When Carter went back, the lights in the hall were still on. A Fang had been following him since he entered. Carter stopped halfway and said, "Just say what you want to say."

A Fang glanced at the hall calmly, and then whispered: "My wife has been in a bad mood all afternoon. She didn't eat much dinner. She is really angry this time. Second Young Master, please don't go in later." Talk back to your wife."

Gu Xuelan was watching TV in the hall. Although everything seemed to be the same on the surface, Carter just looked at the back of her head and knew that tonight was probably not going to be an easy night.

There is a bloody family ethics drama on the TV, with poor acting skills and a plot that destroys the three views. The male protagonist expresses his pain with a ferocious facial features: "I love you, but I also love her... I really I don’t know what to do. You and she are both important women in my life."

Carter walked over and said, "Mom."

Gu Xuelan said nothing.

The only thing that responded to him was the actor's increasingly magical lines.

"I'm sorry," Carter endured the torture of the brain-dead TV series and took the initiative to lower his head and admit his mistake, "I shouldn't have left without saying a word this morning."

"You shouldn't leave without saying a word," Gu Xuelan raised her hand to turn off the TV, then slapped the remote control on the glass coffee table, making a "bang" sound, "Why, are you still planning to walk out in a big way? Carter, will I sue? I told you, I hope you stay at home during this holiday and stop going to messy places. Your most important task now is to study. "

"Mom, I think I have the right to choose how to spend my vacation."

Gu Xuelan's voice was slightly sharp: "------What rights do you have? Come and talk to me about your rights when you are independent. I didn't raise you to do nothing all day, eat and wait for death. You will know all day long. Run out, have you ever thought about what you should do in the future? You are still young, and if you can’t think of it, your mother will help you think about it. If you don’t have enough self-control and can’t do it, your mother will work hard to supervise you to do it. In the end, it’s still me. wrong?"

Carter was silent.

Gu Xuelan took a breath, sat down, shook her hands to get the water glass on the coffee table, and said, "You may blame mom now, but you will understand in the future. Mom did this all for you."

"I know," Carter said, "I know it myself. When I wait for the college entrance examination, you will see whether I will go to Tsinghua University or Peking University."

"You know how to use this sentence to block me, what do you know? If you really knew, your grades would not be like today. You are still dreaming about Tsinghua University and Peking University." Gu Xuelan's chest felt so tight that it ached.

She had been experiencing great mood swings since she sent Teacher Huang away in embarrassment in the morning. Now Carter was still acting neither humble nor arrogant in front of her. She didn't feel that she had made any mistake at all. All her emotions rushed up at once: "What on earth are you following?" Who learned this? Lorelei? You want to be like those on Blackwater Street, right?"

...

Carter originally wanted to bow his head and admit his mistake, and coaxed Ms. Gu with a good temper to calm her down. After all, he did something wrong today. If he had to cooperate with the tutor to make up lessons during the holidays, then let him make up for it.

But after hearing the last sentence, he suddenly raised his head, spoke slowly, and his eyes were so cold that he asked: "Those people, who are they?"

After Gu Xuelan said those words, she felt that she had made a mistake.

But she was angry and had no way to go down.

The two faced each other in silence.

"The food is in the kitchen. If you are hungry, go and eat by yourself." Gu Xuelan's attitude softened, and a feeling of powerlessness swept over her deeply.

Carter has a tough personality, and many times she doesn't know how to educate him.

She raised the child by herself, and she had no way or ability to fill the father's position that Carter lacked during his growth.

No one has ever taught her how to teach a child who is in adolescence and has a strong rebellious mentality. This child is no longer the soft little animal that nestled in her arms and relied on her when she was a child, and will no longer clamor for her. When I go out to play with her, I no longer have a bumpy walk when walking on the road. Halfway through, I find that my mother has not followed, so I stop and look back for her.

He had his own pace now and seemed to be leaving her behind. The words between the two became less and less. She didn't know what he was thinking. A world that she couldn't understand gradually formed in the boy's increasingly twinkling eyes.

After Gu Xuelan went upstairs, Carter went to the kitchen to pour water and saw a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, neatly placed in a bowl on the side. The eggs were fried into golden brown, with a layer of finely chopped green onion sprinkled on top. .

Made by Ms. Gu herself.

He doesn't even need to eat, you can tell at a glance.

Carter suddenly felt that what he did today was indeed an asshole.

The night gradually deepened, and the huge house became deserted again.

After Carter took a shower, he remembered that his mobile phone was still in airplane mode. After turning off airplane mode, more than a dozen text messages poured in, ding-dong-ding-dong.

Aunt Mei asked him where he was the most. Don't lose your temper and go home quickly. Your mother is very worried.

Lei’s mother also sent two messages, the last of which was from Lei Zi, asking him if he was home yet.

Carter replied: Here we are.

