designer who lives in the next room

"Is that considered resistance? Iori Kyoko, do you think that is called resistance?" Li Zixi suddenly stood up from the stool, "Put aside all the things you don't like, and think it is resistance if you don't see them, yes , during that time you did what you wanted to do and wore the clothes you wanted to wear, but now, you are still the same now, sitting in the office wearing high heels and these uncomfortable uniforms, you still have to Be as well-bred as a young lady, even with people who annoy you."

"So what you are doing is not resisting at all, you have never resisted at all, you have not changed anything, Iori Kyoko, what you are doing is just escaping, escaping from things you don't like." Li Zixi continued, By now she was really agitated.

"Whether it's about the things in your family, or about us and Su Yuxi, you have been avoiding all the time. You are afraid of being blamed, and you are afraid that we will look at you coldly because of your father's attitude towards us, but that What's the matter? Is it better to be friends with those daughters who are smiling and not smiling than us ordinary people?" Li Zixi pointed to Iori Kyoko's chest and frowned, "Could it be that you are with the person you like the most? When we love each other, do we have to use material things to satisfy both of us? Obviously, we are eating instant noodles together, and cuddling together is already a very warm thing."

It was probably the first time for Li Zixi to speak in such a tone with someone so much older than him. Even Yui, who was already so familiar with her, would use some honorifics when talking to Yui.

But for Iori Kyoko, who has been emphasizing money, Li Zixi doesn't think she is a mature person at all. Although what she said is indeed right, many things in this world need money, but she seems to have forgotten , two people who love each other need love together.

"I..." Yizhi Kyoko didn't know what to say, the words Li Zixi told her made her unable to say anything.

This is not resistance but escape.

Now that I think about it, it is indeed like this. It turns out that her father had to do this and that by himself, learn those annoying etiquette lessons, and learn more things than others since she was a child. In fact, just dodged.

The short life outside seems to be very comfortable and happy. Although I don't have much money, I can only drink beer on credit. It seems that I have resisted and changed.

But in the end, when we got home, everything was the same.

Not only was he scolded by his father, but he also had to continue to learn those annoying etiquette lessons, do those very troublesome things, and those things that made his father feel that the young lady should do.

The people around him changed from Su Yuxi and the others to those children from the same rich family—those who smiled on the surface but not on the flesh.

Iori Kyoko leaned forward a little, her expression looked a little desperate, and she covered her forehead with her hands.

She has realized that the so-called "resistance" things she did were just emotional, and did not make any changes in her life at all.

Moreover, she is a person who seldom gets in touch with others, and she is always thinking of others, but she does bad things with good intentions. Thinking about it now, the things she thinks are right have deeply hurt others.

Especially Su Yuxi, because of her indecision and wanting to solve the problem with the best of both worlds, she must be very sad now.

Maybe, Su Yuxi won't forgive herself anymore.

"Then, what should I do..." Iori Kyoko fell to her knees on the ground with a nervous breakdown, "I really want to stay with you, although you may not regard me as so much Good friends, but at least I'm very happy when I'm with you."

Iori Kyoko covered her face with her hands, it was obvious that she was crying.

"I really like that child...but what should I do now? That child will definitely hate me..."

She was crying very sad, her whole body was shaking, if her father saw her like this, he would definitely lose his temper again.

Li Zixi walked to her side and patted her shoulder lightly.

Although Iori Kyoko's immaturity has caused them a lot of trouble, everyone will do wrong things, and everyone will have an immature side. Whether it is Iori Kyoko or Nanako, sometimes they need others to come Give them a hand.

"It's useless even if you cry to death now." Li Zixi lifted Yizhi Kyoko's face with her hands, and as she expected, Yizhi Kyoko's face was already crying, "Just keep crying like this, Su Yuxi I won't forgive you either."

"Then, what should I do..." Iori Kyoko asked while sniffling, trying hard not to cry.

"I just came here to think of a solution with you." Li Zixi let go of Iori Kyoko's face, "But I'm not for you, I just don't want my junior to harass my Nanako again."

Volume [-]#Which one do you choose?

"Eh?" Iori Kyoko suddenly stopped crying, she looked at Li Zixi in surprise, obviously very surprised by what she just said, "Has that child Su Yuxi ever harassed Nanako?"

"Well..." That was something that Li Zixi didn't want to mention, so she didn't intend to describe it to Yizhi Kyoko in detail. Besides, if Izhi Kyoko knew that Su Yuxi had done such a thing, God knows Yizhi Will Kyoko have other thoughts, "Well, that matter is not very important, the most urgent thing now is that you have to make changes!"

It can be heard that Li Zixi doesn't want to talk about that matter, even Iori Kyoko who is not mature in heart can understand it.

