I should have been able to sleep, but just when I was chatting with my brother-in-law, a WeChat call came in.
"Hateful, who..."
Cheng Siyu has been living at her parents' house after working. During this time, her mother was the only one at home, and her father was on a business trip. So when the microphone icon popped up on her phone, she subconsciously thought it was her father who was on the phone again and was verbose.
But this is just a conditioned reflex.
After seeing the caller ID clearly, Cheng Siyu's frowned eyebrows softened for a moment, and soon, another complicated emotion lightly colored his eyebrows.
"Hello? Siyu."
Cheng Siyun's voice came from the microphone.
Cheng Siyu took a deep breath.
"Sister~"
Then he responded sweetly.
…
The Cheng Siyun sisters are twins, very twins. They are almost clones from appearance to voice.
When she was in high school, Cheng Siyu often used this to tease her brother-in-law.
My sister and my sister are at the same table, and they all sit behind Qin Ren. Because Qin Ren is handsome, girls from other classes chased him for a while, and gave him a lot of snacks every day, such as Mai Li Su Lang Wei Xian corn sticks and so on. Qin Ren
They would all lend flowers and offer them to Cheng Siyun.
So Cheng Siyu would often imitate her sister's tone during class and ask him to bring out snacks. Qin Ren would often throw them back without looking back, allowing Cheng Siyu to gain a lot of advantage.
…
"Did you work overtime again today?" My sister cares about her sister as much as she cares about her "ex-boyfriend", and this is the first thing she said.
"Well…"
Cheng Siyu thought about it, and she didn't know why she wanted to consider it:
"add."
"Again...you have just joined the company, can you handle it?"
"well enough…"
Cheng Siyu tilted her head and held the phone between her shoulders and the side of her face. She freed up her hands to massage her legs gently and slowly:
"...Anyway, I'm not the only one..."
"You mean Qin Ren?"
Cheng Siyu said "hmm":
"Brother-in-law, he works much harder than me. He has to draw pictures, calculate indicators, and one person has to do two..."
"Make two?" Cheng Siyun's voice on the other side became even louder.
"Have two plans, where are you thinking..."
Cheng Siyu was speechless, changed his leg and continued pinching:
"Sister, you are mentally unhealthy."
"Tch...you, don't blame me."
Cheng Siyun snorted softly:
"Whenever you fall in love and find a boyfriend, you will definitely be healthier than me..."
"..."
Cheng Siyu stopped talking.
Are falling in love and finding a boyfriend related?
Cheng Siyu didn't think so.
As for love, maybe she should fall in love earlier than her sister...
…
Falling in love is something that you like or dislike. From a certain day, a person starts to have someone he likes in his heart, that is, he falls in love.
If we insist on saying that a relationship can only be considered after establishing a boyfriend and girlfriend, then Cheng Siyu admits that her sister did fall in love earlier than she did.
If you fall in love, you may not be able to have it.
A sweetheart is not something you can easily get just by liking it.
My sister may never understand such a thing. After all, she is lucky enough to get what she wants long ago...
…
The old memories were like yellowed old photos. Cheng Siyu was stunned, and that summer long, long ago came to mind.
I remembered that physical education class and the dilapidated infirmary.
I think of the girl who fell and was injured all over her body without shedding tears just to show off her strength in front of her sister...
Reminds me of the boy who kept silent until get out of class was over and secretly came over to hold her hand...
"Siyu, hello?"
"Eh? Sister, tell me."
"Why are you so dazed? Do you miss a man?"
"..."
There is one thing that Cheng Siyu has been doubting since she was a child: whether her sister can read minds...
"If you want a man, find a good boyfriend. Don't keep dreaming. It's rare that I even make a voice call with you but I'm still absent-minded... Humph, I won't call you in the future."
"Sister, please stop acting like a spoiled brat, okay? If you want to act like a spoiled brat, let your brother-in-law do it."
There is no need for Cheng Siyu to worry about this. Cheng Siyun will leave soon, but for now he is still more concerned about his younger sister who has just entered the workplace. They chatted for almost ten minutes, and then gradually became confused:
"Siyu, why are you always breathing?"
"I'm rubbing my legs, phew~"
As Cheng Siyu spoke, his legs tensed up again, and the bouts of soreness and fatigue were somewhat eliminated, but as he relaxed, sleepiness also followed.
"Rub your legs? What's wrong with your legs? Are you squeezing the subway?"
"No, just... ride a bike..." Cheng Siyu yawned.
"You want to ride a bike after getting off the subway? Isn't there a bus?"
"Where is the bus from Niushikou Station to our house..."
"Why are you running to Niushikou? Isn't the nearest station to our house a battlefield?"
"Anyway...Oh no, I'm so sleepy. Let's talk some other time. Good night, sister."
He uttered the truth after drinking, and the same thing happened when he was sleepy. Cheng Siyu said in a daze that he had leaked a lot of things and wanted to run away.
"Wait a minute, Siyu, there is something else."
However, just as he was about to hang up the phone, Cheng Siyu added mysteriously:
"It's a surprise."
"surprise?"
"Um."
There was a hint of joy in Cheng Siyun's tone:
"I may have to return to China early within a year."
"Eh…?"
Cheng Siyu was stunned.
…
Cheng Siyu couldn't remember what her sister said after that, and some remembered it clearly but didn't want to think about it.
