Chapter 31: Solo 31: I can only be your sister...
When Song Yu was a junior in college, she began to take over family affairs. Her father wanted to train her, so the eldest daughter was quietly transferred to the grassroots level of the branch company and started as an intern.
The favored girl of heaven shines wherever she goes. Song Yu did not waste the elite education she received since childhood. In just three months, she went from an intern to an assistant to the department manager and began to get involved in middle-level management affairs.
She is really busy. She cannot fall behind in her studies and she also has to devote her energy to the company's affairs. Song Yu goes out early and comes back late every day. Not to mention having a love relationship, even Zhou Ci, who lives with her, can only get up early and go to bed late to wait for her so that he can see her and say a few words.
By the time she was promoted from assistant to department manager to assistant to general manager, more than half a year had passed in a flash. During this half year, she hardly thought of Shen Zhiyan. Occasionally, when the thought came up, she could quickly let it go. Only then did Song Yu feel that she was really relieved.
October 1st was Zhou Ci’s eighteenth birthday, and he became an adult.
Zhou Ci doesn't have many friends, and his birthday wish is to go out to sea on a yacht with Song Yu, just the two of them. It's Golden Week, so they have several days off.
The night before his birthday, Song Yu got off work early and went home to pack his luggage. Surprisingly, Zhou Ci, who was usually either at school or at home, had not returned home yet.
Song Yu packed her things to take with her outing. She was sweating a little and felt uncomfortable. She put away her suitcase and went to the bathroom.
When she came out of the shower and sat in the living room, watching videos and eating fruit salad, enjoying this rare relaxation, she heard the sound of the door opening in the entrance hall.
Zhou Ci came back with a pot of flowers in his hands. The flowers had small white petals and were blooming beautifully.
Song Yu took a look and took a sip of milk: "Going to buy flowers? No wonder you came back so late today, is this jasmine?"
"Well, it looked nice, so I bought it." Zhou Ci held the jasmine flowers in front of Song Yu, "Give it to my sister."
Song Yu didn't think much about it, just shook his head: "I'm as busy as a cow or a horse every day, how can I have time to water and fertilize it? I can only entrust it to the housekeeper in the future."
"No need for a housekeeper, I will take good care of it for my sister." Zhou Ci brought the jasmine back and placed it in front of the floor-to-ceiling window where the sun was shining. He also patiently adjusted its position several times.
He was so cautious and cherished it so much that Song Yu laughed.
She followed and watched Zhou Ci move the pot of jasmine around, but couldn't find a satisfactory place to put it. "You like it so much? Then why did you say you would give it to me?"
Zhou Ci turned around and looked up at Song Yu from bottom to top, "I like it and take care of it because it is a gift from me to my sister."
"Okay! Just give this flower to your sister. She won't think too much about it anyway. But don't give jasmine flowers to girls casually in the future, especially when you don't have any feelings for that girl. Otherwise, it will easily cause misunderstandings." Song Yu patted his shoulder and turned back to continue eating salad.
Zhou Ci turned around and asked, "Why? Because jasmine represents secret love?"
"You actually knew that?" Song Yu was a little surprised.
Zhou Ci's grip on Jasmine tightened slightly, his face flushed slightly. He lowered his head and explained softly, "Sister told me this before."
Song Yu put a piece of cantaloupe into his mouth, not taking the words to heart, "Really? I told you before? I don't remember, but it's good that you know."
Zhou Ci was indeed not the kind of person who would remember these boring things, but because the person who said this was Song Yu, he was willing to keep such little things in mind.
After changing several places, Zhou Ci finally placed Jasmine in the place he liked.
After finishing this, he went to wash his hands. When he returned to the living room, he saw Song Yu still eating salad. He felt a little sorry for her recent hard work. As he walked to the kitchen, he said to Song Yu, "How can you be full after eating salad? I'll go make a bowl of noodles for my sister."
"No, no, I'm full." Song Yu waved his hand. "We have an early flight tomorrow morning, so let's go to bed early today."
She has been exhausted lately and since she has a rare day off, she just wants to go to bed early.
