The cold president's sweet pet is a cute little girl

Chapter 69 Leng Xiaoxiao’s Past (1)

Leng Xiaoxiao could empathize with him because she and Zheng Ming had experienced the same thing for a period of time. At that time, she was in pain and crazy, but she could not stop Zheng Ming from embarking on that path of no return.

"Do you remember when I was walking barefoot in the snow with only one layer of clothing on?"

Leng Xiaoxiao said slowly.

Yu Xi nodded slightly: "I remember it clearly. We first met in that heavy snow. I have always been curious about how a rational person like you could be so sad walking in the snow.

But every time you come to me, you keep silent about this matter. When I ask you, you change the subject and ask, "Why, do you want to talk to me tonight?"

Leng Xiaoxiao took a book and slowly flipped through it. She said slowly: "Hearing you talk about Lin Subai, I suddenly want to confide a story of my own desperate and suffocating past. Do you want to listen?"

Yu Xi said: "I will be a qualified listener."

Leng Xiaoxiao slightly raised the corners of her lips, looked at Yu Xi calmly, and slowly told the story of her and Zheng Ming.

"Guess how old I was when I met Zheng Ming?"

Yu Xi asked: "Is Zheng Ming your childhood sweetheart?"

Leng Xiaoxiao shook his head: "No."

Yu Xi analyzed the time when she knew Leng Xiaoxiao. It was the year when it snowed heavily. Leng Xiaoxiao was walking barefoot in the snow with only a single layer of clothes. She had not yet graduated from school and was a junior.

"Did you meet in college?"

Leng Xiaoxiao shook his head and said "No."

Yu Xi showed a helpless look on his face and compromised: "The scope is too wide, I can't guess."

He sneered and said, "You just don't want to use your brain and waste your energy."

After she said this, her eyes showed nostalgia, and she slowly told the story of how she first met Zheng Ming.

“The year I met Zheng Ming, after the college entrance examination, it was time to fill in the application form.

I want to study makeup and beauty, but my father thinks that this is a low-class job and not worthy of being in a high-class society.

He wanted me to apply for other majors, but I didn't want to. My father then told me that if I insisted on doing so, he would no longer pay for all my college expenses.

Besides that, let me leave the house unless I choose to obey his orders."

Yu Xi said: "Given your personality, you will never obey and will definitely go all the way to the end."

Leng Xiaoxiao laughed at herself and said to Yu Xi: "You really understand me. Our friendship over the years has not been in vain."

Yu Xi said: "I am the only best friend in S City. I spend every day with you, it's hard not to understand you."

"Yes! You and I have only lived together for a few years, but you can already understand my stubborn temper. My father raised me, so how could he not understand my stubborn character?"

Yu Xi asked: "Have you contacted your uncle and aunt in all these years?"

He sneered and said, “Since the day I moved out of my home, I haven’t had any contact. I called my cell phone number at the time, but it showed that it was an unavailable number.

Both my parents' phone numbers show "inactive". Don't you think it's clear what they want to say?"

Yu Xi fell silent. Although she did not agree with Leng Xiaoxiao's behavior of not contacting her parents for many years, Yu Xi didn't know how to persuade Leng Xiaoxiao not to advise others without experiencing their suffering.

"Xiaoxiao, my parents passed away suddenly, and I regret not showing more respect and care to them when they were alive.

I don’t want you to be like me, like a rootless duckweed, living in the world without knowing where to go home.”

"Lin Subai can't give you the feeling of home?"

Yu Xi forced a smile and said listlessly: "He used to make me feel at ease and made me believe that where he was was home.

But it’s not possible now, although I still love him to my core, it’s fate that he doesn’t remember me.

Even though he was very patient with me, I could not touch his mind. Time made him grow more unfathomable, while I still remained in the same gentleness as before.

There is a distance of time between us, so how can I possibly find the existence of home in him? "

Leng Xiaoxiao advised: "Everything has a running-in period, don't be anxious. You were able to find a sense of home in him back then, and you will definitely be able to do so in the future."

Yu Xi sighed slightly and said, "I'm afraid that things and people will change and we will lose each other."

Leng Xiaoxiao comforted him: “No, since he can get married with you and get a marriage certificate after reuniting with you without remembering your original relationship, you must be very special in his heart.

Giving each other some time is a relief for you and a tolerance for him. "

Leng Xiaoxiao paused here, her slender and clean fingers unconsciously flipping the pages of the book in her hand, lost in thought.

