CHAPTER XXII
Xun Huan hurriedly walked home, for fear that Wang Ding's father would catch up from behind. She was afraid to be alone with these adults, and she was both scared and panicked.
What are you afraid of, in fact, Xun Huan doesn't know.
Wang Ding was like a light in her heart, illuminating her once gloomy fill-in-the-blank. She wanted to seize the light and not let others destroy it. She also wants to keep this light hidden in her heart and not let others see it.
Finally arrived at the gate of the community, Xun Huan hurriedly flashed in.
"You are Xun Huan!" An aunt asked, standing in the doorway. She was very delicate, her whole body was wrapped in decent clothes, and her wavy curls were just right on her head. The face is a little round, crystal clear white.
Xun Huan's heart thumped suddenly, and his heart moved violently. This white skin is not much different from Wang Ding. "Could it be that she is Wang Ding's mother?" Xun Huan thought to herself, she stood there cramped and uneasy, her head lowered.
Xun Huan stood without speaking, and did not dare to look at her.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Xun Huan." Auntie continued to ask.
Xun Huan nodded stupidly.
Do you know Wang Ding?
Know!
How long have you known each other?
Not for long?
You are all in different classes, when did you meet? How did you meet?
I don't remember.
How can you not remember? What is the main thing? Learning things?
Not exactly.
So what's the matter?
Avengers!
Did you join the Avengers?
No.
What does that have to do with you?
I was listed as a protected object by the Avengers.
The aunt glanced at Xun Huan in disbelief, and after a circle around her, she said: Unlikely, you are so tall and still need to be protected?
is protected from verbal violence. Xun Huan corrected.
Verbal violence?
Yes.
Have you been verbally violent?
yes.
Can you fight back in person?
I don't dare.
Why don't you dare?
Because I'm afraid.
Afraid of what?
Fear of retaliation!
She verbally violently assaulted you, you fought back, just in defense, what are you afraid of?!
I'm just scared. After Xun Huan said this, he felt even more scared and pressed his head lower.
Aren't you afraid of Wang Ding?
Unafraid.
Why?
He was nice, he protected me and reasoned with me.
Do you know why he treats you well?
No...... No...... Know.
Do you know or don't know?
Xun Huan didn't speak.
He pitied you, you know?
After Xun Huan heard this, he felt very uncomfortable. She actually knew that Wang Ding was good to her and had pitiful feelings in it, but it was still difficult for her to accept it when she said it so nakedly.
Xun Huan wanted to turn around and leave, but the aunt didn't seem to have any intention of letting her leave.
She continued: How long have you been together?
Not...... Not...... How long, this issue just met.
Just met and planted flowers for you, gave you Winnie the Pooh, and let you enter the finals of the Principal's Cup?
No...... No...... Xun Huan was so surprised, he didn't know what to say, he stammered, and he panicked.
Do you know Gardenia's words?
I don't know.
Eternal love! You don't know?
Xun Huan was silent.
I just want to ask you, I'm not saying that you are in early love, I just want to ask you what stage of development you have reached.
Xun Huan raised his head violently: Auntie, it doesn't matter if you wronged me, you really don't want to wronged Wang Ding. He's a good guy. In our eyes, the flower language of gardenia represents strength.
You can really quibble, tell you that no matter what the flower language of gardenia represents, in this life, you will never be a member of our family, you know?
Ha! Xun Huan's eyes widened in surprise. She wasn't sure she thought that far, she really never thought about it. However, this sentence rushed out of her mouth, and Xun Huan still felt very uncomfortable after hearing it.
She didn't want to ignore her anymore and prepared to leave.
"Stop!" Auntie ordered. muttered in his mouth: It's really a dragon giving birth to a dragon, a phoenix giving birth to a phoenix, and a mouse giving birth to a cub and burrowing in the ground. What kind of family will cultivate what kind of goods. At such a young age, you know how to seduce men, and you can grow up.
