MTL - If You Are a Dodder Flower-Chapter 6
Xia Rou is not close to Cao Xiong, who came from a "crash" at the age of ten.
At the age of ten, the boys only know that they are flying on the court and playing games, but the girls seem to understand.
That summer, Xiarou did not go to school because of a cold. After lunch, she took the medicine and slept. Woke up and saw the cloudy sky outside, the snow fluttering, I don't know what time it was.
She felt thirsty in her throat and went downstairs to drink water.
The floor heating in the apartment, the marble floor is warm, and in winter, she never wears shoes or even socks. Walking quietly, like a kitten.
Through the living room, I saw a woven knit cardigan falling to the ground. She slammed her hand. Looking up again, I saw Cao Xiong’s black uniform falling at the door of Cheng’s bedroom.
Xia Rou stayed for a moment, and subconsciously walked over and smashed. I heard the strange sound coming from the hidden door...
The ten-year-old girl stupidly pushed the door open a slit...
Two pieces of clothing fell to the floor again, and Xiarou almost climbed up the stairs with his hands and feet.
Later, Cheng Hao went upstairs to see her and found that she was lying in the bed, her face flushed, her body temperature was very high, and she thought she was seriously ill. I don't know that she and Cao Xiong's men and women were met by her daughter.
Xia Rou has been plagued by the majestic rhythm of the man and the slender arm of the woman entwined in the picture of the man's shoulders. I finally understood why there was a room upstairs and the mother’s bedroom was downstairs.
Since then, when Cao Xiong came back for the night, Xia Rou shrank upstairs and did not go downstairs.
Cheng Hao also passed her, and also complained to Cao Xiong that her daughter did not know why she became introverted.
Cao Xiong is well aware of what he did not know.
He was stunned and heard a slight change at that time. Later, I left the bedroom and saw that two pieces of clothes were on the floor of the door. I asked who was at home, and I knew that Xia Rou took sick leave.
When the little girl hit this kind of thing, Cao Xiong was also embarrassed, and he did not say it to Cheng Yu.
From then on, the child saw him and hid behind him. He hanged his head and did not speak. He could not do anything.
Xia Rou does not really hate Cao Xiong.
The seven-year-old child has already made a note. The father's ruthless abandonment and the mother's cowardly death are all branded in her heart.
At that time, it was Cao Xiong who saved his mother. Later, they were also placed by Cao Xiong.
Her heart vaguely understood that the mother and her can live a stable life because of this man's sake. She just didn't know why he wanted to do this, and never thought about it.
She even expected Cao Xiong to be her father. That man does give people a strong sense of security.
He sometimes stays here.
He sat in the living room, smiling at the picture of his mother making tea for him, and also made Xia Rou feel quiet and beautiful.
However, these beautiful things, after that collision, unveiled the veil, and the adult world was forced to open in front of her.
She finally understood the relationship between her mother and Cao Xiong, and the source of this stable life.
Loss is inevitable, but the real blow comes from the contempt behind the aunts of domestic politics.
In the courtyard of the community, Xia Rou accidentally heard the aunts of his own house and the aunts of others.
"Our family, give people a mistress."
"The man is a big official."
"Speaking, she is also in her thirties, not young, really!"
"Small one, I don't know if it is an illegitimate woman. I don't look like the long-haired officer."
"Ha ha ha, that is the mistress's child!"
Xia Rou was still young, and he did not have the courage to rush to quarrel. He could only turn with shame and turned away.
Later, he insisted that Cheng Hao dismissed the aunt of the house, but did not tell him why. Cheng Hao was very helpless, but her daughter insisted and listened to her.
Cheng Yu’s personality is like this. When others are stronger than her, she chooses to obey. After being ruthlessly abandoned by her husband, it is a blessing to meet Cao Xiong and Yu Chengzhen.
Xiarou slowly understood that her mother was like a silk flower. Even if she gave her sunshine and soil, she could not live alone without the trees that could climb.
And she, in every aspect, is so similar to her mother. So after entering adolescence, Xia Rou fell into a kind of fear, lest he would become the same woman as Cheng Yu.
A silk flower that can't live without someone else...
Adolescent girls fall into a paranoia and desperately want to deviate from this form. This paranoia made her stubborn, stubborn, unable to listen to persuasion, and was a stab.
Obviously, there is not enough power, but it is strong.
Every time I want to earn dignity in front of Cao Yang, but I always fall into disarray, relying on him to come to the aftermath...
When Xia Roo opened his eyes in the morning light, he thought, stupid...
