faint star

Xu Zhiwei said "yes" with a smile on his face, but there was only one thought in his mind - maybe Gu Heng wouldn't talk to him anymore.

Just as Gu Heng guessed, the affairs of his family can be summed up in one sentence.His parents divorced, his mother left, his father remarried, and he and his stepmother gave birth to twins.

When he made up the "disappearance" story for Gu Heng, he never expected to bump into his father.

Gu Heng sullenly.He was angry just now, and he really wanted to catch Xu Zhiwei's father, thinking that he could get some "justice" for Xu Zhiwei.But I didn't expect the fact that it was just a divorce, and I almost broke out in public.

So his face is still not very good now.

Gu Xin carefully looked at their expressions.

When something like this happened, everyone was in a bad mood.When they left the mall, they disbanded on the spot.But before leaving, Gu Heng called Xu Zhiwei to stop, he glanced at Gu Xin: "You go ahead and wait for me, don't eavesdrop."

Seeing his younger brother walk away, Gu Heng asked Xu Zhiwei in a deep voice: "Why did you lie and say that your father is missing? You are angry? It's fun to play tricks on people?"

Xu Zhiwei's forced smile disappeared.

Do you want him to explain seriously?He himself didn't know why he lied that day.Maybe then he just wanted to let off steam.Maybe he wanted to see Gu Heng's reaction.

"I didn't intend to play tricks on you." Only this point, Xu Zhiwei can be 100% sure.

Gu Heng still looked at him.

Xu Zhiwei said: "Maybe, to me, his divorce is similar to his disappearance."

Gu Heng was silent for a moment, then reached out and rubbed the back of Xu Zhiwei's head.

His palm brushed against Xu Zhiwei's ear, like a wordless forgiveness.

Then he dropped his hands and turned to leave.

After Xu Zhiwei returned home, he was restless.He thought that if he ran into his dad in the mall today, maybe his dad would call and ask the teacher for his crimes.Maybe I will come and scold him.

But until the evening, when Xu Zhiwei made dinner, finished eating, took a shower, and fell asleep, the phone never rang, and no one came to scold him.

It seems that the chance encounter in the mall is just a trivial matter.Xu Zhiwei's father didn't even bother to argue with the eldest son.

The next morning, Xu Zhiwei finally calmed down.He also felt that it didn't matter-it was really a trivial matter.It's normal for his father not to come to him.

At this time the landline phone rang.

Xu Zhiwei almost jumped out of bed to answer the phone: "Hello?"

"Zhiwei," it was Gu Heng's voice, "What, are you waiting for someone's call?"

Xu Zhiwei concealed his voice: "No one..."

He was also very happy when Gu Heng called. It was a surprise.He thought that Gu Heng would not take the initiative to contact him again.

Gu Heng asked him what arrangements he had, if he wanted to come out to play.

Xu Zhiwei asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"

Gu Heng laughed: "I was a little angry yesterday. It's funny to think about it today. Always get angry about one thing, is that still a man? Your dad didn't scold you, did he?"

Xu Zhiwei's heart felt bitter and sweet, and he said, "No, no."

Grandpa is here again

Hall asked loudly, "Who are you calling?"

Xu Zhiwei lowered his voice and urged Gu Heng to hang up the phone: "I can't call for too long."

Gu Heng laughed: "Why? Your father is not missing."

Xu Zhiwei can only tell the truth: "My grandpa thinks I'm wasting phone bills by calling, and he's super economical..."

He didn't tell Gu Heng that the air conditioner was not turned on in their house until now.

After that day, he played with Gu Heng again.

They often rode Gu Heng's little electric donkey together, strolling all over the streets and alleys.Sometimes they would take Gu Xin with them, but Gu Heng seldom talked to him, but Xu Zhiwei talked to him more.

Gu Xin is not as strong as his brother, but soft-tempered.Xu Zhiwei picked up a lot of words casually, but what he was most interested in was of course the matter about Gu Heng.

It turned out that Gu Xin was studying high school in a private school, one grade lower than them.

That private school is the best and most expensive private school in the city. It can go straight from kindergarten to high school. It's not surprising that Gu Xin went to school there.The strange thing is that Gu Heng didn't go.

Gu Xin vaguely said that it seemed to be related to Gu Heng's fight in junior high school.Because he made too many enemies in the private junior high school, Gu Heng was unwilling to go straight to the middle school and be with those people in high school, so he took the senior high school entrance examination and got into the public key high school No. [-].

When Gu Xin talked about this matter, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "People who were beaten by my brother have some weight in their families. One of them is the son of a big boss in the next city. Although everything was settled later, but because of this Well, dad is very disappointed with brother."

Xu Zhiwei asked, "Why did your brother beat them?"

Gu Xin was very surprised: "It's not important, is it? The point is that he hit someone! No matter what, people shouldn't hit people!"

Xu Zhiwei understood why Gu Heng said his brother was Ma Ma's good boy.

He believed in Gu Heng.

He had personally experienced what happened to Chen Ziyan, and he knew how easy it is for adults to misunderstand them.

Gu Heng is not the kind of person who bullies his classmates. Whether he actually hit someone is a question. Even if he did, Xu Zhiwei believes that he has a reasonable reason.

