Chapter 90

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

Immediately afterwards, the blood all over the body congealed little by little.

His mobile phone is locked with a password, and the text messages sent by Zhou Dalei are crowded together and occupy more than half of the lock screen interface. Although not all of them are displayed, the general meaning of several text messages can still be seen when they are gathered together.

...

"Da Lei," Xie Yu slowly curled his fingers into a fist, subconsciously choosing to keep this matter a secret, "He's joking, it's nothing like that."

Gu Xuelan didn't sleep all night, sitting from midnight to noon. In fact, she doesn't know how long the time has passed. It seems to be a long time, but it is not that long. She only sees that the sky outside is gradually brightening.

As soon as Xie Yu finished speaking, he was about to bite the bullet and add "Don't think too much" when Gu Xuelan asked again, "What's going on."

When she spoke, her throat was dry, and her aura was different from the first question, showing an unnatural silence after the violent ups and downs.

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

Seeing her reaction, Xie Yu guessed that Zhou Dalei probably didn't want to sell him directly.

I was so confused just now that I forgot to consider this layer. According to Zhou Dalei's temperament, if he really caught up to him and asked, he would panic immediately and would not be able to hide things at all.

In the face of Ms. Gu's questioning, Xie Yu was silent for a while and did not answer.

Zhou Dalei really didn't think about these few text messages of his own.

Last night, he finished the post in a big way, and was about to throw down his phone to sleep when Aunt Lan was so startled that he almost rolled up the bed and fell off the bed.

Gu Xuelan didn't ask a few questions, he said all the things that should be said and should not be said.

"It wasn't long before I found out about it. Boss Xie didn't let me talk about it, but I was uncomfortable," Zhou Dalei said while opening the window to breathe, "...Aunt Lan, he just wants you to live in Zhong's house. Better yet, fewer people force those bad things."

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

After Gu Xuelan got married, the reorganized family seemed particularly embarrassing. Mrs. Zhong's position was not easy to sit in, not to mention that there was still a Zhong Jie in the family who would not be comfortable without causing trouble.

Xie Yu was usually silent, and looked like "too lazy to take care of you".

Gu Xuelan always thought that he was still young, so she could bear all these pressures. She didn't expect what the people around her said or looked at... It turned out that he could see it clearly.

Gu Xuelan recalled this, her hands trembled uncontrollably, she wanted to raise her hand to pull up the coat on her shoulders, but found that she couldn't exert any strength at all.

The mind was blank for a moment, and a strong sense of loss of strength and weightlessness swept over.

Her last remaining impression was that she heard Xie Yu shouting "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 the medicine box, and said as he walked: "It's still the same problem, I told you to pay more attention, why don't you be careful. Usually pay more attention to rest, don't work hard... Take care of yourself."

Xie Yu was still in a daze.

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

When Ah Fang said this, he sighed: "No matter what happens, talk about it if you have something to say."

Xie Yu sat beside Ms. Gu's bed, and the voices downstairs gradually became distant. There is no other thought in my mind, I just feel 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, and when she saw that she was awake, she quickly picked up a few good words: "Second Young Master is cooking soup for you in the kitchen. I was so worried that he wouldn't go downstairs to eat, if anything happened, he wouldn't go there. To put it well...a very sensible child."

Xie Yu was busy in the kitchen for a while.

Zhou Dalei just called when he was cutting the ingredients, and the moment the call was connected, Zhou Dalei clearly heard a "bang" on the opposite side.

Knife up and down.

The knife slashed on the cutting board with a muffled sound.

Zhou Dalei swallowed: "...Xie, thank boss?"

Xie Yu didn't say anything, and slashed again.

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

"okay."

Xie Yu put down the knife. Seeing that the time was almost up, the heat came up and poured the ingredients that were cut just now into the pot: "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Zhou Dalei thought that according to Xie Yu's bad temper, he would be able to fight for two more days to live at most, but he didn't expect to be acquitted directly.

Zhou Dalei got a bargain, and still felt uncomfortable: "Ah? Are you sure you won't settle accounts with me?"

"It's a bullshit," Xie Yu said. "It's my own problem... You just want me to settle the bill with you. Are you sick?"

He's not so indiscriminate yet.

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

"How is Aunt Lan now," Zhou Dalei asked, "Is it okay, you have to be careful about your body."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Yu looked at the heat that kept rolling up from the pot. For some reason, the words He Chao had said to him in the classroom suddenly came up in his mind, 'Treat her in your own way, not necessarily she wants'.

