Chapter 48 Jealous
Su Yun sent Xing Xiaochu home. After she opened the door, Su Yun did not go in. Instead, she stood at the door and said to her, "Now that you're home, I'll go back first."
Xing Xiaochu was stunned for a moment, and quickly untied his school uniform, only to find that there was black mud inside the uniform. Xing Xiaochu was stunned for a moment.
Su Yun also saw it and said to her with a smile: "You made it dirty, is it okay for me to clean it for you?"
Xing Xiaochu quickly said, "I'll wash it for you."
"Okay, I'll be leaving then." Su Yun waved at her and smiled brightly: "See you at school tomorrow."
Watching Su Yun come and go, Xing Xiaochu was distracted for a moment while clutching the school uniform that did not belong to him. He came to his senses when he felt something furry rubbing against his ankle. He bent down, picked up the cat and went into the house.
The washing machine was humming, and Xing Xiaochu looked at the clothes rolling around inside, and his mind also started humming along with them.
Although Xing Jianguo's words were unpleasant to hear, Xing Xiaochu still listened to them.
He said, it doesn’t matter who you sell it to.
He also said, why do you think that alpha is so nice to you? Isn't it because you look like your mother?
Xing Xiaochu lowered her head and closed her eyes, feeling very sad. She didn't care whether Qi Ying had money or not. She was willing to follow Qi Ying even if they had to wander around. But... she was afraid that Qi Ying didn't like her from the beginning.
Xing Xiaochu still remembers the scene when she first met Qi Ying. She was in a mess and covered in mud, while Qi Ying held up an umbrella to shield her from the rain. Like a goddess descending from the sky, she said to her tenderly: "My name is Qi Ying, I am your mother's friend, and she asked me to take good care of you."
Therefore, the reason why Qi Ying was so nice to me was entirely because of my mother.
When Xing Xiaochu thought of this, her eyes started to turn red, and she hugged the cat in her arms and cried sadly. Xing Xiaochu had nothing. She had no money, no emotional intelligence, a dull mind, and her cooking was not good.
The most important thing is that she is timid and afraid of everything she sees. Xing Xiaochu knows that she is useless and everyone dislikes such people, but she just doesn't know how to change.
She doesn't want to be hated.
I don’t want to be a substitute for my mother either…

When he logged into the game at night, Qi Ying saw Xing Xiaochu wearing an apron and fiddling with something in the kitchen. There were a few school uniforms floating on the balcony. Qi Ying took a look and immediately saw a school uniform jacket that was obviously not Xing Xiaochu's size.
Um?
Qi Ying immediately narrowed her eyes in alertness, as if something had happened here while she was away.
"Xiaochu, I'm back." Qi Ying greeted Xing Xiaochu. The dazed child then realized that Qi Ying had returned and quickly turned off the fire and ran out of the kitchen.
"What are you doing? It smells so good." Qi Ying smelled the sweet scent on Xing Xiaochu and asked her curiously.
"It's rock sugar and snow pear." Xing Xiaochu took the coat from Qi Ying's hand, hugged her and said to her: "I saw that my sister had a cough these two days. I happened to have two pears at home, so I cooked some rock sugar and snow pear."
So good.
Qi Ying looked at the sweet and soft girl in front of him, and suddenly he understood why some people wanted to get married. Coming back from a day of work, there was a beautiful and gentle wife waiting for him. That feeling was really warm.
"Thank you." Qi Ying said softly to Xing Xiaochu, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed I was coughing."
Xing Xiaochu put Qi Ying's coat aside and immediately went to the kitchen to serve Qi Ying a bowl of candied pears. Qi Ying also sat on the sofa and took a look at the school uniform jacket hanging on the balcony.
The freshly-cooked rock sugar pears were hot, with red dates and wolfberries in them. They smelled warm and sweet, and one bite directly warmed the stomach. Qi Ying drank it while it was hot.
"Xiaochu." Qi Ying drank half a bowl of rock sugar and snow pear soup and began to observe her child. While stirring the rock sugar and snow pear soup in the bowl with a spoon, she asked her: "That school uniform is not yours, right?"
Xing Xiaochu was stunned for a moment, looked up at the school uniform hanging on the balcony to dry, and nodded: "Yes, Su Yun lent it to me."
Su Yun?
Is he the one with a tuft of green hair on his head, Xing Xiaochu’s deskmate?
Somehow, Qi Ying felt unhappy when she heard this person's name. She said "Oh" indifferently and asked her, "Why did she lend you clothes for no reason?"
Xing Xiaochu suddenly became nervous, clasped his hands behind his back nervously, and found an excuse to tell her: "The clothes were dirty, so she lent them to me."
This is not wrong. He indeed borrowed the clothes because they were dirty. Fortunately, Xiaochu was not lying when he said this.
Qi Ying looked at the child in front of her with confusion, thinking that she would not lie to her about such a small matter, so she put down the bowl and spoon, patted the seat beside her, and motioned Xing Xiaochu to sit over.
The child looked at Qi Ying in confusion, then slowly moved over and sat next to Qi Ying.
Seeing Xing Xiaochu's alert look, Qi Ying asked her softly, "Xiaochu, what am I to you?"
