hypocritically

Chapter 38

Guo Xiao looked at the phone for countless times, even the battery had dropped by half, and the last bottle of potion had been hung up, but he still hadn't received a reply from Xu Keqin.

The doctor in the outpatient clinic pulled out his needle and gave him cold medicine. He was still a little hot, but he was not as uncomfortable as he was at the beginning.

"Have you remembered how to eat? Guo Xiao?" The doctor saw that he was always looking at his mobile phone, and he didn't seem to listen to what he said.

Guo Xiao let out an "ah" and scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "I... forgot..."

"You forgot or didn't listen? You have been out of your mind since the infusion, why are you in such a hurry?" As he spoke, the doctor repeated the dose of cold medicine again.

Why should he go, Guo Xiao thought, or he should go to Jingshan to have a look, what if Xu Keqin has something to do?Even if it's okay, it's for peace of mind.

The doctor kindly reminded, "The temperature is going to drop recently, the main thing is to keep warm, you are still sick, try to blow as little cold wind as possible."

After coming out of the outpatient clinic, Guo Xiao went straight to the house. The temperature dropped as soon as it dropped. After a heavy rain, it was like a new season. His nose was blocked and numb. The tone, from the nasal cavity to the lungs, is cold.

Just as he went up the stairs, a figure came down from the stairs. Guo Xiao raised his head subconsciously, and there was a daughter wearing sunglasses standing there, looking familiar...Xu Keqin's mother?

"Aunt Ji?" Guo Xiao quickly ran a few steps, "Why are you here?"

Ji Huixiu seemed to be a little thinner than before, with her sunglasses covering most of her face, she could still feel her haggardness, and even her tone of voice was not as energetic as before.

It's been a long time since I saw Xu Keqin's mother, Guo Xiao thought, even if Xu Keqin and his mother had such an unpleasant quarrel, after all, they are mother and son, no matter how angry they are, they will never lose contact for the rest of their lives.

Ji Huixiu adjusted her glasses, lowered her voice, and glanced up and down the stairs, "Slow down."

Guo Xiao pursed his lips, not even daring to breathe too much.

"Do you have contact with Xu Keqin?"

Guo Xiao also wanted to ask Ji Huixiu if he had contacted Xu Keqin, "Yes...but he didn't reply to my message today..."

Through the sunglasses, Ji Huixiu looked at Guo Xiao strangely, why didn't reply today.

Forget it, Guo Xiao is a fool, and he can't figure it out even if he asks him, so it's better to get Xu Keqin's current address directly from him.

"Do you know where he lives?" Ji Huixiu paused, "Ask him for me if I can go to him, otherwise what should I do if he gets angry with me again if I come to my door?"

Then, he took out a pen and paper from his bag, scratched at the paper for a while, and stuffed the paper into Guo Xiao's arms.

Guo Xiao looked down and saw that there were phone numbers and addresses written on it. He wanted to say something else when he heard Ji Huixiu stepping on high heels downstairs, "Aunt Ji..."

Ji Huixiu, who was still on the stairs, raised her head impatiently, "I told you to keep your voice down."

Haven't you made enough fools in Tongzilou?I ran back to find Xu Keqin by myself, not knowing what to pass on.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Guo Xiao patted his lips and shook his head to indicate that he was gone.

After returning home, Guo Xiao didn't mention to his aunt that he had met Xu Keqin's mother, but only said that he was going out for a trip.

Cheng Manwan hurriedly put down the work in hand, and when she came out of the kitchen, she was a little angry, "Why do you want to run outside again?"

She touched Guo Xiao's forehead, "I'm still sick, where do you want to go?"

The palm on his forehead was cold, and his aunt's tone was slightly annoyed. Guo Xiao was in a daze. Since his parents passed away, he moved to live with his aunt. The aunt was very gentle to him, and almost never lost his temper.

Guo Xiao knew that his aunt was afraid that he would be too uncomfortable, so he was extra accommodating to him. The aunt and mother were sisters, so they looked a little more like her when she was angry.

I don't need my aunt to spoil me too much, I really want to be scolded like other children, but my aunt is busy enough every day, and he doesn't want to annoy her and make her worry.

"Why don't you talk?" Cheng Manwan thought that Guo Xiao was burning stupid, so she pushed Guo Xiao with a little force.

Guo Xiao even breathed a short breath with a nasal sound, "I...be back soon, before dinner..."

Obviously she didn't want to say where she was going, maybe she really grew up and had her own little secret, Cheng Manwan sighed, "Wear thicker clothes to go out, no more riding a bike, go by car."

When going out, Guo Xiao called Xu Keqin, but the phone was turned off, looking at Xu Keqin's name on the phone, worries spread in Guo Xiao's chest.

After hearing what my aunt said, Guo Xiao took the bus to go out. The bus would take a detour in the city and had to change twice.

After walking for nearly 10 minutes, Guo Xiao was out of breath. His nose was stuffy, and he kept breathing through his mouth. Not to mention tired, his mouth was still dry. Finally, he saw the roof of the security room, and he took a deep breath. The pace quickened again.

