Chapter 3, The Fragments of Glowing Light

I sluggishly got up and glanced at my watch; there was still some time before the appointment with Vanga. ... By the time I slowly arrived at the entrance of the library, I could see Vanga waiting there from a distance, accompanied by Gu Miyi, and also ... . ... Meng Xilou.

You really don't need to do this; this amount of money is nothing to me

There is a question I have pondered for a long time, hesitated for a while, before finally asking: "Do you know about Suhe Town?"

Going to school, leaving school, reading, and eating, I have always been alone. Xia Han is always surrounded by a large group of girls, chattering about entertainment or clothing combinations, and wherever she goes, she is supported by a crowd of people.

The room is very quiet, allowing me to hear Gu Mi's shallow breathing and the sound of the air conditioner. I can even hear the sound of cells freezing, my whole body numbed by the cold air, completely devoid of sensation, and my consciousness is also hazy.

And those who once surrounded Xia Han have all been dismissed by her. She said: "Su Xi, you are the only one by my side now. Although we have not known each other for long, I actually want to be friends with you for a lifetime"

I haven't seen you these past few days

It turns out that she has asthma

Gu Mi Yin began to make trouble at the dining table again, her chopsticks picking and choosing in the plate, while she said: "This dish is too salty, are you trying to make us die of saltiness? Bah, bah, bah, this dish looks disgusting, it completely kills my appetite. This dish looks okay, but I don't like it. By the way..." She raised her head, pointing her chopsticks at her mother and said, "Make sure to wash my clothes later, and the bedroom needs to be cleaned too." This dish looks okay, but I don't like it. By the way..." She raised her head, pointing her chopsticks at her mother and said, "Make sure to wash my clothes later, and the bedroom needs to be cleaned too."

"I was in such a hurry when I went out that I tripped and fell, and my bag flew far away. At that moment, my asthma acted up again. If it weren't for you... I really appreciate you..." As she spoke, she rummaged through her bag and finally pulled out a stack of money, handing it to me, and continued, "This is the reward."

I owe a debt to my family, and I also owe a debt to my mother. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if I had never been born; perhaps my mother would be living happily.

Gu Mi Yin chuckled and sarcastically said, "Auntie, please do not mistakenly identify your daughter"

My mother held my hand, shaking her head with tears streaming down her face, signaling me to stop talking. I hastily wiped the tears from my face and choked out the question: "Do you not want to be with my mother anymore?"

Vanjia greeted me with a smile, while Gu Mi Yin beside me asked displeasedly, "So the person you were talking about is her."

When I returned to the hospital, my mother was already awake, and the nurse was feeding her porridge. I hurriedly put down my things, rushed over to take the bowl, thanked the nurse, and asked her to leave.

The boy who had taken a few steps turned around and said indifferently: "Xia Han, this is what you owe me."

Whatever I want to buy, my mother always calculates and recalculates, unwilling to waste a single penny. Therefore, in terms of clothing and appearance, I can only manage to be clean and tidy

It is too easy to speak. A lifetime is too long. When we are young, we naively believe that everything lasts a lifetime, whether it is friendship or love. However, often in the end, those that seem most likely to last a lifetime are the least likely to be achieved

I rushed over and pushed Gu Yuetian aside, glaring at him fiercely, and shouted: "She is your wife! How can you lay a hand on someone?"

Well

Upon returning home, I waved goodbye to Meng Xilou at the door; he turned and left without any hesitation

It turns out it was for Gu Mi Yin, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart

Upon hearing these words, Xia Han sat dejectedly on the bench like a deflated balloon

She dragged a thick quilt out of the wardrobe, then turned on the air conditioning, mischievously adjusting the temperature to eighteen degrees Celsius, and then, holding the thick quilt, went to bed to sleep

After my mother was discharged from the hospital, her spirits have not been very good, her complexion is pale, and she appears very weak.

Whenever others call me unsophisticated, Xia Han is always the first to jump out and retaliate. Her language skills are particularly excellent; she can insult someone in a way that is almost poetic, without using any profanity, and she certainly never repeats herself.

You actually went on a date with a thug behind my back and even had him take you home! Su Xi, have you grown some courage?

