Chapter 24:

Everyone did not understand the meaning of those four words, waiting for his explanation.
He glanced at the little girl next to her with her neck up, glanced open, her eyes drooping slightly, "I mean... Jiang Shaowen is not a girlfriend."
After waiting for a long time, it turned out to be a complaint.
Li Shaozhou clapped the table and laughed, "Hahaha, Brother Yi, is this a cold joke?"
Shi Yi didn't laugh, and put the phone away, "Stop playing."
From the side came the cute voice of the little girl, "I'm done."
Jiang Mi'er also put down the dishes and chopsticks, "I'm full too."
Yu Zhi wiped his mouth and asked, "Will you go back to the game city next?"
Jiang Mier raised his hand excitedly, "Of course, I haven't had a battle with Li Shaozhou yet!"
The four of them discussed it and decided to go back and play for a while.
Jiang Mier and Li Shaozhou went straight to the "decisive battle" area, and Shi Yi took Yu Zhi directly to a row of claw machines.
"Let's play with this." He thinks girls like to clip dolls.
"This clip can't come out." In order to make a profit, the store set up the machine. She tried it twice and really couldn't get it out.
"try again."
Shi Yi encouraged her.
Yu Zhi weighed the game coins in the basket, walked to the machine, took two coins and put them into the machine, and started to operate the remote control. The claws of the machine hook the doll up, but when the doll is about to aim at the exit, the machine will always loosen automatically.
She rushed to Shiyi helplessly and waved her hand, "Look, holding a doll is a waste of game currency."
Shi Yi grabbed two game coins and continued to invest, and said, "Try again."
I voted, so I can only continue to catch it.
Yu Zhi took a deep breath and held the remote control switch.
Just as she started to move her paws, a touch of warmth spread over the back of her hand.
At this time, her hands were completely disobedient, as if they were too soft to be boneless.
"despair--"
Pressing down at the right time, the paw grabbed the doll's body, and when it moved to the exit, the paw loosened, and the doll fell on the transparent frame and wobbled.
The two of them had to lock the doll tightly, and saw that it fell into the exit after swinging.
"Wow! I caught it!"
I have clipped it several times without responding, and Shi Yi was so accurate the first time he started, and his admiration for him grew a little bit more in his heart.
"Brother is great!" This time he praised from the heart without thinking.
The staff took out the doll and handed it to Yu Zhiyi, which was a pink and white rabbit.
Shi Yi squeezed the soft body of the rabbit with his fingers, feeling that the fabric of the doll was very comfortable.
"like very much?"
"Hmm, the doll is very cute!" She held the doll tightly with her hands.
When I was young, my parents were not there, and the elderly were more willing to spend money on real things, so basically they would not buy her toys specially. It's like a doll... there is no such thing.
When I grow up, I don’t even remember to buy these.
When I moved into the dormitory, I saw a big doll on the bed of my roommate. She liked it very much, but she just hid her love in her heart and would not deliberately say it.
Even a small doll can make her happy.
Seeing that she was loving the doll, Shi Yi looked up at the doll machine around her, and said, "If you like it, put more of it."
The little girl lifted her head, her tone was relaxed and cheerful, "Brother help me clip it."
He answered without hesitation: "Okay."
In the end, Li Shaozhou lost to Jiang Mi'er because of carelessness, and Shi Yi got several dolls for her with his brain and hands-on ability.
Li Shaozhou and Jiang Mi'er came out for a decisive battle. Seeing that both of them were holding dolls in their hands, they were so shocked that their jaws were about to fall. "You...have robbed the crane?"
"Brother did it by his ability!" Yu Zhi defended.
Li Shaozhou couldn't believe it, "Is there a bug in the crane machine today?"
He didn't believe in this evil, ran to the claw machine and stuffed the only two game coins in his hand.
A wave of operations was as fierce as a tiger, and finally caught a lonely...
Looking at Shi Yi again, he felt insulted.
"Tsk tusk tusk." Jiang Mier took two steps forward and applauded him, "Although you are not good at it, I admire your courage to fight repeatedly."
Seeing their "poor" identities, the two divided the dolls in their hands to Jiang Mier and Li Shaozhou.
Shi Yi and Yu Zhi returned home with a load, and Shi Yi directly put all the dolls on her bed.
"Brother, don't you keep any of them?" Yu Zhi said casually as soon as he sat on the side of the bed and played with the doll, "This is a doll we clipped by ourselves, which is different from what we bought."
"So..." He heard that sentence in his heart, and didn't refuse it anymore.
"Then I choose one myself?"
"Okay, brother, which one do you want?" Shi Yi had caught it. No matter which one he wants, she will hand it over without hesitation.
The fingers hanging on his side twitched slightly. He pointed at the pile of dolls, turned his fingers in two small circles, and finally designated the pink-white little rabbit.
