Ha ha

"Chris, is this your greatest sincerity?" Bai Qi spoke softly and slowly, Xu Chenchuan's heart beat like a drum. "Or, after seeing me, you still can't accept it?"

There was silence all around, and the laughter of the box next door could be heard.

The alcohol in the stomach melted into the blood, rushed to the brain, and the roar of the blood vessels echoed in the ears.

He could feel that the other party was bewitching him, word by word, sentence by sentence, like a well-arranged trap to bewitch the prey.However, he still blurted out out of nowhere: "No."

"You don't need to talk about flaws at all, you know that I won't..." My own voice was floating, "If there is something that you can't accept, it's just like you—suddenly being nice to people, like a real responsible person Like the patient senior, but after a second, he changed his face and didn't tell me what I did wrong. I created some beautiful illusions on a whim, and when someone really approached, I stabbed someone again. Then I retreated , but you...

"Why? I'm probably stupid. I can only think in a straight line. I can't understand this kind of thing. Can you just tell me?"

"Tell you what?" Bai Qi tilted his head.

"...Do you hate me? Are you mad at me?"

Bai Qi was still smiling but not smiling, his dark eyes seemed to hide Qianxun Hantan: "No, I don't hate you, and I'm not angry."

Xu Chenchuan hesitated, trying in vain to see some clues from the other party's face. "Then you—what are you thinking about, what do you want?"

Bai Qi deepened his smile: "Will you give me anything I want?"

"..."

The words lingered three times on the lips, like gall that could not be swallowed.

"Chris." Bai Qi called out and stretched out his right hand.

Xu Chenchuan stood up as if hypnotized, and walked towards him.Nerves were paralyzed by half-truths and half-false drunkenness, but reason hid somewhere quietly overlooking the farce.

That's how it should be.Bai Qi looked up at the blushing young man.This is how it was supposed to go, like a rehearsed script without any changes.

His raised fingertips were facing the face far away, moving slightly in the air, as if tracing some shape.

Xu Chenchuan didn't understand what he meant, and took another step closer.The shadow cast by his body covered Bai Qi's cheeks, and the lights above his head cast a psychedelic halo.

Everything happened extremely absurdly, but logically.

So red, those wine-stained lips.The dazzling mellow fragrance hit his face and entangled him.Xu Chenchuan slowly bent down as if possessed.

The sound of the doorknob being turned came clearly, and the terrified comprehension was instantly shattered.

Xu Chenchuan straightened up abruptly, and sat back in his original seat under the suspicious gaze of the waiter who opened the door.

The two of them didn't speak, and let the waiter come to him to pour tea and replace the two barely touched plates.The air cooled rapidly in silence. The scene just now seemed to be the most grotesque fantasy in my mind, without any reality.Xu Chenchuan lowered his head, his chin almost reached his chest, and his sudden heartbeat seemed to be transmitted all the way to the end of the corridor.After sitting in a daze for a while, he stood up suddenly and muttered "Sorry to excuse me", then grabbed his coat and hurriedly disappeared at the door.

The waiter watched the customer flee in amazement.

She subconsciously looked at another customer, but saw that he had already raised his chopsticks and started eating leisurely, his pretty face was expressionless.

******

Xu Chenchuan walked a long way along the street in a daze, and finally sat on the ground leaning on a street lamp, blowing a cold wind for an unknown amount of time under the sideways gazes of passers-by.After the red tide on his face completely receded and his body was completely cold, he hailed a taxi and went home.

Xu Guoqi and Shu Yingli were sitting on the sofa watching TV, when they heard the sound of the key turning, Shu Yingli got up to help him get his slippers: "Why are you back so late?"

"It's been a while." Xu Chenchuan said perfunctorily.

"Well, is it delicious?"

"Gu..." Xu Chenchuan's stomach answered instead.

Shu Yingli looked at him silently.

"... I had a good time chatting with my friends, but I forgot to eat..." Xu Chenchuan bit the bullet and thought of words.

Fortunately, Shu Yingli didn't ask any more questions, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen: "Noodles or dumplings?"

After a while, Xu Chenchuan sat down at the table and ate the hot dumplings.Xu Guoqi smelled the fragrance, and he also leaned over and stretched out two chopsticks.

"There's nothing in the refrigerator. Xiao Cheng and the others will come in two days' time on New Year's Day, so they have to buy more food and fruit." Shu Yingli looked at the two eating, and poked Xu Guoqi, "What are Xiao Cheng's taboos? You Remember to make a list for me."

"it is good."

Xu Chenchuan had a dull face, he didn't know what to eat, and their conversations drifted past his ears, but his thoughts had already flown to nowhere.

He doesn't remember exactly what he said, he just knows that he has been being stupid.There is also the escape of the finishing touch at the end, which is really smashed from beginning to end.What a good Xu Chenchuan, what a campus romance drama.

Obviously they are all adults, and I have a good impression of myself, and the other party seems to be quite positive, so just go with the feeling.But in the chaotic state at that time, he couldn't explain why, but he just instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Too eager, too hasty, like multiple-choice questions scribbled in the 30 seconds before handing in the paper, doomed to make mistakes.

"...He hasn't deteriorated recently, has he?"

"I heard it's okay, but also..."

"Hey. Life is full of misfortunes and fortunes..."

"...I'm not sure, look at Shuying..."

