Xiao Chining has lived for 16 years, 360 and 17 days, and the most frequently heard sentence is: "It will be fine when you are [-] years old."

At the age of five, when Qiu Yin forced him to take oil painting classes and he wanted to learn to skate more, Qiu Yin comforted him and said: "It will be fine when you grow up to 17 years old, and you can learn whatever you want."

At the age of six, Quin came to attend his primary school entrance ceremony. Sitting among a group of young parents so that he was given special attention by the teacher, Quin explained: "When you are 17 years old, your parents will come to attend. For your graduation ceremony."

At the age of 14, he dropped out of school due to a serious illness, and had to make up half a year of lessons at home. When Quin read about this and that every day and made him wish he would die immediately, Quin rarely said angrily: "Wait for you When you are 17 years old, go back to your parents immediately!"

It seems that once the 17th birthday is over, it will be Xiao Chining's new life and the end of the old world.

As for why it is not legally required to have full capacity for civil conduct, Xiao Chining has confirmed it four times after being sensible——

"Daoist Guan Che has always been very accurate in divination." Qiu Yin got up from the futon after paying homage to Lu Zu who had been invited to his home, and then continued, "You were born at six o'clock in the evening, no more than a second, no less , the horoscope is special, and the fate brings robbery. Your mother’s fate is just suppressed by this childbirth. If you and your mother stay together for the first 17 years, not only will you not be able to make money, but you will lose money, and your family will continue to suffer. Only You survived the three catastrophes in the first 17 years safely, and your mother's whole childbirth catastrophe will be completely over."

This is the answer every time, and the discrepancy does not exceed ten words. Xiao Chining never believed it but became convinced.

This was the real reason, and no one in the family thought that the reason why he had to grow up alone next to an old upstart woman with no appearances was so absurd that there was no need to pretend to hide it.

Sometimes he is really curious about who is this master Guanche who made important instructions that affected his life, but when he searches for "Guanche" on the Internet, the result is only an ancient poem and some words that he can't understand and don't want to think about. I understand the verse.

There is not even an entry, shit master, charlatan, unscrupulous profiteer.Forget about Qiu Yin being an old man, why would Xiao Zhaoshan and Chi Yan, two high-achieving students, believe it?

"Because something happened to your father at the time, and your mother's business also encountered problems. She went for a pregnancy test and found out that the fetal position was not correct. When she gave birth to you, she almost failed to get off the operating table. That's why your mother spent a lot of money. For the price, I specially ask Taoist Priest Guan Che to settle it."

If he continued to ask what happened to Xiao Zhaoshan at that time, and what problems Chi Yan encountered in his business, Qiu Yin would say that he refused to continue.

Xiao Chining had no other choice. Before the age of 14, he couldn't restrain his childish instinct of knowing and longing for his parents. At that time, except for Qiu Yin, no one could tell him everything about his parents.

To him, his parents are just a photo on the side table. Apart from their looks, he only knows that Xiao Zhaoshan used to be a painter, but now he sells paintings; Chi Yan used to learn French, but now he is a well-known restaurant. brand owner.that is it.

They are all very busy, so busy that they have only visited him eight or nine times in the south, Xiao Zhaoshan eight times, Chi Yan nine times, Xiao Chining remembers it very clearly.Moreover, they almost never come together. Xiao Zhaoshan said that he was here on a business trip, and Chi Yan said that she happened to be changing planes here. In short, they didn't make a special trip to see him.He is just a low-end scenic spot that can be checked in, and he will be remembered when he passes by by chance: "Oh, I still have a son living here."

The only exception was when he was 14 years old. In his third year of junior high school, he got meningitis. The high fever persisted and he vomited continuously. The virus almost killed him.Qiu Yin thought this was his second catastrophe—the first catastrophe was his birth—and quickly called Chi Yan, and finally Xiao Zhaoshan, who was relatively less busy, flew over overnight and stayed with him for four days .

However, at that time he was in a coma almost all day long, and even if he opened his eyes in a daze, what he saw was Xiao Zhaoshan's side face sitting in front of the window of the ward reading a book.

This still young and coquettish face does not have the anxiety and worry that parents would experience after a child's sudden illness, nor the boredom and irritability of being alone in the bed, but only a sharp calm and tranquility, which cut straight to the drowsy Xiao Chi Ning was in pain.

