The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 23
It may be due to factors of the growing environment.

Chen Jing is actually not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships.

As a Buddhist nerd, he has no friends in the real world. As for colleagues or classmates, he has almost no daily contact.

So...how is the relationship between friends maintained?
Chen Jing couldn't figure it out.

Even when he received the task of [additional question], he began to try hard to recall the TV series and movies he had watched...

Facts have proved that as a dead house with social difficulties, it is indeed not easy to make friends.

At least he now felt as though he had screwed up.

"I didn't expect you to wake up so early..." Chen Bofu walked to the bed, raised his hand to touch Chen Jing's forehead, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "The body temperature has dropped a lot, it should be fine..."

Chen Jing raised his face and smiled at Chen Bofu, but quickly turned his gaze to the place where Kui Nan had left, and there was no longer any figure outside the window.

Only the evening breeze is blowing the flax-colored curtains, and the yellow plastic cartoon wind chimes are tinkling...

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Bofu asked curiously, following Chen Jing's direction, "Why did she call you a liar?"

"It's nothing..." Chen Jing pretended to be calm and shook his head, then turned around and smiled at Chen Bofu, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm much better already."

Hearing what he said, Chen Bofu immediately burst into a smile.

"Grandpa brought you some food. They were all fished from the warehouse of the property office. They are all good things!"

"I'll eat later... I just woke up and I'm not hungry..."

"Then I'll take it to the kitchen and put it away. If you want to eat, ask Ryan to heat it up for you."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Bofu seemed to suddenly think of something, and added something.

"In the future, Ryan will be our retainer, or nanny, servant, it's all the same anyway..."

Chen Jing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the little skull Ryan standing aside, with several big question marks appearing on his face.

"This little guy is very smart. He can help me take care of you in the future. When grandpa is not at home, he can also help you serve tea, pour water, wash clothes and fold quilts..."

"I'm not paralyzed anymore, I don't need others to take care of me..."

"I want what I want!"

Ryan has changed into a set of whitewashed children's clothes at this moment, and he doesn't know where he found them, and he doesn't stutter much anymore, and his conversation is as fluent as if he had changed a skull head.

"Young Master, you can rest assured to recover from your illness! I am involved in all the big and small things at home! The master has already told me what you like to eat! Ryan will make it for you tomorrow!"

"..."

"Don't worry, master! Ryan will study hard in the future! He will definitely serve the young master and the master better in the future!"

At this moment, Ryan couldn't see the helplessness on Chen Jing's face at all, but was as excited as if he was beating chicken blood, as if for him, being able to integrate into this family was a supreme honor...

But it's a pity that Chen Jing is helpless at this moment.

After all, he is not a part of this world, and he still can't accept the feeling of raising a servant in his family.

He doesn't like being ordered by others, and he doesn't like to order others either.

"My dear grandson, if you are sleepy, lie down and sleep for a while. Grandpa will go out first, so as not to disturb your rest... But don't be afraid! Grandpa is just sitting in the living room! Not going anywhere!"

"okay."

"Lian, take the things to the kitchen!"

"understand!"

With the bedroom door closed.

Chen Jing was the only one left in the empty room.

"Am I a liar..."

The smile on Chen Jing's face had long been put away, and he looked out of the window at the ever-changing night in perplexity, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

to be frank.

He started making friends just with a "mission accomplished" mentality.

Bite the bullet and interact with strange neighbors.

He does what the other party says.

From the beginning to the end, they almost followed the other party's wishes.

Being able to do this step, he feels that he has done well enough, if he still can't complete that task, then there's nothing he can do...

After all, this is like a game, not every side mission can be completed to full extent.

But in the process of completing the task... Chen Jing felt that he had become less like himself, because he found that besides the ultimate goal of completing the task, there were many things in his mind.

Especially with Kui Nan.

Maybe it was really because they had experienced a fatal threat, so it was difficult for Chen Jing to treat Kui Nan as a game NPC, and he would only feel sad when she called him a liar.

At this moment, he felt very guilty, and even felt a little stupid.

If I had thought of a better way to get in touch with Kui Nan in the first place, instead of making up an identity to perfuse her, would everything be different?
"What should I do now..."

"How did it work in the TV series..."

