    Chapter 42

    When Fan Xing returned to the dormitory, everyone had washed up and lay on the bed to play with their mobile phones.

    Seeing him come in, several people, for some unknown reason, threw down their mobile phones, turned over and sat up.

    "Yo, our Snow White is finally back."

    "What kind of princess? How vulgar? Please call us the newly promoted flower of the medical school!"

    "I think you can call the school flower directly. You didn't watch the campus forum, you are all clamoring to vote for our little star during the school flower selection. I think the school flower will be in the bag of our medical school sooner or later! Little Xingxing, you really It's for the face of our medical school."

    The inexplicable depression in Fan Xing's heart was washed away like this, and he looked at the three roommates inexplicably, "What are you talking about? In the middle of the night, be careful to invite the dormitory aunt. Go to sleep."

    Then took a change of clothes and prepared to take a shower.

    Qin Xiuming jumped off the bed and grabbed him, "Don't run away, little Xingxing, you haven't been at school for the past two days, and you don't pay attention to the forum, so you don't know, just last Friday... Hey?"

    Qin Xiuming, who is keen on spreading gossip and explaining gossip, was on the rise, but suddenly stopped, staring straight at Fan Xing's mouth, "What's wrong with your mouth? It's so red, it seems to be a little swollen."

    Fan Xing didn't react at first, touched his lips subconsciously, and asked Qin Xiuming, "How come?"

    Then he suddenly remembered what had just happened at the school gate. He Qingmo kissed him very hard, and when he let go of him, he took a light bite on his mouth.

    Fan Xing's face was slightly red, and he quickly found a lame reason, "I remembered, the dinner was a bit spicy."

    On the opposite side, Qin Xiuming was stunned, staring at him without speaking.

    Fan Xing felt embarrassed at first, but being stared at by him like this made him feel even more uncomfortable. He smirked and said, "It's really spicy."

    "Cut! Who are you lying to? It's obviously someone who was kissed, or the kind that kisses against the wall. You really have a boyfriend, little Xingxing. Now you can't deny it. Let's be real, what? Human?" Yu Cheng deliberately got down from the bed, leaned over to take a look, and immediately came to a conclusion.

    Lu Zirui nodded in agreement, "It was definitely swollen by kisses! Judging from the degree of redness and swelling, either two people hugged each other for more than half an hour, or the other party was super possessive and wished we could give our little star a bite. Eat it. I think it's the latter. Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't see it, our little star's boyfriend is still a domineering president. Is he handsome?"

    Fan Xing absolutely did not expect that it was just this strange, and it was seen by others. Yu Cheng and Lu Zirui had seen it with their own eyes, and they wanted to reproduce the original scene of the situation at that time.

    Fan Xing was thin-skinned, not to mention that his relationship with He Qingmo couldn't be explained clearly in a few words, and he didn't want to say it, so he uttered a guilty conscience, "Where is it?" and then went to the bathroom.

    This appearance is simply a guilty conscience and a self-proclaimed thief. Yu Cheng and Lu Zirui tacitly tacitly got together to discuss who Fan Xing's boyfriend is.

    As a result, Qin Xiuming, who has always loved gossip, suddenly roared like he had eaten a gun: "Can you guys stop talking nonsense? Little Xingxing said that he has no boyfriend!"

    Yu Cheng and Lu Zirui were yelled at inexplicably, Lu Zirui was good-natured, but nothing, Yu Cheng didn't agree, reacted and immediately turned back, "Are you fucking blind? Haven't you ever eaten pork or seen a pig run? Just Fan Xing Like that, do you believe it when you say it's spicy? You didn't insist that he had a boyfriend a few days ago, and gossip so hard, how can you be sure now, and you're deceiving yourself and not wanting to face it? Could it be some ulterior motive?"

    Qin Xiuming's face turned pale, he was stunned before he spoke, and his voice was very low, "What nonsense are you talking about?" After speaking, he stopped talking, and went to bed and pulled the quilt to cover his head.

