Chapter 1 — Leaving a Favored Family

The first year's military service had just passed halfway. I texted my parents to ask for the remaining 400 yuan in living expenses. Unexpectedly, they took a screenshot of my message and sent it to the relative group. 【We're the same girls, our living expenses are the same, why is it only my older sister who seems to be collecting debt?】 But my sister's four years of college living expenses, her parents transferred it all to her in one go. As for me, I have 800 yuan a month, and each month I have to divide it into two installments to give it. My nose stung and I was about to send out the detailed expense list. Then I saw my sister post a post on her friends circle. The entire set of La Mer skin care cosmetics costs almost nine thousand yuan. Brother commented below. 【Only knows how to be beautiful. Every month I give you an extra two thousand yuan for living expenses, is that how you use it? When the time comes to spend too much, I won't worry about it.】 My childhood friend also replied. 【Don't be afraid, if you spend too much, I'll take care of you then.】 Parents who were complaining in the group immediately appeared in the comments section. 【Don't be afraid to waste money, the military is so hot and miserable, you really need to buy some good skin care products. Later, my parents will send me a large envelope of lucky money to make up for living expenses.】 I looked at my arm being exposed to the sun until the skin peeled off. Turn around and forward the Australian university admission email I received yesterday to my academic advisor. 【I would like to cancel my domestic citizenship and transfer to study abroad.】 …… The academic advisor was stunned for a few seconds and did not advise me. 【My university entrance exam score is 684, going to our private university is a waste of money.】 I smiled bitterly. 684 points, who ever noticed? At first, when the test scores came out, everyone was busy comforting her younger sister Tham Linh Nguyet who failed her university entrance exam. Because of that, they even secretly changed my first wish to be exactly like it. The day I received the admission notice, I was stunned. My parents covered my sister's ears and shouted at me. "If you really get into Thanh Hoa Bac Dai, how self-conscious will Linh Linh be, how much pressure will she have?" "As an older sister, shouldn't I follow the principle that happy people have to give in and take good care of their sister's feelings?" I tightened my grip on the admission notice, my fingertips almost bleeding. When she was ten years old, her parents picked up her younger sister, whom they had left at her grandmother's house in the countryside years before. I was very happy, proactively gave up my room and moved into the living room. Then he wanted a dance studio, so I moved it from the living room to the storage room. After that, its achievements were at the bottom many times. My certificate of merit, my class rank, even my very personality, became taboo in this house. To take care of his emotions, in twelfth grade I moved from the storage room to a cheap rented house near school. Even when Tet wants to go home, he has to ask Tham Linh Nguyet's permission. Luckily, they corrected my wishes. But I didn't know that at that time I was also applying to study abroad. The phone vibrates. I opened the 88-yuan red envelope my mother sent me. 【Didn't I say 400?】 80 yuan, I can't even buy a bottle of shampoo. To be able to endure until the middle of the month. My shampoo and shower gel are all small, unlabeled bags bought at a mini supermarket. After using it, my scalp was so itchy that I couldn't sleep all night. Mom responded very quickly. 【I just paid for Linh Linh's skin care cosmetics, now I have no more money in my hand for you.】 I looked at the bowl of instant noodles that had been soaked until soft in my hand. Send detailed expense sheet. 【So can my child's living expenses be refunded?】 After a long time, she answered. 【What do you mean? That year, Linh Linh had just been picked up, her skin was both black and yellow, how long did it take to take care of it, I don't know about these things.】 【Furthermore,

