please don't be polite."

He sat down high and thanked the old lady, then looked at Tom and said, "Although I don't understand, I always feel that you are lying because your intuition tells me that things are not that simple."

Tom smiled unnaturally, then he picked up the slices of bread and started eating.

At this time, Anna finally came down. She was a little surprised when she saw the old lady, but she almost immediately started chatting with the old lady.

The old lady had a great time chatting with Anna, and when Anna sat up and started to have breakfast, she said with a smile: "This aunt said that Tom rarely invites his friends and colleagues home. She also said that Tom was too busy at work and could not even come back once every two or three months, because Tom was an interpreter at the Entry Office of Angels City!"

Tom whispered: "Everyone has a secret, everyone has someone they want to protect. I don't want her to worry about me, nor do I want to cause threats or troubles to her. So everyone, if you understand the most basic etiquette, you should help me keep this secret."

Anna pouted and said, "Of course, I will definitely not expose you, don't worry."

Gao Qi said in surprise: "How long have you kept it from her? It's not easy."

Tom said with a plain face: "Twenty years, since I started to find ways to make a living, she always thought that I was going to school and working. I hid it very deeply and hid it very hard. I just shouldn't have tried to save trouble and brought you here to show sincerity and respect. Who knew that my aunt would come this morning, she only came once a month."

Everyone has another side, but Tom's other side is hidden deep enough.

Gao Qi smiled and said, "So you have an aunt to take care of, right? Well, that's great. My understanding of you has deepened a little. I think you may not look so bad on the outside, uh, I mean, you are not a simple gangster. Sorry, I mean, you may not be as bad as I thought."
