Chapter 259 Difficulties

Chapter 259 Difficulties
"Xu Mingyuan, how did you answer?"

Tao Shuxin swallowed and asked nervously.

"What else can I say? Tell the truth." Xu Mingyuan answered casually.

"Xiao Zhizhi, don't listen to your brother's nonsense. We two sleep in separate rooms..."

Tao Shuxin glanced at Xiao Yangzhi guiltily, her heart pounding.

"Oh."

Yang Zhi responded indifferently.

She knew what the two of them had done, but she just asked even though she knew the answer.

"Hey, what did you learn today?"

Tao Shuxin just laughed foolishly and changed the subject very stiffly.

"Mathematics, foreign language, biology, history, geography, physics, second period evening study, homework."

Yang Zhi wasn't good at chatting either, so when Tao Shuxin asked her, she answered truthfully about her class schedule.

"Oh, you have so many classes today? Xu Mingyuan and I only have one big class in the morning. Fortunately, we have finished high school, otherwise we would have to suffer the same as you."

Tao Shuxin kept making small talk, which inadvertently hurt Xiao Yangzhi's heart.

"Ah."

Yang Zhi nodded.

Xu Mingyuan, who was driving in front, found this funny and said, "You have an easy life in college, but could you please stop showing off in front of Xiao Yangzhi, who is in high school?"

"How can I brag? High school is very tiring. It's not like you haven't been to high school before. The classes there are very strict!" Tao Shuxin retorted, and then said to Xiao Yangzhi: "Xiao Zhizhi, don't worry, it will be easy when you go to college."

"it is good."

Yang Zhi's tone remained calm. If these words were spoken by someone else, they would definitely think that he was pointing at them.

Yang Zhi already knew what kind of person Tao Shuxin was. She was simple-minded and had no good ideas. This was her own and her brother's evaluation.

Yang Zhi didn't care about what Tao Shuxin said. What she cared about was that her brother's position was taken by an outsider.

Tao Shuxin hasn't had a good meal of snacks for many days, because every time she wants to buy a big bag of snacks, Xu Mingyuan reminds her mother of the task she gave him.

Although Xu Mingyuan would not carry out the order, every time Tao Shuxin received a call from her mother and knew that Xu Mingyuan was with her, she would ask him about his recent situation.

And that bastard Xu Mingyuan would tell him everything, causing him to be scolded many times and almost have his pocket money taken away.

Tao Shuxin felt that Xu Mingyuan did it on purpose to reduce her pocket money so that she would be at his mercy in the future.

How is this possible?

Taking advantage of Xiao Yangzhi's visit, Tao Shuxin went to the supermarket and bought two large bags of snacks.

"Hey, I bought this for Xiao Zhizhi, don't tell on me!"

Tao Shuxin glared at him angrily with a warning look on her face.

"Ha, just eat it, I won't tell you anything."

Xu Mingyuan usually didn't care much about her, but when he saw her eating non-stop, even skipping meals, he wanted her to control herself. There are too many additives in snacks on the market, so it's better to eat more fruits and other easily digestible foods.

Walking into the community, Yang Zhi looked around. The environment here was much better than that of the plastic steel community, but she still liked to stay at home, where she had her happiest days.

Unfortunately, time cannot go back to the past, and Yang Zhi has to move this year.

Tao Shuxin, with some excitement, pulled Xiao Yangzhi upstairs.

The little girl couldn't hide her thoughts, and after buying the little house, she kept them in her heart for a long time.

Now that things have come to this, I just want to share my happiness with Xiao Yangzhi.

"Dangdangdang, how is it? Little twig, pretty, isn't it?"

Tao Shuxin opened the door and ran into the room first.

"pretty……"

Yang Zhi bit her lower lip lightly, turned her head to look at Xu Mingyuan, looking a little aggrieved.

Xu Mingyuan pretended not to see it and put the bag of snacks aside.

"Slippers for you. I bought several packs. I picked them for you, little bunny."

Tao Shuxin naturally wouldn't care about other people's expressions. She still pulled Xiao Yangzhi with excitement, turned on all the lights in the house, and took her around to introduce every detail of the small home.

"Brother, won't you take me for a walk?" Yang Zhi said in a low voice.

Yang Zhi doesn't like this place, it makes her feel like an outsider.

"Let her take you there."

Xu Mingyuan scratched his hair and lay on the sofa, not wanting to move.

"Oh……"

Yang Zhi felt depressed, but couldn't say it, so she could only steal a glance at Xu Mingyuan from time to time, until she couldn't raise her head because of the look he gave her.

On the small round table next to the soft reclining chair in the attic, there is an English-Chinese bilingual dictionary.

Tao Shuxin jumped up and shook it, then picked up the dictionary and said, "Xiao Zhizhi, how about this recliner? I like to memorize words here the most. It's very comfortable. Come and try it."

Yang Zhi couldn't stand her enthusiasm, half lying on it and sighed: "Not bad..."

"You're just wearing your school uniform? Didn't you bring any clothes?"

"No, I came after evening study."

"Oh, well...how about this, why don't you wear my clothes first? Tomorrow we'll go to the mall in Jiangcheng to buy clothes, and then your brother can take you around Jiangcheng."

"Yeah." Yang Zhi nodded.

"Come and have a look. I really like the open-air balcony. How do you think the waterproofing and gazebo that were just completed a few days ago are?"

Tao Shuxin lay by the fence, where she could see the lights of the outer ring road from afar. The view was very broad, and she could also see the bright lights of Jiangcheng City in the distance.

Tao Shuxin touched his chin and said, "It would be better to have a telescope. I'll remember to buy one next time."

