The school was bombed, and so was Tao Xiaodong.
He never thought that Chi Cheng would be able to make such a score. Needless to say, he did this on purpose, and he couldn't get this score even if he closed his eyes.
On the day of the score check, Tao Xiaodong was working in the store, so he didn't even know he had given the score.
The homeroom teacher called, and Tao Xiaodong answered it wearing a headset. The teacher asked him if Chi Cheng was by his side.
The tone didn't sound right, Tao Xiaodong asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Lei?"
The teacher asked him over there: "You don't know the separation yet, do you?"
"I really don't know." Tao Xiaodong gestured to the customer, put down his things and stood up to pick them up.
The school suspected that the score was judged wrong, no matter how impossible it is for Chi Cheng to fail Chinese, this score is just a joke, let alone him, it is impossible for the last few Chinese testers to get such a score.
Tao Xiaodong's mind buzzed, he didn't suspect the wrong test at all, he understood what was going on almost instantly.
I didn't expect it before, but the result is in front of my eyes, this is too much like what Chi Cheng can do.
Tao Xiaodong didn't finish his work that day, so he let the client go and said he would do it another day, and drove home directly.
Tao Huainan was very surprised when he got home. He was waiting for Chi Cheng to check his score, and he was ready to experience Chi Cheng's highlight moment. It's not normal for my brother to come back at this time. When I left in the morning, I said that I would come back later today.
"Why are you back?" Tao Huainan asked his brother in surprise.
Tao Xiaodong didn't answer him, and threw the key on the cabinet next to him, knocking loudly.
Although Tao Huainan couldn't see, he was very sensitive in other aspects, and he felt that his brother's mood was not right. Tao Huainan put on his slippers and walked over, touched his brother's arm, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Tao Xiaodong asked Chi Cheng: "Did they get checked?"
Chi Cheng said, "Not yet."
"Check." Tao Xiaodong pointed in the direction of the computer, "Check now."
Brother's voice was too serious, and he got angry. Tao Huainan didn't dare to make a sound, and heard Chi Cheng turn on the computer. He had urged Chi Cheng to check his score just now, but Chi Cheng never went.
Tao Xiaodong stood behind Chi Cheng and waited for him to check, Tao Huainan followed behind, and slowly moved over to sit next to Chi Cheng.
The peak hours of this time have passed, and the website is not stuck at all. After entering the test admission ticket number, it jumped out directly, and the bright "527" on the screen was too eye-catching.
Tao Xiaodong stared at the row of numbers and asked Chi Cheng, "How much?"
Chi Cheng didn't make a sound.
Tao Huainan turned his head in Chi Cheng's direction, feeling a bad premonition.
"Did you hear what I asked you?" Tao Xiaodong asked again.
Chi Cheng then opened his mouth and read it over and over: "527."
As soon as the number was read out, Tao Huainan's shoulders visibly tensed.
"Quite high." Tao Xiaodong nodded and asked him, "How did you get such a high score?"
Chi Cheng didn't speak again, now Tao Xiaodong was like every ordinary parent, he was so angry that he almost lost his mind.
Tao Huainan's first reaction was that Chi Cheng had failed the exam, and he was worried that his brother would criticize him.
After two seconds, he gradually realized that it was impossible for Chi Cheng to pass the exam like this. No matter how badly he did in the exam, he never got such a low score. He said that this year's questions are very easy, and his score should be high.
"Chinese 68, how did you get it?" Tao Xiaodong was still controlling himself not to get angry, and spoke with restraint.
Chi Cheng remained silent, and no matter what Tao Xiaodong asked again, he stopped talking. He didn't talk to Tao Xiaodong because he was fighting with Tao Xiaodong, but because of the facts here, no matter what he said, it would only make my brother more angry.
He stood in front of Tao Xiaodong, lowered his head and kept silent. Tao Xiaodong asked a few words but didn't get anything out, he felt his temples twitching.
"Speak, let me ask you how you passed the test." Tao Xiaodong raised his hand and smacked Chi Cheng's shoulder, "How did you answer the paper?"
Chi Cheng took a step back and said in a low voice, "I didn't write a composition."
As soon as the words fell, Tao Huainan gasped suddenly from behind.