Xu Chenchuan's ears moved, and his attention was drawn back.

Shu Yingli patted Xu Guoqi's arm, frowned and said, "It's unlucky to mention this during the big festival."

Xu Chenchuan was stunned, and a little coolness suddenly appeared in his heart.

******

When meeting Bai Sheng at Xu's company the next day, Xu Chenchuan hardly dared to look directly at him.However, Bai Sheng's expression was as usual, without a trace of unnaturalness, as if he really didn't know anything about what happened between his brother and Xu Chenchuan.

Xu Chenchuan was a little relieved, thinking about what happened last night, he wished he could dig into the ground.

It happened to be lunch time, and the two went out to have a light meal together.

Bai Sheng is like the opposite of his brother.Eating with Bai Qi is like fighting, but Bai Sheng is warm and friendly, he seems to be able to get along with everyone naturally, no matter what topic is discussed, he is full of interest.Except for the nature, it is probably also trained at work, and it is easy to generate trust between words and deeds.

Xu Chenchuan thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and tried to bring the topic to that question: "I heard from you last time that your brother is very good at English?"

"Yes, he is indeed quite talented in this area. Next time I have a chance, I can introduce you to each other." Bai Sheng said with a smile.

Xu Chenchuan forced a smile and didn't answer, he was afraid that Bai Sheng would really take action if he continued, but he was unwilling to stop there: "Then maybe he has joined the subtitle group or something? It's full of talents."

Bai Sheng frowned, and seemed to try to recall: "It seems that I heard him talk about the establishment of a group a long time ago... But I, an English scum, didn't care, so I didn't ask, hehe. Is Chris also in the subtitle group? Maybe you have encountered it before."

"Really? It's really possible. What's the name of the group he built?"

"Hmm—" Bai Sheng started to frown again, Xu Chenchuan looked at him nervously.

Suddenly there was a text message notification tone.Bai Sheng took out his phone and looked at it, his expression changed.

"Excuse me, I'll make a call." He said as he got up and walked to a corner.Xu Chenchuan was not far away, and he vaguely heard his voice: "Hello, brother."

Xu Chenchuan's ears perked up.

"How did this happen?" Bai Cheng spoke quickly, seeming a little anxious, "I see, I'll go right away... No no, aren't you still sick, just stay at home, and I'll just deal with it."

Xu Chenchuan blinked.Is the paper crane sick?Since when?

Bai Sheng took up the cable and walked back, with a grim expression on his face, he sat down before he could speak.Seeing this, Xu Chenchuan said: "If you have something to do, go first, don't worry about me."

"It's really urgent to go, I'm sorry..."

"It's all right." Xu Chenchuan waved his hand, remembering that he came here in his own car, and asked again, "You didn't drive, so it's inconvenient to go there, isn't it?"

"It doesn't matter, I can fight through."

"There's no way to get a taxi on this road. I'll take you there. You've finished eating anyway."

Bai Sheng hurriedly wanted to refuse, but Xu Chenchuan had already got up to pay the bill.

Bai Sheng's affection for the rich man immediately rose to a new level, and he thanked him repeatedly and sat in the passenger seat.

"Where are you going?" Xu Chenchuan asked.

Bai Sheng reported the name of a street far away from here.Xu Chenchuan was not familiar with that area, so he took out his car navigator and set a destination. Looking at the map, he couldn't help but feel strange—except for a high school, the neighborhood is all residential areas.But this was someone else's private matter, so he just started the car silently.

******

Bai Qi moved himself into a wheelchair from the private car for the disabled, and entered the high school gate.Seeing him like this, the gatekeeper showed him the way very enthusiastically.

Bai Qi followed the instructions and came to the bottom of a teaching building. When he looked up, he saw a few people standing in the corridor on the third floor.A young woman who looked like a teacher was reaching out and poking her little brother on the forehead.

Bai Qi's expression turned cold, he found out the number dialed by the head teacher, and called back.

The woman on the third floor picked up the phone, and Bai Qi said, "Mr. Huang, I'm here."

"Oh, it's Bai Hao's parents, right?" Teacher Huang said, "We're in Class 5, Senior Three on the third floor..."

Bai Qi interrupted her: "I'm downstairs, please come down, it's not convenient for me to go up."

The woman on the third floor paused, looked down, and saw Bai Qi sitting in a wheelchair, with a strange expression on her face.She turned to the two patriarchal figures and said a few words.After a moment of stalemate, the group turned and walked towards the stairs.

Bai Qi quietly waited for them to come out of the corridor.Teacher Huang followed Bai Hao, and a strange boy, and the two next to him were probably the boy's parents.

Unlike his two elder brothers in appearance, Bai Hao is tall and fat.His face was painted now, and there was a bruise next to his eye.The other boy was even more miserable, with a large swollen forehead and bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He cowered and hid behind his mother.

Mr. Huang is young and energetic. This year, he became the head teacher of the third year of high school for the first time, and he is striving for performance.In the end, unfortunately, there were a few problem students who caused her troubles every day, and Bai Hao was one of them.She has regarded Bai Hao as a thorn in her side for a long time, but this time she seized the opportunity and wanted to teach the parents a lesson, but the moment she saw Bai Qi clearly, she froze.

"You belong to Bai Hao..."

"Brother." Bai Qi's eyes flicked over several people, and finally stopped on Bai Hao, "What's going on?"
