Grow up quickly, Zai Zai
Chen Xi never thought that this kind of bloody drama where her boyfriend's family persuaded her to quit the 8 o'clock drama would happen to her.
Jin Zhou's attitude was sincere, as if he was really giving good advice. "You've probably noticed that Song Shuyang's mindset is really no different from that of a child. He thinks about problems in a simple and crude way. If he can solve a problem, he solves it. If he can't, he runs away and leaves the mess to others."
"I'm the one who spoiled him with these bad habits since he was little. You don't know how naughty he was as a kid, always causing trouble. When nothing was wrong, he'd call me Jin Zhou all the time. But when he got into trouble, he'd get anxious and start whining and calling me brother. Just like today, he didn't even think he'd done anything wrong."
"This is the evil in his bones. What he is best at is using that face to seduce you, and then when you fall for him, he pushes you away and uses immaturity and ignorance to excuse himself.
Chen Xi frowned when he heard this, "Why are you telling me this?"
She just wanted to have a simple campus romance.
The smile on Jin Zhou's face faded little by little.
"Because I share the same pain as you, Xiao Shen," he lowered his head, his beautiful eyes cast downcast, "I love him."
Chen Xi opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
“You’re not…”
Jin Zhou ignored her surprise and collapse, and continued to narrate calmly: "Even if you continue with him, he won't be able to give you any response you want. He will subconsciously act coquettishly towards you and bring you some sweet troubles, but once you respond, he will immediately run away. Xiao Shen, I even know why he has a good impression of you, because you have a good sense of proportion. You are gentle, proactive, and not so enthusiastic that he is scared. But you can't stay with him like this forever."
There was madness hidden under his calm tone, and his attitude was so sincere that it was almost compassionate. As a love rival, Shen Xi couldn't even get angry.
"You are indeed right. Let alone a lifetime, I can't stand him right now."
She was so horrified that she even forgot she was the person involved. From the perspective of an outsider, she asked, "What if he meets someone else in the future? Are you going to persuade them to quit one by one?"
Jin Zhou forced a bitter laugh, "Do I have any other options?"
"But aren't you afraid that he will hate you if you do this?"
He spoils people and then ties them up to himself, driving away anyone who tries to get close to him.
Jin Zhou pursed his lips, and his peach blossom eyes, which usually contained a playful or lazy look, turned into two deep pools, making it impossible to see the bottom.
"I'd rather he hate me than treat me as his brother."
Song Shuyang's unconscious teasing was almost driving him crazy.
…
After seeing her off, Jin Zhou turned and went upstairs. He composed himself before walking up the last step, opened the door, and looked speechlessly at the little ostrich who was rummaging through things in his room.
I don’t know how to reject a suitor, but I do know how to bully him.
"Cough cough." Jin Zhou coughed twice to make the thief calm down a little.
Song Shuyang raised his head, probably knowing that he had helped him clean up the mess, and the momentary panic disappeared, "Have you forgiven me, Senior Sister?"
Jin Zhou didn't want to hide it from him, so he went straight to the point, "I let her go."
"What did you say?" Song Shuyang's hair stood on end. He rushed over and grabbed his collar. "You're sick, Jin Zhou! I finally found someone I like, and you took her away?!"
His eyes widened when he was angry. Jin Zhou looked at him calmly, "If you like her, why are you afraid to kiss her?"
This sentence pierced Song Shuyang's disguise, and he yelled, "Did you scare her away? It must be you. You're jealous that I'm no longer single!"
"Song Shuyang, don't change the subject."
"That was me, that was..." Song Shuyang's face flushed red, and he couldn't even give a reasonable explanation.
"I don't care! You are just jealous of me!" This was the final conclusion.
For several minutes, Jin Zhou just looked at him without saying a word.
Song Shuyang was spoiled by him. The love he showed was not even one ten-thousandth of his true love, but was already being subconsciously exploited by Song Shuyang.
He pushed Song Shuyang away indifferently and sat back down on the bed. "I'm too lazy to argue with you, you unreasonable person."
It was he who persuaded Chen Xi to leave. He was indeed a bad person, but Song Shuyang was not innocent either. Who made him fall into the trap?
He wanted to take advantage of Song Shuyang's fault and make a fuss to recover some of the lost cities for himself.
He pointed at the door and said, "Get out of here and don't disturb my sleep."
Perhaps she hadn't expected him to be so mean to her. Song Shuyang was so angry that she almost cried, "Okay, Jin Zhou, from today on, if I talk to you again, I'll be a dog!"
The door was slammed shut and Jin Zhou fell tiredly onto the bed.
Song Shuyang has the most innocent cruelty. He has the most innocent face in the world, but he teases him and hurts him at the same time.
Then Jin Zhou had to pretend that he didn't care and was very free and easy.
He was so sad that he could only sigh softly.
"Grow up quickly, Zai Zai."
Year after year, he really couldn't bear it anymore.
…
When Song Nian got home from get off work, she saw the living room was pitch black and thought Song Shuyang had taken Chen Xi out to play and hadn't returned yet. Just as she was about to turn on the light, she heard a resentful voice behind her: "Mom."
"Oh my god, you scared me, why don't you turn on the lights when you are at home, Yangyang."
The lights came on, illuminating Song Shuyang's face, which was more resentful than a ghost.