“I don’t like places that are too high.”

Yang Zhi didn't go to the fence, but just stood by the door and looked around.

"This is a newly built fence. There's a railing outside. You don't have to be afraid."

"No." Yang Zhi shook his head.

It was fine during the day, but she would feel dizzy when looking at it after dark.

After enjoying the breeze outside for a while, when the two returned downstairs, Xu Mingyuan had already disappeared.

"Xu Mingyuan, where are you?"

Tao Shuxin pushed open the bedroom door and found no one was there.

I went to take a look at the study room that had become a private room in the Internet cafe, but no one was there.

After pushing open the bedroom door in the north room, I found that Xu Mingyuan was already lying on the bed.

"Hey! You're going to bed so early?"

"Isn't it okay if I'm sleepy? Go away and don't disturb my sleep."

"Your sister is here, why don't you bring her along? Let's play poker together. I bought some when I went to the supermarket."

"It's past eleven o'clock. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Xu Mingyuan felt overwhelmed and turned over, not wanting to pay attention to her.

Seeing that he had completely thrown the little Yangzhi to her, Tao Shuxin immediately became unhappy and pounced on him to pull him up.

Xu Mingyuan grabbed her wrist and started kneading it.

Now Tao Shuxin was obedient and didn't want to call him anymore. Xiao Yangzhi was still outside, so she didn't feel comfortable making trouble.

Tao Shuxin, with a red face, coughed twice and pretended to be calm and said, "Xiao Zhizhi, your brother won't play with you, so I'll take you to play games."

The shy little girl didn't dare to stay here for too long and just prayed that Xiao Yangzhi didn't see it.

Yang Zhi's gaming skills were average, just a little better than a beginner. Moreover, her attention was focused on Xu Mingyuan, and she quickly lost interest.

"I'm sleepy and I want to sleep." Yang Zhi said.

"Oh, okay." Tao Shuxin, who was still in high spirits, had to turn off the game when he saw that she was not interested in playing. Then, his eyes lit up and he said, "Sleep with me tonight? I'll tell you stories from college."

"okay."

Yang Zhi hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.

Tao Shuxin's washing before bed was very tedious, and she also helped Xiao Yangzhi put on a facial mask.

The quilt was filled with the scent of lavender. Yang Zhi's nostrils trembled as she smelled the scent of her brother.

Yang Zhi's mood became more and more depressed. It turned out that her brother only had her scent, but now it was all gone to outsiders.

"Sister Taotao, does my brother know other girls in school?" Yang Zhi asked.

"Of course he knows him, there are female classmates in his class." Tao Shuxin said as a matter of course.

"Oh, are you familiar with them?"

"It's okay, we always say hello when we meet." Tao Shuxin said.

After trying many times, seeing that Tao Shuxin didn't understand what he meant, Yang Zhi stopped beating around the bush and simply said directly: "Then are there any girls who like my brother?"

"Who knows!" Tao Shuxin clapped her hands angrily and pouted, "Last time your brother and I were eating in the cafeteria, there was a girl dressed up all over and insisted on asking for his contact information. Oh, I was so mad. She treated me like nothing and didn't even tell anyone about it!"

Tao Shuxin, who likes to talk about people behind their backs, found someone to confide in and immediately started complaining.

"Did my brother give it to me?" Yang Zhi asked.

"How could he give it to me? I'm still here, and you're asking me to leave!"

"My brother is very popular with girls."

Yang Zhi sighed softly and spoke in a way that seemed to be a question or an answer.

"What? Let me tell you, college girls are very realistic. They just want to see that he has some money! How can this be called love?"

"Is that true?" Yang Zhi asked.

"Yeah, few girls liked him when he was in high school," Tao Shuxin complained.

"But doesn't my brother have an ex-girlfriend?"

"Oh, that Lin Jing doesn't count. Xu Mingyuan was acting with her."

Tao Shuxin felt depressed whenever this matter was mentioned. Although she said so, it was still painful to think about the past.

"Oh, Sister Taotao, then you don't like my brother?"

"Who would like him? He is so naughty all the time and always makes me angry. Oh, he is so annoying. You don't even know that your brother always complains to my mom. I really want to beat him up..."

As soon as Tao Shuxin talked about Xu Mingyuan, she started complaining endlessly.

Yang Zhi saw that Tao Shuxin became happier and happier as she spoke, and her heart sank as well.

Although she is a slow learner, she is not a fool. How could she not see the sweet smile on Tao Shuxin's face?

People who are not very smart fall asleep quickly. Tao Shuxin fell asleep while talking.

Yang Zhi gently pushed her twice, and seeing no response, he quietly got out of bed.

Without even wearing shoes, he sneaked to the door of another room.

On Xu Mingyuan's side, he was thinking about things over and over again.

It is not a good thing to decorate the house too well. For example, the sound of Yang Zhi opening the door quietly did not even register with Xu Mingyuan who was lost in thought.

He only felt a scent of lavender coming towards him, exactly the same as when Tao Shuxin called him just now.

Xiao Yangzhi would definitely not do this, she was afraid of bumping into herself. Xu Mingyuan was upset and kneaded her.

It doesn't feel soft, but rather a little elastic.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Seeing Xu Mingyuan's hand suddenly retracted, Yang Zhi, with a slightly trembling voice, threw the problem to him to deal with.

"Why did you come here?"

Xu Mingyuan was shocked, but still spoke in a calm tone, pretending nothing had happened.

"I can not sleep……"

Yang Zhi didn't care about that, she just held him tightly and wouldn't let go...
