"Are you crazy?!" Gu Guoxiang was furious, "Why did you agree to let him shoot this kind of thing?! Is this glorious? Is this very good? Is it very good? Is it still visible to the people of the city on TV?! What are you thinking in your mind?!"

"Have you forgotten what happened when Mingxi went to junior high school and junior high school?!" Li Han shouted loudly, tears bursting out of his eyes, "He clearly passed the score line! But he couldn't pass the interview! He also went to Guangcheng and No. 9 Middle School! Both schools rejected him because he had no arms! This is just a middle school for day study! You have to live in college in the future! Mingxi will be more troublesome to attend! Can you guarantee that those schools that Mingxi likes will not reject him because Mingxi has no arms? Can you guarantee 100%?!"

She pulled Gu Mingxi and pushed it to Gu Guoxiang: "Look clearly! Gu Guoxiang! Gu Mingxi is our son! He is seventeen years old! Look at his eyes and nose, look at his figure! He is your son! Does he look like you? I can't understand why you always think that he is losing your face! Mingxi has done a good job! What else do you want him?!"

Li Han rarely yelled at Gu Guoxiang like this. She pushed Gu Mingxi hard towards Gu Guoxiang. Gu Guoxiang took two steps back, and Gu Mingxi also tried his best to resist his mother's strength. The three of them gradually stopped.

Gu Guoxiang wiped his face with both hands. When he put down his hands, his eyes turned red: "Mingxi is in college, I will find a way. If I want to leave a relationship and give gifts, I will find a way! But how can you say that you agree to take pictures of such a thing without telling me?"

He pointed to the black-screen TV with trembling, "My son of Gu Guoxiang is just showing it to the people of the city on TV! See how he lives! How fresh is he? Isn't it very pitiful? And ridiculous? What do you want others to think! What do you want my friends, customers, and subordinates think!"

"It's because I know you think so that I won't tell you." Li Han said coldly, "I don't feel embarrassed at all. Gu Guoxiang, I have seen through you. I don't expect anything now. I just hope Mingxi can get into a good university. I am willing to do anything that will help him in his studies. I hope you can get in touch with me? Humph! I might as well count on a dog!"

Hearing this, Gu Guoxiang raised his palm towards Li Han. Gu Mingxi saw it clearly and immediately knocked Li Han away with his body. Gu Guoxiang's slap fell on his back, and a "bang" sounded.

"Mingxi!"

Li Han cried and hugged him. Gu Mingxi gritted his teeth and stopped his staggering steps. The pain on his back was so painful. He turned around and looked at his father and whispered: "Dad, this show has been aired now. What's the point of saying this? You have beaten and scolded, so don't blame your mother anymore. I insisted on going on this show, and it has nothing to do with my mother. I just worry about my future studies. It's not good for me to discuss it with you. I'm sorry to you."

The three of them fell silent together. After a while, Gu Guoxiang picked up the car keys on the coffee table and said, "You have grown up and have your own ideas. It doesn't matter if you have me, my father, hahaha..."

He put on his coat and walked towards the door. Li Han asked sternly: "Gu Guoxiang Where are you going?"

"Do I need to report to you?" His gaze was so cold that it pierced people's hearts. "In your heart, I can't beat a dog? Haha."

He snorted coldly, opened the door and left the house.

Li Han shook his body and sat softly on the ground. Over the past few months, her relationship with Gu Guoxiang has been like walking on a tightrope at a high altitude. The surface is calm and stable. In fact, as long as there is a trace of wind, she can be driven into hell.

Gu Mingxi squatted down beside Li Han and called her worriedly: "Mom."

Li Han sat for a while and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, Mingxi, mom will not leave you again."

During the winter vacation, she came back from her hometown to relax. She heard that Gu Mingxi did not go to her grandparents' house, but went to Pang Qian's house for a few days. She also got sick from the rain. She felt very guilty and swore that no matter what happened in the future, she would not leave her son again.

That night, Gu Guoxiang did not go home. Gu Mingxi didn't know where his father went, so Li Han went back to the room very early and locked the door. Gu Mingxi tossed and turned on the bed, almost sleeping all night.

He was a little confused. He thought of the first time he saw himself on TV. It turned out that in the eyes of others, he was doing things with his feet. Is it really like what his father said, pitiful and ridiculous?

When the sky outside the window was bluish and white, Gu Mingxi decided to get up. He stood by the window and looked out. A group of birds flew past, and his eyes kept following the little things with wings until they flew farther and farther away and disappeared from his vision.

