hypocritically

Chapter 46

Guo Xiao is a person without goals. His life is very confused. After his parents passed away, he spent a lot of energy adapting to life in the city. Later, because of his poor foundation, he couldn’t keep up with the teaching progress of the school. He is not high, and he himself has to muddle through. The only person who treats him well is his aunt. He has no friends, like a small animal abandoned by the ethnic group, until Xu Keqin promised to give him extra lessons.

Xu Keqin has become his only friend. He seems to have a reason and a goal. His life seems to have become more fulfilling. As he moves towards his goal, he is actually following in Xu Keqin's footsteps.

A person like him can't please girls, and it's too far away to think about the problem of the other half in the future. It's too unrealistic. My aunt has her own family, so I can't always rely on my aunt's house. Friends, it may be a lifetime friendship. .

The side of the road is not a place to talk, so Guo Xiao followed Xu Keqin upstairs. The community at the back gate of the school is not as grand as the small bungalow where Xu Keqin lived before. The house with two bedrooms and one living room is more than enough for Xu Keqin to live alone.

live alone.

Guo Xiao took off his shoes, followed behind Xu Keqin, looked around the living room, and asked nonsense, "Why don't you stay on campus?"

Xu Keqin looked at Guo Xiao as if he was looking at a fool. It was rare for Guo Xiao to be clever, and he realized that the question he asked was too stupid.

From the first time I met Xu Keqin, let alone living in school, I didn't even have any decent friends.

Thinking of this, Guo Xiao felt a little rejoiced. As for the rejoicing, he spurned himself again. He didn't know that he didn't want to see Xu Ke's favor, so why would he have unknown selfishness in friendship?

Perhaps it was for a sense of balance, because it took him two years to go to university in the same city as Xu Keqin, and he really didn't want Xu Keqin to have new friends.

Subconsciously, Guo Xiao knew that this kind of distorted psychology was not good. In order to conceal his thoughts, he stuttered to Xu Keqin about the benefits of living on campus, "Actually, living on campus is very good...you can meet more people, Not everyone is like some of my classmates before…”

Probably insincere, Guo Xiao's supplementary explanation, coupled with his weird expression, looks very funny.

Xu Keqin looked at Guo Xiao and said, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Guo Xiao was afraid that Xu Keqin would see what was on his mind, so he shut his mouth embarrassingly.

What he didn't expect was that Xu Keqin would pick up the topic and continue, "What? Your roommate treats you very well?"

This can be regarded as Guo Xiao’s real school residence. In high school, he lived with the art students. The art students spent more time in training than in the dormitory, and he had little contact with his roommates.

Only when you go to university can you have the opportunity to live under the same roof with your new classmates for a long time.

Guo Xiao rubbed his head, "They are very nice people, I can find you, I still have a roommate to help."

Xu Keqin's expression became serious. He had already guessed that Guo Xiao could find him, relying on Guo Xiao himself, it must not be so fast.

"Don't talk about us with your roommate." A large part of the reason why he was able to accept Guo Xiao by his side was that Guo Xiao didn't know how to talk nonsense.

Guo Xiao didn't dare to ask why, but nodded very hard.

Being able to stand with Xu Keqin again, he didn't feel real, because there was a gap of two years between the two of them, and he always felt that something happened in these two years, and he always felt that Xu Keqin was different from before.

Now that the weather is stuffy, after going out for a trip, Xu Keqin thought about taking a bath.

Guo Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, he followed Xu Keqin wherever he went, followed Xu Keqin into the room to get clothes, and followed Xu Keqin to the bathroom.

At the door of the bathroom, Xu Keqin turned to him and said, "Don't follow me anymore."

The clothes in Xu Keqin's hand covered most of the scar on his arm, Guo Xiao still wanted to ask about the origin of the scar, but Xu Keqin had already gone into the bathroom.

The bathroom was closed tightly, and then there was the sound of water coming from inside. Through the textured bathroom door, the silhouettes of people were blurred, and they were all in a mess.

Hearing the sound of rushing water, Guo Xiao felt a little embarrassed, no matter who was taking a bath inside, it seemed impolite to guard the door by himself.

He rubbed his nose, and walked forward along the corridor to the room. The alienation between him and Xu Keqin made him dare not enter Xu Keqin's room at will, so he could only retreat into the living room.

The coffee table was full of Xu Keqin’s books, some looked like school textbooks, some seemed to be financial magazines he bought himself, and there was an ashtray next to it. There were a lot of cigarette butts in the ashtray. Guo Xiao was a little confused. Who smoked this?Xu Keqin's father?Or his elder brother?There are cushions on the ground, and Xu Keqin still has the habit of sitting on the ground and reading.

The house is small, and there are too many things. When there are too many things, it seems a little messy. Guo Xiao thought that he had nothing to do, so he helped Xu Keqin organize the books and put them together.

The remote control of the air conditioner was placed on the coffee table, and Guo Xiao didn't use it on his own initiative. He still remembered that Xu Keqin didn't like the air conditioner very much, and he seldom even used the fan in summer.

