Not troubled by dreams, Qi Chen slept until he was woken up by the alarm clock, washed up, changed his clothes and went downstairs.
In the living room, Qi's father was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He turned around after hearing the movement, "Get up."
Qi Chen went downstairs, poured a glass of water and sat down beside Qi's father, "Dad."
Qi's father said "hmm", put away the newspaper and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Qi Chen said, "It's pretty good."
"Really?" Qi's father seemed a little surprised, "Father is still worried that you will suffer from insomnia."
Qi Chen understood, "Is it because of Aunt Pei?"
"After all, Dad is busy with work and has no time to take care of you. Although Aunt Hu and Xiao Fang can accompany you, they also have their own family after all. It is inevitable that there will be times when they can't take care of you. With your Aunt Pei here, Dad can rest assured .”
Father Qi paused, and then said: "But Dad was really worried at first, afraid that you would be unhappy and angry with Dad, and worried that Dad would not care about you in the future."
"...How is that possible." Qi Chen almost spit out a sip of water, and said, dumbfounded, "Dad, I'm sixteen, and I'm not a child."
"You're just too mature, with a gentle personality, just like your mother." Qi's father seemed both emotional and disappointed, "Sometimes my father hopes that you can act like a child, acting like a baby with him or something."
Qi Chen moved his lips, for a moment he couldn't tell whether Qi's father was joking or from the bottom of his heart.
When Qi's mother passed away, Qi Chen was only two years old and didn't remember anything. Her impressions of her all came from the descriptions of the adults around her and some short black and white videos and photos.
Judging from the photos only, Qi Chen is indeed very similar to Qi's mother. The overall outline is soft and not aggressive. It is as beautiful as water, which is easy to be liked.
And gentleness is also the description Qi Chen has heard most about Qi's mother from other people.
"dad……"
"but……"
The father and son both spoke and stopped at the same time, Qi Chen suppressed his emotions, "Let's talk first."
"It's nothing." Qi's father smiled, "I just want to say that there is nothing wrong with this. When your Aunt Pei brings Xiao Pei to live in, your brothers will not easily have conflicts."
brother.
Qi Chen lowered his eyes and turned the rim of the cup in his hand.
Qi's father said a few more words next, but Qi Chen didn't quite listen to them, and answered absently.Until Qi's father called him again, "By the way, what did you want to say just now?"
"Hmm." Qi Chen mumbled, and casually brought up a topic, "I just want to ask when they will move in, so I can make preparations."
"If you don't have any objections, let's do it tonight." Qi's father pondered for a short while, and said: "Dad will pick you up after school in the afternoon, and we will help them move together."
Qi Chen: "...OK."
It happened that Aunt Hu in the kitchen brought out the last dish, and the father and son ended the conversation and got up to go to the restaurant.Qi Chen took a step behind and followed behind, his eyes fell on Qi's father's back, and then slowly moved away.
For a moment just now, Qi Chen actually wanted to tell Father Qi that he can live well without other people taking care of him, as long as Father Qi can go home a few more times.
Fortunately, it was interrupted.
Qi Chen pulled out the chair and sat down, picked up the steaming bowl of porridge and blew on it, letting the rising white mist block his sight.
Otherwise, I really don't know how Qi's father will answer him, probably he will refuse.After all, Qi Chen in the original book resisted so fiercely that Pei Ruoyan's mother and son finally moved in.
*
Although there is a driver at home, Qi Chen rides a bicycle to school with Gu Mingye most of the time, and rarely acts alone.Even if someone is unable to go together because of something, they will notify the other party in advance. The situation like yesterday is a special case among special cases.
After eating, Qi Chen went to the entrance to change his shoes, and glanced at his phone by the way, unexpectedly found that Gu Mingye, who used to make serial calls in the past, was unreasonably quiet today.
Is it already gone?
Just as he was hesitating whether to ask, Qi's father called him, "It happens that Dad is going to the company too, so let's take you to school first."
