On December [-]th, Xue Chen sent a text message to Chu Bei: I will pick you up after class in the afternoon, please go to the main entrance if you ask for leave, don't jump over the wall.

Chu Bei looked at this text message with some doubts. Xue Chen never came to school. It was always Xue Chen who would go out to find him as long as he said he missed him. This was the first time Xue Chen said that he wanted to come to school.

Although I don't know what he's going to do, I'm still very happy when I think of meeting people.

Originally, I was so engrossed in the sea of ​​questions, I was so irritable, and it was snowing outside, but now that I received the message, my mood suddenly improved, and I was in the mood to do the questions.

In the afternoon, Xue Chen went directly to the school after get off work, and when he got to the school gate, he sent a message to Chu Bei: I'm here, remember to ask for leave and go through the main entrance

Chu Bei was walking out of the school, thinking that he could go over the wall and wait for Xue Chen in advance, and it would be troublesome to ask for leave.

But after seeing Xue Chen's text message, he thought for a while before turning around and going to the head teacher's office.

When we arrived at the head teacher's office, Chu Bei said he wanted to ask for leave, but the head teacher didn't react for a moment, stared at Chu Bei for a while and asked uncertainly, "What are you doing?"

"Ask for leave," Chu Bei said again.

The homeroom teacher looked out the window again, and then at Chu Bei, "Are you sick?" He said after digging through his desk for a long time before he found the leave slip.

Since the third year of high school, the number of students who asked for leave has almost disappeared. When they get sick, they can make do with it. If they can’t, they go to the school infirmary to hang a bottle of water. I can also find time to recite a word or something when I'm in the water, so I don't know where to throw the leave note from the head teacher, and it took me a long time to find it.

"No"

"Then why do you ask for leave when you have flexible legs?"

"My uncle said to ask for leave through the main entrance," Chu Bei said while filling out the leave slip.

"Oh, it turns out that the parents are here. I said why don't you climb over the wall?" The head teacher took the leave slip and signed it, and let Chu Bei leave.

The head teacher took Chu Bei from the first year of high school to the third year of high school. The child was often not in the classroom or at school, but he had never asked for leave. Today, for the first time, he signed directly.

Chu Bei wanted to laugh when he walked towards the school gate with the leave note. In fact, his head teacher was very kind to him. When he got into trouble, the head teacher was also very protective of him. It’s just that he was a bit nagging. This time it was so early It was quite a surprise for him to come out of his office.

Chu Bei saw Xue Chen's car from a long distance away, almost ran over, a little excited, and forgot to register when he arrived at the school gate, the old man at the gate called him for a long time, and he went back to register for a while before going again I found Xue Chen.

Chu Bei opened the car door and sat in. Xue Chen casually threw him a box of chewing gum, "Smoking less in the future, eat this if you can't help it."

"It's been so long and you can still smell it?" Chu Bei asked himself, "No."

"Who said you smelled?" Xue Chen looked at Chu Bei with a smile.

"You..." Chu Bei smiled, and found a big white rabbit candy in the car, peeled off the paper, and stuffed it into his mouth, "What do you want?"

"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?" Xue Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, of course I can. I can come every day, but don't I go out to find you every time? What's the matter today?"

"You don't know what day it is?"

Chu Bei was stunned, how could he know what day it is today.

Thinking about it carefully, I really can't remember what day it is today.

Chu Bei shook his head, then looked sideways at Xue Chen and waited for the answer.

"It's your birthday." Xue Chen looked at Chu Bei in surprise.

"I have... a birthday?" Chu Bei asked suspiciously. His 18 years of life told him that he had no birthday. Where did this inexplicable date come from?

"you forgot?"

"I don't even know what my birthday is. You calculated my date of birth for me from that immortal?"

Xue Chen was immediately delighted, "From Xue Hao, he showed me your information, it says December [-]th."

Chu Bei froze for a moment, then patted his leg, "I see, that's when the old man brought me into the household registration, I wrote the day the old man picked me up as my date of birth."

"That's fine, let's live this day, anyway, you don't know when you were born."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if I pass it or not, anyway, I haven't passed it in those 18 years."

"Then start at the age of 19"

"Just the two of us?"

Xue Chen turned to look at Chu Bei, "Who else do you want to find? You have friends you can call out."

Chu Bei...

Xue Chen tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, and then said, "Go to your house and live with the old..."

Chu Bei thought for a while and nodded.

