why don't you laugh

With his hands clenched, Chen Bing turned to look at him.

"You came here yourself?"

Xiao Zhi motioned for another place.

There were two tall and thin figures standing in the shadow of the light. Guan Kun had a cigarette in his mouth and was talking to the sturdier man beside him.

Chen Bing followed him and heard the conversation between the two clearly.

"Your mother? Didn't you tell me to come and see beautiful women? Why is he a handsome guy again?"

Guan Kun put his arms around his shoulders, and changed the topic: "Look at the same, look at the same."

"It looks like shit! I drove for two or three hours just to see beautiful women. Your deceitful behavior is really too much for Chinese New Year."

Guan Kun is very happy.

Chen Bing looked at Xiao Zhi.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Guan Kun, his cousin, drove us here."

Thinking of what he said, Chen Bing choked, "So you two..."

"No," Xiao Zhi said, "I promise him one thing. When I see a pretty young lady, I will ask for WeChat for him."

"..."

Take the bamboo shoots.

Chen Bing had no choice but to signal to Chen Chonghua and Xu Rong: "I'll tell my parents."

The two of them stood relatively far away, watching the fireworks on the river bank from a distance.When Chen Bing approached, they also saw Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi was originally tall, but the black down jacket had a long hem, which made his figure taller and taller.In the middle of the night, his brows and eyes were illuminated by the lights, filling him with a bit of chill and sternness, as if to cover up his only youthful spirit.

Xu Rong was startled, and then recovered.

Chen Chonghua was also a little surprised: "Is this Xiaozhi?"

Xu Rong said, "That's right, he's too handsome to recognize him."

Xiao Zhi shouted: "Uncle Chen, Aunt Xu, happy new year."

"Happy New Year." Chen Chonghua said, looking at him with a surprised smile.

Chen Bing said, "I want to play with him for a while."

Xu Rong hesitated, "It's so late now..."

Xiao Zhi understood the meaning of the words, and took the words: "I will stay with Chen Bing near here, and we will send him back in half an hour if we don't go far."

half an hour.

It takes him two or three hours to come here.

Chen Bing looked at him sideways, and Xiao Zhi touched his fingertips lightly, as if saying it was okay,

Xu Rong felt relieved and said, "Then you go."

Walking out of the crowd with his back on his back, the surrounding crowd was crowded, Chen Bing said: "It's been so long to go back and forth, and you just look at me for half an hour?"

"It's okay." Xiao Zhi didn't care, "I just want to see you."

There is a big yellow fruit tree next to it, and the square along the street is full of food stalls and barbecue restaurants.Guan Kun and his cousin were sitting on plastic chairs in the open air, lighting drinks and snacks, looking at the fireworks near the river bank.

There is a hot drink in the shop, it tastes very sweet, Xiao Zhi ordered a cup and handed it to him.

Holding it in the palm of his hand, Chen Bing asked, "Where's your sister?"

"Watch the Spring Festival Gala at home."

"Let her stay at home alone and not quarrel with you?"

"She recognizes you now," Xiao Zhi said with other meanings, only those who know the inside understand, "It doesn't bother me, and I understand that I came to you."

Chen Bing didn't quite understand: "Why do you recognize me?"

"It's probably because of your cooking skills that impressed him." Xiao Zhi said.

Chen Bing was speechless. Some time ago, cooking at Xiao Zhi's house every day still had this effect. He smiled: "Then I worked hard."

"If you think it's hard work," Xiao Zhi made a suggestion, "you can turn around and disapprove of her now, and she will have to start working hard to please you."

Chen Bing: "..."

Unexpectedly, he could say such a thing, Chen Bing smiled: "Is it really your sister?"

Xiao Zhi inserted his middle finger into the tab of the can of Coke, flexed his fingers, opened the mouth of the can with a "bang--", took a couple of sips with the Coke in his mouth: "Tit for tat."

The two of them were chatting, and Guan Kun's cousin next to him frowned, obviously not understanding the situation in front of him, and at the same time he was a little skeptical about life.

"Didn't I come to see the beauty?"

"..." Guan Kun was annoyed by his words, and passed the Coke, "Are the two handsome guys not good-looking?"

"It's not—the handsome guy and the beautiful girl are two different things!"

"What do you want?"

