Chapter 286 Opinion
Chapter 286 Opinion
Reject first, then give hope.
Xu Mingyuan had already mastered the pushing and pulling skills of Tai Chi, which was especially useful for people who were inexperienced in dealing with the world.
"Teacher Ye, I was just joking. Just tell me what you want to say." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Well, I'm going to teach a class across grades and majors next time."
Ye Yining was choked and said speechlessly.
"Have you been converted to a regular employee? Isn't that good?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"Yes, I have to teach one or two hundred students."
Ye Yining rubbed his forehead, thinking about the class he was currently teaching, in which he would be responsible for nearly two hundred students, and he felt a headache.
"Teacher Ye, you mean that you will be very busy next semester and you want me to find less things to do for you, right?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Well, you don't have much to do. There are more things to do at school," said Ye Yining.
"Is that so? Then I'll talk to Director Sun."
Xu Mingyuan also understood that Ye Yining had found a lot of things to do this year. Coupled with the pressure from the department, it was quite difficult for her as a young girl who had just graduated.
"That's not what I meant. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to get a full-time job until next semester. Can I treat you and your girlfriend to a meal?"
"That's it? I thought it was a big deal. I just finished eating today and won't eat anymore. Let's wait for the next chance." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Well, well, I owe you a favor. I'm leaving now. Bye."
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan wanted to chase people away, Ye Yining did not stay any longer. She waved her hand and left with her bag.
After seeing Ye Yining off, the two of them cleaned up the pile of shrimp and crab shells on the table.
"Xu Mingyuan, doesn't Teacher Ye just want to treat you to a meal? What's wrong with agreeing to it? You act like you're such a big shot, tut tut tut..." Tao Shuxin couldn't help but complain.
"Are you so greedy? Didn't I give you any food? Besides, how do you know you want to treat me to a meal? What if he wants to steal my girl?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
I really don't have time today, and Ye Yining only earns 1,800 yuan, so don't make things difficult for her. It would be better for her to go to the cafeteria when school starts.
"You have such a big face!"
Tao Shuxin gave him an unpleasant look.
"Haha, her meaning is very clear. She means that the school puts too much pressure on her. And Ye Yining is a very responsible counselor. She has too many students in the new semester and may not be able to take care of other trivial matters. She just came to remind me." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
It was just a minor incident, and Tao Shuxin didn't ask any more questions whether she understood or not.
I saw Tao Shuxin carrying a quilt up to the attic. He must have wanted to dry the bedding while there was no rain recently.
"Hey, are you coming tomorrow?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Fuck off..."
Tao Shuxin felt guilty. She rolled her eyes coquettishly and ran up to the attic with a thump.
"If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have remembered to hang the quilt!"
Xu Mingyuan downstairs shouted.
"Then just wait for the rain to get you wet!"
Tao Shuxin retorted angrily and didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore.
When we headed towards Nanxi, Xu Mingyuan was still driving.
Tao Shuxin drove too slowly and only dared to stay in the slow lane on the highway. In addition, she had left home early in the morning, and her family had called to ask her where she had been and why she hadn't returned home yet.
If you delay any longer, you won’t be able to go out tomorrow…
At around seven o'clock in the evening, Xu Mingyuan sent her home.
Seeing her jumping back, Xu Mingyuan secretly complained.
I don’t know if Teacher He saw the beautiful little girl who dressed up so beautifully in the morning. Otherwise, her beautiful appearance would definitely reveal something fishy...
……
In the past, Xu Mingyuan was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins when he had holidays. He would run around Nanxi, looking for fun things all day long. He could always be seen in food stalls, barbecue stalls, game halls, and Internet cafes.
But now, Xu Mingyuan doesn’t even have the energy to go out and play. He has a lot of things to deal with every day, and he has a little sister to accompany him all the time.
No matter how much homework Yang Zhi has to do during the summer vacation, it will not be as busy as going to school. As long as she can calm down and write for two or three hours every day, she can definitely finish all the homework easily.
When Xu Mingyuan was not at home, Yang Zhi would write non-stop. When she was tired, she would daydream for a while, and then she could write all day long.
After searching for a long time, Yang Zhi finished all the homework assigned by the teacher.
After completing the teacher's task, Yang Zhi felt a lot more relaxed and could focus on staring at Xu Mingyuan.
Xu Mingyuan didn't go out all day. Sometimes he would accompany Xiao Yangzhi to review the knowledge points for the second year of high school.
Xiao Yangzhi’s ability to learn new knowledge is average. Xu Mingyuan has to teach some knowledge points several times, but she still doesn’t understand them. But if she finds a set of similar questions on the Internet and practices them several times, she will be able to do it.
Little Yangzhi only knows how to memorize knowledge by rote, and she still wants to skip a grade? Wouldn't that tire her to death?
Of course Xu Mingyuan would not agree with her idea.
early morning.
