Pretend to B

On Saturday, He Chi went out early in the morning.

He and Su Xing made an appointment at ten o'clock on Sunday morning to meet under the fountain at the center of Moon Street.

Moon Street was the place where he lived when he was a child, and he lived here with Guan Xinxin before he was taken into the He family.

He Chi walked along Moon Street. He hasn't come back for more than ten years. The place hasn't changed much. There are more pink candy shops on the side of the road. Maybe Su Xing will like it; The shop, Su Xing must love the sweet soup inside.

He revisited the route of this street by himself first, thinking that he would take his star and walk through this street together tomorrow.

He Chi has never been in a relationship before, so he doesn't know what kind of occasion is suitable for confession, and he doesn't know what kind of romance Su Xing likes.

It was the first time he felt this kind of mood. He was anxious and excited at the same time; he wanted to come tomorrow quickly, but also wanted to come tomorrow slowly.

After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to bring Su Xing to this street.

The moon and the stars are meant to be a couple.

After working all day, making all the arrangements for tomorrow, Guan Xinxin called him in the evening, complaining that he hadn't come home for more than a month.

"Next week," He Chi tilted his head, holding his phone between one shoulder and his ear. He was picking flowers in a flower shop. He pointed a white bellflower with his index finger and said to the clerk, "Light colored ones, he Not a lively character."

The lady clerk was wearing an off-white apron and a red bow on her head. She smiled and said, "Then I'll match you with baby's breath."

He Chi nodded.

"Next week and next week, every time next week!" Guan Xinxin was a little impatient, and said quickly in a low voice, "What are you busy with! You don't even want your mother?"

He Chi helplessly defended: "I really have something important to do this weekend."

He Zhou's voice came from the other end of the phone, and he asked disappointedly, "Is my brother still not going home this weekend?"

"No, no, brother will definitely be home this week." Guan Xinxin comforted him softly, then changed his tone, and asked He Chi sternly, "I'll be back tonight, do you hear me?"

The clerk was asking He Chi if he wanted to write something on the card. He Chi raised his palm and signaled the clerk to wait for him to write it himself; To the extent that he was going to sever the mother-child relationship with him when he went back, He Chi could only respond with a frown: "Okay, okay, I'll go back in a while."

After getting an affirmative answer, Guan Xinxin hung up the phone with satisfaction.

The clerk picked out a bunch of white bellflowers for him, paired with forget-me-nots and baby's breath.

"Sir, are you giving it to your girlfriend?" the clerk asked casually while entering the bill on the cash register.

"Give it to your boyfriend." He Chi wrote a sentence on the card and said with a smile.

"You are so handsome and considerate, your boyfriend must be very happy!" the clerk smiled and said enviously.

He Chi smiled and shook his head: "He's more handsome than me, better than me."

The clerk covered his mouth and laughed, and said, "Tomorrow at 10:30 am, will it be delivered to the fountain in the middle of the street?"

After He Chi paid the bill, he confirmed the time and place with the clerk again and again, and then left the flower shop.

After taking a taxi back to the He family's villa, He Lei spends [-] days a year discussing business outside. Besides the nanny, only Guan Xinxin and He Zhou are left at home.

The three of them sat at the huge dining table, and Guan Xinxin was as attentive as ever, serving vegetables and soup for Hezhou, taking care of everything.

"Your father said that your motorcycle was dragged away by the traffic police last time." Guan Xinxin finally diverted his energy from He Zhou to He Chi, "I still asked Uncle Li to help you get it back."

"En." He Chi uttered a single syllable.

Guan Xinxin said: "In the future, don't ride your motorcycle anymore. It's only used by gangsters in the society. When Uncle Li told your father about this, he was already very angry."

"Oh." He Chi still had the look of "I'll listen to what you say, you don't care if I change it or not".

Guan Xinxin held her breath in her heart.

He Zhou drank the soup slowly, watching the interaction between the biological mother and the child, he found this scene very interesting, so he laughed out loud.

"Xiaozhou, what's the matter?" Guan Xinxin was always very sensitive to Hezhou's every move.

He Zhou covered his mouth with his hand and said, "I'm so happy that my brother is back."

He Chi didn't even want to give He Zhou a look, he was the only one in the big restaurant thinking about the sound of the clashing of bowls and chopsticks.

Guan Xinxin was a little bit at a loss, she quickly smiled at He Zhou, the smile was a little embarrassed, with a hint of flattery.

He Zhou was used to He Chi's indifference, so he continued to drink his soup without changing his face.

"Oh!" Guan Xinxin suddenly remembered something during the meal, "I wonder if the pigeon soup for Xiaozhou is ready!"

