☆、109、Explain clearly (3246 words)
Gu Ni walked to Li Yaxi's side
"Your phone is so cool! Which iPhone model is it? It must be expensive!"
Li Yaxi smiled but didn't say anything, her eyes wandering over the dazzling array of goods.
Gu Ni walked beside him, keeping him company.
Gu Bei nudged Cai Wenliang and asked, "Does your brother have a boyfriend? My sister seems to really like him. Why don't we let them give it a try? It's good to have us watching over things."
Cai Wenliang looked at the young master who didn't take Gu Ni seriously at all, and shook his head with a smile.
"He has a very stable partner, and they have a great relationship. If he hadn't been away on a business trip, I wouldn't have been able to bring my brother out at all. You should tell your sister not to worry. My brother and his girlfriend are childhood sweethearts and are still deeply in love, feeling like they're missing each other terribly if they don't see each other for a day!"
Gu Bei sighed, "Sigh... This is the first time my silly little sister has ever taken the initiative to like someone like this!"
Qiu Shuang, who was following behind, looked even more gloomy and frowned slightly as she watched Li Yaxi's back.
The person who came the next day surprised Li Yaxi; it was Tao Zi, who had appeared with Gino that day.
Tao Ling greeted Li Yaxi with a smile, "What a small world! I didn't expect you to be Liangzi's brother. Arno talks about you all the time. I wonder if we'll ever have a chance to race."
Cai Wenliang nervously pulled Li Yaxi close, asking, "What is this? How do you two know each other? Xiaoxi, do you race cars?"
Li Yaxi gently pushed Cai Wenliang away, "Zihao has already read it, so you don't need to read it anymore!"
"So you still know I can read?! I'm warning you, you damn Taozi! If you dare to encourage my brother to go racing, I'll tear your house down!"
"You run a restaurant, not the urban management's illegal construction task force, yet you're demolishing houses! You haven't even threatened to cut off their food supply!"
Cai Wenliang kicked Qiu Shuang and said, "Stop trying to stir up trouble!"
Tao Zi smiled and sighed, "Alas...it seems I won't have the chance to witness the racing god's skills. What a pity."
Li Yaxi smiled but didn't say anything. Gu Bei placed the fruit on the coffee table.
"What kind of racing god are you, Taozi? You're still playing with cars? It's time to find a proper job and start a family!"
"Speaking of Ya-Xi, her reputation as a little racing god is known throughout the industry. It's just a pity that Cai Wen-liang banned her, so we won't have the chance to see her legendary low-slung cornering skills anymore."
"What? Ya-Xi, you race cars? I didn't realize you were so quiet and reserved, but you like something so exciting. That's pretty adventurous!"
Li Yaxi smiled but didn't say anything, and then sent a text message to Feng Zihao on her phone.
Taozi arrived in the morning, and after lunch, she encouraged everyone to play billiards in the afternoon.
When they were in school, they played two or three games almost every week. Since graduation, they rarely play two or three games a year.
Li Yaxi would play with Zihao and Zhan Xiaoyu about once a week, but she wasn't as interested as them, so she just sat on the side and watched them play.
Although Gu Ni, being a girl, knew how to do it, she naturally wouldn't let the rare opportunity to sit with Li Yaxi slip by.
She picked up a notepad, tore off a page, folded it into a paper crane, and handed it to Li Yaxi.
"for you"
Li Yaxi took the paper and looked through it, suddenly remembering the stars he had folded all year, which Feng Zihao had then stored in a safe.
Two years ago when we moved, I saw him hiding it in the storage room like a treasure, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
Gu Ni had no idea what Li Yaxi was thinking. Seeing him accept the origami crane with such a gentle smile, her heart felt like it was melting with a piece of candy.
"Do you like it? I can teach you how to fold it."
Li Yaxi glanced at her, shook her head, and said, "No need, thank you."
He then returned the origami crane to Gu Ni, who looked at him.
"I folded these for you to play with, so you won't get bored. And you seemed to really like them. Or should I fold a few more? I have plenty of sticky notes anyway."
"No"
Gu Ni paused, holding the notepad, while Li Yaxi placed the paper crane on the table beside her.
"I can fold these little things too, though I don't really like them, but my partner does."
Li Yaxi was well aware of Gu Ni's thoughts; if she couldn't give someone hope, she should cut it off from the start.
Gu Ni was taken aback. "Your boyfriend? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Feng Zihao is a capable wife, both in public and in the kitchen; Li Yaxi believes him to be quite virtuous.
"Yes, we plan to get married right after graduation, this year."
The thought of what expression Feng Zihao would make if she proposed to him made Li Yaxi smile involuntarily.
Gu Ni's eyes darkened, and her voice dropped several octaves.
"You two have such a great relationship, but getting married at such a young age will put a lot of pressure on you later."
"Pressure?" Li Yaxi looked at her, puzzled.
