"So what exactly do you want?"

Tang Siwen was on the verge of tears, her voice trembling as she asked, "Chen Yuan is ignoring me now. Did you have something to do with that?"

The person on the other end sounded even more smug upon hearing this, immediately taunting her, "Hehe, it's your fault for being so troublesome and unlikeable."

Tang Siwen had only been trying to fish for information, but she was somewhat stunned by the other person's words.

Am I unlikeable?

No.

That's not true.

Zhou Fu likes me very much, He Sijiao also thinks I'm a good person, and Chen Yuan treats me as one of his best friends...

There's nothing wrong with me.

It's your problem!

"Do you want your dad to marry my mom or not? Make it clear!" Tang Siwen said, feigning exasperation.

The other side still said in a playful tone, "Well, I didn't want to at first, but now I kind of do. Because after they're together, Tang Siwen, we'll be sisters. It sounds fun just thinking about it, don't you think?"

"Why do you have to do this? I've never offended you, have I? I just want to live a good life with my mom..."

Tang Siwen was halfway through her sentence when her door was suddenly pushed open.

Then, Tang's mother, having heard and understood everything, rushed forward to embrace Tang Siwen, stroking her head, and said with particular bewilderment, "Siwen, why didn't you tell me you were being bullied?"

"..."

Tang Siwen didn't say anything, only lowered her head.

Her reaction caused her mother to feel a stinging pain in her heart, and she said with guilt, "I'm asking you, why didn't you tell me?"

"It would bother you."

Tang Siwen's words intensified her mother's stinging pain.

Am I that impatient of a person?

Am I that intolerant?

Looking back, she realized that she did seem to lack patience with Tang Siwen.

But she had always been a sensible child, and should understand her hardships...

"Mom."

Tang Siwen raised her head, looking at the woman who had once been gentle but had now become impatient, disheveled, and unable to stay calm, and used the move that her Sword Teacher had told her to save as a trump card, asking, "Don't you... love me?"

Hearing this, Tang's mother fell silent for a long, long time.

Looking at her daughter's genuine question and genuine confusion, tears immediately streamed down her face.

Holding her arms, she apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Mom has been neglecting you, making you afraid to say you were being bullied. I didn't know you were so afraid of that child. I won't marry him. If she's that kind of little brat, I won't marry him. Mom only needs you..."

Tang's mother had actually known for a long time that she had been unfair to Tang Siwen.

She had known for a long time that she lacked patience with her child.

She had known for a long time that her daughter didn't approve of this marriage.

But just like the saying, 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease,' because Tang Siwen had always been well-behaved, never causing trouble, and never seeming sad or hurt, she had so righteously made others accommodate her emotions, and pay for her failed marriage and life.

However, knowing that she was actually hurt and in pain, and even unwilling to confide in her because of her own selfishness, guilt surged like a tide.

After all, she was a piece of flesh that had fallen from her own body.

After all, she was her mother.

Daughter, I'm sorry.

Tang Siwen had only intended to use the method taught by her Sword Teacher to make her mother feel guilty and stop her from getting married, but when she was embraced, she didn't know why, but tears streamed down her face, one after another.

Embracing her mother, she also felt wronged and wanted to confide in her. And turning into words, it became a request: "Mom, can you love me a little more?"

"Mom loves you, I'm sorry, Mom will definitely love you."

And so, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time.

After their emotions had stabilized, her mother asked curiously, "Who is this Chen Yuan?"

Tang Siwen, when asked, was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head.

"Your boyfriend?" her mother asked.

Tang Siwen shook her head.

"You like him?"

At this moment, Tang Siwen hesitated briefly, then chose to nod lightly, and whispered, "He's... a good person."

"Mm." Her mother smiled and stroked Tang Siwen's head, saying, "Tell Mom more about these things. Mom... has patience now."

………

What the hell?

Hu Xinyuan was dumbfounded. When she heard someone else's voice, she suddenly felt a sense of terror, as if everything she was doing was being watched.

No, Tang Siwen, you idiot, couldn't you be more careful when you're on the phone?

It's over.

Her mom won't tell my dad...

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open.

Then, a man with a face ashen.

He looked at her, filled with disappointment.

Ah? He was eavesdropping too...

"Dad..."

"I'm not your dad, I'm your biological father."

After snapping at her, Hu's dad looked at his daughter, who was rotten to the core, with both love and hate.

