Embroidered Pillows and Paper Tigers

It wasn't until that night that Fu Youcheng showed up at the hospital. He ignored Shen Yan who was taking care of Qu Ya in the hospital, turned his head to look at the child, and asked Qu Ya with a smile: "Oh, look at this little boy, son?"

Qu Ya's expression dimmed, and she said, "Daughter."

Fu Youcheng obviously paused, but he still said under the eyes of the family members of the pregnant women in the room, "That's fine, that's fine."

Shen Yan sent Li Shi'an out, and the two of them walked out of the hospital tiredly, and sat on a roadside bench.

The two snuggled up on the bench. Li Shi'an was hungry, so he took out the coffee candy in his pocket and handed one to Shen Yan. He asked, "Are you going back to the training camp?"

Shen Yan shook his head.

Li Shi'an asked again: "Will that have any impact?"

Shen Yan still shook his head.

It's been two months since we saw each other, and there should have been a lot to say, but the baby who arrived half a month earlier than expected disturbed his heart.

Not long after the training camp, there will be the entrance exam, the school exam, and then the college entrance exam. Shen Yan would have been able to get rid of everything that restrained him very soon. He would go to college to get a scholarship and work part-time. There is no need to ask Qu Ya to give him a penny. , he will be free.

However, the arrival of the baby bound Qu Ya and bound him.

The two of them sat for an hour before they separated. When Li Shi'an returned home, he was in a daze. First, he felt tired from staying up all night. Second, he always felt that the birth of that child did not bring joy to anyone. When the sticky little ball was stuffed into his hands, he felt his heart melt again.

Li Qishan was at home that night, he had been sitting on the sofa, seeing that Li Shian was out of his mind the moment he entered the door, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Shi'an walked over and sat down next to him, and said, "Shen Yan's mother gave birth, so I went too."

Li Qishan was quite surprised, and then realized: "You didn't go to school today?"

Li Shi'an: "Ah."

Li Qishan: "How did you ask for leave?"

Li Shi'an: "Tell the teacher that you are sick."

Li Qishan: "..."

Although he was helpless, Li Qishan wasn't angry either. Having a baby was a big deal after all, and he was also aware of the situation next door, so there was nothing to blame for the kid helping him.

Li Shi'an was still in the feeling of surprise that made him silent: "When the nurse put Sister Shen Yan on my hand, it felt so strange."

Li Qishan asked: "How does it feel?"

"I can't describe it." Li Shi'an handed the phone to Li Qishan, "I took a picture of her."

Li Qishan took it over and took a look: "Hahaha, children are all similar in appearance, and it's the same when the nurse stuffed you into my hands."

Li Shi'an said: "This is the first time I saw such a small baby, and it was just born."

Li Qishan patted him on the shoulder: "In the future, the feeling of being a father yourself will be stronger."

Hearing what Li Qishan said, Li Shian felt guilty, and after a while he tried to say: "Having a baby is too scary, what if I don't want it?"

Li Qishan got up to pour water for himself. Hearing what his son said, he was puzzled and said: "Just now I saw that you really like children, why did you say no? Besides, you haven't arrived yet, so it's too early to say that you don't want to bring children? "

In order not to make Li Qishan suspicious, Li Shi'an faltered and evaded his inconsistency, and then ran upstairs.

Li Shi'an went back to school the next day, while Shen Yan stayed in the hospital until three days later when a baby's cry came from the next door, and Li Shi'an knocked on the door.

Shen Yan opened the door with a haggard face and bloodshot eyes. They didn't see him so tired when they stayed up all night. Li Shi'an asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yan turned sideways to let him into the room: "Xiaotong cries all the time at night and cannot sleep well."

Li Shi'an asked in a low voice, "Have you chosen a name?"

Shen Yan nodded: "Well, it's Xiaotong."

Li Shi'an asked again in a low voice: "Where is Fu Youcheng?"

Shen Yan also lowered his voice, not wanting to be heard by Qu Ya: "When I heard it was a girl, I never hugged her. She said she was on a business trip, and it happened that I didn't want to see him either."

Li Shi'an: "Then you really don't want to go back to the training camp?"

Shen Yan said, "I won't go, I'll go back to school tomorrow."

