weird

Chapter 12

The mobile phone was turned on to amplify, and the air suddenly became a little tense. Several people standing within two meters stopped talking, and everyone loved to join in the excitement.

In this slightly electric child's laughter released through the network cable, the solemnity is like a hardened corpse, and the curving arc of the upward corner of the mouth is perfect. Even if he has not seen it with his own eyes, he can feel it. How many pairs of eyes watching the theater are pierced on him.

Chu Chen was a little taller than Zhuang Yan. He half lowered his eyes and looked at the unexpected guest: "What are you doing?"

His tone was very calm, the kind of calmness that he asked casually without expecting an answer, but it was thorny in Zhuang Yan's ears automatically.

Zhuang Yan raised his chin and smiled, "Look at the cute kids, let's say hello."

As he spoke, he spread the remaining three fingers, shook them, and turned his eyes at the camera in a business style: "Hi."

Mostly the handsome guy always took advantage. Although his face was unfamiliar, he waved his hands hesitantly, stared at Zhuang Yan and smiled again.

He didn't laugh out loud, his laughter was very restrained, his voice was very low, his smile was shallow, even short, but he could still see his joy.

Pointing at the camera, he spoke in a low and slow voice: "Little brother Shen, this brother is a bit like a snowball."

After speaking, stretch out a few fingers and bend them, simulating two rabbit ears.

Zhuang Yan was startled: "Who is Xueqiu?"

Fang Wenqi propped himself against the wall, took the initiative to take half a step away, and said, "He should be talking about Snowball, the villain in a cartoon, who is... a rabbit."

"Rabbit?" Zhuang Yan frowned, and repeated in disbelief: "The villain."

I was so shocked that I almost broke my voice.

Tingting noticed that he was unhappy, shrank his neck, and muttered softly: "It's more like being angry."

solemn:"……"

The so-called innocence of children's words, solemnity cannot be angry with children, and the unknown fire rising in the chest can only be suppressed violently by one's own strong willpower.

He saw that the two boys closest to him were pursing their lips, their facial muscles twitching strangely. Zhou Dize even turned his back on him, his shoulders were shaking non-stop.

Zhuang Yan felt ashamed, but fortunately Chu Chen's ice face was very calm. He stared at him for a few more seconds to make sure that the other party didn't mean to make fun of him, then pushed Chu Chen away with a livid face, and entered the classroom with heavy steps.

Before leaving completely, he heard Chu Shen's low voice behind him: "Listen, don't be rude next time."

He couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Cut it, pretend to be a jerk, why did you go so early.

Zhuang Yan's sulking air, which had nowhere to vent, lasted until night, during which time he was extremely irritable, and his whole body was filled with a terrifying aura of whoever dares to mess with me and who would die. Yu Lu sat next to him in trepidation, not daring to speak. Said that after Zhou Dize accidentally stepped on the tiger's tail and was dealt with severely, he spent the whole afternoon peacefully.

He wasn't angry with the kid for his unintentional words, he just felt shameless, and he was just trying to make fun of the idiot "Yeah".

A half crescent moon hangs outside the window frame, far away but very clear. Compared with the heavy fog a few days ago, the clouds are thinner tonight and the stars are scattered widely. In the middle of September, the night is already a bit cooler.

The night wind blew back his solemn and distant mind, he thought for a while, unlocked the lock screen of his phone, flipped through the WeChat chat box for a long time, found the column of Qiu Xinyu, and typed quickly.

[Double-Armed Condor Hero]: Sis, help me find a place.

Followed by a pleading stick figure emoji package.

[Qiu Xinyu]: Brat, I'm just getting ready to get off work!Let me talk about the place first, it depends on the mood.

[Condor Hero with Two Arms]: Little Sun Welfare Institute.

This was written on a small sign hanging on the wall behind him when he was talking to his children, and he memorized it by accident.

[Qiu Xinyu]: Why are you checking this?

[Double Armed Condor Hero]: The social investigation assignment arranged by the teacher, hey, don't ask so many questions, hurry up and check it out for me.

Qiu Xinyu agreed without saying a few words, and Zhuang Yan felt relieved, half of the heavy stone in his heart was lifted.

He has always been indifferent to many people and things, but the fact that Chu Chen is an orphan stuck in his throat like a giant thorn, and he couldn't vomit or swallow, which was especially uncomfortable.

Not long after the evening self-study, as soon as he stepped out of the school gate, Qiu Xinyu's investigation results were sent to Zhuang Yan's mobile phone.

