a little bit

With the arrival of the head of Area D, the noisy dining area suddenly became quiet, and everyone was almost silent, even breathing cautiously.

In the center of the dining area, Ah Duan went to grab a meal. The younger brothers beside Xing Xin sat down with the boss, and also sat down one after another. The fat man on the ground did not dare to look up. Not far away, the delirious man lying on his stomach frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The voice was not loud, Qiao Qiao was sitting not too far away, but he could still hear it clearly, the voice was cool and clear, like pearls and jade falling to the ground, without a trace of procrastination, Qiao Qiao couldn't help raising his head, and Wu Gang pulled his head, Wu Gang Shaking his head at him, Qiao Qiao felt itchy, but he didn't want to die, so he lowered his head again and listened to him.

"He...he spilled vegetable soup on me."

The fat man was trembling and talking, but Xing Xin didn't say a word, and the younger brother next to him said: "This fat man is teaching people here? The newcomer was beaten to death by him."

"It's a lot of patience."

Xing Xin smiled and said four words.

The fat man shuddered. At this moment, Ah Duan ordered food. He took two dinner plates and pushed one in front of Xingxin. He took the other and sat down beside Xingxin. Ah Duan glanced at it. Eyeing the fat man on the ground, "Boss, what are you talking to him about?"

Xingxin said "hmm", he picked up the chopsticks without raising his eyes, "Then get out first."

When the fat man heard this sentence, he got up from the ground dripping with cold sweat as if he had received an amnesty.

The prison guards came over at this time and took away all the people in Area C. After the fat man and his men left, only the prisoners in Areas B and D were left. People were moved, and suddenly the whole area was so quiet that even a needle falling could be heard clearly.

When Xingxin was eating, Qiao Qiao turned his head and looked quietly, and found that his dishes were different from others’. There were fish, meat, and shrimps. The fat man in C area just now ate very well, the meat was meat, and the vegetables were The dishes and rice are crystal clear, and they are very fragrant at first glance.

Qiao Qiao swallowed his saliva, his stomach suddenly rang like thunder, and there was a very loud "goo".

Wu Gang looked at him with wide eyes, Qiao Qiao covered his stomach, opened his mouth, and said silently, "I'm so hungry."

Wu Gang suppressed a smile, Xing Xin raised his eyes to look at them, Qiao Qiao turned his back to him, and his eyes fell on Qiao Qiao's head whose hair was of a different length than others.

The black hair looks very soft, the skin on the neck is very white, the black hair shakes the neck, and the snow-white piece also shakes twice, it is white and tender like a piece of meat that invites people to bite on it, Xingxin blinked , lowered his head, took a piece of meat and bit it into his mouth.

"Boss, what are you looking at?"

Duan followed Xingxin's line of sight, frowning in confusion.

Xingxin raised his eyes and glanced at Duan. He put down his chopsticks, picked up a tissue, and tapped the corner of his mouth twice, "Let's go, we're going back."

As the group of people in District D left, the remaining group of people in District B seemed to be undone by the holding spell in an instant. The bowls and chopsticks collided, and the noisy voices began to sound again.

After they finished their meal, they returned to the room. Qiao Qiao lay on the bed gasping for breath. Wu Gang made him a bowl of instant noodles. The thin monkey walked up to Qiao Qiao with the noodles in his hands. Qiao Qiao sniffed the scent, closed his eyes, and walked slowly. Tun got up, like a walking corpse, moving with his face.

The thin monkey laughed, "Why are you so hungry?"

Qiao Qiao opened his eyes, took the chopsticks that Wu Gang handed over, scooped up the noodles with the chopsticks, took a big mouthful, and said vaguely: "I'm really going to be hungry."

Prison life seems to be the same for Qiao Qiao. The food in the prison cafeteria can be eaten after getting used to it. He eats, drinks, and sleeps. After eating, he goes to the playground for a walk and does some manual labor. Two weeks later, he looked at himself in the glasses and found that he had gained a lot of weight.

Wu Gang came over to brush his teeth, looked at Qiao Qiao pinching his face and stomach in the mirror, and said with a smile, "What are you doing?"

"Brother Ang, I feel that I have gained weight recently."

"It's okay for a man to be fatter."

Wu Gang lowered his head and brushed his teeth, but Qiao Qiao was not calm. He didn't want to disguise himself as a middle-aged woman to cheat the old man of his money after he was released from prison.

"By the way, we have a conference to be held in District B the day after tomorrow. It seems to be about the Spring Festival Gala. Each of our rooms will have a show. If you are selected by the superiors to perform on stage, you can get bonus points."

When Wu Gang said this, he was very serious. Although there was still a circle of toothpaste foam on the corner of his mouth, Qiao Qiao asked after hearing this, "Does everyone in the room want to participate?"