"Ma'am, let me do it." The nanny who was standing aside hurried up.

"No, no, I'll do it myself." Guan Xinxin put down the dishes and went into the kitchen.

Only He Chi and He Zhou were left at the dining table. The two sat facing each other without saying a word, which seemed to be a bit of a confrontation.

"Brother," He Chi finished drinking a small bowl of soup, put the spoon on the side of the bowl, tilted his head slightly, and asked curiously, "Is life in high school fun?"

Without raising his head, He Chi replied perfunctorily, "General."

He Zhou didn't mind He Chi's indifference, and asked, "Brother, did you take the half-term exam yesterday? How did you do?"

"generally."

"I heard that a classmate is giving my brother extra lessons." He Zhou wiped the corner of his mouth with a small handkerchief, and said, "It must have helped my brother a lot."

He Chi reacted this time. He put down his chopsticks, raised his eyelids and looked at He Zhou, with a cold face, and asked in a deep voice, "How do you know this?"

He Zhou didn't answer He Chi's question. He curled the corner of his mouth with an innocent expression on his face: "Brother doesn't come home recently, is it also because of this classmate?"

He Chi leaned back on the chair with his upper body, with one hand resting on the edge of the table and the other on the back of the chair. He smiled with his lips curled up, but his eyes were frighteningly cold.

He lowered his voice and said word by word: "He Zhou, when will it be your turn to take care of my affairs?"

"Brother seems to be very wary of me..." He Zhou put his hands on his cheeks and looked distressed, "I'm just a useless person who can't even walk, brother don't have to be so afraid of me, right?"

"Here we come!" Guan Xinxin came out of the kitchen wearing oven gloves and carrying a casserole. "The heat is just right."

He Zhou took a deep breath and praised: "It's really delicious."

"Xiaozhou drink more, Auntie will serve it for you." Guan Xin was overjoyed, and in a blink of an eye saw He Chi leaning lazily on the back of the chair, not sitting, and shouted in a low voice, "Xiao Chi, sit upright! What is it like, if your father sees it, he will say you again!"

He Zhou took the initiative to rescue He Chi, and said in a gentle voice, "My brother was talking to me about school affairs just now, it's very interesting."

He Chi sneered: "Mom, I'm full, I'm going back to my room."

At night, He Zhou knocked on the door of He Chi's room.

"Brother, are you in there?"

He Zhou knocked three times, but no one in the room responded.

He pressed the handle, but the door was unlocked, so he opened the door lightly, and entered He Chi's room in a wheelchair.

There was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, and there was hot air on the glass door. He Chi was taking a shower.

He Zhou looked around, first picked up the wallet that He Chi had thrown on the table, opened it, and saw that there was nothing in it except cash and credit cards.

He laughed to himself, thinking that he was too old-fashioned, and now no one would play the old-fashioned fun of putting group photos in his wallet.

He maneuvered the wheelchair around the room, lifted a corner of the quilt, and finally found He Chi's cell phone.

He picked it up and saw that the screensaver was still the same picture, a star in the night sky.

According to Mr. Liu, He Chi's deskmate is called "Su Xing".

He Zhou smiled inexplicably, swiped his finger to turn on the screen, and the phone prompted to enter a six-digit password.

He Chi is very simple, and the password he set must not be complicated.

He Zhou first tried to enter He Chi's birthday, but the phone displayed that the password was wrong.

He did not rush, and then entered "123456", the result showed that the password was still incorrect.

He raised his eyebrows, pressed six zeros, and the phone was finally unlocked.

He Zhou directly clicked into WeChat, and He Chi put a person on top to chat. This person was called "Star", and his avatar was exactly the same as He Chi's phone screen saver.

The smile on He Zhou's face deepened. He clicked on the chat page, turned a few pages forward, and saw the full chat history.

——Little Zhuangyuan, bring me some mints tomorrow

——I think I've become handsome again recently, what do you think?

——Why don’t you drink the milk I bought for you?Do you hatch eggs in a drawer?Arms are not as thick as chopsticks, you are a picky eater

——Last night, I looked at my phone and said that eating too much sugar is not good. You should drink less soy milk in the future, and reduce it by half a spoonful first.

——Teacher Su, haven’t you read today’s text yet?I can't sleep without hearing your voice

——There are stars in the sky today, have you seen them?

……

He Chi chatted with this "Star" in an intimate tone, and the indulgence and love in his words almost broke the screen and overflowed.

He Zhou laughed while watching, his eyes gradually turned cold.

He directly pulled the chat page to the bottom. The most recent conversation happened half an hour ago.

