I was on the clouds

Seeing her here, the woman's cloyingly sweet smile froze on her face.

Ye Xi sneered, put the book heavily on the coffee table, stepped forward and pulled her father's arm from the woman's hand.

Anger was rolling in her heart, and Ye Xi couldn't help but tighten her hands. Her father glanced at her, pulled his tie, and turned to the woman, "You can go back directly in Xiao Wu's car."

The woman forced a smile, and looked at Ye Xi secretly with eyes with false eyelashes. When she was leaving, she turned her head frequently, Ye Xi sneered, and kicked the door hard.

As soon as the door was closed, Ye Xi's face became completely gloomy. She gave her father a gloomy look, seeing that he was not seriously sober and drunk, she immediately let go of her arms and hugged the book on the coffee table, turned around and left.

A voice came from behind: "Ye Xi".

The fingers holding the book were clenched for a moment, and she went upstairs without looking back.

"Ye Xi, come down and stay here for a while."

Ye Xi turned around and said coldly: "I haven't finished reciting the words."

Ye Desheng's expression froze for a moment, and then he quickly said with a little helplessness: "Ye Xi, your obsessive-compulsive disorder should be changed."

Ye Xi retorted: "You should also change your habit of bringing women home."

Ye Desheng's expression froze, and he said helplessly: "Including this time, there are only three times in total. There are too many entertainments, and I can't escape."

"Three times, the number of times I bumped into him is three times in total. When I was in school, who knows what people you brought back, are you so short of money to stay in a hotel?"

Ye Xi heard that her own voice was as sharp and mean as a mouse spirit, but she couldn't help being mean when facing this kind of thing. Although she knew that what he said was true most of the time, she just wanted to vent her anger on him.

"I've already said that it's entertainment, why are you losing your temper with me, without me working hard outside, who can give you enough food and clothing, Ye Xi, you are used to living a good life, don't you hate me for bringing women home, believe it or not God, I'll find you a stepmother."

After he said this, Ye Xi couldn't help shaking his hands in anger, and threw the copy of the exercise and the vocabulary book at Ye Desheng, and she roared angrily: "Ye Desheng, you can find as many women as you like, but You don't even want to lead any of them here, or I'll kill her."

After Ye Xi finished speaking, the room became strangely quiet, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The father at the bottom of the stairs was raising his head and looking at her silently, scrutinizing, apprehensive, and loathing, it was difficult for Ye Xi to describe this look, because it contained too complicated things, so no words could sum it up well.

She had seen such eyes 12 years ago.

As soon as the words were spoken, Ye Xi couldn't take them back. Ye Xi regretted not falling down, but his face was strong, and he could only pretend to be calm and said: "I was angry just now, so you can take it if you like it. I will live when the time comes." Just be in Beijing."

Ye Desheng frowned slightly, still looking at her silently.

Ye Xi's heart was beating violently, and her palms were sweating. She didn't want to stay here for a second, so she walked upstairs stiffly with her head down.

In the future, I can't be so impulsive anymore, and I can't say such stupid things in front of Ye Desheng just because he is her father.

She rubbed her eyes, and the regret in her heart kept churning, and the incident 12 years ago resurfaced in her heart.

In fact, Ye Xi can't tell which one it is. She has done too many wrong things and made too many mistakes. She has regretted and blamed herself. There is no other choice.

There was a layer of faint tears in Ye Xi's eyes, which were quickly suppressed. In just a few seconds, her eyes turned into cold stones again.

The schedule is still pasted on the wall in front of the desk, with today's tasks written on it with a thin gold plate, and all completed tasks are marked with red lines, only the task of "memorizing words" at the bottom is not completed .

Ye Xi glanced at the schedule, and immediately felt that there was nothing more important than her schedule.

There are still things to do right now, and I can no longer think about these messy things in my head. There is not much sand left in the hourglass on the desk, and today will soon pass.

The vocabulary book was thrown downstairs by Ye Xi in a fit of anger. The first floor is Ye Desheng's world, and the second floor is her territory. The father and daughter have always been distinct, and neither of them stays too much in another's place. Ye Xi went downstairs to look for him, and if he was really too lazy to go, he just called him.

What's more, there was a big quarrel just now, and she really didn't want to think about the way Ye Desheng looked at her back then, so she had no choice but to turn on the tablet and download the PDF to read.

She is a sophomore this year, and she got high scores in IELTS and GRE. She doesn't want to stay in school for four years, and is planning to transfer to MIT.

Before I knew it, I quickly memorized the [-] words, many of which I encountered when I was reading the English original. In fact, when I was in my third year and fourth year, I needed to read the original English version of many mathematics textbooks. English is not good. It is simply a fatal flaw.

