hypocritically

Chapter 8

Xu Keqin has recently fallen in love with the restaurant opposite the hair salon. During lunch, he always asks Guo Xiao to accompany him to eat.

After eating the dishes on the table for several days in a row, Guo Xiao was a little tired. He wanted to mention it to Xu Keqin, or else he could change the taste tomorrow.

Seeing Xu Keqin playing with his mobile phone, he didn't seem to like the dishes on the table that much.

"Xu Keqin..." Guo Xiao carefully called Xu Keqin's name.

"Huh?" Xu Keqin responded casually.

A familiar figure appeared in the hair salon opposite. The woman enthusiastically held the man's hand, and her whole body was almost pressed into the man's arms.

Xu Keqin quickly pressed the camera button until the man and woman were completely out of sight, then he put down his phone and looked at Guo Xiao, "What did you say?"

"Let's eat something else tomorrow. Doesn't this restaurant have other dishes?"

Xu Keqin picked up the chopsticks, bowed his head and said, "I won't come tomorrow, I'm tired."

Hearing what Xu Keqin said, Guo Xiao was secretly relieved that he could finally change his taste.

"I remember that there is a group of second-hand idle items in the building?" Xu Keqin asked casually.

Guo Xiao nodded. He had an impression of this. His aunt had joined this group when he sent out leaflets. Most of the neighbors in the building also joined this group. Apart from buying and selling second-hand items, they would sometimes join the group notification message.

"I want to sell the useless things at home, but I can't find this group."

Guo Xiao felt that Xu Keqin really had too many things in his house. According to his thinking, selling the things he didn't need would make the best use of everything. He was afraid that Xu Keqin's price would be too expensive.

"I still have that flyer at home, I'll go back and find it for you."

Xu Keqin's mother was still not at home tonight, and when Xu Keqin came out of the shower, he just received a call from his father.

"dad?"

Xu Zhenli still cared about his illegitimate son. Among the several children, Xu Keqin liked him the most. However, Xu Keqin's status was embarrassing. Even if he had high hopes for him, Xu Keqin's family property was not his turn.

Fortunately, Xu Zhenli's current wife is more sensible and generous. As long as she doesn't bring Xu Keqin home, she will turn a blind eye to how much pocket money she gives Xu Keqin.

"It's almost the end of the semester. Don't stay up late, go to bed early." Xu Zhenli wanted to send Xu Keqin abroad. As for how Xu Keqin would mess around, it would depend on his own destiny. Besides, having an illegitimate child by his side is not a good thing .

I checked Xu Keqin's tone several times, but Xu Keqin's attitude was very vague, as if he didn't have too strong thoughts about going abroad.

After a brief chat with his father, when he was about to hang up, Xu Keqin called his father to stop him, "Dad, last time you mentioned the house in Jingshan, I want to see it."

Xu Keqin knew what his father was thinking, whether it was sending him abroad or giving him a house, it was all to make up for him. He also adhered to the principle of not asking for anything. He would refuse gifts that were too expensive. If he refuses, his father will feel more guilty, and the next time he will give it to him, it will be doubled on the original basis.

"The house in Jingshan is the most valuable. Even if you don't stay here in the future and change to other places, the house can still be sold." Dad was very happy, "Okay, after your final exam is over, see when you have time, Dad will take you go."

"Thank you dad."

"You're still so polite with Dad."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Keqin sat at the table. The house that his father would like should be in a good location, so famous, even the classmates in the class would know about it.

"Xu Keqin!"

Outside the door, Guo Xiao's voice interrupted Xu Keqin's train of thought. Xu Keqin turned his head to look at the living room, got up and walked out slowly.

After the wooden door inside was opened, Guo Xiao passed a piece of advertising paper to Xu Keqin through the iron door, with the QR code of Qun on it.

"Thank you." Xu Keqin closed the door very quickly, not noticing Guo Xiao's expression of wanting to say a few more words to him.

Looking at the closed door, Guo Xiao stood at the door of someone's house as if thinking about something, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Good night..."

Scanning the QR code to join the group does not require anyone to pass through. Fortunately, this QR code has not expired. It is relatively late now, and there are many people in the group, and many of them are from the neighborhood next door. Therefore, Xu Keqin entered the group At the time, no one noticed.

What's more, Xu Keqin doesn't use social software and doesn't have his friends. To the people in the group, he is a stranger who sells idle items.

A few days later, someone sent several photos of Chen Xiuwen's father and the little girl in the hair salon in the second-hand idle group, and attached a sentence, "Your husband is out to buy someone a mobile phone." After the person sent the picture So I quit the group, and I didn't want to add him as a friend.

Originally, it was normal for a husband and wife to have some conflicts. Even if the husband knew about it, it was resolved within the family. A woman of Chen Xiuwen's mother's age would probably swallow it for the sake of the child and the family.

But the photos were directly sent to the second-hand idle group, making it known in the streets and alleys, and making a fool of myself in front of others, no one has such a thick skin.

