Xu Baodai ran back to her room in one breath, rushed into the bathroom to wipe her mouth with a towel, over and over again, and finally stopped when she felt pain.

Look up and look at yourself in the mirror... His cheeks were crimson, his eyes were moist and clear, he stared slightly, a little annoyed, a little aggrieved, and a little ...... Shy, lips are red, delicate.

"Stinky rascal," Xu Baodai retracted her gaze, hung the towel in her hand together hatefully, and turned around and walked out of the bathroom.

After going back to the bedroom and changing her clothes, she went out of the room with her bag on her back.

As soon as I got out of the room, I met Xu Baoqing who came out of the opposite bedroom, and the other party began to be yin and yang as soon as she saw her, "Why are you dressing up so beautiful early in the morning?"

Xu Baodai lifted her eyelids and ignored her.

Seeing that she ignored her, Xu Baoqing followed, a little angry, "Xu Baodai, are you deaf? I'm talking to you." ”

Xu Baodai still treated her as air and lifted her downstairs.

Xu Baoqing couldn't get used to Xu Baodai's always arrogant appearance, so she was so angry that she pushed her with her hand, "Hey, I'm talking to you, are you dumb?"

Xu Baodai, who was pushed, finally stopped, she turned her head, looked at the half-sister in front of her with cold eyes, and her tone was as light as if she was talking to a stranger, "You push it again?"

Xu Baoqing's eyes widened unconvinced, but she was actually obviously weak, "Hmph, I'm too lazy to take care of you." ”

With that, she bypassed Xu Baodai and trotted downstairs.

After she left, Xu Baodai also went downstairs and walked out around the living room.

In the courtyard of the villa, the driver, Uncle Li, was wiping the car, and when he saw her come out, he stopped what he was doing, and asked respectfully, "Miss, do you want to go out?"

Xu Baodai nodded slightly, "I'll go to the library." ”

"Then I'll send you there. ”

It's just that as soon as the words fell, the door of the villa behind him was pushed open, Tong Shu walked out, glanced at Xu Baodai, and then said to Uncle Li, "Lao Li, you prepare, and send Qingqing to learn flower arrangement in a while." ”

Uncle Li glanced at Xu Baodai who was standing aside in embarrassment, Xu Baodai didn't look at him, and walked out with his feet up.

Since her mother is gone, she is no longer a big lady.

She is Xu Baodai, her father doesn't hurt, her stepmother doesn't love her stepsister, she doesn't like it, and she is alone.

......

After reading a book in the library all morning, after coming out of the library, she didn't want to go home, so she casually ate something outside, and she went back to the library.

It wasn't until the sun went down that she received a call from home.

The call was made by Aunt Zhou, saying that Xu Qingyuan had returned from abroad and asked her to hurry home.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Baodai went to return the book and then left the library.

As soon as she got out of the library, the heat wave on her face made her feel very irritable.

I wanted to take a taxi home, but I walked all the way to the bus stop and waited for the bus to come.

It was the rush hour after work, the bus came again and again, there were too many people, and she didn't bother to squeeze with others, so she waited until it was dark before getting on the bus.

The phone in the bag rang several times, and she didn't bother to answer it.

is nothing more than urging her to hurry home and enjoy the good time of their family reunion.

She really didn't want to go back, but she had to go back.

After all, she is not ready to tear her face with Xu Qingyuan now, only when she graduates from college and has a job to earn her own money, even if it is only enough for herself to eat and live, she will not hesitate to move out.

She will never go back to the 'home' that has existed in her eyes.

When I got home, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

I thought they had all finished eating, but what I didn't expect was that they were still waiting for her.

Xu Baodai walked over expressionlessly, glanced at the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table, and called him lightly, "Dad." ”

Xu Qingyuan looked up at her, swept over her expressionless face, and couldn't help frowning, "Where did you go?"

"Library. ”

"A day in the library?"

