hypocritically

Lin Peizhen finally gave up the Xu family's old house. This house disgusted Xu Keqin. He didn't want to stay for a minute, so he asked an assistant to deal with it at a low price as soon as possible.

The fourth sister made a list of the things in the house and asked Xu Keqin to look at them one by one, "Let the assistant find a way to get rid of Dad's collection. I don't want anything else. If the wife wants her own things, let her take it away."

Such a place, Xu Keqin has never called it "home". This is the place where his father cut off the relationship between father and son with his own hands. It is Xu Keqin's purgatory. Every time he lives here, he feels extremely disgusted.

"Fourth sister, you have been in the Xu family for so many years, and I moved to a new house, will you still go with me?"

Fourth Sister is just a title. Fourth Sister is a few years older than Xu Zhenli. She has worked in the Xu family all her life and has done her best to everyone. She has never neglected Xu Keqin because she is an illegitimate child.

"As long as Mr. Xu, you don't dislike me for being old." The grievances between Xu Keqin and the Xu family are not that important to the fourth sister. She is getting old, and it is not a good thing to change employers and new working environments. Xu Keqin can still use her, she is already grateful to Dade.

Xu Keqin nodded, "I don't like having too many people in my family, so I'll trouble you about family matters from now on."

"By the way, Mr. Xu." The fourth sister took out a mobile phone from her pocket, "I found this mobile phone in your room when I was packing up."

Xu Keqin doesn't want many expensive things at home, and the fourth sister will ask about this phone in particular because she has seen it several times.

Xu Keqin had just arrived at Xu's house, and he tidied up the room for him. I saw it in a drawer. Later, when Xu Keqin was studying at university, this phone followed Xu Keqin to province B. Later, when Xu Keqin came back from M province, this phone followed him. Xu Keqin It must have a special meaning to be able to carry it with you all the time.

The moment Xu Keqin saw the phone, he froze for a moment, "Go and do your work." He took the phone and sat on the sofa.

Today's electronic products are changing with each passing day. After several years of updating, the model of this mobile phone is already very outdated. Xu Keqin drew the outline of the mobile phone with his fingers, and when he touched the raised side button, he subconsciously pressed it.

The sound of pressing the keys made his heart sink. After a few seconds, the pitch-black screen did not surprise him. Let alone whether there is electricity or not, it has been so long, and the parts are aging, so it may not be able to turn on the machine.

Such a result was obviously within my expectations, and I don't know where the inexplicable sense of loss came from.

Old things are like old people. When they are not mentioned, they will lie quietly in the corner. One day, when they are defenseless, they will appear in front of their eyes. Those things that they don’t want to think about will rush into their minds Chung.

In the past few years, no one mentioned Guo Xiao's name in front of Xu Keqin. He didn't care about Guo Xiao's life and forced himself not to think about this person.

But... this does not mean that the traces of Guo Xiao in his heart can be erased, just like this mobile phone, which will appear without warning, catching Xu Keqin off guard, as if a piece of his heart is missing.

There were many reasons for breaking up with Guo Xiao at the beginning. He couldn't protect Guo Xiao comprehensively, and he didn't want to be distracted by Guo Xiao. He made all kinds of excuses for himself, all in order to end the relationship with Guo Xiao.

He already got what he wanted, and lost a part, as if he couldn't get it back.

Guo Xiao had a huge influence on him, he even missed the days when the two lived at the back door of the school, it was really hard to forget Guo Xiao.

Xu Keqin claims to be a decisive person, he will not change his decision easily, and he will not regret his choice, but only with Guo Xiao, he has been procrastinating.

"Mr. Xu." The fourth sister came downstairs with the packed luggage. After the old house was packed, the new house is still being furnished. Xu Keqin is going to live in a hotel recently. "The luggage and medicine are packed, I will help you." Get it in the car."

Xu Keqin was a little tired, so he didn't go back to the company, so he asked the driver to take him to the hotel, where he processed some documents and it was dark the day after.

"Come here today." He ordered the assistant on the phone, and then went into the bathroom to wash up.

Before going to bed, Xu Keqin habitually dug out the medicine bottle from his luggage. He didn’t recognize the bed. To him, a hotel is the same as a new house. They are just a place to sleep. None of the thousands of lights outside the French windows belong to his.

Since all the dust settled, my insomnia symptoms have become more and more serious. When lying in bed, my mind is always blank, and I can't fall asleep no matter what. I can only rely on medicine to maintain sleep.

Xu Keqin casually put the medicine bottle on the bedside table, wrapped it in a quilt, and waited for the medicine to take effect.

The star spots that penetrated through the hollow of the curtain gradually became blurred, Xu Keqin's consciousness gradually became remote, and the sound of the bicycle could be heard clearly in his ears.

"Xu Keqin! Xu Keqin!"

A long-lost shout came from behind, Xu Keqin looked back, and Guo Xiao was riding towards him on a bicycle.

