chapter Five

Xie Yu's sleep quality has always been poor. Not long after he fell asleep, he was awakened by the sound of things being smashed downstairs.

The porcelain fell to the ground and was torn apart, harsh and crisp.

Accompanied by the sound of smashing things, and the familiar scolding, the man's tone was filled with arrogance in a high position for many years: "This is my house, you all get out of my house - clean up and get out of here! Take it! Open your dirty hands, whoever allows you to touch me is worthy of you—"

Xie Yu raised his hand and pulled off the blindfold but did not open his eyes, his temples were aching.

"Eldest young master, I made sober soup, you can drink some." It was A Fang's voice, and she was arrogant, "You are drinking too much..."

I don't know what was smashed again, and it made a dull sound, and then the man scolded more and more sharply: "I told you to get out, all get out for me, you low-class people, you can't even understand human words. no!"

"Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot. Where can I talk in this house? Some people who don't have the last name Zhong really think they are something."

"..."

Xie Yu tossed and turned on the bed, and finally sat up irritably, cursing, "Fuck."

three years.

This farce lasted for three years.

Three years ago, Gu Xuelan married Zhong Guofei, a well-known entrepreneur in City A, and the news spread all over the city, not only Gu Xuelan, but also Xie Yu were also subjected to all kinds of malicious speculation.

The rumors are really like that.

Those people who watch the fun and don't think it's a big deal have written countless versions of his life without authorization, the most notable of which are the mistress and the illegitimate child.

If Xie Yu hadn't personally experienced so many years of dodging debts everywhere, having one meal but not one, and even dragging on tuition for half a year, he would almost have believed in the endless crappy stories.

As for Zhong Jie, the biological son of Zhong Guofei, no matter which version of the story of the mother and son is, he has no way of accepting it, nor does he care about the facts.

All he knew was the fact that after losing his mother, someone was robbing him of everything he had, including the most important one.

inheritance.

After a long time, the downstairs finally quieted down, and after some good or bad, he finally helped Eldest Young Master Zhong back to the room. Xie Yu was leaning on the bed and clearly heard the sound of them closing the door of Zhong Jie's room, as well as the sound of footsteps walking downstairs as they passed by his door.

Xie Yu opened his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

He suddenly felt thirsty for no apparent reason.

It was as if there was a mass of fire, burning all the way down to the throat.

Gu Xuelan sat on the sofa in the living room, her eyes were desolate, her white gauze nightdress hung down to the ground, she only raised her head slightly when she saw Xie Yu coming down, and seemed very tired: "Why did you come down, I disturbed you?"

Xie Yu guessed that she would be here, and wanted to say, 'How many times have I told you, he wants to go crazy and let him send it himself, it's none of your business', but seeing her like this, he swallowed the words again. , just threw out three words lukewarm: "happy?"

Gu Xuelan: "...In two days, it will be his mother's death day."

Xie Yu: "So you just stood there and let him scold him for an hour."

Gu Xuelan did not speak.

There was no emotion in Xie Yu's tone, but the words he said were piercing: "Damn, did you kill him? Did you rob his father? - If he likes to scold so much, let him scold him. Come on, it's quite cheering."

At this time, Gu Xuelan was no longer as strong as before in the car, she sighed softly: "Don't say that."

Xie Yu said, "No one owes him anything, so he doesn't have anything in his heart?"

"..."

Xie Yu poured two glasses of milk from the kitchen, handed one to Gu Xuelan, and said as calmly as possible: "Mom, go to rest early after drinking, it's very late."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear this tonight. Next time you stand and let him scold him, I'll beat him until he can't speak."

"I do what I say."

Gu Xuelan took the water cup.

The boy standing in front of her didn't know when he had grown so tall, and Gu Xuelan was a little stunned.

The boy's eyebrows and eyes followed her. This kind of appearance should have been feminine, but some kind of stern indifference and sharpness did not know when it broke through the skin, making him look unapproachable, and even made her mother feel strangeness.

Her eyes finally fell on Xie Yu's hair that was curled up from sleeping, and found that the hair was still as soft as when he was a child.

She didn't know what to say for a while, but when she recovered, Xie Yu had already turned upstairs.

Xie Yu's sleep quality was so poor that even milk couldn't work at all. After being woken up after a good sleep, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.

He glanced at the dark night outside the window and suddenly wanted to know what time it was.

I just wanted to check the time, but after I touched my phone, I was completely drowsy.

[Prince of BBQ Stall Lei]: Fuck you, I don't play anymore! [/picture]

[Prince of BBQ Stand • Lei]: This time I really don't play! [/picture]

【Prince of BBQ Stall • Lei】: The last time! If I play again, I'm a pig! [/picture]

Two hours ago, Zhou Dalei posted three screenshots in a row, all of which were written without exception: The score is too low, you are not eligible to enter the game lobby~ Please answer the questions carefully.

Xie Yu replied with one line: Do you think God will be moved by the persistence of the zero-point professional household?

Zhou Dalei probably fell asleep early, and Xie Yu didn't plan to wait for his reply. After exiting, he hesitated for a while between continuing to stand up and playing a strange little game, or clicked on the Wisdom Fruit icon app.

