Falling in love while doing tasks [Quick Wear]

In the small, dim room, various takeout boxes were scattered all over the floor.
A small incandescent lamp hung from the ceiling, and the dim white light was almost swallowed up by the darkness.

Song Chu tightly grasped the photo in his hand and timidly looked at the drunken woman sitting on the single bed.
"Mom, I'm hungry..."

"What are you hungry for? You just open your mouth and yell all day, I'll starve you to death! Just wait!"

Chu Yu's cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were still clear as she stared at her phone. When she heard Song Chu's words, she cursed him impatiently.
After replying to the other party's message, she glared at Song Chu fiercely and started ordering takeout.

Watching Chu Yu ordering takeout and happily chatting with the man she just met yesterday, Song Chu touched his shriveled stomach, quietly stepped back two steps, and then whispered:
"Mom, do I still need to go to school?"

"You're not going to school, do you think I have enough money to support you? You're lucky enough not to starve to death!"
Chu Yu was texting the man sweetly while cursing him angrily.

Song Chu shrank her neck, and when she saw that Chu Yu didn't hit her, she became bolder, her large, protruding eyes filled with anticipation.
"Mom, if I don't go to school, can I see Dad?"

Chu Yu paused with his fingers on the keyboard and lowered his eyes with a puzzled expression.

A full month has passed since they left and settled in this city. At first, they were able to live in a five-star hotel and enjoy a comfortable life, but now they have run out of money and have sold all their valuables.
Their initial extravagant spending has now forced them to live in a shabby little room like this.

Last week, Song Yuanqi was found guilty of all the charges and sentenced to fifteen years. She already knew that everything she had spent on Song Yuanqi in her life was wasted. And now she had to take care of a burden.

It was this burden that had caused her to hook up with several rich men without success. Only after meeting this man yesterday did she see an opportunity, and she couldn't let Song Chu ruin her plans no matter what.

The room was quiet for a while, and then the woman's sharp and sarcastic voice was heard.

"Your father is in jail, and you still want to see him? He is your biological son. Why, you can't live with me? Then go find him yourself. Without you, I feel relieved!"

"I didn't... I'm not a burden, wuwu, I just miss my dad..."
Holding the photo tightly in both hands, Song Chu spoke in a hoarse and sobbing voice, and tears could not stop falling.

"Go ahead if you want to! Why are you crying in front of me?!"
Chu Yu's face looked grim. She didn't even reply to the message. She just sat on the edge of the bed and pointed at her and cursed.

"Song Chu, let me tell you, if you want to live a good life with me, don't mention your father to me! Your crying and depressed look all day long only brings bad luck to me!"
"Your father is just a nobody now, not a big boss or a rich man! Without money, my mother and I won't be able to survive in the future!"

Song Chu finally couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his hand and wiped the tears from his face vigorously, crying:
"Wow, wow, wow... Mommy, won't you wait for Daddy? Aren't we a family?"

"Oh, a family? Do you want me to take you to jail with me?! Ah!"

Chu Yu threw the phone on the bed, stood up, walked to Song Chu and grabbed her ear hard.
The beautiful face that had been carefully maintained now looked a little haggard, and under the light it looked fierce and distorted.

"If you behave yourself, I can treat you better. If you don't, I will throw you directly into an orphanage and let you experience the hard life of hunger and cold! Do you understand?!"

"Wuwu, I understand, I understand. Mom, can you please let me go? I understand, wuwu..."
Song Chu looked at her with tears in his eyes, and the hatred in his eyes grew little by little.

Time flies, and the September school season has arrived.

Song Xu also received some news that made her very unhappy.
Shu Sheng also has to go to school.

The two are four years apart in age. Shu Shengyi is in the second grade of elementary school when school starts, while Song Xu himself has never even seen the gate of a kindergarten.

Qin Xueran was busy taking over the company again and did not notice the changes in Song Xu.

Until one day when I came home from work, I saw Song Xu sitting alone on the sofa. Cartoons were playing on TV, but she looked depressed.

Qin Xueran quickly walked over and picked her up, kissed her little face lovingly, and asked:
"Why are you unhappy, Xiaoxu? Are you missing your mother? Then can you come back earlier from now on?"

Song Xu hugged Qin Xueran's neck, rubbed her little face against her shoulder, and then said in a muffled voice:
"Mom, I want to go to school, too."

Although Qin Xueran started to go to work every day, Song Xu didn't feel too bad because she had Shu Shengyi by her side.

But now Shu Shengyi has also gone to school, and Song Xu can only stay at home with the new nanny every day, or go to Shu's house to stay with the housekeeper.

A long-lost feeling of loneliness enveloped her, and she seemed to have returned to the days in the previous world when Shu Shengyi left early.
The heart is desolate, no grass grows, and fear is spreading.

"Xiao Xu wants to go to school? How about going with Xiao Shu?"
Shu Sheng also attends an elite college in the city, Qingsheng Middle School, which covers kindergarten all the way to high school. It is said that it has abundant resources in all aspects.
The most important thing is that Shu Shengyi is also studying there and can look after Song Xu, which makes Qin Xueran feel more at ease.

