cute and cool

"Later, guess who I waited for."

At some point, Cheng Wang tightened his grip on Qiao Beixin's waist, and clasped his face on his shoulders, hanging on him like a koala.

Qiao Beixin pressed his waist and occasionally patted his back.The consolation that came too late seemed so feeble, but besides this, Qiao Beixin didn't know what else to do.

He couldn't describe how he felt when he heard those words.

Such a sunny boy, he seems to always be smiling, no one can see him as a child who has never experienced the haze and was coddled since he was a child.

Soaked in honey to grow into such a sweet boy, who would have thought that his childhood was spent like this?

Qiao Beixin closed her eyes and whispered, "Is that your elder brother?"

"Yeah." When Cheng Jing was mentioned, Cheng Wang's tone finally became turbulent, "It was Saturday, and they only had half-day classes."

Cheng Wang rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly: "My elder brother used to laugh at me later, saying that when he came home from playing ball, he picked up a crying puppy at the door..."

The picture he said was so vivid that the crying child holding his knees seemed to be right in front of Qiao Beixin's eyes.

Obviously, the atmosphere was still sad one second, but Cheng Wang amused him the next second.

He patted Cheng Wang's back again, wanted to say something but didn't know how to start, finally he could only call out "Xiao Wang", and let go of him to look at his ear.

Finally, the earlobes were no longer red and swollen, and returned to their former whiteness.Qiao Bei suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and only touched it with his fingernails.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Cheng Wang said, pinching Qiao Beixin's earlobe with his hands, not noticing that the person sitting under his buttocks was stiff all over, "It's like a girl piercing her ears, it hurts for a while, and after two God will be fine."

After the sadness in that burst of memory, Cheng Wang realized that this posture was a bit strange.

He awkwardly sat up from Qiao Beixin, and returned to his usual carefree appearance.

He whispered: "Don't always hug me like a child."

He looked up at Qiao Beixin.

Obviously he was the one who told the tragic past, but now it seems that Qiao Beixin is more sad than him.

He patted Qiao Beixin on the shoulder and comforted him, "My elder brother treats me very well."

He didn't know what he was thinking, but there was a hint of disappointment on his face, and he quickly regained his composure.

The atmosphere was too depressing, Cheng Wang couldn't stand it, he changed the subject on his own initiative: "Xiao Qiao, my birthday is coming soon, my elder brother said this time it should be more formal."

He squeezed his small fist and lightly hit Qiao Beixin on the shoulder, "Come and play then!"

Qiao Beixin relaxed slightly, and asked, "Okay. What gift do you want?"

Cheng Wang: "I don't have anything special in mind, I'd be happy to have a few more friends! And—"

Cheng Wang elongated his voice exaggeratedly, "What I want is not what Xiao Qiao can give."

Qiao Beixin: "Tell me what you want first, what if I can give it to you?"

Cheng Wang had a smile in his eyes, but what he said was full of sincerity: "Let me think about it. My recent wish is to practice good calligraphy before the college entrance examination. A little further away is to perform normally in the college entrance examination and be admitted to the finance department of Y University. In the long run a little……"

He put away his smile, revealing the sense of loss just now.This time, he thought for a long time.

"Actually, I don't know either. But I always feel that the life of my elder brother and I seems to be smooth, but there is always something missing." He said distressedly, "But what is missing? I can't tell."

He paused, as if trying to think of a more appropriate word.In the end, Cheng Wang just shook his head and said with a smile: "Oh! The disadvantages of poor Chinese have come to light. I can't express what I want to say. Just, I hope that my elder brother and I can do better in the future."

After a few seconds, Qiao Beixin said, "You two have such a good relationship."

Cheng Wang leaned on the desk, looked down at the person sitting next to him, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, if you were my elder brother, would you accept me so calmly? Accept one, the father is outside, and another woman illegitimate child?"

Qiao Beixin: "He is amazing and worthy of admiration."

Cheng Wang nodded heavily, "Really, I admire him so much. I think he and his mother are really great. Anyway, if I were him, I can't accept it. But Xiao Qiao, you know, Aunt Jiang— —It’s my elder brother’s mother, she never made things difficult for me, she even taught my elder brother that I am innocent because I couldn’t choose my origin at all.”

