hypocritically

Chapter 50

Guo Xiao didn’t choose a place to sleep, he still slept soundly on the sofa, turned over, and almost fell to the ground, in a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of closing the door, facing the dazzling light, he squinted and looked around, Seeing the wallpaper on the wall, it was obviously not in the dormitory, so he raised his head back again, just in time to see Xu Keqin who had come back from his morning run.

By the way, he spent the night at Xu Keqin's house last night.

Guo Xiao got up, and memories gradually flooded into his empty head. Xu Keqin had a stomachache, and he went for a morning jog because of the stomachache. He didn't know if he had breakfast.

"You went for a run?"

The bangs on Xu Keqin's forehead were wet with sweat, and he walked straight to the room, assuming he was going to take a bath, "Yeah."

Just after waking up, Guo Xiao didn't recover a bit and didn't know what to do. Seeing Xu Keqin entered the bathroom, he sat on the sofa, stared straight at the direction of the bathroom, and watched Xu Keqin come out until Xu Keqin appeared. in sight.

Xu Keqin's fair cheeks were flushed by the hot water. He wiped his hair with a towel, but the water dripped all the way, "The toothbrush and towel are in the cabinet in the bathroom."

After Guo Xiao finished washing, Xu Keqin was nowhere to be seen in the living room. At this time, there was a noise from the kitchen. Guo Xiao poked his head out from the corner and saw Xu Keqin standing in the kitchen with his back facing him, as if he was making breakfast?

In his impression, Xu Keqin was never short of money in his pocket, and he had never seen him in the kitchen. Guo Xiao was thinking, Xu Keqin's stomach was already so fragile, must Xu Keqin cook by himself?

Breakfast is very simple, omelette, milk and porridge, and there is Guo Xiao's share.

While eating, Guo Xiao thought of Xu Keqin's stomach, "Does your stomach still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"How could you have a stomach problem?" Guo Xiao always felt that Xu Keqin's body was stronger than his.

Before Xu Keqin could speak, there was a knock on the door. He paused, got up and walked to the door, looked out of the cat's eye, and didn't open the door immediately. Then he looked at Guo Xiao, motioning for Guo Xiao to enter the room. .

Guo Xiao didn't know who was outside the door, but he understood what Xu Keqin meant, took the bowls and chopsticks in his hand to the kitchen, and obediently entered the room.

After the door was closed, Xu Keqin stuffed Guo Xiao's shoes into the shoe cabinet and opened the door unhurriedly.

"So slow?" Xu Xinglan was outside the door.

Xu Keqin glanced behind Xu Xinglan, only Xu Xinglan was alone, and his father didn't come with him, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Xu Xinglan knocked Xu Keqin away and entered the house. He was impetuous and couldn't hide his affairs. He especially liked to show off in front of Xu Keqin.

"After the new project is implemented, I will stay in Province A for a long time in the future. I am afraid that my father will say that I am ungrateful. I will come and see you."

Xu Xinglan walked around the living room with his shoes on, and finally stopped at the dining table, with a gloating tone, "How about making breakfast by yourself? You hurt your stomach in prison, and you haven't recovered yet?"

Xu Keqin didn't change his face, "Brother is so busy, he still has time to visit me, but unfortunately I'm not capable, so I can't help you."

"Are you too ambitious, or are you incompetent?" Xu Xinglan sat down at the dining table, "Why didn't Dad ask you to follow the new project, and still miss the head office? Let me tell you, Dad is just being polite to you You are being polite, do you really think how much weight you have in the Xu family? This year the Xu family will establish a subsidiary in province A. The subsidiary is under my name, not only the subsidiary, but the entire Xu family will be mine in the future, don't think about it .”

No matter what Xu Xinglan said was true or not, Xu Keqin had long given up hope for his father.

Xu Xinglan patted his chest and said: "I don't do things that harm others or benefit myself. I am much more generous than my mother. You are my cheap brother and my benefactor. You have been squatting for me for more than half a year. Prison, be safe, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Xu Keqin clenched his teeth, subconsciously looked in the direction of the bedroom, and quickly calmed down.

