After staying in Beijing for a while, Shi Qi and Xiao Qi were about to leave for the army. Before leaving, Shu Rao helped them prepare their luggage and buy their tickets. Although the distance from Beijing to Q City is not close, according to Lou Yi
What Cheng means is that the two children are going to the army, not traveling. There is no need to take a plane, just a train, and it is a hard seat.
Neither Shi Qi nor Xiao Qi had any objections to this. The hard seats were hard seats and they were just for exercise. Besides, they were in the junior class. They didn’t care about flying. Their dream was to fly a plane!
The night before departure, Ye Xingchen, who was far away in Yunchuan, specifically called Shiqi, but she could only hear voices on the phone and could not see anyone. She felt very sad. Fortunately, Shiqi was smart and suggested, "
Mom, we can video chat!"
"That's right, why didn't I think of that?" Ye Xingchen felt that people who became mothers would indeed become stupid. She only missed her son and didn't even think of such a simple solution. "Okay, I'll turn on the computer and phone right away.
Hang up first!"
"Okay Mom, I'll be online soon." Shi Qi also said expectantly.
After Ye Xingchen put down the phone, she immediately turned on the computer. While waiting for it to start up, she walked to the door of the bathroom and knocked lightly, "Sisi, have you finished taking a shower? Mom wants to video chat with Shiqi,
Would you like to come over and take a look?"
Sisi had already taken a bath and was about to put on clothes when her hand movement suddenly slowed down a beat. The pink towel fell to the ground and became dirty instantly, but she didn't bother to pick it up and only replied in a panic, "I
It’s not healed yet, please wait a moment.”
"Well, then hurry up a little bit!"
"Okay, Mom." Sisi clutched the towel guiltily.
Ye Xingchen's footsteps gradually left, but Sisi still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief. Although several days had passed, she still couldn't recover from the forced kiss incident that day.
She was completely stunned when she was kissed. By the time she realized it, it was already too late. He was so forceful and rude, as if he deliberately caused her pain. Then she was very angry and raised her hands without thinking.
She gave him a slap in the face, and after he left, she stood blankly in the airport lobby. She couldn't tell whether she was feeling aggrieved or what, but she couldn't stop her tears.
Later, Su Yaya and Su Yan found her. Seeing how hard she cried, they thought she was crying because she was reluctant to leave Shi Qi, but in fact...she was crying not only because she was reluctant to let him go, but also something else.
She didn't know why he did that, she really didn't understand, not at all.
She has been thinking a lot these days, but she still can't figure it out. Although she and Qi Qi have not been on good terms since childhood, and he used to like to bully her, his tutoring is very strict and his character is not bad.
It's not so bad as to make fun of the girl's innocence, so he definitely kissed her on purpose, and he also warned her that she wouldn't be allowed to fall in love after he left!
Although she is not very smart in some aspects, she is not so stupid that she still doesn't understand it now. She thinks... he should like her!
But how is that possible? She is his sister!
Although they are not biological, it can't be like this. They have been siblings for so many years, and she is older than him!
How is it possible between them?
How could he like her?
Didn't he always hate weak girls like her?
Question marks popped up in Sisi's head, and she couldn't figure it out. But that kiss really happened, and she couldn't forget it no matter how hard she tried. She even dreamed about it often when she went to bed at night, and then she would dream about it again.
She woke up from her dream. When she woke up, she realized that the person who made her uneasy day and night had already left.
About that kiss, she didn't tell anyone, not even her best friend Su Yaya, and she didn't tell her parents. Although she had been worried about receiving love letters before, this time she didn't.
It was different from the previous one, because the object was changed to Shiqi, and to the younger brother who had grown up with him. She even watched him be born.
She didn't know how to deal with this tangled problem. Fortunately, he left, otherwise she wouldn't know how to face him. She hadn't called him in the past few days, but... before he went to the army, she really
Are you just going to ignore it?
Sisi was still struggling in the bathroom. Ye Xingchen and Qi Qi were already online in the study. Seeing that only her mother was on the other end of the network, Qi Qi couldn't help but feel disappointed, but she didn't say it directly. After chatting for a few words, she
Then he asked casually, "Where is Sisi?"
Ye Xingchen looked in the direction of the bathroom and said matter-of-factly, "I'm taking a shower, I'll be here soon."
Shiqi's heart suddenly became nervous. He endured it for several days, but finally couldn't help but find such an opportunity to see her. Although he didn't regret what he did that day, he was worried that it was true.
, he grew up with her, doesn’t he understand her yet? He must have cried incessantly after he left.
She often cried. When he was a child, he quarreled with her, which often made her half-dead and her eyes were red. But she always endured it and never burst into tears, let alone complained to her parents. She just kept silent and secretly
She burst into tears, so he thought that she would definitely hide and cry secretly this time.
