She is in the fog

He Xi pretended to have an itchy throat and coughed twice, "Friend."

"More than that." He Huan raised her eyebrows and smiled wickedly.

He Xi scratched his head and quickly changed the subject: "Sister, aren't you a boarding student? Why don't you stay in the school dormitory?"

"I took a special leave to celebrate your birthday."

"Your home is so close to No. 1 Middle School, why don't you go to school as a day student but choose to live on campus?"

"Because I want to make more friends." He Huan said, "Also, I'm tired of staying at home and listening to my mom nagging all day long."

Hearing this, He Xi's eyes dimmed and she lowered her head, "Actually, I really want to listen to my mother's nagging."

Seeing He Xi's dejected look, He Huan knew that she was thinking of He Yanyan. Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, she quickly turned her head to the sky outside the balcony.

The sky cleared up after the rain, the stars were extremely bright, and He Huan felt emotional.
"Yangyang, when I was young, my grandfather passed away due to illness. My mother told me that after a person dies, his soul will rise into the sky and become a star in the sky, guarding the people on earth and giving them guidance and direction. At that time, I looked up at the sky every day, looking for my grandfather's star. Even when I grew up and realized that this was a fairy tale dream woven by my mother for me, I was still willing to immerse myself in the dream, believing that the people who loved me would become stars in the sky after death, watching over me and accompanying me in another way. Yangyang, in fact, your aunt is like a star in the sky, and she never leaves."

After listening to He Huan's consolation, He Xi sighed slightly. She looked up at the sky, counted the stars in the sky, and said lightly: "Maybe."

He Huan lowered her eyes, and they both fell into silence.

"Yangyang, Xiaohuan, let's eat watermelon."
Soon, He Wenli's voice came from the kitchen. He Huan said "Hey", then patted He Xi's shoulder, motioning her to eat watermelon quickly, and then she hurried to the kitchen.

He Xi took a deep breath, looked for the brightest star in the sky, blinked at it with a smile, and followed He Huan into the kitchen.

He Huan picked up a piece of watermelon and took a big bite. After a few quick bites, she frowned and said, "Mom, did you not wash the knife? It smells like chopped green onions!"

He Wenli said dissatisfiedly: "Of course I washed it!"

He Huan complained, "You have to wash it with detergent, I think you just rinsed it. The scallion-flavored watermelon is too disgusting! I can't eat it!"

After saying this, He Huan put the watermelon aside and pouted her lips in a coquettish manner.

Upon hearing this, Sun Siqin also came over, picked up a piece of watermelon, and muttered, "How can I be so picky? It's good enough to have something to eat. In our time, we were hungry eight out of ten days." After that, she also took a bite of the watermelon, swallowed it whole, then put the watermelon aside, picked up the knife on the chopping board, squeezed two drops of detergent, and began to wash it carefully with a dish towel.

He Huan joked, "Grandma, what are you doing?"

"Wash the knife and cut off the noodles later."

Everyone laughed and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After celebrating He Xi's birthday and tidying up the living room and kitchen, Sun Siqin and the others planned to go home.

"Good boy, take good care of yourself these few days, and then you can move in with grandma on the weekend. Then you won't have to suffer."
Before leaving, Sun Siqin repeatedly told He Xi to take good care of herself.

"I know, grandma, you should take care of yourself too." He Xi agreed with a smile.

After Sun Siqin and the others left, He Sicheng and Chen Quxin came out cursing.

"If you want to move out, I think you should move out today to avoid annoying people here." Chen Quxin rolled his eyes at He Xi, "Your whole family is like this. You have ruined the house. It's true that you are like your mother, like your children."

He Xi said coldly: "Not to mention that this house was bought in full by my mother, it is not your turn to say anything. Besides, the table has been cleaned, the dishes have been washed, and I will take out the trash tomorrow. Speak nicely!"

He Xi's tone was very unfriendly, so Chen Quxin frowned and looked at He Sicheng, complaining, "Look, this is your good daughter. You've raised her well for seventeen years, but in the end, she's still an ungrateful person. Is this the attitude you should have when talking to your elders?"

He Sicheng was so embarrassed that he was furious. He pointed at He Xi's nose and cursed, "Who told you to talk to your elders like that? Apologize to Aunt Chen!"

He Xi snorted coldly and said through gritted teeth: "Have you apologized to your mother? He Sicheng, Chen Quxin, the two of you..."

"What's wrong with us?" Chen Quxin was still adding fuel to the fire.

He Xi paused for a moment, thought about it and changed his words, saying viciously: "You are so shameless!"

Chen Quxin stamped her feet, tears welled up in her eyes for a moment, and she looked at He Sicheng aggrievedly, "Look, it's not easy for me. Today, when you are at home, she can call us by our full names and say that we are shameless. You can imagine how badly she scolds us when you are not at home on weekdays... I have said it before, if it is not your own child, you will never be able to tame it."

He Sicheng was furious, pointing at He Xi's nose and cursing, "I've raised you for seventeen years, that's already good enough! Even if the bean sprouts grow taller than the sky, they're still just food! Why are you so arrogant? Without me, you're nothing! You're just an unwanted bastard, at most a rat in the gutter, do you really think you can shine as bright as the sun?"

