Love to hear

Chen Qi didn't go home, he turned back after reaching the T-junction, and went straight to the dilapidated newsstand.

Dim light bulbs hang above the small space, no more disturbing by moths and insects than in summer, and only the old man is watching the antenna TV in the canteen.

Chen Qi took out his pocket, found a steel coin, and said, "Grandpa, take a lollipop."

"It's you," the old man glanced at him, "You take it yourself, I'm sitting warm and I don't want to move."

Chen Qi picked a creamy flavor, and didn't leave after picking. He put the coin on the glass cabinet, and he also half-prone on it: "Grandpa, I want to ask you something about Su Chengyin."

"Chengyin?" The old man turned his head, "Did you quarrel?"

Chen Qi thought to himself, he unilaterally kept it from me, and I unilaterally worried, so I have to ask you to come here.

"There's a small conflict, I'm wrong, please help me." Chen begged sincerely, shaking the lollipop, "He likes to eat sweets, so buy this to apologize to him."

"Then you are too stingy to buy one."

"I don't have any money with me. If you can scan the QR code to pay for this, I will definitely buy it all."

The old man laughed out loud, and when he had had enough, he said, "What do you want to ask? This kid is sensible. I haven't bought snacks when I was young, but I bought oil, salt, sauce and vinegar all over the place. From time to time, I even counted for me." account."

Chen Qi had already figured out the picture, and he smiled softly: "The first time I saw you, you told me that he has no father or mother, and asked me to treat him as a good friend and play with him."

"Eh, that's it."

"When did he have no father or mother? Do you know?"

The old man thought about it for a moment, smacked his lips and said, "I have opened this canteen for thirteen years, and in the second year he was brought here by his aunt, that is..."

"It was 12 years ago, when he was six years old." After Chen Qi finished speaking, he felt bitter in his heart, at an innocent age.

"His voice...do you know what's going on?" Chen Qi asked again, "He became dumb when he was six years old?"

"Yeah, he was a little mute when he first came here." The old man sighed again and again, "What a wonderful child, I remember that he was seriously ill when he first came here, and he was sick for a long time, not even a year, sometimes half a year, his body was so thin and small He was picked up by his aunt when he was in elementary school. Every time he watched it, he was sick and not childish. Then one day, maybe he recovered from his illness, and the person who loves to laugh and play began to be liked. Spiritual."

Chen Qi didn't let go of the slightest bit: "Is it because you recovered from your illness?"

"Then what else could be the reason? What can a child have?" The old man said, touching the thermos cup to moisten his throat. "In a few years, his aunt gave him a little brother. The family is very difficult, but Everyone in our community knows that this little doll is good at studying and goes to the family every year to get a scholarship, and Beer has a face for their family."

Chen Qi nodded slowly, his mind was drifting away, thinking of many things, many trivial matters, and that brother named Xinyu is a little jealous, the family must be used to him and keep him close, Su Chengyin who lives under the fence can get How much petting?

As for bonuses, whether it is scholarships or competition bonuses, it is impossible to hold them as pocket money.

He would lie to them, Chen Qi thought, Su Chengyin would not tell his aunt why he was so sad today, as if he was hiding it from him.

So what was he doing when he asked for leave in the morning?I lied to everyone, but ended up in a cafe, did I meet someone?

......coffee shop?

Chen Qi looked at the time, it was seven o'clock, which was still early, so he immediately decided to go to the cafe.

Su Chengyin put on an extra sweater before going out.When he came out of Chen Qi's house, Chen Qi gave him the woolen coat specially bought for him. Su Chengyin really wanted it, but the LOGO of the coat clearly indicated that he couldn't afford it at all, it was too expensive, so he put it on. None dare to move.

Xinyu called Su Qiu to stop him: "Brother, I will go wherever you are going, can you take me with you? I promise I won't make trouble!"

"You're just doing your homework at home. The term is coming to an end soon. Do you still want to have a good New Year?" Su Qiu asked Su Chengyin after yelling tirelessly, "Where are you going? It might rain tonight."

Su Chengyin put on his shoes, and when he heard this, he took off the folding umbrella from the nail on the wall. He said with his lips: "Go to school."

When he reached the T-junction, Su Chengyin looked up to the [-]th floor. It was still pitch black. He wanted to send a message to Chen Qi to ask where he was, but he felt that he should not be too annoying. , So I endured it, turned my head and stepped on the chilly ground and walked towards the school.

The teaching building was brightly lit. During self-study last night, Su Chengyin walked into the school with his face turned away. He didn't want his classmates to see him, and he didn't want Zhang Xian to ask him questions. He used the darkness as a cover to copy from the most remote path to the milk tea shop next to the cafeteria--- It's not that I want to drink milk tea, I just want to enjoy the pleasure of spending money, want to be willful, and do something that makes me happy and not annoying.

It's a pity that there was a closing sign "see you tomorrow" on the door of the milk tea shop. Su Chengyin felt that he was bullied by this sign, so he poked it lightly with his umbrella, and then walked into the small yard surrounded by a fence. The rattan chairs were all empty, Su Chengyin sat down, raised his head, the leaves were sparse above his head, and he could see the rolling black clouds over the branches.

So small.

Su Chengyin let go of his mind and quietly waited for time to flow.

Su Chun accompanied him to see the stars and the Milky Way, because he became one of them.But tonight, Su Chengyin was enveloped only by dark clouds wrapped in rain.

Did I kill her?

It's me.

If it weren't for me, if I were more unlucky, abandoned, and stiffened by the cold wind, I wouldn't let her cry out and let her find me, and I wouldn't interfere in her soon-to-be reborn life. Boyfriend in love, not me...me...

