Chapter 251: Heart-grabbing

Chapter 251: Heart-grabbing
Yang Zhi's black hair was tied behind her head. Two strands of hair hooked around her ears and slid across her cheeks. Her smooth, oval-seed-like features looked flawless. She did not let her hair down and her bangs down, which made her look more girlish.

"Brother, I'm sorry..."

Yang Zhi, who was arranging the bedding on the cushion, suddenly muttered something in a low voice.

"What did you do wrong again?"

Xu Mingyuan scratched his head. Every time he saw Xiao Yangzhi, he felt a headache.

"I shouldn't have let you come back so late at night."

"I came back on my own. What does it have to do with you?"

"No, I'll just call later..."

"Well, you're good enough. What's the point of talking about this now? Why do you always worry about these things? Why don't you learn from me? Can't you be more open-minded like me?"

Xiao Yangzhi's procrastination is really frustrating. Xu Mingyuan has no idea how to deal with her.

But that's Xiao Yangzhi's personality. She doesn't talk much to begin with. If she is accused and beaten for no reason, she will become even less talkative in the future.

In the past, I asked Xiao Yangzhi, who was silent for a long time, to speak more. Now she talks more, but it’s starting to be annoying.

So Xu Mingyuan was caught in a dilemma at this time.

Every time after solving a difficult problem, Xiao Yangzhi would have a new problem waiting for her to solve. I don’t know why there are so many worries in her little head. It seems that there are endless troubles that can never be solved.

"Yeah, brother, I was wrong."

Yang Zhi nodded and agreed to what he said.

"Go as you go."

This time Xu Mingyuan had no intention of retreating and waved his hand to let her out of his sight.

"Oh."

Yang Zhi, whose bedding was snatched away, stood there at a loss as to what to do.

"Happy birthday."

But when it was Xiao Yangzhi's birthday, Xu Mingyuan felt that there was indeed something wrong with his attitude, so he spoke in a gentle voice again.

"Ah."

Yang Zhi smiled faintly, turned off the light and walked out.

Xu Mingyuan stretched and found that Xiao Yangzhi had made great progress. He thought she would stay here and not leave.

But he thought too much, and Yang Zhi would not miss this opportunity.

In less than ten minutes, Yang Zhi slipped over and grabbed a corner of his pillow without saying a word.

"Brother, I don't want to go to school anymore..."

Before Xu Mingyuan could say anything, Yang Zhi stopped him from saying anything.

This was not a reason she made up out of thin air, but rather an anxious thought she had had for the past few days.

"Tsk, is someone bullying you at school?"

Xu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment and asked with a frown.

"No."

"What's going on?"

"The house is getting more and more lonely. You are not at home, and uncle is not at home either. I am the only one at home."

There was a hint of sadness in Yang Zhi's tone, just like her warm body and mind, which seemed to be cooling down.

"Everyone has their own life. You don't have to revolve around someone to move forward. You also have to do your own things. Do you want to stay where you are?"

"Yes."

Yang Zhi nodded in agreement.

"You're screwed, go to sleep. If you don't go to school tomorrow, I'll kick you in the face! I was thinking of giving you half a day off to go out and play, but now you don't have to."

Xu Mingyuan was a little angry and wanted to hit her on the head, but when he raised his hand, he just pulled her face.

"No need to ask for leave." Yang Zhi shook her head and said, "Brother, you should come back on Saturday and Sunday when you have time. Otherwise, I will read books all day, which is very boring."

"Can't you stay at home? How can you be bored?"

"But you've played with me before, so I'll be thinking about it."

"Let's see. Every ten days or half a month, I can always come back for a stroll."

"Jiangcheng is not far from here..." Yang Zhi said weakly.

"Ha, you're asking for a lot."

"No, it just won't take as long as it does now."

Yang Zhi moved closer to him and closed her eyes after she finished speaking.

"Stay away."

"I'm cold. Touch me if you don't believe me."

Yang Zhi placed her hand on the skin of his wrist, and then on his smooth little feet.

"Don't move."

"Ah."

Yang Zhi secretly moved forward a little, rubbed his calf gently a few times, and then stopped moving.

Xu Mingyuan sighed.

Fortunately, I have achieved excellent results with Tao Shuxin, otherwise I would be hesitant now.

But Yang Zhi frowned in the dark, wondering if his appearance had changed.

She hasn't been looking very well lately, but Yang Zhi didn't dare to move any closer.

……

"Yang Zhi, you seem much happier today." Jiang Xue glanced at her deskmate, a little surprised.

"Is it?"

Yang Zhi frowned.

"Yeah, you've been reading every time after class these days, why are you looking out the window today?"

"I'm a little tired from studying." Yang Zhi said in a flat tone.

Now that she is fully charged, she will no longer think about things and can just let go of everything and be in a daze for a while like she used to.

Otherwise, Yang Zhi could only keep reading and try to fill his head.

"You look better, too."

"If I don't read, I won't feel tired."

Yang Zhi pursed her lips and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right."

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Jiang Xue shrugged and went about her own business.

