Xia Xianyue's phone call was completely opposite to what she expected.
It was just a normal dialing, and I was picked up after a moment.
"···Hello?"
His tone was still cold.
"Teacher Su, what's the matter with calling so late?"
"What else is going on?"
Seeing several pairs of eyes around him, including the inspector's, all looking at him, Su Yao calmed down and asked, "Why is Xiaobai sent to a welfare institution?"
"Xiaobai, have you found Teacher Su?"
"yes."
"It will really cause trouble."
"What are these words?"
"This is my private matter, right? Teacher Su."
The other end of the phone said in a bad tone, "I should have told her about the follow-up and made proper arrangements. If she insists on causing unnecessary trouble, please contact the inspector directly."
"I didn't mean to cause you any trouble. That's fine. I'll contact the inspector and people from the welfare agency now and ask them to pick her up."
"The Inspector is right next to me."
"Okay, please pass the call to the inspector. I'll take care of it."
“···”
Su Yao was silent for a moment and gave the phone call to the inspector.
"Ah, um."
"is that so?"
“···”
"Okay, got it."
The chat between the inspector and Xia Xianyue was much simpler.
The call was quickly hung up.
They looked at Xiaobai and made another call.
"Please check whether there is a child named Xia Xiaobai who is scheduled to be received."
“···”
"Okay, got it."
After verifying it very efficiently, the inspector returned the phone to Su Yao.
"Mr. Su, we have already inquired about the situation clearly."
"It has nothing to do with you."
"We will be responsible for taking away this child next."
“···”
Su Yao was silent for a moment and asked, "Where to take him?"
"The orphanage. Ms. Xia is unable to continue to fulfill her adoption obligations due to personal reasons. Accordingly, sufficient compensation will be paid to the orphanage."
"What's the personal reason?"
"This is a personal matter. Please confirm with her in person."
The inspector waved his hand and faced Xiaobai with a helpless smile.
"Kid, let's go."
"You should also know that continuing to cause trouble like this is not an option."
“···”
Xiaobai's eyes were fixed on Su Yao, and passed over Su Ze and Su Xiaoli behind him one by one.
"Uncle, I'm sorry."
"Xiaobai takes it for granted."
"Okay, Xiaobai is going home. Goodbye uncle, goodbye brother Aze, and goodbye sister Xiaoli."
“···”
The card that was originally intended to go into Su Yao's hand was still tightly held in her hand in the end.
That feeling——
It didn't look like he was holding on to money at all, but more like some kind of hatred.
The words of farewell were also very plain. There were no previous words at all.
In short, this attitude helped the inspector a lot, and it was better to simply take him away without having to persuade or cajole him.
"Baba."
Su Xiaoli pulled Su Yao's clothes from the side, "Xiao Bai looks so pitiful..."
"How pitiful is she?"
"To win the hearts of the class, most of the classmates who were not good to her when she first entered school were punished with a small amount of revenge. Finally, she found me, and it was because of me that she was not bullied back."
"That is to say, you foolishly think that she is really good to you. Let me tell you Xiaoli, she is that kind of-"
"Shut up!"
Su Yao scolded, and Su Ze immediately stopped talking. He returned to the room angrily, and his sister shrank her neck and followed closely.
"Brother, what happened?"
Youye was in the kitchen just now and couldn't spare any time.
Only now did I have time to wipe my hands and come out.
"She sent Xiaobai back to the orphanage."
"I just heard it."
“···”
"So, what does big brother want to do?"
"I think···"
Maybe something will happen?
But the phone was so calm, what should a child's joke be taken seriously?
"I'm hungry."
"Are you hungry?"
Youye cast a confused look, then chuckled, "The meal is already ready."
"But brother, are you really not going to do something? He doesn't look good."
"Anyone who meets him will be confused, right?"
Su Yao sighed, "But the inspector also said it was personal reasons. I just met her, so what can I say?"
