why don't you laugh

Chen Bing said, "Then your name."

Xiao Zhi was quiet for a second, without any struggle, and said, "Ancestor."

He took it for granted.

Chen Bing looked at him for a while, but couldn't hold back: "You can sell anything for food, right?"

Xiao Zhi laughed, picked up his chopsticks again and approached: "If you have food, don't be a bastard."

"..."

He started to eat, lowered his head, put vegetables in the bowl and then for Chen Bing, feeling as if he had been hungry for a long time.Chen Bing recalled the past few days: "Eat all the takeaways I ordered for you?"

Xiao Zhi responded: "Eat them all."

But after finishing speaking, Xiao Zhi looked at Chen Bing again.At that time, the note on the post-it note was: I like to eat or not.He thought it was funny when he saw it, except for Chen Xiaobing, who was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, he couldn't think of anyone else who would think about eating.

Hearing that he had eaten, Chen Bing relaxed in a tense heart.

When Xiao Zhi lowered his head to eat, his hair was slightly raised, and Chen Bing touched it with his fingers. I don't know how he got here these days, but the outline of his jaw seemed to be a little less clear than before.

I didn't see him for three or four days. Although Xiao Zhi recovered now, he was still a bit haggard.

Chen Bing paused, his throat was knotted, and after a while he asked, "When are you going to find Xiao Ruo?"

The chopsticks in Xiao Zhi's hand stopped.

He lowered his head, and after a while, his tone was a little empty: "...not going."

Chen Bing thought he didn't hear clearly, "Huh?"

But there was silence.

... Chen Bing understood it from the subtle atmosphere.

That night Chen Bing suggested to Xiao Zhi that he would pick up Xiao Ruo after the exam, but he kept shaking his head and saying no.Maybe the idea is not clear yet, but Xiao Zhi subconsciously decided that it would be better for Xiao Ruo to follow Yang Wanzhou than to be with himself.

Paranoia and insanity, had ended that night.

Chen Bing took the chopsticks and changed the topic: "...What are you doing after eating?"

Xiao Zhi smiled: "Isn't it our private time?"

Understanding other meanings in his words, Chen Bing glanced at him and was attracted by the news on the phone.

The summer vacation is relatively short, and Wen Wei has been playing like crazy. Now he doesn't know where to hang out in the city. Anyway, he sent a location to play in a billiard room.

The voice messages are great.

"Brother Xiao, come out and play, come out and play."

"Don't be bored at home, come on, be happy!"

As a good brother, it is really rare for him to be so conscientious every day not only to avoid causing Xiao Zhi's displeasure, but also to push him out of the shadows every day.

Chen Bing thought his proposal was good: "Go for a walk?"

Xiao Zhi was too lazy to move, but nodded after thinking about it, and said, "Okay."

The billiard room is in the open air on the inner side of the square, with big lights on, and the lights are bright in the field of vision.Chen Bing got out of the car and came in. There were four or five boys standing on the right side, all of them were smoking cigarettes, lazy society brothers, swearing or cursing loudly.

Only Wen Wei, Fu Hang and the others stood on the other side as if nothing happened, seeing Xiao Zhi and Chen Bing waving: "Here."

"Rare customers, rare customers, our brother Xiao is finally willing to go out."

"Come on, you fight first?"

"You guys fight."

Xiao Zhi approached and unconsciously glanced at the side.

Standing in the middle was Zhang Ziming, who was lighting a cigarette for a social brother, with an extremely obsequious gesture.At first glance, the social brother is the real social brother, wearing a black vest, colorful arms, and combing his hair in a style, sitting there smoking a cigarette, with his legs spread wide and looking at the people next to him.

Noticing Xiao Zhi's gaze, Wen Wei spat: "Unlucky. Zhang is there too?"

Xiao Zhi withdrew his gaze: "You picked a good place."

"No way, just play around."

Guan Kun came over and put his arms around Xiao Zhi's shoulder: "Are you okay these few days?"

"good."

"Okay?" He didn't believe it, but Guan Kun didn't ask any more questions. He turned his head to talk to Wen Wei, looking at the other side from time to time, and suddenly said, "Fuck!"

Wen Wei was taken aback: "What are you doing?"

Guan Kun lowered his voice: "I just said that the man looks so familiar. My cousin knew him, so there was no way he was in a fight. He broke his leg before and did a lot of unconscionable things... It is said that he also laundered money and was involved in gangsters. Being a thug is not a good person anyway.”