Regarding English, it used to be the most painful subject for Ye Xi in middle and high school, even though she got full marks in many exams later.

She remembered that when she was young, her father was still an unknown little lawyer. At that time, he had just arrived in Shanghai to work hard, and he took her to Shanghai after he bought a dilapidated small house. He spent a lot of money at that time. It took a lot of effort to get her into a very good elementary school.

Before that, Ye Xi always went to school in a small house in the countryside, and he had to walk a long way with his cousin Ye Sheng every day to go to school. The ground of that school was paved with red bricks, which were covered with mud, and the windows in the corridor were all covered with bricks. It’s broken. In winter, a stove will be set up in the classroom, and they will take turns to add firewood to it, but no matter how the iron stove burns, the classroom is very cold, the biting cold is hard to resist, and sometimes it is written with fingers I was so stiff that I couldn't hold the pen.

The teachers at the school were all extremely stupid. The bald, hunchbacked, monkey-cheeked teacher who taught them nature said "flour is soluble in water" that she still remembers.

At that time, she came to the new elementary school to study in the fourth grade. It was the first time she knew that the elementary school had to learn English. When some of the classmates around her spoke English as fluently as Chinese, she could not even sing a complete ABCD English song. When she couldn't sing, she cried when she saw English, and when she couldn't learn it, she was so sad that she didn't want to live.

When Ye Xi stumbled to get promoted to Lansheng Middle School, her English was definitely the worst in the school. Compared with her classmates, her English level was even bigger than that of a human and a dog.

So she frequently asks tutors and remedial classes. During the winter and summer vacations of junior high school, she has to study the next year’s courses in remedial classes. After remedial classes, she has to practice conversations with foreign teachers. I can't go to bed until twelve o'clock, and I have to get up at five o'clock the next morning to listen to the BBC and talk shows.

After a lot of hard work, her English level gradually narrowed the gap with her classmates, but most of the time she couldn't get a full score in the test, and sometimes it was about 15 points lower than the full score, and her parents would be asked.

In the first semester of junior high school, Ye Xi has already firmly ranked in the top ten of her grade. With almost full marks in her other subjects, but English is seriously hindered, as long as her English is about 10 points away from the full mark, she will be punished by the English teacher. Shout into the office.

In the years of high school, she was even more tired, and was busy participating in various competition trainings. Whenever she was free, her father would take her abroad, take her to the mall, go to Disney, go to restaurants, and let her talk to others in English all by herself. .

Thinking of these old events, she suddenly felt sad, and she didn't know what she was sad about, maybe she was sad that she didn't become what her parents expected.

There were footsteps outside the door, and the door of the room was knocked three times. Her father's voice came from behind the door, in a low voice: "Ye Xi, your vocabulary book and materials, today you are not going to recite vocabulary Why don't you go downstairs to pick it up?"

I can't tell how I feel in my heart at this moment, the tears that I just suppressed burst out all at once, and several drops fell away.

Ye Xi wiped his eyes, and opened the door slowly after his complexion returned to normal.

Ye Desheng stood behind the door, still wearing the same suit, holding the books that Ye Xi threw on him, and those books and copied materials were neatly stacked.

"It's too late today, go to bed early, you are only a sophomore this year, everything is in time, don't be in such a hurry."

Ye Xi took the book and tried to make his voice sound natural and steady: "I often feel that time is too little, and you also know that my English is not good all the time."

Ye Desheng smiled, with a trace of imperceptible fatigue on his face: "Although I am a lawyer and have won countless lawsuits, I have never persuaded you, Ye Xi, you are too egotistical."

Ye Xi looked up at him and said, "I never convinced you, Dad."

The father and daughter looked at each other for a while, and after a while they laughed together.

"You look like your mother, but your personality is like mine. You have not inherited any of your mother's weakness and kindness. Do you remember why I objected to letting you study law?"

Ye Xi replied: "Probably because I was afraid that I would lose control and go further and further on the road of doing bad things."

Ye Desheng glanced at her with a smile, and said softly: "It's good that you know."

He looked at Ye Xi's unhappy face, and quickly said: "Go to bed after you finish reciting the vocabulary, and don't get up so early during the holidays. Now no one is forcing you to listen to the BBC."

After Ye Desheng finished speaking, he turned and left. Ye Xi stood behind the door and watched his back disappear at the corner of the stairs.

I don't know when he never looked back at her when he passed the corner like before.

Ye Xi closed the door, turned around and ran to the window, stuck his head out and looked at the light in his room downstairs.

After half an hour the lights went out.

For a moment she felt very alone.

Noisy children are no longer listened to and accompanied by their parents as they used to be.
