"See, I told you Sister Xixi is a good person, she's really not a bad person."

From the moment she saved her, Gu Ying felt from the bottom of her heart that she was a good person.

Whether someone has ulterior motives can actually be detected from the smallest details, especially since Mu Xiyue didn't know them and had no conflict of interest.

“Brother Xingmian, you should try to accept Sister Xixi. At the very least, we need her to live here. Look, she even specially had someone prepare a bowl of noodles for you.”

"Actually, she's so pitiful. She's so young and already disabled. Her family is so rich, but they still couldn't get her treated properly. It's clear that it can't be cured. Sigh."

Upon hearing Gu Ying's last words, Shen Xingmian tightened her grip on her chopsticks, feeling a strange tightness and discomfort in her chest.

But he didn't care and continued to eat his noodles, he was really starving, this was the most miserable he had ever been in his sixteen years of life.

......

Two days later, the housekeeper had already registered Shen Xingmian and Gu Ying's household registrations and helped them get their ID cards, since it was difficult to get around without an ID card in this day and age.

Shen Xingmian was somewhat grateful for Nan Zhi's actions, so he took good care of her.

"Shen Xingmian, I want to eat grapes. Go wash them for me."

"Shen Xingmian, push me to go for a walk in the courtyard."

"Shen Xingmian, go get me a glass of water."

"Shen Xingmian, go to the bedroom and bring me that book you were holding."

“Shen Xingmian........”

Countless Shen Xingmian's names were uttered from Nan Zhi's mouth. Every time she called out "Shen Xingmian," Shen Xingmian knew that this person had come again.

Even though he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to bow his head when he was under someone else's roof, so he gritted his teeth and did what the servants should have done for Nanzhi.

However, the two maids in the house feel uneasy because they have been too idle lately.

Nan Zhi loved watching Shen Xingmian want to go crazy but didn't dare. Calling his name every day made her happy.

Shen Xingmian, however, did not think so. He was convinced that this was Mu Xiyue's way of torturing him. Although he did not know what her motivation was, he was certain that Mu Xiyue simply disliked him, or that she had made him stay in order to torment him.

He felt increasingly resentful of Mu Xiyue, who was disabled. On the surface, he took good care of her, but in his heart, he felt extremely disgusted.

He thought that once he was able to leave this family and had the ability to earn money, he would definitely take Gu Ying away from the Mu family.

Two weeks later, it was almost time for school to start.

Mu Xiyue's parents came back.

Nan Zhi was unaware of this beforehand. At that time, she was sitting on the sofa eating sunflower seeds, with Shen Xingmian standing next to her and Gu Ying sitting on the other side of the sofa.

"Shen Xingmian, I'm thirsty."

Shen Xingmian: "......"

"Brother Xingmian, could you pour me a cup too?"

Gu Ying said something while watching the cartoon on TV.

Shen Xingmian felt even more frustrated. Why could Gu Ying sit comfortably on the sofa watching TV, while she was like a servant, always serving Mu Xiyue, pouring her sweet tea and water.

Seeing him still standing there, Nanzhi looked up at him and said, "Aren't you going? Is this how you repay your debt?"

Shen Xingmian: "......." I endured it.

Nan Zhi was secretly thrilled. This was the Shen Xingmian she knew better. Before, she would only glance at a handsome man twice before he would make her unable to get out of bed. Hmph, look at her now, she's finally free to do as she pleases.

When Mu Xiyue's parents returned home, they saw the same scene they had just witnessed: Shen Xingmian had gone to the kitchen, while Nan Zhi was beaming with joy, discussing cartoons with Gu Ying and laughing heartily.

This was a daughter the two had never seen before. Their daughter used to always look gloomy and pitiful. She refused to make friends, refused to chat with people, and had no vitality at all. But now their daughter had changed.

Mu Zi glanced at the butler behind her and asked with some excitement:

"Has Xixi been like this lately?"

The butler nodded; he too had witnessed the young lady's transformation, and so he spoke with satisfaction:

“Sir and Madam, I originally thought it was not good to leave these two orphans at home, but Miss gets along very well with them. Since they came, Miss has become much more cheerful.”

Mu Zi and his wife exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with tears.

The couple has always hoped that their daughter could be more open-minded and cheerful.

"Xi Xi".

Mu Zi called out, and Nan Zhi looked towards the entrance. Seeing Mu Zi and her husband, she smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, you're back."

Nanzhi was in a good mood and much happier. What parent would want their child to be depressed all the time?

So Mu Zi smiled and said, "Yes, Dad and Mom came back to see you."

Mr. and Mrs. Mu walked up to Nanzhi and sat down.

Nanzhi thought that school would start soon, and she needed to discuss her going to school with her parents.

Also, get them to agree to let Gu Ying and Shen Xingmian go to school together.

The Mu couple first inquired about Nanzhi's feelings for a while, and then confirmed that their daughter had indeed changed, which made them very happy.

Nanzhi, seeing that it was about time, made a request, "Dad, I want to go to school."

Mu Xiyue never went to school when she was very young. When she was very young, it was because of health reasons. Later, when she was older, she was actually able to go to school, but she did not want to.

Hearing their daughter say this, the Mu couple were stunned.

"Xixi, didn't you used to dislike going to school?"

Mu Xiyue's mother looked at her daughter with gentle eyes, "If you're willing, your father and I will contact a school for disabled children right away, and we'll enroll them when school starts."

Mu Zi tugged at his wife's hand, signaling her to say less. Nan Zhi could probably understand what Mu Zi meant; he was afraid she would be upset.

She smiled slightly, "I want to go to a regular school. I can use a wheelchair."

The Mu couple were completely stunned. They considered sending their child to a school for the disabled, mainly to take care of her psychological well-being. The surrounding area was full of disabled people and special groups, so their daughter wouldn't be afraid of being looked at that way.

Now, however, Nanzhi wants to go to a regular school, which makes her parents hesitate. If she interacts with normal people, some classmates will inevitably look at her with prejudice, and if this goes on for a long time, it will definitely traumatize her.

Seeing her parents' intentions, Nanzhi glanced at Shen Xingmian, who had brought over two glasses of water. He placed the glasses on the coffee table and stood aside without moving.

Nanzhi handed each of her father and mother a glass of water and smiled, saying:

"With Shen Xingmian taking care of me, nothing will happen, Mom and Dad, don't worry."

Shen Xingmian, who was standing to the side, stiffened slightly. This woman really trusted him.

"Xixi, it's not that Daddy disagrees, but you have to understand that going to school is like living in a group. Not everyone is as kind as my precious daughter. Daddy is afraid that you will be bullied."
