Cao Yang noticed that Xia Rou didn't ask anything about Aunt Fang's resignation.
So he guessed that she must have known.
He had been very busy during this period of time, but he still deliberately found a day to come back early to accompany Xia Rou for a night run.
At the end of the run, I handed her water as usual, and asked her, "Do you know about He Lili?"
Xia Rou was a little surprised, nodded and admitted.
Cao Yang didn't ask how she knew. He frowned and said fiercely to her: "Xia Rou, you are not allowed to imitate her! If you dare to imitate her, I will kill you!"
In previous and future lives, it was the first time that Cao Yang spoke to her so fiercely.
Xia Rou was stunned.
Then, her eyes turned red.
In the previous life, Cao Yang refused to tell her why Aunt Fang left her job, and he never said such a thing to her.
If in his previous life, he could have said to her so fiercely, "If you dare to imitate, I will kill you", she thought, maybe... maybe...
There is nothing maybe, because in life, there is always no "if"...
She had already lived like that in her previous life, and she couldn't change it.
The only thing that can change is this life.
Seeing her red eyes, Cao Yang thought she was frightened or felt wronged, so he couldn't help but soften his heart.
He softened his voice, touched her head, and told her: "You are different from her. You are a girl from our family. If you want anything, if you have any wishes, just tell your family, tell me. Don't go by yourself Random thoughts, you know?"
He thought, girls are so easily dazzled by wealth. When He Lili was a child, she was innocent and cute.
But now, that woman only has vanity and greed for wealth and honor in her eyes.
He couldn't bear Xia Rou's eyes becoming like that.
He likes Xia Rou's clear eyes. By his side, there are not many people who can have such clear eyes. He was born in such a family with a powerful father, that is, his grandfather's family, which is also a powerful family.
It is doomed that there are no simple people around him.
So he likes to come home and see Xia Rou with a simple smile and clear eyes.
He likes to see her wearing simple cotton home clothes at home, showing her thin arms and straight legs, and she has a clean breath from head to toe.
At first, he felt pity for her.
Because he also lost his mother at the same age and can understand the grief.
Then slowly, feeling the girl's quietness, obedience, and simple mind, pity gradually became pity.
His mother had actually always wanted a daughter. Before giving birth to Cao An, I don't know how many times I talked to him, hoping to give him a little sister. Unfortunately, another brat was born. He already has two stinky younger brothers who have robbed him of his mother, and it is not surprising to have one more.
He still remembers that when the fourth brother was young, his mother once gave him long hair and braided it for playing. Even put him through a skirt. Later, it was the father who looked bad and said something, so the mother stopped dressing up the fourth brother like this.
When he looked at Xia Rou again, he felt that she must be the kind of girl his mother wanted.
He actually doesn't mind that Xia Rou is his real sister.
When his mother was still alive, his father and mother had a good relationship, and his father had never cheated. Even after his mother passed away, he refused several very powerful marriages for them.
If he really gave birth to a little sister for them outside, in fact... it's nothing.
When her father gave her to him at first, he just wanted to raise her to adulthood.
But as his sympathy and love for her deepened, he wanted to treat her better.
When he allowed her to call him "big brother" like his brothers, he had already regarded her as his responsibility to do like his brothers.
Who called him, he was born to be an elder brother.
He stroked Xia Rou's head, actually regretted that she was not his own sister. In that case, he could treat her better.
But now is also good. This time, my father personally asked Xia Rou to attend the dinner, which gave her an identity.
No matter whose child she is or what her surname is, she is now from the Cao family.
He was afraid that if she didn't understand this point, like He Lili, the road would go astray in the end.
It should be all right, though, he thought.
With him watching, it won't make her grow crooked.
Xia Rou pursed her lips and said, "I... won't learn from her." In the words, there was a determination that she only understood.
"Good boy." Cao Yang stroked her head, like coaxing a child. "You just need to be obedient."
She just... wants to be obedient...
When she realized that she was reborn, when she saw him again, she thought... This time, everything is at the elder brother's command.
No more, don't make him angry, don't let him worry.
As long as you hold your heart and be obedient, it should be the easiest thing to do.
Xia Rou thought, raised her head, and solemnly agreed: "Okay."
When school starts again, Xia Rou will be a sophomore in high school.
Hu Xuan called Cao Yang: "Several boys are chasing her."
"Brother, everyone says that Xia Rou's surname is actually Cao."
In fact, the relationship between the two of them has always been very good. Hu Xuan was "ordered" to watch Xia Rou at school, and was happy to get closer to Cao Yang because of this.
Cao Yang asked Xia Rou.
Xia Rou herself was still indifferent: "As soon as school started, a few more people seemed to be familiar with me. They may have misunderstood that I am Uncle's child."
Cao Yang laughed.
"It would be great if you were my own sister." He stroked her hair and played around. She can see through the essence of things and not be confused by appearances, so he is relieved.
"Do you want to make it clear to them?" Xia Rou pulled back her hair helplessly.
Probably as long as you are a human being, you will have your own little problems and quirks. For example, Cao Xing controls plush, for example, Cao An eats both men and women. So far, the only one among the four brothers who has not been discovered by Xia Rou to have any special hobbies is the second brother, Cao Bin.