Xun Huan stopped instantly, with tears in her eyes, she said word by word: I didn't seduce a man, I didn't, I was innocent.
Innocent? Auntie sneered: How innocent you are, I'm afraid you don't know whether it's white or not. Explain the matter of the watch to me.
Xun Huan was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
You are so young, you know how to use men to get what you want, what to do when you grow up?
Xun Huan's nails pressed hard into the flesh.
Still looking at me?! What's wrong with you in such elementary school, and still learn to use men?
Xun Huan looked at her fiercely with her eyes, if she wasn't Wang Ding's mother, it is estimated that she would have walked over and fought with her at this moment.
Watch thing, I hope there is a saying. It was a gift I bought for Wang Ding for thousands of yuan last year, and it was my deep love.
Xun Huan stood there, his mind very confused. The uncle just told himself not to admit it, but, but...... Xun Huan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Seeing that Xun Huan didn't speak. Auntie came over and said slowly: Born as a human being, I advise you to be kind and innocent, and what does not belong to you cannot be taken for what you already have.
Xun Huan's face was flushed with anxiety.
What to do, what to do. Xun Huan was so distressed that he was dying. According to her own character, it is estimated that the watch would have been returned to her a long time ago. But, just that uncle.
The aunt said again: It's okay if you don't take it out, I will go to your parents and find your homeroom teacher.
No! Xun Huan screamed, she was so frightened that she was about to cry.
"I'll give it to you!" Xun Huan whined and cried.
If you don't give it to me sooner, it's over, so why wait until now.
The watch was left at home and I didn't touch it. You come with me to get it.
Auntie didn't say anything more and followed Xun Huan.
At the door of the house, Xun Huan opened the door. The aunt followed Xun Huan closely, and suddenly withdrew in disgust, muttering to herself: How is it a garage, it smells so big.
Xun Huan's ears are sharp, although these words are ugly, but Xun Huan is used to it. She used to want to hide her situation, but now it doesn't matter.
She quickly took the letter away, and handed the box to her aunt.
Wang Ding's mother took the box and turned to leave.
On the way home, she was still a little indignant: this kid didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he secretly went to Beijing without discussing it with us, and talked about such a girl, which was really confused. She shook her head as she spoke.
Xun Huan closed the door and sat there in a daze.
"You really know how to quibble, tell you that no matter what the flower language of gardenia represents, in this life, you will never be a member of our family, you know?"
Recalling this sentence, Xun Huan felt a burst of heartache. This blatant dislike and rejection is like an invisible knife that pierces Xun Huan's heart deeply.
Tears rushed out silently, and he opened the information given by Wang Ding.
Spread them out on the table in earnest. Xun Huan lowered his head and practiced hard.
Winnie the Pooh sat next to her, quietly watching her.
Xun Huan touched Winnie the Pooh with his hand and muttered to him: Momo, brush the questions desperately, perhaps, this is also a way to heal your wounds.
As if he could understand Xun Huan's words, Pooh sat quietly, his black eyes shining with a gentle light.
At about twelve o'clock, Dad returned.
As soon as I entered the house, I was dumbfounded when I saw the lights on and Xun Huan who was still doing his homework.
He asked nervously: Xun Huan, do you have so much homework now?
No, it was done quickly. Xun Huan said perfunctorily.
Now that I'm staying up so late every night, is this going to happen?
I'm going to work hard, Dad, I can't live in this garage for the rest of my life, Dad, don't you say? Xun Huan said coquettishly.
Dad sat on a stool, suddenly silent like a statue.
Xun Huan looked up at him and asked in surprise: Dad, what's wrong with you?
Dad was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: Xun Huan, it's okay to yearn for a better life, but then you have to rely on your true skills, not sell yourself.
What are you talking about? I don't understand.
Dad turned his back and said solemnly: Although we are poor, we must be poor with dignity and backbone, and we cannot accept other people's alms casually, nor can we ask for anything from others. Worms build as big nests as they are, and devices as big as they can be.