The heavy iron gate was still closed, Guo Xiao went to the glass window and knocked on the glass, the security guard inside was still the same as before.

"Uncle, can you open the door for me?"

The security guard opened the door of the security room and poked his head out, "Why are you here? Xu Keqin is not at home."

"Is he not at home? Did he say where he went?" Guo Xiao was a little anxious, "He hasn't responded to my messages. I called him, but his phone was still turned off."

The security guard hurriedly comforted Guo Xiao, "Don't worry, he left with Mr. Xu."

Mr. Xu?Hearing this strange address, Guo Xiao was stunned for a moment.

The security guard looked at him blankly, "Mr. Xu, don't you know? His father."

After being reminded by the security guard, Guo Xiaocai connected Mr. Xu with Xu Keqin. Even if Xu Keqin and his father left, there was no need to turn off the phone or not reply to messages, right?

"I see that he is leaving with his luggage. Mr. Xu means that he is worried about Xu Keqin living alone. It seems that he took him away."

The security guards didn't know much about it. In short, Xu Keqin was not at home and left with his father. He couldn't enter the gate by himself, and even if he did, he couldn't enter Xu Keqin's house.

"Perhaps they have settled down and will give you a message." A voice came from the walkie-talkie. The security guard had work to do, so he didn't tell Guo Xiao too much.

The wind was stronger when going down the mountain than when it came, and Guo Xiao's brain was almost blurred by the cold wind.

Xu Keqin told himself that his father had his own family.

Guo Xiao didn't make it clear, Xu Keqin followed his father away, what does it mean to leave?To live for a while, then come back, or never come back?

In fact, it’s good to be able to live with his parents. Guo Xiao can understand this feeling best. Although my aunt treats me very well, I still miss my parents. Although Xu Keqin’s house is very big now, he should also be in the dead of night. Longing for the favor of family.

I should be happy for him, but why is my heart empty, as if my heart has fallen into my stomach.

Probably because he couldn't bear to part with Xu Keqin, he had only made a friend like Xu Keqin after he had been in the city for so long.

Guo Xiao is not that selfish, and can still be friends even though they are far apart. He is not afraid that Xu Keqin will have a new social circle. In his heart, his relationship with Xu Keqin will never change.

It must be inconvenient for Xu Keqin not to reply to his message, just like Uncle Security said, after he settles down with his father, he will definitely contact him.

The way down the mountain was easier and less tiring. After Guo Xiao got on the bus, he edited the news for Xu Keqin.

"Xu Keqin, Aunt Ji came to see you. She said, if you lose your temper, remember to contact her. Here is her number and address."

The melancholy of parting made Guo Xiao feel as if Huo had opened a hole in his heart. He was more afraid of parting than ordinary people. He has always been big-hearted, and he would think deeply about parting. chance to meet.

He touched the phone screen, edited another message and sent it to Xu Keqin, "Xu Keqin, when will you finish your work, remember to message me back."

After returning home from Jingshan, Guo Xiao was listless, as if he was exhausted, so he covered his head and fell asleep for a while.

I don't know if it was because of the daytime, but he didn't sleep soundly. He could hear the crashing noise made by his aunt when she was cleaning the living room, the upstairs neighbor's walking, and the horn outside the window.

The black and white mist in front of him gradually dissipated, and he saw Xu Keqin, who was sitting in front of the coffee table, looking at him with the usual expression, "Come here."

He seems to be making up lessons at Xu Keqin's house, and Xu Keqin is back?

Seeing Guo Xiao standing still, Xu Keqin became impatient, "Didn't you listen?"

"Oh..." Guo Xiao moved closer to Xu Keqin, he wanted to ask Xu Keqin why he came back so soon?Are you still going to his father's place?

Xu Keqin noticed Guo Xiao's eyes, "Why are you looking at me? Look at the test paper, the questions I gave you yesterday are exactly the same, but you still didn't do it right."

"Xu Keqin..."

Just as Guo Xiao opened his mouth, he seemed to hear someone calling him.

"Guo Xiao!"

It seems to be my aunt's voice, why is my aunt here?

Auntie patted Guo Xiao's cheek, and seemed to be talking to someone again, "Why is it burning again?"

"I told you to leave this kid alone, you'll know how to cause trouble to others!" The voice of the speaker was also very familiar.

My aunt got angry, "You have time to talk nonsense, why don't you help me carry Guo Xiao to the outpatient clinic."

"I'm fucking tired all day, should I carry him?" The man raised his voice.

Guo Xiao recognized that it was my uncle.

"Can I still carry him?" My aunt asked back.

The room suddenly fell silent, Guo Xiao heard his little uncle scolding his mother again, and then he clenched his wrists, spinning like he was lying on someone's back.

Guo Xiao's mind was dizzy, his eyes were out of focus, he couldn't tell which was a dream and which was reality, but he could vaguely see the side face of his little uncle.

He obviously hung himself on the water and took medicine, so why didn't his fever go down?

Did he cause trouble for my aunt and uncle again?
