Since Hu Xuan left, the weather has become hotter day by day.
The homework of the second year of high school was already heavy, and Xia Rou gradually felt it was difficult.
Cao's family knew that she was not smart enough, and they didn't expect much from her grades. But it is still gratifying to see her caring about her studies and knowing how to work hard.
On weekends, Cao Yang took her to other people's dance parties to relax.
There she met Wang Man for the second time. Although Cao Yang and Wang Man were polite and courteous, they didn't seem to be closer or more familiar than before. Still like a stranger with nothing to do.
In fact, she didn't know what the relationship between Cao Yang and Wang Man was like before marriage. When she met Wang Man for the first time, it was Cao Yang who formally brought Wang Man back to Cao's house to meet Cao Xiong.
At that time, Wang Man was already Cao Yang's girlfriend.
They got engaged right away. The wedding was held seven months later, and Wang Man became Cao Yang's wife and sister-in-law.
Cao Yang found that Xia Rou was present again, and his eyes followed Wang Man. Her mind-wandering problem has not changed at all.
However, she seems to have always been particularly interested in Wang Man. I also inquired about Wang Man at Cao An's place.
"Why are you so interested in her?" he asked.
Xia Rou's heart skipped a beat, she thought for a while and said, "She is my goddess."
"Goddess?" Cao Yang laughed.
"I'm worried about whether I can get into the undergraduate course," Xia Rou sighed greatly, "He's a master's degree from an Ivy League school."
Originally, he was dealing with Cao Yang, but while talking, he really substituted himself.
Except for Wang Man's attitude towards her, Wang Man is really a goddess in every aspect.
Cao Yang also discovered early on that Xia Rou is always a bit inferior in front of people with good heads. She yearns for smart people.
She actually studies very hard. According to Cao An, it seems that she is a little afraid that they will dislike her because of her poor grades.
Cao Yang thinks that this is just an adolescent child's cranky thinking looking for trouble.
They have seen a lot of girls who are not smart.
Some are squeamish, some are hypocritical, some are arrogant, and some are simply stupid, ignorant of current affairs, and have no winks. Most of these annoying shortcomings are related to insufficient IQ.
Xia Rou is indeed not smart, but surprisingly, she hardly has any of these shortcomings.
And she has a rare and valuable advantage for people who are not smart enough, that is, she has self-knowledge.
If you know where you are short, and if you are unsure of what to do, ask them. Willing to listen to advice, willing to obey arrangements, obedient.
Such a person, even if he can't do things well, he won't mess around.
What smart people hate the most is actually not stupid people, but those who are stupid and want to pretend to be smart without knowing it.
Fortunately, Xia Rou is not this kind.
Because of this, both father and son will like Xia Rou.
The person in their family who is the most difficult to open up with others is probably the second child. But even the second child nodded when he talked about Xia Rou: "She's a good girl."
In fact, she didn't have to work so hard at all.
With the Cao family here, her future has long been guaranteed.
But seeing her working hard, who would not like it, and who would stop another child from making progress. Naturally, he encouraged her even more.
Seeing her frowning, pursing her mouth, and feeling depressed because of being crushed by the comparison of IQ, Cao Yang sighed slightly in his heart.
She's a silly girl, she's a good girl.
He stubbed out the cigarette and flicked her forehead: "Go, let's dance."
Xia Rou's dance was practiced hard in her previous life. Just because Cao Yang would occasionally take her to such occasions.
After the stage, he was praised by Cao Yang: "Dancing well."
She pursed her lips and smiled.
Being so close, Cao Yang could clearly see that her skin was as white and tender as an egg with its shell removed.
The pupils are black, but the eyes are clear.
What Cao Yang likes the most is her pink lips like petals.
He raised his head and exhaled slightly.
The subordinates still couldn't help hugging Xia Rou tighter.
Just as he thought, Xia Rou's waist is really hard to grasp.
The occasion is wrong and the person is wrong. If another woman had such a waist, Cao Yang would have to measure it with his own hands.
But this is Xiarou...
Pity.
Xia Rou only knows that Cao Yang has long hair. What she didn't know was that everyone in the circle knew that Prince Cao... had better have a thin waist.
She was completely unaware of Cao Yang's slight hormonal changes.
She is still too naive.
Her knowledge of the creature "man" comes from Liang Zihuan.
Her fiancé also wanted to have a good figure and good looks. She is about the same age as her.
This age naturally has the physiological needs of this age.
What Xia Rou has been worrying about is how to refuse Liang Zihuan's request.
It was a marriage of her choice. When she was twenty-three, she got engaged, and it was agreed that she would get married when she was twenty-five.
In those two years, Liang Zihuan courted several times. Xia Rou refused and insisted on leaving that matter until after marriage.
At one point in high school she was so disgusted that she couldn't have physical contact with the opposite sex. But facing the fiancé she obtained at the expense of her elder brother's wishes, she could only hold back and compromise.
Liang Zihuan cured this problem quite a bit. Anyway, he could finally bear kisses and touches.
But for Xia Rou, it has never been a pleasant feeling.
Because she lived alone, Liang Zihuan was not allowed to go to her apartment casually. Also try to avoid going to Liang Zihuan's own apartment to look for him, even though he has already given her the key.
She tried her best to avoid the two of them being alone in no one's place, so as to avoid the intimacy that should exist between unmarried couples.
The strange thing is that Cao's family is all men, but she has never had the understanding of "men" to them. For her, after Cheng Wan's death, the members of the Cao family filled the gap in the "family". Xia Rou never had any awareness of gender/sexuality towards them.