Fu Youcheng didn't bother with anything when he hired a confinement lady, because it was a temporary appointment and there were not many options. The confinement lady was quite old and conservative. After she left, Shen Yan wanted to stay at home and help Qu Ya.

But Qu Ya disagreed with Shen Yan guarding her at home, Shen Yan had no choice but to go back to school the next day, but even so he tried his best not to let Qu Ya touch the cold water, and not let her be too tired.

Shen Yan adjusted his exercise plan. He used to go to the Wetland Park for running, but now he went to the vegetable market. He bought chicken early in the morning and stewed it for Qu Ya, and when he came back at night, he had to wash a bunch of dishes. Then mop the floor, and finally finish the homework. Sometimes the homework is half done and the child cries and has to be coaxed.

Seeing that Shen Yan was getting more and more tired day by day, Li Shi'an couldn't go back to the training camp, and he didn't see him go to the dance studio, so he was anxious, so he stayed up with Shen Yan at night, the child woke up at night, and when the two of them did the problems, they used the baby sling to hang up in turn. chest.

Both of them were not yet old enough to be fathers, but they quickly learned to hold and coax the child, and even change the wet diaper of the child, but they got up frequently at night, and Shen Yan was still unbearably sleepy from time to time. One night, he hugged the child Just fell asleep on the chair.

Li Shi'an felt that such a scene was very warm, and as soon as he took out his phone to take a photo, Shen Yan woke up.

"I can't go on like this, I'd better ask for leave." Li Shi'an said.

Shen Yan rubbed his face, he really couldn't hold on anymore.

So he asked for a week of leave. On the first day of the leave, when Qu Ya and Xiaotong fell asleep, he read books, studied the questions, and studied at his own pace, skipping the knowledge points reviewed by the teacher that he was already familiar with. Although it can save a lot of time, there is still no chance to go to the dance studio.

Li Shi'an was at school that day, and he cared about Shen Yan every now and then, until the Nth time when he took out his phone and asked what Shen Yan was doing, Lao Xie turned his head and looked at him, as if staring at a Like someone you don't know.

"What's wrong?" Li Shi'an asked Lao Xie while biting his pen.

Old Xie said, "Do you know when today is the official opening day of the school?"

Li Shi'an made some calculations and said, "On the eighth day, what's wrong?"

Seeing that he was so belatedly aware, Lao Xie was speechless: "Don't you think there's something wrong?"

Li Shi'an thought about it and shook his head.

Old Xie was very angry: "Zhu He! It's the second week of school and he still hasn't come!"

Li Shi'an slapped himself hard on the forehead. Recently, he actually forgot about Zhu He because of Shen Yan's family. But in fact, he can't be blamed for this. After all, Zhu He hasn't appeared since the month of tutoring, and Li Shi'an just got used to it.

"Um... didn't you ask him why he didn't come?" He asked Lao Xie.

Old Xie said helplessly: "I asked, and when I asked, he said that his mother was still sick. I asked him what was wrong and didn't say anything. If I asked a few more words, he would ignore me. I have been to his house twice and knocked on him for a long time. door, no one paid me any attention, it was like no one in the room.”

This is strange, has something happened at home?

Li Shi'an thought about it all the time, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, so he went to Zhu He's house with Lao Xie when he was studying at night and after school. The two of them knocked on the door of Zhu He's house as if asking for debts. The house is an old building that is about to be abandoned, and no one lives there, so the neighbors didn't call the police.

Within 2 minutes of knocking, the door opened, and it was Zhu He himself who opened the door. Li Shi'an glanced at Lao Xie, and asked with his eyes: "Don't you say there is no one at home?"

Old Xie looked innocent: "You can't blame me, I've never been here so late before."

Li Shi'an turned to Zhu He. He hadn't seen him for a summer vacation. Zhu He seemed to have changed a lot. His expression became dull and his eyes were dull. Seeing him and Lao Xie showed no surprise or enthusiasm at all.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you go to school?" Li Shi'an asked Zhu He.

"The teacher hasn't talked to me yet, you came first." Zhu He's voice was a little hoarse, he turned and entered the room, sat on the concrete floor, folded and folded the old cardboards he found in the trash can, and then used The rope is tied skillfully.

These are all picked up when he was sweeping the floor with his mother, and they can be sold for money.

