What he sang is all fake

The old white walls are covered with crooked graffiti, drawn by children with cheap chalk.After experiencing wind and rain, those fuzzy traces were embedded in the life of the wall, layer after layer of new graffiti was covered, and finally became a messy and obscure work, half covered by the yellowing leaves of ivy.

On the other side of the wall is a three-story building, which looks like an ordinary residential building.On the second and third floors, you can see the shadow of the lamp, which is dim and not bright.If you listen carefully, you can hear the voice of the child talking, big and small, ups and downs.

Then there are insects and ants in the corner, and moths under the lamp, there is nothing worth describing.

This is Qingye Welfare Institute, which is located at the end of an ordinary street in the west of the old city.

At this time, he was standing under the street lamp and listening to the phone. Sister Jing called in the afternoon, but he turned off the phone all afternoon and couldn't find anyone.Zhou Jing, as the assistant manager who took care of most of their life's nosy affairs, was most worried about Bei He.

Bei He kept apologizing on the other end of the phone, saying that his phone was out of battery and he didn't pay attention, don't worry, he will never run around.Qi Chen leaned against the wall and looked at him. This man spoke in a coquettish tone, with the corners of his mouth raised, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The person on the other side of the phone was almost coaxed, and began to exhort him daily.Bei He listened patiently, then looked up at Qi Chen, apologetic.

Qi Chen shook his head and said it was okay.He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and there were two last cigarettes left, and he took one out and dangled it in his mouth.When touching the lighter, his eyes glanced at a section of Bei He's fair neck, he paused, and put the lighter back into his pocket.

I don’t know how some cognitions come from. For example, there must be villains in an orphanage that looks harmonious on the surface, and for example, people who rely on their faces and throats for food must not smoke or like cigarettes.

Bei He hung up the phone, and walked two steps forward side by side with Qi Chen.He quickly discovered something, and said softly, "I don't hate the smell of cigarettes, you can smoke."

In front of someone like Bei He who was too good at reading people's hearts, there was nothing to be twitchy about.Qi Chen took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, unexpectedly, Bei He said again, "Is there any more, give me one too."

Qi Chen raised his eyebrows, Bei He Qingming's eyes were behind a wisp of smoke.He took out the last cigarette in the cigarette case and handed it over, and then wanted to get the lighter, but Bei He suppressed his hand.

The wrist was gently held, Bei He raised his face with a cigarette in his mouth, Qi Chen was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head.Bei He's eyelashes drooped, forming two fan-like shadows in front of his eyes, like the wings of a butterfly, fluttering lightly twice.

The sky is not dull and dark, but that kind of deep blue feeling.As soon as the two cigarette butts touched, sparks burned from one side to the other, and the bright red point under the night turned into two points.

For some reason, Qi Chen felt that he heard a sound similar to "bang".

There was some surprise, but looking at the way Bei He skillfully held the cigarette with his thin white fingers, he felt that the sense of disobedience did not exist, instead he got a glimpse of the most authentic appearance of the person in front of him.

Casual, cold and fearless.

Qi Chen's gaze followed him involuntarily.

"When did you start smoking?"

"Sixteen or seventeen years old, I can't remember."

The two of them finished smoking in front of the iron gate of the orphanage. The tall iron gate in front of them was a bit abrupt. I don't know if it made people feel safer or more like a cage.

Bei He pressed the visitor bell, and the sound of the bell disturbed the stray cats in the yard. It was very sharp in the depths of such an alley where few people passed by.

"Who is it?"

It was the voice of a middle-aged woman. Bei He clenched his fingers in his sleeves into fists and then loosened them. He replied, "Bei He."

After a while, the door inside opened.A little girl in a nightgown trotted over, expertly pulled the locks on both sides of the iron gate, then opened the iron gate and jumped out, throwing herself into Bei He's arms.

"Brother Xiaobei!"

The girl was thin and small, she was picked up by Bei He as soon as she hugged him lightly, and tightly hugged his shoulders.

"Xiaolin, are you good?" Bei He stroked her hair affectionately, "I'm sorry, brother was busy and didn't have time to see you."

