Tentative

Lin Xiuyan rushed to school in a hurry, her hair tied up casually was a bit messy, and a few strands of hair fell down on her forehead, which made her look even more toiled.She passed the corridor, and the students who were writing papers with their heads down in the third grade of junior high school all looked out because of the sound of footsteps.It is self-evident whose parent this is.

Last night, Qu Xiaoyu didn't come home at night, and the dormitory was repeatedly questioned several times, and it had already been spread to everyone in the grade.Of course, it was Qu Xiaoyu's parents who came to the school.

She went straight to the teacher's office, gasping for breath, and stood at the door. Qu Xiaoyu was standing in front of the head teacher's desk with his back to the door, with his head down, not knowing what expression to make.

"Old...teacher..." Lin Xiuyan called out hesitantly, seeing Qu Xiaoyu again, her voice suddenly raised: "Xiaoyu you! Where have you been!"

"It's Qu Xiaoyu's parents, come in quickly!" The head teacher was a fat, 50-year-old middle-aged woman. She smiled amiably, but looked a little funny when she was angry.Seeing Lin Xiuyan, she stood up, and continued, "Last night, Qu Xiaoyu escaped from evening self-study and didn't return to school all night. We only arrived at school in the second class this morning. We had no choice but to notify the parents..."

"Yes, thank you teacher, this child is really..." Lin Xiuyan was ashamed of being told, and kept nodding.

In the morning, she received a call from the school saying that Qu Xiaoyu hadn't returned home at night and was missing, so she hurried over.But the school is a bit far away, more than an hour's drive.

Along the way, she thought about many possibilities, maybe something happened to her daughter, or maybe——her daughter was fooling around with that girl.

Now that people are standing here unscathed, it is naturally more likely to be the latter.

"Ask her where she went last night and she won't tell you, look..." "What did you do last night! Tell me!" Lin Xiuyan couldn't control her emotions and grabbed her shoulders, shaking desperately, "You Tell me, what's the matter with you! Do you want to read the book! Are you with that..." "No!!!" Only then did Qu Xiaoyu react, and he retorted loudly.

The head teacher was taken aback. Since Qu Xiaoyu came back, this was the first sentence she said.

Qu Xiaoyu continued: "I went to my classmate's house last night, and slept at my classmate's house after the dormitory door was closed."

"Which classmate? Tell me, which classmate!" Lin Xiuyan's voice was terribly sharp, as if it was going to pierce the eardrum.

At this point, she was almost sure that her daughter was with that person last night, and she felt a sense of powerlessness.

The chubby homeroom teacher could tell that Lin Xiuyan was in a bad mood, and the mother and daughter would definitely quarrel, so she had no choice but to smooth things over and say, "It's fine as long as people are fine, Qu Xiaoyu, the school rules that you can't stay out at night, and it's also for the sake of For the sake of your personal safety, you are still young, what should you do if something happens outside, right..."

The head teacher's persuasiveness and persuasion did not reach Lin Xiuyan's ears at all.The more she looked at Qu Xiaoyu's indifferent and unrepentant expression, the more annoyed she felt, angry and anxious.Ever since she learned of that incident, her nerves have been tense, and she is on the verge of collapse at any moment.She whispered eagerly in Qu Xiaoyu's ear: "Don't associate with those dubious people, do you know that! They will lead you down!"

"Parents don't need to worry, the teacher trusts Qu Xiaoyu and her..." "I know who I should associate with! You don't need to tell me!"

In this case, it is best not to speak up.Qu Xiaoyu knew this very well, but when she heard her mother describe Lin Youqi as "nothing, no four", she uncontrollably felt a huge revulsion in her heart.It's like something that I really like, and others can't understand it, and even slander it.

"..." Lin Xiuyan was speechless, as her daughter turned her head and looked at her fiercely.

"Either Qu Xiaoyu should go back and rest for a day, what do you think?" The homeroom teacher obviously didn't want to take this matter on his own head, it would be better for their family to resolve it internally, everyone was happy and relaxed.

Lin Xiuyan heard the words, but her face showed embarrassment: "Here, Xiaoyu is already in the third grade of junior high school, so it's not good to rest at such a critical time, it will affect his grades..."

"It's okay, she's not in good condition now, which also affects her studies," said the class teacher, "And Qu Xiaoyu's grades have always been very good, so let's take a day off and adjust."

