The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 3: The Infatuated Sister vs. the Vengeful Brother (3)
The alley at night was at its busiest. Countless men and women sat at low tables, eating various barbecues and drinking a dozen beers, and then another night was spent.
Shi Yi, who was wearing a blue down jacket over her pajamas, went out with a handful of octopus skewers in her left hand and a large glass of sour plum juice in her right hand. She followed the crowd and moved forward.
Behind her, Ning Chenyu looked at the fruit platter and a large box of handmade yogurt in his hands, and was a little speechless. They had agreed to go out to eat together, but now he was just a follower who had to carry things.
"Brother, hurry up, let's go to that stall. There are so many people queuing up, the roujiamo must be delicious." Shi Yi finished the remaining octopus skewers in a few bites, freed her hand to grab Ning Chenyu's sleeve, and squeezed to the front of the crowd.
"Slow down, slow down." Ning Chenyu transferred the yogurt to his other hand and protected her with his free hand.
There were already a lot of people at the night market, shoulder to shoulder, and now she was trying hard to squeeze forward. What if she got lost?
In the crowded crowd, physical contact was inevitable. Shi Yi simply hugged his arm, and the two of them walked forward sticking to each other.
They finally moved to the Roujiamo stall, but before it was their turn, they were told that today's portion had been sold out.
Shi Yi was inevitably a little frustrated, and Ning Chenyu also realized the "intimacy" between himself and his sister, pretending to tidy up his clothes and prepare to pull his hand back.
"Brother, I'm full, let's go back." Shi Yi was a little uninterested because he didn't get his favorite Roujiamo in line, and hugged his arm even tighter.
Ning Chenyu looked at her puffy little face, and thought that she was two years younger than him. His heart softened for some reason, and he said in a gentle tone: "There is a very famous Roujiamo at the alley on the east side. It should not be closed at this time."
"Really?" Shi Yi pulled his arm and jumped up happily, "Then let's go now. Otherwise, it will be gone later."
Ning Chenyu was a little unaccustomed to this distance, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but because Shi Yi was a little short, he ended up hugging her neck.
Shi Yi pretended not to know his true intentions, turned her face away and looked at him with soft eyes, "Brother is the best, I like you the most."
Appropriate exaggeration of gratitude can increase the intimacy between people.
Ning Chenyu was dazzled by the admiration in her eyes, and was stunned for a moment.
He thought, how could there be someone in the world with such bright and innocent eyes.
So he gave up "struggling".
And Shi Yi, who really bought Roujiamo at the alley on the east side, couldn't be happier. She always felt that Roujiamo was her favorite food.
"Brother, you should have a bite too." Sharing delicious food together can also increase the intimacy between each other.
"Eat it yourself." Ning Chenyu is not used to eating with others.
"Take a bite. It's really delicious. If I had enough money, I would have bought you one." Shi Yi deliberately turned the meat out and tempted him, "Just a bite, just a small bite. You didn't eat anything before, you must be hungry." You
only know I didn't eat now? ! Ning Chenyu looked at her with a little resentment in his eyes.
Invisibly, he didn't know that the distance between him and Shi Yi had been shortened.
"Brother, just a bite, it's really delicious, I'm not lying to you at all." Shi Yi continued to coax him.
In her opinion, the boy in front of her was no different from other boys. They all need admiration, care, companionship, and love.
"No." Ning Chenyu glanced at the Roujiamo in her hand and turned his head away awkwardly.
"But, brother, I still want to eat fruit and drink yogurt. I can't eat anymore." Shi Yi decided to "please" him with the Roujiamo she had taken a bite of.
"Really can't eat anymore?" Ning Chenyu looked at her with some suspicion.
Before that, seeing her eating so happily, it was obvious that she was not satisfied.
"I really can't eat anymore." Shi Yi reluctantly handed the Roujiamo to him, "Brother, if you mind that I have bitten it, just pick out the part I have eaten."
In order to prove that she really couldn't eat Roujiamo anymore, Shi Yi quickly pulled the fruit platter in his hand and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Ning Chenyu looked at the Roujiamo in his hand. There was a small arc-shaped notch on it, which was the mark that the "sister" beside him had just bitten it. He picked up the Roujiamo and put it to his mouth. It was not as resistant as he imagined.
He took a light bite, and the tender meat and green pepper bloomed in his mouth, and his taste buds were instantly awakened.
It was really delicious. He nodded slightly to show his approval.
"Brother, try this." Shi Yi tasted herself with a bad taste and stuffed the fruit cube that she didn't like with a bland taste into his mouth.
Ning Chenyu thought she had eaten something delicious again, so he opened his mouth obediently. Under the dim light, his thick eyelashes cast a reflection on his fair face. Shi Yi
looked at the boy in front of him who was waiting to be fed obediently, and suddenly understood why he was so popular. He has good looks, good grades, can play basketball, wash clothes and cook, knows how to take care of people, and his personality is distant but always within a certain range, and he is still sixteen years old. It is really hard to imagine that when such a boy grows up to his early twenties, who can resist him.
"What's wrong?" Ning Chenyu looked at her who had not moved for a long time and asked.
"Brother, why are you so beautiful." Shi Yi, who came back from her trance, carefully handed the fruit cube to his mouth and continued to flatter him.
"Ahem," Ning Chenyu, who had just swallowed the fruit, didn't expect his sister to praise him so much, and accidentally choked.
"Brother, you are prettier than the boy I like." Shi Yi patted his back gently, and said solemnly, "I have decided not to like him. I want to like you."
Since her goal is to win his heart and be with him forever, why not start from a young age when he still doesn't understand feelings? The friendship of childhood sweethearts cannot be put aside so easily.
Ning Chenyu coughed more violently when he heard her say that.
But in his heart, he felt a little uncomfortable, and also a little bit of joy.
"Brother, I like you." Shi Yi kissed the back of his hand solemnly and promised devoutly: "I will always like you."
Ning Chenyu looked at the little girl in front of him, who was wrapped in a heavy down jacket and whose height was not even as high as his shoulders. His heart was suddenly hit hard, and a beam of light shone into the gap.
Shi Yi did not understand how powerful this move was. In the future, no matter how she acted, the boy would think of her today and still love her with all his heart.