Gu Ni nodded quickly, "Yes, marriage means family responsibility. It's not as free as dating. You'll get tired of the daily grind of being together every day. And then there will be all sorts of trivial matters to deal with after that. It'll drive you crazy. It's better to enjoy your youth while you can and get married in a few years!"
Li Yaxi chuckled as she recalled the image of Feng Zihao holding a baby and feeding it a pacifier. It seemed like she could consider in vitro fertilization.
Gu Ni looked at the smiling person with confusion, while Li Yaxi stopped smiling.
"I'm sorry, but hearing you say that makes me want to get married even more. Marriage is just a piece of paper. As long as there is love, all the little things can bring happiness. Besides, I've been with him for a very long time, and we've been living like husband and wife for a long time. That piece of paper doesn't matter anymore."
Gu Ni felt a lump in her throat and her chest tighten. After a long while, she managed to choke out a weak "You love her very much?"
Watching a group of people playing pool and joking with each other not far away, Qiu Shuang accidentally pocketed the black eight, earning a severe scolding from Tao Zi and Cai Wenliang.
"Yes, I love him, so much. We've been together for over ten years, and I never get tired of looking at him. On the contrary, every day that passes fills me with a little more anxiety because we have one less day to spend together."
Li Yaxi turned to Gu Ni and smiled, "You'll know what it feels like once you've been in love. You're a good girl, and one day you'll meet someone who knows how to cherish you."
Gu Ni lowered her head and said in a nasal voice, "I'm going shopping. It's not fun here. Please tell my brother I'm leaving first."
Gu Ni ran out after she finished speaking.
Qiu Shuang saw Gu Ni run out, put down the pole, and rushed to Li Yaxi, asking, "What are you talking about? Why did Xiao Ni run away? Did you bully him?"
Cai Wenliang said to Qiu Shuang, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my brother bully a girl? Why are you rushing in! Can't you talk to me properly?"
Li Ya-xi patted Cai Wen-liang on the shoulder and said, "She said she was bored and went shopping."
"Did you hear that! Don't falsely accuse my brother! Did you eat gunpowder?! Gu Bei, make him some cooling dishes tonight to help him cool down!"
Gu Bei glanced at the doorway, then turned to Tao Zi and shook his head helplessly.
"Alright, let's play ball, whose turn is it?"
Qiu Shuang glared at him and said, "How can you be such a brother? Your sister just ran away like that and you don't even worry about her!"
Gu Bei looked completely bewildered. "This is my home! My sister grew up here. How could she possibly get lost? What are you worrying about!"
Qiu Shuang put down the fishing rod. "You guys play, I'm going out for a walk and see if there are any fun local specialties I can buy."
Tao Zi watched Qiu Shuang leave like that.
"Hey, hey, whose sister is Gu Ni? You've got the surname wrong!"
Li Yaxi got off the chair. "Who wants to play a game with me?"
Tao Zi smiled at him and said, "I wonder if I have the honor?"
"Place the ball!"
Gu Bei and Cai Wenliang left the court and sat down to watch them play.
"Your brother's ball skills are pretty good, he plays a lot, right? Your family are all ball enthusiasts."
"What do you mean, 'playboy'? Don't forget my brother graduated from college at nineteen! That's called smart!"
Gu Bei took a sip of juice. "Yes, yes, smart. It's a pity he's already taken. Otherwise, he would be great to be my brother-in-law!"
"Qiu Shuang is pretty good. I've liked your sister for so many years, since your sophomore year, right?"
"That's right. I fell for my sister the first time I saw her in my sophomore year of college, and I haven't been able to get over it all these years. But my sister isn't interested in him at all. I get so anxious for him!"
Cai Wenliang turned to look at Gu Bei. "As a brother, Qiu Shuang isn't a very good person. He's too selfish, too career-oriented, and most importantly, too slick. But as family, he's not bad. He's been genuinely devoted to your sister all these years. Let your sister consider it; it will also help your career."
"I don't need anyone else's help for my career. Whatever, as long as my sister is happy, I won't interfere."
Cai Wenliang shook his head as he looked at Gu Bei, then drank his beverage. Gu Bei nudged him with his crutch.
"Speak your mind! What's wrong with you being dissatisfied?!"
Cai Wenliang put down his drink. "I'm not dissatisfied. Every family has its own way of getting along. It's just that I wish I could watch over my brother every day, but you, on the other hand, completely let him run wild!"
Gu Bei laughed, "How can that be the same? I've been with my sister for eighteen years, how long have you been with the brother you found halfway through life? They're not the same!"
Tao Zi, dejected, put down her club and came down. "Who's going up? You're quite skilled at such a young age!"
Why don't you just say you haven't played in a long time and are out of practice!
As Gu Bei spoke, he took the cue and walked towards the pool table.
Li Yaxi was very disappointed; Zhan Xiaoyu and Feng Zihao would sometimes even play a few rounds against him. No.
Thinking about how badly my brother's classmate played basketball, and how there was no challenge at all, I lost interest after playing two games.
