136 Suspicion
"Beichen, are you free for the past two days?" Pacing around her room, she walked to the windowsill of the cottage and waved the curtains, intentionally or not. But his mind was not there at all, but he listened to his own microphone with his ears pricked up.
Bei Chen's voice on the other end of the phone sounded very vague, "Oh, I just want to make up for the class and there is nothing else, you say." The boy was fiddling with his sneakers, so he had to press his shoulders and cheeks together.
"Do you have time tomorrow? How about going to the playground together? Tan Yufan walked to her small bed again, every time she heard Bei Chen's words, she had a heartbeat feeling, so just two simple words from a young man would make her blood surge, and she was even more full of expectations for his answer.
Unexpectedly, He Beichen didn't answer her, but looked like he was a little hesitant. His breathing was a little slow and rapid, as if he was about to answer her, and suddenly became a little short, "Oh, don't say anything, I'll call you later." Before Tan Yufan could answer, Beichen had already hung up the phone.
"Why are you here? Knocking on the door? There was an indescribable indifference in Bei Chen's eyes, and he looked at Xie Lan's eyes and felt some disgust.
"I'm your mother, what does it matter if I knock on the door or not?" Xie Lan hated him for questioning himself so much, so he rolled his eyes at him, "Who called just now?" As she spoke, she was going to snatch Beichen's mobile phone.
"You don't care." He Beichen was unusual, his attitude was cold, not to mention respect, not at all. He rarely spoke to his mother like this, but for some reason, he couldn't control himself at this time.
"Say it again." Xie Lan looked at the young man in front of him, with obvious anger on his face, "Your wings are stiff, I can't control you, can I?" Her brow furrowed together, as if she were about to be angry.
"Mom, you're enough." He Beichen was a little helpless about Xie Lan's attitude, "I listen to you in everything, what do you want me to do?" His tone was angry, but with a hint of pity.
"What do I want from you?" Xie Lan walked closer to him and crossed his hands on his waist, "He Beichen, is this your attitude towards me?" Someone calls you, can't I even ask? You're getting too much, kid. She was a little out of breath as she spoke.
"Ordinary classmates." He said lightly, for some reason, He Beichen seemed a little weak when he said this, he didn't look at his mother's eyes but sat down at the desk, absentmindedly sorting out the textbooks on it.
Fortunately, Xie Lan didn't pursue it, on the contrary, she actually walked in front of Bei Chen and began to flip through his exercise book. Bei Chen suddenly became vigilant, and found that his breathing began to become short, and he had finished everything he should have done, but he didn't know why he was so flustered. Xie Lan probably wanted to find something about him, and he was in a worse mood when he thought about it like this.
Bei Chen raised his head, but his originally dark eyes were bloodshot and full of tiredness at this time. Seeing Xie Lan's hand stop from time to time, her eyes staring at the exercises written in black and white, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
But who knew that the mother's face suddenly softened, and she seemed to be more satisfied, "You've reached page fifty-five." She flipped the page back and seemed to be talking to herself, "Well, okay, you can keep writing." ”
The woman said as she put the open workbook in front of the boy again, "I'm going out now." Xie Lan said and straightened the hair on his forehead, "It's about an hour, when I come back, you have to do at least page 60, understand?" There was an inexplicable confidence in her words, as if she believed that He Beichen would definitely listen to her words obediently.
"Understood." He still looked expressionless, but Xie Lan was wearing heavy makeup before meeting, and he always felt that something was wrong, "What are you doing out?" In the end, the boy did not suppress his curiosity and confided his doubts to his mother.
"Me." Xie Lan opened her mouth, her mouth was painted very red today, it was that gorgeous red. But in Beichen's impression, it seems that he has never seen Xie Lan dressed like this, "I'm going to the class reunion." When she said this, she looked a little flustered, which made Bei Chen seem to feel something, maybe Xie Lan was lying, otherwise, how could she be such a demeanor.
"You're going to a class reunion?" He Beichen's voice stammered a little, more like he was caught in a kind of thinking. He had the impression that his mother was very disgusted with this kind of party, not to mention that she had just attended a party not long ago, what was the matter? But before it was He Beichen's turn to think about it, Xie Lan interrupted him.
Xie Lan is Xie Lan, she only needs a second or two to recover her demeanor, "It's my business if I want to go out, what do you care about so much, do your questions." It was as if some secret had been discovered, but Beichen tried not to think so.
