dinner.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was weird.
Xiao Yingzhi said nothing, but still picked up some food for Xiao Siyun.
Xiao Qilin looked at Xiao Yingzhi's condition and wanted to say something but stopped himself several times.
He looked at Chen Tong who was eating silently, swallowed his words, and just told Xiao Yingzhi to go to the study after dinner.
Xiao Zeyun didn't even come down to eat.
Xiao Siyun asked people to call him several times, but he ignored them.
After dinner, while the father and son were "plotting" in the study, Xiao Siyun knocked on Xiao Zeyun's door.
The door quietly opened a crack, and an eye was looking at her through the crack.
Xiao Siyun squeezed in with a big bowl of rice, "Let me in."
Of course Xiao Zeyun would not refuse his sister, so he asked her to come in and sit on the bed.
His room was a mess, unlike his sister's room which was cleaned regularly, so there was really no place to stay.
Xiao Siyun also disliked his bed, so he found a clean quilt cover and pulled it over to sit on.
She asked with disdain, "Dad said he would take me back to my hometown the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"
Xiao Zeyun just sat cross-legged on the ground. He paused while eating his rice and raised his resentful eyes.
"Is Xiao Yingzhi going too?"
"Of course we have to go as a family. Dad said he wants to tell our ancestors that I'm back."
"He was the one who lost you, and he still has the nerve to go? His ancestors will curse him to death!"
"So are you going or not?"
"Of course I'm going. I won't let him gossip about me in front of our ancestors."
He chewed a few mouthfuls of rice resentfully, and Xiao Siyun thought to himself that Xiao Yingzhi would not be as petty as you.
"Then go tell Dad."
"You help me speak."
"I don't want it. You said it yourself. He is in the study, which is right next to you."
Xiao Siyun jumped down and went straight out.
Xiao Zeyun was not a shy person. He finished his meal in a few bites and came to the study. As soon as he put his hand on the door handle, he heard deliberately lowered conversation coming from inside.
"You are the eldest brother, give way to him more."
"I've had him for years."
"He didn't do it on purpose. He was just too shocked. He's not in a good state. You know that."
Xiao Yingzhi held his breath.
"He lost his sister, but I didn't?"
"Because you lost your sister and can't accept it, you imagine that I lost her and put the blame on me and blame me?"
Xiao Qilin sighed, feeling both distressed and helpless, his palms and backs of his hands were all flesh.
"Dad knows you're feeling uncomfortable."
"But there's nothing we can do about it. We tried to correct it when he was a kid, but the doctor said we couldn't stimulate him that much anymore."
"Now that Si Yun is back, let's see if he will get better."
Xiao Yingzhi was silent for a while, but finally endured it and said:
"Aside from the arguments with me, everything else is fine. He usually stays with his sister. He seems more stable and has a better temper than before."
Xiao Qilin finally felt a little relieved, "That's good, that's good, then you see..."
Xiao Yingzhi let out a long sigh.
This is how it has been for so many years.
Xiao Zeyun always emphasized that he was the culprit.
Even though he was not convinced in his heart, over the years he would sometimes take the responsibility out of habit.
But sometimes Xiao Zeyun said something too much and he couldn't help but argue with him.
Fortunately, my sister is back now. She is kind and lovely, and has never resented anyone.
As long as my sister is healthy and happy, that's all that matters.
"I see."
In the end, the boss had to endure this humiliation...
Xiao Qilin tried his best to comfort his eldest son.
"Thanks to you, Yingzhi, you are a good brother."
"They are still young, and I am getting older. In the future, both the family and the company will definitely rely on you."
"You have to hold on!"
Xiao Yingzhi also knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he nodded silently and worried secretly.
After hearing all this, Xiao Zeyun stood outside the door as if struck by lightning.
Memories flashed through my mind, and the scene of my sister getting lost replayed frame by frame.
The little boy holding his sister's hand changed his face again and again, sometimes it was Xiao Yingzhi's, sometimes it was his own.
His defenses gradually broke down and he had a splitting headache.
At this time, Xiao Siyun's voice sounded behind him.
"You haven't gone in yet?"
"Then do you want to drink the soup before going in?"
She brought another bowl of steaming stew.
For fear of disturbing the two people in the study, he deliberately lowered his voice.
She moved slowly to his side and put her head close to eavesdrop.
"What are they whispering about in there?"
She didn't pay much attention to Xiao Zeyun's condition.
In fact, she knew that Xiao Zeyun had some psychological problems due to the trauma of his childhood.
But in reality, we don’t know when and why he will have an attack, and what he will look like when he has an attack.
But as soon as he saw her, Xiao Zeyun's memory became clear instantly.
In my memory, he held my sister's hand and took her to buy a bubble machine.
But there were too many people in the playground, and so many people were bumping into each other that he accidentally let go of his sister's hand.
He turned around and looked at his sister standing alone in the crowd of people coming and going. She was afraid and tried not to cry, but was still looking around for him.
But soon, his sister disappeared from his sight. He wanted to squeeze between the adults' legs, but he couldn't reach his sister.
He lost his sister...
Not Xiao Yingzhi...
Not Xiao Yingzhi...
All of this was hard for him to accept, and his eyes gradually became hot and red.
It turned out that he had been wrongly blaming Xiao Yingzhi for so many years.
It turned out that I was the one who lost my sister, not him...
He was immersed in the shock of the truth being revealed, but what he didn't expect was that he thought he would cry and make a fuss, or push the door open to confront them.
But he only felt his face suddenly get cold. He raised his hand to wipe it, and then he realized that he was crying silently.
"It's me...it's me..."
He muttered to himself, looking blankly at Xiao Siyun who was looking back at him in surprise.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Siyun couldn't believe it. "Why are you crying all of a sudden?"
Xiao Siyun's voice accidentally became a little louder, and the people in the study finally noticed it and made some noise.
Xiao Zeyun's first reaction was to run away. When he hurriedly turned around to leave, he accidentally bumped into Xiao Siyun's shoulder.
Xiao Siyun exclaimed softly and bumped into the wall slightly, but fortunately he managed to protect the soup and prevent it from spilling.
Xiao Zeyun had already walked a little further away and turned around to see his sister trying hard to save the bowl of soup in her hand.
He was about to walk back, but the next second, Xiao Yingzhi leaned half of his body out of the study and helped take the bowl from his sister's hand.
Xiao Yingzhi looked up at him, and Xiao Zeyun suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. He turned his head and ran downstairs quickly.
Xiao Siyun also felt puzzled.
"What is he doing again?"
