Pretend to B

Su Xing planned the winter vacation for more than 30 days early.

An extracurricular tutoring class that I worked in before contacted him last month, and asked him to work part-time during the holidays, teaching two classes of physics for the first grade and chemistry for the third grade, every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday morning, four and a half days a week, A total of three weeks.In addition to this remedial class, Su Xing also contacted an online teaching center on the job search website, and taught online classes on it, three sessions a week, six hours, and recorded videos in advance on weekends. One-third of the head count.

If it was in the past, he could make full use of every spare minute, but this year He Chi wrote him a list, listing all the tasks that he is not allowed to do, including not being allowed to go out to distribute leaflets, Wearing doll costumes to hand out balloons, going on street parades for sales promotions, holding signs to pick up people at train stations, and a series of outdoor jobs, and one-on-one home tutoring is also not allowed, neither men nor women of any gender are allowed.

He felt it was funny, but also a little touched, and he knew that He Chi was pampering him like a young master, wishing he could wrap a blanket and hold him in his hand, for fear that he would be bullied outside in the wind and rain. Coupled with the fact that He Chi is very possessive, it's okay that he doesn't leave every step of the way at school, but when he goes out, he always feels that the whole world is coveting his family's beautiful little champion.

He Chi was used to him, and Su Xing was willing to spoil He Chi, so he agreed without any hesitation.

He Chi was very satisfied, clapped his hands on the table, and pretended to ask Su Xing to mark on the list, and he could not go back on his word if he pressed his fingerprint.

Su Xing: "How can I press without ink?"

He Chi took Su Xing's hand, first kissed him with a "boo-chih" on his thumb, and then grabbed his thumb and clicked on the list.

"The drawing is finished, and now this piece of paper has the force of law." He Chi folded the list twice and carefully put it in his pocket, "If you fail to do it, be careful and I will sue you."

"Childish." Su Xing laughed at him.

"Does the bet you draw by yourself count?" He Chi hooked Su Xing's neck from behind and teased him, "Huh? Does it count? Say it!"

He breathed out on his hands, and pinched Su Xing's waist twice. Su Xing was itching so badly, he hid while laughing, and begged for mercy, "It counts..."

Only then did He Chi let him go, and kissed Su Xing on the back of the head.

He Chi also has a vacation plan, which he named it famously, the Pig Raising Plan.

Su Xing didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "Where do you go to raise pigs?"

He Chi: "What kind of pig do you raise, I'll raise you."

Su Xing: "...you are the fucking pig."

He Chi's plan is to make Su Xing fatter. Su Xing is too thin now. With a thin waist, he still has enough room to hold it with one arm. There is no meat on his wrists, ankles, and only bones left.

He watched cooking teaching programs in front of the computer all day long, concentrated on studying the recipes, and said that he set a small goal for himself first, and put on Su Xing's weight by fifteen catties during the winter vacation.

Every morning He Chi went to the market to buy vegetables, and at noon he went to the Children's Palace to pick up Su Xing after class, and went back to the apartment to cook together.Ideals are beautiful, three dishes and one soup are nutritious, but He Chi's current level is still at the level of eggs, and he can't understand. Even breaking an egg and even half of the eggshell falls into the bowl. Su Xing can't see it. Will take over the kitchen.

It's been less than a week since the holiday, but Su Xing's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and he can make sweet and sour pork ribs neatly.

He Chi was a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to wash the dishes. After two days of washing, he found it annoying, so he went online and bought a dishwasher.

One day after dinner, the two of them were sitting on the sofa, the dishwasher was hard at work, He Chi patted his stomach, and sighed contentedly: "It's been hard work!"

Su Xing: "...brother, tell me what you have done to be so hard?"

He Chi: "That can't be finished."

Su Xing: "I cook the rice, and the dishes are machine-washed. What are you doing?"

He Chi immediately hugged him and acted like a baby, burying his head in his shoulder and rubbing it back and forth: "Why didn't you tell me that I went shopping for groceries? , did you hear that?"

Su Xing curled his lips: "Get lost, why didn't you tell me that you almost fell down while driving a motorcycle in an alley yesterday at noon to hide from the traffic police?"

He Chi plausibly said: "...Is that my fault? Who knew that the road was full of pits?"

Su Xing snorted coldly, and He Chi rubbed against him even more vigorously.

One night, Su Xing was awakened by a noise coming from outside the door.

He had always slept very lightly, and would be awakened by any movement. He lay on his back on the bed for a while, looking at the ceiling and listening to the rustling noises outside.

