45. Chapter 45
"Thank you." The man with the test paper stood at the backstage exit. When he saw them coming, he stepped forward and thanked them solemnly.
Jian Bai walked in front, saw this and took half a step back, keeping a reassuring distance from the man, and then said; "No, you don't." Of course she knew what the man was thanking for. After all, the acceptance of homosexuality is not high now, and if they say it on stage just now, it may have an extremely bad impact on him.
Yes, this man is gay. When she was on stage before, she found out that not only her, but also Song Cheng, but they all chose to remain silent at the same time.
The man's inconsistencies weren't just about accessories. As a long-distance freight driver, his complexion still looks good when he often turns day and night upside down, which shows that he has put a lot of thought into this. He was dressed in a low-key manner, but the stud on his left ear was a metal skull. Different from the brand-new accessories that the organizers of the previous competition asked him to wear, this earring has been rubbed a little old, which shows the owner's love for him. And this stud is very aggressive, contrary to this man's low-key and peaceful temperament, it is not difficult to see that his homosexual nature should be very flamboyant and domineering, and this should be something similar to a love token between them. The most important thing is that when she was in contact with the woman, the man's hand shrank quickly, and his eyes were evasive, and the Adam's apple kept sliding, which should have been physiologically repulsive. But when he came into contact with men, all of the above symptoms disappeared. However, it is not known whether it was born or developed later.
After sending the man away, Yang Zhishen, who had been holding back for a long time after hearing what he said, finally asked, "Why did he say thank you?" ”
Jian Bai shrugged, "Who knows? ”
Yang Zhishen feigned anger: "If you don't like to say it, don't say it." Then he looked at the time and said, "Let's go, it's almost four o'clock, and if you delay any longer, you won't be able to catch the last train." ”
"Where's our prize?" Jane blinked her eyes.
"You still have the face to ask for a prize? How dare you pretend to be dizzy! "It's okay not to mention this stubble, he gets angry when he mentions it. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Changyu has been an old classmate for many years, he is willing to take the initiative to come to the stage to help them clean up the mess. Otherwise, don't say that Song Cheng suffered from heat stroke, even if he had a stroke, he had to finish the game.
"If I knew that I wouldn't have come, the bamboo basket would be empty." Jane muttered.
Yang Zhishen shook his head, crying and laughing, but he wouldn't tell him that the prizes and medals were distributed directly to the school to which he belonged, and then he would scare them when school started.
Jian Bai, who thought that this matter had been turned over, was still too simple, and now she would never know how much turmoil and restlessness it would cause after the provincial TV station broadcast this program tomorrow.
When they returned to City B, it was only four or five o'clock. Yang Zhishen was already a little motion sick, and he was dragged by Jian Bai to rehearse all the way, and now his eyes are shaking in circles.
After finding a friend to send Song Cheng home, Yang Zhishen followed him to Jian Bai's house to "send money".
Before he reached the entrance of the alley, a bunch of bear children pounced, but fortunately, Jian Bai was strong and strong, so he was not pressed down.
"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, you are back!"
"Brother Bai, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Wang Xiaobao's little short legs were not as fast as his brother's, and by the time he arrived, Jian Bai was already surrounded by groups. However, he was also smart, relying on his small size, he broke through the encirclement from below, and then pounced on Jian Bai's legs.
"Brother Bai, I miss you."
Jian Bai only felt that his legs were sinking, and when he looked down, he saw Song Xiaobao, who looked like a leprosy plaster, half lying on top of her, and his two fleshy hands were still vigorously grabbing her pants.
"I said why did the two boys rush so fast, it turned out that Ah Bai was back."
It's been a while since I've been off work, and the alley is also the most lively here. Liu Qing found a few card friends, and while he still had time, he put the table out and played two rounds of mahjong to get over his hands. Playing cards, onlookers, and chess, there were more than 10 people around. Hearing Liu Qing's words, they all raised their heads and looked over.
"Ouch, Bai is back!"
"Haha, you don't even know, that girl in my family didn't find you today, but I missed you for a day."
"My bastard is not yet, I got up today, Brother Bai, Brother Bai, I said I wanted to play with him, and he still disliked me. Well, I'd better play my own cards. ”
"Huh, what is this?" Someone noticed the elegant man who was following Jian Baisheng.
