Golden Boy

Su Pei spoke slowly, one word at a time, and he just wanted to keep talking.

He said He Yiming is a man among men.

"Really, you are like a wild animal. A mountain of 5000 meters...6000 meters...normal people can't climb it. I can't climb it..."

He Yiming said: "I know."

He is not so narcissistic, he likes to hear Su Pei brag about his masculinity.He said "I know" just because he knew exactly how Su Pei thought of him.

Su Pei said, "No..."

He Yiming laughed softly: "What the hell is that?"

"I was worried about you too... too much pressure. You were under too much pressure... I was worried about you. Is it because of too much work pressure that I like so much... extreme sports, it seems that it takes pressure... ...like venting..."

Su Pei spoke slowly, trying his best to express his meaning clearly.

He Yiming didn't expect Su Pei to think about this.He folded his arms around his chest, unable to speak for a moment.

He tried to cross that line too many times.

But there are as many times when he will feel that it is enough to maintain this relationship with Su Pei forever.

Love of the highest order, without kisses and touches.

Su Pei said again: "So you had fun today...and so did I...Fortunately, you are not my son, otherwise I really can't control you...You are too crazy."

He started talking nonsense.

He Yiming was completely moved by what he said just now, and Su Pei was still psychologically evaluating the possibility of being his father.

He Yiming changed the subject.

"Why is the little cookie so sticky to you? Is it like this usually?"

Su Pei said: "It may be that I had some conflicts with the crew some time ago, about the final payment... She heard it. Maybe she was worried about me... She is very sensible."

He Yiming asked: "What about the final payment? The crew owes you money?"

Su Pei paused, but there was still a trace of consciousness in his mind, some things should not be told to He Yiming.

He murmured: "It's okay, it's been settled. Shen Lan and I really... owe her too much..."

He Yiming said: "You have done enough."

Su Pei thought, He Yiming was not a parent yet, so he would not understand the feeling of parents that nothing is enough for their children.What's more, he has too little company with Cookie.He obviously has so much to say and so much experience that he wants to tell Little Cookie, but he still has to wait for her to grow up, and then grow up.

Su Pei said slowly: "You don't know... children nowadays are under a lot of pressure...whether it's a public school or a private school...the pressure is great..."

"Can you believe it? One day, Little Cookie asked me if she didn't go to school. I said, how is it possible? She said that a classmate in their class went bankrupt in their family business, owed a lot of money, and sold the house ...I couldn't stay in Beijing to go to school, so I had to go back to my hometown to go to school. She was very scared...I told Little Cookie that there is nothing wrong with going back to my hometown school."

"But I asked myself... can I go back to my hometown with Cookie..."

Su Pei suddenly smiled: "Our family..."

He Yiming finally couldn't bear it and stretched out his hand. He just pressed Su Pei's shoulder and said, "Stop talking, let's rest. It's not that much, you are the one pushing yourself."

Hearing his voice, Su Pei blinked, as if he couldn't react to what He Yiming was saying.

He suddenly grabbed He Yiming's hand.

He Yiming got nervous and wanted to pull away, but Su Pei had already grabbed his hand and put it on his forehead: "Touch and see... do I have a fever?"

He Yiming immediately took his hand away and said, "No!"

Su Pei said to himself: "I must have a fever... My body is very hot..."

He Yiming only felt that the thoughts he had just organized were slipping towards the edge of danger again.

Su Pei staggered up from the sofa, and asked, "Is there any medicine? I want to take some antipyretics."

He Yiming supported him: "Don't go crazy. You drank so much red wine, are you looking for death by taking medicine?"

Sometimes he really felt that it was a miracle that Su Pei was able to live well.

He Yiming helped Su Pei to the room and threw him on the bed.Then I brought ice cubes and a towel to physically cool him down.Su Pei wiped his face with an ice towel, and finally felt much more comfortable, and quickly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, He Yiming had a look at Su Pei's condition first, and then went to the kitchen.He was going to cook egg porridge for a light breakfast.

Just as the porridge was being cooked, He Yiming heard children's footsteps on the stairs.

He came out and saw that Little Cookie had already woken up, with messy hair, still wearing pajamas, sitting on the edge of the stairs in a daze.It's like I don't know why I'm here.

He Yiming asked, "Why did you get up so early?"

Little Cookie said without thinking: "My father hasn't woken up yet."

She was a little worried.

He Yiming said: "Your dad is still drunk. Don't wake him up. Can you wash your face and brush your teeth?"

Cookie nodded.He Yiming thought so too, she lived in the school, so she should be able to take care of herself.He urged Little Cookie: "Then don't be in a daze, go wash your face, brush your teeth and change your clothes."

Little Cookie ran back to her room.

Shen Lan told her not to tell anyone what the video said last night.She is still debating whether to tell Dad or not.But to Uncle He, she definitely wouldn't say anything.

After Su Pei woke up, He Yiming took his temperature. His fever subsided, but he still had a low fever.

They had breakfast together, Su Pei didn't ask for coffee, and honestly ate a bowl of porridge.