The glasses collided lightly, followed by the sound of the kettle pouring water into the glasses—it was Su Hong getting up to drink water at night.

Su Xing closed his eyes again, and pulled up the quilt a little.

Snapped--

The glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Su Xing covered his head with a quilt irritably, pretending not to hear.

Within two seconds of being stuffy in the bed, he was still worried, sighed, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

It was pitch black in the kitchen, only a little moonlight shone through the window and shone on the shards of glass on the floor.

Su Xing pressed the light, and Su Hong was squatting on the ground to pick up the debris. Her posture was a bit strange, her left hand was tightly holding the wrist of her right hand, and her fingers were a little stiff.

The fluorescent light suddenly turned on, she was startled, looked up and saw that Su Xing was a little flustered, the corners of his mouth moved a few times in disorder, his right hand shook uncontrollably, his fingertip was scratched by a sharp fragment, a huge blood Beads are scrambling to go out.

"Don't move!"

Su Xing yelled at her, found a pack of Band-Aids in the box in the living room, trotted to the kitchen and squatted down.

"I'll do it myself." Su Hong said.

Su Xing tore off the Band-Aid wrapping without raising his head: "I'll do it, don't move."

He carefully wrapped Su Hong's injured index finger. Su Hong's remaining four fingers remained unnaturally stiff. Su Xing felt something was wrong and asked, "Is it burning?"

Su Hong quickly withdrew her hand: "No."

"Let me see."

He grabbed Su Hong's right hand, and Su Hong let out a cry of pain.

In fact, Su Xing didn't exert much force. He didn't expect to hurt Su Hong. He was stunned for a moment, and let go of his hand a little at a loss.

Su Hong put her right hand behind her back, her eyes wandered, she first glanced at Su Xing's face, then immediately looked away, and put her right hand behind her back.

"Leave me alone."

After a long silence, Su Hong spoke.

Su Xing's throat was tight, and his eyes were a little hot. He clenched his fists, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "You are my mother, I don't care about you, who cares about you?"

The mother and son squatted facing each other, stepping on the shards of glass, neither of them spoke.

Su Xing quickly calmed down. He glanced at Su Hong's face, only to find that her face was extremely flushed, but her lips were pale and the corners of her mouth were chapped.

He leaned over and touched Su Hong's forehead with the back of his hand, it was a little hot.

"Fever."

Su Hong was startled. She shook all over, pushed Su Xing's shoulder with her left hand, and screamed, "Leave me alone! I don't understand!"

Su Xing was pushed by him, and his center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground. He supported the ground with both hands, and the glass shards pierced into his palm. .

Su Hong's lips moved twice, and she grabbed her hair helplessly, but she grabbed the hair that fell out.She got up in a panic, subconsciously stretched out her right hand to help him, a sharp pain came from her wrist joint, she retracted her hand weakly, her voice trembling: "You, are you okay?"

Su Xing lowered his head, Su Hong couldn't see his expression, he sat on the ground, pointed in the direction of the living room, and said without emotion: "Go back, I'll clean up."

Su Hong went back to her room, and just as she closed the door, she heard a loud noise from outside.

It was the sound of plastic kitchen chairs hitting the ground heavily.

Su Xing picked up the debris into the trash can, took a pack of tissues, knelt on the ground, and wiped off the water bit by bit.

After finishing this, he sat against the wall for a while. The light bulb in the kitchen was just changed a few days ago. It was bright and dazzling.

He stared straight at the light bulb with his eyes open, and felt like crying because of the light. He raised his hand to cover his eyes with the back of his hand, and when he closed his eyes, the person who appeared in his mind was He Chi.

Thinking of He Chi, he felt better.

Su Xing boiled a pot of water, found a box of cold medicine in the box, checked the expiry date, and found that it was still edible. He soaked the medicine, took another piece of bread, put them together on the coffee table in the living room, and knocked twice The door of Su Hong's room, and said: "The granule is ready. It is on the table. Eat bread to cushion your stomach before taking medicine. Don't worry, I don't care about you. I will go to the doctor by myself when the sun rises."

After saying this, he went straight back to his room without waiting for Su Hong to answer.

It will be six o'clock in the morning, and in one hour, he should get up and go to work.

He was lying on the bed with his eyes open. It was the end of January, and it was still completely dark, with no light at all.

He suddenly missed He Chi very much, and he had met him before tomorrow, but he just missed He Chi, even if he just talked to him.

There was a faint tingling sensation from the place where the palm was cut, he raised his arm in the dark, squinted at the palm, and self-willedly thought that there was finally a reason to go to He Chi.