Tao Xiaodong nodded and remained silent for a long time. Look at Chi Cheng, look at Tao Huainan, turn around and go out. The sweat on the back soaked the clothes, and there was an unfavorable place stuck on the back. Tao Xiaodong raised his hand while walking, tore off the clothes and threw them on the sofa, saying: "Don't fucking read it."
Brother went to lie down in his room, and Tao Huainan didn't speak again all afternoon.
Chi Cheng washed the clothes his brother had just taken off on the sofa, then sat silently on the sofa, and went to the kitchen to cook the meal when it was dinner time.
The meal is on the table, first call Tao Xiaodong: "Brother, it's time to eat."
Tao Xiaodong was looking at his phone, not him.
Chi Cheng went to call Tao Huainan again: "Come out for dinner."
Tao Huainan didn't respond at first, but after a while he blinked and replied in an unsteady voice: "Okay... here we come."
Chi Cheng didn't eat, neither did Tao Xiaodong. Tao Huainan sat at the dining table and ate the food by himself. He didn't know what he ate, he just sent it to his mouth mechanically with a spoon.
This was the first time in Tao Huainan's memory that the atmosphere at home was so stiff as it is now.
Previously, Chi Cheng deliberately provoked his father to beat him when he came home, and then got into a fight with a chair at school, and my brother got angry with him once. My brother didn't talk to him that time, but that time still couldn't reach the current level.
Tao Xiaodong completely ignored Chi Cheng, even Tao Huainan. He left without eating that night, and didn't even come home for several days after that.
Tao Huainan called him, but he said he had something to do and would not come back.
Brother Tao Huainan feels very uncomfortable when he is angry, and the matter of Chi Cheng is even more difficult for him.
No one has spoken to the class group since the grades were released. At first, there were some people who didn't know the situation and chatted a few words, but after hearing about this, no one came out to chat again.
The teacher called Chi Cheng and Tao Huainan, but both of them kept shutting down their phones.
Tao Huainan didn't know what to say when people asked him. He was afraid of hearing people sigh, afraid that others would say that Chi Cheng was ignorant, afraid that others would say that Chi Cheng had no brains.
These days, he didn't even take the initiative to ask Chi Cheng why he did this, so there is no need to ask some questions. Tao Huainan didn't have any position to accuse Chi Cheng of doing something wrong, he didn't even dare to ask a question.
Tao Huainan is more guilty than he has done wrong, and Chi Cheng is all because of him.
"Why are you so listless?" Chi Cheng reached out and touched Tao Huainan's forehead, "Sick again?"
Tao Huainan shook his head and said, "No."
Tao Huainan has been like this for the past few days, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"Don't wrinkle." Chi Cheng said to him, "Help me think about how to coax my brother well."
Tao Huainan shook his head and said, "It's hard to coax."
"Then what should I do?" Chi Cheng asked, "Just make brother angry all the time?"
Tao Huainan's mind is very confused these days, he can't say anything, and he can't think of any ideas to help Chi Cheng. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what emotions he should have. He honestly didn't feel happy about letting Chi Cheng stay by his side in this way, but if he said that Chi Cheng had done something wrong, it would appear that he was so hypocritical.
Chi Cheng himself was the one who didn't take this matter seriously. He didn't think it was a big deal from the bottom of his heart. When Tao Huainan was sitting in front of the table with his arms in a daze, Chi Cheng flicked his head and said, "Don't be melancholy."
Tao Huainan fixed his eyes on the front, and said after a while: "Brother still hasn't come back, brother made you so angry that you ran away from home."
"Help me coax me." Chi Cheng said.
"He doesn't even pay attention to me, how can I coax you." Tao Huainan maintained his previous posture and spoke slowly, "I don't even dare to think about how angry my brother will be."
Tao Xiaodong is the most unassuming parent, and he is used to his children, playing and playing with the two little brothers every day, but Chi Cheng is really too much this time.
This year's top scorer in the city's high school entrance examination is 595 points. Of course, if Chi Cheng gets the 70 points, he may not be able to get a full score. Of course, he can't make up the difference between these two points. The top scorer in the high school entrance examination may not necessarily be his.
But what if. Who can say that he can't fill these two points equally? Chi Cheng has always scored full marks on math papers, and it's not like he hasn't written essays with full marks.
It's not a problem that Tao Xiaodong hasn't come home all the time. Rhubarb persuaded him in the store not to get angry with the children.
