The underarms of the coat were threadbare, which meant that as long as you raised your arms a little, the embarrassing scene would be visible to others.
Duan Yining, who was already particularly concerned about this kind of thing, happened to meet Zhao Xuanying who was returning home from shopping. After briefly explaining the situation, she took the initiative to invite Duan Yining to come to her home first, and after a little sewing, she went to attend the meeting with friends.
Child's first birthday party.
Although it is okay to just go home and change, the coat Duan Yining wore today is also particularly meaningful.
Unlike Lin Nianwei, who only has one friend, Duan Yining, who had a good temper during school, had many close friends.
It's just that her friends have already married and started families, but she is still alone.
The coat she was wearing was given to her by a friend when she was invited to play some time ago. When the child's first birthday party was held, a circle of friends would all wear the same coat.
Because of this, Duan Yining looked very distressed after her clothes were damaged. After getting off the bus, she looked sad and met Zhao Xuanying who was returning home from shopping for groceries.
Having been dependent on her grandmother since she was a child, Zhao Xuanying has long developed a superb repairing skills.
Who would have thought that after returning home, they would find that their sewing kit was missing and that grandma had left early in the morning. She didn’t know who to go to if she wanted to ask.
So I thought of going to a clothes repair shop nearby downstairs and asking the shopkeeper to help me repair it.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhu Shushu and Zhou Qing standing outside.
After hearing this reason, Zhu Shushu breathed a sigh of relief and thought of something. She lowered her head and rummaged through the schoolbag she had brought, and then handed Zhao Xuanying a key.
He muttered in his mouth.
"My brother should have it at home. I seemed to have seen it under the coffee table last time."
"Really? Then there's no need to go to the store!"
Zhao Xuanying was a little surprised by Zhu Shushu's words. After regaining consciousness, she took the key with a smile, and then walked two steps to the opposite door.
Duan Yining, who was standing inside the house, looked at Zhao Xuanying who picked up the key and opened the door...
"Is your brother her neighbor?"
"Well, teacher, don't you know?"
"have no idea."
Shaking his head and looking at Zhu Shushu standing aside, the curious Duan Yining couldn't help but ask one more question.
"What's your brother's name?"
"Liu Weicheng, you probably don't know the teacher, right?"
"Um?!"
The movement was a bit loud, and Zhu Shushu and Zhou Qing couldn't help but look over, seeing Duan Yining's eyes widened with surprise.
After a while, Zhu Shushu leaned over and asked softly.
"you know?"
"Of course, he is your brother!"
"..."
"I haven't seen him for a long time. I haven't seen him much since he stopped coming to the cafeteria."
The tone of voice was not very familiar, which made Zhu Shushu at the side see clearly.
She has always felt that her cousin is a talent to some extent, and none of the women she knows around are ordinary-looking women. Now that she thinks about it carefully, she is a single mother raising a child alone, and a beautiful and sunny high school girl.
A student, a young lady from a privileged family, and a very talented school teacher...
She has clear advantages and disadvantages, and a distinct personality. Listening to the words of the teacher Duan Yining in front of her, she and her brother are old acquaintances.
Duan Yining, who was lamenting how small the world is, didn't notice Zhu Shushu's observation on the side. After a while, she suddenly realized something and saw that Zhao Xuanying had already entered the house to look for a sewing kit...
The smile on his face solidified little by little.
"But... why does Zhao Xuanying seem to be very familiar with your brother's house? As a neighbor, you don't often go in and out of your brother's house, right?!"
"..."
"I can't pretend I haven't seen this. How can a child who is still in school get so close to young men in society!"
Duan Yining suddenly became alert. After all, she knew something about her friend Lin Nianwei. She also knew that Liu Weicheng was her good friend's boyfriend.
Nowadays, a student in my class and my best friend's boyfriend are neighbors, and judging from the skillful movements of changing shoes when entering the door, it doesn't look like it is the first time to visit each other's house.
Although Duan Yining has never been in love, she still understands the most basic things between men and women.
As for pure friendship between men and women...she had never thought about the possibility.
Afraid that Zhao Xuanying would do something wrong unknowingly, Duan Yining started chattering non-stop after the other party took out the sewing kit from Liu Weicheng's home.
And this nervous look was caught in Zhu Shushu's eyes, which deepened her suspicion.
Sure enough... this person is also interested in his elder brother.
Sighing at the strangeness of the world, Zhu Shushu followed everyone into the room, while Zhao Xuanying did not explain too much, but skillfully used needle and thread to repair the damaged parts of the clothes from the inside.
Looking from the outside now, there is no sign of any damage to this dress.
The time was quite urgent, and Duan Yining was in a hurry to prepare to leave. There were more words that she could not say under the current circumstances. Therefore, before saying goodbye, she specially asked Zhao Xuanying to go to the office to find her on Monday.
It wasn't until her figure disappeared completely that Zhao Xuanying reluctantly closed the door and returned home.
As soon as she turned around, she met the eyes of Zhu Shushu who was staring at her. Looking at the posture of the other person staring at her intently, Zhao Xuanying, who had been scolded by Duan Yining for a long time and felt physically and mentally exhausted, asked doubtfully.
"Why do you keep staring at me?"
"That person just now..."
"Teacher Duan? What happened to her?"
"She... also likes my brother?"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Qing, who had been staying by the side in confusion, immediately widened his eyes and subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands in surprise.
Their eyes were also looking back and forth between the two people who were looking at each other.
Zhao Xuanying, who came back to her senses, asked with a wry smile.
"Why do you think so?"
"She seemed very nervous just now, right after you entered my brother's room..."
"That's because her good friend also knows your brother."
"Ah?! Liu Weicheng is so good at seducing people?!"
The moment of surprise caused Zhu Shushu to call her cousin by his first name.
In order to prevent the other party from guessing too much, Zhao Xuanying reluctantly began to explain.
When she found out that Duan Yining's friend just now was Lin Nianwei, Zhu Shushu's heart dropped.
The competition between Zhao Xuanying and Lin Nianwei is already fierce enough, but the key is the sudden addition of such a heavyweight player. Even Zhao Xuanying and Zhu Shushu, who they are optimistic about, will feel that the chance of winning is not good.
The last time she came to see the other party, Zhu Shushu hid in the bathroom because she was too talkative, thinking about what kind of excuse she should find to comfort the other party.
Who would have thought that when she came out, she would see Zhao Xuanying going to the opposite door to find her brother.
She was hiding behind the door and could see clearly...
Although she never pointed it out in person, after witnessing Zhao Xuanying taking such initiative, in Zhu Shushu's heart, she had become her sister-in-law.
And it's a legitimate one. This chapter has been completed!
