I heard you are a junior

The scented tea shop that Xu Rongyuan's mother mentioned was in the community where Liu Jinya lived, and it was opened by a friend surnamed Sheng.Liu Jinya agreed readily when she called, and when she came back to her senses, thinking of Aunt Sheng's face, she felt uncomfortable again.

This Aunt Sheng has a proud posture, and when she knows that she and Xu Rongyuan are not in the right family, she often shows her face, and her words are often ridiculed, full of contempt. When she heard that she was blocked by loan sharks at the door to collect debts, she must have run to her immediately. Xu Rongyuan's mother made sarcastic remarks in front of her. Congratulations to Xu Rongyuan's mother for getting rid of her poor daughter-in-law who is not good-looking and has no children.

Because of this acrimonious Aunt Sheng, Liu Jinya ignored her mother for a long time the night before, and got up early in the morning to put on makeup, hoping to appear beautifully in front of Aunt Sheng.

Zhong Yuxiao noticed the burning fighting spirit on her body, and asked, "What's wrong with you."

"I want to dress up better." Liu Jinya saw that Zhong Yuxiao had asked, and told all about Aunt Sheng.

Zhong Yuxiao immediately stopped helping her choose clothes, "Why should you care about her?"

"...I still care a little bit." Liu Jinya curled her lips, "She is different from her classmates who haven't seen her for a few years. She lives in the same community. She couldn't find my fault before. Well water doesn't make trouble with river water. After the usury debt collection, she must be I will spread it everywhere, what will the people in the community think of me?"

Zhong Yuxiao asked back, "How many people do you know in the community?"

"I..." Liu Jinya pursed her lips, "I know this aunt."

"That's fine."

"It doesn't matter to me, what if my mother wants to live there?" Liu Jinya said the most worrying thing, "My mother is getting old and will retire sooner or later. My daughter was rejected..."

Zhong Yuxiao corrected, "It's not because of you, but because of your father."

"What's the difference? Everyone has seen punks blocking the door." Liu Jinya was frustrated.

"Now that I've seen it, it's useless for you to curry favor with that aunt," Zhong Yuxiao chuckled, "Do you still expect her to be moved by you and run around to dispel rumors for you?"

Liu Jinya woke up for this reason, bit her lip, "Then what should I do?"

"Either change the house, or pretend that you can't hear. Finding companions doesn't have to be in the community. There is a park near your home, and you can meet more people there."

"Hmm..." Liu Jinya answered thoughtfully, and looked into the mirror to see the red blood in her eyes and her haggard look that couldn't be hidden no matter how much she put on makeup. Beautiful and exquisite, she made a painful decision, "No, I still have to dress up well, otherwise it would be embarrassing to stand next to you..."

The latter words were much quieter, but Zhong Yuxiao still heard it, and turned her head to look at it all at once.

Liu Jinya turned her eyes away, pretending to be looking for something, even when she heard Zhong Yuxiao's approaching footsteps, she tried to remain calm.

Zhong Yuxiao didn't do anything else, put her shoulders on her shoulders, bent down and lowered her head and asked, "You despise me."

Affirmative.

"No way." Liu Jinya quickly comforted her, "You are beautiful, and my face is also smeared..."

In the middle of her speech, she found a faint smile on the corner of Zhong Yuxiao's lips, and she felt that she had been fooled, and angrily wanted to slap Zhong Yuxiao's hand on her shoulder away.

Zhong Yuxiao grasped it lightly, and kissed her palm.

Her body trembled because of the slightly itchy touch, Liu Jinya wanted to stop her hand but was held even tighter, and seeing Zhong Yuxiao's seductive appearance with a smile that was not a smile, she felt so happy that the person she liked so much put herself on top of her heart, Don't worry about other disturbances.

"Okay." Liu Jinya compromised, "Let's go quickly, pay back the money, and don't have anything to do with them again."

"Ah."

Liu Jinya took some clothes and changed into them casually, and when she saw Zhong Yuxiao took a slightly larger handbag, she knew that the money was ready.She couldn't help staring at it, stood close to her, and even held her breath when she took the elevator down to the parking lot, for fear that someone would come and snatch it.

A neighbor happened to be going out, so he took the elevator and took another look at Zhong Yuxiao.

Liu Jinya immediately blocked it with her body, staring vigilantly.

The neighbor looked away for no reason, took out the pocket from the bag, put it on, and moved away silently. When the elevator reached the first floor, he ran out immediately, for fear that Liu Jinya would do something else.

"Don't be afraid." Zhong Yuxiao patted her on the back.

Feeling Zhong Yuxiao's thoughtfulness, Liu Jinya smiled back.

