Chapter 2 — Leaving a Favored Family

I looked at the work uniform on him that had not yet been changed. The school is three hundred kilometers from where he works, and it takes at least three hours to travel on the highway without stopping. "You specially ran here, just to buy medicine for her?" "Yes. I know her personality, her skin is thin, I'm afraid to go to Tu Te about this." Saying this, his brother's initially pampering tone turned into a reproach. "You're also a sister, why don't you care about your sister like that!" My throat choked. The person who cares about it so much, is it just me? "Do you need this ointment?" He glanced at my arm, frowning slightly. Payment is always with pain medication. When he gave me the medicine, he saw the plastic bag full of cold medicine and my stomach medicine. "Why did you buy so much medicine? I just met Linh Linh, she only had menstrual cramps, no other discomfort." I lowered my eyes. I'm so lazy that I don't want to explain any more. Casually speaking. "Buy for my roommate." My brother didn't suspect anything and asked me where the vegetable market was recently. "Linh Linh hasn't eaten anything all day, I'll go buy some food and make her favorite coke chicken wings." After I showed the way, my brother stopped looking at me and prepared to get in the car and leave. I called him back. "Brother, do you remember what food I like to eat the most?" He paused, as if thinking for a long time. "I'm not a picky eater. Why do you ask?" I quietly watched him get in the car and leave. Don't tell him you've been eating instant noodles all week. Just laughed at myself. It's not that I'm not picky about eating, it's just that whether I'm at home or going out to eat together. The dish everyone orders is always Tham Linh Nguyet's favorite dish. If I don't eat, I'll just be hungry. I'm dissatisfied, it's just picky eating that needs to be taught. Although the conditions in the house are not bad. But to take care of Tham Linh Nguyet's feelings, and behind the so-called fair treatment looks like a bowl of water placed horizontally. It is necessary for me to yield everywhere. Luckily, just endure this final week and you'll be fine. Returning to the dormitory, I went to the bathroom to wash my military uniform, which had been soaked in sweat and smelled bad. Soapy water splashed onto the peeling arm, causing burning pain. Before sleeping at night. Out of habit, I opened my circle of friends. Tham Linh Nguyet posted a video. 【It feels good to be loved.】 In the video, Hua Tu Te is rolling up his sleeves to help him wash his military uniform. Brother wearing an apron cooking in the kitchen. Three people, three savory dishes, one soup, and glasses of wine intersecting. I exited the friends circle and returned to the chat interface. Quiet without a sound. Even though they're only ten minutes away from each other. Still not remembered by anyone. A message intervened. This is a message that tuition fees have been refunded and student citizenship has been successfully canceled. A few days earlier than expected. I paid my roommate three hundred in advance. Immediately booked a plane ticket to Australia the next day. Just as he was about to turn off the screen to sleep, his brother sent him a lucky money envelope. 【Today, when Linh Linh mentioned it, I cried again.】 【Please accept the lucky money envelope, let's forget about living expenses. I'll apologize to Linh Linh tomorrow.】4Even Hua Tu Te, who hadn't contacted me for a long time, sent me a message. 【In the future, if you lack money for living expenses, then come find me, there's no need to make everyone feel awkward like that.】 【Tomorrow Linh Linh has already asked for leave, so when you wake up, come over and apologize directly.】 Next, was also a red envelope. I quietly looked at the chat box. So the previous awkwardness when I asked for living expenses was once again resolved thanks to Tham Linh Nguyet's light. I did not accept the lucky money bag, nor did I reply. Directly set your phone to do not disturb mode. The next day, I finished packing my things and said goodbye to my roommate. Pull your suitcase and prepare to go to the airport. Just got out of the dormitory. I saw my parents waiting

at the door. I haven't had time to react yet. My mother was shaking all over and rushed over, slapping me to the ground. I looked at my face in disbelief. "Linh Linh is your biological sister! Do you want to destroy her?" I held the side of my face that was so painful it was numb. Looking at my father, brother, Hua Tu Te was standing motionless not far away. "I didn't do anything. Since yesterday being separated from my brother, I've always stayed in the dormitory and not gone out..." "This is what you said you didn't do anything? So where did these things come from? Who printed them out and spread them everywhere?" My brother angrily rushed forward and threw a stack of photos in my face. The sharp angle swiped across my forehead, dragging drops of blood down. I lowered my eyes and looked at the photos falling to the ground. Above is the rustic appearance, both black and yellow, of Tham Linh Nguyet when she was just picked up by her parents. I opened my mouth, trying to justify myself. "It's not me... how do I have these photos..." At first, because I was taking care of Tham Linh Nguyet's feelings, I was afraid that she would have low self-esteem and be embarrassed. They burned all my photos together, my art photos from childhood to adulthood, even photos that were a hundred days old. Because of it, the whole family was even banned from using cameras for two years. I can't even keep my own photo, how can I have a photo of it? But no one believed what I said. Hua Tu Te looked at me coldly.