I still don't understand? Xun Huan was confused.
Do you want me to say it explicitly? Dad stood up angrily: You kid, who did you learn badly, you know how to cheat, eat, drink, cheat, cheat, cheat, You're going to tell me honestly today, what's going on with gardenias, what's going on with watches? Didn't I buy you a watch? I'm afraid that you will be compared to your classmates, although this watch is not very good, but it is also average. Is someone else's watch just good? Don't be so vain, vanity won't do you any good.
Are you going to hit me again? Xun Huan was also angry and immediately retorted.
It's not a question of whether to fight or not, and you have to be reasonable.
I didn't do anything wrong, so how can I be reasonable.
You're still hard-mouthed! Today, Wang Ding's mother told me, I promised her to teach you a good lesson, why are you so shameless, you took other people's watches, what did you give, accept other people's things casually. Are we beggars like that? I was poor, but I didn't even apply for the subsistence allowance. People should be self-reliant, not deceived everywhere. From today on, you are not allowed to have anything to do with Wang Ding, and you don't look at your family background, and you still want to climb such a friend, you really don't know how thick the sky is.
Xun Huan was also angry: What do you mean, I will accept my fate in the future, graduate from junior high school, and then let you arrange to find someone to marry and have a bunch of children, the big one is called Da Mao, the second one is called Ermao, and the small one is called Sanmao. Then, during the day, he was angry with others outside, and bowed his head. Go home at night and be angry with her husband and children. At the end of the day, my child was bullied at school, just like me, wasn't he?
Dad touched his head and said melancholy: Everyone doesn't live like this, and not everyone is good. How can there be so many wealthy families in the world, Miss Qianjin. Most of them aren't living like ants, which is pretty good.
No! Xun Huan said resolutely: I must not let my children be like me, they should have a better life, not like me, who was born to be the object of ridicule.
Dad sighed: You have a character like you, you have to suffer. Not being able to accept reality is too horrible. Hold yourself up to the world, and it's not you who hurts the most when you fall.
How can you do that? Lift yourself up to heaven in case you succeed in ascending to heaven?
Dad sneered and said vaguely: I'll tell you the truth, I'm getting older and older, and I work very hard, I plan to work for another two years, and when you finish junior high school, you won't go to work on the construction site. Find a security guard again and look at the gate.
Dad, don't you want me to go to high school and college?
Hey, I want to, too, but I really can't do it. The children of poor families will accept their fate. Besides, what's wrong with finding someone to marry early, some people care about someone and someone hurts, women, it's not all about marrying late and early, it's not the same who to marry......
Dad, how do you have such thoughts. Xun Huan immediately interrupted him and didn't let him continue.
Xun Huan, I feel very tired and don't want to talk anymore. I'm going to rest, you go to bed early, don't stay up too long.
Xun Huan nodded, but his heart fell into a bottomless black hole.
When he got up the next day, Xun Huan no longer dared to sneak out to drench the flowers. She had to carry a glass of water from a cup and secretly sprinkle seven drops on the way to school.
I rushed to school with a heavy heart.
Li Yuting stopped her from behind, and she shook her hand proudly in front of Xun Huan's eyes. Xun Huan's heart was broken. Li Yuting wore Wang Ding's watch on her hand.
She said proudly: Wang Ding's mother gave me this watch yesterday, and she said that only people like me are worthy of such a watch. A pair of hands that play the piano and paint are worthy of her, unlike some people, who are born to do rough work, how can they be worthy of such a high-end watch?
Xun Huan couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Wang Ding's mother also said: Some people are not worthy of being friends of his family for a lifetime, hum, for a lifetime. After Li Yuting left, she didn't forget to make a grimace to Xun Huan.
Xun Huan was suffocated with anger. Standing in place, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.
There is an English competition today, but Xun Huan's mood is not good at all.