"Why is he so young?" Tao Xiaodong squeezed the space between his eyebrows and leaned back on the sofa, "He's full of ideas."
"Actually, isn't this pretty good?" Brother Huang said slowly while drinking tea, "Don't we worry too much?"
"I really don't need to worry about this." Tao Xiaodong felt a pain in his head when he thought about it, "What nonsense, you dare to make up your own mind about everything."
"You don't want to listen to me, Dong." Da Huang leaned forward and spoke in a low voice, "Let's pick up a child that is delicious, well-clothed, and raised so big, and the household registration has been changed. Let’s not talk about how much energy and money it takes to raise a big child. We want to feel at ease and don’t ask for anything in return. But it’s okay for people and children to have this kind of heart. It shows that people have it in their hearts and can feed them well. You only run for yourself, don't you block it?"
Tao Xiaodong said, "I understand what you mean, brother."
He sat up straight and looked at Rhubarb, and said to him: "Indeed, I tried to find a companion for Xiao Nan when I brought him back at the beginning, and I also saved myself some trouble. After all these years, I have saved my worries, and I really don't need him." I've been doing this job all my life and tied it up like a favor, so it's not like buying a child?"
"Hey, you just think too much." Da Huang waved his hand and said to him, "People are happy with themselves, but Xiao Nan can't let go of their feelings. You are still angry when you are a big brother. If I see this, it's good. He looks like a good boy."
The good boy Chicheng is a little worried at home and doesn't know how to break the deadlock. When Tao Huainan made a mistake, he could speak nicely, admit his mistakes and act like a baby, but he couldn't say those words even if Chi Cheng was beaten to death. He will not admit his mistakes, nor will he speak soft words.
Tao Huainan woke up from a nap and walked out of the room.
After waking up, I didn't touch Chicheng, but I put on my shoes and went out to look for it. I still can't make up my mind, I don't like talking very much these days, and I don't ask aloud when I can't find anyone, just touch a few places a little bit. When I touched the sofa, I bent over and slowly pulled it. At first I didn't feel it and I frowned a bit, until finally I felt Chi Cheng's arm beside it.
He didn't speak when he touched it, put his hands on Chi Cheng's shoulders, and sat up with his legs.
Just waking up, his body was still warm, wearing pajamas with short sleeves and shorts, he leaned against Chi Cheng's arms without saying a word. Chi Cheng put his hand on his back and patted him lightly twice.
Tao Huainan slowly leaned over, resting his head on one of Chi Cheng's shoulders, and buried his face in the crescent of his neck.
"Brother." Tao Huainan opened his mouth and called him softly.
Chi Cheng sat there with his head up, put one hand on his back, and replied, "Yes."
"...Did I make you hard?" Tao Huainan leaned on Chi Cheng's shoulder and blinked, "Everyone is angry with you, I know you are here to accompany me."
"It's nothing." Chi Cheng said.
"I actually didn't want you to be like this..." Tao Huainan's voice was quiet, his eyes were fixed in a daze, and he looked very at a loss, "I didn't expect this. My brother and I are very proud of you for being so outstanding. I can go to a school for the blind. Of... I'm just afraid, afraid that there are many people around you that I don't know, and afraid that you will get along well with others. "
Chi Cheng touched Tao Huainan's head with his hands, and played with his hair slowly.
Tao Huainan just woke up, and when he spoke, his voice was soft and slow: "What should we do now? You can't go to the attached middle school, and you can't go to those experiments either."
Chi Cheng said, "It's okay," and said, "It's the same everywhere."
"How can it be the same?" Tao Huainan's nose was pressed against Chi Cheng's neck, and his breath smelled of bath liquid from his body, "The attached middle school is so good."
Tao Huainan didn't say so much these days, the child didn't dare to say anything, feeling that he had gotten into trouble.
Now that I just woke up, I am very dependent on others, and I took the initiative to say these heart-warming words for a long time. Chi Cheng's embrace is very stable, lying here like this, being slightly ups and downs with Chi Cheng's breathing, it's so comfortable.
"Don't do this again..." Tao Huainan listened to Chi Cheng's heartbeat and said, "I'm very sad."
"I said it's the same everywhere." Chi Cheng looked down at him, his chin was itchy from being scratched by Tao Huainan's hair, Chi Cheng's lips touched Tao Huainan's ear lightly, and asked with raised eyebrows, "Do you believe it?" me?"