Zhong Yuxiao didn't smile, and gave the most effective comforting sentence very seriously, "I still have it if I lose it, so don't go around me."

"..."

Liu Jinya coughed lightly, and also realized that she was too nervous. She walked honestly, and showed her true colors when she got in the car. She couldn't understand Zhong Yuxiao's casual way of throwing her bag back. She took it and put it in her arms, and asked carefully, "Really?" Is it eighty-eight thousand?"

"more than."

"That……"

"Eighty-eight thousand is packed separately." Zhong Yuxiao said, "There is another [-]. If it is not enough, there is still in the trunk."

Liu Jinya turned her head abruptly, and finally understood what it meant to be invincible, so she stopped trying to hold her hand, and honestly put the heavy bag on the back seat, urging, "Let's go quickly, pay back the money early, and feel at ease."

Zhong Yuxiao said yes.

The distance was not far, they left the door early, and arrived at the tea shop they had agreed upon at 8:50.

As soon as Liu Jinya entered the door, she saw Aunt Sheng who she didn't like, so she instinctively slowed down and walked behind Zhong Yuxiao.

Aunt Sheng saw a guest coming up, "Welcome... huh? This guest looks familiar..."

Now that she was discovered, Liu Jinya didn't hide anymore, she stood up straight and said, "Hello, Aunt Sheng."

"Oh, you are Rong Yuan's wife..." Aunt Sheng smirked and said, "Oh no, it's an ex-wife, what a pity..."

Liu Jinya saw Aunt Sheng saying "it's a pity" with the same expression as when she and Xu Rongyuan got married. She felt disgusted and went back with her previous resentment, "Your way of welcoming guests here is really unique."

Aunt Sheng was used to the way Liu Jinya followed Xu Rongyuan, and when she saw her standing shyly beside Zhong Yuxiao, she thought she was that petty little daughter-in-law who couldn't stand on the stage, but she couldn't react when she was said so, her smile froze, "Oh , are acquaintances, of course, speak casually. You two, please follow me."

The pronunciation of the word please is very strong, Liu Jinya heard the reluctance in the words, walked over to sit down, and deliberately looked at the empty teacup.

Aunt Sheng understood, but instead of filling the teapot for her herself, she called the waiter who was waiting, and sat down on the chair at the table next to her to talk to her, "Auntie is forgetful, I forgot your name for a while... what is your name?" with?"

Liu Jinya didn't speak, Zhong Yuxiao was dissatisfied and interjected, "Do I need to report my name when I come here to drink tea?"

"No need." Aunt Sheng curled her lips, "Ask casually, don't be so excited."

Zhong Yuxiao snorted softly, imitating Aunt Sheng's tone and said, "What did you ask casually?"

Aunt Sheng bullied the weak and was afraid of the strong, and was upset by Zhong Yuxiao's choking. She asked the waiter to serve each of them a menu, and went back to the front desk to play with her mobile phone.

Liu Jinya had already had breakfast, and she didn't really want to take care of Aunt Sheng's business, so she ordered the three flower tea and two dishes of dim sum that Xu Rongyuan's mother liked according to her vague impression, and waited quietly for someone to come.

At nine o'clock, Xu Rongyuan's mother arrived on time and surprised Aunt Sheng when she appeared.The two friends who hadn't seen each other for many days got together to exchange some pleasantries, and kept glancing at Liu Jinya.Aunt Sheng watched her smile deepen, and whispered a few words, making Xu Rongyuan's mother keep shaking her head.

Being far away, Liu Jinya couldn't see or hear clearly, thinking that Aunt Sheng was saying something uncomfortable again, fidgeting, kept checking the time on the phone, and wanted to leave in a hurry.

"Excuse me, have you been waiting long?" Xu Rongyuan's mother came over and talked to them in a pleasant manner.

Liu Jinya forced a smile, "No, we just arrived too. This is my friend, this is..."

When introducing Xu Rongyuan's mother, Liu Jinya didn't know what to say, so she paused.

Xu Rongyuan's mother didn't mind, and said hello to Zhong Yuxiao, "My surname is Xiao, you can call me Aunt Xiao."

Zhong Yuxiao greeted him politely, and picked up the teapot at hand to pour a cup.

When the tea came, Xu Rongyuan's mother took a sip to moisten her throat. She accidentally caught a glimpse of the bag in Zhong Yuxiao's hand and guessed it all at once, "You guys brought money here."

"Well, how much is it?" Liu Jinya asked anxiously, afraid that she would not bring enough.

Xu Rongyuan's mother looked at her and tried hard to persuade, "I said no need to pay it back, Jin Ya, why do you have to figure it out so clearly with me."