The couple had a fierce quarrel at home, and they could often hear the quarrel coming from his house. Even Chen Xiuwen didn't show up in the yard recently.

People who read right and wrong are all greedy for new things, and it's not anyone's family's business that is lively, the more they attract their attention, the less gossip about Xu Keqin's family.

Whether other people's family is making a big fuss or whether they will get divorced is not something Xu Keqin worries about. He has already done what he wanted to do, and there are still people queuing up behind him.

The closer the end of the period was, the more homework assignments the teachers of each subject had. Guo Xiao, who could not keep up with the teaching progress, was even more struggling to face the piles of test papers.

Guo Xiao glanced at Xu Keqin who was next to him. Xu Keqin seemed to be able to write test papers with ease, which he could never learn in his life, so he called Xu Keqin in a low voice.

Xu Keqin looked up at him, as if asking him what's the matter.

He pointed to the question on the test paper, "How do you do this?"

Guo Xiao is a person who is really slow. His brain doesn’t turn fast, and he doesn’t have an enlightened mind whether it’s study or worldly skills. But he’s not a lazy character. , I was distressed, and it also upset the teacher who changed the homework.

Xu Keqin didn't feel the same way, he wanted to tell Guo Xiao not to bother, no matter how hard he tried, it was only the difference between the penultimate exam room and the penultimate exam.

It's not just this question that Guo Xiao doesn't know. Whether he teaches or not will not have a big impact on his overall performance.

"Huh?" Seeing that Xu Keqin didn't speak, Guo Xiao thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again, "How to do this..."

This time, he appeared more cautious, because he was afraid that Xu Keqin would hear it, but he was unwilling to teach him that's all. Apart from the stupidity on his face, Guo Xiao was also sincere and serious.

Xu Keqin avoided his gaze, "You won't even if I teach you."

Some people know that they can't do it, and they may not be looking for results, but simply like the feeling of giving, but they don't want to waste time with him.

Guo Xiao turned around in disappointment, Xu Keqin was right.

Going to the toilet before class, there are relatively few people in the toilet, Xu Keqin entered the innermost pit, just when he was about to come out after finishing, he heard someone talking outside.

"What about the final exam?"

"I fucking want to know what to do. Those who are in the same examination room as us can be anything, and they can't copy it if they want to." The voice sounded familiar, and Xu Keqin recognized it as Kang Ping.

Someone deliberately lowered their voice when answering the question, sneakily, "Look for a copy with good grades, ask in the school post bar, someone will agree."

Kang Ping seemed to have an idea about this suggestion, "Is it real or fake? How do you copy it?"

"It depends on how brave you are. Bring your mobile phone into the examination room, and then take a picture of the question to the other party. He will send it to you when he is done."

Kang Ping was stunned for a moment, "Aren't our schools allowed to take exams? Who should I send them to?"

"The third year of high school and our exam time are staggered."

After Kang Ping and the others left, Xu Keqin came out of the toilet, washed his hands, and then walked to the classroom unhurriedly.

Guo Xiao was sprawled on the table, feeling sleepy. He didn't know if he was listless because he didn't know how to do the questions, or because he was in pain from being poked by Xu Keqin.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out in front of him and picked up his test paper. He was startled, and turned around to find that it was Xu Keqin, "What's wrong?"

Xu Keqin skimmed through the test paper, he could be wrong in nine out of ten multiple-choice questions, and the one he got right was probably fooled.

"I don't know if I can finish it." Xu Keqin dragged a stool and sat next to Guo Xiao, "Just tell it once, I can't help you if you don't understand."

Guo Xiao's eyes lit up, and he kept nodding his head. He was full of energy, and he was more serious than listening to the teacher in class.

Xu Keqin sat next to Guo Xiao with his cheeks resting on his hands, and with the other hand he pointed to the number on the stem, his voice neither high nor low, and his tone was calm.

It was the first time for Guo Xiao to be so close to Xu Keqin. Xu Keqin seemed to have a cleanliness habit and kept a distance from everyone, whether it was an abstract spiritual distance or a physical social distance.

But as Xu Keqin expected, Guo Xiao really didn't understand. Guo Xiao didn't know what to ask, and even the most basic formulas were vague.

As expected, Xu Keqin didn't lose his temper, which actually made Guo Xiao feel embarrassed.

Guo Xiao pinched the pen, his cheeks flushed red, and he didn't know whether he was stepping down for himself or Xu Keqin, "I knew it would be so difficult...I won't waste your time..."

It was rare that Xu Keqin didn't say anything harsh. He glanced at Guo Xiao, and said in a very easy-going tone, "If you want to learn, just start from the beginning. It's useless to solve problems if you don't know anything."

Guo Xiao wants to learn. There are some things that he can’t do just because he wants to. He has already left a level behind and cannot keep up with the teaching progress. The teacher can’t stop the teaching progress for him. Guo Xiao has nothing else, he still has self-knowledge Yes, apart from the fact that the quality of teaching in the countryside is not as good as in the city, his brain is indeed not as bright as Xu Keqin's.
