This Beta is too salty

Gu Xin's family set off in a hurry. They didn't have a direct flight to Guoluo City in the city that day, so they had to make a transit somewhere, which took longer than the direct flight. After landing, they took a taxi to their grandparents' house.

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu lived with Gu Xin’s second uncle. The main businesses of the Gu family’s company are in the country, but Gu’s father prefers the domestic environment and has been staying in the country to explore the domestic market. The family is doing well in the country. , there are not many relatives, and there are few things. I will fly to the country to reunite with my family on important holidays.

Gu Xin's father is the eldest, with a younger sister and a younger brother.

Gu Xin’s aunt married a reporter who was from China. They had two children together. Last year, Gu Xin’s uncle died in an accident. His father often came to see his sister and brought their family together. Go out to play, the right is to relax.

The second uncle is also married, and the marriage partner is a male Omega. They currently only have one child, because Gu Xin, the little cousin, is born with a bad heart and is still too young to undergo surgery, so he is often inseparable from others.

They rushed over this time because they were afraid that the second uncle and aunt would not be able to take care of them.

The Gu family has a lot going on this year.

After Gu Xin and the others came over, the second uncle told them to rest first and not rush to the hospital. Grandpa Gu is in the ICU, and now he is nowhere to be seen in the hospital. He has undergone a craniotomy, and all signs are normal now.

After Gu Xin's family and second uncle's house settled down, they immediately charged their mobile phones, connected to the Internet, and then sent a message to Jiang Chen.

After leaving Lancheng, the environment and people have changed, and I'm still not used to it all at once.

It was only half a city away from Jiang Chen before, but now it is separated by more than half the world, and my heart feels empty.

Jiang Chen: What time is it over there?

Gu Xin: At [-] o'clock in the morning, we transit in other countries, seven or eight hours longer than the direct flight.

Jiang Chen: It's been a long time. How is your grandfather?

Gu Xin: The hospital had an emergency operation and is now in the ICU, probably staying for a while.

Jiang Chen: Then he's done, and you can go home.

Gu Xin: It depends on the situation. I should go back as soon as possible.

In fact, Gu Xin is also a little uncertain, because next weekend will be Christmas, and the country will have a holiday. The second uncle and aunt may have Christmas. If grandpa is still in the hospital, it is impossible for their family Returning home.

Of course, Jiang Chen also knew about the situation of the Gu family, and he was sure that the old man's health was the most important thing. He just couldn't see Gu Xin for a while.

Jiang Chen didn't tell Gu Xin about playing games at the Internet cafe tonight, and took a copy of the notes he made today for him when he got home.

Gu Xin sent him an emoji package made by himself: Chenchen is awesome.

Jiang Chen: Hurry up and write it down by yourself, wasting my good time sleeping!

Gu Xin: I will bring you a gift when I go back.

He sometimes stays at school to do homework and ask Jiang Chen to take notes because he has his own thoughts. When he studies, Jiang Chen will follow suit. As long as he can learn, it is a good thing. From current observations, his plan is effective. Jiang Chen can completely keep up with the teacher's lessons, and he can also do the exam questions. He has to work harder and subtly help Jiang Chen lay the foundation. As long as his grades can go up, the college entrance examination will definitely not be a problem.

Jiang Chen was happy, and slept soundly at night, and dreamed that Gu Xin brought him a cartful of gifts, he could have whatever he wanted, and he didn't have to go to school.

The next morning, he was woken up by the alarm clock for going to school, and his dream of not going to school was shattered.

Still have to go to school.

Probably because he slept well last night and went to bed early, Jiang Chen arrived at school 10 minutes earlier today, Liu Sen saw him and couldn't help but give him a second look.

Liu Sen: "Is the sun coming out from the west? Are you here so early today?"

"Surprised?" Jiang Chen took out his morning English textbook and the homework due today.

"Yeah." Liu Sen said, "Have you changed your sex? Have you started working hard?"

However, Jiang Chen did well in the exam even when he slept every day.

"That's not it, it's just that I got up early by accident today." Jiang Chen flipped through an English book that was no longer brand new.

