Pretend to B

He Chi set the alarm for 08:30, and was woken up before eight o'clock.

Various sounds came from outside the room, including footsteps, and many people talking in a hurry.

He was both excited and nervous last night, tossing and turning until after two o'clock in the morning before falling asleep, and now he was woken up, his brows were swollen.

After sitting on the bed for a while, he didn't know what was going on outside, and it didn't stop. He Chi pressed his temple helplessly, went to the bathroom, flushed his face, opened the door and saw that the nanny and Guan Xinxin were guarding the room in Hezhou. Outside the door, he looked anxious.

"Mom, what's going on?"

He Chi walked over.

"Xiao Chi..." Guan Xinxin was in a hurry, and when she saw her son when she was at a loss, she quickly grabbed He Chi's hand, "Xiaozhou, he has a high fever, what should your father do if he finds out? He must You'll feel that I didn't take good care of Xiaochi...and, what if the old man finds out?"

Guan Xinxin was anxious and frightened, tears were falling down, He Chi held her shoulders and comforted her: "It's just a fever, who doesn't have a fever, what's the matter. Has the doctor come yet?"

Guan Xinxin leaned on her son's strong shoulders, and finally calmed down a little. She nodded, "Here we are, Dr. Li and Dr. Wu are inside."

He Chi squeezed her shoulder reassuringly: "It's okay, don't worry."

Guan Xinxin sobbed.

At this moment, the door of Hezhou's room opened, and two doctors came out carrying the medicine box.

"Doctor, how is he? Are you okay?" Guan Xinxin asked quickly.

Dr. Li sighed: "The fever is very serious, and I received a fever-reducing injection. We suggest that it is best to go to the hospital for treatment. This season, influenza viruses are more common and can easily cause pneumonia."

Guan Xinxin stomped her feet: "Is he unwilling to go to the hospital?"

Dr. Li sighed lightly and nodded.

After the accident six years ago, He Zhou never went to the hospital again.

In his subconscious mind, his mother finally closed her eyes forever on the cold operating table in the hospital, and he also lost his legs in the pungent smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

The other Dr. Wu is a female doctor. When the previous mistress of the He family was still alive, she was already the family doctor here.

There are not many people that He Zhou really believes in, and she is one of them.

She glanced at Guan Xinxin reproachfully, and said coldly to the nanny: "In this weather, the window of his room was left open all night, he was not in good health, and the wind blew all night, how did you take care of him?"

Guan Xinxin flinched when she pointed at Sang and scolded Huai in her words too clearly.

He Chi took a half step forward, pulled Guan Xinxin behind him, and said, "He Zhou is no longer a child, and he needs help from others to sleep and close the windows."

Dr. Li sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and quickly came out to be a peacemaker: "Observe carefully these few days, it's not a big deal. Make sure he drinks plenty of water, takes medicine on time, eats a light diet, and takes his temperature in the afternoon. If it's over 38 degrees, call me immediately."

Guan Xinxin nodded quickly.

The nanny sent the two doctors out, and Guan Xinxin opened the door to go in. He Zhou lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face flushed unnaturally, his lips chapped, and he was lying sickly under the blanket.

Hearing the sound, he opened his eyes, opened his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice, "Auntie, brother."

Guan Xinxin stood by the door and asked hesitantly, "Xiaozhou, are you okay?"

He Zhou forced the corners of his mouth to smile and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry."

"I made pumpkin porridge, I'll get it for you." Guan Xinxin turned around and was about to go downstairs.

He Chi stopped her and said, "Mom, I'll go."

"Brother, can you stay and talk with me?" He Zhou said, "Staying alone is kind of boring."

He Chi stood still, Guan Xinxin pushed him on the waist, and said in a low voice, "Go!"

He looked at his phone, it was eight forty in the morning.

"Brother, sit down." He Zhou patted the edge of the bed.

He Chi didn't listen to him, took a chair and sat down beside the bed.

"Why don't you close the window?" He crossed his legs and asked in a deep voice.

He Zhou blinked, with a blank expression on his face: "I forgot."

He Chi snorted expressionlessly.

He Zhou said innocently: "I didn't take a nap yesterday, and I went to bed as soon as I got back to my room at night, so I forgot to close the window."

