"Dad, can you tell me about your trip to Yuansu this time?" Duan Xin asked.
Duan Qirui glanced at him suspiciously: "Why do you know this?"
Duan Xin pursed his lips and did not rush to answer because he was not sure. He just said: "I am curious, does my uncle really have a child? Is he older or younger than me?"
Duan Qirui thought about the information he saw for a moment and said, "I'm younger than you."
"Have you seen dad?"
Duan Qirui's eyes flashed, but he did not answer his question. Instead, he said: "Children have so many things to do, go to bed early." After saying that, he turned around and entered the room a few meters away.
Because his mysophobia is so severe, the bathroom and resting place of the second master of the Duan family are not in the same place, and he is absolutely not allowed to enter his room without taking a shower.
Knowing how serious Duan Qirui's mysophobia was, Duan Xin didn't follow him in even though he didn't get the answer he wanted. He could only sleep on the third floor with worries.
Early the next morning, when Duan Xin got up, Mr. Duan was already sitting at the dining table downstairs having breakfast. Duan Xin walked down and called grandpa obediently.
Mr. Duan glanced at him, thought of something, put down the newspaper in his hand, and asked, "How are your grades now? Have you hired the tutor your dad said he wanted to hire last time?"
Embarrassment flashed across Duan Xin's face. He was good at everything. He looked good and played basketball well, but his grades were not good. He might not have been born to study. Seeing that gave him a headache.
Duan Xin was vague and didn't know how to answer. Mr. Duan immediately understood what he meant. A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he finally calmed down.
Because the second master of the Duan family was divorced long ago, Duan Qirui has never moved out of the old house in these years, and Duan Xin can be regarded as growing up under the watch of Mr. Duan.
Duan Xin was in a playful mood now, and he didn't like to face his stern grandfather, so he grabbed two pastries and ran out with his schoolbag on his back.
He was fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was still so unreliable. Mr. Duan's eyelids jumped and his face became even more ugly.
The housekeeper standing nearby comforted him in a low voice: "Master, the young master is still young. He will be fine when he grows up."
Mr. Duan didn't speak, just shook his head. He knew that even if Duan Xin grew up, he might not be able to support the entire Duan family.
Thinking of his eldest son who was still lying in the hospital and might be leaving at any time, and thinking of the Duan family that might be in decline because of this, Mr. Duan couldn't help but feel his heart twisting.
——
When Duan Xin arrived at school, he used to play basketball to warm up, but today he didn't. Instead, he climbed upstairs. He is fourteen years old and is in the first grade of junior high school.
Because someone came to their school to take an exam today, the second graders had a half-day holiday, but other grades still had to attend classes as normal.
It is now past eight o'clock in the morning, and the exam time is nine o'clock. There is still more than half an hour. However, in order not to delay the exam, the candidates have entered the examination room one after another. Xu Xu and the others also arrived before eight-thirty.
There are eight classrooms on the first floor of the second grade of junior high school, with teachers guarding both ends. Duan Xin couldn't go up, so he had to wait around the corner.
When he saw Xu Xu coming with other students, he immediately walked up and shouted to Xu Xu: "Hello, classmate."
The group of people heard the sound and looked over.
The teacher leading the team looked at Duan Xin, who was obviously a student of this school, turned around and asked, "Xu Xu, do you know this classmate?"
