Zhang Ke persuaded and coaxed, and finally did not let Xiao Yuan drink.
He pulled Xiao Yuan to play gas for over an hour, and Xiao Yuan guessed the tornt in the ga.
Although he had fun playing, Xiao Yuan’s interest was never very high.
Just as Zhang Ke was thinking about asking Anning what to do next, he heard Xiao Hongyi’s voice from downstairs.
"Xiao Yuan, where are you?"
Xiao Yuan didn’t move, and Zhang Ke quickly responded and ran downstairs: "Uncle Xiao, we are here."
He ran downstairs in slippers, almost tripping halfway, which made Xiao Hongyi a bit worried: "Take it slow, don’t fall."
Zhang Ke smiled and sprung up to Xiao Hongyi: "You finally ca, if you hadn’t, Xiao Yuan would have tortured to death."
"What happened?"
Xiao Hongyi glanced upstairs.
"I don’t know why Xiao Yuan is angry tonight, he did well in the exams this ti, and was quite happy after school." Zhang Ke scratched his head, looking quite annoyed: "Uncle Xiao, do you know?"
"Cough, cough..."
Xiao Hongyi awkwardly looked at Zhang Ke: "It’s all my fault, Xiao Yuan brought back his report card, and I suspected he cheated."
"What?"
Zhang Ke almost jumped up: "How could you do that? I wondered why Xiao Yuan wanted to drink with , it turns out it was all your fault, Uncle Xiao, I have to say, you really shouldn’t have done that, do you know how hard Xiao Yuan has been studying recently? Always buried in books and doing problems, you are just undermining his enthusiasm."
Xiao Hongyi felt even more guilty.
"Ah, today you’re not the first one to criticize , a little girl just called and really gave a dressing down."
"Was it Zhao Anning?" Zhang Ke guessed right away: "Then you shouldn’t be mad at her, she was just defending Xiao Yuan."
Xiao Hongyi laughed, patting Zhang Ke’s head: "In your eyes, do I look like soone who would get mad at a child? The girl has a fiery temper and is quite blunt, but I can tell she was really worried, probably really concerned about Xiao Yuan."
Zhang Ke nodded: "Zhao Anning is pretty good, she’s nice to everyone in our class, she’s very patient when answering questions, and she highlights the key points for us. She ranked first in our grade in the exams, you don’t know, it really made our class shine."
After saying this, Zhang Ke led Xiao Hongyi upstairs: "Go see Xiao Yuan, have a good talk with him, and don’t let him dwell on negative thoughts."
Waiting for Xiao Hongyi to enter the ga room, Zhang Ke ran downstairs to call Anning.
Anning was almost asleep when the phone ringing woke her up.
"Zhang Ke, do you see what ti it is?"
Anning was gritting her teeth.
Zhang Ke quickly apologized: "Sorry about that, I’m a night owl."
"But I need to sleep." Anning said angrily: "Speak quickly."
Zhang Ke laughed: "I have to say you did well, daring to call and lecture Uncle Xiao, little girl, I really underestimated you before."
Anning huffed: "It’s all your fault, knowing that Xiao Yuan was upset, couldn’t you have just called his dad and let him know instead of making do it and offend soone."
Zhang Ke raised his thumb: "Thanks for that, I’ll treat you to sothing good later."
"Alright, I’m hanging up."
Anning turned off her phone, pulled her blanket up, and fell asleep soon after.
Xiao Hongyi pushed open the door of the ga room, only to see Xiao Yuan sitting on the floor playing with the ga console.
He coughed, and Xiao Yuan looked back, his face cold and unresponsive.
Xiao Hongyi’s face couldn’t hold the expression.
But, today it was indeed his fault, he could only muster up the courage to sit down next to Xiao Yuan, and apologized like Xiao Yuan: "I was wrong today."
Xiao Hongyi gritted his teeth and apologized to Xiao Yuan: "Sorry, I... I didn’t have enough trust in you, I shouldn’t have suspected you of cheating without asking clearly, I won’t do it again."
Xiao Yuan was quite surprised, turning his head to look at Xiao Hongyi: "It’s not easy, you even know how to apologize to ."
Xiao Hongyi felt a bit guilty: "No matter who it is, if they are wrong, they have to apologize, even if I am your dad, but I still owe you an apology."
Xiao Yuan continued playing the ga: "How do you know I didn’t cheat."
Xiao Hongyi did not want to say that Anning had called to scold him, so he found an excuse: "I asked your classmates and teachers."
Xiao Yuan coldly played through another round, then threw the ga console aside: "Apology done, you can go now."
He propped himself up with his right hand and stood up: "I need to sleep."
Xiao Hongyi also stood up: "Yuan Yuan, I will definitely change, I will understand you more and communicate more with you, how about, let’s go ho?"
Xiao Yuan shook his head: "Why go back, to see your happy family of three?"
That remark was a bit piercing.
Xiao Hongyi wanted to erupt on the spot, but still suppressed his anger: "What happy family of three, aren’t you a mber of this family? Aunt Tian is so good to you, always thinking of you, and your sister lets you have your way, what more are you dissatisfied with? Must you disrupt the whole family’s peace?"
Xiao Yuan, hands in pockets, had a careless deanor: "What Aunt Tian, she’s just a mistress, the mistress who broke into soone else’s family."
Xiao Hongyi imdiately changed his expression: "Who told you that?"
Xiao Yuan turned his face away: "Who else could have said it, can’t I see it myself?"
Xiao Hongyi was extrely angry: "So, all these years, is that how you’ve seen your Aunt Tian? Alright, alright, you really are..."
"What am I really?"
Xiao Yuan sneered: "What about you marrying Aunt Tian to take care of , that’s just a lie, you just wanted to take care of your illegitimate daughter..."
Xiao Yuan hadn’t finished speaking when Xiao Hongyi angrily slapped him.
Xiao Yuan’s eyes turned colder: "What, did I hit a nerve?"
Xiao Hongyi stood on the ground, gasping heavily, managing to suppress his anger without hitting Xiao Yuan again.
"Today, I’m telling you, Aunt Tian married a year after your mother passed away, she’s not a mistress, and your sister is not illegitimate, she is..."
"What is she?"
Xiao Yuan was aggressively pressing.
Xiao Hongyi looked very disappointed: "Forget it, what’s the use of telling you this, you won’t listen anyway."
He walked out, angry and dejected: "If I had known it would co to this, I would have..."
Whatever he said next, Xiao Yuan couldn’t hear anymore.
Zhang Ke was standing downstairs, seeing Xiao Hongyi coming down, he knew from his expression that he hadn’t reached an agreent with Xiao Yuan.
Zhang Ke was quite upset.
But still, he approached with a smile: "Um, Xiao Yuan didn’t tell you about the parent-teacher eting tomorrow, did he?"
Xiao Hongyi shook his head: "No."
"Parent-teacher eting tomorrow at eight, rember that."
