[R18] Pretending to be a scumbag – “Pretending to be a scumbag” Chapter 118 [English]

Chapter 115 Extra 3

Xie Yu remembered that he only mentioned he and He Chao to Ms. Gu after the college entrance examination.

They have a different relationship with other parents and children. Throughout her senior year of high school, Ms. Gu was more like a candidate “preparing for exams” and her nerves were in a state of tension all day long.

The college entrance examination was not over yet, and Xie Yu didn’t dare to influence her.

“Don’t review too late, take it easy, ah, don’t think too much, just take the test as you usually do.”

Gu Xuelan said, putting vegetables into his bowl: “…Eat more.”

In Ms. Gu’s eyes, Xie Yu, who “revises very late”, would like to say that he basically goes to bed on time at ten o’clock every night and lives a stress-free life.

After Xie Yu finished eating the chopsticks, he changed the subject calmly: “There is someone in the next class who is dating, and I called the parents last week.”

Gu Xuelan is not that kind of rigid parent. She even still has a bit of a little girl’s mentality in her heart. She is very tolerant of the issue of “puppy love”. She usually asks her son if there is anyone he likes and has fallen in love secretly.

It is not incomprehensible that every age group has its unique and precious characteristics.

Hazy, green, passionate and public.

“Young,” Gu Xuelan sighed, “Hey, being young is great.”

After passing the college entrance examination, Gu Xuelan, who said “it’s great to be young”, suffered the most unspeakable impact in more than ten years.

Xie Yu didn’t even have time to change into the school uniform he was wearing. He planned to go to Heishui Street right after taking the exam, and he pulled Gu Xuelan along with him: “Mom, are we going together?”

Gu Xuelan didn’t pay attention to the second part of the sentence. It was rare for her to return to Heishui Street. She also knew that Aunt Mei and the others had spent a lot of time this year, busy changing into simpler clothes, and picked up a few gifts before leaving.

The dinner table was extremely lively.

A table of people sat in the courtyard, enjoying the cool air.

Even though Gu Xuelan was dressed casually, she still couldn’t resist Lei Ma’s trendy pair of men’s big pants: “…”

“These beach shorts belong to Lei Zi’s father,” Lei’s mother raised her legs and smiled, “It’s quite cool.”

Xu Yanmei took the beer bottle directly and lifted the bottle cap with her bare hands. The bottle cap rolled down to the cement floor.She habitually passed the wine forward. Halfway through the handing, she remembered that Gu Xuelan didn’t drink beer: “Look at you – you came right here, why did you bring so many things.”

Gu Xuelan didn’t usually drink much, so she took the bottle of wine and poured some into the water glass.

“How are you?” Xie Yu raised his hand and clinked glasses with Zhou Dalei.

“VP Club, substitute,” Zhou Dalei said, “In less than half a year, I will change the starting lineup to show you.”

“Niubi.”

“That’s right, your brother is a thief.”

After three rounds of drinking.

The topic wandered from the college entrance examination to playing mahjong. Before they even made an appointment, Xie Yu, who had been silent throughout the whole process and was sitting there eating quietly, suddenly said: “Mom, Aunt Mei, I want to say something.”

Xie Yu drank half a bottle of wine, and the tips of his ears were a little red. Then he stood up and faced the people in front of him – except for Gu Xuelan, the people on Heishui Street who were not related by blood but were still like relatives.

He looked normal, but his fingers on the edge of the table tightened unconsciously: “I have a partner. This conversation in the second year of high school is not just for fun. It is very serious, serious enough… I will be he in this life.”

“He is called He Chao.”

Xie Yu didn’t have any special ideas.You don’t have to explain it to anyone, and you don’t have to care about the eyes of the world, but they are different.

People at the dinner table had different expressions, and most of them were surprised.

Xu Yanmei: “That He Chao who was here last time?”

Zhou Dalei: “Fuck, that He Chao?”

Gu Xuelan opened her mouth and almost couldn’t find her voice: “…He Chao?”

On the way back, Gu Xuelan didn’t speak for a long time.When the car pulled into the garage, she didn’t even realize it was there.

To be fair, she quite likes this child He Chao.

But she has never thought about this.

Even if he realizes that every time he calls, as long as the child is around, Xie Yu will become different from usual.

The unspeakable changes, if you think about it carefully… there are actually signs of it.

Gu Xuelan’s first reaction was that she couldn’t accept it.

However, everything she wanted to say came to an abrupt end when she touched Xie Yu’s eyes.

There was trust and expectation in those eyes.

She thought again of what she had written in her letter to him: No matter what choice you make.

——I just hope you are safe and happy.

“Have you thought about it?”