Zhou Ci helped her wash the salad bowl, and the two of them sat in the living room and talked for a while. Song Yu was really sleepy, so they didn't talk for long and went back to their room early.
Before going to bed, Song Yu edited a text message and set the alarm. At 0:00 on October 1st, he sent a birthday greeting to Zhou Ci's WeChat on time.
Zhou Ci was still awake and working when he heard the WeChat message he had specially set up for Song Yu. Without hesitation, he picked it up and read:
[Little friend, congratulations on becoming an adult. Happy 18th birthday! ]
Well, he finally became an adult, which was not easy.
A faint smile appeared on Zhou Ci's lips. Before he could reply, Song Yu sent the second and third text messages:
[Sister is the first person to send you birthday wishes, right? ]
[Now, open the drawer of the bedside table on your right. I've prepared a little surprise for you there...]
Zhou Ci opened the drawer of the bedside table as he was told, and there was indeed a beautifully packaged box inside. He opened the gift box and found a car key inside. Just by looking at the logo on the key, he knew that the car was not cheap.
Zhou Ci rubbed the car keys in his hand for several times before picking up his phone to reply to Song Yu: [When I get my driver's license, do you dare to be my first passenger?]
Song Yu quickly replied: [What's there to be afraid of? If you dare to drive, I dare to sit in it (smiley face)]
[Then sister, please wait a little longer...]
[Yes, I'm waiting!!! I'll wait as long as it takes (smiley face)]
It was late at night and they had to get up early the next day, so they didn't chat much. They said good night to each other on WeChat and went to bed.
On October 1, they flew to Capri, Italy, and went out to sea on a yacht at the pier there.
When you arrive in Capri, how can you not go to the Blue Grotto? This is not Song Yu's first time to the Blue Grotto. She and Shen Zhiyan have been here several times before, but this is Zhou Ci's first time.
When Song Yu pressed on Zhou Ci and they passed through the cave together and entered the blue cave, she saw the light in Zhou Ci's eyes and felt a little proud: "Isn't it beautiful here?"
Zhou Ci just nodded, "Yeah, very beautiful!"
"So happy?" Song Yu's eyes curved. "Little boy, don't smile so cheaply. This is only the first day. We will go snorkeling tomorrow. You will definitely be happier."
"As long as it's arranged by my sister, I'm happy."
"Really? If I didn't bring you here, I would just prepare a meal for you at home, would you be happy?"
Zhou Ci replied seriously: "As long as I'm with my sister, it doesn't matter where I am, I'm happy."
"Are you so easy to coax?" Song Yu said, looking as if she had a headache. "Little friend, you are so well behaved. I am a little worried that you will be deceived by a bad woman in the future."
"If I really get cheated by a bad woman, will my sister be sad?"
"Of course I will. I will beat her up." Song Yu showed his fist in front of him.
Zhou Ci's eyes were full of smiles, "Then sister, please keep a close eye on me and don't let any bad woman get close to me and deceive me."
"How can you rely on your sister like this?" Song Yu laughed.
Zhou Ci stretched out his hand and pulled Song Yu into his arms. "I don't care. I'm going to stick with you forever."
"But you will grow up. When you have a girlfriend in the future, you can't let your sister follow you around, right?"
"Why not? I will never be separated from my sister for the rest of my life."
"That's so inconvenient. You want to have a girlfriend, and I also want to have a boyfriend. But I will keep a close eye on you, just like you keep a close eye on me, okay?" Song Yu was hugged by him, and she patted him gently on the back to comfort him.
Zhou Ci didn't say anything else, but just held Song Yu tighter in his arms.
It wasn't the first day he realized that Song Yu had no other thoughts about him and only treated him as a younger brother from the beginning to the end.
But in this world, the easiest things to change are hearts and minds. There’s still a lot of time, isn’t there?
-
The next day, they went diving.
Song Yu was like a mermaid in the water, swimming around Zhou Ci with incredible agility.
This was Zhou Ci's first time, but with a coach teaching him and Song Yu giving him pointers from time to time, he got the hang of it quickly. After practicing for just over an hour, he was able to barely keep up with Song Yu's pace.
