hypocritically

Chapter 3

After eating a bowl of wontons, Xu Keqin directly turned off the air conditioner, took his own change of clothes, and went to the toilet to take a shower. This year, he is a sophomore in high school, and there is still one year left before he can end his boring high school life.

His mother had told him a long time ago that when he was an adult, it was best for them not to live together anymore. His mother also had a young boyfriend, and she didn't want Xu Keqin's existence to hinder his emotional life.

As for Xu Keqin's father, his father felt that he owed him, and he was never stingy with money, and even thought out a way out for Xu Keqin in the future. As long as Xu Keqin is willing, he can study abroad at any time.

Xu Keqin, who has no burden, has good grades in school. He has also considered what major he will study in the future, which city he will go to, and whether he should go abroad. His life will probably only start again when he becomes an adult.

For a bicycle, Guo Xiao went back and forth under the scorching sun. The old man who repaired the car lost his temper when he saw him sweating profusely.

Finally finished what Xu Keqin told him, Guo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. After he took his attention away from the bicycle, the dry and astringent feeling in his throat was particularly obvious. He was extremely thirsty, but he had a dime in his pocket No, I couldn't go back home, so I could only stand at the door of Xu Keqin's house, looking inside eagerly.

The wooden door inside was still open, but through the iron door, the intensity of the air-conditioning had weakened a lot, and there was no rumbling sound from the air-conditioner outside. Guo Xiao guessed that Xu Keqin must have turned off the air-conditioner.

Turning it off is better than basking in the sun. Guo Xiao was still wishful thinking and asked Xu Keqin for a glass of water. He looked towards the wall, but Xu Keqin was not on the sofa. He looked in the direction of the room. It was quiet, as if there was no one there. , but the toilet light was on.

Suddenly, the door of the toilet rang, and then the door opened from the inside, and the light went out, and a person walked out from the black and white water vapor, it was Xu Keqin.

Xu Keqin was pulling on his slippers and wearing milky white shorts and short sleeves. His whole body was wet and steaming.

No matter how hot the day was, Xu Keqin was used to wearing long trousers when he went out. His skin that couldn't see the light was ridiculously fair, and after taking a hot bath, it was still a little rosy.

Because of his fair skin and extraordinarily beautiful appearance, he always gives people the visual illusion that he is a stranger or an unfamiliar person. The first impression of Xu Keqin is that he is very bookish and looks quite weak.

But Guo Xiao knew that Xu Keqin would run alone in the morning and play ball alone, his muscles were very solid, and his fists were not light.

"What are you doing?" Xu Keqin wiped his hair with a towel. He just took a shower, and his tone was as aggressive as ever, but his temper was not so strong.

Guo Xiao licked his lips and hesitated, he didn't dare to make a request to Xu Keqin, "I'll take the bicycle to be repaired..."

The water on Xu Keqin's body was not completely wiped off, and the fabric on his shoulders and neckline turned transparent. The wet fabric clings to his skin, and the looming outline of his chest can still be seen.

"Is there anything else?" Xu Keqin walked to the door, opened the iron door, and talked to Guo Xiao face to face.

The boys in high school were just growing up. Guo Xiao felt that he was not short, but Xu Keqin was a little taller than him. From his height alone, Xu Keqin gave people a full sense of oppression, let alone a chilly aura.

"No..." So, Guo Xiao didn't dare to speak.

Xu Keqin glanced at the neighbor from the corner of his eye. Today, he remembered, was Saturday when Uncle Guo Xiao rested. Did this idiot get kicked out again?

Guo Xiao moved to their building a few years ago. I heard that his parents passed away in an accident, and he only has one relative, his aunt. Originally, Guo Xiao’s little uncle didn’t want to take in Guo Xiao as a burden, but he coveted the compensation for the death of his parents. Jin, Guo Xiao's aunt and her husband have a three-chapter agreement to raise Guo Xiao to adulthood, and the rest of the compensation will be given to him.

Guo Xiao's little uncle has no great skills, he is mercenary, selfish, and looks like a petty citizen. His relationship with the neighbors upstairs and downstairs is not good. His relationship is not good, and the relationship with Xu Keqin is not good. The difference is that Xu Keqin is taking others for fun, and he is simply offending others without knowing it.

Anyway, he was living under someone else's roof, Guo Xiao had a tile to cover his head, when his aunt was at home, someone took care of him to eat and go to school, and when his aunt was not at home, his little uncle thought he was annoying, so he kicked him out.

"Can't you go in?" Xu Keqin asked indifferently.

Guo Xiao nodded, Xu Keqin was able to talk to him, he was a little more courageous, "Xu Keqin, can I drink water at your house?"

For the sake of Guo Xiao buying small wontons for himself, Xu Keqin made way for him.

Fortunately, Xu Keqin's home is a water dispenser, and there are ready-made plastic cups in the box under the machine, otherwise Guo Xiao would be ashamed to use other people's water cups.

Guo Xiao looks quite big, but he has been under the roof for many years. Whether he is outside or at home, he is very submissive. Looking at people's faces has become a compulsory course for him.

Xu Keqin stood behind Guo Xiao, a thought flashed in his mind, he said, "Go knock on the door?"

