why don't you laugh

In the afternoon after returning to school, Chen Bing called Xiao Zhi.

As he went upstairs, he talked to his mobile phone: "I'm coming up."

Xiao Zhi responded and opened the door. He was wearing a black T-shirt, with broad shoulders and long legs. His shoulders were near the door, and he looked down at him lazily: "Are you here?"

Chen Bing stepped in: "Have you finished your homework?"

"It's finished."

Xiao Zhi followed behind him.The windows of his room were all open, blown by the wind, and there seemed to be a faint smell of alcohol and tobacco.Chen Bing took another deep breath, but he couldn't smell anything.

Xiao Zhi opened the chair and sat down, and said, "Do you want to check?"

"Forget it." Chen Bing closed the window and said, "Don't you feel hot?"

Xiao Zhi looked up at him for a while.

Chen Bing opened the chair and sat down, Xiao Zhi stretched out his long legs to press between his legs, raised his eyebrows, and asked about yesterday's events: "Why did Aunt Xu suddenly add me on WeChat?"

It was still yesterday, when Xu Rong suddenly asked Chen Bing for Xiao Zhi's WeChat, but Xiao Zhi didn't know, so after adding it, he simply said yes and then lay on the list without any movement.

Chen Bing took his phone and looked at it: "Have you deleted those non-mainstream posts?"

Xiao Zhi laughed: "All deleted."

Chen Bing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."

He refused to explain the reason for a long time, Xiao Zhi propped his chin with one hand, looked at him from the backlight, stretched out his hand to hold his wrist: "Then why add me?"

At that time, he asked on WeChat, and Chen Bing said, I will tell you when we meet.

Now, Chen Bing looked at the book in front of him aimlessly with lowered eyes, and after a while, said: "I told my mother about you."

Xiao Zhi raised his eyes: "Huh?"

"Say—" Chen Bing's voice paused, "You are my boyfriend."

Before speaking, Chen Bing didn't think too much, but just wanted to share his happiness with Xu Rong.

After speaking, Chen Bing vaguely felt that he was really brave and didn't consider the consequences.However, although Xu Rong was full of worry and lost his mind from time to time, he didn't find a better solution, and seemed to accept the reality helplessly.

Xiao Zhi looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "You should have said it earlier."

He reopened the chat box with Xu Rong, lowered his eyes, and unconsciously scratched his hair with his fingers: "Then I was too indifferent when I answered yesterday?"

Simply sent a few emoticons to each other, asking if you had lunch, and nothing else.

But not long after that, Xiao Zhi kept receiving text messages saying, "Aunt Xu gave you a like".All his dynamic settings are visible, and when he wakes up after taking a nap, there are dozens of them.

Xiao Zhi reacted: "Is this an investigation?"

Chen Bing threw the phone back on the table, with his shoulders lightly resting on the back of the chair, sitting quite relaxed: "I don't know."

Perhaps Xu Rong always had to worry about whether this kid was really nice to Chen Bing, so she wanted to add a contact number, so she could find him if she needed anything.

"By the way," Chen Bing remembered, and took out a box of nut snacks from his schoolbag, "My mother made it herself, let me give you a taste too."

Xiao Zhi took it, stared at the exquisite packaging, said for a moment speechless: "I thought I would be scolded, but I didn't expect to eat it."

Chen Bing looked at him, lowered his head, thought for a while and said, "My mother never scolds me."

"Yes, Aunt Xu is really kind." Xiao Zhi stood up and touched Chen Bing's face again, "That's why I raised you so cute."

"..." Chen Bing had a problem with the description of him being cute at every turn, and when he wanted to say something, the shadow in front of him approached.

Xiao Zhi kissed him lightly on the lips, then leaned over and put his arms around his waist.

Xiao Zhi seemed a little anxious, but after hugging him, he gradually calmed down.He kissed Chen Bing's ear vaguely: "Bing Bing."

The voice is a little low.

"Here." Chen Bing dragged his voice.

Xiao Zhi's throat slipped into a chuckle, and he hugged him tightly: "Bing Bing."

Chen Bing didn't know what to say, so he hugged him back.

Turning his gaze, Chen Bing saw the messy clothes scattered on the bed.Xiao Zhi is usually tidy. He has lived in a pampered state for more than ten years, and he pays attention to tidiness in his bones.Now the house is a mess.

Chen Bing asked, "Have you washed your clothes yet?"

"Throw away the washing machine later." Xiao Zhi cast a glance and said lazily.