His learning ability was so strong that Song Yu exclaimed, "Little boy, how come you are so amazing? You can learn anything in one go."
Zhou Ci wiped the water off his face and said lightly, "Because my sister is also very capable and knows everything. I have to work hard to catch up with her, so how dare I slack off?"
Song Yu smiled happily, her face seemed to be glowing in the sunlight, "Are you ready? I'll take you to see the fish."
Zhou Ci adjusted his diving equipment and said, "I'll just follow my sister."
Song Yu turned around, dived into the water and sank, with Zhou Ci following closely behind her.
Human beings are too small in front of nature. There are so many beautiful things in this world. If you walk around more and see more, there is nothing you can't overcome. Time will smooth everything out.
They had lunch on the yacht, which was quite late. They caught their own fish, and Zhou Ci cooked the seafood very well. He even carefully helped Song Yu remove the shells to prevent Song Yu from getting his hands dirty.
Although Song Yu is the older sister, Zhou Ci has been the one taking care of her since some time.
Around three or four in the afternoon, Song Yu woke up from her nap and lay in a chair on the deck, looking at the sea view. She was still a little sleepy and a little drowsy, and the gentle sea breeze made her long hair a little messy.
I don’t know when Zhou Ci sat next to her. Seeing that her hair was messy, he leaned over to tidy it up for her.
Song Yu smiled when she saw him, and did not refuse his intimate gesture: "Little friend, you are so kind."
Zhou Ci gently tucked the hair from her lips behind her ear and looked down at her: "Sister, I am eighteen years old now. I am not a child anymore."
Song Yu patted his face gently: "But you are still my brother. In my eyes, my brother will always be a little friend."
"Then I'll be your little friend." Zhou Ci didn't argue with her. "As long as you know in your heart that I'm grown up now and no longer a child, that's enough."
"Why are you in such a hurry to grow up? Growing up has its own worries. It's better to be a child." Song Yu laughed at him.
Zhou Ci looked quietly into the distance: "It's better to grow up. When you grow up, you can do a lot of things." He didn't like being too weak. The feeling of being passive was not pleasant.
After returning, they found a famous local restaurant for dinner. After dinner, the two of them walked along the coastline and walked all the way to the bar street.
It is true that Italian men are romantic and have high emotional intelligence. Song Yu has been pleased by countless handsome guys along the way. Italian men are too sweet-mouthed and say nice things to you as if they are free. Even if you don't have any thoughts, just listening to these sweet words will make you happy.
The two stood at the intersection of Bar Street. Song Yu glanced at Zhou Ci but did not go in.
"Sister, I'm an adult now." Zhou Ci said. He took Song Yu's hand and took the initiative to lead her inside: "You can enter the bar and drink now."
Song Yu was still a little hesitant: "But you don't know how to drink."
"If you don't know how, you can learn. Besides, I have you." Zhou Ci smiled at her sideways, gentle but: "Sister, can you teach me?"
He was so good-looking, and when he smiled like this, people couldn't take their eyes off him. A few foreign girls with cool clothes and hot bodies greeted him warmly from a distance and invited them to come over for a drink.
Song Yu said "Wow" and whispered in Zhou Ci's ear: "Very beautiful, right? The kid is in good shape."
After saying that, Song Yu ignored Zhou Ci's unhappy expression, grabbed him with his backhand, and walked over excitedly.
The three foreign girls had already opened a few bottles of wine on the table and were greeting each other. Song Yu pulled Zhou Ci to sit down together and ordered more wine. Since they were all young people, they quickly became friends.
Song Yu has a good appearance and has been working in the company for so long. He is open-minded and knows how to deal with things. After a few drinks, he exchanged social accounts with several foreign beauties across from him.
She was afraid that the foreign beauty would misunderstand her and Zhou Ci, so as soon as she sat down, she cleverly explained her and Zhou Ci's relationship as siblings. She also brought up Zhou Ci from time to time in the conversation, trying every means to draw attention to him.
But Zhou Ci didn't buy it. Several foreign girls were obviously interested in him, but he ignored them. He just stood by Song Yu with a cold face and didn't say a word. He only smiled when Song Yu talked to him.
