pretend to be poor

After coming home and tossing for so long, it was almost four o'clock in the morning when Tong Huai was able to lie down and sleep.

His eyelids were sore, they were tightly stuck together, and he couldn't open them no matter what, he could still mutter weakly, "The bed is not soft enough".

He was still talking one second, and fell asleep the next.

Xue Ting shook his head, and leaned over to move Tong Huai who was lying on the bedside.

The sleeping child is very obedient, let it be manipulated, limp and boneless, wrinkled eyebrows and nose when the movement is heavy, more delicate than when awake.

Xue Ting covered him with a quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and stared at him for a while with lowered eyelids.

The little curly hair that occupies the magpie's nest is sprawled, and the sleeping appearance is hard to describe, but the sleeping appearance is the same as his face, natural and harmless, and defenseless.

Xue Ting's mind suddenly flashed his narrow waist, the butterfly bone that protruded when slightly tensed, and the hollow waist under the loose trouser waist.

Tong Huai is a beautiful boy.

Everywhere is beautiful.

But he is indeed a boy, his facial features are a little sharper than girls', his Adam's apple is beginning to appear, and his chest is flat.

...so what is he concerned about?

The other party is a boy.

Xue Ting closed his eyes, frowned and let out a breath slowly, feeling that he seemed abnormal.

He got up and turned off the lights in the room, but he didn't go to bed. He sat softly at the desk, turned on the lamp, and adjusted the brightness.

The night was very thick and deep, and the quiet suburbs near the city seemed to have been emptied of all sounds, and everything was silent.

Any sound that appeared in such a night would be like thunder and rolling.

Xue Ting slowly took out the competition book, fearing that the writing sound would be too loud, so he just watched it silently and calculated the steps to solve the problem in his heart. When he had to, he took out the ballpoint pen and scribbled on the draft paper.

The smooth nib glides across the paper with barely audible sound.

The faint morning light gradually appeared outside the window.

Tong Huai's tightly knit brows stretched out, his breathing was shallow, and he slept unconsciously.

When he encountered unlucky things, he would always go through all kinds of strange things in his dreams again, tossing himself until he became mentally weak.

For example, when he was slandered by Chen Wu, he dreamed that his father didn't want him anymore, and when he was robbed by gangsters, he dreamed that he was stabbed again, and he was lying on a bed of nails again.

He slept very well that night.

It was as if some patron saint drove away the nightmare that should have come.

It was past eleven o'clock when I woke up.

Tong Huai opened his eyes in a daze, forgot where he was for a moment, and habitually wanted to rub against the bed, when his right leg moved, he felt a sharp pain from his calf to his ankle.

He was stunned by the pain, he lowered his head in a daze, staring at his tightly wrapped calf, the memory of last night slowly came back to his mind, he brushed his messy hair, and muttered and cursed in a low voice.

There was no one in the room, and there was a clean and brand new T-shirt and trousers next to the pillow, which seemed smaller than his pajamas set.

Tong Huai sat up carefully, then slowly changed into Xue Ting's clothes, and found that they were just right.

Her ankles hurt even when she moved her calves, and her phone was out of battery. Tong Huai sat beside the bed anxiously, calling for Xue Ting in her heart.

As if hearing his voice, the door was pushed open with a click, and Xue Ting walked in with a pair of new slippers.

Tong Huai was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, so he quickly opened his arms and called weakly, "Brother Xue, I can't walk."

Xue Ting: "..."

Xue Ting put down his slippers, and hugged Tong Huai like last night.

Tong Huai couldn't get used to it all over, feeling so unmanly, but he didn't dare to resist in the face of the opponent, so he discussed aggrievedly: "Can you stop hugging like this?"

"Yes," Xue Ting said coolly, "Don't wear it on your waist or walk by yourself, choose one."

Tong Huai: "Thank you, you are full of manliness by holding me like this."

After speaking, he reached out and hugged Xue Ting's neck to death, fearing that he would get impatient for a second and really throw him down and walk away by himself.

The smile in Xue Ting's eyes was fleeting, and he carried Tong Huai into the bathroom.

