Let's forget about it.
On the day Ms. Jiang returned to pick up the materials, Mr. Chen had a weekend off and was relaxing on the sofa watching TV.
Ms. Jiang went downstairs and walked to the entrance hall, then suddenly stopped. Her lips moved, and her brows furrowed.
"What's wrong, Mom?"
"It's okay, let me see if there's anything else I forgot to bring."
"oh."
She turned around and walked up to Chen Shengxu, patting his head. "Be good lately."
"good."
Ms. Jiang got into the car.
Forget it, let's talk about it when we can't hide it anymore.
National Day is just around the corner.
Gu Yu and his parents returned to their hometown.
Chen Shengxu called Lao Chen again, but no one answered. Even the messages he sent a few days ago went unanswered.
"Tsk, what exactly happened?"
He called Yu Cihuan.
I asked him, "What exactly happened? My dad has never done this before."
"Maybe she's just busy. Your mom said she's very busy too. Don't overthink it. Why scare yourself like that?"
But I'm very worried.
"Don't worry, my dad is like that sometimes. He's probably just busy and forgot."
"What you said makes sense."
"Right, stop thinking about it. You'd be better off doing your homework. There's just too much homework for this National Day holiday."
"Yes! I haven't done my homework yet. I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to do my homework."
"Um."
After being distracted, Chen Shengxu forgot all about Lao Chen's matter and his mind was full of homework he hadn't done yet, and there was still a lot of homework to do.
I want to die.
Moreover, Gu Yu's birthday is coming soon, and he needs to find time to buy a gift.
She spent half a day browsing in the mall but didn't know what to buy, so she called Yu Cihuan over.
The two strolled around for quite a while longer.
Chen Shengxu saw a shoe store and asked, "What do you think of high heels?"
"It's great, my first pair of high heels."
"Walk!"
The two eventually chose a pair of silver ones with pearl straps; they were very pretty.
During the National Day holiday, besides doing homework, I was taken to the company by Ms. Jiang to familiarize myself with the business.
worn out.

On Gu Yu's birthday, he went to her house with a gift.
Gu Yu opened the gift box downstairs.
Her eyes widened: "You, how did you come up with the idea of sending this?"
"I was thinking that you don't have high heels yet, and I also thought these were really pretty and would definitely suit you."
Gu Yu felt a sense of liking, but was even more moved.
No young girl hasn't dreamed of owning a pair of beautiful high heels.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
“I am so touched, Mr. Chen.”
"I'm glad you like it."
"Chen Shengxu, I still really like you."
Chen Shengxu's heart softened at those words.
Happy birthday, Gu Yu.
Gu Yu tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek.
"Well, I'll head back now. You must be tired from class today. Goodnight."
"good evening."
Chen Shengxu turned his back and reached out to touch the spot where Gu Yu had just kissed him.
Hehe! So happy!

