"Not to mention he's a leader, even in school, if you don't get along with a classmate, it's awkward coming and going. But classmates drift apart after a few years. This job, I might be doing it for life. I can't be awkward forever. If we had disliked each other from the start, that would be one thing, but he even helped me out."
Xu Keke's words reminded Gao Jiale of Luo Xi. Now the whole class knew he and Luo Xi didn't get along. They weren't exactly best friends before, but they sat in front of and behind each other, and everyone got along fairly well. Ever since that incident, Luo Xi acted like everyone owed her money, always walking around with a cold face. It's impossible for classmates to be completely unaffected; if you talked to her, she wouldn't even acknowledge you. It was really quite awkward to watch.
After seeing off the three members of the Gao family, it was already late, so Xu Keke pulled Meng Jia to go to sleep quickly.
The two got into bed, but Xu Keke couldn't fall asleep. It seemed there wasn't even a place to sleep. In this day and age, let alone not having enough money, even if she did, she'd need a work unit certificate to stay in a hotel. As for marriage, she didn't want to marry anyone but Qi Chang. But now she didn't know where he was, or how long he'd be gone.
What I fear most is that he'll go see his parents off. Meng Zikang should be out of work by now; Manager Lin implied that he'll likely be transferred in the next few days. Xu Keke sighed softly. Xinjiang is so far away; by the time Qi Chang returns, she'll be sleeping on the street.
A sobbing sound came from beside her. It was Xiao Mengjia crying. Xu Keke quickly sat up, pulled the light cord on the wall, and the room instantly lit up.
Xu Keke turned the person over, stared into her eyes, and asked anxiously, "Didn't you say that the hit he gave you didn't hurt anymore? Or did you bump into something?"
Meng Jia sobbed, "I...I...."
The little one hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything. Xu Keke was really anxious and rummaged through her clothes, "Where does it hurt? Point it out to me."
"I don't miss you because I can't go to university. And I can't get married."
"You scared me to death," Xu Keke said, feigning anger as she turned off the light. "You scared me to death. Is it really worth crying over?"
The little girl looked very aggrieved. Xu Keke didn't even need to look to know that her tears were still falling and had already soaked her pillow.
Unable to fool her any longer, Xu Keke reluctantly pulled her into her arms. She had been trying to avoid bringing this up, afraid that the woman would overthink it and think she was a burden, but she hadn't expected that the truth would still be out in the open today.
"Stop crying, you've soaked my clothes, and I won't have any to change into."
Hearing this, the little girl desperately wiped away her tears, but she couldn't stop them.
Xu Ke was afraid that she would rub her eyes until they were swollen again, so he could only reach out and take her hand. "I'm asking you, if you had something to eat right now, just one bite, and you would starve to death if you didn't eat it, would you eat it yourself or give it to me?"
Meng Jia sniffed, and it took her a while to open her mouth. She sobbed, "Here you go."
"Yes, me too. I can't even imagine who else in this world could treat me as well as you. How pitiful it is for a person to have no family left."
Xu Keke didn't wait for her reply, and continued, "But I'm lucky I still have you, otherwise I would be the most pitiful person. I've thought about going to school. The reason I haven't told you before is that I think the two of us will definitely figure out a way. With the two of us, what can't we do? Don't you think so?"
Meng Jia gave a muffled "Mmm!"
Xu Keke said to Meng Jia with absolute determination, "I will definitely go to university. I will make arrangements for you and me. Do you believe what your sister says?"
"letter!"
Xu Keke tightened her grip on her shoulder. "Alright, go to sleep, you have school tomorrow."
Xu Keke only felt relieved when the little one's breathing gradually stabilized. She had been too busy today and had neglected her. Luckily, she cried; otherwise, she wouldn't have known she was carrying such a heavy burden.
However, in the future, if I have any problems, I should try to talk to her. I need to teach her to think about problems and not let her develop a weak and submissive nature.