Guan Xinxin went upstairs with a bowl of porridge and side dishes. He Chi held He Zhou's arm, picked him up from the bed, and leaned against the head of the bed.

He Zhou was very weak, just moved a little like this, fine cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his hands were trembling while holding the bowl.

Guan Xinxin took the bowl and spoon and wanted to feed Hezhou.

He Chi looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock, Moon Street was not far from here, it took less than half an hour to get there by taxi, and he still had time to arrive before the appointed time.

He turned around and was about to leave when He Zhou's voice came from behind him: "Brother, feed me, auntie wakes up early in the morning to take care of me, it's too hard."

He Chi put his hands in his pockets without turning his head: "I have something to do, I'm in a hurry."

He Zhou lowered his head in disappointment: "I had a dream last night when I was a child. My father drove me to Moon Street to find my brother to play with. My aunt was there. I also dreamed about my mother. My mother said she was very unhappy..."

Guan Xinxin trembled when she heard the words, some of the porridge in the bowl spilled on her tiger's mouth, she put down the porridge bowl in a panic, ignoring the pain in her hand, trotted over and pulled He Chi's sleeve , half forcing and half pleadingly calling him: "Xiao Chi..."

He Chi pushed her hand away, frowning: "Mom, I really have something urgent."

"Just this time, the last time!" Guan Xinxin whispered tremblingly, "Mom, please, please, please?"

In the past few years, he has heard countless "last times". He Chi opened his mouth, but seeing Guan Xinxin's pleading eyes, he swallowed the heavy words again.

After all, this is his mother.

He took a deep breath, strode back to the bed, picked up the bowl, and ordered stiffly: "Eat."

He Zhou nodded obediently.

He ate very slowly, as if it took a lot of effort to swallow. Every time he took two mouthfuls of porridge, he had to lean against the head of the bed to rest for a while.

The time was close to [-]:[-], every second was infinitely extended, He Chi lost his patience, speeded up his hand, and handed spoonful after spoonful to He Zhou's lips.

He Zhou turned his head and said, "I can't eat anymore."

He Chi put down the bowl and said coldly, "Very good."

Before he could stand up, He Zhou continued, "After breakfast, it's time to take medicine."

He Chi put all the pills he wanted to take at one time into his palm, and stretched out his hand in front of him.

He Chi's attitude was tough, and He Zhou was not angry at all. He picked up his water glass, took a sip of water, took a pill, took another sip of water, and took another pill.

He Chi suppressed his anger, waiting for He Zhou to take his medicine slowly.

"Brother is in such a hurry, did you ask someone to meet?" He Zhou asked.

Time was running out, He Chi was in a hurry to go out, He Zhou wiped his mouth and said, "Brother, can you take me to the yard to bask in the sun? The room smells of germs."

He Chi refused bluntly: "No."

Footsteps were heard in the corridor, and He Zhou suddenly tilted his head, pointing to the black and white photos on the wall: "I'm sick, mom will be unhappy."

Guan Xinxin walked in with a wrung wet towel, and when she heard this, her whole body froze, and the towel in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Xiao Chi, hurry up and take Xiaozhou for a walk in the yard, hurry up!"

"It's fine if brother doesn't want to." He Zhou smiled very understandingly, "Can Auntie call grandpa over? Let grandpa come and accompany me."

Guan Xinxin pulled He Chi to the corridor and begged him: "You can't let the old man come over... You know that mom is most afraid of him, right? Just help mom, Xiaochi..."

He Chi only felt his temples throbbing, and he said, "Mom, I really..."

"Is there anything more important than mother!" Guan Xinxin interrupted him forcefully, and immediately choked up helplessly, "In this family, if you don't even help mother, then mother really..."

"Mom!" He Chi pinched her shoulder, "If I had known today, why did you want to... You gave birth to me just to have one more bargaining chip by He Lei's side, didn't you?"

Guan Xinxin trembled all over, and took a step back abruptly.

She followed He Lei in her early 20s, and she didn't even finish her studies, and she didn't even have a diploma.She's a useless Omega, she doesn't know anything, she doesn't understand anything, all she knows is that she can't leave her Alpha.

