song for the city

Chapter 12 Dear Papa

The sound of the whistle finally reached the door, causing panic inside.The dense footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in the bar became more tense every second of time.Huang Mao and the others didn't know that the bar had a back door, so they could only stand stupidly waiting to die, secretly cursing which grandson called the police.

Xin Yu turned to Liang Zhang and grabbed his arm: "Liang Zhang, hurry up."

But Liang Zhang still stood there, hesitant to take a step, his eyes lingering on Xiang Pei.

The bright red blood slid down Xiang Pei's face, passed under his chin, and dripped on the ground.Liang Zhang's hands were shaking badly, his body was numb, and he wanted to bite off the neck of the man holding the wine bottle with his teeth.

His eyes were scarlet with hatred, and he was close to losing control.Xiang Pei touched the back of Liang Zhang's hand very lightly, as if rubbing it.

"Liang Zhang, you go first."

There are only two options before Liang Zhang: one is to escape through the back door, the other is to be taken away by the police and sent home.

He hates choices, especially in critical situations.

I don't want to escape alone like this, it's too spineless.But I don't want to lose sight of Xiang Pei in the future, it's more worrying than being spineless.

Moreover, during this period of time, he has also developed feelings for "Every Night". Chen Zhaonan and You Jing both take care of him like brothers, and he can't bear to part with any of them.

Xin Yu saw that Liang Zhang was indifferent, but the police were almost at the door, and the sound of the siren was more like a reminder.Her tone hastened: "Liang Zhang!"

Pushing Liang Zhang to Pei: "If you want to be sent home, stay here."

Liang Zhang walked a few steps forward and then stopped, his eyelids twitched wildly, and he was almost out of breath.

He said to Pei Xiang, "then you come with me."

Xiang Pei wiped the blood off his chin, and replied, "I'm fine, you go back and wait for me."

Going out from the back door of the bar is an empty alley, narrow enough for two skinny people to pass through at the same time, the surface of the brick wall is gray and uneven, there are three steps down the door, and there is a large trash can on the left and right. Garbage produced by the loaded bar every night.

There was no one in the alley, but a stray cat slipped by, which startled Xin Yu. Her nerves, which had finally been relaxed, tensed up again, and she patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death, I thought someone was coming."

Liang Zhang stood in the alley with his back against the wall, and heard the voice of the policeman saying "don't move" from inside. Those majestic voices were particularly harsh, like animal claws scratching hard at him.The scene that Xiang Pei blocked in front of him kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't get it out no matter what.

"Will Xiang Pei really be all right?" he asked.

Xin Yu fell silent, and leaned against the wall, standing face to face with Liang Zhang, looking up at the hazy moon in the sky.

"I don't know." Her sneakers stepped on the steps, scraping off a large lump of mud from the soles of her shoes, "Chen Zhaonan's parents can get him out with a little money, and at least Chu Ranfei has his parents to pick him up. ..but Xiang Pei, he has no one."

The police station is not a hospitable place, and it is possible for Xiang Pei to stay there for a whole night.Xin Yu is also very irritable, and thinking of Xiang Pei's character of wanting to carry everything by herself, she is extremely worried.

Liang Zhang felt a dull pain in his heart, lowered his head, his lips turned white: "I should stay inside with him."

Xin Yu shook her head: "It's useless, Xiang Pei told you to go first, because I was really worried about you, definitely not just talking."

"And he told you to wait for him."

The moonlight made Liang Zhang even more anxious. He had the desire to pluck the moon off and swallow it in his mouth.

"What is your name?"

The policeman in police uniform was sitting in front of the computer, his fingers were moving rapidly on the computer keyboard, then he stopped and stared at Pei intently.There was too much disdain and regret in his eyes, and he probably thought that Xiang Pei was some kind of depraved young man who was spending his parents' money doing nothing and playing around outside day and night.

"Xiang Pei." Xiang Pei replied flatly, keeping his head buried and not looking at the police.

The wound on his head had been bandaged briefly by the police, and gauze was wrapped around his forehead, but the blood on his face hadn't been cleaned up yet, and it had turned red and black, which looked creepy.

"Hold your head up! Now you know how embarrassing you are? Why didn't you feel ashamed when you were fighting just now?"

Xiang Pei Wei raised his chin a little, looked at the policeman with dark eyes without blinking, his face was expressionless, like a broken puppet.

"Is there a hair rope?" Xiang Pei said.