Originally, he said he came to drink, but Song Yu drank a lot, but he didn't drink a drop.
Song Yu brought the wine glass to his lips and coaxed him to take a sip to taste it, but he just shook his head, "Sister, just drink it. In a place like this, one of us has to stay sober."
Zhou Ci was very cautious. After all, they were in a foreign country and were unfamiliar with the place. There were many thieves in Italy, and it would be very unsafe if both of them were drunk.
Song Yu hooked her left hand around his shoulder and held the wine glass to his lips with her right hand again: "Then take a sip? Just one sip, okay? This is my favorite wine, and I really want you to try it too."
Zhou Ci lowered his head and said nothing.
Of course he knew that this was Song Yu’s favorite wine, and it was also Shen Zhiyan’s favorite wine.
She stared at the bottle of wine in the wine cabinet at home countless times, and every time she was in a bad mood, but she never dared to drink a sip, and just kept it in her hands carefully. How could he not know?
The mark Shen Zhiyan left on her was too deep. He was in Song Yu's life and in her memories.
Zhou Ci felt a little sour on his teeth, so he took a sip from the wine glass Song Yu handed over.
Song Yu immediately smiled. She blinked, staring at him nervously and expectantly: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
The boy was thin, with a complexion as white as jade under the light. His throat slid gently across his raised neck, making him indescribably charming.
He glanced at Song Yu, then half lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling, his nose straight, and the corners of his lips slightly pursed, like a little puppy who had suffered a great injustice. He obviously wanted to be coaxed, but just didn't say a word. He was stubborn and pitiful.
Song Yu's heart was about to melt. She even began to doubt whether she had really done something against the will of heaven. She changed her words before she said, "If you don't like to drink, don't force yourself. Sister doesn't want you to drink anymore."
Zhou Ci nodded obediently: "This kind of wine is really hard to drink." He frowned, "Sister, please don't drink it in the future, okay?"
"But I quite like the taste..." She stopped talking halfway because Zhou Ci was too depressed, with drooping eyebrows. Song Yu couldn't say no no matter how hard she tried: "Okay, I won't drink it anymore..."
Zhou Ci smiled, like a dragonfly fanning the water or a butterfly startling a flower, making you feel that all the compromises you made for him were worth it. "From now on, I'll help you find a better wine. There's always a type that you like, and I like it too."
"Yeah!" Song Yu agreed. Although she felt something was wrong, she didn't think too much about it.
Zhou Ci smiled again, only smiling at Song Yu. He glanced at the bottle of wine calmly and thought to himself that one day, he would make his sister forget about the bottle of wine in the wine cabinet at home.
When the atmosphere became heated, Song Yu didn't know what was going on. He just knew that everyone was pushing forward. Those foreign beauties suddenly became very excited and screamed once or twice from time to time.
Their table was very close to the stage, and young girls kept squeezing in from behind. The area around their table was full of people, and the smell of various perfumes hit Zhou Ci in the face. He frowned and stood up, pulling Song Yu back and hiding away from the crowd.
Song Yu's protests were in vain. "Little boy, don't pull me. Let me go over and take a look."
Judging from the commotion, there must be a handsome guy or a big internet celebrity coming to perform. I don’t know how handsome he is to attract all the women in the bar to move. Song Yu is very curious.
"Sister, don't go!" Zhou Ci held Song Yu's hand tightly. "There are too many people here. It's not safe. Besides, you've been drinking."
"Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look." Song Yu patted his hand soothingly and joked, "But if he's really super handsome, I'll take him down."
"What's with that expression on your face? Don't be upset. At your age, it's time for you to find a boyfriend, right? If I don't, everyone will always misunderstand that I can't let go of Shen Zhiyan. He already has a girlfriend, so why should I be unable to let him go? I don't want to be misunderstood on this kind of thing."
She pulled her hand away and pointed to the empty table in the last row: "If you find it too noisy, just sit here and wait for me. I'll go join in the fun and be back soon."
"Song Yu!" Zhou Ci called her name for the first time. His fists were clenched tightly, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Huh?" Song Yu didn't react immediately. He blinked several times before asking, "What did you call me just now?"