And the most hateful thing was that this love was due to responsibility.

But now, he was starting to feel disgusted.

"It's not what you think, Dad, I was writing that online, I wasn't really..."

Hu Xinyuan wanted to argue, but coupled with her unveiled true colors, anything she said now would sound like a lie.

"Slandering classmates, spreading rumors about teachers, insulting parents, bullying people, and putting on a hypocritical display of grievance. Having a daughter like you only makes me feel ashamed!" Hu's dad said the harshest words directly.

Hearing these words, Hu Xinyuan immediately broke down and shouted loudly, "If you and Mom hadn't gotten divorced, I wouldn't have become like this..."

"I knew you'd come up with that excuse."

Interrupting her daughter's instinctive blame-shifting, Hu's dad said mercilessly, "You still like your mom, right? Then you can go live with your mom. I can't teach you."

"No, Dad, I..."

"Bang!" With a slam, the door was shut, and her dad left directly, without showing any leniency.

And Hu Xinyuan, in anger, threw herself on the bed, pounding it hard, grinding her teeth.

She also felt wronged.

Because she wasn't like this before.

It was really her parents' divorce that led her to start writing online stories to gain recognition.

Because she felt that only in this way could she get attention.

Even if that attention came from a bunch of simps.

So, how could it be her fault?

He's actually making me live with my mom...

No!

Her mom is in her new home with her new son, and her house is so poor, there isn't even a room for me. I don't want to go...

"Ugh!"

She clenched her fist and slammed the bed again.

At this moment, she thought of someone.

Friendship and family had been destroyed.

The social death had left her disillusioned with all social interactions.

Now, only love remained.

Although she hated Tang Siwen for looking down on that cowardly idiot who didn't know how to show her weakness, she did like Tang Siwen's crush.

Even though she was only a middle school student, she had found through these past two days of communication that this older brother was very easy to talk to.

If it was him, he would understand her feelings, right?

If it was him, he would understand how much damage parents' divorce could do to a person, right?

So, she sent Chen Yuan a message.

Hu Xinyuan: Brother, are you there?

Then, the red exclamation point made her face gradually turn pale...

………

Everything should be within his plans.

Chen Yuan had once considered threatening her with doxxing to stop her from exposing things.

But later he realized that this kind of fake and disgusting girl wouldn't do unless he severely punished her.

Besides, she was still badmouthing classmates online, spreading rumors about teachers, and distorting right and wrong.

Most importantly, Bao Bao Daren was already so dumb, yet she still bullied her.

How despicable.

It was really a little despicable.

So, he came up with this Wuhun combination technique.

Of course, the most important thing was Tang Siwen's acting skills.

He just didn't know how Xiao Cha had trained her.

But for Chen Yuan, Xiao Cha was already the most skilled master of 'tea' (green tea bitch) and acting cute that he knew.

Tang Siwen was also a top student, so she should be able to master that skill, right?

He could only say, trust Teacher Cha, trust Tang Shen (God).

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking this, Tang Siwen sent him a message.

Tang Siwen: My mom isn't getting married, and she's made up with me too.

Seeing this sentence, Chen Yuan felt a sense of elation in his heart.

It could be said that 'light boats have already passed ten thousand mountains.'

Although it was unlikely that Tang Siwen's parents would remarry, it would still be good if they could both love her, just like Tang Siwen said, "made up."

At least he didn't have to worry about this child anymore.

Supporting his face with his hand, imagining the scene of Tang Siwen hiding behind a pillar, waiting for him to appear, and then giving him a bun, a faint smile gradually appeared on his lips.

Such a dense person, yet she could clearly understand her feelings and like him.

That meant he was also a good person, right?

Involuntarily, Chen Yuan also felt a sense of vanity.

However, the feelings he had for this touching and adorable girl were not the kind of youthful infatuation, but a feeling of 'wanting to protect her.'

He always felt that he wanted to protect her smile.

Wanted to watch her grow up healthy.

Wanted to watch her always be adorable.

Also, he couldn't bear to see her being bullied by anyone.

Wait.

Wasn't this the feeling of raising a daughter?

No wonder he found the image of her giving him a bun so touching.

If your daughter held a bun, stood on tiptoe, and put it into your mouth in a soft, glutinous voice, wouldn't you want to pick her up and hold her high?

Good news: Zhou Yu, you have a younger sister!

Bad news: This would amplify Zhou Fu by a super level.