She tidied up and hummed a song as she stepped out the door

In front of Gu Yuetian, I did not want to argue with her, and my mother was pinching my hand under the table

Gu Mi Yin is more ruthless than I had imagined

At the entrance of the community, when I mentioned looking for Xia Han, the security guard scrutinized me from head to toe, his gaze revealing unabashed disdain.

After leaving Suhe Town, the first thing I learned was inferiority

About half an hour later, a handsome young man walked towards Xia Han and me. Could this person be the "scoundrel" that Xia Han mentioned?

How did you faint in A Yin's bedroom

"What else do you have to say ... ... I am at the hospital ... ... Okay ... ... I will wait for you at the hospital ... ... " After saying this, Xia Han hung up the phone, and her expression became somewhat unfamiliar

Is that aunt feeling any better

I sniffed and said, "Mom, I will take you away from the Gu family."

I know she means well, so I did not decline

Did you not promise me to study diligently? Why do you associate with those of questionable character?

Gu Yuetian's body stiffened, and his trembling hand slowly lowered. He took a deep breath, his emotions finally calming down, and slowly said: "Children should not inquire into matters between adults. Xiuxue, I am sorry... Business has not been good lately, so I have been very irritable..."

The classroom erupted in laughter once again

Mother has finally been discharged from the hospital. The doctor advised her not to eat overly greasy foods and to take care of her health first. I supported my physically weakened mother as we walked step by step out of the hospital. When we reached the entrance, she suddenly asked, "Why didn't he come to pick me up?" Before I could respond, she murmured to herself, "Perhaps he is busy again."

Good

Suhe Town ... ... I only know that I have been there, but I have no memory of it

Mother was taken aback, and then with red eyes said: "I just came to ask for the medical expenses, if you give them to me, I will leave."

Such coarse words do not seem to come from the mouth of a girl

Xia Han does not have many classes and comes to deliver meals every day. In fact, she could completely refrain from coming, as the hospital provides meals. However, in Xia Han's words: "The food at the hospital is so unpalatable that it could poison someone to death; my aunt's body cannot withstand it."

Gu Mi Yin raised her voice and shouted: "You all eat from the Gu family, live in the Gu family, shouldn't you do something?"

Mother covered her swollen red face and said softly, "I don't blame you; I just want to repay others as soon as possible"

That day, Xia Han was dressed in a black fitted T-shirt and a pair of black jeans, wearing 8-centimeter black high heels. Her hair was styled in a high ponytail, exposing her fair forehead, and she looked like a proud queen

In the evening, I opened Gu Mi Yin's door, preparing to go in and have a conversation with her

Meng Xilou seems to have grown thinner again, his bangs have grown long, obscuring his brows and eyes, also concealing the initial unruliness. Those eyes resemble the deep sea, devoid of light, only endless tranquility.

I sat silently beside her, gazing at her, without asking anything

After finishing all of this, Mother suddenly asked: "Xixi, has he been here?"

On the way back, Gu Yuetian was engrossed in work in the study. As I supported my mother past the study, I caught sight of his figure and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh

The moment Gu Mi Yin saw me, her expression changed, and I did not expect that she would also be there

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed in the bedroom, with my mother's eyes red and lost in thought

Gu Mi Yin raised her eyebrows arrogantly and said, "Su Xi, when you seek help from others, you should have a proper demeanor for asking. Shouldn't you kneel down and beg me?"

On Saturday morning, Gu Mi Yin appeared to be in a very good mood, and her attire was also quite different from usual. She meticulously arranged each strand of hair, applied light makeup, and, instead of her usual sneakers for running around, she suddenly wore high heels.

As November approaches, the weather gradually turns cooler. The cold air from the air conditioner blows towards me, causing me to shiver all over. I grit my teeth, enduring the chill as I continue to kneel, thinking that perhaps if I kneel a little longer, Gu Mi Yin might agree not to make things difficult for my mother

Her hand paused for a moment before she finally answered the phone, her tone stiff, revealing no discernible emotion

I can finally step down

Mother's gaze is hollow, and her entire being is so haggard that it evokes sympathy. After she finishes the congee, I prepare hot water to help her clean her body. When she has a fever, she sweats profusely, undoubtedly feeling uncomfortable all over.

