Shuaishuai lowered his head and ate the cake happily on the ground. He licked the cake from Kou Chen's feet to his father's feet.
"Where are you washing the floor?" Dad slapped Shuaishuai on the head.
"Crap." Kou Xiao gave Kou Chen a wink.
Kou Chen hurriedly went to the kitchen to grab a few cleaning tissues, squatted on the ground and wiped off the slobber that Shuai Shuai licked, and wiped it all the way to his father's feet.
Dad's feet gave way, and he wiped the place where Dad's feet stepped.
"Okay," Dad sighed, "Go wash your hands."
Kou Chen squatted and didn't move, just rolled up the tissue and shook it towards the trash can.
Shuaishuai immediately ran over, stepped on the switch, opened the lid of the trash can, and Kou Chen threw the tissue in.
Shuaishuai ran back to him, wagging his tail at him for praise, he touched Shuaishuai's head: "It's so good, it's amazing."
Shuaishuai jumped to the other sofa and lay on Kou Xiao's lap, while Kou Chen still squatted beside his father's lap and didn't move.
He hadn't felt the low pressure before the storm came for a long time. Dad was indeed like what he said, his son was old and he didn't want to beat him all the time.
But probably his efforts have not seen any results in Kou Chen, the fight is still a fight, although he has also received a letter of thanks from the police, but after all, the new punishment is still because of the fight.
As always, his grades have not improved. It was not obvious in ordinary high schools before. Now, in key high schools like the Affiliated High School, few so-called scumbags can be so bad. Kou Chen's grades are very eye-catching.
Kou Chen didn't dare to look at his father, it was so dazzling that he would probably pierce his father's eyes into holes.
"Have the curls been made?" Dad asked, "I'll take a look."
"What's so good about a mid-term test paper?" Mom took a small cake and ate it slowly. "The grades don't count, and the college entrance examination doesn't look at the mid-term test grades."
"You can't even pass the midterm exam!" Dad suddenly shouted, "What is the college entrance examination for!"
Kou Chen's hand trembled slightly.
Dad's roar came out of nowhere, without any precautions. His heart jumped wildly in shock, and his chest felt like it was about to burst.
In theory, his problem of roaring when he has nothing to do should be learned from his father.
... Then why didn't Dad learn that he was good at studying
"Ouch." Mom was also taken aback, the cake fell on the table, and she immediately shouted, "What are you doing, Kou Er! You screamed so suddenly, who are you trying to scare to death!"
"I didn't yell at you either." Second child Kou immediately slowed down.
"Dad," Kou Xiao hugged Shuaishuai next to him, "if you have something to say, talk about it, it's useless to yell like this, just talk when you talk, don't keep yelling at him, and stop yelling at him for being rebellious."
"Rebel?" Dad looked at Kou Chen, "He's been rebelling since the day he could speak, and he hasn't finished his rebellion until now! I guess he can't stop if he doesn't bring me down to earth!"
"What did you say..." Kou Xiao frowned.
Dad interrupted her and stretched out his hand in front of Kou Chen: "Where's the paper? Let me take a look."
Kou Chen paused for another two seconds, then stood up slowly, walked to the door, took his schoolbag, flipped through it, and took out the paper.
Because the scores were really hard to read, he was unhappy when he stuffed it into his schoolbag, and he was all wrinkled.
When Dad took the paper, his brows tightened: "What do you have in that bag? How many papers can you get together like this?"
"Just a few books." Kou Chen said.
Dad glanced at him and said nothing. He lowered his head and opened several papers, smoothed them on his legs one by one, and folded them one by one.
One by one wonderful scores appeared in front of Dad.
Kou Chen felt that his breathing was a bit fast and slow, but his father didn't respond.
It wasn't until he laid out the last English paper that he could see that his father's hands were shaking.
"English is still passable," Dad squeezed the paper, presumably controlling the shaking of his hand, "This is quite unexpected, language is also passable, if it weren't for Mr. Yuan, language should also fail, right?"
