Chapter 4, we are all too insignificant to obstruct the arrival of fate

Xia Ping'an, you are becoming increasingly degenerate! You have abandoned even your few remaining principles for Xu Zhuo! If this continues, who knows when Xu Zhuo will dare to openly bring a mistress before you, forcing you to step aside and yield your position!

However, I have never fallen for his tricks. The hand holding the cotton swab pressed against the boy's wound actually increased the pressure. In front of his followers, with Xu Zhuo's violent temper, he should have jumped up and killed someone at this moment. Yet, in front of me, the most he could do was to leave my jurisdiction, running around the room, making a fuss about not wanting to continue, and shouting loudly.

However, Xia Ping'an, your qualifications are unlikely to be associated with Liu Dehua in any way... So I feel reassured

That day, Xu Zhuo appeared at the school gate with a purple mark on the corner of his mouth to pick me up after class

Thus, it was solely for his words that I crazily ran home that day, desperately pleading with my mother to get me a mobile phone as well. My thoughts at that time were very simple; I did not want Xu Zhuo to be in need of me while I could not be by his side in time. I thought that even if one day he were to die unexpectedly on the street, the first person to go and collect his body should be me, and only me. My thoughts at that time were very simple; I did not want Xu Zhuo to be in need of me while I could not be by his side in time. I thought that even if one day he were to die unexpectedly on the street, the first person to go and collect his body should be me, and only me.

This day is absolutely impossible to occur! Even if it were to happen, it would be many years later, when He Xuanzhuo and I have already formed a family, living a mundane life filled with the trivialities of daily life. It would be too boring, so he specifically went to find a mistress to bring home for me to tease and humiliate

Xu Zhuo, I have heard that during pregnancy, one should look at pictures of handsome men and beautiful women more often, as this will result in giving birth to good-looking children. Therefore, when I am pregnant in the future, please do not let me see you! Otherwise, I might give birth to a child with a bruised face, which would surely frighten the doctor!

At that time, Xu Zhuo already had a mobile phone, a classic Nokia bar model. When I asked him what the use of consuming such a "high-end" product was, he casually replied, "This way, you can find me anytime."

Thus, the first possession I had was that bright red telephone, which was commonly seen on the streets. The moment I received the phone, I simultaneously sent a text message to Pei Mingzhu and Xu Zhuo. To this day, I still cannot forget the excitement I felt at that time, akin to receiving my first toy as a child, tasting my first scoop of ice cream, or buying my first bucket of popcorn

At first, I also made great efforts to stop it, just like all the tragic heroines, I cried and made a fuss, pleading that this was not good, asking what I would do if something happened to you. However, the effectiveness usually lasted only a few days.

Since then, I have grown weary of entangling myself with him over the same topic, a topic that will never progress. Faced with his heartless jokes, I compromised. In this regard, Pei Mingzhu strongly disagreed. On the way home from school, she poked my head vigorously, as if my head were a fragrant coconut and her hand a straw, simultaneously inflicting pain while earnestly trying to teach me.

Yes, at that time, the precocious me had already determined in my heart that I would marry Xu Zhuo in the future, no matter if he was a chicken or a dog, I would do everything possible to marry into the Xu family. And Xu Zhuo seemed to enjoy my words very much, so he sat back down in front of me, smiling with a grin.

So, if life could be reset to factory settings, would I still choose to meet Xu Zhuo?

In fact, the questions I asked were merely intended to satirize his actions and youthful arrogance, but Xu Zhuo seemed unaware of a technique called irony. He even lifted his shirt and pant legs slightly in a manner that suggested he was trying to prove his innocence, and with great seriousness, he said to me

When I had lost count of how many times I had seen Xu Zhuoqing appear before me with a swollen face, I began to stop asking him if he was injured or if there were any cuts. Instead, I casually inquired in a tone as if discussing the weather whether any bones were broken or if his lungs had been pierced

At the dining table, I finally mustered the courage to request to use my phone. After some contemplation, my mother agreed, but at the same time, she asked me to make a concession.