Guo Xiao coughed from the choking, held the plastic cup, and stood there helplessly, "Ah... my little uncle is sleeping... I'll just wait for my aunt to come back..."

"You can't sleep for a day. How many hours will your aunt get off work? Are you going to stand outside all afternoon?"

Guo Xiao had nowhere to go, and he had no money on him. He couldn't stand the sun, so he would hide in the corridor. Their building was facing the sun, and the corridor couldn't cool down.

But he definitely didn't dare to knock on the door, so let's do it, it's better than being scolded by his little uncle.

He didn't speak, and answered Xu Keqin's question in a silent way, he didn't want to knock on the door.

Xu Keqin felt bored seeing his useless appearance, so he threw the towel on the sofa, "I'll wait for you to go out."

Guo Xiao didn't expect Xu Keqin to let him stay at home for a while, so when Xu Keqin chased him away, he didn't feel too disappointed. After asking Xu Keqin for another glass of water, he withdrew from the house.

In the afternoon, Guo Xiao sat in the corridor and dozed off. When he woke up, he got up and moved his hands and feet. The door of his aunt’s house had never been opened. He also sneaked to see what Xu Keqin was doing. The living room was empty. Xu Keqin should be in the room study here.

Cheng Manwan was not surprised to run into Guo Xiao in the corridor, she was no longer surprised by it, and asked Guo Xiao to get up and go home while picking out the keys.

"Auntie." Guo Xiao stood up abruptly.

It's not that Cheng Manwan doesn't feel sorry for her nephew. She and her husband Qi Fei have quarreled many times over Guo Xiao's matter. It's not a good thing to protect Guo Xiao too much. Turn a blind eye, boy, this bit of suffering is nothing, Guo Xiao is really promising, he will find a job by himself in the future, and move out of them as soon as possible.

"Auntie." Before entering the house, Guo Xiao hurriedly told his aunt about the bicycle, "I crushed Xu Keqin's bicycle, and he lost money to other neighbors. Do I have to give him some too?"

Cheng Manwan stood where she was, not in a hurry to go home, "How much is it, I will pay it to others."

Knowing that Xu Keqin's things are expensive, she took out hundreds of stuffs from her bag and handed them to Guo Xiao, "Tell me if it's not enough, don't let your little uncle know."

It's not that she doesn't give Guo Xiao pocket money, Guo Xiao is easy to bully, when he came here, as long as he had a little pocket money, the ordinary big kids on the street in the courtyard would take him for a ride. If you can give Guo Xiao all to go.

Later, she prepared everything for Guo Xiao, and Guo Xiao was also sensible, and would only talk to herself when there was money to be made.

Cheng Manwan thought that she had already reached the door of Xu Keqin's house, so she might as well ask herself. She knocked on the door of Xu Keqin's house, and soon Xu Keqin came out of the room.

Xu Keqin, who was eccentric towards others, was a little more polite towards Guo Xiao's aunt. He called out, "Auntie Cheng."

"I heard from Guo Xiao that he damaged your car, right? How much will Auntie pay you?"

Xu Keqin glanced at Guo Xiao, "No need, I've asked him to take it for repair."

It must be at the car repairer at the entrance of the alley that Guo Xiao can take it for repairs, and it won't cost much.

After Xu Keqin entered, Cheng Manwan asked Guo Xiao, "Did you use the money I gave you to repair the car? Haven't you eaten yet?"

As soon as he heard the word "eat", Guo Xiao's stomach let out a growl. It was true that he hadn't eaten, but it wasn't because of car repairs.

"I haven't paid the money for the car repair yet. The money is in the drawer in the bedroom. I forgot to take it when I came out." Later, I wanted to go back to get it but couldn't get in, so I was hungry.

Cheng Manwan gave Guo Xiao a little more money, and instructed: "The money for car repairs, food money, don't lose it, keep it by yourself, if you lose a word, you will either be hungry or have no money to repair the car."

In the end, I added another sentence, "Long memory, don't be so frizzy."

Just when Guo Xiao was pondering whether the phrase "long memory" meant money or Xu Keqin's car, the aunt had already opened the door.

The little uncle was lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV and taking a nap. When he heard the sound, he opened his eyes in a daze, "I'm back."

He didn't care about locking Guo Xiao out of the door at all, and asked naturally, "What's for dinner?"

Cheng Manwan didn't bother arguing with him, and was worried about Guo Xiao's hunger, so she put down her bag, turned around and went into the kitchen, leaving Guo Xiao and Qi Fei in the living room looking at each other.

"What are you staring at me for?" Qi Fei raised his hand, as if to hit Guo Xiao, but Guo Xiao shrank his neck and ran back to the room.

The next day, Guo Xiao got up early, and today his aunt was resting at home, so he didn't have to worry about being locked out, so he took the money to pick up Xu Keqin's car.

When he excitedly asked Xu Keqin to go down to look at the bicycle, Xu Keqin said flatly, "I don't want it anymore."

"Ah? It's fixed..." Guo Xiao was a little dazed, and he didn't want anything worth tens of thousands of dollars, and it wasn't that he couldn't use it.

Xu Keqin was about to go out for a morning run, and said impatiently, "If you want it, you can take it. I've already bought a new one."
