In the evening, the sun sets in the west, and the warm yellow light is entangled and refracted through the slightly opened curtains.

The girl's room is very simple and elegant, with a large bed with European patterns, a small beige sofa with a small round table, a large bay window covered with rabbit down, and a separate cloakroom.

Xu Li leaned a little lazily on the edge of the bed, hanging his head and flipping the pages.

The already fair skin, in the light, looks like a fine silk brocade.

The well-behaved eyebrows and eyes are delicate and gentle outlined by the light, and the fine fluff adds a bit of cuteness.

Since the last time I went out, I saw that familiar and unfamiliar figure across the street, but I couldn't remember where I saw it, and I haven't been in a good mood.

I haven't been out again in the past few days.

It's all brought back by Duan Qiaoqiao at night, and then eats a little casually.

Xu Li put down the book and touched his phone.

18：00

Sister Qiaoqiao is coming back.

Thinking about it, he habitually opened the bedside table, reached in and touched it.

When I touched it, the cigarette case was empty.

But during this time, is it because school is about to start?

After all, I haven't been to school for a year.

I smoke more than twice as often as usual.

The cigarettes that Mo Xiaoyu just sent back to her from South Korea some time ago are gone now.

But she is still a little picky, she is not used to smoking ordinary cigarettes, and she only likes this red wine popping beads of peel.

Xu Li snorted a little irritably.

Duan Qiaoqiao knew that she smoked, but Xu Li never smoked in front of Duan Qiaoqiao, for fear that Duan Qiaoqiao would worry about her.

Two years ago, before his father Xu Songche had an accident, Xu Li was the second lady of the Xu family, and she was afraid of falling off in the palm of her hand, and she was afraid of melting in her mouth.

But as soon as something happened, she couldn't go out of the house, but she also tasted the warmth and coldness of people, and they all felt that she was a broom star and a mournful goods.

When he came out of Xu's house, Xu Li followed Duan Qiaoqiao.

Duan Qiaoqiao is Uncle Xu Li, the adopted daughter of Xu Songjiang.

At the beginning, I thought that Xu Songjiang and his wife would not be able to give birth, so Duan Qiaoqiao, who was adopted, did not expect an unexpected accident.

In the third year of adopting Duan Qiaoqiao, Tan Yun gave birth to a chubby son for the Xu family.

Almost as expected, Duan Qiaoqiao became an outcast.

Duan Qiao's ingenuity is also high.

As soon as he became an adult, he came out of the Xu family, threw a sentence that the money to support himself would definitely be repaid, and he drew the line clearly and left.

Before Duan Qiaoqiao came out, she was always called the eldest lady of the Xu family, which is why Xu Li was the second lady.

Duan Qiaoqiao, who was originally a child in an orphanage, knew how difficult it would be to be without parents, and couldn't see Xu Li suffering, so he made a decision and left Xu's house with Xu Li and moved to Jiangcheng.

Xu Li frowned, and his memories came to an abrupt end.

A phone call was made.

It was a somewhat cold female voice over there.

"Xiaoyu, I'm out of cigarettes, send me two more."

"What?!" The female voice on the other end of the line suddenly raised her voice.

"You eat cigarettes for dinner?! I sent you 5 last time, and it's only been a few days?! You don't have to be annoyed like this. ”

"Not that exaggerated, right? It's been a few months too. ”

Xu Li responded.

"Alas, Paris, you've really smoked more than twice as many times as before."

Paris is Xu Li's nickname, and people close to him call it that.

The voice on the other side suddenly softened again.

"Don't smoke so much, when you're going to do something, I'll go back home... Don't toss yourself like that... Uncle Xu won't feel good in heaven..."

After saying this, Mo Xiaoyu paused obviously.

Mo Xiaoyu, who was far away in South Korea, couldn't help but want to slap himself twice.

Knowing that Xu Li couldn't hear this thing the most, he just mentioned it there, which pot he really didn't open and mention.

Xu Li listened here, and was also stunned, but he didn't have any other reactions.