"Song Yu!" Zhou Ci called out again, his voice clear and articulate.
"You actually called me by my name?" Song Yu opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief. He even forgot to look at Dashuaibi. "And you called me by my full name? I'm your sister!"
Zhou Ci shook his head and said firmly, "I won't call you sister anymore. I'll just call you Song Yu."
"Why?" Even though Song Yu was smart enough, she couldn't figure out what Zhou Ci was doing. She could only ask tentatively, "Did my sister do something wrong?"
"No, you are not my sister. We are not related by blood."
"We've known each other for so long, and you've called me sister for so many years, and now you're telling me this?" Song Yu slapped him on the shoulder angrily.
She had wanted a brother to protect her since she was a child, but she was the eldest in the family. Later, she met Shen Zhiyan, who was a few months older than her and satisfied all her fantasies about a brother.
Then, she wanted a good little brother, but her parents felt that she was enough and didn't want to have another one. This dream became her regret for a while.
Until she met little Zhou Ci, a soft and pitiful little ball who needed her protection and care. He was simply a good brother tailor-made for her.
After finally watching him grow up, he stopped calling her sister and even said they weren't related by blood. And if they weren't related by blood, they couldn't be siblings? How could it be that good?
Song Yu was furious. There came another burst of excited screams from girls on the stage, accompanied by the opening music. It was probably the handsome guy who came on stage. Song Yu was anxious to see the handsome guy, so he decided to let him go for now and come back to have a good talk with him. He left a sentence "Let's talk about it when we get back" and ran to the front to watch the fun.
Song Yu really guessed it right. This bar invited a big internet celebrity who has been extremely popular on European and American social media recently. He never takes off the mask on his face. He has blond hair and affectionate blue eyes. When he stares at you, there are two green springs in his eyes, as if you are the only one in the world. He looks very youthful.
Most of the buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned, and a tie was loosely tied around his bare neck, revealing his bulging chest muscles. He had an explosively good figure, and the scent of male hormones was overwhelming.
With a temperament between that of a boy and a man, it's no wonder so many girls screamed at him.
When he pulled off the tie around his neck in a sexy and seductive posture, gently wrapped it around Song Yu's wrists, looked at Song Yu lovingly, and swayed with Song Yu, Song Yu felt like screaming too.
So cool!
Therefore, Song Yu did not see Zhou Ci's angry face. When he was angry, he became very cold, and the aura within a few meters around him seemed to be frozen. No woman dared to come forward and talk to him.
When Song Yu came back, he was already slightly tipsy. He had long forgotten what he had said to Zhou Ci, "We'll talk when you get back." He just pulled him aside and kept praising him, "Little boy, you're so good! Fortunately, I have you. I'm not afraid of drinking too much..."
No matter how angry Zhou Ci was, his anger subsided when he saw Song Yu like this. He half supported and half carried her back to the hotel, and served the drunk person tirelessly, either handing her a glass of water or helping her get a towel.
When Song Yu lay on the bed and fell into a comfortable sleep, Zhou Ci was still in the bathroom helping her pick up the scattered clothes.
After finishing all this, Zhou Ci sat down next to Song Yu's bed again. Looking at Song Yu who had fallen asleep on the bed, he gently tidied up the hair that was stuck to her lips, covered her with the quilt that she had kicked away because she felt too hot, and tucked her exposed thighs back in. Then he looked at her again.
Such moments are so rare. Zhou Ci stared at Song Yu's sleeping face greedily, not wanting to blink.
Sister, you said I can have a girlfriend now that I'm an adult, right? But I only like you, what do you say?
You can't forget Chen Zhiyan, I can only accept it. Who made him enter your life earlier than me? I can't change the order in which he and I appeared, I can only tolerate him, but except him, no one can take you away from me.
Zhou Ci put his head next to Song Yu's face and rubbed it gently.
I don't want to take even a little bit of your attention away.
I will be angry!
Will be very angry!
My sister can only be mine.
Zhou Ci stayed in Song Yu's room until very late before returning to his own room to sleep.
But fate is so unpredictable.
You never know when a surprise will come to you.
Or frightened!
