how to chase boys

"Son, what's the matter these days, I'm listless."

I was sitting on the sofa drinking milk from a mug. My dad came over in his nightgown and rubbed his hands on top of my head.

I picked the handle of the cup and didn't speak. My dad sat down next to me and asked with concern: "Did mom and dad work overtime these days and get emotional?"

"No."

"It's fine if you don't have one," my dad laughed, leaning on the sofa and folded his legs comfortably, "it'll be fine when your mom and I are busy for a while, and then dad will take you out to play."

"Hmm..." I drank the last bit of milk in the cup, put the cup back on the table, turned around and leaned on my dad's shoulder and asked him, "Dad, what have you and mom been up to lately?"

They left early and returned late, and they were busy before, but it didn't happen that many people couldn't see each other.

My dad pinched the back of my neck and said with a smile: "You don't understand after I say it, but it's a big deal after all. My parents can take a good rest after finishing this deal."

Is that so... I put my head on my dad's shoulder, closed my eyes and sighed softly, "Then don't work too hard."

The next morning, I went downstairs in my slippers and found that my parents were at home. My dad was on the phone in the restaurant, his voice was very low, and he couldn't hear clearly.

My mother was sitting on the sofa holding a small mirror to apply lipstick. I went over and hugged her arm and asked her if she would go home for lunch.

"Baby son," my mother was in a very good mood, she put away her lipstick, held my face and kissed my forehead forcefully, "Mom and Dad won't come back at noon, after working for a while, Mom will take you out to play."

This kind of talk again, I was a little bit disappointed, I wanted to say that they hadn’t had dinner with me for a long time, but saying that would make me look very ignorant, so I had no choice but to swallow the words in my stomach.

My dad came back after answering the phone, his face was not very good. Seeing me sitting on the sofa, he urged me to have breakfast: "My dear son, go to eat quickly, don't delay the class."

I walked to the restaurant as I said, and heard my mother ask him what's wrong, my father didn't speak, my mother asked again, and then he whispered something.

"Dead?!"

My mother yelled in alarm, and wanted to continue to say something, but was stopped by my father: "The child is still at home, I will talk about it later."

I ran to the door of the restaurant with a boiled egg, and looked at them with some anxiety, "Mom and Dad, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, dear son, you eat first."

He came over and gave me a pinch on my face, and my dad pushed me into the dining room: "I'm full and ask Tang Shi to go to school with me, Dad is going out now, I don't have time to see you off."

What's wrong?What is dead?

I became more and more uneasy, and turned my eyes to my mother. She was sitting motionless on the sofa, her face was pale, and her lips, which had just been painted with lipstick, were a little red.

My dad left me to go to the door to get my coat. My mom, as if waking up from a dream, ran over in small steps in high-heeled slippers, "Husband, I'll go with you."

"Alright," my dad frowned, "I might go to the police station later, you can call your brother and ask him to accompany you to the construction site."

"understood."

My mother stretched out her hands to brush her hair, glanced at me, and smiled at me pretending to be calm, "Don't worry, son, go to school and study hard."

It's too late for me to hide from Tang Shi, so of course I can't go with him.

The main reason is that what he said a few days ago scared me. He asked me every day if I was gay.

Boys must learn to protect themselves when they go out, so I ran away when I saw him these days.

I went to school with my schoolbag on my back absent-mindedly, but I was stopped by someone at the school gate.

I was thinking about something in my heart, and I was stunned when someone stopped me. I looked up and recognized it was Yan He.

He wore a red armband on his sleeve, and pretended to hold a notebook in his hand, looked at me with raised eyebrows, and said mockingly, "Stupid."

I really didn't have the mood to pay attention to him, I lowered my head and tried to walk around him.

Yan He deliberately blocked my way and refused to let me go. He lowered his head slightly and looked at me, "What's the matter? Did you get bullied by Tang Shi again?"

I could feel his eyes trace my face meticulously, and then chuckled: "Like a rabbit, did he step on your tail?"

……

I sighed, raised my face to look at him, and asked puzzledly: "Chen Guoguo has already left, and I have never contacted her, why do you still bother me."

Yan He's lips trembled slightly, but he didn't speak, his dark eyes were fixed on my face.

Someone next to me looked over curiously. I stretched out my hand to grab my schoolbag, not wanting to avoid him anymore, and said fiercely, "Get out of the way! I'm going to be late."