Cousin's appeal is clear: "I want beautiful women."

There were a lot of people out at night, and there happened to be three girls sitting at the next table, all of whom were very beautiful.Guan Kun stood up and said, "Then I'll help you get WeChat."

"Stop, you?" Cousin confirmed again and again, with an expression as if he saw a supernatural event, "Go ask for it, don't you just scare them away?"

Guan Kun turned his head and looked at him directly: "Am I so ugly?"

"...You are not ugly."

The cousin gestured and explained: "You have a wicked face. Fierce."

His hint was clear.

Xiao Zhi turned to him and asked, "What do you think of me?"

"You are very suitable, with a deceptive face, no one can refuse you."

Xiao Zhi raised his hand, pressed lightly on the back of Chen Bing's hand first, then opened the seat and stood up.

"I'll help you ask."

The girl at the next table had just finished ordering. She was wearing an ankle-length skirt in winter, and she seemed to have noticed Xiao Zhi's side a long time ago.

Seeing him coming this way now, he was vaguely excited, and his eyes glanced randomly at the same time.

Xiao Zhi approached, lowering his gaze.

He said something.

The girl took out her mobile phone, and when she heard a certain sentence, her eyes turned to this side again, and then she took back her mobile phone.

Xiao Zhi walked back.

The cousin was very excited: "How is it! How is it! Do you want one, or all three?"

Xiao Zhi said lightly: "I didn't want any of them."

cousin:"?"

Cousin: "That's not what a handsome guy like you should say."

Not only was he puzzled, Chen Bing was also surprised, he originally thought that a few girls might send WeChat messages, after all Xiao Zhi is very coquettish.

But they didn't give it.

This made Chen Bing start to doubt himself, whether he was the only one who couldn't resist his anger.

"No." Xiao Zhi's face was half covered with shadows, and his voice was playful, "They originally wanted to give it, but I specifically said that it wasn't for me, but for a friend—"

He paused for a while, and then said, "If you know that friend is you, you won't give it to me."

cousin:"……"

He was silent for a full half a minute, and when he realized that Lun Shuai was definitely no match for the man in front of him, he raised his hand and pointed at Chen Bing.

Chen Bing didn't know why.

The cousin said: "The friend you asked for WeChat is actually him, don't make a mistake for a while."

Chen Bing: "..."

Xiao Zhi looked down at him for a while, then shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not very good."

"I'm just taking advantage of my strength, and I don't mean to ask for WeChat for him."

"That's not okay either." Xiao Zhi refused very simply.

He sat back in the chair again, and tapped the back of Chen Bing's hand with his fingertips: "This brother has a partner, the family education is strict, and the partner is easy to get jealous."

"It's okay, as long as we don't get known by his partner, his partner is not here anyway." The cousin said provocatively.

But the strange thing is that after he finished saying this, no one paid attention to him.

Guan Kun looked at him indifferently, picked up the Coke, and drank it by himself.

"...I really won't let his partner know!" My cousin yelled in bewilderment.

Quiet around.

Still no one paid him any attention.

Chen Bing only drank a thin layer of the drink in his hand, and less than half an hour later, the phone screen turned on, showing Xu Rong's phone number.

The other side has already hung up.

Chen Bing looked at Xiao Zhi: "I should go back."

"Okay, I'll see you off." Xiao Zhi stood up, just as the waiter next to him had just served the supper.

Chen Bing asked, "When are you going back?"

"It's still early, sit with them for a while."

Xiao Zhi motioned to the bank of the river, the lights reflected in his eyes: "There will be fireworks here at twelve o'clock sharp, I guess we will leave after watching them."

Chen Bing snorted, and said, "Go back early."

"I know."

They walked along the exit of the park together, the two of them often came to play in this area when they were young, and Xiao Zhi was more familiar with him.

While walking, chatting with each other.

Chen Bing asked: "Are you visiting relatives during Chinese New Year?"

Xiao Zhi laughed: "I don't have any relatives to leave."

"..."

It is true.

Chen Bing suddenly remembered: "Your father—"

He didn't continue for the rest of the sentence.

After walking along the road for a long time, Xiao Zhi said, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

Blown by the wind, unable to tell if the topic was too sharp, Chen Bing felt a little hot behind his ears.

