I Just Want to Freeload on Your Luck - Chapter 12
Zhao’s mother’s birthday is very close to Zhao Yuan’s. In previous years, the Zhao family would do it together.
This year should be no exception.
It was one week in advance, and the Evergreen Class began to give gifts to Zhao Yuan.
“I voted for you. It is estimated that you will be a school bachelor again this year. Happy birthday in advance.”
Zhao Yuan was surrounded by a crowd of stars and smiled politely: “Thank you.”
E Xiaoxia watched from a distance, and handed over the present anxiously. Zhao Yuan glanced at her, but did not answer.
The two are still in a deadlock over the allergy.
Someone voted for Zhao Yuan, swiping his finger down, and he saw Zhao Mingxi in the countdown to the voting page.
Someone was shocked and said: “Why is there another shortlisted wearing a mask? How about the moderator who reviewed? Is this year’s selection of school flowers fun?”
Zhao Yuan’s face changed slightly, and she turned on her phone and glanced.
Zhao Mingxi really magically ranked 20th.
Someone next to him said: “It’s Zhao Mingxi? I haven’t seen it before, but I’ve heard of a girl who has been chasing Shen Liyao. I heard that she looks very ordinary. Maybe someone will vote for her because of the curiosity.”
After E Xiaoxia saw Zhao Yuan turned around, she kept frowning and scratching her phone to look at her, she couldn’t figure out her psychology.
But he leaned in and said in a low voice: “Yuanyuan, don’t worry, those people are holding a curious mentality and want to know what Zhao Mingxi looks like under the mask before voting for her. She has only 500 votes now, your three Thousands of tickets hang her and she can’t rush up.”
“What’s more, if you rush to the front row, you will lose face at that time. You think, when the selection is over, people in the school who don’t know her thought she was very beautiful-the mask was taken off, wow, disappointed.”
E Xiaoxia thought that after finishing her words, she could ease the relationship with Zhao Yuan, but who knew Zhao Yuan could not say a word after hearing her words, her face became more ugly, and she didn’t seem to breathe a sigh of relief.
E Xiaoxia had to speak again, and the phone of another friend of Zhao Yuan, Pu Shuang, shook.
“Hey, it was sent by Zhao Yuning.” Pu Shuang said in surprise.
[Sister Pu Shuang, your girls are angry, what kind of gifts do you usually receive? ps, don’t tell sister Yuan. 】
Just as Zhao Yuan was next to her, she gave Zhao Yuan a look: “Your brother is kind to you too, is this planning to quietly prepare a birthday present for you? Let me not tell you!”
Zhao Yuan twitched the corners of her mouth, her expression calming down.
Zhao Yuning probably wanted to apologize for yelling at her unconsciously on the playground that day.
However, Zhao Yuan was a little surprised. Zhao Yuning had always been going straight, and today she would be oblique.
Pu Shuang asked: “Quickly, what do you want to receive on your birthday, how can I reply?”
Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said: “I don’t need anything, you can let him send it whatever you want.”
Pu Shuang then replied: “Give it as you like, but Sister Shuang suggests that you buy a waiting teddy bear.”
E Xiaoxia, Pu Shuang and the other girls around were envious of the text message there, “It would be great if I had such a younger brother.”
Zhao Yuan smiled, feeling better, stood up and packed her schoolbags and said: “My eldest brother is coming to pick me up, see you next week.”
=========
Zhao Yuning is taking two buddies around in the mall.
In the last class of the afternoon, he took leave of absence, so he wanted to buy some gifts and send them to Zhao Mingxi.
This week, I don’t know if it was Zhao Mingxi deliberately avoiding it, or whether the high school building was too far away from the third year of high school. He actually never saw Zhao Mingxi in school again.
Of course, he didn’t go home and convey to his family the angry words that Zhao Mingxi wanted to completely draw a line before.
He thought, this weekend the eldest brother will come to pick Zhao Mingxi back in person, it is impossible for Zhao Mingxi to be angry with the eldest brother not to go home.
So if he said it, it would be bad.
But even if he didn’t convey it, the atmosphere at home was visibly bad.
If Zhao Mingxi didn’t go home, the house was deserted a lot in an instant. Not to mention that he couldn’t eat the delicious dishes made by Zhao Mingxi. Even if he wanted to argue, he couldn’t find anyone.
Zhao Yuan and Zhao Mingxi have very different personalities.
Zhao Yuan is generous, learns piano and etiquette, and can’t make mistakes. Of course, Zhao Yuning likes to spoil Zhao Yuan’s sister very much, but he feels that he can’t lack Zhao Mingxi, who is very slick and smart-only Zhao Mingxi will stay up with him. While playing the game, he pulled his ears and pushed him to bed.
