Chapter 35 What My Mother Taught Me (1)

"I like you."

Looking at Jiang Yujie's face full of tears, Yan Ziqiao felt lost and felt betrayed.

Liking is disgusting and ugly, this concept has been deeply rooted in her heart since she was a child, and has never been shaken for a moment.

"Wow, Ziqiao, long time no see, you have grown a lot taller."

The gray-haired woman bent down her plump body with a pleasant smile, first touched Yan Ziqiao's head, and then asked the woman who was holding Yan Ziqiao: "Hui Ling, is she in the fifth grade of elementary school now? Are you serious?" They are becoming more and more similar, both mother and daughter are out-and-out beauties."

"No, it's you who won the prize."

On Yan Huiling's beautiful and charming face, there are almost no traces left by the years. The smooth forehead and deep eyes can easily attract the attention of others just by standing there casually.

A beautiful and temperamental mother, gentle like a spring breeze, almost everyone thinks so, right?

Only she knows what is hidden under that delicate mask.

Yan Ziqiao raised her head and looked up at Yan Huiling's side face. From this angle, she could see the corners of her mother's mouth raised slightly, sweet, elegant, and chilling. She was most afraid of seeing her mother's smile, because it often represented new fears and shadows. hit.

On a rainy afternoon, she carried her schoolbag as usual and walked towards her home along the wet road. Her home is located in a relatively lively area in Miaoli, and the alleys are full of flowers no matter day or night. Pretty tourists.

Turning around the corner of the street, the mailbox that was knocked over by a locomotive not long ago, and the black Mercedes parked in front of Tutiancuo, made her heart sink.

"Come back, we're going out to eat today, go to the room and change the uniform."

As soon as the door was opened, Yan Huiling was greeted with a face full of smiles. Yan Ziqiao looked towards the sofa, and there was a man in a suit with a well-groomed hair sitting there.

When Yan Ziqiao was hesitant, Yan Huiling stretched out her hand and gave her a gentle push, and urged her in a low voice, so she opened her mouth and shouted to the man: "Hello, Uncle Chang."

Liu Changrui showed a kind smile and nodded to Yan Ziqiao. It could be seen that there were a few strands of silver in his neatly combed hair, which was impossible to ignore even if one wanted to.

After entering the room, she took out the flip phone in her schoolbag and sent a text message to the woman whose communication name was 'Zhen Zhen'.

The content is only a short sentence: Uncle Chang is here today.

After sending out the text message, she hurriedly changed into casual clothes, returned to the living room before Yan Huiling went upstairs and knocked on the door, and followed her mother and Liu Changrui to the Mercedes.

"I reserved a very good restaurant in the city, but it's a bit far away, but I think Ziqiao will like the food there." Liu Changrui said while starting the car, Yan Huiling was sitting in the passenger seat, holding a small Round mirror for makeup.

Yan Ziqiao perfunctorily hummed a few times. She was looking intently at a young couple outside the car window. They walked out of the McDonald's with a boy who was younger than her. The boy held a children's meal in his arms. Carton, talking and laughing with parents.

very nice.

Looking at the backs of the family of three, she thought dumbly.

When we arrived at the destination, as Liu Changrui said, it was a very high-end restaurant with five floors, the walls were covered with pure white marble, and the pillars were hung with bright red flags. Even a primary school student like her could see it. , every sculpture and decoration inside must be expensive, silver candlesticks, lily white silk tablecloths, everywhere is filled with a luxurious atmosphere.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the three of them sat in the box on the fourth floor, and the mother sat side by side with Liu Changrui opposite her, muttering something head to head from time to time.The salad came out very quickly. Yan Ziqiao lowered her head and skillfully picked up the tomato with utensils. Since entering the restaurant, she has never said a single word. She only hoped to use this to reduce her sense of existence. She was terrified of being there. In the mouths of the two---whether it is Liu Changrui or mother, they heard their own names.

It's a pity that the sky always doesn't follow people's wishes. When she finally got through the appetizers and soup, Liu Changrui changed the subject.

"Speaking of Ziqiao, aren't you in the fifth grade now? You're not far away from junior high school, and you should need more textbooks and the like... Ah, maybe you need tutoring, right? Will it be enough for living expenses? ?”

Yan Ziqiao's hands holding the knife froze in mid-air, and she looked into Yan Huiling's eyes almost subconsciously.

Yan Huiling had a smile-like expression on her face, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes, only empty and cold, as if warning her.

She shuddered uncontrollably.

