hypocritically

Chapter 87

"Tang Ruishan." The man introduced himself lying on the bed, then pouted at Guo Xiao, "What's your name?"

"Guo Xiao..."

Tang Ruishan's fall was indeed serious, and he fractured his tailbone, but the problem was not serious, and the problem could heal on its own, but he stayed in bed for a little longer, about two months.

Guo Xiao quickly explained to him, "Uncle Tang, I won't be able to come after school starts, and you have to find someone else."

"Yo." Tang Ruishan didn't mind that Guo Xiao called him old, and was a little surprised to hear that Guo Xiao was still studying, "University? Seeing how stupid you are, you can still go to university. Where can you study?"

Tang Ruishan spoke bluntly, but he had no bad intentions, and Guo Xiao didn't care about others, "Big C."

"Okay." Tang Ruishan was still thinking about a technical secondary school or something, and Guo Xiao was not as stupid as he looked, "Let's talk about it when the time comes, don't worry."

Although Tang Ruishan is very picky and talkative, it is not difficult to take care of him, but it is a little troublesome. Fortunately, Guo Xiao is a good-tempered person, and the two got along quite smoothly.

At first, he just helped Tang Ruishan buy boxed lunches downstairs, but later he heard that Guo Xiao could cook, so Tang Ruishan insisted on having them cook for him and bring them to the hospital.

Fearing that Guo Xiao would not agree, Tang Ruishan said miserably, "For Chinese New Year, the patients in the next bed have family members to cook and send them to the hospital, and I have to eat lunch."

Guo Xiao is a soft-hearted person, he is most afraid that others will follow him, "I will do it for you."

It was really pitiful, if he hadn't met himself, he wouldn't have known how Tang Ruishan would come to the hospital that night.

Guo Xiao asked a lot, "Uncle Tang, where are your wife and children?"

"I'm not married yet, where did my wife and children come from?"

Guo Xiao looked at Tang Ruishan with strange eyes, probably because he felt that a man who was about 40 years old, unmarried, without a wife and children was very different.

"What about you?" Tang Ruishan was also in a hurry. At first, he thought that Guo Xiao came to work in the city from the countryside. Later, he found out that he was studying in college. Since he is a college student, he must go home during the winter vacation. "You don't go home during the winter vacation. ?"

Guo Xiao shook his head. He didn't know how to explain it. Since his parents were gone, he no longer knew where his family was.

"Your parents don't care about you?"

"My parents passed away."

Tang Ruishan realized that he was talking too fast, and raised his eyebrows to express his apology.

"I'm living with my friend now, he... has been very busy recently, and won't be back for Chinese New Year..."

Just as he was about to leave and go home at night, Guo Xiao received a call from Xu Keqin. These few days, Xu Keqin had social engagements, and finally found time to read Guo Xiao's text messages, but he saw the news that Guo Xiao had gone to work as a nurse.

Xu Keqin's tone was not very good, he had too many things to do, he was already a little angry, and he was distracted by Guo Xiao, "What's the matter with you? Did you take what I told you to heart?"

Guo Xiao knew why Xu Keqin was angry, and it was probably because he was working as a nurse for Tang Ruishan. He also felt baffled, but he had already agreed, and he couldn't go back on his word. Besides, it was almost Chinese New Year, so it was really not easy to find a nurse.

It's not good to say these things in front of others, Guo Xiao looked back at Tang Ruishan, and walked out of the ward clutching the phone.

"He can't find a nurse, and I do whatever I do..."

Xu Keqin took a deep breath. He really wanted to open Guo Xiao's mind to see what was inside. A stranger who had delivered meals a few times would have nothing to do with Guo Xiao. Even if he couldn't find a nurse, and What does Guo Xiao have to do with it? A phone call calls someone to become a nurse, and he sees that Guo Xiao is a soft-spoken guy.

"His parents don't seem to be here, and he has no other relatives. It's very pitiful." Afraid that Xu Keqin would get angry, Guo Xiao quickly assured him, "I told him that I won't have time to take care of him when school starts, and he will definitely Will find another nurse."

Let alone a meeting, even a phone call is a luxury now. Guo Xiao didn't want to use it for arguing with the only time he had, so he humbly asked Xu Keqin for a while, and finally calmed him down.

"Are you still in the hospital?"

Guo Xiao replied honestly, "Well, just as I was about to leave, your call came."

"Hurry up and send me a message when you get home."

Regardless of whether Xu Keqin could read the news or not, Guo Xiao had to post it, "Okay."

When Guo Xiao finished calling and came in, his expression changed. Tang Ruishan tentatively asked, "Why are you so sad, who called you?"

"my friend…"

"Male and female?"

"male."

Tang Ruishan said sarcastically without being kind: "Let me just say, how can girls like you for being so silly?"

Guo Xiao didn't refute, but Tang Ruishan didn't intend to stop, "What did you say? The one with such an ugly expression, the one who lives with you?"

Guo Xiao was still a little tender, and his thoughts were written on his face. Tang Ruishan could tell at a glance that Guo Xiao had talked with his friend on the phone just now, and the conversation was about his own business.

"What's the matter, you don't want to do it?"

Guo Xiao opened his mouth, inexplicably feeling guilty, "Huh?"

"I don't like to force others to make things difficult for me. If you really don't want to do it, just speak up."

"No, no... It's just that he was afraid that you were a bad person, so he said a few more words..."

It is understandable for people to have such concerns. After all, the relationship between myself and Guo Xiao was just a customer and a delivery person at first, and there is nothing I can do to trouble Guo Xiao.

