Wanderer

Chapter 23 Secret Love

After about 5 minutes, Bai Yunqi was almost suffocated by the silent silence between the two.

Hold.Bai Yunqi couldn't tell whether the burning feeling came from his back or his face, so just say anything, you can scold me.

It was rare for God to hear his inner voice—Wen Hai couldn't sit still for a while.

"Speaking of holding a parent-teacher meeting, did your brother tell you about the idiots we did?" He had nothing to say, and before Bai Yunqi could answer, he said to himself, "Forget it, we both did idiots thing."

Bai Yunqi: "..."

Then you are quite self-aware.

"In the first year of high school, the parent meeting was held after the midterm exam. I committed a lot of things, and I was named and sued. My dad wanted to beat me on the spot... I mean real beating. I knelt on the ground and he smoked me. That kind," Wen Hai moved the ice pack, "but I'm not as strong as you, so he dares to use a belt."

Bai Yunqi was shivered by the coolness of going up and down, and his voice trembled unconsciously: "Are you really beating?"

"You'll know if you ask your brother. How many times have I been sent to the hospital by my dad when I was a child. The old man was an instructor in the police force in his early years. He can't take care of children but only leads soldiers. It doesn't matter how serious he is." Wen Hai didn't care much. "His cadre's son has been superior to others since he was a child. It is estimated that no one except me who is two hundred and five would dare to fight against him."

Bai Yunqi: "Auntie didn't stop her?"

Wen Hai said calmly: "Of course I stopped, if you don't stop me, it's just a photo now."

"……Oh."

"At that time my dad was going to beat me, your brother's small body blocked my front, I told him to get out, your brother turned his head and called me an idiot, I got angry and started arguing with him, and when we were arguing, we started fighting My dad has no choice but to fight again..." Wen Hai was indignant, "Damn it, the old man would pull off the sidelines at that moment, your brother almost broke the bridge of my nose."

"Well, Brother Tong'an, he—" Bai Yunqi couldn't utter the comforting words, he was shaking with a choked smile, "Brother Tong'an, he... puff——hahahaha..."

"What are you laughing at?" Wen Hai pushed down his hand heavily, and Bai Yunqi yelled, "Didn't someone steal your brother's money at that time, so I went to find a place for him, and if he got a bargain, he was a good boy. Everything will be pinned on me."

Although Bai Yunqi was very envious, but felt a little uncomfortable, he said unintentionally: "You and Brother Tong'an have a really good relationship."

Wen Hai seemed to have thought of something, and it took a long time before he responded: "We got married when we were young, and now it's almost our [-]th wedding anniversary."

"What?" Bai Yunqi's ears pricked up, "You and Brother Tong'an?"

"The two families got together and joked about it, saying that my mother was pregnant with a little girl and asked your brother to marry her as a wife, and your brother nodded shamelessly." Wen Hai's tone was very subtle, not like repulsion, On the contrary, I think this is a bit interesting, even with a hint of nostalgia, "Otherwise I would be your sister-in-law now."

Bai Yunqi: "Sister-in-law, hello... oh!"

Wen Hai didn't feel any guilt about bullying the patient, so he relaxed the strength in his hand again without changing his face, and said lightly: "Have you seen "Anna Karenina", there is a sentence at the beginning-"Happy family They are all alike, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way', the parent meeting is the truest portrayal of this sentence, so I don't like the parent meeting."

"That's why I'm so angry today." Wen Hai thought to himself, he looked at Bai Yunqi's shocking wound, and in a trance, the sharp tinnitus started again, loudly and overwhelmingly, "I thought I could at least make you feel You have a veritable 'parent', so that you will not be as disappointed and embarrassed as I was back then."

It turns out I still can't.

The second hand of the wall clock went round and round.

Wen Hai doesn't like extra movement in the house, even the wall clock is silent, so now in the huge house, there are only two people's suppressed and long breathing.

Feeling that most of the ice pack wrapped in the towel had melted, Wen Hai's arm, which he had been holding up, felt a little sore. While adjusting the ice pack, he raised his hand and moved a few times.

