How could such confusion arise in a small child?
When faced with her daughter's problems, Sun Lifang took on her own role.
This is similar to a wealthy person thinking about how to preserve the value of their assets.
Adults and children are the same; they just think from different perspectives.
In her previous life, Zhou Xinya didn't think so much, and no one explained to her why others would give her money for free; it all seemed perfectly natural.
In her past life, Zhou Xinya only thought her father was awesome, and he had an endless amount of pocket money. She was too lazy to think and just waited for food to be served.
But this life is different. After understanding where money comes from and taking this "financial literacy class", Zhou Xinya is eager to "preserve the value of what she owns and not let what she already has leave her."
This includes a lot of gold.
Everyone loves and flatters him, except for Jinziduo.
"Perhaps I can try it on him—"
"Try to set aside family background and school status, and win Jin Ziduo's favor on an equal footing, so that he can't live without you."
Others fawn over her because of her attractive qualities, but Jin Ziduo is different. Even if she has those qualities, Jin Ziduo doesn't care about her.
Therefore, Jin Ziduo was Zhou Xinya's first target for seduction.
This is what Zhou Xinya thought about it—
"When I move to a new environment, there will definitely be many people like Jin Ziduo who don't like me."
but!
As long as she manages to acquire more gold and understands this logic of "popularity," she won't have to worry about people disliking her!
With that thought in mind, Zhou Xinya fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, she was suddenly woken up by her parents, who said she had a fever and needed to take her to get medicine.
Ugh, getting medicine means getting an injection.
Zhou Xinya leaned on her father's shoulder, squinting as she listened to the doctor say, "It's caused by eating too many sweets and cookies, leading to tonsillitis and inflammation, plus the recent cool weather and lack of care."
The inflammation and cough eventually turned into a fever.
Great opportunity!
Zhou Xinya suddenly remembered something, struggled to open her eyes, and answered the doctor's question, "Uncle, I choose IV drip."
Between injections and IV drips, Zhou Xinya chose to have an IV drip.
It's strange, my daughter, who usually hates trouble and prefers quick solutions, has now chosen to have an IV drip.
Sun Lifang couldn't understand, but fortunately her daughter was thoughtful and sensible, and told her, "Mom, go back and rest. I'm in the next room."
"Sleeping in a hanging position means you don't have to worry about minor illnesses."
So, at Zhou Xinya's insistence, they finally agreed that "Dad will take you to have breakfast at six o'clock."
It's three or four in the morning now, and it will probably be around six o'clock by the time this IV drip is finished.
Even during the Lunar New Year, there are many disasters and calamities.
Before leaving, Zhou Xinya asked her father for his phone, saying, "If you don't wake up at six o'clock, I'll call you."
That makes sense. Without thinking too much, Sun Lifang handed over her phone. "Use Mom's. Call her if you need anything. She's right next door."
Okay, she squinted her eyes, her hand outside receiving an IV drip, looking like she was about to fall asleep.
As soon as the lights dimmed and the footsteps outside gradually faded away, Zhou Xinya took out her phone, thought of a number, and dialed it.
Who would answer the phone at this hour?
Zhou Xinya thought to herself that she planned to call seven or eight times, hang up as soon as it rang, and build up the mood.
Unexpectedly, the call was connected on the second attempt.
"Hello?"
A hoarse, tired yet unusually firm voice came from the other end, "Is it Zhou Xinya?"
Huh? How did he know?
Zhou Xinya was startled and only managed a soft "hmm" after a long pause.
Why are you calling me? Is something wrong?
Look, look! That's how cold and ruthless, how rigidly methodical the questions are.
Can I call you if there's nothing wrong?
Because I couldn't see the other person's expression over the phone, I felt a little awkward.
Zhou Xinya hummed in agreement again, and then said, "I'm getting an IV drip at the hospital. The doctor just gave me a shot, and it hurts so much."
When I said this, I was still a little uneasy about Jin Ziduo's reaction.
Would he say, "Then why did you call me? I'm not a doctor."
Thinking about Jin Ziduo's performance at school, Zhou Xinya hesitated again, "Forget it, I'll just—"
"Are you lonely?" The boy's voice suddenly interrupted her. "What a coincidence, me too."
Jinzi often feels this way, and even when there are many people around, he still feels lonely.
That feeling of not being able to fit in even when standing in a crowd has always lingered.
Because I've tried it, I understand.
Zhou Xinya didn't understand what "lots of gold" meant, and didn't dare to speak.
What the heck? She clearly came looking for attention, so why is she suddenly discussing loneliness?
Who wants to talk to you about loneliness? I want your sympathy so we can make up!
This was Zhou Xinya's real purpose for making the call, but Jin Ziduo's behavior has become quite strange lately—
It's not easy to talk to them anymore.
I already told you I was in the hospital getting an IV drip, and you're still asking me if I'm lonely? Isn't that obvious?
Zhou Xinya didn't reply, and Jin Ziduo wasn't in a hurry. He asked, "Do you want me to come and keep you company?"
Note that he used the subject "you think—"
Guide Zhou Xinya to express her own thoughts, instead of foolishly rushing to make sacrifices.
Once Zhou Xinya admits it, it will no longer be a one-woman show.
Do you want to? Zhou Xinya glanced out the window. The sky was slowly turning white, but the conversation wasn't going in the direction she had expected.