But after hanging up the phone, she couldn't sleep anymore.
My sister is going back to China early.
Cheng Siyu had a feeling that she had been secretly accumulating time with that person from her sister's hands every minute, but her sister just said "return to the country early" in an understatement, as if she had taken it all back at once.
Something seemed to be holding on to her heart, sometimes tightening and sometimes loosening, making Cheng Siyu want to think about many things, but could not come up with any meaningful answers.
My mind is in a mess.
A few minutes after hanging up the phone, a sense of impending powerlessness that worried about gains and losses enveloped Cheng Siyu bit by bit from all sides until her thoughts gradually became aimless, and she took out her phone and flipped through it aimlessly.
[Qin Ren:? Classic murder of brother-in-law? ]
His eyes stayed on the last message Qin Ren sent him tonight. Cheng Siyu's mood relaxed a little, and the corners of his lips raised, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
Sure enough... let's cherish the present first...
My sister is going back to China early.
But at least not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow.
"The future is quite long..."
She murmured and stretched out her little finger, and her fingertip lightly touched the word "sister" in "murdered brother-in-law".
Without [sister], [brother-in-law] has become [brother-in-law].
"Brother-in-law...Qin Ren..."
Even small oranges will grow.
Little Chengzi, who is growing slowly, did not let himself cry tonight.
——————————
The next day, Longhu Community.
Qin Ren, who only got up at noon, was in high spirits, and the depression he had been feeling for a whole week was finally completely dispelled by a good night's sleep.
When it comes to his behavior, the most obvious characteristic is that he sits down in front of the computer and starts playing games right after washing up.
For a social animal like him, this is really a state of extreme release.
"This...what is this?"
Yu Ling'er, who was seriously studying earth knowledge, stood up, temporarily put down the notebook where Yu Yourong had taken notes, and stood up from the sofa.
Wearing Hanfu, she was as graceful as a fairy, with her jade hands folded in front of her lower abdomen. Facing a computer she had never seen before, she showed the naive restraint of an ancient young woman. She carefully moved closer and moved closer, her eyes were very bright.
Soon he opened his eyes wide:
"She knows how to use a sword..."
"Hey, does it look good?"
Qin Ren smiled and showed a fairy flying with a sword under the control of the mouse.
This is a hero called Sword Fairy in "League of Legends". She uses the fairy-style "Legend of Jade Sword" series of skins. She looks like a female sword fairy.
Qin Ren casually showed off the hero's dance, lines, and laughter.
"You whip her with this whip and she laughs?" Yu Ling'er pointed at Qin Ren's mouse with bright eyes.
Qin Renxin said what the hell was that and then whipped him with a whip and still laughed?
Dou M, right?
"Computers are a bit complicated, but Yourong learned to surf the Internet pretty quickly. Do you want to try it?"
Regardless of whether you want to try it or not, Yu Yourong, who had already started steaming rice, poked his head out of the kitchen with a spoon and interrupted the two of them:
"Brother, there is no food at home."
"Okay, I'll buy it."
Qin Ren originally wanted to call Pixiu who was playing with his mobile phone on the bed, but Yu Yourong had already set his sights on the master:
"Master, you go too."
"Ah I…"
Yu Ling'er bit her red lips lightly. She didn't know what kind of activity "grocery shopping" was, and seemed a little at a loss. Yu Yourong became more determined after seeing it:
"Shopping for groceries is a basic life skill on earth. If you don't know how to learn, you can definitely do it if Master is so smart."
"Oh, okay, I'll go with you."
Since the apprentice said it is a life skill, Yu Ling'er, who has always taught the apprentice to repay kindness, must also serve as a role model.
Qin Ren thought it was okay. After all, Pixiu and Yu Ling'er once had a "master-servant" relationship. Now letting her go shopping with him while Luo Yao rests can be regarded as an indirect adjustment in the relationship between the two.
.
…
It was definitely not appropriate to wear Hanfu while shopping for groceries. Qin Ren went back to the bedroom to play with Pixiu, leaving the living room for Yu Ling'er to change clothes.
Off-white nine-point casual pants, gray T-shirt, and white shoes of the same style as Yu Yourong.
Yu Ling'er's regular clothes just arrived yesterday, and she just wore them out today to get used to them.
Just in line with the saying "High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods", Yu Ling'er's outfit is simple, but it is already dazzling when she wears it.
The bun is very reminiscent of the young wife standing at the entrance in the Japanese anime.
"We walked."
"Wait Qin Ren, Qin Ren wait!"
After opening the door, Luo Yao came over in a hurry.
"What for? Do you want to come together?"
"I'm going downstairs on the way. Tang Bobo made an appointment with me."
Luo Yao said, glanced at Yu Ling'er, and then raised her arm to Qin Ren:
"Hold my hand."
Qin Ren held his hand, and Luo Yao felt much stronger than the previous few days. It seemed that he slept soundly last night, and he must have been dreaming about Luo Yao.
————————
Some people sleep soundly, while others naturally suffer from insomnia.
Cheng Siyu was one of them, and there was another woman who was tossing and turning in bed for some reason until much of the night.
And this person, just after Qin Ren and Yu Ling'er went to the vegetable market, appeared at the gate of Longhu Community with a suitcase in one hand and an old vivo phone in the other.