At lunch time, Yang Zhi rarely ate bread and milk, but went to the cafeteria with his classmates.

When I was in elementary and junior high school, some classmates thought that sitting up straight and chewing food slowly were just pretending.

However, when she reached high school, her character gradually matured, and Yang Zhi's behavior was as delicate as her face, which only made her peers envious, and even jealousy was difficult to arise.

Xu Jun's behavior was much more high-profile than Xu Mingyuan's. Every time he came to pick up Xiao Yangzhi from school, he would drive to the school gate. Once, he even asked the public relations department to drive a business car to pick her up from school.

Although the richest and most powerful students in Nanxi are basically all in the No. 1 Middle School in the city, there are also students from wealthy families in the No. 3 Middle School. This behavior also caused students to criticize for a while.

After Yang Zhi's embarrassing refusal, Xu Jun did not continue to do such things.

Yang Zhi, who was raised as a little princess by Yang Hongyu, finally had the fate of a princess. Every time some classmates wanted to talk to Yang Zhi, they would weigh themselves in their hearts whether they wanted to make things uncomfortable.

Yang Zhi felt relaxed both physically and mentally, as if a huge stone had been put down.

Because there were no new students, Yang Zhi had not vacated her dormitory bed and would come back to rest during lunch break. Seeing that she fell asleep when she returned to the dormitory, the people in the dormitory looked at each other and did not bother her.

In the eyes of her roommates, Yang Zhi is a very cold girl. Even if someone wants to please them actively, it will backfire in the end and only make Yang Zhi more alienated.

I really don’t know if Yang Zhi will be like an ice cube in her life, which can never be warmed up no matter how hard she tries.

And this is the evaluation given by Yang Zhi's roommate, and the evaluation given by classmates is even more so.

But Xu Mingyuan had never attended school with Xiao Yangzhi for a single day, so of course he didn't understand it so clearly.

In Xu Mingyuan's eyes, Xiao Yangzhi is becoming more and more cheerful, a hundred times better than before.

……

This weekend, Xu Mingyuan promised Xiao Yangzhi that he would go home to pick her up from school and spend the day with her.

That night Xu Mingyuan accompanied Xu Jun to drink a bottle of wine. When they woke up the next day, the fragrance in the quilt seemed to tell them that someone had been there last night.

But this was not the most troublesome thing for Xu Mingyuan. It was that Xiao Yangzhi did not want to go out and insisted on staying at home. The only time she went out was to take out the garbage and buy things.

In the remaining time, Yang Zhi only spent two or three hours to finish most of the homework in the self-study class.

And at this time, Xiao Yangzhi would move closer to Xu Mingyuan.

Of course, Xu Mingyuan didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. After all, Xiao Yangzhi was like this before.

The cushions in the study were too crowded and I definitely couldn't stay there, so I had to go to the living room.

"Go, go, go, the heating will be turned off soon. How can it be so cold? If you feel cold, go and exercise."

Xu Mingyuan was driven away by Xiao Yangzhi.

"Oh."

Yang Zhi obediently found the hula hoop and twisted her waist in the living room.

Last time, under the guidance of Tao Shuxin, after two months of practice, Xiao Yangzhi's waist is no longer as stiff as before, and she can now dance in a proper manner.

Xu Mingyuan suddenly regretted his decision. Why couldn't he do something else when he had nothing to do? Why did he have to make Xiao Yangzhi practice hula hooping?

It was fine before, I didn’t think there was any problem.

However, Xiao Yangzhi was wearing a tight autumn shirt and felt hot, so she rolled up her sleeves to her elbows, revealing her smooth arms, and she did the same with her trouser legs, which were also pulled up to her knees.

After being covered up for a whole winter, the slender and well-proportioned calves are so white and tender that they seem to dazzle people's eyes.

Paired with a thin black autumn coat, it is even more suggestive.

Even if Xu Mingyuan didn't want to look, he would definitely take a second look at such a pleasing scene.

"Okay, okay, aren't you tired?"

Xu Mingyuan, who was feeling unhappy, had to stop her.

"Oh."

Yang Zhi was still well behaved. She threw the hula hoop aside, sat down next to Xu Mingyuan, and watched him fiddling with the laptop on his lap.

Yang Zhi was covered in sweat, and the faint fragrance on his body became more intense, and his slightly panting breath seemed to be a little hot.

It's not right to rush, and it's not right not to rush.

Although he had been tormenting Xiao Yangzhi for the entire day, Xu Mingyuan felt that he was clearly tormenting himself.

Finally it was evening. Xu Mingyuan said goodbye and hurriedly left home with the package Xiao Yangzhi had prepared for him.

When Yang Zhi saw him running away, she didn't feel as sad as before. Instead, she felt a little happy.

Although I don’t know what my mother said to my brother about the experience in Xincheng, the changes that have taken place in him are not as bad as I thought.

It may be that I have grown up and become more beautiful, so my brother dare not look at me directly.

Yang Zhi felt relieved. In her imagination, her brother would soon be brought up...

What Yang Zhi didn't know was that Xu Mingyuan's itchy heart was all focused on the silly Tao Shuxin...