Unexpectedly, He Xi laughed instead of getting angry: "Ah, yes, yes, I am a bastard, I am a rat in the gutter, are you satisfied?"

Seeing He Xi's disdainful look, He Sicheng was so angry that he grabbed an iron ball with fingers on the shelf nearby and threw it at He Xi with all his strength. He Xi was quick-witted and dodged sideways.

Hehe, are you angry because you didn’t hit me?

The iron ball hit the ground with a "bang bang" sound, and cracked the floor tiles. Hearing this loud noise, He Jingrui and He Jingqi could no longer pretend to sleep quietly, and each secretly poked their heads out of their rooms. "Dad, stop making noise." He Jingqi persuaded in a low voice, "Sister He Xi, don't be angry with Dad."

He Sicheng was so angry that he couldn't help but glare at her and scolded her, "Who told you to come out? Go back in and sleep!"

He Jingrui quickly retracted his head, and He Jingqi also showed a look of fear on his face, and hurriedly hid back in the room.

He Xi knew that He Jingqi and He Jingrui must be very scared, because He Sicheng was always so moody. When things were good for him, he wanted to pick all the stars for him, and when things were bad for him, he wanted to strangle him to death.

She had experienced this many times before.

She didn't want the brother and sister to continue to worry, so she simply rolled her eyes at the couple, put her hands in her school uniform pockets, and walked slowly towards her room.

After walking into the room and closing the door, He Xi recalled the scene just now. He Sicheng had used all his strength when throwing the iron ball. If it had really hit him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She shook her head slightly and smiled meaningfully.

Doesn't she have a temper?
Of course she has a temper.

But she couldn't let her temper run wild. She knew it would be terrible if an adult couldn't control her emotions.

As moody as He Sicheng?
He Xi didn't want to be a person like him, and didn't want to throw all his bad emotions to the people close to him like him.

She turned to the left and saw Aesop's Fables on the desk. She was suddenly in a trance: when she was a child, her mother would tell her fables to coax her to sleep. In her memory, her mother was never angry and always had a smile on her face...

"The He in He Xi has always been the He in He Yanyan, and never the He in He Sicheng."
Anyway, since her last life, she decided to have nothing to do with He Sicheng anymore.

At five o'clock in the morning, He Xi woke up early because he had eaten a lot of watermelon last night. After coming out of the bathroom, he passed by the living room and found two stacks of newspapers on the TV cabinet.

He Xi picked up the newspaper and took a quick look. Both stacks were from November 11. The largest page was an interview with Li Jingyuan, CEO of Yuanshan Zhiyun.

He Xi yawned, thinking about going back to the bedroom and sleeping a little longer. He didn't have the energy to continue checking, so he put down the newspaper, turned off the lights in the living room, and hurried back to his room.

Morning self-study class is over.

Mingmei went to the office to find the head teacher, and Wenwan lay on the table and fell asleep.

Li Xingyu also fell asleep on the table.

Her experience of living in the school dormitory was not pleasant. There was a person in the dormitory who snored loudly, which prevented her from falling asleep for a long time. So she would lie on the table and sleep whenever she had time.

He Xi looked at Li Xingyu and wondered why she looked so listless recently, so he asked curiously, "Li Xingyu, what's wrong with you? It's like you haven't slept for hundreds of years."

Li Xingyu didn't raise his head or open his eyes, and muttered: "Our class's dormitory is full, so I was assigned to the dormitory of the class next door. There's someone in the dormitory who keeps snoring when he sleeps, and it's killing me."

"Is it so exaggerated?"
"You'll know after you try it."
"Come and help me move some stuff on Sunday morning."

Li Xingyu opened his eyes, stood up, yawned and said, "What? Do you really want to give it a try? Do you want to live on campus too? I was just kidding. Do you really want to live on campus?"
Li Xingyu glanced at Wen Wan who was sleeping on her stomach, and continued to ask: "Aren't you going to send Wen Wan and Ming Mei home? I told you that road is very bleak at night and not safe."

"I don't live on campus. I'm moving."

Li Xingyu was no longer sleepy. "Where are we moving to? Are we moving with the whole family? Let He Sicheng find a moving company."

"I'm moving in with my grandma."
"Your grandma lives so far away, isn't it inconvenient for you to go to school?"
"My grandmother rented a house in Fangcao Garden, and I moved to Fangcao Garden."

When He Xi said this, Ming Mei just returned to her seat and asked curiously, "He Xi, are you going to move to Fangcao Garden? Is it the house on Fangcao Lane?"

"Yes, it's quite close to your place."

"Great!" Mingmei clapped her hands. "Then we can go to school together. When are we moving?"

"this weekend."

Mingmei sat back in her seat, blinked and asked, "I happen to be free this weekend, how about I help you move your things?"

Wen Wan was no longer sleepy after hearing this, she raised her head and said, "Then I'll go too, I've never been to your house before."

He Xi said with a smile: "Thank you in advance, I will treat you to lunch after the move is completed."

"A word is settled!"