Qiao Bei listened quietly.

"But she is not the kind of person who is a special mother. She said that as long as I am not evil, then my elder brother can't blame me for the bad things my mother has done. And she is very brave, knowing that my father cheated At that time, she divorced very firmly, and I especially admire her courage."

Cheng Wang lowered his head, "Compared to her, my mother..."

He was stunned for a while, and didn't continue the topic just now, "Really, if it wasn't because she taught my elder brother so well, I really don't know what would happen now..."

Qiao Beixin said: "I don't think so. Some people have good family conditions, go to the most expensive schools, wear the best clothes and shoes, but they are still bad people in their bones. Some people live in filth, but they can get out. Silt but not stained."

Cheng Wang looked at him with a smile, and made a shy gesture to him after a while, "Little Qiao, praise yourself in a different way, do you think I can't hear it?"

Qiao Beixin stretched out his hand and poked his finger, "I say who knows."

The two touched their fingers briefly, leaving a little heat on their fingertips.

In the evening, Cheng Wang still stayed at Qiao Beixin's house, and went home after dinner.

Liang Yilan is very careful, and has already grasped Cheng Wang's taste.

Sitting at the dining table, Cheng Wang held his chin to look at Qiao Beixin, and asked puzzledly, "Haven't you gained weight after eating the meals cooked by Aunt Liang every day?"

Qiao Beixin raised his eyelids to look at him, and said indifferently, "People who run half-marathons will not gain weight."

Cheng Wang: "?"

He said in disbelief: "Little Qiao, has anyone ever said that you are really annoying sometimes."

Liang Yilan was sitting on the sidelines and watching them bickering with a smile, but somehow his face changed.She looked at the wall clock on the wall and said, "It's too late today, I still won't go out, you just put the bowls in the kitchen after eating, I'll do the cleaning later."

Cheng Wang didn't have the nerve to eat and didn't wash the dishes, so he and Qiao Beixin clumsily cleaned the dishes.

After dawdling for a while, he was ready to go back.Before leaving, he went to Liang Yilan's bedroom to say hello.

The bedroom door probably wasn't closed properly, Cheng Wang knocked lightly, and the door was pushed open a crack.

Cheng Wang was startled, and quickly apologized: "Aunt Liang, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it..."

Liang Yilan turned his back to her, holding the table with his fingers, only half of his profile could be seen from Cheng Wang's angle.

He saw Liang Yilan press the corner of his mouth with a tissue, then crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it on the table.

When he turned around again, there was another kind smiling face.

She asked: "Let's go now? Xinxin - send someone downstairs."

Qiao Beixin went to the bedroom to get Cheng Wang's things, and after hearing this, he raised his voice and said, "Got it."

When going downstairs, Qiao Beixin said: "The street lights here are dark, and the law and order are not good. I'll take you to the door, and I'll go upstairs when the car you called comes."

Cheng Wang spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, okay."

When we parted, Cheng Wang said, "Don't forget July 7! I'll send you the location then, definitely come!"

"Okay." Qiao Beixin readily agreed.

When this topic was mentioned, Cheng Wang asked a question: "Xiao Qiao, when is your birthday?"

"It's passed, in May." After saying this, Qiao Beixin suddenly showed a very out-of-character and slightly sly look, "Cheng Wang, am I older than you?"

Cheng Wang shook his finger, "Tell me what year you were born first."

Qiao Beixin talked about it for a month.

"Oh—" Cheng Wang blinked and said proudly, "I was born a year earlier than you."

Qiao Beixin: "...?"

"I didn't go to elementary school until I was eight years old. I'm older than you, little brother Qiao." Cheng Wang bit the word "brother" very hard.

Qiao Beixin looked at Cheng Wang, bowed his head and smiled after a few seconds.He shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay."

"Just 'Okay'," Cheng Wang was very dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude, "Call out brother let me listen!"

Qiao Beixin turned a deaf ear.

At this time, the car called by Cheng Wang arrived.

Cheng Wang didn't dwell on the topic just now, he opened the car door and got down.He sat in and waved to Qiao Beixin through the car window.

Qiao Beixin pressed the roof of the car, bent down and said to Cheng Wang, "Send me a message when you get home."

Cheng Wang nodded.

"……elder brother."
