Bamboo horse falling from the sky

"Happy birthday!"

On a midsummer night in Xiamen, the cool sea breeze blows across the city. Most young people still prefer to take a walk by the sea than to play with their mobile phones at home.

It is not difficult to find a large rectangular table on a beach far away from the crowd. The table is surrounded by a group of teenagers. The happy birthday that lingered just now came from them.

These seven boys are trainees of Fenghe Entertainment Company, and today is the birthday of one of them, Bai Chumu. small party.

The birthday star Bai Chumu was brought to the beach blindfolded by Ling Tongqian, who has the best relationship with him, and just after he was pressed to sit down and took off the black cloth on his eyes, he heard friends wishing him a birthday hapiness.

The teenagers' voices were loud, and Bai Chumu was taken aback, and it took him a while to realize what was going on.

Although he is only a trainee of Fenghe, he has been busy shooting materials for the past month, leaving early and returning late. Bai Chumu has long forgotten his birthday, but fortunately, this group of friends remember it.

"Thank you, everyone, thank you!" Bai Chumu looked at the birthday cake on the table. There were thirteen burning candles on the cake. The firelight shone into his pupils, making his eyes sparkle.

"Come, come, let's make a wish." Ling Tongqian put a birthday crown on Bai Chumu, and helped him smooth out his messy hair.

"Yes, yes, make a wish!"

"Make a wish, Xiaobai."

When the others heard Ling Tongqian's words, they quickly echoed.

Six people opened their mouths, and the scene immediately became lively.

Seafood is the most essential thing for dinner at the beach in Xiamen. Knowing that this is Bai Chumu's favorite food, the company specially prepared a table of seafood.

Bai Chumu first cut the cake and shared a piece for everyone. After the teenagers ate the cake, they started cooking. Fish, crabs, etc. all became their dishes.

Bai Chumu loves to eat seafood, but he doesn't like to peel the shells. Ling Tongqian put the peeled shrimps in his bowl consciously: "Here, have a shrimp."

"Yo, thank you, thank you!" Bai Chumu said politely.

"Little Bai, what wish did you make?" Chen Ziheng moved his head to Bai Chumu's side.

"Hey, won't it be ineffective if you say it?" Bai Chumu waved his hands, and put the topic behind him with a relaxed expression.

His wish, of course, is that he and his six partners can stay in Fenghe forever and debut together.

His wish is not big or big, he just wants to debut with his good brothers who get along day and night, but it is not small, in Fenghe entertainment company with many trainees, how easy is it to make a debut?

Feng He's seniors and seniors who have already made their debut, which one didn't make their debut after several years or even more than ten years?Their generation of trainees is not very old now.

For Bai Chumu's birthday, although the company arranged for a camera to follow it as usual, it was just a meal for the seven children, and it was simply a birthday celebration for him.The birthday is simple, but in the eyes of the children, it is already a great satisfaction. The satisfaction is the table of delicacies prepared by the company, and the birthday is accompanied by their best friends.

Although Fenghe is an entertainment company, it is very good at raising children. At the age when this group of children is growing up, even if it is one of the children's birthdays, the staff will not let them stay up late.Just after ten o'clock in the evening, the staff collected the children's mobile phones one by one and told them to go to bed early.

The children are very obedient and rest on time, except Ling Tongqian.

After eleven o'clock, after confirming that all the children were asleep, the staff quietly woke up Ling Tongqian, packed his luggage lightly and took him out of the room.

"It's true, Mr. Zhou, can't you just let the child wake up before leaving? You have to send the child away overnight." After leaving the room, the staff member in charge of the children's daily life, Ms. Jia, complained in a low voice.

"Sister Jia, don't say that. Mr. Zhou is doing it for our own good. He probably doesn't want us to experience parting." Ling Tongqian smiled unattractively, and his voice was choked with sobs.

"Xiaoqian, Sister Jia knows that you are sad, and also knows that you are not really willing to leave, but Mr. Zhou is really sick in his head, and he will do anything for the sake of profit. This time he will send you home, next time There must have been other children who were sent away, it’s really hard for you.”

"No, no, Mr. Zhou promised me that I was the last one to be sent away." When Ling Tongqian said this, his tone was extremely firm, but he had no idea in his heart. What Mr. Zhou said, he He didn't know if he could believe it, but he still hoped that Mr. Zhou would keep his promise.

"We will not be by your side in the future, so we must learn to take good care of ourselves. Although you are no longer in Fenghe, my sister still wishes you a bright future." Sister Jia patted Ling Tongqian's little head lightly, and said distressedly.

"Thank you, Miss Jia."

Ling Tongqian and Sister Jia were sitting in the living room waiting for the chauffeur to come. His heart was already filled with anxiety. This anxiety came from his worry that other brothers would wake up and find that he was not there.Sadness is certain, whether it is him or the six friends, who have been together day and night for two years, how can a sudden parting make people not sad?

But they are just a group of children, and they have no ability to fight against reality. In many cases, they can only be forced to accept the cruelty of reality.