"This dilapidated place is not as good as the building that Dad bought for you in Jingshan back then?" Xu Xinglan swept the non-existent dust on the dining table with his fingers, "But it's just right for you to live in."

Xu Xinglan was just going through the motions to show off, and after showing off for a while, he left.

The sound insulation effect of high-rise buildings is very average. Guo Xiao hid in the bedroom, and he could even hear the door opening outside. The curtains were closed tightly, and the bedroom was a bit dark and inexplicably gloomy. ?Why did Xu Keqin ask him to enter the room?

Before he could figure it out, he heard someone talking again. The man's voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

brother?Xu Keqin's older brother.

It's not like I haven't seen it before. Is it necessary to be so sneaky?But since it was Xu Keqin's intention, he could only do it honestly.

Brother Xu Keqin’s tone didn’t look like he came to visit his younger brother, but he seemed to be provocative. Guo Xiao didn’t understand the phrase “hurt his stomach”, until Guo Xiao heard the phrase “I’ve been in prison for him for more than half a year”, Guo Xiao didn’t understand. react to.

Earlier Xu Keqin joked that he was in jail, was he not joking, is it true?

Guo Xiao squeezed the doorknob, desperately suppressing the surprise in his heart, why?

The scars on Xu Keqin's body and Xu Keqin's physical condition seemed to be traceable.

No wonder Xu Keqin didn't contact him, is it because he went to jail?

Although elder brother Xu Keqin spoke very rudely, the atmosphere in the living room was not too tense. Xu Keqin didn't seem to be irritated by him, and his mood didn't change much.

Soon, Guo Xiao heard the sound of the door opening. He wasn't sure if brother Xu Keqin had left, and Xu Keqin didn't come into the room to tell him to go out. He didn't dare to act rashly, and waited for a long time. Guo Xiao lay on the door panel, and the outside was quiet. , as if no one was there, even Xu Keqin went out with him?

Guo Xiao opened the door cautiously. He tried his best to control the strength of his feet, and when the slippers stepped on the floor, there was still a slight sound.

There was no one at the dining table, and there was still a small part of the breakfast in the bowl. Guo Xiao turned his head and looked at the living room. Xu Keqin sat cross-legged on the ground, with a gloomy expression on his face, his eyes slightly squinted, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Xu Keqin..." Guo Xiao called softly.

Hearing the sound, Xu Keqin raised his eyes and glanced at Guo Xiao. The hostility in his eyes seemed to be able to swallow people up in an instant. Even when Xu Keqin looked up at him, Guo Xiao was still so scared that he took a step back, forgetting what he said.

"you…"

Xu Keqin restrained his emotions, and said slowly, "Throw away that table, chair, and everything on the table."

Guo Xiao didn't dare to ask why, and just followed Xu Keqin's wishes.

There are not many items, but they are big. Guo Xiao struggled to get into the elevator. When he went upstairs, there were a few more people in the family, including the aunt who was doing Procter & Gamble, and the master who changed the door.

After a whole morning of tossing around, the house was cleaned and the anti-theft door was replaced with a new one. After the rest of the people had left, the house was completely quiet.

With such a big battle, Guo Xiao swallowed the words he wanted to ask Xu Keqin.

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Xu Keqin took the initiative to ask.

Guo Xiao let out an "ah", and didn't have anything to ask, as if he knew a little bit about everything, and asking the bottom line would expose Xu Keqin's scars.

"I thought you were joking about going to jail..."

Xu Keqin didn't know until he arrived at Xu's house that his father was in a hurry to take him back because he wanted to take the blame for his elder brother, who got into an argument with someone and crippled him.

Xu Keqin is not a person who repays grievances with virtue, but when he entered Xu's house, his father was determined to make him take the blame, and he had no room to resist.

He thought he could stay in peace for a few months when he went in, and everyone inside was not a vegetarian. Xu Keqin didn't know whether it was his elder brother who was insane and wanted his life, or the one who was beaten came to Xu Keqin to vent his anger. It was so uneven that he almost couldn't get out of it.

