What he sang is all fake

Chapter 48 Family

Six-dimensional space theory: There are no more than six people between you and anyone in the world, that is to say, you can meet any stranger through at most five intermediaries.

— so whoever is next in front of you, don't be too surprised.

Those strangers who have stepped out of the movie screen and lived in worlds you have never touched and unimagined, those strangers who seem far away, benign or evil, he is here.

The world is small.

"Dad, Mom. Here they come."

Qi Mei opened the door and walked to the living room, walking to her mother a little uneasy.For this happy event that other elders have been looking forward to for a long time, her complexion is not very good.Fortunately, Qi's mother noticed this, she held her daughter's hand in doubt and sighed, "What's the matter, you child?"

Qi Mei was stunned for two seconds, then clenched her fingertips tightly.She spoke quickly but sincerely asked: "Mom, promise me one thing, no matter who Brother Ma brings back, don't embarrass him in person."

It is very strange to listen to this alone.Qi's mother froze for a moment, seeing that Qi Mei's eyes were full of worry, she was not joking.

Ding-dong-

Doorbell rang.

Qi Mei eagerly squeezed her hand and said seriously, "Please."

Qi's father had a panoramic view of Qi Mei's face, he didn't say anything, wiped his hands and got up to open the door.His son, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, stood outside the door with a suitcase in his hand.He was still wearing a dark overcoat, with a cold expression, a tall and straight figure, indifferent but not cold, just like when he left home a year ago.

And the person standing beside him... should still be described as a "boy".He has that kind of deceptive face, with fair skin, a little freckles on the cheeks, prominent double eyelids, and the tails of the eyes are slightly raised.With bright and beautiful eyes and a simple face, it blurs the age, and it is very easy to win people's favor and soft-heartedness.At this moment, the uneasiness and bewilderment on Qi Mei's face also appeared on his face, and his timidity made him slightly lower his head and lower his eyes, but the next second he tried to raise his eyes again, and spoke frankly and frankly. Eye to eye with him.

It was as if he had prepared himself mentally in an instant: since the door had been opened to him, he would accept it no matter whether it was welcome, congratulations, doubts or accusations.

"Dad." Qi Chen called out.

"...Hello, Uncle." The boy also shouted.

His voice is also clear and pleasant, and this voice evokes certain details in the memory, and even his appearance has become familiar.

Father Qi paused and nodded towards them.

"It's cold outside, come in."

It should be thanks to Qi Mei's blurted request at the last second, Qi's mother has already had a psychological construction in her subconscious.Even a little bit is better than nothing.Her gaze directly passed Qi Chen and landed on her "daughter-in-law-to-be", who was not a lady or a young lady, but a handsome boy stood at the door.

And this boy looks familiar.

"Mom, this is Beihe."

Qi Chen introduced calmly, his words were as concise as ever, and he didn't care what storms these few words could stir up.Yes, she has seen them: in the middle of the posters on the wall of her daughter's room, in the programs of the TV entertainment channel, and on the billboards in the streets and alleys.He was someone she had "knowed" for a long time, but never expected to meet in this way.

Qi's mother was completely stunned, and even forgot to respond to the "Hello, Auntie".For a few seconds, the space is frozen, but don't underestimate people's ability to adapt - no matter how embarrassing, shocking, or ridiculous the situation, people can act out it.

Qi Mei held her fingers without holding back her strength, which made her a little hurt.Mother Qi pulled her hand away and patted her reassuringly, then stood up and smiled at the guest.

"Beihe? Hey, I never thought Xiaochen was referring to you when he said he was bringing friends home. No wonder Xiaomei is so nervous... Wash your hands and sit down, the food is cold."

Bei He returned a sweet smile, "Okay."

Qi's mother went to the dining table and pulled out the chair for him, and signaled with her eyes that Qi Mei, who was standing blankly, would also come over and sit down.Qi Chen carried the suitcase to the room, and lightly hugged Bei He's waist.

"This way."

The door was ajar, and Bei He followed Qi Chen into the room he hadn't been in for a long time. He could still clearly feel that the room was full of Qi Chen's aura, which made him slightly relieved.Qi Chen's room had a small bathroom. He took off his heavy coat, went in and washed his hands. The cold water covered the sweat on his palms.

Passed the first level?Although there will be two, three, four, five, six levels in the future, at least they will make trouble if they don't come up.Looking at his own face in the mirror, Bei He tried hard to put on a cute expression, but that smile soon turned into self-mockery.

——Fortunately, I am Bei He?

AB5's Beihe is well-known as a fresh meat, no matter how unacceptable it is, people will give him some face on the stage.He has seen this kind too much, the kind greetings from competitors, even the hypocritical flattery of haters, the hostility manifested in good intentions is more disgusting than pure hostility.So he also acted with them, and he can perfectly joke with the losers who are vying for resource awards, and the nobles who obviously look down on traffic idols but come to chat and joke with them, tact should be a must in the adult world rules of the game.

