Still coaxing
Xu Nian had attended countless interest classes in his previous life, and the two he persisted in the longest were dancing and writing.
The first of these two things is not a voluntary act, but the second is still a point of interest.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about the family she lived in in her previous life.
The reason why her adoptive parents adopted her was very straightforward and simple, which was for fame and to exchange resources for her when she grew up.
It sounds like people in their class are treated as non-human beings, like bartering, but the actual situation is even more cruel than this.
Although their own children are not as obviously commercial as her, many things are also controlled by them. They are the hard work of several generations of the family. It is impossible for them to let you do whatever you want just because they love you.
What's more, it is because you love your children that you won't let them be so casual. Money sounds materialistic, but if you really don't have it, it can make you materialistic from the inside out.
So Xu Nian sincerely felt that being adopted by her adoptive parents was the greatest blessing in her previous life.
So what if she didn't have that much family affection? Her life from the age of four to seventeen was better than many people's.
Adopted children are rarely ugly; most are smart and pretty. Xu Nian is an exceptionally fair-skinned and pretty girl in that welfare home, and most importantly, she looks very well-behaved.
As for finding out later that I am a chatterbox, it will be difficult for me to quit.
It was my adoptive mother who decided to let me learn dance. She said that it would help me maintain my figure, exercise my body and cultivate my temperament.
Xu Nian stumbled upon writing by accident. She has always had the habit of keeping a diary, but since she came here, she hasn't written in a long time because the diary is precious.
When she was young, she was very scared when she came to a new family and didn't dare to talk much. However, she was lively and loved to talk.
So ever since she learned to read with a tutor, she wrote down a lot of things she wanted to say in her diary. This diary was accidentally seen by her adoptive mother, who found it interesting and put some of her entries in the magazine's interesting stories.
It became unexpectedly popular. Of course, a big reason for this might be the dividends of the times. Due to family planning, there were too few children, so the children became cute and adorable, and their childish words made people laugh when they read them.
Because of this incident, Xu Nian had the initial budding idea of writing, and was also treated differently by his adoptive parents.
However, the most important reason why she can persist in writing is that she is really bad at science and her grades in some liberal arts subjects are also average. She urgently needs to seize this bright spot that can make her shine.
Xu Nian looked down at the film reviews in the magazine and felt that they were written in a rather conventional way. The column of submitted articles in the newspaper was mostly about heroes, etc., but the common point was that they all promoted the theme of this era - red.
Xu Nian flipped through the pages one by one, feeling that he could start from this aspect.
Think about it, it’s already 74 years now, which is already the end of a certain cultural movement. I think there is a lot of room for future development.
Thinking of this, I thought of Liang Ting's family again. Her father can be regarded as a unique "product" of this era. In the near future, the Revolutionary Committee will probably end and settle accounts.
She didn't know whether Liang Ting's family would be affected. She was thinking about Liang Ting in her heart, and suddenly she heard Liang Ting crying.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and sounded very pitiful. Xu Nian put down the book and walked towards the source of the sound.
Liang Ting's nose was red and tears were falling. She was looking at people inside with her red eyes, obviously looking for them.
Xu Nian quickened his pace and jogged over to catch up with the group. Liu Xi also came over quickly and both heard Liang Ting crying.
Some people also began to look over here. Xu Nian and Liu Xi pulled people out of the bookstore and walked towards a less crowded place.
Seeing that there were no people around, he stopped and Liu Xi immediately asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Nian saw that Liang Ting was usually so arrogant, but now she was so pitiful that he felt bad. He patted Liang Ting, who was still hiccuping, and asked, "Who bullied you?"
Liang Ting had been trying to hold back her tears, but when they asked her, she couldn't hold them back anymore. She sobbed and said, "Someone scared me with a snake."
“Woo… woo… woo…”
"That snake was so long and slippery. The man was leaning over the wall, holding the snake and pulling it down. It almost touched my face."
Xu Nian was also afraid of snakes and other things. After hearing this, he felt that the man was very vicious and felt even more sorry for Liang Ting.
"Do you know that person? Most people wouldn't dare to bully you so blatantly."
Xu Niangang was just filled with righteous indignation, but after hearing Liu Xi's question, he realized that with her family's influence, few people would dare to mess with her, right?
Liang Ting looked completely bewildered. "I don't know him. He was slovenly and looked younger than me. After I started crying, he just ran away."
As if remembering something, he continued, "Wow... He also told me to be careful and not to be bullied by anyone. His tone was very strange. I could tell he wasn't from the county, and it didn't sound like the tone of people from our class or village."
"I've been hanging out with you two lately. I've been studying well and haven't bullied anyone."
Xu Nian took out some pink toilet paper from his pocket to wipe her tears and comforted her: "You have been honest recently. I can testify for you."
Liang Ting's eyelids were swollen now. She seemed speechless after hearing what Xu Nian said. She stopped crying, but she looked a little angry.
Among the three of them, Liu Xi was the most reliable and normal. "Why didn't you go home and find your family?"
