Chapter 1, Zhang Xuan's Birthday.
In the middle of the night, I quietly picked up the phone connected to her home doorbell. I knew that my mother would never hear my words, but I still cried and said to the other end of the phone, "Mom, please come back and pick me up quickly. I don't want Dad anymore, I don't want a complete family. I just want you, I just want a mother who loves me. Please, don't let me become an orphan..."
Don't worry, all my friends are elites. If we talk about useless people, don't we have one in our own family?
Aunt forgot, it was the huge sum of money left by mom that changed their family's life. They used mom's money to buy a big house, bought a small car. They also used the remaining money to start a business and made a fortune. People change when they have money, and my aunt has become increasingly dislikeable towards me.
Adolescence, it is inevitable to have desires for the opposite sex. Zhang Xuan, she makes me feel very cheap.
My family is a bit special. I have never seen my father since I was born. My mother is always absent-minded and ignores me. When I was five years old, I had a serious illness. My mother was at a loss and held me in the hospital, looking so helpless. Later, I recovered from the illness, but it left behind some complications.
In the blink of an eye, I am eighteen years old. I am tall and handsome. Zhang Xuan is the same age as me, and she has turned into a genuine beauty. Her soft long hair and delicate oval face. Her snow-white skin makes her look like a porcelain doll. Especially her two long and slender beautiful legs, often making me unable to help but swallow my saliva. I often fantasize about winning her over, pleading with my eyes. Especially her two long and slender beautiful legs, often making me unable to help but swallow my saliva. I often fantasize about winning her over, pleading with my eyes.
In an instant, my face became flushed. The person abruptly turned around and stuffed her belongings into her pocket. The bathroom grew even darker, and I couldn't see her face at all. I could only feel my heart pounding, and I nervously held my breath, afraid to make any sudden movements.
Because her family is wealthy, Zhang Xuan dresses in a fashionable and trendy manner. In the bathroom, there are always her silk stockings and delicate clothes hanging, attracting my attention. Whenever they make me angry, I always sneakily take Zhang Xuan's things to do something mischievous.
And so, I wandered outside for a whole day. I went to an internet cafe to watch others play games, and slept in a nearby small park. When night fell, I was dizzy and lightheaded from hunger.
My uncle's business is getting bigger and bigger, while my aunt and her daughter, Zhang Xuan, are becoming more and more disgusted with me. They often mock me when my uncle is not at home. Whenever I dare to show any dissatisfaction, my aunt would fiercely hit me with a fly swatter, while Zhang Xuan laughs happily on the side.
It was probably too dark in the bathroom, she didn't recognize me. I had to nod randomly and point outside with my finger, hoping she would leave soon.
My mother's spirit is increasingly confused, often muttering my father's name. She said to me, "If your father were here, you wouldn't have become like this. I will find him and give you a complete family."
She took me to a distant relative's house and bought me a lot of toys. When she was about to leave, she suddenly hugged me and cried with grievance. My eyes were a little confused, not knowing that I had become an orphan.
Auntie dislikes me and sees me as a thorn in her side. Gradually, the little girl also started to dislike me, just like Auntie. The little girl talks very fast, sometimes even more annoying than adults. She has given me many nicknames, calling me a sickly child, a beggar, a jinx, and an orphan.
Fortunately, my aunt is somewhat humane. She allowed me to attend school and be in the same class as Zhang Xuan. However, Zhang Xuan never speaks to me in class and even pretends not to know me. She often leads others to exclude me and calls me an orphan without parents.
Standing downstairs at Zhang Xuan's house, I could hear them partying non-stop. Beautiful women and handsome men kept running back and forth in front of the window, and the noise inside the house was extremely loud. Meanwhile, I could only squat and wait downstairs, feeling helpless. After they had enough fun and left, I sneaked back home to grab a bite.
Gradually, my eyes adapted to the brightness in the darkness. I saw several people lying in the living room, sound asleep. The thought of them having a great time today while I had to endure hunger immediately filled me with hatred. I decided to retaliate by going to the bathroom to find Zhang Xuan's silk stockings.
She is celebrating her birthday, her parents must have gone to a resort for vacation. Meanwhile, I don't have a single penny on me, and I can't even afford a meal for the whole day. My aunt never gives me pocket money, while my uncle used to secretly give me some before. However, my aunt found out and we had a big fight. I'm afraid my uncle will be in trouble, so I won't spend their money anymore.
In a blink of an eye, it was Zhang Xuan's birthday. On her birthday, she wore a very beautiful dress. The dress was black, which formed a sharp contrast with her snow-white skin.
I have long been accustomed to such treatment. When I walked out, I felt a little lost looking at Zhang Xuan's luxurious mansion. Zhang Xuan's birthday is also the most miserable day for me.
I hate my aunt and Zhang Xuan from the bottom of my heart. If I become rich, I will definitely repay them tenfold!
But, at this moment, I suddenly heard Zhang Xuan's voice. This voice came out of nowhere, her voice was very soft, asking me, "Chen Xun, have they all gone to sleep?"
At this point, I had already grown up. Hearing my aunt's words made me feel sour and uncomfortable.
And I immediately insisted, "I didn't steal it. If I did, I would be a dog!"
When I touched a silk stocking in the bathroom, I instantly became excited. I thought to myself, Zhang Xuan is quite clean, she even washed her stockings after playing so tired today. It feels a bit moist, and there is still Zhang Xuan's body fragrance on it.
This is the money we earned with our own abilities. What does it have to do with her? Aunt openly and shamelessly said in front of me.
Ha ha, I see you as a lazy dog. Zhang Xuan looked at me with disgust and kicked me hard with her foot.
Once, I heard them arguing, and my uncle angrily said, "Enough! If it weren't for Wang Xi's mother, would our family life be this good?"
What are you doing sitting there? Haven't you seen that it's my daughter Xuanxuan's birthday? Don't just stay at home, go out!
Finally, one day, I couldn't help but slap her hard and say, "Zhang Xuan, your whole family are orphans!"
Her classmates haven't left, it seems like they're sleeping over at her house. I was so hungry that I couldn't hold on any longer, so I secretly went back with the key. The room was very dark and there was a strong smell of alcohol. I felt my way to the dining table and found a lot of delicious food, and immediately sat down to eat.
Sweat has already flowed from my forehead to my chin. It was the first time I heard her speak to me in a gentle tone, her sweet voice leaving my mind somewhat blank.