As usual, the dining table at home became a desk for two people.
"Brother, I want to take the college entrance examination next year..." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.
"Do you think the college entrance examination is easy? You can't get a high score by rote memorization."
After Xu Mingyuan finished his meal, he rested for a while and then took Xiao Yangzhi to read a book.
He always has to find something important to do at home, otherwise this little girl would just stick to him and cause great distress to Xu Mingyuan both physically and mentally.
"But, it's almost good enough." Yang Zhi retorted weakly.
"Don't you have any ambition? You want to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University?"
"I want to apply to Jiangda..."
Although he hugged her for a long time last night, Yang Zhi still rubbed her head and kept burrowing into his arms.
"Jiangnan University is easy? What are you thinking? Senior year students don't learn new knowledge points, but the difficulty of the questions is significantly higher than that of freshman and sophomore year students. If you don't do the papers for a year in senior year, it will be difficult to get a good grade."
Xu Mingyuan pulled her face, trying to pull it out for her.
"When you go to college, you are no longer a child..."
Yang Zhi was still clinging to his chest, unwilling to get up.
"Go away. Whether you are a child or not has nothing to do with whether you can go to college. It depends on whether you are mentally mature."
Xu Mingyuan wanted to move her away, but the small poplar branch seemed to be covered with glue and could not be moved away no matter how hard he pulled.
"My brother is definitely more mature than me. I have been a child all my life..." Yang Zhi retorted in a low voice.
"You've also learned to be stubborn, right?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"No, it's the truth..."
Yang Zhi rubbed his chest gently and began to daydream again.
To be honest, Xu Mingyuan felt a little guilty.
It's not only because of Xiao Yangzhi's age, but also because of her attitude towards herself.
After all, they have been together for such a long time, and it is not difficult for Xu Mingyuan to find that Xiao Yangzhi's feelings for him are more out of a family, and she wants to maintain the status quo and keep it unchanged.
Xu Mingyuan thought he knew her very well.
Little Yangzhi is like a puppet that can be manipulated by anyone.
For example, when you are hungry you need to eat, when you are thirsty you need to drink water, and when you reach school age you need to go to school.
It was not because of her preference, nor because of her future, but simply because the rules of society required her to do so, so Xiao Yangzhi did as she was told.
And when she was about to get married, Xiao Yangzhi felt that Xu Mingyuan was the best person to trust, so she stuck to him.
Of course, there must be some feelings mixed in, but this strange way of getting along also made Xu Mingyuan unable to have any strange thoughts. However, Xu Mingyuan could control his thoughts, but he had no way to control his physiology.
Such a pretty little girl, who wanted to stay by his side all day long, Xu Mingyuan really couldn't bear it.
If it weren’t for the lovely little Taotao, Xu Mingyuan really didn’t know what he would do to her.
The guilt is too great, this is much worse than cheating a fool...
Xu Mingyuan can also be called a bastard. After all, he did not think about changing Xiao Yangzhi's abnormal ideas, and he also wanted to maintain it like this.
After all, it is hard not to arouse Xu Mingyuan's greed when she is a little girl who allows himself to be manipulated and is well-behaved and sensible and never resists.
If anyone wants to blame someone, he should blame Xiao Yangzhi for cheating him in his previous life. Then it is only natural for Xu Mingyuan to charge some interest in this life.
Xu Mingyuan found a flawed excuse for himself and accepted it with peace of mind.
It seems like he was influenced by Xiao Taotao?
But who wouldn’t love Xiao Yangzhi’s pair of slender and well-proportioned legs?
Moreover, when Xiao Yangzhi has nothing to do, she will ride an exercise bike. Compared with the soft touch before, it now has a bit more elasticity and has become beautiful from the inside out.
Yang Zhi's cheeks were red. She didn't know why Xu Mingyuan pushed her away and even wanted to pinch her thigh.
But the well-behaved and sensible Yang Zhi didn't show any reluctance. She just lifted her legs so that he could massage her more easily.
Xu Mingyuan, who was still thinking about something, suddenly noticed Xiao Yangzhi's little movement and quickly retracted his hand.
It’s not Xu Mingyuan’s fault. It’s a habit he developed in college. When he sees the books on the table, he subconsciously wants to touch her legs.
"Brother, my mother sent a letter."
Yang Zhi felt that Xu Mingyuan should be in a good mood, after all, he had just pinched her leg, so she took this opportunity to say it out.
"Really? Which day?"
Xu Mingyuan was stunned. He didn't expect that after the phone call, Yang Hongyu would send him a letter.
"yesterday……"
Yang Zhi took out a folded envelope from his pocket.
Xu Mingyuan took it and looked at the postmark. Seeing that it was sent from Xincheng, he didn't care.
Xincheng is thousands of miles away. After we move in a few days, who will know who we are?
"Uh, can I see it?"
