The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chapter 23 The madman who killed his father and his mother

Maybe it's due to factors in the growing environment.

Chen Jing is actually not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships.

As a Buddhist otaku, he has no friends in the real world, and has almost no daily contact with colleagues or classmates.

So...how are relationships maintained between friends?

Chen Jing couldn't understand.

Even when he received the task of [Additional Question], he began to try hard to recall the TV series and movies he had watched...

Facts have proved that, as a nerd with social difficulties, making friends is indeed not an easy task.

At least now he feels like he screwed up.

"I didn't expect you to wake up so early..." Chen Boxu walked to the bedside, raised his hand and touched Chen Jing's forehead, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "The body temperature has dropped a lot, it should be nothing serious..."

Chen Jing raised his face and smiled at Chen Boxu, but soon turned his eyes to the place where Wei Nan left. No figure could be seen outside the window.

Only the evening breeze blew the linen curtains, and the yellowed plastic cartoon bell jingled...

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Boxu asked curiously, looking in the direction Chen Jing was looking, "Why did she call you a liar?"

"It's nothing..." Chen Jing pretended to be calm and shook his head, then turned around and smiled at Chen Bofu, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm much better."

When Chen Bofu heard what he said, his face suddenly burst into laughter.

"Grandpa brought you some food. They were all taken from the warehouse of the property office. They are all good things!"

"I'll eat later... I just woke up and I'm not hungry..."

"Then I'll take it to the kitchen and keep it there. If you want to eat it, ask Ryan to heat it up for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Bofu seemed to suddenly remember something and added something.

"From now on, Ryan will be our retainer, or nanny, servant, it's all the same anyway..."

Chen Jing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the little skeleton Ryan standing aside, with several big question marks on his face.

"This little guy is very smart. He can help me take care of you in the future. When grandpa is not at home, he can also help you bring tea, pour water, wash clothes and fold quilts..."

"I'm not paralyzed. I don't need others to take care of me..."

"I want what I want!"

At this moment, Ryan had changed into a set of children's clothes that had been washed white, and he didn't know where he found them. He no longer stuttered when he spoke, and he spoke as fluently as if he had a skull head.

"Young master, you can rest in peace and recuperate! I am responsible for all the big and small things at home! The master has already told me what you like to eat! Ryan will cook it for you tomorrow!"

"..."

"Don't worry, Master! Ryan will study hard in the future! He will definitely serve the Master and Master better in the future!"

At this moment, Ryan couldn't see the helplessness on Chen Jing's face at all. Instead, he was as excited as chicken blood, as if for him, being able to integrate into this family was a supreme honor...

But it is a pity that Chen Jing is helpless to death at this moment.

After all, he was not a part of this world, and he still couldn't accept the feeling of raising a servant in his family.

He doesn't like to be ordered around by others, and he also doesn't like to order around others.

"My dear grandson, if you are sleepy, just lie down and sleep for a while. Grandpa will go out first so as not to disturb your rest... But don't be afraid! Grandpa is sitting in the living room! He's not going anywhere!"

"okay."

"Ryan, take the things to the kitchen!"

"understand!"

As the bedroom door closes.

Chen Jing was suddenly the only one left in the empty room.

"Am I a liar..."

The smile on Chen Jing's face had long since faded, and he looked out the window in confusion at the dark night that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason.

to be frank.

At first, he just made friends with the mentality of "getting the job done."

Bite the bullet and interact with strange neighbors.

He does whatever the other person says.

From beginning to end, they almost followed the other party's wishes.

Being able to achieve this step, he felt that he had done a good enough job. If he still couldn't complete the task, there was nothing he could do...

After all, this is just like a game, not every side mission can be completed to the fullest.

But in the process of completing the task... Chen Jing felt that he was no longer himself, because he found that in addition to the ultimate goal of completing the task, there were many more things in his mind.

Especially with Wei Nan.

Perhaps it was really because they had experienced a fatal threat that it was difficult for Chen Jing to treat Wei Nan as a game NPC, and he would only feel sad to hear her call him a liar.

At this moment, he felt very guilty and even felt a little stupid.

If we had thought of a better way to get in touch with Wei Nan from the beginning, instead of making up a random identity to deal with her, would everything have been different?