Xia Han yawned long, with a hint of tears in her eyes, and said: "Alright then, I am really tired. Please be careful, and call me if anything happens. Tomorrow I will bring food for you and Auntie." She continued to chatter for a long time, then hailed a taxi and went home

Xia Han raised her eyebrows and said, "Just now, when you were feeding Auntie, I had already settled the bill, so don't worry. I haven't seen your stepfather around these days, so I knew it would turn out like this."

Such a small selfish desire has also pierced the softest part of the heart

There is not only Gu Mi Yin between Meng Xi Lou and me

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire class fell silent

No need for that, I hurriedly declined

Two people walking on the road are naturally relatively silent

I turned my head, and tears flowed out in a rush

"Xi Xi, have you ever particularly hated someone..." Xia Han asked abruptly

On the last day, she and I sat on a long bench in the hospital corridor. After a moment of hesitation, I spoke up: "Xia Han, my mother will be discharged tomorrow, and I need to go settle the bill. Could you possibly..."

I feel heartbroken watching this

I have caused you distress

"The medical expenses are borrowed, you should give me the money first." Even when met with indifference, my mother still spoke in a calm tone

Gu Yue Tian shouted angrily, "I told you I am busy, don't you have ears?"

I stood on the podium, looking down at my shoes, my nose tinged with a sense of bitterness. Amidst those unfriendly gazes, I suddenly felt that coming to the city was a mistake

As he was leaving, Gu Yuetian, who was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, suddenly said: "Su Xi, A Yin is immature, you must be more tolerant of her"

Xia Han emphatically declared once again, "I swear, this is the last time I will give you money!"

Gu Yuetian replied without raising his head: "I am very busy right now and do not have time to discuss these issues with you"

I bit my lip, tightly clenched my fists, and my palms were marked by my nails. Throughout my life, I have never knelt down. My mother has never asked me to kneel; she said that the knees represent a person's dignity

I nodded and said, "You can go back first, no need to accompany me to the hospital."

When Gu Yuetian is around, Gu Miying starts to misbehave, saying that this dish doesn't taste good, that dish lacks nutrition, criticizing their mother's clothes for not being washed clean, and even scolding her. Their mother is not good at speaking and does not argue back.

Xia Han waved her hand and said generously, "Consider this book as my gift to you. You don't need to pay me back."

Being able to become friends with Xiahan seems like a destined thing, just like it's destined for you to fall in love with someone, and it's also destined to sympathize with someone.

My mother has been hospitalized for three days, and I have taken three days off from school to take care of her

Xia Han had a disdainful look on her face as she said from a high vantage point, "My name is Xia Han. Although my name doesn't have the character 'Han' in 'cultivation', my cultivation is better than some people's!"

On my way to the classroom, I walked past Vanga's classroom, and he turned around to see me, immediately smiling. I tugged at the corner of my mouth and returned the smile in kind

Gu Yuetian has been treating his mother increasingly poorly, while Gu Miyin has been feeling increasingly happy

Xia Han's voice was soft, her tone light, carrying a hint of pleading and sincerity that made it impossible to refuse

A few days have passed, and Fanjia seems even more handsome.

At that time, my mother had not yet received the money from selling the house. Our family's savings were not much to begin with, and we were living a very difficult life.

What should I do then?

Whenever I hold my mother's hand, I always hope for a tall figure on the other side. I used to think that Gu Yuetian was that person when I saw how well he treated my mother. I also hoped that I could regard him as my biological father. But now it seems impossible. No matter what mistakes Gu Miyin makes, he will always stand by her side and indulge her, regardless of right or wrong, time and time again.

Sometimes I really hate Xu Jingchuan, but without him, I don't even know if I'm still alive now.

My face turned slightly red, and I whispered, "Thank you."

Xia Han took me out to eat, but in fact, I had no appetite at all, so I randomly ate a little something to settle my stomach

"A despicable person," Xia Han replied through gritted teeth

She looked at me and whispered, "Thank you..."

