Pretend to B

He Chi sang Gourd Baby every day, counting the days on his fingers.

On Wednesday, when school was over, Guan Xinxin drove to the gate of No. 36 High School.

She rolled down the car window and searched for He Chi in the crowd.

As soon as he left the school gate, He Chi saw Guan Xinxin's car. He paused first, and then took a step to the side to distance himself from Su Xing.

"Could you ride home by yourself today?" He Chi said to Su Xing, "Hey, I suddenly have something to do."

Su Xing also noticed the car parked at the school gate. He glanced at He Chi, took the bike and said, "Okay, then I'll go."

He pushed the car out of the school gate, and He Chi watched Su Xing get in the car and leave, before going out.

During this time, Guan Xinxin called him several times, saying that He Lei had been socializing a lot recently and often didn't go home.Because she didn't want to face He Zhou alone, she asked He Chi to go back.

This causal relationship has entangled He Chi for many years.

Because "Mom is afraid of Hezhou", "Xiaozhou wants you to come back", "The old man is here", "Your father is very angry with you", so He Chi has to listen to her.

At the beginning, He Chi still had some expectations, as long as she said "Because Mom misses you, you can come back and be with Mom", He Chi would willingly go back to that cold place.

But for seven years, He Chi had never heard this sentence once.

That little hope was originally a flickering flame, which was finally extinguished miserably in the wind.

He Chi knew that He Lei didn't have the so-called "too much entertainment" at all. He tried to ask Guan Xinxin if he would move out to live with him. The calls ended badly.

"Xiao Chi!"

Seeing He Chi coming out, Guan Xinxin poked her head out and called him.

He Chi walked to the car window and found that she had lost some weight and looked haggard.

"Why are you here?" He bent down and asked in a low voice.

"Get in the car and go home with me." Guan Xinxin asked bluntly.

"I'm going to have a monthly exam soon, and I've been very busy recently." He Chi frowned and refused.

"Since when did you start caring about the exam?" Guan Xinxin didn't believe him, "Is the one-month exam more important than your mother?"

Again.

Guan Xinxin always forces him to do such meaningless multiple-choice questions, and in this way emphasizes to He Chi that "nothing is more important than me".

He Chi felt a stone on his shoulder, he sighed lightly, straightened up and said, "Go back."

"I've come to pick you up, what do you want?" Guan Xinxin pressed her forehead with her palm, "Do you want me to kneel down for you at the gate of your school? Is it so difficult for you to go home?"

He Chi closed his eyes, turned around and left without saying anything.

"He Chi!" Guan Xinxin called out to stop him, "Can't you care about me? I'm your mother! I only have one son!"

He Chi's body suddenly tensed up, he felt his heart beating fast, and feelings of grievance and anger rose rapidly in his chest.

Why do you always have to pull him down?

He just wants to move forward like ordinary people of the same age, why do you always have to pull him?

Why is the person pulling him his mother?

There was no solution to these questions, He Chi was like a balloon that exploded after accumulating too much gas, his chest was full of stagnation.He suppressed his emotions, clenched his fists, turned and stared at Guan Xinxin: "Mom, can't you care about me? Do you remember when my birthday is? Do you know how many points I get in each exam? You Do you know what size shoes I wear when I like to eat or play? You know..."

Guan Xinxin opened her mouth, her eyes drifted, she subconsciously raised the car window—an act of self-protection in the face of an attack, and halfway through, she suddenly remembered that it was her son standing outside, so she pressed the window again in a panic. New, lower the window.

He Chi had already left, leaving him with a straight back.

He Chi walked back to the apartment, the aggrieved and angry mood just now calmed down a bit.

He could feel that Guan Xinxin became more and more paranoid, she was on the verge of death, and desperately pulled He Chi in.

He had already made up his mind on the way ahead, he would never give up his life, but he also couldn't calmly leave Guan Xinxin alone.

During those ten years on Moon Street, Guan Xinxin was really kind to him, and it was also the last memory of his "mother"'s warmth in his heart.

With his mind in chaos, He Chi took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Out of the business district, there was an intersection with no one in front of it. He Chi saw the bright red light through the smoke, his head felt hot, and for no apparent reason, he felt like "fuck it, don't block me, I don't care who you are, I'm going to break into it!" "The impulse.

He threw the cigarette, and the sole of his foot crushed the cigarette butt a few times. With 13 seconds left before the red light, He Chi took a step.

"Fool, red light!"

Suddenly a clear cry came from next to his ear, He Chi was taken aback for a moment, and retracted the foot he stepped out.

An arrogant convertible sports car roared past him, blowing up a cloud of smoke.

Sand got into his eyes, and He Chi rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. When he opened his eyes, he saw Su Xing under a tree beside the road. He was leaning on his bicycle, with a candy in his mouth, and half of his cheeks were bulging.

As the smoke cleared, so did the sense of chaos in He Chi's mind.

He strode over to Su Xing and said, "Didn't I tell you to go back first?"

"Oh," Su Xing asked with a smile, sucking on a mint, "Then I'm leaving?"

He Chi pulled Su Xing into his arms, bent his neck and buried his head in the socket of Su Xing's shoulder. He finally smelled the light mint aroma at the tip of his nose. He took a deep breath greedily and laughed silently.

"I forgot something," Su Xing said, "I'll ask you to make it up."

"What?" He Chi asked.

Su Xing turned his head to the side, accurately found He Chi's lips, and pressed them against him. The tip of his tongue penetrated into the gap between his lips, and He Chi's lips were held tightly by He Chi.

