As Jiang Sheng looked, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Changgui's retreating figure as he turned and left.
Although it was only for a moment, Zhou Changgui's figure disappeared.
However, Jiang Sheng still recognized the figure among them.
If he wasn't mistaken, wasn't that person Zhou Changgui?
Jiang Sheng's expression turned sour. Just as he looked away, he met Zhao Xuehui's curious gaze.
"Little brother, what were you looking at just now? You couldn't even hear me talking. I called you several times."
After saying that, Zhao Xuehui followed Jiang Sheng's gaze with great curiosity and looked towards the door.
There were only a few pedestrians coming and going at the entrance of the coffee shop, and none of them were people Zhao Xuehui knew.
She looked away, somewhat puzzled, only to see Jiang Sheng shrug at her.
"It's nothing, I just saw a familiar figure, probably a classmate of ours, but I didn't have a chance to say hello."
Jiang Sheng casually made up an excuse, and Zhao Xuehui didn't suspect anything. Without thinking much, she subconsciously nodded.
"Oh, I see. Is she a very pretty young girl? I noticed you were completely captivated just now!"
Zhao Xuehui's words carried a hint of bitterness, though she herself was unaware of it. She simply felt a little sour and subconsciously picked up her milk tea cup and took a sip.
Jiang Sheng glanced at Zhao Xuehui, then suddenly chuckled and teased her, "Second sister, why do I feel like there's a sour smell in your voice? It's so strong, you're jealous, aren't you?"
"Who...who's jealous?!"
Zhao Xuehui's face suddenly turned red. She glared at Jiang Sheng angrily, and her words became somewhat incoherent.
"Let me tell you, don't take advantage of me being your older sister to make jokes like this all the time. If I can't get married in the future, are you going to support me?!"
"Of course, no problem."
Jiang Sheng, however, looked quite serious and nodded earnestly to Zhao Xuehui: "If you really don't want to marry another man, there aren't many men as outstanding as your little brother. I'll definitely keep you hidden away and not let any other man touch you!"
Jiang Sheng's tone was half teasing and half serious.
As Zhao Xuehui listened and looked at the other person, her serious expression momentarily froze, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous. Jiang Sheng looked at his second sister, whose face was flushed red and who didn't know how to answer him. The more he looked at her, the cuter she seemed, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright, Second Sister, I was just joking with you. A girl as beautiful as you must have suitors lining up from your workplace all the way overseas!"
Seeing the smile on Jiang Sheng's face, Zhao Xuehui breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she felt a little disappointed. She then glared at him unhappily.
"Look at what you're saying! My suitors could circle the earth several times over, and you're making it sound like a tiny fraction!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Second sister, you are the most beautiful. Anyone who sees you will praise you as a beauty!"
Jiang Sheng's praise made Zhao Xuehui chuckle involuntarily, and her mood improved considerably. However, she still suppressed the disappointment in her heart and casually changed the subject, ignoring that trace of emotion.
The siblings spent half the afternoon in the coffee shop, and didn't leave until after 6 p.m.
We had agreed to watch a movie that night, and it was a horror movie, "The Haunted Cop Shop".
When Jiang Shenggang started talking about the movie, Zhao Xuehui grabbed his arm with great interest and led him towards the ticket booth.
"My colleague said this movie is really good. Although it's scary, the plot is hilarious. I finally have a chance to see a movie today, so little brother, you better not get scared!"
Seeing Zhao Xuehui's bright smile, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but smile too, and deliberately teased her.
"Second sister, I might not be scared, but you are. This movie is funny, but it's also a little scary. Don't be so frightened that you want to burrow into my arms!"
It was rare for Jiang Sheng to joke with Zhao Xuehui in such a dramatic way. Zhao Xuehui glared at him fiercely, but although she spoke harshly, she didn't seem angry at all.
"You little rascal, you're getting more and more outrageous every day. You even dare to make jokes like this with your second sister. If anyone gets scared and cries, they'll have to treat everyone to a week's worth of meals, and they can't back out. They'll have to let the other person place the order!"
Seeing Zhao Xuehui raising her delicate chin and making a cute bet with him, Jiang Sheng smiled and nodded, agreeing without saying a word.
"Of course, no problem."
Zhao Xuehui chuckled and said, "Anyway, I will never cry. If anyone's going to cry, it'll be you. Just don't be so scared that you burrow into my arms and take advantage of your second sister!"
Jiang Sheng glanced at his second sister, Zhao Xuehui, who had a smug smile on her face, but remained silent and did not expose her.
In his previous life, he remembered that his second sister was very timid.
Don't be fooled by his seemingly carefree attitude and nonchalant demeanor.
In reality, my second sister is more timid than anyone else. Even when she worked overtime and came home late at night, she would never have dared to go home alone if there hadn't been streetlights on the road.
If she didn't know she had memories of her past life, her second sister could really fool her.
But things are different now.
Having thought of this, Jiang Sheng wore a confident smile, but did not say anything to Zhao Xuehui in a fit of pique at this moment.
Anyway, my second sister is definitely going to lose today. The more I say now, the more she will "complain" about me later, given her personality.
Seeing Jiang Sheng's silent smile, Zhao Xuehui persisted.
"Hey little brother, you've been smiling and not saying a word, are you hiding some wicked idea?"
Jiang Sheng quickly shook his head and waved his hands, his survival instincts kicking in.
"No, no, second sister, you've really misunderstood me. I just think that I might be brave but actually timid. I'll find out once I get to the movie theater. Who knows, this movie might actually be really scary. I'll be counting on you to protect me then, second sister, don't you agree?"