Su Xing dialed He Chi's phone, but it took a long time to pick up the ring. He Chi was still sleepy, and asked hoarsely, "Hello? Baby, what's the matter?"

"I'm hurt, it hurts." Su Xing lay on his side, sandwiched the phone between his ear and the pillow, and whispered.

"Injured?!" He Chi woke up instantly, and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Where is the injury? Is it serious?"

"It's not serious, it just hurts a little." Su Xing curled up his legs and licked his lips, "And I just miss you."

"Where are you?" There was a rustling voice from He Chi's side, he should have gotten up, "Are you home? I'll pick you up by car."

"At home," Su Xing said, "we'll go out at the same time, so we'll take the same path we usually take, and see where we meet, okay?"

"No!" He Chi said, "Just stay still and wait for me at home. I'll be there in ten minutes. Wear thicker clothes."

"I can't wait that long, I just want to see you soon," Su Xing smiled and said, "Don't drive too fast, remember to watch the road, I'm on the way."

"Don't worry," He Chi said with a smile in his voice, "If you miss anything, you can't miss my little star."

Su Hong didn't sleep all night. She lifted the long hair that covered her side face, and a red spot appeared on the tip of her eyebrows. It was very light in color and small in size. She didn't feel it when she touched it, neither hurt nor itchy.

She knew that this was not an ordinary skin disease. She used up two tubes of erythromycin this month, but it didn't work at all.

She also knew that this was not an ordinary joint pain, her whole body's bones were against her, without any pattern, it could happen anytime on sunny or cloudy days.

Recently, she often suffers from dizziness. She bought a bottle of eye drops, but no matter how much she dripped, she couldn't relieve it.

She pulled out a small locked box under the bed, opened the box, there were several bank cards inside, and a photo was pressed at the bottom, which was her wedding photo.

Su Hong took out all the bank cards and stuffed them into her wallet. She had to go to the hospital for a careful examination. Nothing happened to her, and her son was not even an adult yet.

In that old photo, she was wearing a simple wedding dress, which was loose and loose, with a white gauze belt tied around her waist. Her eyebrows were very thinly patterned, which was a popular style at that time.Her husband was not handsome, so he borrowed a suit from a co-worker, wore a red tie, and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes.

Su Hong didn't dare to look at it any more, she put the photo upside down in the box with trembling fingertips.

Even if she wants to die one day, she still has to wait until she sees Su Xing leave here with her own eyes, and when he is admitted to university, he can live a decent life.Otherwise, she would have no face to go down to meet the other person in the photo.

She had just changed her clothes when there was a knock on the door.

Looking through the cat's eyes, the person who came was a man, whom she knew well.

Su Hong took a deep breath, pulled out a charming smile, let go of the rubber band, and opened the door with her hair down.

"Brother Wang, why did you come here without saying hello?"

The man named Brother Wang pinched her chest with a cigarette in his mouth, and said with a smile, "I have other business with you today."

Su Hong welcomed him into the door, lit a cigarette, took a puff and asked, "What's the matter? Good or bad?"

"Can I have something bad with you?" Brother Wang put his arm around her shoulders, "I want to talk to you about business."

"Oh?" Su Hong raised her eyebrows, and casually flicked the cigarette ash on the ground.

"Is your son a beta?" The man smiled mischievously, and asked in a soft voice, "I know there are a few big bosses who want to find a beta for a change. I've seen your son, he is so beautiful..."

Su Hong was stunned for a moment, and immediately extinguished the cigarette.

"Don't worry, brother here guarantees you that nothing will happen to you. Just go and have a drink with me, at least this amount for one night!"

Brother Wang stretched out his palm and made a "five" gesture.

Su Hong's eyes turned cold, and she flicked her hair: "Brother, it's not like you don't know my son, he has a big temper, and no one in this area dares to recruit him."

"Maybe there is a boss who would like this," Brother Wang smacked his lips, "The main reason is to look good..."

"Okay, there's no need to discuss this matter." Su Hong refused involuntarily, "We'll just eat together, and those big bosses won't go no matter how much they give them."

Brother Wang was embarrassed, and wanted to say something to persuade Su Hong, but Su Hong opened the door directly, clearly meaning to chase away the guests.

Brother Wang was bored, cursed a few times, and reluctantly left with a beer belly.

Su Hong closed the door, trembling with anger. She thought beta was the safest, but she never expected that today would happen.

Distraught, she opened a bottle of wine and poured half of it into it.

This place can't stay anymore, she wants to save enough money as soon as possible, and take Su Xing away, the sooner the better.
