Chapter 714: Gambling, don’t gamble

The relationship between Wu Xueqing and me is like the relationship between a mouse and a cat. Although I have repeatedly emphasized that I am not a cat, out of instinctive fear, she will only obediently adapt to me and never take it to her heart!

With such a woman, I even had time to talk and make polite things. I simply saved up the nonsense and explained my intentions directly. The three of them worked together to carry Murphy and Liusu to the bedroom on the second floor and throw it on a bed.

Leaving the tassel here is my temporary decision and Wu Xueqing's proposal.

It turns out that Wu Xueqing and Liusu have known each other for a long time. Because Liusu has been living here a while ago, Wu Xueqing is taking care of her and Murphy's food and clothing issues. This girl hasn't even taken home the clothes she changed. Wu Xueqing said that she had slept in the same room with Murphy in those days...

It was getting late, and Liusu slept like a dead pig. According to my experience, under my current state, this girl could no longer wake up, and it would be even more troublesome to wake her up. So if you send her home, you would inevitably send her directly to the bed, so that Chu Yuan and Shu Tong could not avoid meeting each other... So after thinking about it, I decided to call Shu Tong and let Liusu know and leave Liusu with Murphy.

Obviously, this is a wise choice...

The sultry heat gradually dissipated, and the cool breeze came. Street lights decorated the winding streets into a long dragon covered with golden scales, lazily climbing in the center of the city.

The ground under my feet still emits heat absorbed during the day, but there is no starlight at the sky above my head. In June this year, the clouds are particularly low and the rain is particularly high...

The car stayed at Murphy's house because it was originally Murphy's, and because I needed an excuse to go home later. Although it was getting late, we still had plenty of time to wait for the last bus. So, my brother and sister walked slowly on the sidewalk on the street.

Chu Yuan was still wearing the slightly fat school uniform, her hands were huddled in her sleeves, her steps were as light as a kitten, following me silently. Once the distance was slightly wider, she would hurry up to two steps, but she stubbornly refused to speak and let me walk slowly. Every time she caught up with me, she would deliberately run to me and lift her pants hard. Her pants were a little long and she walked too quickly. Her pants fell a little, and her heels would step on her pants legs. The more sloppy it looked, the more sloppy it was...

I know that the clothes didn't fit because she deliberately signed up for another number when she was signing up for the size of the clothes when she entered school. I happened to be there on the day she took the school uniform home. My stepmother scolded her in front of me and the old man. I still clearly remember that when I said that when I went to school to find a teacher to help her customize one, she was scolded by her stepmother so much that she didn't dare to retaliate. She suddenly shouted at me, "No need, because I will grow up soon!"

That childish sentence, let alone me and the old man, even my stepmother was so angry that she laughed.

Chu Yuan has been looking forward to growing up soon, and she also looks forward to my recognition, but just when I agreed that she had grown up, I found that this school uniform was still as inappropriate as before...

Is she not grown up, or... she lost weight?

I did not accommodate Chu Yuan's pace. Even though she ran to me again and again to lift her pants, she reminded me that I was not considerate enough to her.

In fact, I didn't walk fast, but she was too slow, so slow that if I went to her pace, I wouldn't be able to say anything - because that would make me feel that we were more like a couple walking leisurely on the street after dinner, rather than a brother and sister who had serious questions to communicate with...

That's right, atmosphere!

After walking close to the stop from Murphy's house, I still haven't spoken, because I haven't found an atmosphere to speak yet. Chu Yuan walked too slowly, and she didn't have the tension she deserved, and maybe she deliberately avoided the serious atmosphere, so she kept interrupting my rhythm with silent actions.

I can't continue to accommodate her, because as my brother, I can't choose to escape like her, willfully choose to escape.

I responded to her with silence, making her realize that this was not a game or a joke, it was a question worthy of our serious treatment. I ignored her and made her realize her innocence and naivety, and told her that this time, I will no longer obey her and doting her as usual...

Because the brother cannot be the object of the younger sister’s admiration!

Chu Yuan knew what I was thinking. Apart from the little monster Dongfang Xiao Niangpi, she should be the one who knows me the best in the world. After realizing my determination to face the problem, she finally gave up. After quickly rushing through a crosswalk at an intersection, she turned around and stood, looking at me expressionlessly... After leaving Murphy's house, she had never looked at my eyes. Now, I have not seen the many complexities I expected from her eyes. She calmly surprised me.

This girl, like me, has been prepared to face it long ago.

When I walked slowly to her, she did not move away or turned around and continued to walk with me, but raised her right hand and pressed it on my heart. I was stunned and heard her calm voice ask word by word: "Why don't you send Cheng Liusu home?"

She spoke with her own initiative, and I was not surprised. What was unexpected was that she asked such a question first after she spoke, but I was not surprised why she asked this question.

Flashed past her and continued to walk forward, I said, "You really want to go to her house, right?"

My reaction also surprised Chu Yuan. She turned around and caught up with me, blocking me again. This time, she pushed my chest with both hands, "Yes!"

She was weak and weak, so where could she push me? But I still stood up, looked down at the stubborn girl's face and asked, "What are you doing? Go and find what you lost?"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan's pale little face was even more bloodless. He punched me hard on the chest. He was not satisfied and raised his breath and kicked me in the calf, and said angrily: "It turns out that Shu Tong stole my things. She asked you to go to school and asked you to see my things, right?!"

With Chu Yuan's cleverness, these things could not be hidden from her. When Liusu, Sister Hu, and Murphy appeared at the school gate and asked me why I disappeared for a long time, the girl had already suspected Shu Tong's head. She asked me why I didn't send Liusu home, but was actually testing me - she knew that if Shu Tong really stole her novel, I would definitely not want them to meet now, because I know her personality too much, and she would definitely settle accounts with Shu Tong...

"You don't have to go find her to ask for the things you lost are here with me now."

The pale little face turned red in an instant, and Chu Yuan said anxiously: "Did you look at it?"

What an embarrassing and unnecessary problem...

"I didn't see, how could you walk on the street with me now?" Not only did Chu Yuan's face get hot, but I also felt the burning under my face. When the feeling becomes a reality and when the imagination is confirmed, how to face it, what kind of results will be waiting, which makes people feel helpless and scared. What's even more cruel is that you can only wait and see the unknown, but have no choice but to escape...

The powerlessness and fear of fate made my nerves tense and almost break. I was afraid to look at this girl's face because the answer there was too clear, just like she didn't dare to look at my eyes again - Chu Yuan was more afraid of the arrival of the answer than me.

Life is like gambling. Many people are like this. When they lose everything and only have one chip left on them, they will bet on the last one without hesitation in despair. Because if they lose, they will not be much worse than now. If they win, they can have everything...

This is how Chu Yuan is, so she is more aware of facing her than me. But like all gamblers, she retreated when she was about to reveal her trump card. At this time, she realized that if she didn't gamble, she could at least maintain the status quo. If she lost, what she lost was not only the only property she owned now, but also her entire future...