Now it was Yan He's turn to be stunned. He stood there blankly, with an expression on his face as if he knew me again.

I was already in a bad mood, I didn't want to talk to him, I pushed him away and strode towards the teaching building.

As soon as I arrived in the classroom, I saw Lao Qin dispatching the weekly test papers from last week. The class was full of ghosts and wolves, and Wen Chen held my paper in surprise, "Yes, 144 points."

Mathematics has always been my weakness, and it is indeed okay to get a score of 144 in the test.

But I lacked interest, so I casually said: "He Antang taught well."

Wen Chen smacked his lips, obviously he couldn't understand, and he still took my paper and pretended: "You can also ask him to teach me, I also want to take the 144 test... No, I don't need 144 points, I just pass the test!"

"Just you?" Wen Chen's tablemate laughed, "Let's forget it, I'm afraid you'll imitate him to death."

"Tch, then I won't look for him. It's not like our Moonlight baby can't teach me, don't you think so baby?"

Wen Chen made gestures to kiss me as he spoke, but I didn't pay attention to him, and he kissed me on the face unexpectedly.

"Come on!" Before I said anything, Wen Chen cried out, "Why don't you run away! It's over, it's over, it's over, my innocence is my innocence, Cheng Yueguang, you must be responsible to me!"

"Stop it."

I was really not in the mood for a joke, so I took my test paper from him and sat down to look at the wrong questions.

Seeing that the vision in front of me was blurred, I blinked my eyes hard, and a tear fell on the scroll surface with a bang, and the handwritten words on the scroll were dizzy into a ball of wet ink.

Wen Chen was taken aback, and asked me what was wrong in a low voice, I bit my lip and shook my head, sniffed my nose, and tried my best to hold back my tears.

Wen Chen was still asking in a low voice: "Cheng Yueguang, what's the matter with you? Talk to me, you are so anxious to death."

The backlog of emotions in the past few days almost exploded, the coldness of my parents, the inexplicable Tang Shi, and what happened this morning were all weighing on my heart. I was really uncomfortable, but I didn't want to lose my temper at school, so I had to hold back and not cry .

I held back my tears, took a deep breath, and looked at Wen Chen: "I'm fine."

"It's all right, don't say you're all right." Wen Chen said reproachfully, "The eyes and nose are red. Do you think I'm a brother or not? If you're a brother, just tell me what's on your mind."

I stared at Wen Chen, and Wen Chen also stared at me seriously, waiting for me to take the initiative to confide in him.

None of these things could be said out loud, so I looked at Wen Chen and said sincerely, "You know."

"Oh?" Wen Chen listened carefully.

"You know," I continued, clearing my throat, "do you have eye poop in the corner of your eye?"

"Fuck you!"

Now I don't need to explode, Wen Chen exploded first, he patted the table and said frantically: "Cheng Yueguang, is there something wrong with you, is it fun to waste my feelings!"

After a listless morning, I was going home at noon to call my uncle and ask him what happened to my parents' company.

I only know that my family is in business, and my parents are involved in a lot of investment, but I don't even know what they are busy with recently. I only know that I am immersed in my own world and playing around. I am really a very incompetent son.

As usual, Tang Shi still came to the classroom to block me after school.

I asked him not to look for me a few times before, and he said to me: "The legs are on my body, I come whenever I want."

I was annoyed by his thick skin, but there was nothing I could do about him.

Today I was in a hurry to go home and call my uncle, so I ignored him and hurried home as soon as school was over.

"Cheng Yueguang," Tang Shi said with long legs and big strides, even if he was chasing me, he seemed not in a hurry.He said, "Can you walk slowly, aren't you tired from walking so fast?"

"The legs grow on me," I imitated what he said to me before: "I can walk as fast as I want."

"..."

Probably because he didn't expect me to say that, Tang Shi was blocked by my words, so he didn't make a sound for a long time.

After walking quietly for a while, Tang Shi asked casually, "By the way, what did you and Yan He say at the school gate this morning?"

"Nothing." I was almost home, and I could already see the rosebushes in front of our house, and saw a large white car parked in the yard through the fence with sharp eyes.

It was my uncle's car, my heart tightened suddenly, and I quickened my pace to go home.