Lei Zi: It’s good to be here. As soon as I got home, my mother grabbed me and asked me if I knew where you were. I went there in a posture that looked like a missing person, but I was so nervous that it scared me.

Although Ms. Gu spoke harshly and looked like she wouldn't listen no matter what you said, she didn't stick to the tutoring matter and just left it at that.

Zhong Jie, who has nothing to do with this matter at all, is like a victorious rooster. He is in a wonderful mood and brings it out from time to time.

Carter learned to be "good" and remained indifferent and polite throughout the whole process: "Well, yes, you are awesome, you are awesome, you are right, are you happy? Are you happy?"

Zhong Jie: ... Why does it sound even more irritating?

Without having to deal with tutoring, Carter has much more time during the holidays.

The season system of Question King Competition is mainly based on holidays and ends at the beginning of school. In other words, winter and summer vacations are the standards for the beginning and end of the season. This summer vacation is the first trial operation of this unpopular game, and the final winner will be the distinguished first-generation Question King.

"I love learning": X Xueba is not online today? Are you sick?

"For a Better Tomorrow": Why are you sick...Can't you think about the good things? People also have to live.

"I love learning": Because in my eyes, X academic master will never give up studying as long as he still has breath. He is so hard-working, combining talent and hard work, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and does not sleep at five in the morning. He is my role model.

"X Xueba, the master of learning who can't stop even death" is surfing the Internet with two old aunts.

Carter: "A circle."

Lorelei: "Three belts and one belt."

Lei Ma: "No."

Carter played his card again: "Bomb."

Comrade Lorelei, the first social sister of Heishui Street, has recently been addicted to playing Landlords on her mobile phone. She spends all day in the group looking for someone to play cards with her.

Lei's mother looked at her bad hand and said, "If I don't fight, I won't win anyway. I have to cook."

Lorelei: "Why are you always like this, running away if you can't win?"

Lei's mother said frankly: "You really have to cook, otherwise my big Lei will eat/sh!t."

...

Carter said: "I also withdrew. If you play with me, you will lose no matter how you play. It's so boring."

Carter is notoriously lucky, and Zhou Dalei always calls him "Boss Xie".

During the Chinese New Year, everyone got together to play cards. Everyone resisted Mr. Carter, and no one wanted to play cards with him. So Carter looked like a miserable old man with no children to take care of him in his later years, sitting alone and watching TV. Drink hot water.

At first, Zhou Dalei would support his brother and force him to join the table: "He's not as good as you think. Really, his poker skills are just average and he's just a piece of sh!t. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see. He's definitely not good today." Gotta pick my feet."

As a result, Carter completely lived up to the trust he gave him. Not only did he win all the money he could win, but he also won four IOUs.

Carter once again participated in the Question King Competition when he suddenly remembered that there was a limited-time double experience event this weekend.

[Question King Production Team]: Are you ready for the Question King carnival tonight? Not only are new question types on the shelves, enriching and improving the content of each subject, and raising the difficulty to a higher level, we have also launched a new spectator mode, where you can watch the top students at close range as they answer questions and compete one-on-one! The competition system is open and transparent, and strength speaks for itself, leaving no room for cheating or cheating to hide!

As soon as the spectator mode was released, it aroused heated discussion throughout the server.

"I love learning": Great. In this way, I can see where the gap between myself and others is. Others' problem-solving ideas may help me develop new thinking. The same question can be approached from different perspectives. Click to watch, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in learning!

"Serve the Motherland": Praise to the production team, the spectator mode is really amazing, I have always wanted to see the ranking masters do the questions.

"Learning, learning, learning is the only thing in my life": This summer vacation has been so fulfilling because of you. Whenever I open this APP, I know that there are endless questions waiting for me, and I feel extremely happy. I have solved many difficult problems that I would not normally be exposed to, constantly challenging myself, and maintaining my love for learning.

Carter still ignored what was going on outside the window and went straight in to answer the questions. He didn't notice that there was a line of small gray characters in the upper right corner, and the line of small characters was still jumping and changing.

Current number of spectators: 82.

"I love learning": X Xueba's speed at answering questions is a bit scary...

"For a better tomorrow": How is God X? God answers the question. No wonder he rushed to the rankings so hard. Before I even finished reviewing my questions, he had already solved half of them, 666.

"Learning is the only thing in my life": Did anyone understand the three-dimensional geometry just now? He came up and directly drew five auxiliary lines? Is that so?

"Strive for the Top": The auxiliary line is cool, this wave of operations is very good, and one or two small problems can be solved at once.

"For a better tomorrow": Students, start using 666.

Carter didn't know that there were nearly a hundred lunatics watching him answer questions.

All he knew was that at 3:30 in the morning, he finally pushed Shameless off the top of the rankings.

No.1: jsdhwdmaX.