The thin monkey suddenly said, "It seems that there was a solo last year." He looked Qiao Qiao up and down, and said with a smile: "Boy, why don't you perform a show on behalf of our room? What do you know?"

Skinny Monkey was also talking nonsense, but Qiao Qiao answered seriously, "I can play the piano, I have learned dance for four or five years, and I can sing too."

Wu Gang opened his eyes wide. He and Shouhou looked at each other in blank dismay. The other prisoners who were sitting beside him also stood up and surrounded Qiao Qiao, "Yes, Qiao Qiao, you have good professional skills!"

Qiao Qiao smiled shyly, Wu Gang patted Qiao Qiao on the shoulder, "Let's push Qiao Qiao up for the meeting that night, you can dance and play the piano, it's much better than the one who sang free flying last time, no need Said, definitely can win the crown."

"Brother Ang, don't flatter me, I will swell."

This Spring Festival Gala is held every year. Tielanhe Prison advocates that inmates have both work and entertainment. There are ten programs in the gala, four of which are performed by prisoners, and four program representatives are selected from the ABCD area. But before that, each district has to go through a selection process, which is selected by the director of the prison from the programs reported from each room.

On the day of the meeting in District B, at three o'clock in the afternoon, after the work was over, the prisoners in District B did not rush back to their rooms, but followed the prison guards to the auditorium.

This is Qiao Qiao's first visit to this place, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, her eyes don't know where to look, Wu Gang looked at this kid like that, and said with a smile: "It's the same for the first time I come, I always feel that this place is different from the prison in my impression.”

Qiao Qiao nodded, not only is it different, it is simply a world of difference.

The auditorium was decorated just like an international conference center. It was resplendent and resplendent. The first floor was divided into three floors. The second and third floors also had special viewing platforms. The thin monkey looked at Qiao Qiao's expression and whispered to him: : "This place was built with money from Xing's family."

"Lucky family?"

"The family in District D is very rich. After he came in, the family worried that he would not live well, so they spent a lot of money. This auditorium was donated by their family."

"Can it still be like this?"

"Of course, money can make ghosts turn the mill." The thin monkey muttered a few words.

Qiao Qiao thought of the sound he heard that day, like rain, Ding Dingdongdong falling, the sound of rain was crisp and clear, knocking on the window sill, falling on the leaves, buried in the small river, it beat Qiao Qiao's heart.

That was the voice he really liked, Qiao Qiao pursed his lips, thoughtfully.

He walked forward with the large group and sat on the chair. Qiao Qiao let out a long breath. The chair was soft. It had been a long time since he sat on a soft chair. His buttocks were so comfortable. He rubbed it hard, I sigh in my heart.

At this time, a person came up on the stage, just like them, wearing a gray prison uniform. Qiao Qiao took a closer look and recognized him. He had seen him in the cafeteria last time, and that person was next to Xingxin.

Wu Gang also saw it, his eyes fell on the man, and he said softly to Qiao Qiao, "That's Duan, Xingxin's watchdog."

Wu Gang had a bad opinion of A Duan, Qiao Qiao looked at him, Wu Gang paused, and said, "Do you know the boss in District C, he died last night."

Qiao Qiao was stunned, and then asked, "How did he die? There was no movement at all?"

"I heard that he slept in the middle of the night and was smothered to death with a pillow. You don't know it's normal. This matter will soon be suppressed." Wu Gang smiled mockingly, and he said: "Xing Xin is not easy to mess with. Don't provoke him."

He could see Qiao Qiao's thoughts, Qiao Qiao was stunned, he was silent, but Wu Gang was still looking at him, so he nodded slightly, "Got it."

Wu Gang sighed, and he said: "I treat you as my little brother, I hope you get out of prison safely, and don't get involved in these messes."

Qiao Qiao lowered his head, "I know, thank you, Brother Ang."

Ah Duan came here as a guest host. When he didn't come in, he was a serious professional TV host. He did well. If he worked hard, he might be able to get the position of the first brother of Satellite TV. Unfortunately, he killed someone later.

If you take one wrong step, you will fall from the Kangzhuang Avenue to the quagmire.

A Duan first introduced the selection rules, and then reported the number. The room number he read began to perform on stage. Some of these prisoners performed duets, sketches, chorus solo... There are quite a lot of tricks, but they are all very blunt. The cross talk is not funny either, it makes people look awkward.

When it was Qiao Qiao's turn, everyone in the room stood up and gave Qiao Qiao a loving hug in turn. Lin Chiling seemed to say "Come on", and the prisoners around him were stunned.

Qiao Qiao came on stage alone, Ah Duan glanced at him twice, his eyes fell on his face, and he couldn't turn away.

He was stunned for two seconds, came back to his senses, walked to Qiao Qiao, and said softly, "What are you performing?"