"Maybe after eldest brother solves this matter, she will have a good impression of him."
“···”
Su Yao's neck suddenly became stiff, and a soft sound came from the slightest movement.
"It's not funny at all to make a joke like this."
"Huh? But on TV, if the heroine is jealous, she will strengthen her relationship with her husband."
It's really a joke.
dinner.
Today's dinner was probably because Su Ze had been scolded just now, so the two children remained silent. They quickly finished eating, washed up according to the steps, and then returned to the room.
"Brother, it would be better to introduce this allusion here."
"And here, please comment."
“···”
The lesson preparation was almost entirely based on Yu Ye's instructions.
We were able to occasionally discuss it last night, but today the things we talked about turned out to be totally different from those of You Ye.
It just seemed perfunctory.
"Big brother is not in good condition today."
You Ye concluded.
Also, the unilateral assistance in lesson preparation was terminated.
"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Do you want to start over?"
Su Yao is preparing to make a cup of coffee to refresh herself.
"It's not a matter of zoning out."
Youye picked up the cup and made coffee in front of Su Yao.
Put it in front of you, and the heat is still rising.
“···”
"See, that's it."
"You will get stuck looking at the words in the textbook."
"It was the same thing when I looked at the dishes on the plate before."
"Now I'm sinking in the coffee."
"No?"
"Big brother."
You Ye leaned on the side, "How well do you think You Ye knows you?"
"this···"
"As for Youye, at least you can tell at a glance whether the elder brother is thinking about other things."
Youye said calmly, "I heard it. She and her eldest brother were classmates in elementary school a long time ago."
"That...is..."
I think you could hear what Xia Xianyue said to you with all your five senses.
"A good friend from before?"
"...So it is."
"Then big brother wants to help her?"
“···”
Su Yao rubbed her temples, "It's a private matter, so I can't interfere."
"But if Big Brother had asked, he wouldn't have fallen in love with the steaming coffee like he is now, right?"
I didn't expect Youye to say this.
"That's what big brother is like."
"If not, Youye probably wouldn't be able to be with my big brother like he is now."
"At that time, it was because my elder brother was worried about You Ye that he picked You Ye back up from the sewer."
“···”
"The human being who was treated before was also because of his personality. Youye likes this about his big brother."
"Also, if it's a little longer, I have to help a child in Youye."
"Is there such a thing?"
Su Yao smiled bitterly.
"Yes, brother, don't you remember? That child was touching a bird's nest in a tree, and it fell down and died immediately."
Would you do that yourself?
Maybe he fell in front of him and was about to die. If there was no risk, I would ask You Ye to help.
"So, big brother, you don't have to worry about You Ye."
"On the contrary, if big brother needs Youye's help, just tell him directly."
"Youye and eldest brother are now husband and wife. They talk about everything."
"Nothing to say...ha."
Su Yao touched her nose and said, "Sorry, I thought too much."
"Hehe, are you afraid that Youye will be jealous?"
"Let's just say..."
"Brother, do you really plan to bring her back just like you did when you brought her back? Her panda is 73.6% bigger than Youye's."
"No. It's just that when Xiaobai came over just now and said those words, he was a little concerned."
Speaking of which, Su Yao didn't intend to cover it up anymore.
"But there's no need to ask now."
"Just call and ask tomorrow."
"good."
Youye nodded.
"Let's continue preparing for lessons. Just now you were just saying that I was taking notes, and there was nothing in my mind."
"No, You Ye is sleepy."
"Kunkun? Little Heizi finally showed his chicken feet."
"What is Xiao Heizi?"
"You watch variety shows every day recently, don't you know this?"
"have no idea···"
“···”
Su Yao knew what must have happened to Xia Xianyue.
But it is not the same situation as before where I am always ready to die. It is just that because my life experience is completely different from the original trajectory, I may have fallen into some kind of dilemma.
And as oneself, there is no room for intervention.
He said that he would call tomorrow and ask if he really knew something bad, so what should he do? His current position.