Even though she has been tormented for so many years, every night when she closes her eyes, the woman lying in the pool of blood appears in her mind, and she curses bitterly that she will never have peace day and night in this life, she still cannot do without He Lei.

"Just this time, Xiaochi!" Guan Xinxin grabbed his arm like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, "You have moved away, you have already left here, even this little thing Are you unwilling to do it for me? You are my son! You are the only one I can rely on!"

He Chi leaned against the wall, a sense of powerlessness swept over his body instantly, he clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

Su Xing followed the mobile phone navigation, and arrived at the fountain in the middle of the street at [-]:[-]. He was wearing an off-white loose round-neck sweater, paired with black slim-fit trousers, and his hair was softly resting on his forehead.The whole person is fresh and clean, and the indifference in his body, which is thousands of miles away, has been diluted by the smile in his eyes.

The little girls passing by the road all looked at him secretly, and a few brave ones mustered up the courage to strike up a conversation: "Little brother, can you add a WeChat?"

Su Xing politely refused: "Sorry."

The little girl blushed and ran away.

Su Xing came to Moon Street for the first time. The name of this place is very special, and it looks very special.

The exterior walls of each house are painted with different colors of wall paint. At a glance, the colors are colorful, and there is an illusion of breaking into a fairy tale world by mistake.

The hour hand on the clock tower had already turned ten. Su Xing was not impatient at all, and stood by the fountain and waited quietly.

He looked around, wondering which direction He Chi would come from, would he ride his motorcycle?I was detained by the traffic police last time, so I probably didn't dare to drive openly again.Will he come by taxi?The alleys here extend in all directions, and it is inconvenient for a car to drive in. He should have come here on foot like himself. Which alley will he appear from?

At a quarter past ten, his phone vibrated suddenly. It was a message from He Chi.

Second uncle of your father: I have something to do temporarily, wait for me

Su Xing smiled and replied him.

Star: Good.

Usually, He Chi would reply to his messages in seconds, but this time it took nearly five minutes before He Chi returned the message.

Your second uncle: wait for me

Star: ok, wait for you

Simple two words, no extra emoticons and symbols, a bit different from He Chi's usual chatting style, Su Xing didn't ask too much, since He Chi said he would wait for him, then he just waited where he was, He Chi would always here.

"Weird pheromone, a bottle of ten yuan is cheap!"

A peddler in a clown suit walks past pushing a cart piled high with labeled glass bottles.

The peddler saw Su Xing standing alone, stopped the car, sniffed his nose, and said with an exaggerated expression: "A handsome guy on a date? Such a handsome guy is actually a beta! Oh, what do you want for a bottle of strange-flavored pheromones?" There are all flavors, if you want to become an Alpha, you can become an Alpha, if you want to become an Omega, you can become an Omega, she attracts you with her smell, if it doesn’t work, I’ll give you my head as a ball!”

Su Xing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you become an Alpha by spraying it?"

The peddler patted his chest: "Of course! One spray can last for three hours!" He rolled his eyes, covered his mouth and whispered: "It can also aphrodisiac, beta is the best, it will give you unexpected passion!"

Ganqing is an aphrodisiac.

Su Xing waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it, but the peddler was relentless and insisted on not leaving. He said that beta was not good enough at all, that he was not active in bed, and a beta needed some small props to keep his partner.

"Spray it to add points to love; smell it to heat up love." The peddler flicked the fur ball on the clown's hat, promising it firmly.

Su Xing was so annoyed by him, it was the first time he met someone who was more capable of stalking than He Chi, he just wanted to get rid of this person quickly, so he let go and said to buy a bottle.

"Okay!" The peddler grinned, "What flavor do you want!"

"Whatever..." Su Xing paused, suddenly thinking of the breath he smelled under He Chi's coat a few days ago, "Is there that slightly bitter, burnt smell?"

The peddler rummaged through a bunch of glass bottles, took out a brown bottle, and said, "Have a good eye! Black coffee flavor, Alpha pheromone, strong taste! I have used it all and say it is good! Three times a night, once for half an hour is not a dream! Simulation!" Pheromone, once turned on..."

Seeing that his mouth opened and closed, and he was about to brag again, Su Xing got dizzy when he heard his voice, and couldn't hear what he said, so he hurriedly paid for the bill.

