Ha ha

Bai Sheng patted the back of Bai Hao's head.

"Apologize to big brother."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that." The tall and strong boy stood in a heap at the door and said honestly with his head down.

Bai Qi raised his eyes and looked back and forth between the two of them, before he said after a while, "What do you mean?"

Bai Cheng said with a smile: "This brat can't speak his mind, and later I reflected on it with me, brother, please forgive him once, and the family will have a good time."

Oh, it turned out that I was afraid that I would still remember the grudge from last time and make it too ugly.

Bai Qi lowered his eyes: "It's not your fault." Said the wheelchair turned around, "Come in."

You can imagine the relieved expressions of the two behind you without turning your head.

In the hearts of these two younger brothers, I probably exist like an active volcano. Even if there was no eruption at that time, there is no guarantee that I will not suddenly throw a knife in the future.

But no matter what they think in their hearts, they pretend to be harmonious and happy, and spend this New Year's Day lovingly and lovingly.It seems that as long as it seems to be the case, it is really the case.

This is probably a genetic defect.Bai Qi still remembered that on New Year's Day more than ten years ago, his parents sat at the dining table like this, one of them stared at the bowls and chopsticks in front of him and said something, and the other answered tacitly.

Bai Sheng and Bai Hao were still young at that time, and their memories are very vague.Bai Qi remembered the scene more clearly than the video, and also remembered the hatred in his heart at that time.

He hated the standard smile on his mother's face, hated the food his father leaned over to pick up for him, and hated the small talk every three minutes under the bright light.

And the caring greetings in the last phone call from my father before he went abroad to remarry.

And the wreaths my father ordered for my mother's funeral after her unexpected death.

There are also the tears shed by the distant aunt who nominally guards the three brothers, she hugged and groped his hands, and the horror on her face when she met his eyes.

In the years before he became an adult, he hated many things, and in the end he couldn't even feel the hatred.

Or maybe this world is not necessarily like this.The relationship between people does not need emotion, does not need temperature, and can be maintained only by a perfectly defined form, just like the flowers shown on the high-definition screen can survive brilliantly by absorbing nutrients from the current.

In Bai Qi's kitchen, there was almost nothing to ask for. Bai Sheng brought his own condiments to the door, and he only prepared two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian. In the end, he managed to get a table from the takeaway from a nearby hotel.The chandelier hanging above the dining table casts warm yellow light, and the three of them sit around and eat like this.Bai Sheng also brought wine, making an exception and poured a glass for Bai Hao as well.

"Xiaohao, why don't you eat it? Does it not suit your appetite?"

Bai Hao lowered his head and said nothing, but his stomach let out an uncooperative growl.

Bai Sheng glanced at him up and down, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that you want to lose weight?"

"...Yes, do you have an opinion?" The little fat man accepted with a wooden face.

"Don't dare." Bai Sheng said with a smile, "But you can't rely on hunger to lose weight. This is before the college entrance examination. What should I do if I get hungry and affect my state? Or should I wait until the exam is over?"

Bai Hao didn't answer, but just stared at Bai Qi.Obviously, what Bai Qi said that day gave him a lot of stimulation, and he wanted to turn humiliation into motivation.

Bai Qi took a sip of wine carelessly, and said, "Let him subtract if you love it."

Bai Sheng shrugged, he wasn't really that worried, but he had to say what had to be said.

"You have to eat until the end at least today. If you pick up the dishes slowly, you will eat less. How ugly it is to not move your chopsticks like this."

Bai Qi almost burst out laughing.This is the biggest difference between him and Bai Sheng, and this difference made them grow into two completely different poles.

At that time, I clearly saw the divorce agreement that was deleted, deleted, modified, and bargained for, and my parents clearly knew that I had seen it.

But they don't point it out, the human world is sometimes more mysterious than ghost stories and myths, as long as some things don't point it out, even the shadow does not exist.They would rather not look at him and coax him with pocket money, just like coaxing four-year-old Bai Hao with toys.

Bai Qi also had a period of secondary school, always thinking of himself as the little boy in the emperor's new clothes.Walking in the world is full of ghosts and monsters.

However, later on, when he himself grew up, a new dress really slowly appeared in front of his eyes, exquisitely crafted and colorful.

And he actually embraced the disease brought about by the gene, put it on in a daze, adjusted the layers of collars, and tied the dense belts until he strangled himself to the point of suffocation.

After eating, Bai Hao was sent to wash the dishes, it was rare that Bai Qi didn't go back to the bedroom immediately, waiting for Bai Sheng to leave.

Bai Sheng suggested with a shy face, "How about going to watch TV?"

Bai Qi thought about it, nodded, and moved himself to the sofa in the living room.On weekdays, the sofa is just a decoration, and the TV is the same, and it can't be turned on a few times a year.

The party is being broadcast live on the radio.The show is boring, so boring that it provides entertainment instead.Bai Cheng planed an apple and cut it in half, handed one half to Bai Qi, and said with a smile: "This is called Fen Ping."

Bai Qi took a bite.

Bai Sheng cut the remaining half in half and handed a quarter to Bai Hao.Bai Hao stared at the TV with a distraught expression on his face, his eyes were staring at the thought of playing games, but he refused to speak.

He usually lives on campus, and lives in Bai Sheng's apartment during holidays, and keeps all his belongings in the apartment.Now to play games, you have to borrow Bai Qi's computer.He is a solid and principled second grader, and he would never beg his elder brother.

Bai Qi took the change of his expression as a show, watched it with interest for a while, and then said: "I'm tired."

"Eh?" Bai Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Then—then you go to bed early, we're leaving first."

"Ah."

Bai Sheng went to the kitchen to pack his things, returned to the living room, stood in front of Bai Qi and whispered, "Brother, happy new year, be healthy."

Bai Qi looked up at him without saying a word.

Bai Sheng didn't look back either: "This is my greatest, greatest wish."

"……Happy New Year."
