Absolutely Spoiled - Chapter 22.2

Chapter 22.2

When Yu Zhiyi and Shi Yi walked out of the class side by side, someone said enviously, “Wow, the class leader has a good relationship with his sister. Hmph, my brother only knows to grab the computer with me!”

“My brother is also the same. Usually, every day we fight, and one time we almost ran to the hospital for a DNA test,” another one added.

They only thought Shi Yi was Yu Zhiyi’s brother from the same mother, but only Qiao Lezhi knew the truth. “Something is wrong, something is wrong,” she muttered.

……………..

In the dormitory

The remaining three girls were talking.

Jiang Mier came to this conclusion based on her observations over the past two days. “I think many people in our class think that Shi Yi and Yu Zhiyi are relatives. He is a really good neighbour. Hey, Qiao Lezhi, didn’t you say they were very close? But I don’t think so.”

Judging from the situation in the past two days, Yu Zhiyi and Shi Yi did not have too much contact in the class, and the relationship was good, but it didn’t seem to be as enviable as Qiao Lezhi described.

Qiao Lezhi bit her lip and shook her head constantly. “Yes, they didn’t have much contact in these two days, but what I said is true!” She then looked into the other two girls’ eyes and said again, “I definitely didn’t exaggerate. If you don’t believe me, wait!”

Jiang Mier didn’t believe that Shi Yi had a good relationship with Yu Zhiy, as Qiao Lezhi said.

…………………..

“How are you doing? Do you have any problems after staying in school these two days?” Shi Yi asked on the way home.

“It’s okay.” She couldn’t live in the dormitory as freely as at home, but luckily her roommates were all easy to get along with.

“Are you still used to the canteen food?”

“Not bad.” She was not very picky about food.

“Then what about your classmates? Do you think you can get along with them?”

Yu Zhiyi was wondering why Shi Yi was asking so many questions. “Isn’t my brother more familiar with them than me?”

Shi Yi stopped, looked at Yu Zhiyi, and asked, “But didn’t someone say, Let me stay away from you in school so that everyone will not pay too much attention to you?”

“Brother, you know I didn’t mean that.” It was just because Shi Yi was too famous in school that she reminded him to stay a little bit more restrained so she would not get others’ attention too much.

She had experiences with others questioning her and Shi Yi’s relationship. At that time, she was quite naive, stupidly explaining to others the relationship between herself and Shi Yi every time. But she then realised it was useless to explain her relationship with Shi Yi. And now she didn’t know why, but she didn’t want to tie Shi Yi to a “relative” relationship.

Shi Yi rode a bicycle, and now Yu Zhiyi had to go home with him.

Shi Yi handed her the school bag, unlocked the bicycle lock, stepped on it, and balanced the bicycle, saying, “Sit.”

Yu Zhiyi sat on the back seat, subconsciously grasping the bottom of the front seat, and Shi Yi’s voice came from the front. “Hold it well.”

The youth’s voice was clear and mellow, wrapped in a different kind of warmth.

“Yeah.” She immediately answered and obediently stretched out her hands around Shi Yi’s waist. ‘Staying with Shi Yi makes me feel safe.’

………………….

In about twenty minutes, the two were at home.

Shi Yi took the key from Yu Zhiyi’s bag and opened the door.

They changed their shoes, and as they were about to go inside, they heard someone talking in the living room.

In the living room, they met two unexpected people.

Since suffering an injury and being released from the hospital over the summer break, Yu Zhiyi had never actually met her parents face-to-face.

Seeing her father, she felt she was struck by lightning, and she didn’t know what to do.

However, Yu Kai and Ruan Qing immediately stood up when they saw the two children and walked towards them.

Yu Zhiyi took a step back in consciousness. Shi Yi stepped in front of her without a trace and greeted them without emotion, “Uncle and Auntie.”

After all, this was Shi’s family, and when Yu Kai and Ruan Qing faced Shi Yi, they still smiled. “Xiao Yi, I have not seen you so many times, and you have become handsome again.”

Shi Yi didn’t reply.

Yu Kai and Ruan Qing looked at each other awkwardly, and after a few seconds, Ruan Qing walked towards Yu Zhyii and asked tentatively, “Yiyi, Mom and Dad came to you.”

Yu Zhiyi shook her head.

“We just want to care about you.” Ruan Qing subconsciously reached out to pull her daughter, but was avoided by Yu Zhiyi.

She grabbed the school bag from Shi Yi’s arms, seeming to want to escape from this suffocating place.

Seeing someone about to run, Yu Kai subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold her.

As soon as he touched her, Yu Zhiyi screamed in fright.

Shi Yi felt anxious and moved his hand directly to force the two to separate. Then Shi Yi turned around and hugged her, holding her in his arms, softly soothing, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Ning Suya, who had been embarrassed for a long time, finally stood up and let the two children go into the room while she stayed in the living room.