Wei Baiwen apologized to him before parting, saying "I'm sorry", Su Chengyin shook his head slightly, his eyes were filled with water, and he wanted to thank Wei Baiwen in turn, letting him know that there is another person in this world besides himself. I also love Su Chun deeply.

The cold wind cut his cheek like an ice knife, and it also cut his heart. Su Chengyin felt that he was really useless. He should...should go to those people in the mountain village with hatred to seek justice, or just ask them to go to Su Chun To be buried with...in what way, set a fire, or, cyanide, or poison...

Su Chengyin covered her sore eyes from crying with both hands, it was too unrealistic and childish.

"Om---" The vibration of the phone interrupted Su Chengyin's absurd whim. It was an unfamiliar phone number. His mind was in a mess, and he stared at the incoming call screen until the screen dimmed before answering it in a daze.

"Hello, Su Chengyin? I'm Wei Baiwen."

"Hello? Su Chengyin? Hello?"

Su Chengyin pursed her lips and said "um".

The other person breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I took your inspection report in the afternoon and discussed it with a few other friends. There is a high probability that your throat can be cured, and the damaged vocal cords can be repaired, but more work is needed. Comprehensive and detailed examination, when will you have time to come to the hospital again?"

Su Chengyin remained silent, and the other party did not urge him. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Let's talk."

"Money is not a problem!" Wei Baiwen said hastily, "You just have to come, you can come, you don't need to do anything else..."

"Let's talk." Su Chengyin interrupted him, "You don't have to be nice to me, you didn't feel sorry for me, whether you told me the truth or anything else, nothing. I'm going to take the college entrance examination in half a year, wait until later. .. I can make money to treat myself in the future, and I will come to you again."

"Okay, wait until you finish the college entrance examination." Wei Baiwen felt sorry for him and comforted him, "You are Su Chun's treasure, and that's all I can do."

Su Chengyin was provoked to cry again, he covered his face again, and wept softly, "Thank you."

The waiter in the coffee shop was very embarrassed, and Chen Qi also knew that he was embarrassing others, but he couldn't help it.

He randomly chose a seat and sat down, took out his mobile phone and called Su Ling: "Mom, I invite you to drink coffee."

Not long after, Su Ling came to the appointment with her bag, and instead of coffee, there was a plate of donuts in front of her.

"Where's the promised coffee?"

"I was afraid that you would splash me, so I didn't dare to order it."

Su Ling laughed, and became more and more curious: "It's a mystery."

Putting the coat aside, Chen Qi was wearing a high-necked ai-green sweater, which made him look handsome and well-behaved. He said: "I found Su Chengyin here this afternoon, and he cried like a tearful man. I never cried like this when I was weaned." .”

Su Ling asked: "What happened to him?"

"I don't know, he kept it from me, he didn't tell me." Chen Qi sighed, "I brought him home, but he was in a bad mood and slept all afternoon."

"He's home now?"

"Well, I sent him back. Then I came here to look for clues. He didn't tell me. I figured out a way myself."

Su Ling lightly accused: "It's not good or right for you to do this. Since he refuses to tell you, you shouldn't insist on..."

"Mom," Chen Qi robbed, "I even thought about reporting maliciously, calling the police and waiting for the police to adjust the monitoring, and I thought of a way to watch from the sidelines. The waiter was so annoyed by me that he wanted to call the police and arrest me first."

Su Ling laughed and scolded him: "Nonsense!"

"Mom, listen to me." Chen Qi stopped joking. He paused, prepared to speak, and then straightened his sitting posture. "You and Su Chengyin both have the surname Su. You were one family 500 years ago. Today, 500 years later, you still have the same surname." Do you want to be a family with him again?"

Su Ling pondered for a while, and ruled out all the possibilities hidden in this passage one by one. Under Chen Qi's nervous gaze, she raised her hand to call for the waiter: "A cup of warm water."

The boiled water was served, and Chen Qi finally said: "Mom..." He didn't think his mother, the elegant Ms. Su Ling, would stage a TV drama where water was splashed.

When Chen Qi was about to go crazy from nervousness, Su Ling only said: "Caring about it makes chaos."

"I know." Chen Qi picked up a donut and took a bite. The powdered sugar stained his lips. It was sweet but not greasy. Su Chengyin would definitely like it. He chewed and swallowed it before he said without any confidence, "Then Don't you care about me, are you not afraid of my chaos?"

"Why aren't you afraid?" Su Ling said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to tell whether it's sympathy or genuine liking."

Chen Qi put down his fork: "It's not contradictory. I sympathize with him and like him. The more I like him, the more distressed I feel. I want to know why he is sad, I want him not to be sad, and I want him to trust me."

Still quite ashamed, Chen Qi's heart beat faster and his ears were burning hot.

Su Ling's face was calm, but her heart was like an earthquake and tsunami: "If you meet more..."

"My dad has traveled all over the world and met so many people of all kinds." Chen Qi cut her off, full of confidence, "I will not be worse than my dad."

Su Ling called the waiter again, ordered two cups of hot milk, and the mother and son drank slowly facing each other with their own concerns.

After drinking, Su Ling said: "Let's go, it's time to go home after coming out of the closet."

"You just accept it?" Chen Qi couldn't believe it, Su Ling was too gentle on weekdays, he was not sure how she would react to such a serious problem, but at least it wouldn't be so easy.

"Everything I said was dismissed by you swearing." Su Ling sighed, "The shock was quite big, even more shocking than when you cut my strings when you were ignorant when you were young."

Chen Qi put on his coat, he was already much taller than Su Ling, he hugged Su Ling and walked out together, "Don't tell my dad, okay, I will confess to him and be lenient."

Su Ling fantasized about the scene for a moment, and couldn't help but chuckled. She said expectantly, "Good luck."