Xu Mingyuan was about to open it, but then he thought it was not a good idea to do so, so he asked Xiao Yangzhi.
"Brother, look, it's okay..."
Yang Zhi didn't open the envelope because she just wanted to read it with him.
Xu Mingyuan simply tore open the envelope and glanced at the contents of the letter.
This letter was not to Xiao Yangzhi, and of course, it could not be to Xu Mingyuan either, but to his father Xu Jun.
The content of the letter was basically Yang Hongyu talking about what she had done in the past few years. There were a lot of polite words, but if you look closely, you can see that she was just making excuses for herself and trying to make people think that she had done nothing wrong.
The content about Xiao Yangzhi was very brief, with only one sentence stating that the hope was to obtain custody of her.
Xu Mingyuan frowned, and seeing that Xiao Yangzhi still had the same cold face day after day, he asked casually, "Your mother wants custody of you."
"Yeah, I saw it..." Yang Zhi replied in a low voice.
"what are you thinking?"
"I don't know..." Yang Zhi hesitated, then raised his eyes and asked, "Brother, can you fight for my custody?"
Remembering that Uncle Xu listened to his mother very much, Yang Zhi felt that Xu Mingyuan should be involved as well.
"Haha, are you stupid? I'm your brother." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, can't I?"
Yang Zhi scratched her hair, not understanding why he was laughing.
"Okay, then you don't have to worry about it. When you become an adult next year, you can make your own decisions on these matters." Xu Mingyuan said.
If Xiao Yangzhi’s identity as a stepdaughter is really taken to court, we don’t know how the verdict will be.
Is it possible to spend money to smash it? It's not impossible.
In fact, Xu Mingyuan was also afraid that the little girl would turn into a quail as soon as she saw her mother. She would just do whatever Yang Hongyu said and be taken away like a puppet.
Xu Mingyuan didn't have the confidence that he could keep her. After all, they had been together for more than two years. How could he compare to Yang Hongyu, who had educated her since she was a child?
If Xiao Yangzhi becomes the generous and elegant woman who only exists in memory in the future, Xu Mingyuan will definitely feel heartbroken when comparing her present.
It's good to be well-behaved like this, and Xu Mingyuan also wants to feed it fresh fruits every day.
For example, at this moment, when Xu Mingyuan glanced at the fruit plate next to Xiao Yangzhi, she would pinch a washed grape with her slender fingertips. Her oily nails were more eye-catching than the grapes with water droplets on them, and feed them into her mouth.
The smooth and powdery touch, as well as the sweet and sour taste, is one of the rare pleasures in life.
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan didn't take it seriously and was just concentrating on eating grapes, Yang Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought if I didn't say it yesterday, he would be angry.
Yang Zhi also had some thoughts. What if her brother saw the letter last night and kicked it aside? If he did that, she would definitely suffer from insomnia and feel very uncomfortable...
Xu Mingyuan, who was eating grapes, would also give feedback.
However, his actions were rather careless. He grabbed a few grapes and stuffed them into little Yangzhi's little mouth.
Seeing Xiao Yangzhi chewing for a long time before carefully spitting out the grape seeds one by one, Xu Mingyuan was very amused and his evil taste was greatly satisfied.
"Didn't your mother leave you her phone number? Do you want to call her?"
Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi didn't show any emotional changes, Xu Mingyuan began to ask.
"Well... let's wait until later."
Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.
In Yang Zhi's heart, he actually wanted to make a phone call and ask.
After all, we haven't been in touch for so long, and we only saw each other from afar half a year ago. It's hard to relieve the anxiety in my heart.
However, Yang Zhi knew that if her brother wanted her to call him, she would definitely take the initiative to ask.
Yang Zhi also didn't understand why her brother was always on guard against her mother.
But since he did this, there must be a reason. After all, he is so smart, he must have considered more than I did...
"Does my dad know about this letter?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"I don't know. Uncle didn't come home yesterday."
"Oh." Xu Mingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Then there's no need to tell him. Aunt Yang won't be able to come back and live with him. Let's leave it like this for now."
"Um……"
Yang Zhi pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"I'll write down this number for you. I'll give it to you when you have your own ideas."
Xu Mingyuan saved the phone number on it in his mobile phone, and he burned the useless envelope with a lighter and threw it into the sink.
Yang Zhi followed Xu Mingyuan silently. After the water washed away the ashes, he asked in a low voice: "Brother, what is having an opinion?"
"Haha, how do I put it? It's like I tell you to go east, but you insist on going west. That's being opinionated." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
Xu Mingyuan no longer expected her to have her own opinions. This little girl hasn't even learned how to resist. She needs time to adapt.
Compared to two years ago, Xiao Yangzhi has gotten much better. She can't always be a puppet. She will grow up one day.
In fact, Yang Zhi already had an idea in his mind.
So you just don't listen?
I should be able to do it...