On this day, Gu Mingxi came to school and felt that the students and the teacher looked at him with a special sight. Many people had watched the episode of the show the night before. They were usually curious about Gu Mingxi's life, but because they were not in the same class, they had no idea. This episode just satisfies everyone's curiosity, and when they see the deity, they can't help but whisper.

The students in the first year of high school (2) were relatively calm. Everyone forgot about this and continued to devote themselves to their busy studies.

The physics teacher organized a unit test. After the paper was handed out, Gu Mingxi bent down and looked at the questions on the test paper, and found that he could not calm down.

He had a pen on his toes and was dazed for a long time. Pang Qian was working hard on the side. His eyes glanced at Mingxi's test paper and it turned out to be blank. She was startled and poked him with a scratching hand. Gu Mingxi did not react at all. Pang Qian was frightened, not afraid that the teacher would say she cheated. She leaned over and patted Gu Mingxi, and called him in a low voice: "Hey, hey, Gu Mingxi..."

Gu Mingxi suddenly turned his head and looked at Pang Qian. The physics teacher coughed loudly on the podium. Pang Qian was so scared that she immediately lowered her head. Gu Mingxi finally came to her senses and did a few questions randomly.

After school, Pang Qian was going to practice football. She was not very relieved. Gu Mingxi asked, "What's wrong with you today? It looks weird."

"No." Gu Mingxi tidied up his schoolbag with both feet, "I'll leave first, goodbye."

Pang Qian said: "Or why don't I go to practice football and accompany you for a while."

"No need." Gu Mingxi stood up, bent down and hooked up his schoolbag with his right shoulder, swung back, and tried hard to reach the schoolbag belt with his left shoulder. He just took two strokes, but he didn't reach it.

Pang Qian stood in front of him, helped him carry his schoolbag, and tidy up his empty sleeves. Gu Mingxi lowered his head and said, "Thank you."

"Thank you for saying something to me," Pang Qian muttered, feeling that Gu Mingxi was really strange today. She watched him walk out of the classroom and vaguely felt that he had something to do.

Gu Mingxi did not take the bus and walked on the street with his head hanging down. When he passed by the heavy machinery factory, he saw the shark barbecue restaurant again. Surprisingly, the shark was sweeping the floor at the door.

He was still the same, but after wearing less clothes, he looked more powerful. He held a cigarette in his mouth and hummed a little song. When he turned around, he saw Gu Mingxi standing not far in front of him.

"Yo, kid!" The shark hadn't seen Gu Mingxi for two months and asked, "Have your foot injury healed?"

"Okay." Gu Mingxi raised his right foot slightly, "It just left a scar."

"Did you meet those bastards again?"

"No."

"What's wrong? I'm in a bad mood? I just got out of school?" Shark looked at Gu Mingxi's appearance and asked, "Do you want me to take you to the station?"

Gu Mingxi shook his head, lowered his eyes, and then said for a while: "Brother Shark, can I sit in your store for a while? I don't want to go home."

The shark was stunned for a moment and immediately took Gu Mingxi's shoulder, "Of course it's okay, let's go after dinner, brother treat you."

He brought Gu Mingxi to the store, and the clams and oysters were skewers. They were all impressed by this beautiful armless boy, and they smiled friendly when they saw Gu Mingxi. Gu Mingxi saw them skewers quickly and found it interesting. He stood by and watched for a while, and the shark asked him: "Child, what do you like to eat? I will roast it for you to eat in the evening."

The clam has a baby face, looking only a little bigger than Gu Mingxi, and said with a smile: "Brother Shark hasn't been on the grill for a long time. You're so proud of your face, kid."

The shark slapped the clam on the back of the head: "Did you call the kid? It's big or small!"

Turning his head, he asked Gu Mingxi with a cigarette in his mouth: "Child, how old are you?"

"By August, it's seventeenth." Gu Mingxi replied.

"Ah, I'm only one year younger than me." The clam was very happy, "I just turned eighteen."

The oysters interjected on the side: "I'm nineteen!"

"The child is still a student, you two go away." The shark squinted his eyes and taught them a lesson, "Listen, don't smoke him, don't drink him with wine. If he wants to eat meat, give him as much as he wants!"

Gu Mingxi stood by and watched them making noise. The shark scolded the two guys without mercy, but the young clams and oysters seemed to be very impressed by him. Gu Mingxi found a chair to sit down and stayed in such a strange barbecue restaurant. He suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Pang Qian was very absent-minded when practicing football. Xie Yi asked her: "Crab, what's wrong with you today?"