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

After typing a lot of words, finally deleted them all, leaving only one word.

-elder brother.

This pot of soup simmered for most of the day.

When Xie Yu brought the soup upstairs, Gu Xuelan was already leaning on the pillow and sat on the bed for a while.

Rather than being angry with Xie Yu, she was more angry with herself.

In recent years, her communication with Xie Yu has become less and less.

She can feel that this child is learning to be independent little by little, and she doesn't need her help in many things, and... is getting farther and farther away from her.

"Mom." Xie Yu wanted to say 'I'm sorry' but these three words were just like 'I love you', but it was more difficult to say to those who were closer.

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

She took the bowl of soup and drank it silently.

"I hope you have a good life too," Gu Xuelan looked down at the few red dates in the bowl after taking a few sips, the corners of her eyes were quietly wet, and whispered, "As long as you have a good life."

"When I was in Heishui Street, I thought all day long, I wanted to give you a better living environment, not to mention a good life, at least not worry about food and clothing."

"I didn't think about..."

When Gu Xuelan said this, she paused: "If that's the case, I'd rather not be Mrs. Zhong."

Xie Yu quietly raised his head, his eyes were obviously red.

He has a tough temper since he was a child. No matter what happens, he never sheds tears. Now his eyes are uncontrollably wet, he feels uncomfortable, and a little embarrassed. :"mom."

Gu Xuelan looked up at him.

Xie Yu asked again, "Do you like Tsinghua University or Peking University?"

Gu Xuelan recalled the sentence Xie Yu used to choke her, 'Look at Tsinghua University or Peking University', she put the bowl on the side, raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, and was amused by him: "... , as long as you like it, any school will do."

He Chao would occasionally go to the library for a while during the holidays, set his mobile phone to silent mode, and when he closed the book and checked the time on his mobile phone, he saw the phrase "brother" sent by Xie Yu.

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

Then he heard Xie Yu say, "Brother, who will be first in the next test?"

He Chao was about to ask "the last one"?

Xie Yu added, "It's a positive number."

He Chao walked out from the side door, and when he heard these three words, he stopped again. He knew what it meant for a child to want to be first in the test, and he had pretended for so long. Now that he wanted to be the first in the test, there was only one type left. possible.

It was already dark outside, He Zhao leaned against the wall and asked, "Are you serious?"

Xie Yu was very courageous, sitting on the balcony guardrail to blow air, with his hands on the edge of the guardrail and his feet hanging in the air, looking down from the second floor, he could only see a few rows of street lamps not far away.

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

A month's vacation is not too long, and it passed in the blink of an eye.

During the Chinese New Year, there was another snowfall in City A, and a thick layer of snow piled up on the ground.

The screen in the class is full of 'Happy New Year'.

In addition to blessing each other, the most active activity in the class is to grab red envelopes.

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

[Xu Qingqing]: Brother Yu, we'll pull you in when we're done.

[Xu Qingqing]: New Year's Eve, with your luck, I don't think it's suitable for us to grab red envelopes in a group, please let us live.

[Wanda]: Don't question our friendship! we are still friends!

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

[Luo Wenqiang]: Rat, your words are so incisive.

He Chao was lucky that night, and he grabbed the biggest share of the hundreds that Lao Tang sent in the class.

[Liu Cunhao]: King of luck! Fifty dollars! Great, bro!

[Luo Wenqiang]: Why am I only fifty cents? This is unscientific... Do you have to hurt me, a slum boy so much?

[Wanda]: Hahahahaha fifty cents, I am five yuan, and suddenly I think five yuan is pretty good too. Very satisfied.

...

Gu Xuelan saw off the last guest, relieved, and sat down beside Xie Yu. She didn't eat anything at the dinner table just now, and complained while eating desserts: "I didn't see it as a Spring Festival Gala. I read half of the sketch just now, what did you talk about later? How is that person?"

How did Xie Yu know, he didn't look carefully at all: "Are there any sketches?"

Gu Xuelan: "..."

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

The phone vibrated twice, he secretly lowered his head and glanced at it, it was a red envelope sent to him by He Chao.

Xu Qingqing and the others took every precaution, and even resorted to the wicked trick of kicking people. Never expected that the biggest red envelope would still fall into Xie Yu's hands.

[He Chao]: I will give you everything I grab.

Fireworks were being set off outside the window.

Accompanied by a few loud noises, the sky was full of trivial and colorful starlight, which flashed across the night sky.
