Chapter 4: The Trough

Since Zeng Xunque agreed to be friends with Quan Yunzhen, Quan Yunzhen seems to be glued to Zeng Xunque's body almost all the time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Quan Yunzhen came to Zeng Xunque's side whenever he had time, sometimes asking some study questions, sometimes reminding him to go to rest early, and sometimes chatting with him when he was bored. Although Zeng Xunque was particularly helpless every time, he still responded to him every time.

Over time, these things were seen by the classmates, and ugly rumors began to circulate.

"Zeng Xunque is going to eat together?" One day after school at noon, Quan Yunzhen wanted to pull him to dinner, who was still studying.

"You go first, I haven't finished my homework yet."

"Hey, you can write your homework whenever you want! But if you go later, there won't be anything good to eat in the cafeteria. As he spoke, he grabbed Zeng Xunque's wrist.

At this time, a few students in the classroom saw them and began to mumble quietly.

Such a voice made Zeng Xunque feel uncomfortable at all when he heard it, and he shook off Quan Yunzhen's hand heavily.

"Quan Yunzhen, do you have a young master's illness? You have to have someone to eat with, I said I haven't finished my homework yet, can you not bother me? ”

Quan Yunzhen was stunned in place, and Zeng Xunque's sudden boredom deeply hit his positivity. There was a moment of sadness in his heart, and he looked at the eyes of the other people in the classroom who were watching the joke, but he still held back that emotion.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so annoyed with me. Sorry to bother you, you write first, remember to go to dinner early! After saying that, he smiled bitterly, turned around and left pretending to have nothing to do. He thought to himself, for the sake of his son, he endured.

Quan Yunzhen sat alone in the crowded crowd, looking at the meal in front of him, the bright colors, delicate and mouth-watering, but he had no appetite at all.

He thought to himself: Did I go too far, so I disgusted my son. After being reborn, why is it so difficult to stay with your son?

While he was meditating, a man sat down in front of him. He looked over curiously, and it turned out to be his son who had just been angry.

"Uh-huh" (I wanted to say it, but I couldn't send it all)...... Why are you here?"

"I'm here to eat! Why don't you eat it! Waiting for me? ”

Quan Yunzhen didn't know what to say, just looked at him, his eyes were full of emotion but never revealed.

"I ...... I thought you hated me..."

Zeng Xunque was silent for a moment and said, "Quan Yunzhen, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did just now, I was upset to hear other people's gossip, so I lost my temper with you. Indeed, seeing Quan Yunzhen's departure, he chased after him with great guilt, in order to apologize.

"I ...... I don't mind at all, you don't have to be sorry for me. It's that I didn't notice these things, and I'll pay attention to them later. That...... Am I still your friend? There was such a strong desire in his eyes.

"Of course you're still my friend, and although you're annoying, you've been very nice lately." Zeng Xunque teased.

"Haha" Quan Yunzhen laughed heartily, "Thank you, I will try not to annoy myself so much in the future." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the chicken leg in his bowl and put it in his bowl, Zeng Xunque looked at him curiously.

"As a token of my appreciation, please eat. I definitely haven't touched it. He replied to Zeng's curiosity.

"How do you know I like chicken thighs?"

"Uh...... I guess. Quan Yunzhen casually said an excuse, but his son didn't ask any more.

――――

The results of the midterm exam came down, and the teacher was making a midterm summary on the stage. The students below listened carefully, curious about their rankings.

Only Quan Yunzhen has no expectations, he is very worried in his heart, and he is worried about how to accept his results later.

"Today, I want to praise our classmate Zeng Xunque here, and he is the first again." The head teacher, Mr. Wen, praised Zeng Xunque on the spot in the class, and at the same time, many classmates praised him.

"But what? At the same time, I would like to criticize one of my classmates. As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the class suddenly calmed down, and Quan Yunzhen's heart was tightened.

