The younger sister took Cui Zhiruo to the door of a store, and Cui Zhiruo's classmates were also there.
"Sister, this is a surprise for you."
"What's this?"
Cui Zhiruo asked curiously.
"I'm really grateful to my sister for the great help she gave me when I was very young. I couldn't do anything to help her, so this is a surprise for her," the younger sister said, pushing open the door and slowly walking in. "This is the shop I bought. From now on, it will be your clothing store, and you'll be the boss."
"Is this a gift from you?"
"Um."
"For me?"
Cui Zhiruo asked uncertainly.
"Yes!"
"Where did you get so much money?"
"I saved all the money my brother gave me."
"That was given to you by Sheng Liuming. How could you spend it on your sister? If..."
"Sister, it's okay." The younger sister interrupted Cui Zhiruo. "Brother, there's still a lot of money. If you don't accept it, I'll be sad. I thought you'd be happy, but instead, you blamed me."
"I'm sorry." Cui Zhiruo hurried forward, hugged her sister, and said gently: "I just didn't expect you to do such a thing. Thank you, really."
"As long as you are happy."
This sentence was said by a classmate.
Cui Zhiruo let go of her sister and said, "I feel quite happy now. Actually... although I haven't told you all this time, I was quite tired for a while."
Recalling that period of time, Cui Zhiruo frowned slightly.
"I thought my life would change after graduating from my dream school, but after returning to China, I realized that wasn't the case. I didn't have the money to start a business, so I had to start small. At the time, I thought as long as I could make and sell clothes, I'd be happy no matter what. I didn't expect that doing something I loved would become painful."
The classmate patted Cui Zhiruo's shoulder gently, as if to comfort her.
Cui Zhiruo took a deep breath, and the heavy expression on her face eased a little.
"My classmates have already gained recognition on the international stage and are doing very well, but in comparison, I feel like I'm nothing."
"How could that be? My sister is obviously very capable."
My sister shook her head in disagreement.
Cui Zhiruo smiled and continued, "Sometimes I even worried that they would laugh at us for selling unbranded clothes. Sometimes I even thought about giving up and doing something else. That's how I got to where I am today. But after seeing our store today, I suddenly felt more confident. I know that as long as I move forward step by step, no matter how hard or tiring it is, I will one day achieve my desired goal. Also, having someone accompany me on this journey is a great blessing."
After Cui Zhiruo said this, the three of them hugged each other.
She didn't expect that she would become so happy later.
"Without you, I might feel like I'm walking alone in an endless tunnel with no exit in sight. That would be dozens of times more lonely and painful than the one I'm in now. Thank you for trusting me, thank you for accompanying me, and thank you for being my good friend."
"Sister, I am the one who should thank you."
"Um?"
Cui Zhiruo asked softly.
The classmate said, "I heard someone say that when someone feels pain and tired, it means they've put in a lot of effort. So, you've been working hard all this time. If you feel tired in the future, you can relax occasionally or lean on each other. Let's move forward together."
"Um."
Cui Zhiruo nodded heavily.
A few people decided to celebrate.
This is the first time I open a store. Having my own store is definitely worth celebrating.
However, the final place we went to was a classmate's home. Since there was no one at home, we simply opened a few bottles of wine and started drinking.
After a while, my sister received a call from Sheng Liuming.
"Drinking? With your sister?"
Sheng Liuming's voice sounded a little unhappy.
"I used the money my brother gave me to buy a gift for my sister."
"What gift?"
"Sister, you've always wanted to open a clothing store, so I used the money you gave me to open one as a gift. So, I'm decorating it today and it just finished, so we celebrated. What's going on?"
"Nothing, what time do you want to drink?"
The tone sounded no different from before.
I don’t know whether I’m happy or unhappy.
The younger sister thought for a moment and said, "Sister seems quite happy today. She must be drinking quite late."
At this time, Cui Zhiruo and her classmates were still drinking and had no idea that her sister and Sheng Liuming were on the phone.
She didn't even know that Sheng Liuming had already finished filming the TV series and returned home that night, but found no one there, so she called her sister.
Upon learning that Cui Zhiruo and her sister were drinking at a classmate's house, they quickly drove here.
“Time flies!”
Cui Zhiruo drank her wine and sighed.
She didn't drink much, so she looked very lucky, and her face didn't even look red.
She can't really drink much.
"By the way, you two have been dating for over a month now, are you getting along well?"
The classmate asked with concern.
"Of course, we get along very well." Cui Zhiruo answered, but then lowered her eyes, nodded, and said in a lower voice: "Yes, we do get along very well..."
The classmate keenly caught the little expression on her face and asked, "Is there any problem?"
Cui Zhiruo thought for a moment before asking, "I was just wondering, is falling in love always so anxiety-inducing?"
"Anxious, why?"
The classmate asked in confusion.
"After all, Sheng Liuming's job is quite special, and we are six years apart in age. Although I feel very happy now, I am worried that someone will find out one day. Even if we are not found out, I am still worried that we will eventually break up. Sometimes this thought suddenly pops up. Every time that happens, I feel very anxious and scared. If we break up..."
"Break up, who wants to break up?"
Suddenly a very familiar voice appeared.
Cui Zhiruo's pupils trembled in panic, then she turned around and saw Sheng Liuming standing not far away.
Sheng Liuming?
So he heard everything I said just now?
Cui Zhiruo was stunned at first, and then Sheng Liuming walked towards her with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
After he finished filming, he not only showed up in front of her late at night, but also prepared a bouquet of flowers.
Cui Zhiruo was so surprised that she didn't react until her classmates spoke.
The person who appeared in front of him was indeed Sheng Liuming.
Real people, not dreamers.
I almost thought I was hallucinating because of drinking.
Did he hear everything I just said?
