Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

Not long after, Zhou Niantang came out of the bathroom covered in water.

Yun Zhi came out with the dishes, and seeing this scene, she quickly put the dishes down and walked over, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Xiao Qi likes to play with water, you have to hold his hands to wash them."

The air conditioner was on in the living room. Zhou Niantang was wet and shivered with cold.

"I wasn't paying attention. I thought he was taking the water to wash his hands." I didn't expect it to be splashed on me.

"Go to my room, I'll get you clothes to change." Yun Zhi took off her apron and took Zhou Niantang to her room.

Yunzhi's room is very simple, with a desk, a bed, a wardrobe, and no other decorations. There is a stuffed bear on the bed, but it can be seen that it is quite old.

"Wear this, take off your wet clothes, I'll wash them for you and hang them up to dry. They're easy to dry in this weather." Yun Zhi took out a pair of shorts and a T-shirt.

Zhou Niantang changed his clothes and walked out, and saw Yun Zhi in the living room teaching Xiao Qi not to splash water on others.

The sunlight poured into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony. Yun Zhi's profile looked exceptionally beautiful. Zhou Niantang even felt that she had an unusual appeal that made people unconsciously attracted to her.

She became even more convinced that Yun Zhi was Pei Shi's heroine.

She didn't feel comfortable asking the heroine to wash her clothes, so she took the clothes she had changed into and went to the bathroom.

Zhou Niantang had never washed clothes, but this skirt was changed when she went out, so it was not dirty at all. She filled the washbasin with water, simply rinsed it a few times with clean water and wrung it dry.

Yun Zhi just happened to hear the noise in the bathroom and walked over. Seeing the clothes still dripping in Zhou Niantang's hand, she reached out and took them.

She squeezed it a few times and more water came out.

Zhou Niantang: ... It makes me look even more useless as a cannon fodder!

But she still farted: "Yun Zhi, you are awesome!"

Yun Zhi didn't know what was so great about wringing clothes. She had been used to doing this kind of thing since she was a child. When she was a child in an orphanage, they washed their own clothes.

She shook out the clothes and hung them on a clothes hanger on the balcony.

"Let's eat." Yun Zhi said.

The three of them sat down at the dining table. Zhou Niantang looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, one could tell from the color that Yun Zhi's cooking skills were good.

Zhou Niantang took a bite of the fried shrimp with asparagus and immediately praised: "It's delicious."

"As long as you like it, I'm afraid it won't suit your taste." Yun Zhi responded to Zhou Niantang while picking up food for Xiao Qi.

"No, I'm not picky about food. I eat everything." Zhou Niantang answered while eating.

A meal was enjoyed by both host and guest.

After dinner, Yun Zhi refused Zhou Niantang's offer to help, cleaned up the dishes and took them to the kitchen, and Zhou Niantang followed her.

She asked about the two bundles of books on the balcony, "Why did you put the books there? Were you a sophomore in high school?"

Yun Zhi paused with the rag in her hand, then lowered her head to hide the disappointment on her face: "Yes, in No. 2 Middle School."

Zhou Niantang's eyes lit up: "I am also from No. 2 Middle School, but I will be a sophomore after the summer vacation."

I didn't expect that the heroine actually went to the same high school as me, but I hadn't seen her in the previous school year.

"But I decided to take a leave of absence from school first." After being surprised, Yun Zhi said.

"Why?" Zhou Niantang actually knew very well that it was simply because of money, or because Xiaoqi had no one to take care of him.

Sure enough, Yun Zhi said, "It's not a good time now. Xiao Qi needs someone by his side."

Zhou Niantang felt that Yun Zhi might have downplayed the matter of losing money out of self-esteem.

No, she couldn't let the heroine drop out of school like this. Because of Zhou Yunqi, Pei Shi had already lost the opportunity to go to high school in this life.

But he has the aura of the male protagonist, and sooner or later he will succeed through other means.

As the heroine, Yun Zhi will eventually marry the hero, but the process will inevitably involve some unexpected events and setbacks.

Not to mention what benefits she would get in the future if she helped Yun Zhi, just seeing her situation, Zhou Niantang couldn't help but want to help.

However, she underestimated Yun Zhi's "weed" personality. After hearing the suggestion that she could help, Yun Zhi immediately refused.

"I'm not used to accepting help without doing anything." Yun Zhi put down the bowl in his hand and said seriously.

Zhou Niantang, in turn, felt that he had been too impatient just now.

Including today, she and Yun Zhi have only met for the third time, so they can only be considered new friends. Although to her, tuition fees and other things are just small amounts of money.

But for Yunzhi, that was not a small amount of money, and their relationship was not yet to the point where Yunzhi could accept her help without any other considerations.

This matter still needs to be done slowly, Zhou Niantang thought, fortunately there is still some time before the end of summer vacation.

She didn't mention the matter again and stayed at Yunzhi's house until the afternoon before changing into her own clothes and going back.

After sending Zhou Niantang downstairs, Yun Zhi returned home and saw Xiaoqi eating the snacks Zhou Niantang brought, with snack crumbs all over his clothes. She did not lose her temper, but walked over, pulled Xiaoqi up, and took him to the room to change clothes.

While washing clothes, she recalled Zhou Niantang's words that if it was about tuition fees, she could help.

She shook her head, shook off the wavering emotions in her heart, and continued to scrub the clothes on her hands carefully.

Zhou Niantang got in the family car and went back. On the way, she recalled what Yun Zhi had told her.

She asks her why she didn’t see her parents.

Yun Zhi then said that it turned out that she and Xiao Qi were both adopted.

They both grew up in an orphanage. Five years ago, their adoptive parents went to the orphanage to adopt Xiaoqi. Seeing that she was well-behaved, they adopted her as well.

At that time, Xiaoqi was still a normal child.

The adoptive parents treated them as their own children, and after a brief friction at the beginning, they soon became as close and harmonious as a family.

The accident happened two years ago. Xiaoqi's adoptive parents took him back to the countryside to visit his grandmother. On the way back, they encountered a mudslide and the entire car was buried.

When they were rescued, their adoptive parents had already passed away.

Xiaoqi suffered a serious head injury. Even if he was finally cured, his IQ was only that of a three-year-old.

Yun Zhi, who did not go with them because she was preparing for the high school entrance examination, escaped the disaster.

Zhou Niantang listened in silence. What kind of scumbag was this? In order to promote the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists, he had to give the female protagonist an extremely tragic life experience.

Little do people know that although it may be summarized in just a few short sentences in the book, their world is indeed still alive and well.

Zhou Niantang grew up in a honeypot, never having to worry about food and drink. Although he had never experienced such hardship, when he put himself in Yun Zhi's shoes, he could already feel the strong sense of powerlessness.

It is the feeling of powerlessness in the face of the sufferings that always come flooding in from life.

Zhou Niantang thought about it and cursed the author again in his heart.

After returning home, the careful Lolo quickly discovered that her skirt had become a little wrinkled.

"Second Miss, has this dress been washed with water?"

Zhou Niantang stopped and looked down. His clothes were indeed a little wrinkled. "I accidentally got them dirty while having dinner at a friend's house, so I washed them with water."

Luo Luo said with some regret: "This skirt is new, I'm wearing it for the first day."

Zhou Niantang was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just that this brand of clothes can't be washed. They can't be ironed flat after washing, and they look ugly when worn. They're all deformed."
