Soft temptation

1.

As long as Xu Xuze can remember, his mother has been very indifferent to him.

She is different from other mothers. She never reaches out to hug him, plays with him, gives him gifts, or feeds him.

I won't celebrate his birthday, pick him up from school, or attend his parent-teacher meeting at school.

She would look away when he reached out to her.

Will put down the coffee cup the moment he walks in the door, turn around and go upstairs.

When he fell down, he would call out to the nanny who was about to come and pick him up, and said in a cold voice to let him get up by himself.

He would sneer when he happily called Dad.

Yes, because my sister beat him.

2.

When I was in elementary school, someone in the class would always ask Xu Xuze if he didn't have parents.

Some people even ran up to him and said, They said you don't have parents, you are so pitiful, why don't you go home with me.

Xu Xuze stared and asked, "I have, who said I don't!"

The little boy in front of him wondered: "But they all said you didn't have one, so why didn't your parents come to pick you up..."

Xu Xuze couldn't answer this question.

He didn't know either.

He didn't know why Dad never came home.

Mom seemed to hate him very much, turning her head away as soon as she saw him.

3.

When I went home that day, my mother was not at home, and my aunt didn't know what she was busy with. She was probably taking care of her mother's flowers and plants in the backyard.

Xu Xuze sat on the sofa and cried loudly, tears streaming all over his face.

After he cried for a while, Lou Ruan came back.

Seeing him crying, she stood at the door in a daze before coming over, and hurriedly wiped his tears with paper.

"what happened?"

Xu Xuze sobbed, his nose turned red from crying, "They said...they said I have no parents! They said no parents picked me up, I don't have parents, woo!"

4.

The next day, when Xu Xuze was leaving school, Lou Ruan, who was already in fifth grade, was waiting at the door of their class and stretched out his hand towards him.

She was very white, with soft black hair tied back on her head, and clear and soft eyes embedded in her palm-sized cheeks.

It also has a slightly too sweet fragrance.

Like someone in a fairy tale.

5.

Someone came to ask Xu Xuze the next day.

Ask who was the person who went home with him yesterday.

"My sister~"

The group of people around him were taken aback.

"But the one on her name tag is different from yours."

Xu Xuze: "What's the difference?"

"It's the first surname, it's different."

"I know! You must belong to the same orphanage! The orphanage will adopt many children without parents!"

6.

Xu Xuze didn't understand when he was young, and he didn't know that most of the other siblings had the same gender, and he didn't know how different the surnames of siblings were.

But now he knows, sister is not his biological sister, so they are not the same last name.

One of them was surnamed Xu and the other was surnamed Lou.

He listened blankly to their words, and had a vague idea.

Not biological, different surnames, means they are not close people.

She is an outsider to him.

He is also to her.

7.

He dawdled in the classroom until late that day before going out.

When Lou Ruan stretched out his hand towards him, he didn't pull it up:

"I don't want to go home with you!"

shouted loudly.

In his memory, it was Lou Ruan who looked down at his hand in mid-air in a daze.

8.

Xu Junyan rarely goes home.

His face, his image, has always been vague in Xu Xuze's memory.

Until one day, a silver luxury car parked in front of the school.

The window rolled down, revealing a handsome man's face.

He smiled at him, "Ah Ze, Dad is here to pick you up."

9.

Xu Xuze was carried into the house by Xu Junyan.

The moment she entered the door, the woman sitting in the living room suddenly changed her face, and the disgust in her eyes became intense.

Xu Junyan smiled and put him down, with a smile on his face, "Ran Ran, I'm back."

His fingers were still on Xu Xuze's head, "Ruan Ruan, what time does she leave school, and our family will have dinner together."

As soon as Xu Junyan finished speaking, the door behind him was gently opened, and a girl in a white school uniform with short sleeves stood at the door, spotless.

She looked at them, but before she could react, Mother Xu, who was standing inside, came over, grabbed her arm, and took her behind her. Ruan said, "You go up."

10.

Xu Xuze stood in the study upstairs, said with red eyes, "But Dad said..."

"Father?" The woman sitting in front of him suddenly interrupted, "Do you know him, have you seen him, you dare to get in the car of someone you don't know?"

Xu Xuze's eyes were red.

"Stay away from him." Zhou Ran said coldly.

"Why." Xu Xuze raised his eyes.

"He is not a good person." Zhou Ran continued.

Xu Xuze couldn't accept it. Other students in the class said that Dad was a hero.

But he still raised his eyes and asked persistently, "Then why didn't you protect me to protect Lou Ruan, why didn't you protect your own son to protect an outsider—"

As soon as Xu Xuze finished speaking, Zhou Ran slapped him.

She gasped and became stern, "What kind of outsider!? What kind of outsider do you live with, eat together and call your mother?"

11.

Xu Junyan left quietly, without even saying hello when he left.

After Xu Xuze was beaten, he didn't like everyone every day, but he didn't dare to do anything when Zhou's mother was at home. He could only close the door heavily, put the bowls heavily, and ran upstairs with things when she was not there. .

When Xu's mother was not at home, his screams were everywhere in the house.

It was the same when he went out in the morning. Before Lou Ruan could go out, he rushed out from behind, "Go away!"

12.

Xu Xuze disliked the whole family, but no one in the family paid him any attention, especially when Xu's mother was at home, the house was quiet and no one dared to make a sound.

He deliberately didn't talk to them, but no one took the initiative to talk to him except Auntie.

At night, the more he thought about it, the more wronged he became, and he cried secretly while clutching the quilt.

He doesn't care if he thinks there is nothing to cry during the day!

13.

Xu Xuze found a hobby.

Watch people scrape moldy tofu.

There are moldy tofu sellers at the entrance of the vegetable market near the school.

The elder sister who sells moldy tofu will take out rows of fluffy moldy tofu, scrape off the board piece by piece, and then sprinkle white wine, pepper, salt and other seasonings...

Xu Xuze squatted there with his schoolbag on his back and watched for over an hour.

If you watch the moldy tofu for a long time, you will forget the time.

It wasn't enough for him to watch it outside, and he had to use his computer to search for videos of scraping moldy tofu when he got home.

While watching people scrape moldy tofu while doing homework.

He felt like he wasn't that miserable anymore.

No one talks in this family, it doesn't matter, he will watch people scrape moldy tofu by himself.