Seeing Xu Rongyuan's mother frowning and pleading, Liu Jinya almost softened her heart. Zhong Yuxiao pinched her hand under the table before she regained her composure and said, "The situation is different now, of course we have to figure it out."

"How do you figure it out? You broke your waist to take care of me, and you can't pay it back with any money." Xu Rongyuan's mother said sadly, "Could it be that I'm self-indulgent, have you never treated me as a family?"

Of course, she gave her sincerity. Liu Jinya felt uncomfortable because of the current embarrassment, and didn't know how to answer for a while.Xu Rongyuan's mother lowered her head and sighed, her old look could not be concealed by cosmetics and elegant dress.

The two of them were silent, but Zhong Yuxiao didn't feel bitter and sad. He took out the repayment and enough money to pay the bill from his bag and put it on the table, and said bluntly, "Auntie, the money is here. Jinya and I I still have something to drink tea with you, so I have to go first."

Before Liu Jinya recovered, she was pulled up by Zhong Yuxiao, and she had time to say hurriedly, "Thank you for your help, goodbye."

Xu Rongyuan's mother saw that Zhong Yuxiao was so decisive, so she understood that there was no need to say more, and took out Dad's IOU from her bag and handed it over.

Liu Jinya took it with both hands, and was relieved to see that it was the confirmation stamp of the borrower's receipt of [-].

"Jin Ya," Xu Rongyuan's mother looked at her and called out, with a smile on her face, but there was a faint glimmer of water in her eyes, and her voice trembled, "Goodbye."

Liu Jinya kept the IOU, but seeing Xu Rongyuan's mother like this, she couldn't say goodbye.

She really didn't want to have anything to do with the Xu family anymore.

After holding back for a long time, she just nodded her head and followed Zhong Yuxiao to the door of the Flower Tea House, thinking that it would be a relief to everyone if she didn't see each other again today.

Unexpectedly, she didn't step out of the door that symbolized parting, and suddenly heard the cynicism from Aunt Sheng.

"I thought I was quite capable." Aunt Sheng sneered, "Didn't you just find another person to help pay back the money? If you don't want to owe your ex-mother-in-law, you're ashamed to owe it to your friends. Young people nowadays are really incomprehensible .”

Liu Jinya paused.

Aunt Sheng's words were harsh, but what she said was the truth.

Since her mother was injured and hospitalized, she has been worrying about the money issue. The so-called turning point is that she found a wealthy aunt, who owed her money with peace of mind. Knowing that her father's debt was paid off by Xu Rongyuan's mother, she only thought about how to get the money back. She never thought about how long it would take [-] for her, and she naturally accepted it after Zhong Yuxiao withdrew the money.

In the end, she still owed money, but changed creditors one after another.

Seeing Aunt Sheng mocking, Zhong Yuxiao frowned and stared at her. Aunt Sheng saw Liu Jinya's pale complexion, and apologized nonchalantly, "I'm sorry, I was outspoken, and I accidentally said a few more words. Go slowly, welcome!" next visit."

Seeing Aunt Sheng's smug smile, Liu Jinya didn't have the confidence to dismiss it.

"Let's go." Zhong Yuxiao turned around, put her arms around her, half supported her, half pushed her and walked out.

Until getting into the car, Liu Jinya remained silent, staring ahead with empty eyes.

Zhong Yuxiao didn't persuade her immediately, leaving time for her to think quietly.

When passing by the company, Liu Jinya finally regained her senses, took out her mobile phone and pressed the calculator - [-] plus the previous [-], a total of [-]. Her daily expenses are deducted from her salary to pay off her needs...

She clicked the equal sign and saw a stressful number.

Liu Jinya was distressed.

At that time, what happened to her relationship with Zhong Yuxiao?Will it still be as good as it is now?

Liu Jinya felt uneasy, thinking about how to compensate Zhong Yuxiao for the long time it took to pay back the money.When she thought about it, she remembered a time many years ago when relatives and friends were willing to lend money to her family. When her father accepted it, she smiled and cursed behind her back because she thought it was too little money. It's kindness to lend you money!"

interest...

Liu Jinya glanced at Zhong Yuxiao secretly, thinking about how to calculate.

"What's wrong." Zhong Yuxiao noticed her gaze.

Liu Jinya instinctively flipped the phone over to cover it, preventing Zhong Yuxiao from seeing the numbers on it, and shook her head guilty, "No... nothing..."

"You have seen me many times along the way." Zhong Yuxiao didn't believe her words, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Liu Jinya always felt that calculating the interest was too much, and saying it would make Zhong Yuxiao unhappy, so she laughed dryly and said a word of praise, "I really didn't want to say it, you look good, I can't help but watch it a few more times."

