Section 5

"You should think of me a little more favorably," Miao Tong said with a smile

has become unfamiliar

Second Sister

Miao Tong shook his head: "I do not wish to impose anything upon him; I hope he lives for himself"

"Who said that? I have always been jealous of him. You mischievous girl, stop teasing me." Xie Ling thought, although she felt jealousy, she would sincerely wish them well.

Regarding past matters, they no longer mention them, and even Xie Ling seems to share this tacit understanding, as if nothing had happened

Miao Tong interrupted him: "No! I just hope he gets better soon!"

People are constantly changing, aren't you changing as well

For some reason, Xie Ling shifted the topic to Luoshi Real Estate

This is a matter between the two of us

Bai Xiyan raised her chin and immediately said: "Why should I tell him?"

Miao Tong smiled and dodged, then closed the door and left

Miao Tong sighed: "This is the benefit of Platonic love"

Well, actually, I lost my phone, and then I no longer have your phone number

With children present, she was also afraid that Bai Xiyan would get angry again, and Bai Min's maternal instincts were overflowing, leaving her no time to show a long face to Miao Tong. In fact, she didn't really hate Miao Tong; she felt sorry for her. However, people naturally have varying degrees of closeness, and she only wished for her pitiful younger brother to avoid some pain, even if it meant that she had to be the villain.

And then? Shall we discuss your sacred Platonic love?

Xie Ling confronted and pressured Tu Shu, directly questioning Miao Tong: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

It is said that God loves the world, yet God is such an existence, providing guidance but never extending a hand for redemption

If possible, she would very much like to forget certain people and events, for living means seeking a source of light. However, the stronger the light before her, the darker the shadow that follows closely behind. God has made people bear their own shadows, serving as a constant reminder to those who are overly optimistic that life always has its dark sides. Yet it also tells the fragile not to look back, for the light lies ahead.

"Xiao Tong, you need to be mentally prepared," Xie Ling said. "The reason you are willing to see him is precisely because you know his condition has already..."

Upon entering the room, Bai Xiyan, dressed in a gray loungewear, found Liu Jinzhi and Xie Ling seated across from her. The three men were engaged in a game of Dou Di Zhu, holding a hand of flower cards. She only knew that they enjoyed playing Mahjong. The set of Mahjong that Bai Xiyan owned was a gift from an artist friend, crafted from Hetian jade and ivory, and it was exceptionally beautiful. Bai Xiyan's long, fair fingers skillfully arranged the tiles, rolling the dice with a deft touch, which somehow left Miao Tong in awe for quite some time.

"I am hardly honored to be your second sister," Bai Min said, and then she took the little boy to wash his hands in the hot spring pool, no longer paying attention to her. The little boy, with his childish voice, kept glancing at Miao Tong, looking very well-behaved and endearing.

He and the books relied on wealthy women to get started, what else could it be if not a duck

She knows that things will not be that simple

Bai Xiyan expressed disbelief: "Is that all?"

When attending a meeting at the headquarters, Zhuo Yue looked at her dark circles and felt a pang of heartache: "I brought you to the branch office, and while I can accept you working tirelessly, it is not my intention to push you to the brink of exhaustion. How about this, come to my house for dinner this weekend, and let Uncle Qiao prepare some delicious food for you"

"Go ahead, I don't know who said they wanted to be alone for life, but now they keep talking about the twenty-four filial piety husbands, are they trying to make someone jealous?" Miao Tong said in a deep voice, rubbing her neck, "I have to go back to the branch office, I need to review the proofs again for the film tonight. Let Lin Le accompany you for lunch, after all, he is filial."

Has it improved or worsened

He had never realized that Miao Tong had become so articulate to this extent

By the way, how is your wife doing

Based on Miao Tong's understanding of Bai Xiyan, he would not spread the incident of being splashed with wine everywhere. However, at that moment, with so many eyes upon them, there is no wall that does not let the wind through

He didn't tell you

When I was young, there were many more fireflies in the mountains, many times more than this. After catching them, I would put them in the mosquito net, and they would twinkle all night long. "Xie Ling sighed, "But they would die after just one night, truly fragile.

