Chapter 363 No trouble
Chapter 363 No trouble
Yang Zhi did not carry out a sneaky night attack as Xu Mingyuan wished, and did not even go to eavesdrop on the bed. She did not want to know what he and Tao Shuxin would do.
After getting the promise he wanted, although it was not as stable as he could see and touch, Yang Zhi's confusion about the future had been reduced by more than half.
As soon as the alarm clock rang in the early morning, Yang Zhi opened her eyes quietly.
The alarm clock was shrill. For a girl like Yang Zhi who liked quietness, hearing the sound of metal colliding was a torture.
But today she stretched first, then leaned over to press the metal lever on the alarm clock to stop it.
Yang Zhi seldom uses an alarm clock, as if she has never used it. Her biological clock is very punctual, so she basically wakes up early before the alarm rings.
But Yang Zhi still set the alarm every day, and even checked it from time to time, for fear that the alarm clock was broken, otherwise it would be difficult to relieve the tension of worrying about being late.
Just like today, the alarm clock that I hadn’t used in several years finally found a use.
It stands to reason that it is most comfortable to sleep until you wake up naturally, but Yang Zhi, who was woken up at this moment, felt more energetic.
Perhaps it was because she had waited until she was 18 years old that all the unpleasant things that had happened before were frozen in time, and Yang Zhi could finally start to face a new day in her life.
The curtains in Yangzhi's room are double-layer curtains that can make the room dark. The sunlight can only pass through the bottom of the curtains, and a faint light can be seen, gently hitting the yellow and white tiles.
Yang Zhi fell in love with this double-layer curtain at first sight when she and her brother went to Yuyang City to stay in a hotel. Later, when she moved here, she wanted to get a pair.
Of course my brother would agree to such a small matter.
But I remember that he was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his head and agreed with a smile.
A broad-minded person like him wouldn't care about trivial matters, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand the reasons behind it.
My brother understands me. Just like he said, he knows me better than I know myself. What kind of girl Yang Zhi is.
But Yang Zhi also knew him well, although not as well as he knew himself, but it was enough. At least better than his father, as for Tao Shuxin, she was definitely not half as good as himself, and he couldn't catch up with her even if he tried his best.
How could a girl like her, who is so nervous, understand her brother?
Yang Zhi got up and opened the curtains. The view at first glance was not very good.
After the winter snow melted, the grass and trees in the distance were bare. If it weren't for the fact that you could see the Nan River flowing quietly, the scenery would actually be quite ugly.
When living in the plastic steel residential building, Yang Zhi’s favorite thing to do was not only to look up at the stars, but also to secretly observe the lives of the neighbors across the street.
Occasionally, Yang Zhi would see a couple quarreling so loudly that the sound of their curses could be heard throughout the building, and naughty children who were beaten and cried until they were out of breath.
But Yang Zhi didn't like watching all this excitement. She only liked to watch the peaceful and comfortable life, like washing clothes, cooking, mopping the floor and washing dishes. She could watch for hours.
But now there is no chance, and all I can do is look at the bare trees outside.
Fortunately, as we enter mid-March, the grass and trees are beginning to sprout and form buds, which means that every day will get better.
Yang Zhi was in a good mood. She dressed, washed, and packed everything. Then she picked up her schoolbag and quietly opened the door of the next room.
My brother sleeps very soundly at night, just like me, and rarely even turns over.
Tao Shuxin had a very bad sleeping posture. She was lying in a big posture, taking up a large area on the bed. One of her pajamas was almost up to her thigh, and even her pajamas were crooked, revealing half of her snow-white skin.
Seeing that she had one arm on her brother's face, Yang Zhi frowned slightly and wanted to pull it down.
But Yang Zhi thought about it and decided to close the door. Her brother's biological clock was very good, and if she touched him now, she would definitely wake him up.
When Yang Zhi reached the second floor, Aunt Liang, who had arrived earlier, had already prepared breakfast.
Today we had scallion oil noodles with fried eggs, and a few side dishes. The porridge in the pot was not ready yet, so I left it for my family.
Seeing Aunt Liang was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and the few white strands in her curly hair, Yang Zhi felt a little embarrassed and whispered to her: "Aunt Liang..."
"Hey, girl, you're up now. Come eat. Do you want me to cook you a dish?"
"No trouble."
"It's okay, just a few minutes." Liang Lanzhen said.
"Really." Yang Zhi shook her head and said, "Aunt Liang, if you come home too late, you can stay at my house. You don't have to go back and forth."
"That's so bad. My home is not far away. I can get there by taking two buses." Liang Lanzhen was stunned for a moment and said quickly.
For Liang Xiuying, there was not much to do for the host family. Not only was the work easy, but it was also very flexible and the salary was generous. The only trouble was that she had to get up early to cook for the host family's girl.
If she could live at home, her workload would be much lighter. Otherwise, she would sometimes have to wait until evening to go home, and then rush to cook before dawn the next day, which was really a hassle.
