An Xiaochu looked at his aunt with anticipation. Her aunt frowned and shook her head as if she had never seen this person before. An Xiaochu tightly held onto her as if she was grabbing onto the last straw of hope.
"Auntie, it's me, An Xiaochu. I just came out of the Su Family this morning."
The Su Family's butler looked at An Xiaochu from the inside, and felt like he was watching a clown performing. In the end, he shook his head, sighed, and left.
"Let go, don't hold on to me!"
The aunt who was holding the vegetable basket struggled free from An Xiaochu's hands and looked at her strangely before rushing to the main entrance. After opening the key to the door, she closed it heavily once again.
An Xiaochu, "..."
In order to understand the situation, An Xiaochu decided to wait for Su Di to come back from the outside.
She sat down on the trunk.
After waiting for nearly three hours, An Xiaochu's patience had been completely exhausted.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew what was going on. Su Di promised her in a very affectionate manner, but when they moved over, he refused to answer her phone. The servants in his house all pretended not to know her, wasn't that simple? She was tricked by Su Di!
An Xiaochu was somewhat unwilling to accept this fact. She picked up her phone and called Su Di again, but this time, his phone was turned off.
"Heh …" An Xiaochu looked at her phone's screen and laughed at herself.
This is great, I just left the Qin family in such a righteous manner, and now when I'm back at the Su family, others are pretending that they don't know her … An Xiaochu, oh An Xiaochu, how could your life be so laughable?
Disappointment filled An Xiaochu's heart, she suddenly wanted to laugh out loud, this was … There was no one to rely on?
After an unknown period of time, An Xiaochu finally stabilized her emotions. The most important thing to do now was to find a resting place.
She returned to her original rented apartment, thinking that it was too long and she should clean it properly. Right when she was about to open the door, she saw that the keyhole and the key didn't fit properly. She frowned and called the landlord.
When a middle aged man appeared at the stairs, An Xiaochu anxiously ran over: "Landlord, did you change the lock? I can't open it with my key? "
"Yes, I did." The landlord had an unnatural expression on his face.
"What's the point of changing the lock?"
An Xiaochu was puzzled, she extended her hand out to ask the landlord for the key, after all this was her house, no matter how unhappy she was with the locks changing, she could not say anything, but the key was not in her hand, but a stack of RMB.
"Hmm?" An Xiaochu looked at the thin paper note in her hand in a daze.
"Little girl, I'm not renting this place, you can leave!" The landlord waved her away.
An Xiaochu was stunned upon hearing that, no! Rent! He did? What happened to him today? Why was she constantly being treated like trash?
"No way, Landlord. What's going on?" "Why do you say you don't want to rent it?"
The landlord sighed, "Sigh, even if I had to break my promise this time, I will give you back the one thousand yuan for the rent. You should leave now."
An Xiaochu still did not understand the reason for his sudden action, and continued to persevere: "Landlord, how about you let me stay here for a few days, I will move out, wait till I find a good house, I will move immediately."
"No, no." The landlord shook his head helplessly.
An Xiaochu walked on the main street dejectedly once again. However, what was different from the last time was that she still had two big travel bags in her hands, making her look even worse.
It was currently dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun had dyed the western sky gold, from light to deep. The people around were all in a hurry, and only An Xiaochu herself was wandering the streets, making her out to be out of place with the passersby.
A calamity did not only occur once; today, An Xiaochu could be considered to have comprehended the true essence behind it.
The sky suddenly darkened and An Xiaochu's heart thumped loudly.
It can't be? Do you have to be so weak?
She looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds pressing in from the west …
"Rumble!"
With a muffled sound, bean sized rain droplets landed on An Xiaochu's face. She made a "tsk" sound and frowned so much that she could pinch a fly to death.
An Xiaochu looked around, beside him was a row of rooms. All of them were restaurants, and because it was raining, many of the restaurants had closed their doors, so she quickly rushed over, stepping into the restaurant.
"Close, close, no more business!" The boss walked out of the kitchen quickly and waved towards An Xiaochu.
An Xiaochu had to leave the restaurant. She did not have an umbrella and the surrounding restaurants were all closed, so she could only stay under the eaves of the restaurant to avoid the rain for a while. Her gaze swept around and saw a wonton shop on the other side of the road, its door was still open.
