Chapter 10: get along

On that day, Zhou Yizhi asked her to book a plane ticket for herself, planning to go abroad to send him a bunch of daisies at the place where her brother was in the plane crash. The guilt and guilt in her heart almost made her breathless. She had many things to think about. Said to the older brother who gave so much for himself in the previous life, I want to apologize to him, and apologize for his waywardness and ignorance in those years. The most thing I want to say to him is that I will treat you well in the future, OK? Don't leave me, OK.
However, there is no chance.
Her heart was like a knife, and it was only then that she knew how important some things she had been neglected were to her.
Now I am in front of my 16-year-old brother who was a teenager. I don’t know what happened in the last life, let alone what price he paid for himself in the last life. If he knew, would he regret being so kind to him? , Do you never want to have anything to do with yourself anymore?
Zhou Yizhi didn't dare to think about it.
I didn't dare to let my brother know all that.
Fortunately, the brother in front of me is still a sixteen-year-old brother, and everything between myself and him has the opportunity to start again.
To change the relationship between the two people and stop repeating the same mistakes, Zhou Yizhi felt that he could no longer be reserved.
I must give my brother a strong dose.
She was sad, raised her eyes and looked at the older brother who looked a little pale because of the fever, and said, "I don't hate you."
"When you came, my brother the day before yesterday, I was a little cold at first because--"
"It's because my father said that Grandpa Xue from the patriarchal family has a grandson who wants to live in our house. Things are a bit rushed and I have no time to prepare... So when I first saw you, I was a little awkward and didn't dare to be too enthusiastic."
Seeing her elder brother fixedly looking at herself and meeting his dark eyes, Zhou Yizhi seemed to hear his heartbeat speed up a bit, she just felt that she had to say something more, and more.
While she said, she analyzed in her heart why the current brother felt that she hated him.
Sure enough, did I still behave too high on the day of the meeting?
When I saw my brother that day, I was full of emotions, but because of his personality, he was still cold and indifferent. My brother has tasted the world's coldness in the past three years. Would he think that he and those who heard about the Xue family’s family immediately closed their doors after the change? Like the missing relatives, repelling him because of what happened three years ago?
Zhou Yizhi immediately said to his brother nervously: "Although I listened to my father about the incident three years ago, it is not your responsibility for your brother. Don't get me wrong because of this."
Fearing that his brother would not believe it, Zhou Yizhi couldn't help but grabbed his sleeve and shook it gently.
"I don't hate you at all, I don't hate you at all, why do I hate you?" She sniffed, and gently said to her brother, "Brother, we will get along well in the future, can we?"
"...Moreover, I don't have any playmates." She said, "Actually, I am very happy that you can come to our house."
it's OK.
Not annoying at all.
Not annoying at all.
Very happy.
Each sentence fell on Xue Xi's heart, like a light splitting a dark cloud, causing his breathing to become slightly rapid.
He thought that even if it was a new life, the situation with the previous life would not change much.
She would still reject him, she would still be like her last life, and she would never look back at him.
And the reason why he came to Zhou's house in the same way was not to force anything, but just to stop her future destiny. Without him by her side, Cong You was followed by someone in the alley at the age of 18. That time, the car accident at the age of twenty, who would protect her.
So when some things in this life became different from the previous one, he naturally couldn't believe it-was she actually good to him, is it an illusion?
She obviously never knew it before, but now how...
...
But now, he definitely got the answer from her.
It's not an illusion, it's true.
She does not hate him in this life.
Not only did they relax, they also had a chance to let go of the past and start again.
After a new life, whether it was because of some changes, or maybe all of this was just another world in the dark, another world he had imagined to compensate him, he didn't want to go into it. He was like a treasure that had been sought since childhood and was suddenly placed in his hand, and the joy in his heart was no match for a moment.
He had a glimpse of some new hopes—this life could really be started from anew.
"Okay." Xue Xi said dumbly, and he fixedly looked at Zhou Yizhi.
The obsidian eyes had the meaning of resurgence in fragments.
It has been so long since rebirth, it seems that this moment is a new life.
...
The thunder has stopped, and the heavy rain is still crackling.
This night, although Zhou Yizhi returned to his room, there was no sleep. The moment she was lying in bed trying to be embraced by her brother, the corners of her mouth were involuntarily drawn up. It seemed as she expected, her brother remembered everything that happened in childhood, so she knew she was afraid of thunder.
And Xue Xi, who was separated by the two walls, also had his eyes open, with a little sparkle in his dark eyes. He raised his hand, touched the anti-fever sticker on his forehead, and glanced at the half glass of water poured by her on the bedside table. Although he still felt unreal, the dark cloud in his heart was slightly dissipated.
In this life, he saw a good start.
The next morning, Zhou Yizhi set five alarm clocks, so she didn’t overslept like the previous day. She got up early and put on clothes. It is estimated that her brother should sleep longer because of illness. She didn’t bother and went out first. Ran on the mountain.
After the heavy rain, the air in the yard was very fresh, but the temperature dropped by one degree.