When he was in the nineteenth middle school, after one semester, his books were brand new, but after coming to the third middle school, he found that the books seemed to have become old. Has he worked so hard this semester?I can't remember exactly when I turned it over.

Without Gu Xin, Jiang Chen's back was still empty. Several times after class, he wanted to turn around and talk to Gu Xin, but there was no one behind him. He was really not used to it.

There was a time difference between the two, Jiang Chen went to school during the day, Gu Xin went to bed in the early hours of the night, Jiang Chen went to bed, Gu Xin just woke up, and the two of them only exchanged one or two messages a day.

Jiang Chen's life is basically fixed, and there is nothing interesting to say. Gu Xin goes to the hospital with his family every day. Grandpa Gu has good news. He wakes up and can be transferred to the general ward to slowly raise him up. In addition to being well cared for, there is no relaxation.

Gu Xin's family will still stay in the country. Gu's father and Gu's mother mean that the family will come back after spending Christmas there.

This is the same as Gu Xin's initial guess.

However, he already thought about celebrating Jiang Chen's birthday before Christmas.

Jiang Chen's birthday happened to be the day before Christmas.

Gu Xin was very embarrassed.

Seeing that Jiang Chen's birthday was getting closer, he also became anxious.

The good news is that Grandpa Gu is awake. He has no major problems and can talk, but the doctor doesn't let him move around or get up.The family has hired a nurse, so we don't have to go to the hospital every day. Cerebral hemorrhage is a troublesome thing. Grandpa Gu can't move around, and someone has to watch him. The three brothers and sisters of the Gu family take turns to take care of him.

Grandpa Gu had nothing else to do during the day, so he asked Gu Xin what to do with his studies?

Gu Xin said that asking for a few days off will not affect his study progress.

Grandpa Gu asked him if he wanted to study abroad in the future.

Gu Xin shook his head resolutely. Every year their family came to China, they always thought about asking Gu Xin to stay in the country, but Gu Xin's answer became more firm every time.

He still prefers to stay at home.

This time, Grandpa Gu didn’t know what he was thinking. Gu Xin firmly said that he would not stay in China to study. Grandpa Gu just smiled and said thoughtfully that he wanted to return to China for the elderly. For the convenience, I told him that I like to eat hot pot with friends in winter, eat grilled fish, etc., and told him that Grandpa Gu, who can only eat hospital meals every day, was greedy.

In fact, Grandpa Gu’s sudden cerebral hemorrhage this time was also due to being angry. Gu Xin did not ask about the specific process, but it may be related to the country’s racial discrimination.

After Grandpa Gu's spirit got better and better, he made a decision.

It's only Christmas this year, and he wants to go back to China for the New Year. He has stayed in China for so many years, and he still misses the food in China even more. He doesn't know how the country is doing now.

At first, Father Gu and Uncle Gu thought that the old man was just talking about it, but later learned from Grandma Gu that Grandpa Gu must have been stimulated. The three brothers and sisters had a secret meeting, and finally decided to fulfill the old man's wish Besides, Grandma Gu actually wanted to go back to China a long time ago.

Aunt Gu Xin is also sad to stay in the country, so she might as well go back to the country to change the environment and bring her two children who have not yet grown up to the country. A very good heart surgeon can also cure Gu Xin's cousin's congenital heart disease. All in all, it's a good deal.

It's just that it will take time to arrange it, so we have to wait until Grandpa Gu is out of the hospital. Gu Xin's family has to go back and prepare a house for the two elders.

It seems to be busy again for a while.

Gu Xin saw that his grandfather was getting better and better every day. Because of the racial discrimination, Grandpa Gu said quite stubbornly that Christmas would not be this year.

Of course, this is just an angry word. There are several children in the family. The adults don't want to think about it. The children are still waiting for Christmas gifts with pure hearts.

Gu Xin didn't feel much about Christmas. He took some time to go shopping in the urban area. For the first time, he found that shopping could make his legs sore. He couldn't imagine how his aunt would go shopping in high heels all day. She loves shopping. Omegas are really powerful.

Of course, Gu Xin bought a suitable gift, but what followed was a difficult moment.

He wondered if he could return to Lancheng on Jiang Chen's birthday?

It has been nearly two weeks since Gu Xin left.