Qu Xiaoyu was really bored staying in the office, so he suddenly turned and walked out: "I'll wait for you outside."

"You..." Lin Xiuyan wanted to say something, but the head teacher stopped her and said, "Children are under a lot of pressure at this time, and some bad reactions are normal. Parents, please clear up... Qu Xiaoyu's grades are very good, and he will definitely be able to do well in the future." She went to a very good high school and university, and I don’t want her to have any record of this matter, I will deal with this matter with the school, just say that she asked for leave to go home, and the parents will cooperate and let her adjust.”

"Okay, okay, thank you teacher! Thank you so much, teacher!" Lin Xiuyan said, her nose sore, she turned and chased outside, "Then I'll take her home first."

"Ok."

When she chased him out, Qu Xiaoyu leaned against the fence of the corridor, looking at the dull sky in the distance.The daughter who was cheerful and sunny in the past would also show such a gloomy expression at some point, as if she was full of thoughts.

It's all that person's fault!

Lin Xiuyan tried her best to lower her voice, and said angrily in her ear: "If you continue like this, you will only be transferred to another school, do you know that! Your father is now laid off and the family has no money! There is no money for you to fall in love with a pervert at school !"

"What nonsense are you talking..." Qu Xiaoyu became even more angry, "What a pervert! Why do you say that about my friend!"

"Is that a friend! Is that a friend!!!" The more she said, the louder her voice became.

The corridor was originally so quiet that a needle could be heard, only the sound of the teacher teaching from the classroom came from time to time.The conversation between the two of them attracted many people to look out.

How old is Lin Xiuyan? She suppressed her anger, her eyes turned red, she grabbed Qu Xiaoyu's wrist, and walked towards the stairs: "Follow me home!"

"Don't pull me! Don't pull!" Qu Xiaoyu desperately resisted while grabbing her hand.

With a "pop", both of them fell silent.

When Lin Xiuyan came back to her senses, Qu Xiaoyu had already been slapped by her and turned her head sideways, her hair almost covered her entire face, it took a long while to raise her head to look at her, but she stopped talking.

There were doubts, surprises, and...disgust in her eyes.

She never expected that she would lose control of her temper and hit her daughter. Still in front of so many people in the classroom, Lin Xiuyan's voice softened: "Go home with mom first, we can talk about anything at home... ..."

Qu Xiaoyu covered his face and sneered: "I have nothing to talk to you about, if you want to hit you, hit you."

"I didn't want to hit you..." "You hit me!"

The little girl in front of her looked like a stranger.Lin Xiuyan didn't say any more, she pulled her away, and Qu Xiaoyu didn't resist any more. There was a suffocating silence between mother and daughter, and they got on the bus home.

Shen Yizhuo had something to do this weekend, so Qu Zhe just stayed at home and read a book.Shen Yizhuo didn't say what he was busy with, and he was also used to not asking questions, and would only do it obediently and according to the other party's wishes.

He and Shen Yizhuo seemed to be tied together, as long as there was time, they would definitely stay together.

Qu Zhe enjoys the time they are alone together, even if they don't talk to each other and read a book quietly, they will feel happy.

Near noon, Qu Zhe put down his book and stretched himself.Before he got up in the morning, Lin Xiuyan had already gone out. Logically speaking, she was supposed to go shopping, but she hasn't come back yet.

He went out of the room to pour water, just at this moment, the door lock made a slight sound, and then the door opened.Qu Zhe said, "Mom, are you back?"

"...Hmm." Lin Xiuyan said hoarsely.

Qu Zhe walked over with a water glass in his hand, but saw an unexpected person.Qu Xiaoyu was hanging his head, changing shoes behind Lin Xiuyan, his whole body exuded low air pressure.He also knew about making up lessons in the third year of junior high school, and he couldn't think of the reason for the scene in front of him. When Qu Xiaoyu changed his shoes and was about to go to his room, he passed by Qu Zhe, and he clearly saw the swelling on his sister's face. palm prints.

Although Lin Xiuyan was irritable, she seldom hit anyone, especially after the two of them became sensible, they almost never hit anyone again.

"Xiaoyu... why are you back?"

"She was not in the dormitory last night! The teacher called me early in the morning..."

"Oh!"

Qu Xiaoyu went straight back to the room and slammed the door shut.

