Chapter 477: Growing up together, growing old together
Chen Yunqi looked at the closed door, hesitated for two seconds, and finally plucked up the courage to press the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was Liu Yan. Although she was not as aged as Liang Zhirou, she still looked aloof and capable.
Jiang Nan's eyebrows were obviously inherited from her.
"Godmother, is my sister asleep?" he asked nervously, and then suddenly froze after speaking.
I thought to myself that I was afraid that I might have drunk my brain and went to someone else’s house late at night to express my feelings...
The look in his eyes at Liu Yan suddenly felt a little guilty.
What's the difference between this and sneaking over to serve someone else's cabbage?
Liu Yan gave him a confused look, "Didn't you go to dinner together? She hasn't come back yet."
Seeing Chen Yunqi standing there, she asked again: "Aren't you two together?"
Chen Yunqi didn't answer, turned around and ran outside. After running far away, he suddenly turned back and said breathlessly:
"Godmother, help me get an A4 paper."
Liu Yan:?
……
Jiang Nan has not gone home since the separation. She just sat on the swing in Yujing Garden and looked at the night sky quietly.
Now that I have grown so tall, I can no longer swing on a swing of this height. I can only support myself with my legs and gently swing back and forth.
It was here that she ran away from home for the first time, although that time she failed because she was brought home by her godfather...
But since then, every time she felt too stressed, she would come here to look at the stars and feel her own insignificance and loneliness. Occasionally, they are picked up by their godfather or younger brother.
"Sister, I can't seem to see the stars today."
A young boy's voice sounded in her ears. Jiang Nan looked up and saw her stupid brother standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile: "How old are you to run away from home?"
Jiang Nan couldn't help but kicked him lightly, then turned her face away and muttered: "I didn't run away from home."
She said this, but it was very hard for her to hold back her laughter. She didn't know when she became so easy to coax.
The smile on Chen Yunqi's face grew stronger, as if he was proud of being able to find her.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing Chen Yunqi wearing pajamas, she finally couldn't help but ask.
"I'm coming to find you."
Jiang Nan always felt that this person said nonsense, but just when she wanted to ask something else, this stupid brother turned around and stopped talking.
The atmosphere returned to silence again, with only the gentle chirping of insects surrounding my ears.
"Do you... have a girl you like?" After a long time, she finally summoned the courage to ask, her voice small and soft.
She felt that her test was obvious enough, and her stupid brother almost didn't respond at all.
Maybe, that person really isn't her.
As long as the stupid brother lives happily, everything else is not that important.
"Yes, yes." Chen Yunqi nodded slightly and continued to hold his back, not knowing what he was tinkering with. From time to time, he smacked his lips and scratched his head, looking a little distressed.
Although he had been mentally prepared just now, Jiang Nan was still stunned for a moment, tears welling up in his eyes, ready to come out.
She suddenly wiped away her tears again, stood up and shouted:
"I don't care who you like! If you don't stay with me, I...I will beat you to death!"
Why, it's obvious that no matter how long those girls like you, they can't outlast me; no matter how much they like you, they can't be even half better than me.
Jiang Nan couldn't figure it out.
Chen Yunqi has been by his side since he can remember.
This stupid brother may be a bit stupid, but he would take the initiative to chat with her and give her stars when she was sad since he was a child; he would spend all his pocket money to buy her snacks; he would work for most of the semester just to take care of her. She went to an amusement park once she could go out to play...
She didn't want to give it to another girl.
If you don’t want to, you just don’t want to...
"Wait, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
"Chen Yunqi! I'm not good enough for you..." Jiang Nan shouted with tears in her voice, "Why do you bully me like this?"
It's not like she could really beat him up for this kind of thing, this was just her plea that was infinitely close to the bottom line.
After a while, Jiang Nan wiped the corners of her eyes and her expression became calm again. She took a deep breath and smiled slightly: "How about you pretend that I didn't say anything just now? In the future, we will..."
Halfway through his words, the guy in front suddenly knelt down on one knee.
Chen Yunqi looked at the rose in his palm, which was barely a rose, and his expression became increasingly ugly.
Why didn't you learn it well when your father taught you how to fold it?
He couldn't regret it even now. He smiled awkwardly, looked up at the girl's moist eyes, and said seriously:
"Sister, I like you. I have always liked you since I first understood what liking is."
He nervously held the right hand of the girl in front of him.
"I grew up with you... and I want to grow old with you."
Jiang Nan was silent for a long time, then stretched out his hand to pull him up from his knees.
Unconsciously, her stupid brother was already taller than her. He is no longer the little man who wanted to help out when he was bullied.
Chen Yunqi looked at Jiang Nan's expressionless face and his eyes became a little confused.
"Sister, why didn't you answer..."
Before he could finish his words, the girl came up and blocked his mouth.
The late nights in early summer are sultry and restless.
The surrounding street lights went out right after midnight, and the garden was dark. Next to the swing, there were only two dark figures crowding closer and closer.
Feeling Chen Yunqi's rapid heartbeat and increasingly heavy breathing, Jiang Nan couldn't help but smile in her heart.
This stupid brother may still be shocked that his first kiss was not rushed.
But she knew it didn't count.
For their childhood sweethearts, whether it was holding hands or kissing, it was no longer the first time.
She could no longer remember the name of the anime. She only remembered that it was a midsummer afternoon, that the curtains were gently blown by the breeze, that the light escaped into the living room from time to time, and that Duoduo's leisurely calls were heard as the two watched TV. The pictures are clumsily copied.
In fact, her heart had been entrusted to her a long time ago, and this stupid brother only thought of redeeming the prize today.
After a long time, the two gradually separated.
Seeing water droplets falling on the soles of her feet, she couldn't help but look up, and then realized that these were her own tears.
"Sister, this is the first time I see you cry." Chen Yunqi stretched out his hand to wipe her tears.
"Shut up and forget about this, or I'll beat you to death."
As soon as Jiang Nan finished speaking, the mobile phone in her pocket rang. She took it to her face and looked at it.
Jiang Chao called.
I don't know if it was because she felt guilty that she had done something bad, but she was too embarrassed to answer. She just touched Chen Yunqi's cheek, waved to him and said:
"I'm going back."
……
The next morning.
Liang Zhirou was sitting at the front desk of the coffee shop, watching the video on her tablet, covering her mouth and smiling.
Chen Mo was just going to drink with Chen Muxue until she was drunk last night, so that she could test her drinking capacity so that she could know when she went out in the future.
Unexpectedly, the two of them almost fell into each other's arms after drinking and almost made Chen Lu angry and vomited blood.
Realizing that there were two people standing in front of her, she raised her head with her eyes bent, the smile from before still on her face.
Jiang Nan's expression was as twisted as ever before, and she gave Chen Yunqi a vicious look, and then said to her: "Fuck, godmother..."
The smile on Chen Yunqi's face was even bigger than hers: "Mom, this is your daughter-in-law!"
Bang!
The tablet suddenly fell to the ground.
Liang Zhirou didn't bother to talk and quickly picked it up and looked at it. The screen had been broken into a spider web.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Chen Yunqi asked curiously.
Liang Zhirou looked at the extinguished screen, pouted her lips aggrievedly, and said while holding back her tears:
"I'm happy, happy..."