He wasn't sure if he was crying because he seemed to be falling asleep again in the constant dull pain.

Later, in his dream, he saw Xiao Zhaoshan, like the old photo on the side table, wearing a loose shirt and washed jeans popular in the 90s of the last century, smiling youthfully, walking from the window to his bedside, falling down Touching his forehead, the movements are unmatchedly gentle.

"Why are you crying?"

Xiao Chining was sure that he was crying.He replied hoarsely, "I, I want to go home."

Xiao Zhaoshan asked again: "Which home do you want to go back to?"

Xiao Chining choked with sobs: "I want to go back to you..."

Xiao Zhaoshan's actions were still considerate, and the temperature was still warm, but he sighed softly: "But your mother and I don't need you."

It was in such a dream that Xiao Chining realized belatedly that honesty is also a kind of cruelty, calmness is indifference itself, and a life that is not worth deceiving is actually useless.

Since then, he has overcome his childish instincts, and lost his curiosity and desire to seek dependence overnight.Liu Runxi should be beaten because he is honest, Qiu Yin should be scolded because she is indifferent, Xiao Zhaoshan and Chi Yan should be killed, because they gave birth to him out of temporary hypocrisy, and then exiled him out of long-term selfishness.

Xiao Chining poured the milk in the glass on the birthday cake, and the two candles "1" and "7" didn't even have time to extinguish, leaving only a wisp of smoke.

Qiu Yin looked very bad, went to the bathroom to get a towel, wiped the milk that flowed from the edge of the cake to the table, and then dripped from the table to the floor: "Today is your birthday, I don't care about you."

Xiao Chining slumped in the chair, and smiled contemptuously: "Who told you that my birthday is going to be? You're being sentimental."

"How do I usually teach you?" Qiu Yin frowned tightly, "Standing must be standing and sitting must be sitting. Sit well."

Xiao Chining has good genes, and has been beautiful since he was a child, as delicate as a doll.Quin thinks that he can be more beautiful, so he has been controlling him a lot in terms of etiquette and homework, hoping that he can become a real classy person from the inside out.

But Xiao Chining remained motionless, still sluggish: "How did you teach me? You taught me not to be bullied outside, so I pre-emptively beat Liu Runxi, idiot, you taught me to dare to say no, and I will follow you Said it wasn't my birthday. Am I wrong?"

Qiu Yin put the towel down heavily: "I never taught you to swear!"

Xiao Chining suddenly realized and nodded: "Oh, that's why I beat Liu Runxi, who is mentally retarded. This word is in the dictionary, do you think it works?"

Quin's chest heaved and he couldn't speak for a while.

Of course she couldn't speak, Xiao Chining knew it well, because breaking the rules and disrupting order was also one of her imaginations of superior people.That's why she bought him this expensive piece of cake, even though he had beaten Liu Runxi to a first-degree minor injury the day before yesterday with the folding chair in the multi-purpose room.

But the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Xiao Chining almost didn't laugh out loud when he thought of the picture of her bowing down to look at the Artemisia buns in the trash can.

Quin's anger made her straighten her back, as if trying to find patriarchal dignity by stretching her diminutive self.But after a while, her strength was exhausted, and her old and heavy spine pushed her back into the quagmire of meaningless life.

So she could only stand up and announce that she had changed from a fighting woman to an old man who was so free and easy because of exhaustion.

"I'm old, and you're 17 years old. Go back to your parents' place tomorrow, and I'll buy you a plane ticket. From now on, you can follow the gangsters to learn how to smoke, and you can skip class to watch some dubious bitches dance." Whether it's a striptease, beating people indiscriminately, or speaking harshly and annoying people, I don't care, and I don't want to care about it."

"If you weren't Ji Ji's son, I would have thrown you out and left you to fend for yourself. Why worry about whether you can't eat or sleep well, and run around to wipe your ass? Think about it yourself. "

After speaking, she dragged a whole suit of RMB back to the room.

Xiao Chining sat in front of the ruined piece of birthday cake, took a sip of the remaining milk, and thought calmly: Even the old and immortal can forget that he still has the third calamity, I am afraid that Xiao Zhaoshan and Chi Yan didn't even remember that they had a son, and it was time to go home this year.