Yu Zhiyi thought he had misunderstood at first, so he asked with uncertainty, "Brother, do you want this little rabbit?"
"Yeah." He nodded slightly.
"But this is pink..." Yu Zhiyi was a little puzzled. She was not reluctant, but felt that the white rabbit in the room with obvious boyish style like Shi Yi might be a bit contrary.
"Didn't you let me choose? Why, reluctant?"
"No!" She didn't want to be wronged, and quickly handed the little rabbit out.
Shi Yi grabbed the little bunny's ears, which was regarded as putting the little bunny in his pocket.
Ning Suya cleaned the room and saw a little bunny doll with a girlish heart next to her son's pillow. She thought it was something Yu Zhiyi, and kindly sent it back to Yu Zhiyi's bedroom.
Shi Yi looked for the little rabbit in a circle in the room, and when he pushed open the door of the next room, he saw the little rabbit lying brightly on the bed.
He walked over and picked up the rabbit, "Yu Zhiyi, are you stealing my little rabbit?"
Yu Zhiyi who just returned to the room: "..."
Wrong!
"I didn't steal it. I saw it on the bed as soon as I came in." She quickly defended herself, shaking her head like a rattle.
Shi Yi laughed out loud.
Of course he wouldn't think she took it secretly, but just teasing her.
After Ning Suya learned about this, the expression on her face was very complicated.
When I was a child, I caught a rabbit at home and prepared to eat it. Shi Yi felt that the rabbit had a strong smell, which created a psychological shadow. He said that he hated rabbits, and later he really felt that he hated them.
"Don't you hate rabbits?" Now put a rabbit doll next to the pillow, so you are not afraid of nightmares?
"This is just a toy."
"Son, it's okay for you to like dolls, but you are a bunny and pink, which is too weird."
"Mom, it's not as complicated as you thought." He waved his hand and put the rabbit back, without explanation.
Later, Ning Suya learned from Yu Zhi that it was the first one that Shi Yi caught.
But apart from Shi Yi himself, no one would think of the deeper meaning.
In January, Yu Zhiyi's 15th birthday is approaching.
On her birthday, Shi Yi told her in the morning, "Come home with me after school this afternoon."
Yu Zhi thought about it, probably to celebrate her birthday.
Qiao Lezhi would still give her a small gift. Jiang Mier, who was in the dormitory, knew about it with Wen Listening, and discussed the afternoon to buy something for her to celebrate.
"Sorry, I'm going home today." She would definitely choose Geng Shiyi for her birthday together.
The roommates expressed their understanding and decided to move the celebration to tomorrow.
At noon, the sky began to become gloomy, and in the second class in the afternoon, there was a rustling rain outside the classroom.
The rain became bigger and smaller for a while, and it didn't stop until the third class was over.
Some students in the class were upset that they didn't bring an umbrella.
At this time, the small colorful umbrella that Yu Zhi carried with him came in handy.
Li Shaozhou dangled in the classroom for a while, unable to stay. The brother who lives in the school dormitory told him to go downstairs and wait, and send an extra umbrella later.
When Li Shaozhou walked down the stairs, he saw the diagonal rain drifting into the corridor, with wet edges.
He poked his arms, counting the time, and turned to the toilet on the far side.
After a while, he came out of the toilet, took two steps, and turned around and met a man holding a colorful umbrella.
He looked at this man a little familiar, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Shi Yi.
Seeing Shi Yi holding a colorful umbrella full of girlish hearts, Li Shaozhou laughed directly and joked: "Brother Yi, I didn't see it, you are so girlish, haha..."
But when he saw Yu Zhi ran out and got under the colorful umbrella, Li Shaozhou's smile froze on his face, feeling that the cold rain outside was directly patted on his face.
Yu Zhiyi just went to the toilet, so Shi Yi just stood here waiting for her.
When she came back to see one more person, she casually asked: "Hey, Li Shaozhou, don't you have an umbrella?"
Li Shaozhou was about to answer, but was preempted by Shi Yi.
"He likes rainy days, don't worry about him." As soon as the voice fell, he directly took the little girl's shoulders, and the two shared an umbrella and left.
"Brother, will I have a cake this year?"
"Do you need to worry about this kind of thing? In which year did you arrange it?"
She puffed her mouth, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose.
When I was in a good mood, I couldn't help but say a few more words, shaking my heart out, "My grandmother would boil eggs for me on my birthday."
Yu Zhi remembered the eggs his grandma had boiled for her. That was the simplest and most sincere blessing.
But this year’s birthday is different from previous years. Her birthday falls on Wednesday, so she can’t go back to town to see her grandma as she wants.
She thought, call grandma after school.
"Don't worry, what we have in previous years will only be more, not less."