When the plane arrived at the Capital Airport and landed, he couldn't wait to call her, even if he didn't speak and just listened to her voice, but he was afraid of hearing her choked cries, and even more afraid that she would say she hated him again.
That's why he endured it and endured it until now.
"Seventeen?" Ye Xingchen couldn't help but worry when he saw his son's distracted look, with obvious bruises under his eyes, "Have you not had a good rest these days? Are you acclimated?"
"No, no, I just stayed up all night playing games last night." Shi Qi said covertly.
But he didn't lie. In fact, he played games with Xiao Qi yesterday, and they had agreed to play all night. However, he was absent-minded and lost every game. He was always beaten by Xiao Qi within a few strokes.
It was so frustrating that Xiao Qi lost interest in the end. It was too unchallenging, so they left early.
But he didn't go to sleep immediately after the game was over, because he couldn't sleep at all. No matter whether he opened his eyes or closed his eyes, he was always thinking about someone and what she was doing at the same time? Is that right?
Like her, tossing and turning?
Ye Xingchen knew that he didn't approve of his son playing games, but he was going to the army soon and would have no chance to play in the future, so he didn't blame him and just told him, "Then you go to bed early tonight, because you have to catch the train tomorrow morning!
"
"Yeah." Seventeen nodded.
The mother and son chatted for a while. Although they were reluctant to leave, Ye Xingchen looked at the time and asked to end the video, "Okay Seventeen, it's getting late. You should go to bed quickly. Taking the train is very hard at night.
You must have a good rest.”
Seventeen's fingers holding the mouse tightened slightly. Should it end now? But Sisi hasn't come yet!
Ye Xingchen felt uncomfortable seeing her son's reluctance to leave, but she didn't think much about it, and she couldn't think of going to Sisi.
"Then let's chat for a while. You have to turn off your phone and go to bed at ten o'clock, okay?"
Seventeen nodded vigorously, his heart full of expectation.
"By the way, Mom, I went to the post office today and mailed something to you and dad. Please pay attention to the guard room in the next few days."
"What is it?" Ye Xingchen asked suspiciously.
"Uh...a little gift, you'll know after you receive it." Shi Qi said a little embarrassed.
In fact, he has not been idle since he came to Beijing, but went to work because he wanted to make some money and buy a gift for his parents before leaving, as well as the medical expenses for Sisi's last hospitalization.
He had to return it to Su Yaya and Su Yan, even though they had long said they didn't want it, and although his mother had already sent the money, it was different. He was not used to owing anyone, especially Su Yan's love.
Because his time was limited and he needed a lot of money, he took on five tutoring jobs at once, each for 2 hours and 50 yuan per hour. He worked from morning to night and almost didn't even have time to eat.
It's hard work, but worth it.
Of course, with his age and education, few people would believe in his ability, so he targeted it. He went to the gate of the aristocratic school and recommended himself to the parents who drove luxury cars, and the first day was free.
, it is considered applicable, and they will continue only when they are satisfied.
He promoted himself to 7 parents of students, and negotiated with 5 of them. The success rate was quite high, and everyone was satisfied with his performance on the first day, and they all hired him the next day.
After working for several days in a row, my income was stable, and two of his parents were very generous. At the end of the last tutoring session, they gave him a large tip.
After he made money, he immediately went to buy gifts. Thinking about it for so many years, he was quite unfilial and had never given his parents any serious gifts.
Compared with him, Sisi is much more well-behaved. She will send exquisite greeting cards to her mother every year on her birthday. She has never forgotten her father's birthday every four years. As for his birthday, she spares no effort and sends it every year.
The most expensive and best things she can afford.
So, in order to repay her, he also bought her a gift this time.
He had no experience in giving gifts to girls, and Sisi did not lack anything, so he shopped for a long time without choosing anything he liked. Later, he saw a girl passing by on the road holding a beautiful letter.
He had a sudden idea and rushed into the store decisively.
Mom and dad are afraid that he and Sisi will develop bad habits, and they don’t need them much on weekdays, so they haven’t bought them mobile phones yet. After he goes to the army, it will be even less likely to use the mobile phone, but if it is sent from home
She can still receive her letters, so he should buy her letter paper so that Sisi can write to him!
He guessed that the girl might not be willing, but he had already bought the letter paper, so she couldn't remain indifferent, right? So, it was a good idea to buy letter paper!
Therefore, he bought more than a dozen copies in one go. Each copy was thick and could be used for at least several years!
And he even bought envelopes and stamps, so she would have no excuse not to write!
Ha ha--
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how Sisi would write to him every time.
Ye Xingchen felt a little strange when she saw her son's expression on the screen, but she had no time to pursue it, and was only filled with emotion in her heart.
My son has grown up, become sensible, and knows that he cares about his parents!
"Thank you Shi Qi. No matter what gift it is, mom and dad will like it very much." Ye Xingchen said happily, but he did not forget to remind his son, "Did you buy it for your grandparents?"