"In elementary school." Bai Yunqi said the moment he raised his hand, "In the third grade of elementary school, I often took the first place in the grade test. The teacher wanted to invite my parents to speak at the parent meeting. Grandma was very happy. She was dressed up that day, I've never seen her in such a gorgeous dress."

Wen Hai just acted as a listener, and silently put the ice pack on Bai Yunqi's wound again.

"As soon as she came on stage, the parents below started laughing..." Bai Yunqi's voice was already hoarse, as if he was forcibly suppressing the pain he hadn't seen for a long time, "They scolded her very loudly, a lot...I don't want to now Words that come to mind. She didn’t say anything, and left after finishing the speech she had prepared in advance. I was very scared at the time, so I ran to the school gate to wait for her. She hit me and asked me why I was running. Look down on her as much as they do..."

"Hmm." Wen Hai grabbed the thin blanket on the sofa and wrapped him up, "So you're so worried about where that girl is going to live today, aren't you?"

Bai Yunqi nodded wearily, and shrank himself back as if exhausted.

Wen Hai: "Where did you go then?"

"I have nowhere to go, the streets are too unsafe." Bai Yunqi's emotions were exhausted in those few words, and then he spoke in a dead silence, "There are security guards patrolling the building at night in the school. After sleeping in an abandoned toilet in the playground for a few days, I felt that my grandma had calmed down and went back."

He looked back at Wen Hai, and defended his cowardly and incompetent self: "I really have nowhere to go."

There are thousands of lights in the city, but none of them are lit for him, there is nowhere to go, no way to escape.

"It seems that every time the parent meeting is over, I feel uneasy," Bai Yunqi said softly, "I hate the parent meeting."

Wen Hai put down the ice pack, gently slid his fingertips across the wound, and said in a normal tone, "I have nowhere to go in the future, remember to come to my place, remember?"

Bai Yunqi raised his eyes and stared at him blankly, he didn't understand what Wen Hai meant for a while, but after he realized it, the so-called "moved" emotion just flashed by, and then only endless exhaustion and ridicule remained.

——He didn't seem to believe that Wen Hai or anyone would be so generous to him and would leave him a shelter in the years to come.

"Don't take a bath today, go to bed early." Wen Hai didn't say any more, put away the ice pack and stood up, "Sleep calmly, don't press the wound."

He left Bai Yunqi in the living room, and hurried into the bedroom by himself, like a coward fleeing in a panic.

The tinnitus still didn't stop.

The parent-teacher meeting was just a small episode in the dull life of the third year of high school. In a blink of an eye, everyone forgot about it.If it weren't for the throbbing wound on his back and the baseball shirt that Sun Miao gave to him after washing, with Bai Yunqi's ostrich mentality, he might have been able to hypnotize himself, making everything that happened that day a grotesque and fleeting scene. forgotten dreams.

Liu Xinyu went against the norm of gossip, took the baseball shirt from Bai Yunqi's hand and didn't ask any extra words, which made Bai Yunqi very surprised, and the excuses he made up in advance fell out of his throat. , fell into a puddle of powder, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the contrary, Sun Miao seemed to be very interested in the owner of this baseball shirt. While both of them were in the office doing the papers assigned by Fang Hui, she inquired about Bai Yunqi's "very tall, thick eyebrows" girl. "My little brother.

Strange to say, after what happened on the day of the parents' meeting, Bai Yunqi's image in Sun Miao's place went straight from the stage of "relative familiarity" across thousands of mountains and rivers, and settled down quietly as a "good girlfriend" between men and women. on the finish line of a pure friendship.

At this time, Sun Miao was calculating the answer with a calculator and asked in a drunken way: "Are you and Liu Xinyu very familiar?"

Bai Yunqi didn't understand the girl's convoluted thoughts, so he asked doubtfully, "What are you familiar with?"

"Just..." Sun Miao looked at Bai Yunqi as if caring for the mentally retarded, "Do you two usually get together?"

"Just tell me what you want to do," Bai Yunqi unhurriedly pushed aside a stack of papers, "Ten yuan for inquiries, twenty yuan for matchmaking, and if you want a full set of matchmaker services, I'll charge you forty yuan, no money is not required , I'll introduce you to his parents by the way."

