After being reborn, who wouldn't want to have a younger sister?

Chapter 502 makes some sense
On May 1st, Yang Zhi did not go to Xincheng. She had not even considered the idea, let alone done it.

To Yang Zhi's great surprise, her mother did not scold her, and did not even repeat herself.

However, to Yangzhi's dismay, her mother had no intention of visiting her and simply let the matter pass by.

After so many years of neglect and indifference, Yang Zhi must have some resentment in her heart, but she dared not show it and could only keep it to herself. When she couldn't hold it in any longer, she would talk to Xu Mingyuan about it.

Xu Mingyuan wasn't very perceptive and couldn't quite articulate his thoughts, but Yang Zhi was simply seeking some comfort, and that was enough for him.

“Your brother went off to play by himself, humph, heartless.”

Today, Tao Shuxin took Xiao Yangzhi to Nanxi by herself. Driving was boring, and Xiao Yangzhi didn't say much.

Sometimes it's no wonder Tao Shuxin brought up Xu Mingyuan; otherwise, there would have been no one to talk to the whole way.
“My brother went on a business trip, not for fun.”

As usual, Yang Zhi defended Xu Mingyuan.

Yang Zhi couldn't understand why Tao Shuxin liked talking about others so much, talking badly about her brother in front of her, and talking badly about herself in front of her brother. Wasn't she bored?

"He didn't keep his word, did he? Didn't he promise to take you on some long trip?"

Tao Shuxin smacked her lips. "Xu Mingyuan is just trying to fool Xiao Yangzhi. How can he do that?"
If Tao Shuxin knew that Xiao Yangzhi thought she was talking badly about him, she would definitely vomit blood.

Do you have to be so sensitive? Is this even considered bad talk? At most, it's just complaining...

“It’s my own choice not to go. My brother is only going out for two days and he’ll be back tonight,” Yang Zhi said.

"Huh? How come I didn't know he was coming back today?"

Tao Shuxin was slightly surprised. Xu Mingyuan hadn't mentioned a specific return time when he left, and since the two were so familiar with each other, she didn't ask any further questions.

"You didn't ask my brother."

"Well, he didn't even tell me!"

"My brother is very busy."

Yang Zhi was a little smug. No matter where Xu Mingyuan was going, he would always tell her in advance, but Tao Shuxin didn't receive the same treatment.

"Little Zhizhi, how old are you? Why are you still clinging to your brother?" Tao Shuxin said, pouting.

"Does this have anything to do with age?" Yang Zhi asked.

"This...it doesn't seem to be related..."

"Ah."

"Uh……"

"Can you concentrate on driving?"

Seeing Tao Shuxin looking at her, Yang Zhi frowned and said.

"Alright alright."

Seeing that the timid little Yangzhi was nervously staring at the road ahead, Tao Shuxin stopped wondering about it.

This time when I returned to Nanxi, the scenery along the roadside was much better than last time. The grass and trees were lush and green, and there wasn't a single patch of yellow soil to be seen.

Even the weather outside is great, neither too cold nor too hot. May, when the temperature fluctuates between hot and cold, is the most comfortable season of the year.

"Turn at the next intersection."

Seeing that Tao Shuxin showed no sign of slowing down, Yang Zhi reminded her.

"Oh dear, don't I know the way better than you?"

"You should slow down."

Why slow down?

"I want to go home," Yang Zhi said, frowning.

"Why go home? Your brother isn't home, and Uncle Xu isn't home either. Are you going to go home and just stare at your stepmother?"

"Then I'll go home and stay there too," Yang Zhi said, sounding a little unhappy.

"Don't go back. Come with me to the city for a stroll. Your brother isn't here, so you have to come and keep me company."

"I dont go."

"no!"

Tao Shuxin also learned from Xu Mingyuan how to deal with Xiao Yangzhi. This little girl is stubborn and doesn't respond well to gentle persuasion, so sometimes you have to be firm with her, otherwise she'll dawdle.

"Put me down, or I'll jump off the train..." Yang Zhi said reluctantly.

"Jump out of the car?" Tao Shuxin was stunned for a moment, and quickly slowed down. But when she saw that Xiao Yangzhi had her hands on her legs and was not touching the door handle at all, she burst out laughing: "With your cowardice, you don't even dare to open the window, let alone the car door. Who are you trying to scare?"

"..."

Yang Zhi didn't answer, but just bit her lip lightly.

Yang Zhi doesn't like going to crowded places anymore. It's better when she goes out with Xu Mingyuan; they only need to walk around for half an hour. But Tao Shuxin never stops once she starts walking around, and she always likes to go to crowded places.

"Hmph, you dare to joke with your life? I'll tell your brother! I'll have him come back and deal with you!" Tao Shuxin said.

"Can you please stop tattling?"

Yang Zhi was a little speechless. Xu Mingyuan was somewhat reluctant to talk about things like life and death, and she didn't want to be talked about it.

"No!" "Go ahead and tell on me. My brother will only say a few words to me at most," Yang Zhi said, pursing her lips.
"Hey, come with me to get a haircut. It won't take long. It'll be so boring if I go alone. I won't tell your brother."

Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi was acting like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, Tao Shuxin had no choice but to take a step back.

Xiao Yangzhi was just an innocent young girl who bullied Tao Shuxin all the time, making Tao Shuxin feel a little embarrassed.

And when Tao Shuxin discovered that Xiao Yangzhi was secretly cutting her hair with scissors, she couldn't stand it anymore.

Isn't this living too carelessly? Especially for a young girl, how can she live like this?

Yang Zhi had never been to a barbershop before. When she was little, her mother would cut her hair for her, but when she grew up, she cut her own hair. It was inevitable that she would be a little flustered when she entered a barbershop for the first time.

"Just perm her hair, don't dye it, and trim the sides."

Tao Shuxin is a regular customer and was even persuaded to buy a membership card, which she still hasn't used up. She brought Xiao Yangzhi along for a haircut.

"I won't cut it," Yang Zhi said, shaking her head.

"Let the hairdresser fix your hair. They're professionals. You can't just cut it yourself. It would be such a waste of your beautiful hair."

“I don’t like people touching my hair,” Yang Zhi said, frowning.

"What are you afraid of if there's a female hairdresser?"

"Men and women are the same."

“Your brother usually comes to this barbershop to get his hair cut, and he doesn’t mind at all. You’re so fussy,” Tao Shuxin said with a helpless expression.

"That's my brother."

"Hey! Hurry up! If you keep this up, I'm going to call your brother!"

"Go ahead and hit me, my brother won't force me."

Yang Zhi wasn't buying it. As long as she didn't complain, she didn't care what Tao Shuxin said.

"Sigh, don't you want to be prettier?"

"I'm already very beautiful."

"Cough cough cough... Wow! I never expected this! Little Zhizhi! You're even more shameless than me!"

"That's how it is..."

Upon hearing Tao Shuxin's exclamation, Yang Zhi's face immediately turned half red, and she could only mutter to herself in a barely audible voice.

Yang Zhi is quite confident in her appearance. After all, she has been seen by people since she was a child. She has only heard people say that she is pretentious and affected, but she has never heard anyone say that she is ugly.

Meanwhile, Tao Shuxin had already called Xu Mingyuan. Seeing this, Yang Zhi quietly walked over to her side to listen to what the two of them were saying.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, are you going back to Nanxi today?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"Yes, I'll be back today. I'm already at Jiangcheng Airport."

Why didn't you tell me sooner? I would have picked you up from the airport.

“My dad’s driver is here to pick me up. I have a dinner engagement tonight, and I won’t be back in Nanxi until at least eight or nine o’clock. Have you two had lunch?” Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Not yet. I wanted to bring Xiaozhizhi to get her hair cut, but she didn't want to. You should talk to her about it," Tao Shuxin complained.

"Why am I bringing this up? If she doesn't want to get a haircut, then she doesn't have to. Are you the dean of students? Why are you controlling her hairstyle?"

"Seriously? Xu Mingyuan, can't you take some responsibility?" Tao Shuxin said speechlessly.

"What does this have to do with being in charge?" Xu Mingyuan asked, puzzled.

"Xiao Zhizhi is a girl! Are you just going to make her cut her own hair for the rest of her life?" Tao Shuxin accused in a low voice.

"If she doesn't like it, just let her have her way. It's not a big deal."

“She doesn’t like going to school anyway. Since your family isn’t short of money, you might as well let her drop out. Why are you forcing her to do this?” Tao Shuxin asked.

Yang Zhi, who was listening nearby, surprisingly agreed with Tao Shuxin's statement for once. Going to school was indeed meaningless, and it would be better to drop out and stay at home...

"If you don't go to school, won't you become disconnected from society?"

"Experience what?! You're so protective of her, she can't even get to experience it properly, okay? She should at least try it once before making her own decision. All you do is buy those weird and wonderful foods, what's the point?"

As a girl raised in a normal family, Tao Shuxin did not agree with some of Xu Mingyuan's views.

Even if Xu Mingyuan is very capable, it doesn't mean that all his ideas are correct.

"..." Xu Mingyuan suddenly fell silent, feeling that Tao Shuxin's words made some sense. As expected of a girl raised in a teacher's family, he thought for a moment and then asked, "Where is Xiao Yangzhi?"

"She's right next to me... Hey! Little Zhizhi! Aren't you scary!"

As soon as Tao Shuxin turned her head, she saw Xiao Yangzhi right next to her ear, and she almost bumped into her when she turned her head.

Especially Xiao Yangzhi's resentful eyes, as if she owed her two hundred yuan, she would definitely have nightmares if she saw that!

Holy crap! They were eavesdropping on people's phone calls? How unethical!
Tao Shuxin suddenly realized what was going on.

Yang Zhi, however, rolled her eyes, which was quite rare for her. She had seen Tao Shuxin roll her eyes all the time, and even if Tao Shuxin didn't want to learn, she must have picked it up after spending so much time together.

You have such a big mouth! All you do is give out bad advice. My brother knows more than you.
So annoying...
