Chapter 48: So You Know
Cui Peiya saw that the architect didn't want to talk much about himself, so he smiled, and the topic slipped away, talking about the Archie family he was about to meet.
"Are you saying that the child's father and mother have secretly divorced, and the child doesn't know about it?"
"Yes. It's not one child, it's two. Little brother and little sister. β
"Bastard!" The architect let out a low roar.
"......" Cui Peiya was a little surprised. After all, the architect seems to be well-mannered, a gentleman of elegance. Although his clothes were wrinkled, they were obviously of good material; Although his expression is lazy, his skin texture is delicate, and he looks like a person who has never experienced wind and rain; In addition, he has both a short inch on his head and a ponytail, which makes him look very trendy and young.
Unexpectedly, such a boy would also scold a "bastard" regardless of his public image.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he looked at Cui Peiya's surprised gaze. The architect smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm sorry, but your words brought back unpleasant memories of the past. β
"Oh." Cui Peiya let out a stupid "oh".
"The two kids you're talking about are the same as what happened to me when I was a kid. My parents divorced, and everyone around me knew about it, but I was the only one who was in the dark. In doing so, they made me a target of ridicule.
When the people around me are frowning, I am the only one who is a fool.
When the people around me are worth it, I am the only one who doesn't understand.
Damn it!
It makes me disgusted with a lot of people. It even makes me world-weary. β
Cui Peiya was startled.
The architect opened up to him coldly, and he felt overwhelmed.
"I don't know, I don't know what Archie and Ah Qiao would think if they found out one day that their parents were actually divorced?"
"Tell those two kids! They have the right to know! There was a strange light in the architect's eyes.
"Nope! No, no! That's cruel! β
"You haven't experienced it, you don't understand, everyone knows that only if they are kept in the dark, it is called cruelty!"
Cui Peiya opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
He vaguely thought that if the architect took matters into his own hands and told the little brothers and sisters something they shouldn't know, wouldn't he have brought a broom star to the little brothers and sisters?
"You can't! You are not eligible! Cui Peiya raised her voice.
The architect didn't speak, but twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled. In his indifferent eyes, there was clearly wantonness written in it. As if to say, hmph, you can't watch out for me 24 hours a day, look, I always have a chance to tell the truth to that little brother and sister.
In the architect's playful laughter, Cui Peiya felt a chill in his back.
Is it too late to drag the architect back to Yunhai City now?
It's obviously too late.
The plane was already on the ground.
After all, he is tasked with collecting crowdfunding information, and the architect has to survey the landscape on the spot. Building a school for children seems to be the more important fact.
Cui Peiya could only secretly remind himself that after arriving at the Crescent Moon Village, he must watch the architect in prison, and he must not be allowed to stay alone with any of the little brothers and sisters.
The architect had a friend in a small county town, and after getting off the airport bus, the architect called his friend with a phone call. He was a sunny and handsome young boy with a professional camera around his neck.
As soon as Cui Peiya saw him, her eyes straightened.
"Hey, this is my photographer friend. This is a children's writer and a writer on the public account. Introduce each other by name. Or, lazy introduction, you call him 'writer' and you call him 'photographer', which is fine. β
Cui Peiya and the photographer laughed out loud at the same time.
The two of them laughed and stretched out their hands, and the two big hands held together and shook vigorously.
"You know?"
Cui Peiya and the photographer nodded at the architect.
"There is a generation gap between the two of you, and you are so far apart, how did you know each other?"
Cui Peiya knew that architects didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark, so he quickly explained.
"It's because of that little brother and sister. I couldn't help but be curious before I met them. β
The photographer held up the camera in front of him and smiled, "I have pictures of them here." β
However, the architect is a man of personality and he refuses to look at the photographs first. The first thing he wants to see is himself. In his words, it's about avoiding "preconceived notions."
Cui Peiya smiled tolerantly, and didn't break it: since he had heard so much about the truth about his little brother and sister, he was already preconceived.
The photographer drove a Volkswagen car and went all the way to the crescent moon village at a speed like a tour.
A car drove into the village - the villagers were already familiar with this. Not to mention those elderly people who are already as calm as water, those children are no longer strange.
Ever since I saw the bright yellow sports car of the costume designer, the villagers of Crescent Moon Village are all people who have opened their eyes. Well-informed, the average little black car is only worthy of them to take a look.
The photographer's little black crowd stopped silently in front of Archie's house.
The villagers were also surprised that the car was parked in front of Archie's house.
That expression, as if it were not in front of Archie's house, would be strange.
"Archie, you're a guest." Duoduo, who teased the cat at the gate, tore open her loud and crisp sweet voice, and shouted like a song.
After the photographer got out of the car, he happily squatted down and took a picture of Duoduo and the cat. Duoduo immediately ran over: "Show me." Is it good-looking? It's not good-looking, but you have to delete it. β
The tone is so familiar that it can only be said that photographers often come.
The architect glanced at his friend, but he didn't say anything, he must have an idea in his heart. Just by looking at his stupid eyes, you know.
Archie lifted the thin curtainβthe thick winter curtain had just been removed yesterday. Grandma originally intended to go a few days later, but she couldn't resist her sister, who felt that the thick door curtain was hanging, and the indoor air was congealed. "I can't breathe," she said.
Three tall, thin men walked in at the gate of the courtyard. Led by Uncle Choi Peiya.
Before he could see who the other two were, Archie rushed over eagerly.
He suddenly hung on Cui Peiya's neck. The emaciated Cui Peiya almost couldn't bear it.
"Hahaha, good boy, you're growing again. It's more than half a head of sweetheart. β
The photographer was used to seeing Archie and didn't pay much attention to it.
The architect was almost stunned. He saw Archie's black, stiff hair standing on end; He saw two lumps of frozen redness on Archie's healthy, wheat-colored skin; He saw the smile in Archie's eyes almost spread; He saw Archie's athletic and flexible body......
Isn't that the one who came through time and space?
The photographer saw the architect in a daze, and bumped the architect with his arm: "Alas, have you noticed that this half-size boy has a little imagination with you?" β
Somehow, the architect's eyes turned red and he turned his head to look away.
