Delayed confession

Xu Guochang didn't notice Xu Weixi's unhappiness. He picked up a glass of white wine and drank it down in one gulp. He couldn't help but feel proud.

"You can rest on Sundays, too. Your brother is giving a speech on stage, which is so rare."

Xu Weixi took a look at the dazzling array of food in front of him and suddenly lost his appetite. He said disdainfully,

"What's so rare about it? I even won a 20 yuan bonus in the college entrance examination, and I didn't see you guys making such a fuss at that time."

Xu Guochang didn't know what else he wanted to say, but Fang Yuan pulled his shirt corner, and he replied with an embarrassed expression,

"Your brother is still young."

If Xu Weixi still had some mercy before, then when he heard these words, his face turned completely cold.

"I'm stuffed."

Fang Yuan saw that the father and daughter had broken down again, so he stopped Xu Weixi and tried to smooth things over, "You've only eaten so much, eat more."

"No, I'm not eating anymore. By the way, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I need to get enough rest. I'll sleep in the bedroom." After saying this, Xu Weixi went straight back to the bedroom without caring about the expressions of the people behind him.

Outside the window, dusk falls.

Xu Weixi returned to the room, threw his phone on the bed, stood by the window, looked at the Ferris wheel in the distance, and adjusted his mood.

Buzz buzz,

Xu Weixi turned around and picked up the phone on the bed.

Wang Xing: [Xiao Xu, this lecture was very successful. You will go back to the branch office tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to handle some work handovers. Thank you for your hard work.]

Xu Weixi: [Okay.]

-

Xu Weixi heard a knock on the door, minimized the rental website, and turned around.

"Wei Xi, have some fruit." Fang Yuan placed the fruit plate on the computer desk and carefully mixed it for the two of them.

"Don't mind what your dad just said. He didn't mean anything else. He's just stupid."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Xu Weixi forked a piece of apple and shook his head indifferently. He looked up and found Fang Yuan had an indescribable expression. He raised his eyebrows and said,

"Any thing else?"

"You, forget it, just take a rest." Fang Yuan opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything. He walked out of the room with a discouraged look on his face.

Xu Weixi did not ask further questions because she always believed that if the matter was urgent, she would speak up immediately, otherwise, it meant that the matter was not that urgent.

Xu Weixi turned around, opened the web page and continued to search for suitable rental information.

the other side,

"Have you asked?" Xu Guochang asked in a low voice with a nervous look on his face when he saw his wife coming out of the room.

"No, it's not easy for Weixi to make money." Fang Yuan shook his head.

"I know. After we buy a house and let Xiaorui go to Xiqiao No. 1 Middle School, I will earn money to pay her back." Xu Guochang said, sitting on the sofa with a frustrated look on his face.

Fang Yuan looked at her sad-looking husband and her daughter with the bedroom door closed, looking embarrassed. She shook her head and walked towards the kitchen.

Saturday morning,

Xu Weixi stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, listening to the sounds outside the door.

"Are you dressed yet?" Xu Zirui's voice was full of joy.

"Right away, tie your tie."

Xu Weixi seemed to see the scene, the mother was tying the tie for the father with a gentle look on her face, and the son was standing at the door waiting obediently. What a happy family.

She blinked, her eyes dull.

"Sister, are you really not going?"

"My sister is very tired from work and finally got some rest. We can go there."

"Ok."

Xu Weixi's tears flowed from the corners of her eyes as she recalled some things from her childhood.

"I got first place in the whole grade. The teacher asked parents to come. Can you come back?" Xu Weixi nervously held the red microphone in his hand, his words full of hope.

"Mom just gave birth to my brother, and Dad has to make money, so he doesn't have time. You can ask grandma to go."

On a steaming hot summer day, Xu Weixi felt as if he was in an ice cellar, and the microphone in his hand was particularly cold.

On the day of the parents' meeting, Xu Weixi closed his eyes and walked into the head teacher's office with a calm face as he watched his classmates clamoring with their parents to buy snacks.

The head teacher was a gentle female teacher. Seeing that the little girl came alone again, she said with some distress, "Xu Weixi, no one is coming to hold a parent-teacher meeting for you again?"

"They are quite busy." Xu Weixi lowered his eyelashes and explained in a low voice.

"Okay, just do it," Xu Weixi pleaded when she saw the teacher's embarrassed expression.

"Can I drive it myself?"

The head teacher thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then you will tell everyone about the study method later."

After hearing the door close, Xu Weixi slowly sat up, turned sideways and looked at the light rain outside the window with a blank expression.

The ringing of the phone interrupted her unhappiness.

Xu Weixi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, cleared her throat, and answered the phone.

"Xibao, I'm so bored, can you chat with me for a while?" Joey's weak voice came.

"Work is not going well?" Xu Weixi understood her. She would not be like this if she had not encountered something unhappy.

The emotions just now were somewhat distracted by Joey's call.

"No," Joey paused, "The old house was demolished, and all kinds of monsters came out."

Joey's family relationships are somewhat complicated. Her parents divorced, remarried and had children, and she has always lived with her grandparents, two uncles, and three aunts. I guess when she returns this time, people will think she is going to split the relocation money.

"…It's okay. I'll support you if you don't have money."

As expected, Joey was amused.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things, just let them fight each other."

Joey finished laughing and continued,

"Xibao, are you going to the party today?"

Xu Weixi wanted to refuse, but when she saw the loving family of three downstairs, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

"Go, what time?"

"It's eight o'clock in the evening. It seems to be quite far from your home. I'll pick you up."

Xu Weixi opened the window to let the cool air in, shook his stuffy head, and said softly, "Farewell, let's find a middle point."

"Wait a minute, I'll check."

……

"No. 1 Middle School, it takes about 15 minutes to get to this bar by taxi."

Xu Weixi listened to the typing sound on the other side and nodded, "Okay, let's meet at No. 1 Middle School at 7:30 pm."

Just when Xu Weixi wanted to hang up the phone, he clearly felt that his friend was hesitant to speak, so he asked softly,

"what happened?"

Joey hesitantly explained, "I want you to go to this party, but I don't want you to go at the same time."

"Because I transferred to another school?"

"Does anyone think I'm a traitor, helping other schools increase their admission rates to prestigious schools?"

Although Joey hadn't said it, Xu Weixi was so smart that he guessed most of it after a little thought.

"Probably not. We were all children back then, but now we are all adults and won't be so childish anymore."

"I'm just afraid that someone will say something unpleasant." Joey whispered.

Looking at the family of three who had already walked out of sight, Xu Weixi sat down at the desk and turned on the computer.

Xu Weixi had a wooden expression on her face, but her tone remained the same, her voice soft,

"Okay, I'm going because I promised Mu Guanyu that I won't conflict with other people."

"Just because of Xiao Muzi, nothing else?"

"For example, Gu Mochuan?"

Xu Weixi listened to the other party's cautious probing and teasing again and again, and the other party suddenly fell silent.

"For the last incident, you can look for Gu Mochuan."
