Chapter 7 My dear sister Ru Ru, you don’t have to worry about these things, I...
Song Yu's body stiffened. She was actually not used to such an intimate posture. Shen Zhiyan didn't dare to get so close to her.
However, thinking that this was a pitiful and lovely brother, Song Yu relaxed again and patted his shoulder gently in comfort: "Sister will take over the Song Group when she grows up. When the time comes, sister will bring the entire Song Group to support you."
Zhou Ci rubbed his face against Song Yu's shoulder like a puppy begging for petting, and said obediently: "Thank you, sister, but you don't have to worry about these things, I will fight my own battles."
"You really don't need your sister's help?"
"Really, there's no need. I'll defend my own battlefield." Zhou Ci looked up at Song Yu and said seriously, "Sister, believe me, I can do it."
Song Yu showered Zhou Ci with praise: "OK! Our kid is the best!"
Zhou Ci smiled shyly at her praise. He leaned back on Song Yu's shoulder, the words in his throat rolling over for a few times, and finally couldn't help but say: "I didn't call my sister as promised. Did my sister look for me? Did she..." He paused, "I thought about... I..."
Song Yu didn't intend to lie to him. "At first, I waited for a long time but didn't receive your call. During the Spring Festival that year, I asked about you in front of Grandpa Zhou, but your stepmother said you were sick with a fever and resting at home, so she didn't bring you to dinner. In the following years, I didn't celebrate the New Year in China, nor did I go to Grandpa Zhou's house to pay New Year's greetings. As time went by, I really didn't remember you anymore."
Song Yu looked at his expression and asked carefully, "Will you be angry that your sister doesn't remember you?"
Zhou Ci said honestly, "I was indeed very angry. I thought my sister had broken her promise again, and I had decided to ignore her from now on. But after seeing her today, I realized how much I missed her, and I couldn't bear to be angry with her. Today, she came to help me when she heard my name, which proves that she just couldn't remember me temporarily, but she hasn't forgotten me. So I'm even less angry."
Song Yu felt a little ashamed. Her feelings towards Zhou Ci were just a momentary outburst of sense of justice, a rebellion against the people in this world with incorrect values. She held the mentality of helping if she could and forgetting it if she couldn't.
But Zhou Ci obviously didn't think so. He was too grateful and regarded her unintentional act as a great favor. Song Yu felt that she was not worthy of his innocent heart.
"Actually, my sister isn't as good as you think. She has many bad habits. Little boy, you don't have to over-glorify her in your heart."
Zhou Ci secretly grabbed a piece of Song Yu's clothes and whispered, "But I only have my sister..."
Song Yu held Zhou Ci's face in her hands and squeezed it with a smile: "If you want to play with me in the future, just call me more often. I'm in the second grade at Huayang Affiliated Middle School. You can ask anyone at the school gate and they can take you to me."
Zhou Ci looked up and asked, "Is my sister famous in school?"
Song Yu nodded jokingly, "Yeah, yeah! A little bit!" After she finished laughing, she remembered something, "Oh, right? Aren't you studying in North City? Why did you come to South City?"
"I'm here to look for my sister. I heard she goes to a school nearby, but I don't know which one, so I can only look for her one school at a time."
Ever since he heard the woman casually mention to Zhou Nian that Song Yu was studying on Shengbai Road in South City, he'd been commuting to several schools along Shengbai Road every day. He didn't know exactly which school Song Yu attended, and no one in his family was willing to tell him, fearing he'd hook up with the Song princess and use the family's influence to compete with them for the inheritance.
Zhou Ci could only take the most stupid method, which was to look for the student in every school. If he couldn't find the student, he would skip classes and wait for the opportunity.
He didn't plan to ask the students from these schools about Song Yu's situation, because he was not sure whether Song Yu still remembered him. If she no longer remembered him, his rash approach might cause trouble to Song Yu, and might even scare her.
Zhou Ci had been looking for Song Yu for quite some time, and originally, there was nothing wrong, but then someone reported to Xiao Chen that he had been sneaking around for a while, and they didn't know what he was doing. Xiao Chen, the leader of the poor students in the South City schools, quickly came to his house and asked him what he wanted. He didn't want to cause trouble for Song Yu, so he chose to say nothing, but he was dragged here for questioning.
Just kidding, he was alone today and they had the advantage in numbers, so he was at a disadvantage, but this matter is not over yet.
However, Zhou Ci had no intention of telling Song Yu about these things.
One reason was that he didn't want her to worry, and the other was that in this kind of situation, it was all about who had the harder fist.
He just wanted to become strong quickly so that he would be qualified to stand by his sister and protect her from being bullied, instead of his sister standing in front of him to prevent others from hurting him.
In my sister’s future life, all she needs to do is be happy every day.
He would listen to his sister very much. He would do whatever his sister asked him to do. He would definitely not do anything his sister told him not to do. As long as his sister didn't forget him and ignore him again, that would be fine.
If my sister ignores him in the future, he will probably be very angry. I don’t know what bad things he will do when he is angry.
Song Yu wasted half a day here and couldn't buy a gift for Shen Zhiyan today, so she pulled Zhou Ci and found a restaurant for dinner.
Today is a weekday and there are not many students in the restaurant. While waiting for the food, Song Yu chatted with Zhou Ci.
They talked about everything, and most of the time, Song Yu was the one talking, while Zhou Ci was responsible for listening quietly.
Song Yu has been to many places, both at home and abroad, from north to south, she knows a little about them and is good at telling stories. An ordinary stone, when described by her, becomes the most unique existence in the world, the most perfect gift from nature.