Xue Chen pointed to the back seat, "Your gift, go and take a look."

Chu Bei climbed to the back seat, and was stunned as soon as he got there. He stretched out his arms and patted Xue Chen on the shoulder, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Chu Bei patted the seven calabash dolls on the back seat, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"I said I bought it for my son, and I was a little embarrassed at the time."

"Then you still buy it?" Chu Bei smiled and touched the seven one by one.

"Put this on your school bed, hug me to sleep, it's warm, just treat it as hugging me to sleep." Xue Chen smiled.

"Crazy" Chu Bei cursed with a smile, and climbed into the passenger seat with one of them in his arms.

"Did your aunt give you a headache when you were young?"

"how do you know?"

"You are still like this in your thirties, you know what you were like before"

"I didn't see it, you know me quite well."

Chu Bei looked at Xue Chen with disgust, "Why are you so thick-skinned?"

"Can a thin-skinned person date you?" Xue Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Bei, "Maybe I bowed my head shyly and you ran away with a woman in my arms. When the time comes, I will find someone to create another for me."

Chu Bei frowned and looked at Xue Chen, "I really want to return the product, is it possible?"

"What do you say?"

"Ah..." Chu Bei sighed, leaning his head against the car window, looking out of the window, the smile on the corner of his mouth unconsciously widened.

Xue Chen took Chu Bei to the supermarket, and asked Chu Bei to call the old man in the supermarket, saying that he would bring a friend back later.

The old man readily agreed that Chu Bei was more than happy to have friends.

Xue Chen wanted to buy some fruit, but Chu Bei stopped him and said, "The old man likes to eat meat, he almost never eats fruit."

Xue Chen still insisted on buying some fruit and then went to buy meat. "Didn't you say that he is not in good health? Don't let him eat too much meat, eat more vegetables and fruits, it is good for the body."

"I said he can listen to it. According to him, he doesn't have much time left. If he doesn't eat meat, he won't be able to eat it if he dies. If he stays, it will be all cheaper to me. He feels that he is at a disadvantage."

Xue Chen smiled and shook his head, this old man...

When Chu Bei took Xue Chen back, the old man was sitting by the small window in the living room with the window open.

The sound of Chu Bei entering and opening the door was quite loud, but the old man didn't hear it. It wasn't until Chu Bei walked over and patted him that the old man was taken aback. When he saw that it was Chu Bei, he blew his beard and stared and said, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" Don't let me?"

"What are you blowing, it's cold, I'll cook for you, don't blow the cold wind by the window, it's not like you don't know your own body"

"What's wrong with my health? I'm in good health, and I can supervise your studies for several more years."

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't quarrel with you, how old are you, my friend is here"

"Friend?" The old man suddenly turned around and saw Xue Chen standing at the door, and immediately changed his smiling face, "Yo, Xiaochen, come on, don't stand at the door, come in and sit down."

"Master's voice is so loud, he must be in good health." Xue Chen smiled and coaxed the old man to be happy.

Although the old man still had a smile on his face, it couldn't hide the haggard look on his face.

"That's right, hey, come here as soon as you come, why do you still bring so many things?"

The old man went to take what Xue Chen was holding.

"Isn't it Chu Bei's birthday today, I want to come back and celebrate him with you"

"Did you hear that? It's not for you." Chu Bei helped the old man put things into the small kitchen.

"Then I will eat too"

"Then why don't you report to me first? That's mine."

"Oh, you boy..." The old man pointed at him, unable to speak for a long time.

"Okay, okay, let's go out, don't get in the way here, I'm going to cook, do you still want to eat?" Chu Bei smiled and pushed the old man out of the kitchen.

The kitchen was not that big, and neither of us could turn around in it.

The old man went out muttering.

Xue Chen walked to the door of the kitchen and watched Chu Bei wash the vegetables. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Bei turned his face and looked at Chu Bei, "Go out, the place is small, if you come in again we won't be cooking, it's time to cook. too much"

Xue Chen rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "If I knew it earlier, I should have taken the uncle to my house. How big is my kitchen? Let alone the two of us practicing Tai Chi, there is more than enough space for you to hold a martial arts conference."

"Tsk..." Chu Bei turned his face and glared at Xue Chen, "Does your mother know that you are so short-mouthed?"

"It's none of my mother's business?" Xue Chen smiled and squeezed into the kitchen, took a lettuce leaf from the dish Chu Bei was washing vegetables, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Are you a rabbit?" Chu Bei lowered his head and smiled.

