Chapter 35 Sister Zhu Zhu, what's wrong? [Bonus Chapter for 300 words] ...
He barely spoke a word all afternoon, just kept replying. His language skills seemed to shut down completely when there were many people around. The group went to a food stall in the night market, with Taozi and Zhu Zhu sitting on either side of Ning Buyi.
“Baby, can I call you Jianjianbao? I’m actually a fan of yours too.” Zhu Zhu’s eyes sparkled, a completely different feeling from her cold exterior.
The surrounding environment was a bit noisy, so Ning moved a little closer and responded to her softly.
As the distance gradually shortened, the boy's thick eyelashes drooped, his hair already past his eyebrows, seemingly about to pierce his eyes, and his fair skin with a delicate pink hue was fully reflected in Zhu Zhu's pupils.
Peach took a sip of her drink and said at the opportune moment, "Bamboo, your eyes are practically glued to you."
Zhu Zhu then came to her senses: "I was bewitched by the little boy!"
"But I'm willing!"
This cheeky little darling is just so perfect for her; she can't get enough of looking at him.
Peach glanced at her: "How pathetic, you're drooling like a river."
As she spoke, she put a bunch of skewers in Ning Buyi's bowl. The boy's gaze was so intense that the food seemed to cook over again under his intense stare.
The glasses of beer on the table clinked together. Ning Buyi, with a skewer in his left hand and a beverage bottle in his right, hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, his lips smeared with chili powder.
Oh my god, Sister Peach is so sweet, it's so delicious!
"Sister Zhu, aren't you going to work at your dad's company anymore?" Someone at the dinner table asked.
Zhu Zhu scoffed and casually tossed aside the iron skewer in her hand: "Go ahead, my dad's keeping a close eye on me, that's why I skipped work this afternoon."
Is it easy for her to do what she likes? Her father said that her photography was not a proper job and forced her to go to work at the company. Now she can only do it secretly!
"Don't I remember your brother is in charge of the company now?"
"It's my brother." Zhu Zhu waved her hand, looking like she didn't want to talk about it. "If it weren't for my brother, would I have been able to escape this afternoon?"
She must have bribed a lot of people to escape; she'll be in big trouble if she gets caught.
Ning Buyi chewed on a piece of meat, listening half-heartedly, his eyes fixed on the baking tray on the table. Sure enough, the meat in the pot smelled better.
Zhu Zhu kept chugging wine down her throat, her cheeks puffed up like heavy blush, and she kept spouting crazy things to Ning Buyi.
"Baby, how come you're so beautiful?"
Ning Buyi met her bewildered gaze and shook his head: "I don't know either."
You should ask his biological mother!
"Hey kid, do you have a girlfriend? If not, how about looking at your older sister?"
She was holding up a wine bottle, smiling with her eyes narrowed.
Just as Ning Buyi was about to reply to her, Taozi got up and switched places with him, nudging the drunkard next to her.
"You're drunk."
Zhu Zhu waved her hand and suddenly straightened up: "No! Look, I can stand up."
If it weren't for the fact that she was standing there like an inflatable greeter at a new store opening.
Taozi pressed her down to sit properly and skillfully took her phone from her pocket. Zhu Zhu then clung to her like an octopus, so she could only dial the number and hand it to Ning Buyi.
“Tell her brother to come pick her up or ask for an address; we don’t know the address.”
Ning Buyi didn't know what had happened, but instinctively answered the phone.
"Hey, can you come pick up Sister Zhu Zhu and take her home? Or you can give me an address."
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Yan frowned. Zhu Zhu had gone out fooling around again, this time with a man.
"address."
Ning Buyi said "Oh" and waited for him to return the address.
Both sides fell silent for no apparent reason, waiting for the other to provide their address.
Ning Buyi glanced at his phone; the call hadn't ended. "Why didn't you say anything?"
He heard that voice every day and was so familiar with it that he couldn't stand it anymore. Zhu Yanhe then said, "Tell me the address where you eat."
You should have said you were coming to pick me up! Ning Buyi just mentioned the name of this food stall and hung up.
Zhu Yanhe pushed open the door to the private room and saw his sister waving her hands wildly. He looked around and his gaze settled on the boy in the white T-shirt. His dark hair partially covered his fair neck. When did the two of them meet?
Peach caught a glimpse of him coming in out of the corner of her eye: "You're here. She's had too much to drink."
"Hmm." Zhu Yanhe raised his chin, and his assistant skillfully stepped forward to help Zhu Zhu, who was sitting in the chair.
He kept watching Ning Buyi, who was engrossed in eating. The boy felt someone was watching him, but he didn't look up. He wasn't full yet and didn't care who was there.
A shadow fell, and the light was so dim that his appetite vanished. Ning Buyi then turned around angrily, wondering who was stopping him, the young emperor Ning Buyi, from having his meal.
A familiar face, a familiar mole—he said Sister Zhu looked familiar!
Isn't this his good brother Zhu Yanhe?
"Wishing you peace!" Ning Buyi's eyes flashed with surprise, but then his face hardened: "Don't block my way from eating."
Changing one's expression is faster than turning the pages of a book.
Zhu Yanhe lied without batting an eye: "Minors who are not home by 10 p.m. will be arrested by the police."
Those who were still sober at the scene changed their expressions, and the assistants who were supporting the young lady slowed down, afraid that they would not be able to hear her if they walked too fast.
Everyone looked at the two of them with a complicated expression; only a fool would believe that.
I would rather not change my mind.
