Chapter 5: Chapter 5
Xie Yu's sleep quality has never been very good. Not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by the sound of things being smashed downstairs.
The porcelain fell to the ground and fell into pieces, harsh and crisp.
Accompanied by the sound of smashing things and familiar curses, the man's tone contained the arrogance of having held a high position for many years and soaked in his bones: "This is my home, you all get out of here - pack it up and get out! Take it!" Get rid of your dirty hands. Whoever allows you to touch me is worthy of you—"
Xie Yu raised his hand to pull off the blindfold but did not open his eyes. There was a dull pain in his temples.
"Young Master, I made some sobering soup. You drink some." It was Afang's voice, which was submissive, "You drank too much..."
I don't know what was smashed again, making a dull sound, and then the man The scolding became more and more sharp: "I told you to get out, all of you, you low-class people, you can't even understand people's words, right?"
"Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot this. Where else can I talk at home? Some people not named Zhong really think they are something."
"..."
Xie Yu tossed and turned on the bed, and finally sat up irritably and cursed: "Fuck. "
Three years. "
This farce has been going on for three years.
Three years ago, Gu Xuelan married Zhong Guofei, a well-known entrepreneur in City A. News spread all over the city. Not only Gu Xuelan, but also Xie Yu was also subject to various malicious speculations.
The rumors are true.
Those people who watched the excitement without taking it too seriously wrote countless versions of his life without permission, the most eye-catching of which was the mistress and illegitimate child.
If Xie Yu hadn't personally experienced so many years of hiding from debts, missing meals, and almost not being able to pay his tuition fees for more than half a year, he would almost believe those endless clumsy stories.
As for Zhong Jie, Zhong Guofei's biological son, no matter which version of the mother and son's story is, he can't accept it, and he doesn't care what the facts are.
All he knew was that after losing his mother, someone was robbing him of everything he had, including the most important thing.
inheritance rights.
After a long time, it finally became quiet downstairs, and I think I finally helped Young Master Zhong back to his room. Xie Yu leaned on the bed and clearly heard the sound of them closing the door to Zhong Jie's room, as well as the gentle sighs as they passed by his door, and then the footsteps walking downstairs.
Xie Yu opened his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
He suddenly felt thirsty for no reason.
It was as if there was a ball of fire burning down his internal organs all the way to his throat.
Gu Xuelan was sitting on the sofa in the living room with lonely eyes, and her white gauze nightgown hung down to the ground. When she saw Xie Yu coming down, she just raised her head slightly, as if she was tired: "Why are you coming down? Did I disturb you?"
Xie Yu guessed that she would be here and wanted to say, 'I've told you so many times, it's none of your business if he wants to go crazy and let him send it by himself', but seeing her like this, he swallowed back the words, He just said three words lukewarmly: "Are you happy?"
Gu Xuelan: "...in two days, it will be the anniversary of his mother's death."
Xie Yu: "So you just stood like this and let him scold you for an hour."
Gu Xuelan said nothing.
There was no emotion in Xie Yu's tone, but the words he spoke were more and more painful: "Fuck, did you kill him? Did you snatch his father away? - If he likes scolding so much, let him scold you. It's better for you. Come on, it's quite flattering."
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, he has no idea.
"..."
Xie Yu poured two glasses of milk from the kitchen, handed one to Gu Xuelan, and said as calmly as possible: "Mom, go up and have a rest after drinking. It's late." "
I'll take this tonight. " If you don't hear it, next time you stand and let him scold you, I will beat him until he can't speak."
"I will do what I say,"
Gu Xuelan took the water glass.
The boy standing in front of her had grown so tall without knowing it, and Gu Xuelan was a little dazed.
The young man's eyebrows followed hers. This kind of appearance should have seemed feminine, but a certain sharp indifference and sharpness broke through the surface at some point, making him seem inaccessible, and even made her, a mother, feel strangeness.
Her eyes finally fell on Xie Yu's hair that was raised because of sleeping, and she found that the hair was still as thin and soft as when he was a child.
She didn't know what to say for a moment. When she came to her senses, Xie Yu had already turned around and went upstairs.
Xie Yu's sleep quality was so poor that even milk had no effect at all. After being woken up from 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 wondered what time it was.
Originally I just wanted to check the time, but after touching my phone, I completely lost my sleepiness.
[Barbecue Stall Prince·Lei]: Fuck you, I won't play anymore! [/Picture]
[Barbecue Stall Prince·Lei]: I really don't want to play anymore this time! [/Picture]
[Barbecue Stall Prince·Lei]: The last time! If I keep playing, I will be a pig! [/Picture]
Two hours ago, Zhou Dalei sent three screenshots in a row. Without exception, they all said: The score is too low and you are not qualified to enter the game lobby. Please answer the questions carefully.
Xie Yu typed out a line of reply: Do you think God will be moved by the persistence of zero-point professionals?
Zhou Dalei probably died early in his sleep. Xie Yu had no intention of waiting for his reply. After logging out, he hesitated for a while between continuing to lift the corpse or playing a strange mini-game before clicking on the wisdom fruit icon app.
Dear user [jsdhwdmaX] Welcome back to the Question King Competition ~ Your test score is full score, click to continue and enter the game lobby!
At three o'clock in the morning, this game is still very lively.
