Chapter 474 Extra Volume 2: Xia Houyuan's High School

After he won the title of actor, his father fell in love with gambling, and his mother lived a relaxed and comfortable life every day, shopping and having fun.Even though he can no longer make movies, their habit has not changed.Xia Houyuan originally thought that he could bear it.

However, just now, that mother, Lin Xue, who went out to have fun with her girlfriends every day, was hugged by a man at that moment, smiling happily.

Xia Houyuan was not stupid, he clearly understood what happened.

Every day before going out, the images of my mother smiling and saying "I'm going out" flashed through my mind one by one.

Therefore, it's not that she neglects her son who is in the third year of high school because she is greedy for fun, but because she has found another kind of happiness in life.

Xia Houyuan stood in front of the refrigerator, mechanically flipping through the yogurt bags like a marionette.

Sometimes the truth is like a black liquid wrapped in sunlight, and the refracted golden light dazzles people's eyes. When the sunlight disappears and the black liquid itself is revealed, people realize that the truth is so ugly.

Xia Houyuan didn't know whether he was glad or regretted seeing his mother hugging another man.

Glad to know the truth.Still regret knowing the truth.

Be deceived by illusions, live in virtual happiness, although this happiness is as thin as water vapor in the desert.

Or knowing the truth, it is even more painful, and even that little bit of happiness no longer exists.

Xia Houyuan returned home with the ingredients and found that Xia Guanghai had fallen asleep on the sofa.He relaxed his movements, walked into the kitchen, closed the kitchen door, and began to wash the ingredients.

While cleaning the ingredients, he recalled the scene he saw in the supermarket.

be terribly upset.

The water pours down the flowers and washes some dirt from the lotus root.

Perhaps it was because the sound of the water was covered, so Xia Houyuan didn't hear the sound of Lin Xue opening the door outside.

Therefore, when Lin Xue went to the kitchen door and opened it, Xia Houyuan was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned around to see his mother, he had the urge to look away for a moment.

"Mom...Mom?" Xia Houyuan called out.

Lin Xue looked at Xia Houyuan, opened her mouth, and showed a different smile than usual. It seemed to be a test, but also a guilty conscience. Perhaps, in fact, everything was as usual, but it was just Xia Houyuan's psychological effect.

Lin Xue asked, "Hou Yuan, did you go shopping in the supermarket just now?"

Xia Houyuan's heart tightened, but like a ghost, he pretended to be normal and said, "Yes, I invited my classmates to our house for dinner, so I went shopping just now."

Seeing that Xia Houyuan was still the same as usual, with a calm face and no fluctuations in his mood when speaking, Lin Xue was a little relieved.

She saw a figure from behind in the supermarket just now, who looked a lot like Xia Houyuan, but she didn't dare to go forward to confirm it.

However, since Xia Houyuan admitted it so frankly, and didn't have any other reaction, it should be because he didn't see her.

"Then you do it well, mom won't come back for dinner at night." Lin Xue said.

"En." Xia Houyuan nodded, turned his face away, and continued to wash the lotus root in his hands.

Lin Xue turned and left.

Xia Houyuan's tense body did not relax until he heard the sound of closing the door outside.

He stood in front of the sink for a while in a daze before he came back to his senses.

At six o'clock in the evening, Wan Hetong came over. When he came, Xia Guanghai had already woken up. He went to open the door and saw Wan Hetong standing at the door. He laughed and drew a few wrinkles. He moved away, He took out a pair of cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet, put them down in front of Wan Hetong's feet, and said, "Please come in."

Wan Hetong put on his shoes and walked in, just in time to see Xia Houyuan coming out of the kitchen with a plate of chicken legs.

He hurried over, exaggeratedly wowed, and said, "It smells so good!"

When Xia Houyuan heard Wan Hetong's exaggerated words, his originally depressed mood rose a little, and he said, "Wash your hands and eat."

Wan and Tong responded and went in to wash their hands.

Xia Houyuan turned off the fire, brought out the stewed soup, and put it on the dining table.

Xia Guanghai knew that his son was inviting his classmates to dinner today, so he warmly greeted Wan and Tong to sit down.

In fact, Wan Hetong looks down on Xia Guanghai. In his opinion, Xia Guanghai has neither the sense of responsibility as a father nor the sense of responsibility as a husband. He is idle and likes to gamble. , still trying to be a father in front of Xia Houyuan, so as not to break the jar.

But because he is Xiahouyuan's father, Wan Hetong couldn't refute his face and sat down accordingly.

Three people sat at a table to eat.

Xia Guanghai picked up a chicken drumstick and looked like he hadn't eaten for a long time. While eating, he said indistinctly, "Son, your cooking is really delicious."

Xia Houyuan didn't know whether he was happy or sad when he heard his praise.

Looking at Xia Guanghai's appearance, the shadow of his mother's cheating came to mind again.

Wan Hetong saw that Xia Houyuan was not in a good mood, so he quickly put a piece of beef into Xiahouyuan's bowl, and said, "You've been busy for so long, so hurry up and eat."

Xia Houyuan nodded, took a bite of the rice.

Wan Hetong asked again: "Then do you still go to self-study tomorrow?"

Xia Houyuan shook his head and said, "No, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I have to buy some new year's goods."

Wan and Tong said, "Then I'll go with you."

Xia Houyuan remembered that Wan and Tong lived alone, so he said, "Why don't you come to my house on New Year's day?"

Wan Hetong nodded and said, "Okay."

The two asked and answered, and ate while talking.

Xia Guanghai listened for a while, then asked Wan Hetong puzzledly: "I see you live here alone, don't you need to accompany your parents during the Chinese New Year?"

Xia Houyuan and Wan Hetong both stopped talking.

Xia Houyuan felt helpless and was about to speak when Wan Hetong said suddenly, "My parents died when I was young."

Xia Guanghai nodded when he heard the words, without showing any sympathy, he just said, "So that's the case, then you can come to our house to celebrate the New Year."

After dinner, Xia Houyuan sent Wan Hetong back, even though he only lived at the opposite door.

Coming out of the house, Xia Houyuan said, "I'm sorry, my dad didn't mean it just now."

Wan Hetong shook his head, patted Xia Houyuan on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay."

The lights in the corridor were a bit dim, the two of them looked at each other, and fell silent for a while.

Wan Hetong moved his hands hanging by his trousers, and his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling.It was as if some kind of ambiguous atmosphere suddenly descended, causing the two of them to look away tacitly, but did not move their feet.Xia Houyuan lowered his eyes and stared at the shoes on his and Wan Hetong's feet. Wan Hetong's legs were strong, but not thick, they were lean like those who practice martial arts.Wan Hetong has a good figure.Xia Houyuan suddenly wanted to hug him.

But he held back.

Just when Wan Hetong was about to speak, Xia Houyuan suddenly looked over Wan Hetong's shoulder and called, "Mom."