Lin Xiuyan finally couldn't hold back any longer, she stepped forward and slammed the door vigorously, cursing: "If you want to continue being a pervert! Get out! Why did I give birth to something like you!!!"

While cursing, she couldn't help crying, and there was a crying voice in the scolding: "You can forget about friends with boys! How can you like girls! You..."

"Mom... don't cry yet..." Qu Zhe coaxed softly, but he didn't think anything about the current situation.

If I guessed correctly, Qu Xiaoyu must have spent the night with that senior Lin.But what position does he have to speak? He himself sleeps at Shen Yizhuo's house every weekend.

Even knowing that he is not normal, Lin Xiuyan's scolding words seemed to be scolding him every word. He was sincerely guilty, and he was even more sure that the matter between him and Shen Yizhuo should not be known by anyone.

But Lin Xiuyan couldn't listen to anything now, she kept knocking on the door, twisting the locked doorknob, without stopping: "Come out, you are really... how can you be a pervert! Come out and I will Now take you to the hospital for treatment!"

"Mom—" Qu Zhe pulled her weakly. The crazy woman seemed to have endless power in her thin body, and she couldn't pull her away at all.

"Tell me! Whose bastard raised it! You want to infect my daughter with this kind of thing...I..." She cried out of breath, and still wanted to say, "Did you talk to me last night? That woman stayed overnight! Did she do anything to you?! Talk to me!! Qu Xiaoyu!!!"

"Mom, stop talking..."

"Shameless!! Shameless!!" Lin Xiuyan scolded angrily, "Does she have no parents! Does her parents care about her!!"

Lin Xiuyan was almost leaning on the door. At this moment, the door opened suddenly, and she almost fell down. Qu Xiaoyu stood in front of the door with a livid face and said, "Have you scolded enough?!"

"Xiaoyu, please stop talking..."

"Qu Zhe, why are you pretending to be a good person! Isn't it your mother who will know?!" Qu Xiaoyu continued to speak to Lin Xiuyan with tears all over his face, "Stop scolding her, I like her! I'm just a pervert Already! I just love her!!!"

"I just like girls!"

The heavy anti-theft door suddenly made a sound, followed by a "squeak--", panting heavily, without changing his shoes, Qu Yihao strode in and asked with a low growl, "What are you arguing about?"

There was no sound at home.

Qu Yihao was supposed to eat at the construction site, but Lin Xiuyan didn't deliver the meal today, and he was reluctant to eat boxed lunch outside, so he ran home during the lunch break.

He had just walked to the door when he heard earth-shattering crying and cursing inside.

"Qu Xiaoyu! What did you mean just now?" He pushed Lin Xiuyan away, stood in front of Qu Xiaoyu, and glared at her.

The momentum of yelling at his mother just now disappeared, and Qu Xiaoyu was sobbing, unable to speak for a while.Qu Yihao turned to look at Qu Zhe again and asked, "What did your sister just say?"

"No, I didn't say anything..." Qu Zhe looked away, not daring to look directly at his father.

"What does it mean to like girls?" Qu Yihao asked in a deep voice, "Say it again."

The matter could not be concealed anymore, Qu Xiaoyu lowered his head and stared at his toes, and answered this question with a voice almost like a mosquito: "I just like girls."

It was too late to say it, but it was too fast, before she finished speaking, Qu Yihao raised his hand and slapped her across the face.There are thousands of differences in physique between him and Lin Xiuyan, this slap made Qu Xiaoyu unable to stand at all, and fell to the ground on the spot.

"Tell me again."

"Old Qu! Don't hit her! How can she stand it!!!" Lin Xiuyan hurried to stop her, but was thrown away by Qu Yihao, who then repeated the question: "Say it again."

Qu Xiaoyu was so frightened that he burst into tears on the ground.

The whole Qu family was flying like dogs and dogs, and Qu Zhe stood where he was, not knowing whether to stop Qu Yihao or help Qu Xiaoyu up.

No one expected that Lin Xiuyan was in the kitchen but heard the movement in the room; no one expected that Qu Yihao would not go home at noon, but today he went home for dinner because he wanted to save money.No one expected that Qu Xiaoyu would fall in love with a girl; Qu Zhe also did not expect that he would fall in love with a boy.

All the uncovered and unrevealed secrets are mixed and surging, like a bottomless vortex, slowly dragging the four members of this family down, beyond redemption.
