At this time, Xiao Yingze, who had been silent until now, spoke.
"Luoluo, have you made up your mind?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yingxi nodded without hesitation.
"Well, I have already submitted my list and will set off in three days."
"You, you are killing first and then showing off. Luoluo, you are too willful this time."
Xiao Zichen had a gloomy look on his face when he heard this. He was angry that his daughter didn't consider the feelings of their parents at all. Who would be willing to watch the child they love in the palm of their hand suffer outside.
Facing her father's anger, Xiao Yingxi stood up, walked to Xiao Zichen's side, took his arm directly, leaned into his arms, and acted coquettishly like she did when she was a child.
"Daddy, I'm not willful, it's just that I have now discovered what I want to do. Very early on, you and Mommy let the three of us know the mission we shoulder. You all hope that I will take over the family charity.
career, but I feel that doing charity is not just about spending some money. I want to do it personally, even if it can only help a small number of people, but that is the result of my hard work."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yingxi raised her head, looked at Xiao Zichen who still had an angry face, pouted slightly and said coquettishly.
"Daddy, Luoluo has grown up. It was you, mommy, and brothers who paved all the paths for me in the past. Now, I hope you can let go and let me do what I want to do.
OK."
Hearing this, Xiao Zichen was angry and emotional at the same time. He was angry because Xiao Yingxi killed her first and told her later, but she was emotional because she didn't expect that the daughter they had carefully cared for had grown up and would have such thoughts.
Xiao Zichen touched Xiao Yingxi's head and said with a look of reluctance.
"Tongcheng is so backward. Why do you, a young lady who has grown up from a young age, open her mouth and reach out her hands, go there to suffer? If you want to do charity, your parents will support you, or you can choose a less...
It’s such a hard-working place to support education, why do you have to go to Tongcheng?”
Xiao Yingxi was a little hesitant after hearing this. She wanted to tell the truth and told these people because no one else was willing to go to Tongcheng. It is estimated that her father would not agree even more.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yingxi explained.
"Since you are going to teach, then choose the most challenging place. Daddy, I want to give it a try and see where my limits are. Just let me go. Maybe one day I can't stand it and come back.
It’s over.”
As she said that, Xiao Yingxi looked at her mother, hoping that she could help persuade her.
Mo Yurou looked at the stalemate between father and daughter, and finally sighed and said to Xiao Zichen.
"Husband, since Luoluo has made her decision, we will respect her choice. You also know this child's character. If you don't hit the wall or look back, just think of it as a training. We can't protect her for the rest of our lives, right?
"
Just as Mo Yurou finished speaking, Xiao Yingze spoke again. He looked at Xiao Yingxi and asked.
"Luoluo, does Gu Jinmo know about going to Tongcheng? He also agreed?"
Upon hearing Gu Jinmo's name, Xiao Yingxi showed a solemn expression on her face, but it was fleeting.
"I haven't told him yet. I will make it clear to him when I go back tomorrow. Second brother, don't worry about me. How are you and Sister Youyou? Why did I hear Aunt Zhang say that you have been living together recently?
at home."
Xiao Yingxi was afraid that her family would ask more questions, so she directly changed the topic, but the way she changed the topic was too obvious. Everyone looked at each other with uneasy expressions on their faces. However, when Xiao Yingze heard her sister's probing,
His face suddenly darkened and he said angrily.
"What can we do? That woman is just a heartless person. Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Luoluo, since you have chosen to teach, my second brother wishes you all the best. If you can't persist,
You can come back anytime, don’t feel embarrassed, understand?”
Xiao Yingxi nodded and said nothing.
After dinner, Xiao Yingxi was about to go upstairs when she found Zhang Lu following her like a little tail. She stopped, looked at Zhang Lu who was a little embarrassed, and frowned slightly.
It has been more than a month since I brought this child back. Although he usually lives on campus, he will go back to live here on weekends. He shouldn't be so restricted. Thinking about it, Xiao Yingxi asked with concern.
"Lulu, are you still used to living here?"
Zhang Lu nodded, obediently grabbed Xiao Yingxi's hand, and said.
"Master, do you really want to go to Tongcheng? I just checked. Tongcheng is so far from Luocheng. Even by plane, it takes more than four hours."
Obviously, Zhang Lu's unhappiness was not because she was not used to living here, but because she couldn't bear to leave Xiao Yingxi.
When Xiao Yingxi heard this, she touched Zhang Lu's head with a smile and said.