Xu Baodai sat down in her position, "Hmm." ”

Xu Qingyuan's brows furrowed even more, "You should do something more meaningful when a girl is on vacation, learn from your sister, learn tea ceremony and flower arrangement, these will be used in the future." ”

Xu Baoqing heard her father praise her, and immediately raised the corners of her lips, "Dad, I guess my sister doesn't bother to learn these things, she is a top student of NTU." ”

"Hmph, I get into books every day, and I'll be a nerd when I leave school in the future, and I won't know anything but the things in the books. ”

Tong Shu listened with his eyebrows stretched, and glanced at Xu Baodai, who lowered his head slightly, and the irony in his eyes grew stronger, "Bao Dai likes to read so much, probably because she inherited Sister Yu, I heard that Sister Yu was a talented girl back then......."

Xu Baodai, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly looked up at Tong Shu, her eyes sharp and cold, "Where did you get the qualifications and confidence to dare to mention my mother's name?"

Tong Shu's face turned red with anger at her words, but when she thought of what happened back then, she didn't dare to refute Xu Baodai head-on, but looked at Xu Qingyuan with a look of grievance, "Qingyuan, look at her......"

But Xu Qingyuan picked up the chopsticks and said impatiently, "As soon as I come back, I will be noisy, and I will be annoyed to death when I hear it, eat!"

He was angry, and Tong Shu could only suppress it even if he was uncomfortable.

could only stare at Xu Baodai secretly, she felt more and more that if this child did not leave this house for a day, she would not want to have a peaceful life for a day.

......

Summer vacation passed quickly.

The day before the start of school, after dinner, Xu Qingyuan specially called Xu Baodai to the study.

The study is the important place of this family, and no one can enter it without Xu Qingyuan's permission, including the maids who clean up.

But Xu Baodai is excepted, but her relationship with Xu Qingyuan has plummeted since her mother's absence, and even if she is allowed to enter his study freely, she is unwilling to enter.

But at this moment, she was sitting on the sofa in the study, and Xu Qingyuan was sitting opposite her, looking at her and not speaking.

Xu Baodai didn't have much patience, so she asked him, "Is there something wrong with you?"

Xu Qingyuan retracted his gaze and nodded, "It's a junior after school starts, what are your plans?"

Xu Baodai didn't understand what he meant, "What are you going to do?"

"Have you ever considered going abroad?"

When Xu Baodai heard this, her face changed slightly, and then she sneered again, "Are you so eager to send me away?"

As soon as she heard that she had misunderstood herself, Xu Qingyuan immediately explained, "Xiaobao, you misunderstood, Dad didn't mean that, Dad meant that if you want to go abroad, Dad will support you." ”

"I don't want to go abroad!" Xu Baodai replied to him without hesitation, "I never thought of going abroad, you better dispel this idea as soon as possible." ”

"Bao Dai, I repeat again, Dad didn't mean to send you away......"

"I know," Xu Baodai interrupted him in a faint voice, "but don't worry, I will graduate in two years, and I will move out of my house as soon as I graduate." ”

"Xu Baodai," Xu Qingyuan was so angry by her words that he almost slapped the table, he forcibly endured the anger of being wronged, and his voice couldn't help but be a little loud, "I know you have an opinion about me, blame me for marrying Tong Shu, but it's been so many years, why can't you forgive your father?"

Xu Baodai's eyes flushed slightly, "I can't forgive you, let alone Tong Shu, because it was you two who killed my mother, if I forgive you, I will be sorry for my mother." ”

"I ......" Thinking of the events of that year, Xu Qingyuan looked regretful and annoyed, "It's me who is sorry for your mother." ”

Xu Baodai had a sneer on the corner of her lips, "If you really want to repent, go to my mother's tombstone to confess, I don't want to hear you say this in front of me." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this," Xu Qingyuan raised his hand and wiped it on his face, then raised his eyes to look at Xu Baodai, and lowered his voice, "Baodai, believe me, in Dad's heart, you are more important than anything else......"

Xu Baodai didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so she immediately got up from the sofa and raised her feet to go out.

Xu Qingyuan saw that she was leaving, so he hurriedly stopped her, "Bao Dai, if you don't want to go abroad, do you want to consider going to graduate school? Dad knows a .......?"

"No, thank you. ”

Xu Baodai didn't stop, and walked out of the study directly.

As soon as I got out of the study door, I saw Xu Baoqing standing at the top of the stairs, and the other party seemed to be waiting for her.