Then he idly folded his hands, leaning against the door, watching Tong Huai struggling to support the wall and slowly moving to the toilet, pursing his lips and glaring over, his eyes were watery, and the roots of his ears were red.

He finally couldn't hold it back, tilted his head and laughed, waved his hands lazily, stopped bullying, closed the door and left.

After Tong Huai finished washing, Xue Ting, who was waiting patiently outside, carried him downstairs again.

Mr. Xue's legs have old problems, and the bones of the elderly are also fragile, and the recovery is slow. Up to now, his legs and feet are still weak. He walked in tremblingly from outside the house with a watering can, and saw Tong Huai being moved down by Xue Ting. Hastily put down the things in his hand and stepped forward.

For a moment, the two wounded people saw sympathy and love for each other from each other's eyes, and cherished each other.

Mr. Xue sat on the sofa, patted beside him, and signaled Xue Ting to put him here.

Xue Ting put Tong Huai down, half-closed his eyes, and stared at the two worried wounded: "Don't carry him around."

Tong Huai and Mr. Xue clicked their tongues at the same time.

Mr. Xue has heard Xue Ting talk about what happened last night. He put on reading glasses and looked at Tong Huai worriedly: "Little Tong, is there any discomfort? Does it hurt?"

Tong Huai was more squeamish when he was a child, and he never stopped with minor injuries and illnesses. He racked his brains to get Tong Jingyuan's attention. It would be best if he immediately put down his work and came to accompany him.

When he was fifteen or sixteen, he didn't like to let Tong Jingyuan delay his work because of him. He nagged and complained a lot, but kept his injuries and illnesses hidden.

As long as there is no major problem, there is no need to tell Tong Jingyuan.

Because of his fussy temper when he was a child, Tong Jingyuan always felt that his son would definitely tell him what was wrong with him, and if he didn't say anything, it was fine, so he was very relieved.

So when he heard Mr. Xue's question, Tong Huai habitually kept his elders from worrying, and bent his eyes with a smile: "I just hurt my calf, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all, don't worry."

"Nonsense, there is no one who doesn't hurt after being injured."

Mr. Xue didn't buy it, he made a smug face on purpose, and gently pulled Tong Huai's hand with his skinny palm. Seeing that his hand was also scratched, he sighed: "Don't hold yourself back in front of grandpa, you kid."

Tong Huai blinked slowly, feeling that his eye sockets were a little hot.

Mr. Xue is full of love and kindness, but it is a pity that he can't use it for his grandson in the refrigerator. Looking at the obedient child in front of him, the more he looks at the child, the more he likes it, the more he looks at it, the more he loves him, and then he thinks about his grandson's behavior. After pondering for a while, he suddenly said: "Little Tong, there is no one in your family, and you can't take care of yourself even if your leg is hurt, or... live here recently?"

"Huh?" Tong Huai was stunned.

He was still thinking about going to Yu Wen's house recently, and how he should explain to Xue Ting after going to Yu Wen's house.

The old man opened his mouth, and his determination was firm: "It's good to have someone to take care of you here, huh? Ting Ting doesn't like to talk, and it's as if there is no one in the family. If you have more, you can make more voices."

After the shock, Tong Huai's first reaction was to refuse, but facing the old man's sincere expression, he didn't know how to refuse.

And Xue Ting will agree?

He was organizing the words of tactful refusal in his mind, when he suddenly heard a clear voice from not far away: "Not one more than you."

Tong Huai raised his eyes and met Xue Ting's sight.

Xue Ting, who was standing by the kitchen door, looked as usual, his eyes were deep and calm, and he couldn't see any extra emotions. He just stared at him quietly, as if he would not look away until he waited for his response.

Although he didn't say anything else, Tong Huai just felt that Xue Ting wanted him to stay.

When he reached his mouth, he turned a corner, and his lips moved: "Then... Excuse me."

The old man grinned, Xue Ting said "um" flatly, and went back to the kitchen to continue working.

Tong Huai opened his mouth in the water splashed out of what he said, almost suspecting that Xue Ting is a charming monster.

Otherwise, the two looked at each other, and he agreed without thinking.