"what?"

Pointing to Pei's messy and knotted long hair: "It's very blocking the line of sight."

The policeman asked the policewoman in the bureau for a hair rope and handed it to Xiang Pei.Xiang Pei quickly pulled up the front hair, revealing a few scars on the sides.

The policeman was surprised. It stands to reason that people who entered the police station, even if they were arrogant outside, would be terrified when they saw the huge words "Serve the People" behind the police station. Who didn't nod and bow to the policeman, saying "Uncle policeman, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time".

But the boy in front of him didn't show any fear, nor was he provocative. Anyway, he was indescribably calm.

The policeman asked again, "How old are you?"

"sixteen."

After hearing the age, the policeman raised his eyebrows: "You're still underage. Are you doing your parents a favor by fooling around like this? If you don't learn well at a young age, you will learn to hang out in bars every night."

Xiang Pei said: "I sing and work in a bar, and my parents don't care about me."

The policeman moved his hand away from the keyboard and asked curiously, "What do you mean I don't care about you?"

"It's the kind that doesn't care if I live or die."

The policeman was stunned, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "That's not the reason for you to fight."

After being taught a lesson on the surface, he began to feel emotional in his heart—as expected, most of the teenagers' missteps were due to their unhappy families.

"I didn't want to fight, they were the ones who started it first."

"You have to fight back when they fight? Do you know that if you win the fight, you will go to jail, and if you lose the fight, you will be hospitalized? You young people always feel that you will lose face if you don't fight back. When you reach my age, you will know that fighting Little things, it’s only when you struggle in society that you cry a little bit. Life throws a punch at you, but you’re still not able to fight back. Let’s see if you lose face at that time..."

Over there he was still babbling about education, but here Xiang Pei's thoughts drifted to the sky.He thought about how many times Liang Zhang had received punches on his face, some of which were blocked by him, and he was about to die... It's really a pity for such a handsome face, I don't know if there will be scars.

In the past, he always thought that Liang Zhang was an obedient boy in front of the desk, but he didn't expect to fight with his fists today.

Sure enough, the police mainly focus on education, supplemented by punishment, especially when dealing with young people.

The policeman said a lot of earnest words, which were more earnest than Xiang Pei's former head teacher.

When the policeman's saliva was almost dry, he finally stopped and asked, "Come and tell me how this happened tonight?"

"Because of a misunderstanding, they called someone to beat my friend. I couldn't stand it, so I went to help my friend."

"Then who do you think is mainly responsible on your side?"

Xiang Pei said without pause, "Me."

The policeman sneered and said, "Hmph, you're quite loyal. Your yellow-haired friend over there took all the responsibility, saying that he instigated you to help him fight."

The yellow-haired friend must be Chen Zhaonan, Xiang Pei frowned, and said in a surprised tone: "That's what he said? But obviously..."

The policeman asked: "Obviously what?"

"I..."

Xiang Pei faltered, as if his throat was blocked by something, and refused to speak.

The policeman patted the table, and the tea in the cup on it splashed out, and the scalding water jumped onto the back of Xiang Pei's hand.

"Speak quickly!"

"But after the people over there hit my friend, I was the first to pay back."

After Xiang Pei finished talking, the policeman went out for a while and came back with a serious expression: "The three of you are really good brothers, and you all said that you fought back first."

Xiang Pei said nothing.

However, the police later found out from the people who provoked the incident that it was Chen Zhaonan who fought back first, and the incident was considered to be caused by him.

However, the consequences of this incident are not too serious. Besides, there are many people there. Chen Zhaonan's injury is more serious, especially Xiang Pei's head injury is quite scary. .

Chen Zhaonan didn't want to agree, his eyes almost rolled to the sky, he said that the man who beat the woman deserved to die, and Huang Mao had to pay Pei's medical expenses.

Xiang Pei sat on a chair and listened to Chen Zhaonan's complaints, and his brain throbbed with pain. He felt that it didn't matter because no one cared about him anyway.

You Jing was sitting next to Chen Zhaonan. He was the owner of the bar and was also pulled over to talk.

He saw that the injury on Chen Zhaonan's face was not serious, his mouth was bleeding, and he was so angry that he could only stare at the yellow hair in front of him.You Jing looks very imposing, his yellow hair recedes unconsciously after being stared at by him, like a dingy mouse.

