Chapter 118 "Is your sister's name Zhizhi?"
The barbecue smells delicious.
After it came out of the stove, the four of them sat around the small camping table and enjoyed a simple but happy self-driving meal.
The temperature outside is still a little cold.
When you look up, you can see snow-capped mountains.
Sitting here in the middle of July wearing a thick coat, holding the self-heating pot to warm my hands and stomach, and indulging in the feeling of the steam temperature is really a novel experience.
Especially listening to Qi Jiashu and Sang Ying quarreling.
Li Zhi inexplicably felt as happy and warm as a family sitting together around the fire.
But feelings are also illusions.
Li Zhi's eyelashes drooped slightly, and she took a bite of luncheon meat, remembering that she no longer had any family.
From now on, all the liveliness in the Jiang family belongs only to Jiang Zhiyou.
It has nothing to do with her anymore.
Li Zhi's eyes were a little red from the heat, but she was always able to adjust her emotions quickly, and she couldn't let such a good laugh ruin the atmosphere for no reason.
However, Lou Yanjing noticed that she was in a low mood.
He leaned closer, looked at her watery eyes which were as red as a rabbit, and knew at a glance what made her feel so.
But he didn't expose it.
He just chuckled, lightly brushed her eyelids with his fingertips, raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice: "Are you fume-smoked?"
Lou Yanjing's volume is actually not very high.
But Qi Jiashu and Sang Ying still raised their eyes sharply.
Seeing Li Zhi's slightly red eyes, and considering what Lou Yanjing had just said, Qi Jiashu quickly turned sideways holding the self-heating pot.
"Ah? Are you feeling the fumes?"
He quickly used his palm to blow the spicy smell in another direction: "Is it too spicy?"
Sang Ying also immediately took the lid at hand.
Just as she was about to cover her self-heating pot, she looked back and saw the smoke from the grill. She immediately raised her leg and kicked Qi Jiashu: "You haven't put out all the smoke from the grill!"
"Wow." Qi Jiashu immediately stood up holding the self-heating pot.
He quickly went to deal with the smoke from the grill, and while doing so he glanced at Li Zhi: "My bad, my bad, sister Zhi Zhi, are you not used to the chili peppers in the air?"
He learned his lesson and said: "Then I won't eat spicy food anymore!"
Li Zhi: “…”
She looked at Qi Jiashu in a daze. She really didn't expect things to develop in this direction.
She really doesn't like the smell of chili in the air.
In the past, if it were any other place where Miss Zhizhi was, anyone who dared to sprinkle chili powder on the barbecue to smoke her would be asked to take away the barbecue pot along with the meat.
But this time it really has nothing to do with peppers...
But the people around me take it to heart.
Especially after hearing Qi Jiashu say that he wanted to give up spicy food, Li Zhi hesitated and said, "...That's not necessary."
The smoke treatment on the grill is clean.
It was windy here, and the spicy smell in the air was quickly blown away. Sang Ying took her self-heating pot and sat down to eat, finding a direction where the wind would not blow to Li Zhi.
Qi Jiashu simply closed the lid and stopped eating.
He sat next to Li Zhi and made a fool of himself, staring at her while she ate, acting as a feeder.
"Sister Zhizhi, leave us alone, just eat your food."
"How about roasted pork belly? Not spicy."
"Which do you prefer, pork, sheep, beef or chicken? I've roasted them all."
"Sister Zhizhi, give me a bunch of mushrooms."
"Are there any barbecue foods you don't like? Or what do you like? Tell me and I'll remember it."
"Eat more, it's all yours."
Qi Jiashu pushed the plate in front of Li Zhi, no longer caring that there was a living Lou Xiaoque next to him.
Lou Yanjing's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Tsk."
"What are you saying? It's so annoying." Qi Jiashu glanced at him sideways in annoyance.
But she turned around and put on a brilliant smile, and handed Li Zhi a tissue: "Sister Zhizhi, use this to wrap the skewers, don't dirty your hands."
Li Zhi reached out and took the tissue in confusion.
During the whole meal, her ears were filled with the voice of "Sister Zhizhi" in various tones.
Almost filling her brain.
In the end, Li Zhi sighed helplessly.
Her eyes flickered as she glanced at Qi Jiashu and shouted helplessly, "Jiao Jiao brother."
Qi Jiashu: “Here we are.”
"Could it be that the sister you just found is also called Zhizhi? So you are practicing on me here?"
Li Zhi never thought of other possibilities.
She had never connected herself with the biological sister that Qi Jiashu had just found.
After all, Qi Jiashu is from Kyoto.
It’s far from Yicheng.
It's really not related at all.
Qi Jiashu was stunned. He suddenly looked at Li Zhi somewhat at a loss. His fingers, with clear bones, were clasped together, as if they were caressing each other uneasily.
He looked into Li Zhi's eyes, his remaining eyes falling on the tip of her nose dotted with a small mole: "Her name is A-Yu."
Lou Yanjing mentioned this to her when he was telling the story.
Li Zhi remembered the girl's name.
Qi Jiashu clasped his fingers together and tightened them: "But her current name does have a character 'zhi' in it."
"Sure enough." Li Zhi bit off a piece of pork belly.
She was indeed Qi Jiashu's tool for practicing how to be a good brother.
Qi Jiashu's Adam's apple slid: "But if she likes the name Zhizhi more in the future, I will call her Zhizhi."
The aroma of meat enveloped Li Zhi's taste buds.
The fat in the pork belly was roasted to a degree that it was not greasy, and the crispy outside and tender inside texture made Li Zhi happy.
So she complimented the chef: "You will be a very good brother."
"Really?" Qi Jiashu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Cold sweat formed in his palms. He raised his eyes and looked at Li Zhi tentatively: "But I've always been worried that she would blame me for losing her..."
If he hadn't pushed Ayu out of the yard.
She won't be taken away.
She won’t lose it.
She has been loved by many people since she was a child.
But Li Zhi blinked her eyelashes slightly, thought about it and put herself in the situation, it seemed that she still didn't feel blamed.
Just like what she said to Lou Yanjing that day, he was just trying to make his sister happy, and he was only three years old.
Those traffickers are clearly the ones who are at fault.
Not the little boy who was ignorant of the world back then.
Li Zhi still said the same thing to Qi Jiashu, and added with a lively look in her eyes: "Besides, you are her brother, how can the blood relationship be severed?"
Just like mom and dad must take Jiang Zhiyou home.
Even if they don't know each other at all.
But that is their real biological daughter.
As soon as we meet, our hearts will become very close and we will quickly become familiar with each other. On the contrary, she who has been with each other for twenty-four years can suddenly become worthless.
She even suddenly felt a little jealous of that girl, and also jealous of Jiang Zhiyou.
They have relatives who care about her and are looking for her.
But she didn't know where her biological parents were, and whether they still remembered her...
However, Qi Jiashu had a completely different mood.
Fireworks were going off in his head again.
Bang bang explosion.
Hehehe, my sister said she wouldn’t blame him.
Hehehe, my sister said he would be a very good brother.
Hehehe, my sister is so nice.
Hehehehehehehehehe.
