57. Chapter 57(1/2)
Chu Qing looked at Qi Weichen silently for a moment, took a deep breath and decided to circumvent this matter for the sake of his mental health, so he decisively changed the topic: "Qi Muyang probably doesn't know how difficult the question is, and he thought he hadn't worked for so long. Should we comfort him?"
"Do you know where he went?" Qi Weichen asked back.
Chu Qing: "…The treacherous minister knows."
"Call him."
"Oh," Chu Qing responded and took out her cell phone, asked Chen Xiu for a phone number and suddenly stopped, "Why would you better wait for the ranking to come out."
"Why?" Qi Weichen asked.
Chu Qing sighed: "The ranking has not come out, and no one can say how it is. What if it is similar to last time, wouldn't it disappoint him after giving him hope?"
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment when he heard this: "Then wait for the ranking."
"...just wait like that?" Chu Qing asked dryly.
Qi Weichen looked at her without saying a word.
Chu Qing also knew that she was inconsistent, so she rubbed her nose and said, "Sorry, I just saw him running out just now. Yes, it was a bit heartbroken. If he didn't go to find him, he might think we don't care about him..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Weichen had already walked out. Chu Qing hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
"Look for him." Qi Weichen said lightly without looking back.
Chu Qing hurriedly followed: "Let me go with you."
"No, I'll go see him, you can stay." Qi Weichen lowered his eyes.
Chu Qing said 'ah' and said sternly: "Then I'll ask the traitors where they are. If you know, send a message to you."
"Okay." Qi Weichen glanced at her again, then turned around and left the classroom.
As soon as he left the teaching building, he received a text message from Chu Qing, so he followed the message to another teaching building and walked directly to the roof.
As November approaches, the weather has completely cooled down, especially on the rooftop, where the cool breeze blows, making people's bones cold.
When Qi Weichen arrived at the rooftop, the treacherous minister who was only wearing sweaters was trembling. When he saw him, he hurriedly said hello. When Qi Muyang saw him, he turned his face away and asked the treacherous minister in a bad tone: "What did you tell him?"
"Okay, boss, if you have anything to do, don't keep it in your heart. I'm almost frozen to death, so I'll go downstairs first." Since I went to the rooftop, Qi Muyang didn't say a word, but his whole body was filled with grievances. The treacherous minister coaxed him for a long time but no results were achieved, so he had to ask for help from Chu Qing and the others.
As soon as the treacherous minister left, only father and son were left on the rooftop. Qi Weichen quietly sat down next to Qi Muyang, looking at the clouds floating in the sky without saying a word.
"Dad." Qi Muyang called him in a depressed voice.
Qi Weichen maintained his previous movements and did not turn his head to look at him.
Seeing this, Qi Muyang felt even more aggrieved and rubbed his eyes randomly, his voice as if he had a cold: "Do you think I am bad? Isn't like the child you gave birth to in Qi Weichen? You are very disappointed, right? If you are disappointed, you will be disappointed. There are more times when you are disappointed in the future, so it's better for you to adapt early..."
"Before I met your mother, I never thought I would get married and have children." Qi Weichen suddenly interrupted him.
Qi Muyang shut up suddenly and looked at him in a daze.
"From a very young age, I felt like a precision machine, calm, self-sustaining, smart, and lacked the empathy of humans," Qi Weichen looked at the sky calmly, and the clouds formed a small reflection in his eyes. "I can't understand why people cry, why they laugh, and why they can still produce more fluctuating emotions even though they know the result."
"Dad..." Qi Muyang opened his mouth, and the words behind him automatically silenced.
Qi Weichen then looked at him. After looking at each other for a while, he slowly said: "Because I understand myself, I understand that people like me are not suitable for family life. If nothing unexpected happens, I will accompany knowledge for the rest of my life and be with loneliness, just like my name, born before dawn and never see the light all year round."
Qi Muyang is his child. Although he doesn't know much about his past, he knows a little bit. His grandparents separated from each other's own families very early, and no one is willing to accept the product of this failed marriage. So he started living alone at the age of twelve or thirteen, and it was not until he got married to his mother that he had a family.