"...It's true. I've been thinking about tutoring recently. There are a lot more teaching materials and textbooks. Mom should be worried too, so the money really isn't enough..."

After hearing Yan Ziqiao's words, Liu Changrui said to Yan Huiling with half relief and half blame: "You are really too, why didn't you tell me that you don't have enough money?"

Yan Huiling lowered her eyes, as if she wanted to hide the tears that flickered in her eyes: "After all, you have other people to take care of, and I don't want to trouble you all the time. For me, as long as you come to see our mother and daughter, I'm ready I'm very happy, Ziqiao is also a sensible child, the big deal is a little tight, our mother and daughter can also—"

"Hey, idiot, it's not troublesome, no matter how you say it, I'm very---" Liu Changrui stopped hastily when he said this, and quickly glanced at Yan Ziqiao, "---a good friend, Ziqiao again It's your daughter, how can I let you go? As for the money, I will..."

Yan Ziqiao didn't hear what they said next, or she didn't listen on purpose.

She and her mother are not short of money at all. She is only in the fifth grade of elementary school, and the cost of textbooks can be as much as she has. With excellent grades, she has never thought of tutoring or learning talents.Every week, my mother would go to the department store with those so-called sisters to buy all kinds of luxury goods...

Mother, was the first person who taught her to lie.

After finishing this uncomfortable meal, she returned to her room on the third floor of Tutiancuo and opened the foldable mobile phone.

'Zhen Zhen' has replied to her message: Really?Liu Changrui is here?If this is the case, there is nothing I can do. I will see you tomorrow. ps: If you really can't stand him and your mother, just ignore them.

The small note at the back warmed Yan Ziqiao's heart, and she felt like she was not alone. She sent back a message: Thank you, auntie, it's a deal.

Put down the phone and take a deep breath. There is no toilet on the third floor where her room is located. If she wants to use it, she must go down to the second floor or the first floor to use it. She is used to going to the toilet first before going to bed, but only at this time, She didn't really want to go down, to be precise, she didn't want to pass Yan Huiling's room, because---

"...Your wife, what did you say?"

"I told her that I will be on a business trip today and tomorrow, and I have already told Xiao Peng."

"That's good……"

Yan Ziqiao secretly regretted, why didn't she just go a little farther and go to the bathroom on the first floor, because no matter how hard she tried to cover her ears, she still couldn't stop the whispers of her mother and Liu Changrui from passing through the thin walls to the bathroom and into her ears In the end, she chose to abandon her armor and throw herself into the war, silently washed her hands in front of the sink, and then went upstairs with silent steps.

You're used to it anyway, aren't you?Whether it's 'Uncle Chang''s regular visits, the conversations between him and his mother.The gossip that the neighbors talk about in private...

Have you heard?The girl named Zi Qiao, she---

next morning.

Liu Changrui was still dressed in a neat suit. Yan Huiling stood in the entrance and carefully tied his tie, while Yan Ziqiao put on his uniform again, holding his schoolbag in one hand and cell phone in the other, and slowly came down the stairs. He tried his best to delay going downstairs until it was too late, but he didn't expect that Liu Changrui hadn't left yet.

"Huh? Ziqiao, your mobile phone is still the old traditional one. I think it's time to change to a smart one."

Liu Changrui saw her mobile phone sharp-eyed, and said this sentence without thinking. Yan Ziqiao didn't say anything. What she hated the most was Liu Changrui's self-righteousness to make decisions for others.

Liu Changrui's Mercedes drove out of the block, Yan Huiling turned around, her gentle expression collapsed in an instant, leaving only a face of contempt.

"man."

Yan Huiling let out a 'pooh' in disgust, and casually rolled up her long brown hair, then changed her face at the speed of a Sichuan opera to change into a mother-like expression, and whispered softly to Yan Ziqiao: "Are you going out? Be careful on the way to school Oh, because, you are mother's most precious gem."

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, when Yan Huiling said these words, her fingers caressed the bracelet made of diamonds and labradorite on her slender wrist.

Thanks to this episode in the morning, Yan Ziqiao's mood was extremely bad throughout the day, and the only thing she looked forward to was that her aunt promised to come and see her after school.

But before that time, after the first get out of class in the afternoon, when a naughty boy threw eraser crumbs on her hair for the fourth time, she couldn't help but explode.

"Hey, Lai Renjie, don't go too far!"

"Okay, Renjie, aren't you already very upset if you don't see him? If you do this again, I'm going to report to the teacher.

Yang Zongru, who was seated next to him, frowned, put down the English exercises he was holding in his hand, and glared at Lai Renjie, who had a hippie smile on his face.