    The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became a little mysterious, Yu Cheng looked at Lu Zirui, Lu Zirui looked at him, and then both of them looked at Qin Xiuming.

    This is fucking embarrassing.

    Yu Cheng was just angry, and his words were a bit ugly for a while, but Qin Xiuming's reaction seemed to have been misunderstood.

    This is too unscientific, right?

    When the gossip about Fan Xing's boyfriend happened last week, Qin Xiuming was more energetic than anyone else. How come it has only been a few days when the brotherhood suddenly turned into love?

    How did it change?

    Is it too fast?

    Yu Cheng felt like he was getting old. Although he had a bad temper and would hate anyone when he was angry, he definitely didn't have the habit of deliberately poking people's sore spots, especially his brothers in the same dormitory.

    But obviously, he just did it.

    Moreover, given Qin Xiuming's current state, it would be useless for him to apologize, so he simply went to bed, and we will talk about it tomorrow.

    Lu Zirui looked at the two of them, then looked at the closed bathroom door, turned around and climbed into the bed.

    The dormitory was quiet again, but for some reason, always felt a trace of embarrassment.

    Of course, this awkward atmosphere didn't affect Fan Xing at all. At this moment, he was staring at his swollen lips in the mirror.

    It was really red and swollen, he thought, and when he touched it lightly, the image of He Qingmo pressing down appeared in his mind, and his heart began to beat wildly.

    He quickly washed his face with cold water to prevent himself from thinking wildly.

    He felt really weird tonight, and all he could think about was the man.

    When he calmed down and came out of the bathroom, everyone else in the dormitory was already lying down. He lightly turned off the lights and went to bed, but tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep. Then he found that he was the only one who couldn't sleep. Qin on the opposite bed. Xiuming also tossed and turned.

    He was a little strange, because Qin Xiuming was the best sleeper in their dormitory. He often watched dramas with his mobile phone, and watched as the mobile phone fell to the ground. He was already asleep, and after falling asleep, he was unmoved. It was rare to see him turning off the lights. not asleep.

    But there was no movement on the bed between Yu Cheng and Lu Zirui, so he couldn't ask aloud, so he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Qin Xiuming, "What's the matter? Can't sleep?"

    Then he saw that the screen of the mobile phone on the opposite bed was on. Qin Xiuming picked up the mobile phone and glanced at it, then put the mobile phone aside, turned his back to Fan Xing's side, and didn't move for a while.

    Fan Xing was a little puzzled, but he didn't care too much. He held the mobile phone to browse the campus forum.

    When they came back, Qin Xiuming and the others said everything, as if they said that there was something related to him on the campus forum.

    As a result, when opened the forum, found that there were actually countless posts about him, and a few of them were very popular, and they were always on the homepage. Stills of the five-night drama performance.

    Originally, Fan Xing's dress was so beautiful, and there were experts who helped to retouch the pictures. In the photos that were uploaded, Fan Xing played Snow White as if she really came out of a fairy tale.

    This kind of appearance will naturally attract the pursuit of countless boys.

    The point is, just on Friday night, a revealing post about "The new goddess is actually a boy" appeared on the forum. The post included all kinds of photos of Fan Xing, all of which were his usual appearance.

    The goddess has become the same as herself, and she is simply disillusioned, right? Boys will be disappointed.

    There was no result, and there were still a large group of people clamoring to choose him as the school flower.

    Then, the attitude of the girls who were still a little sour changed instantly. One by one, there was a lot of maternal love. The messages were "Cubs are so cute, so soft and cute, I really want to pinch", "My cubs are the most beautiful, and the school flowers are not my cubs. The cub is none other than that, I do not accept the refutation"...

    ? ? ?

    Fan Xing was stunned after reading it, what happened? He just acted in a stage play, how did he suddenly become a celebrity in the school? Why are you still running for school? Don't you know he's a boy?

    Are the brain circuits of college students so strange now?

    Fan Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When he was about to quit and go to sleep, he suddenly discovered He Qingmo's name.

