I Just Want to Freeload on Your Luck
Chapter 22
Zhao Yuning couldn't believe his eyes.
Did Zhao Mingxi know how long it took him to choose it?!
He was so angry that his head buzzed. He subconsciously went forward to fish out the box.
Morning Dew was wet, and the bottom of the trash can was full of dirty water.
As soon as the box was taken out, it dripped with black water. A few drops splashed on Zhao Yuning's trousers.
Many girls came downstairs with their arms linked. When they passed by him, they looked at him strangely and took a detour.
The two boys who came with Zhao Yuning scratched their heads and were a little embarrassed. They patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's the matter?
You threw it away without even opening it. Did the dorm lady not give it to your sister? "
Zhao Yuning stared at the kraft paper at the bottom of the box, which had been soaked by the dirty water in the trash can. He couldn't pick it up. The dirty water had probably soaked the gift.
He took a deep breath and finally calmed down a little. He let go of his hand, turned his head, and rushed to the duty office downstairs. Yes, that must be it. The dorm lady didn't give it to Zhao Mingxi.
As soon as he rushed over, the lady at the window looked up and recognized him before he could say anything. "Hey, it's you. Don't ask me if I didn't give it to the girl. I gave it to her personally when she came back last night. I didn't even change shifts because of it!"
Zhao Yuning put his hand on the window and couldn't believe it. "How did it appear in the trash can?!
You didn't even open it! "
"The girl threw it away herself!
She took it from my hands and threw it away without even looking at it! "
After the lady finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Yuning suspiciously. "You're not her brother, are you?
She said that if you come again in the future, no matter what it is, she will refuse to accept it. "
Zhao Yuning was furious. "How can I not be her brother?!"
The lady said, "If you're her brother, why didn't she accept your gift?!
Hurry up and leave. Don't sneak around the girls' dormitory. Also, I advise you to study hard — "
The auntie glanced at the nameplate on Zhao Yuning's chest. "You're only in your first year of high school, but you're already learning how to chase after a beautiful senior. Third year students are so busy with their studies. How can they have time to care about you?
Let me give you a piece of advice, but it won't work out! "
Zhao Yuning: "…"
Zhao Yuning's heart was filled with a ball of anger that had nowhere to vent.
Other than the anger after being humiliated and the awkwardness of having her gift thrown away by her two friends, there was nothing else.
There was also a trace of unexplainable irritation mixed with fear.
He waved his hand and left.
His two friends hurriedly caught up with him. One of them said, "Your sister has a bad temper. Why is she still running away from home after so long?
In my opinion, what does this have to do with you?
Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal for her to stay in school. She can't possibly not come back during the New Year.
By the way, isn't it your mother's birthday soon?
It just so happens that she has a way out. "
"You're the one with a bad temper!" Zhao Yuning was upset. "You don't know my family's situation, so don't talk nonsense!"
Now, it wasn't as simple as running away from home. Now, Zhao Mingxi wanted to cut ties with them!
In the past, there had never been a situation where he couldn't coax Zhao Mingxi after giving her gifts and trying to please her one after another.
This was really the first time.
The other one comforted him. "I think so too. Don't be anxious. Your sister will be fine after a while.
My sister and I often quarrel. At the height of our quarrel, she directly booked a plane ticket to go abroad. But we're family after all. Things will be fine after a while. "
Zhao Yuning stopped in his tracks and rubbed his forehead. "You don't understand. My family's situation is really complicated.
Between me and her … it's different from between you and your sister. "
Although there was a gap between him and Zhao Mingxi for many years, a lot of things had happened in the past two years.
During this period of time, without Zhao Mingxi at home, Zhao Yuning often couldn't help but recall the scenes of the past two years.
His room was the closest to Zhao Mingxi's room.
There were a few times when he fell asleep on the floor in front of the sofa in the middle of the night while playing games. He found that Zhao Mingxi, who had gotten up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, would come in, move a chair, tiptoe, and take a blanket from the top of the wardrobe. Then, she gently covered him with it.
There were two times when Zhao Yuning woke up in the middle of the night and pulled Zhao Mingxi to play games with him.
Zhao Mingxi refused and said that she still had to go to school the next day. He threatened her in a low, muffled voice and said that he would teach her.
Zhao Mingxi couldn't persuade him and agreed.
The two of them locked the door, put on their headphones, and lowered the volume. They had a guilty conscience in the middle of the night.
The screen showed that the game was over. The blue light flickered, and the two of them hung their heads together dejectedly.
If they succeeded in the game, the two of them would laugh excitedly and give each other a high five.
Zhao Yuning was 14 years old, but he knew that Zhao Mingxi wanted to integrate, so she tried to please him.
At first, he was a little repulsed by this.