Jiang Chen has also been salty for two weeks. He was even more lazy this week and even skipped the training of the basketball team. Later, it was Teacher Jia who went to class to catch him to complete the training of the basketball team. But the training was so boring. Xin will come back to school, he quit a long time ago.

On the way home from school, the surrounding larger supermarkets or convenience stores brought the atmosphere of the show.

The closer Christmas was, the more Jiang Chen was reminded that his birthday was approaching.

No need to remind, he already knew.

Tomorrow will be.

His birthday is easy to remember. Wei Meng has already discussed with the big coffee to give it to him. December 24 happens to be Christmas Eve, and it also happens to be Friday. They can go out to celebrate their birthday after school. Jiang Yibo offered to contribute Birthday party venue.

Jiang Chen didn't have the energy to ask them, what kind of party can they have for their birthday?

Jiang Yibo gave him a breakdown of the things he could do at the party, and not only invited him, Wei Meng and others, but also invited Yang Xiu and other classmates, and even Liu Sen, who had always been immersed in his studies, agreed to play.

This is their last indulgence before the end of term!

Jiang Chen, the righteous master, had to go if he didn't.

As soon as school was over on Friday, everyone went to Jiang Yibai's house. His house was not too far away and could be reached by subway.

As soon as Jiang Chen entered, he saw that his house had obviously been decorated, and all food and drink had been prepared.

The most important thing is the hot pot takeaway!

I have to say it is really convenient.

In fact, everyone just took advantage of Jiang Chen's birthday to get together to play.

Jiang Yibai's house has everything, game consoles, projectors, and a very large game room, which was furnished by Jiang Yibai's uncle, and Wei Meng, who loves to play games, was very happy.

The big guy came a little later, as soon as he arrived, the eyes of Yang Xiulin Berry and the others lit up!

Isn't this the handsome guy who appeared in Jiang Chen's circle of friends?

It turned out to be such a cool Alpha. This gray hair is too domineering. No one in their school dares to dye it. However, this is probably related to the fact that the director of the Academic Affairs Office, Mr. Xu, is too strict. If you dye your hair, he will shave it for you. cold?Don't be afraid, Lao Xu will give you a woolen hat.

Of course, Jiang Chen was not unhappy about eating hot pot on his birthday. He was happy when he was happy, but he didn't enjoy it.

As soon as the big guy came, he burst into joy: "Where's Gu Xin? Why didn't you see him?"

It's really not a pot that doesn't open and a pot to lift.

Jiang Chen took a can of Coke and slurped it down: "He's not here." When Gu Xin wasn't around, no one cared whether he would drink or not, and he could drink Coke as he pleased.

Everyone didn't seem to pay much attention to this point, and continued to be lively. Although the big guy is not familiar with the students in Class [-], he doesn't have a cold face. Will mix a few words.

After one semester, the students in Class [-] are all familiar with it, so of course they have to cheer up!

It didn't matter to Jiang Chen, as long as everyone was happy, he just sat on the sofa and turned his phone on his head. Gu Xin hadn't sent him a message for a day.

This year, he couldn't celebrate his birthday with him, the more Coke Jiang Chen drank, the more tasteless he was.

Somebody started suggesting Truth or Dare, a game that's always been successful at multiplayer parties.

Everyone sits together, they sit together, put an empty wine bottle in the middle, and whoever turns to it will answer the question.

Today's birthday is Jiang Chen, and he has the priority to transfer to the wine bottle.

He was the first to switch to Wei Meng.

Jiang Chen said casually, "Twenty push-ups."

The main reason is that he doesn't have much interest in Wei Meng's gossip.

After completing his task, he continued to stay aside to watch them continue the game, occasionally looking at the phone in his pocket.

Gu Xin is really good at it, forget it if the person doesn't come, and don't even tell him happy birthday, seeing that today's birthday is going to pass in three hours.

I couldn't see anyone before, but at least I could video chat with him, or make an appointment to meet him on weekends. Now it's getting too much, and I don't even have a happy birthday.

Jiang Chen was faintly angry with Gu Xin. Is it so difficult to send a happy birthday message on WeChat?