Qi Chen said hello, put the phone away, and thought about going to school to talk about it.
The black car slowly drove out of the gate of the villa, and was about to turn a corner, but the driver Xiao Fang suddenly let out a "huh" and asked uncertainly, "Is that Xiao Gu over there?"
Gu Mingye?
Qi Chen looked along and found a bicycle parked under the tree facing the gate of his villa.The boy in school uniform stood on one foot, lying on the bicycle with the upper half of his body, only the back of his head was exposed.
Even though there was only one back of the head, Qi Chen recognized it at a glance, it was indeed Gu Mingye.
"Gu Mingye?" Qi Chen lowered the window of the car and yelled twice, but Gu Mingye didn't respond, he got out of the car and went over to see that the man was lying on the car and fell asleep.
I can sleep in this position.
Convinced, Qi Chen reached out to push Gu Mingye awake, "Why did you fall asleep here?"
"I'll be waiting for you." Gu Mingye rubbed his eyes, still staring in a daze, "I'm a little sleepy waiting, so I just want to squat on my stomach for a while."
Qi Chen: "...why didn't you call me?"
"It's too early, it wasn't dawn when I came here." Gu Mingye yawned, and his voice was soft with sleepiness, "Aren't you sick? It's cold in the morning, and it's not good if the condition worsens. "
Qi Chen was at a loss for words, with mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Gu Mingye woke up a little bit, and noticed the car parked behind him, "Uncle Xiao Fang, is he seeing you?"
"Yeah." Qi Chen said, "My dad is here too."
"That's it." Gu Mingye couldn't hide his disappointment, "Then don't waste your time, I'll go to school by myself."
"……do not."
Stared at by the other party's pitiful eyes like a puppy, Qi Chen couldn't resist and sighed in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold him, and said in a helpless tone, "If you dare to ride over now, Lao Xia dares to make you stand."
Pushing the bicycle into his home temporarily, Qi Chen led the people back to the car, and Gu Mingye greeted Qi's father, "Hello, Uncle."
"Xiao Gu." Qi's father was also very familiar with this lively son of his friend's family, and joked with a smile: "Why did you fall asleep in the car?"
"Too sleepy." Gu Mingye scratched his hair embarrassingly, and asked Qi's father, "When did uncle come back?"
Father Qi: "I just came back yesterday, so I took Chenchen to have a meal."
"No wonder." Gu Mingye said: "I promised Ah Chen yesterday to come and see him in the evening, but there was no one there until nine o'clock."
It was only then that Qi Chen remembered that there was still this matter, and looked back from the passenger seat to the back seat, "Why didn't you send me a message?"
Gu Mingye snorted, "You ignored me again."
Qi Chen: "..."
No wonder I came to wait at his door early in the morning before dawn, it turned out to be blocking him.
There was still a short distance away from the school, so Qi Chen pulled Gu Mingye out of the car together.Although the latter was curious, he didn't ask in front of Qi's father, and waited for the car to leave before saying: "Why don't you let Uncle Xiao Fang stop at the main entrance."
Qi Chen took out his phone and checked the time, "Didn't you have dinner yet?"
Gu Mingye: "How do you know I haven't eaten yet?"
Qi Chen: "I'm not stupid."
Confirming that there is enough time, Qi Chen put away his phone, took Gu Mingye to the nearest breakfast shop, packed a copy and handed it to the other party, "Time is a bit tight, let's eat while walking."
Qi Chen walked a few steps, and found that Gu Mingye hadn't followed, turned around and saw that the person stopped and looked at him, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"
"Ah Chen." Gu Mingye suddenly called his name, and stepped forward two steps to stand in front of him.
The distance suddenly narrowed, Qi Chen subconsciously wanted to step back, and held back a step before his body moved, "Huh?"
Gu Mingye's earlobe hidden in his hair slowly turned red, he opened and closed his mouth, repeated several times, and finally choked out a sentence, "You're so kind." After a pause, he said, "I'm not angry with you anymore."