List this issue online.
Someone will definitely reply. Since you have chosen this route, you should be consistent and stop eating from the bowl and looking into the pot.
It's not like that.
It's not that I want to gain something, it's really not that despicable.
I just hope that after the person who shared the umbrella with her disappears, she can have a smooth life.
But does this mean that it is fundamentally despicable?
If we didn't have those memories and were lost like her, then there would never be any entanglement. Of course, I would sweep the snow in front of my house by myself.
Isn't it despicable or arrogant to just try to interfere with other people's lives without wanting to gain anything again?
have no idea.
The only thing Su Yao can be sure of is that You Ye is absolutely right. He can be ruthless and ignore strangers or Lin Xiaowan. But Xia Xianyue...
When Su Yao fell asleep, You Ye shrank down and got up.
In the darkness, she peered directly at Su Yao's face with her twinkling pupils. The more she looked at it, the more unfamiliar she felt.
A child who broke his leg.
Where could such a story exist? It was just made up casually.
I suddenly felt strange before. I knew myself, but I had forgotten which office I should go to and which class I should go to.
So does lesson preparation.
In the past, the elder brother would prepare the lessons first, and then check to see if there were any gaps. But now, he is just like the elder brother who just entered the teaching profession, making mistakes everywhere.
Have to doubt.
In other words, it is no longer a suspicion. You can be sure that the big brother in front of you is not the one before. At least it is definitely incomplete or has some extra consciousness that you don't recognize.
Youye's tail swayed from behind, and just one thought could kill the person sleeping in front of him.
But why?
It was also obvious that the older brother who had become a stranger in front of him had become emotionally invested in the child in a short period of time.
For myself, it has been the same as it has been since the beginning.
Very strange.
For a while, Youye didn't know what to do.
The conclusions she could draw were too wonderful. She couldn't say that the person in front of her was not Su Yao, let alone what she should do if it wasn't.
Kill?
Can't do it.
Continue to pretend not to know?
I always feel that I can no longer maintain the love I had before. I always feel that I am someone else.
How to do it?
Youye was really confused. After being silent for a long time, he got back into bed.
But the distance between him and Su Yao was subtly farther than when he first fell asleep.
——
the next day.
Su Yao woke up early.
After all, that boy Su Ze was forced by You Ye's majesty and greeted him with a grin on his face.
My daughter looked like she hadn't slept well.
When Youye tied her tie and went out to back up the car, she heard her daughter say, "Baba, will I never see Xiaobai again?"
"If so, she lives not far from here. If you want to see her, I can take you to play with her on the weekend."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoli's eyes widened.
Anyway, except for Su Ze who was like a genius and thought clearly about everything, Su Xiaoli, who was relatively ordinary, was easy to soothe.
After sending the two children to elementary school, Su Yao drove to the junior high school again.
The class went smoothly because of sufficient and detailed preparation.
There was no class in the afternoon. When I returned to the office, there wasn’t much to correct on my desk.
Is it time?
Quietly walked out of the office and went to the roof of the building where no one was paying attention.
"Crack."
Lighting cigarettes out of habit.
Make a call.
"Hello, the number you dialed is currently unanswered."
"Hello, the number you dialed is currently unanswered."
"Hello, the number you dialed is currently unanswered."
“···”
Silence fell.
I really didn't expect to be unable to contact you.
'Uncle, please help Mom.'
The child's words of trying his best replayed in his mind.
What is it?
That kind of look.
Is it possible that he really has to go to the Xia Group to find her properly?
However, from the current position, there is no rationality at all.
in other words.
If she was really having a bad life, would she have to do anything at the risk of disappointing You Ye?
So what is the previous decision to give up on her and leave with Youye?
This is completely contrary to the decision made ten years ago.
Sometimes I really don’t understand why I have to be so entangled.
If we had reached the present moment without her existence, these things would not have happened.
Ahhh.
