7. Heart-to-heart talk

"You're finally here, I can't see you these days, but I'm bored." Jiang Qi took my arm and insisted on pulling me to the toilet during the big class.

"Hehe, I want to ask you something......"

"Didn't you come to the bathroom?"

"Going to the toilet is secondary, gossip is the most important, especially your gossip!"

"Mine? What gossip do I have? ”

Jiang Qi pouted and patted me on the shoulder, "Still hiding it from me?" The school is all spreading! ”

I rubbed the place where she had been patted, "If you have something to say, don't do it." ”

"Then tell me, is Zhao Jiayu your brother?"

I stared at her with wide eyes, and then looked around, but luckily the others had their own little groups, and they were chatting so much that they didn't notice us.

"You...... How do you know? ”

"Really?" Her voice was unconsciously several times higher, and her eyes were glowing with the light of the gossip god.

"Auntie, be quiet!" I hurriedly pulled her into the cubicle.

"Hurry up and tell me why you became Zhao Jiayu's sister, I haven't heard you say it?"

"Tell me first, how do you know!"

"It's no secret anymore, the whole school knows that Zhao Jiayu has a sister named Zheng Lian."

“……”

"You don't know?"

I shook my head.

"You don't know it? By the way, you've been at home for the past few days. This news also came out suddenly three days ago, and Zhao Jiayu didn't deny it, so it's eight or nine or ten, as for the remaining two points of accuracy, of course I have to ask you to confirm. Jiang Qi leaned on the partition with her hands on her chest, and as she spoke, her eyebrows shook up twice like a joke, and her enthusiasm for gossip was beyond my imagination.

"Actually...... To say that I am her sister is yes and no. ”

"How?"

"My mom and his dad remarried, nominally he was my brother, but in reality ......"

"Oh, I see, you're brother and sister who are not related by blood."

I nodded.

"I didn't expect that people who have always been born are not close to them, and Zhao Jiayu will have such a complicated family relationship."

"Don't talk about it!"

Jiang Qi squinted, pursed his mouth, and nodded twice, "I understand, I understand." ”

"Hmm."

"There's nothing to dig up when I hear this, it's not as good as Chen Rui's matter." I watched her squint, rubbing her thumb and forefinger against her chin, muttering.

"What's the matter with Chen Rui?"

"Hehe, just a few days ago, Chen Rui was blocked in a bar and beaten! and Liu Zixuan, they are also there, but they don't get a good deal. ”

"Really?"

"Well, good news!"

"That'...... Do you know who hit it? ”

"I heard that it is the people of our school's women's basketball team, Chen Rui is relying on the money in his family and making it blindly, if he really fights, their group of people is not enough for the women's basketball team to warm up."

It turned out that it was not Zhao Jiayu.

"But it's also strange, the women's basketball team and Chen Rui have always been well water and don't interfere with river water, in fact, to put it bluntly, the women's basketball team looks down on Chen Rui's gang, and they have to deal with them, and this time I don't know how to get together."

"Oh."

After gossiping, the nose seemed to have suddenly regained its original function, Jiang Qi and I glanced at each other and hurriedly came out of the cubicle.

“…… The toilets are truly a marvellous place. ”

"That's not it! Haha......"

After evening self-study, I waited at the school gate, and when I saw Zhao Jiayu and Liang Kun pushing the cart out, I waved to Zhao Jiayu.

Liang Kun also came over and joked: "Some people are really happy, and there is a sister waiting after school." ”

Zhao Jiayu glanced at him.

"Why didn't you go back?" He stopped in front of me and asked.

I smiled and said, "I want to go back with you." ”

He pushed the cart and walked in front, and without looking back, he said, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm." I followed him to the left.

"And me, and me. Sister Zheng Lian, I am your brother's good brother. Liang Kun pushed the cart around to my left, and the three of us walked side by side.

"I know, your name is Liang Kun."

Zhao Jiayu glanced at me and didn't say anything.

"Hehe, it's good that my sister knows me!" Liang Kun is thin and tall, every time he sees him, he is smiling, and walking with the cold Zhao Jiayu is really a strange match.

"Who's your sister? Don't set almost. "I'm short, only up to Zhao Jiayu's shoulder, and I didn't block his sight from looking at Liang Kun at all.

"Who's close, you're her brother, so I'm not his brother too?"

Zhao Jiayu looked at him with disgust.

"Sister Zheng Lian, you don't know how much psychological tolerance you have to be able to stay by your brother's side."

I was amused by her, thinking that he had helped me, so I took his words: "Brother Liang Kun is amazing." ”

"Oh, Sister Zheng Lian's mouth is so sweet! No wonder everyone wants a sister, now let my mother give me one, I don't know if she is still willing. ”

"Haha......" I was amused by him.

When they arrived at the crossroads, Liang Kun said, "Brother Kun will accompany you here today, and I'll see you tomorrow." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Jiayu waved his hand with him.

I watched Liang Kun ride out a long way, and when I wanted to turn back, I found that Zhao Jiayu was looking at me from the side, so I was embarrassed to turn back.