Even the eldest brother who was almost perfect in her mind in the previous life was discovered by her in this life. He... He used to control long hair.
Why didn't he notice this hobby in his previous life
Probably because she has always had short hair that is completely different from Cheng Wan's. It wasn't until she left school that she felt a little more mature than before, and felt that this deliberate distinction was meaningless, so she started to grow her hair long.
But at that time, her relationship with him was not as close as it is now. Every time he sees her, his face is tense. As for her, she could only bow her head and listen to the training.
For some reason, there was always a tension between them.
Obviously, he cared about her so much.
Obviously, she respects him so much.
She still remembered that many times, she made him angry again, and after being reprimanded, she left with her head and shoulders drooping. When closing the door, I can always hear him sighing indistinctly.
Xia Rou couldn't help turning her head to the side, and raised her eyes to stare at Cao Yang.
They sat on a bench under a tree in the atrium. In the crisp autumn weather, the sun is particularly bright.
She took away the smoothness and coolness between his fingers, raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and lifted another lock, wrapping it around his long fingers.
Facing her, his eyebrows were extremely stretched. There is no word "Chuan" that will appear when she sees her in her memory.
He didn't have the stability and fortitude of the head of the Cao family, the domineering ruffian of the prince Cao, and the mature and romantic style of the young master of the Cao family.
At this moment, he was wearing a simple white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, raised his eyebrows and wrapped a lock of her long hair around his fingers to prevent her from pulling it away easily, with a playful look in his eyes.
Thirty-year-old man, in a completely relaxed state, is actually a bit childish.
Xia Rou is also helpless.
She didn't expect that one day, it wasn't Cao Yang who was helpless to her, but she was the one who was helpless to Cao Yang.
"No need." Cao Yang raised his eyebrows and entangled him even tighter. Seeing Xia Rou helplessly grabbing his hair from him, he felt amused.
"Your surname is not Cao. Now, you are all children of the Cao family." He smiled and simply pointed this out.
Xia Rou actually understood.
In the previous life, she longed for the things in the previous life, and when Cao Xiong allowed her to appear publicly at the Cao family's dinner, she understood.
It must be a lie to say that I am not happy. She's just... not as excited and satisfied as she once thought.
Gaining Cao Xiong's recognition in terms of status... Even, seeing Cao Yang teasing her with a relaxed expression beside her now made her feel happier.
Suddenly his scalp tightened, and his head involuntarily tilted towards Cao Yang.
"Also, you don't need to talk to those people. At this stage, you should study hard, and if you want to fall in love, wait until college." Cao Yang said.
Xia Rou glanced at it and said angrily, "Let go, it hurts."
Cao Yang wrapped a strand of her hair around her finger, and the more she wrapped it, the shorter it became.
He looked at it with a smile: "No effort."
For some reason, he really likes to tease her.
She was always soft and almost never got angry with him.
Many times, it would actually make him aware of her "helplessness".
It seems that she is the one, watching the beloved child mischievous, and helpless adults... It's so funny!
He loves teasing her more and more.
The scene of Xia Rou being teased by Cao Yang like a kitten, and helplessly and angrily grabbing her hair with him fell into Cao An's eyes.
"What are you doing, what are you doing!" He walked over and sat down between the two of them.
An elbow rested on the elder brother's shoulder with one hand, and Xiarou put his arm around Xia Rou with the other.
Cao Yang: "..."
Xia Rou: "..."
The two of them had the same aspirations and lifted his stinky dog's paw from their shoulders.
"So free today? How could you stay with your family on weekends?" Cao Yang wondered.
His fourth brother, he is still young, not yet determined, and still has a lot of playfulness. It is quite rare to be able to appear at home during the daytime on weekends.
Cao An snorted.
Xia Rou knew him very well, and at a glance, she guessed that he was probably having trouble with He Chengzhe.
She sighed slightly in her heart, and stood up: "You talk, I'm going back to the room."
"Hey, I'll be with you..." Cao An just left the wooden chair with his buttocks, and asked his elder brother to press his shoulders back.
That hand is like an iron hoop. It brought back many painful memories of Cao An's childhood that were not pleasant.
"Why did you go to you?" Cao Yang frowned. I didn't notice it before, but now I do, I feel that Cao An and Xia Rou are a little too close. "Miss Xiaorou, don't keep running into her room."
It seems that it wasn't you who was playing with the big girl's hair just now.
Cao An only dared to slander his elder brother in his heart.
He was very unhappy with He Chengzhe, so he came home early and wanted to chat with Xia Rou. Since he wanted to keep this matter from Cao Xiong, he didn't dare to let outsiders know about it. Otherwise, it will reach Cao Xiong's ears sooner or later.
Of course, he didn't dare to let the elder brother who was like a copy of his father know.
In the end, the Xia Rou he was looking for ran away, but he was held here by his elder brother, not to mention how depressed he was.
Afraid that his elder brother would pay attention to his affairs, he followed his elder brother's words and said, "You also know that Xiaorou is a big girl. That's why you don't avoid suspicion."
Cao Yang increased the strength in his hands calmly, and he let go only when he was satisfied to see his younger brother grinning his teeth but not daring to cry out the pain.
"Avoid a ghost." He lit a cigarette, "I'm fourteen years older than her, looking at her is like looking at a child."