At this moment, she could still easily joke about her own matters, even though she must be feeling unwell inside. Xie Ling looked at her and the * picture * book, resembling the serene and beautiful white paulownia flowers blooming fiercely on a tranquil branch. She had completely blossomed, dazzlingly radiant. The man who made her so beautiful is truly enviable

It has also become unfamiliar. Miao Tong smiled, "You never used to think of others like this; you were broad-minded and cheerful, and you are no longer jealous or reserved."

Bai Min led a small boy with bright, round eyes out the door, softly coaxing, "Auntie will take you to wash your hands in warm water." Upon seeing Miao Tong standing at the door, her expression suddenly turned cold, yet she did not speak to drive him away

Fortunately, dinner was ready, and they quickly concluded this topic filled with tension

Because Bai Xiyan is the brother with whom he can exchange life and death

All her unnatural expressions were quietly gathered in Bai Xiyan's eyes. From the moment she entered, his gaze fell on her as lightly as a feather. He was ill, yet Miao Tong was still willing to visit him, which he considered a stroke of luck. Every additional glance was a gain, and nothing could comfort him more than this.

What has suddenly piqued your interest in him

After that day, Miao Tong thought that Luo Youning would call to pester her, but he did not

The little boy I just encountered outside the door is Liu Nian, the son of Liu Jinzhi. He is already 2 years old this year, a chubby and tender little darling, yet he frowns all day long, putting on a serious expression, just like his father.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard bursts of laughter coming from the house and the study, a rare liveliness

No matter how you put it, I am still your second choice

Xie Ling was taken aback, suddenly realizing that he had a wife. He chuckled and said, "Hey, why bring her up? You really know how to spoil the mood. We finally managed to get together, let's enjoy the wine tonight and get drunk. By the way, where is Jin Zhi's son? That little guy is quite amusing."

He said, "I am tired; I want to live selfishly for myself, even if just once." Xie Ling smiled bitterly, "It is a pity that during the days you were not here, I was the one accompanying him, yet the one who understands him the most is still you."

Xie Ling was overjoyed and came over to give her a hug: "Seeing that you are not missing any arms or legs, I don't have to offer white roses to your body blown to bits like tomato sauce, I am truly so happy."

Miao Tong touched her nose, which was covered in dust, truly living up to the reputation of the second sister

Oh, Roche wants to place an advertisement for the new property in our weekly magazine, just out of curiosity

So have I become better or worse

What else could there be? Miao Tong appeared calm and indifferent, "Do you want to introduce him to me to see if he is suitable?"

Luo Youning's duck is now quite arrogant, and one wonders what kind of deity he is holding. The new property he is developing caused fatalities during the demolition, and this happened in City B, yet everything was suppressed. Recently, there have been plans to turn a certain area of the small delta into a villa district and oxygen bar for the city, and then he splashed you with red wine. Isn't this just a blatant challenge to Yuan Sheng Tang by Fen He * Tu * Shu Ming? However, having only been listed for two years, I find it hard to believe that he has such a robust financial chain...

One sentence blocked all of Xie Ling's subsequent attempts at persuasion. To untie the bell, one must be the one who tied it, he thought with a laugh: whether forgiveness or hatred, why didn't Miao Tong's deadbeat parents give her a dream? After a while, Xie Ling said again: "If you want him to live, persuade him to accept a living donation; he will listen to you."

As soon as Xie Ling saw her, his eyes widened, and his expression could almost be described with the words "resentful": "When did you come back?"

Xiaotong, you have changed a lot

What do you mean?

I do not wish to discuss the topic of death at this moment

Miao Tong was left speechless: "Why should I tell you?"

On the way home, it was the author's car, driven by Xie Ling. The weather today is exceptionally clear, and even though the orange-red streetlights illuminate the winding mountain road, the stars at the horizon remain faintly visible, occasionally revealing a few green fireflies.

Xie Ling was taken aback for a moment: "You said the same thing to him."

Miao Tong suddenly choked and took a couple of sips of water to mask her discomfort

However, no matter how busy he is, Miao Tong always finds time to visit Bai Xiyan. He was discharged from the hospital two days ago and would rather make the round trip than stay in that stark white hospital room. The taxi ride from indoors to the halfway up the mountain takes two hours round trip, and Miao Tong usually stays for two hours to keep him company before leaving

Why is he called a duck
