The green tea group is spoiled
Chapter 56
Xie Beiyuan rubbed Gu He's hair, and let him hug him without saying anything.
He learned the whole story from Su Yu today. After hearing it, Xie Beiyuan couldn't tell what it was like. He just felt lucky.
Fortunately, I didn't choose to stay away from Gu He at the beginning, and it's also fortunate that I am the one who is by Gu He's side now.If I can make Gu He feel at ease, even if it's only a little bit, it's good.
"Gu He."
Silent for a long time, Xie Beiyuan lowered his eyes and said as if pointing something:
"Do not blame you."
He could clearly feel the person in his arms stiffen, but it was only for a short moment, and soon he heard Gu He's response.
Gu He's tone was light, and he didn't seem to be so surprised,? He just asked:
"You knew already?"
"Ah."
Gu He's thoughts went blank for a moment.
Since that incident happened, some people will blame Gu He for the fault, but most people will still comfort him, say they don't blame him, and tell him to let go.
But Gu He couldn't do it, and he didn't dare to say it, he could only continue to pretend to be calm, and only he himself knew how cowardly he was.
Now hearing Xie Beiyuan mention this matter again, Gu He's eyes were a little sore, and his sight was once again blocked by the rising water vapor.
In the end, he still couldn't hold back his tears, so he pushed Xie Beiyuan away, and shrank back into the quilt like an ostrich.
"Gu He, come out."
Xie Beiyuan looked at the big ball under the quilt, and called Gu He's name helplessly.
"No,? I'm crying!"
Gu He felt that it was too embarrassing for a big man to cry like this. He didn't want Xie Beiyuan to see him, so he pressed the corner of the quilt tighter, but when he spoke, he was still crying, which sounded a bit funny.
"I don't laugh at you."
Having said that, Xie Beiyuan couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his lips.
Gu He happened to poke his head out to take a look at this time, his eyes were red like a rabbit, and he was somewhat aggrieved when he saw Xie Beiyuan's smile:
"fraud."
After that, he wanted to retract his head like a turtle, but was caught by Xie Beiyuan.
Xie Beiyuan rolled over and held Gu He down, not letting him hide, nor giving him a chance to struggle.Gu He raised his hands to cover his face, but both hands were held by Xie Beiyuan.
"What?"
Gu He asked fiercely, like a hedgehog whose hair has exploded.It might have been more deterrent if it hadn't been crying.
His skin was fair, and when he cried, the eye circles and the tip of his nose were red, which made people feel distressed.
Xie Beiyuan's eyes were a little dark, he looked at it for a while, then slowly lowered his head, and kissed away the tears from the corners of his eyes very gently.
Gu He was tickled by him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xie Beiyuan raised his hand to brush away Gu He's hair, looked down at him, and said slowly and seriously:
"Everything will pass, don't be afraid, I'll take it slowly with you."
Gu He nodded, he had something to say, but felt that he was so nasty.
However, anyway, it is for Xie Beiyuan to listen to, so it doesn't matter if it's gross:
"With you, I'm not afraid."
When Xie Beiyuan heard this, his smile deepened. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of Gu He's lips lightly, saying:
"Contact me as soon as possible in the future. Gu He, I will always be here."
After finishing speaking, he let go of Gu He, rolled over and lay beside him.
Gu He looked at the ceiling in a daze for a while, and after recovering, he stretched out his fingers and hooked the corner of Xie Beiyuan's clothes.
Then, he restlessly drew circles on Xie Beiyuan's waist, but he was caught by the hand within a few strokes.
Gu He felt a little guilty, so he moved to the side, put his pillow on Xie Beiyuan's arm, and asked:
"Are you going home today?"
"No, stay with you."
Xie Beiyuan was flipping through the school forum, when he saw Gu He approaching, he naturally turned off the phone screen and threw it aside.
Gu He didn't notice Xie Beiyuan's actions, he was upset about another thing:
"Xie Beiyuan, you know, I got into trouble today."