Kou Chen didn't speak.
He really listened to the Chinese class for Lao Yuan, but thinking about it this way, this result is really not good for Lao Yuan. It's a shame that Lao Yuan is still smiling at him today.
"Your final exam last semester," Dad looked at him, "isn't your grades so bad?"
"Yeah." Kou Chen replied.
"That's still not paying attention to the mid-term exam," Kou Xiao said immediately, "I used to do it too. The results of the mid-term exam were not as good as the final exam, but I didn't take it seriously..."
"Can his grades be compared with your grades?" Dad interrupted Kou Xiao, "You and your mother don't have to protect him, as if he and I are enemies, what do you do with him? !"
Mom sighed: "Then you..."
"If I really don't care about him! Can I be so angry?" Dad stood up abruptly and pointed at Kou Chen, "If I really don't want to care about him, I won't be able to sleep night after night!"
Kou Chen took a wrong step to the side, avoiding his father's finger that was about to poke him in the face.
"I still have hope for you," Dad took another step in front of him, staring at him, his voice sinking, "I don't think my son is an idiot, not a fool, so he won't be so bad! "
Kou Chen frowned.
"If you have anything to say, just say it," Dad saw his expression. "You usually talk a lot. Did your sister tell you to shut up today and don't argue with me? It's okay, I'll tell you ten, and it's business as usual. Come on, don't hold back."
"You live in what you feel." Kou Chen looked at him.
"Kou Chen!" Kou Xiao patted the coffee table.
"What did you say?" Dad looked at him.
"You live in what you think and what you think," Kou Chen said. "You think I shouldn't be like this, you think I won't be like that, if I'm like this, it's bad."
Dad's eyes were about to burst with fire, but his voice was still trying to control: "Okay, let's talk about what you think you think, you're not bad, how do you think you're better? Fighting, truancy, punishment One after another, the children in the street are older than you and younger than you, and you will walk around! You are the devil king of the world! You are also a student now, and you are all bad. Where's the society? What do you have? Where are you not bad? Are you doing well?"
"Results and these are two different things." Kou Chen said.
"Students don't talk about their grades, what do you talk about? Do you have specialties? Do you have them?" Dad's voice increased slightly, "Do you tell people the same after you work? It's a different matter?"
"I can't tell you." Kou Chen frowned.
It's not that what Dad said is unreasonable, but he just felt that there was some tension. No matter how he felt that Dad's words were irrefutable, he still struggled.
"Who can you tell?" Dad said.
"I'll adjust my state in the second half of the semester, I..." Kou Chen stopped halfway through speaking, then spoke again after a while, "I don't care about grades like this at all."
Dad looked at him.
It's not that he hasn't said this, and he has said it before, when he was in junior high school, but that is to say, so it doesn't make much sense to say it now.
Kou Chen stopped talking.
Moreover, Dad's breath is a little heavy, and he can feel that he is controlling his emotions. He doesn't want to intensify the conflict. After all, the test results this time are really bad, and he himself is a little unhappy.
Dad didn't speak. After a while, Kou Xiao shook the two of them with the remote control: "Dad, let me go, I want to change the channel."
Dad glared at her, walked away and sat back on the sofa.
Kou Chen still stood in place and did not move.
"It's not discussed anymore, and it's pointless to discuss, but it's good for you to feel a little bit," Dad said, "I think you're just too lazy now, you can't get your energy up and do everything. I don’t want to work hard, and I beat you and scold you when you are so old, but it didn’t really make a difference, I was tired of beating, and I was tired of scolding.”
Kou Chen tilted his head and looked at him.
"I have always asked your third uncle to inquire about the school," Dad said, "he said before that you can go to high school. I think you are young and don't feel at ease. Don't think I'm talking face-to-face, I treat you I care about the same as your sister. I only thought about letting her go out after she was in college. The same is true for you. I also think about whether to think about it when you are in college... "
Kou Chen was a little confused. Looking at his father, he couldn't understand what he was saying for a while.
