Chapter 164 Nian Nian and her brother separate
August 31st, morning, Jiang family.
In the large living room, the whimpering sound like a small animal lingered in the air, lingering in the ears for a long time.
Nian Nian, carrying a small bag of the first batch of "peace apples" from the apple tree, buried her head in Jiang Duan's shoulder, hugged his neck and cried pitifully, "Du, Duan brother, wuwu..."
"Wow, you're growing so fast. I'm only in the fourth grade..."
Jiang Duan, who was almost 1.7 meters tall, stretched out his much stronger arms, tied up the bag of apples that were about to fall apart and placed them on the coffee table, and then wiped the tears of Nian Nian, who was much shorter than him.
"It's okay, Nian Nian. You will be in the fifth grade when school starts, and you will be able to go to junior high school soon." Jiang Duan had just experienced voice change, and his voice was much deeper and hoarse, but the tone he used to comfort Nian Nian was as steady and steady as ever.
Nian Nian listened to this dry fact, and felt that the age gap was even more vivid. She was extremely sad. "No, Brother Duan, I'm in junior high school and you're going to high school. I'm in high school and you're going to college. Going to college will make you even further away from me..."
As he spoke of this, he became more and more unable to hold back, and his eyes seemed to be raining with endless tears.
"There's nothing we can do, Nian Nian." Jiang Duan held up his wet face. "The age difference between us was destined from the moment we were born."
"Or, I'll repeat the grade?"
Nian Nian was unwilling: "No."
Jiang Duan said, "Then we have to go to school separately."
Nian Nian stiffened her neck and didn't look at him: "No!"
Jiang Duan felt the situation was thorny. To be fair, he had never worried about his age since he was a child. On the contrary, he was grateful that he was older than Nian Nian.
Precisely because he is older, he is the older brother, the one that Nian Nian can rely on.
Age helped him take a shortcut in his relationship with Nian Nian.
But now, for the first time, he asked himself: If he were like Xi Zimu and Ji Shuhe, and was the same age as Nian Nian, would everything be different?
Not only will they not separate, there is even a chance that they will become closer or even intimate.
"Niannian," Jiang Duan held his chin with one hand and touched his head with the other, "Do you blame your brother for always being unable to wait for you? Whether it's for school or other things?"
Although the question was a bit profound, Nian Nian sensitively realized that this question needed to be answered with caution.
He nudged himself into Jiang Duan's arms, and after a while he said, "Brother Duan, I'm blaming myself for growing so slowly."
Jiang Duan was amused by his childishness, then fell silent. After a long while, he uttered two words: "Forget it."
"There's no need to dwell on this."
Nian Nian hummed softly.
"Okay, don't be sad." Jiang Duan said, "If you're in this state, I'll be worried when school starts tomorrow."
Nian Nian wiped all her tears on Jiang Duan's clothes, feeling wronged but pretending to be strong. "I'll be good, brother Duan, don't worry. Go to school well and call me more often. Dad told me that cell phones are allowed in your school."
"I will." Jiang Duan repeated solemnly, "I will definitely do it."
Nian Nian had lunch at Jiang's house before asking the driver to take him home.
As he was lazily lying on the carpet in his slippers, Shi Guilin came in from outside carrying a bag of apples.
It looks like it was just picked.
As soon as he walked in and saw the person on the carpet, he said casually, "You're back."
Nian Nian dragged out the tone and made a long "hmm" sound.
Yuanyuan, who was lying on the ground, walked slowly to Shi Guilin's side and opened his mouth to help Shi Guilin carry the fruit bag.
"Be gentle, be gentle. I'm not denying you." Shi Guilin smiled and let go of her hand, sighing, "Our Yuanyuan is in great health. He's still strong and energetic even at eleven years old."
Yuanyuan twisted her butt and put the apple on the coffee table.
Nian Nian was confused: "Eleven years old is very young." He was also eleven years old.
"Dogs are different from humans. Eleven years old is considered an elderly dog."
"Is that so?" Nian Nian didn't think much about it.
Shi Guilin picked some apples from the bag and took them to the kitchen to wash and cut them. Finally, he put them on a plate, brought them back to the coffee table, and ate them with toothpicks.
While eating, he reminded Nian Nian: "School starts tomorrow. Have you put your summer homework in your schoolbag? The teacher will check it."
"It's ready." Nian Nian got up from the ground and picked up a toothpick to eat the apple. "Don't worry, Dad."
"A few years have passed in a flash. You've grown up so much and are about to graduate from elementary school. Have you ever thought about whether you want to go abroad or go to university in China in the future?"
Nian Nian was bewildered, then she said, thinking she was clever, "Wherever Brother Duan goes, I'll go there."
Shi Guilin listened to his answer without comment.
He looked at Nian Nian's cheeks bulging as she ate the apple. Although she was still cute, her baby fat had been reduced a lot, and she looked like a grown-up boy. He couldn't help but sigh about the passage of time.
Yes, after so many years, everyone has changed more or less.
After graduating and joining the company, Shi Linzhuo was trained by Shi Lihan. It took him less than half a year for him to go from being in a state of disarray to being well-organized and capable of handling things on his own.
With someone helping to share the work, Shi Guilin felt a little more relaxed at the company.
At the age of 32, he has stepped half a foot back into the entertainment industry and slowly picked up his acting career.
At this time, he had to sigh that male actors still have a long period of blooming in the entertainment industry. After working hard for a period of time, he has a good development momentum and everything is going well.
"Take it easy, time will heal everything." Shi Guilin muttered absentmindedly.
Just as he could no longer remember the year when he began to suffer from mental illness.