"I forgot to kiss you after eating candy," Su Xing said after the mint-flavored kiss, "I'll make up for today's sweetness."

He Chi froze for a moment, then kissed Su Xing preciously on the forehead.

The sweetness he gave today drove away all the bitterness.

"Go to my house for dinner?" Su Xing pushed the cart and walked side by side with He Chi, "My mom bought roast duck again."

"Go." He Chi laughed, "Auntie still remembers that I like roast duck?"

"Otherwise?" Su Xing raised his eyebrows, "Is there anyone else to eat the roast duck on the table every day besides you?"

"Yo," He Chi scratched the tip of his nose, "From the tone of his voice, I guess he's jealous, right?"

"..." Su Xing said, "No"

"All right, all right, all right," He Chi said, "There's a steamed stuffed bun shop in front, I'll buy you custard buns."

Su Xing stretched out three fingers.

He Chi: "OK?"

Su Xing: "...I want three."

"Little gluttonous pig," He Chi laughed at him, "Okay, wait, brother will buy it for you."

After returning home and having dinner, He Chi did his homework with Su Xing, then played tricks on Su Xing in the small room for a while, and left at nearly ten o'clock.

After He Chi left, Su Xing went to the living room and turned on the computer, sorted out the topics that he had searched online yesterday, and began to write the ideas for solving the problems.

This is a part-time job he just found a few days ago, editing a tutorial book for junior high school mathematics, he didn't tell He Chi about this.

While Su Xing had to take care of Su Hong, he had to take care of himself and He Chi's studies, and he also had to plan for the next school year's tuition.

Su Hong's small online store has just started, and its sales are mediocre, far from being able to make money.Coupled with her poor health, "sedentary" is a difficult thing for her.In the past, Su Xing only took care of himself to save money from part-time jobs. Now that the family's expenses are getting higher and higher, the money he keeps in his notebook is getting thinner and thinner.

Su Xing also signed up for a national physics competition, the finals of which will be held in the summer vacation, and the prize money will be generous.

Although a little tired, this kind of life is practical and stable.

Li Lang and Zhou Jinyan have a common secret. Their best friends are together, and they feel a desolate feeling of being abandoned out of thin air. When they have free time, they nest together to discuss "what the hell is love?"

The discussion went on and on, but the result always ended with Zhou Jinyan being so angry that Li Lang jumped.

Li Lang's father once mentioned it seemingly inadvertently, telling him not to hang out with He Chi all day long, he would be useless.

Li Lang patted his chest and said that it was impossible, He Chi is his good buddy!Besides, their family has such a good relationship with the He family, and He Chi is the young master of the He family, why can't he play with He Chi?

His father gave him an ambiguous look, saying that he would arrange for Li Lang to transfer to No. [-] Middle School at the beginning of next semester, and his tone did not allow Li Lang to refute.

Li Lang let out a "cut" and didn't pay much attention to it. His father also said so during the senior high school entrance examination, and he was not allowed to study in No. 36 Middle School in the end.

The days passed with the calendar on Su Xing's desk, the surface was calm but there were hidden waves.

In mid-May, people from the Capital Police Academy came to the No. 36 High School to advertise their enrollment.

The chief police officer is second to none among more than ten police academies in the country, and has produced many legends.Ordinarily, schools of this level would not come to No. 36 Middle School to recruit students, but I heard that a new police inspector came to the school this year. He believed that all students could become excellent police officers in the future, and they should not look at anyone with colored glasses.

Class [-] just finished physical education. On the way back to the classroom, they passed the school auditorium, which was full of high school seniors. The dean held a microphone and shouted passionately, "Everyone is welcome to actively ask questions!"

Su Xing glanced in from the window, and saw a man in police uniform sitting on the stage with his back straight.

He stopped.

"What's wrong?" He Chi asked.

"No," Su Xing said, "I saw someone I know."

The man on the stage had met him once in the hospital, and he was the husband of Brother Xiong from the pharmacy.

"Uncle Policeman," a boy raised his hand and asked, "Does the police officer have high grade requirements for the exam?"

The man stood up and answered, his every move was upright and serious.

"Referring to the previous year's score line, science subjects are required to at least meet the first line, and arts subjects are more than [-] points higher than the first line."

There was wailing below.

"I have a question!" Another girl raised her hand and asked, "Then do you recruit Omega? I heard that no military school or police school wants Omega."

The man picked up the microphone again. This question probably made him think of someone. His expression softened a little, and there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes.

"We don't discriminate against any gender. As long as they are capable enough, any gender can become an excellent police officer."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, looked around at the young students present, and paused when his gaze reached the window.

Su Xing smiled at him.

He remembered this young man, Su Xing's eyes and demeanor were very similar to his husband's when he was young.

He nodded slightly, and continued into the microphone: "There used to be an excellent police officer, the second gender was Omega, but he was better than any Alpha I've ever seen."

"Why in the past?" The girl continued to ask, "What about him now?"

"He retired from the team due to injury," the man said, "and is now my love."

He Chi still asked in Su Xing's ear, "Who is it?"

Su Xing smiled, hooked He Chi's little finger, and said, "Let's go, class is about to begin."

The author says:

The fifth class went to Africa for team building, but was taken away by cannibals.The chief said: "Who is Su Xing, stand up for me!" After a long while, no one responded, the chief had an idea, and whispered: "There are custard buns for sale in front." At this time, only a cold voice from the crowd: " Three."
