Shi Jin closed his eyes and said in a neither light nor heavy tone: "Focus, don't look around."
"......oh."
He looked aggrieved, as if he had been abused by someone.
Shi Jin opened his eyes and sighed for a long time: "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Hey? Good, good, good!"
Time simply stepped on the brakes and stopped the car.
Pulling the handbrake, she turned her head and looked Shi Jin up and down with her laser-like eyes: "Brother, you look so beautiful in this outfit! I've always said that I have good taste, this dress is a perfect match for you!"
"I tell you, if you go out in your current state, you will definitely be discovered by a scout and become a big star!" Time flew by, his eyes rolled around, and he took out a mobile phone from his pocket, trying to take a few photos quickly before his brother could react.
Shi Jin had a headache because of her voice. He pinched his forehead and interrupted the rainbow fart: "Tell me, what are you going to do this time."
Shijian sat up straight with his hands neatly placed on his legs: "It's nothing..."
"Then take me back."
"No, no, no, actually I have something to do." Shi Jian blinked twice quickly, his movements a little awkward: "Well, I want to go abroad."
Unlike what Shi Jin expected, Shi Jin's reaction was very calm. He nodded: "What's the reason?"
"Brother, you know I like fashion design, but my style is a little... well, it's a little different from the domestic academic style. I talked to my teacher a few days ago, and he suggested that I go to a fashion school abroad to study for a while..."
Shi Jin nodded: "Okay."
"I'll be out for about half a year, I'll be back soon - eh?" Shi Guang's eyes widened: "Brother, do you agree?"
"Well, except for Country A." Shi Jin tilted his head to avoid Shi Shi's gaze: "Okay, let's drive. I have some inspiration and I have to go back to fill in the gaps."
"Okay, I definitely won't go to Country A." Shijian started the car quickly, a little curious: "Brother, what is the subject of your novel this time? Why do you need to wear a skirt and come to the bar to find inspiration?"
As sleepiness gradually filled his brain, Shi Jin closed his eyes and lowered his voice: "...You will know when the time comes."
"Oh, then I'll be waiting!"
Time responded happily, without further questioning, and drove her car seriously.
Her brother has never had any desires for anything except writing novels. When he was stuck in a writer's block, he did a lot of strange things to find inspiration.
So when Shi Jin called her tonight and said he wanted a piece of women's clothing and a wig that he could wear, Shi was so excited that she had no other thoughts. The only thing in her mind was that she could see her brother wearing women's clothing.
She waited all night and finally saw her brother wearing women's clothes.
Besides...
Time quietly touched his phone and smiled even more happily.
And her brother promised her to go abroad!
Ever since my parents encountered a plane crash on a flight heading abroad many years ago, my brother has become particularly sensitive to the word "going abroad".
I originally thought that she would need to say a lot more, but unexpectedly, her brother agreed as soon as she opened her mouth.
The time was happy but also a little sad.
Before she had time to sort out her complicated emotions, the car had already driven downstairs.
Shijian stopped the car, turned his head to look at the passenger seat, and called softly, "Brother, we're here. If you're sleepy, go back to sleep. It's easy to catch a cold in the car."
Shi Jin opened his eyes and stared quietly at the ornaments in front of the passenger seat without saying a word.
Time has long made her accustomed to her brother's habit of being dazed as soon as he wakes up.
She shrugged, got out of the car and took the things out of the trunk.
By the time she got her things, Shi Jin had just woken up from her daze.
He lowered his eyes and got out of the car to help Shi Guang carry his things.
Shi Jian avoided his hand and stuffed a black umbrella into Shi Jin's arms: "No, you should hold the umbrella. The sun is coming out now. I can still carry these little things."
Shi Jin has a mild allergy to ultraviolet rays. When exposed to the sun, his whole body turns red. The symptoms are not serious, but they are also annoying.
