"...Are you angry?" Xu Ruyi glanced at her daughter inexplicably, "Why are you angry again? Why are you pitiful... Your parents are still alive, and the whole family holds you in their hands like a little princess-"
"Yes, I am a princess." Ding Yuqing laughed, "So there are always people who want to marry me -"
"Whoever wants to marry you is just a joke from your brother——"
"And people may not be interested in it." Ding Jiali glanced at her sister disapprovingly, "Xiaoqing, I really find that your temper has been getting louder and louder recently -"
"Don't talk!"
The lock tongue clicked, and Hesta walked out of the room, just in time to bump into Ding Yuqing's angry growl.
Ding Yuqing's face turned red.
Xu Ruyi didn't look back, she just stood up and took her daughter's bowl over, lowering her voice and saying, "Stop making trouble, there are still guests at home, don't let others laugh!"
Ding Yuqing didn't say anything, she just walked quickly back to the room and slammed the door with a bang.
Following the loud noise, Hesta's expression trembled slightly.
"Morning!" Ding Jiali waved to Hesta in an exaggerated way, as if nothing had happened just now, "How did you sleep?"
"Not bad," Hesta replied.
Hesta had just sat down diagonally across from Ding Jiali, and Xu Ruyi had already placed a whole bowl of yogurt in front of Hesta's table.
Hesta thought about getting up to get the tableware again, and a spoon was placed in her hand again.
"Do you want to eat more carbohydrates? Otherwise, you're so big, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive noon," Xu Ruyi asked, "There are whole-wheat bread and cereals at home, what do you want to eat?"
"...Bread will do," Hesta still couldn't get used to Xu Ruyi's hospitality, so she couldn't help but sit more upright, "Thank you."
Xu Ruyi smiled, and soon brought a plate of sliced bread with half an avocado and a fried egg.
"Wow, Mom, you are really... so partial!" Ding Jiali glanced at Hesta's bowl, "Why is there blueberries in her yogurt! There are only kiwis in my bowl!"
"Oh, the blueberries were washed and put aside, but I forgot when I served them to you... Do you still want to eat them? I'll get them if you want."
"Forget it, no need, I'm full of jealousy this morning!" Ding Jiali smiled and pulled out his chair, "I'm almost out."
Ding Jiali ran to the entrance to change her shoes, and then shouted towards Ding Yuqing's room, "I'm leaving, does anyone want a ride with me?"
There was only silence in the room.
Ding Jiali was not annoyed either. He hummed a tune and took off the car keys hanging on the wall and left quickly.
Hesta was the only one left in the whole living room again.
She lowered her head to eat and heard the sound of water coming from the kitchen. In the room upstairs, Shi Yimiao was crying.
…
Before going out, Hesta went back to the room to get her coat. As soon as she entered the door, she heard footsteps behind her and chased her out the door.
The door was quietly pushed open a crack, and Shi Yimiao stood at the door holding her toy gun. She looked up and looked directly into Hesta's eyes, looking proud.
Hesta withdrew her gaze and began to count the stationery and books in her schoolbag.
Shi Yimiao knocked on Hesta's door with a plastic gun, "Hey!"
Hesta didn't even look up.
Shi Yimiao strode towards Hesta and pressed the gun on Hesta's schoolbag strap very arrogantly.
Hesta glanced at her, "...What are you doing?"
Shi Yimiao raised her head higher, "To be honest, I think you are a pretty good person."
"……uh-huh?"
"Be my little brother," the little girl held a gun in one hand and put her hand on her hip, "I'll give you a chance to be my little brother -"
Hesta put her schoolbag on and was about to walk out. Shi Yimiao, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the strap of her bag and hung her whole body on Hesta's body.
"Why!! Think about it again!!" Shi Yimiao shouted, his voice as sharp as Eleven's, "You can give me conditions -"
Before the child finished speaking, she suddenly felt that the world was upside down. The next second, she fell onto the soft bed that had been made by Hesta. Before she realized what had just happened, she felt something hit her. Covered his head.
When he took a closer look - the toy gun he was holding in his hand had been snatched away by Hesta at some point.
Hesta stood by the bed with an expressionless face. The bright window behind her made her entire face look even darker and more terrifying.
This scene shocked Shi Yimiao. She slowly raised her hands. Just when she was about to say something, Hesta hit her in the head with a gun.
"Call sister," Hesta said.
Shi Yimiao was stunned for a moment, "...sister."
"Say, 'Hello, sister'."
"...Hello, sister."
Hesta threw the gun back to Shi Yimiao's hand and pointed at the door, "Next time you come in, knock first, okay?"
"oh……"
"go out."
Shi Yimiao climbed out of bed in a daze and slowly moved out. When she was almost at the door, she suddenly turned around and said, "Or this way, I can call you 'sister', but you have to call me 'brother' - —”
Hesta raised her head and suddenly rushed towards her quickly. Shi Yimiao was startled, screamed and ran towards the living room.
At ten past eight, Hesta went out with her backpack.
In the living room, Shi Yimiao's family was having breakfast. Shi Pingchuan glanced in the direction of Hesta, and Ding Xueyang raised his hand to say hello. Hesta walked quickly, leaving a vague "Good morning" and walked out of the entrance. .
She flew down the empty stairwell, landing on her toes. Each step spanned four or five steps, and she stepped firmly on the center of the steps.
When he pushed open the stair door, the elevator on the first floor opened and Ding Yuqing walked out.
Neither of them expected to meet here, and they were both hesitant for a moment.
"Morning." Hesta greeted him proactively.
"……morning."
Along the way, Hesta looked at Ding Yuqing from the corner of her eye, always feeling that she was about to say something next moment, but the two of them walked side by side, but remained silent.
After exiting the small door of the family area, Ding Yuqing stood still. She pointed in the opposite direction to Hesta, "...I'm going that way."
"...Are you already late?"
"It doesn't matter, the teacher won't hold me accountable."
"Oh," Hesta nodded, "Then go quickly."
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
The two parted, and Hesta stood there watching Ding Yuqing walk away. She walked at a steady pace as before, then suddenly sprinted forward in long strides.
After about twenty meters, she stopped a little dejectedly and continued walking slowly.
Before turning the corner, Ding Yuqing suddenly turned around and glanced behind her - Hesta was still standing there, waving to her.
Ding Yuqing was a little surprised. She nodded to Hesta from a distance and started running again.
