Su Tao woke up naturally from sleep, and she glanced at it sleepily, it was already past nine o'clock. Yesterday she came back too late, and at that time she was still confused by Su Ying's abnormal behavior before, she remembered that she seemed to be going to Zhou Xiaonan's house to play today, so she forced herself to climb up with sleepiness. She looked at her mobile phone, there were several missed calls, all of which were from Zhou Xiaonan, and a few text messages, all of which were also sent by Zhou Xiaonan. She was about to open it when Zhou Xiaonan called again. Su Tao picked it up helplessly.

"Hey, my aunt! Can you have some credit~ I said that I didn't come here today, and I didn't answer the phone, what kind of trouble are you doing?"

"Eh, I said it was today, but I didn't say when it was, didn't I? I slept late yesterday, so I just woke up. I'll go after packing up in a while, don't make a fuss. Su Tao said with a yawn.

"Please, can't you just come early? Today, I deliberately took my mom away. Just to wait for you to come, we can have fun for a while. You're still grinding around here. Come on, come on. Zhou Xiaonan urged coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, you wait for me to wash up, have a breakfast and come over." Su Tao hurriedly agreed.

"Oh, what's breakfast, I have everything at home. Hurry up and pack up and come to my house to eat. Zhou Xiaonan said.

"Oh, I know, I know." After Su Tao finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone, she was a little entangled in her heart, whether to tell Zhou Xiaonan what happened yesterday later, I don't know how he would react if he knew about his relationship with He Yang.

Su Tao quickly finished washing up while thinking, and walked towards Zhou Xiaonan's house. Her residence was very close to Zhou Xiaonan's house, but only a few blocks away. This area is all wealthy, and at least the families who live here are above the middle class. The students in Su Tao's class basically gathered in this area. Zhou Xiaonan's home is located in the middle of a villa area, and the greenery in this neighborhood is quite good. The white walls look particularly low-key under the shade of green trees, and there is some luxury that does not show the mountains and waters. It seems that Zhou Xiaonan's family conditions, even if they are not the top in their class, can be said to be quite good. Su Tao followed the door number to find Zhou Xiaonan's home, No. 345. It is a rather simple and sleek villa design, with no particularly high walls, just a low white picket fence and a neat lawn inside, apparently often manicured. The color palette of the central white marble fountain is in harmony with the villa at the rear, giving the overall layout an orderly appearance.

Su Tao rang the doorbell, and soon someone came to open the door. As soon as the door opened, Zhou Xiaonan poked his head out, revealing his delicate smiling face.

"Ha, Su Tao, you're finally here. I'm waiting to death. ”

"Please, it's only ten o'clock, I've only been an hour since I got up, you're not early enough, wow? I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Su Tao complained.

"It's okay, if you want something to eat, tell me." Zhou Xiaonan pulled Su Tao into the door.

"Whatever, give me a drink first. All the way, I was dying of thirst. Su Tao said as she walked.

Zhou Xiaonan took out a bottle of fresh fruit tea from the refrigerator and handed it to Su Tao, asking, "What do you want to play?" ”

Su Tao took a sip of fruit tea, soothed his nerves, and replied while looking at Zhou Xiaonan's home, "It's okay, what do you want to do?" "The interior decoration of Zhou Xiaonan's house is also very exquisite and beautiful, and some seemingly simple small details are actually extremely expensive. Su Tao was suddenly curious about what Zhou Xiaonan's parents were doing, but out of politeness, Su Tao still didn't ask abruptly. She didn't understand, it is said that it should not be difficult for a family like Zhou Xiaonan to blend into the inner circle of Shao Huan and others, not to mention that Zhou Xiaonan himself is more likable and has strong social skills, why has he been wandering around the edge of the central circle, and even being squeezed out if he disagrees? Could it be because the Zhou family's money came from the wrong way, and other people don't want to have anything to do with him, and it's not right, if Zhou Xiaonan's family is really an underworld family, then even if other classmates refuse to have a deep relationship, they will definitely not offend him casually. Su Tao hesitated.

"Didn't you say you wanted to watch a movie?" Zhou Xiaonan said casually.

"Okay, then let's find a few films first." Su Tao came back to her senses, "What do you want to see?" ”

"Let's start with whose movie you want to see."

"Hmm...... Hugh Grant's film, "Maurice's Lover". Su Tao said.

"Do you think I'm gay, and I'll like gay movies?" Zhou Xiaonan couldn't laugh or cry.

Su Tao said speechlessly, "You go aside, I just want to appreciate Hugh Grant's prosperous beauty." Don't you like it? I thought he was very attractive to you. ”

Zhou Xiaonan sighed and said, "Alas, I guess you straight daughters who can't be straight will like this, Hugh Grant's literary freshness is not my cup of tea at all." ”

"What, do you think he is a little fresh in literature and art, and he is obviously a British gentleman, okay?" Su Tao immediately retorted.

"Come on, he's a flirtatious scumbag." Zhou Xiaonan mocked mercilessly.

"I'll tell you about your appearance and temperament, you have to talk to me about your character and style...... You're going to do something. Su Tao said dissatisfiedly, "Then who do you say you want to see?" ”

"I didn't think about it either." Zhou Xiaonan said honestly.

