Zhong Xiyou went to play basketball with his school friends during the day, and when it was dark, he returned home with the basketball in his hands, and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of ice water, seeing that Zhong Youyou and Meng Shixuan were not at home , haven't realized what's wrong yet.
After all, on weekends, Meng Shixuan would go to the library for self-study, while Zhong Youyou and her group of cronies...
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiyou sighed. He felt that when the second sister came back, it was necessary to persuade her not to hang out with the group of friends from the vocational high school.
Of course, Zhong Xiyou in his previous life didn't even think about getting to know Zhong Youyou in the past. He detoured when he saw her.
After being reborn, his eyes fell on Zhong Youyou for a long time, and only after he realized why did the second sister play with those gangsters from the vocational high school.
… because it was so lonely.
Three years ago, she was brought back from Meng Qian by Zhong's father, like a little bumpkin who suddenly broke into a big city, and was out of tune with everything around her. But before she could integrate, she was stuffed into a new noble middle school. At that time, she was only given a card and a series of passwords, and no one even took her to buy some clothes suitable for this city...
Back home, I and my parents treated her coldly again...
Therefore, she can only find a sense of belonging among those gangsters who also can't find a sense of existence, so she can become friends with them.
Thinking of these, Zhong Xiyou felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He even regretted that he went out to play basketball today. He should have stayed at home, with his second sister, to see what she wanted to do, and to do it with her. She has no friends, he can take her to slowly integrate into the school.
He sat down on the sofa, didn't even bother to go back to the room to play games, just pressed the remote control, and waited absent-mindedly for Zhong Youyou to come back.
At eight o'clock in the evening, there was the sound of a car stopping outside. He immediately stood up and opened the door excitedly: "Second Sister, are you back?"
It turned out that Meng Shixuan got out of the car, with big bags and small bags, as if she had gone shopping. The excitement on his face disappeared suddenly, he gave Meng Shixuan a lukewarm look, went back to the living room and continued to wait.
"Xi..." Before Meng Shixuan finished speaking, Zhong Xiyou had already left, and the smile on her face froze.
She clearly felt that the attitudes of her parents and younger brother towards her had undergone a 180-degree change in the past two days, from loving and pampering her to being very impatient with her, and even faintly loathing her. She didn't understand what happened, but she knew that something must have happened, and it was very likely something related to Zhong Youyou, which made their impression of herself worse.
That being the case, she tried her best to please them and eliminate their bad impression of herself.
Meng Shixuan took a deep breath, put a warm smile on her face again, and walked in with the bag.
She didn't believe it at all. There was a fifteen-year relationship between Zhong's family and herself. In the fifteen years before Zhong Youyou appeared, she was their relative. How could she have slept together and asked for warmth for so many years? Misunderstanding, just disappear in smoke
"Xiyou, look at this, the latest model." Meng Shixuan took out the game console.
She knew Zhong Xiyou very well. She usually pretends to be flamboyant and cool, and looks like a stranger. In fact, he is a little boy addicted to games. He has no intentions and is the person who can't hide his thoughts. Starting from him, one might be able to understand why the attitude of parents changed all of a sudden.
Sure enough, it is the latest model.
As soon as Zhong Xiyou's eyes fell on the cool red remote control machine, his eyeballs straightened.
But he is very clear about Meng Shixuan's purpose... I don't know why, if the second sister gave him this new game console now, he would be so happy, but it was Meng Shixuan who gave him, and his enthusiasm was suddenly discounted up. Meng Shixuan understands the preferences and personalities of everyone in the family, and has always been Mother Zhong's caring little padded jacket. After she comes to please herself, she will definitely also please Mother Zhong...
If I still don't stick to the camp and stand on the side of the second sister, what if my parents are softened by her again
Zhong Xiyou's expression changed back and forth, and finally he stood up coldly, and sat aside: "Why are you preparing a gift for me? It's not a birthday or a festival."
Meng Shixuan smiled: "Didn't you touch the gift you were going to give last time and made you unhappy? My sister specially bought your favorite game console, a new one. Try it out. If it's not fun, don't play it."
She even had a perfect smile on the corner of her mouth. Seeing Zhong Xiyou's eyes kept on the game console, she knew in her heart that his brother had softened a bit, so she picked up the game console and handed it over.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Xiyou raised his hand and coldly pushed the game console back.
"Then did you prepare any gift for Second Sister?" Zhong Xiyou looked indifferent, and stared at her with raised eyelids: "The gift I gave to Second Sister last time, you opened it without authorization. If you want to apologize, you should buy it." Give the gift to the second sister to apologize?"
The corners of Meng Shixuan's mouth were completely stiff: "..."
As if being mercilessly splashed with cold water, she said in embarrassment for a long time: "Yuyou, I've prepared it too, and I'll give it to her when she comes back."
"Really?" She didn't buy a gift for the second sister at all.
Zhong Xiyou gave her a mocking look and left.
After being reborn, he really saw many things clearly, for example, Meng Shixuan's hypocrisy. She is good to herself, but it is purposeful, what if she is not worth using? He couldn't help but think of the scene in the car accident. Yes, if she didn't use it, she would forget the fifteen years of her relationship and let go, leaving herself in danger.
