86

Shuaishuai lowered his head to the ground and happily ate the cake. He licked the cake from Kou Chen's feet to his father's feet before finishing the meal.

"Are you washing the floor?" Dad slapped Shuaishuai on the head.

"Case." Kou Xiao winked at Kou Chen.

Kou Chen quickly went to the kitchen to get some cleaning paper towels, squatted on the floor and wiped away the traces of saliva that Shuai Shuai licked, and wiped it all the way to his father's feet.

Dad's foot gave way, and he wiped the place where Dad's foot stepped.

"Okay," Dad sighed, "go wash your hands."

Kou Chen squatted and didn't move. He just balled up the paper towel and shook it toward the trash can.

Shuai Shuai immediately screamed and ran over, stepped on the switch, opened the lid of the trash can, and Kou Chen threw the paper towel in.

Shuai Shuai ran back to him, wagging his tail at him for praise, and he touched Shuai Shuai's head: "You're so good, you're awesome."

Shuai Shuai jumped onto another sofa and lay on Kou Xiao's lap. Kou Chen still squatted beside his father's legs and did not move.

He had not felt this kind of low pressure before a storm for a long time. His father was indeed like what he said, his son was older and he no longer wanted to beat and scold him all the time.

But probably his efforts all along have not seen any results on Kou Chen. Fighting is still a fight. Although he has received a letter of thanks from the police, after all, the new punishment is still due to fighting.

His grades were as stagnant as ever. In the past, it was not obvious in ordinary high schools. Now in key high schools like the Affiliated Middle School, there are not many so-called scumbags who can do this, so Kou Chen's grades are very eye-catching.

Kou Chen didn't dare to look at his father, it was so dazzling that it could probably make holes in his eyes.

"Have the papers been distributed?" Dad asked, "Let me take a look."

"What's so interesting about a mid-term exam paper?" Mom took a small cake and ate it slowly. "The results don't count. The college entrance examination doesn't look at the mid-term exam results."

"I failed the midterm exam!" Dad suddenly yelled, "What are you going to do for the college entrance examination!"

Kou Chen's hand shook slightly.

Dad's roar came out of the blue and he was not prepared at all. It shocked his heart and made him feel like his chest was about to explode.

Theoretically, his habit of yelling when nothing happens is probably something he learned from his father.

…Then why didn’t you learn from the fact that dad is good at school?

"Ouch." My mother was also startled, and the cake fell on the table. She immediately shouted, "Kou Laoji, what are you doing! Who do you want to scare to death when you suddenly roar like this?"

"I didn't yell at you either." Kou Laoer immediately slowed down his voice.

"Dad," Kou Xiao hugged Shuaishuai next to him, "If you have something to say, talk to him. It's useless to yell like this. Just talk. Don't yell at him all the time or yell at him for being rebellious."

"Rebellious?" Dad looked at Kou Chen, "He has been rebellious since the day he could speak, and he hasn't finished rebellious until now! He probably won't stop until he puts me to death!"

"What are you talking about..." Kou Xiao frowned.

Dad interrupted her and stretched out his hand in front of Kou Chen: "Where is the paper? Let me take a look."

Kou Chen paused for another two seconds, then slowly stood up, walked to the door, took out his schoolbag, rummaged through it, and took out the paper.

Because he couldn't read the scores, he stuffed them into his schoolbag with discomfort and wrinkles.

When Dad took the paper, his brows tightened: "What's in your schoolbag? How many papers can be lumped together like this?"

"Just a few books." Kou Chen said.

Dad glanced at him and said nothing. He lowered his head and opened a few papers, smoothed them on his legs one by one, and folded them one by one.

One by one, wonderful scores appeared in front of my father's eyes.

Kou Chen felt that his breathing was a little fast and slow, but his father never responded.

It wasn't until he laid out the last English paper that he noticed that his father's hands were shaking.

"I passed the exam in English," Dad held the paper, probably trying to control the shaking of his hands. "This is quite surprising. I also passed the exam in language. If it weren't for Teacher Yuan, I would have failed in Chinese, right?"

Kou Chen said nothing.

He did attend the Chinese class because of Lao Yuan, but if you think about it, this result is really disappointing to Lao Yuan. Fortunately, Lao Yuan still smiled at him today.

"Your final exam last semester," Dad looked at him, "were your grades not so bad?"

"Yeah." Kou Chen responded.