    He clicked in subconsciously, and it was actually a picture of He Qingmo helping him buy magnolia cakes at the food street on Friday night.

    The post didn't say anything, it just said that he bumped into He Qingmo when he went to the food street to eat at night. He was surprised that the other party would haunt that kind of place, and he patiently stood in front of the roadside stall waiting. impressions, followed by a series of photos.

    The following messages are basically nympho, lamenting why he is so handsome, and also mixed with these unpleasant words, such as playboy, scumbag, stallion and so on.

    Fan Xing's eyes were always fixed on those photos.

    The person who posted the post should have been very close to He Qingmo at the time, so the photos were all close-ups.

    He Qingmo was originally impeccable, and close-up shots were just like a carefully edited poster.

    Fan Xing stared at the face he had just seen, and when he regained his senses, he realized that he had saved all those photos in the album, and was about to set one of them as a screen saver.

    After realizing what he had done, Fan Xing subconsciously rolled over and buried his face on the pillow. He felt that he was crazy, how could he do some inexplicable things.

    The night before, Fan Xing struggled like this until the second half of the night, and then he fell asleep in a daze. When he got up and ran in the morning, he was groggy. When he went to the cafeteria for breakfast after running, he realized later that he found that Qin Xiuming was not with them, not only that , It seems that he has never seen Qin Xiuming when he wakes up early.

    "Where's Qin Xiuming? I haven't seen him in the morning." Fan Xing asked Yu Cheng and Lu Zirui.

    The two looked at each other and shook their heads tacitly, saying they didn't know.

    Fan Xing didn't ask any further questions. After all, he's already such an adult, so who hasn't had any private affairs yet.

    What's more, he was in trouble on his own side. He didn't take the posts he read on the forum last night. He went out this morning and found out that he seemed to be really famous.

    During the morning jog, some classmates he didn't know ran to him on purpose and made various excuses to talk to him, but it was even more exaggerated when he got to the cafeteria. Someone bought breakfast for him and sent it to him without giving him a chance to refuse, leaving him behind. just left.

    Fan Xing had a headache, "This, this... what's the situation?"

    Yu Cheng and Lu Zirui were quite happy, it would be nice not to have to wait in line to buy breakfast, they took Fan Xing and sat down, and said comfortably: "Look, it's all delivered, it's a waste if we don't eat it, it's a shame to waste food, see you later. Now, just pay them back. Come and eat while it's hot."

    But Fan Xing couldn't eat it. This was inexplicable. He didn't even know who the other party was. How could he just accept it?

    However, what Yu Cheng and the others said were also right. If he didn't eat it, he would be thrown out, so he watched Yu Cheng and Lu Zirui eat, and planned to go back and eat something to bolster his stomach.

    But this is just the beginning. From this moment, when he walks there, it seems that people are paying attention to him, and some people come directly to ask for contact information. He went to the bathroom between classes, and when he came back, there were more bottles of drinks on the table and a bottle of drinks was pressed on the table. A note"Cub cub seems to have dark circles under his eyes, did you not sleep last night? You should pay more attention to rest. Mama loves you!"

    Fan Xing stood on the seat with the note, looked around in the classroom, and heard Yu Cheng say: "Don't look for it, it's not here, just put it down and leave. And it's not one, it's a group."

    Fan Xing: "..."

    Fan Xing passed the whole day like this, finally returned to the dormitory, and felt that he could finally relax. As a result, the mobile phone started ringing non-stop, and it was actually called by various clubs to invite him to join, what drama club, two-dimensional animation club , the photography interest club, and even the e-sports club, track and field club, and basketball club.

    Fan Xing's patience was finally exhausted when he received the tenth call. After the call was made, he took the initiative to take the call without waiting for the other party to speak: "I'm sorry, I have no plans to join the club at the moment, so..."

    "Fan Xing? I'm Gu Yongchang."

    Before Fan Xing finished speaking, a polite and gentle voice came from the other end.

