In the evening, just after class was over, Chen Xing dragged Xu Xin to the door of Class [-]. Xu Xin smiled at a girl at the door: "Student, help me call Li Bin from your class, thank you."

"Li Bin, someone is looking for you."

Li Bin raised his head and saw Chen Xing who was leaning on the door frame with a harmless smile on his face, his eyelids twitched, his face turned pale instantly, he hesitated for a moment, walked up to Chen Xing, and asked in a low voice: " What's up?"

"Yes, let's talk about it in another place." Chen Xing smiled, and his tone was also kind.

Li Bin was a little nervous: "Let's talk about it here, I haven't finished my homework yet."

"It's fine, you're okay." Chen Xing said as he walked towards Class [-] classroom, Li Bin immediately pulled over to Chen Xing: "Forget it, let's talk about it in another place." He knew something when he saw Chen Xing standing at the door It's over, he didn't have the courage to let Chen Xing reveal this matter.

Chen Xing shook off Li Bin's hand, turned his head and walked out, bringing Li Bin to the playground.The sky has gradually darkened, and the basketball players on the playground have all dispersed now. No one can see what happened in the empty playground.

"You, what do you want to do?" Li Bin looked at Chen Xing and Xu Xin nervously. He couldn't beat either of them. If he did something here, he would definitely be beaten badly.

Chen Xing's tone was casual and lazy: "Why not, I'm asking you something."

Li Bin stammered: "What, what's the matter?"

Under the dark sky, the expression on Chen Xing's face could not be seen clearly, his brows and eyes were sunken in the twilight, but his voice was chilling: "You must have found those people last night."

Li Bin lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chen Xing, his voice trembled uncontrollably: "What, who is it?"

Chen Xing sneered: "You move very fast."

"It's not me, I don't know anything." Li Bin tried his best to calm himself down. He was so angry that he found those people. In fact, after those people left, he regretted it. He didn't want to really hurt Chen Xing Yes, he also specifically told those people not to be too ruthless.But he didn't expect that Chen Xing was fine, and instead found him.

Chen Xing put his hands in his pockets and yawned: "It's fine if you don't know, then I'll send you directly to the police station and let the police ask them if they know you. You can check when you have time. People like you The situation, will the school keep you? Can you still sit in the college entrance examination room smoothly." After speaking, he dragged Xu Xin, who was beside him in a daze, to return to the classroom.

Li Bin grabbed Chen Xing's sleeve, and his voice was already crying: "No, I know, I said."

Chen Xing smiled: "Say it."

"Then you must promise not to tell the school or call the police. I didn't intend to really harm you." Li Bin lowered his head, not daring to look up at Chen Xing.

"En." Chen Xing nodded.

"I was the one who looked for those people that night. When Li Man confessed to you, I was so mad that I didn't think I would really kill you."

"How much did it cost?"

"Two thousand per person."

"Li Bin, you are quite rich, okay." Chen Xing reached out to take the phone from Xu Xin, smiled and pressed the audio play button, Li Bin's voice came from the phone: "Those people that night... "..."

Li Bin's face turned pale immediately, and his lips trembled non-stop: "What do you want to do?"

Chen Xing smiled and put the phone in his pocket, and said: "In the future, if you see me, avoid it. I don't want to see you, and you don't want to see me. If you mess with me again, I'll ask the city TV reporter to write a column for you. Thousand years old Two."

Li Bin just stood there trembling, unable to say a word.Chen Xing knew his weakness too well. If this matter got out, he would be expelled from the school, and no school would accept him. His future would be ruined, ruined!

Xu Xin was dragged to the classroom by Chen Xing, and asked Chen Xing puzzledly: "Is this the end?"

Chen Xing gave him a blank look: "Otherwise? Beat him up?"

"I think it's okay, what if that kid messes with you again in the future?"

"No more." Chen Xing's voice was soft, but extremely firm.

Xu Xin was stunned: "Chen Xing, do you know what I envy you the most?"

Chen Xing turned his head to look at him: "Everything about me is worthy of your envy."

"Your self-confidence, the kind of self-confidence that no one else has."

Chen Xing didn't speak, walked forward with his head down, Xu Xin didn't care about Chen Xing ignoring him, and said to himself: "You can stand in front of the teachers and students and proudly say that I am the number one in the school, you can One sentence can make others believe that Chen Xing is the best, and no one else can be as awesome as Chen Xing. No matter how nonsense you say, as long as you say you can, no one will doubt that you can't do it. "

All the young and frivolous, with you, are all high-spirited.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"you are welcome."

"Chen Xing, can you take me home tonight?" Li Man turned to look at Chen Xing, two small dimples were looming.

After a while of silence, Chen Xing responded: "Let's go."

The girl's eyes are smiling like a bridge, and the corners of her mouth are full of delicacy and liveliness.

"Wait for me, it will be ready soon." Li Man packed his schoolbag anxiously, for fear that Chen Xing would regret it later.

"I'll wait for you outside." Chen Xing raised his legs and walked out, Li Man grabbed his arm and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Let go, we're at school." Chen Xing didn't like being dragged like this, walking like this was tiring.

"Oh." Li Man was a little disappointed, let go of Chen Xing's arm, lowered his head and walked out with Chen Xing.

Li Man's house is not far away, only ten minutes' walk.Chen Xing didn't speak all the way, didn't want to say, and didn't know what to say.Just silently counting the trees on the road in my heart.This city seems to love the French plane trees very much. There are plane trees in the school, and there are plane trees on both sides of the street. The big trees of decades stand neatly, and some branches extend to the middle of the road, but there have always been no workers. Come prune and let them grow like this.

