02.

The other party remained silent for a long time and did not speak.

At this point, I gave Mu Shaobai a phone call.

Ling Haochen looked at me and smiled, with a hint of elusive expression in his eyes.

Because my mind has always been focused on Ling Haochen, I didn't notice the gradually rising tensions and conflicts at home. At first, I only knew that Ji Ming didn't get into the school that Ji Dahai wanted, and then Ji Dahai used his connections to find a vocational school for him, but Ji Ming didn't want to go to vocational school at all.

I walked over with a frown and pulled Ji Ming over, reprimanding him: "Ji Ming, just tell me whether you will attend the school that your father found for you or not? Although the system is different from other schools, you can learn both skills and knowledge. Will you go or not? If you don't go, then go find a job on your own and don't ask for a penny from home."

I looked up at the moon and honestly said, "Thinking about the past and the present."

"Actions speak louder than words." I, Zhao Jiming, extended my finger.

Lu Qiqi set up the wine and sat down, saying, "There were too many people just now, now let's have a few drinks together." As she said that, she handed me a bottle of beer.

My tone slowed down as I looked at Jì Míng, who seemed a bit scared, and said, "Don't worry, sister won't make fun of you. If anyone does, I won't let them get away with it."

After a while, Ling Haochen and two others climbed up with fruits and beer.

Ma Wenjuan's eyebrows twitched with anger, and she immediately pointed the gun at Ji Dahai. "Alright, Ji Dahai, look at the well-educated daughter you're so proud of! Look at your so-called good daughter!"

Time is like a gear, it keeps turning, as if taking us back to the starting point. Grandma, it seems like my Superman has returned. Has he returned, does that mean he will never leave again?

Nothing, just looking at practice questions.

No problem, please continue.

Luo Qiqi, who was confused, shouted, "What are you doing, Ling Haochen?"

Mu Shaobai chuckled twice and said softly, "I understand, go rest early."

"Hello?" Mu Shaobai's voice was a bit hoarse.

When I was at home in the evening, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. It was already 11 o'clock, and when my heart started to panic, I thought of Mu Shaobai. I remembered what he told me that day: "When you transform from boredom to happiness, you will definitely lose something."

I followed Ling Haochen's footsteps and occasionally stepped on his feet, but he didn't mind at all.

Don't go. "Don't leave. I have a headache. Stay and chat with me. By the way, did you contact me for a reason?"

I heard Mu Shaobai take a deep breath over there, as if he moved his phone far away.

Sorry. I apologize with some embarrassment.

I won't let her drink! She can only drink... unless you all get me drunk! Ling Haochen said, then smirked triumphantly.

Although all of them, except Mu Shaobai, are studying as amateurs, they still have to go through the graduation exam after all. I don't have the heart to disturb them, so most of the time I go to school and come back alone. As they become graduates, the teachers also become stricter in their management.

My face turned red, he took a step back, and made a gesture towards me: "Can I ask you to dance?"

But after not seeing them for a long time, I suddenly missed them, thinking of Luo Qiqi, thinking of Ling Haochen. My heart was suddenly gripped, Ling Haochen has become so important in my heart.

I remained silent for a long time, then said, "I am very happy now."

Mu Shaobai heard and lightly said, "What's the difference between the past and the present?"

No problem, I'll teach you. Ling Haochen walked over, gently holding my hand, and his other hand wrapped around my waist.

I'm not sure where to start with you... I can only stare at you blankly.

Ji Dahai was holding a feather duster at home, while Ma Wenjuan tightly hugged Ji Ming by the side.

I exhaled and took a deep breath before speaking, "I remember what you said to me at the ball, Mu Shaobai. I feel..." I paused for a moment before continuing, "I think I have different feelings towards Ling Haochen."

I gave her a glare and said, "You are my father's second wife. We have no blood relationship at all. Why should I be polite to someone like you?"

Lu Qiqi was so angry that she couldn't speak. Did Ling Haochen get drunk? Even if Lu Qiqi, Mu Shaobai, and Yang Yanxiao were combined, they still couldn't outdrink Ling Haochen.

Not polite enough. Yang Yan smiled and ran over to sit between me and Mu Shaobai, grumbling as he put the heavy fruit basket in his hand on the ground.

I don't know how to dance the waltz, so I didn't join the crowd. I walked along the dining table, tasting every food that could be eaten, I was too hungry.

I was about to catch it, but Ling Haochen snatched it away with quick eyes and hands.

Girl.Behind me came the voice of Ling Haochen. He snapped his fingers, then leaned against my back and reached out to remove the mask from my face.

I chuckled inwardly, but inexplicably moved.

The ginkgo tree outside the classroom seems to have grown another circle, with its leaves lush green. Stepping into September, it's almost autumn, right? By that time, these leaves should all turn yellow.

Don't tell him yet," I said hastily.

I thought for a moment and continued, "I'm not sure what you mean by 'loss', but I believe that while I haven't experienced it yet, I should cherish what I have."

What are you doing? Do you still want to fight with Jiming? It's already difficult for the child not to get into a good school. Mawenjuan blindly protects her son.

I stood up and left them behind, overlooking this strange yet familiar city. A plane flew past the horizon and disappeared into the clouds.