An Xiaochu dragged her luggage and rushed out of the rain. The owner was a middle-aged woman. Seeing An Xiaochu, she smiled and asked: "You're here? "Sit inside."
An Xiaochu also returned a smile, if she had not forgotten, she had never eaten at this house before.
"Auntie, give me a bowl of wonton."
"Wonton or little wonton?"
An Xiaochu thought for a while.
"Alright."
It was exactly the style that she liked, simple and elegant. With another glance, An Xiaochu saw a little boy who was doing homework, she frowned, and tapped her left index finger on her forehead, as if she was thinking about something big that happened in her life.
An Xiaochu kept observing the little boy. He did some calculations on the draft paper several times, and every time she came out she would bite her lips as if she was in a difficult situation. He also raised her head a few times to look at the woman who was entertaining the guests.
His mother was cooking in the kitchen while he was sitting on the table in the bedroom. When he raised his head, he could see his mother's back as she cooked.
An Xiaochu walked to the boy's side and lowered her head to look at the questions on the book.
"How is it? Is it hard to do all this homework?" "Is there anything you can't write?" An Xiaochu looked at the back of the boy's head.
The Lady Boss who was busy receiving customers saw An Xiaochu asking about her son, so she couldn't help but smile and then continued to entertain the guests.
The little boy was also quite shy. Seeing such a big sister standing beside him, his face flushed red and he shyly pointed to a certain place in the book.
"Elder sister, this question … After repeating it a few times, the answers are still different. "
"Is that so? "How about this, you do something else first, I'll let you see!" An Xiaochu picked up the book and walked to her seat, reading the question twice, then scribbled on the book a few times. The little boy raised his head and secretly watched An Xiaochu's every move, when An Xiaochu turned his head, he was as if she had seen a cat, and quickly lowered his head.
An Xiaochu looked at the boy and squinted his eyes. She smiled and walked over to pat the boy's head.
With such an earnest gaze earlier, it was impossible for An Xiaochu to ignore him even if she wanted to. When she turned around, she saw that the little boy had hurriedly lowered her head.
The boy asked An Xiaochu an additional question. Of course, it was easy for An Xiaochu.
"Little brother, I will give you this question once. You need to take a good look at it."
"Mhmm!"
An Xiaochu paid attention to the little boy's facial expression as she talked. If the little boy didn't understand it at all, it could be seen from the little boy's facial expression. An Xiaochu saw that the little boy's expression was getting clearer and clearer, until the point where she almost jumped up.
"Sister, I will do it!"
After he finished talking, the little boy looked at An Xiaochu with a different expression, as if he was worshipping him.
An Xiaochu enjoyed this gaze a lot. After all, no one had ever looked at her with this kind of worshipful gaze before, and this little boy was the first.
No matter how happy she was, it was impossible for her to show it on her face. She asked excitedly, "Is there still a chance? Since I'm still here, you can say it now!"
The little boy was about to flip through his schoolbag when the Lady Boss came over with a wonton. "Miss, wonton is here. Eat first!"
"Thank you Auntie."
The Lady Boss smiled. She then turned to the little boy and said, "Chen Chen, do something else first and let your sister eat first."
Chen Chen nodded his head obediently and lowered his head to do his homework.
Although she was very obedient when she was young, it was fate that made fools of people. When she was still in the middle of the entrance exams, her mother was lying on the bed and peacefully walked away. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but feel her eyes go sour.
An Xiaochu lowered her head and buried herself in the steam rising from the hot wontons. She did her best to take a deep breath, and without blowing on the wind, she started to eat heartily, as if she couldn't taste anything at all.
She had forced the tears back, but at the sight of the two suitcases beside her, her tears were no longer under control. They flowed down her cheeks like beads off a string.
"Elder sister, why are you crying?" The little boy curiously leaned over and frowned. "Is it because the wonton doesn't taste good?"
An Xiaochu immediately used a tissue to wipe away the tears in her eyes. "No, wontons are delicious, big sister was just too anxious to eat just now, and she was scalded just like that! It's so hot, so hot!"
Saying that, An Xiaochu intentionally laughed and pouted her lips.
But when the little boy left, An Xiaochu's eyes couldn't help but get wet again.