It didn't take too long, the two of them waited until today's lunch for free.Xue Ting put the dish on the table, wiped his hands with the apron, took off the apron, and lifted the bag of cat food from the corner: "You eat first."

Tong Huai remembered that the three kittens were raised by him, so he quickly raised his hand: "I want to go too."

Xue Ting groaned, glanced at him, and still half-supported and half-carried him into a small empty room next door.

All the sundries in the house have been cleared, and there is an exquisite handmade cat litter by the wall, which looks better than the ones sold in the market, and there is a layer of soft carpet inside, which is the handwriting of Mr. Xue.

Three kittens were lying in a row by the window, basking in the sun with their bellies turned over. When they heard the movement, they ran over meowing.

Tong Huai lifted his right leg stiffly, holding Xue Ting as a crutch, and regardless of whether the kittens could understand or not, he said to them: "Xiaohua found it, and when it is better, I will bring it back to reunite with you , don't worry."

After finishing speaking, he added in a low voice: "It's time for you to cut your balls."

"..." Xue Ting looked at him, "You don't need to tell them this."

"They also have the right to know."

As he said that, Tong Huai took advantage of Xue Ting to bend down to pour the cat food, and also bent down, stroking the warm and fluffy fur of the kittens one by one.

The kittens came to the bowl of cat food and started to eat the food.

Xue Ting glanced at Tong Huai, who was rubbing this and pinching that, with a look of joy, raised his eyebrows viciously, and straightened up.

Tong Huai was caught off guard, yelled "Ah", almost fell down, reflexively hugged Xue Ting tightly, and said angrily, "You can't get up without notice."

Xue Ting hooked the corners of his lips, and wrapped his arms around his waist, ignoring his questioning, and changed the subject: "Grandpa should be in a hurry, let's go."

Tong Huai's legs were still hurting, and he didn't have much appetite, but when he was eating at someone else's house, he was embarrassed to leave too much, so he ate half a bowl of rice slowly, and finished eating after the old man went to take a nap, watching Xue Ting put away the dishes Going down, he remembered something, and his heart trembled: "Brother Xue, where is my grandma?"

Xue Ting remembered that he was half-dead and still thinking about milk last night, his face was speechless, he took the milk from the refrigerator, and handed him a box: "You like drinking milk so much?"

"I can grow taller," Tong Huai gestured towards the top of his head with a serious expression, "Look at me, am I taller than in summer vacation? I measured it the day before yesterday, and it's 1.7 meters eight!"

Rounding up, it is 1.8 meters!

The real 1.8m fell silent for a while, staring at the curly hair on the top of his head that was cheating on his height, and said perfunctorily, "It's tall."

Tong Huai was suspicious: "Why do I feel that your tone is so insincere?"

Xue Ting thought for a moment, decided to obey his heart, and happily slapped his curly hair down: "Now you are 1.7 meters six."

Tong Huai: "..."

dry.

As annoying as Tong Jingyuan.

Since he decided to stay at Xue Ting's house temporarily before regaining the ability to move freely, he had to bring some necessary things with him.

And the weather is getting cooler.

If you don't do your weekend homework, Tong Huai will be cold too.

Before going out, Xue Ting called Xu Xingzhou, explained the matter in general, and asked for tonight's evening self-study leave.

Immediately, he took out the bicycle and took Tong Huai to sit on the back seat.

Tong Huai's legs hurt, and he curled up to lean on Xue Ting, but this time he was not swung away.

Relying on peace of mind, he took out the mobile phone that he took to charge before eating, and opened WeChat directly after turning it on.

The internet speed was not very good, it was stuck for a few seconds, and the message was refreshed, and Secretary Lin replied in the morning.

- Secretary Lin: Good.

-Secretary Lin: Xiao Huai, this person has a criminal record. He has done everything from fighting, beheading, and robbery. Are you not injured? ? ?

-Secretary Lin: Wake up and tell me the truth!

Tong Huai thought for a while, poking the screen with his fingertips.

- Not curly, very straight: Uncle Lin, do you think I will get hurt? My classmate can’t stand up now. I want to vent my anger on him

- Secretary Lin: Are you really not injured?Is it the classmate from last time?