When the two children went to the room, Ning Suya spoke directly to the two adults: “You two have also seen it, and she still cannot accept you.”

In reality, Yu Kai and Ruan Qing had phoned her several times during the previous six months, but Yu Zhiyi was hesitant to meet with them. She always rejected the two people, despite respecting the child’s viewpoint.

But for some reason, even though both of them arrived at the door on their own today, they remained there and refused to leave.

“I don’t know who it is or why this kid has such a nasty temper.” Ruan Qing groaned heavily as she gazed up in the direction of the bedroom. She was still trying to figure out why her daughter even avoided her.

The choice she made was for everyone’s consideration and didn’t intentionally hurt Yu Zhiyi, so why didn’t she understand her mother?

Listening to this, Ning Suya felt confused. “You abandoned your daughter first and almost ruined a girl’s life. Why do you ask her to let it go?”

Yu Kai’s male chauvinism emerged in response to this accusation from an outsider, saying, “We are her biological parents.”

He knew that he had made a mistake, but it was only an accident when he was not sober after drinking. He also felt guilty for this for a long time and was turned away from wanting to contact his daughter many times, which was more or less uncomfortable.

Ning Suya felt that she couldn’t communicate with these two people.

“Ok, but you have seen how Yiyi responds to you, right? She is unwilling to see you, and I didn’t deliberately block it.”

“Suys, can you tell Yiyi that it is not easy for me to come back from such a long distance? Also, when the two of them entered the house just now, she was still wearing a mask, and I didn’t even see it. How is her face now?”

“How can it be? You all saw what Yu Kai did at the beginning, and she had so many stitches…” Ning Suya showed impatience with this topic.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qing also understood.

She turned her head and stared at Yu Kai bitterly. “It’s all good things you did!”

“I said I was drunk!”

“You are still arguing; you are so useless! Really useless!”

“Wait a minute, this is my home. If you two have any issues that need to be argued, please find another place.” Ning Suya directly issued an eviction order.

Yu Kai angrily said, “Yiy is my daughter; even if I take her home, it’s justified!”

“It’s okay, then trouble Mr. Yu to settle the expenses for the past few months.” Ning Suya suddenly laughed and said, “Wait, I still keep the payment slips for hospital bills for dressing changes and rechecks. Expenses for food and school fees… please settle them first.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Kai immediately became silent.

He was now earning money by doing hard labour, and he still had a tight budget.

In the end, the two did not see their daughter and left dingy.

Ning Suya sent away the two dissatisfied people, feeling her head hurt. In the beginning, she didn’t want to let them in, but the two people had to wait for their daughter to come back, even if they were standing at the door. She wondered whether these two were still concerned about their daughter’s situation, so she reluctantly let them come in and sit down. But things were not going well now, and Yu Zhiyi still got scared when she saw her father.

………………

Yu Zhiyi’s happy mood was ruined by her parents’ sudden arrival.

There was a time when she was eager to get her parents’ love and attention, even a little bit. When her parents didn’t come home, she told herself, ‘Mom and Dad work hard outside to make money for this family.’

When her mother bought her a new dress, even if it didn’t fit, she would happily say that she liked it and then comfort herself, ‘Mom has me in her heart.’

Later, she followed her father. Even if her father lost his temper with her, she still comforted herself: ‘Dad was in a bad mood because he didn’t find a job.’

After she entered the hospital, she realised the truth.

‘My mother couldn’t take care of too many people, but she chose the younger sister who needed more care.’

‘Dad is in a bad mood; why should he vent by scolding and beating me?’

Now seeing her parents, she resisted and feared from the bottom of her heart.

Although Yu Zhiyi was panicking, she did not cry.

Shi Yi thought that he had to coax the young girl after what happened today, but surprisingly, she didn’t cry. So he had to praise her. “Well done, Yiyi; you are very brave today.”

“No…” She was obviously too timid.

“Let me see if there are pearls in your eyes.” He knew that the little girl hadn’t shed tears, but the reaction was so cute that he couldn’t help but want to tease her.

“No! I won’t cry!”

Today, she was more angry than sad. “Brother, don’t underestimate me, I am very strong now!”

Besides, she didn’t want to cry in front of him.

Although Yu Zhiyi acted like nothing had happened, Shi Yi could see her inner thoughts.

Shi Yi raised his hand, rubbed her soft black hair in a natural and skillful manner, and said softly, “Yiyi, your brother may be breaking his promise.”

“What?”

“I don’t want to pretend that we are just brothers and sisters anymore. I just want everyone to see that Shi Yi and Yu Zhiyi are the best every day!” The last sentence sounds quite proud.

The little girl was amused. “Brother, you are so naive.”

“Don’t care about the eyes of others, even if everyone is discussing it, it doesn’t matter. After all, you are the only person I want to protect. When you are happy, act like a baby with me. When you are sad, you sniff and hide in my arms.”

He then lowered his head and removed Yu Zhiyi’s mask, revealing a nearly flawless face.