Second uncle of your father: Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, don't forget

Second Uncle Your Dad: I have something very important to tell you in person

Star: I remember it, I will never forget it.

Ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

He Zhou's index finger stayed on these words for a second, and he said this time silently several times in his heart.

At this moment, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped abruptly.He Zhou didn't panic at all, calmly put the phone back to its original position, covered the quilt, and then quietly exited He Chi's room, closing the door gently.

It was as if no one had entered the whole room. The checked wallet and mobile phone were in their original places, and even the folds of the sheets seemed to be exactly the same as before.

After He Chi took a shower, he wiped his hair carelessly with a towel, then lay down on the bed, opened WeChat, stared at Su Xing's profile picture and posted for a while, not knowing what was going on, he felt something was wrong just looking at it, That hot feeling came again, and he hadn't seen each other for a day, but he couldn't help it, so he sent Su Xing a WeChat message when he had nothing to say.

Your second uncle: I drank a cup of soy milk in the morning, it was not as sweet as the one you bought, it was so bad

Your father's second uncle: it's all your fault

It took a few minutes for Su Xing to reply to the message.

Star: ... none of my business

Second Uncle Your Dad: Why are the ones you bought so sweet?

Second uncle of your father: Do you think you drugged me?

He Chi licked his lips and typed a line - "Otherwise, why would I think you are the sweetest in the world?" His fingertips stayed on the green "send" button for a few seconds, and finally deleted the line up.

Forget it, I'll tell him when I meet tomorrow.

Su Xing didn't know how he was charged with such a crime of poisoning. He smiled, turned over, and typed on the bed.

Star: down

Star: I gave you a drug that will make you brainless

He Chi licked his canine teeth, and replied:

Second Uncle Your Dad: What did you do today?

Star: did nothing

In fact, Su Xing has done a lot of things. He first went to the store to buy some clothes. The clerk asked him what occasion he wanted to wear. He thought for a long time, but he didn't know how to describe what kind of occasion he would meet with He Chi tomorrow, so he replied : "It's more formal."

The clerk understood, took him to the suit area, and gave him a formal suit that didn't look too old-fashioned.

Su Xing was taken aback, waved his hand and said, "Be more formal, but you can't make the other party feel formal."

The clerk was at a loss, and no customer had ever made such a request.

Seeing her difficult expression, Su Xing also felt that this request was a bit unreasonable. He smiled, and secretly laughed in his heart that he saw He Chi every day, so why did he do it so deliberately this time.

He doesn't have much experience in shopping. Usually, he goes to the wholesale market to choose a monochromatic and fit-for-purpose clothes, but this time it's a little different.

I want He Chi to see him at his best.

Su Xing picked and chose, and finally chose an off-white sweater and black slim-fit pants.

He Chi leaned against the bed and turned off the headlights in the room, leaving only a dim yellow nightlight.

Your second uncle: I didn’t do anything, I only did one thing

Star: What?

Your second uncle: wait for you

Then there was silence on the other side. He Chi waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Su Xing's reply, so he continued to send messages.

Your second uncle: the weather is bad tonight, there are no stars

Your second uncle: tomorrow

Star: How do you know?

Your second uncle: I just know

He put the phone in his pocket, wondering why he didn't know.

Starting tomorrow, this star will belong to him.

In the huge villa, there was another room where the lights were not turned on.

He Zhou sat by the window, his figure sank in the darkness.

He looked out of the window, the night was already very deep, today was a cloudy day, the night sky was pitch black, not a single star.

He picked up a long stick hanging by the window, and suddenly pushed the window open, the cold wind howling rushed in, rolling up the fluffy gauze curtain.

The gauze curtain brushed over He Zhou's face, covering his gloomy eyes.

"Tomorrow at ten o'clock."

He Zhou opened his mouth and read it softly.

He pushed the wheelchair to the edge of the bed, and there was a black and white photo of a woman on the wall facing the bed.

He Zhou supported the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands, and tried to stand up with a ferocious face, but his legs were numb. The long-term indoor life made his health worse and worse, and his arm muscles gradually lost strength. fell back into the wheelchair.

He Zhou panted heavily. He looked up at the photo and asked, "Mom, why didn't they die in the first place?"

What is all this about.

Why can He Chi have everything? He has a mother, a healthy body, and a strong physique. He can run unscrupulously and live freely in the sun.

At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, He Chi will have more.

But he wasn't worthy.

He Zhou sat quietly. After a long time, he maneuvered the wheelchair into the bathroom, unscrewed the shower switch, and adjusted the water temperature to the lowest.

"Wow--"

Cold water poured from head to feet, and the chill started from the tips of the toes and spread to the limbs.