Years have passed, and the sweetness of popcorn has become even sweeter, yet it is no longer pure. That bright red little communication device has vanished from the market. Although there are countless alternatives to replace it, I still cling to the memories of the past with a sense of lingering nostalgia. I am a person who is too stubborn, and this point was indeed pointed out by Pei Mingzhu.

On that day, just as Xu Zhuo was enduring my beating, his phone began to ring incessantly. He took the phone out of his pocket, glanced at the caller ID, and then ran into the living room with a strange expression to answer it

I secretly delighted in my mother's clever scheme to make my father happy, while also feeling self-satisfied for having thoroughly grasped the essence of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Comrade Xia Ren flamboyantly wrote his name in the lower right corner of the exam paper and then asked, "An An, isn't your Chinese teacher the most responsible one? She is the only one who always calls you back to have your parents sign."

That feeling is akin to firmly believing that there truly was an affair between Bush and Saddam, while simultaneously being convinced that they would never "break up"

The Mingzhu family has always been our stronghold, as her parents are often away on business, leaving Mingzhu alone in the house for most of the time. Due to the numerous incidents involving Xu Zhuo's injuries, I had the foresight to stock up on various medical supplies at Mingzhu's home for emergencies. As usual, I dragged Xu Zhuo with one hand while rushing towards her house, meeting the piercing gaze of Pei Mingzhu.

Upon returning home, I found my mother in the kitchen preparing a meal. At first, I did not want to raise any suspicions; instead, I took out the Chinese test paper on which I had just performed well and pretended to ask my mother to sign it. As I expected, when my mother saw that red number, her eyes instantly lit up with joy, and she similarly called out my father's name in a playful manner.

Xia Ren, please come and sign your daughter's exam paper, I can't free my hands right now

Xu Zhuo, the child you have with Ping An Sheng resembles Liu Dehua, why do I find this statement increasingly awkward as I hear it...

Of course, that is a must

It seems that in the next moment he is about to pounce on me for a duel

Just as I was speaking passionately, Xu Zhuo turned around and scanned me from top to bottom and left to right, and finally said

I scoffed at Pei Mingzhu's words and responded with a tone of certainty that I had never used in my life before

But I believe that this is how things should be in the world, especially in love. We have the opportunity nurtured since childhood, so what reason do we have not to see it through to the end? Clearly, I was still too young at that time, not understanding that there are too many ways in this world to let each other go.

It is not advisable for a child of your age to spend money extravagantly, but having a communication tool would indeed be more convenient. How about getting a small communication device?

Aside from the bruises on my face, I was not injured at all. Is it really that I am such a fragile person?

Damn it, do you dare to be any heavier?

It is said that loneliness is not innate, but begins when you start to like someone

After hearing Pei Mingzhu's words, Xu Zhuo seemed to finally react and immediately changed his statement

His words struck a chord deep within me, stirring a sense of excitement as if the culmination of our love was about to emerge into the world.

Upon witnessing this scene, my initially restless mood was instantly calmed, and I then naturally spoke out without hesitation

No, my child must resemble me! Even if he is ugly, I will still consider him the most handsome in the world!

Upon hearing this, I let out a few dry laughs and quickly made my way out of the kitchen

Xia Ping'an, the truth is that you don't like me, right? You really don't like me!

Just then, Pei Mingzhu pushed open the door and walked in. She sat down on the edge of the bed and, after watching us two lunatics finish our evening show, she finally spoke up leisurely

When applying the medicinal wine, Xu Zhuo gritted his teeth in pain, appearing particularly childish, cursing while enduring the pain

At that time, I was truly naive, so naive that as the wheels of fate prepared to set in motion for all of us, I foolishly wondered whether God favored me more.

Great, I will buy a bunch of photos of Andy Lau and Brigitte Lin for you to see every day