"It's okay, I'll just tell my dad."
Yang Zhi pulled away a stool, poured some aged vinegar into the noodles, stirred them evenly, and ate them in small bites with refreshing kelp shreds.
In fact, Yang Zhi’s empathy is not strong, but if a series of troubles were caused by herself, it would be a bit embarrassing.
There will always be changes in the family anyway, so it is better to bring it up yourself, so that the changes are caused by you.
Xu Mingyuan was not asked to pick her up today, and Yang Zhi called the driver in advance.
But when she was about to go out, Xu Mingyuan suddenly called her.
"Little Yangzhi." Xu Mingyuan called out.
"elder brother?"
Yang Zhi was slightly startled, and saw Xu Mingyuan walking downstairs. "Why didn't you call me, kid?"
"I see you're sleeping..."
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
"Brother, why are you awake? Did I wake you up?"
"I set the alarm. Why did you leave so early today? Wouldn't it be better to leave on time?"
Xu Mingyuan walked to the door while putting on his coat, kicked on his shoes, and walked out while holding Xiao Yangzhi's shoulder.
"Brother, you haven't eaten yet?"
"You little girl are just being pretentious. Stop wasting time. When can't I eat? When I was still in school, the teacher didn't allow me to eat in school?"
"Oh……"
Yang Zhi pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed for causing trouble for her brother again.
"Brother Liu, please go inside and stay here. You've made a wasted trip this early in the morning."
Seeing Liu Yang wiping the mud spots off his father's Mercedes-Benz with a rag in the garage, Xu Mingyuan greeted him.
"Boss, I'll go and deliver it. I'm fine."
"Hey, take a rest. What time did you send my dad back last night?"
"Not late, around two o'clock."
"Good guy, isn't it too late? Go eat first. Auntie at home made porridge, and then go to sleep. By the way, I'll tell you not to send Yang Zhi off in the future, so you don't have to come over. Let her wake me up." Xu Mingyuan patted his shoulder and said.
"Okay, then go lie down for a while." Liu Yang nodded in response.
Yang Zhi, who was following beside him, nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Thank you." Then he said nothing else.
In fact, Yang Zhi always felt a little weird. His brother would call him Brother Liu, but Xu Jun, as a father, always called him little brother, which made him really not know how to address him.
Xu Mingyuan was not in such a hurry when driving. No matter how early or late he got up, he would always arrive at school on time.
Sometimes Yang Zhi felt helpless. For someone who attached great importance to every rule, she was always led by Xu Mingyuan to break the rules.
Of course, the two of them secretly flirting with each other in private should be the biggest rule they broke...
"Did you sleep well last night?"
When Xu Mingyuan turned the corner and went out, he glanced at Xiao Yangzhi inadvertently.
Unfortunately, the attentive Yang Zhi looked over at the same time.
"Not bad." Yang Zhi replied in a low voice.
"That's good. Don't tire yourself out. I heard from Liu Yang that you were reading a book while riding in the car. What can you remember in just ten minutes? Aren't you afraid of myopia?"
"My eyesight is very good. I won't be nearsighted." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.
"Very good, then you won't? You go to school all day and never go out to bask in the sun. I can tell you, if you don't take care of your eyes like this, you will become nearsighted sooner or later. That would be very ugly, right?"
"Well, I'll pay attention..."
"Are you just talking? If you really become nearsighted, I will take you to get glasses then," Xu Mingyuan scolded.
"Sorry……"
Yang Zhi, who has always had good eyesight, never thought that she would become nearsighted. Moreover, she has been here for such a long time, so how could she become nearsighted just after two or three months of studying?
But since he was told off, Yang Zhi had no choice but to apologize quietly.
"Ah, you kid... no, you girl, why do you always think about not causing trouble for others?"
It was still early, so Xu Mingyuan stepped on the brakes and stopped the car by the roadside, then reached out and pinched Xiao Yangzhi's pretty and elastic face.
It is thin and smooth, and feels great, making Xu Mingyuan want to pinch it every time. However, he was in such a hurry to get up this morning that he almost forgot about it.
"I've troubled my brother so much..."
"People who don't want to trouble others don't want others to trouble themselves. But we are a family, why should we be so distant? Don't you want me to trouble you? Besides, I don't think you are a trouble. It's not a big deal to get up early to send you to school. I also like to stay with you for a while. I will feel relieved if I can send you to school safely." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Thank you, brother..." Yang Zhi nodded in response.
"Thanks for nothing. You only know these nonsense. Why don't you do something practical?"
"Oh... Then I won't thank you anymore..."
Yang Zhi unbuckled her seat belt, leaned over and kissed Xu Mingyuan on the cheek, then pursed her lips and sat back in her original position.
The car restarts.
Looking at the street scene receding outside the window, Yang Zhi's already good mood became even better.
Even if the future becomes worse, thinking of today, my mood will still be better...