However, You Jing still held his breath, and patiently persuaded Chen Zhaonan: "You don't care about the consequences of this matter, but Xiao Pei can't do it, or let this matter be forgotten. They were beaten badly by the three of you. "

Chen Zhaonan looked at Xiang Pei, thinking the same thing, he was the one who got Xiang Pei involved, but finally agreed to a settlement.

After the two sides shook hands hypocritically and made peace, Huang Mao left first.

The police notified Chu Ranfei’s parents. Chu Ranfei’s father came to the police station with a stick and almost took off Chu Ranfei’s pants to perform the Fa on the spot. Fortunately, the police repeatedly dissuaded him, so he kicked Chu Ranfei. go home.

But Chu Ranfei's parents are actually very relaxed with him, and now it's summer vacation, his father will beat him up at most.

In the end, the police asked Xiang Pei to inform his parents to pick him up, but Xiang Pei quit, saying that his mother was out of town.

"Then call your father."

Xiang Pei was more straightforward this time: "I don't have a father."

The situation couldn't be so exhausting all the time, You Jing said helplessly: "Comrade policeman, let me inform his father."

Xiang Pei didn't stop him, but just looked at the noisy street scene outside with displeasure.

When Xiang Guo came over, his expression was very bad, as if he was about to eat Xiang Pei.

There is still some cake on his face, which looks like he hasn't wiped it clean, which is a bit funny.

The police explained the situation to him, and he smiled and said sorry, pretended to be heartbroken, and said that he would educate himself when he went back.

"The child's problems are mostly due to the wrong way of parenting. This child is not stubborn, and his roots are not bad. You must pay more attention to his emotions at ordinary times."

Xiang Guo stopped talking.

Walking out of the police station, Xiang Pei was about to part ways with Xiang Guo.He walked forward with a cold face and quickened his pace, ignoring Xiang Guo calling him from behind.

"Xiao Pei," You Jing grabbed Xiang Pei and dragged him towards Xiang Guo, "At any rate, you should talk to your father a few more times, it's not easy to see each other."

You Jing said to Xiang Guo: "Then Uncle Xiang, Zhao Nan and I will leave first."

Chen Zhaonan apologized: "Uncle, don't blame Xiao Pei, this incident happened because of me, Xiao Pei did nothing wrong."

"Okay, okay, you go first." Xiang Guo waved his hand.

You Jing and the others left, and Xiang Guochao said to Pei without saying a word: "I'll take you back."

Xiang Guo was still riding his broken bicycle, the one that Xiang Pei used to ride in when he was a child, and he let Xiang Pei get on the bike.

Xiang Pei stopped on the side of the street for a few seconds, then stepped into the car.

They went to the hospital to treat the wound first, and then sewed a few stitches on Xiang Pei's head. Xiang Guo couldn't bear to look at the bloody wound, and his heart ached, but Xiang Pei didn't say a word, and didn't talk to Xiang Guo.

At the door of the house, Xiang Guo hesitated, but he didn't hold back a word for a long time.

Xiang Pei glanced at him, and ticked the corner of his mouth ironically: "What do you want to say? I know today is your daughter's birthday. The little princess wants her father's company most, but his father has to go out to deal with his broken son things."

"Xiang Pei, can you stop being so mean?"

"Dad, I'm very grateful for your coming tonight, then I'll go up first, and you go to bed early."

Xiang Guo sighed: "Why don't you move to your aunt's house, I don't feel at ease when you live outside alone... Also, you should go back to study, what kind of band can you get out of? Don't Messed with Youjing and the others, something might happen tonight."

Xiang Pei stood in front of the corridor, the faint light from inside shone on his face, coating his outline with a very cold and hard edge.

He smiled, but he was not happy, it could be said that he was sad.

"At that time, my aunt didn't give me food, and his son robbed me of my money and asked me to do his homework. I couldn't study, because all the living expenses and tuition you gave were taken away by their family. You don't know about this, do you? Of course, I’m too lazy to cry with you, it’s useless anyway. When I ran out, it was Youjing who asked me to live in his house first, and let me sing in his bar. He found me the place where I live now. All the previous rent was paid by him I paid for it. Chen Zhaonan gave me a very expensive guitar, and he tried his best to invite me to dinner every day, and wanted to give me money if he had something to do."

Xiang Pei paused, his voice trembling: "But my dear father, what have you done besides abandoning me?"

Do you give starfish and comments? ?If you don't give it to me, please... (?????????)