After returning to school, there will be a sports meet.
Chen Shengxu and Yu Cihuan reported on several projects.
He was quite capable; he won three gold medals, which he then gave to Gu Yu.
It rained heavily the next day.
Childish: [It's raining, did you bring an umbrella?]
Little Rabbit: [No, but my mom said she's coming to pick me up.]
Little Rabbit: Did you bring it?
Childish brat: [Brought it.]
Little Rabbit: [Okay.]
fart!
He didn't bring an umbrella and got soaked all the way home.
After I got home, I made myself some ginger soup.
The next day, I took two more pills to prevent colds.
I still caught a cold and had to take leave to go home.
He didn't tell Gu Yu about this. Telling her would only make her worry unnecessarily. Besides, it had been raining all along, and she was afraid that if Gu Yu got worried, he would come to his house to find him.
I received a call from Ms. Jiang because my nose was so stuffy.
"Chen Shengxu, something has happened to your father."
"What! What do you mean?" He sat up in bed.
"Some time ago, your father's company sold a batch of materials that were reported to be problematic. An accident occurred at the place where those materials were used, resulting in several deaths. We currently lack sufficient evidence, and your father has been arrested."
"Mom..." he choked on his words, "Please don't scare me like that."
"I also hope this is fake."
"Then what should we do?"
"I've contacted people to collect evidence, file a lawsuit, and try my best to clear your father's name."
"And me? What do I need to do?"
"No need, just take care of yourself."
"Okay, Mom, take care of yourself."
"Um."
Chen Shengxu turned around and told Yu Cihuan about it, then cried with him for a long time while holding his phone.
He didn't even notice the message Gu Yu sent him.
The next day, Gu Yu still hadn't received a reply, so he went to ask Yu Cihuan.
Yu Cihuan told her about his family situation.
Yu Cihuan: [I'm on my way to his house, don't worry.]
My response: 【Okay.】
She might not be worried about what happened to her, but Chen Shengxu's failure to tell her immediately meant he didn't want her to know.
The news broke in the afternoon.
It caused a huge uproar all at once.
The guy from No. 3 Middle School who got beaten up by Chen Shengxu has started again.
"No wonder he beat people so badly. It turns out his father is a murderer and he is the son of a murderer."
"What are you saying!" Gu Yu glared at him.
“I’m telling the truth. It’s all over the news, can’t you see it? You’re still dating him, you probably are too.”
"you!"
"What happened to me? What happened to me?" He had barely finished speaking when someone punched him in the face.
"Are you crazy? It's the weekend!"
“He’s absolutely right. A leopard can’t change its spots. His mouth is so foul. I didn’t hit him hard enough last time,” Zhou Mo said. “Should I call Gu Yu’s parents to the school and sue you? You insulted their daughter again.”
"I'm too damn lazy to argue with you!"
"Idiot."
Gu Yu said, "Thank you."
“It’s alright, I don’t believe his father is that kind of person either.”
"Why?"
"Because he is a very good person."
"Yes."
Compared to No. 10 Middle School, No. 3 Middle School is considered better, since the protagonist attends No. 10 Middle School.
When Chen Shengxu recovered from his illness and went to school, he was pointed at and cursed as the son of a murderer.
He couldn't help but want to take action, but a second before he did, he thought of Ms. Jiang.
Mom is very tired, I can't cause trouble.
Then Yu Cihuan started fighting with them.
He pulled Yu Cihuan aside, saying, "It's nothing, he just got a few words said to him, and the innocent will clear themselves."
Ms. Jiang eventually found out about this.
He went home and saw Ms. Jiang.
"Go to Bianzhou and stay at your maternal grandmother's place."
"I don't want to go."
"Haven't you been talked about enough at school?!"
He remained silent.
“If you don’t think about yourself, you should think about your girlfriend. You may not know, and she won’t tell you, but I’ve heard people slandering her because of our family situation,” Ms. Jiang said. She couldn’t bear it, but she needed to protect her son. “She’s a good girl. These undeserved misfortunes have befallen her. It’s so unfair to her.”
"This matter will fade away after you leave."
"I see."
He didn't sleep all night; one sentence kept running through his mind.
"Gu Yu is the girlfriend of the murderer's son."
I forced myself to finish washing up and go downstairs.
"mom."
“Let’s go to Bianzhou. I’ll go to the school to take care of the paperwork for you later,” Ms. Jiang said as she walked over and placed her hand on his head. “I’ve already spoken to Grandma about it.”
"Um."
"Mom is sorry."
"No."
He felt like crying again.
In the afternoon, as he was pushing his suitcase and preparing to leave, he went back and hugged Ms. Jiang tightly.
"Mom, take care of yourself, don't worry about me."
"Um."
He boarded the train and opened his chat window with Gu Yu.
The chat history stopped at the point where Gu Yu showed concern for him after learning he had a cold.
It took about twenty minutes of editing and typing.
Finally, I sent out a message.
Childish brat: [Let's call it quits.]
The reply came instantly: 【No way!】
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and turned off the internet, so he also turned on Do Not Disturb and closed his eyes to pretend to sleep.
When he arrived in Bianzhou, he went to his maternal grandmother's house.
"Grandma, are you feeling better?"
"That's great, you don't need to worry about anything."
"Um."
"Good boy, just hang in there."
"Um."
"Go upstairs and rest first. I'll call you when I'm cooking."
"good."
He went upstairs without unpacking his suitcase, lay down on the bed, wrapped himself in the blanket, and planned to sleep soundly until the end of time.

Gu Yu sent many messages intermittently, but they all went unanswered. She asked Yu Cihuan, who told her that Chen Shengxu had not replied to his messages either.
Yu Cihuan: [Don't worry, I'll go to his house after school.]
My response: 【Okay.】
Yu Cihuan went to Chen Shengxu's house after school in the afternoon and happened to run into Ms. Jiang leaving home.
"Auntie, where is Chen Shengxu?"
“I arranged for him to transfer schools, hoping to give him a change of environment.”
"Auntie, could you please ask him to reply to Gu Yu's message? Gu Yu is extremely worried."
"What happened?"
“He told Gu Yu that he wanted to break up, and then he stopped replying to my messages. He didn’t reply to any of them either.”
“He went to extremes. Go back and tell that girl not to worry. He’s just overthinking things. Please apologize for me. I will call Chen Shengxu.”
"Auntie, what's the address of his new school?"
"Bianzhou No. 24 Middle School".
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
"Um."
Yu Cihuan then sent a message to Gu Yu about this matter.
Gu Yu: [I understand.]
Fish: [Hmm.]
*
Chen Shengxu really slept until nine o'clock.
I washed my face and went downstairs. I saw the kitchen light was on, so I went in and saw food on the counter.
I quickly ate a couple of bites and then stopped. I tidied up the table, went upstairs to pick up my suitcase, grabbed my pajamas, and went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I sat on the edge of the bed and just stared blankly.
While he was still in a daze, he realized that he had forgotten to turn off Do Not Disturb and had also forgotten to tell Ms. Jiang that he had arrived.
I grabbed my phone, turned off Do Not Disturb, turned on the internet, and a bunch of messages popped up.
He ignored it, found Ms. Jiang's chat box to let her know he was safe, and then saw that she had called him many times, so he called her back once.
"Mom, I've arrived."
"You broke up with that girl?"
"Hmm, I think Gu Yu sounds better than 'The Murderer's Son's Girlfriend'."
Ms. Jiang remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Son, is this what you really want to do? Won't you regret it?"
He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Hey, I've had plenty of regrets in my life, one more won't make a difference."
No, I regret it so much.
"Okay, then you should get some rest."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, he browsed his chat software.
I saw Gu Yu's last message.
Little Rabbit: [Eat well and sleep well.]
She cried again.
Her fingertips, gripping the phone, turned white as she suppressed her sobs, nearly unable to breathe, and coughed for a long time afterward.