Pang Qian did not answer, and Xie Yi asked again: "Have you quarreled with Gu Mingxi?"

"No." Pang Qian said in a low voice, "It's just... Gu Mingxi was weird today. She was wandering around all day and had not finished the exam questions. I was quite worried about him."

Xie Yi asked: "Is it because of that show last night?"

Pang Qian blinked: "You watched too?"

"Well, the teacher in every class has notified me. I guess the whole school has read it." Xie Yi shrugged, "To be honest, I can't say anything like 'this is nothing', and I feel a little bit like standing and talking without a headache. I think Gu Mingxi should be a little unhappy in his heart. Crab, you should spend more time with him."

Pang Qian said anxiously: "I know. However, I live with him in two directions now, and I can't accompany him home."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry too much. I believe Gu Mingxi will be OK soon." Xie Yi smiled brightly, picked up the racket that Pang Qian put on the table and handed it to her, "If you practice for a while, you will almost go home."

It was already past seven o'clock when Pang Qian returned home after practicing the ball. Seeing her entering the door, Pang Shuisheng came out anxiously and asked, "Qianqian, are you with Mingxi?"

Pang Qian looked at him in surprise: "No, today is Thursday, I want to practice football."

"Then do you know where Mingxi went?"

"Gu Mingxi? He left after school. At 5:30, at most 5:40, I watched him leave."

Pang Shuisheng ran to the phone: "I'll go and say something to his mother."

Pang Qian ran to her father and asked, "Dad, what's wrong? Gu Mingxi is gone?"

"Yes." Pang Shuisheng dialed the number, "He usually arrives at home at half past six, but he hasn't arrived at home by this time today, and he hasn't called home."

Pang Qian was stunned.

They were not in the mood to have supper, and after eating a little randomly, they started waiting for the call.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Pang Shuisheng couldn't help calling Li Han again. She stayed at home and dared not go out, saying that Gu Mingxi had not come back yet.

Pang Shuisheng made a quick decision: "You are waiting at home, I'll go out to find it." After pausing, he asked again: "Where is Guoxiang?"

"He..." Li Han told the truth, "He hasn't come back."

"Have you called him?"

"Call it, shut down."

Pang Shuisheng no longer asked: "I am bringing my cell phone. If you have any news, you can just call my cell phone. I will go out to find Mingxi. Ahan, don't worry, Mingxi is a sensible child, he will not be in trouble."

Seeing that his father was about to go out, Pang Qian also grabbed the car keys: "Dad, I'll go with you!"

Pang Shuisheng glared at her: "What are you doing?"

"I know where Gu Mingxi would go on." Pang Qian said anxiously, "You don't know some places!"

Pang Shuisheng thought about it, and when he saw his daughter's expression was firm, he said, "You must also pay attention to safety."

"Um!"

Pang Shuisheng and Pang Qian rode their bikes to No. 1 Middle School. The senior high school student in the school was still studying for himself in the evening. Pang Qian went into the school for a walk, but did not find Gu Mingxi.

After coming out, she suggested going to the small park next to the school. She used to visit there with Gu Mingxi.

The father and daughter entered the park. It was too late, and the people who were exercising and vendors had already dispersed. The park was quiet, and Pang Qian rode her bike all the way, shouting: "Gu Mingxi! Gu Mingxi!"

Ten minutes later, they were sure that Gu Mingxi was not here.

Pang Shuisheng asked Pang Qian what Gu Mingxi was going home, and Pang Qian slapped her head: "He must not have taken the bus, he was walking to No. 263. It takes half an hour to walk, and he has to pass through the heavy machinery factory in the middle!"

"Heavy Machinery Factory?" Pang Shuisheng pondered for a moment, "Then let's ride along the path he was walking and ask others by the way. Mingxi has no arms, maybe someone who noticed him."

Pang Qian followed her father all the way to search, and she kept calling his name: "Gu Mingxi! Gu Mingxi--"

They asked several shop owners along the way, some said they had never seen such a person, some said they had an impression that the armless boy often walked here with his schoolbag on his back, but on this day, no one saw Gu Mingxi's whereabouts.

They had been passing through the heavy machinery factory and rode to the station No. 263. Pang Qian pushed the bicycle and stood by the roadside, looking around blankly. It was already 9:30 in the evening, and Gu Mingxi had not returned home yet. Where was he?

Pang Shuisheng was stunned when he turned his head, raised his hand and wiped his daughter's eyes: "Why are you crying?"