Chen Bing finally realized what was wrong.

He raised his hand, inserted it between Xiao Zhi's hair, pulled his hair and pushed it back gently, exposing his forehead, looking straight into his eyes: "Are you smoking?"

Xiao Zhi covered the back of his hand with his fingers, and was silent for a while.

"Only one."

"What's the difference between one pack and one pack?" Chen Bing's eyes were covered with light dark gray, and he said softly, "Isn't it the same to scratch out the word 'thank you' when scratching the prize, and scratching out 'thank you for your patronage'?"

"..."

Xiao Zhi looked down at him and said, "I was wrong."

Quiet for a while.

It's okay for him to defend himself, now he directly admits his mistake, Chen Bing has no place to say that he is not, just staring at his eyes and kissing him: "You know you are wrong?"

Xiao Zhi stared at him with pitch-black eyes, and his voice was so low that it almost melted.

"understood."

"..."

I didn't know how to continue the next topic.Chen Bing turned his head and continued to look at the homework just now, Xiao Zhi hugged him enough, turned back to the bed, and said, "I haven't taken a nap yet."

"Then you sleep." Chen Bing continued to flip through his homework.

This afternoon, the weather was fine, but when Xiao Zhi woke up, it was suddenly cloudy, and when he went to school, it suddenly rained heavily.Every year from June to July in Chengshi, it rains heavily. It rains for several days in a row, and sometimes the subway station is washed away by stagnant water.

Chen Bing was about to go out, looked at the rain outside the window, turned around and asked, "Do you have an umbrella?"

"Yes," Xiao Zhi found out from the cabinet, "only one, and Xiao Ruo's little pink umbrella, do you want it?"

"..."

Chen Bing said, "Let's squeeze together."

It took only a few hours to go down to the ground floor, and the bottom of the floor was full of water.Chen Bing walked around where there was no water and said, "It's raining too much."

Xiao Zhi grasped the rib of the umbrella between his fingers, jumped out and grabbed it back for Chen Bing, and covered it under the umbrella: "Go slowly."

The space under the umbrella is still wide, but they should be close together.Xiao Zhi was wearing a school uniform, with a thin air of coldness on his body, he didn't think about talking endlessly like before.

At the school gate, I met Wen Wei and Fu Hang. They each held an umbrella and stood on the road distracted: "How the hell are you doing this?"

The cement pit at the outer gate of No. [-] Middle School was full of water, surrounded by students who were standing still, but there were also a few warriors who stepped into the puddle and walked away howling.

Fu Hang turned around: "I'll go home and change into a pair of slippers."

"..." Wen Wei sighed, and continued to patrol, "Is this fucking okay? I still wear canvas shoes, and my socks are all wet."

When he said that, Chen Bing lowered his head, remembering that he was also wearing black canvas shoes.

——When thinking of Wen Wei's phrase "socks are wet", Chen Bing was in a dilemma, turned his head to look at Xiao Zhi: "How the hell are you doing this?"

It's okay for girls to wear sandals, so they just passed by.They stood here for a while, with a large group of classmates crowded behind them.Xiao Zhi handed the umbrella to Chen Bing and said, "Take it."

Chen Bing didn't know why, so he took it.

The next second, he felt Xiao Zhi approaching him, and he had a bad premonition, and before he had time to back up, he saw Xiao Zhi half-bending in front of him, his breath passing by, and Chen Bing was directly hugged by him.

Chen Bing: "?"

Hold? !

Not only was Chen Bing confused, but behind the scenes, Wen Wei directly "fucked": "What are you doing?"

The soles of Xiao Zhi's sneakers were slightly thicker, and he looked for a place where the water was not too deep, and prepared to go there with Chen Bing in his arms.

The rain was crackling and flapping the umbrella cover messily, just like Chen Bing was in a mess right now, his mind was empty until he was pulled back to his thoughts by the screaming beside him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I rely on this, can I see it?!"

"Damn, it's so beautiful, Tianxiu is not as good as yours."

"Man-made tricks to avoid water."

"..."

Chen Bing struggled: "Fuck me, Xiao Zhi! Let me down."

"...Don't move. It'll be over soon." Xiao Zhi hugged him firmly, and with a low voice, he took Chen Bing to the school gate and gently put it in a dry place.

The feet hit the ground.

Chen Bing opened his eyes, feeling like a dream, but there was a cold breath coming from his side.Xiao Zhi's shoulders were drenched by the rain just now, his hair was wet, and his eyebrows and eyes were stained with the moisture of the rain.