That year, if it wasn't Linh Linh, the person who stayed in the countryside would have been me. On this point alone, I don't have the qualifications to compete with Linh Linh.】 But I would rather that the person who drew the lottery that year was me. “Bang——” The dormitory door was suddenly pushed open by Tham Linh Nguyet. His eyes reddened, he put down the pile of skin care cosmetics in his lap in front of me. "It's all for you, don't make it difficult for your parents anymore." But I don't need these things. I only want to eat white rice, not instant noodles. See I didn't say anything. Tham Linh Nguyet gritted her teeth and took out her bank card. "If you think it's still not enough, you can use the money in this card." I didn't have time to say anything. The voices of her parents and older brother came from her phone. "Linh Linh! Don't do anything stupid, I've already given him money, what should I do?" "Tham Linh Tuyet, if you dare to take Linh Linh's money, don't come back to this house in the future!" "Yes! Don't call me brother anymore!" I heard those familiar voices, remembering before Tham Linh Nguyet returned home. I was also a child who was pampered by the whole family. When it rains, I'm afraid my small leather shoes will get splashed with mud. My brother at that time was obviously shorter than me, but he insisted on carrying me across the puddle. On International Children's Day, when I go on stage to perform, I'm afraid I'll be stressed, so my parents will specially ask for time off to come cheer for me. Even the lucky money for Tet, my share will always be double. Because my brother gave me his share. But now, they will also threaten me because of Tham Linh Nguyet, wanting to break off relations with me. The last bit of expectation in my heart finally became ridiculous. Tears mixed with self-pity and unwillingness fell onto the back of his hand. I suddenly grabbed Tham Linh Nguyet's phone. Just about to question them, on what basis do they feel sorry for their sister and have to sacrifice me? But before the words left my mouth, my eyes were attracted by the group chat name and the chat background. "When did everyone go to take family photos?" 2 Tham Linh Nguyet snatched the phone back and turned off the group call. "Who gave you permission to touch my phone!" But I saw clearly. The group's name is 【Guardian Spirit of Linh Linh】. Hua Tu Te's parents, brother, and childhood friend were all there. The chat background is also a photo of the five of them together. No matter the corner, there is no me. The same goes for the group, the same for family photos. "On the first day of school, we took photos near the school. It's because you didn't go, so who can blame you!"But it was clear after registering for that day. Tham Linh Nguyet loudly said that the dormitory conditions were too bad. People gathered around him to rent a two-room apartment with a living room nearby. I lost balance in my heart and expressed dissatisfaction. Parents said it was to treat them fairly. "In twelfth grade, didn't you also rent a house outside for a year? Now let Linh Linh experience the pain of renting a house outside on your own." But is that the same? I rented a house to take care of his feelings, but the whole family kicked me out. It rents a house to improve its quality of life. So, when I ran back to school filled with sadness, they went together to take family photos. No one cares about my feelings. I kicked Tham Linh Nguyet out of the dormitory. Follow the process sent by your academic advisor and step by step submit your withdrawal application. The fastest is when the military ends, which is half a month later, all the processes will be completed. Registration fees can also be fully refunded, plus scholarships and money to study while working, and living abroad should not be a problem. The military afternoon ended, Hua Tu Te sent a message. 【Quickly go to the school gate, I'll bring you a gift.】 My birthday is more than ten days away. Every year Hua Tu Te will prepare birthday gifts in advance

for me. I happily rushed out of the dormitory building. But when he received the concert ticket in Hua Tu Te's hand, his heart immediately fell to the bottom. "What's wrong? Don't you like this group the most?" As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice stabbed into his eardrums. "Wow! It's the band Tangerine! How did you steal it?" I don't know when Tham Linh Nguyet ran over, when she saw the ticket she excitedly exclaimed. "I watched for days and nights, but I couldn't steal it!" Hua Tu Te. He didn't look at me anymore, turned his head and petted his cheek. "I knew right away that you liked it, I specially spent three times the price to buy it from someone else." Turns out it was because Tham Linh Nguyet liked it. I swallowed the sour taste rising in my throat and returned the ticket to him. "You two go, I won't go anymore." The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. Tham Linh Nguyet quickly put the ticket back into Hua Tu Te's hand. "It's definitely because of you that I don't want to go." "Mr. Tu Te, you should take me first. If you want to go later, you can go alone." Hua Tu Te frowned. Looking impatiently at me, I opened my mouth. "What's wrong with you? Are you still angry at Linh Linh because of living expenses?" "We're both siblings, I bought the concert tickets, hoping to use this opportunity for the two of us to shake hands and reconcile. Do you have to be so stubborn?" Back and forth, it's still because of Tham Linh Nguyet. Not because of my birthday. I took a deep breath, still opening my mouth to explain. "It's not because of her." "I know very well, at first you liked the band Tangerine, just because of the lead singer." "But now the lead singer has not only been kicked out by the whole band, but is also in a lawsuit with the band over music copyright, how can you still go see..." "Okay, okay! You only know how to show off your face!" Hua Tu Te angrily interrupted me. "Linh Linh just wanted to please you." If you can't go, why can't you learn to be a little more lenient? Remember, before Tham Linh Nguyet returned, Hua Tu Te also took me out of school to attend the band's autograph session. The moment he got the signature, he looked at me excitedly and swore. When I grow up, I will definitely take me to see one of their concerts. But later, he was busy going to Disneyland with Tham Linh Nguyet, taking her to Bach Van Mountain to watch the meteor shower, and stealing a master vinyl record for her. He forgot all about his promise to me. It was very difficult to remember thanks to Tham Linh Nguyet's light. But the reason I liked that band was long gone. I froze in place, forgetting the way I arrived.3I heard that buying medicine abroad is very expensive, so I borrowed three hundred yuan from my roommate. I decided to take advantage of the weekend off to buy some medicine and household items. When paying, the boss stared at my sunburned arm. "Aren't you about to go abroad? Sunburn ointment will also work." I lowered my eyes and looked at the price tag above. 60 yuan, far beyond the budget. Furthermore, I still have a lot of household items that I haven't bought yet. "What about going abroad?" At the grocery store. My brother, who was clearly working in another city, suddenly appeared. "A few days ago, weren't you still crying and saying you had no money? Now you have money to go abroad to play?" I tightened my plastic bag, but didn't have time to answer. The brother turned around and asked the boss for pain relief medicine. He shook his head and complained. "Linh Linh is really, so big. He knew he would have menstrual cramps, but he still didn't know how to prepare any medicine." Completely put the doubts from just now behind him.
