Chapter 492 Good Medicine
Chapter 492 Good Medicine
As it was getting close to dinner time, Xiao Yangzhi finally came out of the room and hugged Xu Mingyuan for a long time, unwilling to let go.
Little Yangzhi cried so hard that the trash can in the house was full of tissues. It seemed that one pack of tissues was not enough, so she opened a new pack.
When it was time for dinner, Xiao Yangzhi didn't come downstairs. It was Xu Mingyuan who brought the food up and fed her personally that Xiao Yangzhi reluctantly ate two bites of the food.
In fact, Xu Mingyuan really hates little girls who cry for no reason and make people upset.
But Xu Mingyuan was very afraid of people like Xiao Yangzhi, who wiped her tears silently and pretended to be fine with a smile that was uglier than crying.
Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi's eyes were slightly red and swollen, with red bloodshot in her beautiful whites, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
Generally speaking, tears between men and women can be resolved by having a good night's sleep, but this is not the case when it comes to family matters.
However, Yang Zhi didn't want his mood to disturb Xu Mingyuan, so he kept asking him if he wanted it. Only after being hit on the head twice did he calm down completely.
Looking at Xiao Yangzhi's pitiful appearance, how could Xu Mingyuan have the mood to do anything else?
After putting the water in place and making a pool of bubbles, Xu Mingyuan held the small willow branch and gently placed it into the warm water.
Yang Zhi made way, and after Xu Mingyuan entered the water, she lay in his arms, staring blankly in silence.
After his hair was wetted with water and shampooed, Yang Zhi finally started mumbling and poured out all his grievances.
"Brother, why doesn't mom like me?"
"It's not that she doesn't like you. If she really didn't like you, she wouldn't care about you and would have thrown you to your grandparents' house to fend for yourself."
"..." Yang Zhi was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Does my mother only love herself? Or does she hate me..."
"You can't say that either."
"Brother, why do you want to make up for her?"
Yang Zhi turned her head and looked at him with a little confusion and a little grievance.
"If you don't care about her, why should I make amends? Since you care about her, of course I have to say something to comfort you."
"Yeah, my brother is the best to me..."
After muttering for a while, Yang Zhi shivered, and before he knew it, the water had turned cold.
After washing off the foam on his body, Yang Zhi lingered around him for a while, but as she lingered for a while, she fell asleep in a daze.
She didn't sleep much last night and said she wanted to make up for the sleep, but she cried the whole afternoon and eventually exhausted all her energy.
Yang Zhi disliked fluctuations in her life. After making this phone call, it was like throwing a stone into the calm water, causing ripples in her mood.
Xu Mingyuan tried various methods but failed to improve Xiao Yangzhi's mood. She was like a little wooden man, and was in a daze for the same time as before. There was no spirit in her eyes and she looked dull.
After all, little Yangzhi is just a little girl who has not grown up. No matter how mature she behaves, she still has no opinion of her own.
As soon as she saw her mother, even though Yang Hongyu had never said anything harsh, little Yang Zhi didn't dare to complain. She just kept all her grievances in her heart, and only said a few words when Xu Mingyuan asked her.
She received a repressive education since childhood. Even if Yang Hongyu can't control her in the future, little Yang Zhi will be like a little quail in front of her mother. A glance will make her tremble like a sieve.
Tao Shuxin is silly and it is hard to read her expression, but after a while, she will definitely notice something is wrong.
At first, Tao Shuxin thought that she had offended Xiao Yangzhi in some way, which made her in a bad mood.
Later it turned out that it was not the case, because Tao Shuxin saw that when Xiao Yangzhi faced Xu Mingyuan, the smile she forced looked very forced.
Tao Shuxin was very surprised. This was the first time in the history of the world. In the past, she was the one who made Xiao Yangzhi unhappy, but now Xu Mingyuan actually did this.
"Hey!"
Tao Shuxin patted Xu Mingyuan's shoulder hard, and in order to exert more strength, she even jumped high to pat him.
"You unlucky child, what do you want to do? Are you going to turn the world upside down?"
Little Taotao is a good eater and sleeper, but he has a lot of energy but doesn't know where to use it. Xu Mingyuan, who was playing with his cell phone while waiting for Tao Shuxin to finish school, didn't notice it and almost threw his cell phone away.
"How dare you ask me what I do? Don't you know what I am doing?"
Tao Shuxin folded her hands in front of her chest, looking like someone who is not easy to mess with.
"How should I know? Aren't I here to pick you up?"
"What were you doing at noon? Why didn't you come and have lunch with me?"
"I ate at the company. Hey, you unlucky kid, are you looking for trouble on purpose?"
This was not the first or second time that Xu Mingyuan had lunch in the company. Tao Shuxin was simply asking for a slap in the face for making up this excuse.
Then Xu Mingyuan did the same thing, and slapped it with a "snap" sound, and even his hands were spread out.