Chen Bing looked at him, but before he could speak, Wen Wei waved his hands frantically behind him: "Brother Xiao? Brother Xiao? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm also a canvas shoe, save my dog's life!"

"Wait for me." Xiao Zhi stuffed the umbrella into his hand.

He walked straight over and stood next to Wen Wei from the previous route.

Xiao Zhi is very tall, looking down at Wen Wei, he opened his arms and raised his legs at the same time: "Brother Xiao, I want a hug!"

Xiao Zhi raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm hugging your mother."

After finishing speaking, he stretched his hand across Wen Wei's waist, put it on his shoulder, and carried him quickly towards the school gate.

Chen Bing: "..."

Wen Wei desperately grabbed his shoulders so as not to fall off: "Brother Xiao, are you a brother? Ice God Princess hugs, I'm fucking on the shoulders?"

"Pick and choose. It's good to have some."

Xiao Zhi responded indifferently, and then let him beside the flower bed.

Chen Bing went over with an umbrella, Xiao Zhi's shoulders and half of his body were still in the rain, and a large area of ​​his snow-white school uniform was wet.

Chen Bing raised the umbrella above his head.

His wrists were bare, and he was rather thin. Xiao Zhi quickly took the umbrella and moved towards him again: "Let's go."

"Did this rain set the tone for the tragic fate of senior high school candidates?" Wen Wei walked beside them with a playful smile.

Xiao Zhi glanced at him: "It may also be a link between the past and the future, playing a transitional role, implying our tragic fate."

Wen Wei wailed: "Now we are in the third year of high school?"

time flies.

The third year of high school is gone, and the second year of high school is the third year of high school.

The school was obviously much more spacious than before, Chen Bing walked beside Xiao Zhi, subconsciously looking at him a few more times.

The course of life is continuous growth.

High school is just a process in life, but at this age, you can most directly feel the growth and prosperity of all life, and touch the outline of time.

Walked into the teaching building.Xiao Zhi held the ribs of the umbrella and folded it. He was tall, his back was tall and straight, his school uniform was slightly wet by the rain, and it was reflected in the petals and green leaves behind him.

Chen Bing looked at him, his fingertips were wet and slowly drying.

The surroundings are lively, but the heart is very quiet.

It's like I've never felt summer before.

Lu Weimin took out a calendar and prepared to hang it on the most conspicuous place on the wall after class: "From now on, your high school will be counted by a countdown. Maybe you don't feel it yet, but time passes quickly. Before Students who work hard can start working hard now, it is not too late. Tell you, time waits for no one!"

No one listened to his words, and the atmosphere in the classroom was quite restless.

It may be because of the heavy rain, the evening self-study is only half a class, and the classroom is suddenly dark.

The whole school burst into a burst of "Wow."

"power cut!"

The voice was surprisingly consistent.Chen Bing had never been to a school where the power went out unexpectedly. Looking around, everyone was quite excited.Wen Wei even turned around and clasped their desktops, his eyes tearing apart: "If the power is off, you don't have to go to class!"

"..."

Classrooms are paralyzed.

Lu Weimin came in and walked around, seeing that there was nothing he could do, he said, "Then you go to self-study, don't make noise."

It is impossible not to quarrel, and it is impossible not to quarrel even if you are killed.

As soon as he went out, people in the classroom played with mobile phones, played cards, invited pen masters to invite pen masters, chatted and chatted, and it was extremely lively for this sudden night.

Xiao Zhi looked around for a while, the corners of his lips gradually disappeared, and he took out the desk lamp from the belly of the table.

After turning the switch, a beam of orange light fell on the table, illuminating the black and white words on the paper.

Originally, Chen Bing felt that the atmosphere tonight was restless, and he couldn't learn from it.

But Xiao Zhi took out the newly edited review book, facing the light, pressed the cap of the pen to turn over the pages, and began to read the questions and calculate.

... I don't know when it started.

He lost that part of his weakness and became rational.

The surroundings are lively and lively, the sound of tables and benches being twitched can be heard endlessly, books are waving, and the noise is constant, mixed with the laughter of the teenagers.

Xiao Zhi, however, began to keep silent amidst the bustle.

Near the end of the term, the fans in the classroom creaked and squeaked, and a few big men stood beside the air conditioner in the rear, wiping their sweat while flipping up their T-shirts.

The chirping of cicadas was intermittent.