Liang Ting thought for a moment and pouted, "That's right."
Three people: "..."
"I was already quite far from home at that time. My home was in the opposite direction of the bookstore. My brother even gave me a ride on his bike when he went to work at noon."
"Besides, there's no one home when I go home. They're all out."
Seeing her like this, Xu Nian felt like she had to suffer in silence. It was obvious that the person was hired specifically to take revenge on her, and she couldn't find the person anymore.
Xu Nian touched his nose and said, "I think he is just trying to scare you. He probably doesn't dare to really hurt you. But I think you should talk to your family."
Liu Xi obviously thought so too. "That's right. It's safer."
Liang Ting and the others lost interest in staying in the bookstore, but Xu Nian was still thinking about getting rich, so she asked them to wait for a while while she went to the bookstore to buy some newspapers to study.
The other two waited for a while before they saw Xu Nian running over again, "Xixi, can you lend me 50 cents? I'll buy some newspapers and I'll pay you back in a couple of days."
Liu Xi happened to have 50 cents with him when he came to the bookstore, and he gave it all to Xu Nian.
The man took the money and ran away.
Xu Nian bought a lot of expired old newspapers, and then thought that he still needed to know the latest developments, so he bought the latest issues of new newspapers. That was why he didn't have enough money just now.
She borrowed fifty cents and spent a total of seventy cents. Just by doing this, she had two cents in her hand. Otherwise, she would not have thought about making money.
Liang Ting returned with a stack of newspapers in her arms. This time she walked between the two of them, looking like a frightened bird.
Maybe she was tired of crying, so Liang Ting went back to the dormitory and fell asleep. Since no one was at home, she took another day off. She planned to tell her family next Sunday that she would not leave the school for the time being.
As soon as Liu Xi came back, he continued reading the novel, while Xu Nian was short of money, so he took the rare opportunity to calm down and study the newspaper.
There were groups of people chatting and playing in the dormitory, but none of them disturbed Xu Nian. She was reading and taking notes, which looked so strange that the classmates who came in to help others call her were stunned.
Everyone knows that there's a girl in the first grade class who's always distracted in class, but her grades are okay. It turns out she's been studying hard in private. She thinks she's found out...
When Xu Nian heard someone calling her, she thought it was Xu Fengkai. As a result, when she went downstairs and walked out of the girls' dormitory door, she saw Xu Hongqi standing at the place where he had looked for her last time, waiting for her.
Xu Nian was smiling when she went downstairs, and she was still a little shocked when she saw Xu Hongqi.
As a result, Xu Hongqi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw her like this.
Xu Nian couldn't help but think, 'Why, is he still afraid of her?'
In a moment he stopped walking and his expression changed as he just stared at the person.
As a result, Xu Hongqi's brows, which had just relaxed, wrinkled slightly again. If she didn't have good eyesight, she really wouldn't be able to see it.
Since she didn't move, Xu Hongqi had to move naturally. He seemed to have grown taller, and his long legs took two steps at a time. In a few steps, he was in front of her.
"Do you want to talk about it here?" This was the first sentence Xu Hongqi said to her.
Xu Nian curled his lips inwardly, but pretended to be aloof on the surface, "I have nothing to say to you."
Xu Hongqi rubbed his brows and said, "I have something to tell you." Seeing that Xu Nian was unmoved, he blurted out, "Don't be angry. I know who bullied you. She won't dare to do it again."
"Ah?" Xu Nian couldn't help but let out a sound of doubt, but then his heart skipped a beat.
I looked around and although there weren't many people around, it wasn't quiet either.
No, what does he mean?
Could it be what she thought?
Seeing that Xu Hongqi was about to speak, Xu Nian didn't care that they were still in a cold war, so he grabbed the other person's hand and pulled him out.
But after walking a few steps, I found that there were people everywhere and I didn’t know where to go, so I stopped and turned around unconsciously.
The person being pulled is now very obedient.
Seeing her like this, Xu Hongqi knew that this girl was still soft-hearted and cared about his reputation. He felt happy and relieved.
I'll take you to a place with fewer people, he said as he gently turned his hand and held Xu Nian.
If Xu Nian said she didn't want to go at this time, it would be a bit hypocritical, so she didn't say anything and just let him pull her away silently.
As I was walking, I saw the cinema where I had been last week but didn't see a movie.
Seeing that he was about to go in, Xu Nian stopped moving.
Xu Hongqi loosened his hand and said softly as if to coax her, "Come in, it's easier to talk inside."
Seeing him like this, Xu Nian felt itchy inside for some reason.
I kind of want to go in.
Xu Hongqi was like a worm in her stomach, and he seemed to know what she meant without her saying anything.
Reaching out and pulling her inside again, Xu Nian felt embarrassed and couldn't help but snort.
At this time, Xu Hongqi had already handed in the ticket, and they walked into the room with a curtain.
There were a lot of people this time, and all kinds of noises mixed together, but it was in such a noisy environment that Xu Nian heard Xu Hongqi's laughter.