Meng Xilou turned his head and looked at the two remarkably good-looking individuals with an inscrutable expression

All the classmates were laughing, only Xia Han was pounding the table, shouting, "Shut up, all of you!"

Gu Mi Yin gave me a fierce glare, then followed by Fan Jia, entered the library. Meng Xi Lou came next, and I was left at the back.

Xia Han wanted to get up, and I hurriedly helped her to her feet, brushing off the dust from her clothes. When I looked up again, I suddenly found Xia Han gazing intently at me and saying, "You are the first person who doesn't want my money"

Xia Han rolled her eyes while taking out a stack of money from her pocket and heavily placed it on the boy's hand. She said fiercely, "This is the last time, really the last time!"

Thank you for your concern, she is much better now.

Just as I was about to turn and leave, Xia Han suddenly grabbed my hand and, after a long silence, quietly asked, "Su Xi... can I be friends with you..."

I leaned back and quietly explained, "If you rush over today, Gu Mi Yin will definitely dislike you."

I have always felt that Xia Han is not an easy person to approach. When surrounded by others, Xia Han speaks very little and her expression carries a hint of impatience

Last night, I knelt in the cold wind for so long that I only felt a headache and weakness in my body. I still went to school mainly because I didn't want to fall behind in my studies, even if it was just for review and consolidation.

Then I will go back and ask him for the money. You should return the money. It is always not good to owe others favors.

As I put the newly bought books into my backpack, I solemnly said, "There are many problems in this world that cannot be solved with money."

I can no longer find tranquility in books. My mind is filled with random thoughts, and the more I think, the more anxious I become.

I looked at the clock and realized that class time had already passed. I hurriedly jumped out of bed to change clothes, wanting to rush to class.

I know that there is a fierce beast in Mengxilou's heart. The more Gu Mi Yin is infatuated with Fan Jia Yue, the more ferocious the beast becomes. No one knows what Mengxilou will do when that wild beast is released.

When I was about to pay for the books I had chosen, I realized that my wallet was missing. I searched through my backpack but couldn't find it.

Like this, Fange was pulled by Gumi Yin to have a meal, leaving only me and Meng Xilou. Meng Xilou saw the two of them walk away before turning back to me and saying, "Let's go."

It was on Friday when I went to buy teaching materials that I met Xiahan again. As soon as I entered the bookstore, I saw Xiahan flipping through a book from a distance. She also noticed me and gave me a slight smile. I smiled back as a way of greeting.

What she says always leaves me in a state of both laughter and tears

Rest assured, I will definitely repay you the money

That is good

I looked at her and said with equal seriousness, "No, I cannot take advantage of you; I must repay the money!"

Xia Han was once my classmate. She was admitted to the best university in the city, while I repeated a year to wait for Meng Xilou.

I shook my head and said, "Mom is still at home waiting for me, you all go ahead and eat."

On the first day of school, the teacher asked me to introduce myself. Because I mixed in some local dialect, the whole class burst into laughter. I don't know who shouted, "Look, she looks like a country girl!"

Mom... he just gave me a ride home, there is nothing between us, you misunderstood..." I explained with a sense of grievance while covering my face

That kind of deep-seated inferiority complex made me begin to reject everything about the city

Mother, please do not act this way

I am merely requesting you My tone could not help but compromise a little

Mother continued to eat with her head down

I know who the "he" is that my mother speaks of, but I cannot bear to tell her the answer, so I lied and replied: "He has been here and has left."

At that time, Xu Jingchuan was deeply yearning to become a chivalrous hero who upheld justice, but now, he only reaches out to ask me for money, and he is becoming increasingly fickle, making him hard to understand. Xia Han couldn't help but mockingly say, "Time can easily change a person."

My mother's slap pushed me further away from Meng Xilou, and it made me understand what kind of price I would have to pay if I continued to like him

Gu Mi Yin tilted her head while holding a book, and inadvertently raised her gaze to Fan Jia, her eyes revealing an unmistakable affection and infatuation. Fan Jia's attention was focused on the book, his expression serious, and Gu Mi Yin couldn't help but reach out to touch his brows and eyes

I bit my lip and directly stated my intention: "Gu Mi Yin, the person who caused your mother's death is me, and has nothing to do with my mother, so please spare her."

