Chapter 22 I am the protagonist

"Sister Zhen, come to think of it, we haven't seen each other for six or seven years."

In the public housing unit, Luo Huiling sat at the table, holding Zhao Meizhen's rough hands, her tone slightly sad.

"It's been more than six years. The last time we met was when A-Yuan's uncle had a stroke and I went with you to Yuen Long to visit him!"

Zhao Meizhen's eyes were lost in memories, and she chuckled and said.

Luo Huiling said dissatisfiedly: "If I hadn't known that you would go that year, Sister Zhen, I would have gone to Yuen Long to visit him. The Zhai family are ungrateful wolves..."

Zhao Meizhen patted the back of her hand and interrupted with a smile: "The children are all here, let's not talk about this. You too, why didn't you tell me that you moved from Cheung Chau? I called you today and found out that you moved to Tuen Mun."

Luo Huiling smiled so much that her eyes curved when she heard this. She leaned close to Zhao Meizhen's ear and whispered, "I got pregnant with my third child two years ago, and her father saw that there was no room for us in Cheung Chau, so he moved."

Zhao Meizhen was surprised and delighted: "Oh! Is it a boy or a girl?"

Luo Huiling was beaming with joy: "It's a good thing. I've helped the Zhou family to continue the family line this time. It's a relief for her father to complain about my poor pregnancy all day long."

The two middle-aged women who had not seen each other for a long time started talking endlessly.

Zhai Yao held her chin with both hands, showing a bored expression.

Zhai Yuan stared straight at his cousin Hai Mei in front of him with an unbridled look, without even a hint of pretense.

Sixteen-year-old Zhou Haimei has not yet lost her youthfulness. Her cheeks are still a little chubby, and she has short student hair that exposes her ears. On her nose rests a pair of slightly rustic yellow plastic-framed glasses, and behind the lenses lies a pair of bright, black eyes.

Zhao Meizhen and Luo Huiling were chatting happily, and Zhou Haimei leaned against Luo Huiling, listening quietly with her face turned sideways.

Until she realized that someone was staring at her, she looked up and met Zhai Yuan's eyes.

Zhou Haimei's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she smiled at Zhai Yuan, revealing her signature buck teeth, which added a bit of cuteness and playfulness to her.

Good looking, love to watch.

"Brother, I want to go out and play."

Zhai Yao was picking her fingers out of boredom, and finally couldn't help but push Zhai Yuan, her voice sounding a little coquettish.

Zhai Yuan looked straight ahead and said, "Leave if you want!"

Zhai Yao: “?”

……

The three people still walked out of the housing estate.

The main reason was that Zhao Meizhen suddenly remembered the important matter halfway through the conversation and wanted Zhai Yuan to develop a relationship with her cousin.

Luo Huiling obviously agreed. No one knew what Zhao Meizhen had said to her in private, but she looked at Zhai Yuan with a look of great satisfaction.

"Sister Haimei, are you still studying now?"

When they got outside, Zhai Yao immediately became cheerful and put her arm around Zhou Haimei's arm in a familiar and intimate manner.

"Yes, I'm in secondary school in Tuen Mun, Form 4."

Zhou Haimei is a bit introverted and speaks slowly.

Zhai Yuan took the initiative to move forward and said: "I am a secondary school student in Xiumaoping and will graduate from Form 6 soon."

Zhai Yao gave him a look of disdain: "Who asked you?"

Zhai Yuan angrily said, "Whether you ask me or not, I am also in Form 6! I was born in the year of the horse and I am seventeen this year!"

"Ignore him. Sister Haimei, shall we go to the movies?"

Zhai Yao simply stopped looking at him and turned to talk to Zhou Haimei.

"What movie are you watching?"

"I don't know what new movies are available recently, let's go to the cinema to watch them first."

"Okay." "Wow! Sister Haimei, you smell so good, did you put on perfume?"