"The wound on your arm is from fighting with the people inside?"

Xu Keqin couldn't let himself suffer in vain, he could leave such a deep scar, and that person would have almost lost his arm.

Later, because of "eating the wrong food", Xu Keqin was sent for gastric lavage. Xu Keqin said indifferently: "My elder brother probably didn't expect me to be so lucky."

Guo Xiao couldn't tell what it was like. He thought that Xu Keqin's life would be easier when he returned to his father's place. His previous life might not be considered a tiger's den, but Xu Keqin's father's place must be a wolf's den.

"Xu Keqin... Have you ever thought about going to work in other places after finishing college? It doesn't have to be a big city... just like our place before..."

Even Xu Keqin's parents can't protect Xu Keqin well, and Xu Keqin has such a vicious elder brother. What Guo Xiao can think of is that if he doesn't associate with this family, he will go to a place that no one knows and find a job to settle down.

Xu Keqin looked at Guo Xiao for a long time, "Guo Xiao, it is impossible for me to work in public security and law in my life, so no matter where I go, as long as my elder brother finds me, I will not be able to live in peace."

Besides, it's not Xu Keqin's style of doing things to calm things down.

Guo Xiao understood Xu Keqin's character. Before he said this, he had a fluke mentality. Xu Keqin would never let himself be wronged in vain. Even if he tried to persuade him, it would be a waste of time.

Originally, he wanted to go back to school on Saturday, but after learning about Xu Keqin, Guo Xiao didn't plan to leave in such a hurry. Xu Keqin had no one he could trust, so he couldn't do anything for Xu Keqin. The only thing he could do was to stay with him for a while .

"You only ate a little for breakfast, how about I warm up the porridge for you?" Guo Xiao didn't wait for Xu Keqin to agree, and went straight into the kitchen, "Today... I won't go back to school..."

Xu Keqin leaned on the sofa, "It's up to you."

I don't even need to guess, I know what Guo Xiao is thinking. Guo Xiao will not alienate himself because of these things, but will feel inexplicable guilt, as if he felt guilty for his parents, but he can guess, and see Guo Xiao with his own eyes. Reactions, feelings are different.

Idiots only treat people well, there are not many idiots like Guo Xiao in the world.

Xu Keqin casually picked up the magazine on the coffee table, and the cell phone beside him rang, Min Yun?This is Guo Xiao's cell phone.

Hearing his own ringtone, Guo Xiao hurriedly ran out of the kitchen. His hands were wet, so he could only ask Xu Keqin to answer the phone for him, "You answer it for me and turn on the speakerphone."

Xu Keqin casually pressed the answer button and continued flipping through the magazine in his hand.

"Guo Xiao, didn't you say you were coming back today? It's already noon now!" Min Yun's complaining voice came from the phone.

Guo Xiao instinctively looked at Xu Keqin, but Xu Keqin didn't look up, his eyes were still fixed on the contents of the magazine.

He squatted next to the phone, knowing that Xu Keqin could hear him, but he still lowered his voice, "I'm sorry, I'm not coming back today, if you have anything to do first..."

"Your homework is due on Wednesday, and if you don't do it well on weekends, what will you do?" Min Yun seemed to care more about the degree of homework completion than Guo Xiao himself.

Guo Xiao couldn't tell, but he wanted to accompany Xu Keqin more now than the less important homework, "Hey...let's read it when I come back tomorrow..."

The other side hung up the phone angrily, leaving only a busy tone and an embarrassed Guo Xiao.

Just as Guo Xiao wanted to get up, Xu Keqin flipped through the magazine a little loudly, and asked abruptly, "What homework?"

"To make a PPT, I don't have a computer, so I use my roommate's. Maybe he thought the data I collected took up his memory and urged me to finish it quickly."

Xu Keqin threw the magazine on the sofa, Guo Xiao was still the same, his EQ was too low, but he always had an inexplicable attraction to certain people.

The person on the phone just now was obviously not urging Guo Xiao to do his homework, but clearly urging him to go back early.

Xu Keqin thought for a while, then ordered: "Do it here."
