Chapter 90

Xie Yu's mind went crazy, as if something suddenly exploded.

　　Then the blood all over his body coagulated little by little.

　　He had a password lock on his phone, and the text messages sent by Zhou Dalei were squeezed together to take up most of the lock screen. Although not all of them were displayed, the general meaning of the several text messages could still be seen when the contents were put together.

　　...

　　"Dalei," Xie Yu slowly curled his fingers and clenched them 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. Sit there until noon. In fact, she no longer knew how long time had passed. It seemed very long, but not that long. She only saw the sky outside gradually getting brighter.

　　Xie Yu had just finished speaking, and was about to add another sentence, "Don't think too much," when Gu Xuelan asked again, "What's going on?"

　　Her throat was dry when she spoke, and her aura was different from the first question. The words were different, showing an unnatural calm after the violent ups and downs of emotions. A word stuck in his mouth, and he took a few seconds to say it.

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

　　Seeing her reaction, Xie Yu guessed that Zhou Dalei probably sold him directly without even thinking about it.

　　My mind was so confused just now that I forgot to consider this aspect. According to Zhou Dalei's temperament, if he really chased him and asked, he would immediately become panicked and there would be no way to hide the matter.

　　Faced with Ms. Gu's question, Xie Yu was silent for a while and did not answer.

　　Zhou Dalei really didn't think about these text messages of his. He hit the ground by mistake and turned the matter upside down.

　　After finishing his eloquent post last night, he was about to put down his cell phone and go to sleep. A call from Aunt Lan shocked him so much that he almost rolled up his bed and fell off the bed.

　　Gu Xuelan didn't ask a few questions before he told her everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.

　　"I only found out about this not long ago, and Boss Xie didn't let me talk about it, but I was holding back the discomfort," Zhou Dalei said as he opened the window for some air, and added, "...Aunt Lan, he just wants you to spend time at Zhong's house. It's better to have less people to do those bad things. "

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

　　After Gu Xuelan married, the reorganized family became particularly awkward. Mrs. Zhong's position was not easy to sit in, not to mention that there was Zhong Jie in the family who was uncomfortable without causing trouble.

　　Xie Yu is usually silent and looks like he's too lazy to care about you.

　　Gu Xuelan always thought that since he was still young, she could just bear the pressure. She didn't expect what the people around him said and saw... It turned out that he could see everything clearly.

　　Gu Xuelan's hands trembled uncontrollably when she thought about this. She wanted to raise her hands to pull up 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 powerlessness and weightlessness swept over me.

　　Her last remaining impression 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 a medicine box and warned as he walked: "It's still the same problem. I told you to pay more attention to it, so why don't you be careful? Pay more attention to rest and don't work too hard...take good care of yourself."

　　Xie Yu Still in a daze.

　　A Fang sent the family doctor out. When she walked back, she couldn't hold it back. She stood at the door of the master bedroom and said softly: "My wife has not been in good health these days. You are always in school and you may not know that you went there a few months ago." I went to the hospital... She didn't sleep all night, so she was sitting downstairs waiting for you."

　　After saying this, A Fang sighed: "No matter what happens, please talk to me."

　　Xie Yu sat on Ms. Gu's bed. Along the way, the sounds downstairs gradually became distant. There was no other thought in my mind except that I felt like an asshole.

　　He paused, and finally touched her hand gently.

　　-It

　　was already evening when Gu Xuelan woke up.

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

　　Xie Yu was busy in the kitchen for a while.

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

　　The knife fell from the hand.

　　The knife struck the chopping board with a muffled sound.

　　Zhou Dalei swallowed his saliva and said, "...Thank you, boss?

　　"

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

　　"Okay."

　　Xie Yu put down the knife, saw that the time was almost up, and poured the chopped ingredients into the pot: "This has nothing to do with you. "

　　Zhou Dalei thought that with Xie Yu's bad temper, he could live for two more days at most, but he didn't expect to be acquitted.

　　Zhou Dalei got an advantage, but he still felt uncomfortable: "Huh? Are you sure you don't want to settle a score with me?"

　　"Settling a score is bullshit," Xie Yu said, "It's my own problem... You miss me and you so much." Let's settle the score, are you sick?"

　　He is not that ignorant.

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

　　"How is Aunt Lan now?" Zhou Dalei asked, "Are you okay? You have to be careful about your health."