That's really what I thought.
But she still happened to be in Dongshi, interspersed in her and Youye's lives. This was of course, because she was born in Dongshi.
Should we blame her for not staying abroad and continuing to live?
What on earth are you thinking about...me?
My mind started to have random thoughts again.
The places she had been to, all she had experienced, even recalled her body. The tiny black mole above the bear.
What exactly is——
"Buzz."
The phone vibrated.
"Hello? Who are you?"
An unknown female voice came over the phone.
"I... am the teacher that Xia Xianyue and I met recently. Because of Xiaobai, who are you?"
"I am Miss Xia's secretary."
"Because the child met the teacher recently, right? That child has nothing to do with Miss Xia now. Please don't keep harassing Miss Xia for such unimportant things. The eldest lady is very busy now and is attending an important meeting."
"beep--"
The phone was hung up.
What is this thing called?
Unable to contact Xia Xianyue, a arrogant secretary hung up the phone. Isn't this her private number?
But nothing happened to her and she is living well now.
Now that you know this, what questions do you have?
Whether her life is going well or not, these are all issues she should consider. Shouldn't it be her current position as an outsider that she should consider?
In the final analysis, what happens to her is definitely not a problem that he should pay attention to.
Just like when I used excuses to deceive myself and tilt the scale in favor of You Ye, I am not 'Su Yao', so the current Xia Xianyue is not the same person I knew at the beginning.
It's so funny, you don't even know what you are doing.
The child said to help her, even just because he didn't want to be abandoned. He wanted to help her and said a good word. If that's what Su Ze said, that's not bad.
Although I really don’t want to think of children as being so scheming——
But that's it, I can't do anything. I shouldn't interfere with the life of Xia Xianyue, whom I don't know anymore. Do your own thing and live a good life for yourself and You Ye. This is the right thing.
Su Yao smoked two cigarettes, didn't smoke any more, and went downstairs back to the office.
After carefully correcting the test papers and assignments, start preparing for the class.
Today we must not fall into the same trap as yesterday. We must show our energy.
I'll go pick up the kids later and give that guy Su Ze a few words to comfort me. If you really don't want to give me face, don't blame me for being ruthless. It's unacceptable to be so disrespectful.
As soon as I think about home and my children, my thoughts are occupied and I have no time to think about anything else.
After class.
It was no different from what Su Yao expected, he went to pick up his children from school.
In the interlude, the female teacher worriedly asked something about Xiaobai.
"I'm not sure about this. I have to ask Miss Xia for details. She probably has her own difficulties."
"Oh, it was obviously fine before, but it was too sudden."
The female teacher shook her head and said, "Sorry, I asked some unnecessary questions."
"No, I think you are much more qualified as a teacher than me."
After the conversation, we took the two children to eat haute cuisine.
Su Xiaoli had always wanted to go to the dessert shop before going there, but when Su Ze heard that he was going to eat sashimi, his eyes went straight.
It seems that he has inherited Youye's bloodline legitimately.
How does this kid look like me? Except for the outline of his face.
When the car drove into the underground parking lot specially set up under the sashimi shop, the two children couldn't wait to get out. It seemed that Su Ze had successfully brainwashed his sister and made her also have a strong interest in the sashimi shop.
"Buzz-"
Just as he was about to get out of the car, Su Yao's cell phone rang.
The caller is, Xia Xianyue.
I was really stunned for a moment, and then hesitantly answered the phone.
"···Hello?"
"Teacher Su."
"You called me three times?"
"Ah, yes. I want to know a little bit about Xiaobai."
"Xiaobai."
Xia Xianyue seemed to have taken a big gulp of something, and she answered in a light tone after a while.
"Teacher Su, this question is very simple."
"If you want to be more likely to be favored and accepted by men, you have to throw away the... hiccups and unnecessary things. Yes, it's a deduction."
"... Are you attracted?"
"Ah, I... seem to be getting married too. That's it."
