The water glass in the room seemed to shake, and was hit by the woman's sharp, weapon-like voice.Qiao Le's mind went blank for a moment, and he subconsciously raised his head to observe the other person's expression.

The distorted, top-like face could not see clearly, but it shocked his heart, and his eyes fell back to the wooden floor.

The dodging gaze, in the eyes of a woman, happens to be proof of lying.

"Why do you want to lie to mom?" The woman pressed forward step by step, the soft tissues on her face became swollen due to anger, one by one like swollen bumps, "You are still young, don't know what is the best? Mom Everything I do is to love you!"

Heavy, depressive, neurotic maternal love.

Like a poisonous mountain, it made Qiao Le's scalp tingle.

But it was more than that. Behind the woman, a tall man in work clothes came out from the shadows, put his arms around his wife's shoulders, and asked Qiao Le with the same terrifying face: "Mom and Dad are already busy at work. Be sensible and stop worrying us."

Woman: "What did you go out for today?"

Man: "Good boy, be obedient, or your mother and I will be angry."

They said in unison: "Hurry up! Speak up! Good children must listen to their parents."

Qiao Le: "..." Hastily! ! !He got goosebumps.

After two or three seconds, the boy tried his best to put on a well-behaved smile, and his eyes fell on the necks of the two without looking up: "It's a bit boring at home, I went out for a walk."

"..."

The two 'looked' at him with a silent sense of oppression.

Qiao Le widened the smile on the corners of his lips, and they nodded in satisfaction after the smiling faces froze.

The woman put her arms around the man's strong arms, and her voice became calm again: "Next time, you can't lie, you can go out for a walk, and relax."

"I still have to go to work tomorrow, Mom and Dad are going to rest." The man said, "You go to bed early, too."

Qiao Le nodded obediently and watched the two leave.

After they left, quickly close the door and lock it.Less than three seconds after he relaxed, he suddenly realized a desperate thing.

I haven't taken a shower yet! ! ! !

The bathroom is outside.

Qiao Le: "..."

System: […] Three seconds of silence.

The next day.

Qiao Le had a strange dream all night, but she couldn't remember anything after waking up.Probably because he was wary of his 'parents' in his heart, the sound of the door lock being pressed woke him up suddenly.

There was a little light from the gap in the curtains, and the scene in the room could barely be seen clearly.

The door lock made a sound of 'Gada' and 'Gada'. After trying twice, I found that it really couldn't be unscrewed. The woman made an impatient sound, and knocked on the door: "Lele, mom and dad Go out to work, don't sleep late, get up early, do you still have money to eat? Would you like some money from your mother?"

Qiao Le's heart moved: "Thank you Mom, you can put the pocket money on the table, I want to sleep for a while."

"Okay! Don't sleep too long, remember to eat breakfast."

"it is good."

The noise outside the door subsided within 5 minutes.

Qiao Le put on the slippers, ran out 'da da da', and took out the grandfather Mao who was pressed under the glass. There were three of them in total, plus the remaining 200 in his pocket, it should be enough to go to the hospital.

It's just that when we parted yesterday, the child seemed to be angry. I don't know if he will come over today?

Overthinking is useless.

Qiao Le yawned, changed into warm clothes, washed up, and went downstairs with his wallet in his pocket.It was still the morning rush hour, and when I met a few people in the corridor, they all warmly greeted Qiao Le.

Qiao Le didn't know anyone, and walked all the way, her smiling face froze.

There are more elderly people in the old community, and the neighbor relationship is relatively close, without the indifference of big cities.Some people in the community building opened a canteen, and some opened a breakfast shop.

Qiao Le picked a restaurant at random: "Boss, bring me a bowl of wontons."

"Well, do you want to eat green onions?" The boss raised his head after he finished speaking, his body froze, and he seemed unhappy, "It turns out that you are from the Qiao family. Loitering in the community, the impact is not good."

Qiao Le felt targeted: "It's just a temporary suspension from school."

"You don't do anything serious every day, and you should help the neighbors." The boss complained, "My Ah Cheng was beaten last night, so you just look on coldly."

Following what the boss said, a chubby man appeared on his body, his arms were bruised and purple, and his face was invisible, but it shouldn't be much better. He just happened to be one of the bullies yesterday.

"???"

Joe laughed angrily.

It's really cheeky for a bully to pretend to be innocent and go home and complain.

The boss is still babbling, pointing fingers and scolding Huai.Qiao Le rolled her eyes: "Boss, that's not right. It's okay for neighbors to help each other, but if the neighbor's child commits a crime and I help, then it's not an accomplice. That's not okay."

"What do you mean? Our family, Ah Cheng, has always been a good boy. He listened to his parents, took the No.1 exam every year, and won the three-good student award." The boss pointed to the certificate on the wall, "Look for yourself."

"I saw with my own eyes that he and two children beat another child together. The other child was beaten by the three of them and his whole body was injured. He fought back when he couldn't bear it."