As a student, Wen Wei was startled: "...doesn't recruit him?"

"Yes, don't recruit him," Guan Kun said, "We play our own game."

After they finished speaking, they continued to play as if nothing had happened, but Chen Bing noticed something from these secondary titles.

...As long as Zhang Ziming is involved, it must be related to the life path Xiao Zhi chose in his previous life.

Maybe Xiao Ruo had just been taken away at that time, Xiao Zhi was smoking and drinking at home all day long, secluded himself to anesthetize himself, and went out to play without paying attention, and ended up getting involved with this group of gangsters who were dancing on the edge of the law.

Chen Bing began to feel uncomfortable.

Over there, Xiao Zhi was sitting on a wooden chair, he was wearing a baseball cap, the dark shadow vaguely covered half of his face, only showing his well-defined chin.Being urged to play, he stood up without interest, took off his baseball cap and threw it aside.

On the other side, Zhang Ziming looked at the other side unintentionally, whether it was drawn by fate or not, his eyes were fixed, as if he was looking at something.

Chen Bing said: "Xiao Zhi."

Xiao Zhi picked up a ball on the pool table and threw it back to the other side, looking at him: "Huh?"

Chen Bing said, "Come here."

Handing the cue into his hand, Xiao Zhi put it down, walked closer and the shadow fell: "What's wrong?"

Chen Bing said, "I'm not feeling well."

Xiao Zhi looked down at him, then looked at his whole body, stretched out his hand to gently wrap his arms around him: "Ah? What's wrong?"

Chen Bing glanced at Zhang Ziming's direction, he seemed to have found this place, and walked forward.

Chen Bing said, "Let's go first."

Chen Bing couldn't help but pull his wrist, turned around and walked around the path next to him.Behind him, Xiao Zhi was still struggling with his uncomfortable sentence, and asked while walking, "Where is the discomfort?"

Chen Bing said casually, "Stomach pain."

When he passed through the crowd and penetrated into the depths of the alley, and all the lights were extinguished, Chen Bing stopped.

Xiao Zhi was close at hand, his brows and eyes could not be seen clearly against the light, and his warm breath fell to the tip of his nose: "Why do you suddenly have a stomachache?" He put his hand on Chen Bing's abdomen and touched it gently, "It hurts?"

Chen Bing paid attention to the alleyway behind him.

People don't follow like crazy.

Chen Bing breathed a sigh of relief, not quite sure if he led Xiao Zhi to escape his fate.He thought about the whole thing, before he had time to respond to Xiao Zhi's words, he felt being hugged into his arms.

Xiao Zhi put his arms around his waist with one hand, rubbed his abdomen with the other, and looked down at his expression: "Why don't you talk? Does it hurt?"

Chen Bing thought about it and pushed him away: "Let's go first."

Going out from the alley is the famous snack street nearby. There are squares and commercial buildings next to it, brightly lit and very lively.

After confirming that he was far away from the group of people in the billiard room, Chen Bing completely relaxed, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his back.

Xiao Zhi was overwhelmed with worry, and followed a step or two away to ask about his health, always holding him in his arms, so Chen Bing turned around and said, "It's not a stomachache."

Xiao Zhi looked at him with dark eyes, "Huh?"

The night wind is cold, the vehicles in the distance are bustling, and the horns are coming from a long distance. The downtown area is quite lively.

Chen Bing turned his head and looked at him: "I don't want to stay in that place."

"..." Xiao Zhi thought about it, but didn't ask much.

Chen Bing has always disliked the noisy and smoky environment, and it is uncomfortable to stay there, so it is understandable to want to leave.However, his movement just now was a bit abnormal, and he felt too sensitive.

Xiao Zhi fixed his eyes on him, and asked again: "I just don't want to stay?"

Only now did Chen Bing say, "Seeing that Zhang Ziming makes me feel uncomfortable."

He didn't remind, Xiao Zhi hadn't noticed yet: "He's there too?"

Chen Bing: "Yes."

Xiao Zhi half-closed his eyes and said softly.

The two walked aimlessly, crossing the street full of food stalls on both sides.

Because of Zhang Ziming's sudden situation, Chen Bing was in a bad mood, and he didn't talk to Xiao Zhi all the way.

After walking for a while, Xiao Zhi was attracted by the takoyaki next to him, hooking Chen Bing's finger: "Eat something."