"What should I do now..."

"How does it work in the TV series..."

"Go and apologize?"

Chen Jing sat on the bed with the quilt wrapped around him and thought for a while, frowning so hard that he could kill a fly.

"Her eyes seemed sad..."

"Did I go a little too far..."

"But I really didn't mean to lie to her..."

"It seems a bit too much..."

Chen Jing was curled up beside the bed like a child, with the quilt on his head and only half of his face exposed, with a very tangled look in his eyes.

In fact, from a certain perspective, Chen Jing is really no different from a child.

At least when it comes to socializing with friends...

He really didn't have any experience.

Just like a child who had a falling out with a good friend, Chen Jing felt guilty and a little aggrieved... But after thinking for a while, he decided to go to Wei Nan to make it clear, at least to explain.

"My dear grandson, why did you come out suddenly?"

Chen Bofu was lying on the sofa in the living room, and Ryan was squatting beside him to help him squeeze his shoulders and back. Seeing Chen Jing suddenly walking out with an absent-minded look on his face, they all looked over in unison.

Especially Chen Boxu, who was a grandfather, jumped up from the sofa like a kite, grabbed Chen Jing with a panic look on his face and checked his body.

"Your current physical condition..."

"It's okay." Chen Jing said with a smile, "I can feel that it's much better."

"Then you are hungry?" Chen Bofu said, then turned around and gave Ryan a look, "Go and get some hot food! Don't starve my grandson!"

"I know, Master!"

"No need to heat up, I want to go out..."

Chen Jing walked to the shoe cabinet to change his shoes for going out, but when he thought about going to see Wei Nan, he stopped again.

"Forget it, let's heat it up. Ryan, help me pack the lunch box, and I'll pack it up and eat it."

"Okay, Master!"

Chen Bofu glanced at Ryan, who was running to the kitchen to heat up the food, and then looked back at Chen Jing.

"Are you going to find that crazy girl?"

"Ah."

"Did you have a fight?"

"It doesn't count..."

"Stay away from her."

Chen Jing couldn't help but be startled when he heard these abrupt words.

"Stay away from her?"

"Well..." Chen Boxu turned his head and continued to stare at the evening news on TV. His tone of voice was as relaxed as chatting about neighbor gossip, "Kui Nan is a very dangerous person."

Hearing what the old man said, Chen Jing was a little surprised.

He didn't expect such "high praise" to come out of the old man's mouth.

Yes.

good review.

If Chen Bofu can even call it "dangerous", then she...

"It's dangerous to you, but it doesn't matter to me." Chen Boxu didn't have to look back to see Chen Jing's expression, as if he could guess what he was thinking, "That girl is really crazy..."

"Crazier than you?"

"Without me... No, Jingjing, do you have any objections to grandpa? What does it mean to be crazier than me?"

"You're kidding." Chen Jing hurriedly changed the subject, "Grandpa, keep talking."

"Don't interrupt me!"

Chen Bofu rolled his eyes at him angrily and touched his afro like Einstein.

"Uh...where did I come from..."

"Oh yes, that girl is very crazy, you should stay away from her!"

As he spoke, Chen Bofu suddenly took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket.

It looks like an ordinary commercial cigarette, but the brand of this cigarette is something Chen Jing has never seen before. The colorful LOGO is a huge skull with a thumbs up, and a line of bold characters written underneath...

[If you can’t smoke to death, smoke to death].

"Although we moved to this community later, I heard that that girl Wei Nan has been crazy since she was a child."

Chen Bofu held a cigarette in his mouth and snapped his fingers. The cigarette butt suddenly lit up with a scarlet flame.

"When she was five years old, she killed four members of the family next door because of a verbal conflict..."

"When she was eight years old, her father beat her too hard, and she killed her own father..."

"When she was twelve years old, she had an argument with her mother for some reason, and her mother was thrown from a building and smashed to pieces..."

"When she was sixteen, two of her friends went to celebrate her birthday, and then they made an appointment to hang out together, but... hehe."

Chen Bofu was holding a cigarette with a smile on his face, as if he was telling a particularly interesting joke.

"If the security guards hadn't salvaged them in time, I'm afraid the bodies of the two girls would still be wandering in the Sacrificial Moon River."