　　After hanging up the phone, Xie Yu looked at the heat rolling up from the pot. For some reason, something suddenly popped into his mind. What He Chao said to him in the classroom, 'Be nice to her in your own way, may not be what she wants'.

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

　　I typed a lot of words, but finally deleted them all, leaving only one word.

　　-elder brother.

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

　　By the time 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 recent years, her communication with Xie Yu has become very rare.

　　She could feel that this child was learning to be independent little by little, and did not need her help with many things, and was... getting further and further away from her.

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

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

　　She took the bowl of soup and drank it in small sips in silence.

　　"I also hope you have a good life," Gu Xuelan lowered her head and looked at the red dates in the bowl after a few sips. The corners of her eyes got wet, and she whispered, "As long as you have a good life."

　　"On Heishui Street . When I was young, I kept thinking about giving you a better living environment, not to mention a comfortable life, but at least you would not have to worry about food and clothing."

　　"I never thought about it..."

　　Gu Xuelan paused after saying this. "If that's the case, I'd rather I wasn't Mrs. Zhong."

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

　　He has had a tough temper since he was a child. No matter what happened, he would never shed tears. Now his eyes were uncontrollably wet. He felt uncomfortable and a little embarrassed. He raised his head and threw back the wet heat and called her again. Voice: "Mom."

　　Gu Xuelan raised her eyes and looked at him.

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

　　Gu Xuelan recalled the sentence that Xie Yu used to choke her before, "Do you think I will get into Tsinghua University or Peking University?" She put the bowl aside and raised her hand to wipe it. Wiping the corners of his eyes, he made him laugh: "...Anything is fine, as long as you like it, any school is fine."

　　He Chao would occasionally go to the library for a while during the holidays. He would set his mobile phone to silent mode and wait until he closed the book to pick it up. When I checked the time on my phone, I saw the sentence "Brother" sent by Xie Yu.

　　To avoid disturbing others in the library, He Chao returned the books and walked outside the library while dialing the phone: "What's wrong?"

　　Then he heard Xie Yu say: "Brother, who will take the test next time?" "One."

　　He Chaozheng wanted to ask "last one"?

　　Xie Yu said again: "The one with the positive number." He Chao

　　walked out of the side door. Hearing these three words, he stopped again. He knew what it meant for the child to want to be the first in the positive number. He had been pretending for so long, and now When it comes to taking the first place in the exam, there is only one possibility left. It was getting dark outside. He Chao leaned against 　　the wall

　　and asked, "Are you serious?"

Go to a few rows of street lights not far away.

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

　　A month's holiday is not long, and it passes 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.

　　"Happy New Year" was all over the screen in the class.

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

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

　　[Xu Qingqing]: Brother Yu, wait until we finish robbing you before we bring you in.

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

　　[Wanda]: Never question our friendship! We are still friends!

　　[Liu Cunhao]: Although I say so, friends are nothing in front of red envelopes!

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

　　He Chao was quite lucky that night. He grabbed the biggest share of the hundreds of dollars given out by Old Tang in the class.

　　[Liu Cunhao]: King of luck! Fifty bucks! Awesome, Brother Chao!

　　[Luo Wenqiang]: Why do I only have 50 cents? This is unscientific... Do you have to hurt me, a slum boy, like this?

　　[Wanda]: Hahahahahahahahahahaha fifty cents, five yuan for me, suddenly I think five yuan is pretty good. Very contented.

　　...

　　Gu Xuelan saw off the last guest, feeling relieved and sat down next to Xie Yu. She didn't eat anything at the dinner table just now. She complained while eating dessert: "I didn't even watch the Spring Festival Gala. I watched half of the skit just now. What's going on next? How is that person?"

　　How did Xie Yu know that he didn't even watch it ? He didn't look carefully: "Are there any sketches?"

　　Gu Xuelan: "..."

　　Xie Yu watched a few more programs with Ms. Gu, but couldn't feel the laughter at all.

　　The phone vibrated twice and he glanced down secretly. It was a red envelope sent to him by He Chao.

　　Xu Qingqing and the others took every precaution and resorted to destructive tricks like kicking people. They never expected that the biggest red envelope would fall into Xie Yu's hands.

　　[He Chao]: Whatever I grab, I'll give it to you.

　　Fireworks were being set off outside the window.

　　Accompanied by several loud noises, the sky was filled with tiny and colorful stars, flashing across the night sky.