"It's fine if you don't." Since Guo Xiao had no intention of not doing it, Tang Ruishan didn't ask any further questions.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, all the patients in the same ward were temporarily discharged from the hospital and went home for the New Year. How could Tang Ruishan bear the desertedness in the hospital, and he had to go home anyway. Guo Xiao accompanied him to toss and get him back home.

The house was not occupied for several days, and Guo Xiao had to be troubled to clean it for him. Fortunately, the supermarket downstairs was not closed yet, so Guo Xiao helped to buy some food for him.

"Why don't you go back and celebrate the New Year with me." Tang Ruishan thought that both of them were bachelors, and the one who celebrated the New Year would take care of each other, mainly because someone would take care of him.

Guo Xiao hesitated for a moment, since he would go back alone anyway, so he agreed.

Guo Xiao was quite neat, and made several dishes for him. Tang Ruishan looked at him with admiration, "It's a pity, you can't drink alcohol."

The programs on TV were full of laughter, and Tang Ruishan talked a lot, so he wouldn't stand in the way at all, and Guo Xiao could still chat with him.

Guo Xiao was a little surprised when he heard about Tang Ruishan's work unit, "Mingda Heavy Industry..."

"Well, our unit still recruits people from your school every year. There are not many recruits. It would be good to have one or two a year."

"Then what position are you in?" Guo Xiao was very curious. Mingda's business covers a wide range of fields, including electricity, machinery, ships, and aerospace.

"Which position? Work as a coolie." Tang Ruishan half-jokingly said.

Guo Xiao took it seriously. He was very envious. As long as he could be recruited, he would not choose any position. He was just about to talk when the phone rang.

"Wait a moment."

At this time, I will call myself. Except for my aunt, there is only Xu Keqin. I called my aunt when I was cooking, so there is a greater probability...it is Xu Keqin.

With Tang Ruishan in front of him, Guo Xiao felt a thousand inconveniences. He raised his eyes to take a sneak peek at Tang Ruishan, and found that Tang Ruishan was also looking at him.

"I'll answer the phone..." Guo Xiao was afraid that Xu Keqin would be waiting impatiently, so he wanted to get up and go to the kitchen to answer it.

Tang Ruishan found it more and more interesting, pretending not to understand Guo Xiao's meaning, "You pick it up."

Guo Xiao's heart froze, and he turned his back to answer the phone, "Hello?"

With everyone in front of them, Guo Xiao's behavior was a bit deceiving. Tang Ruishan also turned down the TV volume a little in a very considerate way. He couldn't really hear what was said on the phone, but he could hear it was a male voice.

Xu Keqin took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself, "What are you doing?"

In the dead of night, listening to the sound of a lighter, Guo Xiao would inexplicably feel that Xu Keqin was very sexy, but with Tang Ruishan around, he didn't have much time to think about anything else.

"Eat, watch TV."

Xu Keqin had nothing to say to Guo Xiao, but on this special day, he wanted to hear Guo Xiao's voice. Guo Xiao, who could talk about trivial matters for a long time on weekdays, unexpectedly became silent at this time.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Guo Xiao was on his back, he could feel Tang Ruishan's eyes, he wanted to call Xu Keqin, but not at this time, he didn't dare to tell Xu Keqin the truth, racked his brains, and finally managed to say, "Happy New Year."

There was silence on the phone for a while, and Guo Xiaoxin picked it up. Xu Keqin would not have heard anything. After a few seconds, Xu Keqin only replied, "Happy New Year, eat, I still have things to do."

Tang Ruishan watched Guo Xiao hang up the phone, his tense shoulders relaxed, and sat back beside him. Before he could speak, another text message came in.

Guo Xiao quickly opened it, it was from Xu Keqin.

"Look in the nightstand to see if my USB drive is in there."

He was not at home, how could he know where the USB drive was, Guo Xiao could only say nonsense, "Yes."

The word "in" was typed so fast that Tang Ruishan didn't have time to stop it, and the call came again.

Xu Keqin asked in a cold voice, "Where are you?"

Guo Xiao's breathing was tight, as if his neck was pinched tightly, and he couldn't make a sound.

"say!"

From a distance, Tang Ruishan could hear the roar on the phone. He patted Guo Xiao on the shoulder to bring Guo Xiao back to his senses.

Guo Xiao let out a breath slowly, "At Uncle Tang's house..."

Suddenly there was a busy tone on the phone, Guo Xiao glanced at the screen helplessly, Xu Keqin hung up on him, he hurriedly got up and ran to the kitchen, and called Xu Keqin again.

The Spring Festival Gala could no longer attract Tang Ruishan's attention. He smiled and looked in the direction of the kitchen. After waiting for about ten minutes, Guo Xiao came out after calling.

"your friend?"

Guo Xiao didn't have much energy, so he nodded. He said such nice things to Xu Keqin, but he didn't know if he was coaxed well.

Tang Ruishan raised his eyebrows, "Your friend is too lenient, you even control who you eat with?"

These days, I occasionally see Guo Xiao sending messages on his mobile phone. Tang Ruishan is thinking, is it also sent to his friend Guo Xiao?It's like reporting every day, what kind of friend?

"How did he find out..." Guo Xiao murmured.

Tang Ruishan seemed to be looking at a fool, and he didn't know whether Guo Xiao's friend was too smart or Guo Xiao was too stupid.

"Your friend is much smarter than you, and you won't be able to find out if you talk to me."

Not a rival in love, and Guo Xiao is not a heartthrob, where can there be so many rivals in love
