Only Wing

Before going home that night, Chuga went to the Metasequoia forest to clean himself in an all-round way, and held back his shame and took off his trousers again.That feeling of humiliation came back to mind as the cold deodorant fell on the part that had been nearly forced into.

"... Forbearance is sometimes a kind of strength."

In the dark woods after sunset, these words appeared over and over in his mind.That was part of a notice issued by the Human Rights Commission for all betas this morning.

Since it is unbearable, there is no need to recall it.There is no way to retreat, so even if there is a swamp and tidal flat ahead, you must go down, why bother whether there was an abyss or a flood behind you.

Practice once again proved the powerful effect of the bottle of deodorant he bought. At least after returning home, his parents did not notice his abnormality.

Or the mother has been talking to the father so much that he doesn't have much time to pay attention to the son who just arrived home.

Taking advantage of this unnoticed time, Chuga prepared to quickly flash back to his room.But things backfired, and the phone rang suddenly when passing by the living room.

An 8-digit unfamiliar number appeared on the caller ID screen, but Chu Jia picked up the receiver habitually.Just as he opened his mouth to answer, his mother who was standing not far away suddenly muttered: "No need to answer."

Don't answer?

Chu Jia froze for a moment, but the voice of inquiry had already come out.There was silence on the other end of the phone for about a second before a man's voice asked, "Is Chuga there?"

Looking for me?Chu Jia was taken aback again, but his mouth had already answered.

"I am."

There was another second of silence on the other end of the phone, and then it was not a human voice that rang out again.

but a noise.

It's a bit like the rustling sound when the radio waves are disturbed, or the so-called overclocking music that children like to listen to. Just when Chuga was wondering, this noise was suddenly amplified dozens of times, and it became a piercing scream that attacked his right ear.

The ear canal seemed to be wedged with a sharp knife, and the eardrum hummed unbearably.Chuga yelled and dropped the microphone, but the horrible noise continued to reverberate and reverberate in his head, even making his eyes dimmed, losing his balance and squatting on the floor.

"Xiao Jia, what's wrong?!"

The mother was taken aback, and rushed to her son in a hurry.But her father stopped her and pressed her on the sofa, and he walked over in person instead.

"It's alright."

The always rigid father helped his son up, and then picked up the microphone hanging on the ground with one hand.

"Don't..." Chu Jia wanted to stop him, but his father had already pressed the microphone to his ear.

"The other party has hung up."

Chu Jia sat on the sofa in a daze, and after two or three minutes, the dizzy roar in his head gradually went away.He lowered his head and saw his mother's hand pressing on the back of his hand, conveying warmth and calmness little by little.

Only then did he vaguely remember that his mother had a heart attack, and he hurriedly looked up, and it turned out that her face was already pale and her lips were slightly blue.

"Mom, are you okay? Do you want to take a medicine?"

"No, just sit for a while." The mother smiled and shook her head, then touched her son's head with her hand: "What happened just now?"

Chu Jia recounted what he had just heard, worrying silently while speaking—could it be the pranks of the alphas in the school just now, this is really too rampant.

But what his mother said next dispelled his assumption.

"It must be the person in the afternoon."

The weird phone call started around one o'clock this afternoon.Calls about every hour or so.Both my father and my mother have received the call. Sometimes the other party hangs up without saying a word, and sometimes there are rustling noises with no clear meaning.

However, it was only this time that he asked "Is that Chuga?" and that terrible scream.

"This matter is obviously aimed at you." The father looked at Chu Jia and clearly stated his conclusion: "Did you offend anyone outside?"

"No." Chuga answered simply and neatly.

The harassing calls would come every hour, so at least when they were trapped in the gym, it was impossible for the three alphas to make calls.Except for them, Chuga is confident that he has never had any grudges with anyone.

"Someone must be eyeing our family's beta." Mother interjected, worried: "The commotion outside these days is really absurd..."

Father didn't speak any more, he was obviously also thinking about the worst possibility.He remained silent for about half a minute, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed an uncommonly used number.

That was his former student, the deputy mayor of the city and the chief of the Public Security Bureau.

After hearing the reason on the other end of the phone, he agreed very readily, and two policemen came to visit 10 minutes later.They first listened to Chuga's statement, and then recorded the number on the caller ID screen for follow-up investigation.

"It may be a prank by young people." A policeman said to Chu Jia's father: "You know, the recent situation is a bit sensitive. We also received reports of beta families being harassed by phone two days ago, but the noise was not released. This is the first time I have encountered this situation...but it is very easy to track down such calls, and I can guarantee that they will not call again."

After that, the two policemen also conducted a security check around the perimeter of the house, but did not find any suspicious signs.This house already has security surveillance, and my father also called the security company just now to ask them to temporarily increase the security surveillance level for seven days; and there are cameras on the roads within the residential area. If suspicious people approach, the community security will also come to the door. check.

With only one ambiguous harassing phone call, being able to be on guard to such a degree is even a bit suspected of making a fuss out of a molehill.But it was this kind of fuss that finally made Chu Jia regain some sense of security.

"Xiao Jia, don't be afraid if there is nothing wrong, no matter what happens, your parents will protect you."

The mother's complexion was not good, but she tried her best to comfort her son's emotions: "I see, starting tomorrow, your father will pick him up and drop him off from school."

"Mom, no, really no need."

Chu Jia helped her to sit down on the sofa again, while he stood behind the sofa and put his arms around her shoulders gently.

"If someone really wants to harm me, then they probably won't make that harassing phone call. I took the subway to school, and the security at the station has been strengthened because of what happened in the past few days. It would be very difficult for the bad guys to start. , Most of the students go back and forth by themselves, and I am not the kind of nobleman who kidnaps and has tens of millions of ransoms, and the car pick-up is so high-profile, if the students see it, the impact will be bad."

"That's right." The father who was standing aside actually nodded his head: "Shoot the bird with the gun, you can't make a high profile at this time."

It was rare to get his father's approval. If it were any other time, Chu Jia would have been so happy that he would have snickered.But this time, the reason why he was able to come to a mature conclusion that his father approved was because his immature approach had already brought him danger and lessons.

No wonder it is said that growth is built on setbacks, not victories.And growth is not always the process of making life more and more beautiful.

Compared with the delicate and beautiful flowers, many fruits are simple and even ugly, but they are the key to the continuation of life.