"Lulu, haven't we agreed? In private, you can just call me Sister Luoluo. As for Tongcheng, I have to go there because there are many children with dreams like you there, but my ability is limited and it is impossible to
They are all with me, so I can only do my best to go there and help them."
When Zhang Lu heard this, she looked at Xiao Yingxi with hot eyes and said firmly.
"Sister Luoluo, how about you take me there with you? This way, I can ask you for advice at any time. I don't want to be separated from you."
After all, she was still a child and came to this strange city again. Although Xiao Zichen and his wife were very kind to her, in Zhang Lu's heart, the person she relied on the most was Xiao Yingxi, whom she first met.
But Xiao Yingxi refused with a smile. She pulled Zhang Lu upstairs and said as she walked.
"Lulu, I know you are reluctant to let go, but this place is more suitable for you. Don't worry, I will come back to see you as soon as I have time. Now that communications are so developed, we can video chat every day, just like before."
While talking, they arrived at the studio on the second floor. Xiao Yingxi didn't want Zhang Lu to dwell on her trip to Tongcheng, so she said.
"Come, let me see if you have made any progress recently."
Downstairs, Xiao Zichen was still a little worried. After thinking about it again and again, he said to Xiao Yingze.
"No, Yingze, tomorrow you go find out where Luoluo will stay in Tongcheng. Since she has made up her mind, I respect her decision, but I must arrange the accommodation there."
Xiao Yingze nodded and said.
"Okay, I'll call Mr. Ou later. Daddy and Mommy, you guys should go to bed early."
At noon the next day, Xiao Yingxi returned to Huacheng. Within five minutes of entering the apartment, there was a knock on the apartment door. Xiao Ju walked over and opened the door, and saw Gu Jinmo standing at the door.
"Young Master Gu."
"Sister Xiaoju, is Luoluo back?"
While he was talking, Gu Jinmo had already walked in. He didn't even bother to change his shoes, so he took off his shoes and walked towards the living room.
Xiao Yingxi had not put down her bag and was drinking water. When she heard the sound, her eyes flashed slightly and she turned to look at Gu Jinmo, who was looking anxious.
"You're here, didn't you go to school today?"
Although today is Saturday, Xiao Yingxi remembers that there are classes at school in the afternoon.
When Gu Jinmo heard Xiao Yingxi's calm voice, he was in a depressed mood. He looked at Xiao Yingxi with a complicated expression and stared for a long time before speaking.
"You went home?"
Xiao Yingxi nodded, put down her cup, and took off her backpack. As soon as she sat down, Gu Jinmo spoke again.
"I happened to meet Teacher Ouyang this morning, and I learned that you were going to Tongcheng."
Xiao Yingxi still nodded calmly and said.
"Well, I originally planned to tell you this evening. Now that you know it, I don't need to say it again. There is a shortage of volunteers in Tongcheng. I thought that I have almost learned the school lessons anyway, so I will go there by myself.
Just come back and take the exam at the end of the semester."
"Why don't you discuss it with me?"
Gu Jinmo looked at Xiao Yingxi's calm expression and felt very angry, but he was used to giving in, so he just asked a question that was neither serious nor serious.
Xiao Yingxi's expression remained calm, and when faced with Gu Jinmo's inquiry, she just replied lightly.
"Jinmo, this is my work matter, why do I need to discuss it with you?"
Hearing such an answer, Gu Jinmo couldn't bear it any longer. He was disappointed and angry, and roared in a low voice.
"Luoluo, I am your boyfriend, and I am also a volunteer for Wucai Charity Project. Shouldn't you discuss it with me?"
Seeing Gu Jinmo's attitude and atmosphere, Xiao Yingxi's expression remained as calm as water, and she spoke in a soft voice.
"Jinmo, didn't I just say that I planned to meet you in the evening to tell you? Also, you are only a volunteer and have no management rights. Only when it comes to your arrangements do I need to discuss it with you. I hope you can
Public and private matters should be distinguished, do you understand?"
Seeing Xiao Yingxi's consistent expression, Gu Jinmo smiled bitterly, slumped down on the sofa, lowered his head, and said in a low voice.
"Luoluo, do we need to be so clear between us? I am your boyfriend. You are suddenly going to Tongcheng and will stay for several months. Shouldn't you discuss it with me?"
In fact, Xiao Yingxi knew in her heart that her attitude just now was very bad, but there were some things that she wanted to put an end to.
Seeing Gu Jinmo's defeated expression, Xiao Yingxi frowned slightly and sighed, but said nothing.
