"Xiao Nuan, thank you."
After she whispered, she got up and went to the bathroom to wash off the smell of alcohol.
After washing, she stood at the door of her room but did not turn on the light.
She looked at the dark, stuffy and smelly room and slowly exhaled.
The first step to getting better is to start with room renovation.
She reached for the light button and prepared herself to press it.
The next second, the dim room suddenly became bright.
Su Manxing squinted his eyes somewhat uncomfortably, seeing that there was no sign of life in the house, and walked silently towards the window.
I pulled open the curtains and opened the window to ventilate.
After standing by the window and enjoying the cold air for a while, she rubbed her stinging forehead and began to pick up the wine bottles on the ground.
Because she was worried about disturbing others, she changed the quilt cover after doing all this and lay down on the bed to rest.
She looked at the pitch-black floor, which was only illuminated by a ray of moonlight, hugged her knees and leaned against her thighs, staring silently.
From time to time, her parents' voices would appear in her mind, sometimes comforting her, sometimes scolding her.
Su Manxing pinched her wrist tightly and remained motionless.
At this moment she wanted to drink, she wanted something to numb her brain.
But she had promised Xiao Nuan that she would not drink anymore.
"It's okay, it's okay, I can be Xiao Nuan's support."
"Mom and Dad, I will be Xiao Nuan's support. Please stop blaming me..."
In fear, she suddenly remembered Tiantai Ji Yao's words.
“Only when people move forward can suffering retreat.”
"You can be Xiao Nuan's support, you can take care of her, and you can choose not to cause her any trouble. You know that your parents love you, and Xiao Nuan loves you too."
"Manxing, you can do better."
Yes, she could do better, she could not make her life so messy.
Gradually, the pale-faced parents in front of me turned into the gentle and smiling ones in my memory.
The fear is disappearing from my heart.
Finally, she fell asleep, muttering 'I can do it...'
The next day.
She got up early in the morning.
She looked at her haggard self in the mirror and washed herself several times with clean water.
She looked at her still red and swollen eyes, patted her cheeks, tied her hair into a low bun, put a hot towel on it and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
As a result, when she looked at the kitchen utensils, she found out with embarrassment that she didn't know how to use them.
In the past, it was Su's mother who cooked, but later it became Su Nuanyang who cooked.
"Xiao Nuan."
She thought of her twelve-year-old sister who had already learned to cook for her.
For the first time, I clearly felt my own selfishness.
Finally, I used half a pumpkin in the refrigerator to cook a bowl of pumpkin porridge in the rice cooker.
Then she went to Su Nuanyang's room.
Su Nuanyang, with her eyes closed and cheeks slightly flushed, walked quickly to the bedside nervously and touched Su Nuanyang's forehead.
I found that my body temperature was a little hot.
"Sister~"
Su Nuanyang felt Su Manxing's touch, opened his eyes drowsily and tried to sit up.
"Xiao Nuan, lie down obediently, you have a fever."
Su Manxing held Su Nuanyang down and gave him careful instructions.
"Don't worry, I'll call the teacher later. Just stay at home and relax today."
"Yeah, sis."
Su Nuanyang looked at Su Manxing, whose hair was finally no longer messy. She was lying obediently on the bed, staring at her sister's exposed facial features.
Her sister hadn't smiled at her for a long time.
Su Manxing went out and got a cold towel to cover Su Nuanyang's head.
"Xiao Nuan, sleep a little longer. Sister will call you for dinner later."
After she saw Zhang Su Nuanyang close his eyes, she immediately went downstairs to a nearby pharmacy to buy a few boxes of cold medicine.
When she got home, she fed Su Nuanyang pumpkin porridge and medicine, and waited until Su Nuanyang fell asleep again before she left the house.
I walked to the next door, room 202, and wanted to raise my hand to knock on the door, but seeing that my hands were empty, I went downstairs to the nearby fruit shop to buy some fruit.
Standing at the door of 202 again, she took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
Su Manxing waited at the door for a few minutes before suddenly reacting.
Today is a weekday, and the disciplinarian may be at work.
Just as I was about to go back, the door suddenly opened.
"Miss Su, what's the matter?"
Ji Yao was still wearing her home clothes. She looked at Su Manxing, who looked refreshed, and asked in confusion.
"Mr. Ji, I came to thank you for your guidance yesterday."
"I hope you will accept this small token of my appreciation."
"I didn't do anything small. I still have to rely on myself for this."
Ji Yao looked at the fruit handed to him, but didn't refuse and reached out to take it.
"I will accept this fruit without hesitation."
"That Mr. Ji..."
Su Manxing looked at Ji Yao who was about to close the door and spoke hurriedly.
She slowly explained to Ji Yao's puzzled look.
"Mr. Ji, can you give me a business card? I remember you said you were a lawyer last time."
Ji Yao was a little surprised to hear this. He thought that Su Manxing took advantage of the hot pot that day to be in his own world.
"Come in and sit down. I'm working from home today."
He invited.
"That's troublesome."
Su Manxing didn't know whether Ji Yao's words were an excuse, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Soon she sat on the sofa in Ji Yao's house with a cup of hot water.
"Miss Su, if you have any questions, you can ask."
Ji Yao took a notebook and put it on his lap, took a pair of glasses from the table and put them on, then sat down opposite Su Manxing.
"No need for honorifics."
He added, looking at the reserved Su Manxing.
Su Manxing looked at Ji Yao, who guessed her thoughts immediately, and spoke with her head down, holding the cup tightly in her hand.
"Disciplinarian, I want to give 90% of all my property to Su Nuanyang. She can inherit it in full when she comes of age."
