Today is the day to visit my mom.
My mom raised me alone, and she always said that girls must study hard, achieve success, and make sure men do not look down on them.
For this goal, I put all my effort into studying.
But unexpectedly, despite my hard work, I became a target of bullying.
I did nothing wrong.
It was just because I dressed inappropriately.
It was just because I spoke a little too loudly.
It was just because I laughed too exuberantly that a few girls surrounded me and started hitting me.
I didn’t dare tell my mom, fearing it would worry her.
The teachers couldn’t control them either.
The more I resisted, the harder they hit me.
Until one day, they cornered me against the wall, and I felt the heavy brick in my bag.
"What are you doing!"
A cold boy's voice rang out, and the circle dispersed.
His indifferent gaze swept over them, and they scattered like birds and beasts.
Just like that, Xiao Cheng protected me throughout my three years of middle school.
I studied desperately and got into the same university as him.
But when I finally mustered the courage to confess my feelings to him, I found out that he already had his own white moonlight.
His name is Yong Nan.
My parents divorced early.
My dad doesn't love my mom; he has been secretly raising a woman outside and even had a child, Yong Nan, who is older than me.
Heh.
So, Xiao Cheng's white moonlight turns out to be my half-sister.
On the way back, I passed by the entrance of the community and saw Xiao Cheng and Yong Nan.
The two were walking side by side, chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
I rarely see the smile on Xiao Cheng's face.
It was like a breath of spring, gentle and warm.
"Ah—" Yong Nan screamed.
A dirty little dog jumped out from the bushes, barking wildly at her.
"Woof woof woof!"
Yong Nan was so scared that she quickly hid in Xiao Cheng's arms.
Xiao Cheng supported her, but his hand only lightly rested there before he quickly withdrew it.
He is someone who pays great attention to boundaries.
In the next moment, he saw me.
"Duo'er."
The one who reacted faster than me was Yong Nan.
She smiled and greeted me, "Long time no see, sister."
I slowly walked over, bent down, and picked up the little puppy.
"I want to take care of it."
The atmosphere instantly cooled.
I raised my eyes and looked at Xiao Cheng.
"I want to take care of it."
Xiao Cheng looked at me, saying nothing.
I stared back at him, my gaze firm.
I took the puppy to the vet for a check-up.
The little dog had many skin injuries and a broken bone.
Fortunately, it was very well-behaved.
It didn't make a fuss from the moment we walked in.
Xiao Cheng followed behind me, hesitating to speak.
In the end, he said nothing at all.
I named the puppy Pipi.
When we got home, the atmosphere felt a bit stiff.
Xiao Cheng remained silent, and I did too.
Until we entered the bedroom.
I sat on the bed, watching Xiao Cheng walk in wearing his pajamas.
The warm light fell on him, softening his sharp features a little.
“Xiao Cheng.”
He suddenly stopped in his tracks, raised his head, and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“Do you still remember the promise you made to me?”
He frowned slightly, “Which promise?”
“You said you would always treat me well.”
A look of realization crossed his face, “Of course.”
He paused for a moment and then asked, “Why did you suddenly think of this?”
I shook my head, “It’s nothing.”
My stomach began to ache again.
I forced a smile.
Xiao Cheng nodded, “That’s good.”
He reached out and turned off the light.
The lights in the room suddenly went out.
He leaned down and kissed my lips.
“Good night.”
He held me close, his breathing shallow.
I carefully wriggled out of his embrace, turned around, and faced him.
