Wen Sisi paused as she was about to go to the restroom to change her clothes, then turned her head and said, "Sis, of course it's a girl."
Wen Zhixia stood up and walked towards her, then pulled the necklace off her neck again: "Which store did you buy this necklace from? I quite like it too. I happen to be free today, so I'll go with you later. How about you and your friend take me to buy one?"
Wen Sisi's face finally showed a hint of panic, but she still stubbornly said, "It's a boutique near my school. If you like it, I'll bring it back for you during the National Day holiday. We're not going to school today."
Wen Zhixia withdrew her hand and nodded: "Okay, then hurry up and change your clothes so we can go out together."
Wen Sisi looked at her in confusion. Wen Zhixia reached out and put away her watch and phone. She said, "I haven't watched a movie in a long time. It's perfect that we can watch one together today. Don't worry, I'll treat you and your friends to milk tea."
Wen Sisi's face suddenly turned ugly. She subconsciously reached out to take her phone back, but Wen Zhixia dodged her.
Clutching her phone and watch, she walked towards the sofa, urging, "Hurry up and change! What movie did you buy tickets for? Which row and which seats?"
Wen Sisi stood still, clutching her floral dress.
Wen Zhixia noticed and turned around to look at her.
Wen Sisi's eyes were red at this moment, and tears were welling up in her eyes but she couldn't fall.
Wen Zhixia tilted her head: "Why are you crying?"
Wen Sisi pursed her lips and remained silent; she had guessed what Wen Zhixia meant.
She said that Wen Zhixia, being such a busy person, would go to such lengths to deliver the watch to her school; she must have other things to do.
The two remained locked in this stalemate until Wen Zhixia finally said, "Hold back your tears."
Wen Sisi wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.
Wen Zhixia asked one last time, "I'll ask you one last time, is your friend who went to the movies with you a girl or a boy?"
Wen Sisi looked up at her, her voice rising slightly: "You already know! Why are you still asking me!"
Wen Zhixia took a deep breath and asked in return, "Sisi, shouldn't I ask you?"
Wen Sisi fell silent again.
Wen Zhixia asked, "Your homeroom teacher told me that you've been getting close to a male classmate lately. Who is this male classmate?"
Wen Sisi pursed her lips tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"You're not going to tell me? Then let's go ask together later. I want to see what kind of male classmate made you lie to me." As Wen Zhixia finished speaking, her phone vibrated, and she looked down at it.
Wen Sisi hadn't set up message blocking, so Wen Zhixia could see the other person's messages clearly just by looking down.
She read aloud, word by word, "Baby, have you gone out?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Sisi rushed forward to grab her phone, but Wen Zhixia restrained both of her hands with one hand.
No matter how hard Wen Sisi struggled, she couldn't break free. In the end, she stopped struggling and just cried.
Wen Zhixia had a bit of a headache. She said, "Do you know you're a senior in high school? Your homeroom teacher told me your grades have dropped drastically. Are you planning to graduate directly?"
She let go of Wen Sisi's hand: "When did you start lying to me? I always thought you were attending school obediently. If your homeroom teacher hadn't messaged me asking me to come over, I wouldn't have known you were hiding so many things from me!"
Wen Sisi bit her lower lip and didn't say a word.
Wen Zhixia was so angry she almost laughed.
She said, "You won't tell me, huh? Fine, we'll go out when you do."
Wen Zhixia turned around, preparing to sit on the sofa.
Wen Sisi knew Wen Zhixia's temper very well, and she also knew that if she didn't say anything, she really wouldn't be able to leave the house. Her phone and watch were in Wen Zhixia's hands, and she couldn't contact her boyfriend either.
She bit her lip, but still spoke: "Sister..."
Wen Zhixia turned around and looked at her again: "Have you thought it through?"
Wen Sisi wiped away her tears again, and said with her head down, "I will work hard to improve my grades, and I... I won't lie to you anymore..."
Wen Zhixia said, "I sent him a message saying I wasn't going and that we were breaking up."
Wen Sisi suddenly raised her head and said, "Sister, I promise you, I will definitely study hard and I will not be affected. Please don't make me break up with him. I really, really like him..."
"Is liking someone more important than your future?" Wen Zhixia felt her temples throbbing. "Do you even believe what you're saying? If you weren't affected, would your grades have plummeted from above average to fifth from the bottom?!"
"Once you get into a good university, I won't care if you date ten different people! But you're in your final year of high school now, do you know how important this is!"
It's unclear what she said that struck a nerve with Wen Sisi, but with tears welling up in her eyes, she shouted, "Do I need your help? In the past two years, have you ever seriously cared about me?"
She had an impulse to give up entirely, and stared at Wen Zhixia with red eyes: "I'm just your pet. You play with me when you feel like it, and you're busy with your own things when you don't. After Mom left, you never even thought about taking care of me properly!"
Wen Zhixia was stunned. She looked at Wen Sisi and asked, "What did you say?"
Wen Sisi continued, "You only care about yourself. I had a fever at school before, and I called you to pick me up. You told me to take a taxi back by myself and didn't even think about coming to pick me up! Did you ever think about what would happen if I passed out in the car? What if I couldn't get a taxi?"
This happened in the first half of the year. Wen Zhixia had a part-time job interview that day. The part-time job was a short-term weekend translation job, but the boss was very generous and paid three thousand yuan for one weekend. At that time, there were many competitors.
When Wen Zhixia received Wen Sisi's call, it was almost her turn.
She knew Wen Sisi was upset, but she also found it hard to give up the opportunity to earn three thousand yuan. Three thousand yuan could cover three months' rent, which would greatly reduce her financial burden.
"I'll also ask your homeroom teacher to take you to the school doctor to rest and take your medicine," Wen Zhixia said calmly. "If it weren't for that three thousand yuan, we wouldn't even be able to afford to rent this place. What else do you want me to do?"
She looked at Wen Sisi, sighed, and didn't even know what to say: "I took a taxi to find you as soon as I finished my work, took you to the hospital, and stayed with you all night."
Wen Sisi's eyes flickered, and Wen Zhixia continued, "That day, I was only three hours late."
“Wen Sisi, life isn’t a TV drama. When you were sick, your homeroom teacher was with you and made sure nothing happened to you. But without three thousand yuan, I can’t even afford to pay for your medical treatment.”
Wen Zhixia couldn't hide her disappointment, but she still said, "Forget it, you'll only feel like I'm putting pressure on you if I tell you these things."
Wen Sisi opened her mouth: "...Sister."
She stepped forward and returned the phone and watch to her.
Wen Sisi hesitated for a moment before taking the phone.
The next second, Wen Zhixia said, "I don't care what you think now, call him and break up with him right now, or I'll personally go to the school tomorrow to break up with him for you. Don't blame me for embarrassing him in front of so many people."