Therefore, whenever Shi Jin appeared, she would habitually prepare a few black umbrellas, for fear that her brother, the "last Princess and the Pea of the 21st century", would be burned by the sun.
Shi Jin took the black umbrella and opened it, then used his free right hand to take the thing in Shi Shi's hand.
This time, Shi Jian didn't refuse. He divided a few bags and handed them to him: "By the way, brother, didn't you say before that you wanted to move? I saw a suitable one today, right on Bar Street."
She smoothed her messy hair and continued, "There's a breakfast shop and a bookstore downstairs. The house is big, with all the basic amenities like a bedroom, study, and balcony. It's just a duplex suite, so you need to share the rent with the owner."
"I also asked the owner of the house. He is a young man. He is said to be very clean and has no bad habits. He will not bring anyone back home. The reason for renting it out seems to be that he does not need the lower floor."
As they were talking, they had already walked to the elevator. Shi Jian took two quick steps and pressed the elevator button. "If there's anything wrong, it's probably that the owner's schedule seems a bit messy. He often goes out at night and is only home during the day."
"bite--"
The elevator door opened in front of me, and soft light spilled out from the elevator room.
Shi Guang watched her brother walk in and press the button: "But it shouldn't matter much. Your rest time is staggered. He won't disturb you if he goes out when you sleep at night. He comes back to sleep during the day. He lives upstairs, so you can't disturb him if you live downstairs."
"What do you think? If you think it's okay, I'll give you the guy's contact information and you can go with him to look at the house when you have time."
...share a house?
Shi Jin paused while typing the password.
"......You should get in touch with more people. Everything about your writing is good, except for the emotional development, which is a bit stiff. It's okay when the protagonist is writing a single line, but once the emotional line is involved, it will be a bit out of place. I suggest you go out more or make more friends, maybe it will help you."
The editor's words flashed through his mind and he lowered his eyes.
After a while, Shi Jin opened the door and said, "Give me the contact information. I'll go check it out in a couple of days."
"Okay, I'll send you a message on WeChat later." Shijian threw his things on the sofa and collapsed on it. "Brother, I'll sleep at your place tonight."
"Well, the guest room has been cleaned." Shi Jin took off his wig and walked towards the bathroom in the room: "There is another bathroom next to the kitchen, you can use that one."
Shi Jian lazily lay on the sofa, hugging the pillow and humming twice: "Okay, don't worry about me, go to bed early, I can make my own arrangements."
As a result, she arranged it directly for the next day.
The dazzling sunlight came through the gaps in the curtains, which were never drawn tightly, and Time turned over in his arms, hugging the blanket.
"Ouch."
The pain from her buttocks touching the floor instantly made her sleepiness disappear. She covered her buttocks and crawled up from the ground, throwing the blanket that had appeared on her without her knowing when back onto the sofa.
The huge living room was deserted at the moment. Shi Guang scratched his head and went to take a look at the master bedroom first.
Sure enough, the quilt was neatly made, without a single sign of having been slept on.
She glanced at the closed door of the study and shook her head.
My brother must have been writing all night last night.
Once he gets an inspiration, he will enter a state of forgetting to eat and sleep, and no one can wake him up.
Time was very conscious of being a good sister who was doing the best she could. After quickly washing up, she went downstairs in her slippers to buy breakfast for her dear brother.
What to buy?
My brother has stayed up all night, so his appetite must not be very good. How about buying him some porridge?
But wouldn’t drinking porridge be a bit monotonous?
Time held her wallet in her hand, humming a song as she stopped in front of a breakfast stall selling porridge: "Boss, I'd like some golden pumpkin porridge, and a steamed egg."
The boss of the breakfast stall was serving porridge with quick movements: "Okay, girl, do you want to take it away or eat it here?"
Shijian was rummaging through the change in his wallet. Hearing this, he didn't even raise his head. "Pack it up. And give me a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, too."
"Miss, what a coincidence, do you live here too?"
An excited voice came from my ear.
