Shen Rongrong, who was carried on his shoulders, finally returned to his dormitory after a long journey.
The military dormitory building from the 1980s was a very simple tube-shaped building with a slightly mottled exterior wall. There was a small sports field and a bicycle shed in the distance, and there were tiny cracks on the concrete floor of the corridor.
After following him up to the third floor, he used the key to open one of the dormitories.
The room is indeed a single room, but the layout is extremely simple. The wooden bed exudes a faint smell of wood. The bed is also very small, and the dark sheets and army green tofu quilt look very neat.
The simple wooden tables and chairs were slightly peeling in paint. There was a pile of documents and a few books by the window. When you opened the window, you could see the green trees outside, and there were many climbing plants hanging by the window.
It might have rained yesterday, and the corners of the wall were still wet. Two mini snails were gnawing on it, looking very leisurely.
Shen Rongrong reached out her hand to the window, plucked a swaying leaf, put it in her mouth, and chewed it.
"Pah." It's a bit bitter.
She frowned and turned around, just in time to see Chen Yu, who was stunned for a moment when he saw her action, and then smiled slightly.
"Are you hungry?" He put the things in their proper places and said, "I'll go get some food right away."
"good."
Shen Rongrong sat by the window with a blushing face, casually flipping through the book on his windowsill, still thinking about her own bad luck that would bring disaster to anyone she met.
As he was looking, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the yard, carrying two bags of things and walking quickly into the dormitory building.
"Hmm?" She leaned against the window and tried to look down. She only saw a corner of clothing, but she recognized it at a glance: "That! It seems to be..."
Without even raising his head, Chen Yu replied, "Yes. Your sister."
Shen Rongrong's face suddenly darkened, and when she sat back by the window, her face was puffed up.
After a while, Chen Yu packed up his things, looked at the little girl who was looking out the window silently angry, and approached her gently.
"Unhappy?"
Shen Rongrong raised her eyes, and her angry look seemed to be saying: Nonsense, do I look like I'm dancing for joy?
Chen Yu understood her silent teasing, smiled grimly, moved a stool and sat opposite her. His eyes seemed gentle, but his tone was forceful.
"Shen Yueying is my fiancée, legitimately."
Fiancée? Legitimate?
Shen Rongrong was slightly stunned, her brows wrinkled unconsciously, and her eyes suddenly turned away from the window, not wanting to look at him again.
She could hardly control the pain in her nose, which became increasingly sore and uncomfortable. She bit her lip and asked him back.
"Then why did you bring me back...?"
"Hospitalization is expensive, sister." He answered seriously: "My salary from my position, rank, and service, plus my allowance, is barely enough to support you... It's more economical to move back to the dormitory."
“…”
younger sister???
The blush on Shen Rongrong's cheeks instantly faded and disappeared. She almost didn't hear what he said afterwards. She only heard him say "sister" and muttered mockingly: "Then your salary is really low."
"Indeed, I have been supporting you at the cost of all my wealth. No matter how much I earn, it will never be enough." Mr. Chen said, pulling out a small account book from his pocket and handing it to her: "In short, regarding the hospitalization fees, bed fees, examination fees, hospitalization fees, medicine fees, and nursing fees, I can't let you go until you pay off all the fees."
The first half of the sentence sounded strange, but the second half... I thought it was true emotion, but in reality it was about paying back a debt?
Shen Rongrong, whose hand was stuffed with a small notebook, turned even paler. She could only hear "XX fee XX fee" and wondered how he could say such cold words in such a nice voice!
"I'll leave!"
She was so angry that she stood up and turned around suddenly. Her movements were so fast that both of her braids swung, one of which directly scratched his face, and she walked out neatly!
Chen Yu: Hmm!
Very special experience.
He covered his eyes and slowed down for a second, then ran out of the door with the corners of his lips turned up. In a blink of an eye, he saw Shen Rongrong standing at the door, looking at the identical corridors on both sides of the military dormitory. She couldn't tell which side she came from, nor did she know which side to go down.
At this time, a person came up from the right corner.
Shen Yueying.
The two sisters met each other. Shen Rongrong had a bad expression, but Shen Yueying was surprised and then smiled first: "Sister, I heard you woke up?"
Who is your sister.
Shen Rongrong turned her head and hummed as she looked towards the ceiling, like a proud white swan.
Shen Yueying took a few steps forward... Just like that, the short-statured white swan looked down at her tall and long-legged sister and continued to smile: "You look good, I thought you would keep sleeping like this?"
Most of her aura was taken away in an instant, and the short Rongrong could only look up at her gloomily and ask her as fiercely as possible: "What do you want?"
"Your sister is here to take care of you." Chen Yu leaned forward and said, looking at her frustrated expression, he poked her in the face: "Why don't you thank your sister?"
"I don't."
Shen Rongrong looked at the male dog on the left, then at the female dog on the right, and suddenly turned around and locked them both outside the door!
"This..." Shen Yueying watched the door slam shut and looked at Chen Yu: "She is too willful!"
"Yes, she is beautiful and can be willful." Chen Yu spread his hands: "I'll go get some food first, we'll talk when I'm free." Then he politely left Shen Yueying alone.
Shen Yueying was stunned for a long time by the word "beautiful".
She waited at the door for a long time, not believing in him, but she didn't see him come back. She could hear low voices in the house, but she couldn't tell what they were saying.
Chen Yu is already in the room.
Because the lunch box was locked in the room, he was forced to get his meals suddenly. He could only choose some buns and steamed dumplings, wrap them in brown paper, tie them with a rope and bring them back.
Knowing that Shen Yueying would definitely block the door based on her personality, he did not take the stairs. Instead, he directly put the rope of the bun bag into his mouth and climbed up through the window outside.
The third floor was not high, and he jumped into the house through the window in a blink of an eye. He saw Shen Rongrong, who had been lying on his chest and crying for a long time, and was scratching a cracked edge of his chest.
"I'll... break it." The little snail sniffed and cursed angrily, "You'll have no bed to live in!"
Chen Yu laughed.
I don’t know if the bed is broken or not, she is still as bad as ever.
So he coughed softly: "Hmm."
"You?!" Shen Rongrong rolled over and saw the man who had inexplicably appeared in the room: "How did you get in?"
"This is my room." He put down the steamed buns in his hand, opened the bag to dry, turned back to pour some water in the wash basin, washed his hands and called out, "Come in?"
"I won't eat it..."
"Who told you to eat? Who told you to wash your hands?" He looked vaguely at her little hand that was scratching the bed. There was rust between her nails. "Come here."
Shen Rongrong sat there for two seconds.
I don't know what I was thinking, but I moved closer to him... I watched him hold my hand and wash it in the basin... Recalling the scene of me sitting on his neck and hanging on it, I felt like I suddenly had a father.
The man flipped the white, round little palm in his hand, sighed vaguely after observing it, then rubbed it in his hand, paused, coughed twice secretly, and looked down at her.
"You really won't marry me?"
Shen Rongrong always felt that this man used to be upright and powerful, with a cold look that could kill people. Why did he suddenly become different after waking up this time?
She once again raised her swan-like but not high enough head, and said stubbornly: "Am I not a younger sister? Brothers and sisters cannot get married~!"