"Apologize?"

Chen Jing sat on the bed and thought for a while under the quilt, frowning so much that he could kill flies.

"Her eyes look sad..."

"Did I go a little too far..."

"But I really didn't mean to lie to her..."

"It seems a bit too much..."

Chen Jing curled up beside the bed like a child, with only half of his face exposed outside the quilt on his head, with a very tangled look in his eyes.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Chen Jing is indeed no different from a child.

At least when it comes to socializing with friends...

He really doesn't have any experience.

As if a child had broken up with a good friend, Chen Jing felt aggrieved besides the guilt... But after thinking for a while, he decided to go to Kui Nan to clarify, at least he should explain.

"My dear grandson, why did you come out all of a sudden?"

Chen Bofu was lying on the sofa in the living room, and Ryan was squatting aside to help him squeeze his shoulders and beat his back. Seeing Chen Jing walking out suddenly with a absent-minded expression, they all looked over at the same time.

Especially Chen Bofu, who was a grandfather, jumped up from the sofa like a kite, grabbed Chen Jing with a panicked expression, and checked his body for him.

"Your current physical condition..."

"It's okay." Chen Jing said with a smile, "I can feel that it's much better."

"Then are you hungry?" Chen Bofu said, then turned his head and gave Ryan a look, "Go to the hot food! Don't starve my grandson!"

"Got it, sir!"

"Don't be hot, I'm going out for a while..."

Chen Jing went to the shoe cabinet to change the shoes he was wearing when he went out, but when he thought that he was going to see Kui Nan, he stopped his movements again.

"Forget it, let's warm it up, Ryan, help me put it in a lunch box, and I'll pack it up and eat."

"Good sir!"

Chen Bofu glanced at Ryan who was bouncing to the kitchen to warm up the dishes, and then turned his head to look at Chen Jing.

"Are you going to find that crazy girl?"

"Ah."

"Did you quarrel?"

"It doesn't count..."

"Stay away from her."

Hearing these abrupt words, Chen Jing couldn't help being startled.

"Stay away from her?"

"Hmm..." Chen Bofu turned his head away and continued to stare at the evening news broadcast on TV, speaking in a relaxed tone as if he was gossip about his neighbor, "Kai Nan is a very dangerous person."

Hearing what the old man said, Chen Jing was a little surprised.

He didn't expect such a "high evaluation" to come out of the old man's mouth.

Yes.

good review.

If Chen Bofu can even call it "dangerous", then she...

"It's dangerous to you, but it doesn't matter to me." Chen Bofu didn't need to look back at Chen Jing's expression, he seemed to be able to guess what he was thinking, "That girl is crazy..."

"Crazier than you?"

"Without me... Oh no, Jingjing, do you have a problem with grandpa? What do you mean being crazier than me?"

"Just kidding." Chen Jing hurriedly changed the subject, "Grandpa, continue talking."

"Don't interrupt me!"

Chen Bofu rolled his eyes at him angrily, and stroked his afro head like Einstein.

"Uh... where did I go..."

"Oh yes, that girl is crazy, you must stay away from her!"

As he spoke, Chen Bofu suddenly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

It looks like an ordinary commercial cigarette, but Chen Jing has never seen the brand of this cigarette. The colorful logo is a huge skull with a thumbs up, and there is a line of bold characters underneath...

[If you can't smoke to death, you can smoke to death].

"Although we moved to this community later, I have heard that the girl Kui Nan has been crazy since she was a child."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Chen Bofu snapped his fingers lightly, and the end of the cigarette suddenly lit up with a scarlet flame.

"When she was five years old, she killed the family of four next door because of a quarrel..."

"When she was eight years old, her father beat her so hard that she killed her own father..."

"When she was 12 years old, she didn't know why she quarreled with her mother. Her mother was thrown from upstairs and fell to pieces..."

"When she was 16, two of her friends went to celebrate her birthday, and then they made an appointment to hang out together, and it turned out... hehe."

Chen Bofu smiled unabated with a cigarette in his mouth, as if he was talking about a particularly interesting joke.

"If the security guards hadn't salvaged them in time, I'm afraid the bodies of the two girls would still be wandering in the Siyue River."

Say it.

