Yuruo once again asked her grandfather to drop out of school, but the result was hopeless. She knew that she couldn't provoke her sick father anymore, so she buried her head in her food and waited for the afternoon to come.
When they arrived at school in the afternoon, the students were still practicing hard as they walked on the diamond team. From time to time, Yuruo would look at An Yu Fanxu and the others behind her, but everyone was playing there and no one paid attention to Yuruo. At this moment, Yuruo was extremely tired. Just as she was feeling helpless, Mu Xiao's voice suddenly came from the side,"Yuruo, give me a wet towel to wipe your sweat.”
Yuruo raised her head slightly and looked at Mu Xiao, who was handing her a wet towel. In an instant, a warm current flowed into her heart. At this time, there was still someone who cared about her. Yuruo was happy and aggrieved. She took the wet towel from Mu Xiao and thanked him repeatedly, but her face showed a complicated expression.
"Yuruo, something seems off with you recently. Why don't you play with Fan Xu and the others? Aren't you good with them?”Mu Xiao squatted down and asked Yuruo in confusion.
Yu Ruo sighed heavily,"Sigh, I lost my friends because of a man who treated me badly. I'm all alone now. I don't know how I'll live my life in the future.”
"A man? Is it the one you brought for my birthday? I told you long ago that he can't do it. He only thinks about himself and won't care about your feelings.”Mu Xiao said to Yuruo in a gentle tone.
"I have nothing now. I have lost my friend and him.”Yu Ruo said with a pained expression.
"There's nothing that can't be overcome in life. I can accompany you in the future. Don't think too much about it.”Mu Xiao persuaded Yuruo.
At first, Yuruo thought that Mu Xiao was just trying to persuade her out of kindness. She had lost all confidence in herself. She felt that the circle in the class was fixed, and no one would be willing to " take in " her exhausted self.
After school, Yuruo was walking alone in the campus when someone patted her shoulder.
"Hey, Yuruo, let's ride home together, I'll accompany you.”Mu Xiao smiled at Yuruo.
"Alright, let's go together." Yu Ruo agreed with a knowing smile.
The two of them walked together on the way home. At this time, the considerate Mu Xiao asked Yuruo with all kinds of confusion,"“
Yuruo, when I went to school with Jingxue, I heard her mention that you came from a single-parent family. Who are you living with now?”
Yu Ruo forced a smile and said to Mu Xiao,""I live with my grandparents. My parents have their own families now, and I'm going back to my grandfather's house now.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiao's eyes revealed a deep sympathy as he said,""Don't take it to heart. It's actually nothing. As long as you're strong enough to live your life, it's fine.”
Yuruo knew that Mu Xiao was comforting her from time to time. Facing such a considerate Mu Xiao, Yuruo could not suppress her feelings for a moment and told him everything that had happened recently.
"Xiao, I really don't want to stay in this school anymore. I can't face the pain that everything around me has brought me. I admit that I'm a coward and don't dare to face these blows, but whether it's family, friendship, or love, they are all fatal to me. I really don't have the courage to face them.”Yuruo said to Mu Xiao dejectedly.
Mu Xiao sighed and said to Yuruo,"Yuruo, since you chose this school, you have to face everything well. This is your responsibility. Don't be afraid of setbacks. You have already experienced so many hardships. You should be stronger than others. Don't take unnecessary things too seriously. Also, if you don't abandon me as a friend in the future, I will accompany you.”
When Yu Ruo heard Mu Xiao's sincere words, she suddenly felt as if she had a new lease of life. Could it be that she felt better because someone was willing to accompany her? No, she hoped that someone would understand her and become her best friend. Mu Xiao, would she be? Once, she had experienced Xia Lin, who she could trust, and Fan Xu, who loved her dearly. But now, they had all left her. The current Yu Ruo was a little confused, not knowing if she should believe in the friendship that would last forever.
"I should turn around. My house is over there. The sports meet is tomorrow.”After saying goodbye to Mu Xiao, Yuruo turned the steering wheel and drove west.
Behind him, Mu Xiao said loudly,""Be careful on the road. Call me if anything happens.”
Yu Ruo was in a much better mood than she was in the morning when she arrived home. Regardless of whether Mu Xiao had sincerely " taken her in " or not, Mu Xiao's words had warmed her uneasy heart to varying degrees. Yu Ruo instantly wanted to continue staying at No. 13 High School with the attitude of giving it a try. She hoped that she would really be able to survive one day.
Early the next morning, Yuruo rushed to school. Today was the opening ceremony of the school's sports meet, and the Diamond team was going to start. The students all changed into their custom-made class uniforms. The special class uniforms symbolized the unity of the Class 2 group. Everyone tidied up their clothes and went downstairs one after another to get ready to line up. This time, Yuruo was no longer alone. She and Mu Xiao went downstairs to the field together. Along the way, they talked and laughed with Mu Xiao. Yuruo instantly revealed that rare smile again.