At first, Yu Zhiyi didn't understand the true meaning of the sentence, until after entering the door, he saw his grandmother sitting on the sofa in the living room with Aunt Ning.
"Grandma!" She walked over with joy.
When she knew the truth about her grandma's departure, she couldn't let it go, but she also felt guilty that she could not take care of the sick old man, but now everything is fine.
This birthday represents a new turning point in her life.
Maybe it was for fairness that God let her meet Shi Yi and make up for her missing feelings from her parents.
Yu Zhi received several small gifts today and unpacked them and put them in the right place.
She thought, her friend's blessing was received, grandma's eggs were eaten, and the cake from Shi's family was also eaten, and there was still... Shi Yi's gift!
It's not that she has to ask Shi Yi for gifts, but since birth, they have spent 15 birthdays together. The gifts formed a tacit understanding, and Shi Yi never disappointed her every time she gave them, so she Will look forward to that gift.
Grandma came to the city alone, and it was too late to leave. Yu Zhiyi chatted with her, and Ning Suya agreed with the elderly staying overnight.
The old man went to bed early and rested in her bedroom first.
Shi Yi stood at the door and silently gestured to her.
Yu Zhi closed the door gently, and the two turned and entered the next bedroom—Shi Yi's room.
Stepping into the door, the little girl's eyes rolled around the room.
On the table? Bed? Or something else?
She is familiar with the layout of Shi Yi's room, and it seems that there is no such thing as "a gift".
"What are you looking for?"
When the little girl was searching for the gift with her eyes, she was caught right away!
She hugged slightly, straightened her back with a rather guilty conscience, stared at the front without blinking, and didn't dare to glance at it again.
Shi Yi volunteered, "Let me guess, are you thinking, what gift will I give?"
"No..." She embarrassed to admit.
Shi Yi raised his eyebrows, nodded and said: "It's not that good, I just want to tell you that I have no preparations this year."
The little girl's eyes widened suddenly, as if she couldn't believe it.
Shi Yi shook his head and sighed, "Oh, I have been busy with my studies recently, and I don't have time to go shopping on the street. Even the cakes are brought back by my mother."
It sounds like this.
But where does Yu Zhiyi blame him for his negligence? Instead, he began to comfort him, "It's okay, brother, I don't really want gifts."
Shi Yi lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders twice.
Yu Zhiyi felt that something was wrong, she tilted her neck and looked at it, and the person finally couldn't help laughing.
Only then did she realize that she was being fooled, as if her own thoughts were not hidden in front of him, and she was really embarrassed.
The little girl was at a loss, and she didn't know how she reached out her hand to cover Shi Yi's mouth, her soft voice pretending to be a vicious threat, "Don't laugh anymore!"
He couldn't help it even more.
But when he moved, his thin lips touched the palm of the girl's hand, soft and oozing with heating, making his heart rhythm chaotic.
Realizing something, he quickly took a step back and hit the edge of the desk behind.
Yu Zhi looked at him unclearly, still thinking about how he was being teased.
She was sure that Shi Yi had prepared a gift. She was bold and stretched out her hand directly, "So brother should hand in the gifts one by one now, right?"
"I'm really not prepared." He still insisted on this.
"That won't work. I gave you gifts on your birthday." Shi Yi is more than three months older than her. She must give gifts every year.
"Hmm..." He laughed and said, "Well, I will give you a good thing."
"what?"
He turned to open the drawer and took out a small rectangular box from it.
There is no special decoration in the small box, white four water chestnuts, I don't know what's in it.
Shi Yi handed her the small box, "open it and have a look."
The box is separated up and down, pinch your fingers on both sides, pull up and down respectively, and the box opens.
On the top floor is a white mobile phone.
She was shocked, but she did not take out the phone.
Yu Zhi was dull for a while, and asked tentatively: "Can I not have this?"
"Why, don't you like it?" Shi Yi frowned when she didn't expect her to react this way.
"Mobile phones... are expensive. I don't need a mobile phone for school now. It's a waste of money to buy it." She bit her lower lip lightly and continued: "Should this kind of thing be returned?"
Shi Yi temporarily closed his eyes and sighed softly.
I was worried about this.
"You forgot, I will make money on my own." He took part in the provincial competition and got a prize of three thousand yuan. At that time, he thought about the gift for her.
Just give her all the good things within the scope of her ability.
Yu Zhi shook his head and refused to accept, "My brother is always spending money for me..."
When I thought of this, a sour bubble appeared in my heart.
Just think of it, Shi Yi always treats her nicely without asking for anything in return. He has done so many things for her and paid so many things.
Time, energy, money, and even other things.
She didn't understand, a little girl who was abandoned by her parents really deserves such a good person, is it treated like this?
She is not pessimistic, but sometimes feels that everything is too good to be true.
