As soon as he got off the plane, Teng Xiaofeng got into the car arranged by Jiang Chen for him and went home.

At night, New York is a magical city, with dazzling neon lights, bright lights, and everything is both real and magical. How many people yearn and fascinate here, how many people will lose themselves here, prosperity will give rise to impetuousness, and how many people will be defeated by prosperity and fall into the whirlpool of impetuousness and cannot extricate themselves.

Teng Xiaofeng didn't like it since he was a child, although he grew up here, he always felt that he was part of the huge New York City, New York never gave him a sense of belonging, and this bustling city left him with only an ethereal shell impression and some unbearable memories of the past.

The car passed through the eighth street and nine mo, he looked at the world outside the car window, the bright light shining like the Milky Way of the street reminded him again and again that he was back in this city he hated, he closed his eyes, did not want to think about anything, tried to restore his brain to blank, and gradually fell into the unconscious.

Here he had a dream.

"Long time no see, I thought you would never come back." A teenager in a white school uniform stood on the rooftop, with his hands in his trouser pockets, as if he had foreseen that Teng Xiaofeng would come up.

"Are you okay?"

"It couldn't be better, you don't have to deliberately keep secrets, you feel like a cloud, fluttering. What about you, did you feel better when you finally escaped from college after going to college? The sunlight was a little dazzling, he turned his back and looked at Teng Xiaofeng standing outside the door with a smile, the stud in his left ear was dazzling in the sun.

"College was as boring as I thought it would be."

"College is a new beginning. Go ahead。 I choose liberation, but you have to move on. I never blame you, you need to reconcile with yourself. ”

"Kelvin, I'm sorry."

"You don't need to be sorry, for me, it takes more courage and determination to live than to die. It was only after I died that I realized that the world was very simple, but human beings were too complicated. Be yourself, my friend. K's figure stood in the sunlight, and then it became faint again, becoming as light as a rainbow.

"I'm ......" Teng Xiaofeng just wanted to say something, but was woken up by the driver.

Teng Xiaofeng opened his eyes and saw the home where he had lived for more than ten years. He didn't miss it very much, and he didn't feel much emotion, not so much that this was a home, but that it was just a house with a tiled head, and there was no welfare home that was lively and lively.

As soon as he got out of the car, Teng Xiaofeng's phone rang.

"Son, are you going to the United States?"

On the phone was a gentle and angry female voice.

"How do you know?"

"I came up to your gym and planned to get you some delicious food, and he told me when I asked Jiang Chen. What's wrong, all of a sudden I went to the United States, something happened? ”

Obviously told Jiang Chen not to tell anyone, this unreliable guy.

"It's just a friend."

"Oh, it just so happens that you are in the United States, help your mother buy a bag, your aunt is about to have a birthday, I want to buy a bag for her, and send it to you on WeChat in a while, oh yes, the company is busy these days, your father hasn't slept well for a few days, he is haggard a lot, I feel sorry for me, I heard that there is a good massager in the United States, I will send you in a while, and I bought it together." The woman's squeamish voice attracted the attention of many people in the gym, but the powerful aura exuded by the woman was not something that anyone could look at.

"Got it." After speaking, Teng Xiaofeng hung up the phone.

The furniture at home was all covered with white cloth, the doors and windows were closed, and the room was filled with a stuffy smell, Teng Xiaofeng didn't want to stay here for a moment. He carried his suitcase up to the second floor and returned to his fifty-square-meter world.

The room was still like that, he added a refrigerator and a microwave to the room so that he didn't go downstairs and stayed in the room, but now it was dusty, and the table was empty, except for a photo of him and K at the school basketball game on the bedside table.

This is when he first entered high school, not long after he met K, and worked closely with him at a basketball game, only to find out later that he was a Chinese-American mixed race, could speak Chinese and became good friends.

K is a young rock and roll who loves basketball and boxing, and he took Teng Xiaofeng to fall in love with rock and boxing, and they often go to shows and go to the gym to fight together. The freshman year of high school was their happiest time, Teng Xiaofeng recalled the past, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, as if there was a projector on the ground, projecting the past on the ceiling one by one.

That year, he was preparing for his sophomore year of high school, and when school was about to start, he asked K to go to a rock party, but he couldn't see K's figure halfway, so he slipped out to find him. No matter how you call him, he won't answer, there are many ruffians around here, Teng Xiaofeng was afraid that something would happen to him, so he looked for him everywhere around. Finally saw him in the depths of an alley, and when he was about to call him, he found that he was not alone, he was kissing someone, and he was indeed a little surprised when he saw it clearly, and he accidentally stepped on the beer can on the ground for this reason, and with a "click", shattered the silence of this moment, and also trampled on K's secret all along.