The next moment, he stuffed the remaining meat in the bowl into his mouth, his cheeks puffing up like a hamster's, and the words he uttered were also round and loud: "I'm done, I'm leaving."
Zhu Yanhe couldn't help but smile: "I'll take you back."
"Sister Peach, what's wrong?" He asked, noticing Peach's hesitant expression.
She didn't know what the relationship was between Ning Buyi and Zhu Zhu's brother, and it was indeed unsafe for him to ride an electric bike alone so late.
Peach waved her hand and added, "Be careful on the road."
Ning Buyi nodded obediently and followed the tall, long-legged man in front of him. He had ridden in this car several times already, and it was undeniably comfortable. He leaned back comfortably and followed the long-legged man in, closing the door behind him.
"Isn't Sister Zhu drunk and going to sit with us?" Ning Buyi asked, blinking.
Zhu Yanhe pulled out a tissue from the middle and said calmly, "The seat belt can prevent her from hurting people."
He gently wiped the corner of Ning Buyi's mouth with a tissue, then held Ning Buyi's chin with one hand, the chili powder sticking to the tissue bit by bit with the movement.
"tasty?"
Ning, unable to move her head, answered for him with her fluttering eyelashes: "Delicious, even better than takeout."
The boy's cheeks were wiped clean, but Zhu Yanhe didn't stop, still wiping away the nonexistent stuff: "Is this tastier or the crab from last time?"
Ning Buyi pondered the words carefully and made a comparison: "This is also quite delicious, but the crab is even better."
"I'll take you out to eat in a couple of days." Zhu Yanhe withdrew his hand and leaned back into the leather seat.
"Zhu Yan, you're so good to me, my good brother, hehe." Ning Buyi smiled broadly, his eyes crinkling.
He closed his eyes and didn't answer. Fuck you, brother.
The next day, Ning Buyi was photographed wearing formal socks. He was dressed in a little boy's uniform, with his hands on either side of his thighs.
Zhu Zhu sat next to him, blowing on the camera with a worried look on her face. Ning Buyi tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Zhu Zhu?"
"I accidentally touched the sensor just now, and I'm afraid I'll break it." She carefully cleaned the fingerprints off the lens before replying, making sure it was clean.
"Oh, this must be very expensive."
Zhu Zhu put the lens cap on and set the camera aside: "It's not expensive, but it's my only camera. I saved up money to buy it. Before, I was always watched when I spent money and wasn't allowed to buy these things, so I cherish it very much."
"I also saved up money to buy a phone!"
Her eyes were shining. Ning Buyi felt the same way. His precious little phone back then was also saved up little by little. He missed it!
Ning Buyi rubbed against his owner like a little puppy with bright eyes.
Zhu Zhu reached out and pinched his cheek: "Baby, how can you be so lovable?"
Ning Buyi and Zhu Zhu's studio had a five-day work commitment. He spent the afternoons in the studio these past few days, so Li Chang could only see him during the day and at night.
Today he was wearing a maid uniform, with black thigh-high stockings and a leather belt tied around his thighs, revealing a bit of his thigh flesh peeking out from the gap.
Zhu Zhu, with half her face hidden behind the camera, praised generously, "Excellent! You're in great shape today, my dear!"
He stood on tiptoe with his hands between his legs, supporting himself on the blanket, and the praise made him a little embarrassed.
The shop door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang," startling everyone present.
"Zhu Zhu! What are you doing here!" A furious shout startled Ning Buyi. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man with half black and half white hair. His eyebrows were furrowed and his face was full of anger. He was accompanied by two people dressed in black. It was quite frightening.
"Dad?" Zhu Zhu turned around and froze in place, only managing to keep her camera from falling to the ground because of the strap.
The middle-aged man took two quick steps: "You're not at work, and you're messing around with all this nonsense. What are you trying to do? Can't you learn from your brother!"
Zhu Zhu didn't speak; her hair fell to the side of her face, obscuring her expression. Ning Buyi remained seated, too afraid to move.
"Look at the kind of friends you have. They have such weird hair, and they dress like you. And you, are you a man or a woman?" He pointed at them one by one, stopping in front of Ning Buyi.
Huh? Him?
"I am--"
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking. The middle-aged man, panting, pointed at him and said, "A man wearing a skirt—you're the ones who are corrupting social morals!"
Ning Buyi felt a lump in his throat. What did it have to do with him that the man was wearing a skirt? But because he was Zhu Zhu's father, he couldn't say anything.
After criticizing Ning Buyi, he turned his attention to Zhu Zhu.
"What kind of shady friends do you have? If you were half as good as your brother, you'd make my life easier—"
At this moment, Zhu Zhu's mind was filled with water, and all the words she heard were blurred into her ears.
Her brother, it's her brother again.
From a young age, Zhu Guanghai always talked about her academically excellent older brother. Nothing she did was good enough. She could only follow her brother's growth trajectory, like a mold. Any extra parts of Zhu Zhu had to be cut off and completely carved in.
Why should she be like Cinderella's stepsisters, insisting on wearing shoes that don't belong to her?
Zhu Zhu suddenly shouted, "My brother! My brother! Do you even acknowledge him now? You forced him into this situation!"
Her body heaved as she roared, causing a rapid loss of oxygen to her brain.
Ning Buyi's pupils suddenly contracted.
With a sharp "smack," half of the girl's face was turned to the side. Her shoulders shrugged, and the strap on her arm slipped, causing her to fall straight to the ground, her glasses shattering on the side.
With a cracking sound louder than a slap, Zhu Zhu suddenly lowered her head. The surroundings froze for a moment, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with only the man's rapid breathing remaining.