"No, maybe I changed the soap when I took a shower last night."

The two girls soon became engaged in a lively conversation, their laughter filling the air.

Zhai Yuan followed behind and watched Zhai Yao put her nose to Zhou Haimei's neck to sniff, causing the girl to giggle, and tears of envy almost flowed from the corners of her mouth.

That's not right! I'm the protagonist!
Teacher Chen Peisi's voice inexplicably appeared in his mind, and he began to regret bringing Zhai Yao out.

This girl has been getting more and more aggressive recently. No, I'm going to tell her tomorrow that the video hall has been closed down and I'm in debt. I have to make her return to her original bitter and resentful self!

Zhai Yao seemed to sense the malicious gaze behind her and suddenly stopped.

Turning around, she stared at Zhai Yuan.

"What's the matter, Yaoyao?"

Zhai Yuan's heart trembled, and he immediately put on a flattering smile and moved closer.

"Sister Haimei said she wears her sister's leftover clothes at home, and I also wear your leftover clothes at home, but we are sisters so it doesn't matter. Your old clothes have a stinky sweat smell that can't be washed out!"

Zhai Yao finished her words, and her true intentions became clear: "Now that you have made a lot of money, shouldn't you compensate me and buy me some new clothes?"

This map of Yan State is really long.

"Next time, just say what you want to say. No need to lay so much foundation. I smell good too." Zhai Yuan looked at his sister with resentment.

"So are you going to buy it or not?" Zhai Yao asked, baring his fangs.

"Buy it! Of course you have to buy it. You and Haimei can choose whatever you want. The boss will treat us today." Zhai Yuan acted like a powerful and wealthy man.

Zhou Haimei waved her hands repeatedly: "No need for that. I'll just take Yaoyao for a stroll."

Zhai Yao raised her chin proudly: "Sister Haimei, it's okay. My brother is very rich now. He also said that he would buy a western-style house in the future and let my mother and I move out of the housing estate."

After saying this, when Zhou Haimei looked at Zhai Yuan again, there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Her family background is actually very ordinary, not much better than Zhai Yuan's, otherwise she would not have moved from the outlying islands to a housing estate in Tuen Mun in recent years.

Being able to live in a public housing unit and go to school was already a great improvement in Zhou Haimei's life. Moreover, she now had a younger brother and the expenses were increasing. She had never even thought about buying a Western-style house.

Looking at Zhou Haimei's surprised eyes, Zhai Yuan coughed lightly and straightened his back unconsciously.

She has to be my biological sister, who can help me save face at the critical moment.

"Let's go pick out some nice clothes first, then go to the cinema to watch a movie, and then have dinner at the restaurant where I work, okay?"

Zhai Yao pulled Zhou Haimei forward again, her voice brisk.

"Isn't it a waste of money? I just came here with my mother to meet Aunt Zhen. I don't want to cause any trouble for you."

Zhou Haimei's tone was conflicted, but there was also a hint of anticipation: "By the way, what kind of business does cousin Ayuan do?"

Zhai Yao said in a rough voice: "He recently opened two video halls, the kind that show movies in public housing. But they are all dirty and filthy Category III movies. I don't know why those monkey guys are interested in them and are willing to spend three dollars to buy tickets. I'm afraid I'll get an eye disease if I watch them for one more time."

Zhou Haimei sighed, turned around to look at Zhai Yuan with a complicated look, and unconsciously quickened her pace.

Zhai Yuan's smug smile froze on his face in an instant. He looked at Zhai Yao who was still chattering and took a few deep breaths.

Close! The video room must be closed! I will go to the police station to bail out the genie tomorrow and let him reopen the bar to let this little girl know what the world is like!

Also, Liang Zhichao who is obsessed with your old taste!

I asked you to keep an eye on the business of the video hall, but you let my sister break in and see the scenes on TV.

I'll beat you to the street, and when the genie is released on bail, you can go to his bar and be a stripper!