Since others don't want to talk about it, then don't ask. If others don't talk about it, there must be something that you don't want others to know.

"But I really don't know what to do. In this situation, I have no other way." Iori Kyoko's body went limp, and she still knelt on the ground, but at least she stopped crying.

"I think you should call her first." Li Zixi scratched her head, although she said she came to find a way for Iori Kyoko, but in fact she didn't know what to do, but probably she should let Yizhi first Zhi Xingzi and Su Yuxi should get in touch.

"Yes, but I don't think she will answer my call." Iori Kyoko held the phone in one hand, and Li Zixi glanced at something that made her very embarrassed. In Iori Kyoko's phone book, there was only Su Yuxi is a name.

"That's better than you doing nothing." Li Zixi directly took Yizhi Kyoko's phone number, she couldn't understand why this guy was so coy, if she didn't hurry up, Su Yuxi would be completely disappointed After that, Iori Kyoko can cry alone.

Li Zixi helped her dial Su Yuxi's number, and then returned the phone to Iori Kyoko, "No, you can handle the rest yourself."

"I, me, what should I do?" A busy tone came from the phone, Iori Kyoko looked very flustered, after what happened, she didn't know what to say to Su Yuxi at all.

Very tense, I have never been so nervous before.

Iori Kyoko licked her lips with her tongue, preparing to speak at any time.

Her mind was spinning extremely fast, thinking about what to say to Su Yuxi, but just after she finally had a clue, the other end of the phone suddenly hung up.

The sound of "beep—" stopped abruptly, and Iori Kyoko's trembling body also stopped.

She looked very disappointed, pursing her lips and staring at the tiles on the floor.

Su Yuxi hung up the phone directly, and did not send any text messages.

"It's no wonder, she doesn't seem to forgive you so easily." Although Li Zixi knew that it was not good to say such things, but it was also the truth, even if she didn't say Iori Kyoko, she should understand.

"Now do you know how much you have gone too far?" Li Zixi took Iori Kyoko's hand, and she pulled it up from the ground, "That child is actually no better than you, or , that child is almost as lonely as you."

It is very quiet outside, probably because of the winter, few people go out, the outside world seems to be still.

While looking out the window, Li Zixi held the still warm teacup and said to Iori Kyoko.

Iori Kyoko didn't answer her, although she had thought that such a situation might happen before, but after it really happened, she was still very heartbroken.

A sense of self-blame and loneliness surrounded her, pinching her throat tightly, making it impossible for her to breathe properly.

Li Zixi turned her head and glanced at Iori Kyoko who was stunned, then sighed.

Now it seems that it is not surprising that Iori Kyoko will know her at all. There is an old saying in Li Zixi's hometown, "Likes flock together, and people are divided into groups". It seems that there is no connection, but in essence they are all lonely, and they are all "hedgehogs" one by one.

"Do you want to know about that child?" Li Zixi asked Yizhi Kyoko, but she didn't get an answer. Yizhi Kyoko seemed to be in a daze, she was still thinking about the phone call that was hung up just now.

"That child grew up alone since she was a child, and she is different from you. She is just an ordinary family. Although she doesn't have to think about inheriting the family's business, to be honest, she is tired enough to live. "Li Zixi didn't look at Iori Kyoko, but looked out the window, and said in the direction of the villa, "It's probably because of me that made that child so lonely."

"Because of you?" Iori Kyoko asked with some doubts.

She was still listening to Li Zixi's words, how could she not be curious about Su Yuxi's story, she didn't want to talk but was afraid that she would cry again if she opened her mouth.

"Yes, it's all because of me." Li Zixi nodded, she seemed to be tired of seeing the unchanged scenery outside, so she turned around and leaned against the window, "In China, that child and I are neighbors, And younger than me."

"When I was young, no matter what I did, I would be praised by others. Maybe I was very good at acting when I was young, and I would always do things that make adults happy to win performances, but the result of doing so is, It made Su Yuxi, who was still very young and innocent at the time, not liked by others." Li Zixi became a little sad when she said this, and she didn't even mention these words to Nanako.

"In fact, she is not stupid at all, and she is a very cute child, but because of me, she is regarded as a very dull child by others and even her parents." Li Zixi lowered her head, "Since then In the beginning, Su Yuxi would be told by others every day that she would not be of much use when she grows up, because Li Zixi is so smart, Su Yuxi looks very stupid."

"Since she was a child, she has been enrolled in various cram schools by her family. When other children run out to play, she has to carry her schoolbag to take those classes that are useless, even when her parents are on vacation. Taking her out to play, the most common sentence she heard was 'Look at Li Zixi...'" When Li Zixi said this, she paused, and she glanced at Iori Kyoko, as if she was very concerned about these words. Some feelings, because the childhood of the two of them still have similarities.

