Chapter 445 Extra Volume 2: Xia Houyuan's High School

In the middle of the night, Xia Houyuan finished writing the paper and got up to wash his face and go to sleep.Dad hasn't come back yet, so he probably won't be back.He often played cards all night outside and lost all his money before coming back cursing.Mom is already asleep and the lights in the room are off.Xia Houyuan frowned, walked to the washroom, fetched hot water, and put the towel in.In the mirror above the washbasin, his face was still green and handsome, with clear features, but there seemed to be a faint stagnation condensed between his brows, lingering.

He stared at his face for quite a while, neither in a daze nor thinking about anything else, just staring.

After a while, he sighed inaudibly, wrung out the towel, hung it back on the shelf, turned off the light in the bathroom, and went back to the room to sleep.

He woke up the next day with a burst of curses.

Familiar scolding.

He didn't panic at all, and lay on the bed in the same position with his eyes closed. After a while, he heard the alarm clock ringing, and then slowly sat up.

At this time, his father shouted from outside the room, full of anger, "My son is the film king, and the people who come to him for filming can line up to Changshan from here! Will I owe you such a small amount of money? After two days God, I will give it to you!"

This is not the first time I have heard this.

Xia Houyuan got off the bed expressionlessly and put on his clothes.

By the time he put on his school uniform, put on his schoolbag and was about to go out, his father was the only one left in the living room outside the room.

Dad was sitting on the sofa with a haggard face. It looked like he had played cards all night. He propped his forehead with both hands, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Hearing the movement of Xia Houyuan coming out, he raised his head, looked at Xia Houyuan, showed a somewhat apologetic smile, and asked, "Son, did I disturb you just now?"

Seeing the apologetic smile on his father's face, Xia Houyuan felt a pang in his heart.

Sometimes I wonder why his dad doesn't just make it worse, whether it's gambling, not loving the family, getting drunk like mud, or beating him, so that he can justly hate him.

However, in front of Xia Houyuan, Dad never blushed, never asked for money, never complained.

He's trying to play the image of a good dad.

Although this image has long been an empty skin.

However, Xia Houyuan couldn't hate him anymore.He knew in his heart that when those people were really in a hurry and his father had no money to pay them back, he couldn't just watch them teach his father a lesson, trample him to the ground and beat and scold him.He can't do it.

"I'm going to school." Xia Houyuan said.

Dad showed a bright smile on his haggard face and said, "Go to school, that's great!"

At that moment, Xia Houyuan mistakenly thought that he was back when he was a child. His father was standing at the door, handsome in a suit and leather shoes. He turned his head to Xia Houyuan who was carrying a small schoolbag, showing his white teeth. You go to school!"

Xia Houyuan was afraid that his tears would come out of his eyes, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and left the house as if fleeing.

Xia Houyuan hurried downstairs and walked out from the corridor.

As soon as he walked out of the corridor, he saw Wan Hetong leaning against the wall on the right, with his right foot on it and his hands in his trouser pockets.He was only wearing the simplest school uniform, and his hair was the simplest and cleanest, but he looked very heroic in the sun.

Seeing Wan Hetong, Xia Houyuan paused.

Wan Hetong pulled out his hand from his trouser pocket, waved at Xia Houyuan, and said, "You finally came down."

The sun shone from Xia Houyuan's back and fell on Wan Hetong's somewhat dark face. His eyebrows and black pupils were painted golden, and the faint fur on his face was clearly visible.

Xia Houyuan was a little surprised and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"

Wan Hetong nodded and raised his eyebrows, "Otherwise?"

He walked up to Xia Houyuan's side, and stretched out a hand to wrap his shoulders.

Xia Houyuan is not used to having physical contact with people.He froze all over, and broke away from Wan Hetong's arm on his shoulder like a conditioned reflex, looked at Wan Hetong, frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

"What's the matter?" Wan Hetong raised his hands innocently and asked, "Don't you all walk like this?"

Xia Houyuan frowned, resisted the slight disgust in his heart, and said, "I don't like people touching me."

When Wan Hetong heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he nodded respectfully and said, "Then it's fine if I don't touch you."

Xia Houyuan didn't understand why Wan and Tong were always clinging to him, which was kind of annoying.

On the way to school, there were neither too many nor too few people.There are several shops on the road with plane trees that sell breakfast.Wan and Tong held their heads in both hands, turned to look at Xia Houyuan, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Xia Houyuan seldom eats breakfast.Sometimes I buy a piece of bread, but most of the time I just drink water.The money in his wallet has to be saved, so that he can survive until the end of the college entrance examination.

He nodded, indicating that he had eaten.

Wan Hetong's eyes flickered, and he said, "Then you can eat with me, I'm so hungry."

Xia Houyuan frowned and said, "Then you eat, I'm going to school first."

He was about to leave, but Wan and Tong grabbed his sleeve, not allowing him to leave.

Xia Houyuan turned around impatiently, looked at Wan Hetong, and said, "I am not your friend, and I have no obligation to accompany you to have breakfast."

Wan Hetong said, "It's so boring for me to eat alone. We will be at the same table for a year in the future. Come eat with me!"

Such a boy full of athletic cells suddenly acted coquettishly, which made Xia Houyuan a little at a loss.

Just when he was at a loss, Wan Hetong suddenly went around behind him and pushed him into a nearby breakfast shop.

"Boss, let me have a bowl of beef noodles and a basket of steamed dumplings!" Wan Hetong said happily to the boss.

There are many people in the breakfast shop, and there are not many vacancies.Most of the people who eat and cook breakfast here are the surrounding residents and students who go to school. The table for making noodles is on the other side, which is steaming.

Xia Houyuan was dragged in by Wan Hetong, so he had no choice but to sit down.

However, Wan Hetong seemed to be very happy with the helplessness on Xia Houyuan's face, looking forward to the gods.

He took two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, got up and scalded them in the hot water pot on the stove at the door, then turned back and handed Xia Houyuan a pair.

Xia Houyuan frowned, looked at him, and said, "I won't eat."

"Tsk!" Wan Hetong frowned, and said, "You have come in with me, and you are still moaning, don't worry, you will have meat to eat with Big Brother!"

"You've watched too many underworld movies!" Xia Houyuan said flatly.
