Chapter Twenty-Five: High School Vacation Mom Visits
The summer vacation of high school is finally coming, in these days, Chen Xijie has thought of many ways to get close to Shen Xia, and in the end she still chose to keep her distance, he guessed that she was probably a little sad in her heart, after all, this kind of thing happened to her, but no matter what she did to him, he understood, and he never gave up, he felt that one day, he would definitely be able to recall the previous Shen Xia who could chat and talk to him. He didn't know why, he became obsessed, and once Third Brother Shen asked him with a smile if he liked his fourth sister? He blushed and panicked, nodded and shook his head, he didn't know it himself, nodding because he felt that he should have liked it before, shaking his head because it felt like some sympathy now, right? He restrained himself from such thoughts, but he still couldn't help but think about her. That day, Shen Sange also unexpectedly said some inexplicable words, he said that if he liked his fourth sister, he would definitely be hurt, because she was a sharp hedgehog, and he wanted to get her heart unless he softened her thorns. Chen Xijie heard this sentence a little as if he didn't understand.
Everything seemed to be back to square one, the crowds of people coming and going, the high school life at three o'clock, he could only look at her from afar, watch her lonely back, watch her walk through the classroom and through the dining hall alone. And his classmates still like to call him "Straw Bale Chen", and they can still hear others chewing their tongues and saying that Xiao Xia is "Shen Ghost". The few people in the dormitory still occasionally tease him, and he didn't bother to resist, Zhao Xiaoluo was still chattering in his ear, if anyone bullied him, she still beat people to the ground, and everything was running over and over again.
As soon as they arrived at the college on vacation, everyone was like a bird released from a birdcage, and they all flew back to their respective forests in groups of three or five, and the students all had a heartfelt smile on their faces, Shen Xia looked at the classmates who passed by, and her mood was a little complicated, the first year of high school was over, and she was one step closer to the university, but the third brother was also one step away from the pressure. She remembered some days before the summer vacation, the woman she called "mother" came to her once, this was the first time she came to the school to see her since she was in high school, she did have a very bright life, at least younger and more beautiful than when she was in the Shen family compound, and the classmates around her were envious that she had such a fashionable and beautiful mother, only Chen Xijie stood at the back and looked at the mother and daughter silently.
"I didn't expect Shen Ghost's mother to be so young and beautiful!"
"yes, looking at her mother's dress, their family should be very rich, right?"
"With such a good mother, why does Shen Xia still live like a ghost? It's unpredictable. ”
"We don't have to guess about other people's family affairs!"
"Shhh......h
Shu Xiaoxiang listened to the whispers of the classmates around her daughter, her face turned blue and purple for a while, she never knew that her daughter was like this at school, and she was called "Shen Ghost" by her classmates?! Although she used to be in the Shen family, she was called "Broom Star" by the old woman in the family, but this is a place hundreds of miles away from the Shen family, how could they call their daughter a "ghost"? So she glared at them, and the people around her quickly dispersed. Since she left the Shen family, there is no pressure, and she naturally lives a relaxed life, but today she suddenly wanted to surprise her daughter, but she didn't expect to hear some rumors about her daughter at school, she was anxious for her, but she refused to call her "Mom", which made her feel a little lost, and wanted to take her out to eat, but she also coldly refused.
"Why don't you even want to shout 'Mom'? Is it so difficult to have a meal with me? Shu Xiaoxiang looked at Shen Xia, she suddenly found that the time she spent with her daughter was really too little and too little, and she seemed to ignore her feelings, her growth, and everything about her from childhood to adulthood. She felt a little guilty in her heart, but she was expecting that she would call her.
"You don't deserve it." Shen Xia dropped these three words and turned around and left in the crowd of her classmates, she had long lost her enthusiasm for this title, and she had no trace of warmth, how could she be open?
"Xiao Xia ......" Shu Xiaoxiang looked at her departing back, and couldn't say what she felt in her heart, this daughter's temper was very stubborn, what she didn't want to do, no one could beat her, she could only let her go, she should laugh if she could come to see herself, right? She turned around and left the school heavily, just helped her pay the fees for the second year of high school before leaving, and left the principal's phone number, asking him to pay attention to the fact that if the school has any fees to pay, she must notify her to pay, she knows that everything about her daughter over the years is her son is worrying, although he is only a few years older than her, but he has supported her everything early, now that she thinks about it, she is indeed ashamed of him, she has never treated him well since she was a child, and she doesn't know how much he has suffered outside. She also did this to make the son who refused to see her stop working so hard and relieve him of a little burden, he would rather rent a house outside than go home, which shows how much he resents the Shen family from the bottom of his heart, and resents them as parents. After all this, her heart seemed to relax a little, and she realized that for the first time in so many years, she was paying attention to the affairs of her children. Alas, her children eventually stayed away from her, and perhaps she owed them.
Shen Xia returned to her seat, the classroom on Sunday was empty, just when she could review her homework quietly, she couldn't help but look out the window, she could see the back of the woman, a little lonely, probably disappointed, right? Her daughter refused to call her, but didn't she bring it all on?
"Shen Xia, do you hate your mother so much?" Chen Xijie didn't know where he came out, standing in front of her desk, and he didn't know where he got the courage, his eyes looked straight at her, and she couldn't escape it.
"It's none of your business." Shen Xia's voice was very small and cold, making people feel like they couldn't touch the bottom, but Chen Xijie was happy, she finally talked to him, although her voice was very cold, but he felt that it was much better than her turning a blind eye to him.
"I know it's okay with me, it's just that when I see your mother, she seems to be expecting you to call her Mom, maybe a lot of unpleasant things have happened to you, but she's still your mother, isn't she? If you really don't care at all, you won't be looking out the window all the time. Chen Xijie was bold enough to say a few more words, he was watching her reaction, but unfortunately she still didn't have any expression. Shen Xia didn't say another word, he just stood at her desk and watched her all afternoon.
I don't know how long it took, the figure outside the window disappeared completely, Shen Xia came back to her senses, looked at Chen Xijie, and found that he was also looking at herself, she knew that her classmates said that the big boy in front of her was very cowardly, and they all called him straw bale, but his mind was very delicate. She couldn't help but pull the bag on her back and prepare to go back to the third brother, no longer paying attention to him, she decided to take advantage of the summer vacation to go out to find a summer job, she was about to go to college, he couldn't let the third brother bear all the pressure alone, the third brother said that when she was in the summer vacation, she would help her sign up for a tour group to let her relax, and said that her girls should go around to play, but how could she be willing to increase the burden of the third brother.