The students lined up in an orderly manner, ready to start the opening ceremony of the sports meet.
"Yuruo, tidy up your clothes." Mu Xiao said as he helped Yuruo tidy up her uneven clothes.
"Ah Xiao, you're really like a mother, haha.”Yuruo smiled as she spoke to Mu Xiao.
"Look at you, you can't even tidy your clothes properly all day. You're really like a kindergarten child.”Mu Xiao said as he helped Yu Ruo brush the dust off her clothes.
Mu Xiao's small actions and warm words made Yuruo feel gratified.
The sports meet officially began. A light drizzle drifted from the sky. The autumn season was extremely cold. The students walked around the sports field in an orderly manner. The light rain did not interrupt the enthusiasm of the students. Everyone worked together to successfully complete the opening ceremony of the sports meet.
Even though it was a light drizzle, the students were all drenched to varying degrees. After the opening ceremony, everyone moved their own stools and sat on the basketball to watch the game. At this time, Yuruo felt an extra piece of clothing on her shoulder. She turned her head and saw that Mu Xiao had put a long-sleeved school uniform on her.
"It's getting cold. Don't catch a cold." Mu Xiao said as he draped clothes over Yuruo.
Yuruo looked at Mu Xiao in front of her and felt that she was very close to her. Mu Xiao also moved a stool over and slowly sat beside Yu Ruo. The two of them chatted and laughed. At that moment, Yu Ruo felt that she had found the warmth of friendship again.
Mu Xiao took out his phone. It was a pink oppo music phone. Mu Xiao took out his headphones and handed one to Yuruo. The two of them sat there quietly listening to the songs downloaded on the phone.
He heard an English song called " Burning " from his earpiece. It was a very penetrating song.
"This song is pretty good." Yuruo said happily to Mu Xiao.
"Right? This song is my boyfriend's favorite song. I have to work hard to learn it and sing it for him.”A blissful smile appeared on Mu Xiao's face.
"Xiao, is he good to you?" Yuruo asked Mu Xiao.
"Yes, yes, it's quite good. He's quite considerate. Look, he bought all these delicious food for me.”Mu Xiao took out a few bags of snacks and handed them to Yuruo.
"You're so lucky, but I've met someone unkind.”Yuruo sighed.
"Silly girl, what's the rush? As long as you can meet someone who treats you well, time is not a problem.”Mu Xiao said to Yuruo meaningfully.
"I hope so. I'll meet someone who treats me well.”Yu Ruo looked at the gloomy sky and comforted herself.
"Let's go eat after the sports meet is over. I know a place that serves spicy hotpot.”Mu Xiao said.
"Alright, it'll be over soon." Yuruo said with a bright smile.
The half-day sports meet ended just like that. Yuruo and Mu Xiao were not in the mood to watch the game. They spent most of their time talking.
It was still drizzling. The two of them decided not to ride their bikes and took the bus to eat. Under Mu Xiao's lead, they came to a snack bar. Mu Xiao recommended the spicy pot in this shop. Yuruo sat on a stool and waited. At this moment, Mu Xiao suddenly walked out of the snack bar. She turned around and said that she wanted to buy something better. Yuruo chuckled and said to herself,"Haha, this guy really loves to eat.”
The food was ready and served on the table, but Mu Xiao was not back yet. Yuruo was a little curious. What was so delicious that she was attracted to it? At this moment, Mu Xiao walked in with a small bag wrapped in brown paper.
"I'm so tired. There are so many people. I waited in line to get here. Hurry up and try it. The Pan-Fried Pork Bun here is especially delicious, especially the three fresh fillings.”Mu Xiao said as he picked up a pan-fried bun and placed it by Yuruo's mouth.
Yuruo didn't stand on ceremony and directly opened her mouth to take a bite of the pan-fried bun. The hot soup inside flowed out of her mouth. Mu Xiao, who was sitting opposite her, quickly picked up the napkin on the dining table and wiped the soup from the corner of Yuruo's mouth. As he wiped, he said to Yuruo,"Look at you. You're so good at eating. I told you there was soup inside, so why didn't you slow down?”
Yuruo giggled like a child,"It's burning me to death. If I eat the entire Pan-Fried Pork Bun, won't I die?”
Immediately, Mu Xiao and Yuruo both smiled. Yuruo felt that Mu Xiao was as friendly as a mother, and Mu Xiao also felt that Yuruo was a cute and sincere girl. The two of them were living happily together.
At this time, Mu Xiao suggested that she let Yuruo meet her boyfriend when she had time. In the future, whenever there was a holiday, she would bring Yuruo out to play.
What kind of plot will happen in the future? Please look forward to the next chapter.