After having breakfast and resting for a while, Little Cookie lay down by the window and did her homework for a while.

Su Pei turned on the computer to revise the novel. He said to He Yiming: "I revised it later. I just had time recently and wrote a lot. It should be finished in two months. You can read it when it comes out. "

He Yiming said: "When the school celebrates, you should have finished writing it?"

Su Pei thought it was true, and he said, "Then I will show it to you."

Xiao Quqi had just finished an assignment, and a few kids she met yesterday came to ask her to play.

"Su Yao! Su Yao! Come out and play!"

These are the children of the farm workers.

Little Cookie couldn't stand the temptation, and immediately ran out to play with them.Su Pei called her from behind: "Put on your gloves!"

He Yiming asked the mother of one of the children to help take care of these children.

Su Pei was worried after all, he also put on a thick coat and scarf, and went out to look at the little cookies.He and He Yiming strolled slowly, watching the children playing not far away.

Little Cookie is going to ride a horse, and Su Pei just wants to rest in the sun, so he asks his daughter for permission: "How about letting Uncle He accompany you. Dad is not feeling well today, and he doesn't have the energy to ride a horse."

The little cookie is a bit awkward.But that pony is very gentle, in fact, He Yiming doesn't need to help her.She quickly had fun and gave the pony feed.

Seeing the happy look of Little Cookie, Su Pei said to He Yiming: "You are right, it is good for children to get closer to nature. In this way, no matter what kind of environment in the future, she can draw strength from nature. "

He Yiming looked at him: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Su Pei smiled: "Just like you, it's good to be close to nature."

He Yiming said: "You didn't say that when you were drunk last night."

Su Pei quickly said, "I really think so."

He looked into the distance and said with admiration: "Sometimes I feel that you plan this area... as if it is your own little kingdom. This is how you have your own space and world. What you said in college has been realized. gone."

He Yiming said, "Do you still remember?"

Su Pei nodded: "Of course."

He Yiming said in a low voice, "I also remember your dreams back then."

Su Pei was embarrassed.The two laughed at the same time.

He kept saying, "Don't say it, don't say it."

In the evening, Su Pei's heat came up again.After an early dinner, I lay on the sofa and read a book to rest.Little Cookie sat on the floor obediently, playing games with headphones.

He Yiming sat beside him and asked about something he cared about.

"You said last night, what happened to the final payment of the crew? Why did Little Cookie worry about you?"

Su Pei stared at the novel, and said, "It's nothing. It's been resolved, and the crew is not short of my money. Maybe it's because my tone was a bit aggressive when I called."

He Yiming said, "Did you threaten the crew?"

Su Pei finally put down the book and said, "I told you, don't be angry."

He glanced at the little cookie.She was so engrossed in her game on the other side of the living room that she couldn't hear them talking.

He Yiming said: "You say."

Su Pei sat up and said, "I told the producer that writers who commit suicide are the most sensational..."

He Yiming's face turned dark instantly.Su Pei immediately said: "Listen to me, I said this out of excitement. I didn't have any such thoughts."

He Yiming didn't speak.

Su Pei said again: "I didn't want to tell you. But if you heard about this from other places, you would definitely be more angry with me. So please believe me, I will not have such thoughts, and there is no disrespect meaning. It's just that it was really..."

He Yiming finally said: "You really don't have this idea?"

Su Pei immediately promised again.He was careful not to say the word "suicide" again.

He knew that these two words were He Yiming's heartbreak.

He Yiming's father committed suicide.

He still remembered that one night, He Yiming suddenly appeared in front of him, his face was pale, and he said, "Su Pei, my father committed suicide."

He accompanied He Yiming back home and spent the most difficult few days with him - watching He Yiming face those difficult creditors and unkind relatives, and comforting his collapsed mother, he didn't even have time to shed tears.

On the train back to school, both of them were exhausted and fell asleep leaning against each other.When Su Pei woke up, he found that there was no one around him. He panicked and searched from car to car, and finally found He Yiming in an empty corner.

He was sitting on the ground crying, when he saw Su Pei, he raised his eyes and said, "He didn't leave me a word."

Su Pei knelt beside him and couldn't help hugging him.He couldn't remember how long He Yiming cried, he could only tell He Yiming all the time: "I will be with you..."

So Su Pei knew very well how traumatic the word "suicide" was to He Yiming.

Now he can only explain to He Yiming over and over again.

He Yiming finally said: "If you have this thought, it's better to say it than to say nothing. As long as you say it, someone will definitely help you and save you."

Su Pei looked at He Yiming, and the two looked at each other.

He Yiming said it again: "You know, I've been here all along."

Su Pei smiled slowly: "I know. You are my best brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yiming's cell phone rang. He hated this untimely call. It was the security guard who called him.

"What? Who's here?" He Yiming couldn't believe his ears.

And the little cookie who was sitting by the window had already taken off his earphones and cheered: "Mom! Mom is here!"

Su Pei looked out the window in bewilderment, his ex-wife Shen Lan was striding across the courtyard and walking towards them.