"You're talking nonsense."

Little Fatty also followed suit: "Father, I didn't hit anyone."

"Father believes in you." The man reassured him, and continued to say, "Your Qiao family will not be welcome in the shop where we got married, so get out of here."

Qiao Le doesn't want to eat here.

After saying "I'm a liar", I decided to choose another breakfast restaurant. This time I didn't make any trouble and had breakfast smoothly.

He waited at the breakfast shop for an hour, but no one came.

The boss looked at him frequently, Qiao Le was embarrassed, went out and stood under the tree they parted from last night, and continued to wait!There were no chairs here, and the steps seemed dirty to him.

After standing for more than two hours, my feet were sore.

Seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock, and the child hadn't come yet, Qiao Le suspected that he had been let go.He gritted his teeth, and basked in the growing sun, intending to wait another half an hour.

If the other party hasn't come in half an hour...

He went to the breakfast shop for lunch and waited.

That's right, that's how it persists.

The sun in autumn is not weaker than that in summer, especially today when the weather is good, like a big furnace, the boy's cheeks are flushed, making him look cute.

There are still 6 minutes before twelve o'clock.

Although it was a curse word, because he cared about him, Qiao Le generously decided not to pursue it.

"Aren't you here?"

In a word, the blocked child was speechless.

The child is wearing long-sleeved trousers today, covering the scars, the hair is combed, and rests on the forehead softly, and the face is clean. If you ignore the pair of black eyes, it is an ordinary cute child.

As twelve o'clock approached, the traffic in the community increased.

Passers-by looked this way intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered to each other. There was a middle-aged man who bowed his head and gave his child a 'pooh'.

"..."

There was a sneer on the corner of the child's mouth, and he looked back straight.

Qiao Le felt a little scary looking directly at those eyes, let alone an 'ordinary person'. The man's liver and gallbladder were torn, he staggered, and fell firmly to the ground.

"Hahaha, trash."

"You—" The middle-aged man hurriedly got up, patted the ashes, and covered his face, "Monster, you deserve to be abandoned by your parents." After saying this, he ran away in despair.

The child's face darkened suddenly, and he stared at the man's back gloomily.

Although other people in the community didn't scold directly, their eyes, movements, and everything were full of rejection of children.

Qiao Le was depressed and unspeakably irritated. He bent down and grabbed the child's hand, and changed the subject: "You came too late, the hospital is off work now, let's go out for a stroll first, wait two Go to the hospital at one o'clock."

"..."

"By the way, have you had lunch yet?"

"..." The child didn't answer.

Qiao Le asked himself and answered: "I haven't eaten yet, so I'll buy you sunglasses first, and we'll go eat after buying the sunglasses."

The child hears an unfamiliar vocabulary: "What are sunglasses?"

"Something that can block the eyes."

"?"

Qiao Le's pocket money is not much, only more than 500 in total, and he still has to go to the hospital. If the bones are checked, he may need to take an X-ray, and the money should be saved.

The old commercial street stores are outdated, and the things are cheap.

He chose [-] black sunglasses, put them on the child's face, and pushed him in front of the mirror: "Look! This way, no one else can see it."

The tripod of the black sunglasses is plastic, and the edges are a little bit torn, which is very cheap.

But it can perfectly block the difference between children and others.

The child in the mirror, about six or seven years old, has a fair face, a thin chin, and a thin body, like an ordinary child who is picky about eating.

He unconsciously touched his face: "This is me?"

"Well, you can take it with you when you go out in the future, and no one will look at you with strange eyes." Qiao Le thought for a while, and then added, "Someone should still look at you, because you are like a person who stole your father's money." Sunglasses to pretend to be a cool rebellious kid.”

The corner of the child's lips rose, and then quickly pressed down.

"you……"

"Ok?"

"Why are you so nice to me?" The child tilted his head, his voice was weak, "Obviously we don't know each other, and I didn't treat you well, and I even yelled at you yesterday."

The world plunges into gray, and blue virtual screens pop up.

【Facing his inquiry, you choose—】

【A: I'm just bored and looking for something to do.

B: I fell in love with you at first sight.

C: Because you look so pitiful. 】

Every option doesn't look too smart.

A must be PASS, and the child will be blackened in minutes after choosing; option B is also outrageous and violates the law.Choose the taller one from the short ones, and Qiao Le chooses C.

"Because you look pitiful." As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly added, "It's not your fault that you have problems with your eyes. You can't change the appearance given by your parents, but they all bully you. It's too much."

There was no one in the store, and the wind chimes hanging at the door jingled.

The small shop suddenly became dark, and the child lowered his head: "So it is like this!" He touched his sunglasses, "My eyes are actually—"

"Forget it, nothing."

Qiao Le didn't hear the last sentence clearly, and didn't want to continue the topic: "There's a hot pot restaurant over there, do you want to eat hot pot?"