Xue Chen looked at Chu Bei's profile, and couldn't move his eyes for a moment. Chu Bei's face was already fair, and no matter how fierce the fight was, he could protect his face intact. .

Xue Chen slowly approached.

Chu Bei's movements paused, and Xue Chen's breath fell on his face very lightly, gently, itchy, and numb, and he wanted to hide but didn't want to.

Chu Bei waited for a long time before Xue Chen's lips fell, and he pouted slightly dissatisfied.

Xue Chen chuckled in Chu Bei's ear, and kissed Chu Bei's earlobe, "Why are you nervous?"

"Who is nervous?" Chu Bei refused to admit it.

"The face is all red." Xue Chen poked Chu Bei's face with his finger, "The skin is so smooth and smooth."

Chu Bei turned his head to look at Xue Chen's face, looked at it for a while and raised his eyebrows and said, "It's like it's your fault."

"It's not as good as yours." Xue Chen smiled and touched Chu Bei's face. Although his skin was pretty good, it was indeed not as good as Chu Bei's.

"Hey, are you finished? Go out, the kitchen is too small, you are still in the way, I can't use it." Chu Bei pushed Xue Chen out of the kitchen with his elbow.

"Don't push, don't push, I will find you a big kitchen another day, and you can do whatever you want in it."

The corner of Chu Bei's mouth twitched, he was just cooking, why did he talk like a group fight?

As soon as Xue Chen came out of the kitchen, the old man brought a set of chess from his room and came out to greet Xue Chen, "Xiao Chen, come and play chess with me."

"You know how to play chess?" Xue Chen smiled and walked to sit down opposite the old man.

The chess box was covered in dust, and it seemed that it hadn't been touched for a long time.

"Yes, I watched other old men play before. After watching for a long time, I will watch the meeting. I usually have no one to accompany me. Do you know how to do it?"

"Yes, my grandpa likes this too. Our children all learn this. Every year when we go back to see him, we take turns to accompany him. It's hard to think about it."

"It's good to have a grandson, and someone will accompany you when you play chess," the old man said enviously.

"There's nothing good about having a grandson. They're noisy and always worry about it. It's best to have one, preferably like Xiao Bei. How sensible, good at studying, not noisy, just can't play chess." Xue Chen I guessed it, if Chu Bei could play chess, it would definitely not be what it is now.

The old man smiled and looked at Xue Chen, "You are the one he found to pour me the ecstasy soup, right?"

Although he knew that what Xue Chen said was to make him happy, most of it was not true, but he was still very happy after hearing it.

Although Chu Bei didn't say anything, the old man knew in his heart that Chu Bei cared about him, but he couldn't make him happy, and he was always angry with him.

"He asked me to accompany you to relieve boredom." Xue Chen smiled and took out the chess.

The two played until the third game, when Chubei and Chubei notified the two that their meal was ready, they put away the chess pieces, and then began to serve food outside.

The dishes that Chu Bei cooks are very simple, they are almost just fished out after they are put into the pot and fried. Six dishes.

The old man sat at the table and saw that there were five or six plates full of vegetarian dishes. He was not happy, "Where is my meat, where is my meat?"

Chu Bei smiled and brought out the soup, "Isn't your flesh on you? Why, can't you see it?"

The old man stared angrily, glaring at Chu Bei, "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat"

"Here is your meat?" Xue Chen came out with two plates of meat dishes with a smile, and just as he put the plates in front of the old man, Chu Bei took them away.

"Just let him eat some," Xue Chen said with a smile.

"Yes" the old man followed suit.

"What's right? Just keep talking." Chu Bei looked up at the old man, ignored the eyes of the old man and Xue Chen, and placed the two plates of meat dishes at the farthest place from the old man, then glared at Xue Chen, "Don't follow me!" Nonsense, you doctor is too incompetent."

"Xiaochen, are you a doctor?" the old man looked at Xue Chen and asked.

"Well, a veterinarian"

Xue Chen was overjoyed all of a sudden, and leaned closer to Chu Bei and whispered, "I see a doctor for... so what's the point? How did they offend you? You want to say that about them?"

Chu Bei was suddenly blocked and had nothing to say.

"Or among so many people, is there only one of them who is that what?"

"Your mouth is really twitching." Chu Bei glared at Xue Chen, walked into the kitchen and continued to serve soup.

The old man patted Xue Chen's hand, Xue Chen turned his head and looked at the old man, "Huh?"