The "causing trouble" that Gu He refers to does not mean fighting, and Xie Beiyuan also knows what he means.
"I also contradicted the director of teaching affairs. If you didn't see it, he was so angry that his glasses were crooked."
Gu He, this little heartless one, was still laughing, but his voice gradually became weaker as he smiled, and he sighed:
"Do you think they will hate me?"
Probably yes, Gu He thought.
After all, people get angry when they find out they've been cheated on.
"Why do I hate you?"
Sometimes Gu He is like a kid who has just entered kindergarten, even the questions he asks are so innocent and cute, Xie Beiyuan also patiently explains to him one by one.
"because……"
Gu He seemed to be thinking about the reason, and his voice also stopped.
Xie Beiyuan waited for a long time but there was no reply, so he turned his head and took a look, only to find that this guy had fallen asleep at some point.
Xie Beiyuan looked at it for a while, then gently moved the man to the pillow, and covered him with the quilt again.
He placed a light kiss on Gu He's forehead, and when he got up, he saw his mobile phone was on, so he turned off the bedside lamp, and went to the living room with his mobile phone.
The call was from Gu Lan. After the call was connected, Gu Lan's voice came out of the receiver, seeming a little tired:
"Beiyuan, how is Xiaohe?"
This afternoon, Zhou Jia and Qi Wen called Gu Lan one after another, and the Gu He in their words was somewhat different from the Gu He that Gu Lan knew.
"He's fine, he's asleep."
Xie Beiyuan sat on the sofa in the living room, picked up the photos on the coffee table and glanced at them while talking on the phone.
The three children in the photo are hugging each other and laughing happily. The girl named Gu Miao looks very similar to Gu He, even the curvature of her smile is somewhat similar.
"Xiaohe's art teacher called me today. He said that Xiaohe was going to quit the competition because he has a serious stress disorder and can't draw characters. Is... is it true?"
Xie Beiyuan was a little surprised that Gu Lan didn't even know about it.
He paused for a moment and replied:
"Yes."
There was a long silence on the phone, and when she spoke again, Gu Lan's voice was a little choked:
"I see. There are less than two weeks before the school's winter vacation. I asked Xiaohe for leave. He can go whenever he wants, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to. I'm sorry to trouble you during this time."
Xie Beiyuan put the photo back to its original position and replied:
"No trouble, it should be."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Beiyuan sat alone for a long time.
He saw a toy gun lying on the ground in the distance, so he went to pick it up, wiped off the dust on it, and held it in his hand to look at it for a while.
He remembered that Xie Beichen liked these things very much when he was a child, and he would bother him with these things all day long, and every day he boasted that he would be a superhero who would save the world in the future.
At that time, he thought Xie Beichen was noisy, but now that he thinks about it, if Gu He was so silly and carefree when he was a child, it would be quite cute.
Xie Beiyuan looked at the toy gun in his hand, thought about many things, and fell asleep very late.Early the next morning, he opened his eyes to see Gu He lying beside him.
This guy seemed to be hesitating about something, and it took a long time before he gritted his teeth and said:
"Xie Beiyuan, I have a showdown, I'm just a coward, I don't want to go to school!"
Gu He felt like a kid throwing a temper tantrum, and he pretended a lot of reasons in his heart, waiting for Xie Beiyuan to move out and go back when Xie Beiyuan asked him why, but the results of his hard thinking all morning were of no use.
Because Xie Beiyuan didn't say anything, just pressed his head:
"Then don't go."
Gu He lay on Xie Beiyuan's chest, and could vaguely hear his heartbeat.
Today happens to be a rare sunny day in winter. The sun shines in through the windows. It is not as hot as summer, but it still has the warmth of melting snow.
Gu He fell asleep in Xie Beiyuan's arms again, and then Xie Beiyuan sent Gu He home, and went to school by himself in the afternoon.
After saying goodbye to Xie Beiyuan, when he went upstairs, Gu He's heart was beating. He was wondering if the dean called Gu Lan in the end, and how he should explain to her when Gu Lan asked her at night.