Even if Zhao Yuning didn’t want to admit it very much, he still had to say that he was really empty in his heart this week.
Although he complained a little bit about Zhao Mingxi’s ups and downs with his family for this little matter, the key is that he ignored him.
But after Zhao Mingxi said that in the teaching building that day, he also reflected on himself and the rest of the family.
I feel that they are indeed wronged by Zhao Mingxi.
So he thought, buy a gift first, and after his elder brother persuaded Mingxi to go home today, he sneaked into Mingxi’s room and gave the gift to her.
But when he really wanted to give a gift, Zhao Yuning found that she didn’t know anything about Zhao Mingxi’s preferences.
He only discovered that after two years, he seemed to have just given Zhao Mingxi a game card that he had played on her birthday last year.
Zhao Yuning felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and there was a panic that was too late, but he tried his best to suppress this strange feeling.
No, where is the conflict in the family.
After wandering in the mall for more than an hour, Zhao Yuning still bought Zhao Mingxi a huge teddy bear of about one meter and seven meters in accordance with Pu Shuang’s suggestion.
After the purchase, he sighed in relief and felt that it was almost done. Zhao Mingxi should be pleasantly surprised when he receives it.
Because it was too big to take it back directly, he asked the salesperson to express it back.
When he filled in the address, he thought about it, filled in his home, and Zhao Mingxi accepted it.
Anyway, my eldest brother will take Zhao Mingxi home today.
=========
As soon as Zhao Yuning returned to school from the mall, he received a call from Zhao Zhanhuai. He hurriedly carried his schoolbag to the school gate: “Big Brother.”
Zhao Zhanhuai got out of the car with the car key, rolled up the cuffs of the white shirt, wrinkled his eyebrows and walked straight to the school: “Where is Mingxi’s class? You lead the way.
“Big brother, you finally came.” Zhao Yuning was a little excited, and the eldest brother came to pick him up in person. Zhao Mingxi wouldn’t be as speechless as he did that day.
He hurriedly followed Zhao Zhanhuai: “Over there, it is the same building as Zhao Yuan, but not on the same floor.”
Zhao Zhan went up to the fifth floor and walked in the direction of the international class.
He didn’t know the position of Mingxi’s class before and after the transfer, he only knew which class Zhao Yuan was in.
On every weekend like this, Zhao Zhanhuai would drive to the school to pick Zhao Yuan home in person.
His feelings for Zhao Yuan have not yet deteriorated at this time, but since two years ago, after Zhao Yuan changed from a sister to a foreigner with no blood relationship, Zhao Zhanhuai has an extra layer of pity for her.
He was afraid that she would be uncomfortable in this home, and that she would be bullied by Mingxi, who had a significantly stronger personality, so Zhao Zhanhuai took more care of Zhao Yuan than in the previous fifteen years.
Picking up Zhao Yuan in person is a small customary habit between him and Zhao Yuan, allowing Zhao Yuan to feel his preference and tell her by behavior that she is still very important in this home.
As for Zhao Yuning and Zhao Mingxi, they were generally picked up by Zhao’s driver for the past two years.
Zhao Zhanhuai didn’t think there was anything wrong, anyway, Yuning would also be with Mingxi. The two are about the same age, maybe they can help Mingxi integrate into the family faster.
But this week, perhaps out of guilt over the last incident, Zhao Zhanhuai’s attention obviously fell on Mingxi a little bit more.
Mingxi didn’t come back for a whole week and a half.
Not only did Mingxi not reply to his apology text message, he and other family members called afterwards, and they were all blocked.
Even the phone number of the aunt who has been cooking at Zhao’s house was blacklisted by Mingxi.
Mingxi is in a posture to completely draw a line with them.
Mother Zhao had a headache at home, yelling that since Zhao Mingxi didn’t come back, she would never want to come back. But Zhao’s mother is just a tofu heart, it is impossible to really prevent Mingxi from coming back.
Zhao Zhanhuai had to take a trip in person.
As the elder brother, he plans to take Mingxi out for a hot pot meal this weekend to soothe her emotions. Then find a suitable opportunity to take her home.
The international class ends very early, and people are already gone.
Both Zhao Zhanhuai and Zhao Yuning looked very handsome, and as they walked, girls kept looking at them.
Someone came over and asked: “Who are you looking for?”
Zhao Zhanhuai said, “I am the parent of Zhao Mingxi in the international class. Is she there?”
“She went to the office to submit the application form for the Hundred Schools League.”
Zhao Zhanhuai and Zhao Yuning glanced at each other, both were a little surprised. They knew about the Hundred Schools League. With Mingxi’s results, would they also want to apply? Let’s not say that the application conditions are so strict. Each school has limited places. If you can apply for it, even if you apply, it can only be the first batch of people who are eliminated and cannot enter the finals.