I have no hope for Ma Wenjuan's worldview anymore. I put down the book and said, "Dad, don't argue with her, she's very unreasonable."

Ji Ming suddenly raised his head, disdainfully refusing to shake hands with me, and said, "If you want to protect me, forget about it."

Upon hearing this, I smiled. I turned to look at Ji Dahai, and his brow also slowly relaxed.

It's really annoying.

Ji Ming raised his head and looked at me.

There were many people who came to attend the party, and I didn't know many of them. Everyone was wearing masks. A long row of dining tables was set up at the venue, with a variety of drinks, cocktails, and snacks and fruits on them. The people present were dressed in various formal attire and wore masks of all kinds.

I know, I have already given up. "I sneered.

Quite good, actually Haochen is really excellent. Moreover, if he knew that you liked him, he would definitely be extremely happy...

Ling Haochen continued to dance with me, humming the theme song of "Legend of the Alien" softly in my ear. I followed his steps and a smile appeared on my face.

Ling Haochen smiled and said, "When I was a child, I almost lost my life to you. Do you think I care if you step on me a few times?"

At the end of the dance, I secretly ran to the rooftop to enjoy the night view alone.

If I hadn't met Ling Haochen, would I not have met so many people? Would I still be tying my hair in a ponytail like before, suppressing my inner desire for freedom, and living a monotonous life day and night?

Tsk. Ling Haochen snatched it again, pointing to his own abdomen and winked at me, "You can't drink, don't be disobedient."

Mawenjuan is a shrew, insisting, "Right? You're just embarrassed that Jiming didn't get into a good school."

Ling Haochen said, "Qing Nian cannot drink."

I looked up at Ling Haochen, who was still arguing with Luo Qiqi. Is this careful protector of mine really the extraterrestrial Superman who rescued me from the river years ago? Yes, they look so alike.

The moon is very round, and the lights in the distance are particularly bright. I really like nights like this, they are quiet enough and allow people to imagine scenes that they dare not imagine in those days.

"Shut up!" I glared at her fiercely, "I respect you as my elder, that's why I didn't lay a hand on you!"

After the unique dance party ended, I moved up to the second grade, which meant that Ling Haochen and his friends were about to graduate.

I learned from the scene I saw in the TV drama, and placed my other hand on his shoulder.

No problem, I can do it.I don't want to spoil Luo Qiqi's mood, so I'll go get another bottle.

Ji Dahai had been holding a grudge in his heart for a long time. Since Ma Wenjuan brought Ji Ming to our home, Ji Dahai has been equally strict with Ji Ming and me. The only difference is that he uses different methods to educate them because one is a boy and the other is a girl. However, he truly regards Ji Ming as his own son. Nowadays, Ji Ming is out of control under the "protection" of his mother, and he has not grown up at all. Naturally, Ji Dahai is extremely angry.

I will protect him for a lifetime. This is my son!

I immediately thought of the scene when I first met Ling Haochen, and in an instant, it all became clear. Could it be that he remembered the time when I had my period? Thinking of this, my face turned hot.

I suddenly stopped moving, my whole body felt like it was being electrocuted.

Ling Haochen, dressed in a tailcoat, exudes a special charm. With a black eye mask on, he appears quite mysterious and handsome.

What are you in a hurry for? Luo Qiqi complained.

After hanging up the phone, I peacefully lay down in bed. Setting aside my worries for now, drowsiness slowly crept in, bidding farewell to the night that made my heart flutter like a startled deer.

I am hesitating: "I can't."

Mu Shaobai didn't ask anything else after seeing my response.

I tightly held onto my phone and asked softly, "Did I disturb you? Why don't you start working on the questions first? I'll hang up for now and we can talk later."

Ji Dahai's fist had bulging veins, and he coughed while holding his chest in anger.

I don't like Ma Wenjuan, but I care a lot about Ji Ming, because no matter how much he messes around outside or causes trouble, he always listens to me.

The sound of climbing came from the iron ladder. I turned my head and saw Mu Shaobai, dressed in knight's armor. He saw me sitting on the ground and came over to sit with me, saying, "What are you thinking?"

Ma Wenjuan immediately became excited when I said this, and her words were full of sarcasm: "Hey, you little girl, I am your elder! Do you understand manners? Have you wasted your years of studying?"

Okay.

What's wrong with you? I asked anxiously.

In the words of Mu Shaobai, he said, "When you transform from boredom to happiness, you will definitely lose something."

I turned back slightly and met his gaze perfectly.

Ji Qingnian, when is it your turn to manage this family?

Did you fall asleep? I was startled and disturbed him.

Qingnian is my proud daughter! If Jiming had even a little bit of his sister's appearance and could get into a good school, I wouldn't have to worry so much about him! Ji Dahai sat down on the stool after scolding, breathing heavily.

Ji Da Hai was so angry that he threw the feather duster on the ground, stomped on it fiercely, and blamed Ma Wenjuan, "It's all because you spoil your son too much! If you were stricter with him and didn't let him go out and mess around, would his grades be so poor? Ignorant! Ignorant mother! Can you protect him for a lifetime?"

I have always been submissive to Ma Wenjuan, but today I am really upset and need to vent. Ma Wenjuan seems hesitant to speak to me, as I am not my usual self.