Guo Xiao sat in the living room, staring at the direction of the bathroom, always ready for Xu Keqin to come out of the shower. When the sound of the water stopped, he concentrated his attention. When he heard the door open, he stood up abruptly.

"Xu Keqin..."

Just in time, Xu Keqin's figure appeared in Guo Xiao's sight. Xu Keqin changed into home clothes, simple short sleeves and shorts. Guo Xiao always felt familiar with this scene.

Guo Xiao is like a guard dog. Once he disappears from his sight, he will be very restless and agitated. He can't wait to rush into the bathroom to make sure that he is still there. Because of his obedience, he is particularly restrained. When he hears the door open Voice, he reacted very quickly, and would call out his name immediately.

The soaked cloth was tightly attached to Xu Keqin's skin, and the scars on his arms were scalded pink by the hot water, which was particularly obvious. Guo Xiao's eyes wandered from Xu Keqin's upper body to his lower body.

"What happened to your leg?"

In Guo Xiao's impression, Xu Keqin was such a beautiful young master, not to mention scars, he had never even seen the traces of mosquito bites. When did Xu Keqin have so many wounds on his body.

These wounds looked particularly ferocious and terrifying on the white skin, and they were incompatible with Xu Keqin's handsome face.

Xu Keqin didn't seem to hear Guo Xiao's question, leaned over to take the remote control, and turned on the air conditioner.

Guo Xiao walked around the coffee table and leaned over to Xu Keqin's side, "Xu Keqin, where did your injury come from? What have you been doing for the past two years? Why did you go to college a year late?"

As soon as he took the remote control, Xu Keqin noticed that Guo Xiao helped him pack up the textbooks. He sat cross-legged on the sofa and said casually, "Go to jail."

The understated tone made Guo Xiao unable to tell whether Xu Keqin was joking or telling the truth. He was stunned for a moment, then walked to the sofa, trying to find the answer from Xu Keqin's face.

Xu Keqin lowered his eyelids, and gave Guo Xiao a reasonable reason, "I just arrived at my dad's place, and I didn't quite get used to it, so I took a year off from school."

This reason seems reasonable, but Guo Xiao still has some doubts about how uncomfortable Xu Keqin needs to take a year off from school.

"What about the injury?"

Xu Keqin bent down and opened the drawer of the small cabinet next to him, took out the cigarette case and lighter from the drawer, and lit one in front of Guo Xiao.

It turned out that it wasn't the cigarette ash and cigarette butts just now, it wasn't made by others, it was Xu Keqin himself.

"When did you learn to smoke?"

Xu Keqin smiled contemptuously, "Smoking is not taking drugs. Is it so unbelievable?"

This kind of smile made Guo Xiao shudder, he couldn't regard the current Xu Keqin as the same person as the well-behaved and even a little ignorant Xu Keqin at the dinner table just now.

Xu Keqin shook the soot very skillfully, "You have also seen my elder brother's attitude towards me. I will inevitably have some conflicts with him, and that's how the injury came."

The scars on the arms are so deep, it takes a lot of conflicts to leave them, and on the legs, Guo Xiao always feels that they are the marks left after the sores have healed.

He didn't believe it or not, and he couldn't find Xu Keqin's flaws, so he could only nod his head.

"Is your father treating you badly?" Guo Xiao sat next to Xu Keqin. Xu Keqin's elder brother is half-brother with him, so the relationship can be imagined. If his father treats him badly, then his life in Xu's family must be miserable. Dire situation.

The shredded tobacco was about to burn out, so Xu Keqin extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "Okay, this house, or Jingshan's house, he bought it for me, and he can come to see me from a long distance, the Xu family owns it." I have a share of everything."

Hearing what Xu Keqin said, Guo Xiao just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but Xu Keqin said again: "But he treats my elder brother better."

The smell of smoke in the air was slightly bitter, Guo Xiao felt uncomfortable and sat back for a while.

"Having me a share doesn't mean I can get it, I can only rely on myself." When Xu Keqin said this, he looked straight into Guo Xiao's eyes sincerely.

Guo Xiao seemed to understand, probably because Xu Keqin was the same as he was back then. When he returned to his father, he was also dependent on others. He also had an aunt.

Xu Keqin turned his head away, he had a good memory, and he still remembered the last messages Guo Xiao sent him, "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you, how are you and Wang Yueshan?"

When Wang Yueshan was mentioned suddenly, Guo Xiao still didn't realize it. After thinking for a long time, he connected the previous matter with Wang Yueshan.

"It's okay, it's just a classmate." Wang Yueshan herself still has contact, just like a friend, so she won't be embarrassed, and won't have any special feelings.

Without Wang Yueshan, there must be other girls, Xu Keqin said again: "You didn't fall in love in college?"

He was busy looking for Xu Keqin's whereabouts, and had to work part-time. Where would he have time to fall in love, Guo Xiao threw the question back to Xu Keqin, "You don't, and you don't."

Xu Keqin raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile, "I don't believe in that stuff."