He believed in Gu Heng from the bottom of his heart.

So Xu Zhiwei found an opportunity and pretended to be casual and asked Gu Heng: "I heard that when you were in junior high school, several people couldn't beat you with one against five. Why did you beat them?"

Gu Heng was silent for a moment, and said: "They bullied a student who received a scholarship. That person's family is not good, and he can only study in our school with the school's funding. I can't see it."

Xu Zhiwei couldn't help smiling, it really is so!

He thought of Chen Ziyan that day, he was lucky to escape from the stairs.

Gu Heng quickly realized: "Did Gu Xin tell you about this? He has such a big mouth. He not only has to report my matter to Mom, but also to you." Rubbing Xu Zhiwei's hair.

Ever since Gu Heng rubbed his head for the first time on the day of watching a movie, he began to touch his hair from time to time.

Xu Zhiwei grabbed his hand: "Why do you keep rubbing my head?"

Gu Heng smiled apologetically

Smile: "I don't know, your hair is of very good quality, it feels soft to the touch."

He quickly pulled away.

The summer vacation is coming to an end.In mid-August, Gu Heng told Xu Zhiwei that the whole family was going on a trip, so they couldn't come and play with Xu Zhiwei.

Xu Zhiwei asked him where he was traveling.

Gu Heng said: "Mediterranean, go for two weeks. See you at the beginning of school."

With more than ten days left, Xu Zhiwei finished his summer vacation homework so-so.This is the first time he has been so perfunctory with his holiday homework, and he didn't finish it until the end of the holiday.

Xu Zhiwei didn't see Gu Heng on the day when the journal was due.When he went to the bathroom, he made a detour and passed by Class [-].

He didn't know where Gu Heng's seat was, but he guessed based on his height, it must be in the last row.There was a table vacant there.

He asked the classmates in Class [-] he knew: "Is Gu Heng there?"

The classmate told him: "It seems that he didn't come today."

For the first time, Xu Zhiwei felt that it was so inconvenient not to have a mobile phone, and wanted a mobile phone.

However, on the first day of registration, the class has not officially started.Today I just hand in homework, clean up, and distribute textbooks and handouts.This year they were promoted to the third year of senior high school, and the courses were basically finished. This year was all about reviewing and doing papers.

The head teacher, Lao Chen, also sent a few notices to parents for the students to take home and sign.

Notice of safety education, notice of evening self-study time for senior high school students, and notice of payment.

As a public high school, the tuition and supplementary fees of No. [-] Middle School are not high.Xu Zhiwei looked at the figure, the money he had been saving was barely enough to pay.As long as grandpa doesn't ask, he plans to use the money he saved to pay for tuition.

But after returning home from school, the old man Xu immediately asked about it: "Do you have to pay the tuition fee?"

Xu Zhiwei said: "I still have a little money, enough to pay."

Old man Xu interrupted him aggressively: "No! Go and ask your father! He is so rich, why doesn't he pay your tuition fees? You should also pay for food and living expenses, go! Go!"

He chased Xu Zhiwei out.

Holding the notice, Xu Zhiwei walked out of the community, crossed the road, and walked into the opposite community.

It's only 5 minutes away, but he hasn't been here for almost half a year.

In Dad's new home, Xu Zhiwei only comes when he needs money.So it seemed that he was extremely unpopular.

After ringing the doorbell, it was the stepmother's voice: "Who is it?"

Hearing Xu Zhiwei's answer, the doorbell was quiet for a moment, and the door was opened for him silently.

Dad wasn't home, just the stepmother and twin siblings in the living room.The two children were at the cutest time when they were in the middle class of kindergarten. They watched cartoons with relish, saw Xu Zhiwei who didn't know him well, and didn't call him brother.

Xu Zhiwei showed the notice to his stepmother: "All the expenses add up, and I have to pay 750 in total. And my food expenses for the past few months..."

The stepmother read the notice carefully several times before slowly going to get the bag and take out the wallet.

She said: "Look, our family is different from other families.

There are two babies in the family, and I have to buy an extra copy of everything, which is too expensive.Your dad and I are paid dead wages, so it's not easy to save some money. "

Xu Zhiwei pretended not to see the toys in the living room and the newly bought large glass fish tank.

He took the money and said in a low voice, "Then I'm leaving."

As soon as Xu Zhiwei left, the stepmother pushed open the door of the study and complained to the man inside: "You always make me a villain. That's your son, okay? Next time you will deal with him."

Xu Wenkang was reading a book without even raising his eyelids: "I have nothing to say to him. You saw it last time, he is now mixing with some dubious people, just like his flamboyant mother, How do you look like me?"

At this moment Xu Zhiwei was crossing the road and returning the same way.

It was dark and the stars dimmed.Walking to the corner of the hidden green belt, he finally couldn't help squatting down and hugging himself.

Every time he went to that house, only his stepmother was at home, and Xu Wenkang was always "working overtime", "entertaining" and "something" not at home.Thaksin once or twice, many times, how can he deceive himself?

Xu Zhiwei thought, so he told Gu Heng that his father "disappeared".He would rather his father be missing.