His head drooped, his eyelids drooping listlessly, "Mom, am I really useless?"
Song Nian could guess what had happened today without even thinking from his expression. She reached out and smoothed his messy hair, "Why are you suddenly saying this about me?"
"I can't do anything right, not even a relationship. I only make people around me disappointed in me."
Song Nian laughed, "Who did you disappoint again?"
Song Shuyang dragged out tears and said: "I pissed off my senior sister and had a fight with Jin Zhou."
Having anticipated this outcome, Song Nian sighed helplessly, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you bring her home so early. I've let her down for nothing."
After a pause, she took out the vegetables from the bag one by one and said, "You made people angry and left. Why are you arguing with your brother again?"
Song Shuyang held an eggplant against his chin and muttered, "He provoked me first."
"Just take advantage of your brother's kindness to you and bully others. You'll be happy when he really ignores you after you bully him so much."
Song Shuyang imagined Jin Zhou ignoring him, and for some reason he felt a little upset. He handed the eggplant in his hand to Song Nian, "Mom, please teach me how to make sweet and sour eggplant strips."
"Oh, you know how to ask for peace?"
Song Shuyang shouted fiercely, "Who wants to make peace with him? I just want to eat."
Song Nian took the eggplant without revealing the fact that he didn't like sweet and sour food.
There were only three people at home eating, so Song Nian only prepared four dishes and a soup. She took off her apron and said, "You eat first. I'll go upstairs to see if my brother is asleep."
Jin Zhou usually didn't lock the door when he slept at home during the day, so that Song Nian could call him for dinner. She turned the doorknob quietly, but before she opened the door, she heard someone say, "Come in, Auntie."
"Why did you wake up so early today?"
Jin Zhou smiled lightly, "I woke up when I smelled the aroma of food."
"Yangyang insisted on learning how to make sweet and sour eggplant strips with me today. Is he bullying you again?"
"No, I was just joking."
"Yangyang told me everything," Song Nian sighed, "I really like this girl Xiao Shen, but it's a pity that she's not destined to be with our family."
"He's still young, there's no need to rush these things."
"Yeah." Song Nian stood by the bed for a while, as if he had something else to say.
Jin Zhou smiled and said, "Auntie, is there anything else?"
A faint blush appeared on Song Nian's face. She hesitated to speak for a long time before she stammered, "You should have seen what happened between your father and me."
So that's it. Jin Zhou joked, "My dad always reports to you about the road situation when he comes back. If I can't see this, I'd be as blind as a blind man."
Song Nian felt even more embarrassed by his teasing, "I still want to ask for your opinion, after all, you are so old."
Over the years, although Jin Zhou called her "Auntie", he had always considered her his mother. His biological mother passed away early, and Jin Zhou's memory of her was very vague. In his recollection, his mother looked like Song Nian.
He said, "I support you two being together, but I don't know what Song Shuyang is like."
Song Nian frowned when he was mentioned. "I was worried that he wouldn't be able to accept it, so I didn't dare tell him..."
On the first day Jin Zhou came to the house, Song Shuyang, who learned that he was not her sister, resisted fiercely. She climbed a tree and shouted "Mom, you liar", swore that she would never speak to Jin Zhou again in her life, and ran to Jin Jiaan to ask him where he had hidden his sister.
Although the lethality is basically "0", it is still quite annoying.
Apparently, Jin Zhou also recalled this past event. He chuckled and said, "I'll find a way to slowly infiltrate him."
Song Nian's eyes showed gratitude, "Thank you so much, Xiao Zhou. I'm lucky to have a brother like you."
"Aunt Song," Jin Zhou suddenly called her in a low voice, "If one day you find that I'm not doing my job as a brother well, will you forgive me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How much nicer can you be? If you treat Yangyang any better, he will float to the sky."
Jin Zhou lowered his head and laughed quietly.
He followed Song Nian downstairs and saw the figure sitting unsteadily at the dining table straighten his back the moment he heard footsteps. He asked Song Nian with a stifled smile, "Auntie Song, what's the special dish today?"
Song Nian also cooperated and raised his voice, saying, "I've been dreaming about sweet and sour eggplant strips. Sigh, I don't know why someone who never eats sweet food would want to learn this dish."
The figure stood there frozen, not moving for a long time.
Jin Zhou pretended not to see him, served himself and Song Nian some food, and sat on the other side of the table to eat some dishes, but he didn't take the sweet and sour eggplant strips.
He took a mouthful of rice, put down the bowl, and found that the plate of sweet and sour eggplant strips was about 0.5 centimeters closer to him.
Jin Zhou picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and continued to ignore him.
In the end, he really didn't eat a single bite and watched someone at the table wilted away silently.
He said, "Auntie Song, let me pack up the leftovers in a lunch box so I don't get hungry later in the night."
Song Shuyang straightened his back again, pretending to play with his mobile phone, but actually paying attention to Jin Zhou's every move with his peripheral vision. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had packed the whole plate of eggplant strips into a lunch box.
Song Nian asked Jin Zhou: "Are we going so early today?"
"Well, we need to take inventory of materials today."
He packed his lunch box, picked it up, turned around and asked Song Shuyang, "Brother Regret, do you want to go over and play?"
Song Shuyang stood up and turned around casually, "Humph, let's go."