"I love learning": Has anyone come to the small room to PK mathematical formulas? Waiting for a destined person.
"The goal is not to be partial to subjects": Is the third multiple-choice question in Paper C of the Olympiad a wrong question? Is it wrong or am I wrong?
"Strive for the Top": ...You're still not sleeping at this late hour?
"Learning, learning, learning is all I have in my life": sleep? What to sleep on? Do you know how many people will surpass you if you go to bed early for one minute?
"For a better tomorrow": What Brother Xuexue said is very true. Life is short and the time to study is precious. If you snooze, it will be a waste of this good time.
"I love learning": The desire for knowledge almost keeps me from falling asleep. Once I fall asleep, it's like dying. My brain stops thinking. What's more terrifying than stopping thinking.
"..."
Xie Yu suddenly felt that he looked like a lunatic when he opened the game again.
Their conversation quickly moved from sleep to other topics.
"Learn, learn, learn is all I have in my life": Speaking of which, who is number one on the list, can anyone knock him down? I've seen him unhappy for a long time. How could there be someone who doesn't want Bilian so much?
As soon as this sentence came out, there were unexpectedly many people who dived to answer questions.
"Top ten in grade": Don't give Bilian +1!
"English class representative": No Bilian +2! !
"My dream is to be a principal": Don't give Bilian +3! ! !
...
The atmosphere was warm and the masses were unified in their thinking as never before.
Number one in the rankings, don't show off?
Xie Yu was unusually curious.
The ranking list is in the upper right corner of the page. Click on it. It is a simple list. The one ranked first...
"Fuck." Xie Yu glanced at the two words next to the small golden trophy. Except for 'I Shit, I didn't know what to say for a moment.
First place: Question King.
Personalized signature display: No need to fight, victory belongs to me.
Just nine words, arrogant yet polite.
In a game called Title King Competition, do you name yourself Title King?
There were probably too many people asking the official customer service whether the person named "Question King" was a player or a machine, which led the official to specially mark the first place: Don't ask, this is a player, this is really a player. , if you don't believe me, challenge orz.
Maybe it's because I can't sleep and I'm too irritable, or maybe I just want to find something to kill time. Of course, deep down, I feel a little unhappy with this question.
Xie Yu was bored and turned on the question solving mode.
He thought, if it was just in this game and no one knew... it should be fine.
Everyone knew that Xie Yu had poor grades.
Not only his grades were bad, but he was always getting into fights. His rebellious phase came with such force that even Gu Xuelan had forgotten that three years ago, he was not like this at all.
In the first year of junior high school, Xie Yu always went home to get trophies.
Gu Xuelan didn't know the weight of those trophies, and Xie Yu didn't like to brag. He always said lightly: "It's a small competition, not many people participate."
One month before Gu Xuelan decided to marry Zhong Guofei, she moved out of the basement with Xie Yu. That day Zhong Guofei called a moving company for help. He was already over forty years old, and he exuded the meticulousness of a businessman. He was impeccable in his work, but also kind and decent. The man stood in the dark and damp basement, and finally stopped in front of a wall. He bent down, and there were obvious crow's feet at the corners of his eyes when he smiled. He asked: "Xiao Yu, did you win all these awards?"
Who knew this ? As soon as he finished the questions, he couldn't stop. The desire to win and lose, which was rarely awakened, completely blocked Xie Yu from sleeping. He stayed up and worked on the questions for several nights, and he was able to squeeze into the top three of the rankings.
Gu Xuelan called him when the meal was served, but the response she received every time was: Don't eat it yet, just leave it there.
"What have you been doing in your room these two days?" Gu Xuelan stood at the door, trying not to get angry.
Xie Yu was quite honest: "Me? Playing games."
"You really have the nerve to say... The tutor I hired for you will be here tomorrow. You need to adjust yourself quickly, do you hear me?"
"I didn't hear you."
" ..."
Gu Xuelan was so angry that she returned to the dining room. Zhong Guofei smiled and gave her a piece of sashimi: "Don't be angry. The child is still young and it's normal to be playful. You can try this. I'll send someone from Hokkaido. It's freshly flown in. I saw you liked it last time in the restaurant, so I asked Lao Xu to pay attention."
After Zhong Guofei finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks and watched her eat. He raised his hand to help her fix her hair: "If you are so angry, you are so angry. , then it won't be me who feels bad."
Gu Xuelan glanced at him with a smile, then sighed: "I hope something
is wrong with Xie Yu recently.
Several times in the middle of the night, Zhou Dalei could see the eldest brother's posts on Moments. The content was quite psychedelic, and he seemed to be out of his mind.
For example, this one tonight at 4:23 in the morning.
XY: Someone come and wake me up[/smile].
Zhou Dalei happened to be playing a certain game and needed to score points when the new season started. Otherwise, he wouldn't be free to check Moments at this time.
The atmosphere in the Internet cafe was even more lively than during the day. There were several buckets of instant noodles lying around the keyboard. Zhou Dalei blew out a smoke ring, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and then commented in the comments: Have you been drinking?
Xie Yu replied: I don't drink, fake alcohol can harm people.
Zhou Dalei asked again: Listening to your tone, brother, let me make a bold guess. Could it be that you have fallen into the abyss of love?
Xie Yu replied: Love is bullshit.