"Concentrate on the question, and when I come back, you should finish this chapter." Xie Lan finally warned angrily, and finally turned around and walked out of Beichen's room with his small leather bag.
"yes, okay." He Beichen replied extremely reluctantly, and finally heard the sound of the door being slammed shut by Xie Lan. At this time, Bei Chen was the only one left in the room. He looked at the workbook in front of him, flipped through it casually twice, but didn't want to start writing, but just put it aside, he sighed, and put down the pen with some irritation.
I don't know what my mother did, but the more I think about it, the more anxious I feel. Thinking about it, the young man couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and call Tan Yufan.
"Hey, Xuanfan......" After the phone was dialed, Beichen actually had a feeling that he had nothing to say, as if the words were on his lips. But he didn't want to doubt Xie Lan too much, this feeling really made him uncomfortable, and in the end, He Beichen just smiled helplessly.
"Well, what's wrong?" Bei Chen's desire to speak stopped making Xiao Universe feel very strange, and she suddenly seemed to remember something, "Oh, yes, I just came to you." She smiled a little embarrassedly as she spoke, "Well, are you still interested in watching the meteor shower together tomorrow night?" Yu Fan's tone was very cheerful, even though Bei Chen's heart had an indescribable sadness, but in the end, she was mobilized.
"Yes, no problem." The last time I went looking for meteor showers, the experience was not so pleasant, and I always had some regrets. Therefore, He Beichen is always unwilling, this feeling seems to be no different from the academic competition, "It's just that this time you have to remember to dress thicker." He seemed to be casually teasing, but in fact, he was obsessed with Fang Cai's mother's makeup.
"Xuanfan......" His voice suddenly stopped again, and some words were really difficult for him to speak.
"Well, what's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it. Tan Yufan was originally very lively, but suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the young man on the other end of the phone, so he restrained his joy.
"It's nothing, it's just ......" He Beichen always thought that he was talkative, but now that he was speechless, he took a breath of relief and said leisurely, "Yu Fan, you said that you saw a man looking for my mother that day." At this he paused again, trying to make his tone as soft as he could, after all, he didn't know what his mother was doing, and therefore he didn't want to think about it.
"Well, yes. What's wrong? Why are you asking about this all of a sudden? Tan Yufan felt that He Beichen's question was very strange, so she didn't know why, and felt that Beichen's mood should be low at this time. Xiao Universe realized that he shouldn't have asked too much about Beichen's family affairs, but his current state made Yu Fan's heart very uncomfortable, so she couldn't care about it so much at this time. Then he asked straight to the point, "What's wrong?" Xie Lan, did she have any unusual behavior? Her words seemed cautious, if she wasn't worried about He Beichen, she would never have asked so much.
Sure enough, as expected by Yu Fan, Bei Chen began to confess, "She just went out, and her makeup is very thick, so I suspect ......" Bei Chen's voice immediately slowed down again. It's not that Tan Yufan doesn't know what he wants to say, and he also feels that the young man's conjecture is inseparable, but he doesn't know how to comfort him.
He Beichen's suspicions are not unreasonable, a workplace strongman like Xie Lan will always be plain, if she wears heavy makeup, there must be a problem. Tan Yufan and Bei Chen have the same thoughts.
"So, what did she say?" After a long silence, there was finally movement on the other end of the phone. Tan Yufan was a little tired, so she simply changed her hand to get the phone, "Didn't you ask her?" Yu Fan was also a little anxious, she seemed to be more concerned about Xie Lan's dynamics than He Beichen.
"Hmm." No matter how lonely he felt in his heart, Bei Chen only spit out a word, and the young man swallowed his throat, as if he was trying to adjust his emotions, "I asked, she said she was going to the party, but I felt ......" he sighed as he spoke.
"Then you'll wait for her to come back." Tan Yufan cleverly changed the topic, "You see when she will come back." If it's early, there shouldn't be anything. She said with an indifferent attitude, but the ease she pretended to be was always helpless.
"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest." He Beichen didn't know whether he should say so much to Yu Fan, so he actually regretted it a little, "Then, I'll hang up." Before Tan Yufan could reply, he hung up the call. At this time, the empty room made Beichen feel even more sad, and in the next few minutes, he looked at the snow-white wall in a daze, but his father's face appeared in front of him.