Xia Han placed her hand on my shoulder and said, "Don't say such things, we are all good sisters"

My mother handed me a glass of water, and I drank it all in one go, which made me feel much better

I am grateful to her for helping me out of a difficult situation, but I have never had the thought of wanting to become good friends with her

The cashier urged me, and just as I was about to say that I wasn't buying, Xia Han handed over the money and said, "I will pay for her bill."

I shook my head

Regardless, I cherish this precious friendship with a devout heart. Xiahan rushed to help me when I needed it and even brought porridge for my mother. Just this alone is touching.

At last, I could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud, losing consciousness.

After I finished running, I sat beside her and chatted with her about everything under the sun.

Xia Han did not understand the meaning of marriage; she only knew that he had saved her, so she nodded vigorously

Tears streamed down my mother's face, her entire body swaying precariously. At that moment, my own tears fell as well, as if that slap had landed on me.

Later, someone heard the cries and rushed over, at which point the kidnapper threw Xia Han down and escaped alone

I was just about to say something when Xia Han's phone rang. The moment she saw the screen of her phone, her originally cheerful face gradually turned serious.

I paused for a moment, then without hesitation, rushed out the door

I really want to say, "Meng Xilou is not a petty thug," but this sentence is stuck in my throat and I cannot bring myself to say it

Around noon, Fan Jia proposed going out for a meal, and Gu Mi Yin started glaring at me again

One day, when Xia Han was in kindergarten, she was supposed to be picked up after school, but the caregiver did not come that day. Little Xia Han returned home alone and was kidnapped on the way. Xu Jingchuan appeared out of nowhere, and he did not know where he found the courage, but he rushed forward, grabbed the kidnapper, and shouted "Help!" In order to shake off Xu Jingchuan, the kidnapper cruelly swung a knife and severed his little finger.

At the end of class, Fan Jia called my name at the classroom door. Many people in the class were making a fuss, but I remained composed as I stepped out and stood in front of Fan Jia

It turns out that he really remembers nothing at all, while I alone cling to the memories, unwilling to let go

Mom ... ... my throat is dry and painful, I want to drink water ... ...

Summer waved her hand and once again recited the classic quote from the Xia family: "It's nothing, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."

Mother said beside me: "Today I helped you apply for leave."

She shook her head and looked at the sky outside the window, saying, "Unless Gu Yuetian personally speaks, I will spend my whole life at the Gu family to atone for my sins. It's different for you because you are still young and have your own life. I have lived for more than half a lifetime, and I have experienced everything that I should have experienced..."

After Xiahan sprayed the medicine, she rested for a while, and her complexion finally returned to normal, and her breathing also became stable.

Xia Han cannot run or do strenuous exercise, otherwise her asthma will flare up. So during PE class, while we run, she always sits alone on the playground, her figure looking somewhat desolate.

My mother got sick and was hospitalized, so I took a leave to take care of her.

I cautiously asked, "Who are you waiting for at the hospital?"

Seeing me hesitate, Gu Mi Yin sneered, "Didn't you always claim to love your mother? Why aren't you kneeling down? Are you just all talk and no action?"

Gu Mi Yin saw me kneel down, her expression froze. She gave me a disdainful look and said, "You can kneel as long as you want. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I'll agree."

Gu Yuetian took a card and gave it to his mother, saying, "The password is Ayin's birthday."

According to her, "If anyone insults you, I will make sure they don't even know their own surname."

I couldn't help but say: "My mother is not a servant."

I smiled at her and said, "It is my honor."

I smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps I am a bit foolish. Well, if you are fine, then I will take my leave now."

Mother stood in front of his desk and asked, "I have been hospitalized for so long, why haven't you come to see me?"

I am very reassured. Su Xi, you always find ways to repay what you owe to others, you definitely won't let me suffer a loss, right

I shook my head honestly

Yet I have a lump stuck in my chest, unable to vent it out

"Axi, you look unwell. Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Vankia asked with concern

I stood at the door and saw that Gu Yuetian's eyebrows were furrowed into a knot

Where do you live? I will return the money to you tomorrow, and I do not have school on the weekend

Gu Yuetian was eating the dishes when he suddenly said: "The dishes today are indeed not well prepared. Xiuxue, you have not been as attentive as before. The Gu family has never treated you poorly, and I hope you do not harm A Yin."

