Chapter 1456: We will still be the elder sister and the younger brother, okay?
Zhou Enyou looked at his brother in front of him and sighed, "It's a bit far."
Zhou Chenshu stared at Zhou Enyou, "Where?"
Zhou Enyou pulled the man in and shook off his rain-soaked clothes. "She won't let me tell you, so don't ask. She'll come back naturally when the time comes."
Zhou Chenshu said, "Sister, I'm naive, but I'm not stupid. Duxie's business trips usually last no more than half a month, but it's already been three months. With three months, everything should have been dealt with, but he hasn't come back yet. Did something happen? Don't lie to me. You know what I'm talking about. Just tell me everything. If you lie to me, I'll go crazy. There's no such thing as a wall that's impenetrable. I'll know one day."
"Nothing happened," Zhou Enyou answered, picking out the key points. "Nothing happened, really. There was just a tricky spot, and she went over there. It was a little difficult before, and she really didn't have time. Now it's much better, not a big problem. I'll arrange for her to come back later, okay?"
Zhou Chenshu looked at Zhou Enyou, "Really? Is nothing wrong?"
"Really, I assure you, this business trip is indeed a bit long, but don't worry, it's really okay."
"Then why aren't you answering the phone? It's been three months, and you can't even answer a single call?"
"The signal isn't good. I'll ask her to send you a reply later, okay?"
Zhou Chenshu had endured it for three months and was still enduring it. He didn't want to embarrass anyone, especially Liu Shuyi. "So when can you call me back?"
Zhou Enyou looked at Zhou Chenshu's thinner face and said, "Tonight."
Zhou Chenshu came in a daze and left happily.
Children are really simple-minded. Just a word or a piece of candy can make them happy.
Zhou Enyou couldn't bear to watch it.
I called Liu Shuyi.
"You... call him back tonight. He looks miserable and has lost a lot of weight."
Liu Shuyi was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Enyou also fell silent. After a long while, he spoke softly, "I...seem to seldom ask you these questions, because I feel that there is no need to ask. After all, you are a family member. I believe that you have the answers to some questions in your heart and can handle them well.
There's no need to talk about our relationship. I've always felt that you have him in your heart, but now—I'm a little confused, so I want to ask, do you...have him in your heart?"
Liu Shuyi remained silent for a long time.
It lasted so long that their breathing became barely audible.
It was so long that Zhou Enyou even felt that Liu Shuyi would not answer this question.
After a long time, she heard a slight sigh from the other end of the phone, and then she honestly said, "Yes."
Zhou Enyou breathed a sigh of relief.
But then I heard Liu Shuyi say, "But, we are not suitable."
"How could that be?" Zhou Enyou blurted out subconsciously, "You've protected and cared for him all these years. It's no exaggeration to say that besides the nanny, you're the one who pays the most attention to him. You've brought him up like this. I wouldn't trust anyone else with him except you. How could it be inappropriate?"
"He's grown up and doesn't need any care anymore. Besides, I have no plans to start a family. There's no future between us. He'll get used to it and everything will be fine."
Zhou Enyou frowned when he heard this.
Liu Shuyi's view on love is too pessimistic.
"I'll call him tonight. I have something to do. Let's leave it at that for now."
Liu Shuyi hung up the phone.
Zhou Chenshu went home, took a shower, had a good meal, and then did not leave the room. He stared at the screen of his mobile phone, waiting for Liu Shuyi's call.
Zhou Enyou and Liu Shuyi have a good relationship. As long as Zhou Enyou says so, Liu Shuyi will definitely make the call.
Eight o'clock.
Nine o'clock.
Ten o'clock sharp.
A name that had not appeared for three months appeared on the screen.
"Hello," Zhou Chenshu answered quickly. When he spoke, his voice trembled slightly, and his voice was tinged with grievance, but he tried very hard to restrain himself, afraid of really disturbing Liu Shuyi. A good child, always considerate of others, "You..." After a long pause, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked with a choked voice, "Are you okay?"
It was quiet on the other end of the line.
There are even the sounds of insects echoing in the empty night.
"Very good." Liu Shuyi's answer was slightly indifferent.
Zhou Chenshu held the phone tightly, "When will you be back?"
"Not sure yet."
"Oh... then can I go see you... I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you... I've finished filming and I have nothing to do, so I have a lot of time. Where are you? I'd like to go see you, okay?"
"I'm busy here, so you don't have to come over."
Zhou Chenshu's tone suddenly dropped to disappointment. There seemed to be a man's voice coming from Liu Shuyi's side. Zhou Chenshu didn't say what he was thinking, but casually asked, "Who's that over there?"
Liu Shuyi: 'Friends.'
Zhou Chenshu lowered his head and said, "Oh, it seems like I know you quite well."
Liu Shuyi: "Yes, very caring."
Zhou Chenshu pursed his lips and was silent for a long while before he said, "Then I... will thank them later. Your conditions over there aren't very good, right? You have to take good care of yourself. When you come back, I'll make you something delicious, you know? I can cook now, I'll learn to make what you like..."
"Zhou Chenshu." Zhou Chenshu's voice suddenly became silent, and Liu Shuyi called his name quietly.
"Ah?" Zhou Chenshu was not stupid. These conversations made him a little scared. He really wanted to end the call.
But I can't bear to do it.
"Don't bother."
There was another long silence.
Zhou Chenshu opened his mouth, and Liu Shuyi took the opportunity to say, "We're all adults, some things are boring if we talk too much, right?"
After Liu Shuyi said this, Zhou Chenshu's eyelashes became moist.
Liu Shuyi couldn't see, so he hardened his heart, "It's... not a big deal. You've grown up and need to face separation. There are some things I haven't said because I think you can understand them yourself. Three months is not a long time, nor a short time. Can't you understand what I haven't said?"
"I've always wanted to find someone who can take care of me. You know I have a bad temper, so it would be more appropriate to find someone who can understand me. You've always been like a little brat."
"...I'm sorry, I can't wait for you to grow up."
Zhou Chenshu's tears fell to the ground, drop by drop. He slowly opened his mouth, "But, you clearly said... You said that if I am obedient, you will always like me. Are you lying to me?"
"So you're a child. When a woman is interested in a boy, she'll say anything to coax him. Isn't that normal? If you take it seriously, you're just stupid."
"So you don't want to continue coaxing me now?"
"Well, I met the right person and I think this place is better. I want to give it a try, but I never found the chance to tell you. Now that I'm telling you, it's great. We can still be big sister and little brother in the future, okay?"