- Not curly and straight: Yes, he fights very well, he carried it up alone, luckily the police came in time

In the absence of others, Tong Huai's weaving was decent. Secretary Lin also made the same mistake as Tong Jingyuan, thinking that Tong Huai was still the kid who would cry and tell his father to go home quickly when he had a cold, so don't worry. No further investigation was conducted.

As long as he investigates further, Tong Huai's lies will be exposed.

Tong Huai stared at the screen nervously, the other party displayed "typing" for a moment, and then a sentence popped up: OK, this is easy to handle, your classmate will never meet him again for the rest of his life.By the way, what's his name?

Tong Huai knew that this was almost over, and typed: Xue Ting.

Xue Ting.

Secretary Lin thought to himself, we don't need to do anything.

He was completely relieved and replied OK.

After successfully solving Secretary Lin, Tong Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he was very lucky. Fortunately, Tong Jingyuan's business had expanded to foreign countries in recent years. He was always on business trips and was always busy. He didn't keep an eye on him here, otherwise he would definitely lose his job.

When Tong Jingyuan comes back next time, it is estimated that Linlan will be covered with snow.

Putting the phone back into his pocket, Tong Huai leaned forward, hugged Xue Ting's waist, and rested his chin on his back: "Brother Xue, let's go see Xiao Hua first?"

His voice was indistinct, sounding soft, and his chin lightly rubbed Xue Ting's back. Through the thin layer of clothing, every word he said was extremely clear to the touch.

His back was numb and itchy, Xue Ting held the bicycle with one hand, and slapped him away gently: "Don't act like a baby."

Tong Huai dodged his hand and curled his lips: "You are so fierce, does your partner know?"

Xue Ting didn't answer because he didn't have a date.

When they arrived at the veterinary hospital, Tong Huai was crookedly helped down by Xue Ting, patted Xiao Si on his mount, and said earnestly: "Tingting, you have to work hard, if you don't change Xiao Si, your partner will sit in the BMW and cry in the future." of."

Xue Ting didn't bother to talk to him when he heard the first two words, locked the bicycle, and carried him inside.

Xiaohua is worthy of being the king of stray cats in Wangzhen District. She has surprisingly vigorous vitality. She was still dying when she was sent last night. She had a minor operation and took medicine. She was taken care of overnight. Today she regained some vitality. They all have the faces of uncles who are not easy to provoke.

Its left eye was almost blind, but fortunately Tong Huai went there in time.

Now that pair of beautiful emerald green vertical pupils can be half-opened, reflecting the shadows of the two people who came to see it intact.

The three-flowered cat, which always frowned at everyone, let go of its defenses, blinked weakly, and let out a soft cry.

Tong Huai looked at the uncharacteristic kitten, eager to move: "Xue Ting, you said that if I touch it now, will it still have the strength to catch me?"

What's wrong.Xue Tingkun him: "Don't act dead."

"No," Tong Huai said sternly, "I just like the way I touch it and it can't resist."

Xue Ting: "..."

Then I also like the way you can't resist when I touch you.

Tong Huai had known Xiaohua for several months, and finally he had the courage to extend his sinful hand.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hua, who once had a face full of "If you dare to touch me, you will die", did not resist.

It seemed to know that the young man in front of him was injured in order to save it, so he lowered his head obediently, and gently arched Gong Tong Huai's fingers with his furry head.

Tong Huai was taken aback for a moment, and the next moment, a bright smile burst out from his eyes and spread to the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head in surprise and called, "Xue Ting, look!"

Xue Ting glanced at the corners of his smiling eyebrows.

Because it was a smile that rose from the bottom of the heart to the bottom of the eyes, and then spread to the bend of the lips, Tong Huai's smile was not mixed with any hypocrisy, impurities or haze.

Like a firework suddenly rising into the sky in the boundless darkness.

is sparkling.

He didn't look at Xiaohua, his eyes fell straight on Tong Huai's face, and the hand beside him clenched and then loosened.

After being quiet for a while, he hummed: "I see."