"Are you the kind of child from a normal family?"

"Master, what are you talking about..." Xue Chen suddenly didn't know how to answer, it was obvious that the old man wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

"It's normal for people living here to have few children. Some of them have been educated by their families since they were young to steal things, cheat people and so on. Most of them have never been to school. There are also some gangsters here who specialize Abduct and sell children, and then go out to 'make money' for them"

Xue Chen lowered his head and took a cigarette from his pocket to light it. After thinking about it, he put it back. The old man was in poor health and could not smoke. Out of the corner of his eye, Xue Chen saw Chu Bei standing at the kitchen door.

After thinking about it, he still didn't make a sound.

"Although Xiaobei didn't live here since he was a child, he was brought here by me later. I regret it. Xiaobei is such a good boy. When I first picked him up, he was looking for something to eat in the garbage dump. I see When I arrived, I gave him bread, and he stood in the rubbish dump and looked at me with sparkling eyes. After a long time, I said thank you to me. I took him back when I felt soft-hearted. After I brought him back, I started I'm afraid, I'm afraid that he will be led crookedly, so I can't pull him slack and hard to get him into what he is now, Xiao Bei is actually very good here."

"I know you must have had a better life than Xiaobei when you were a child, and now you have such a good job, I am really happy for him to be able to make friends with Xiaobei. There are a few good ones, it's his luck that you don't dislike them, you are a doctor, I think you can definitely see that I'm sick, so..."

The old man couldn't continue. Why would he ask an outsider to take care of the child for him? Although the outsider knew the child very well, who would take care of others for a long time for no reason? That person is not stupid.

"Master, how do you say such depressing words? You..." Xue Chen originally wanted to ease the atmosphere, and didn't want to make the old man sad. Sometimes some illnesses are not as serious as you think, but because of your bad mentality, you can be blamed by yourself even if it is not serious. I was seriously scared, so mentality is very important.

"I know my body. I just want to keep Xiaobei from feeling bad. I don't want you to help Xiaobei everywhere. I just want to help him when he has a hard time and see him go wrong. If you can talk on the road, you can just talk back.”

Xue Chen nodded, feeling a little heavy in his heart, Chu Bei must be feeling more uncomfortable than himself, he... just listened.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of him. My mother also likes Xiao Bei, and maybe she will recognize him as her son." Xue Chen said with a smile, wanting to make the old man happy.

"Your mother also likes Xiaobei, as long as she likes it, that kid always causes trouble, although he never tells me, but I know in my heart that he often comes back with injuries on his body, I feel distressed when I look at it, and I want to ask again I don’t dare to ask, so I can only let him go. I know that his life outside is not easy. He is often pointed at his back and gossips. The school is full of children from normal families. It’s really difficult for him.”

"He doesn't feel wronged, he likes to study, he studies well"

"Teach him how to play chess"

"Well, I will teach him when I go back, and I promise to teach him to become a master."

"What are you talking about?" Chu Bei came out with a pot of soup.

"I asked Xiaochen why there is no cake. Don't everyone have a cake on their birthday?"

Xue Chen paused for a moment before realizing, "I made an order at noon today, but I forgot about it. I think it will be placed at the security of the community."

"It's okay, you can go back to eat cake after dinner"

As the old man spoke, he extended his chopsticks towards the plate of meat.

Chu Bei tapped the old man's chopsticks with his chopsticks and said seriously, "Eat other dishes."

"Hey, meat is not allowed, how can we not let people eat meat on birthdays?"

"It's not your birthday"

"If I want to celebrate my birthday, I will definitely get a whole roast pig"

Chu Bei looked at the old man with a smile, "Okay, I'll get it for you when it's your birthday next year."

"We've made an agreement, don't go back on your word, Xiaochen can testify here."

"Don't worry, if he doesn't give it to you, I'll beat it into a roast suckling pig for you to have as an appetizer." Xue Chen smiled and put a chopstick of meat in front of the old man, which caused Chu Bei to give him a sharp look.

After the meal, the old man said that it would be meaningful to eat the cake today, so he drove the two of them to express and left, saying that he would handle the rest by himself.

When Chu Bei walked to the door, he seemed to have thought of something. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the old man eating the meat on the plate. With a dark face, Chu Bei packed up the leftovers from the meat dishes he had made just now, and also the raw meat by the way. was taken away.

When Xue Chen went out, he saw the small flames erupting from the old man's eyes.
