Chapter 108 The White-Cut Black-Hearted Younger Brother 8
Xu Qiuqiu browsed through the posts and saw that many people were criticizing the male lead and the female supporting character. She praised 003's writing skills with satisfaction, "003, you've really gotten better and better at writing lately."
Upon hearing the praise, 003 became excited: "Thank you for the compliment, host!"
After get off work, Xu Qiuqiu packed her things and returned to her rented apartment.
She took out her phone and checked the balance on her salary card. She still had 30,000 yuan left, enough to last her for a while. She could rest for a couple of days before looking for a job.
The female protagonist comes from a well-off family with an annual income of around 300,000 yuan. Her father can support her even if she doesn't work. The reason she rents a place is simply because it's close to her company. However, now that she has resigned, she can't waste the rent. She'll look for a job nearby later.
Friday afternoon arrived quickly, and Xiao Yichen returned home with a smile on his face.
He longed to see Sister Qiuqiu immediately.
He had learned from Bai Di that Qiuqiu got off work at five o'clock, so he sat obediently in the lobby and waited, hoping that Qiuqiu would see him as soon as she got home.
It wasn't until I was called to dinner that I found out my sister didn't live at home.
Xiao Yichen's eyes darkened, his fingers clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and all the anticipation and excitement he had felt throughout the day vanished in an instant.
He quickly composed himself and looked at Bai Di obediently, asking, "Uncle, is Sister Qiuqiu doing very well in her studies?"
Speaking of this, Bai Di's face lit up with pride, "Yes, A Qiu is a very good student, and he graduated from Peking University."
Xiao Yichen looked at her with admiration, "Sister Qiuqiu is so amazing, Uncle, if I don't understand something in my studies in the future, can I ask Sister Qiuqiu?"
Listening to their conversation, Yang Wan paused, her fingers still holding the food she was picking up. She wondered why Yi Chen's grades had always been the best in his grade, and he even had a spot in a university admission program.
Seemingly guessing Yang Wan's thoughts, Xiao Yichen looked at her, his smile bright, but his eyes revealed coldness and warning, "Mom, what do you think?"
Perhaps because she hadn't seen that look in a long time, Yang Wan was startled and nodded vaguely.
Her son was always well-behaved and never caused her any trouble, but whenever he gave her that look, it would frighten her and make her afraid to say anything out of line.
But when she looked up again, Xiao Yichen had regained his innocent and carefree demeanor, like crystal-clear lake water, without a trace of impurity.
Bai Di didn't notice the subtle tension between the two. He looked at Xiao Yichen with a smile and praised, "Good boy who loves to study, not bad, not bad."
“Ah Qiu rests two days a week, which is perfect for tutoring you. I’ll call her now.” After saying that, Bai Di took out his phone and dialed Xu Qiuqiu’s number.
Having gotten the result he wanted, Xiao Yichen's eyes flickered slightly, and he obediently said, "Thank you, Uncle."
Xu Qiuqiu was still confused when she received Bai Di's call. Bai Di asked her to go home and tutor Xiao Yichen.
Well... can she say that she's forgotten most of it since graduation?
She had no choice but to say tactfully over the phone, "Dad, I might not be able to come home this weekend. I have some things to take care of."
Hearing her say that, Bai Di didn't ask any more questions. He said with concern, "Well, take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself. We can talk about it again when you have time."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Di didn't forget to comfort Xiao Yichen, "It's okay, Yichen, I'll ask your sister Qiuqiu to tutor you when she's on vacation."
Have a holiday?
He couldn't wait that long; five days was already agonizing enough.
"It's okay, I understand that my sister is busy. Uncle, where does my sister live? I'd like to visit her and learn from her when she has time."
Bai Di smiled helplessly and told Xiao Yichen the address.
After dinner, as night fell, Xiao Yichen stuffed a stuffed animal into the blanket, locked the door, turned off the lights, picked up his phone, and climbed out the window from the second floor.
He hailed a taxi and arrived at the address of the bachelor apartment Bai Di had given him, but a security guard stopped him at the door. He took out his phone and dialed the number he had just memorized from Bai Di's phone.
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Yichen's voice was choked with sobs, which startled Xu Qiuqiu, who quickly went downstairs to meet him.
Upon seeing Xu Qiuqiu approach, Xiao Yichen's face instantly contorted with grievance, and his eyes began to redden, making him look like an abandoned little animal.
Only the security guard felt like he had seen a ghost, because when Xiao Yichen was on the phone, his face was very calm, but his voice was trembling with tears, which looked extremely strange. However, when he saw Xu Qiuqiu coming downstairs, the expression on his face immediately turned into that of someone who had been bullied badly.
Xu Qiuqiu couldn't bear to see him looking so pitiful, so she took him back to the room in the elevator.
"Sister..." Sitting on the sofa, Xiao Yichen called out to her in a hoarse voice, as if he had been crying too much. Then his eyes reddened again. "Sister, have I bothered you...?"
Seeing his appearance, Xu Qiuqiu felt sorry for him and sat down beside him. She raised her hand to touch his head and asked him softly, "I didn't mean to disturb you. What's wrong? What happened?"
"Sister..." Xiao Yichen, who was suddenly touched, almost couldn't contain his excitement, but he quickly suppressed it, lowered his eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know what I did to upset Mom today. She scolded me. Maybe it's because I'm too stupid. I can't do anything right and I don't know how to please people..."
As he spoke, Xiao Yichen raised his eyes again, his eyes brimming with tears, "Sister... I really don't know where to go... The first person I can think of is you, sister... Sister... you won't send Achen away too, will you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tear rolled down his cheek and fell, forming a droplet on his chin. It quickly dripped onto Xu Qiuqiu's hand, burning her heart with pain.
She looked up and saw a boy who was both fragile and possessed a broken beauty.
She suddenly felt so sorry for Ah Chen; he must have suffered so much injustice, being driven to run away from home...
"Achen, don't cry. It's late. Stay here with me for now." After saying that, Xu Qiuqiu raised her hand and gently wiped away his tears. Just like before, his body would tremble and his eyes would become dull as he stared at her.
However, she didn't think much of it. Perhaps Ah Chen wasn't used to her touch, so she took out a few tissues and handed them to him, "Ah Chen, don't cry, wipe your tears."
Xiao Yichen took the tissue and lowered his eyes to hide all his emotions. Every time she touched him, he felt a tingling sensation like an electric shock to his soul, striking straight to his heart.
What's more, his sister was looking at him with such tenderness, and he was so close to her that he could feel her body temperature and breath.
He blamed himself for being so weak, for not hiding his emotions well, and for almost giving himself away.