"Xiaoqian?" Chen Ziheng, who woke up to go to the toilet, left the room and passed the living room, only to see Ling Tongqian and Sister Jia sitting on the sofa in silence.

"Brother Heng." Ling Tongqian trembled when Chen Ziheng yelled, and stood up involuntarily to face Chen Ziheng, like a child who made a mistake and was discovered by his parents.

"It's so late at night, why is Sister Jia here?" Chen Ziheng really hoped that things were different from what he thought in his heart, but when he saw Ling Tongqian's suitcase, he realized something was wrong, "Xiaoqian, what are you doing?" Where are you going?"

"Brother Heng, I..." Ling Tongqian didn't expect to be bumped into by any of his friends when he left, and he didn't know how to explain to him for a while.

"Where are you going?" Chen Ziheng raised his voice and asked again.

"Xiao Heng, keep your voice down, or the other children will hear it." Sister Jia was afraid that the other children would be woken up, and she didn't want them to face the painful thing of parting, so she couldn't help but remind her.

"So, Xiaoqian is going to be sent away too?" Chen Ziheng stared at Sister Jia, eager to know the real answer.

"Yes." Sister Jia and Chen Ziheng looked at each other for a long time, and they were silent for a long time. After much deliberation, they still didn't know how to comfort the child, so they had to say "yes".Even if she didn't want to be this bad guy, she had to.

"Right? Not even an explanation?" Chen Ziheng sneered, feeling a little angry and disappointed.

Those of their little friends who were sent away in the past had a reason for being sent away. It’s good to be back at Ling Tongqian, the company’s senior management doesn’t even want to make up a reason.

"Brother Heng, things are not what you think." Ling Tongqian felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body, he walked over helplessly and grabbed Chen Ziheng's arm.

"I know you were forced." Chen Ziheng looked at Ling Tongqian's eyes with tears, and gritted his teeth hard. He really didn't want anyone else to be sent away.

Ling Tongqian is good at singing and dancing, and has a gentle personality. How could such an excellent child be sent away without reason?

They argued in the living room for too long, causing other children to be woken up, and they ran out of the living room to find out.

Knowing that Ling Tongqian was about to be sent away, the children were helpless, and all cried in a mess.

"Where's Xiaobai?" Chen Ziheng looked at Song Xingyu, Xiaobai's roommate.

"Xiaobai...he didn't wake up." Song Xingyu wiped away his tears and replied to Chen Ziheng.

"Don't wake him up." Ling Tongqian begged, he didn't want to leave in front of Bai Chumu, who had the closest relationship with him, because he was afraid that he would really be unable to leave.

Chen Ziheng nodded and stopped talking.

As soon as the special car driver arrived downstairs in the trainee dormitory, he called Sister Jia and asked her to take the child downstairs quickly.

"Goodbye." Ling Tongqian followed Sister Jia, watching the brothers who had been together for two years, and walked down the stairs step by step. Every step he took, he felt like glue was sticking to the soles of his feet, making it difficult to move.

He didn't dare to look back, let alone look directly into the tearful eyes of his brothers. The goodbye meant that he would never see them again.

Sister Jia did not allow the children to go downstairs with them, so they all had to lie on the balcony on the second floor and watch the official car drive away to an unknown distance.

Bai Chumu had a terrible nightmare. He dreamed that another child was sent away, so he woke up from the nightmare. After waking up, he found that his roommate Song Xingyu had disappeared, and there was some movement in the living room outside the room. .He got up, half asleep and half awake, and left the room. There was no one in the living room, and the sound came from the balcony.

"What are you doing?" Bai Chumu walked into the balcony, lying on the balcony like everyone else, looking at the official car that was fading away.

When Bai Chumu asked, the children who had just stopped for 2 minutes started crying again.

"Xiaoqian...was sent away." Chen Ziheng was the oldest and most sensible among the group of children. Facing the sudden parting, although he was very sad in his heart, as an older brother, he had to recover as soon as possible.

Hearing Chen Ziheng say that Ling Tongqian was sent away, Bai Chumu still didn't believe it for a while, and counted the number of friends present several times with his eyes, counting himself, there were only six, one less, less That child is Ling Tongqian.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Bai Chumu tried to make his voice sound calmer, but the red eyes revealed his true reaction.

Chen Ziheng: "Xiaoqian said he was afraid that he would be reluctant to leave when he saw you."

Bai Chumu: "That means, he was willing to leave without seeing me, right?"

"Brother Xiaobai, don't be sad, and don't blame Brother Xiaoqian." Song Xingyu was the youngest among them, the youngest, but in this situation, he still comforted Bai Chumu while crying, and plunged into Bai Chumu's mouth. In Mu's arms, he refused to let go no matter what.

Bai Chumu hugged Song Xingyu, he was so sad that he couldn't speak, his throat was sore, he looked up at the starry sky to keep the tears from falling from his eyes.

That night, Bai Chumu stayed up all night and cried all night.