Zhou Ci had no such experience. He had been confined to his home since childhood and had never been anywhere. He had no interest in the places Song Yu described, unless he could go there with his sister in the future. He liked the feeling of being with his sister, and her voice was also beautiful. Even if his sister didn't say anything, just being by her side would make him feel satisfied.
Somehow the conversation got to a point where Song Yu suddenly mentioned her martial arts coach. She looked at Zhou Ci's bruised and swollen face and asked, "Little boy, did your family enroll you in any martial arts classes?"
Zhou Ci paused as he poured water for Song Yu. He put down the kettle, looked up at her, and said nothing, waiting for Song Yu to continue.
"Didn't your family enroll you?" Song Yu explained, "For a family like ours, how could we not have some life-saving skills to prepare for emergencies? I'm learning Wing Chun at the Olympic Sports Center in the east of the city. My master is very good and has won many awards. Little boy, do you want to come with me?"
Zhou Ci was certainly willing to learn martial arts with his sister, so he could see her every week. However, he had little say in the Zhou family, so he couldn't even think of discussing this matter with Zhou Ting'an or that woman.
When he learned Muay Thai, he put in so much effort that he even alarmed his grandfather before forcing Zhou Ting'an to give in. Now he wants to switch to Wing Chun, and he doesn't know how much tricks that woman has waiting for him. The cost is also a big problem. Famous teachers are very expensive. The money left to him by his mother and grandfather is in Zhou Ting'an's hands, so he can only plan slowly.
"I'm not sure if I can go to school with my sister, but I will try my best." Zhou Ci didn't say anything definite because he wasn't sure, but he wanted to be with his sister so much that he would try his best to make it happen.
"Is it about money? Don't worry about the money, sister will help you. My master is a very good person, I can just ask him for help. Anyway, he is teaching me and Shen Zhiyan, so adding you is just a side job."
Zhou Ci blinked, “Chen Zhiyan?”
Song Yu put down his chopsticks and smiled: "Little friend, have you heard of him?"
“I’ve heard of it!”
Zhou Ci had of course heard of Shen Zhiyan's name. He had first heard the name from Song Yu that year. Since then, he had paid special attention to these three words and had also found out a lot about him.
Zhou Ci knew that Shen Zhiyan was the successor of the Shen Group. He came from a wealthy family and had excellent academic performance. His parents had paved the way for his future early on. He was born at the top and his life resume was shining.
Zhou Ci also knew that Shen Zhiyan's name was always associated with her sister's name. The two of them were the golden boy and jade girl of the wealthy family in City B, and everyone liked them.
"He's quite famous in our circle." Song Yu was proud of it and praised him generously: "Chen Zhiyan is a good person. I'll introduce you to him when I have the chance." After a pause, he explained: "He hasn't been doing well recently. He's been angry with me."
Zhou Ci looked at her straight in the eyes: "How could he bear to be angry with my sister?"
Song Yu explained: "Don't blame him, it was my sister who provoked him."
Zhou Ci said seriously: "If it were me, no matter what the reason is, I would not be willing to be angry with my sister."
"Thank you, little friend Aci." Song Yu patted his head soothingly, "Sister loves you the most."
Zhou Ci rubbed his head along Song Yu's hand. His sister might not be very good at coaxing people and treated him like a child, but what did it matter? He was already very happy that his sister was willing to coax him. Knowing that his sister had no intention of telling him about her and Shen Zhiyan, Zhou Ci obediently did not ask any more questions.
When the dessert was served, Song Yu used her cell phone to call her driver and asked him to pick her up.
As Song Yu dialed the number, she said to Zhou Ci, "Where do you live, little friend? I'll take you home."
Zhou Ci reported the name of a community. This community was close to his school, just across the street. The key middle school was also nearby, just across a traffic light.
This house was bought by Zhou Ci's mother when she was still alive, so that he could go to school. She might have anticipated Zhou Ci's future situation, so she wrote Zhou Ci's name directly on the property deed. Fortunately, it was written in his name, and Zhou Ci refused to give an inch, so the house was not snatched away by that woman.
Zhou Ci lived here alone most of the time. As long as Zhou Ting'an didn't call him, Zhou Ci would not go back to that house. The family was happy to have some peace and quiet, and even hired him a part-time maid to come regularly to wash his clothes, cook for him, and clean the house.
The car drove outside the residential complex, and Song Yu got out with Zhou Ci. She looked around the community and asked, "You live here alone?"
Zhou Ci hummed, "It's good for me to live alone. They don't have to see me, and I don't have to see them. It's quiet for everyone."
This community was built not long ago and is a relatively new community. Its gimmick back then was that it was close to a key school district. Now the business is mature and there are people coming and going on the streets, but they all seem to be quite well-mannered, which makes Song Yu feel much more at ease.
"Then you should go back and rest early." Song Yu took Zhou Ci's medicine from the back seat and handed it to Zhou Ci. "Remember to apply the medicine when you get home. Be careful of infection. Do you know how to apply the medicine?"
Zhou Ci blinked, "No, sister, can you help me apply it?"
Song Yu didn't think much about it: "Then come to me in Huayang after school tomorrow and I'll help you apply it."
Zhou Ci smiled. His temperament was rather cold, but this smile really gave him a hint of melting icebergs. Even his eyes were shining. "Okay!"
Song Yu got in the car and waved to him from the window: "Then I'll go back first, kid, see you tomorrow!"
Zhou Ci was a little reluctant, but he didn't want his sister to think he was too clingy. Anyway, he would see his sister again tomorrow, so he held back, "Goodbye, sister!"
However, Zhou Ci broke the appointment the next day.