Qi Chen: "...?"
Because of Gu Mingye's inexplicable delay, the two of them almost stepped into the classroom.Lao Xia patrolled the two of them back and forth with his scrutinizing eyes, and finally waved his hands to let them go.
The other seats were already full, and Qi Chen saw his new seat at a glance, which was in the last row.
Without a tablemate, Qi Chen occupied two seats by himself, which can be called a VIP seat.He wasn't short, and when he sat down, he could see the backs of most people's heads in front of him, which gave him a sense of novelty.
After two classes, the others went downstairs to practice between classes. Qi Chen explained to the Disciplinary Committee and went to the office to make up for yesterday's leave.He knocked on the door and went in, and unexpectedly found that Pei Ruoyan was there, talking to Lao Xia.
"Come to make up the leave?" Lao Xia raised his eyes to see him, took out a piece of paper for him, and nodded to the table behind, "Sign it for me when you finish writing."
Qi Chen responded, pulled up the chair and began to fill in the stuff. He heard the conversation between the two in the gap, and learned that it was Lao Xia who was explaining to Pei Ruoyan some materials for transferring to another school.
The two finished it almost at the same time, and left the office one after the other.The exercise between classes was not over yet, and there was no one in the corridor. The sunlight elongated the shadows of the two of them, and they were reflected obliquely in the aisle.
Thinking of Qi's father saying "brother" in the morning, Qi Chen understood that the relationship between the two could not be separated.But he can't stay like this all the time, at least he is a few months older than Pei Ruoyan, so he should be more magnanimous.
"Pei Ruoyan." Qi Chen took the initiative to call the other party's name, "You..."
He originally wanted to ask Pei Ruoyan about moving in the evening, but when he opened his mouth, he remembered what he had just settled with Qi's father in the morning. This person probably didn't know about it, so he changed his words: "Thank you for yesterday's matter."
Pei Ruoyan glanced at him, and his tone didn't fluctuate, "Didn't you already thank you yesterday?"
"It's different." Qi Chen said, "Today is more formal."
In order to prove his own words, Qi Chen said again: "I'll treat you to dinner at noon."
It is said to be a treat, but in fact it is just a meeting on the second floor of the attached Chinese restaurant.Pei Ruoyan turned around behind him, and said in a disgusted tone, "It's the first time I see someone treating guests to a restaurant."
"You won't be allowed to leave the school gate at noon, you can make do with it." Qi Chen said: "If it's really not possible, I'll ask Aunt Hu to go home at night..."
Pei Ruoyan's face froze, Qi Chen guessed that he must have been notified by Pei's mother that he was about to move, and judging by his expression, he was probably not very willing, so he swallowed the second half of the sentence back.
After being quiet for a while, Pei Ruoyan finally said, "I'll eat here."
He stopped in front of the claypot rice window, Qi Chen went up to swipe his card, and after ordering for two people, he asked for an extra one.
Pei Ruoyan frowned, "Can you finish eating?"
"Huh?" Qi Chen explained: "No, Gu Mingye was called over by the teacher and asked me to make a copy for him. He will come over later."
Pei Ruoyan: "..."
It just so happened that Gu Mingye called to ask where they were, Qi Chen replied a few words and hung up the phone, only to see Pei Ruoyan standing with his back facing him, looking a little angry from the back, "What's wrong with you?"
Pei Ruoyan moved his lips, glanced at him, snorted and turned his head, "It's nothing."
Qi Chen: "..."
The two found a seat and sat down. A few minutes later, Gu Mingye came over and sat down next to Qi Chen, excitedly saying, "Ah Chen, I just..."
He output continuously for a few minutes, stopped to drink water, as if he finally saw the person opposite, "Hey, why are you here."
In the living room, Qi's father was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. He turned around after hearing the movement, "Get up."
Qi Chen went downstairs, poured a glass of water and sat down beside Qi's father, "Dad."
Qi's father said "hmm", put away the newspaper and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