Unexpectedly, she would say that, Zhong Yuxiao froze for a moment, blinked her eyes unnaturally for a few times, then retracted her eyes and stared straight ahead, pretending to be serious about driving.

Liu Jinya realized that she had said something crooked, and she was not very embarrassed, so she pursed her lips and looked at Zhong Yuxiao's ears more.

There is no red, and the earrings on the top are simple and small, shining with delicate light, very beautiful.

Looking at it, Liu Jinya suddenly thought of a pair of earrings that he fancy not long ago, fluffy and plush, with a long tassel design, matched with Zhong Yuxiao's delicate ears and pretty face, it must be cute and beautiful.

She suddenly figured it out: interest is not easy to calculate, so she can buy more gifts for Zhong Yuxiao in normal times.

Liu Jinya started to think about what to buy, Zhong Yuxiao slowed down and stopped at a red light, recovered from the shyness of being praised, turned her head and asked seriously, "What are you thinking about?"

Not wanting to directly ask Zhong Yuxiao what gift she wanted, Liu Jinya smiled and said nothing, looking at the people coming and going in front of her with emotion: "During holidays, there are so many people on the street."

"Yeah." Zhong Yuxiao glanced at the time, "It's not 10 o'clock, shall we go to the hospital first?"

Looking at the people laughing and laughing on the sidewalk, Liu Jinya felt sorry for Zhong Yuxiao, but she ran to the hospital with her every day despite the holiday.Because she wanted to pay back the money to Xu Rongyuan's mother, she told her mother in advance that she had something to do today, and she got her understanding. Don't go today."

Zhong Yu was surprised, "You don't want to see Auntie?"

"No, my mother is doing rehabilitation recently, and I can't see anyone when I go to the hospital." Liu Jinya discussed calmly, "Half of the Spring Festival holiday has passed, and we always stay in the hospital. Don't you feel reconciled?"

"No." Zhong Yuxiao answered very straightforwardly.

Liu Jinya was unable to support her forehead, "Forget it, I'm not reconciled."

"Where do you want to go?"

Liu Jinya thought about it seriously, and what she cared about was not where she wanted to go, but where she could pay before Zhong Yuxiao.She looked around and suddenly saw the huge amusement park advertisement on the bus next to her. She was amused, "Let's go to the playground."

There are many people in the amusement park, and Zhong Yuxiao doesn't like to squeeze in. If she is in charge of buying tickets, can she pay for it?

Liu Jinya's eyes lit up when she thought about it, and she actively checked the nearby amusement park, "There is a fun park nearby, let's go here! I will buy an electronic ticket now."

Zhong Yuxiao was easy to talk, and didn't see her intention to rush to pay, so she used the navigation to find the location.

The car drove all the way to Happy Paradise.

Before reaching the door, Liu Jinya heard the noise of people, and after a closer look, she even saw the tourists picked up by the bus, and it took a long time to stop.After getting out of the car, she looked at the piles of people at the gate and was a little worried: Would Zhong Yuxiao feel upset with so many people?

She glanced carefully at the person beside her.

Zhong Yuxiao remained expressionless, followed the crowd at a consistent pace, and moved unhurriedly towards the entrance of the Happy Paradise, as if he had no interest in everything around him.

Not without interest.

Liu Jinya stared at it for a long time, and found that Zhong Yuxiao was staring at the rabbit balloon held by the child next to him, his eyes were shining brightly.

Is it a baby after all...

Liu Jinya sighed, and took a second look when passing the balloon seller.

Zhong Yuxiao noticed it and said, "Do you want to buy it?"

"Yeah." Liu Jinya was afraid that Zhong Yuxiao would snatch her in front of her, so she heard the quotation at the tip of her ear, so she prepared some change before walking over, "Boss, is there a rabbit?"

The boss was greeting a few noisy children, and said perfunctorily, "Take a look, it's all in hand."

Liu Jinya looked for it seriously, Zhong Yuxiao took a look around and finished it first, "There is no rabbit."

"Then..." Liu Jinya saw a balloon with a little yellow duck, and remembered that Zhong Yuxiao brought a bath towel with this pattern when he was on a business trip in N City, and paid for the boss, "I want a little yellow duck."

Seeing that the number she gave was just right, the boss readily took the money and took the goods.

Once the fluffy balloon was in hand, Liu Jinya grabbed it tightly, walked to a place where there were few people, and immediately handed it out, "Come, I'll see you off."

Zhong Yuxiao frowned, "Give it to me?"