I left home on my own will and haven't contacted my family for many years. I don't even know their current situation. I am really unfilial.

Time is merciless, my parents have already seen it, should I continue to ignore them?

Will there be a day when I will be like Yu Xi, full of regrets and lamenting the fickleness of fate?

But I am entangled with Zheng Ming, how can I explain my current situation?

Did my father ever regret driving me out of the house?

They know where they work and can often see me on video, so why would they ever think of contacting me?

He smiled bitterly, his heart felt sour and uncomfortable, and tears filled his eyes.

"My parents loved my brother very much. I didn't choose other majors according to their wishes. They abandoned me like a worn-out shoe. How could I regret not contacting them?"

Leng Xiaoxiao said to Yu Xi in a stern tone.

"Home is where your heart is. My home is still far away."

Leng Xiaoxiao smiled sadly, which made Yu Xi feel indescribably sad. She stood up and hugged Leng Xiaoxiao with her left hand, saying:

"There will always be a place for our hearts to go. Even if they are unreliable, we still have each other to support us!"

Leng Xiaoxiao left Yu Xi's embrace, sniffed, and said:

"Aren't we talking about what happened with Zheng Ming? Why did we end up talking about home? Isn't this pure self-torture?"

"Yes, we were talking about your love history. How did we get sidetracked? It's all your fault for changing the subject. Why don't you tell us about your love history with Zheng Ming?"

Yu Xi was unwilling to be immersed in this sad and lonely topic any longer. She tilted her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and urged.

"Tell me quickly, what has happened to you since you left home."

Leng Xiaoxiao continued the previous topic and said: "After I left home, I urgently needed a place to stay. I walked around the city for most of the day before I found a barber shop that was looking for apprentices, providing food and accommodation.

The salary was a little low, but it was a rare job for me who had left home penniless at the time."

Yu Xi sighed: "You left home penniless and set out on the road alone with a suitcase. You are really brave."

Leng Xiaoxiao recalled how she left home penniless. Looking back now, she felt sad.

At that time, I was truly ignorant, fearless and extremely daring.

The security environment in the year of the college entrance examination was not as good as it is today. At that time, a lot of information was not transparent. The country stepped up efforts to develop the economy, but the security control and prevention were not strong.

If a woman walks alone outside, she may be kidnapped and sold to remote areas.

The reason why Leng Xiaoxiao had such a feeling was that when they were studying at school, there was a girl who went home alone after school and was trafficked to another place.

In addition to this incident, there are also people in society who collect protection fees, fight with knives, and there are also prostitutes and smugglers everywhere.

Leng Xiaoxiao replied to Yu Xi: "Back then, I was ignorant and did things without thinking things through. I ran away from home just to hold on.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough that the first job I found was in a legitimate business.

Although there are some illegal things, such as providing customers with inferior products and deceiving customers into spending more, these are not serious problems.

Compared to other barbershops where prostitution, drug smuggling, and gangs gather, the place I found is safer."

Yu Xi couldn't help but feel lucky for Leng Xiaoxiao. She also came from that era. The security environment was not strictly controlled back then, and you could encounter gangs fighting for territory when walking on the street.

There is one thing that Yu Xi remembers vividly. When she was in high school, a murder occurred in their town.

A junior high school student somehow offended someone in society and was killed. His body was then dismembered and thrown into a river. Later, it rained heavily, the river water churned, and his body was washed ashore.

However, this incident instantly improved the security in the town. Anyone who was wandering on the street with a controlled knife was invited to the police station for tea.

At that time, Yu Xi was studying at school, and her parents reminded her more than once not to cause trouble, so she was deeply impressed by the security environment in those years.

Yu Xi asked: "Did you stay in that barber shop for the entire summer vacation?"

Leng Xiaoxiao explained: “I spent a summer in that barber shop and met Zheng Ming.”

"Is Zheng Ming also working in that barber shop during the summer vacation?"

In response to Yu Xi's question, Leng Xiaoxiao shook her head in denial.

"Zheng Ming is not working as a summer intern in that barber shop. He is the son of the barber shop owner and is helping out in the shop.

It was a self-built house at that time. Zheng Ming's house had a total of eight floors. Counting from the top of the building to the bottom, five floors were rented out.

Of the remaining three floors, the first floor is a barber shop, and the second and third floors are where the family lives.