Chen Bing propped his chin on his wrist, turning his pen once and for all. After Wen Wei finished playing, he rushed over from the back row and saw an empty seat beside him.

"Brother Xiao asked for leave again?"

Chen Bing: "Yes."

"Why this time?"

Chen Bing didn't know very well, so he took the pen in his hand and said, "It's about Xiao Ruo."

"It's still the same thing," Wen Wei lowered his voice, "Some time ago, old man Lu was called over to persuade Brother Xiao to give up Xiao Ruo and focus on studying. Are these people suffering from cerebral palsy? Is it over?"

Guan Kun was bored all the time, turned around and said, "This is enough trouble."

Noisy enough.

Chen Bing turned his head and looked out the window, the bright sunlight was a bit dazzling.

"Brother Xiao feels very tired these days. Fighting for a child is similar to watching TV dramas before. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are tearing each other up until their heads are bleeding. It feels really scary."

"Junior high school is on vacation for the past few days, and his mother may have robbed her even more fiercely, just to take her away for the summer vacation."

"..."

"—To be honest," Guan Kun interjected in the aimless chat, "Actually, I think it's good to let my sister go back. Her mother is rich."

Her mother is rich.

Wen Wei turned to look at him.

He was silent for a few seconds, obviously agreeing in his heart, but denied Guan Kun: "You can't say that, the most important thing in life is to be happy."

Topic interrupted.

Maybe you guessed the ending of the story from the beginning.

But there was only one person standing there, stubbornly resisting.

Originally made an appointment to go out for dinner and prepare for the exam tomorrow, but before leaving, Chen Bing suddenly changed his mind and said, "I'm going to Xiao Zhi's house."

Wen Wei also wanted to follow, but when he walked outside the school gate, he said, "We still won't come. Private space, Ice God, please persuade him."

Chen Bing took a taxi there.

He got in the car and called Xiao Zhi, but he didn't answer.Chen Bing took it for granted and went directly to his house, but when he went upstairs, he found the door was locked.

Xiao Zhi is not at home.

Chen Bing took the phone to send a message and call again, but still didn't reply.

Probably busy.Chen Bing had the key to Xiao Zhi's house, took it out, opened the door and went in.

The air in the room was quite stuffy because the doors and windows were closed.

Chen Bing pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows to ventilate, while sitting back on the sofa and waiting for others to come back.

There was a wad of money on the coffee table, other than that, there seemed to be nothing special about it.

Chen Bing waited until seven o'clock to prepare to eat, but thought that Xiao Zhi hadn't come home yet, so he decided to wait.

When he waited until after ten o'clock, he curled up on the sofa, and was so bored that he clicked and opened each app over and over again, but he still couldn't wait for Xiao Zhi.They didn't answer the phone either.

Xiao Ruo was not at home either.

Chen Bing felt something was wrong, locked the door, and went downstairs to find Wang Yueqiu.The door of her store was open, but there was no one there, only the very skinny Uncle Zeng.

Chen Bing couldn't talk to him very much, so he asked, "Is Aunt Wang there?"

The other party recognized him and responded coldly: "Not here."

"That--"

Before Chen Bing explained why he came, Uncle Zeng waved his hand: "She and Xiao Zhi have gone to the police station, you go and look for it yourself."

police station?

Chen Bing became more and more worried. After saying thank you, he stopped a car by the side of the road.

It was almost eleven o'clock at this time, the street was brightly lit, and the night wind began to seep chills. Chen Bing was only wearing a T-shirt, and felt a little cold.

When he arrived at the gate of the police station, the lights inside were brightly lit, and several figures came out slowly.

The tall boy in the middle, with his thin hands in the pockets of his school uniform, blood stained on his white clothes, bent slightly and walked towards the other side, as if he was looking for something.

Chen Bing almost stopped breathing, and shouted, "Xiao Zhi?"

The boy stopped.

Xiao Zhi turned around.He stood in the shadows, his brows and eyes were unclear against the light, and after recognizing Chen Bing, he approached: "Why are you here?"

Illuminated by the street lights, his eyebrows, eyes and facial features were sharply rendered, with a wound on his forehead, bloody scabs on the corners of his lips, and his eyes were just mad, loose and wild.

Chen Bing became nervous: "A fight? What's going on?"

"It's okay." Xiao Zhi denied it first, and then wrote lightly, "They want to take Xiao Ruo away by force, but I won't let it go, so I just got up."

Fighting?

During this period of time, Yang Wanzhou's negotiation failed, and this kind of coercive method might be the only way. Although it is not very good, it is not without precedent.