When Chen Xing counted to No.18, Li Man carefully held his hand from behind. Chen Xing turned his head, and although it was dark, he could still see the blush on the girl's face.He didn't withdraw his hand, and let Li Man hold it like this.

I don't know when, Chen Xing gradually discovered the difference in himself, those adolescent girls, flying skirts, flamboyant beauty, these things that are very beautiful in the eyes of other boys can't arouse his interest.In the end, when Chen Xing realized that he might like boys, Chen Xing panicked, he had never been so at a loss before, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have made a mistake, how fresh, a boy also likes boys.Every time he heard people around him talk about homosexuality in a disgusting tone, Chen Xing suddenly realized that this group, in the eyes of many people, was so heinous.

Chen Xing only told this matter to Xu Xin, his only good friend, who was only slightly surprised.There was no accusation, no dislike, and Chen Xing gradually felt that it was normal. Being accused of unnecessary crimes by those gloating bystanders was no threat at all, because those aggressive people couldn't tell what was wrong with liking the same sex.Maybe there is nothing wrong with liking someone, what can be wrong?

A week of peaceful days passed like this, and Chen Xing had one more task than before—to send Li Man home every night.

When Chen Xing went downstairs to his house that night, he looked up and raised his eyebrows in surprise.The lights in Chen Jianping and their bedroom were on, why did the two come back after only a week.When Chen Xing opened the door, he wondered if this was his home. The coffee table was completely broken, and the living room was in a mess.

Oh, there was a woman sitting on the sofa, Chen Xing squinted and saw that it was his own mother.Han Ya was sitting on the sofa, her hair was disheveled and draped over her shoulders, she was sobbing tremblingly with her hands covering her face and shoulders, she didn't look like the usual dignified lady.He raised his head when he heard the door open, and asked with a sob: "Xiaoxing, you're back."

Standing in the middle of the living room, Chen Xing turned his head and glanced at the bedroom with the lights on. There was a gap in the door of the bedroom. Chen Jianping was sitting by the bed smoking a cigarette, the ground in front of him was full of cigarette butts.

Chen Xing ignored his mother, he didn't want to talk to any of the two people in this room.As long as the two of them can't get into his bedroom and don't bother him in front of his eyes, it doesn't matter how they quarrel or do whatever they want.

Chen Xing turned around with his schoolbag on his back and walked towards his bedroom. When his hand touched the doorknob, Han Ya's crying voice sounded behind him: "Xiaoxing, your father is going to divorce me."

Chen Xing paused, turned around to look at Han Ya after a few seconds, and smiled like a little fox: "Isn't it a matter of time, congratulations."

Hearing her son's words, Han Ya couldn't bear it any longer, she sat on the sofa and began to cry loudly: "Everyone is a white-eyed wolf, what evil did I do..."

Chen Xing only felt that it was noisy, and he slammed the bedroom door behind him after entering.Divorce, divorce is good, he wished that these two people would leave soon.That way, he's really an orphan, an orphan, how cool.In the future parent meeting, he doesn't need to ask for leave, and he can confidently say that he has no father or mother.

Chen Xing took out the exercise book, turned on the desk lamp and started to do homework.Chen Xing has always done his homework very quickly. When all the homework was completed, he stretched comfortably. The growth environment given to him by Han Ya and Chen Jianping is still good. He is proud of his concentration The ability is trained in such an environment.

Chen Xing turned off the desk lamp, and the bedroom door was pushed open. Chen Jianping stood at the door and looked at Chen Xing hesitantly.Chen Xing lowered his head to pack his schoolbag without even raising his eyelids, "Wrong way, your room is next door."

"Chen Xing, Dad wants to discuss something with you..." Chen Jianping stood at the door rubbing his hands, looking at Chen Xing cautiously.

"You leave as you please, it's none of my business, I won't follow anyone, and I won't move home." Chen Xing stopped his movements, looked up at the man at the door, and said in a cold and distant tone, "Dad, did you hear me clearly?" ?"

Hearing this "Dad", Chen Jianping's eyes lit up for a moment, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then nodded excitedly, "Hey, Dad heard clearly."

"Thank you for bringing it to the door when you go out." Chen Xing thought for a while, and added: "Don't get too excited, this is the last time I will call you in this life." After saying that, he turned his head and didn't look at Chen Jianping's face at the door. A wonderful expression.

Chen Xing lit a cigarette and leaned against the window. He couldn't remember how long he hadn't spoken to Chen Jianping, and how long he hadn't called Dad. He remembered it very clearly. He hadn't called him since Chen Jianping came back from Guangzhou. .It's been too long, Chen Xing almost forgot that he still has a biological father and biological mother.He leaned against the window and smiled, it was okay, better than the monkey jumping out of the cracks in the rocks.

Before he finished smoking a cigarette, the noise of fighting outside rang out again.Han Ya scolded outside with a loud voice: "Don't think I don't know that you raised a little bitch outside, she gave birth to a son for you, a couple of dogs, take my money to raise a bastard outside... "..."

Chen Xing felt caught off guard that a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe, cooling all limbs and bones, and his heart was frozen.Oh, son, it turns out that his father has a son outside.He stomped out the cigarette, pushed open the window, and the wind poured in from the collar and cuffs.Chen Xing shivered after blowing.

"It's so fucking cold." Chen Xing jumped onto the window, turned his head to look at the clock and smiled happily: "09:30, really on time."

This time when Chen Xing jumped down, he didn't encounter that unlucky stone again, and he also put on his coat, which was perfect.Chen Xing's smile froze the moment he touched his pocket. He forgot to bring his money, so he couldn't stay in a hotel.

Now, where are we going?
