Pei Shen spent the whole night thinking about the fact that Cancan didn't bring him food. He didn't sleep at all. When he woke up, he was in a very bad mental state, and his heart was beating like a drum.
After lying quietly in bed for a while, the choking feeling of heart palpitations gradually subsided. He rubbed his heart and yawned when he felt better.
Pei Shen bent down to brush his teeth and absentmindedly counted the number of heart palpitations he had experienced before.
My heart palpitations seem to be getting more frequent lately, from twice a week to almost daily. Besides not sleeping well last night, the main reason is the late nights I stayed up all night preparing for my thesis and chemistry competition.
It seems that I have to take some time to visit Dr. Liu after the chemistry competition.
After wiping his water-stained white hands dry with a towel, Pei Shen picked up the small red box in front of the sink while kneading his sore shoulders.
Pei Shen in the mirror had a pale face and no blood on his lips. He was completely different from the person he usually was when he went out.
He opened the blush that other people would use when putting on makeup, rubbed his palms together quickly to warm them up, and then used the slightly warm palms to blend the blush on both sides. He rubbed for more than ten seconds, and only stopped when he saw that his face was as rosy as everyone else's.
He dabbed his lipstick twice more.
The color chosen is very light, no different from the color of ordinary people's lips, so it is not noticeable from outside.
Pei Shen pursed his lips slightly. It was autumn these two days and the climate was a bit dry, so his mouth was a little dry.
He has always had poor health, suffering from many illnesses, both major and minor, and was often teased by his elementary school classmates as the male version of Lin Daiyu.
When he was a child, his parents spent all their savings on his medical treatment. In desperation, they had to leave him to the care of his grandmother while they went out to work.
But things are unpredictable. Some drunk drivers who didn't take life seriously took them away in a car accident. After his grandmother passed away three years ago, he started living alone.
When people around him found out, they would give him sympathetic looks from time to time, as if he were a pitiful little puppy. Pei Shen always found it funny when he saw it.
What's wrong with living alone?
His parents did a lot for him and sacrificed their own happiness in exchange for his childhood and peace. He has both happiness and love, so why should he feel sorry for himself?
After finishing everything, he put on his headphones, put his hands in his jacket pockets and hurried downstairs to buy breakfast.
The shredded chicken noodles at the restaurant downstairs are amazing. If you go too late, they will be gone.
When passing by the closed door of Qi Sen and Cancan, Pei Shen couldn't help but slow down his pace.
He looked around like a thief, and when he saw no one coming up, he quietly approached the door and listened to the noise inside.
It's already eight o'clock and you haven't woken up yet.
Pei Shen shook his head in disdain.
As excellent as he is, he gets up early to eat and prepare to study, while that lazy Qi Sen is still sleeping in. No wonder his chemistry grades are so bad.
After thinking about it, Pei Shen's eyes suddenly lit up.
Bring them breakfast and let Cancan enjoy a rich breakfast in the beautiful morning. Isn’t this a good opportunity to make up for the mistake!
Pei Shen walked downstairs happily, in a very good mood, imagining the scene of Cancan smiling sweetly at him when she saw the fragrant noodles.
In Youfu Noodle Shop, Cancan picked up a few noodles with a fork and stuffed them into her mouth with difficulty.
Qi Sen wiped her hands and the greasy corners of her mouth from time to time.
"Should I give you a little more face?" Qi Sen asked.
Because I have been with Cancan often these days, I have gradually learned to call Cancan "Fanfan" and "Mianmian" without realizing it.
Cancan shook her head, the noodles at the corners of her mouth hanging on her chin like a few whiskers. She pointed with her little finger and giggled, "Cancan has grown a beard."
Qi Sen nodded slightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
Pei Shen was stunned for a long time after seeing this scene.
? ?
His chance to show his charm is gone just like that?
**
Cancan saw Pei Shen and waved at him like a lucky cat.
"Third brother, eat noodles with Cancan!"
If it were the Pei Shen from before, he would definitely refuse, but now Pei Shen, who understood the lyrics "What you can't get will always make you restless", faced Qi Sen's cold gaze without hesitation and sat next to Cancan.
Don't be too aggressive, you must give in when given the chance. This was Pei Shen's realization today.
Ignoring Qi Sen's cold gaze, Pei Shen enthusiastically pushed his noodles in front of Cancan, "Cancan, eat more."
Cancan tilted her head back, patted her belly and said seriously, "Cancan ate a lot, I really can't eat any more. I'm going to explode if I eat any more."
"Okay, okay, then I won't eat."
Pei Shen turned the face back in front of him, looking in a very good mood.
Qi Sen looked at him thoughtfully.
Pei Shen tried hard to pretend he wanted to eat seriously, but after a few seconds he couldn't bear it any longer. He put down his chopsticks and said stiffly: "Why do you keep looking at me? Can't you let me eat properly?"
"I'm only willing to help you if you give me something. We're all neighbors, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously. Besides, you're Cancan's second brother, and I'm the third brother, so you're my brother. As an older brother, there's no need for you to be so serious with your younger brother, right?"
Qi Sen looked away and said nothing.
Cancan moved a little towards Pei Shen and urged him in a baby voice, "Third brother, eat quickly. Cancan will accompany you."
Qi Sen glanced at Cancan and Pei Shen who were standing next to each other and smiling happily, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Cancan seems to like her third brother very much.
**
After finishing the noodles, Pei Shen was about to go upstairs with Cancan and Qi Sen. Unexpectedly, after leaving the noodle shop, Qi Sen said indifferently: "I'll take Cancan to the supermarket, you go back."
The intention to drive people away was obvious, and Pei Shen rolled his eyes secretly.