    Fan Xing was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and politely responded, "Hello, Uncle Gu, I'm Fan Xing."

    "What's the matter? It sounds like you have encountered some trouble, do you want to help?" Gu Yongchang asked with a smile.

    "Nothing, do you have something to do with me?" Fan Xing asked.

    Fan Xing and Fan Meixi felt uncomfortable getting along, let alone Gu Yongchang? It's just that someone called, and he answered it unclearly, so it was hard to hang up.

    "It doesn't matter, I heard from your mother that you are studying in Qingda University, and I happen to be nearby, thinking that after you come back, I have not officially met you as an elder, so I want to take this opportunity to treat you to a meal. Are you free?" Gu Yongchang asked.

    Fan Xing had met Gu Yongchang. On the first day he returned to China, after the Civil Affairs Bureau and He Qingmo obtained the certificate, Fan Meixi took him to Gu's house and met many people from the Gu family.

    Gu Yongchang was also there at the time, but he kept calling. When Fan Meixi brought Fan Xing over, the other party just glanced at him, nodded, and continued talking on the phone.

    That was the only time they met, and they never saw each other again.

    However, from Fan Xing's point of view, there was no difference between the two of them, whether they knew each other or not, so Gu Yongchang suddenly invited him to dinner, and he probably knew what was going on. Quite helpless.

    "Thank you Uncle Gu, but I've already eaten it, and I've invited my classmates to the library together."

    Over there, he smiled, "That's really unfortunate, let's another day. Uncle won't bother you anymore." Gu Yongchang hung up the phone after speaking, and didn't say anything extra, as if he just happened to pass by and called Fan Xing for dinner. Same.

    It made Fan Xing feel like a villain.

    However, when he walked out of the teaching building after school the next day and saw Gu Yongchang waiting outside, he realized that he was naive.

    At that moment, he suddenly felt that this person was quite like a family to his mother.

    He couldn't avoid him, so he had to be invited. He originally planned to take Gu Yongchang to the store he and Fan Meixi went to last time, but Gu Yongchang seemed to be very familiar with the vicinity of Qingda University, so he took him on foot for a while and entered a house outside. And humble shop.

    Fan Xing paid attention to the decoration style and menu, and found that it was a very authentic Jiangnan restaurant, and what Gu Yongchang ordered were also local characteristics.

    When the food came to the table, Fan Xing had the illusion that he was still in Jiangnan and didn't come back.

    "I know you are from Jiangnan. This restaurant is the most authentic Jiangnan cuisine near Qingda University. Try it?"

    Gu Yongchang is only in his early 40s, and he is well maintained. He looks like he is not in his 40s. He is well-mannered, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and speaks softly. Qing University's teacher, for no reason, would have a good impression of him.

    However, Fan Xing knew him, so he didn't like him very much. He just politely picked up his chopsticks and took a sip. He went straight to the topic, "What the hell is Uncle Gu looking for me?"

    Gu Yongchang was lowering his head and peeling the shrimp seriously, but without raising his head, he smiled and said, "Why do you have so much heart? Eat well." After speaking, he put the peeled shrimp into Fan Xing's bowl.

    Fan Xing looked down at the shrimp, raised his head and looked at each other in surprise, but Gu Yongchang had a natural look on his face, "Eat more if you like." He started peeling again.

    Fan Xing was at a loss, when did he like to eat shrimp? Even if he likes it, Gu Yongchang doesn't need to peel the shrimp shell for him.

    The key is that Gu Yongchang has a very determined look, and believes that he likes to eat shrimp, so what is going on?

    "Who did Uncle Gu hear that I like to eat shrimp?" Fan Xing asked.

    Gu Yongchang, who was keen on peeling shrimp shells, raised his head, "Don't you like it? I remember you..." He suddenly paused and laughed, "I remember what your mother said, am I wrong? Sorry."