After a while, Xiao Zhi seemed to be talking to himself: "I feel like I'm a little cold-blooded."

"why?"

Chen Bing turned his head to look at him.

"I know it's not his fault, but I started to hate him." Xiao Zhi's voice was very flat, "I also don't want to bring Xiao Ruo to see him. It doesn't make any sense except to make Xiao Ruo feel inferior and uncomfortable."

"..."

Chen Bing didn't know what to say, after a while, he shook his head: "This is not cold-blooded."

"What is it if it's not cold-blooded?" Xiao Zhi said, "Maybe my mother thinks so too."

Not cold-blooded.

No, cold blooded.

no……

Chen Bing said it several times in his heart.

He didn't know how to comfort people, and he withdrew his hands, not knowing what to say.

... The deep winter wind blows on the side of the neck, and the coldness envelops it.

Chen Bing remembered what Xiao Zhi said.

It was a scorching summer evening that year, and the air-conditioning was not turned on in the villa. Yang Wanzhou, who was wearing a heavy skirt, was rummaging for the company seal in Lao Xiao's study.She has been too busy lately, spending a lot of time to get Lao Xiao, a burden, into jail. The company is in control, and she is busy cleaning up evidence of violations, and she is busy every day.

When Xiao Zhi returned home after the final exam, he threw the pencil case on the sofa. The first thing he did was not to care and be considerate, but to continue the quarrel with her during this period.

After the conflict escalated, those words came out of my mouth naturally.

"If you hate me so much, get out! Get out of my place! Don't treat it as a food!"

"..."

"I tell you to get out!"

"..."

The hot temperature in the air dropped to freezing point, chilling.

On the day they moved out, Xiao Zhi stood at the bottom of the building with his younger sister, the scorching sun made the road wet and shiny, but the car that took them to their new home hadn't arrived for a long time.All the servants at home were dismissed, and only Wang Yueqiu waited with them until noon, leaving a note with the address on it, and was picked up by her husband in a car.

Xiao Zhi called Yang Wanzhou, but couldn't get through.

The weather was hot, and there were noisy cicadas chirping among the leaves. Xiao Ruo lifted her skirt, her face turned pale from the heat: "Brother, should we wait at Brother Chen Bing's house?"

The door next door was closed.Xiao Zhi said, "Forget it."

Xiao Ruo asked: "Then won't you say goodbye to him?"

"He is training, not at home."

After a while, Xiao Zhi said, "I said goodbye too."

Xiao Ruo couldn't stand up, she sat on the ground and her skirt was dirty.She didn't dare to leave, and she didn't dare to go to eat, for fear of missing the car.Xiao Zhi frequently looked at Chen Bing's room next door, and at the end of the road under the sycamore tree. During this period, his relationship with Yang Wanzhou broke down to the freezing point, and his expectations became very weak, slowly being consumed by time.

Until late at night, the sky is full of stars.

"Is mom not coming?" Xiao Ruo asked.

"I don't know." Xiao Ruo said.

He thought for a while and said, "Let's go."

"where to?"

"do not know."

He was carrying two boxes of clothes with Xiao Ruo, and when he was paying for the meal, he took out the note from Wang Yueqiu from his pocket.

It was early morning, Xiao Ruo fell asleep leaning against him, and was carried out of the car by Wang Yuqiu.

The place is very run down.

Xiao Zhi couldn't tell how long it took him to get used to the dark and dusty buildings in the city, the dust in the streets and alleys, the quarrels of the couple next door, and the frenzied honking of motorcycles passing by in the middle of the night.

But he slowly got used to it.

Wang Yueqiu also persuaded her, how much enmity can be with her mother, just apologize and be soft, maybe it will be fine.

But Xiao Zhi doesn't know what it means to be soft.

He is cold-blooded and hard-boned.

...Maybe it was the excitement of the family reunion during the Chinese New Year that made Xiao Zhi start to doubt himself why he had to correct Yang Wanzhou's wrongdoing at that time, and he himself, until now, has very weak feelings for his father.

Xiao Zhi took a breath at his finger, not far away, Xu Rong and Chen Chonghua waved to Chen Bing.

Xiao Zhi stood in the thin snow and ice, his hair was slightly astigmatized by the light, his brows and eyes were blurred, Chong Chen Bing raised his chin: "You go home."