Jian Bai's face did not change, "Teacher Yang, you came to visit my house today." ”
The old men who were playing chess under the banyan tree had long been attracted by this movement, and after hearing Jian Bai's words, they smiled and praised them.
"It turned out to be a teacher, no wonder it looks so energetic."
Then as soon as the conversation changed, he began to boast violently. "Haha, Teacher Yang, let me tell you, this Ah Bai is really a good boy, smart and sensible, and he will be terrible in the future."
"Well, it's good for Jian Bai to behave at home, so don't worry, teacher."
Yang Zhishen was driven duck to the shelf and became a teacher, and he understood the meaning of the words, and even smiled and said, "Jian Bai, this student, I naturally believe it." The old men can also rest assured that today's home visit is just a routine matter, not a complaint. ”
"That's good, that's good."
"Then what's the delay, let's go up quickly."
Hearing this, the old men who were worried about it let Yang Zhishen go with a smile. He waved at them and continued to play chess.
"I can't see that it's so popular."
Jian Bai was proud: "That's!" Don't look at who I am? ”
Then he said: "Brother Yang, I'll leave it to you later!" When this is over, you will be invited to dinner. As he spoke, he hit his shoulder with his fist in a decent manner.
Yang Zhishen has a black line, "What a big hairy boy, he actually knows that he wants to invite him to dinner." ”
The door was open, and Jian Bai called tentatively, "Mom, I'm back." ”
"Is this Mr. Yang?" Wu Jing wiped her hands and walked over.
Jian Bai was surprised: "How do you know?" ”
"There's so much movement downstairs that I'll be able to see it when I poke my head out on the balcony."
"Then you asked me just now."
"Isn't this the opening remark of a greeting, what do you know kid?" Wu Jing gave Jian Bai a big look, and then beckoned Yang Zhishen and said, "Yo, teacher, please come in." Look at me, I forgot to greet you when I was patronizing and talking. ”
Yang Zhishen waved his hand politely: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"Where's my brother?" Jian Bai asked again.
"I'll ask your brother to buy some food for me at the vegetable market, and this one is the cheapest." Then he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yang Zhishen, "Teacher, you see, our family has nothing to entertain, this ......"
Yang Zhishen put down the teacup in his hand and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." I can do anything. ”
"And you're here today?" Wu Jing was a little apprehensive. It was the first time a teacher had visited her home, and she didn't know what to do.
"Uh... Sorry to lie to you before. Actually, I'm not a teacher, I'm just a businessman in the antiques business. ”
Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, she couldn't react to what this meant.
Seeing this, Jian Bai hurriedly seized the right to speak. "Mom, that's the case, when I was playing with this cup today, I was seen by this uncle, he had to buy it, I said I couldn't help him, so let him come back with me and let you call the shots."
"What cup?" Wu Jing's head was still stuck, "Are you talking about the rhino horn cup in my room?" ”
Jian Bai pretended to be stupid, "Ahaha, is this cup called a rhino horn cup?" What a nice name? ”
Wu Jing's face sank and asked, "What about the cup?" ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to slide towards a strange place, Yang Zhishen hurriedly interrupted. "Don't worry, the cup is still in Jian Bai's hand, so I didn't give it to me. I came here today to buy this cup for 500,000 yuan, what do you think? ”
"Five hundred thousand!" Wu Jing was taken aback, when she first arrived in City B, when she was going to sell this cup, she also asked someone to help him take a look, and the person said that if it sold well, it would be about 300,000. But within a few years, the price rose to 550,000.
Of course, Yang Zhishen knew that Wu Jing was surprised to have this reaction, but thinking of Jian Bai's previous advice, he thought for a while and then said, "Do you think this price is less?" What about 550,000? Couldn't be more. ”
"Five hundred and fifty thousand?" Wu Jing didn't expect that a sentence would add 50,000 out of thin air. She is not a woman who has never seen the world, before the change, although 50,000 was more, it was not to the point where she was pleasantly surprised and almost fainted. But now... She just felt like her heart was going to pop out.
Yang Zhishen asked: "What do you think of this price?" ”
Wu Jing hesitated. The family has been embarrassed to this point, rather than holding this dead thing, it is better to sell it, this is what she has always thought, and it is still the same. So the sale must be sold, and her only concern is that she is afraid that this is a scam, and the two ends will be empty when the time comes......