Song Xu's eyes lit up and he immediately looked up at Qin Xueran.
"Really?" "Really? Xiaoshu's school also has a kindergarten. Xiaoxu can try it first. If you don't like it, Mom will find a new school."

"No, I'll go to Shengsheng's school. I can do it."
Song Xu shook his head violently, and all the sadness on his face disappeared.

Qin Xueran smiled, rubbed her little head, and carried her upstairs.

In less than two days, Song Xu's admission procedures were completed.

In the morning, when Shu Shengyi was still having breakfast, he saw Song Xu coming in with a small schoolbag.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning, Xu, how are your clothes?"
When Song Xu came closer, Shu Shengyi realized that the uniform she was wearing looked particularly familiar.

"It's a school uniform. From today on, I will go to school with you."
Little Song Xu shook her head happily, and the little tuft of hair on top of her head swayed back and forth, successfully attracting Shu Shengyi's attention.

Putting down the knife and fork, Shu Shengyi wiped his hands, then picked up Song Xu.
"Qingsheng's affiliated kindergarten? Which class is it?"

"Here, let me show you."
Song Xu took out the admission notice folded into a small square from the small pocket of his coat and slowly unfolded it to show her.

"He Miao Xiaoban?"

"Yeah~"
Song Xu nodded happily, then patted Shu Shengyi's shoulder, indicating that she should put him down.
"From now on, I can go to and from school with Shengsheng every day."

Shu Shengyi took her admission letter in her hand and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, Ah Xu. The elementary school and kindergarten are not far away. I will come to see you anytime. I guarantee that no one will bully you."

Song Xu looked up at her with a smile, her childish voice soft.
"Okay, I'm not afraid as long as Shengsheng protects me."

Since that day, the beautiful and aloof goddess in Class A of Grade 2 of Qingsheng Primary School disappeared as soon as the get out of class was over. Even the teacher of Class A couldn't find her at first. If she hadn't been sitting upright in her seat during class, she would have almost contacted her parents.

It was only when the head teacher of Class A received a call from the teacher of the affiliated kindergarten that she learned that this student in the class who didn't like to socialize often played the seedlings running game in the kindergarten. So she quickly asked someone to call Shu Shengyi to the office.

Looking at the little girl in front of him with a slightly cold face, although she is young, she is beautiful and has good temperament, and her academic performance is good. Except for her unique personality, she is simply perfect. No wonder the nickname "Goddess" has been spread since she entered the elementary school a year ago.

The head teacher sighed quietly in his heart, and then asked softly:
"Student Shu Shengyi, the teacher didn't ask you to come here for study. In fact, the teacher of the He Miao kindergarten's small class called me just now and said that you often go there to see a child named Song Xu, right?"

"Yes."
Shu Sheng also nodded and asked concisely: "Song Xu and I know each other, and my behavior of going to the He Miao small class does not violate school rules and regulations, so is there any problem with this?"

"Ah, it's not a big deal."
The head teacher pinched his fingers awkwardly and lowered his voice:
"Well, it's like this. The teacher of He Miao's kindergarten class told me that Song Xu is very quiet except when he is a little lively after class. He doesn't like to play with other children. The teachers think that this is not conducive to the happy growth of the children, so they want to ask you to help persuade him. What do you think?"

Shu Sheng also remained silent. She knew more or less about what the teacher said, even though Ah Xu had never said it in front of her, but she could see that she didn't seem to fit in with this environment, just like she was now.

There was always a strange feeling that would emerge from the bottom of her heart when she was not paying attention, reminding her that she did not actually belong to this world. This feeling was subtle and incredible.

However, she chose to believe this feeling and accepted everything. In her eyes, this world seemed like a virtual game.
Even if it is mixed with more complex human nature, it is just a game and should not be believed or taken seriously.

Until the moment she saw Song Xu, she ran towards her step by step, as if every step was filled with color, dyeing the whole world brightly.

Accepting Ah Xu into her heart was the best thing she did. So she didn't want Ah Xu to have contact with other people. She was so selfish. Ah Xu could only belong to her.

"Teacher, everyone in the world is different, and their personalities are even more so. You can't expect everyone to live in the same way. Ah Xu and I have the same personality. It's enough for us to be together. We don't need any more people to enter our world."
Shu Shengyi finished speaking, turned around and walked out of the office under the stunned gaze of the head teacher.

After talking with the head teacher for a while, the ten minutes between classes were almost gone. Considering that there would be a half-hour break after the next class, Shu Shengyi hesitated for a moment and returned to the classroom.

Song Xu stood beside the kindergarten's playground, staring in the direction of the primary school, but did not see Shu Shengyi until the bell rang.

The teacher who was standing by came over and bent down beside her, smiling and saying:
"Little Song Xu, please go back to the classroom for class. Are you still waiting for that little classmate? Class has already started and she can't come over."

Song Xu withdrew his gaze and nodded to her with a tense face.