Aunt He was wearing an apron and was busy in the kitchen. Seeing Zhou Yizhi returning from exercise outside the villa, she was surprised as if a thunder exploded above her head. She said to Zhou Yizhi, "Miss, why are you so early today and don't sleep much?"
Zhou Yizhi was sweating, with a ponytail, with a vigorous look, smiled at Aunt He, glanced at the breakfast Aunt He prepared, and told her: "Cook two more bowls of millet porridge."
Aunt He puzzled: "Miss never drinks millet porridge."
Zhou Yizhi pointed to the second floor, and said, "Brother Xue Xi has a fever, and a light meal will heal quickly."
"Oh." Aunt He finally digested the fact that Zhou Yizhi got up early in the morning, and then ushered in a thunder that was even more surprising to her-the young lady would actually care about others, she froze for a long time before she followed Zhou Yi's instructions. He went to make the millet porridge, and said to Zhou Yizhi: "Miss, you go to school, I will deliver it later."
"No, I asked for leave with my brother today. You can make it through, and I will serve it later." Zhou Yizhi said with a smile.
I have seen the fragile appearance of my brother when he had a fever last night, his handsome face, pale skin, red lips, slightly trembling eyelashes, and still holding people's hands to keep people from walking, Zhou Yizhi gave birth to something right. The possessiveness of one's own things comes from not wanting other people to see the attractive appearance of his teenage brother.
What if he is dreaming again, holding Aunt He's wrist tightly and not letting Aunt He go, thinking about it, the picture is too beautiful to see.
After giving instructions to Aunt He, Zhou Yizhi went to ask the housekeeper to ask for leave from the school.
The housekeeper was also the same as Aunt He, with an expression like seeing the sun coming out from the west.
Zhou Yizhi finished her breakfast and cooked the porridge. She served it upstairs on a silver tray.
The physical fitness of young people is always surprisingly stubborn. Although the fever last night all night, by this morning, the fever has completely gone. Xue Xi had already put on his school uniform and was about to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhou Yizhi who was about to knock.
He glanced at the porridge in Zhou Yizhi's hand and was slightly startled.
Zhou Yizhi raised his head and glanced at his brother. As usual, he pulled the zipper of his school uniform to the collarbone, meticulously, and burned all night last night, making him look slightly pale now, but his dark and dark eyes are still very energetic. , The younger brother was a head taller than her. Even though he was calm, the green and handsome youth still gurgled out from the long height and straight long legs all the time.
"Brother, good morning."
Once I was born and then I was ripe, I already said so much last night, the face that should have been lost is long gone, Zhou Yizhi is no longer reserved, and smiles at him: "You are still sick, you got up so early. What are you doing? I asked the butler to ask for leave for you."
Xue Xi looked at her smile.
"early."
Although it was confirmed last night that the memory of this life does not hate herself, and everything has a chance to start over, but she got her care early in the morning, Xue Xi still has a tight throat.
He brought the dinner plate in her hand with one hand, turned and placed it on the table, and subconsciously glanced at her finger, wondering if she was hot enough.
There were two chairs beside the table by the window. Zhou Yizhi sat down on one of them and Xue Xi sat down on the other. He took up the spoon and stared at the steaming millet porridge and side dishes. It seemed a little surprised, as if he was in a dream, and looked up at her.
"Ah, I made it by myself, brother, you can taste it." Zhou Yizhi said.
My brother seemed to be a little surprised, because the cold had not yet recovered, and with a little magnetic voice, he asked in a low voice, "You personally?"
Zhou Yizhi coughed. How could it be that she made it by herself, she would never do it, and she had never cooked in her previous life or in this life.
But the first bowl of porridge after recovering from a serious illness, how could she let go of this great opportunity to gain favorability? Her face was not red and heartbeat, and she said: "That's right."
Anyway, the 16-year-old brother just came to her house and didn't know that she could not cook at all.
Xue Xi glanced down at the porridge and then at her: "..."
I don't know if it is Zhou Yizhi's illusion. I just feel that my brother's eyes seem to have some uncontrollable smiles.
she was:……
What's the matter, what is my brother laughing? Is it that I am so pretty with sweat on his forehead after exercise? !
I was eating breakfast on the second floor, and a business car drove up on the mountainside over there. The fence of Zhou's house opened automatically. The shutter door of the second empty garage was raised and the car drove in. A tall man with a finely tailored suit got out of the car. Although he was middle-aged, the years didn't seem to leave too many marks on him. He didn't smile and walked straight to the door of the villa.
The butler who was calling in the living room saw the man enter and was shocked: "Sir, why are you back?!"
There are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, and this villa is always empty and unpopular. For at least three hundred and sixty-four days, there are only Zhou Yizhi and them.
Zhou Du and Jiang Yirong each have their own careers, and they are so busy that they rarely call back.
They even called the housekeeper directly for some things that needed to be explained, probably because they felt that if they called Zhou Yizhi, this daughter would talk about things in life, and this wasted their time. These butlers couldn't bear to tell Zhou Yizhi, who had been waiting for calls every day since he was a child, even he was a little bit distressed.
