hypocritically

Guo Xiao is blunt, but he has learned to observe words and emotions since he was a child. Xu Keqin is very happy recently. Xu Keqin's emotions will not be easily expressed on his face, but will be revealed in some details.

For example, for the homework he assigned to Guo Xiao, even if Guo Xiao's accuracy rate did not meet the standard, he would not speak harshly like before, but just asked Guo Xiao to memorize and do it again.

After finishing today's learning content, Guo Xiao asked a lot, "You seem to be in a good mood recently?"

Xu Keqin was noncommittal, and handed the homework at hand to Guo Xiao, as if asking why Guo Xiao asked such a question?

"Because of what?" Guo Xiao was very contradictory. In his heart, he regarded Xu Keqin as his best friend, so he wanted to know Xu Keqin's thoughts, and worried that he didn't know how to measure, so in front of Xu Keqin, whether it was Speaking or doing things, they are all timid.

Xu Keqin didn't expect that Guo Xiao looked stunned, but he was actually quite sensitive inside.

Is he in a good mood?Well, the plan can be carried out according to his own tone, and the result he obtained is also what he wants. How could he be in a bad mood?

"The building is so lively recently, of course I'm in a good mood."

Guo Xiao is sensitive to emotions, but he couldn't understand Xu Keqin's voice, so he nodded in a fog.

For him, Xu Keqin can be a little patient, and it is a little easier for him to learn.

Guo Xiao is very disciplined. After studying at Xu Keqin's house, he knows how to clear the table for others, and the time for the takeaway is just right. When he clears the table, it will be delivered to the door.

Seeing Xu Keqin unpacking the takeout, Guo Xiao always felt that something was missing in Xu Keqin's house. He glanced in the direction of the living room, and the house was quiet and empty.

Xu Keqin's mother hasn't been home for a long time.

Xu Keqin's mother didn't stay at home for a long time, but it wasn't like this time that she didn't show up for so long.

How long has it been?

a week?Half a month?a month?two months?Is it before the final exam?or earlier?

Because recently he accompanied Xu Keqin to class and went home from dinner, so he didn't seem to notice anything else.

Without a specific time, Xu Keqin would not take the initiative to tell him.

Guo Xiao murmured: "It seems... I haven't seen Auntie for a long time..."

Xu Keqin, who took a bite of the takeaway, paused. Seeing Xu Keqin's movements, Guo Xiao's alarm to "detect whether Xu Keqin was angry" suddenly sounded, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Fang's house was silent for a while, Xu Keqin said in a flat voice, "Get out after cleaning up."

Guo Xiao swallowed his comforting words, Xu Keqin didn't seem to need comfort, at least he didn't need his comfort, he packed his textbooks and ran out of Xu Keqin's house in despair.

For a month in a row, Xu Keqin has habitually ordered the same takeaway. He is a very picky person, but the environment he lives in does not allow him to be too picky. He finally found a restaurant that he could barely swallow. The taste was so bad that he found it hard to swallow after only one mouthful.

After Guo Xiao was scolded and left, he was the only one in the whole family. He could feel this feeling of complete silence every night.

He always thought that when he was in college, he could bid farewell to his current life, and everything would be fine. He just didn't expect his mother to quit early. It turned out that being abandoned was different from leaving by himself.

He has always wanted to fight for the initiative, but God seems to be joking with him, he can't choose his parents, he can't choose his origin, he can't keep his mother from leaving, and he can't get his parents' company.

He can't get what he wants, and he doesn't have the right to say no to what he doesn't want.

He is the first one his parents give up when they choose the life they want.

Xu Keqin is not a person who complains about himself. Since no one in this world will choose him first, then he doesn't need anyone's preference.

The unpleasant experience in the afternoon made Guo Xiao forget about eating and drinking, and slipped back to his room without eating two mouthfuls of dinner.

He didn't understand why Xu Keqin suddenly became so angry, he only knew that he had said the wrong thing.

The snow-white wall was illuminated by the light, Guo Xiao stared at the wall and was distracted. He is not a stingy and vengeful person. No matter how ugly Xu Keqin said, he can make excuses for Xu Keqin. Okay, but he was timid, for fear that Xu Keqin would find him annoying, for fear that he would completely piss off Xu Keqin.

Two knocks on the door interrupted Guo Xiao's train of thought. In this house, the only person who would knock on the door of his room was the aunt.

"The door is not locked."

Cheng Manwan has not been busy with work recently, and Guo Xiao's life at home is better. Just after eating, she noticed that Guo Xiao didn't eat much and looked preoccupied, so she asked Guo Xiao about the situation.

"What? Don't you like today's food? Tell my aunt what you want to eat."

"No." He quickly denied, "I'm just not very hungry."

Guo Xiao is not picky about food, he can cook two bowls of white rice by himself, so there is nothing he doesn't like.

"Did something happen to you?" Guo Xiao was innocent, and Cheng Manwan also understood her innocent nephew, probably because of Xu Keqin, "Did you get into trouble with Xu Keqin?"

