The wind on the autumn night brought a chill, but it could not blow away the boy's dream.
After taking a taxi and spending sixteen yuan, Cao Panxing finally returned to his home.
The moment she closed the car door, she stood there, looking at the taillights of the car that slowly disappeared from sight, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
It turns out that it feels like taking a taxi home...
It’s so pleasant!
She thought about it carefully.
From the time she entered the martial arts academy until now, even though she received a large monthly allowance, she never seemed to take a taxi home.
Turn around, walk through the dark alley, and then the dark corridor entrance. In this old building, the lights in the corridor have been broken for who knows how many years. Occasionally, someone will come to repair it, but it will not be long before it breaks down again.
When she was in high school, Cao Panxing was very timid. Every time she passed through a dark corridor, she had to use a flashlight. Later, when she became a super person, she seemed not to be so afraid of the dark.
She climbed up to the fifth floor in one breath, took out her key and opened the door. As soon as she turned on the light, the bedroom door opened.
The middle-aged woman wearing a coat had disheveled hair. She looked directly at Cao Panxing and frowned.
"Why are you coming back now? What time is it!" He said, pointing to the clock hanging on the wall.
It's half past twelve in the evening.
After eating, she went to sing again, but it was indeed a little late. In order to have a pleasant night, she had turned off her mobile phone while eating.
"Well... it's a bit late." Cao Panxing put his backpack on the coffee table with a smile on his face, "I graduated today. My classmates are very happy, so I went to have dinner with them."
"Graduation... graduation?!" The middle-aged woman suddenly widened her eyes, stared at her daughter, and said in a high voice, "Who asked you to graduate? Who asked you to graduate now? Why didn't you follow us in advance? Say?"
His voice was loud, and a middle-aged man came out of the master bedroom.
Then, the door of another bedroom was also opened, and a young man walked out. He lowered his head when he walked out, and the music of the game came from his mobile phone.
"Cao Pandi, have you graduated from the Martial Arts Academy?!" The young man asked, "Then the Martial Arts Academy won't give you money in the future?"
"Yeah." Cao Panxing had a smile on his face.
She looked at her parents and younger brother with firm eyes.
The young man finally put down his cell phone, probably because he had lost the game. At this time, he became increasingly annoyed.
"Cao Pandi, what are you going to do? I'm still waiting to change my phone. Look at my broken phone. It's been used for more than a year! I have put all the new phones in the shopping cart. At this time, you After graduation, can I still get money from home? Can I still get a new mobile phone?"
Listening to the young man's confident words, Cao Panxing felt no fluctuation in his heart and even wanted to laugh.
"Your mobile phone is more than a year old, but mine is four years old." Cao Pandi took out her mobile phone and waved it in front of the other party's eyes.
The young man sneered.
"What do you, a girl, want to do with such a good mobile phone? I'm different. I'm a man. Wouldn't it be very shameful for me to go out with a broken mobile phone?"
When Cao Panxing heard these words, his face was expressionless. Maybe she has gotten used to it over the years.
The young man became angrier as he spoke and turned to look at the middle-aged woman.
"Mom! What should I do with my new phone!"
"Okay, okay... don't worry, my dear, it's okay. Our family still has savings, so tomorrow! Mom will take you to buy a new mobile phone tomorrow, okay?"
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the young man nodded, and then glared at his sister fiercely.
"Cao Panxing, are you crazy? How can you graduate? Didn't you agree before that you would continue to stay in the martial arts academy? Where can you find a high-paying job as a poor student?"
"Yes! Cao Pandi, how can you not discuss such a big matter with us? I don't care! Come back to me tomorrow!" the woman said with wide eyes.
Cao Panxing looked at them and smiled.
The middle-aged man frowned and said in a deep voice: "Cao Pandi, aren't you a little too selfish? It's not like you don't know that your brother will graduate soon, and we have to prepare to buy him a house. If you Without income, what will happen to your brother’s house?”
"Yes, Cao Pandi, you have to go back, otherwise what will happen to my house?" The young man muttered, "I already have my driver's license, and I'm planning to buy a car. I even have my eye on the car. A BMW 3 Series will do." , By the way, you can help me repay the loan when the time comes..."
Cao Panxing suddenly began to wonder.
Why do I have to live in such a suffocating environment?
She looked at the young man and asked, "I am neither your father nor your mother, why should I help you buy a car or a house?"
"You...what did you say?!" The middle-aged woman stared at her daughter in disbelief.
They, who had long been accustomed to Menghulu's character, couldn't believe that such words came out of Cao Pandi's mouth.
Cao Panxing did not speak, but walked into the room and packed his things.
"Where are you going? Are you going to rebel?" the middle-aged woman said angrily.
"Tomorrow, I will go to the capital, and I don't plan to come back in the future. Whether I want to buy a car or a house, it actually has nothing to do with me." Cao Panxing turned around and said with a smile, "Also, my name I changed it myself. My name is Cao Panxing, not Cao Pandi. Your old Cao family actually does not have the throne. You are not the queen, he is not the emperor, and this guy is not the prince. Oh...if I must say it If so, maybe I am a maid or a slave in this family?"
"You...you're crazy! Cao Pandi! You're crazy!" The woman suddenly became frightened.
It's like, something that I have always controlled is suddenly no longer under my control.
This feeling of panic was like a poisonous snake biting her heart.
There was greed in the young man's eyes.
"Going to the capital? So you have found a job? How much money will you have every month? How much are you going to pay back home?"
"That's my money, and it actually has nothing to do with you or you." Cao Panxing wrote lightly, "Of course, you can sue me, and then I will respond, but you are not old enough to need our support yet. , even if it comes later, the alimony will be about 1,800 yuan a month."
She looked at her parents, her eyes red, tears falling down her cheeks.
"You didn't expect it, did you? When I was sixteen, I was hiding in bed, secretly searching for this information."
"You dare...you dare!" The young man suddenly became furious and rushed towards Cao Panxing. He stretched out his hand and took his sister's arm. Then, Cao Panxing slapped him away with a palm. .
"ah!"
A scream came from his mouth.
His body hit the wardrobe hard, and he grimaced in pain.
"You...you dare to hit me?"
"This is called basic training. If you also have the opportunity to become extraordinary and enter the martial arts academy, maybe you can understand." Cao Panxing stared at him and said word by word, "Believe me, if I do it again, I will knock you out. Throw it upstairs, do you want to try it? My dear...brother? "
Carrying her luggage and listening to the curses behind her, she walked into the dim corridor again.
But for some reason, she suddenly felt that the corridor was much brighter tonight.
"Crossing the wind, taking a detour, my heart is still connected, as usual, the first dream..."
She hummed softly the song that Gu Yuan and the others sang. Single-handedly, at the age of twenty-four, she crawled out of the quagmire with blank eyes, like a warrior rushing to the battlefield, she drew the long bow in her hand, From now on, I am not afraid of time or wind.