But they, Qi's father and Qi's mother, are different.They feel like... like this old house.They have endured the ups and downs brought about by a long time, ordinary and great, although the walls attached to the ivy have become gray, but they still exist here steadily, the skeleton supporting the weight of life is not loose, they are still giving people a home.

Beautiful day.How can the elders who taught such two children be so mean?

There was a low-volume conversation in the living room, and it stopped abruptly when Bei He followed Qi Chen and walked out the door.The only thing that greeted him was the air heated by the radiators, the sunlight that fell on the balcony in the afternoon, and the tempting aroma from a table of sumptuous meals.The furniture in the whole house is made of red walnut, and there is a pot of Penglai pine where the reddish-brown leather sofa is connected to the balcony.When I got closer and saw the seal and signature clearly, I knew it was the handwriting of Father Qi himself.

Bei He quickly looked around for a week, then carefully turned his gaze to the two elders.Qi's mother and Qi's father were wearing cotton home clothes, their hair was neatly arranged, and they looked healthy and energetic.Qi Mei's shadow can be seen between the eyebrows and eyes of the two of them, they all have regular facial features, kind and kind faces.

"Xiaobei... Hey, can I call you that? Is there any taboo?"

Obviously her expression was still a little stiff, but the hospitable part of Qi's mother's character took the lead for the time being.It's true that you don't dare to touch the faces of celebrities, it's true that you can't let everyone down in the world, but the respect and kindness in that instinctive reaction are also true.

Even if it is difficult to accept, even if it is full of doubts, this kind of people who greet people with smiles cannot be called hypocrisy.Such is life.

It should be like this, so he clearly knew that he was not at fault, it was just that people of the same gender fell in love, and they were not at fault... But Bei He was almost overwhelmed by guilt.

But what else can they do, they will always come to this level.

"...There is no taboo, just call me Xiaobei."

The whole family sat at the table, Qi's mother served two bowls of hot soup for Qi Chen and Bei He.Bei He was already reserved, but now he seemed a little flattered.He is a person who takes turns at his teammates' house to celebrate the New Year. He has met so many elders, and all the tricks he summed up to make parents happy are invalid at this moment. He almost forgot how to make others like him quickly, even if That's one of the things he does best.

Now he is a simple, frightened, ashamed child.

As a member of the same panic, Qi Mei naturally didn't speak, but Qi's father was as calm as a mountain, watching Qi Chen also stand up and serve the other three of them with soup.Half a bowl of pork rib soup was appetizing but not full. The people at the table drank it in silence before moving their chopsticks formally.

This is the start of the second round.

At this moment, the part of making daily routines at the dinner table became a bit difficult to speak. Qi Mei hesitated for a long time, but took the lead in breaking the strange silence.She pointed to the plate of salt and pepper prawns that was far away from Qi Chen, "Brother, it's been a long time since you went home for dinner. Dad's cooking skills have improved again. You can try this, a new method he has recently figured out."

"it is good."

Bei He didn't expect Qi Chen to talk so little at home, unlike Qi Mei, he had to bite the bullet and say nothing.He was just about to cast a thankful look at Qi Mei when he was stunned by Qi Chen's next move.

Qi Chen stretched out his arms and stretched his chopsticks towards the plate of shrimps, picked up two and put them in Beihe's bowl, before taking care of himself.His actions are so natural, as if he has done it a hundred times.

"Taste." He wrote lightly.

If Qi Chen's statement was not too specific when he entered the door, then his actions now have silently stated his position.Bei He couldn't laugh or cry, everyone's eyes were on him, and the delicious food became even harder to swallow.

"delicious."

Bei He chewed in small bites, his heart was beating wildly, and his ears began to feel hot.

Qi Mei was completely convinced.Old brother Niubi, she cast a helpless and admiring look at Qi Chen, but met her mother's searching look in the middle.

——Did you already know that?

Qi Mei immediately lowered her head, took two mouthfuls of plain rice in a hurry, and said nothing more.

However, Qi Chen continued.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Beihe was only attacking the broccoli that was closest to him, so he picked up another piece of braised pig's trotter for him.Bei He's hand for moving his chopsticks froze to the side, looking at him as if asking for help.

"Don't you like to eat this?" Qi Chen dismissed his slightly resisting gaze.

Qi's mother was almost done observing, and the last bit of luck in her heart was snuffed out by her son's thoughtfulness for the people around her, and for a while, there were mixed feelings in her heart.She cleared her throat and pushed the bowl of braised pig's trotters closer to them.

"Our family's food is quite northern. Is Xiaobei used to it? Where are you from?"

"I'm used to it. Uncle's cooking skills are great." Bei He replied obediently after checking his household registration. "I'm from Yidu, but I've been in Weicheng for six or seven years because of work."