Now that he heard him say things about living alone in such a calm voice, Qi Muyang suddenly remembered these things, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he was being held.
"But after meeting your mother, this idea changed," Qi Weichen's eyes showed a little warmth. "No one doesn't like the sun. No matter how much I am like a machine, I am not a machine. After seeing the light, I will be reluctant to let go. I told you the meaning of your name before. Do you still remember?"
"Well... I mean I like sunshine, my mother is your light." Qi Muyang replied naively.
A little curve appeared on the corner of Qi Weichen's lips: "It's not just her, but you."
Qi Muyang was stunned.
"I thought I didn't need a family, but when I agreed to be with her, I thought of the name of the child in the future. Qi Muyang, you are also my expectation, the family I want. If you can be born, it is the best thing I encounter in my life. How can you think you are bad?"
Qi Muyang lowered his eyes: "I can't learn well, isn't this bad?"
"When I was naming you, I thought about what gender, personality, and whether you would be very high. I have also had many expectations for you. The most important of them is to hope that you are healthy, kind, and have the courage to move forward," Qi Weichen said word by word, "As for your grades, I have never thought about it."
Qi Muyang pursed his lips: "It's okay if he is not smart enough? Is it okay if he is not good at grades?"
"Yes," Qi Weichen paused after saying that, as if he was afraid that he would not believe it, so he added, "Your mother is even less smart and her grades are a mess. Don't I still like her?"
Qi Muyang was stunned for a moment. He didn't believe it very much, but when he heard the following sentence, he suddenly felt it was very convincing.
When Qi Weichen saw his expression, his eyes became much more gentle: "No matter whether it is achievements or future work, there are too many times when you don't get it right. Even if you are not used to it, you shouldn't vent your anger by verbal attacks. Do you understand?"
Qi Muyang wanted to say that he did not attack with words, but when he spoke, he suddenly remembered that he was questioning his father's dislike of his words and stopped talking.
Qi Weichen stopped talking and looked at the sky quietly. Now the clouds had floated away, revealing the late autumn sun hiding behind.
After a while, Qi Muyang whispered: "I'm sorry."
Qi Weichen looked at him.
"I shouldn't say you don't like me, you're sad, right?" Qi Muyang said, his eyes slightly red. "I just have one thing, one thing that hasn't been adjusted well. Don't be angry with me, okay?"
He was obviously the one who made a mistake, but when he gave in and apologized, he seemed to be bullied. His appearance was exactly the same as someone sitting in the classroom at this moment. A faint smile flashed in Qi Weichen's eyes: "I'm not angry."
"Really?" Qi Muyang immediately looked at him.
Qi Weichen nodded slightly: "Really."
"I knew you are the best Dad." Qi Muyang smiled, revealing a row of white little white teeth.
Qi Weichen rubbed his hair: "The senior year exam has always been a three-year knowledge test. Now you have only reviewed the textbooks for the first semester of the first year of high school. It is normal to make slow progress. When you finish all six books, you will have a qualitative overflow. Be patient and you will be fine."
"What if that's not good?" This exam really hurt his confidence, and Qi Muyang asked nervously.
Qi Weichen comforted: "It doesn't matter if it's not good. Just think of it as developing your learning ability. You can open a braised meat shop when you graduate."
"...I don't want to open a braised meat shop," Qi Muyang was speechless, "That's my mother's dream."
Qi Weichen glanced at him: "Then what do you want to do?"
"Play games, I can be an e-sports player." Qi Muyang was very excited.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "The game you often play seems to be full of people swearing in it."
"I don't learn from them. You see, although I usually speak swear words, don't I rarely speak when playing games?" Qi Muyang was afraid that he would not let himself play games in the future, so he quickly explained.
Qi Weichen looked at him: "Because they are scolding you."
Qi Muyang: "..." I just said that I don't have the talent for e-sports, why are you so sloppy?
After being criticized by Qi Weichen in disguise, Qi Muyang became better. The father and son spent a class on the rooftop until the bell rang for the end of the class, and the two walked downstairs together.
