But after seeing himself, the obvious unhappiness suddenly changed to another expression.

Chu Yigui smiled, but Wan Qiu still didn't read 'happy' in his smile.

Occasionally, mom does that.

I'm in a bad mood, but I still laugh and show a 'happy' expression in front of my father, but my mother is not happy.

The man was not happy.

If it is usual, when he encounters someone who is 'unhappy', Wanqiu will avoid it.

For example, today's beautiful woman, after obviously showing her 'unhappy' eyes, Wanqiu chose to run away.

But now that he and Chu Yi are friends, friends are unhappy and can't be avoided, friends are meant to be together.

If you want to be together, you have to bear the 'unhappiness' of your friends.

Wan Qiu's small joy of having a friend was enough for him to be willing to bear something.

Wan Qiu's hands covered the severely bruised part of his lower abdomen that was involved in pain in his legs: "Can you not fight here?" ”

Chapter 10

The thin and stunted teenager, his eyes were all blocked, he was shrouded in the shadow of a tree, the broken sun shone mottled, he stood quietly in front of Chu Yigui, as if he was an inconspicuous gravel that could be kicked at will.

Sitting in the car, Chu Yigui has always watched the dynamics of Wan Qiu and Yang Xiaoyu in his eyes, and the hideous bruises on Wan Qiu's abdomen have not been missed.

And now the slender arm is vaguely covering the lower abdomen, which is the last self-protection of the young man, and he closes his eyes slightly as if waiting for something.

What Wan Qiu said made Chu Yi full of astonishment.

Wan Qiu was hinting that he was ready to be beaten, and that he was ready to accept the pain that might come.

But no one knows whether gravel is willing to be kicked or not, and human beings are not stones, pain is an early warning of the body, and it is a rejected existence.

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you mean, what do you mean by 'not hitting here'?" Chu Yigui thought that there was a deviation in the communication between them.

Wan Qiu pursed her lips: "Hitting here, it hurts more than usual." ”

Wan Qiu blinked, he would be wrong, and even gave up the last vain resistance, he put down his hands to protect himself, defenseless.

Chu Yigui half-bent down and looked at Wan Qiu's eyes.

"Why should I hit you?" Chu Yigui's voice was gentle, with an imperceptible inducement, wanting to seek the meaning behind this move, "Which of my words and actions made you feel that I was going to hit you?" ”

Wan Qiu stared into Chu Yigui's eyes and opened his mouth: "You're not happy." ”

For Wan Qiu, it is difficult to use more complex words to describe the emotions displayed by Chu Yigui.

At this moment, Chu Yigui seemed to understand something.

At this time, even if Chu Yigui's smile was still at the corner of his mouth, his gaze towards Wan Qiu was already a little complicated.

Chu Yigui was very smart, and immediately understood that the fleeting emotion that could not be hidden just now was captured by Wan Qiu.

Chu Yigui hid his keen surprise at Wan Qiu, and his voice was slightly lower than before: "Why am I not happy and want to beat you?" ”

Wan Qiu lowered his eyes, his shoulders shrunk compared to before, his body tensed, and he lowered his head, as if he was trampled and drowned in the crowd until he was dusty and would not be noticed.

Chu Yigui couldn't see Wan Qiu's eyes, maybe Wan Qiu didn't want to see it himself, straightened up, and looked down at the hair of Wan Qiu's slightly long hair.

Wan Qiu was refusing to answer his question.

Even if he was the same age, Chu Yigui saw a weak child who did not match his actual age, and tried to use silence to protect the wicked.

"If you're not happy, you'll be beaten." Chu Yigui thought about it carefully, trying to understand this logic, "Did someone do this to you?" ”

Wan Qiu's body stiffened, and his fingers subconsciously grasped the hem of his clothes, probably too thin, and any little body language would be amplified.

Chu Yigui frowned, Wan Qiu's shrinkage made Chu Yigui understand that the logic of being beaten if he was unhappy was likely to have been engraved into Wan Qiu's instinct.

"Can you look up at me?" Chu Yigui found a more convenient way to ask, a child who is not good at hiding, or who doesn't know how to hide, should communicate.

Wan Qiu was very obedient, raised his head, and his clear eyes were still filled with light-colored panic, framing Chu Yi in it.

"Who's doing this? Who gets angry and hits you? Chu Yigui asked.

Wan Qiu's eyes looked away.

But a hand touched Wan Qiu's cheek, making Wan Qiu's pupils reflect Chu Yigui's shadow again.

Chu Yigui recaptured Wan Qiu's gaze and stared at Wan Qiu's eyes seriously: "Who is doing it here?" Father? Mom? Grandmother? Relatives? Elders? Schoolmate? Friend? Neighbor? ”

Every time he pronounced a title, Chu Yigui would pause, and from Wan Qiu's expression that he couldn't hide, he at least affirmed the first three.