"I have something to come back temporarily." Zhou Du nodded slightly and handed the jacket to the housekeeper. He didn't intend to explain that the summit location happened to be in this city. He just came to the meeting and fetched a document by the way. He asked his assistant to come. Go to the study to fetch the documents, turn around and ask the housekeeper: "Has the Xue family picked it up?"
The butler quickly said: "I've received it, it's already settled."
Previously, Zhou Du and Jiang Yirong hadn't said that they would not come back during the New Year. Zhou Yizhi asked eagerly. The couple only said as much as possible. The loss in Zhou Yizhi's eyes, who hung up, was seen by the butler. Now it's finally hard to see that the husband is back. He and Aunt He are a little excited and hurriedly said: "Sir, you do it, I will call the lady down."
Zhou Du frowned and said, "No, I don't have time."
The butler couldn't help but pleaded: "Miss has been looking forward to your return with your wife. She misses you very much. Since you are here, can't you wait three minutes before leaving?"
"Right, right, right." Aunt He hurriedly said: "Miss took the provincial competition prize a while ago. The day before yesterday I thought you were coming back. She was overwhelmed with surprise. She secretly put the trophy on the coffee table. I hope you can watch it. Arrived, but then you did not come back, she was very sad..."
The assistant had already fetched the file. Zhou Du glanced at the two people, sat down on the sofa, and said lightly: "It's really been a long time since I saw it. Then let me remember, is she still sleeping?"
"No, no, Miss has already gotten up!" The butler said, turning around to urge Aunt He: "You go and call Miss."
Aunt He hurried upstairs to call Zhou Yizhi.
Xue Xi heard the voice outside, came down from the stairs and called out: "Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Du raised his head and glanced at the young man, his expression slowed down, and he said, "Sit down."
Although the Xue family had broken down and died, they did help the Zhou family back then.
Zhou Yizhi was in her room. She was about to take a shower, half of her clothes were taken off, and when she heard a knock on the door, she put on her clothes again and opened the door.
Aunt He looked very happy, and urged: "Miss, please pack up and go downstairs. Your husband has just returned, but he seems to be in a hurry. You can't wait too long. Go downstairs!"
Zhou Yi was stunned, her father came back suddenly? The week in the previous life came back only after two months. However, Zhou Yizhi did not pay much attention. After all, it was a new life. Most things should not change. However, it may be because of changes such as one less phone call that caused some changes in the weekly business. maybe.
"Oh." She went to the bathroom.
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Aunt He was a little stunned, and went in: "Miss, don't you go down quickly, Mr. has no time to wait."
"I want to take a shower first, and go for a run early in the morning. I feel a little sweaty and feel uncomfortable." Zhou Yizhi said.
Aunt He can understand that Zhou Yizhi doesn't want to behave badly in front of the strict husband, but-"What kind of bath are you going to take, miss, hurry up, Mr. will not wait for you later!"
Zhou Yizhi suddenly remembered that when he was five years old, the kid in the trunk was angrily complaining about her, because it was obvious that the kidnapper was her mother’s illegitimate meal, and the person who wanted revenge was her mother. Kidnapped so many children. In the end, in order to preserve her name and reputation, her parents did not show up yet, which caused the kidnappers to be completely angered, and all the children fell into panic.
A few emotional children kicked her with their feet, resenting her as the culprit.
She was scared, but didn't dare to cry, she could only shrink back, and then felt the blood dripping from the injured calf of another child.
The child looked at her with dark eyes, did not avoid it, but slightly moved away, let her lean over, and the two of them curled up in the corner together, and there was a place to shelter.
He stood in front of her, and the other children could no longer kick her.
At that time, five-year-old Zhou Yizhi always stubbornly believed that there must be a reason why his parents did not come to save themselves.
All the education she knows from the textbook is that her daughter is a caring little padded jacket, her father’s love is like a mountain, and her mother’s love is great.
They must have their difficulties.
But later I found out what could be the reason. After measuring her life, fame, and reputation, her parents felt that calling the police was the least loss.
She encountered this nightmare, and later the five-year-old things became vague to her. It was not until the previous life that her brother knew about the plane crash that she went to investigate and recalled the events of the year.
For this pair of her parents, she can't talk about resentment, but... in the last life she had been camping for the love of her parents, which led to her being and lost too many other things.
In this life, she never wanted to do this again.
She hurried off now, Zhou Du was afraid that she would still look at herself with critical eyes.
She picked up the bath towel and whispered: "I feel uncomfortable on my body. I'd better take a bath first. Aunt He, please let my father go in advance in a hurry. Don't wait for me.
Aunt He only felt that the young lady seemed to be a different person. She was stunned and had to go downstairs.
She repeated Zhou Yizhi's words.
In the living room, Zhou Du, who was talking to Xue Xi for a few words, greeted his Xue family's situation in an alienated manner. Hearing this, he was stunned.
When did he come back, his daughter didn't run downstairs excitedly, wishing to cling to his legs and let him stay for a while, but what happened today?
From Aunt He's words, she actually heard a bit of her indifference.