Chen Bing became anxious: "Is it serious?"

Xiao Zhi looked elsewhere, avoiding the concern in his words, "It's not serious."

"Let me see, why is it not serious? Why don't you go to the clinic now?"

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "No, I have something to do now."

"What else?"

Chen Bing raised his hand and grabbed his school uniform and walked a few steps, when another voice came from behind.

That person didn't know who it was, a shadow, and spoke to him earnestly: "Really, Xiao Zhi, I advise you to give up."

"You are not too old or young, you should be sensible. It is good for your sister to return to your mother."

"Even Xiao Ruo agreed, you—"

Xiao Zhi was originally indifferent, but when he heard the words, he suddenly turned to him and said sharply, "Get lost!"

"Xiao Ruo said that she can leave, as long as mom gives you money! Don't embarrass you anymore, Xiao Zhi, but if you are smarter, you should think about asking your mom how much you want at this time!"

"I tell you to get out!"

Xiao Zhi turned around and walked towards him. He was very tall, and his shadow dragged ferociously to the ground, like sharp claws.That man was already limping when he walked, and he was obviously from Yang Wanzhou. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back, "I didn't care about your fault in this fight, you hurt someone on purpose! You don't sound good, Xiao Zhi , you are not a child anymore, you don’t even understand such an obvious truth!”

Xiao Zhi quickened his pace, the corner of his clothes was pulled from Chen Bing's palm, and a tingling sensation appeared after rubbing.

The policeman next to him was just about to call off duty and saw that there seemed to be another fight here, and he shook his flashlight, "Hey!" "Hey! What are you doing!" shouted twice.

Chen Bing grabbed Xiao Zhi's wrist and pulled him: "Don't go!"

Xiao Zhi was breathing heavily, but when he stayed in place, his body was moving towards him at any moment. His fingers kept shaking until the group of people got into the car and covered the other two figures hiding behind the car window.

"Hold!"

Xiao Zhi suddenly remembered something and started to run wildly. With his long legs, he ran two or three steps away from the vehicle, but just when he was about to get close, the vehicle suddenly started and drove forward.

Then, a shrill cry sounded from inside the car window, and two small hands patted the window vigorously.

"Brother, brother! Brother..."

Xiao Zhi's voice was almost crushed: "Xiao... Ruo!"

The vehicle travels very fast.

Xiao Zhi ran forward along the street, halfway through the chase, the vehicle got farther and farther away, and disappeared into the night scene of feasting and feasting

Xiao Zhi's slender fingers were covered with scars, he looked into the distance, and after confirming that it was really unattainable, he raised his hand and punched the tree trunk next to him.He bit the bloody smell with his teeth: "Fuck!"

"I fuck him! I fuck!"

"Fuck! Why!"

"why!"

He was running headless like a trapped animal, exuding a violent and violent aura that was hard to get close to. The back of his hand was bleeding, and it flowed down in a winding way. It is so hard that you can hardly break your fingers.

Chen Bing: "Don't be like this..."

Xiao Zhi breathed violently, and his thin collarbone under the school uniform rose and fell accordingly, his whole body was hot, and he stared straight at the place where the vehicle was going away.

He couldn't tell whether it was unwillingness, reluctance, pain, or hatred in his eyes.

Chen Bing spoke instinctively, with cold sweat all over his back, and he spoke quickly: "Don't worry, go check the wound now, take the exam tomorrow, and pick her up after the exam."

Xiao Zhi shook his head, his brows and eyes were dyed by the light, and his tone was cold: "No..."

"Calm down! We can get her back."

"Do not……"

I don't know what Xiao Zhi is thinking.

Chen Bing looked at him, and in the vast night, he was the only one standing there desperately, not knowing what he did wrong to get it all, not knowing why he was doomed to be alone, not knowing whether it was right or wrong for him to persevere, let alone why So powerless, I can only watch important people leave again and again, trying my best to keep them.

Chen Bing had a sore throat and almost choked up: "Xiao Zhi..."

He turned around, and the shadows came into view with the lights, covering the sky and the earth.

He hugged Chen Bing forcefully, his arms almost strangling him to the bone marrow, and he buried his head heavily and forcefully in his shoulder, shouting unconsciously and confusedly: "Chen Bing..."

"exist."

"...Chen Bing." The voice was very low, almost blending into the night, stained with the mist of nothingness.

Chen Bing heard his own clear answer.

"I'm here."