The bicycle "squeaked" and stopped beside Xu Keqin, and Guo Xiao was panting a bit, "Xu Keqin, can I go to your house on Saturday?"

his home?

Guo Xiao looks very immature in front of him, his school uniform...

"You did all the questions you asked me to do last week." Guo Xiao scratched his face in embarrassment, "Thanks to you helping me with tutoring, I also passed those questions in the mock exam."

Are you making up lessons for Guo Xiao?

Xu Keqin raised his head and glanced at the surrounding scenery. No wonder it looked so familiar, it was the street outside Tongzilou. No wonder Guo Xiao looked so immature and was in high school.

Seeing that Xu Keqin was silent, Guo Xiao parked his bicycle, walked around Xu Keqin, and finally looked at Xu Keqin's expression carefully.

"Why don't you talk? Are you free on Saturday?"

Guo Xiao has great firepower, and the sweat and heat on his body have not yet dissipated. Xu Keqin can feel his breath when he is so close. Have you ever told Guo Xiao that he sweats easily, so don't get so close to him.

"By the way!" Guo Xiao took out a test paper from his bicycle bag, "I improved again in the mock test two days ago, and the teacher praised me. As long as I can keep improving, I can take the same test as you university."

Xu Keqin took the test paper, but his eyes stayed on Guo Xiao's face, "You want to go to the same university as me so much?"

"Of course, I'll go wherever you go." Guo Xiao vowed, "But... I'm afraid I don't have that ability, I will work hard."

Why?Why does Guo Xiao even follow him in his dream?

Xu Keqin opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound, Guo Xiao shouldn't have followed him, shouldn't have come looking for him, the two of them...

Guo Xiao didn't know what Xu Keqin was thinking, and said to himself, "Xu Keqin, it would be great if we could always be together."

okay?What's so good about it?

Xu Keqin asked silently, but Guo Xiao failed to answer his question. The next second, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the endless darkness in front of him drowned him. It took a long time before the sound of the horn outside the window brought him back to reality.

Xu Keqin raised his hands to cover his eyes, he was breathing violently, his heart beating faster, he jumped out of bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and took out the mobile phone from the suitcase.

In the middle of the night, the assistant received a picture from Xu Keqin. After studying the picture for a long time, he realized that it was the charging port of the mobile phone. Just when he was wondering, Xu Keqin called.

"boss?"

"Help me find a charger of this style, and bring it to me tomorrow morning."

The assistant thought he had heard it wrong, but Xu Keqin called at this time, but it was just to ask for a charger, "Okay."

"Also!" Xu Keqin suddenly raised his voice, "Check someone out for me."

Early the next morning, the assistant knocked on the door of Xu Keqin's room with a charger. Xu Keqin's face was not very good, probably because he didn't sleep well last night. When he saw the charger, his expression eased a little.

But after the phone was plugged in, there was still no response, and Xu Keqin's expression became more dignified than the naked eye could see.

The phone looked like it was a few years ago, and the assistant didn't know where Xu Keqin got the antique, "Boss, if this phone doesn't work, can I get another one?"

Xu Keqin didn't speak, but the assistant understood that there was a high probability that it couldn't be changed, and he said again: "Maybe it's a bad connection, or I'll take it for you to repair it?"

Hearing this, Xu Keqin reacted a little, unplugged the phone and handed it to the assistant, and specifically said, "Don't restore the factory settings."

"clear."

The charging port of the mobile phone was indeed in poor contact. The repairman cleaned up the charging port, plugged in the charger, and the screen instantly lit up, "Okay."

To be on the safe side, the assistant has to watch the phone turn on completely.

Accompanied by the power-on notification sound, this old mobile phone was a little bit stuck, and the screen paused for a few seconds after it was turned on, and then news continued to come in.

"Hey, you still have a lot of news, let's take a look."

The assistant waved his hand, he didn't dare to look, "It's fine if it can be turned on." After paying the money, he hurried back to work with his mobile phone.

The mobile phone rang all the way, until it ran out of battery when it was just charged downstairs in the company, and turned it off again.

The assistant handed the phone to Xu Keqin, "Boss, it's ready to use, you can turn it on after charging it yourself."

Xu Keqin didn't ask any more questions, took the phone and plugged it into the charger, and the assistant said again: "Boss, there is news about the Mr. Guo you asked me to check."

In fact, Guo Xiao's life is very simple. Apart from going to work, he still goes to work. He has no complicated social relationships, let alone a messy social circle.

Guo Xiao stayed in Mingda, Xu Keqin was not surprised at all, Guo Xiao's resilience will always play a role in critical moments.

Then, the assistant said the name of Guo Xiao's immediate boss, Tang Ruishan.

Guo Xiao could check too little, and the assistant didn't dare to ask more questions. Did Xu Keqin want to know about such trivial matters?

The assistant took out a photo, which showed Guo Xiao eating with two men, one of them was Min Yun, and Xu Keqin could guess that the other was Tang Ruishan.