As soon as the bell rang, the students in the classroom had not had time to come out, and the only two of them were walking quietly in the corridor.
After walking silently for a long time, Qi Muyang suddenly said, "I always thought that you had a unilateral crush on my mother, so after meeting her, I thought about the name of your child in the future, but you seemed to say just now that the name was what you thought about after you promised to be with her."
Qi Weichen: “…”
"So," Qi Muyang opened his eyes openly, and then reacted and asked in shock, "Have you been together before?"
Qi Weichen froze for a moment, and said expressionlessly for a while: "No."
"Stop coming! You must be together, otherwise why do you say that kind of thing?" Qi Muyang exposed him without hesitation, then took a deep breath and asked with a broken face, "Who are you chasing whom?!"
"...This is not important." Qi Weichen refused to answer.
Qi Muyang's IQ was launched in time and he spoke even more in a deeper manner: "It's her! It's her who chased you! She had been saying that she didn't fall in love early before, which made me always think that she was so innocent and innocent. It turned out that they were all fake. She was just a liar!"
"Calm down." Qi Weichen's eyes moved slightly.
Qi Muyang snorted heavily and continued to ask: "How long have you been together? When did you get together? Why can't you see it at all before? Are you hiding it from me?"
Qi Weichen was quiet for a long time, and when Qi Muyang thought he would not answer, he slowly said: "You promise me to keep it secret first and don't let her know that you already know about our early love. I will tell you everything."
"Okay, you say it!" Qi Muyang agreed immediately.
Qi Weichen glanced at him, and after organizing the language, he told everything about the past. Qi Muyang's face changed for a while when he heard it, and finally sneered: "It's a scene of love and breaking up, breaking up and getting entangled. She will play more than I thought. If I hadn't discovered this liar myself, how long would she plan to lie to me?"
"Remember your promise and don't tell her that you already know." If Chu Qing knew that she had missed her words inadvertently, she would definitely be in trouble with her. Qi Weichen believed that although her EQ was not high, her desire to survive was still good.
Qi Muyang originally wanted to settle the score with Chu Qing, but after being reminded by Qi Weichen, he had to grit his teeth and nod, saying that he agreed to hide the matter from him.
Qi Weichen was a little worried, and after giving up after giving up, the two of them went back to the classroom together.
The two of them didn't come back for a class. Chu Qing was worried that she was not good enough. When she saw them, her eyes lit up and she quickly stood up from her seat: "Why are you back? The ranking will be announced later."
Qi Muyang looked at her, snorted coldly and sat down at the corner of the wall. Chu Qing looked puzzled, looked at him and asked Qi Weichen: "Why is he crazy? Did I offend him?"
Qi Weichen: "...It's okay, he's in a bad mood."
Qi Weichen was inexplicably guilty when he spoke. If it were Chu Qing, he would have heard it. Unfortunately, she thought Qi Muyang was still unhappy with his grades, so she didn't care much. Instead, she turned her head to comfort the child and said, "Don't be afraid, I just asked several people, and the scores have dropped a lot. Four or five people are not as good as you. Your ranking will definitely improve this time."
As soon as he heard her say this, Qi Muyang's ears immediately ridged. However, thinking that she was a premature love liar, he immediately pulled down his face and did not respond to her intention.
If Chu Qing couldn't see that he was targeting him, he would have lived for eighteen years in vain. So she looked at Qi Weichen with a look of unfairness: "What are you talking about? Why did he suddenly get angry with me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Qi Weichen's body slightly tense. She narrowed her eyes and immediately asked for a question. When she heard the voice of the head teacher coming from behind, she had to sit down first.
The head teacher took a piece of A4 paper to the classroom. The sharp-eyed person saw the word "mid-term" at a glance, and everyone suddenly became quiet.
The class teacher coughed and looked in a good mood: "The overall ranking has been posted on the bulletin board. You can go and see it after this get out of class. I am holding the class ranking now. The questions this time are very difficult, so most students' grades seem very unsatisfactory, but there is no need to put too much pressure. Generally, such questions are rarely taken in the college entrance examination."
