The sky gradually dimmed, the dimly lit floor lamps, and the tall trees looked as dark as shadows.
In summer evenings, there are many people who come to the ecological park for night running. The shadowy buildings are full of people. Everyone ran in the same direction according to the instructions of the rubber runway, but they would not collide.
The back in front undulates with the footsteps.
The shoulders are very broad, and the short-sleeved sports vest is attached to the body, which outlines smooth muscle lines. From broad shoulders to narrow waist, the pulsation of every muscle during running silently expresses the explosive power hidden in this body.
Xia Rou was out of breath.
When she was twenty-five years old, such speed and distance were nothing. But she overestimated her physique at fifteen.
The lungs seemed to be burning. But she stubbornly wanted to follow the figure in the dark all the time, not wanting to be left behind by him.
"Is it okay?" Cao Yang turned around and asked. His breathing was steady, not panting at all.
Xia Rou saw his concern for her in his eyes.
But that concern is still very shallow. Probably because the time of getting along is shallow, and the relationship is still shallow.
Xia Rou suddenly remembered the past, when she reached the limit and could no longer run, he smiled and handed her water, jokingly said: "Girl, no!"
How close they were back then...
In the past few days, because of her changes, many things have undergone subtle changes. Although it seems that everything is changing for the better, but...
Butterflies flap their wings, and a hurricane blows across the ocean.
Can she and her eldest brother really return to the intimacy they once had
Can he love her like his own sister again
Worrying about gain and loss was turning in her heart, hot feeling was churning in her lungs, Xia Rou raised her eyes and saw the place two steps ahead of her, Cao Yang turned her head to look into her eyes...
She gritted her teeth suddenly, ran wildly, and started to sprint!
Cao Yang was happy, and walked behind her, wanting to see how much explosive power she still had.
result…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Xia Rou supported her knees and bent over, gasping for breath in pain! It feels like my lungs are going to explode!
How many meters did you sprint? Cao Yang was speechless.
This physical fitness, really, is far worse than the boys in the army! However, it is true that she cannot be compared with the boys in the army, not even the female soldiers.
Look at this thin and frail look!
Look at the thin arms!
Look at this leg... well, straight.
In short, this child is too thin, even a girl, too thin is not good!
Cao Yang doesn't like women who are skinny and become skeletons nowadays. He grew up in the military camp and saw a lot of masculine and mighty beauty. He likes women with thin waists but healthy. He feels that being healthy and strong is more in line with his aesthetics.
Anyway, she will be raised in his own home in the future, and the future will last long, and it will be enough to raise her well in the future, Cao Yang thought.
Seeing Xia Rou's "I'm going to die" look, she felt it was funny for a moment, and couldn't help jokingly said: "Girl, no!"
The girl who was panting to death suddenly raised her head. In the darkness of night, tears glistened in his eyes.
Cao Yang was taken aback.
Xia Rou coughed violently, tears flowed out of her cough.
Cao Yang helped his forehead.
He took out the water bottle in her pocket and handed it to her: "Shunshun, drink some water."
"Drink slowly!"
Waking up early the next morning, the three of them had breakfast together.
"Are you still used to it?" Cao Xiong rarely asked.
"It's good." Xia Rou said, "I went for a run in the ecological park yesterday."
Cao Yang asked with a smile: "Are you still going today?" Yesterday he looked like "I'm going to die".
"Well, go after dinner." Xia Rou still likes to run at night.
"Wake up early, the effect of running in the morning is better." Cao Xiong said.
Xia Rou explained seriously: "I'm afraid of getting sunburned."
Cao Xiong: "..." Unable to refute!
It was so rare to see his father being choked, the corners of Cao Yang's mouth couldn't help twitching.
Cao Xiong glanced at him and let out a "hum" in his heart.
However, their overly masculine family really lacks experience in raising girls. Cao Xiong suddenly began to miss the time when he used to whip his sons with a belt and let them sweat profusely under the scorching sun to improve their physical fitness...
When Aunt Fang came out from the main building to the wing building, she saw Xia Rou reading a book on a wooden chair under a big tree in the atrium.
What a quiet kid.
She came, and little changed in the family. Some of Aunt Fang's previous worries were just ignorant worries. This girl is well-behaved and doesn't look for trouble, so she is very worry-free.
"Xia Rou, are you reading again?" Aunt Fang greeted her.
Xia Rou put down the book: "Aunt Fang."
"There is a library on the second floor, you can go there to read after the decoration is finished." Aunt Fang told her kindly, "The second floor is too messy now, they piled up all the materials in the corridor, don't go up, be careful you."
"Okay. Thank you, Aunt Fang." Xia Ju said.
Aunt Fang's friendly attitude towards her is the most fulfilling thing after her rebirth.
After all, the Cao family was very kind to her in the previous life, and nothing has changed in this life. And Aunt Fang really showed her dislike for her in her previous life, but now, she looks at her with gentle eyes.
