Fake Slackers

There was a 'boom' in Xie Yu's mind, as if something exploded suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, the blood all over his body congealed little by little.

His mobile phone was locked with a password, and the text messages sent by Zhou Dalei were crowded together to occupy more than half of the lock screen interface. Although not all of them were displayed, the content of several text messages could still be seen roughly.

……

"Da Lei," Xie Yu slowly curled his fingers into fists, subconsciously choosing to keep the matter a secret, "He was joking, there is no such thing."

Gu Xuelan didn't sleep all night, she sat there from midnight to noon.In fact, she no longer knew how long the time had passed. It seemed to be a long time, but it was not that long. She only saw the sky outside gradually brighten up.

As soon as Xie Yu finished speaking, he was about to bite the bullet and add "Don't think too much", when Gu Xuelan asked again: "What's going on?"

When she spoke, her throat was dry, and her momentum was different from the first question, showing an unnatural calmness after the violent ups and downs of emotions. A sentence stuck in her mouth, and she waited for a few seconds before she could speak.

"——how long are you going to lie to me?"

Seeing her reaction, Xie Yu guessed that Zhou Dalei probably sold him out without thinking.

My mind was too confused just now, and I forgot to consider this layer.According to Zhou Dalei's temperament, if he really chased him and asked him, he would panic immediately and couldn't hide the matter at all.

Facing Ms. Gu's questioning, Xie Yu was silent for a while without answering.

Zhou Dalei really didn't think about these few text messages of his own, and hit the ground by mistake, and directly exposed the matter to the bottom of the sky.

Last night, after he finished posting eloquently, he was about to put down his phone and go to sleep, when Aunt Lan's phone call shocked him so much that he almost rolled up his bedding and fell off the bed.

Gu Xuelan didn't ask a few words, he said everything that should be said and should not be said.

"I just found out about this not too long ago. Boss Xie didn't let me talk about it, but I'm feeling uncomfortable," Zhou Dalei said while opening the window to breathe, and then said, "...Aunt Lan, he just wants you to spend time at Zhong's house. Better off, less people forcing those bad things."

The Zhong Group is a well-known family business in City A.

After Gu Xuelan got married, this reorganized family seemed particularly embarrassing, Mrs. Zhong's position was not easy to sit in, not to mention there was Zhong Jie in the family who was uncomfortable without making trouble.

Xie Yu is usually silent, and looks like "too lazy to care about you".

Gu Xuelan always thought that he was still young, and she could just bear these pressures, but she didn't expect what the people around her said and how they saw it...it turned out that he could see it clearly.

Thinking back to this, Gu Xuelan trembled uncontrollably, and wanted to raise the coat on her shoulders, but found that she couldn't do it at all.

My mind went blank for a moment, and a strong sense of loss of force and weightlessness swept over me.

Her last and only memory was hearing Xie Yu yell "Mom—" in a panic.

There were footsteps coming and going all around.

After Gu Xuelan fainted, the Zhong family was in chaos.

The family doctor came down from the second floor with the medicine box, and told me as he walked: "It's still the problem. I told you to be more careful. Why don't you be careful. Usually pay more attention to rest and don't work hard... Take care of yourself."

Xie Yu was still in a daze.

Ah Fang sent the family doctor out, and she couldn't hold back when she walked back. She stood at the door of the master bedroom and said softly: "My wife has been in poor health for a while. You may not know that you are always at school. You went to school a few months ago." I went to the hospital... She didn't sleep all night last night, so she sat downstairs and waited for you. "

Ah Fang sighed after saying this, "No matter what happens, talk about it."

Xie Yu sat beside Ms. Gu's bed, and the voices downstairs gradually became distant.I had no other thoughts in my head, I just felt like an asshole.

He paused, and finally touched her hand lightly.

It was already evening when Gu Xuelan woke up.

Ah Fang happened to be packing up her things in the room. Seeing that she was awake, she quickly picked out a few good words: "Second Young Master is making soup for you in the kitchen. He was so worried that he didn't go downstairs for dinner. If there was anything else, he would go To put it bluntly... a very sensible child."

Xie Yu was busy in the kitchen for a while.

Zhou Dalei happened to call when he was cutting the ingredients. The moment the call was connected, Zhou Dalei heard a "bang" on the other side clearly.

Knife up and down.

The knife hit the chopping board with a muffled sound.

Zhou Dalei swallowed his saliva: "...Thank, thank you boss?"

Xie Yu didn't speak, and cut down again.

Zhou Dalei shrank his neck, continued to defend himself before dying, and sought reprieve: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. Life is full of surprises and surprises. I was playing a game last night, and the team on the opposite side was really bad. , and then I thought of you, my good brother—”

"okay."

Xie Yu put down the knife, checked the time was about the same, the heat rolled up, and poured the chopped ingredients into the pot: "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Zhou Dalei thought that with Xie Yu's bad temper, he could at most live for two more days, but he didn't expect to be released without charge.

Zhou Dalei got cheap, but still felt uncomfortable: "Ah? Are you sure you don't want to settle accounts with me?"

"A fart account," Xie Yu said, "it's my own problem... You want me to settle accounts with you so much, are you sick?"

He's not that indifferent.

No matter what you say about this matter, you can't blame Zhou Dalei.