As if seeing Wu Jing's thoughts, Yang Zhishen smiled. "So, I'll give you the phone, and we'll go to the bank together tomorrow. When the time comes, I will transfer 300,000 yuan to you first, and when you get the money and give me the things, I will transfer the rest of the money to you on the spot. ”
"Good!" This method is quite safe, even if it is a liar, 300,000 is enough for their family.
Seeing that the matter was negotiated so quickly, Yang Zhishen was also very happy, simply said goodbye, and got up to leave.
After Wu Jing said a good word, she stayed there, her mind in a mess. Seeing that he was leaving, he barely withdrew from his chaotic thoughts. "Mr. Yang, this is leaving? Why don't you have another light meal at our house? ”
"No, I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
If it were in normal times, Wu Jing might have to keep it enthusiastically, but now she really doesn't have any extra thoughts. had no choice but to say, "Okay, Ah Bai, you can send him." ”
Yang Zhishen wanted to shirk it, but thinking that he still wanted to ask Jian Bai something, he agreed.
There was not much movement of the door closing, but it still brought the living room to tremble slightly.
Wu Jing didn't get up to send the guest to the door, this was the first time she was so rude.
Tomorrow, she will be able to get rid of this embarrassment to the extreme.
Ah Bai no longer has to be blinded and discriminated against by her power class teacher. No, it should be said that she can finally get Abai out of that deformed environment and have a responsible teacher. Ah Bai never said anything about her at school before, but now she only reports good news and not bad news, picking some interesting things to tell her. But this doesn't mean that she really doesn't know what kind of life Ah Bai lives in school. But what if you know? She is like duckweed in this city, and she has nothing to rely on. And the high school choice fee shattered all her delusions.
Tomorrow and tomorrow, after tomorrow, Jian Yu will be able to go to school with peace of mind, and she will not break her heart for her family anymore. Now when he is growing his body, in order to save money for a meal at noon, he always sends away two steamed buns. Thinking about the beautiful life of Jian Bai and Jian Yu in the future, Wu Jing's somewhat haggard face was also full of smiles.
There is also a hint of amazement in the ridiculousness. After she sold the rhino horn cup, does this mean that she really has no connection with that family anymore?
……
"Ah Bai, why don't you tell them the truth?" Yang Zhishen was puzzled.
Jane was silent.
Seeing that Jian Bai avoided talking about it, Yang Zhishen didn't force it anymore, just smiled. "Before, I was still thinking about why you and Song Cheng have different personalities, but they can get along so well. Now that I think about it, you two are people of the same world. ”
A ...... of the world Is it?
Jian Bai didn't speak again, and there was no sound in the narrow corridor except for the deep and different breathing of the two of them.
Yang Zhishen also felt that he had gone too far today, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and changed the topic. "You say, will I really have an extra 550,000 in my account tomorrow?"
"Hmm."
"Don't you know that wealth moves people's hearts? You've got a big heart. ”
"Small money."
"Hey, you're really ......" The ridiculous words couldn't be said anymore, and with a sigh, Yang Zhishen gently touched her head. Don't be too pushy, you'll get tired. ”
"Well, I've known for a long time."
Jian Yu also knew about this at dinner. But after knowing it, he only asked a few questions about Yang Zhishen, and after confirming that he should not be a liar, he didn't react much. Jian Bai was a little speechless, what about doubts? What about follow-up? What about excitement? Excited? Why didn't her brother have the reaction that these normal people should have...... Actually, her brother is born again, right?
Afraid of long nights and dreams, he estimated that Wu Jing, who had already opened the bank, early the next morning, made a call to Yang Zhishen and went out. And because he was too excited yesterday, Jian Bai, who was very energetic in the first half of the night, was still in a state of delirium after being woken up by Lan Xin. When she was sleepy-eyed and took out the garbage storage in the kitchen to throw it away, she was blinded by the person outside the door.
Song Cheng leaned on the railing, immersed in the book in his hand, and didn't even pay attention to Jian Bai looking at the door. The boy's hands were beautiful, fair and slender, with well-defined bones. When his hand slid over the title page, it was like a beautiful work of art on display, so beautiful that Jane Bai, who claimed to have experienced a hundred battles, trembled.
She cleared her throat and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"It's strange that I'm not here. Hearing this," Song Cheng closed the book and said with a smile. The delicate strands of hair moved slightly, and the small whirlpools on the cheeks also appeared.
"After all, we have an appointment, we want to be together."
