Even without this accident, Grandma and relatives would have advised my parents that a girl's education isn't necessarily that great, and that we should marry her off after she finishes high school. They said that would bring immense wealth, fill the family's financial gaps, and allow her to live a good life. They said that going to school wouldn't provide such a life.
And each relative who visits receives tens of thousands of yuan for matchmaking...
She didn't know that being beautiful would make her a target for bad people. If that's the case, why be beautiful? She'd rather be ugly...
So when she saw the uncles and aunts who used to treat her so well, who would give her red envelopes, actually fighting each other over matchmaking fees... she was truly terrified, disgusted, and heartbroken...
From then on, she went into hiding, and several times when she ran away, Uncle Hat brought her home.
She could only stall, stall, and hide while lying to her relatives, saying she was only willing to listen to one person and that the bride price would be divided among the relatives who arranged the marriage... This caused them to argue endlessly until they stopped ignoring her...
A person, a school uniform, a dilapidated bicycle, a patched-up schoolbag, a journey from despair to freedom, a heart yearning for pure love and justice, hoping never to be bound by material possessions again...
No one could have imagined that she would ride that old, beat-up bike for over a hundred kilometers, without eating or drinking, for a whole day and night, dodging the hat-wearing uncles on the road, until she finally reached her old school... She found her teacher and painstakingly explained her situation, begging to be allowed to return to school...
Then, she found a kind boss who agreed not to worry about her identification and even gave her an advance on her salary. However, because she was underage at the time, she had to wait half a month until she turned 18 before she could start working.
Speaking of which, that was the busiest birthday I've ever had... There was no cake or candles, just a long queue outside the milk tea shop, the hustle and bustle of the city, and students traveling or attending tutoring classes during their summer vacation...
Seeing the students studying, she couldn't help but fantasize that life back at school would surely be even better.
Later, more and more people came to buy milk tea because of her good looks... but it was time for her to go to school. Fortunately, the profits she brought in didn't cause the boss to lose money, and she still received her salary fairly fairly...
Yes, it was perfectly legitimate, and she didn't depend on anyone. Even when her boss offered to lend her money if she came to work during her holidays... she still refused.
Because social obligations are a powerful thing. Relatives back home owe many favors, and my grandmother also owes many favors, so she's needed—she needs to repay them...
She can't owe them money, or she'll lose her freedom again.
Furthermore, the boss noticed that her beauty could attract many young customers, and she was happy when people complimented her on her looks, but strongly disliked using her beauty to make money...
call,
Little Xixi will grow up slowly and become Adult Xixi.
It's not that Xixi is so great, it's just that, literally, she wants to become an adult.
Adults can't cry like children anymore; they need to learn to be responsible for themselves, to contribute their strength to help those around them, and then they can seek out the true, purest, most devoted, and most genuine love that belongs to them...
Later, unfortunately,
With her meager salary, she paid for accommodation, and with a little savings, she paid for books, meals, and more... only to find that she didn't have enough money.
She had no choice but to try different ways to make money, but she couldn't... and then Lin Mo picked her up.
She clearly stated that she didn't need help, especially not from that scumbag! It would turn her into a dependent, parasitic fool... because her father's secret lover is that kind of person...
But he was so persistent that he even called other girls to help her, just so as not to cross the line of her soft heart...
Finally, exhausted, hungry, and cold, she was taken to Ya Jie and Yu En's dormitory, where she discovered their secret...
She was really angry. She never expected that the person who helped her, whom she initially thought was just someone with some minor entanglements with a female classmate, would turn out to be such a scumbag!
This is practically testing the limits of her bottom line and morality!
later...
"Hmm... after that, it was all a mess, no need to recall it, you silly Xixi..."
"Now, no matter what the bottom line is, it's all broken..."
The girl got off the car, parked it, and without realizing it, rode her bike around the yard several times.
So Qingran had a reason for not letting her get down...
Ten minutes is really not enough.
For someone as sentimental as Xixi, ten minutes is far too short when reminiscing about past experiences...
It was so short that there wasn't even enough time to wipe away the tears.
"Okay, that's it~ It's just a car repair, and you're so touched. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at..."
"It's just some scoundrel taking advantage of the night to fix your car..."
"It's just that there are bad guys, sneaky and dishonest, who always inadvertently sneak into Xixi's heart..."
"Tch, Xixi isn't that easy to coax. Let me make it clear, I'm not being arrogant, no way~ Xixi just has a few more principles than the average person!"
"Hehehe, I knew Xixi was so charming! That jerk is still being stubborn, but he clearly has feelings for her. But I won't agree to it~"
"No way, no way!"
The energetic girl was talking to herself, seemingly trying to hypnotize herself.
"Mmm~ Mmm~ Mmm mmm~"
With bouncy steps and arms outstretched, as if flying, she returned to the big house and clattered up the stairs.
Li Qingran was already sitting on the sofa, and the bowl of fragrant porridge that had been served on the dining table had vanished without a trace.
The girl's face immediately fell; they really hadn't left her any...
"Qingran, is there no more porridge...?"
Li Qingran glanced at her coldly, then simply held up her phone for her to see. Shen Yanxi blinked and leaned in to look.
"Hmm~ It's only twelve o'clock~ Isn't it just lunchtime?"
"That's right, but you got up at nine o'clock."
Li Qingran did a simple math calculation: "You've been playing downstairs for three hours now."
"To be precise, she cried loudly while ringing the bicycle bell and playing noisily for three hours."