Not everyone can be as smart, powerful, and decisive as the brothers of Cao. In this world, is there a stupid person like her, what should I do?
How to work hard, how to catch up, can not catch up with their footsteps, in their shadows, live more and more inferiority.
The more self-esteem, the more self-respecting. This reciprocating has become a vicious circle.
Cao Yang’s arrangements for her, those who persuaded her, are now recalling, aren’t they really for her? In this world, except for the Cao family, it is her biological father, and she will not plan for her.
Others only saw her relationship with Cao, and only wanted to use this relationship to seek benefits.
Really tolerate her, protect her, only Cao's brothers!
Big brother...
I am sorry……
I am sorry!
Big Brother is really raising her as a sister. Thinking of her death message to the big brother, the big brother should be... how angry! It will be... how sad it is.
Will she avenge her?
Although Xia Rou did not see it with his own eyes, he knew that Cao Yang... is bound to avenge her!
Xiarou licked his face, and the tears flowing between the fingers flashed in the morning, and the pillow was wet.
I am sorry……
I am sorry!
Repent or not... don’t listen to you...
In this world, the second day of living in Cao's family, Xia Rou did not feel like the past life, with scornful grievances in his heart, falsely claiming to be uncomfortable and refused to go to the main building for breakfast.
She got up early and applied her eyes with cold water to see the slightly red eyes, which was very frustrating.
Opening the closet, she turned the black skirt aside and chose a light-colored dress. When she heard the knock on the door, she gathered the bangs in front of the mirror and walked over to open the door.
As in previous lives, Fang Fang is knocking on the door, but her attitude is much better than her previous life. She looked at the skirt of Xiarou and watched the child listen to her advice into the ear. She was very satisfied, and she began to like it with pity.
In the eyes of the elderly, obedient children are always lovable.
"Breakfast is in the main building, go, don't let them wait for you for too long." She said, "Do you know where the restaurant is? Use me to accompany you?"
"No, I have been there yesterday." Xiarou said, "You are busy with you, I can find it."
When I arrived at the restaurant, three men who had not seen yesterday appeared.
"Xiaorou, come, sit here." Cao Yang saw her and said hello. The men turned around and looked at her.
Xiarou, but because of seeing Cao Xiong's first look, he stopped. I can't believe it, this man is actually at this time... still so young?
In the memory of Xia Rou, Cao Xiong, clearly an old man who has already had white hair and really reached the next year. At present, Cao Xiong, although he is already in his fifties, but because of the good maintenance, only two of them are white, it seems to be an energetic middle-aged.
Why is he... so old in the next decade?
After the burial of Cheng Yu, Cao Xiong was also the first to see Xia Rou. Although it was only a few days away, he was keenly aware that the girl in front of her was not the same as the girl who passed out at the funeral a few days ago.
Seeing him is not like he used to, avoiding his gaze and bowing his head and not talking.
She hasn’t stared at him so much for years, so much that he forgot, the child’s eyes... it’s like this!
He blinked for a moment, as if he saw the feminine and beautiful woman again. When I want to look at it, I find that those eyes are more secluded than the eyes of the shackles, but they are less gentle and charming.
There was a sudden loss in his heart.
"Xiarou." He forcibly interrupted his emotions and called her, "Come for dinner."
"Yeah." Xiarou bowed his head and replied softly. "uncle."
The men saw it, and a tear of tears flashed and dripped on the girl's shoes. There was a moment of silence in the dining room.
The first to break this silence is Cao Xiong’s second son Cao Bin.
"The big girl." He said, "Remember me?"
How can you not remember?
Xia Rou sat down in Cao Yang's first chair and looked at Cao Bin.
Second brother.
"Cao Bin brother." She whispered.
Looked at Cao Xing sitting opposite.
Third brother.
"Cao Xing brother." She also called him.
Including Cao Xiong and the four brothers who have not returned to China, this table is really good for her, willing to care for her.
Giving her a stable life, she is barely smiling and tolerant of her childishness. After she disregarded their opposition and insisted on their engagement, they were still helpless, but they still stood behind her as her mother.
And she disappointed them.
Xiarou licked his hand and didn't want to let the atmosphere on the dinner table fall into a downturn.
The men were relieved to see that she could control her emotions. They all have the experience of dealing with adult women, but they feel helpless about how to treat such a half-size girl.
It was Cao Xiong, and he was a bit overwhelmed. His sons, he used to be a military training, but this way of raising children obviously cannot be applied to this little girl with thin shoulders, slender arms and thin cheeks.
Several people glanced at each other and their minds were connected.
The child who suddenly came out of the house, in the end... How to raise it?