The peddler dragged the cart and left contentedly.

Su Xing shook his head, without looking at it, he casually threw the bottle of strange-smelling pheromone into the side pocket of his schoolbag.

At exactly 10:30, a girl in a beige apron with braids came out of the alley, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.

She looked on tiptoe in the direction of the fountain, walked up to Su Xing, and asked tentatively, "Do you know Mr. He Chi?"

Su Xing nodded and asked, "You are?"

The girl laughed and handed him the flowers she was holding: "This is for you."

Su Xing took the flowers: "For me?"

The girl nodded: "Mr. He Chi ordered it in our store yesterday, and it was delivered to the fountain in the middle of the street at 10:30. He also said that his boyfriend is more handsome than him. I knew it was you when I saw it. I can't be wrong. .”

Su Xing was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled.

"Huh?" The girl looked around, "Why didn't you see Mr. He Chi?"

"He has something to do, so he will be late."

The girl smiled and waved at him: "I have to go back to look at the store, handsome guy, I wish you and handsome guy He Chi happy forever!"

"Thank you." Su Xing said.

The girl ran away bouncing and bouncing, and Su Xing stood by the fountain with flowers in his arms.

He didn't understand these things, and he couldn't recognize what kind of flower it was, he just thought it was so beautiful in vain, and he didn't know how long He Chi had been picking this bouquet of flowers yesterday for such a rough person.

What age, still playing such an old-fashioned way.

The flowers are tied with a pink ribbon, tied in a delicate bow.Su Xing sighed helplessly, that guy's inexplicable pink hobby came again.

Looking carefully, there was a pink card inserted in the bouquet, he took it out and opened it, it was written by He Chi.

In just eight words, Su Xing read it several times.

His thumb lightly brushed over the inscribed name, and He Chi's precious heart, which he wrote carefully, hit the softest part of his chest through Mosuo's fingertips. place.

After a long time, he raised the corners of his mouth, with a soft smile in his eyes, and put the small card into the innermost layer of the backpack.

"The stars belong to you, and you belong to me".

Pushing He Zhou around the yard twice, and feeding him lunch, He Chi was in a hurry, but He Zhou asked his brother to play puzzles with him.

Time passed by every minute and every second. It was very windy today. He Chi was worried that Su Xing would wait for a long time and wanted him to go back first. He called Su Xing three times, but all of them showed that the phone was turned off.

After returning to the room, He Zhou took out a box from the cabinet and dumped the puzzles inside on the bed. There were a total of 3000 yuan.

He Chi's attitude was cold, even a bit harsh, but He Zhou didn't care, and still enthusiastically invited He Chi to fight with him.

He Chi walked to the bathroom, poured cold water on his face, supported the sink with both hands, and looked in the mirror.

It's past one o'clock in the afternoon, is Su Xing still waiting for him?Is he hungry or cold?Did he see the message he sent him later?Did he go home?Why doesn't he answer the phone?are you angry?Or is there another reason?

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Hezhou's clothes basket in the corner of the bathroom from the mirror. Usually, after he took a shower, he would throw the clothes he changed into there, and wait for the nanny to collect them the next day.

The clothes basket was made of cloth, and there was a dark mark on the edge, which was water stains.

He Chi went over to open the clothes basket, which contained the pajamas that He Zhou had just changed into after taking a bath last night, and they were all wet.

He sneered, walked out of the bathroom with a sullen face, and stood by the bed: "He Zhou, what exactly do you want?"

He Zhoubai was looking for a jigsaw puzzle on the top of the chimney, and he didn't even lift his head: "Brother, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"You made yourself ill on purpose just to tease me?"

He Zhou stopped what he was doing, and raised his head slowly, without the slightest embarrassment of the deception being exposed, he said calmly, "I just want to stay with my brother for a while, just like we did when we were young."

"He Zhou," He Chi bent slightly, looked into his eyes with cold eyes, "I've told you many times, your way of being neither yin nor yang is useless to me."

He Zhou smiled: "Why is it useless? You are afraid of me, your mother is also afraid of me, you are all afraid of me, this is what you owe me."