"Huh?! Is it...is it that exaggerated?!" Shen Yanxi was startled, shrinking her neck and taking a step back, pointing at Li Qingran:
"Qingran, did you... did you use Doraemon to speed up time?!"
"No, and Doraemon doesn't have any gadgets to speed up time." Li Qingran picked up the water bottle, a Pikachu water bottle with a spout... It's a cute type, but it feels strangely out of place for a cool and aloof girl to use it.
Oh no... I've run into an expert.
"Waaaah... But Xixi is so hungry right now~ Sister Ranran~ Food~"
Oh no, Xixi has become a useless beggar... So sad.
It's okay! Asking Qingran for a favor isn't really asking for a favor! I'll pay her back later!
Li Qingran remained silent, simply watching her act out.
The sucker, held between the girl's pink lips and pearly teeth, makes a cute "pop" sound when she sucks on it.
"Pfft..." Shen Yanxi couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing Li Qingran's gaze sharpen, she quickly covered her mouth, babbling in panic.
"Ah, I, I wasn't laughing at Qingran, uh... it's this kettle, by the way, the kettle looks really funny!"
"This is Lin Mo's water bottle, Qing Ran likes it very much."
"...Uh, well, oh dear..." Shen Yanxi couldn't find any other excuse, so she could only let out a groan and bow to Li Qingran.
“Private Marseille!”
"Phew..." Li Qingran finished her water and sighed helplessly again.
"The porridge is kept warm in the rice cooker, there's still some."
"Really?!"
"Okay, go get it."
"Okay~"
The energetic girl ran cheerfully into the kitchen, without even taking gloves, shouting "It's so hot!" as she carried the small pot out.
"Xixi will serve you!"
Shen Yanxi was quite diligent; she even brought two small bowls, filled them with porridge, and handed them to Li Qingran.
She held the bowl contentedly, drinking with a silly grin, and every few sips she would give Li Qingran a giggle.
"Qingran, why aren't you eating?"
"Something came up, I forgot to tell you."
"Oh? What is it?"
"Your documents can be processed now. Lin Mo made several trips to check them for you. Since your parents are no longer here, you don't need the household registration booklet. Once your ID card is replaced, you can register for exams next semester."
After Li Qingran finished speaking, she picked up the bowl and took a small sip of porridge. The taste of happiness temporarily masked her jealousy, and she squinted her beautiful eyes, lost in the moment.
After those words, the atmosphere at the dinner table fell completely silent.
The smile vanished from Shen Yanxi's face. She, who usually loved to laugh and joke during meals, was now speechless...
It felt like there was a fishbone hidden in the sweet porridge; after excitedly swallowing it, I realized there was a fishbone stuck in my throat.
Only the crisp sound of a spoon tapping on a porcelain bowl, the shattering sound of tears dripping, and intermittent, rapid breathing remained.
It was so quiet that it made you want to forget the past...
Chapter 135 The Conflict Among the Five Women
"You mean...you were almost naked, fell asleep in his room...and woke up to find yourself being carried to your own bedroom?"
"Hey! Don't speak so loudly..." Jiang Wanfeng's face flushed red, and she shoved her best friend in embarrassment and annoyance.
"What are you afraid of? There's no one in the classroom right now."
"Isn't Ya Jie here?"
She can't hear.
"By the way, when was this incident?"
The day before Christmas...
Hu Yu'en's fox-like eyes widened, a look of surprise flashing across her face before her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she pouted and snorted.
"I'm afraid you don't consider me your best friend anymore. Tomorrow's the 31st, and you're only saying this now after so long... Right, right, it's because I'm not good enough for you. You're with Ya Jie, you're with Xi Xi, you fickle woman..."
"Hey, why are you always saying these things lately..." Jiang Wanfeng asked, hands on her hips.
"He went crazy after saying only a few words."
"What's wrong? Are you on your period these past few days?"
"It was my fault..." Hu Yu'en frowned slightly and glared at her best friend.
If I didn't go crazy over you, would I even be able to go see him...?
You get all the good things, and now I can't even get the soup. What does he think of me? He hasn't contacted me for days...
I haven't messaged him in a long time, afraid of making him suspicious again. It's all my fault...
No one is to blame.
But seeing my best friend eating so well, I really want to take her place right now... If you don't know how to play, don't play. Just give your account to Fox, or have her boost it for you. At least I can have some fun...
"Okay, okay... I should have told you sooner... I'm still not quite sure what to do, I... I don't even know how to talk to him normally anymore..."
"He hasn't been speaking properly these past few days, and I don't know if he's pretending to be confused... He hasn't reacted much."
"I couldn't help but yell at him because I was so shy... I didn't know what to say."
idiot.
Hu Yu'en suppressed the nameless anger in her heart.
Being mean to him... that's such an outrageous right...
"Hmm, that's normal. You're probably overthinking it. Maybe you fell asleep after you were dressed," the fox said coldly, arms crossed.
"How could a normal guy not get excited after seeing this?"
"But when I... woke up, I wasn't... I wasn't wearing a shirt..." Jiang Wanfeng hesitated, choosing her words carefully, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Oh, so you're just tired of seeing it."
"Huh? Bored... What? It's not like anything's wrong!"
"He's simply tired of you. On the bright side, you're an old married couple, and he doesn't care about these things anymore. On the other hand, you're not exciting enough for him anymore."
Hu Yu'en pouted; she no longer wanted to say anything nice.
"Yu'en...you sound really resentful, and you don't look too good either."