"Then reluctantly, you can go to his house with you."

He wore a black baseball cap, stood up the collar of his school uniform, pulled the zipper to his chin, and showed only deep eye sockets and a straight nose, and spoke with his face turned to me.

"That's not going to work, I'll have to be cheeky enough to stay for three years."

"What do you mean by staying for three years?"

"Stay until I graduate from high school."

The green light came on, he glanced at me and pushed the cart across the sidewalk, and I chased after him.

His steps were too big, and I was halfway through the road when he got to the opposite intersection.

I saw him waiting for me across from him and ran over with a smile. At the last step, he jumped in front of him with both feet on the ground, put his hands behind his back, and said proudly, "I've caught up with you!" ”

I looked up at him with a smile and saw that the corners of his mouth were slowly rising, without the usual raised eyebrows, and his eyes were crooked, which was very good-looking.

"You look good when you smile seriously."

He withdrew his smile and walked forward somewhat unnaturally.

Although it was a short time, I could see it clearly. He was smiling brightly and dazzlingly just now, and his usually cold eyebrows and eyes were full of starlight.

Fortunately, he walked more slowly on the road behind, and I didn't have to kick my two little short legs like Hot Wheels.

"Why do you have to let me go back?"

I glanced at him and saw that he had been staring at the road ahead, as if he had asked the question at random.

I pondered how to answer, but finally decided to tell the truth, "Hmm...... I always feel that it is because my mother and I have made you and Uncle Zhao so unpleasant, so ...... Feel the responsibility to ease the conflict between the two of you. ”

The usual raised eyebrows reappeared, and he sneered and said, "I think so much." ”

"......," I pouted and didn't say anything.

"The contradiction between the two of us has been there for a long time, and it is not only after you came."

I looked up at him, and I still saw a blank face.

"Without Zheng Xiaowan, there will be others, as long as he wants to, he can always remarry."

He suddenly stopped and looked up at the starry sky, and said slowly, "He has forgotten about my mother." ”

For a while, I was burned by the sadness in his eyes, and my heart trembled involuntarily.

He blinked, hiding the sadness in his eyes, and looked at me as if he didn't care about anything, "So you don't have to take everything on yourself." ”

I didn't want to see him sad, so I changed the topic and asked, "Are you looking for someone to beat Chen Rui and them?" ”

"That's what you want to ask me today?"

"Hmm."

"Yes." He turned his head to look at me, his deep eyebrows and slightly raised lips, which made me feel a little evil, but also unexpectedly handsome.

"It's just a way to govern others as they are."

"That'...... Was the video also deleted by the women's basketball team? ”

"No," I replied unexpectedly, and he looked at me and said, "I deleted it, and no one else saw the video." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay. No, what does it mean that no one else has seen that video......

"Did you see it?"

"Hmm."

I looked at him with wide eyes and some exasperation, "You...... How can you look at it! ”

"I'm always going to see what she's recording, what if she tricks me with another video?"

“……”

"Besides, if I don't come forward, do you think Chen Rui's group of people will give up, and you will be so quiet?"

I was stunned, thinking that this is indeed the truth, if Zhao Jiayu does not come forward and does not let them know that they will be retaliated against because they bullied me, they will still think that I am weak and can be bullied, and similar things may emerge in endlessly.

So Zhao Jiayu came forward to let Chen Rui and the others know that I, Zheng Lian, was protected by Zhao Jiayu?

I thought about it and asked, "Why are you helping me?" ”

Don't you hate me very much?

He stopped and said, "The reason why you are being targeted by them, I should help you." ”

I leaned over, looked him in the eye, smiled and said, "If only you were my brother." ”

"Forget it, I don't want a stupid sister like you." He held the car with his right hand, put his left hand in his pocket, and turned his head to say disdainfully.

I rolled my eyes and decided to take it back.

"Did you roll your eyes at me?"

This cannot be admitted, "No." ”

I walked on, not wanting to bother with him.

Suddenly, the back of my neck was grabbed by a big hand, and he pulled me back like a chick, "Eh, what are you doing, you let go!" ”

I was pulled back by him, looked down at me, and said word by word: "Don't roll your eyes at me in the future." ”

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and their necks are in the hands of others, can I not be honest?

I smiled and admitted, "Well, I understand, not in the future." ”

He let go of his hand and walked in front, and I could only obediently follow behind, muttering as I went: "It's too deceitful!" ”

After Zhao Jiayu came back, Zhao Zhigang postponed the evening entertainment every day, just to say a few words to his son, it can be seen that he still cares about Zhao Jiayu very much, and the relationship between father and son can be regarded as easing.

In order to thank me, Zhao Zhigang secretly stuffed me with a bank card, which he said was for my pocket money.

I shirked it, he said that Zhao Jiayu also has it, and he can't favor one over the other with the two children.

I was embarrassed to accept it, and I put it in a drawer on my bedside table in a book.

I didn't plan to use the money in it, I'm afraid that it will take up too much and I won't be able to pay it back in the future.