"Quan Yunzhen!" Teacher Wen read his name aloud, and the eyes of the students turned to him instantly. "Quan Yunzhen, a student in our class, has dropped from the second in the class to the first from the bottom of the class this time. Think about why, and come to my office after class later to explain. ”

In the midst of many disdainful eyes, Quan Yunzhen lowered his head in shame. Now he expected everything, because for him now, the knowledge of high school is simply a fantasy, where can he still get the exam.

After class, Quan Yunzhen walked helplessly to the office step by step with heavy steps. Standing in front of the door, his hands seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them up to knock on the door.

"Is it that hard to face?" The boy's calm voice came from behind him, and Quan Yunzhen looked back at Zeng Xunque's face.

"Zeng Xunque... You... Why are you here?"

"I happened to be passing by, and I saw you standing here for a long time."

Quan Yunzhen sighed helplessly and lowered his head, "You are the number one, you won't understand my current mood." ”

"I admit that I don't understand your feelings, but I know that it's not terrible to fail an exam, but what is terrible is that you don't dare to face it, and you can't extricate yourself from the whirlpool of fear. You need to be brave enough to face your failures and find out the reasons for them. ”

Zeng Xunque's every word and every action during persuasion touched Quan Yunzhen's heart so deeply. At this moment, he was deeply moved by his son.

"I ......"

"Alright. Believe me, it's going to be fine, be brave and face it. Zeng Xunque patted him on the shoulder, and then smiled reassuringly.

What gave Quan Yunzhen courage was the look of faith in his eyes, and he boldly pushed open the door.

In the face of Mr. Wen's doubts and criticisms, he didn't dare to defend himself, and he had no way to defend himself, he could only accept it silently, and he could only make some illusory promises - I will do well in the exam next time.

Although he doesn't know how long this next time will be.

Quan Yunzhen, who came out of the office, was in a mess all day. As if he had lost his purpose in life, he only thought about being reborn, but he didn't think about how he would integrate into this identity after being reborn.

After school, in the empty classroom, Quan Yunzhen lay on the table weakly, his mind was chaotic, as if there were a thousand mosquitoes buzzing in his ears.

Zeng Xunque packed up his things and was about to leave the classroom when he found Quan Yunzhen lying on the table.

He shook his head helplessly, but still walked towards him without holding back.

"Is it that uncomfortable? So much so that I don't want to go back home?"

As soon as Quan Yunzhen saw that it was his son coming, he seemed to have the spirit immediately, and he got up from the table with a bone.

"I didn't feel bad, I was just a little tired. I'm tired of explaining these things to my family later. ”

"You're up for gratitude." Zeng Xunque sighed, "You can at least confide in your family, and I, even if I have joy, I can't share it with my family......"

The words he said inadvertently deeply touched Quan Yunzhen's soft heartstrings. At this moment, I think about how failed I am as a father, and I can't even help him fulfill such a small wish as a son.

"You...... Where's your dad? His voice trembled, but he asked the question to which he already knew.

"My dad went out to work, and he probably won't come back for a year." Zeng Xunque said very easily, but anyone can see that that ease is obviously disguised. It was such a small disguise that made Quan Yunzhen fall into deep guilt again.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry...", he was filled with guilt, and these three words slipped out of his mouth.

"It's okay, you have nothing to be sorry about. Okay, after hearing what happened to me, shouldn't you go home early? ”

Looking at the smile on his face again, Quan Yunzhen was still so uncomfortable in his heart, full of guilt, almost overwhelming him.

"Can I go to your house tonight?"

"Huh?"

Seeing his hesitation, Quan Yunzhen prayed, "Just tonight, okay?" I just don't want to go home tonight. ”

"This ...... Isn't that good?" Zeng Xunque actually refused in his heart, because he had not brought any of his classmates home.

"There's nothing bad about it, your dad isn't home anyway. Let's celebrate your first place tonight, shall we? Quan Yunzhen continued to grind and soak.

"My family...... It may be a little broken, a rich young master like you may not be used to it......"

"How so? You don't have to worry at all, I'm very adaptable. "How can you not be used to a place where you have been for decades.

"That'...... All right! Zeng Xunque was still a little hesitant, but he reluctantly agreed.

"Oh, great, thank you. Let's relax tonight! ”