"Now that you've seen it, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Mark." K turned to Mark's side, the studs in his left ear glowing faintly in the dim light of the streetlight, "hey, don't worry, he is my good friend, Terrence."

Mark smiled at Teng Xiaofeng and lowered his head. It's obviously a secret of two people, and with one more person involved, the secret becomes a kind of worrying burden.

"I... I didn't find you at the party, I was worried that something was wrong with you, so I came out to look for you, and you were okay, so... I... I'll go back first. Teng Xiaofeng inadvertently saw through other people's secrets, and a sense of guilt and uneasiness welled up in his heart.

This is the back alley of the back alley, only a dim street lamp is shining on the seclusion here and supporting the silence here, and vaguely you can hear the rats making a little restless sound in the squirrel, Teng Xiaofeng doesn't know how he found here, so he inadvertently ruined a hard-won good night for K.

"Terence", K shouted Teng Xiaofeng, who wanted to evacuate here immediately.

"I'll keep it a secret for you." After speaking, Teng Xiaofeng immediately left here.

Teng Xiaofeng didn't ask K about this matter after that, since he had known K for more than a year, and they were both his best friends, he hadn't told himself his secret, which meant that it was very important to him, and he could only keep this secret with him if he didn't know what to do.

However, once the secret is discovered by a third party, the secret is like a time bomb that can be detonated at any time.

The secret was kept for half a semester, but eventually it became a well-known joke.

Teng Xiaofeng didn't know who leaked the secret, obviously waking up and opening his eyes, the world was still exactly the same as yesterday, but when he came to the school, he found that there was a qualitative difference.

From the moment Teng Xiaofeng stepped into the school, he felt the different eyes that everyone put on him, as well as the guidance of many discussions. He didn't care about any of this until he went to the classroom, where he saw a group of people heckling in the back, K bending over to clean up the textbooks that had been thrown everywhere on the floor and the table that had been kicked aside, and he saw "Gay!" written in colored pens on the table, "Gay! "He knew what was going on.

After school, he explained to K that he didn't reveal the secret, but K still didn't believe it, always thought it was him, and decided to break up with him.

At noon on this day, a post on the school's official website appeared with a photo of K and a man holding their shoulders and back. Everyone knew that K's boyfriend was not Teng Xiaofeng.

That is, on this afternoon, Teng Xiaofeng saw the person in the next class who targeted K with a group of people pointing fingers at K, Teng Xiaofeng stood in place and watched them slap K and immediately rushed over. This is Teng Xiaofeng's first time fighting, he is not an impulsive character, whether he wins the ball or passes by him, he will try his best to provoke Teng Xiaofeng, but in Teng Xiaofeng's eyes, it is just a group of boring people doing boring things and saying boring things, there is no need to take them seriously. Only this time, it's not okay to hurt the friends around you.

No matter which school Teng Xiaofeng goes to, he will be boycotted by the class because he is not an American. But he can endure all this, only K gave him an exception, so K is his best friend, and he can endure anything, but if he hurts the people around him, Teng Xiaofeng will have him to pay it back.

In the afternoon, it gets late after school, and there are always incidents of students beating students in the alleys outside the school, and school bullying does not respect national borders.

Gangsters don't have to be good people to be able to be, and gangsters with backgrounds are often more arrogant. Teng Xiaofeng met a dozen and four in the first fight, but fortunately, boxing was not practiced in vain. K stood aside in a panic, and no matter how much he shouted, he didn't seem to be able to hear him. But Teng Xiaofeng's punching speed was greater than their reaction speed, although he was also injured at the time, but seeing the four of them lying on the ground looking at his expression with resentment, Teng Xiaofeng still wanted to laugh when he thought about it now.

It was also because of this fight that Teng Xiaofeng was told by the school to suspend classes and go home for a week of reflection, and his father forbade him to go out, but what Teng Xiaofeng didn't expect was that just this week, something happened that affected his life.

On the day he returned to school to resume classes, K jumped off the roof of their school building, a seven-story school building, and he fell without hesitation, like a desperate bird.

Later, he learned that during this week, they intensified their bullying of K, and even went to investigate his family, constantly laughing about K's father in prison, constantly verbally insulting, mentally kidnapping, physically beating K, mentally torturing K, K's death, and no one around was innocent.

Teng's father immediately transferred Teng Xiaofeng to Teng Xiaofeng after knowing that there was a fall from the building, but no matter how the environment changed, he was always depressed and depressed.

The ceiling projection suddenly went black, and the brain projection froze. Teng Xiaofeng lay calmly on the bed, still dragging the photo with K in his hand, and gradually fell asleep.