This gave Xia Rou a lot of confidence, and made her feel that the stupid things she committed in the past may really be corrected slowly.
Maybe this is the meaning of her rebirth
"By the way, Aunt Fang." Xia Rou took the initiative to chat with Aunt Fang, "I heard you have a daughter?"
Of course Xia Rou didn't hear about it, she knew it long ago.
When mentioning her daughter, Aunt Fang smiled with crow's feet, which was genuine joy from the bottom of her heart.
Xia Rou often saw that kind of joy in Cheng Wan's eyes before.
They all bring their daughters to make a living, but Aunt Fang and her mother are completely different, Xia Rou thought.
Aunt Fang has a dead husband and only one daughter. The parents-in-law of the in-laws favor sons over daughters, and because the uncle gave birth to two sons, they made the idea of Aunt Fang's house.
That house is an old house that existed before they got married. It was originally under the name of the in-laws. It was originally owned by the eldest son and the younger son. Aunt Fang and her husband have never thought about transferring the ownership for so many years. As a result, the parents-in-law decided to transfer the house of the eldest son to the grandson born to the younger son.
Aunt Fang was kicked out from her husband's house. The mother-in-law originally wanted to keep her daughter, thinking that she was a girl anyway, and she would marry off sooner or later, and she would not rob the house with her grandson. But Aunt Fang refused to let go.
Compared with the granddaughter, it is more important to help the grandson get the house, so the mother-in-law did not force her to stay, and let her daughter leave with her.
Aunt Fang and her husband originally used that house to open a small grocery store, half as a storefront and half as a residence. Now, she doesn't even have a source of living expenses.
She took her child to look for a job, but was dragged down by the child and bumped into walls everywhere. Later, I went to a housekeeping company, and several housekeeping companies were introduced to me. When they heard that she had to bring a child when she came to work, they were not happy.
Fortunately, the housekeeping company recommended her to Cao's house.
At that time, Cao Yang's mother was not in good health, and wanted to find an aunt who had experience in raising children to help her take care of a few children. The salary is generous, and food and housing are included.
After hearing what happened to Aunt Fang, she sympathized with her very much. He also agreed that she was unwilling to give up her daughter, so he hired her.
Aunt Fang finally had a settled life.
A year later, Mrs. Cao passed away.
Aunt Fang did not disappoint Mrs. Cao later, she did take good care of the daily life of the brothers.
When she came to Cao's house, Cao Yang was only thirteen years old. But both he and Cao Bin are precocious and very independent. Cao Xing and Cao An are nine years old, and the other is only seven years old. Although he was trained by his father to live like a military camp, he is still a child after all, and his heart longs for softness, so he is closer to Aunt Fang than his two older brothers.
Time flies, and Aunt Fang has been in Cao's house for more than ten years in a blink of an eye. She is said to be a housekeeping aunt, but she is actually the housekeeper of the Cao family, with two cleaners and a gardener under her management. Even the chef at home is very proud of her, and pretends to be the leader.
In the past, Xia Rou hated her very much. Because she never gave Xia Rou a good face.
Xia Rou felt that she must have defined herself as a half mistress in her heart, that's why she was hostile to her, a fake young lady who was dependent on others.
Although Xia Rou is a sojourner, she always feels in her heart that she should be in the same circle as the Cao family. However, Aunt Fang's attitude towards her made her feel embarrassed when the fake was exposed.
In fact, she felt that both of them were not right. No one is the mistress of the house.
Since Mrs. Cao passed away, until Cao Yang got married, the mansion had no real mistress.
But these days, Xia Rou realized that her aunt Fang actually had a lot of misunderstandings.
Those thoughts of "taking herself as a half mistress" may have been imagined because she looked at it with colored eyes, and they were not the way things really were. At least now, when she looked at Aunt Fang again, she realized that she was actually abiding by her duties.
She couldn't help but compare Aunt Fang and Cheng Wan, trying to imagine whether Cheng Wan could earn a living independently like Aunt Fang with children.
In the end, she realized with disappointment that Cheng Wan... couldn't do it.
Even during her marriage with her biological father, Cheng Wan lived an exquisite life like being raised in captivity. She lives gracefully, delicately and softly.
She is a delicate, gentle and fragile woman, and she needs a man to take good care of her to survive.
Once she lost this kind of care, she even felt unable to live alone, so she could only seek death cowardly. Fortunately, he met Cao Xiong.
Cheng Wan, really can only be a dodder flower carefully raised in precious porcelain.
In the two lives, Xia Rou was hurt by this cognition.
In her previous life, she tried so hard to be brave so that she would not become a woman like Cheng Wan.
In this life, in addition to this, she also hopes that she will not become the same woman as in the previous life.
She loves Cheng Wan deeply, but she doesn't like Cheng Wan either.
But she herself is not even as good as Cheng Wan.
For a lifetime, what exactly is the picture