Chu Yigui took a deep breath, and the fingertips that caressed Wan Qiu's cheek seemed to have a slight tingling.

It's not cool in the summer, but the fingertips are all cold to the touch.

"Are you just going to let someone beat you?" I have hands and feet, I am not disabled, I can run and move, I can't fight back but at least I have to be able to run.

Wan Qiu shook his head: "I will run." ”

"Then why don't you run?" Chu Yigui heard this answer, but the mood that gradually filled the fog never dissipated, if he could run, then why did he think he was unhappy, but he was still standing here?

"We're friends." Wan Qiu said.

Chu Yigui opened his mouth, but he just asked, "If it's a friend, don't you run?" ”

Wan Qiu nodded: "Friends are meant to be together." ”

Chu Yigui frowned slightly: "Do you treat your friends like this?" ”

Wan Qiu shook his head.

"It's just me?" Today is the first time Wan Qiu has met Chu Yigui, and now it is just the second real conversation between Wan Qiu and him.

"Yes." Wan Qiu responded.

"Why?"

"Only you are my friend." Wan Qiu looked at Chu Yigui's eyes clear and bright, and when this sentence came out, Chu Yigui saw Wan Qiu's emotions for the first time.

It was as if I had witnessed the surface of the calm and clear lake, and suddenly a small red fish named Joy jumped up.

Chu Yigui was suddenly dumbfounded.

The heart seemed to be pierced by a swaying fishtail, and it was very uncomfortable.

Chu Yigui felt something choke his neck and block his voice.

Chu Yigui pondered, hesitated, and tentatively before he spoke again.

"I'm not upset, I won't beat you, I just have something I want to do, I'm a little embarrassed, I don't know how to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Wan Qiu's whole body suddenly relaxed, and he believed it without any doubt or defense.

The eyes of complete trust made Chu Yigui unable to look directly, looked away, and said, "I want to go to your house, is it okay?" Don't all friends go to other people's houses? ”

It was the first time Wan Qiu had heard such a request.

It was also the first time he had been asked to be a friend.

What should a friend do? There are a lot of different friends among my classmates, dad has dad friends, mom has mom friends.

Dad would bring friends home for dinner and drink, and Mom would bring friends home for chatting and drinking.

Mom didn't say he couldn't bring his friends home, didn't say it, can he do it?

What Mom and Dad do, he can do.

Friends ...... Take it home.

"Okay." Wan Qiu smoothed out the logic about his friends and said, "I'm going home now, I'll take you home." ”

Although it was a strange language expression, Chu Yigui was approved.

"Thank you."

When Wan Qiu turned around, Chu Yigui saw Wan Qiu's side face.

He's actually pretty good.

Vaguely, Chu Yigui saw the more beautiful Wan Qiu at that moment, his lips pursed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

It's just that Chu Yigui can't judge whether the fleeting happiness is imaginary or real.

Chapter 11

Chu Yigui connected the mobile phone to the headset, and after the debugging was successful, he redialed the phone, and Yang Xiaoyu immediately picked it up, obviously having been waiting for a long time.

"Yigui, can you hear your mother?" Yang Xiaoyu's voice came from the earphones.

Unable to speak directly to attract Wan Qiu's attention, Chu Yigui tapped his mobile phone with his finger in response.

"Remember, let's set a code, if it is, you can tap the phone once, if not, tap twice." Yang Xiaoyu's voice has calmed down a lot, obviously she has sorted out her emotions, "I was too impulsive just now, did I scare him?" ”

Chu Yigui looked at Wan Qiu, who seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened, and tapped twice on his mobile phone, no.

Yang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "I saw you talking just now, what did you say?" Can you let me know? ”

Chu Yigui was silent for a moment, and did not choose to send a message, but asked Wan Qiu: "Is this place close to your house?" ”

"Yes, it's close." Wan Qiu replied.

Yang Xiaoyu understood Chu Yigui's hint: "Are you going to his house now?" ”

Chu Yigui tapped his phone, yes.

"Well done, Remembrance." Yang Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, "I'm sorry for you, Yigui, thank you." ”

Chu Yigui's eyes swept around, revealing a soothing smile after noticing a pitch-black vehicle.

Wanqiu's actions are very regular every day, going out in the morning and rummaging through the trash cans in a fixed route.

Because he had to get home before his mother got home from work, and had dinner ready, he found the most suitable route after many round trips, just enough to get him home.

Although there was some delay in the accident, there was plenty of time to get home, because he gave up a few garbage cans and he needed to go to the vegetable market.