In the supermarket, Cancan ran quickly to the shelf and asked happily, "Brother, are you here to buy candy for Cancan?"
She has been really fond of sweet and sour rainbow candy recently, it’s so delicious!
Qi Sen, contrary to his usual behavior, did not answer Cancan's question immediately. Instead, he walked to the cosmetics area and stood on the lipstick shelf.
Cancan raised his head curiously: "Second brother, what is this?"
Qi Sen picked out a mint-flavored lipstick and sniffed it.
Cancan became more and more curious.
I stood on tiptoe and imitated him, sniffing around the shelves. Sometimes it smelled like fragrant strawberries, sometimes it smelled like sweet peaches.
"Brother, are these candies too?"
Qi Sen smiled faintly and shook his head.
"This is called lip balm. It can protect our mouths."
The moment Pei Shen sat down, Qi Sen noticed that the color of his lips was strange.
Some dry areas are as dark in color as if they were painted with lipstick, but the corners of the lips are pale.
Although her cheeks were rosy, she looked listless and in a very bad mood.
After all, he was his younger brother in his previous life, and he had helped him a few days ago, so he had to be nicer to Pei Shen.
When you feel low, you should replenish your energy. Thinking of this, Qi Sen touched Cancan's little head and asked softly, "Cancan, do you want some chicken soup?"
**
"Second brother, can buying a powerful chicken help third brother become stronger?" Cancan pinched her nose, stood on tiptoe in front of a row of processed chickens and asked in a baby voice.
My second brother said this is a vegetable market.
There are a lot of vegetables in the vegetable market, and they are cheaper than in the supermarket, but some of them are smelly. She has to be a strong little princess and not be afraid of smelly things.
Cancan pinched her nose and pulled Qi Sen's arm twice, then laughed: "Second brother, Cancan is not afraid of bad smells!"
After spending a few days together, Qi Sen understood Cancan's personality.
This little princess likes to be praised by others. She will be full of energy and do everything with enthusiasm as long as she is praised.
Qi Sen responded seriously: "Yes, Cancan is great. You see, there are no children coming to the vegetable market, but Cancan bravely accompanies her brother to buy vegetables. She is the most amazing child."
Cancan's eyebrows are curved, her dimples are soft, and her voice is sweet: "Brother, Cancan will accompany you to the vegetable market in the future, so you won't be scared when you are alone!"
Qi Sen smiled and nodded, "Second brother will reward you with rainbow candy later."
Cancan happily hugged his legs, "I want the red one."
"good."
Qi Sen replied, turning his attention back to the row of chickens in front of him.
Black-bone chicken is more expensive per pound than ordinary chicken. However, black-bone chicken has high nutritional value and is suitable for making soup.
Qi Sen doesn't have much money on hand.
Although Cancan's teacher, Master Yanwang, had given him 20,000 yuan as a token of friendship a few days ago, he still had a long way to go. He didn't have time for a part-time job during the second semester of his senior year, and this 20,000 yuan would last him nearly half a year. Aside from spending some money on two sets of clothes for Cancan, they'd been living on a tight budget the other day. The candied haws from the shopping trip were a reward Cancan had been eyeing for a long time before finally receiving.
Cancan was playing with the little clouds on her clothes for her own amusement. She didn't hear her second brother's voice for a long time, so she looked up at him in confusion.
The boss smiled and said, "It's better to buy black-bone chicken for making soup. Although it's more expensive, it's worth it."
Cancan understood what the boss said and said obediently, "Brother, Cancan doesn't want any candy anymore. Let's buy Guigui chicken for our third brother."
From the first day she found Qi Sen, Cancan knew that her second brother had no money after hearing what her bad mother said.
Of course you can't buy candy without money.
The boss was surprised and asked, "Is this your sister? She is so sensible."
Qi Sen lowered his eyes and did not answer for a long time.
Such a cute and well-behaved sister was so miserable that she couldn't even get a piece of candy.
Qi Sen clenched his hands unconsciously.
How could an adult let a child know about their difficulties? He tilted his head and smiled: "It's okay, candy is not expensive."
If you buy one less reference book, you can buy two or three boxes of rainbow candies.
**
Carrying the black chicken, Qi Sen and Cancan walked quickly back home.
Qi Sen was concentrating on making soup in the kitchen, while Cancan was sitting on the sofa, pouring rainbow candies into her palm and counting them one by one.
"Eat one today, one tomorrow..."
Cancan, who was concentrating on counting the candies, didn't notice at all that the fairy peach beside her, which she was always protecting, suddenly rolled twice.
Cancan sorted the rainbow candies by color and put them into different small boxes. She stared at the candies of different colors with her hands on her head and a smile on her face.
Qi Sen asked: "Why don't you eat?"
Cancan swallowed and said obediently, "Today's candy has been eaten up. We can only wait until tomorrow."
Qi Sen smiled, but after he finished smiling, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
After a few minutes, the casserole began to gurgle, and Qi Sen put down his chemistry book and returned to the kitchen.
When pouring the soup into the thermos, a sentence popped up in Qi Sen's mind, and his face looked serious, as if he was taking an oath.
In the future, he must give Cancan and his brother a better future.
At least... I don't have to worry about a chicken and a box of rainbow candies.
After a few minutes, he wanted to take it back.
This younger brother...really deserves a beating.
Pei Shen saw the thermos box and subconsciously asked, "Can you drink the soup you made?"
Qi Sen: ? ?
Before he could finish the words "Give it back to me", Qi Sen's cell phone rang.
He frowned and opened it, only to find a message from Shu Shu.
There were only a few words on it, but they were enough to make him excited.
[Shu Shu: !!! Your movie queen mom wants to see you! ]