"You must be very busy at work, right? I think many artists fly here and there every three days, even during the Chinese New Year."

"...Well. Our group didn't take on performances during the Spring Festival this year, so it's okay. It's winter break now, and we will be busy after spring."

"Then..." Mother Qi paused and asked slowly, "Is it okay if you don't go home for the Spring Festival? Parents..."

Qi Mei gasped for breath, she forgot about it, she should have explained it quickly when people entered the room just now.Qi Chen also paused, and was about to interrupt this round, when Bei He responded flatly.

"My parents passed away, so it doesn't matter." He smiled lightly, "I used to celebrate the New Year at my teammate's house, and now I'm lucky to be sitting here. Thank you very much for the hospitality."

This was actually the most calm and least nervous sentence he answered, and Bei He even found it amazing.Not trying to gain sympathy, but to be honest, he talked about a part of his heart that hadn't seen the sun for more than ten years.It was on such a special occasion that he was able to speak frankly when asked by such a person who could not refuse.

Now, except for the small sound of the collision of bowls and chopsticks, everyone forgot their words for a while.Father Qi frowned, and sighed weakly.Qi Chen lowered his eyes, Qi Mei was a little stunned, and Qi's mother's face flashed an expression of realizing that she had said something wrong, and it seemed inappropriate to ask and comfort, so she had to quickly expose the words.

"Ah...then, since you're here, eat and sleep well, treat yourself to your own home, don't be shy."

"Thank you, Auntie." Bei He thanked with his eyes bent.

"Has the work matter you mentioned last time been settled?" Qi's father said for the first time since he came to the table, bringing the topic to Qi Chen.I can't talk about the relationship with the partner for the time being, and I don't have to worry about my studies, so the rest is nothing more than work, housing and transportation.

Qi Chen nodded, "February [-], I will start working after the Lantern Festival."

"Do you want to stay in Yidu and develop in the future, and not go back to Weicheng?"

"Do it in the Silver Tower for a few years before we talk about it."

"Alright, it's a nice place." Qi's father put two pieces of appetizers in the bowl of his daughter who had been eating plain rice, and asked Qi Chen, "Then you're going to move to the East Bank."

The premonition was too accurate, Bei He shrank his neck when he heard this.Qi Chen replied calmly, "Already moved."

"Huh? Shared rent?"

"Well, I live with Bei He."

Beihe and Qimei: ...

Boyfriend is too frank, I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.Bei He didn't dare to look up, so he could only quickly finish the rice in the bowl.I thought it would be a meal without taste, but I didn't expect it to be, his taste buds were enjoying it, it was really delicious.What is more shocking than the deliciousness is the heart, without the formulaic deliciousness in the restaurant, this table of dishes is full of home-cooked feeling, for people who basically eat takeaway for 350 days, it is too long.

Also, family.

Sitting in front of this table, Bei He was really touched by the fact that these people were interpreting the word "family" which was very unfamiliar to him all the time.He also felt this bondage at his teammates' house before, but it had nothing to do with him, he was just a smiling bystander.But now, his lover is trying to pull him into this frame, and he is really watched, pushed to the center of the eyes, surrounded by kindness and warmth, and there is a feeling that he is really close at hand.

And obviously he is still thousands of miles away.

"I'm full." Bei He dropped his chopsticks and smiled, "Auntie, please let me do the dishes."

Qi's mother's first reaction was, how can it be done, how can the guests do it.But when she got to the point of speaking, she paused again, and then said, "Xiaomei will go with you."

Qi Mei wished to leave this suffocating scene as soon as possible, and kept saying yes.But then, she realized what her mother meant, and looked at Qi Chen suddenly.

"Xiao Chen came to the study." Father Qi said in a deep voice.

Qi Chen was extremely calm, wiped his mouth and followed.

Of course, Qi's mother also wanted to join the conversation, but unexpectedly, Qi's father waved his hand and said, "I'll talk to him first." Then he shut them out and locked the door.

The man sat down on the chair, tapped the lighter, pulled the ashtray to his hand, and lit a cigarette.He looked up at his son who was standing upright at the table, and lit a cigarette case, "Do you smoke?"

Qi Chen shook his head, "Quit."

Qi's father smiled lightly, looked at him fixedly, and didn't go around the corner. "You are not timid. You bring people back without saying hello. Aren't you afraid that we will make people look ugly?"

"You won't."

Qi Chen is still so calm, but if someone, who can observe his calm from the perspective of God, will find that it is not calm, but an extremely abnormal indifference.That didn't match Qi Chen's core, which was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, the desperate indifference after extreme disappointment.

Qi Chen looked at his father, or rather, the man who had raised him for more than 20 years, there was actually not much similarity in their eyebrows and eyes.

He looked at him, and slowly pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

"—Because I'm not the son of the Qi family."