Shi Yi touched her chin, lifted her small face, and checked her eyes, "You won't cry?"
She shook her head, tried hard not to let the tears come out, and whispered: "I just feel that my brother is so pitiful. He has been the best and most dazzling existence since childhood, but it has brought me this little trouble."
"I would rather my brother forget my birthday than give such an expensive gift."
The man sighed, touched her head, and patiently coaxed: "If I really forgot your birthday, you might have to cry all night."
"I won't cry..." The little mouth squashed, but fortunately no tears shed.
Shi Yi directly took the phone out of the box, held it with one hand, and stuffed it into the palm of her hand, "Moreover, I am not making unselfish efforts without asking for a return. I am investing."
"investment?"
Treat her well, is this called investment?
"When you grow up, you will always ask for something in return."
"What if I grow up and don't have any abilities? Then don't you die." Such smart Shi Yi invested in her? Is it too uneconomical? She doesn't even believe in herself.
"No." Shi Yi was extra firm and smiled: "As long as you stay by my side, I won't lose."

On the birthday, the result of accepting gifts and not accepting gifts, of course, was half coaxed and half deceived by Shi Yi and accepted.
She has never used a mobile phone, but she can get used to it quickly when she plays with Shiyi's mobile phone.
Shi Yi threw her mobile phone to her, "Find someone you might contact in peacetime, and store the number in. If I don't have it here, I will ask again."
Yu Zhi thought about it, and directly entered a few numbers.
She remembered that Shi Yi's, grandma's, including Aunt Ning and Uncle Shi's phone numbers were all memorized, and they could be entered directly.
Because Shi Yi is the monitor of the class, she also saved the contact information of several classmates, so she also saved Qiao Lezhi, Li Shaozhou and Jiang Mi'er's.
Shi Yi turned his head and glanced at her remarks, and reminded: "It is best not to store the name directly in the contact information. Although the chance is very small, it may be used by someone who wants to change it to a name or only you know the meaning."
"Oh oh." She was taught and changed her grandmother's name.
As for Shi Yi, she saw the word "Eleven" when she was typing, and she thought carefully, "Brother, what do you think I gave you a note on eleven? So no one else knows it is you, only I know !"
"Eleven..." He thought for a while, shook his head, "This number is not very good."
"Well then, I will write your name."
When she was about to start typing, Shi Yi suddenly stretched out his hand to block it and took the phone from her hand.
Yu Zhiyi didn't know why.
Shi Yi got the phone, manipulated it skillfully on the screen, and handed it back to her.
Yu Zhi looked down, and the original contact remarks had the words "A thirteen" written on it.
"What does A thirteen mean?"
"Begin with the letter A."
"I know this, but what does thirteen mean?"
"Think about it yourself." He didn't directly explain the answer.
Playing with his cell phone, Yu Zhi quietly opened the web browser and searched for the meaning of "Contact Remarks 13".
In Western countries, thirteen is an inauspicious number, representing evil, demons, diseases, and disasters. They are all bad symbols.
But in China, thirteen is an auspicious and noble number.
Baidu's answer explained it like this:
Twelve pictures for "friends", twelve pictures for "lovers" and twelve pictures for "family".
One less painting is a pity, one more painting is—
preference.
—
The roommates found out that she had a mobile phone, which was a new model. They were very envious. "One by one, your phone is so beautiful. I remember when I was watching variety shows, I was still advertising this phone."
"Did your parents buy this for you? I am envious." Jiang Mi'er didn't know her family situation, nor did she know about her parents. At their current stage, they must be very close people who can think of giving such an expensive gift.
It was too late when Qiao Lezhi wanted to stop. It's about Yu Zhiyi's family, so she is not easy to speak.
Yu Zhi tightened his fingers and shook his head, "No."
"Ah? Who gave it to you?" Jiang Mier was curious.
"Brother gave it."
"Shi Yi? Shi Yi gave you your phone?"
"Ok."
"Wow, Shi Yi is kind to you too!" Jiang Mier could not help applauding, praising this enviable sibling relationship. "The only regret is that my mother didn't give birth to me with a brother, maybe I can do it too. Experience the joy of being a sister being spoiled by your brother."
Qiao Lezhi poured herself a glass of water, learned to drink tea and held up the water glass, and added brightly: "Shi Yi is not one of her own brothers, or if you go back and ask your mother, the neighbor next door had Brother Zhuma didn’t play well or anything.

"Ah! When you say that, then I'm more worried..."
Not her own brother can spoil her to this point, wouldn't it be so enviable!
At this time, the sense of existence in the dormitory is the weakest, and the quietest person who usually hears the language chuckles, "He should like you."
The author has something to say: Brother Yi: I am investing.
Luo Luo: Talking about people!
Brother Yi: I'm adopting a daughter-in-law~