Xing Xiaochu was stunned and said stutteringly: "Sister...sister?"
"Yes, I'm your sister." Qi Ying rubbed the child's white and tender cheek, leaned close to her and said, "So you can tell me anything you encounter, or anything you can't figure out. Did you really not encounter any problems outside today? Did that man come to you again, so you got your clothes dirty?"
Xing Xiaochu was very surprised that Qi Ying could guess it. She silently lowered her head and picked at her fingernails, which was considered as her agreement.
Qi Ying sighed in his heart and hugged the person next to him in his arms.
"Don't be afraid." Qi Ying said to her, "I will find a way to solve this matter."
Xing Xiaochu blinked, grasped the corner of the other person's clothes and said "hmm" softly.
That night, Qi Ying started looking up guides online, wanting to see how the role of Xing Xiaochu's father could be resolved permanently. Perhaps because the game was still in internal testing, there was no information about the game on the Internet.
Qi Ying frowned and looked around again but still couldn't find it. Finally, he had to call customer service to ask what the game strategy was.
The customer service was not angry at being disturbed in the middle of the night. They asked Qi Ying to add the customer service number and then sent a guide over. Qi Ying clicked on it and took a look, and found that Xing Jianguo was a compulsive gambler and currently owed 300,000 yuan. Even if they didn't deal with him, he would be chased by debt collectors when the first rain fell this autumn, and he would accidentally fall into the water and die.
After reading it, Qi Ying frowned slightly, turned around and closed his phone.
the next day.
Xia Ruoxin found that her good friend was not in a very working state. She had been in a daze for four or five times in the early morning. Each time, she was looking at the material in front of her in deep thought. At first, Xia Ruoxin thought she was thinking about how to cut it. Later, she found that the number of times she was in a daze was a little more than usual, and then she realized that Qi Ying was worried about something.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Ruoxin came over curiously and asked gossipingly, "Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?"
"What little girlfriend?" Qi Ying frowned: "We haven't even started dating yet."
"But that's not what you said two days ago." Xia Ruoxin said, "Don't do everything and then say it doesn't matter. That would be really bad of you."
Qi Ying's face suddenly turned red, and he said to her nervously: "No, it's nothing!"
Xia Ruoxin raised her eyebrows.
Stuttered.
"Could it be that you really slept with her?" Xia Ruoxin suddenly perked up, patting her arm shyly and excitedly: "She's a minor!"
"I'm an adult now!" Qi Ying's back was numb from being hit by her. He hugged his arms and shouted, "I've told you eight hundred times, I'm an adult now! And I didn't just eat and wipe out and walk away. I...I, I have something else to do. Don't get in the way."
How could Xia Ruoxin leave so easily? She immediately stuck to Qi Ying and asked, "How do you know that kid? Do her parents agree? Which school does she go to? Do you have any photos? I can see what kind of girl you like~"
Qi Ying pushed Xia Ruoxin's face and didn't want to answer any of her questions.
Fortunately, a customer came, and Qi Ying quickly left the man and ran to the warehouse at the back to get something, thus escaping the disaster.
It was called a warehouse, but it was actually just a small compartment with some sundries in it, a small table and a bench. Qi Ying sat on the chair, sighed, and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
Qi Ying opened the game and prepared to see what Xing Xiaochu was doing.
In fact, in addition to the surveillance at home, this game can also be seen in school, not limited to classrooms, gymnasiums, playgrounds and cafeterias. Qi Ying can see any corner as long as there is surveillance.
It seemed to be class time now. Qi Ying saw on her phone the backs of a group of children dressed identically. The teacher on the stage was giving a lecture, but the audience was drowsy.
Qi Ying quickly found Xing Xiaochu's back. She was sitting in her seat, listening to the lecture attentively, taking notes from time to time. Next to her was a girl lying down and sleeping.
Although the other person covered her head with her school uniform jacket, Qi Ying could still recognize that this was the girl named Su Yun.
The clothes were washed by Xing Xiaochu last night.
When Qi Ying thought of Su Yun sleeping soundly with the coat that Xing Xiaochu had washed herself, she felt inexplicably unhappy, as if she was jealous.
But the next second, she saw the serious female teacher on the podium slap the table and called out "Su Yun". Xing Xiaochu turned her head slightly to look at the people around her and poked her exposed arm.
Su Yun moved under her coat, sat up impatiently, and looked at the person on the podium with her messy hair.
The female teacher seemed very unhappy that this person was sleeping in her class. She pointed at the door and motioned her to stand in the corridor as punishment. Su Yun leaned back in her chair and scratched her already messy hair. She didn't think there was anything wrong with sleeping in class. She got up sleepily, squeezed out from behind Xing Xiaochu, and swaggered to the door to stand as punishment.
As Su Yun went out, the female teacher ran to the door and scolded her for something again. She came back to class after a few minutes.
Xing Xiaochu looked at the person standing by the window with a worried look on his face. It was a long time before he turned his head around. Although he turned his head back, his attention was still on Su Yun. He kept glancing outside from time to time throughout the class, and only retracted his gaze a little in the second half of the class.
Qi Ying: “…”
She was very unhappy.
