Zhou Yunce glared at Zhou Yunxiao and accused her of saying too much.
Zhou Yunxiao pretended not to see anything, cleaned up the dishes, and pushed Shiye out of the kitchen, smiling and saying, "Go, go, my brother's room is on the left, listen carefully, and try to get good grades, come on, Xiaoye!"
After saying that, Zhou Yunxiao went straight into the kitchen, probably to cut fruit.
Just as Zhou Yunce was about to speak, Shi stood up and pointed at the book in his hand: "Let's go."
Zhou Yunce felt a headache watching Shiye walking straight to the room. Shiye in front of him didn't seem to notice anything and turned back to urge him, "Hurry up, it's almost dark. If you study for a while, you have to go back to the dormitory. The instructor will call the roll in the evening."
If she really doesn't come back to the dormitory day after day, haha, then she can't wash herself clean even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
Zhou Yunce pursed his lips and followed. After entering the room, he saw Shi also standing there, looking at his room.
He was a little annoyed, and went forward to stuff his change of clothes into the closet, and said in a deep voice: "Sit over there!"
Shi also nodded and sat down at the desk. Zhou Yunce's room was not small, and the desk was piled high with books, some of which were even curled up. It was unexpected that such a rebellious boy could actually calm down and read.
In this way, Zhou Yunce should be able to get a good score after the college entrance examination is resumed.
Shi also sat on a chair. Zhou Yunce hesitated for a moment and sat down beside the bed. The distance between them was half a meter.
"You can read books sitting so far away?" Shi was also a little amused and turned to look at Zhou Yunce. When the latter heard her teasing, his ears immediately turned red and he glared at her: "Why do you care about me? If you don't understand, can't I explain it to you?"
Shi also laughed. In her previous life, she had conquered so many young men in Yandu, but none of them was as pure as Zhou Yunce.
She laughed without concealing it at all. Zhou Yunce's face turned red, his brows were furrowed, and he looked at Shiye with dissatisfaction.
At the door, Zhou Yunxiao secretly put her ear against the door panel, and heard the laughter and Zhou Yunce's uncomfortable voice inside. She grinned, and was about to go back to continue cutting fruit, but when she turned around, she saw Li Xiu Lian. She was startled, and quickly put her index finger on her lips, making a "hush" gesture, then tiptoed over and pulled Li Xiu Lian into the kitchen.
Zhou Yunxiao listened to the noise outside like a secret agent, and when she heard nothing, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, do you really agree with my brother and Xiaoye's relationship? Weren't you unwilling at the beginning?" Zhou Yunxiao looked at Li Xiu Lian with some curiosity, cutting a peeled apple in her hand. In the northwest, fruits are very precious.
Li Xiulian lowered her eyes, her expression calm and without any emotion visible.
She sighed and said, "This marriage was an agreement between Sheng Wei and me. It has nothing to do with the Xiao family and should not involve Xiao Ye. Besides, you know your brother's temper. He doesn't like Zhen Zhen. If I keep trying to bring them together, it will only backfire. If I really bring back someone like Mao Lin..."
At this point, Li Xiulian had an expression as if she had swallowed a fly, and she waved her hands, feeling a little headache.
Zhou Yunxiao blinked. She didn't like Mao Lin either. Although it was the first time she met her, her mother and eldest brother had quarreled a lot because of her. She heard that most of her eldest brother's monthly salary was spent on Mao Lin. She was not a good woman.
As for Qin Zhenzhen, she was a nice person, nice to her and her mother, but... she was hard to get close to.
Their family was a poor family. They went to the northwest and suffered a lot to have their current life. Qin Zhenzhen was the daughter of a division commander of the Corps. She wanted everything and was not suitable for her stubborn older brother.
But she was also unfamiliar with Shi Ye. After so many years, she didn't even know how her personality had changed.
However, the fact that she was able to coax her angry elder brother back today was impressive enough. You know, once elder brother Zhou Yunce made a decision, it would be difficult to change it even with nine oxen. Based on this point, she felt that Shi was suitable!
Zhou Yunxiao was silent for a while, then asked carefully, "Mom, you haven't let go of what happened?"
Hearing this, Li Xiulian's eyes were slightly fierce, but it disappeared in an instant. Looking at Zhou Yunxiao's cautious expression, she chuckled, "What does it matter if I let it go or not? The Zhou family was sent down, and your father... For so many years, I have never thought about returning to Yandu again."
When mentioning her father, Zhou Yunxiao lowered her eyelids and looked a little lonely.
She was young and didn't know much about what happened. She only heard that it was an internal dispute in the Navy compound. In order to eliminate dissidents and monopolize power, the Xiao family framed the Zhou family, which led to the disaster. Her father didn't even make it to the Northwest alive.
Over the years, the Zhou family has had a hard time, and her mother has been the sole carrier of the entire family. She feels very distressed, but the past is past, and it is difficult to ask for justice from anyone. Now that life has gotten better, she should focus on herself.
These words were stuck in Zhou Yunxiao's throat and she never spoke.
Because she knew that her mother would not like to hear it, and she would probably never be able to calm down and would find it even harder to reconcile with others.
"Okay, send it to them after cutting it. Xiao will have to go back soon." Li Xiulian said, then turned and left the kitchen. Zhou Yunxiao looked at her lonely back, her eyes reddened, and she wiped them vigorously with her sleeves before taking the cut apples and going to Zhou Yunce's room. She stood at the door, sorted herself out, and then knocked on the door.
Zhou Yunce was teaching Shiya the basics of military affairs. When he heard the knock on the door, his mouth twitched and he said in a deep voice, "Come in!"
Zhou Yunxiao leaned in and smiled sheepishly at Zhou Yunce and Shiye's gazes: "I'm here to deliver fruit. I hope I didn't disturb you. What have you learned? Brother, are you teaching Xiaoye seriously?"
Zhou Yunce sneered and glanced at her: "When did you become so polite that you knew to knock on the door?"
Zhou Yunxiao pretended not to hear anything. She ran to Shiye with the apple in her hand and handed it to him, saying, "Xiaoye, try it. It's so sweet. My brother brought it back when he went to study abroad. We can't eat this in the northwest. It's very expensive. But next time if you want to eat it again, tell my brother. He often travels around to study and can bring it back for you."
Leaning against Shi Ye, smelling the faint scent on her body, Zhou Yunxiao grinned.
She didn't know what was going on. Mingming and Shi Ming hadn't seen each other for many years and felt very unfamiliar. But after they started talking, it was as if there was no barrier between them, as if they were back to their childhood. She really liked this feeling.
Zhou Yunce frowned, expressing his deep dissatisfaction with his sister's random matchmaking behavior.
Zhou Yunxiao didn't care about that and looked at Zhou Yunce with a smile: "Right, brother? You will bring it to Xiaoye, right?"
Shi also curled her lips and took a bite of the apple. It was crisp, sweet and sour and delicious. She also looked at Zhou Yunce along with Zhou Yunxiao. This man was a very arrogant and thin-skinned person. As expected, when he met her gaze, his face turned red all of a sudden.
Zhou Yunce did not answer this question in the end and closed the book with a "snap".
He turned and walked out, saying, "It's getting late. I'll take you home."