    Fan Xing knew that he changed his words halfway through, but just as he was about to ask, the other party had already changed the subject and asked him how he was doing at school, whether he was comfortable in all aspects after returning to the country, whether he had made new friends, etc. The tone is as if the kind elder cares about the younger generation, but he never mentions what is going on with Fan Xing.

    It wasn't until Fan Xing got up impatiently and was about to leave, that he finally got to the point.

    "Fan Xing, uncle is looking for you today mainly to apologize to you in person. I have heard what you said to your mother last time. I think you did the right thing. After all, you helped us. Family, we shouldn't ask for anything else. However, you and your mother are mother and son, I don't want you to be like this. I know you feel wronged, and feel that your mother prefers Mingyu and ignores you. "

    Gu Yongchang said with a sigh and said, "Actually, you can't blame your mother, blame me. I didn't let her interact with you at the beginning. At that time, my uncle was young and had a good face, and he didn't want others to know that he married a divorcee. A woman who is married and has children, so she is not allowed to make phone calls abroad, and she is not allowed to go abroad to see you. You also know that love comes from a relationship. Even if you are a mother and child, if you haven’t had much contact with each other for so many years, you will naturally become estranged. And she has pinned all her feelings for you on Mingyu over the years, so she has a special preference for Mingyu. But you have to know that these are all caused by me, don't put all these faults on her She cares about you. That night you told her not to meet again, she went back and cried all night, saying that she ruined your mother-son relationship. "

    Fan Xing didn't want to know whether these words were true or not. He was just a little surprised. He originally thought that Gu Yongchang was here to let him have a good word with He Qingmo, but he didn't expect to persuade him to reconcile with Fan Meixi.

    But Fan Xing knew in his heart that, in the final analysis, their ultimate goal was the same.

    He smiled softly, his voice was not loud, "As you said, the relationship has come to an end, my mother and I have never been together for more than half a day, so there is no relationship between us. If mother is really sad, please ask Uncle Gu to help me convey this sentence to her. It's getting late, I'll go first, goodbye." After speaking, Fan Xing got up and left.

    Gu Yongchang obviously didn't expect to be so ruthless, so he stopped when he was stunned, "Fan Xing, your mother is sick, she has been lying in the hospital for two days, go and see her, just take a look."

    Fan Xing couldn't help but stop and turned around, "How could she..."

    Before he finished speaking, he swallowed it back by himself, and changed his words: "Let her take care of herself, the doctor is better than me." This time, he left without looking back.

    Gu Yongchang kept staring at the direction he was leaving. He lowered his head and took off his glasses for a while. He took out a tissue and wiped it slowly. After wiping it up and putting it back on, he called the waiter to pay the bill and left, as if it was not because of Fan Xing's attitude. be affected in the slightest.

    On the other side, Fan Xing walked all the way to the school after leaving the restaurant, but felt a little uncomfortable because of Gu Yongchang's appearance.

    He wasn't worried about Fan Meixi, although when he heard that Fan Meixi was ill, he subconsciously wanted to ask clearly, but then he calmed down. Fan Meixi couldn't be in trouble, it was real, how could Gu Yongchang talk to him so much nonsense?

    To put it bluntly, he just wanted to trick him into meeting with Fan Meixi.

    He's not comfortable, he's not comfortable here, why does his mother do anything to achieve her goals?

    At this moment, his phone rang, and it was He Qingmo who called.

    He was a little surprised, and immediately connected, "Why is my brother calling now, in the middle of the night on your side?"

    "Well, I've been busy so far, so tired." The man's lazy voice came over, and he couldn't hide his tiredness.

    "Then go and rest." Fan Xing was a little worried.

    "Yeah." The man replied softly, but didn't hang up.

    "Why didn't brother hang up?" Fan Xing asked.

    The boy said angrily, "If you can't sleep, tell your husband a bedtime story."

    "Ah? What are you talking about? I'm not very good at it." Fan Xing was a little embarrassed, he really didn't expect He Qingmo to make such a strange request.

    "It's okay to sing a song." But He Qingmo couldn't pull ten cows back even if he became self-willed.
