"So…where do you want to go tomorrow?"
After school, He Sui quickly packed his schoolbag and turned his head to ask the little girl next to him.
He was really curious.
He had asked this question at least three times since the English class began, but the little girl just refused to tell him.
He felt itchy in his heart as if there were ants crawling around.
She seemed to be in a good mood and was humming softly.
Cong Nian stopped packing her schoolbag and met his gaze.
Her watery eyes seemed to contain a whole field of starlight. Even though the sky outside was gloomy, her eyes were still bright.
She curved her lips, and two dimples appeared.
She tilted her little head, her tone very sweet and soft, as if she was acting coquettishly.
"Um...a secret."
Well, actually she hadn’t decided where to go.
I'll go back and check the guide at night.
He Sui chuckled.
At her strong request, I did not stay after school to continue studying math. I could go home after packing my schoolbag.
As soon as Yu Xinghe finished her get out of class, she left with her schoolbag. She was going to find Fang Xun to discuss matters related to the competition, and then she had to go to cram school.
There were only a few students on duty left in the classroom.
Cong Nian always likes to check twice when packing her schoolbag to avoid finding out that she forgot to bring some books or notebooks home when she goes home to do her homework at night.
Therefore, she is always slower than others.
After finally packing his schoolbag, He Sui took it over naturally.
With one on his shoulder and one in his hand, from the front he looks a bit like a parent picking up his child from school.
Cong Nian held his little finger and the two of them walked out of the classroom together.
Her hands were very small and could be easily held in He Sui's palms.
So as they held hands, He Suibian would turn his palm over and gently hold her little hand.
She would not break free and let him hold her hand.
This is an unspoken understanding between each other.
The sky outside was gloomy, foggy, and dim, as if it was about to rain.
When the leaves on the tree are blown by the wind, many water droplets will fall.
The street lights were not on yet and the view was a little dim. Only a few lights were on in the classrooms I passed by, indicating that the students on duty had not left yet.
Light came through the window and sprinkled on the ground.
They walked hand in hand in the quiet corridor, preparing to turn out from the stairs at the end.
The corner of the stairs on the first floor is a blind spot.
Normally students would slow down to avoid someone walking down the stairs and accidentally bumping into each other.
A girl had a simple high ponytail, braided into a pigtail, and her hair swung behind her head as she ran.
Her hair is very long and reaches her waist when let down.
It's the kind of long hair that reaches the waist as the saying goes.
But she doesn't expect a young man to marry her.
She was running down the stairs quickly while answering the phone, and she didn't notice anyone appearing around the corner.
Qiao Ran thought that it was already a while before school was over, there weren't many people in the school, and not many people paid attention to her on weekdays.
Then she dared to run up the stairs without worry.
She was wearing her black and white coat with her summer school uniform underneath.
Qiao Tianai withheld all the living expenses given to her by the mistress of the Qiao family and deliberately made things difficult for her, but she called it training her ability to live.
The mistress of the Qiao family naturally would not speak for her illegitimate daughter.
The monthly living expenses she was given couldn't even buy Qiao Tianai half a skirt.
She couldn't afford the autumn school uniform, so she had to wear the black and white clothes she brought from the countryside as her school uniform.
The clothes have been worn for a long time and washed many times, and the edges are worn and yellowed, looking wrinkled.
This coat is most similar to the autumn school uniform, so she always wears it.
Trying not to be so conspicuous.
If her face wasn't so clean, she would really be mistaken for a beggar who makes a living by begging on the street.
She could only do odd jobs at the lunch station after school to avoid going hungry.
And now she was almost late.
The owner of the restaurant just sent a message saying that if she is late today, she should pack up and leave and not come again.
Then she would have to find a part-time job again.
It seems that everyone in the world looks down on her.
There were still four steps to the platform on the middle level. Qiao Ran took nimble steps and jumped down like a wild goose.
He had just landed and hadn't even stood firmly when he turned around with the help of the handrail and continued to jog down.
At the same time, Qiao Ran rarely said impatiently to Qiao Tianai on the other end of the phone: "I know, I will help you keep an eye on them and help you stop them if they do anything out of line."
On second thought, there is no free lunch in the world. This is the truth that Qiao Tianai taught her.
So she added.
"But you have to pay me first, otherwise I will turn a blind eye and let it develop naturally."
Her tone was light, even a little gloating.
She has almost figured out Qiao Tianai's routine, so naturally she knows what is most likely to make her collapse.
Qiao Ran even felt a little grateful to Cong Nian.
She "stole" away Brother He, who was considered by Qiao Tianai to belong to her.
Let her also experience the heartache of being abandoned.
This feeling is so refreshing.
Her steps became lighter with excitement.
Qiao Tianai roared on the other end of the phone.
"Bitch! You want a reward for doing nothing?! You'll only be a bastard for the rest of your life, a bastard that will never be acknowledged!"
"As long as I'm here, you'll never be able to enter the Qiao family's gate!"
"Never be delusional!"
"You're just like your mother! Both of you are lowly! Born to be lowly!"
"you……"
Since Qiao Ran was adopted into the Qiao family, he has heard such insults from Qiao Tianai and the Qiao family's mistress almost every day.
She is a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
It's a stain on the Qiao family.
But Qiao Ran never understood.
Why blame her?
She is obviously innocent.
Her birth was not her decision.
It was her mother, the maid who wanted to become a phoenix, who gave birth to her but didn't want her.
If she had a choice, she would rather have the baby die in the womb.
Why don’t they blame the person in charge of the Qiao family who cheated during her pregnancy?
Oh.
They dare not.