"Although that child is smiling every day, she must hate me very much. If there is no Li Zixi, then she will be the object of praise by others. If there is no Li Zixi, then her parents will not repay her so much. During the holidays, I have time to play with her, which can make her not so lonely." Li Zixi frowned, "So, while smiling and being with me, she chose to take revenge on me. .”

"She fell in love with Nanako, of course before she met you. To be honest, I don't know if she really likes Nanako, or if she just wants to take revenge on me, the person who made her childhood miserable." Li Zixi Looking into Iori Kyoko's eyes, she didn't know if telling this matter would make Iori Kyoko mind, "But she failed, she tried everything she could to get Nanako to be with her, revenge failed."

Iori Kyoko also knew the next thing, she moved out of the villa and went to Iori Kyoko's neighbor.

It's just that the version Iori Kyoko heard at the time was just "the rent there is too expensive.", such an answer.

"I don't say these words to tell you that Su Yuxi is a bad person. On the contrary, she is a very cute child. She tries everything she can to get people to notice her. She just wants to live the life she wants. , This is the same as you, Iori Kyoko, just like you want to live a free life, Su Yuxi just wants others to pay attention to her, instead of living in the shadow of others." Li Zixi put down the teacup, and the tea in the cup It was completely cold, "But she is different from you. She resisted her own destiny, although she used the wrong method."

"Resisted...?" Iori Kyoko repeated to herself, thinking of the girl who was younger than herself, who was also lonely and painful. Although she used the wrong method, she at least tried to resist.

Instead of standing still like this now.

"That child wraps herself up tightly. Although you see her often chatting and laughing with me, you still have a grudge against me in your heart, but you are different. Su Yuxi has only been against me so far. You open your heart by yourself, and you only show a lonely look to you." Li Zixi moved closer to Iori Kyoko to let her hear her words more clearly, "Also, I want to say that there is no such thing as perfect in this world. Sometimes, if you want to get something, you have to give up something.”

"Now for you, for Iori Kyoko, there are only two choices, one is the enterprise and the rich life, and the other is Su Yuxi and the hard life." Li Zixi pointed at the Looking at Iori Kyoko's heart, "Think about it yourself, which one do you want to choose in your heart?"

The answer to this question seems to be obvious. If she really didn't have any feelings for Su Yuxi, then Iori Kyoko wouldn't talk so much to Li Zixi now.

But she still thought about it very seriously, and finally gritted her teeth and stood up. She looked into Li Zixi's eyes and told her very seriously, "I think, I will choose Su Yuxi and still have hard days."

Li Zixi laughed, and Iori Kyoko's answer satisfied her, "Here, here is the key to the villa. The child is in the room from now on."

Iori Kyoko held the key in her hand, and then shook off the high heels on her feet, "Then I'll go find her."

"Yes." Li Zixi sat down, "I wish you success."

"I will work hard." Iori Kyoko was about to run out barefoot, but she stopped suddenly, "Oh, by the way, there is makeup remover in the drawer, you should remove makeup, this is really not suitable for you."

"Tsk." Li Zixi glared at Iori Kyoko, "Are you talking to your benefactor? Really!"

Volume [-]# If you hit my daughter for no reason, don't blame me for being rude

Walking on the snow in thick cotton shoes will feel cold feet, not to mention Iori Kyoko who ran out barefoot.

It was enough to see her impatience, her eagerness to see Su Yuxi made her ignore the pain from her feet.

The building of "Iori Enterprise" is still a little far away from Su Yuxi's apartment. Iori Kyoko, who was running on the snow, could no longer feel the existence of her feet. She tried her best despite the surprised expressions of the people on the street. Run in the direction of Su Yuxi.

He didn't stay for almost a moment, even his cell phone was ringing crazily.

You don't need to look to know that it is your parents who are calling, and you must have been told by other staff members that you ran out of the company in a hurry with bare feet.

You know, Iori Kyoko's father told the receptionist at the front desk that if Iori Kyoko goes out without authorization during working hours, she should notify them in time.

Yizhi Kyoko has made such a big mess for the family, they will never allow Yizhi Kyoko to run out alone, at least in the recent period, at least until the family suppresses what happened to her go down.

Standing on the tall building and watching Yizhi Kyoko running wildly, Li Zixi made another pot of tea for herself. The hot boiling water made the tea smell wafting out. They are all high-quality tea leaves, and they smell very good.