As soon as I entered the door, my mother suddenly slapped me across the face, trembling with anger.

Seeing my stubbornness, Xia Han did not bother to argue with me and simply provided the address

I truly appreciate your help today

Gu Mi Yin and Fan Jia were chattering as they walked ahead, while Meng Xi Lou and I lagged behind. There were not many people in the library; once we entered, the tranquility made Gu Mi Yin fall silent.

I stubbornly shook my head and said, "This is not a matter of how much money there is; my mother said that one must always repay what is owed to others"

After two and a half years, I have finally seen clearly and no longer hold any expectations

Ah?

Well, I have made an appointment with Axi first

Having said that, she fell asleep immediately

I seem to be experiencing a hallucination, able to hear the sound of time passing second by second, each second is an agony. My head is pounding violently, and my thoughts are a blank.

Before going to sleep, she did not forget to say: "I do not like there to be noise in the room; if you are going to kneel, you must be a little quieter."

That appearance made me wonder whether she was indeed the "Queen" of the first day of school

It is clearly my fault, yet she has to pay for it. I looked at her swollen face, and my tears flowed even more violently. Perhaps my mother will never find happiness again in this lifetime

In the evening, I still had to keep watch. Xia Han accompanied me home to get some toiletries and a change of clothes. When she offered to take me to the hospital, I declined.

Gu Mi Yin was reprimanded; although she pouted, the pride in her eyes was quite evident

Meng Xilou, what should I do with you

Mother trembled as she extended her hand to take the card, destined to rely on the person before her for the rest of her life

Mom, could you please not ask?

The corridor of the hospital is actually not quiet at all, filled with many noisy sounds. Xia Han's expression became very subtle as she gazed in the direction where the boy had disappeared, her eyes reflecting emotions that I could not comprehend

Mother stood frozen in place, suddenly embracing me tightly, tears streaming down her face. She kept apologizing to me: "I am sorry, Xixi, I just care too much about you. Seeing you with that little hoodlum made me lose my mind."

I hurriedly helped Xia Han sit up, allowing her to lean against me, and then I unbuttoned her blouse. Xia Han pointed to a bag not far away, struggling to say something.

Gu Mi Yin eagerly interjected, "Since that's the case, let's go eat. It's not safe for a girl to go home alone. Meng Xi Lou, why don't you see Su Xi off?"

Meng Xilou turned around and glared at me fiercely

If I spend a little more time with Vanga, does that mean Gu Mi Yin spends a little less time with Vanga, and therefore she spends a little more time with Meng Xi Lou? In that case, will Meng Xi Lou be a bit happier?

Mother pulled me into my bedroom and closed the door

I waved my hand and said, "No need." After changing my clothes, I hurriedly picked up my backpack and rushed to school

I nodded and said, "Hmm"

I do not know why, at the moment when Vanka extended the invitation, the figure of Meng Xilou suddenly flashed through my mind

Mother saw Gu Yuetian, broke free from my hand, and walked into the study

Thinking this way in my mind, I couldn't help but nod my head

He looked at me and said earnestly, "I must fulfill the promise I made to A Yin."

At that moment, my feelings were truly difficult to express

I went alone to another place to read books, while the corner of my eye followed the figure of Meng Xilou. However, Meng Xilou's gaze remained fixed on Gu Miyin, never leaving her.

The young man remained silent, extending his other hand to begin counting the money. I noticed that his right hand was missing the little finger. After finishing counting, the young man tucked the money into his pocket and smiled as he said "thank you"

I was stunned by the slap from my mother, standing in place, allowing her to scold me.

After wandering in the villa area for half an hour, I finally found Xia Han's house. At that time, Xia Han was lying at the door, her face pale, gasping for breath, struggling to even breathe.