I lived above the barber shop at the time—on the second floor.”

After listening to Leng Xiaoxiao's explanation, Yu Xi imagined the scene of the barber shop at that time.

But she was a little curious about how Leng Xiaoxiao got together with Zheng Ming.

Leng Xiaoxiao listened to Yu Xi's question and was silent for a moment before saying:

"Zheng Ming was very good before. I was very surprised at that time. How could the boss's wife, who was mean and sharp-tongued, give birth to a child as kind as Zheng Ming?"

"How is he good?"

Leng Xiaoxiao said: “I settled in a barber shop at that time, but the barber shop has a rule that employees in that shop cannot find other jobs.

But I didn't listen to my family's arrangements. I was penniless and my family was determined not to pay for my tuition.

If I insist on studying makeup and beauty, I will need to pay for the tuition myself.

Although the barber shop provides food and accommodation, the salary for apprentices is very low. Compared with the tuition, the monthly salary is just a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the problem at all.

In order to raise enough money for tuition, I killed countless brain cells and came up with the idea of ​​setting up a stall to do manicures.

Because manicures require very low costs, but the profits are very high, and the time and location are very flexible, it was the best choice for me at that time. "

Yu Xi thought about it for a moment and realized that it was true. A manicure didn’t require much space. A small box for carrying tools, a bench and a small table could form a temporary stall.

While Yu Xi was lost in thought, Leng Xiaoxiao continued: "In order to avoid being seen by the boss lady and the boss, I deliberately went to a market far away to set up a stall.

It was just that gangs were prevalent in those years, and I was often harassed by hooligans when I set up a stall there. I was forced to run far away every time to get rid of them. "

Having said that, Leng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but reveal a hint of tenderness.

One time I moved my stall to a new location and was seen by Zheng Ming. I was so scared that my face turned pale and I was at a loss as to what to do.

Zheng Ming even came forward to comfort me and said, "Don't worry! I won't tell my parents."

Then Zheng Ming asked me why I came out to set up a stall. The daily work is already so hard, why should I work myself to death?

I told Zheng Ming the reason why I worked so hard to set up the stall.

From then on, every time I went out to set up a stall to do my nails, Zheng Ming would be by my side. He was sociable and was on good terms with these ruffians on the street.

I often treat them to dine, so I am very popular and my nail salon is no longer harassed by thugs.

After a few visits, we became familiar with each other. He even tried to hide it in front of his parents so that the boss and his wife would not find out that I was setting up a stall outside.

Although I worked very hard every day, my daily income and salary were still several hundred short of the cost of college tuition. I was extremely anxious during that time and racked my brains to find a solution.

I didn’t eat well, I didn’t sleep well, and my face, which still had some flesh, became emaciated in just a few days.

When Zheng Ming saw my condition, he was very worried and asked me what happened.

During that time, I was almost driven to collapse by the tuition issue, and suddenly someone appeared and cared about me a lot, and I suddenly had the desire to talk.

I told Zheng Ming about the difficulties I encountered. Zheng Ming laughed and comforted me: "Don't worry, I will lend you the few hundred yuan you need."

Leng Xiaoxiao thought of her complicated and touching feelings at that time, and her heart began to beat wildly.

At that time, Zheng Ming was not dressed in a suit and tie like he is now, but was full of the brilliance of a young man.

Leng Xiaoxiao still remembers that she asked Zheng Ming at that time: "Where did you get such a large sum of money?"

Because Leng Xiaoxiao knew that the boss and the boss's wife were very strict about Zheng Ming's use of money.

Zheng Ming doesn't have much pocket money.

Zheng Ming could sense Leng Xiaoxiao's worry, and replied with a bright smile: "I earn my own money! If you can earn money by setting up a stall every day, so can I!"

Leng Xiaoxiao was very surprised, because Zheng Ming spent most of the day helping out in the barber shop, and the rest of the time he often accompanied her to set up the stall. How could he have the time to go out and earn money!

Leng Xiaoxiao asked the question in her heart, Zheng Ming said: "Although I help in the store most of the time, and often accompany you to the stall, but when I accompany you to the stall, I don't stay at your stall all the time!

I will use the time I am waiting to repair other people’s computers, as there are not many people who can do this.”

Leng Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that repairing computers could make a lot of money. Although Zheng Ming was doing odd jobs, his income was not small.
