Chapter 30 Calling Brother

Later, he entered the third year of high school, and because he lived in the school dormitory, he rarely went home.

I went back once a week, and every time I would see the girl either doing her homework or digging something in the back garden. I had no idea what she was doing.

Not long after, he returned home and suddenly found some more fruits and vegetables in his garden.

The mother said that it was planted every year, and that the child grew up with his grandparents and inherited the old people's temperament and liked to plant something in the fields.

Later he learned that Sang Sui's father was a firefighter in Jiangcheng, and unfortunately died while saving people during a mission.

He was stunned and couldn't help asking: "When did it happen?"

"It was at the beginning of this year." Wen Xuelin sighed, "Aunt Man was very sad. Sui Sui happened to be promoted to high school. In order to get away from the place that made her sad and to give Sui Sui a good study environment, she decided to move to Yunjing City."

"But they don't have many relatives in Yunjing City, and their only friend is mom. Plus, Aunt Man is raising a little girl alone, so mom is worried, so she brought them here and let them live in our house."

At this point, Wen Xuelin thought of something, looked at her son, and smiled: "You were at school at the time, and the situation was quite urgent, so Mom didn't explain the situation to you. Mom thought you would be uncomfortable, and even unhappy with Suisui, but I didn't expect you to get along with her quite well."

In his mother's eyes, he and Sang Sui got along well because - she saw that because there were many more fruits and vegetables in the garden, he asked the girl out of curiosity, and she caught them, so she thought they got along well.

In fact, at that time, he and Sang Sui were not very close. At most, they were strangers who had met a few times.

The big turning point in their relationship came when he ran into the girl fainted in her bedroom due to menstrual cramps.

He remembered that day, the summer sun was scorching and the cicadas in the treetops were chirping endlessly.

That day was Sunday. He was resting at home. He had just woken up from a nap and went to eat in his slippers. When he passed by the girl's room, he found that the door was ajar.

He didn't like prying into other people's privacy, and the other party was a girl, so even if he found that the door was ajar, he didn't have the curiosity to care why she didn't close the door.

At that time, he walked straight over and glanced inside unintentionally, and found that there seemed to be a person lying on the ground.

I could faintly hear groans of pain.

He paused and frowned.

After just a few seconds of thinking, he turned back and raised his hand to knock on the door.

No one answered.

There was clearly someone inside, but no one responded. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.

After knocking a few more times and still finding no response from the person inside, he pushed the door open and went in.

What I saw was a girl lying on the ground, her brows were furrowed, her face was pale, her white pajamas were soaked with sweat, her ankles and calves were exposed, and bloodstains could be vaguely seen on her pants.

He was just eighteen years old at the time and didn't know much about girls' private matters. When he saw the blood, he thought something had happened to her. Without saying a word, he picked up the unconscious her and ran out of the bedroom.

It was summer and the weather was hot. He carried her all the way to the hospital and was sweating profusely.

When he saw the doctor, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, gasping and saying, "Doctor, she is injured and bleeding a lot, please save her, please save her!"

The doctor glanced at Sang Sui and suddenly couldn't stop laughing.

The doctor said that the girl just had her period, it was her first time, the period was heavy and she had dysmenorrhea, so she fainted.

He was completely stunned at the time, and his face turned red when he realized what it meant.

It was such a big misunderstanding that the aunt who came over later couldn't stop laughing when she found out about it.

Before long, the news spread throughout the family.

He was embarrassed and awkward, and hid in school for a long time without going home.

It was also at that time that he found out.

It turns out that a girl has to go through pain to transform from a green kimono girl into a mature girl.

When he returned home, the school had given him a day off after a mock exam.

He will always remember that day when the girl saw him come back, ran to him happily, grabbed his hand and ran to the back garden.

In front of me were the girl's ears and the back of her neck, which were red from running, and her ponytail, which was bouncing from running.

When the girl's palm touched his arm skin, it was slightly cool, but he felt an unprecedented heat.

That heat, like the scorching sun, burned his entire heart.

They stopped at a fence in the back garden. The girl let go of his hand, turned around and smiled brightly at him.

"Let me pick a watermelon for you to eat!" she said. "I planted it myself. It's very sweet!"

Before he could react, the girl immediately took off her shoes and stepped her white and tender feet on the loess.

She tapped each watermelon with her fingers, then bent down and put her ear close to it to listen to the sound inside.

She knocked over several and finally took off the biggest one.

At the time he didn't understand how a person could like to grow things in such dirty land.

Later, when he ate the watermelon she had cut for him, the girl asked him expectantly if it was sweet, and he vaguely understood.

I feel a sense of accomplishment when I grow them myself.

And she wanted to share this sense of accomplishment with him.

Later he found out that the girl had heard from Wen Xuelin that he liked to eat watermelon.

That's why she planted it for him to try.

Their family is rich and it's not that they can't afford a watermelon, but looking at the watermelon in his hand, he felt that the meaning seemed to have changed.

He nodded and hummed.

"Thank you," she said suddenly.

He was stunned and looked up at her.

"I fainted that day, thank you for saving me."

He lowered his eyes and wanted to make a "hmm" in response, but the bright smile of the girl in front of him seemed to stir up a selfish urge in him.

"You're welcome," he said.

"Can I call you brother from now on?"

He paused for a moment, looking at the girl's sunburned cheeks and bright smile in front of him, as if something was knocking at the door of his heart.

He pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay."

-

"Senior Sheng, your clothes are ready."

The voice brought Sheng Yize's wandering thoughts back.

He came to his senses, looked at the girl who handed him the clothes, and stood up to take it.

"Thanks."

He carried the bag and walked out of the laundry room.

When I passed by the supermarket, I saw a row of watermelons at the door.

Three yuan per pound, quite cheap.

He curled his lips and walked over.

He picked one up and tapped it against his ear.

I didn't hear anything unusual.

After putting it down, he picked up another one and tapped it next to his ear.

I found nothing unusual.

How did that girl choose the watermelon?

It seems like I always pick the very good and sweet ones.

"Which one do you want, classmate?" the boss asked him.

Sheng Yize picked up one that he liked at random and handed it over: "This one."

-

When Sheng Yize returned to the infirmary, Sang Sui had already woken up.

Lin Luoluo, Chen Yi, Zou Jin and others came to see her. They were chatting and it was very lively.

Seeing him coming back, Sang Sui was stunned for a second and poked his head out: "Where have you been?"

Sheng Yize walked over with a watermelon in one hand and a bag of clothes in the other.

He handed her the clothes.

Sang Sui took it and opened it. Inside were her clothes. Not only were they all washed and dried, but she could also smell a faint fragrance emanating from them.

Is he... taking her clothes to wash?

Thinking of the dirty pants, Sang Sui's face turned red.

"Thanks."

I pretended to be busy but didn't dare to look at him.

Sheng Yize snorted and was about to carry the watermelon over when Zou Jin came over and picked up the watermelon in his hand, grinning.

"Wow, Brother Sheng! How did you know I was thirsty and wanted to eat watermelon!!"

After saying that, he grabbed it.

Sheng Yize snatched it back and glared at him: "You're snatching a child's things?!"

Child?

Zou Jin was stunned: "Who is the child?"

Chen Yi and Lin Luoluo looked at each other.

Seeing that Sheng Yize didn't reply, Zou Jin looked at Chen Yi again: "Chen Yi, who is the child?"

Thinking of something, his eyes suddenly opened wide, as if he had discovered some shocking secret -

"No way, Brother Sheng! When did you give birth to a child?!"