She is really easy to get along with wearing a mask like this, but it is far less real than the second sister who is covered in thorns.
…
Sitting on the sofa, Meng Shixuan almost crushed the game console box, her fingers turned white, and her downcast eyes flashed a gloomy look that did not match her gentle and generous appearance.
Why, even though she was so submissive, Zhong Xiyou still has this attitude? He obviously likes that game console, but can he hold back for Zhong Youyou
The hour hand turned to half past nine, and Zhong Youyou hadn't come back yet, Zhong Xiyou couldn't sit still. In fact, the second sister had learned from the past and didn't come back drunk until midnight, so he was afraid that she would do the same today, and then she would be criticized by Zhong's father again. So he couldn't hold back, and he took the initiative to call Zhong Youyou.
Did not answer, not only did not answer, but also hung up.
Zhong Xiyou: "..."
At this moment, Zhong Youyou's side. She finally left Zhong's house and lived alone in such a big apartment, she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, and she was so happy that she did a radio gymnastics on the bed! Seeing Zhong Xiyou's call, he hung up without thinking.
So cool! Before wearing the book, she was an orphan, and she lived in a small house with her girlfriends. She had no money to eat, and often only ordered hot pot once after winning the competition prize. She didn’t dare to order more ingredients, fearing that it would exceed the budget , but now...
She turned on the TV and lay down on the sofa, feeling hungry.
Qin Yao said that this place is very safe at night, and Zhong Youyou is not afraid, so he put on his trousers, put on his slippers and went downstairs. There is a snack street around, which is quite bustling. This is the bustling time, the street is full of people, and there are all kinds of stinky tofu skewers.
Zhong Youyou's eyes shine!
Sure enough, she still has to eat these to be down-to-earth, and her stomach will growl with greed. She has no appetite at all for those light abalone and chicken wings at Zhong's house, and she is about to starve to death now.
She ordered a lot, and sat down to eat at a small shop near the window.
When the mouth was full of oil, he smashed his mouth and felt a little lonely when he was eating skewers by himself, so he didn't forget to take a few selfies and send them to Qin Yao.
She didn't know that Zhong's father and Zhong's mother had also finished their business talks at this moment, and came back exhausted from the banquet, but after sitting down for a while, she learned that Zhong Youyou hadn't returned home in the middle of the night, and the Zhong family almost Turned the sky upside down.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Father Zhong's first reaction was the same as Zhong Xiyou's. Zhong Youyou probably went to drink with her gangster friends again, and the veins on his forehead twitched. He felt that this child was really worried: "Call her and tell her to come back quickly, it's so dangerous outside at this late hour!"
Zhong Xiyou handed over the mobile phone: "I have called many times, but my sister knocked it down."
His face was a bit ugly, and he didn't know whether to say: "Steward, tell me."
The butler also wiped off his sweat, and said: "The young master of the Qin family came today and helped the second lady move some things away. At that time, the servants were eating and didn't pay attention to what was moved. Could it be..."
In an instant, Zhong's father and Zhong's mother had a thunderbolt at the same time, could Zhong Youyou run away from home? !
Father Zhong went upstairs with a pale face, Mother Zhong felt dizzy when she stood up, Meng Shixuan hurriedly supported her, but she broke away from Meng Shixuan's hand as if she hadn't seen Meng Shixuan by her side Go upstairs.
Zhong Youyou's room was naturally locked.
"Housekeeper, bring the key." Father Zhong took the key, inserted it two or three times before aligning it, and opened the door of the room.
Zhong's father, Zhong's mother, Zhong Xiyou, all stood at the door of the room, looking at the empty room... No, it's not completely empty, the bed and furniture have not been removed, and there are some clothes that Zhong's mother gave Zhong Youyou in the closet, Zhong Youyou also no. Only the ones that Zhong Youyou often wears, and the pile that she bought home a few days ago, are all gone.
Missing is Zhong Youyou.
In an instant, as if they had been hit head-on with a sap, their minds were muddled, and their hearts fell straight down...
They never imagined that Zhong Youyou actually left this house!
In the past three years, Zhong Youyou ran out several times, but they didn't take it seriously. Zhong's mother even taunted her annoyedly: "Where can you go? Your adoptive mother doesn't want you anymore. Only the Zhong family can support you. Don't be a fool." It's gone." So, every time Zhong Youyou ran out with red eyes, she finally came back disheartened.
Therefore, they never thought that Zhong Youyou would even move his things away one day.
Moved so neatly, without leaving a trace of emotion, the empty room hurt people's eyes, as if a piece of their heart was suddenly cut out, making them breathless.
Mother Zhong's face turned pale, her legs went limp, and she almost slipped to the ground. He was supported by Zhong Xiyou, who also had an ugly face, and Meng Shixuan went downstairs to sit on the sofa.
For some reason, Zhong Xiyou had a faint feeling that the second sister left home this time and would never come back again...
This time is different from before.
The former second sister was rebellious and rebellious, but it can be seen that she cares about them very much, even, not only caring, but also madly and paranoidly wanting their love...