"Then I still don't pay enough attention to the midterm exam," Kou Xiao said immediately, "I used to do the same, and my midterm exam results were not as good as the final exam, but I just didn't take it seriously..."

"Can his grades and your grades be compared together?" Dad interrupted Kou Xiao, "You and your mother don't have to protect him. It's as if he and I are enemies, so what do you want to do to him?

!”

Mom sighed: "Then you..."

"If I really don't care about him! Can I be so angry?" Dad stood up suddenly and pointed at Kou Chen, "If I really don't care about him, I won't be able to sleep all night!"

Kou Chen took a wrong step to the side, avoiding his father's finger that was about to poke him in the face.

"I still have hope for you," the father took another step in front of him, glared at him, and his voice deepened, "I don't think my son is an idiot or a fool, so he won't be so bad!

"

Kou Chen frowned.

"Just say what you want to say," Dad saw his expression. "You usually talk a lot. Did your sister tell you to shut up and stop fighting with me today? It's okay. I'll say something to you, as usual.

Come on, don’t hold it in.”

"You just live in your feelings." Kou Chen looked at him.

"Kou Chen!" Kou Xiao patted the coffee table.

"What did you say?" Dad looked at him.

"You live by what you think and what you feel," Kou Chen said. "You think I shouldn't be like this, you think I won't be like that. If I do this or that, it would be bad."

Dad's eyes were about to burst into flames, but he was still trying to control his voice: "Okay, let's talk about it according to what you think. You are not bad, but what do you think is good about you? Fighting, playing truant, punishing me for carrying a bad back.

One after another, children who are older than you and younger than you in the same street will walk around you when they see you! Are you a devil incarnation? You are just a student now, and these are the only things you are missing. In the future, you will go up

What about society? What do you have? What’s not bad about you? Do you have good grades?”

"Achievements are two different things." Kou Chen said.

"Students don't talk about their grades. What do you talk about? Specialties? Do you have them?" Dad's voice rose slightly, "Will you tell people the same thing when you work in the future? It's two different things?"

"I can't tell you clearly." Kou Chen frowned.

What his father said was not unreasonable, but he just felt that he was struggling. No matter how he felt that his father's words were irrefutable, he still struggled.

"Who can you tell me clearly?" Dad said.

"I will adjust my condition in the second half of the semester. I..." Kou Chen stopped mid-sentence, and then spoke again after a while, "I don't care at all about such results."

Dad looked at him.

It’s not like he’s never said this before, he’s said it before, in junior high school, but that’s just saying it, so it’s meaningless to say it now.

Kou Chen said no more.

Moreover, my father's breath was a little heavy, and he could tell that he was trying to control his emotions. He didn't want to intensify the conflict anymore. After all, his test scores were really bad this time, and he himself was a little unhappy.

Dad didn't say anything. After breathing for a while, Kou Xiao waved the remote control at them: "Dad, please, I want to change the channel."

Dad glared at her, walked away and sat back on the sofa.

Kou Chen still stood there without moving.

"We won't discuss these anymore. There is no point in discussing them, but it's good that you can have some feelings," Dad said. "I think you are too lazy now. You can't get motivated to do anything, and you can't do anything."

If you don’t want to work hard, if you grow up and you hit and scold you, it doesn’t really have any effect. I’m tired of beating you and tired of scolding you.”

Kou Chen tilted his head and looked at him.

"I have been asking your third uncle to inquire about the school," Dad said. "He said before that you can go to high school. I think you are young and are not at ease. Don't think that I am talking about face.

I am just as concerned as your sister. I will not consider letting her go out until she is in college. The same goes for you. I am also thinking about whether I will consider letting her go out when she is in college..."

Kou Chen was a little confused. He looked at his father and couldn't understand what he was talking about.

"Now it seems that not only have you made no progress at all, but you have also regressed," Dad said. "I'm really afraid that it will be too late..."

Kou Chen slowly turned his head and looked at Kou Xiao again.

Kou Xiao waved his hand at him, signaling him not to speak.

At this moment, Kou Chen suddenly understood what his father was saying, and also why Kou Xiao asked him not to quarrel with his father.

Don't argue with him no matter what you say.

Because Kou Xiao knew that his father was going to talk about this, and he would definitely make a noise.

He could already feel the blood rushing to his brain.

"I'm not going." He interrupted his father in the shortest sentence.

"...What?" Dad asked.

"I won't go," Kou Chen said, "I won't go abroad or transfer to another school. I'll stay here and won't go anywhere."