The girl nodded obediently, resting her small chin on his shoulder, looking at Qi Chen with curious eyes.Bei He patted her on the back and said, "This is brother's friend, just call him brother too."

Bei He didn't introduce any more, and Qi Chen was not very good at interacting with children, so he could only smile at her with the corners of his mouth raised.

Xiaolin immediately covered her head in Beihe's arms shyly.

"God," Bei He laughed, "Why are you hiding, isn't this brother handsome?"

Qi Chen watched the interaction between the two, and looked at Bei He thoughtfully.

The smile is real, the tenderness is real, but the hesitation and inadvertently revealed disgust many times before are also real.

The two adults and one child walked into the building through the iron gate, and Bei He asked softly, "The message I sent to my brother in the afternoon was sent by the dean's mother-in-law, right?"

Xiaolin raised her face and nodded.

Bei He stopped talking.

The design is similar to that of a teaching building. The rooms are separated from each other and the whole is coherent. The children's classrooms, activity rooms, cafeteria, and staff offices are all on the first floor, and then the children's rooms are on the second floor, and the third floor is the Staff rooms and the dean's office.When Bei He carried Xiao Lin to the lobby on the first floor, he hugged a few more children, who seemed to be in their teens.

Qi Chen has always kept a respectful distance from the little guy who is too noisy, but these children are different from the children on the street led by their parents.When they see the brother they like, they will make a fuss for a while, showing joyful expressions, but this is short-lived, and soon they calm down, looking at Beihe eagerly, with yearning and timidity in every eye movement. meaning.

"We, Xiaobei, are returning to Yidu." Two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, walked down the stairs and smiled kindly at him. "You didn't answer the phone, we thought you were still busy, why did you make a trip at night."

"Principal Dai, Uncle Tian." Bei He called twice, which was regarded as a greeting.

The woman quickly turned her eyes to Qi Chen who was silently standing next to Bei He, "Hey, is Xiao Bei's friend? He's a handsome guy again." She licked her curly hair and smiled at Qi Chen, "Your surname ah?"

"Waiting for your surname..."

Before the word Qi was pronounced, Bei He tugged at the hem of his clothes from behind and interrupted at the same time, "He is my colleague."

He turned to the man called Uncle Tian again, "It's getting late, Uncle Tian will take the children to rest, I'll talk to the dean."

The man still had that kind smile on his face, and he maintained this expression all the time, as if this kind of politeness had been embedded into his shell and became a part of his body.He greeted the children to go upstairs, Xiaolin looked back at Beihe reluctantly, and finally left obediently.

The last bit of the children's aura disappeared, and Qi Chen finally realized that something was wrong with this place.Perhaps it was because he had been in contact with Bei He for a while, and stood here with him. At this moment, he looked around again, and what he saw were the fallen wall paint, the large shadows in front of the bushes, and the woman's scrutinizing eyes. And the movement of constantly stroking the tail of hair.

It is depressing.There is very little light here, and the street lamps are far away. There is only an old incandescent lamp hanging above the stairs.The voices of the children came from the second floor, and they seemed to be far away.The woman was still smiling, but Qi Chen was already wondering what she was planning.

Bei He's next sentence startled Qi Chen.

"Just transfer the money directly, how much is missing."

Without any polite greetings, even a polite person like Bei He would not even act.Qi Chen was astonished by the straightforwardness of the opening and what it represented behind it.

He frowned and watched Bei He take out his mobile phone, while the woman was still talking cheerfully.

"It's getting cold, and the children have to buy new clothes. Look, Xiaolin has really grown a lot this year, and you too..."

"How much?"

Bei He asked again.

The tone of his words was calmer than he thought, whether he was angry or disgusted, there was no more tiredness from the inside out.

The woman smiled, "That's one hundred thousand."

Bei He pointed to the screen and transferred the money.

Qi Chen couldn't stand it anymore.He didn't know the cause and effect, and he didn't know any connection between Beihe and these people here. He only knew that his role in coming here was just to accompany them silently.

But he was displeased, even a little angry.