"You're sick!" He was still wearing fleece to keep warm, so being slapped didn't hurt much. But Tao Shuxin was embarrassed to be seen, so she pulled Xu Mingyuan to a corner, pinched him hard twice, and then rolled her eyes and asked, "Why don't you accompany Xiao Zhizhi for dinner?"
"Didn't she take a leave to go home? You two can go out to a restaurant. Do you feel bad about spending money? Do you want me to reimburse you for the meal?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Tsk, do I need you? Hey, did you offend her?"
"No." "Nonsense! You must have offended her, otherwise why would Xiao Zhizhi be unhappy?"
"I was just wondering if you had offended her?"
"That's impossible. She was fine on her birthday. How could she change so much after just one day?"
To be honest, Tao Shuxin had no idea. She remembered that after she left that day, Xiao Yangzhi was very sleepy and had no energy. Could it be that she had disturbed her sleep that night? This little girl was too petty...
"It's nothing serious. Xiao Yangzhi called her mother." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Ah? Did her mother say that to her?" Tao Shuxin asked in surprise.
"No, I just called to check on her."
"No way? Isn't this a very happy thing? Why would she be unhappy?"
Tao Shuxin was stunned and felt that Xiao Yangzhi was really weird. How could this be the behavior of a normal person?
"Xiao Yangzhi and her mother haven't been in contact for more than four years." Xu Mingyuan said with a sigh.
"Ah? Has it been that long? Damn, is she still my biological mother? This is too...too irresponsible..."
Tao Shuxin wanted to complain, but felt it was a bit inappropriate, so she had to find a euphemism.
"Haha, her mother is like that."
"Eh? Isn't that right? Didn't you go to Zhongzhou to look for her mother?"
"My dad and I went there. I didn't let Xiao Yangzhi see her mother. I just let her take a peek from a distance through the car window."
"Wow! Are you still human? Don't you think you were the one who stopped Xiao Zhizhi and her mother from calling each other in the past few years?" Tao Shuxin asked with wide eyes.
"That's the reason, but it's not the only reason. If her mother insisted on looking for Xiao Yangzhi, who could stop her? It's just that she, as a mother, didn't take the trouble to contact her." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Then you can't do this. You are such a bad person! Xiao Zhizhi must be mad at you because of this matter, huh!" Tao Shuxin glared at him and said.
"What do you know? Stay out of other people's family affairs. Xiao Yangzhi is not unhappy because of this matter, but because it is unfair." Xu Mingyuan said helplessly.
"unfair?"
"Well, it's just unfair. Hey, do you still remember what Xiao Yangzhi looked like when you first met her?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"At the beginning? Well... he was very honest, didn't say a word, and was very quiet. He was much more autistic than he is now." Tao Shuxin smacked his lips.
"anything else?"
"Is there anything else? Nothing else, right?" Tao Shuxin scratched his head and said.
"Have you forgotten? Wasn't Xiao Yangzhi a bit rigid in the first two years?"
"This... seems so! At that time, her walking and sitting postures were very rigid, and she even chewed her food slowly. It was so artificial, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Tao Shuxin kept smacking her lips and secretly saying bad things behind others' backs.
"Haha, little Yangzhi is like that because of her mother." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Oh, but isn't it okay now? What does it matter?"
"Didn't her mother remarry? She gave birth to a little brother. He's almost three years old and can run and jump."
"Ah? Oh, no wonder I didn't look for Xiao Zhizhi. She must be very sad, alas..." Tao Shuxin said with a frown.
"Actually, this is not a big deal. Little Yangzhi has known about this for a long time. But her mother treats her differently. She didn't even say a harsh word to her little brother even though he runs around so much. Little Yangzhi thought about her experiences over the years and couldn't come to terms with it for a while." Xu Mingyuan shook his head and said.
"Wow! This..." Tao Shuxin's face was twisted into a small bun. She didn't know what to say, so she could only ask: "Does Xiao Zhizhi's mother favor boys over girls?"
"I don't know either. It's hard to say. Maybe she's matured. After all, when she gave birth to Xiao Yangzhi, she was less than 20 years old. How could she raise a child?"
"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier? You made me keep asking questions and it's annoying." Tao Shuxin said very dissatisfiedly.
"It's because you're annoying. If you knew about this, you would definitely go and question Xiao Yangzhi." Xu Mingyuan said unhappily.
"You're talking nonsense..." Tao Shuxin didn't feel like retorting in a tough tone, and continued, "Do you want to comfort her?"
"No need. You grew up in a happy family, so you won't be able to understand Xiao Yangzhi's situation. Let her digest it slowly by herself. Time is the best spiritual medicine."
"Can it be done?"
"It's okay, the same goes for you. No matter what unhappy things you encounter in the future, they will eventually be smoothed out by time." Xu Mingyuan said with some emotion.
"Nonsense! I won't encounter unhappy things! You are such a bad mouth!"
Tao Shuxin grabbed Xu Mingyuan and started pulling and playing with him.
Xu Mingyuan pulled her ponytail in annoyance. With her carefree and carefree personality, even if she encountered something unhappy, she would not be like Xiao Yangzhi...