Tang Shi thought I was trying to avoid him, and grabbed my wrist to prevent me from leaving, "Come back, tell me what you said to Yan He at the school gate?"

After pretending all the way, he was finally willing to show his original shape. This is the kind of person he is, and he can't speak well at all.

"What did what I told him matter to you?"

I was in a hurry to go home, and my tone of voice was a little hasty: "Who are you to me, why do you care about me so much, how many times do you want me to tell you, can you stop following me!"

"*," Tang Shi's expression was a little ruthless, he grabbed my wrist with one hand and pulled my collar with the other, "Did you fucking—"

I guess he might want to scold me for being sick, or scold me for something else, anyway, it’s not a good thing, I don’t know why he finally held back the words, pursed his lips, and let go with a gloomy face clamp on me.

Like a rabbit whose ears have just been pulled, I gasped in shock, not daring to stay with Tang Shi anymore, and ran home quickly.

"uncle!"

My uncle was on the phone in the yard. The hand holding the phone was leaning on his car, and he was pinching a cigarette with the other hand. There was a lot of ash on the cigarette butt.

Seeing me enter the door, he raised his hand to shake off the cigarette ash, pinched the cigarette in his hand and waved to me.

I heard him say to the phone: "Yes, I'm back...Okay, come over at night and be careful on the road."

"Uncle," I walked towards him and asked him timidly, "Who are you calling?"

"Your grandmother."

My uncle and my mother look a bit like each other, but the contours of the facial features are much sharper, and they look a little fierce.

When I was young, when I went to play at my grandmother’s house, he always joked with me that he would throw me into the trash can outside the door, which made me a little afraid of him now.

Holding the stubbed cigarette butt with his fingertips, he raised his hand and rubbed it on the top of my head. He probably wanted to make a kind expression, and curled the corners of his mouth to show a somewhat stiff smile, "School is over?"

"Well," I was a little nervous, tracing the lines on my palm with my fingertips, and asked him softly, "Is something wrong at home?"

Speaking of this, he probably also felt a headache, sighed heavily, and stretched out his arms to hug me to signal me to go back to the room with him.

He said as he walked, "Your parents recently invested in a tourist hotel. It seems that the hotel contractor didn't agree on the price here, and they dragged their feet and refused to close it."

I nodded with half understanding, and heard him say: "It wasn't a big deal at first, but at such a critical moment, another member of their engineering team died, and the contractor took the lead to make trouble."

"Fuck, don't die sooner or later..." My uncle realized that he was talking to me in the middle of the sentence, swallowed the second half of the sentence, and changed the subject stiffly: "What do you want to eat at noon?"

"..."

I looked at him and asked, "Is there something wrong with my parents?"

"They just want money."

My uncle's brows frowned into Chuanzi, "It will be fine if the money is in place."

"Is that so..."

I don't know why, but I still feel a little flustered, and always feel that things won't be resolved as easily as my uncle said.

My uncle doesn't know how to cook, and was planning to order some takeaway. Aunt Tang knocked on the door, probably wanting to ask me to eat. Seeing that my uncle was stunned by her, I quickly introduced to her: "Auntie, this is My uncle."

"Oh," Aunt Tang patted her head with a smile, "It looks so similar to me, but I didn't realize it all at once."

She invited my uncle and I to her house for dinner: "We cooked wontons at home, come over and have some."

My uncle shook his head and said, "What a shame."

"Yueguang is still growing," Aunt Tang held my hand, "Don't let him eat takeaway all the time. Don't be shy, I take care of Yueguang as my own child."

After all, Aunt Tang was never beaten, and my uncle and I were called home by her.

Tang Shi was leaning on the sofa playing games, when he heard us enter the door and looked up, Aunt Tang introduced my uncle to him, and he said hello uncle.

As soon as I entered the door, Bai Bai rushed over wagging his tail, happily circling around me, I picked him up from the ground, and brushed his fur vigorously.

Bai Bai lay obediently in my arms, and called out twice in a crisp voice.

Aunt Tang asked my uncle to sit first, and went into the kitchen to clean up the dishes. I quickly put down and went in to help.

"Moonlight," Aunt Tang asked me in a low voice while I was in the kitchen, "Tell Auntie, are you and Tang Shi having conflicts?"

"If he bullies you, you can tell auntie, and auntie will teach him a lesson for you."