"Now it looks like you've not only made no progress at all, you've also regressed," Dad said. "I'm afraid it's too late..."
Kou Chen slowly turned his head and looked at Kou Xiao again.
Kou Xiao waved at him, motioning him not to speak.
At this moment, Kou Chen suddenly understood what his father said, and suddenly understood why Kou Xiao asked him not to quarrel with his father.
Whatever you say, don't argue with him.
Because Kou Xiao knew that his father was going to talk about this, and he would definitely be arguing.
He could already feel the blood gushing into his head now.
"I'm not going." He interrupted Dad with the shortest sentence.
"… what?" Dad asked.
"I won't go," Kou Chen said, "I won't go abroad, I won't transfer to another school, I'm just here, I won't go anywhere."
"I don't want you to go out right away," Mom stood up, walked over and pulled him to the side. "You don't have to rush to express your position if you ask your dad to tell him about him..."
"I," Kou Chen and his mother stubbornly didn't move, looking at his father, "I'm not going anywhere."
I'm not going anywhere.
I can't go anywhere.
I don't want to go anywhere.
Not a single step.
Kou Chen felt that he had left his job because of blood, and his hands and feet were cold. Not only his hands and feet, but also his legs, arms, and body were all cold. It was like standing in a glacier, but his head was scalding hot.
He has to thank Dad.
Without his father's words, he didn't know how long it would take him to experience such panic.
He is not afraid of unfamiliar cities, unfamiliar schools, unfamiliar people, and unfamiliar languages. He is not afraid of all unfamiliar things. If it was thrown out half a year ago, he would have thrown it out. Woolen cloth.
But not now.
no.
He is still not afraid of those strangers.
But he was afraid... no Huo Ran.
When Dad said the word "going abroad", his first reaction shocked himself.
Can't go abroad.
Going abroad is no longer a surprise.
"What the hell are you doing?" Dad stood up again in anger, his hands shaking violently, "What are you thinking about? Do you have to do everything against me, or is there something else you don't want to go out? reason?"
"So don't kill him," Kou Xiao walked over angrily, pushed him when he passed by Kou Chen, then went over and hugged his father, "Don't talk about him, let you go out now, will you go? Go, you won't be able to see your friends."
"It's not like he's not coming back, old friends can chat as well. Now that communication is so developed and transportation is convenient, he can come back for a meeting if he wants to!" Dad said, "I can make new friends over there... Forget it, he I don't have many friends..."
"That's what you said," Kou Xiao tutted twice, "People are different now, friends, don't say you didn't watch! I go out to play all day, don't say my brother has no friends!"
Dad frowned and didn't speak. After a while, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he stared at Kou Chen for a long time: "Are you in love?"
Kou Chen didn't want to show any expression.
He wanted to be cold, cold, and look calm.
But he knew that his left eyebrow was raised.
This is the self-indulgence of the left brow.
To criticize.
"Really!" Dad raised his voice.
"Let's talk about it," Mom patted the table, "What are you doing if you don't fall in love at this age, it's no fun just reading..."
"He didn't even read!" Dad yelled.
"No," Kou Chen said, "but I have someone I like."
As soon as these words were said, the whole family was quiet.
Not even handsome anymore.
Kou Chen was not surprised by their reaction. After all, he was so old and never said who he liked.
He was quiet when he finished speaking.
"Who?" Dad asked.
"I won't tell you, and I won't tell anyone," Kou Chen said. "I probably won't let him know."
"Why?" Mom was stunned. "Who is this?"
"...Don't you just like someone? Don't tell this, don't tell that! Who the hell don't you tell me?" Dad was so angry that he grabbed his left hand with his right hand to keep his hand from shaking, but he didn't succeed. The hands were shaking together, "Don't fall in love with a wanted criminal, or if you dare to love me, I will call 110!"
"Then you really don't care about me." Kou Chen said in a sullen voice.
Dad raised his hand, shook off Kou Xiao, took a chair and swung over him.