Dear user【jsdhwdmaX】Welcome back to the title battle~ Your test score is full, click continue to enter the game lobby!

At three o'clock in the morning, the game was still very lively.

"I love learning": Has anyone come to the small room to PK math formulas? Wait for a good person.

"The goal is to be non-biased": Is the third multiple-choice question in the Math Olympiad Paper C a wrong question? Is it wrong or am I wrong?

"Strive for the top": ... You still can't sleep so late?

"Learn to learn to learn only in my life": sleep? What do you sleep in? Do you know how many people you will be surpassed by going to bed one minute earlier?

"For a better tomorrow": what my brother said is very true, life is too short, and time to study is precious. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to snooze.

"I love to learn": The thirst for knowledge almost made me unable to sleep. Once I fell asleep, it was like death. My brain stopped thinking. What could be scarier than stopping thinking.

"..."

Xie Yu suddenly felt like he was insane when he opened this game again.

Their conversation quickly shifted from sleeping to elsewhere.

"Learning, learning, learning is only in my life": Speaking of which, the first one on the list, can anyone squeeze him out? I think he's been upset for a long time, how can there be such a person who doesn't want Bilian?

As soon as this sentence came out, many people who were diving and brushing questions unexpectedly exploded.

"Top ten of the grade": Don't Bilian +1!

"English class representative": Don't Bilian +2! !

"Dream is to be the principal": Don't Bilian +3! ! !

...

The atmosphere was warm, and the masses' thoughts were unprecedentedly unified.

No. 1 on the list, don't force your face?

Xie Yu was a little curious.

The ranking list is in the upper right corner of the page, click it, it is a simple list, ranking first...

"Fuck." Xie Yu glanced at the two words on the side of the little golden trophy, and didn't know what to say except "Fuck" for a while.

First place: the title king.

Personalized signature display: Don't fight, victory belongs to me.

Just nine words, arrogant and polite.

In a game called Title King Fighting for Hegemony, give yourself the name Title King?

There are probably too many people asking the official customer service, whether this "question king" is a player or a machine, so the official also specially marked the first place: Don't ask, this is a player, this is really a player , do not believe you challenge to see orz.

Maybe it's because I can't sleep and I'm too irritable, or maybe I just want to find something to pass the time. Of course, I'm a little unhappy with this question in my heart.

Xie Yubai turned on the quiz mode in a boring way.

He thought, if it's just in this game and no one knows... it should be fine.

Everyone knew that Xie Yu had poor grades.

Despite his poor grades, he was always fighting, and the rebellious period was so aggressive that even Gu Xuelan had forgotten that three years ago, he was not like this at all.

In the first year of junior high, Xie Yu always went home to pick up trophies.

Gu Xuelan didn't know the weight of those trophies, and Xie Yu didn't like to brag.

One month before Gu Xuelan decided to marry Zhong Guofei, she moved out of the basement with Xie Yu. That day, Zhong Guofei called the moving company for help. He was over forty years old, and he showed the meticulousness of a businessman. The man stood in the dark and damp basement, and finally stopped in front of a wall. He bent down, and when he laughed, there were obvious crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. He asked, "Xiaoyu, are you getting all these awards?"

Who would have known that this question would be unstoppable as soon as he swiped it. The rare awakened desire for victory and defeat completely blocked Xie Yu's sleep pace.

Gu Xuelan called him when he ordered the meal, and the response he got every time was: Don't eat it, let it go.

"What are you doing in your room these two days?" Gu Xuelan stood at the door, holding back her anger.

Xie Yu was quite honest: "Me? Play games."

"You really have the face to say... The tutor I hired for you will be here tomorrow. You should quickly adjust your state, do you hear?"

"did not hear it."

"..."

Gu Xuelan was full of anger, and returned to the dining room, Zhong Guofei smiled and took a piece of sashimi for her: "Don't be angry, it's normal for a child to be playful. Try this, I'll have it shipped fresh from Hokkaido. Yes, the last time I saw you in a restaurant, I asked Lao Xu to pay attention."

After Zhong Guofei finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks, watched her eat, and raised his hand to help her straighten her hair: "If you get so angry, it won't be me who will be distressed at that time."

Gu Xuelan glanced at him with a smile, and then sighed: "I hope."

Xie Yu is really wrong recently.

Zhou Dalei has been able to see the news of the circle of friends posted by this eldest brother several times in the middle of the night.

For example, tonight at 4:23 in the morning.

XY: Someone, wake me up[/smile].

Zhou Dalei is just playing a certain game and the new season starts and needs to score points. Otherwise, he won't be idle at this time to brush his Moments.

The atmosphere in the Internet cafe was even warmer than during the day. A few buckets of instant noodles were thrown around the keyboard. Zhou Dalei blew out a smoke ring, pressed the butt of the cigarette into the ashtray, and then commented in the comments: Have you been drinking?

Xie Yu replied: I don't drink, fake alcohol is harmful.

Zhou Dalei asked again: Listening to your tone, brother, let me venture a guess. Could it be that you have fallen into the abyss of love?

Xie Yuhui: Love sucks.
