Chapter 103: No Strength
Chapter 103: No Strength
The next morning, as soon as Xu Mingyuan opened his eyes, he vaguely heard a creaking noise outside the door.
The sound was not loud. Xu Mingyuan listened carefully for a while before he realized that Xiao Yangzhi was mopping the floor.
This little girl is really boring. Apart from going to school and studying, she spends the rest of her time either daydreaming or cleaning the house.
At first, Xu Mingyuan thought that Xiao Yangzhi was trying hard to play her role, and was afraid that she would be disliked by others for being useless, and then she would open the door and be thrown out.
Xiao Yangzhi might have held this idea at first, but now it is no longer the case.
Xu Mingyuan also gradually understood some of her unusual behaviors, which were simply her desire to maintain every bit of this family, and that was where her pleasure lay.
The plastic steel community will be demolished in three years.
The land was quite expensive at that time. The developer lost so much money after building the building that he had to pawn it, and in the end Xu Mingyuan got a bargain.
This was something worth celebrating for Xu Mingyuan, but when he thought of little Yangzhi crying, he had no intention of telling her this cruel reality.
If Yang Hongyu fails to come back in the end, Xiao Yangzhi, as her immediate relative, will obtain ownership of the house.
As the guardian, Xu Jun still has to handle the matter on his behalf.
With this thought, the property rights went through a circle and returned to the hands of the Xu family.
This is life.
"That's enough, don't clean it up."
After Xu Mingyuan finished washing up, he saw her wiping the table again. He snatched the rag and threw it into the basin.
I've been wiping for a long time, and the water in the basin is clean. What else is there to wipe?
If you are really bored, you might as well play some games together.
"Ok."
When Yang Zhi saw Xu Mingyuan, her cheeks became rosy, probably from the sweat from doing housework.
Although little Yangzhi liked to stay at home, Xu Mingyuan was afraid that she would get lice, so he took her out after they had just eaten something simple.
I came across a small stall selling watermelons at the corner of Drum Tower. The sign said 25 cents per pound.
Xu Mingyuan threw down three dollars, picked a smaller watermelon, and asked the boss to help cut it and put it in the bag.
I found a bench for tourists to rest and ate watermelon with Xiao Yangzhi.
During this period, Xu Mingyuan received a call from Tao Shuxin and told her the specific location.
Not long after, following Xu Mingyuan's instructions, Tao Shuxin, wearing a thin green coat, appeared under the archway of the south gate of the Drum Tower.
"Look to the left. This side of the flower bed is the left side. Can't you tell the left from the right? Now it's the right side. You are really a talent..."
Seeing that she was too stupid to find her direction, Xu Mingyuan had to stand up and shout her name loudly.
When Tao Shuxin saw Xu Mingyuan, he trotted over. Just as he was about to pat him, he saw Xiao Yangzhi sitting next to him and immediately stopped.
"You came out with your sister?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"Yes, I ask you to help take Xiao Yangzhi to pick out two pieces of clothes." Xu Mingyuan said.
Originally, he was planning to take Xiao Yangzhi and her classmates out for a walk to relax, but who would have thought that Tao Shuxin would come out by herself.
Since she wanted to go out for a walk alone, she didn't make it clear in advance. How can Xu Mingyuan be blamed for this?
Tao Shuxin was quite resentful. She took out a watermelon from the bag and pushed Xu Mingyuan aside.
Depend on!
I finally got to go out alone, and you brought your sister with you...
Tao Shuxin was panicked for a long time, but she took advantage of her mother's busyness, greeted her, and before getting a response, she hurried out the door.
I thought today would be a sweet date, we would chat while shopping, but suddenly at some point it became quiet, and we leaned against each other in the hot atmosphere.
Because of this, Tao Shuxin didn't even sleep well, and even put on some eye cream when she woke up in the morning.
Click!
Tao Shuxin took a big bite of the watermelon, her mouth full of red juice, and squinted her eyes, as if she was gnawing on Xu Mingyuan's arm.
Hurrah!
No wonder he agreed so readily, it turns out he wanted me to do the hard labor!
Things have come to this point, and Tao Shuxin has no choice but to be bolder.
Otherwise she wouldn't be so flustered, but she couldn't find her way anywhere.
Now that I have a little follower by my side, my chaotic thoughts are put to rest and I just stroll around the street as usual.
When the weather gets hot, the Drum Tower becomes a favorite place for young people.
