Chapter 3 Rejection

The next day.

Yu Zhi woke up refreshed.

The interstellar medicine worked very quickly. Her fever had subsided, and the headache she had just experienced was also gone.

Yu Zhi got up from the bed. The girl in the mirror looked pretty, pure and bright, like a peach blossom waiting to bloom in early spring. She was 50% to 60% similar to her original appearance.

However, the original "Yu Zhi" developed an unsightly aesthetic under malicious guidance, completely destroying her natural beauty.

Yu Zhi slowly scanned the things on the dressing table and in the cloakroom, and finally barely picked out a fairly normal light pink lace shirt and paired it with dark pink suede trousers.

Well, it’s still a very deadly and explosive combination.

But this is already the "optimal solution" she can choose.

It's a Harajuku style after all? — Yu Zhi consoled her.

She made another note of Yu Yu.

Although he had taken advantage of his illness to throw a basin of dirty water on Yu Yu yesterday, this obviously did not change much. It just planted a clue in Yu Yao's mind.

Yu Zhi thought about the plot in the book and recalled the malice she had truly felt yesterday.

Um……

——Then she would snatch away everything that Yu Yu cared about bit by bit.

Yu Zhi got up late today.

When I went downstairs, Yu Ji and Li Shurong had already left.

Yu Yu went downstairs on time at 8 o'clock every day. Now only Yu Yao was still eating breakfast at the dining table in the side hall.

"Are you feeling better?" Yu Yao looked up, looking relieved. "How come you knew to wear something more refreshing today?"

“…”

Compared with the dark and heavy industrial style of "Yu Zhi" before, it is probably quite refreshing.

"Better." Yu Zhi slowly moved to sit opposite Yu Yao, "Thank you...brother."

Yu Yao raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly.

Although she felt much more awkward than when she was confused yesterday, she was awake today and knew to call him brother, which was a huge change.

Girls are naturally shy, so it's normal for them to feel a little embarrassed.

As an older brother, he should naturally take the initiative to take care of his younger sister.

The servants had already placed Yu Zhi's breakfast in front of her.

"Eat quickly." Yu Yao opened the lid of the vegetable porridge for her, "Be careful of the heat."

The dining table in the side hall is a normal-sized table for six people. During informal banquets, they mostly eat at this table, which makes it seem more warm and intimate.

Yu Yao was sitting opposite Yu Zhi at this moment, only a little over a meter away from her, and could clearly capture the surprise on her face.

"Why are you so silly?" Yu Yao raised his chin and gestured for her to drink the porridge. "Aren't you hungry?"

"It's not silly happiness." Yu Zhi bit her lip, "It's because my brother cares about me... I'm very happy."

Yu Yao's heart seemed to be suddenly grabbed and contracted, and then a little bit of pain appeared.

Was he incompetent in the past? Thinking about it now, he never seemed to have done anything for Yu Zhi on his own initiative. He always looked down on her and scolded her because of her clothes and behavior.

That's why Yu Zhi feels happy now because of such a small gesture.

Yu Yao took a deep breath, not wanting Yu Zhi to notice his emotional fluctuations.

"Do you have enough clothes? Do you want to go shopping and buy some?" He found a topic that made it more obvious. "You can ask Xiaoli to come with you."

I thought Yu Zhi would happily agree, but she didn't look too happy.

"I want to buy some more clothes, but..." Yu Zhi glanced at him timidly, hesitating as if to make an unreasonable request, "Can you accompany me?"

Yu Yao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course."

He just thought that Yu Zhi would prefer to be accompanied by Yu Yi, who was also a woman, when shopping together, but since his sister wanted him to accompany her, he certainly had no objection.

Anyway, it's holiday now and there's nothing else to do today.

"Then let's go out after you finish eating?" Yu Yao asked for her opinion.

Yu Zhi just took a mouthful of porridge and her cheeks puffed up like a little hamster. She couldn't speak and could only nod obediently.

"Okay, take your time eating, there's no rush. I'll go change my clothes first." Yu Yao said. He was wearing light gray silk home clothes, which looked comfortable and light.

"Yu Zhi" did not have silk pajamas. She only had a linen nightgown that she had worn for many years and was already a little too small. No one in her family had ever thought of buying these items for her.

But it doesn’t matter, Yu Zhi lowered her eyelids, she will have it today.

*

When Yu Yao came down, Yu Yi, who was originally in the room, heard the noise, so she opened the door and walked out.

"Ayao, are you going out today?" Yu Yi asked curiously when he saw him changed his clothes.

Yu Yao nodded cheerfully: "Accompany...Xiao Zhi to go shopping."

Xiao Zhi?! Yu Yu’s heart was filled with alarm.

It was just one night, why did Yu Yao's attitude towards Yu Zhi change so drastically?

Is blood relationship really that important?

Unspeakable jealousy emerged like black mud and flowed under Yu Yu's mask.

"Oh, I happen to have some things I want to buy too." She forced out her usual sweet smile and said with surprise, "I'll go with you."

But Yu Yao hesitated and said, "Xiao Li, what do you want to buy? I'll bring it back for you."

Yu Yu never expected that Yu Yao would actually reject her, and she almost couldn't keep the smile on her face.

She pretended to be confused and asked, "Ah? Is it inconvenient for us to go together?"

"It's not that it's inconvenient..." Yu Yao didn't know how to explain it to her, so he just said, "Next time."

He wasn't really stupid. When he asked Yu Zhi, her attitude clearly showed that she wanted to go shopping with him alone.

This was the first time his sister had taken the initiative to ask for something like this, so he would naturally satisfy her. Furthermore, Yu Zhi had finally changed, and he also wanted to talk more with her to make up for the brother-sister memories that had been missing for over a decade.

After Yu Yao finished speaking, he hurried downstairs. Yu Yi couldn't really chase after him, as she always had the image of being considerate.

"Have you finished eating?" Yu Yao stood opposite, leaning on the back of the chair with his elbows, and asked Yu Zhi.

The young man's handsome eyes were filled with a pleasant smile, and his posture was lazy and familiar, which diluted the strangeness between the two.

Yu Zhi wiped her mouth and swallowed the last bite: "Okay, okay."

She stood up and the servants came to take away the plates on the table.

"Where's your coat?" Yu Yao frowned as he looked at her thin clothes.

It is now the end of January and the central star is in winter, with temperatures ranging from 5°C to 15°C.

Yu Zhi was a little depressed: "I don't like it anymore..."

Yu Yao thought about the strange-looking coats in her closet and nodded in agreement: "Then throw them all away. It's okay, we can just drive to the mall and buy some. It won't be cold indoors."

Whether it is Yu's home, the car or the shopping mall, there is a constant temperature system, and the indoor temperature is maintained at around 22°C for a long time.

When they reached the front door, Yu Yao lowered his head to change his shoes, but Yu Zhi raised his head and looked at the elevated railing on the second floor.

Yu Yu was looking at her expressionlessly, and only when he saw Yu Zhi looking at him did he hurriedly put on a concerned smile.

Yu Zhi looked at her steadily for two seconds, then revealed a provocative and contemptuous smile.

She was not afraid that Yu Yu would discover her changes.

She just wanted Yu Yu to watch her lose everything clearly, but be powerless to do anything.