"How is Aunt Lan now?" Zhou Dalei asked, "Are you all right, you have to take care of your body."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Yu looked at the hot steam coming up from the pot. For some reason, the words He Zhao said to him in the classroom at the beginning popped up in his mind, "Treat her well in your own way, not necessarily She wants'.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and found the word 'He Zhao' in the contact list.

I typed a lot, and finally deleted them all, leaving only one word.

-elder brother.

This pot of soup has been stewed for most of the day.

When Xie Yu brought the soup upstairs, Gu Xuelan had already sat on the bed for a while leaning on the pillow.

Rather than being angry with Xie Yu, she was more angry with herself.

In the past few years, her communication with Xie Yu has become very rare.

She could feel that this child was learning to be independent little by little, that she didn't need her help in many things, and was getting farther and farther away from her.

"Mom." Xie Yu wanted to say 'I'm sorry', but these three words, just like 'I love you', are more difficult to say to the closer people.

Gu Xuelan looked at him, neither continuing to question nor criticizing him harshly.

She took the bowl of soup and drank it silently.

"I also hope you live well." After taking a few sips, Gu Xuelan lowered her head and looked at the red dates in the bowl, the corners of her eyes were slightly wet, and said in a low voice, "As long as you live well."

"When I was in Heishui Street, I thought about it all day, I wanted to give you a better living environment, not to mention a good life, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"I never thought..."

When Gu Xuelan said this, she paused: "If this is the case, I would rather I am not some Mrs. Zhong."

Xie Yu raised his head calmly, his eyes were obviously red.

He has a hard temper since he was a child, and no matter what happens, he never shed tears. Now his eyes are wet uncontrollably, he feels uncomfortable, and he is a bit ashamed. :"mom."

Gu Xuelan looked up at him.

Xie Yu asked again: "Do you like Tsinghua University or Peking University?"

Gu Xuelan recalled the phrase Xie Yu used to choke her in the past, "Do you think I will be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University", she put the bowl beside her hand, raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, and was amused by him: "...anything is fine , as long as you like, any school will do.”

He Chao would occasionally go to the library for a while during the holidays, set his phone to silent mode, and waited until he closed the book and checked the time on his phone before seeing the phrase "Brother" that Xie Yu sent over.

To avoid disturbing others in the library, He Zhao returned the book, dialed the phone and walked outside the library: "What's wrong?"

Then he heard Xie Yu say: "Brother, who will be the first in the next test."

He Zhaozheng wanted to ask "the bottom one"?

Xie Yu said again, "It's a positive number."

He Zhao walked out from the side door, and stopped again when he heard these three words. He knew what it meant for a child to want to be number one in the test, and he had pretended for so long. possible.

It was getting dark outside, He Zhao leaned against the wall and asked, "Are you serious?"

Xie Yu was very courageous, sitting on the balcony guardrail to enjoy the breeze, with his hands propped on the edge of the guardrail, the soles of his feet hanging in the air, looking down from the second floor, he could only see a few rows of street lights not far away.

"Seriously," facing the wind, Xie Yu slowly closed his eyes and said, "I understand what you said to me before."

The one-month holiday was not long, and it passed in the blink of an eye.

During the Chinese New Year, it snowed again in City A, and a thick layer of snow piled up on the ground.

The screens in the class were full of 'Happy New Year'.

In addition to exchanging blessings, the most active activity in the class is to grab red envelopes.

In order to grab the red envelopes, the administrator even kicked Xie Yu out of the group.

[Xu Qingqing]: Brother Yu, I will pull you in after we finish the fight.

[Xu Qingqing]: New Year's Eve, you're so lucky, I don't think it's suitable for us to grab red envelopes in a group, please let us live.

[Wanda]: Don't question our friendship!we are still friends!

[Liu Cunhao]: Although it is said so, but in front of red envelopes, friends are nothing!

[Luo Wenqiang]: Mouse, what you said is so incisive.

He Zhao had good luck that night, he grabbed the biggest share of the hundreds given out by Old Tang in the class.

[Liu Cunhao]: King of Luck! 50 RMB!Great, Brother Chao!

[Luo Wenqiang]: Why do I only have [-] cents? This is unscientific...Do you have to hurt me, a slum boy, so much?

[Wanda]: Hahahahahaha fifty cents, five yuan for me, I suddenly think that five yuan is also quite good.Very contented.

……

Gu Xuelan saw off the last guest, feeling relieved, and sat down beside Xie Yu.She didn't eat much at the dinner table just now, and complained while eating dessert: "I didn't see it as a Spring Festival Gala. I watched half of the sketch just now. What's going on later? How is that person?"

How did Xie Yu know, he didn't look carefully at all: "Is there any sketch?"

Gu Xuelan: "..."

Xie Yu watched a few more shows with Ms. Gu, but she couldn't feel the humor at all.

The phone vibrated twice, and he secretly looked down, it was a red envelope sent to him by He Zhao.

Xu Qingqing and the others took all precautions, and even resorted to such insidious tricks as kicking people, but they never expected that the biggest red envelope would still fall into Xie Yu's hands.

[He Zhao]: If you grab it, I will give it to you.

There were fireworks just outside the window.

Accompanied by a few loud noises, the sky was full of trivial and colorful starlight, which flashed across the night sky.
