say it now

Chapter 235 From now on 5
Zhou Huadong laughed twice, and said, "You still have gifts for Ling Yiyi? That's too much hahaha."

Xu Qiuyi squeezed the perfume box tightly, and finally took a deep breath as if she had made a decision.

"No...not for Ling Yiyi."

Not for Ling Yiyi?
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qiuyi presented the gift that Zhou Huadong had chosen by herself in front of him.

Zhou Huadong was shocked.

"This...this is..."

Xu Qiuyi smiled lightly, then pushed the gift box in front of Zhou Huadong.

"This is...a gift for you."

For him?
Zhou Huadong's pupils shook uncomfortably. This gift...he knew what it was. After all, he picked it out with his own hands, and he even picked out the wrapping paper himself.

He clearly remembered that Xu Qiuyi said that this gift was to be given to someone she likes...

Someone Xu Qiuyi likes?
Zhou Huadong stared at Xu Qiuyi with wide eyes.

Slowly, she fumbled around the rim of the snowflake cheese glass, circle... and circle...

"Do you know...my family...the family education is really strict...so I have always been gloomy, neither like to laugh nor talk."

"When I was young, I also tried to break through myself and make new friends. But those friends were forced to transfer schools within a week..."

Zhou Huadong lowered her head, without saying a word, just quietly listening to what Xu Qiuyi said.

"At first, I thought it was because of their parents, but after a long time, I found out...it's the Xu family who are behind everything."

She lowered her eyes.

"I questioned my family why it was like this...lol...you know what my parents said? They said...it was to 'protect' me."

"I couldn't help laughing out loud, protection? What kind of protection is this?"

She raised her head and continued to whisper, "Later, when I grew up, I realized that they were indeed 'protecting'."

"Unfortunately, it's not me who protects them, but themselves."

"Before I was born, they actually had another child. It was a fragile...and sensitive child. It can be said...my sister."

Zhou Huadong looked up at her, but she smiled easily as if she was telling someone else's affairs.

"From the housekeeper, I know that my sister... is always afraid of something. She was only in elementary school at the time... she thinks more than anyone else."

"She was afraid that she would disappear like this, so she wanted to leave 'evidence'. Evidence that she had lived. Because she felt that she could rest assured that even if she really disappeared one day, there would be many, many Man remembers himself."

"And the way to leave evidence is to make friends. She feels that as long as she makes friends, she will no longer be in a state of emptiness. But what is the final result? She is repeatedly rejected by those so-called 'friends' ’ hurt, and eventually committed suicide.”

Having said that, Xu Qiuyi paused and bit her lip.

"It's strange, right? I haven't seen 'sister', but I can't help but sigh in my heart. I think...she is really fragile..."

"My parents were also very sad because of the death of their daughter... so when I was born, they thought about it for me. They said that since those friends would only betray and hurt, it would be better not to make friends."

Zhou Huadong couldn't swallow any red bean pancakes anymore, so she said cautiously, "We thought you were the first child of the Xu family..."