Chen Bing turned his head to look at him: "Didn't you have enough to eat at home?"

"..."

These words, coupled with his indifferent attitude, are especially like a wife who stops her husband from buying snacks for the children on the street.

Xiao Zhi looked at his reaction and said, "Don't let him eat?"

"..." Chen Bing followed him.

There are a lot of people around the takoyaki, queuing up to see, the small recess on the iron plate is filled with raw materials, and small octopus legs are being put in it.

Xiao Zhi pulled Chen Bing and stroked his hair: "Look at you being fierce every day."

Chen Bing turned his head to hide, his eyes were cold, and he just looked at him.

After buying this one, he sat on the stone brick under the sidewalk tree, Xiao Zhi inserted one and handed it to Chen Bing: "Eat it."

Only then did Chen Bing understand that he bought it for himself specially, probably because he was not in a good mood, so he just found a topic to coax himself.

The people around stopped and went, some led their dogs and passed by in twos and threes.

Chen Bing took a bite of the takoyaki, tasted the juicy juice just after breaking the puff pastry, then moved it away: "It's hot."

"Blow to you."

Xiao Zhi seriously blew on the smoking takoyaki, Chen Bing didn't know what to say for a while, and turned his head to look at the night.

【Now, will Xiao Zhi's fate be different? 】

Has that major bifurcation passed?

Chen Bing couldn't get the answer.

His fingertips were covered again, Xiao Zhi handed over the cold takoyaki, and picked up a piece with a stick: "Open your mouth."

Chen Bing bit his mouth.

After feeding him all the time, Xiao Zhi looked down, as if he had gotten the most satisfying thing, after Chen Bing shook his head and didn't want to eat any more, he packed the box and put it beside him.

He used to bring Xiao Ruo here to buy snacks on this street.I bought a bench and sat on the side of the road. The sun was setting and I was watching the busy traffic on the street. I heard the little girl next to me keep saying, "It's delicious! How can it be so delicious! Brother, do you want to have a bite?"

At that time, he refused impatiently, but he felt in his heart that this feeling was not bad.

But now, the little girl has left here.

When he hadn't experienced anything before, the sudden loss was always like a dream, and one day that part would come back, knock on the door as if nothing had happened, and make his life complete.

But now, he no longer has that self-deceiving dream.To be able to feel rationally and soberly that it is not so easy for a person to leave himself and return.

However, without that part, people still have to move forward.

Xiao Zhi sat up enough, stood up, threw the remaining takoyaki box into the trash can, and said, "Let's go."

Chen Bing took a step or two beside him.

When he took out the key to open the door, Xiao Zhi dropped his gaze and stared at the door lock for a while, as if he felt something was wrong.

Chen Bing asked: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zhi pushed open the door.

The light at home was on, but Chen Bing made sure to turn it off when he left.

There was an envelope on the coffee table, Xiao Ruomen had hidden it, but now it was wide open.

Xiao Zhi took a few steps forward, holding onto the door frame of Xiao Ruo's room, his slender finger bones showed blue veins, and looked inside.

What did Chen Bing realize: "Xiao Ruo is back?"

Xiao Zhi seemed to lose his strength in his fingers, and said, "I haven't come back." He turned around, "I just took some things away."

Chen Bing didn't expect that they would come over just as Xiao Zhi was going out, and when they approached, there seemed to be no sign of any disturbance in the room.But Xiao Zhi pointed to the storage box on the desk: "Take away the contents."

Not only that, but also left a photo.

Xiao Zhi and Xiao Ruo took the photo. During the Chinese New Year, they went out shopping with Wang Yueqiu's family. They were standing by the river bank hand in hand, one of them pulled their lips indifferently, and the other laughed at the camera until their shoulders shrugged, which was captured by the camera.

Xiao Zhi stroked the photo with his fingertips, and then put it away.

The envelope on the coffee table, needless to say, contains money.

It was thicker than before, it seemed that after several months of calculation, it happened to be the full amount of Xiao Zhi's upbringing.

Xiao Zhi took them all out and put them in the cabinet on the desk.

Chen Bing looked at him, worried: "Are you all right?"

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "It's okay, I'll change clothes." He went to the bedside to get the T-shirt, lifted the quilt, as if something had been blown away, and it fell lightly to the ground.

A stack of money.