No, why am I even defaulting to her 'mom' attribute too...

I'm at most her milk powder!

In short, Bao Bao, you have to be happy every day.

Just as this matter was coming to an end, the landlord suddenly sent a message:

Little Chen, the two-bedroom apartment with a bathtub that I told you about before, the tenant has moved out. Do you want to come take a look today?

"..." Seeing this message, the scene of Xia Xinyu lying in the bathtub taking a bubble bath suddenly appeared in his mind.

Although Chen Yuan didn't have an older cousin, he was also a little micro-blogged.

Wasn't it supposed to be before the New Year?

This was a month and a half earlier, right?

Did that mean they could move in now?

At this moment, the landlord sent another message:

Aren't you supposed to move out on the 24th? If you move over now, this month will still be charged at the previous rent. After the 24th, the rent will be calculated from then.

Landlady, I freaking love you!

Chen Yuan: Thank you, I'll discuss it with her

Landlady: Don't discuss it, it's very popular, if you don't come, it will be rented out soon

The landlady still remembered that he had helped her identify a water-damaged car, saving her a lot of money, so she was telling him this.

Therefore, Chen Yuan made the decision without consulting her first.

Chen Yuan: Okay, I'll move over this Saturday

After this was settled, Chen Yuan took Xinyu's keys and went next door, opening the door.

At this moment, the sound of rushing water was coming from the bathroom.

Hearing the door open, Xia Xinyu, who was taking a shower, called out, "Is that Chen Yuan?"

"Babe, it's me," Chen Yuan replied.

"Then sit on the bed for a while, I'm taking a shower," Xia Xinyu said.

And so, Chen Yuan waited for a while, and Xia Xinyu, having changed her clothes, walked out with her hair still wet.

"Sit on the chair," Chen Yuan said.

Xia Xinyu didn't quite understand, but she sat down.

Then, Chen Yuan picked up a hair dryer and began to dry Xia Xinyu's hair.

Warm air was evenly applied to her head, and he kept tidying her hair with his hands. Xia Xinyu was amused by Chen Yuan's service and couldn't help but say, "My boyfriend is so great, he even dries my hair for me."

"I am great indeed."

Chen Yuan even wanted to bathe Xia Xinyu, to prove his care for his girlfriend.

But she obviously wouldn't agree.

After drying Xia Xinyu's hair, Chen Yuan also said, "Change your clothes, let's go out for a walk."

"Aren't we going to study?" Xia Xinyu asked in confusion.

"Let's take a walk first."

"Okay, then wait for me."

"Okay." Chen Yuan sat on the stool, watching Xia Xinyu prepare to change her clothes.

Then, she was lifted up from her seat and pushed out of the room, and the door was closed.

Yu Zi is really stingy.

About ten minutes later, the two people and one dog were downstairs, and then they set off.

"Are we going to the park?" Xia Xinyu asked in confusion.

"Just come with me, we're going to a place that's very close."

"Okay."

Xia Xinyu didn't ask any more questions. About five minutes later, the two arrived at an old residential area.

Then, they went inside.

And prepared to go up in front of a certain unit building.

"Eh? This is?" Xia Xinyu was even more confused, why were they going to someone else's house, especially with a dog.

Chen Yuan didn't explain.

It wasn't until they met the landlady on the third floor that she suddenly understood.

Eh?

"Now?" Xia Xinyu covered her mouth and asked Chen Yuan in a low voice.

"Is that a problem?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Isn't this a bit too early..." Xia Xinyu didn't know what to say, so after a moment of hesitation, she gave up and said, "I'll leave it up to you."

And so, under the landlady's lead, the two people and one dog went to this two-bedroom apartment.

The actual area here should only be about fifty square meters.

However, though the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs.

And what excited Xia Xinyu was that there was a kitchen!

This way, she could make more delicious food here~

Seeing that this little girl liked it so much, the landlady smiled and said, "Come, let's take a look at the master bedroom."

And so, the three people and one dog went to the bedroom.

Although it wasn't new or luxurious, it was very cozy.

Even Yu Zi was happily jumping around because the space for spinning had increased.

Xia Xinyu was also very satisfied. She walked to the bedside table and casually opened it, and then saw a bag of gloves for eating roast duck inside...

That's not right.

Xia Xinyu's cheeks flushed red, and she quickly slammed the drawer shut, then turned around and looked at the two people who were standing there, as if guarding something, blocking the bedside table...