Chen Bing didn't leave, and looked at Xiao Zhi again.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhi asked.

Chen Bing thought for a while, raised his hand, and patted his shoulder.

Xiao Zhi was amused by the iconic manly gesture, and looked down at him.

Chen Bing said, "I'm leaving."

Xiao Zhi walked back, back to the barbecue booth where Guan Kun and his cousin were sitting.The fireworks are blooming one after another in front of me, the eyes are colorful, and passers-by with smiles on their faces pass by.

People are emotional animals, Xiao Zhi starts to think about life at this time, going through the past to the present, thinking about where he went wrong, and thinking about why he has come to this point.

Up to now, Xiao Zhi can't tell what he thinks about his family and his parents. Sometimes he hates it and thinks that he and Xiao Ruo can live together. Sometimes, he envies other people's family reunion.

He sat in a chair and traded the Coke for beer.

Cousin Guan Kun wants to drive, so he can't touch a glass of wine.

After I don't know how long he had been drinking, Guan Kun poked him on the arm.

"Brother Xiao, stop drinking."

Next to it, I don't know when, suddenly there is a broadcasting speaker counting down to the New Year, and the sound wave echoes through the entire square.

"New Year's countdown 59 seconds, 58 seconds, 57, 56..."

The crowd is crowded, and the sound of the entire square gradually begins to gather, forming a more unified and powerful sound wave, overwhelming the sky, and the festive sound of firecrackers and fireworks, noisy earaches, can destroy all ominous and fragile.

"10, 9, 8, 7..."

There was a buzzing in the ears.

"...3, 2, 1."

Xiao Zhi counted silently in his heart.

One last sound.

"Bang—" the fireworks in his ears were twice as loud as before, Xiao Zhi didn't hear the ringtone of the phone, but felt the vibration close to his side.

Bring it out, Chen Bing's news.

-[May the new year be better than the old year. ]

-[The future will definitely get better and better. ]

-[(づ￣3￣)づ╭～]

-[o(≧v≦)o~~ Brother Xiao is awesome]

Xiao Zhi's slender knuckles clasped the edge of the phone, and his eyebrows were illuminated by the screen's fluorescent light, revealing sharp-edged and deep brow tails. Half of his face had a stern demeanor, with a straight nose. It was close, but the smile on the corner of his lips weakened the chill.

Xiao Zhi was amused, and after a while, he sent him another message.

-[Happy New Year's Eve (*゜ー゜*)]

Chen Bing called directly, but the fireworks on his side were too loud to hear clearly, and he could only hear intermittent shouts: "Can you stop shouting, mental retardation, quotations?"

Retarded?

Xiao Zhi found it very sweet instead.

He asked cooperatively, "Then what should my name be?"

After waiting for a while, a screenshot was sent from the opposite side.It was the chat records between him and Xiao Zhi just now, there was nothing at first glance, but it was only after careful inspection that there were clues.

Chen Bing's note to himself is - Xiao Jianqiang.

Xiao Zhi: "?"

He froze for a second, then typed directly: "What????"

This nickname is too earthy... There is no sweetness between couples at all.Xiao Zhi frowned slightly, not quite sure if Chen Bing had lost the most cold and fairy-like part of his personality during the time he spent with himself and the others, and was slightly tainted with the aura of evil.

But in the next moment, Chen Bing sent another message.

CB: [This note contains my best wishes for you. ]

Xiao Zhi replied in seconds: "Why don't I wish you one too?"

Chen Bing: "..."

He returned very bluntly.

CB: [OK. ]

Xiao Z: [Then what wish do you have? ]

After asking, Xiao Zhi waited for a while.

Cousin Guan Kun next to him wanted to have a big drink to celebrate the New Year, picked up the Coke and drank the meaning of Lafite in 82, stepped on the chair with one leg, and shouted at Xiao Zhihao: "I hope I can find a girl in the New Year!"

"..."

Beer poured down the throat.

Xiao Zhi put down his wine glass, wiped the cold stream between his lower lip with his fingertips, and looked at the message from his phone again.

CB: [You can change my note to]

CB: [Chen Health]

Xiao Zhi: "..."

The author has something to say: Xiao Zhi: Something is wrong with my brain (+﹏+)~