Zhao Zhanhuai said to Zhao Yuning: “But it’s good to have this motivated idea. It’s not easy for Mingxi to come to study from a small town.”
Zhao Yuning nodded.
The two then walked towards the office.
Mingxi just handed in the application form and came out. As soon as he looked up, he met Zhao Zhanhuai and Zhao Yuning who had come to pick her up.
“Mingxi.” Zhao Zhanhuai walked over and fell on Mingxi, not seeing him for a week and a half. It was beyond his expectation. Mingxi didn’t seem to be in a mood of vindictiveness with her family – her eye circles were not red or thin. It even seems that the hair is more shiny and the eyes are clearer.
Zhao Zhanhuai was a little surprised, opened his mouth, what else to say.
Before he could speak, Mingxi frowned.
“Why are you here again.”
Mingxi choked Zhao Zhanhuai with a lukewarm sentence.
Zhao Zhanhuai thought that Mingxi would feel wronged when he saw him, but he never expected it would be such a disgusting look.
He stabilized his mind, decided not to care about the children, and continued: “Are you going back to the classroom? If you don’t, we will walk and say, I will take you to the hot pot.”
Mingxi said, “That’s what Zhao Yuan likes to eat. I don’t like hot pot.”
“Then eat something else.” Zhao Zhanhuai was also patiently to please: “Also, next week for your mother and Yuanyuan’s birthday, you must go home before that. Don’t play tricks, Mingxi.”
Mingxi glanced at Zhao Yuning: “It seems that you didn’t convey what I said.”
Zhao Zhanhuai also looked at Zhao Yuning behind him: “What are you talking about?”
Zhao Yuning’s face suddenly became a little ugly. He thought that Mingxi’s attitude would loosen when his eldest brother came, but why was it still like this? Still so cold to them?
Mingxi suddenly took off the schoolbag behind him and took out a thin photo from it.
Zhao Zhanhuai remembered that it was a family portrait given to her by the family when Mingxi first came to Zhao’s two years ago. She washed two of them, one framed and placed by the head of the bed, and the other in her schoolbag.
The one on the bedside, he went to see this morning, but was not taken away.
And this one–
“The photos should be kept well, what are you doing with them?” Zhao Zhanhuai stared at Zhao Mingxi, only then realized that Mingxi was a little abnormal.
Mingxi walked over and passed the photo to Zhao Zhanhuai.
Zhao Zhanhuai frowned.
So Mingxi had to crumple it up and throw it into the trash can next to it.
When she did this, she was throwing away trash without lifting her eyelids.
Zhao Zhanhuai and Zhao Yuning were both stunned, looking at Zhao Mingxi in astonishment.
Mingxi fumbled for the schoolbag again, took a look, and after careful confirmation, he said: “Apart from this photo, I shouldn’t have anything else from your family. The schoolbags and clothes I brought out are all two years old. I brought it before I came.”
Zhao Zhanhuai twisted his eyebrows: “What do you mean?”
“It means I don’t have anything from the Zhao family, please don’t come to me. I have told Zhao Yuning about other things.”
No matter how gentle Zhao Zhanhuai is, he will be angry too. He glanced at the trash can, which was full of peels, and his voice was low: “You just rubbed the photos of the whole family into a ball and threw them into the trash can?! In your eyes we are What is a family?”
Mingxi looked at him with a strange look: “Isn’t it just a photocopy, as for?”
“…”
Zhao Zhanhuai suddenly felt that these words seemed familiar. He suddenly remembered that not long after Mingxi came to Zhao’s house, he was carrying a few photocopies of the town where she used to live and her grandmother.
Mingxi was only willing to show them one. After they read it, they didn’t know whether it fell into Zhao Yuan or Zhao Yuning’s hands. They forgot to return it to Mingxi, and then it disappeared.
Mingxi cried and quarreled with them for the first time.
They also said this: “Isn’t it just a photocopy, you still have a lot of them, as for?”
Zhao Zhanhuai’s face turned blue, but he was stabbed in his heart, unable to speak.
He looked at Zhao Mingxi, and Mingxi had already turned and went downstairs.
At this moment, Zhao Zhanhuai and Zhao Yuning discovered why they felt something was wrong when they first saw Mingxi in the corridor.
Mingxi changed his schoolbag.
What she brought out was her own schoolbag that her grandma had bought for her.
Mingxi also changed her hair accessories.
The ponytail she had **** was replaced with an ordinary black rubber band.
Mother Zhao was in a good mood. She bought them when she took her shopping, but she didn’t bring out the Zhao family.
And on her schoolbag, the little bear ornament that Zhao Zhanhuai gave her, which she used to be a treasure, was gone.