It's just that his tone is a little lighter, and he diverts the words: "When you need you, you can't run away, I will definitely contact you, send me the cigarettes, I know it." ”

After that, he hummed twice from his nose, indicating that he was in a good mood.

Mo Xiaoyu suddenly relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there was no overreaction.

also adjusted his tone, with a smile: "Got it, ancestor, I will go to the soup and fire, and I will send you the cigarettes." ”

There was another conversation for a while.

The sound of Duan Qiaoqiao opening the door sounded, and he hung up the phone.

Xu Lijiao pulled his slippers and went out of the room.

Duan Qiaoqiao has some savings, and in order for Xu Li to study, he bought a small duplex in Qi Shihua City, which is very chic, usually very quiet, and the privacy is also very high.

It is mainly close to Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Xu Li doesn't have to go too far to school, and his safety is guaranteed.

Xu Li leaned against the corner of the stairs with a smile.

"Sister Qiaoqiao." Xu Li shouted.

Duan Qiaoqiao was at the entrance and changed his slippers.

responded: "It's time to eat, I know that you will definitely not be able to eat anything, bring some porridge, don't stand." ”

Xu Li bent his lips slightly, and went downstairs with a kick.

took the porridge in Duan Qiaoqiao's hand, the small one, sat at the dining table, and took a small sip.

It's her favorite house, the shredded chicken porridge in the idle garden.

Just finished eating, put down the bowl.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Duan Qiaoqiao sitting on the sofa in the living room seriously.

At first glance, there is something to explain.

Xu Li also went over and sat down on the sofa.

"Paris."

As soon as Duan Qiaoqiao called her like this, she knew that Sister Qiaoqiao should nag again.

is obviously only 23 years old, and the nagging is endless.

However, Xu Li is also very happy to listen to Duan Qiaoqiao's nagging, nagging back and forth, quite a homely atmosphere.

"School will start tomorrow, and it's not Huaxu who is going, if you don't feel right, call me, you know?"

"Moreover, halfway..." Before he finished speaking, Duan Qiaoqiao changed his tone.

"After all, I haven't been to school for a year, and it's still a senior year of high school, if you can't keep up, Sister Qiaoqiao will find a way to let you go to the second year of high school, it's a big deal to study for one more year, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Xu Li smiled: "Got it, Sister Qiaoqiao." ”

"Since I chose to go directly to the third year of high school, then I have absolutely no problem."

Xu Li's grades have always been among the best, and Duan Qiaoqiao is indeed not worried.

It's just that Duan Qiaoqiao knows that after a year, Xu Li chose to study directly in the third year of high school for a reason, and she has her own ideas.

It's just that she was afraid that this idea would bring danger to Xu Li.

Xu Li's firm attitude this time also surprised Duan Qiaoqiao, and his heart was slightly determined.

He got up from the couch and waved his hand.

"Anyway, I'll take a shower. You go to bed early, too! ”

Xu Li knew that Duan Qiaoqiao's attitude was going to believe her and let her do it.

*

Early the next morning

Xu Li went out early and walked slowly on the road, the schoolbag he was originally carrying on his shoulders was loose and hanging on his slender shoulders.

Suddenly, stand still.

She looked from afar, as if she were somewhere in the sky.

High-rise buildings are towering, neon lights are flashing, and the big red letters are dazzling--- Xu's International.

She seemed to have been holding back a smile for a long time, and as if she couldn't help it, she snorted lightly.

I wanted to touch the cigarette, but I stretched out my hand and touched the air.

There was something empty in my heart, as if I had been dug up.

A good Xu International, a good wealthy fight, good scheming, good planning.

If the death of my parents hadn't been investigated, I am afraid that I would not have found so many dirty things.

It's ridiculous.

"One day, I'll definitely come back there with a smile on my face."

Blood debt and blood repayment.

A well-behaved smile and a weak personality are just protective layers, so it's easier for such a face to do whatever you do.

In the two years after her parents' accident, she saw the ugliness of the family.

The little white hand that looked like it was weak and boneless clenched slightly, clenched tightly, and the originally ruddy bone joints were clenched white.

Before she knew it, she had slowly swayed to the gate of the new school.