The department store is full of small stalls selling cheap items. If you want to buy something expensive, there are also some. The shops facing the street sell all branded goods.
Although Xiao Yangzhi acted indifferent, Tao Shuxin didn't care much because it wasn't the first time they met.
She specifically asked Xu Mingyuan why Xiao Yangzhi was like this. When she heard that she didn't even have a good friend, she felt that this little girl was so pitiful.
I remember the last time I picked clothes for Xiao Yangzhi was when the weather was cold, and they were no longer wearable now.
Seeing that she was wearing the same black and white casual clothes as Xu Mingyuan, Tao Shuxin felt a little jealous.
I feel that if the fabrics of these two people's clothes were changed, they would be almost the same as the school uniforms of No. 3 Middle School, without any taste. "Brother, is this one okay?"
Xiao Yangzhi was a little confused as she was trying to measure a pair of slim-fit jeans.
"Why are you asking him? He doesn't understand."
Tao Shuxin pouted, angry that the man would rather believe that bastard Xu Mingyuan than his own judgment.
"It looks good. Try changing it."
Xu Mingyuan waved his hand.
"Oh."
Yang Zhi nodded and went to the locker room.
Tao Shuxin pushed Xu Mingyuan and whispered, "Your sister looks better in a skirt, why don't you let her change."
"She's not used to it yet. If she wants to change, just ask."
"So do you think I look good in a skirt?"
Since they were out shopping, Tao Shuxin also bought a blue skirt and was already putting it on.
"It looks good." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Hey! You are such a jerk. Do you have to be so perfunctory?"
"How could I be perfunctory? I'm telling the truth. You look good in school uniform, let alone a skirt." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Tsk, go away."
Tao Shuxin stretched out her delicate fingers, pushed Xu Mingyuan's chest, and turned her back with a girlish heart.
It was almost noon, so I found a noodle restaurant nearby.
Tao Shuxin called Tang Lin and invited her to go shopping together in the afternoon. She also threatened Xu Mingyuan not to sneak out.
I had just taken a few bites of the noodles when a few little girls came in. They looked young and looked a bit childish.
"Is that Yangzhi?"
"It's really Yangzhi."
Xu Ming looked back and saw that it was Xiao Yangzhi's classmate, so he waved.
Duan Shihan, who used to be an acquaintance, was also among them, but she was not familiar with him now. This transfer student was able to mingle with his classmates, but no one asked Xiao Yangzhi to hang out with him, which was really worrying.
"You were playing outside too, so why did you say you had something to do when I called you yesterday?"
Duan Shihan recognized Yang Zhi and ran over.
"Well...my brother and I are going out."
Yang Zhi glanced at Xu Mingyuan and saw that he looked helpless and a little embarrassed.
"You didn't come last week either."
"Something happened last week."
Yang Zhi explained in a low voice.
"Oh, Brother Yangzhi, can we let her play with us? We're just strolling around the Drum Tower, so we won't go far."
"Of course you can, Xiao Yangzhi, go quickly. If you don't get together with your classmates, you won't have a good chance before graduation. I'll hold your clothes for you, and don't forget your phone."
Xu Mingyuan agreed decisively.
Instead of hanging out with Xu Mingyuan and his group of people who are about to graduate, it would be better to let her interact more with people of her age.
Although I can't change Xiao Yangzhi in a short time, everything must have a good beginning.
Most of Yang Zhi's classmates had met Xu Mingyuan before, so they were not nervous and sat down at a table to chat for a while.
Observing that the girls were all relatively well-behaved, Xu Mingyuan left Yang Zhi there with peace of mind. He pulled Tao Shuxin and asked her to go with him, and settled the bill for the two tables.
"How long will you let your sister and her classmates stay? I heard them say they want to hang out all afternoon."
"They can play as long as they want. Why should I care about that?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"Damn it, I just finished calling Tang Lin."
Tao Shuxin was stunned. She had originally wanted to take a walk with him alone for a while, but she didn't expect that now that she had the chance, she would be interrupted.
"Haha, then I'll give Tang Lin a call."
How could Xu Mingyuan not understand what she meant, so he took out his cell phone.
"Why did you call her?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"Tell her not to come out and just stay at home."
"No, no, you are not allowed to fight."
Tao Shuxin suddenly panicked and pulled his sleeve to grab the phone.
But I couldn't use any strength in my hands, and my mind was in a mess. I didn't know what to do...
