On the Formation of a Pseudo Stand-In

The first time I saw Mu Chengan was not in the evening after high school, but earlier.

At that time, Ye Luo was still young, not tall, and his arms were thin, as if they were tailor-made for picking up marbles cracked in the wall.

He doesn't like to talk, and the scars all over his body when he first came here have already gradually formed scars. He often shrinks into a small ball and stays on the steps by the side of the yard.

Sitting is a whole day.

According to the rules here, the guy who just came in should accept the bragging rights of the previous ones.

But because when Ye Luo just entered the door, he hung his head and said nothing, his arms were covered with red marks, until the person who brought him called his name, he only raised his head with a dull expression.

The children who were peeping from behind looked at each other for a while after seeing this scene, feeling that a powerful guy was coming.

But after a long time, they found that this thin child had nothing special about him.

On the contrary, he seems to be weaker than other people, and he often retreats silently when pushed, and never argues with others.

So, there was a little fat man with his belly sticking out, walking by the steps, looking down at him, and said "Hello".

Ye Luo raised his head, his eyes were terribly dark, and the little fat man was startled at first glance.

Swallowing to maintain the ferocity on his face, the little fat man asked, "Why do you still come here when you're so old? Was thrown away?"

Blinking hard, it took Ye Luo a long while to realize what the other party was saying.

First he shook his head, and after a while, Ye Luo seemed to think of something, and nodded again.

Seeing this scene, the little fat man looked a little impatient, feeling that he was being played with.

Ye Luo stared at his frowning brows, felt the other party's emotions, and backed away calmly.

He opened his mouth, and when many days of silence made him speak, his throat seemed to be filled with sand: "I haven't been thrown, but I can't find that person."

"Sure enough, it's not because of illness. Seeing that you didn't say anything before, you thought you were dumb."

Just after finishing speaking, the little fat man moved closer, and said in a low voice: "There were people before, who never said a word from here, and didn't respond to calling him. In the end, guess what? He was bullied by those guys and hid in the room, no I won’t go out until I have to.”

Even though his demeanor was serious, the little fat man's tone was light and airy.

After saying this, he frowned and changed the subject: "Do you know where this is?"

Impatiently waiting for Ye Luo to nod his head slowly, the little fat man went on to say, "It's different here than outside. There will be fights outside, so you should restrain yourself when you come here."

After speaking, he glanced at the scarred arm below him. Ye Luo noticed it and covered the scars calmly.

The little fat man didn't care too much, and said, "The people here are scary, just be patient, don't cause trouble, and be smarter. Then no one will come to trouble you."

After saying these words, the little fat man seemed a little awkward, touched his head, paused for a while, and then looked into Ye Luo's eyes.

Seeing the concentration in Ye Luo's eyes, the little fat man felt very accomplished.

But on the surface, he still pursed his mouth, pretended to be reluctant, and looked funny, and finished speaking awkwardly: "Let me remind you first, look at you with thin arms and legs, you won't be able to withstand a few beatings. Just don't It made me feel like someone in the back room, lying on the bed all day and not daring to come out."

Blinking his eyes, Ye Luo finished digesting the other person's words, rubbed the still hot scar on his arm, and nodded slightly: "I see, thank you."

The little fat man let out a snort, and walked away contentedly. Ye Luo looked at the dangling flesh on his lower back, and thought it was quite funny, but soon lowered his head again.

What is there to be afraid of here, Ye Luo thought to himself, looking at the ants walking hurriedly on the ground.

I can stay alone, I have a place to rest at night, and I don’t have the knife that has been hanging on the top of my head since I was a child and may fall off at any time.

Probably because of being "warned", Ye Luo, who doesn't fight or grab every day, has no sense of existence, and naturally no one comes to find fault with him.

Except for the fact that when he started school, his grades were accidentally praised, and his report card was torn up the next day, he felt very comfortable with everything else.

However, this is not a bad thing.

As he slowly walked back with his bag on his back, Ye Luo thought, anyway, he doesn't need to please anyone.

He walked to the yard and took a look at his small room from a distance, and he saw his roommates playing around inside, making the small room noisy.

Sighing silently, after carrying the schoolbag to the front, Ye Luo looked away, walked to the side steps and sat down.

Wait until you are asleep at night, and then go in.

With his head straight, Ye Luo stared blankly at the pile of children playing in the yard. The dusk light blinded his eyes, and then he heard the door creak.

Turning his head with his schoolbag in his arms, he saw a young man walking in gently from the door. Ye Luo first thought that this man had long legs, and then saw his youthful spirit.

Shrinking his body, Ye Luo was gloomy when he saw another boy walking in.

Ye Luo looked from afar and saw that the two of them had their heads together and were whispering something. He didn't think they were interested, so he glanced at them and didn't look at them again.

Bury the head back into the arm where the bone is evident.

At this moment, my head is always very dizzy.

Since coming here, Ye Luo hasn't had a good night's sleep. During the day at school, her nerves are tense, and she is afraid of missing something. At this moment, her fatigue level is finally full, and her drowsiness is out of control.

In fact, this place is very good, I don't know how many times better than the place where I stayed before.

If you ignore the bunch of guys who are still noisy in the middle of the night.

He closed his eyes, thinking, he didn't have to be afraid anymore, he would be woken up in the middle of the night by cursing, and he didn't have to worry about being pulled by his arm suddenly, pulled up and beaten.

But I don't know if it's because of the change of the environment, Ye Luo, who used to be able to fall asleep wherever he went, now huddled under the quilt and kept his eyes open all night for several days in a row.

Eyes were pressed a little uncomfortable, Ye Luo was about to change his position when he heard footsteps walking towards him.

Even though he suspected that he had heard it wrong, Ye Luo still raised his face to look, with the red mark on the side of his face.

The boy who came in first, for some reason, walked towards him with a smile.

Holding the schoolbag in front of him tightly, Ye Luo was suddenly at a loss when he met his gaze.

It's been a long time since anyone has smiled sincerely at themselves.

Stretching her body straight, Ye Luo bit her lip, watching the boy getting closer and closer, and when she could fully see his facial features, she thought inexplicably, this guy is pretty good-looking.

I used to be in the alley, people around me were ashamed all day long, not to mention looking good, it was difficult to maintain a normal body shape, but fortunately no one cared.

Most of the children who came here were abandoned because of their disabilities, and a small number of them looked normal, but they were full of hostility.

A few days ago, Ye Luo thought that the people he bumped into at school were already favored by heaven.

But at this moment, looking at the boy's clear eyebrows and eyes, Ye Luo stared at him with a gentle expression without blinking, and the moment he saw the light shining behind him, it was set off extremely beautifully.

warmth.