"Yes, everyone in the family has given them to me." So he was almost out of money, but fortunately he had enough tutors.
Ye Xingchen smiled and nodded, feeling very comforted.
A few more minutes passed, and it was almost ten o'clock. Seventeen frequently glanced at the lower right corner of the computer, staring at the time.
Sisi lingered in the bathroom for a while, her heart full of contradictions. She didn't know whether she should go out or not.
Logically speaking, you should go out and see him. What should you say after you see him?
And mom is still here. What if something is wrong with them and mom notices something strange?
Just as he was hesitating, someone knocked on the bathroom door again, and Ye Xingchen came to urge again, "Sisi, haven't you washed yet? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no!" Sisi replied quickly, hurriedly opened the door, and explained, "I just accidentally dropped the towel on the floor. I washed it..."
"You're fine." Ye Xingchen finally felt relieved. She thought Sisi was feeling unwell again!
"Yeah." Sisi smiled shyly.
Ye Xingchen took his daughter's hand and said, "Come on, Shi Qi is still waiting online. You two siblings should say a few words."
Sisi hesitated in her steps, especially when she heard the word "sister and sister", she felt even more panicked.
But considering that this might be their only chance to meet in the next few years, and if she was too pushy, her mother would definitely be suspicious, so after thinking about it, she still followed up.
Sisi was finally mentally prepared to meet Shi Qi, but fate sometimes plays tricks on people, as if it was intentional, torturing each other.
Ye Xingchen and Sisi walked into the study one after another. Ye Xingchen was in front and Sisi followed behind her. When Ye Xingchen looked up at the computer, Shi Qi was still there, but when Sisi was about to walk over, the screen
The image on the top seventeen was "swiped" and grayed out, and then only the dialog box remained.
"Hey, why is it gone?" Ye Xingchen asked anxiously.
"Maybe...it was disconnected..." Sisi's tone sounded very depressed, but she didn't notice it herself.
Ye Xingchen immediately checked the network and found that it was really disconnected, and she still couldn't connect after reconnecting several times. She guessed that the cable was broken.
But it was so late, and she was too embarrassed to call with questions. She looked at the time and saw that it was already ten o'clock, and Seventeen had to catch a train tomorrow morning, so she had no choice but to leave it alone.
"Okay, Sisi, you should go to bed early and call Shi Qi tomorrow morning to say goodbye." Ye Xingchen said softly.
"Yeah." Sisi nodded dullly but didn't move her feet until she saw Ye Xingchen close the dialog box and then the computer, thinking that the culprit who had made her worried for several days was real this time.
She truly left, but she was not happy at all.
She stayed there for a long time, unable to react, dumbfounded.
"Sisi?" Ye Xingchen called her suspiciously.
"Oh, I'm going to bed right away. Good night, mom!" After saying that, she quickly turned around and went back to her room. After returning to the room, for some reason, her tears suddenly came out. She lay on the bed and hugged her
The pillow started to cry.
She should have come out earlier, she shouldn't have lingered in the bathroom, she really shouldn't have!
Even if she came out a minute earlier, even if she couldn't talk to him, she could at least take a look at him, and she wouldn't be as regretful as she is now.
In fact, she could call him immediately to explain, but...it seemed that there was no need.
Perhaps, this is God's will.
Sisi was feeling uncomfortable here, and Shiqi was not having a good time over there. He knew that the situation just now might have been a sudden disconnection, but he looked at the time and saw that it was already several minutes past ten. If she had wanted to come out to see him, she would have been there long ago.
coming.
So, in the final analysis, it's because she doesn't want to see him, right?
Thinking of this, Shi Qi's chest felt tight and even a little painful. He had to comfort himself that it was better not to see him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say a few words when he met. On the contrary, it would be worse. It would be better not to see him!
Moreover, he was actually very tangled and conflicted in his heart. He wanted to see her when they didn't meet her, but he was also afraid of the moment when they did. If he saw the look in her eyes that she hated him, he would be depressed to death!
He knew that it would only take two or three years for him to leave. He would have to rely on memories for the next few years. If the last thing she left for him was that she really hated his itchy teeth expression, then he would have gone to the army.
If you don’t feel at ease, your life will be over!
So, if you don’t see it, just see it. At least you won’t be disappointed if you don’t see it, there is still hope!
Anyway, he bought stationery, and there will be many opportunities for communication in the future!
Oops, luckily he bought the letter paper, he was so foresighted!
Shi Qi tried his best to comfort himself, and then fell asleep under the quilt, but that night, he slept restlessly and kept dreaming.
Sometimes I dreamed of her crying alone, sometimes I dreamed of her talking and laughing with other boys, and sometimes I dreamed of her falling into the river with him, and then the current separated them, drifting further and further away from each other.
All in all, Shi Qi slept very poorly the night before he left for the army, and Sisi did the same, just like their young hearts, youthful and surging.