He didn't pay attention to how other people played the game at all. Everyone was very happy, but he couldn't laugh at all, he just echoed everyone.

Wei Meng turned to Yang Xiu, and then asked a few questions about whether he had an Alpha boyfriend, Yang Xiu said it openly, and then Yang Xiu started to turn the wine bottle, Yang Xiu took a look at the big guy, he Controlled the speed of the wine bottle, then turned to Liu Sen...

Gan.

The fun continued, but the problem was still the same. He casually asked Liu Sen if he had any Omega friends, but Liu Sen hesitated and said yes.

Gan.

It was sent out by a group of people!

As an Alpha, Wei Meng has never handed over an Omega, but Liu Sen has, so envious!

After playing the game for an hour, seeing that the time was getting late, Jiang Yibo felt that it was not safe for the Omegas to go home at night, so he asked them to take a taxi home.

The number of people decreased, and Jiang Chen, Big Ga, and Wei Meng were about to leave. He didn't want to stay any longer, and he still needed to take medicine.

From Jiang Yibai's house to Jiang Chen's house, it only takes two or three stops of the subway. Jiang Chen directly chose the subway. Wei Meng and the big coffee went the same way, and the two took a taxi back.

After the fun was over, Jiang Chen felt even more bored. Walking home alone, he looked at the time displayed on the electronic screen outside the bank. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

The wind outside made his face hurt. He didn't wear a mask or scarf, so he couldn't help shrinking his neck, and continued walking along the wide street towards home.

There was no one on the road at night, even the gate of the community was quite calm, and the security guards were all huddled in the security booth.

Suddenly something like cotton wool floated in front of Jiang Chen's eyes, and when he looked closely, it was snowing.

He stood at the gate for a while watching.

A taxi suddenly stopped in front of him.

He guessed that it was someone from the community, but he didn't pay much attention to it, so he turned around and went home.

The people behind him seemed to be in the same neighborhood as him, and they had been following behind him, Jiang Chen didn't care, thinking they were just going the same way, there were so many people in one building.

He didn't even bother to turn his head now, and it couldn't be Gu Xin.

He didn't wear a mask, and directly opened the downstairs access control with facial recognition, and then he stayed where he was, and didn't go in immediately when the door opened.

The face of the person following him appeared on the access control smart screen, and the eyes of the two met on the screen.

The snow fell on Jiang Chen's hat and he didn't sweep it away, and the other party's hair also fell snow, which seemed much worse than him.

Jiang Chen swung his hat away, turned around and said to the people behind him, "Are you suffering from some serious illness?"

The person who came was none other than Gu Xin who was supposed to be in the country. He swept the snow from his hair and patted the snow on Jiang Chen's shoulder.

He didn't feel cold at all, and chuckled lightly, "I just want to see when you find out it's me."

Jiang Chen didn't have the gloomy expression just now on his face. He smiled openly, and he didn't care that he was standing at the door now. He was stunned for two seconds and threw himself on Gu Xin, hugging Gu Xin for a while!

Jiang Chen said, "Xinbao, did you come here specially to celebrate my birthday?"

Gu Xin could only return Jiang Chen's enthusiasm: "I originally wanted to give you a surprise at Jiang Yibai's house, but I didn't have time, so I took a taxi home and stopped you. Fortunately, I made it!"

Jiang Chen was the first to say happy birthday to him on his 16th birthday, so he will be the last one to say happy birthday to him on Jiang Chen's birthday, and accompany him to complete this birthday together.

Jiang Chen asked: "What if I went home directly? Did I fall asleep?"

Gu Xin was not overwhelmed by the question: "I have your door lock code, I can sneak in to find you."

Jiang Chen let go of his arms, a little shocked: "No, my mother even gave you the password?"

Gu Xin: "...Yes."

But now is not the time to pursue this issue, the two moved from the gate to Gu Xin's house.

Jiang Chen had a stomach full of questions to ask, but he swallowed them all the moment Gu Xin took out the birthday present from the box.

Gu Xin's gift was a small box the size of a palm.

He carefully opened it.

The moment he opened it, Gu Xin squatted in front of him and said, "Chenchen, happy birthday."

Jiang Chen saw the gift inside the small box.