"Well, don't you like it?" Liu Jinya smiled and pierced, "I was staring at other children's balloons on the way here."

"It's just a casual look, it's not like I like it." Zhong Yuxiao said stubbornly.

That being said, Zhong Yuxiao unconsciously stared at the little yellow duck floating in the air.

Liu Jinya became interested and deliberately teased, "Oh, then I let go of it."

"Waste." Zhong Yuxiao immediately dissuaded her, and reached out to take it, "I'll help you."

Liu Jinya suppressed a smile, "Okay."

The balloon was bought very well. There were many tourists entering the gate, and they were scattered by the people passing by. Liu Jinya looked up to find the little yellow duck balloon and found Zhong Yuxiao who was frowning in the crowd.The moment Zhong Yuxiao saw her, she was obviously relieved. She held the balloon in another hand, and held her tightly with her fingers, euphemistically saying: "Safety."

"Well, that's right." Liu Jinya followed Zhong Yuxiao's words and took out her mobile phone from her pocket to scan the ticket QR code.

Holding the person in one hand and holding the bag in the other, her movements were a bit labored. After a while, she heard the voice of a mother behind her softly telling the child: "Hold mother's hand, don't run around."

Holding Zhong Yuxiao by the hand, Liu Jinya felt quite involved and couldn't help laughing.

Zhong Yuxiao blinked at her and smiled, confused.

"Let's go." Liu Jinya scanned the QR code and led Zhong Yuxiao in.

The playground has a large area, and there is a fork in the road as soon as they enter the door. They have never been there before, and they don't know where to go. They walked to the bulletin board tacitly to look at the map.The map is a very detailed color map with clear divisions and a lot of entertainment facilities marked with names that are more exciting than each other.

Liu Jinya didn't play much, so she asked Zhong Yuxiao, "What do you want to play?"

"Anything is fine." She didn't have an idea, and Zhong Yuxiao was not interested. After scanning it, she concentrated on untying the balloon wrapped around her fingertips.

Seeing that Zhong Yuxiao was struggling with one hand, Liu Jinya decided where to play in a hurry, so she moved closer to help.

For the convenience of handling, Zhong Yuxiao made the rope of the balloon twist and turn into a tight knot. Liu Jinya couldn't untie it for a while, and it was not easy to block others from seeing the schematic diagram. She pulled Zhong Yuxiao aside and muttered softly, "Untie it." Open it and tie it directly to the bag.”

"En." Zhong Yuxiao responded, and the very close voice trembled slightly in her ears.

Liu Jinya felt provocative, so she couldn't help but take a second look, "Why did you suddenly lower your voice?"

Zhong Yuxiao didn't seem to notice her awkwardness, and talking about other things, "Let's go to the haunted house."

"Ah?" Liu Jinya almost released the balloon with a trembling hand, "Are you sure?"

Zhong Yuxiao raised her eyebrows, "Are you afraid?"

"Of course not, the staff are all human beings." Liu Jinya quickly expressed her opinion, thinking that the balloon was in trouble again, "What about the balloon?"

"Maybe there's a place to keep things."

Liu Jinya nodded and followed Zhong Yuxiao to the direction of the haunted house.

There are many children in other places, but the haunted house is full of adults.Seeing a girl who just came out with a pale face, Liu Jinya hesitated—would it be particularly scary inside?

She was afraid that screaming and shouting would be too embarrassing, so she pinched her bag tightly.

Zhong Yuxiao didn't notice, and asked the young lady who handed out the leaflets, "Is there a place to keep things?"

"No."

Liu Jinya breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "There is no safekeeping place, it's a pity to throw the balloon away, so let's not play with it..."

"I want to play." Zhong Yuxiao sighed with lowered eyes.

Liu Jinya couldn't bear it anymore, and the staff who sent the leaflets were even more soft-hearted, and suggested, "You tie the balloon here, and I will help you look at it."

"Thank you." Zhong Yuxiao smiled, and just put the balloon in place.

There were far fewer people in the haunted house than in other places, and they were able to get in without queuing for long.The surrounding light was getting darker and darker. Liu Jinya got goosebumps when she heard the bleak scream, and her hand holding Zhong Yuxiao became tighter.

Zhong Yuxiao was very reliable. He hugged her shoulders and put her in his arms, half-supporting and half-embracing her, leading her inside, "Don't be afraid."

Liu Jinya looked at Zhong Yuxiao calmly and only stared at her eyes, and felt something was wrong, "You don't seem to like playing haunted houses."

Zhong Yuxiao chuckled, and whispered to her in a soft voice as if coquettish.

"I just wanted to hug you."