She was not in a hurry to leave, Li Zixi knew that even if she wanted to leave, it would be very difficult, Yizhi Kyoko ran out of the company without looking back after meeting her, so only Li Zixi knew her whereabouts.

When such a thing happened, her parents would definitely be very angry. If it was really what Iori Kyoko said, then her parents must be on their way here.

The development of the matter was as she expected, the elevator soon arrived at Iori Kyoko's office floor, when the elevator door opened, Li Zixi saw a man with an unhappy face.

"What did you say to Xingzi?" The man's tone was not friendly at all, he looked down on ordinary people like Li Zixi, "Where is that child going now?"

Li Zixi looked at this man from top to bottom. He was wearing a brand-name suit. Li Zixi knew the brand. Her university teacher had told her about this brand.

The leather shoes were polished very brightly, and they didn't stand in muddy water at all because they walked from the snow.

This man called Iori Kyoko "Kyoko", so he was Iori Kyoko's father.

Sure enough, this kind of man is very narrow-minded, the kind of man who values ​​face.

You can tell by the way she looks.

"Yeah, where did Yizhi Kyoko go?" Li Zixi purposely made circles with this man, she wanted to buy time for Yizhi Kyoko, otherwise Yizhi Kyoko would be caught by her father immediately .

"I'm asking you." The man patted the table, he looked very anxious, "Don't think I can't find her if you're walking around with me here!"

Li Zixi shrugged her shoulders, "Then you can go find her, if you can find her."

"You!" The man became furious and slammed the table hard. Although he was mentally prepared, Li Zixi was startled by this blow, "Why do you civilians pester her alone! That child shouldn't stay with you guys!"

This sentence made Li Zixi frowned, she hated to hear this sentence, what happened to common people, if there were no common people like Li Zixi, then what about the "Yizhi Enterprise"?

But Li Zixi didn't go back right away, this is the territory of "Yizhi Enterprise", she still has to be careful, and she doesn't feel the pain of reasoning with this man, this man's thoughts are already deeply ingrained.

"I'm asking you for the last time, where did Iori Kyoko go?" The man walked up to Li Zixi and looked at Li Zixi, who had a strange makeup, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude, that child is because of staying with you people." That's why it's so weird."

Li Zixi took a few steps back, she didn't want this man to get close to her, he had the peculiar smell of a person with corrupt thoughts, Li Zixi didn't like this smell very much.

And we must buy time, on the one hand, for Iori Kyoko, and on the other hand, for myself. After Iori Kyoko left, she called Ms. Natsume as soon as she left, and roughly explained the reason for the incident, and said The samurai sword Ms. Natsume gave her was an excuse to let her come here to protect herself.

Natsume is the only one who can communicate face-to-face with such a large enterprise, and when she gave Li Zixi the samurai sword, she said that she would help Li Zixi with anything.

It will take some time for Ms. Natsume to come here, so Li Zixi must delay as much as possible.

"Maybe that child just went to the canteen to buy a cup of coffee. If you go to the canteen now, you might be able to find her." He said a reason casually, and Li Zixi, who was standing by the window just now, saw the canteen across the street, "Believe it or not .”

"I'd be surprised if I believed you, glib guy." The man didn't even look at the canteen, "How anxious do you think you have to be to run out without your shoes on?"

"Then it's hard for me to say, sometimes I just feel anxious, such as when the coffee is about to be sold out." Li Zixi was still talking nonsense, since things have become like this, let's continue like this.

"Slap!" Suddenly there was a slap, and Li Zixi felt the burning pain in her cheek.

"You bastard, you don't know the heights of heaven and earth at all. I'm asking you again, what exactly did you say to Xingzi, and where did she go!" The man looked at Li Zixi who was covering her face, "This slap is just a warning to you. If you don't say anything, I can make it difficult for you to live in Tokyo!"

With burning pain on his face, this man slapped Li Zixi firmly. Li Zixi was very wronged, since he was slapped by such a man.

She was also threatened, but even so, Li Zixi couldn't tell where Yizhi Kyoko had gone, for both Yizhi Kyoko and Su Yuxi, she wanted to help her get rid of this corrupt man.

"Say!" the man roared, and it was obvious that she was impatient.

Li Zixi covered her face and still didn't speak, the man raised his palm again.

She was about to be beaten again, and Li Zixi closed her eyes in fright. Although she was ready to spend her time here, she didn't want to be slapped. Who would want to do such a painful thing?

"I said you..." suddenly heard the voice of high heels, and a woman's voice came from behind the man at the same time, "What's the point of a big man leading so many people to bully a girl?"

The man was taken aback, but quickly turned into anger. He was already in a bad mood, frowning and turned around, only to see Ms. Natsume in a kimono with her hair curled up.