But to Gu He's surprise, Gu Lan, who has always been busy with work, was at home today, which caught Gu He off guard.
But Gu Lan's expression was as usual, she didn't ask anything, she even wore a newly bought bear apron around her waist, holding a spatula in her hand, opened the door and glanced behind Gu He:
"Where's Beiyuan?"
Gu He was a little confused: "He's gone."
"Tsk." Gu Lan looked a little dissatisfied, hating iron for not becoming steel:
"You kid, even if you're in a relationship, you don't know how to let your partner come to our house for a meal."
"?"
Gu He felt a little bit crazy:
Whose mother would want to entertain her child's puppy love so enthusiastically? Hey!
Of course Gu He didn't say this, he obediently changed his shoes and entered the door, and was stunned when he saw the dishes on the table:
"Mom, did you do this?"
Gu Lan untied her apron and proudly said:
"Of course, try it quickly, is it delicious?"
Gu He was somewhat flattered, because Gu Lan hadn't cooked so many dishes in person for a long, long time due to work.
He went to wash his hands, and when he came out, he still asked tentatively:
"You didn't go to work today?"
Gu Lan tied her long curly hair into a ponytail, and "hummed" in dissatisfaction when she heard the words:
"What's there to do with that shitty job? Leave it to others. My son is about to take the college entrance examination. If I don't accompany him, it will be even harder to see him when he goes to college."
Hearing this, Gu He sat down in his seat with downcast eyes, and reached out to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, which is Gu Lan's specialty.
He took a bite, the taste was sour and sweet, it was still the taste in his memory, even the smell of paste after sticking to the pan was exactly the same.
"Is it delicious?" Gu Lan looked at him expectantly.
Gu He smiled and nodded:
"good to eat."
In the next few days, Gu Lan didn't go to work and didn't ask Gu He why he didn't go to school.Gu He guessed that she probably knew about him, but no one exposed it first.
Doing the math, Gu Lan spends more time with Gu He these days than the previous years combined.
As the days passed, Gu He hadn't been to school for a long time, and he almost forgot that he was still a student, so he stayed at home every day to do his homework, wash the dishes, and watch TV with Gu Lan.
I heard from Xie Beiyuan that winter vacation will be after today, and Gu He's guilt of skipping class for half a month finally eased up after hearing the news.
"Okay, everyone is tired of hearing about the safety issues of the winter vacation. I won't say much, just pay attention. This vacation is not long, but don't overplay it. The winter vacation homework starts to check, and if the representatives of all subjects are okay You can leave school."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Jia left the classroom with a bundle in her arms. After she left, there was a burst of cheers in Class [-], and everyone buried their heads in packing their things.
Song Yuanyuan turned her head and looked at the vacant seat in the back seat, feeling a little worried:
"Xie Beiyuan, is Xiaohe okay? Can we go and see him?"
After Gu He asked for leave, Xie Beiyuan, who had managed to attend class on time, became three days of fishing and two days of surfing the net, but today he rarely arrived at the classroom on time and stayed all day.
At this time, Xie Beiyuan looked at her and nodded.He seemed to be thinking about something, and the movement of loading the book was a little slow.
Finally, Xie Beiyuan casually threw his schoolbag aside, got up and went to the podium by himself.
The students who were in a mess soon noticed this side, and the noisy voices gradually quieted down.
Xie Beiyuan has always been a special existence in Class [-]. He doesn't talk much, he is very cold, and he doesn't want to talk to others. Except for those who play well with Gu He, almost no other students have talked to him, let alone count on him. Will take the initiative to say something.
But now, that boy was standing on the podium, looking down without blinking or avoiding.
His demeanor was too overwhelming, those who didn't know thought he was going to give some kind of inspiring speech.
But that person did not have the passion of the speaker, and the tone of his mouth was as calm and indifferent as others:
"Sorry to take up everyone's time."