Li Shi'an and Lao Xie at the door looked at each other. Zhu He has always been gentle and polite, but today's attitude is very abnormal. Lao Xie couldn't help but squeeze in the door and ask first: "Old Zhu, do you have any difficulties?"

Zhu He didn't answer, and continued to arrange the waste cardboard in his hand as if he didn't hear it.

Li Shi'an finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Your mother is not sick, right, why don't you go to school?"

Zhu He looked up at Li Shi'an, then lowered his head, and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that everyone works hard. My grades are not enough, so I don't want to study anymore."

Lao Xie smiled bitterly: "It's just a drop of more than a dozen ranks. There are so many people in the grade. Are you going to give up if you fail the exam once? Then shouldn't I go home early to move bricks?"

Hearing what Lao Xie said, Li Shi'an realized that Zhu He dropped more than a dozen places last semester. Zhu He occasionally performed exceptionally, but he never dropped more than five places at a time. Only Ju Hyuk's ranking was not reported.

However, based on Li Shi'an's understanding of Zhu He, Zhu He is not such a person who gives up easily. If everyone works hard, he is too stressed to continue studying. Li Shi'an can't believe it. Think you're hopeless in high school?

He suddenly thought of a possibility and asked, "Is someone bullying you?"

Zhu He’s hands tying the cardboard paused. Every time Li Shi’an could explain his difficulties in one word, and he could help himself resolve these difficulties at any time. Li Shi’an was like the mercy bestowed on him by fate, but now he hopes Li Shi'an shouldn't be so kind to him, so that he can betray without any psychological burden.

Since the night of Tang Doudou's birthday party, Zhu He's nightmare began, because of the scene he saw accidentally, Yu Qiao kept pestering him.

Relying on knowing that Zhu He's father is a murderer, Yu Qiao has no bottom line for each comparison. He threw firecrackers into this dilapidated building. That day Zhu He and his mother were eating, and a table of meals that were not rich in the first place was destroyed. It exploded everywhere, but fortunately no one was hurt.

Before the most severe summer vacation, Yu Qiao and a few people put Zhu He into a large plastic bucket and rolled it on the street. Zhu He was so painful that he couldn't even walk. But there was no scar on his body, so there was nothing he could do about those bastards.

Zhu He's mother was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, thinking that Zhu He had offended some important people outside, and had the idea of ​​going back to his hometown several times, but Zhu He refused. He has always had a dream, that is to be admitted to the best French College, he wants to study law, become a lawyer, and clear the wrongs for his wronged father.

But at the same time, Yu Qiao's bullying made him unable to persevere. He wanted to hide for a while, suspend school for another year, and staggered a grade with Yu Qiao.

This is a method, and it is not a method. After all, Zhu He is a person who has suspended his studies once. He knows that what he is delaying is a great youth.

He is very contradictory, and the way to get rid of it is very simple, as long as he anonymously sends a letter and writes what he saw that day, but he just can't do it.Li Shi'an was so kind to him, he didn't want to lose such a friend, let alone destroy a person.

Zhu He has been silent for too long, and Li Shi'an has found the answer from his silence. He said to Zhu He: "Don't tell me, right? We will figure it out."

Zhu He knew that Li Shi'an's demerit and punishment had not been cleared. If he really understood that the matter was related to Yu Qiao, he would definitely fight again. He kicked the neatly folded waste cardboard on the ground and cursed: "You think you Who? Am I omnipotent? I am such a scumbag, living in such a place, living such a life, what do you expect from me? To be a dragon and phoenix among people!"

Li Shi'an glanced at Zhu He and pulled Lao Xie away.

Zhu He got anxious, got up from the ground and chased him out, shouting, "Li Shi'an! I don't want you to care!"

Li Shi'an and Lao Xie had already arrived downstairs, and Li Shi'an said to Lao Xie, "Don't you know some escaped people? Ask about this?"

Lao Xie also seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the matter. He didn't know what kind of bastard he was to drive Zhu He to the point where he didn't dare to go to school. He nodded and said, "Chat on WeChat, go back first."

Li Shi'an had already wasted a lot of time on visiting Zhu He's house. Li Shi'an thought that Shen Yan would be waiting for him at home, so he said goodbye to Lao Xie, and hurriedly took a taxi home.