Boys are very naive creatures who like to play tricks on others, Yan Ziqiao has always thought so since he was a child.

Yang Zongru was probably the only exception. Every time when Lai Renjie made some jokes to her that made her unhappy, he would be the first to stand up and speak for her, and because there was a long overlap between the two on their way home, So she often leaves school with him, and there is always endless talk between them.

Yan Ziqiao admitted that she cared about him very much, and also had a good impression of him beyond friendship for such a gentle man.

He was the first person she fell in love with.

When Lai Renjie heard Yang Zongru's words, he was a little upset and said: "It's none of your business. You threaten us all day long to sue the teacher. You only pretend to be a good person in front of girls. I just want to bully her."

He stretched out his hand to pull Yan Ziqiao's hair, Yan Ziqiao was startled, and swung Lai Renjie's hand away vigorously. Lai Renjie took a step back unsteadily after being shaken by her, and his elbow hit Yan Ziqiao's table just like that kettle.

'pound'!

The glass kettle shattered to the ground, and the whole class suddenly fell into silence, everyone looked at this side.

Lai Renjie himself was frightened, he didn't expect things to turn out like this: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break your kettle, I just wanted to play a joke on you, but I accidentally bumped into it... really I'm so sorry, I, I-"

He frantically tried to pick up the fragments on the ground, but was stabbed by the sharp glass instead.

Yan Ziqiao didn't have any expression on her face, but her slightly trembling lips revealed the anger in her heart.

As if she wanted to release all the pressure accumulated last night and this morning, she finally couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.

A few minutes later, in the tutor's office.

"...Okay, okay, thank you, I will tell them, sorry to bother you, goodbye."

The instructor hung up the phone, let out a long sigh, and then turned her chair to face the two students standing by her desk: "Renjie, I have informed your mother about this, and she said that she will pay for Ziqiao's water bottle for you, It was indeed your fault, even if it wasn't intentional, you still have to apologize to Ziqiao."

"Yan Ziqiao, I'm sorry." Lai Renjie apologized to Yan Ziqiao sobbing, his eyes swollen like walnuts.

"Zi Qiao, Renjie didn't do it on purpose, so just forgive him, come on, let's hold hands, we'll be good friends from now on, okay?"

Under the urging of his mentor, Yan Ziqiao reluctantly reached out to shake hands with Lai Renjie to make peace.Then, the instructor asked them to go back to class first, but Yan Ziqiao stayed behind.

"What's wrong?" the teacher asked.

There was a bit of grievance in Yan Ziqiao's tone: "I have something to ask the teacher, why does Lai Renjie always tease me? Obviously I didn't do anything."

The instructor gently stroked her face: "Well... probably because Renjie likes you."

"Like me?" Yan Ziqiao couldn't understand at all.

"Yeah, because he likes you, he hopes to attract your attention. It's just that he used the wrong method, which caused your disgust. But I believe that Renjie has no malicious intentions. He should have learned his lesson this time. , if he does this again in the future, you come and tell me, and I will reprimand him."

The instructor softly comforted Yan Ziqiao who was still silent, and let her go out first.

"Jojo, are you okay? What did the teacher say?"

Kuai Rong is Yan Ziqiao's fairly good friend in class, and it's already the end of get out of class time, so she stood by the gate of the tutor office early, waiting for Yan Ziqiao to come out.

"The teacher said that Lai Renjie bullied me because he liked me. He didn't have any malice, so he asked me to forgive him. What is it?" The teacher's explanation not only did not comfort Yan Ziqiao, but made her even more angry, but Kuai Rong After listening to it, he laughed indifferently.

"Hey, everyone can tell that Lai Renjie likes you. Although he went too far this time, it's because he likes you? Don't be so angry, you are a little too narrow-minded."

Careful?Maybe this word offended her, Yan Ziqiao changed her usual amiable image, and retorted unceremoniously: "So you mean that as long as you like it, you can do things that make others feel uncomfortable. Pulling my ponytail, hiding my pencil case, breaking my water bottle, if once liked, it is an obligation to tolerate these things, then I would rather never be liked."

After saying these words, she left Kuai Rong, who was full of astonishment, and left.

Depression made Yan Ziqiao lose energy all day long. She didn't understand, could it be that, disregarding the client's thoughts and approaching selfishly, this is the definition of "like"?

After packing her schoolbag, she covered her face with her hands wearily, trying to drive all the words of others out of her head.

"Are you okay?"

When she turned her head, it was Yang Zongru, who was carrying a schoolbag and looking at her with concern.