Xu Baodai didn't want to deal with her, and wanted to bypass her and go upstairs.

But Xu Baoqing didn't intend to let her go, she raised her hand to stop her, and asked her with a stinky face, "What did Dad tell you to do?"

Xu Baodai glanced at her, didn't speak, raised her hand to push her arm away, and raised her feet to go upstairs.

Xu Baoqing, who was pushed away, was a little angry, she grabbed Xu Baodai, who was about to go upstairs, and shouted angrily, "Xu Baodai, you dare to push me!"

She screamed and attracted Tong Shu in the living room, looking at the two of them who were pulling, she frowned, "What's the matter?"

Xu Baoqing glared at Xu Baodai and let go of the hand that was holding her arm, "She pushed me!"

"Bao Dai," Tong Shu looked at Xu Bao Dai's eyes with a little disapproval, "You are your sister, you should love your sister, how can you push your sister." ”

Xu Baodai turned her head, looked at Tong Shu who was standing below, and hooked her lips coldly, "My mother only gave birth to me, and I don't have a sister." ”

Tong Shu's face turned pale, "You ......."

"Mom," Xu Baoqing shouted angrily, "Look at how arrogant she is, she didn't take you seriously at all, if you don't teach her a hard lesson today, she doesn't know what her surname is." ”

Tong Shu really wanted to teach Xu Baodai a lesson, but now was not a good time.

Xu Qingyuan is at home, she will not expose her bad side in front of him.

Although his face turned blue with anger, he just glared at Xu Baodai fiercely, endured all the unhappiness in his heart, reached out and pulled Xu Baoqing to his side, and lowered his voice, "What are you messing with her when your dad is at home." ”

"I didn't make a fuss, I just talked to her, and she ignored her. ”

Tong Shu pulled her to the living room, and the voice came intermittently, "You know that she is like that, what do you care about .......her?"

The voices of the mother and daughter gradually drifted away, Xu Baodai turned around, hooked her lips coldly, and raised her feet upstairs.

......

Early the next morning, Xu Baodai went back to school.

There are four people in the dormitory, she is local, and the other three are from other places.

The three of them all arrived yesterday, Xu Baodai was the latest, and after the four of them gathered, they went out to eat and drink.

There is a kebab restaurant near the school which tastes good.

Although I didn't go late, the school started in the past two days, and there were no formal classes, there were many students who came out to play, and the restaurant was full, and there was no place.

Huang Li went in and searched for a place but couldn't find a place, so she came over and said to the other three, "There is no place, let's go to another place?"

The other three nodded, turned around and were about to go out, when three boys came in through the door.

One of them knew Li Qian, and the two greeted each other, and everyone stopped.

After greeting each other, Li Qian introduced them, "This is my fellow countryman Wu Tong, and we are still in junior high school." ”

Wu Tong was a little dark, tall and strong, and when he smiled, he showed two rows of big white teeth, "Hello beauties." ”

Huang Li smiled and teased Li Qian, "Why haven't I heard you say that you have fellow countrymen here?"

Li Qian blushed and didn't say anything, but Wu Tong explained generously, "I haven't been in touch with Li Qian since I graduated from junior high school, and I didn't know that she was also in Beicheng until I met her last time I went home." ”

"Oh so. ”

Gu Shiyu on the side glanced at Xu Baodai, and then asked Li Qian, "You are also eating here?"

Li Qian, "We're late, there's no place in it, and we're about to change places." ”

When Wu Tong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Don't change it, we have set a place in the private room upstairs, let's go together?" ”

"I have no opinion," Li Qian looked at Huang Li, "What about you?"

Huang Li has a generous and cheerful personality, "Of course I'm fine," and then looked at Xu Baodai and Hong Yingying, "What about the two of you?"

Hong Yingying also had no opinion, and in the end, only Xu Baodai was left.

Everyone looked at her and waited for her opinion.

Xu Baodai's eyes glanced at Lin Erbai, who was standing beside Gu Shiyu, and the other party had his hands in his pants pockets at the moment, slightly hooking the corners of his lips and looking at her with a smile*.

Looking at her eyes, it seemed that she was sure that she would not dare to stay.

Xu Baodai secretly gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and then nodded, "Okay." ”