"You ......" Su Tao was left speechless by Zhou Xiaonan. After some haggling, they finally decided to watch "Fast and Furious" together, so that they could see both a muscular man like Vin Diesel and a relatively handsome guy like Paul Walker to satisfy Su Tao's aesthetic. The two of them were eating snacks and watching movies at the same time, although the snacks couldn't stop the mouths of the two of them, and the two chattered people kept complaining while watching.

"Wow, is this wave of operations so slippery?"

"How do you think the protagonist's brain grows? Isn't it stupid? ”

"You know what? This is the plot needs! ”

The two were in a quarrel, and Zhou Xiaonan asked, "Su Tao, do you want to eat fruit?" ”

"Okay, are there any cherries?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you." Zhou Xiaonan said, about to go downstairs, but suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, he glanced at Su Tao, and comforted, "It's okay, maybe my mother came back first, I'll go down and have a look first." With that, he ran downstairs. Su Tao nodded, but still got up and followed slowly. As soon as she reached the staircase of the corridor on the second floor, she heard Zhou Xiaonan's obviously panicked voice. "Why are you here?"

"What? Isn't that possible? Another deep, magnetic voice said.

"I mean...... I mean...... You didn't say a word before you came," Zhou Xiaonan's voice became smaller and smaller, so much so that there was even some trilling behind him.

"When I go back to my house, do I still have to ask you for instructions?" The deep male voice said defiantly, unconcerned.

"I ...... That's not what I mean, I mean, why didn't you go back to the villa over there in Amber Villa......" Zhou Xiaonan muttered.

"How angry we are, I want to live in my own home, can't I?" The man's tone was sarcastic.

"But you don't usually come." Zhou Xiaonan muttered.

"I'm happy to come today, can't I?" The other party still refuses to forgive.

"What the hell do you want?" Zhou Xiaonan asked helplessly.

"What can I think? I want to see how your wild seed is doing in my home! ”

What the? Su Tao was secretly shocked when she heard this, she wanted to lean in to see the man, but she was too far away to see the face clearly, and she could only vaguely see that it was a tall man with a tall posture. She was hesitating whether to go over, but Zhou Xiaonan whispered again, "Brother, don't do this...... I still have guests at home. Su Tao saw that Zhou Xiaonan obviously didn't want people to know about this, so he stopped again.

"Huh, guest? I'd like to see what kind of guest makes my wild brother so interested? ”

"Don't do that...... If there is anything to talk about later, don't put the conflicts at home in front of outsiders. Zhou Xiaonan pleaded.

"Yo, what? It's a shame...... You know shame, huh? The man's attitude became more and more arrogant.

Su Tao saw that Zhou Xiaonan was bullied too hard, and couldn't help it at all, so she rushed forward and asked, "Can't you say something well?" What do you mean by being so aggressive? ”

"Hey, that's your guest. You weren't so nervous because you liked her, right? I didn't expect you to be such a sissy, and there would be a girl you like. I thought you were a. Now Su Tao saw clearly, that person was a tall and handsome young man, but he was full of anger, and even his eyes were a little gloomy.

"You, you don't talk nonsense. I said a long time ago, I'm not ......" Zhou Xiaonan was incoherent.

"Alright, alright, don't change the subject. Who is this girl? The man made a mocking gesture.

"It doesn't matter who I am. Judging by your attitude, I don't think you care who Xiao Nan's friend is. In the same way, I don't care who you are. If you have any contradictory words, you can sit down and say it. You can't say these nasty things to sarcastically others. Su Tao said.

"Zhou Xiaonan, no wonder you were so nervous just now. She doesn't know what you are, does she? ”

"What do you mean?" Su Tao frowned.

"Brother, don't ......" Zhou Xiaonan opened his mouth to interrupt him.

"Don't call me brother!" But the young man shook off his hand.

"He's your brother?" Su Tao was confused.

"So you really don't know." The young man looked playful, "Here, there are really not many people who don't know that Zhou Xiaonan is an illegitimate child." No wonder he's so worried, you don't know what he is. Zhou Xiaonan's face turned pale instantly, he glanced at Su Tao in a panic, and quickly dodged away.

Su Tao sighed in her heart, and all the doubts in her heart were solved at this moment. She understood why, even though Zhou Xiaonan was born in such a wealthy family, his classmates' attitude towards him was still so straightforward; also understood why Zhou Xiaonan never mentioned his parents; also understood why he was so active and trying to integrate into the social circle; But he dared to be so resolute and gave up his previous efforts for himself. Because he knows that in this circle, no one really looks up to his origins. An illegitimate child who is not recognized is destined to inherit the family business, and is also destined to have no chance with the inner circle of the upper class, even if there are good material conditions now, what is the use? No one cares about such a network that has no use value. This is also why Zhou Xiaonan cares so much about her opinion of herself. He was so expecting someone to understand and accept who he really was.

The young man sneered with a gloating face, "Hehe, now that the truth is revealed, you don't have to do this futile struggle anymore." Zhou Xiaonan, you are always expecting things that you will never get. Identity, Recognition...... These, never belong to an illegitimate child. ”