"Beihe."

He called his name softly, but before he could say anything, Uncle Tian came down from upstairs.

The woman took his arm, and it seemed that the two were indeed husband and wife.She couldn't help praising, "Xiaobei sent me another red envelope just now, and we'll go buy new clothes for the children tomorrow."

The man also laughed, "Xiaobei, you really are promising. It's different to become a big star. Someday I will definitely write something nice for you online."

The two sang and praised happily, and the woman said again, "He has so many fans, how could he get you to praise him?"

She reached out to pat his shoulder, Bei He stood there without saying a word, with the corners of his mouth raised stiffly.

When the hand was about to fall, Bei He was pulled back violently, almost losing his footing.

It was Qi Chen, he pulled his arm, so he leaned against him.

"Beihe still has work tonight," Qi Chen said in a deep voice, "Let's go first."

The woman's smile obviously froze for a moment.Qi Chen didn't know how to be tactful, his movements were too obvious, and he didn't hide his disgust, not to mention the iceberg face that he had cultivated for more than 20 years. His aura was there, blocking everything she wanted to say.

"Then go back quickly and be careful." The man waved his hands with a smile, "Come and play when you have time."

The moment he walked out of the iron gate, Bei He let out a long breath.The breath was trembling, so it made a sound.

Qi Chen didn't know what to say, so it was Bei He who spoke first.

"Thank you," he said.The brim of the hat was pulled down so that he couldn't see his expression. He took two quick steps and said again, "I'm laughing."

The little animal that seemed to be approaching you intimately shrank back, hiding its soft belly and exposing the thorns on its back.Even if he just stopped acting and just showed you his real appearance on special occasions, Qi Chen's subconscious reaction was to drag him back, back to the distance they were already close to.

He did it while thinking about it.

Qi Chen was really not good at this kind of thing, he grabbed Bei He's arm, Bei He was stunned for a moment, looking at him with surprised and questioning eyes.But he didn't know exactly what to do.

Then run.

To escape from here. The 15-year-old Bei He also thought the same way.When he turned over the iron gate, he was alone, and it was also such a silent night, and he ran forward blindly.But now someone grabbed his arm, without saying anything, pulled him to run, the wind lifted the ends of their hair, and a corner of the dead leaf was crushed by the feet.The alley with no end in sight in my memory suddenly came to an end, the street lights were on at night, the cars on the main road roared past, passers-by in twos and threes glanced at them, and then walked in the established direction.

what.

Bei He laughed.

He took off his hat and stroked his forehead hair, looking at Qi Chen with sparkling eyes.I don't know if it was the light that fell into the moon, or something else.

The two people in the taxi back home did not speak, Bei He shrank in the shadow of the back row, and when the car drove to the gate of the community, he had already recovered as usual.

Naturally, Qi Chen didn't say much, but Bei He came over and joked with a smile, "Oh, you were so handsome when you pulled me just now, hehe, that bitch looks so deflated."

He said the word "slut" very naturally, Qi Chen raised his eyebrows.Today I refreshed my impression of this big star again. He smokes and curses, but...it's pretty good.

He doesn't know how to analyze the word "good".

The two walked into the stair hole, Qi Chen asked abruptly, "She said again."

"Ok?"

"Another handsome guy. Who else accompanied you before?"

Bei He was taken aback.

It's Zhou Nanyu.

He moved his lips, not pronouncing the name.He was just about to bring up this topic as a joke, but he found that Qi Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked forward motionlessly.

A figure rushed over.

"elder brother!!!"

The girl's brown coat raised a corner with her movements.

"Shocked or not, surprised or not!" Qi Mei held his face and looked carefully, "I didn't dare to tell mom when you said you were sick last night, what's the matter with you, are you better now?"

"I just called you and didn't answer for a long time. Did you mute again? I'm waiting for you..."

The ending of your word disappeared, Qi Mei half opened her mouth, her eyes fell on Bei He's face, and she lost the ability to make a sound.

Bei He blinked slowly at her, and after two or three seconds he smiled and nodded.

"Are you surprised, are you surprised?"