Not brand new hundred-yuan bills, but 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 20 yuan, or even a few dollars and a few cents, with curly edges, folded into a thick handful, and placed under his pillow, obviously someone All the private money that the child had saved with great difficulty was given to him, and he secretly covered it with a quilt for fear of being seen.

Xiao Zhi had no emotion on his face, and said, "Fuck."

Chen Bing understood: "Xiao Ruo gave it to you."

Xiao Zhi counted while collecting money.It's quite a lot to count, but the big heads are brand new, probably Yang Wanzhou just gave them to her.The small head is relatively old, and there are seven or eight hundred yuan left after counting.

Chen Bing was funny, and felt quite warm in his heart: "You can save money at such a young age."

Xiao Zhi was speechless, and put it back into Xiao Ruo's storage box after a while.

It's still early now, after reciting the vocabulary, Xiao Zhi was about to do his homework, when Wen Wei called after a while.

"Are you home?"

"It's early."

"Oh, I thought you guys went to the bathroom. We're going home now too." Next to Wen Wei was a male voice discussing fiercely. You can't play golf tonight, but he can play it well.

Xiao Zhi talked to him every now and then, while Chen Bing was half lying on the sofa looking at his phone, and heard Wen Wei say unintentionally: "After you left, Zhang Ziming was waiting for you for a long time, luckily he left early."

Xiao Zhi didn't pay attention to this person, and responded shortly.

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

After tidying up his homework, Chen Bing was already sleepy, but Xiao Zhi's work and rest have been upside down recently, and he doesn't seem to feel sleepy in bed.With his head on the pillow, Chen Bing fell into a drowsy sleep until he felt Xiao Zhi hug him into his arms.

summer is hot.

With his body that is prone to illness, he dare not turn on the temperature of the air conditioner too low, so it is a bit hot to hug him.

Chen Bing wanted to push him, but couldn't.

Xiao Zhi loves to sleep with him in his arms, sometimes his legs are wrapped around him.

As a result, Chen Bing was woken up by the heat, staring at the ceiling rather helplessly.

The breath beside him was steady, and Xiao Zhi was fast asleep.One of them is colder and the other is hotter. It might be cool for Xiao Zhi to hold him at the moment, but Chen Bing feels very hot.

"Xiao Zhi..." Chen Bing called him tentatively.

No response.

Chen Bing struggled, and then was hugged even tighter.Xiao Zhi still pressed his lips vaguely on the side of his neck and gave a light "chirp~".

"..."

Chen Bing couldn't fall asleep, and his thoughts began to wander aimlessly.

Chen Bing slowly sorted out the reasons why Xiao Zhi took that road in his previous life.

I left in my third year of junior high school, and Xiao Ruo also left, and he was the only one left in this world.He has no intention of walking into that road, and no one can control him.

It's better now, I'm still by his side.What if... after graduating from the college entrance examination, I still get sick?

Chen Bing didn't dare to guess the result, it was only a gamble.

...can't sleep, can only think wildly.I was diagnosed with cancer a few months after I graduated from high school, so now, is there any sign in my body?

Chen Bing suddenly wanted to go to the hospital for an examination.

For him, if the direction of fate is expected, it may not be so difficult to accept.

The next day, after waking up and eating breakfast, Xiao Zhi was doing homework, sitting at the desk, legs bent, slowly shaking a pen between his fingers.

Chen Bing found an excuse and said, "I'm going out now to buy a book in the store."

Xiao Zhi: "Then I'll be with you?"

"No," Chen Bing said, "I'll just go by myself."

Xiao Zhi looked at him for a while, didn't say anything, and continued to write and draw: "That's fine."

Chen Bing went out, the weather was still early.

After registering at the hospital, he waited slowly until the air became stuffy and the sun was shining brightly outside, then it was his turn.

Chen Bing simply had a full-body examination, which took a long time, but the overall result was still healthy.

The doctor looked at the video and asked, "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Chen Bing couldn't let go, and just asked: "Is there any possibility of cancer in the future?"

The doctor looked at him for a while.

To be honest, he has never met a healthy patient who asked him if he would get cancer.

After a while, the doctor said: "If you really care about it, I suggest you go to the psychiatrist."

"..."

It was after four o'clock in the afternoon when Chen Bing left the hospital.

The sunlight was still strong, and Chen Bing stood at the door, feeling for a moment that maybe his experiences before rebirth were just a dream, and he was just stuck too deep in the dream, unable to get out.

How time flies, and if his life has a limit, it is already halfway through.The next time is only one year.