In the Cao family, Cao Yang and Cao An are closest to her. Occasionally, they put their arms around her shoulders or wrapped their arms around her waist, but those actions never gave Xia Rou a sense of "sex". For her, it was beyond the scope of resistance.
This kind of consciousness was also brought to this world by Xia Rou. She didn't realize that this life and the previous life had quietly changed.
In the two lives, Cao Yang regarded her as his responsibility, as the little sister of the family.
However, in this life, she has received the thorns all over her body, and will not have excessive self-esteem due to deep inferiority complex, and is no longer so sensitive and stubborn.
She is submissive, well-behaved, quiet, and pleasant.
In front of her like this, Cao Yang didn't need to hold her back, and didn't need to keep a distance from her. He was very relaxed in her presence.
So, without his knowing or her unconsciousness, the intimacy between him and her has already crossed the boundaries of previous lives.
But Xia Rou has always regarded Cao Yang as the elder brother who frowned when he saw her in the previous life.
There has never been a symbol of "man" on Big Brother.
He is just her family. Even, it is the most important family member who cannot leave and cannot be lost.
But that is Cao Yang from the previous life, not the current Cao Yang.
This point, Cao Yang does not know, Xia Rou does not understand.
"Don't look back... I'm telling you..." Xia Rou suddenly stood on tiptoe and bit Cao Yang's ear. "Wang Man... I've seen you several times..."
"Huh?" Cao Yang was absent-minded.
The warm breath swept over the ears, and the fragrance lingered at the end of the nose.
When she tiptoed to get close to him, her soft chest touched his chest.
…Who cares about Wang Man playing big swords.
"Hey, did you hear that!" Xia Rou anxiously pinched his shoulder.
"Listen, what's the matter?" Cao Yang said helplessly. It feels like he and this girl... are not on the same channel.
"Wang Man is peeking at you!" Xia Rou's eyes sparkled.
"Then what's the matter?" Cao Yang was speechless.
"Why don't you care at all!" The emperor really didn't care to kill Eunuch Xia, "Let me tell you, Wang Man is so proud, many people are chasing her, she can't even look down on her!"
"Well, then?"
"She's taken a fancy to you!" Eunuch Xia's eyes were shining brightly.
Cao Yang laughed: "What are you proud of?"
"Wang Man is so proud, no one will look up to him, but my brother, why can't I be proud!" Xia Rou's nose turned up.
my brother…
Cao Yang looked up at the ceiling and let out a light breath.
The subordinates relaxed a bit, and distanced themselves from Xia Rou...
Xia Rou didn't know how to live or die, and leaned on Cao Yang: "Go ask her to dance later!"
Cao Yang let out a "huh", noncommittal.
The song ended, before Xia Rou could urge Cao Yang to invite Wang Man, Wang Man came by himself.
"Cao Yang." She said generously, "A dance for your face?"
"My honor." Cao Yang smiled and took her hand.
The bit of banter, the bit of ruffianism, the bit of casualness and relaxation when we were with Xia Rou were all put away in an instant.
Facing Wang Man, it didn't take even a second to switch to the "mature man" mode.
Xia Rou was dumbfounded.
This, this is also a skill.
Cao An is also able to switch freely.
Even Hu Xuan can switch smoothly between "anxious" and "gentle and polite" without violating harmony.
Let Xia Rou be amazed.
She muttered a few words, and she was relieved to see those two dancing together on the dance floor.
Excellent people are attracted to each other irresistibly. Just like the two of them.
She thought it over, the second year of high school was almost over. Another year! In the third year of high school, work hard and get into a university that is far away. Don't take the third grade like in the previous life. Cao Yang will not let her live on campus and let her go to school when she is still in the provincial capital.
This time, I must take the exam a little further, and then move out of Cao's house directly by going to college.
In this way, when Wang Man married into Cao's family when she was a freshman, her annoying little white flower would no longer be there.
It won't affect their husband and wife relationship anymore!
Without the slow and annoying her, with Cao Yang and Wang Man's high IQ and high EQ, they must be able to live a very happy life!
Thinking about it, Xia Rou's eyes turned red...
Fortunately, no one was paying attention, so she held back her tears and went to the dining table to find a non-alcoholic drink.
I heard someone calling her: "Hey, isn't it Xia Rou? Who did you come here with?"
Xia Rou turned her head, and the person who called her was about twenty-five or six years old, with a rather gentle appearance, and looked like a polite gentleman.
Let me tell you, if you are such a beautiful girl and have no blood relationship, if you live in our house. I'm not scaring you, let me tell you, within three days, either my brother will eat you, or I will eat you. It depends on who is quicker.
Hu Xuan's words echoed in his mind.
Xia Rou is afraid when she encounters this kind of duplicity, which she can't see through. With a numb scalp, he called out: "Brother Hu Chen."
Hu Chen responded with a smile, and asked her, "Who are you here with? Cao An?"
"No, I came with my brother."
"Brother Yang is here, what, I'll go say hello."
"Don't go." Xia Rou grabbed his sleeve, "He's dancing."
Hu Chen easily saw Cao Yang and Wang Man.
Yo, where is Wang Man!
Immediately understood, he said with a smile: "Understood, then I won't cause trouble for him. I'll go there first."
After speaking, he walked towards his circle of people.
Xia Rou then relaxed her shoulders.
Before Hu Xuan left, he gave her a few good lessons.
Those people in the circle told her about what they were like before and what they were like. Instilled a lot of negative energy into her.
It made her feel trembling when she saw these people now.
She took a sip of the juice to suppress her shock.
Inadvertently glanced at Hu Chen.
Just in that circle of people, a handsome young man turned around and faced Xia Rou.
Under the light, you can see clearly.
Xia Rou suddenly felt that the blood all over her body... was frozen.
