Chapter 215 Heartache

Chapter 215 Heartache
"elder brother……"

"Tsk, why don't you go to bed? What are you going to do?"

Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi didn't knock on the door again, Xu Mingyuan frowned.

"I feel like I'm going to fail the test..."

Yang Zhi crossed and rubbed her fingers, not daring to look up.

"Why didn't you say it earlier or later? Why are you saying it now?"

"I, I don't dare..."

"What's wrong? You handed in a blank paper?"

Seeing her like a primary school student who had made a mistake, Xu Mingyuan asked.

"No no."

Yang Zhi waved her hands repeatedly. No matter how brave she was, she didn't dare to hand in a blank paper.

"So you ranked last in the exam?"

"nor."

Yang Zhi shook his head.

"That's it. It doesn't matter if you did poorly on the exam. I'll give the teacher some gifts and ask him to take better care of you." Xu Mingyuan said.

Xiao Yangzhi is introverted and sensitive. She must be afraid of criticism. She will tell Lao Gao when the time comes.

“I can’t get first place in the exam.”

"It's okay. I haven't gotten first place in many exams." Xu Mingyuan said nonchalantly.

"I might not even be able to get second place." Yang Zhi explained immediately.

"Can you take third place?"

"That's about right..." Yang Zhi said, raising his eyes.

"Top three isn't enough? That's good enough. What's the point of working yourself to death to fight for the first place? Okay, go back to sleep. You don't have to get up too early tomorrow." Xu Mingyuan waved his hand and sent her away.

Xiao Yangzhi was at a disadvantage in her first year of high school because her science grades were average.

Moreover, high school places more emphasis on logical thinking ability. It is difficult to get good grades by rote memorization like in junior high school. A drop in grades is inevitable.

"Oh……"

Yang Zhi hesitated for a while, but finally closed the door.

The opportunity today was not found, and my brother does not care about his grades.

Oh, I should have known not to say the top three, but to say I was ranked after the top ten. I don’t know what the questions will be like tomorrow. What if I don’t know the answers? This is not considered a lie, right?

My brother must be comforting me since my grades have dropped so much.

It’s a pity that I just said that I would be in the top three in the exam, so I can’t talk nonsense anymore.

Yang Zhi filled the hot water bottle, made sure it was tightened so it wouldn't leak, and stuffed it into the quilt.

With the hot water bottle under my feet, everyone loves beauty. I use the small Yangzhi mirror more and more frequently, looking at my face carefully.

Winter is the most nourishing season. We eat heart-warming broth, and our physical activity is reduced. We also have to wear thick clothes for protection. After taking a bath, our skin turns pink, and under the orange desk lamp, it glows with a crystal clear light.

Yang Zhi knew that she was very beautiful, and tentatively asked Tao Shuxin about her situation in school. She knew that she was more popular than Tao Shuxin in school.

But everyone's aesthetic taste is different. Yang Zhi felt nervous, but she didn't dare to ask her brother who was prettier between her and Tao Shuxin.

But today, Yang Zhi felt more confident.

Yang Zhi was a thoughtful person. She knew very well that subconscious behavior was the easiest way to reveal one's inner thoughts. She caught her brother's unintentional look of surprise.

At least in my brother's heart, I must be beautiful. This is not something I say to make myself happy, but a thought that comes from my heart.

Not only that, Yang Zhi hadn't heard her brother talk about life for a long time.

She had always been confused when listening to it before, and although she didn't understand it, she still took notes carefully.

When Yang Zhi found out that her brother stopped talking, she felt a little nervous at first.

By now Yang Zhi understood that her brother was a very good person and accepted that she could be the tea server.

Yang Zhi was happy just thinking that she didn't have to face the unknown society outside her home.

I felt even happier when I thought that I would have a holiday soon after the exams.

Holding the furry teddy bear, Yang Zhi suddenly had an idea. There were some thermal underwear in the washing machine.

Yang Zhi quickly shook off this dangerous thought, and then she heard her brother say that Tao Shuxin's smelling her scent was abnormal behavior, and if she did that, she would be no different from a psychopath...

……

The three-day final exam finally ended this afternoon.

Yang Zhi frowned and listened to her classmates' answers. She had a rough guess in her mind.

This final exam is definitely not as good as the midterm exam. I can't expect to be first in the class. It will be good enough if I can rank third. I will probably be ranked after 40th in the grade.

Yang Zhi spent a lot of time on preparation, and she was mentally prepared for such a test.

"These little gifts are her little token of appreciation. I wish you all a happy holiday."

"Brother Yangzhi, it's great that you treat us to a meal, but the gift is too expensive."

Feng Qiaoli, who was in the same dormitory, became a little nervous when she saw the bag on the table with the word "Jinliufu" written on it.

"It's not worth much, Xiao Yangzhi, give it to your roommate."

Xu Mingyuan patted her shoulder and asked her to pass it on.