He Chi was stunned for a moment, and soon he stood up straight and said calmly, "I don't owe you anything."

After saying these four words, He Chi turned around and left without looking back.

There was the sound of the jigsaw puzzle being scattered all over the room.

He Chi took a taxi and went straight to Moon Street. In the car, he sent Su Xing a message, but Su Xing still didn't reply.

He was so anxious that he kept urging the driver to drive faster, but he passed a busy road on the road, and the traffic jam took some time. At 55:[-], the car finally reached the intersection.

The alley ahead was too narrow for cars to enter, so He Chi threw down a hundred-yuan bill and ran away without even asking for change.

To get to the fountain in the middle of the street, he had to go through three alleys, and he was sweating from the short distance of a few hundred meters.

Running out of the last alley, He Chi panted, looking for Su Xing's figure in the crowd.

At two o'clock, the bell of the Drum Tower rang on time, and the fountain sprayed out long and short water columns with a "wow".

He Chi looked around anxiously as he ran. There were many people coming and going. The running children excitedly pointed to the seven-color light reflected by the water column, and shouted that there was a rainbow while jumping; Put the first touch of red; the wandering man tremblingly takes out a coin from his pocket, throws it into the pool and makes a simple wish.

There are so many people, but there is no star for him.

At the end of November, all the passers-by wore thick scarves, only He Chi was covered in sweat.He searched around the fountain, but never saw the person he wanted.

Finally, He Chi stopped, sat on a stone bench by the street, and lowered his head weakly.

Maybe he couldn't wait for himself and had already left.

It's been so long, has he eaten yet?The wind is so strong, is it frozen?

I don't know... I don't know if he received that bouquet of platycodon flowers...

He gasped deeply, sweat flowed down his forehead and into his eye sockets, he was so irritated that he could barely open his eyes, He Chi raised his arm and wiped his eyes vigorously.

"Cried?"

A cold and indifferent voice suddenly came from in front of him, still in the same moodless manner.

He Chi was taken aback, opened his eyes, and saw a pair of white sneakers first, then a pair of straight and slender legs, wearing black slacks.

He raised his head, and Su Xing was standing in front of him holding a bouquet of flowers.

He was wearing a white sweater today, which made his whole body soft. The wide sleeves of the sweater covered half of his palm, leaving only five knuckle fingers exposed. The pink ribbon on the bouquet Wrapped around his little finger, inexplicably brought out a hint of tenderness.

"You..." He Chi opened his mouth, only to realize that his throat was sore, "You didn't leave..."

"I said I will wait for you," Su Xing said, "I will wait until you arrive."

"You don't answer the phone, I've been looking for it for a long time, I thought..."

After running just now, too much cold wind poured in, and He Chi realized that his voice was hoarse now, like an old accordion.

"What do you think? My phone..." Su Xing wrinkled his nose, a little embarrassed, "It's been used for too long, the battery is not working, and it can't stand the cold. It will automatically shut down after a long time of freezing."

He Chi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought..."

"I'm looking for a place to buy something." Su Xing smiled, took out something from his pocket, and handed it to He Chi, "It's a bit ugly, but I only found this, and it's for you."

He Chi took it, it was a very common folded greeting card, with a few kittens drawn on the red cover, sitting in a circle to celebrate the birthday of one of the cats.

He opened the greeting card and saw a line written by Su Xing.

The pen is sharp and the handwriting is clean and beautiful.

His name is written stroke by stroke in the place where the signature is signed, which shows the solemnity and seriousness of the writer.

Su, Xing.

Two words, sixteen strokes.

He Chi looked at it for a long time, a drop of sweat hanging from his chin shook a few times, and finally hit the greeting card with a "tick", casting a small light shadow.

"Are you really crying?" Su Xing teased him, "Answer or not, you give an answer first, and then cry after giving it."

He Chi raised his head, looked at Su Xing, and asked, "Where's your answer?"

Su Xing was holding the flowers, and he smiled so much that his eyes curled up, and the tear mole at the corner of his eye moved accordingly.

"Okay, it's yours."

He Chi also smiled, with his canine teeth pressed against his lower lip: "I'm yours too."

The greeting card was written in short seven words, plus a comma.

"The greeting card belongs to you, and you belong to me."