Qiao Qiao thought for a while and said, "Sing a song, because of you"

After the conference was over, Qiao Qiao and the others returned to the room. Shouhou leaned on the bed and looked at Wu Gang on the opposite bed, "Say, can this program be selected?"

Wu Gang scratched his head, "I don't understand what Qiao Qiao is singing, but I think it's much better than others."

Qiao Qiao was lying on the bed next door, with his feet up on the air bike, his abdomen was tense, and the thin monkey looked at him twice, and turned his eyes away in disgust, "Stop messing with these sissy things, you are a big man who wants legs What are you going to do?"

Qiao Qiao took a breath and said nothing, Wu Gang threw the pillow at Shouhou, "Don't talk about him."

The thin monkey covered his head, snorted twice, turned his back, and ignored everyone.

The next day when the results were announced, the prison guard came to their room specially. Qiao Qiao was still kicking his legs, making the bed swaying. The thin monkey happened to be at the door. The prison guard didn't go in. When he saw the thin monkey, he called him to the window and told him A few words.

The thin monkey was stunned for a moment, and the prison guard told him: "Go and talk to Qiao Qiao, let him practice more in the next few days, tell me if there are any props you need, and we will prepare them."

The thin monkey nodded repeatedly. After the prison guards left, he rushed to Qiao Qiao and grabbed Qiao Qiao. The thin monkey said excitedly: "Dude, why are you still kicking your legs? Hurry up and practice. The program of this party is selected!" Already!"

Qiao Qiao was dragged a bit, and his head hit the bed. Tears of pain came out of him. He covered his head, and the thin monkey was startled. Qiao Qiao looked at him with tears in his eyes. Pimples got up, rubbed his arms, and said falteringly: "You...then you can kick for a while, you can practice later, don't worry."

As he said that, he slipped away. Qiao Qiao looked at the back of the thin monkey who was almost running away, put down his hand covering the back of his head, and smiled with his mouth curled up.

……

On the day of the Spring Festival, the prisoners did not have to go to work, and everyone huddled in their rooms to watch TV. Qiao Qiao went to the auditorium for rehearsal early in the morning. The heating was turned on in the auditorium. He dropped on the chair.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the prison guard came over and took the clothes he wanted. The clothes were packed in a paper bag. Qiao Qiao took them out to have a look. The prison guard stared at Qiao Qiao's face. Qiao Qiao looked away and looked at him. Immediately looking away, Qiao Qiao smiled at him, "It's pretty good, it's what I want."

The name of the prison guard is Wu Cheng. He has been in this line for a long time, but this is the first time he has seen a prisoner like Qiao Qiao. He feels that Qiao Qiao is a bit special, so his attitude towards him is different from other prisoners. Same.

Wu Cheng gave a "hmm" and asked, "How about the piano, can you play it?"

"I can play it. I'm practicing it twice. It should be fine in the evening."

"Practice hard, you'll get points for your conduct, and you might get a reduced sentence after the Chinese New Year."

Qiao Qiao smiled and said nothing, he only had six months, and this commutation of sentence must not be his turn, so I hope it will help Wu Gang.

In the evening, all the prisoners from the prison came, and the auditorium was full. Qiao Qiao changed his clothes and put on a long coat to prepare in the background. He heard Ah Duan’s voice and walked to the side to look , I saw Ah Duan speaking the opening speech with great emotion.

Qiao Qiao looked at A Duan as the host, in a daze, as if he was watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

He withdrew his gaze, looked down the stage, glanced, paused, and landed on the second row.

"Come on, let's welcome Xingxin to say something to us with warm applause."

Duan's voice was high-pitched. When Qiao Qiao heard this sentence, he turned his eyes and landed on the stage, and then saw the man in the second row, who Qiao Qiao had been watching for a long time, slowly stood up and faced the stage. go.

Qiao Qiao's Adam's apple fluttered, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. At this moment, almost all the light from the stage was focused on Xingxin. His eyebrows and eyes were like falling flowers under the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River in March, unique and elegant, not stained with the world.

He picked up the microphone and held it with his fingers. The floating tendons on the back of his hand were clear. Qiao Qiao squinted his eyes and stared at the curvature of his fingers. He licked his lips. The fingers should be comfortable to hold.

Xingxin started to speak, his voice was cold, almost more freezing than the westerly wind in the twelfth lunar month, Qiao Qiao immediately came back to his senses, his eyes moved away from the finger, and stuck to Xingxin's face.

Xing Xin lowered his eyebrows, his eyelashes were very long, and when he lowered his eyes, there was a hint of alienation, the bridge of his nose was straight, his lips were lightly parted, his face was expressionless, every move, every glance was very light, but people couldn't look away .

After Xingxin finished speaking and stepped off the stage, Qiao Qiao took a deep breath. He felt that he was... possessed.