Yang Zhi stood up, took the bag and walked around the round table, placing the small boxes inside in front of everyone's table.

Inside are small accessories weighing a few grams. Students who come to live in the dormitory of No. 3 Middle School basically come from villages and towns to go to school in the city. Their family conditions are very ordinary, and gifts worth a few hundred yuan are very expensive.

"Thank you Yangzhi."

"Ah."

Yang Zhi nodded and continued to send it to the next roommate.

The little girls were sitting quietly as if they were waiting for their teacher to speak.

This was the scene when Xu Mingyuan first invited them to dinner. There was not much to say to the little girls, so this time he specially invited Tao Shuxin along.

With Tao Shuxin creating a lively atmosphere, the meal was not too lonely. Xu Mingyuan asked about Xiao Yangzhi's situation in the class and was relieved to know that she was not being bullied.

"Hey, your sister doesn't talk much, does she?"

Tao Shuxin leaned close to Xu Mingyuan's ear and whispered something.

Tao Shuxin now realized that Xiao Yangzhi had said enough to her.

Even when Xiao Yangzhi's roommate, who was with her day and night, asked her something, she would respond with a perfunctory "um, ah, oh", and only occasionally say a few words.

She was clearly the protagonist today, but now she was like an invisible person, eating in silence.

Tao Shuxin was frightened when she saw this. Judging from Xiao Yangzhi's attitude, it didn't mean that she was being isolated, but that she was actively isolating others.

Tao Shuxin herself is a little girl, and she knows very well how much girls love crickets. There are a lot of gossips behind their backs. No wonder Xu Mingyuan wants to invite Xiao Yangzhi's roommate to dinner.

"There's no way. What can I do? She was even worse before. She pretended not to hear anything others said. Do you think I was lying to you? She's fine now." Xu Mingyuan said helplessly.

At first, no matter what Xu Mingyuan asked Xiao Yangzhi, she would stammer and be unable to answer. After kicking her on the butt a few times, he finally straightened her out because of his power.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Tao Shuxin smacked her lips with a sigh.

She just has a low EQ, is a little heartless, and sometimes blurts out words that make people unhappy. But generally speaking, there are really few people who dislike her, at most it's just jealousy between little girls.

Tao Shuxin also followed Xu Mingyuan's advice and did not try to get along well with such a person.

Seeing her smacking her lips, Xu Mingyuan flicked her in annoyance.

"What are you doing?"

Tao Shuxin rubbed his forehead unhappily.

"Stop standing here and watching the fun." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Oh oh oh."

Seeing Yang Zhi frowning, Tao Shuxin quickly retracted his strange look and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Xiao Yangzhi's roommates needed to stay at school for one night, as they would take a bus home the next day. So they chose to eat at a place not far from No. 3 Middle School, and asked them to pack up the remaining food.

"Yangzhi, I've covered your bedding with plastic sheeting, so you don't have to worry about it getting wet." Jiang Xue said before leaving.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. See you next year."

"Goodbye."

Yang Zhi waved his hand gently in response.

After finally sending his classmates away, Yang Zhi couldn't wait to go home.

At this time, there was only one person left. Yang Zhi didn't want to wander around, so after her classmates left, she got into the car and didn't come out, waiting for her brother to send Tao Shuxin back quickly.

From Xiao Yangzhi's few words, Tao Shuxin knew that she didn't do well in the exam this time, and he didn't think about taking her out to play. Let's talk about it after two days.

Then they arrived at the back gate of Tao Shuxin's community. Seeing her brother getting out of the car with Tao Shuxin, Xiao Yangzhi quickly opened the car door.

It was only a few seconds, and when Yang Zhi closed the car door and turned around, she found two people hugging each other not far away, kissing each other shamelessly.

Yang Zhi raised her head and looked at the sky. Although it was not snowing, the wind blew the fallen snow across the roof, and a few ice flakes fell on her face.

It feels icy cold and heavy, making people feel depressed.

"Oh, okay, okay, your sister is watching, don't be ashamed."

When Tao Shuxin opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yangzhi standing not far away and watching her. She quickly pushed Xu Mingyuan away, her little face turning red with embarrassment.

"Teacher He has seen it, are you still afraid of being seen?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Get out of the way. I have to take the second subject test in a few days. Remember to help me." Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes.

"Okay, pass the test quickly, I'm still waiting for you to drive."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll damage your car?"

"What are you afraid of? Doesn't your father have a Mercedes-Benz? Let him pay for it."

"What a calculation! So you have this evil intention? I won't tell Dad and let him beat you up."

Tao Shuxin clenched her fist and punched his chest lightly. Knowing that he was joking, she smiled and kissed him on the face.

Seeing Tao Shuxin jumping away, Yang Zhi sat back in the passenger seat, a look of loneliness on her pretty face. Fortunately, the lights in the car were turned off, so her brother didn't notice anything unusual.

I don’t know when my brother will drink, so I will have a chance...