Sun Miao glanced at Fang Hui's position with a guilty conscience, and when she realized that he was not there, she scratched her with the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and said solemnly, "He helped me anyway, what's wrong with getting to know him?"

Bo Yunqi propped his chin, turned his head to look at Sun Miao, and said deliberately: "Just know each other?"

"That's right, we just know each other." Sun Miao insisted with a straight face, and responded stiffly, "No way?"

"Oh, that's fine, I'll call you next time we go to the cafeteria." Bai Yunqi nodded thoughtfully, and then asked worriedly: "But you just say that you are following me, otherwise his girlfriend should Jealous."

Sun Miao: "..."

Bai Yunqi said seriously: "His girlfriend is very fierce."

"Forget it, save his girlfriend from thinking too much." Sun Miao muttered, and after a while she confirmed without giving up: "Does he really have a girlfriend?"

Bai Yunqi nodded: "Yes."

"Really?"

"fake."

"..."

Sun Miao immediately froze and scratched Bai Yunqi with all her head and face covered. The set of Nine Yin God Claws was the true biography of the woman in the yellow shirt, and Bai Yunqi hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Are you sure you plan to do this in the third year of high school?" Bai Yunqi couldn't help but say something more while dodging, "If you regress again, won't your homeroom teacher cut you alive?"

"Is this the experience of someone who came from your senior year in high school?" Sun Miao stopped, and then said with a face of enlightenment: "So that's it, my good brother, I didn't realize that you were also trapped by love back then. What is the name of the girl who had the heart to dump you? The next day, my sister will send [-] troops to avenge my brother for this heartbreak."

"Good sister, my brother didn't like dogs back then, so where is the girl from?" Bai Yunqi tapped Sun Miao's paw that was still stretched out in front of his eyes with a pen, "Just to remind you, and that bastard Liu Xinyu is stubborn, you If it weren't for..."

Sun Miao frowned: "It's not that I want to play with him. Is it easy to fall in love with me once I grow up? Do you think I want to fall in love early?"

Bai Yunqi: "..."

He really thought so.

The two were relatively silent for half a minute before Sun Miao came back to her senses what she had said in front of Bai Yunqi. Looking at the dumbfounded opponent, her whole face was burning like "the flowers of Shandandan are blooming bright red", and she lacked confidence. He threatened: "If you dare to speak out, I..."

Bai Yunqi threw out four words slowly: "The heroine has mercy."

Sun Miao: "..."

"You... um..." Bai Yunqi shook his hand holding the pen, "Think about it again."

"What are you thinking?" Sun Miao said inexplicably, "If we can't talk about it, we can make ordinary friends. Anyway, I also like to watch the NBA... How come you are so feudal and superstitious in what age? It doesn't mean that rich second generations have a good time. ?"

Bai Yunqi: "...I'll really beat you if you bring this up again."

Sun Miao was immersed in the girl's thoughts of "always poetry", "But what you said makes sense, and I don't know him well, so I should be more reserved... What should I do if I am too reserved? He really doesn't have a girlfriend? You What do you think of others?"

"..." The corner of Bai Yunqi's mouth twitched, "Which one do you want me to answer first?"

"Oh... I'm sorry, this is the first time I have done something that violates the school rules, and I have no experience." Sun Miao shrugged, "Do you think we are suitable? Forget it, don't talk about it, I can't entrust you with the important things in my life." , I can see that you are unreliable by looking at your unfeeling and ungrateful face."

Bai Yunqi: "..."

How could this be a personal attack?

"I think...how about you wait until you graduate from high school?" Bai Yunqi analyzed with her carefully, "Otherwise, what about the university? Talk about a different place?"

In fact, Sun Miao is a complete novice in this area, ignorant and ignorant, she talked to Bai Yunqi about it as a joke, and nodded vaguely: "That's right, let me think about it again."

Bai Yunqi continued: "And in the third year of high school, learning is still..."

"How do you talk about being as virtuous as your homeroom teacher? How promising is it that you can delay your studies if you fall in love?" Sun Miao sneered slightly, "If you want me to say that you have a secret love, you will delay your studies... What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just think these words sound familiar..." Bai Yunqi smiled, "You should be able to chat with that person."