Chen Bing thought for a while, and stuffed all the checklists in his hand into the trash can.

The time during the summer vacation is quite happy.

There are only senior three students in the whole school. It is very empty, and there are fewer classes than usual. Every time I go back to the dormitory, there will be a long period of time without turning off the lights to eat, drink and have fun.

I was not willing to make up lessons before, but after thinking about it carefully, it is more fun to play with everyone than to stay in school after making up lessons.

There is a popular game in the dormitory, playing cards, the first thing to do when returning to the dormitory after two classes every day is to play cards, but because it is too noisy, it is usually concentrated in a few dormitories.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Wen Wei lost his schoolbag and ran to the next dormitory: "Brother Xiao, rush?"

Xiao Zhi said modestly: "You rush at you, I will see the problem."

Wen Wei shook his head, and dragged Zhou Fang to rush over quickly, so as not to become a next door.

Chen Bing threw the book on the desk, took the water glass to the water dispenser, took a glass of cold water, rolled his Adam's apple, and drank it.

There is no air conditioner in the school dormitory, only an electric fan hanging from the top. The ice is so hot that it almost melts.

When he came back, Xiao Zhi copied a pair of fans and slapped him twice: "Sit down."

There was no one else in the dormitory, and they all went to fight the landlord in the next dormitory.

Sitting down, Chen Bing opened the book: "Where did I write today?"

"I'm almost done writing this unit, and there are three pages left. I'll go back after I finish."

Chen Bing hummed.

Recently, Xiao Zhi was not in a hurry to go home after school, but went to Chen Bing's dormitory to do homework together.Chen Bing was also not very happy that he went back too early and stayed at home alone. This non-mainstream boy was prone to cranky thoughts.

Half of the make-up lessons have been completed, and this kind of life is slowly over-ripe, which is actually very comfortable.Within half an hour, Fu Hang and Guan Kun came in from the outside, carrying about a dozen cups of milk tea in their hands, and put them in front of Xiao Zhi in the dormitory: "Your Oreo cake milk tea, add ice."

Xiao Zhi: "Thank you."

Pass another cup to Chen Bing: "Your jasmine tea, add ice and half sugar."

Chen Bing: "Thank you."

The two said "You're welcome", then picked up the deeds cup of milk tea with a label on it, and left slowly.

Several cheers and howls broke out in the next bedroom, as if welcoming the return of a hero.

"..."

Xiao Zhi removed the cap of the milk tea bottle, and put a spoon inside, tore off the plastic paper and handed it to Chen Bing: "Here, yours."

Chen Bing began to eat the layer of floating milk cap and Oreo crumbs on top of the milk tea.

Xiao Zhi lowered his eyes, looked at him for a while, pursed his lips amusedly, lowered his head and turned the pages of the book.

There was no one else in the dormitory, just the two of them.

While drinking milk tea while writing practice questions, Chen Bing felt that the heat was not so hot, and he recovered a little bit.

He was tired of doing these questions, anyway, at leisure, Chen Bing leaned his neck back on the bar of the chair, stepped on the table legs with his shoes, and slowly stretched his body backwards.

...the electric fan on the head kept running.

The cool wind blew all over my face.Chen Bing lowered the pen holding his wrist, beside him, Xiao Zhi glanced at him, then lowered his head to solve the question just now.

The ice water in the stomach worked slowly and became less hot.Chen Bing sat back at the desk again, and grabbed Xiao Zhi's slightly stiff wrist.

Xiao Zhi continued to write, holding him with his backhand, his slender knuckles slowly reached into his palm, and clasped tightly.

Chen Bing turned his head to look at him, feeling amused in his heart.

In the past, this handsome guy was so tired of studying that he had to be coaxed to learn, but now he is like a boyfriend who is a bully student, even though Chen Bing is holding hands, he still keeps his head down and continues to do his homework calmly.

... can only be said to be interesting.

Seeing that he worked so hard, Chen Bing couldn't resist kissing the side of his face.

Xiao Zhi raised his eyelids to look at him, his reaction was very indifferent, and he pointed to continue the question that he hadn't finished just now.

Chen Bing came back with a glass of water and handed it to him. When he sat down, he was a little unsteady, and fell to Xiao Zhi's side, putting his hand on his shoulder.

Chen Bing: "Sorry."

"..."

Xiao Zhi slapped the pen in a snap, his eyes fell on his face, and he smiled a little: "What are you doing?"