Chen Bofu also saw the unbelievable expression on Chen Jing's face, and immediately gave a word of relief.

"My good grandson wants to make friends, of course grandpa supports it, but Kui Nan is too dangerous for you..."

Chen Bofu reminded earnestly.

"If that girl goes crazy, she won't even let her be a bullshit friend, she won't let go of her biological parents, so you'd better listen to Grandpa's advice and stay away from her."

"There must be some misunderstanding... I don't think she is that kind of person..."

Chen Jing couldn't help retorting, thinking of everything he experienced today, he really couldn't connect the Kui Nan in his impression with the "lunatic" in the old man's mouth.

She did have a temper tantrum.

Sometimes you can't do things with your head.

but……

……

"How did you come?"

"I'm afraid the old lunatic won't treat you well!"

……

"I feel much better already, I shouldn't need to take medicine..."

"Eat! I bought it with money! You have to eat even if you are not sick!"

……

"By the way, little brother, what's your name?"

"Chen Jing."

"Oh... My name is Kui Nan. The name on the receipt must have been written by that old lunatic. What kind of shit has no brains. I have the most brains!"

……

"Master! The food is packed! I will accompany you..."

"No, I'll go by myself."

"Are you really going to look for her?" Chen Bofu was taken aback, seeing that his grandson didn't listen and was not angry, he shook his head dumbfounded, "It seems that you don't believe what grandpa said..."

"Yes, but I think there must be some misunderstanding."

Chen Jing took the plastic bag containing the lunch box from Ryan, and put the key from the shoe cabinet into his pocket, with a normal expression on his face.

"And I have to go to her and apologize, or I won't be able to sleep."

"How old are you, why are you still acting like a child..."

Chen Bofu turned his head to continue watching TV with a cigarette in his mouth, and he still smiled unabated when he heard the sound of the door closing behind him.

Forget it.

Let the grandson do whatever he wants to do. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about with me watching in this building...

At this point, the news program on TV has ended.

Chen Bofu rubbed his cloudy old eyes, slowly got up from the sofa, stood up straight and stretched comfortably, a series of crisp sounds suddenly sounded from his thin and stooped body.

"Lian, you wait here for the young master to come back, I'll lie down for a while."

"Good sir!"

"Do you want to watch TV? If you don't, I'll turn it off."

"I... I don't want to read it..."

"You can watch it if you want, our house is not short of the electricity bill..."

Just as Ryan took the remote control from Chen Bofu's hand carefully, the black and white screen mobile phone that was placed aside suddenly rang.

Chen Bofu glanced at the caller ID, then yawned and connected.

"Hey?"

"Old man, it's me, Yu Fei."

Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Bofu raised his hands and clapped his ears, and said impatiently: "Oh, I can hear your voice, Mr. Yufei, the magistrate of Taiping District, right?"

As soon as Chen Bofu became polite, the person on the other end of the phone couldn't sit still.

"Grandpa, I just found out about the attack on your grandson. No one thought that the waste soil pollution species would enter the city during the sacrificial month..."

The tone of Yu Fei on the other end of the phone became more and more tense, as if he knew that he would be in big trouble if he couldn't explain this matter clearly.

"Originally, I wanted to explain to you in person, but my investigation has not yet taken shape..."

"Okay, then you go and check it first, why are you talking so much to an old man like me."

Chen Bofu also just laughed, but the sense of oppression revealed in his words made Yufei on the other end of the phone feel a little terrified.

Because he knew what this old lunatic's reverse scale was.

"Old man, I will give you an account of this matter."

Hearing Yu Fei's swearing assurance, Chen Bofu didn't answer, but stared at the chandelier on the ceiling in a daze for a while.

Although Yufei on the other side of the phone couldn't hear Chen Bofu's voice, she didn't dare to hang up the phone, and could only wait patiently.

"You come over tomorrow." Chen Bofu said suddenly.

Yu Fei didn't make a sound, as if hesitating.

"Tomorrow at noon." Chen Bofu added.

Upon hearing this, Yu Fei immediately knew that he had no possibility of refusing, let alone he did not have the guts to refuse.

"it is good."

"Come back after dinner time! Don't even think about eating at my house!"

"……OK."