Xie Yu said: “I have thought about it.”

Gu Xuelan slowly closed her eyes, opened them again, and finally said softly: “If you are willing to tell me, Mom is very happy. Ask him to come out to have a meal and meet each other someday.”

Xie Yu lay on the bed after taking a shower. At first he thought he would be calm and just confess, but he saw text messages one after another, from Aunt Mei, from Da Lei…

He looked at it and suddenly buried his face into the pillow.

When He Chao received the call, he didn’t know that he had “indirectly” met the child’s parents. He just felt the child’s muffled voice: “What’s wrong?”

“Next time you call me, don’t call me Aunt Gu.”

He Chao didn’t react: “Does it sound too old to call you aunt? Your mother doesn’t feel happy? What should I call you? Otherwise, I’ll call you sister next time?”

Xie Yu said: “You idiot, call me mom.”

He Chao’s side seemed to have been disconnected. Xie Yu almost hung up the phone. When he was about to press ‘hang up’, he heard he ask again: “Is that what I thought?”

“Could it still be what you think, calling me sister? Seniority really knows how to calculate.”

“You…”

He looked at you for a long time, and finally smiled: “Then please add Lao He on WeChat. He has been begging me for almost two years. I was afraid of scaring you, so I never gave him.”

Xie Yu: “…”

Two years?

“I told him on the first day of dating that I found someone I really like. This boy is very cute.”

He Chao, his father is a god.

Since He Chao expressed his touching feelings for the creative short video, Lao He felt that this gift was tastefully chosen. After successfully adding Xie Yu as a friend, he immediately went to the online shopping platform to customize another one.

Xie Yu just woke up in the morning and turned on his mobile phone to check the time. In the early morning, he saw a group of African children holding up blackboards and dancing wildly.

“Congratulations to the dynasty, congratulations to the dynasty!”

“Thank you, thank you!”

“A happy marriage for a hundred years!”

…

So for Xie Yu, the biggest bad news of the year is probably: his birthday is coming soon.

But birthdays really can’t be avoided.

He spent a lot of effort, but still couldn’t convince himself: don’t argue with the people of the He family.

This semester of my sophomore year was very busy with schoolwork. I took a day off to accompany He Chao to class and then started to get busy again.I had almost forgotten about my birthday, but Professor Yang accidentally reminded me: “You won’t be here next week. I’ll give the information to Senior Brother Wang and let him follow up.”

“What?”

Professor Yang smiled and said, “You forgot your birthday? I don’t want to be said to be squeezing you so much that you can’t even celebrate your birthday.”

Xie Yuxin said that it would be better to be squeezed.

The workload was light that day. Xie Yu came out of the laboratory and there was still half an hour before the end of get out of class.

He thought for a while and planned to wait for his boyfriend to finish class.

The classroom was very quiet except for the voice of the finance class teacher: “Suppose f is a preference relationship defined on the consumption set X. If for any x, y, xfy in X, if and only if u(x)≥u(y)…”

Xie Yu didn’t go in or show his face through the window. He leaned against the wall and waited for a while.

He Chao didn’t see anyone until he came out of class: “Why are you here?”

“Waiting for you,” Xie Yu lowered his head and replied to WeChat before looking up at he. “Your dad said he wanted to give me a big gift. Please advise him not to give it. I understand.”

“I think so. It’s enough for me to give it away… Why are you joining in the fun?”

He Chaoshun laughed at Lao He, and then heard Xie Yu say again: “Don’t give it to your mother either. It’s the best blessing to me that you two don’t give me anything.”

“…”

As a result, He Chao was really calm for several days and only sent him two messages on his birthday.

-[Positioning]

-Come here.

Positioned as a restaurant.

A certain wealthy young man named He even booked the venue.

The store is not big, but it is elegantly decorated and has a singing stand at the front.

Xie Yu sat and waited for a long time without seeing anyone, and all kinds of weird gifts ran around in his mind, making him very upset.

Just as I was about to send a text message to ask, the lights in the entire restaurant dimmed for a few seconds without warning.

Then Xie Yu heard a cappella song, and with this a cappella song, the lights on the bar lit up little by little.

“What are you doing?”

He Chao didn’t pronounce the sound well at first, stopped and coughed, raised his index finger and made a “shh” gesture to “he”.

Without accompaniment, He Chao sang in the most direct way for a full four minutes.

It’s the song he sang on the bus during the autumn outing in the second year of high school.

He Zhao finished singing the last line, but did not say happy birthday. He held the microphone and asked: “I plan to give a ring this year. The kind that will be worn on the ring finger and never be taken off for the rest of my life. I wonder if my child will accept it?”
