In the early morning, the sun shines through the window, reflecting the cream-colored sofa, the breeze blows, the wind rolls the curtains, and a wind chime makes a pleasant sound, awakening my sleepiness. Huh? Isn't this the wind chime of my brother Ziheng? How could there be the same wind chime overnight? Just when I was wondering, the door creaked open.

"Chen Xiao, look, who's coming?" Yang Wei looked tired, but he was still neatly dressed, and his hair was not messy.

"Sister, sister!"

"Ziheng, am I dreaming?"

Ziheng was wearing a red and white sportswear with a golden water gun hanging on his chest. He threw himself at me, whining and crying, "Dad has gone to the south to work!

"Hengbao, go outside to play with the nurse's sister, in a while, my sister will take you to eat pizza, and then cut Hanbao's handsome hairstyle, okay?" I stroked Ziheng's hair, which was already up to my ears, and looked like a little girl. His face was thin and thin, and he must have suffered a lot.

"What's going on?" I turned my gaze to Yang Wei, who had been silent.

"When you were unconscious, you had a missed call from the police on your phone. Your stepfather was sentenced to 10 years for smuggling tobacco worth $700,000. Please forgive me for not saying hello to you, he was alone at home when I went to look for this child. I took it upon myself to take the child over. Hey, a smart child, but also a poor child. ”

"Thank you! But I'm going to ask him for money, and if Ziheng goes to school in this city, the cost will be very high. I have to work, and I may have to find an aunt to take care of him. ”

"I can help you. When I picked him up, it was because he liked you very much and wanted you to be alone and have relatives. As for asking for money, your stepfather took the risk because of gambling, and he owes money to others!"

My eyes flashed with tears, Ziheng is a person who is even more miserable than me, Ziheng is about to enter the first grade, if he buys a house, the tuition fee will be reduced, but the mortgage plus living expenses are really difficult according to the current salary. If I don't buy a house, the cost of a child from a different place going to school in a big city will also be jaw-dropping.

"Don't think too much about it, let's settle the children first, and then think about going to school! If you're really embarrassed, I can help you contact the orphanage." ”

"No, I want to take Ziheng with me, no matter how difficult it is!"

I checked the bank card that my mother left me before the accident, and my mother deposited 20,000 yuan in my name, so let's find a school for my child to sign up for first!

Ziheng obediently poked his head out of the crack in the door, I smiled and waved at him, he flew to my side like a little swallow, "Sister, I miss you every day, if only Dad never came back! In addition to drinking, he is gambling money! Or beating me, and Mom!"

I touched his little hand and gently rolled up his sleeve, and I could still see the bruise on his arm.

"Dad may not be in good spirits, we have to forgive him, okay?

"No, I have to learn to take care of myself, I have to learn to take care of my sister! I have to learn to take the doctoral exam like my sister. ”

I held Ziheng in my arms, I didn't want her to see me crying. He lay in my arms like a docile kitten, he fell asleep, obediently slept in my arms, and I kept a position for fear that he would wake up and disturb his sweet dreams.

At the dinner table, the pizza has not yet come up, and Han Dong and I often patronize FM fashion Western food when we are in school.

Ziheng played with a little girl next to him. I called the waiter and asked for a milkshake. Although the weather is already cool, I don't know why I have been restless, maybe the coolness of the milkshake can eliminate my irritability.

"Where are you? Chen Xiao! I've come back from training in Hong Kong. Now that I've gotten off the plane, I'm eager to see you!" I opened WeChat, and Yang Ming sent me WeChat two minutes ago.

"I'm at FM Pizzeria, not far from the airport, I'm going to treat you to pizza!" I texted back and immediately went into the bathroom, where I straightened my unkempt hair and put on some lipstick.

"Sister, is Brother Han Dong coming?"

"No, it's a good friend of mine!"

"Oh, then why do you wear lipstick? In the past, you only wore lipstick when you were with Brother Han Dong. Ziheng continued to fiddle with his toys. And I thought: yes! I've never liked to dress up, why do I wear lipstick? Maybe it's influenced by Man!

"Oh! I haven't seen you for so many days, Chen Xiao, why are you haggard!" Yang Ming deserved to be a policeman, and he found me in about ten minutes. He held a bouquet of flowers in his hand and placed it in my arms.

"Thank you, did it go well in Hong Kong?"

"It's very smooth, I got the international rescue instructor certificate, and I may often participate in domestic and foreign rescues in the future! The examiner is the examiner, you know? Crossing the exam, I have to swim from the right bank of the rapids to the left bank, but my physical strength has been overdrawn, I don't have the strength to dock, I just want to make sure posture, along the current downstream, at this time, the instructor drove the boat over, I thought he was going to help me, he didn't come, and I looked up a huge wave rushed towards me!"

"You went to the Dragon Palace as a guest?" I felt Yang Ming's spirit of not admitting defeat, and this spirit deeply touched me.

"Haha! No, it's not Ryugu, I thought of you, it was you who encouraged me to swim over. This certificate has half of yours. ”

"Haha, then you should invite this Western meal?"

He patted Ziheng beside me and said, "Take care of the children to eat enough today!"

"By the way, this is my younger brother, Ziheng!"

Yang Ming touched Ziheng's little face and said, "Look, this skeleton can be a policeman in the future." ”

We chatted happily. The happiness made me forget for a moment the unhappiness that had happened in the past few days, and the pain in my right abdomen was still there.

"Chen Xiao!" I turned around, Han Dong stood upright in front of me, his face was crimson, and he drank again, full of wine.

His presence surprised me.

"I knew I was going to run into you, and I would have lunch here every day. By the way, are your injuries healed? When I went to the hospital to look for you again, the nurse said that you were discharged, and no one answered the phone, and Duman didn't answer my phone, and I knew you were avoiding me again. You have to trust me and give me time. "Han Dong was almost pleading, his body was also leaning towards me, he was drunk.

I subconsciously avoided him, and I didn't think about it, but he leaned on my body and pressed my wound, and I made a few painful ** sounds.

Yang Ming picked Han Dong up and pushed him aside. Seeing Yang Ming move, Han Dong suddenly exerted all his strength, picked up his fist and smashed it towards Yang Ming! Yang Ming completely slammed Han Dong to the ground!

"What are you, rob Chen Xiao with me! Chen Xiao is mine, it's mine! It's always mine!" Han Dong's face was full of blue muscles, he stood up and pounced on Yang Ming again!

Ziheng hugged me and cried, "You have to fight, go to the kitchen and get a knife! Don't frighten the child!"

Yang Ming and Han Dong were silenced by my shouting.

I pulled Ziheng up to leave, Yang Ming followed behind me, not daring to make a sound! Han Dong sat on the ground with his head drooped, my heart was aching, but I hated iron even more, I had to drink all day long, my body was full of alcohol, and everyone was going to be wasted, his eyes were dull, the muscles on his body were slack, and his body was seriously overdrawn.

"Didn't you go to the Maldives?" I asked, I calmed down and looked back, I didn't dare look at his face, one of his shoelaces was loose.

"How could I go to the Maldives with that woman, I want to go to the Maldives with Chen Xiao!"

I pulled Ziheng up, and this time I never looked back.

I heard Han Dong smirk and pound the table!

"Chen Xiao, don't worry, I'll send him back!"

Yang Ming is an open-minded man, and I am grateful to him!
