Both papa and mama looked at each other, then mama Li told her in a comforting tone "baby don't cry. Your sister said that the professor gave her work to complete during this vacation, so she will not be coming during the holidays. Don't cry baby or your eyes will look ugly". As soon as mama Li said this, Yuyan stopped crying but was still hiccupping by controlling her tears.
Her eyes had always been her favorite so she stopped crying and was looking at her mama with tear filled eyes but not allowing them to flow down. Her brother was the one who broke this crying scene with his sarcastic remarks "it because of your favoritism is this girl always a cry baby not willing to grow up , even though she has reached the final of her middle school."
Papa Li gave a head smack to his son and said "I'm willing to favor my youngest daughter, what has it to do with you?" Papa Li has always respected his grandmother very much and when his youngest daughter was born with the pair of eyes resembling his grandmother he spoiled her with all the love he could give. According to papa li, boys should be brought stricter and girls should get all the pampering. So he was always stricter with his son compared to his daughters.
He then turned to his daughter, touched her hair softly and said " baby, shushu has her own life now and she cannot be like before coming behind you. I know you have always admired your sis and treated her as your idol but now she has to follow her dream so she could continue to be your idol right?"
Yanyan blinked her tear filled light blue eyes and nodded her head at her father. Her brother saw this and sneered at her and left for school taking his bag. Seeing this she said goodbye to her papa and mama left for school alongside brother.
Once they were seated in the car, seeing that she was still downcast her brother snorted. "Why , you only have your elder sis in your heart and you forgot about your brother right?"
"Brother, you are you and elder sister is elder sister. It has been almost 6 months since I saw sis. I'm very sad." Yanyan said and lowered her to hide the sadness in her eyes. Yuzhe saw her like this and lightly patted her hair as if coaxing her and said " Yanyan, papa is right. Sister has her own life to follow. She cannot follow us like before but wherever elder sis is she will have us in her heart."
As they were talking they quickly reached her school. 2nd Middle school which is closest to her brother's 2nd high school. He quickly dropped her off and said " I have class in the evening, so you take the car and go home." and left for his school. Her brother will be taking a college entrance exam this year so he often has evening classes.
As she was thinking about her family she didn't know where she was going and crashed with the person standing in front of her. She stabilized herself and said sorry to the person standing in front of her. Hearing no response, she lifted her head to look at the person in front of her.
She smiled as soon as she saw who was standing in front of her. Her two best friends from kindergarten. Mei xia and Peng xi. "What were you thinking so deeply keeping your head down and can't even hear us calling you ah?" asked Mei xia. "Her sister might not have come home, so she is downcast," said Peng xi. As soon as Peng xi said this, Yanyan lost her bright smile from her face. Seeing this both her friends knew that was the case.
The whole day felt like hell for her and she was barely listening in the class. As soon as the bell rang she left for the house ignoring her friends.
