Li Qiran was originally talking bad about Big Brother to Lin Yiping, when she accidentally saw her phone screen light up, and the word "Big Brother" on the caller ID was particularly eye-catching. [Whoever said it was coming! ]
Lin Yiping glanced at the screen of her mobile phone. She didn’t expect Su Shixie to call her at this time. Could something have happened at home?
Li Qiran quickly swiped his finger across the screen and answered the call. His voice was as clear as a bird happily jumping in the forest in the early morning, and full of intimacy: "Brother, what's the matter?"
On the other end of the phone, Su Shixie's gentle and magnetic voice flowed slowly and leisurely like a gurgling stream, and every note seemed to have the magical power to soothe people's hearts and cause ripples:
"Xiao Qi, nothing much, just want to ask how you were having fun outside?" The tone was like the gentlest breeze in spring, carrying wisps of warmth, gently brushing past my ears, making me feel tingling.
When Li Qiran heard this, the corners of her mouth that were originally raised like a crescent moon instantly fell down, she pouted, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears of grievance. She was like a child who had suffered a great injustice, and she complained: "Humph, I was having a good time, but I just met a nasty guy."
As she said this, she clenched her fist angrily, picked up a spoon and viciously poked the innocent Mousse in front of her. Mousse was dented, as if it carried all her resentment and became a substitute for the person who made her so upset.
Su Shixie's concern surged out like a flood, his voice full of anxiety: "What's wrong? Who made my precious sister unhappy? Talk to big brother."
Li Qiran took a deep breath, as if to swallow all the grievances and anger, and calmed down his emotions. Then he began to vividly describe the conflict with Linzhou.
She stood up from her seat, waving her hands in the air, her facial expression changing as she spoke, sometimes glaring, sometimes gritting her teeth:
"It was Linzhou again. He came over like a crab, with a bunch of little brothers behind him. He started to mock and ridicule me and Yiping. His expression was so ugly. If the store manager hadn't stopped him quickly, I would have rushed up to him and slapped them in the face to let them know that I am not someone to be trifled with!"
When she was excited, her cheeks seemed to be dyed by the sunset, slightly flushed, and her chest rose and fell violently.
Su Shixie on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, as if he was choosing his words, and then he spoke in a tone as serious as ice in the cold winter, with a hint of imperceptible worry:
"Xiao Qi, let's not mess with that kind of people. You are out there alone, so you have to put safety first, okay?"
Li Qiran snorted in dissatisfaction, raised his head, and replied stubbornly: "Brother, I'm not afraid of him. He is just a paper tiger with a strong appearance but a weak heart. He looks scary, but he will burst with a poke."
Su Shixie smiled helplessly on the other end of the phone, his voice full of doting: "You are always so stubborn, I really don't know what to do with you, but no matter what, if you encounter trouble, you must tell me first, don't bear it by yourself, understand?"
Li Qiran listened to his elder brother's words and nodded slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, his brows knitted, his eyes wandering, and he was in a dilemma. [Should I tell him about Linzhou's attempt to use elder brother's backdoor? ]
Li Qiran was immersed in her own thoughts. Lin Yiping was sitting opposite her. When she heard her series of thoughts, the milk tea she had just taken into her mouth sprayed out instantly, splashing everywhere.
She hurriedly picked up a tissue to wipe it, her face turning pale and red. To hide her embarrassment, she quickly made an excuse: "I almost choked on the pearl."
Li Qiran was startled by her sudden action and quickly covered the phone with her hand, saying with concern: "Be careful, here's some paper." As he spoke, he reached out and quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to Lin Yiping.
Lin Yiping took the tissue, wiped her mouth, and secretly complained in her heart:...This Qibao is really good at description, he almost choked me to death, I almost had a heart attack when I heard his inner voice.
Su Shixie heard no sound from the other end of the phone, and there was a burst of noise. His heart instantly rose to his throat, thinking that Li Qiran was in trouble. He quickly raised his voice and asked anxiously: "What's wrong, Xiaoqi, are you okay?"
Li Qiran came to her senses after hearing her elder brother's voice and immediately responded: "It's okay, Yiping choked on the milk tea."
Su Shixie then let out a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing, and said, "That's good, you guys continue to play, and remember to be safe."
Li Qiran was as well-behaved as a little rabbit and responded sweetly, "I know, big brother. You have to take care of yourself too."
After hanging up the phone, Li Qiran turned around and looked at Lin Yiping, pretending to blame her: "It's all your fault. You almost made my brother worry to death."
Lin Yiping scratched her head in embarrassment, with an apologetic smile on her face: "I didn't expect it to be like this. Who told you to let your imagination run wild just now, and your inner voice was so loud."
Li Qiran rolled her eyes at her, picked up the spoon again, scooped a big bite of cake and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks puffed up, and she muttered, "Forget it, forget it, just keep eating and don't think about these troubles."
Lin Yiping burst out laughing when she saw her like this. The two smiled at each other and continued to leisurely enjoy the dessert in front of them.
But as Li Qiran was eating, his eyes would drift away from time to time. The thought of Linzhou trying to use his eldest brother's back door kept flashing through his mind. His brows unconsciously frowned again, and it was obvious that he was still struggling fiercely in his heart.
[Should I tell my eldest brother about this now so that he can be on guard? No, no, what if my eldest brother doesn't believe it? Even if he believes it, he might ask more questions. No, my eldest brother is not the kind of person who asks questions. How about telling him? ]
Lin Yiping looked at Li Qiran's thoughtful expression and said, "Qibao, just do whatever you want to do. Don't worry about it."
With Lin Yiping's encouragement, Li Qiran no longer hesitated. She nodded, picked up her phone, edited the message, sent it to Su Shixie, and then tasted the dessert happily.
Lin Yiping was very happy to see that Li Qiran was no longer frowning, and she felt that the dessert tasted a lot better.
…
After Su Shixie hung up the call with Li Qiran, he went to the conference room to hold a meeting and then listened to the reports from his subordinates.
The assistant told him: "Mr. Lin wants to come over today to discuss cooperation."
Su Shixie thought about it, but couldn't remember who it was. His cold voice sounded, completely devoid of the warmth he had when talking to Li Qiran: "What's the name? There are so many people with the last name Lin. Do you want me to guess?"