He originally wanted to find out if the so-called orphanage had any real relationship with Chu Chen, and asking Qiu Xinyu to check it was just a temporary idea, but he didn't expect the short paragraphs sent by the other party, and his mood sank completely. His brows were furrowed.

Little Sun Orphanage was just registered ten years ago. Before that, this two-story building housing more than 20 homeless children was just a nameless building with no name.

According to records, this old building in the suburbs is 25 years old or even longer.

The head of the orphanage is Lin Ruoping, 55 years old, who began to take in children abandoned by their parents in this city 25 years ago.In the list of newly recorded children, the oldest and the youngest are two years old.

Zhuang Yan found Chu Chen's name at the end of the second page.

For some reason, his hand holding the phone trembled.

When he heard Zhou Dize talk about this in the morning, he actually felt a little bit weak in his heart. Chu Chen was not an orphan's expectation. This feeling came very inexplicably. He pointed out, but he had such an expectation, but this expectation was completely defeated. Chu Chen is indeed an orphan. He has lived with many people in a small crowded building since he was a child.

He continued to flip back, and the title on the last page was particularly eye-catching: List of Adoption Records.

He saw a somewhat familiar name in the middle of the list—Fang Wenqi, but it was only familiar, and he couldn't match his face. Then, he saw the word Chu Chen on the second half of the page, and saw it twice.

The first time was when Chu Chen was in elementary school, and the second time was in junior high school.

Solemnly took a deep breath, retreated, and guessed in his heart that Chu Chen should have been adopted twice, and the time was not long, less than a year, and he was retired for some reason halfway through.

Every night, Zhuang Yuan would prepare a glass of milk and send it to Zhuangyan's room, and took this opportunity to inspect and judge what he was doing now and how long he spent playing on the computer.

Zhuang Yan was very helpless every time, he didn't like the taste of milk very much, but he was able to drink it reluctantly due to the pressure from his sister's eyes.

But tonight Zhuang Yan didn't force himself to drink at all. He drank very quickly. When Zhuang Yuan smiled and went out with the cup and told him to go to bed early, he lay on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth and couldn't help thinking: "If you are in the orphanage Life, do you have milk to drink at night?"

I don't know if the orphanage has milk at night, but there is a group of squeaking and tireless electric tops. The whole second floor is terribly noisy, with crying, laughing and fighting.

Chu Chen went to the kitchen to steam the steamed buns he had brought back until soft, searched through the cupboards, fished out a bowl of tofu soup with a little bit of tofu dregs left in the corner, and patiently reheated it out of the pot, then took the soup and steamed buns, He knocked on the door of Lin Ruoping's room.

Lin Ruoping opened the door, "He came here on leave."

Chu Chen nodded.

"Little Brother Shen."

Tingting rubbed his eyes, knelt on the side of the bed and called him obediently.

Chu Chen put the steamed buns and soup on the small wooden table next to the bed, and said to him, "Come over for dinner."

Hearing the sound of "Oh" with low eyebrows, he slowly gnawed on the steamed bun.

Lin Ruoping smiled from the side: "It's up to you, this kid is too stubborn, no matter how hard I try to persuade him, he won't be able to persuade him."

Chu Chen's face was calm, he raised his hand to rub the child's furry head, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Lin Ruoping sighed, went to the desk to fetch a piece of paper, "Because of this."

Chu Chen took it over and took a look, and saw a series of musical notes and lyrics marked on the paper.

"Isn't it almost National Day? Several elementary schools in this area have jointly organized a singing event, and they specially handed me an invitation. I saw that these children were very happy to hear the news, so I agreed." Lin Ruoping said: "This song After practicing for several days, I still can’t sing after listening to it, and I was laughed at by Huahua and Xiaopi several times, and I refused to open my mouth for these two days.”

Hearing this, Chu Chen looked carefully at the lyrics, then at the child who was about to look at him timidly after taking a bite, and nodded: "I see."

He said, folded the paper and put it in his pocket.

"Is the school okay? Are you used to living in dormitories?" Lin Ruoping asked.

Chu Chen responded with an "um" and was stopped by Lin Ruoping's exclamation when he was about to go out.

"What's wrong with your clothes?" Lin Ruoping pointed to the ugly bastard on the back of his school uniform and the unbearable swear words on the side, a little excited, "Did you get bullied by someone?"

Chu Chen took off his coat, stared deeply at the school uniform for a while, clenched his fingers tighter and tighter, but shook his head calmly: "No."
