Su Luo pressed down on her daughter's shoulder and said earnestly.
"Nini, Daddy has something important to tell you, okay?"
Su Jianni asked warily, "What is it?"
Do you ever feel like you're different from other kids?
"What's different?"
Su Luo knew her daughter would ask her this question, so she patiently explained.
"Exactly, don't you think you know a little too much?"
Su Jiani proudly raised her head.
"I know, but isn't that a good thing? I know a lot because I'm smart, and they're all too stupid."
This sentence completely baffled Su Luo.
My daughter is right. She is very smart, but this is precocious, which is not a good sign.
Su Luo reorganized her thoughts and discussed the matter.
"Do you know about psychological counseling? It's very popular abroad. I haven't been able to spend much time with you lately. I know you must have a lot of frustrations during this time."
"Perhaps there are many things you can't tell me. How about I take you to a counselor to talk to them?"
Although Su Luo's words were already quite tactful.
But Su Jiani's expression changed, and she asked in surprise.
"Does Dad mean I have psychological problems? Does he think I'm a problem child?"
"No, that's not what I meant, I..."
That's what you mean!
"I'm not going!"
Su Jianni glared at Su Luo, picked up the little crocodile plush toy from the sofa, and angrily hid in her room.
He slammed the door shut.
Su Luo sighed in frustration and decided not to follow.
He knew his daughter wouldn't agree easily, and sure enough, she did.
Oh well, let her be.
We'll have to find another way.
I dejectedly went back to the bathroom.
Standing in front of the sink, I turned on the tap and washed my face with cold water.
The reflection in the mirror shows me wearing a white shirt that costs less than a hundred yuan.
His hair was somewhat disheveled, his face was haggard and pale, his eyes were bloodshot and red, and the diamond-encrusted Nanjing lock around his neck was still shining brightly, almost blindingly so.
Looking at it this way, this Nanjing lock really doesn't suit me at all.
All the things I own are less expensive than a platinum chain from Nanjing Lock.
Su Luo raised her hand and gently stroked the diamond on the lock, forcing a bitter smile at the corners of her mouth.
Things that don't suit you will only increase your burden.
It's better to let go and stop coveting this dazzling light.
Su Luo decided to go find the master to unlock the lock first thing tomorrow morning!
Back in the bedroom.
Su Luo climbed into bed, closed her eyes, perhaps finally deciding to let go of the past and remove the shackles that had bound her.
She fell asleep very quickly and slept very soundly.
...
As soon as it got light.
Su Luo went to the market near the community and found a small shop to unlock the Nanjing lock around her neck.
I didn't expect it to be so easy to open; it opened in less than three minutes.
If I had known it was this easy, I would have opened it sooner.
Upon arriving at the company, Su Luo held a morning meeting to summarize the recent project progress.
Then new tasks were assigned.
Then I returned to my supervisor's office, turned on my computer, and started editing the video.
Knock knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
Su Luo said without looking up.
"Come in."
Ye Xiaotian pushed the door open and quickly closed it, grinning as he entered.
"Brother Luo, I'm busy."
Su Luo looked up warily and put down the mouse.
He knew Ye Xiaotian all too well; he knew that whenever Ye Xiaotian called him Brother Luo, it was never a good thing.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say!"
Ye Xiaotian sat down opposite Su Luo on the bench, rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile.
"Um, my sister is coming back tomorrow. We're going out for dinner the day after tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"
Su Luo frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Isn't there still five days until the end of the month?"
Ye Xiaotian scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"I came back early because I only found out today. I just came to let you know, okay? After get off work the day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow is Wednesday. After getting off work, Su Luo spent some time with her daughter and there was nothing important to do. She pondered for a moment.
He compromised, saying, "Fine."
Ye Xiaotian excitedly grasped Su Luo's hand.
"That's great, Brother Luo, you absolutely have to wear the dress I gave you, and that wig too, otherwise I'm afraid my sister won't believe me."
Su Luo immediately pulled his hand back, a layer of fine goosebumps rising on his forearm. Was it just his imagination? Ye Xiaotian's gaze was too creepy.
It was like a big bad wolf that had been starving for many days finally seeing its favorite little white rabbit.
"You can wear it, but you can't touch me, not even once, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaotian immediately became dissatisfied.
"Huh? If I don't touch you, how can my sister believe you're my girlfriend? Let me tell you, my sister is very smart, her brain is completely different from mine, even though we're siblings."
"Besides, I don't want to do anything else, can't I even hold your hand or hug you?"
They're best buddies, can't they even hold hands or hug?
Su Luo was so angry she almost fainted, and said angrily.
"No way! If you can't do it, I won't go, and I don't want the money!"
We can't let our brothers take advantage of us just because of 5,000 yuan.
What if his brother really has designs on him? That would be a real problem. He doesn't want to lose his best friend!
"Look at you, why are you getting so worked up again? If you don't want to touch it, then don't. It's not about money anymore, you understand?"
“If you don’t go, my sister will find out I lied to her, and I’m doomed.”
At first, he thought it was due to bloodline suppression, so he was fearless except for his sister Ye Xiaoman.
But later, on his way home from school, he saw his older sister, wearing a leather jacket, washed jeans, and high boots, calmly watching her younger brothers teach a lesson to the school bully.
They beat that school bully so badly that he was lying on the ground covered in blood; he looked terrible.
Only then did he realize that his fear of his sister was not due to bloodline suppression.
It was a natural reaction, after all, there was no one in their school who wasn't afraid of her. The only school bully who wasn't afraid of her was being trampled underfoot by her and was being called "big sister" right now.
Su Luo asked, puzzled.
Why are you so afraid of your sister?
He has no siblings, so naturally he wouldn't understand Ye Xiaotian's feelings.