Say it.

Chen Boxu also saw the expression of disbelief on Chen Jing's face, and then expressed relief.

"My sweet grandson wants to make friends. Of course grandpa supports it, but Wei Nan is too dangerous for you..."

Chen Bofu reminded him earnestly.

"If that girl acts crazy, she won't even be spared by her biological parents, not to mention she's a bullshit friend, so you'd better listen to grandpa's advice and stay away from her."

"There must be some misunderstanding... I don't think she is that kind of person..."

Chen Jing couldn't help but retort. Thinking of everything he experienced today, he really couldn't connect the Wei Nan in his impression with the "madman" in the old man's words.

She does have a bad temper.

Sometimes things are done without thinking.

but……

……

"How did you come?"

"I'm afraid the old madman won't give you good treatment!"

……

"I feel much better, I shouldn't need to take medicine anymore..."

"Eat! I paid for it! You have to eat even if you are not sick!"

……

"By the way, little brother, what's your name?"

"Chen Jing."

"Oh...my name is Wei Nan. The name on the receipt must have been written by that old lunatic. What nonsense is this? I have the most brains!"

……

"Master! The food is packed! I will accompany you..."

"No, I can just go by myself."

"Are you really planning to go find her?" Chen Boxu was stunned. He was not angry when his grandson refused to listen. He shook his head in confusion, "It seems you don't believe what grandpa said..."

"True, but I think there must be some misunderstanding."

Chen Jing took the plastic bag containing the lunch box from Ryan and put the key on the shoe cabinet into his pocket with a normal expression on his face.

"And I have to go find her and apologize, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

"You are so old, why are you still acting like a child..."

Chen Bofu held a cigarette in his mouth and turned around to continue watching TV. When he heard the sound of the door closing behind him, his smile remained unchanged.

Forget it.

Let your grandson do what he wants to do. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about with me watching in this building...

By this time, the news program on TV had ended.

Chen Bofu rubbed his cloudy old eyes, slowly climbed up from the sofa, stood up straight and stretched comfortably, and a series of crisp sounds suddenly sounded in his skinny and hunched body.

"Ryan, you wait here for the young master to come back. I'll go lie down for a while."

"Okay sir!"

"Want to watch TV? I'll turn it off if you don't want to watch."

"I...I won't look at it..."

"You can watch it if you want. We don't have to pay the electricity bill at home..."

Just as Ryan carefully took the remote control from Chen Boxu's hand, the black and white screen mobile phone placed aside suddenly rang.

Chen Bofu glanced at the caller ID, then yawned and answered the call.

"Hey?"

"Old man, it's me, Yuhu."

Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Bofu raised his hand and clasped his ears, and said impatiently: "Oh, I can hear your voice, Mr. Yu Hui, the Sheriff of Taiping District, right?"

As soon as Chen Bofu became polite, the person on the other end of the phone couldn't sit still.

"Old man, I just learned about your grandson's attack. No one expected that the wasteland polluting species would come to the city during the moon festival..."

Jade Snake's tone on the other end of the phone became more and more nervous, as if he knew that if he couldn't explain the matter clearly, he would be in big trouble.

"Originally, I wanted to explain it to you in person, but my investigation has not yet come to fruition..."

"Okay, then you go check it out first. Why are you talking to an old man like me so much?"

Chen Bofu just smiled, but the sense of oppression revealed in his words made Yu Hao on the other end of the phone a little frightened.

Because he knows what this old madman's reverse scale is.

"Old man, I will give you an explanation for this matter."

Hearing Yu Hui's solemn assurance, Chen Bofu did not answer, but stared at the chandelier on the ceiling in a daze.

Although Yu Hao on the other side of the phone couldn't hear Chen Boxu's voice, he didn't dare to hang up the phone and could only wait patiently.

"You come over tomorrow." Chen Bofu suddenly said.

Yu Hui said nothing, as if hesitating.

"Tomorrow at noon." Chen Bofu added.

Upon hearing this, Yu Hui immediately knew that he had no possibility of refusing, not to mention that he did not have the courage to refuse.

"it is good."

"Come back after dinner time! Don't try to take advantage of my family's meal!"

"……OK."