But now the second sister looks at them like strangers, without any emotion.
Therefore, Father Zhong's face was blue, and when he called Qin Yao, he also sat on the side in a daze, couldn't hold back, and inserted his fingers into his hair. He felt that even if his father found the second sister, the second sister might not come back. His lips were tightly closed, and his heart throbbed with pain.
"How?" Mother Zhong wiped her tears and said, "Why did she pack up her things and leave so suddenly, I haven't had time to show her to the new room..."
Father Zhong and Zhong Xiyou were both in a bad mood, and didn't pay attention to what she was rambling about.
Only Meng Shixuan who was sitting in the corner had her nails almost dug into her palm. Zhong Youyou, all of them are Zhong Youyou. She also prepared gifts for Zhong's father and Zhong's mother, and picked them all day, but before they had time to send them out, Zhong Youyou made another fuss, diverting everyone's attention!
"Hello, Young Master Qin?" Father Zhong heaved a sigh of relief when the phone was finally connected.
The voice on the other end of the phone was cold and indifferent: "What's the matter?"
Qin Yao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the photo Zhong Youyou just sent, the redness in his ears hadn't dissipated yet. His fingers were still on the reply box, not knowing how to reply. This was the first time in history that Zhong Youyou took the initiative to send him a message, and his eyes shone with joy, embarrassment, and a little bit of caution.
"Looks good." Deleted again. Is it too frivolous
If only he knew that Zhong Youyou always liked Shi Zhitang because of Shi Zhitang's things. Then he now knows how to respond.
Qin Yao lowered his eyes, covering all his emotions.
Delete all inappropriate words word by word, and finally enter "go home early."
send.
He took a deep breath, and felt that such a reply was foolproof, but after a while, before Zhong Youyou replied, he was a little uneasy, whether he was too old as a cadre, Zhong Youyou hated such instructions the most.
But it was too late, all the hair was sent.
Otherwise, send something in the past and continue the chat. He has never chatted with Zhong Youyou...
Qin Yao's eyes were a bit sad. He was wearing a bathrobe and his hair hadn't dried yet. He just waited wholeheartedly for Zhong Youyou's reply, but unexpectedly a phone call came in halfway. One can imagine his depression.
Father Zhong was considered Qin Yao's elder, and he was anxious in his heart, so he asked directly: "Do you know where Yoyo is now?"
Qin Yao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly found a topic to talk to Zhong Youyou.
He typed quickly: "Yuyou, uncle called me and asked where you are?"
As soon as this message was sent, Zhong Youyou, who was eating skewers with a mouth full of oil, was taken aback. Why did Zhong's father call Qin Yao to ask Qin Yao? Didn't Zhong's family never ignore him when the original owner ran away from home before? ? She quickly wiped her hands and replied to him.
"Just say you don't know!!!"
Three exclamation points, so cute.
Qin Yao smiled and pursed his lips, and replied coldly to Father Zhong on the other end of the phone: "I don't know, she only asked me to pick her up, and I don't know where she went after getting off the car."
"Okay, thank you." Father Zhong didn't doubt him, after all, he was the third young master of the Qin family, so he had no reason to lie to himself, he would never hide Zhong Youyou.
But where did Zhong Youyou go at such a late night? Thinking of the disasters that happened to Zhong Youyou in his previous life, he almost went crazy!
"I'll go find it by car." He immediately stood up and picked up his coat.
Mother Zhong's face was pale, and when she saw this, she wanted to follow along, but was stopped by Zhong Xiyou: "Mom, you don't seem to be in good condition, take a rest first, I will ask the driver Lao Zhao to drive, and I will go find it separately with Dad."
"Why don't I go together?" Mother Zhong felt so uncomfortable that she choked up her words.
But she was stopped in the end, and her legs felt weak when she stood up, so she had no choice but to stay and watch Father Zhong and Zhong Xiyou split up to find her.
Only then did she realize how ignorant she was of Yoyo. Not only did she not know what she liked to eat, but she didn't even know who her friends were or where she was going right now...
Haven't they ever worried about Yoyo before
When Mother Zhong thought of this, she couldn't stop crying, and her heart felt like being pricked by a needle.
Here, until half past ten, no one was found. Father Zhong and Zhong Xiyou simply got into a car and asked the assistant to check the monitoring to narrow the scope as much as possible. I don't know if they were lucky, the car was parked on the road, and when waiting for the red light, Zhong Xiyou suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure from the car window.
He rubbed his tired eyes, looked again, and choked for breath: "Dad, look quickly, is that the second sister?"
I saw that Zhong Youyou was pulling slippers, wearing a cool strap, and eating pancakes and fruits recklessly while walking, and there were more than a dozen skewers of barbecue in the plastic bag hanging from his wrist...
After crossing the road, I even put on my earphones, jumped up and down, threw the finished pancake fruit leather bag into the trash can, and took a breath of the smell of barbecue with happiness...
Father Zhong looked in the direction Zhong Xiyou pointed, and was stunned for a moment, then his face changed a little bit.
No, why is Yoyo so happy after she ran away from home...