I never thought I would become friends with Xia Han

Her gaze gradually focused, and a hint of a smile finally appeared at the corners of her brows, before she peacefully fell asleep

Xia Han looked at me and said seriously, "That is because there is not enough money"

Gu Yuetian does not allow her to go to work, previously under the pretext of not wanting her to be too tired. Mother stays at home, getting up early every day to prepare breakfast, but neither Gu Miyin nor Gu Yuetian ever eats breakfast at home. In the evening, Mother prepares a large table of dishes, and when Gu Yuetian comes home late, she waits at the table with an empty stomach, reheating the dishes over and over again. When Gu Yuetian returns late at night, reeking of alcohol and completely drunk, Mother patiently assists him with his washing up, never uttering a single complaint.

You are welcome

Gu Yue, feeling anxious about the weather, stepped out in two or three strides, raised his hand, and slapped his mother, shouting: "Get lost!"

Xia Han told me a story

Meng Xilou clenched his fists tightly, glaring fiercely at Fan Jia, his entire being radiating a sense of anger. The moment Gu Mi Yin's hand touched Fan Jia, Meng Xilou's fury reached its peak. It seemed as if he was about to charge forward, and I took a few steps closer to grab his wrist.

During dinner time, Gu Yuetian was rarely at home. My mother had just recovered from her illness and began to busy herself in the kitchen again, so I went in to help her

Axi, tomorrow is the weekend. Would you like to go to the city library with me to read? They have a wider variety of books there

I smiled gently and replied, "Then let us be good friends for a lifetime"

In the Gu family, the mother's role is akin to that of a servant

For the sake of my mother, I steeled my heart and knelt heavily on the ground. In that moment, my dignity vanished amidst Gu Mi Yin's mockery. All I wanted was for my mother's life to be a little better, and nothing more. Compared to my mother, what do these things even count for?

Mother held my hand tightly and said, "I regard A Yin as my own daughter"

Oh dear, please do not cry, I can hardly bear to see anyone in tears

I shook my head, stuffed the money from my pocket into her other hand, and said: "I am here to repay the debt. I have already received your gratitude, and you really do not need to give me any money."

I carefully leaned her against the pillar outside the door, hurriedly went to pick up the bag, and took out the medicine to hand it to her

In my life, I have always lacked a father figure to teach me how to grow. After living with the Gu family for two and a half years, I have witnessed how Gu Yuetian dotes on Gu Miyin. Whatever she desires, Gu Yuetian has always been responsive to her requests. No matter how unreasonable or outlandish Gu Miyin's demands may be, Gu Yuetian always finds a way to fulfill them

No one will remain in their original form, whether it is Xu Jingchuan, Meng Xilou, or myself. Everyone is being sculpted by time, and no one knows what the future will look like

Gu Mi Yin smiled sarcastically and said sharply, "Su Xi, what do you think you are? On what basis do you think you can point fingers at me?"

She thought of everything so thoroughly that my nose couldn't help but feel a bit sour, and I choked up as I said: "Thank you, truly thank you..."

She and I were sitting on the bed, and she stared blankly at the bank card. After a while, she lifted her head to look at me, her eyes red, and said: "Xixi, you must work hard. You must become independent as soon as possible and leave the Gu family"

Is the medical expense covered by your friend?

Gu Mi Yin was unaware of what she was doing. Upon seeing me arrive, she hurriedly blocked herself with a book, glared at me, and asked displeasedly, "What are you here for?"

I will take you home His tone was indiscernible

Although she always appears fierce, if you earn her trust, she will respond with sincerity

Meng Xilou lowered her head, fully aware of what Gu Miyin meant, and responded with a soft "mm".

Meng Xilou is an insurmountable hurdle in my life, and there is not much I can do for him; this is all there is.

Xia Han looked at Xu Jingchuan's severed finger and cried bitterly. Xu Jingchuan, despite shedding tears, comforted her, saying: "In the television, a great hero saves a beautiful woman, and that woman will marry him. So, will you marry me after that?"

Gu Yuetian softly reprimanded Gu Miyin: "Eat properly and don't talk."

She walked up to the stage in a few steps

The young man walked up to Xia Han, with one hand tucked into his pants pocket and the other hand extended open, presenting himself in a manner reminiscent of a lord.