Wang Ding once told her: Models often go out on the catwalk, and the Victoria's Secret stage is full of different faces from all over the world. Mastering English proficiently is a great skill to not only communicate with your peers without barriers, but also to be able to respond freely to any situation.
Yang Yanni said: Xun Huan, I don't know if today's English competition is difficult or not, I heard that this time it is just a semi-final, just look at the picture and speak, simple composition. If you are in the finals, there will be a difficult proposition essay.
Xun Huanen snorted twice.
Yang Yanni said again: Xun Huan, where did you make up the English, and how is the pronunciation there?
There is no supplementary English. Pronunciation is basically learning to memorize the homophony spoken by the teacher.
So much trouble, Yang Yanni immediately turned on her mobile phone, pointed and said: Look at me using this software, he will tell me what I want to read, and my pronunciation is very standard, you ask your father to buy you a thia, it's not expensive, it's 150 a semester, and your father can eat two packs of cigarettes less.
Xun Huan sighed heavily.
Yang Yanni said again: Actually, Wang Ding also bought this software before, it seems that he has bought it for three years, and he doesn't use it now, you can use it.
Xun Huan turned his head lazily: Please, don't say in front of me in the future whether Wang Ding is good or not, I'm really tired.
Okay, then you can use mine.
Xun Huan didn't speak.
Yang Yanni wanted to make her happy, and continued: Xun Huan, do you know? My grandmother, there was a girl, very beautiful, only fifteen years old, who was actually married to an old man by his adoptive father, it was so funny, the old man gave her adoptive father tens of thousands of dollars, haha, it's incredible, haha.
Is it that funny? Xun Huan was suddenly pricked by a needle.
Fifteen years old, adoptive father, old man. Xun Huan felt that the story Yang Yanni told was terrifying, and whether she would follow in her footsteps. If that's the case, it's better to die.
Yang Yanni didn't notice the change in Xun Huan, and continued to express her opinion: If I were that girl, I would definitely escape on the wedding night, swear to die, go to another place, and start life again.
I can't imagine that you still have such courage, I can't see it. Xun Huan praised Yang Yanni.
Yang Yanni is even more proud: Of course, women have to fight against their own fate, rather than being submissive and accepting other people's arrangements.
How do you fight?
Run!
How do you survive?
In today's society, if you have the strength to survive, you can get an ID card when you are born?
You know so much. Xun Huan exclaimed.
Yang Yanni returned: You don't want to sleep on the planet anymore, you have to come down with us, if there is any problem, we can help you solve it.
It's not that simple, Xun Huan sighed.
Xun Huan, don't be so pessimistic, it's all nine-year compulsory education now, and you don't need any money. When you go to college, you can work on your own to support yourself.
Thank you, Xun Huan said. That's when the English teacher walked into the classroom.
She said: "Our English test today was held in batches on the fourth floor of the opposite building, first the first group, and then the roots in the back.
The English test is not difficult, it has been done by Xun Huan, but there is still a little gap in this pronunciation.
After the exam, Yang Yanni sighed and said: This topic, if Wang Ding is here, it will definitely be a perfect score. It's just a pity that the beauty has taken the yellow crane to go, and the yellow crane tower is vacant here, and the beauty is gone forever. Xun Huan, tell me, what is Wang Ding doing now?
You call and ask?
I heard that yesterday he used the phone of the national team's dormitory to call his watch, didn't you answer it?
Yes? Xun Huan's eyes suddenly lit up, and suddenly they went gray again.
You are really a heavy color and a light friend, and Wang Ding's phone number is also hidden.
How do you know so clearly?
My dad and his dad were friends, and his dad said that his first call was to his classmate, and the watch was from his classmate, and he said that he was a little jealous.
And then what?
Didn't he tell you? Calls are only available before 10 p.m. The coach's requirements are very strict, a stick pounces, and immediately a big bag grows up, just like watching cats and mice, the red envelope arches a little bit, and it hurts to think about it!
Yes, Xun Huan was told by Yang Yanni, and her heart hurt.
But what did that call say?
