Chapter 189 Second Brother's Love
After a night of heavy snow, the unit door was almost impossible to open the next day.
Ai Xiaoxia was particularly excited when she woke up in the morning. She liked heavy snow and didn’t make breakfast. She went out to eat with Lu Jingshen and played in the snow at the same time.
After the two of them had their meal, they came back and played in the snow on the roadside for a while. It was almost time to go to work, so Lu Jingshen sent Ai Xiaoxia downstairs before going to work.
Ai Xiaoxia went upstairs, wrote a shopping list, and went to buy the ingredients needed for tomorrow. After buying, it was still early. Ai Xiaoxia didn't plan to go to the store tomorrow, so she just happened to stop by today and tell Sun Qiang and Fang Lan'e.
When they arrived at the store, Sun Qiang was not there. Ai Xiaoxia put down her things and looked around.
The bulletin board at the door was a little unclear, so she took some chalk and went out to redraw it. After all, this was the only place where Ai Xiaoxia could show off her skills for the time being.
She thought of the sweetness of watching the snow with Lu Jingshen yesterday, and thought of adding a sweet couple's set meal today. She drew it and asked the chef to put together a set.
Because I paint with a sweet mood, the painting feels so sweet too.
After finishing the painting, she stepped back to look at the whole thing.
I just took two steps back and saw a pretty and quiet girl with long hair and a black and white checkered hairpin, reading the bulletin board attentively.
Ai Xiaoxia thought she was a customer coming to eat, so she asked with a smile: "Miss, would you like to have a couple's set meal?"
The girl smiled and said, "No, I just met up with some friends to have dinner here, and I happened to see you painting. I think your painting is great, not just in terms of composition and color, but also in the sweetness in it. Even though it's just a simple drawing, I see that kind of beauty that I long for."
Listening to the girl's comments, Ai Xiaoxia knew she must understand painting: "Because the painting carries my beauty and my happiness, I also hope that everyone who sees it will be happy. So what is painted is my state of mind and my expectation."
The girl looked at Ai Xiaoxia enviously: "I really envy your love."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "You are such a good girl, love will definitely come to you."
The girl sighed, "Maybe the god of love has forgotten me. The man I like doesn't like me back. I spent several years letting it go, but yesterday I received another date from him. I didn't want to come, but my feet didn't listen to my heart."
Perhaps it is easier to confide in someone you don't know. After all, even if it is embarrassing, you don't know them and you won't see them again in the future, so she revealed her true feelings for a moment.
Ai Xiaoxia was also moved when she heard what the girl said. After several years, who could be so short-sighted as to not like such a beautiful girl? It was really a big loss.
She also knew that the other party dared to confide his feelings to her like this because he was a stranger.
So, as a stranger, she encouraged him, saying, "Perhaps there's a misunderstanding between you two? Come into the shop and wait. You're the first one to see my paintings, and I think this sweetness will spread to you."
The girl smiled and said, "Thank you." She didn't know what her future would be like, but this stranger gave her great courage and comfort.
Ai Xiaoxia brought the girl into the store and found her a seat not far from the door, next to the window. This place was at the door, there was no draft, and she could see outside, so it was convenient for her to sit here while waiting for someone.
Then someone brought her a glass of water.
The girl was very quiet. She thanked Ai Xiaoxia, sat in her seat, and looked outside with her head tilted.
After a while, the cup of water in her hand shook. She quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue and then tidied her hair.
Ai Xiaoxia was actually quite curious. What kind of man could make such a beautiful girl so infatuated with him?
She was just curious when she saw her second brother Lin Rui come in. Seeing her second brother, Ai Xiaoxia was very happy and ran to greet him: "Second brother, you are not going to work today?"
Lin Rui saw his sister and smiled: "Well, today is a day off, what are you so happy about?"
"I'm happy to see you, second brother. Let's go to the department store and pick out some clothes for our family." Ai Xiaoxia thought that Lin Rui was familiar with the sizes of his family members, so it would be a good idea for him to go with her.
But Lin Rui quickly waved his hand: "Not today, I have an appointment..." Before he finished speaking, he stopped and looked at the girl leaning against the window. After a long pause, he said to her: "An Ning, long time no see."
The girl had already stood up and was looking at Lin Rui. Her expression was indescribable. There was some nervousness mixed with anticipation, and a little bit of complaint mixed with nervousness, but there was also a little happiness.
She said to Lin Rui: "Lin Rui, long time no see."
Ai Xiaoxia discovered something incredible: the girl she'd just dated might have been her second brother. Could that be the person he'd secretly loved for years but hadn't dared confess his feelings to? Wait, the girl just said she thought the other person didn't like her? What was going on?
A hundred scenarios were already running through Ai Xiaoxia's mind. But none of them seemed to fit together. That girl said she liked Lin Rui, but Lin Rui didn't like her. Yet, Lin Rui kept telling her it was a secret crush. What was going on? Her damn curiosity was surging.
But at least now he has one assurance in his heart, that is, the girl is single now, so the second brother still has hope. She said she let it go, but she still came, which means she hasn't let it go completely. Thinking of this, she felt a lot more relieved.
Ai Xiaoxia quickly pushed Lin Rui and said, "Hurry over there, second brother."
Lin Rui finally reacted and walked to the opposite side of An Ning: "I didn't expect you to come."
An Ning looked at Lin Rui: "I didn't expect you to ask me to come."
Lin Rui didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ai Xiaoxia quickly stepped forward to help smooth things over: "Well, second brother, Miss An, I'll bring you a fruit plate. Please sit down and chat about the past."
It seems that eating right away would delay the conversation. Let's eat some fruit, drink some tea, and chat first. When the time is right, we can serve the dishes. I will try to make them stay here until after lunch so that I can observe them secretly and gather military information for my second brother.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "Okay, then you arrange it." Then he turned to An Ning and said, "This is my sister Ai Xiaoxia."
Ai Xiaoxia didn't want to cause any misunderstandings, so she followed Lin Rui's words and said to An Ning, "Lin Rui and I are siblings from the same father and mother. We were taken away by mistake when we were young, and we were just brought back together not long ago, so I haven't changed my last name yet."
An Ning felt a little embarrassed looking at Ai Xiaoxia, because she thought she was a stranger just now and showed her true feelings, telling her about herself and Lin Rui. She never thought that this person was Lin Rui's biological sister.
She looked at Ai Xiaoxia bewilderedly: "I really didn't expect that you are Lin Rui's biological sister, and you have experienced such a rough life?"
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Although there are regrets about the past, we all have to look forward, right? You guys chat first, I'll go get some fruit."