Cheng Manwan herself was not sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to associate with Xu Keqin with Guo Xiao's temper.

Guo Xiao couldn't tell whether it was a quarrel or not, but he hasn't since he was young.

"Today... I said the wrong thing, Xu Keqin was a little upset..." Guo Xiao also felt that he was stupid, so stupid that he didn't even know why Xu Keqin was angry, "I just said that I haven't seen Aunt Ji for a long time..."

Guo Xiao's words reminded himself that Ji Huixiu had indeed not appeared for a long time.

As long as Ji Huixiu appeared, every time there would be trouble in the building, maybe there were too many things going on in the building recently, so I didn't notice her. Cheng Manwan felt that Ji Huixiu's absence this time was different from the past.

"Everyone has things that they don't want to mention. Xu Keqin's family is rather special. He may not like to talk about these things." Cheng Manwan will not easily interfere with Guo Xiao's making friends. In her opinion, Guo Xiao cherishes Xu Keqin as a friend, " If you think you said something wrong, then apologize, don't you have to go to his house to make up lessons tomorrow?"

Cheng Manwan also knew what Guo Xiao was worrying about, "It's okay to be timid, but it's not good to back down. When something happens, you have to solve the problem, and it's useless to hide and blame yourself."

Early the next morning, when Xu Keqin went out for a morning run, most of the residents in the building hadn't gotten up yet, only a few elderly people on the first floor were washing things in the yard.

Students are the main force of the breakfast shop. During the summer vacation, the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop is also tired, and has lost all his usual energy.

Xu Keqin finished his run, bought two steamed buns, and walked slowly towards the dormitory of the chemical factory. Just as he walked into the alley, someone blocked his way not far away.

Ji Huixiu has a slender figure, and she is not yet pregnant. Wearing a skirt, it is impossible to tell that she is pregnant. She is wearing sunglasses and looking in Xu Keqin's direction. The sunglasses may cover her eyes, but they cannot cover the wound on the corner of her mouth.

Xu Keqin took two steps forward. Ji Huixiu was injured not only at the corner of her mouth, but also had bruises on her arms and calves. Was she beaten?

When walking into the courtyard, the old people who washed things on the first floor seemed to have entered the house. The courtyard was empty. Ji Huixiu followed Xu Keqin and walked home. She didn't take off her sunglasses until she closed the door, revealing her cheekbones. The bruises on the face, a beautiful face, became strange and terrifying.

"Give me some money." Ji Huixiu's tone was the same as before, but there was a cry that was deliberately hidden.

Xu Keqin's mind went blank, he walked to the room mechanically, and handed all the cash to Ji Huixiu. Glancing at the corner of Ji Huixiu's mouth, he blurted out, "You still want to be with him?"

Ji Huixiu stuffed the money into her bag, "Otherwise, what should I do? Children can't be like you. They are born without a father, right? You are lucky to have a rich and cheap father. Do you think that everyone in the world will be like you?" Are you as lucky?"

Is he lucky?This is too funny, is he lucky?

Seeing that Xu Keqin was silent, Ji Huixiu probably realized that she still had to ask him for money, and her attitude softened a lot, "Don't worry, I won't ask you for money after this child is born, aren't you going to go to college? To a place where I can't find you."

"You have to have this baby?"

Ji Huixiu knew that she was ashamed. In front of Xu Keqin, she had long since lost the dignity of being a mother, so she simply broke the jar and said, "Hey! I just want to live with him, so don't worry about my business."

"You told me to leave your affairs alone, why did you still come to me and ask for money, I gave you money to let you raise a man, and now he is beating you? He is beating you when you are pregnant!"

Xu Keqin never cared about his mother's emotional life. When his mother said she was going to leave with another man, he didn't hold back a word. The rage at this moment lifted Ji Huixiu's last fig leaf.

"You can just pretend that you don't have my mother, can you? If you give me money, you can just pretend that you are my pity!"

Ji Huixiu left in a hurry and didn't even close the iron door. She came and went quickly without disturbing anyone in the building.

The blood flow in his body was speeding up. After running in the morning, Xu Keqin's heartbeat hadn't returned to normal until now, his T-shirt was soaked with sweat, and the wet sticky feeling in his palm made him extremely sick.

That man's surname was Hu, Hu Meng, lived in Dagu Street, and worked as an electrician with a meager salary. Xu Keqin didn't know how he met his mother, and he didn't want to know.

Guo Xiao got up late today and missed the morning jog with Xu Keqin. He thought it was time to apologize to Xu Keqin when he made up lessons.

But the door of Xu Keqin's house was closed tightly. He bravely knocked on the door several times, but there was no response from inside. Guo Xiao leaned on the window frame and looked inside with great effort. It was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything.

"Is no one home?" Guo Xiao was a little disappointed, Xu Keqin must be still angry, otherwise why would he not even say hello.
