Everyone did not understand the meaning of those four words, waiting for his explanation.
He glanced at the little girl beside him with his neck raised, glanced open, and lowered his eyes slightly, "I mean... Jiang Shaowen is not a pet girlfriend."
After waiting for a long time, it turned out to be a rant.
Li Shaozhou patted the table and laughed, "Hahaha, Brother Yi, is this a cold joke?"
Shi Yi smiled but didn't say a word, put away the phone, "I don't play anymore."
A little girl's well-behaved voice came from the side, "I'm done eating."
Jiang Mi'er also put down the bowls and chopsticks, "I'm full too."
Yu Zhi wiped his mouth and asked, "Do you want to go back to the video game city next?"
Jiang Mi'er raised his hand excitedly, "Of course, I haven't had a showdown with Li Shaozhou yet!"
The four discussed it and decided to go back and play for a while.
Jiang Mi'er and Li Shaozhou went straight to the "decisive battle" area, and Shi Yi took Yu Zhiyi directly to a row of doll machines.
"Let's play with this." He saw that girls like clip dolls.
"This one can't be clamped." The store owner set up the machine for profit. She tried twice, but it really couldn't be clamped.
"try again."
Shi Yi encouraged her.
Yu Zhi weighed the game coins in the basket, walked to the machine, took two coins and put them into the machine, and started to operate the remote control. The machine's claws hooked up the doll, but just as the doll was about to be aimed at the exit, the machine would always come loose.
She waved at Shiyi helplessly, "Look, clipping a doll is a waste of game currency."
Shi Yi grabbed two game coins and continued to put them in, saying, "Try again."
All the votes have been cast, so I can only continue to catch them.
Yu Zhiyi took a deep breath and grabbed the remote control switch.
Just as she began to move her paws, the back of her hand felt a touch of warmth.
At this time, her hands were completely incoherent, as if they were so soft that they had no bones.
"despair-"
Pressing down at the right moment, the claws grabbed the body of the doll, and when it moved to the exit, the claws were released, and the doll fell on the transparent frame and was shaky.
The two of them had to keep their eyes locked on the doll, and after it swayed, it fell into the exit.
"Wow! It's caught, it's caught!"
I clipped it several times and didn't respond, but Shi Yi was so accurate the first time, and his admiration for him was a little more.
"Brother is great!" This time, he praised without any thought and from the bottom of his heart.
The staff took out the doll and handed it to Yu Zhiyi. It was a pink and white rabbit.
Shi Yi pinched the rabbit's soft body with his fingers, feeling that the doll's fabric is very comfortable.
"like very much?"
"Well, the doll is very cute!" She held the doll tightly in both hands.
When I was a child, my parents were not around, and the old man was more willing to spend money where he really was, so he basically didn't buy her toys on purpose. Something like a doll... also doesn't exist.
Later, when I grew up, I didn’t even remember to buy these.
When she moved into the dormitory, she saw a large doll on her roommate's bed. She liked it quite a bit, but she just kept her love in her heart and wouldn't say it deliberately.
Even a small doll can make her happy.
Seeing that she couldn't let go of the doll, Shi Yi glanced up at the doll machines around him, and said, "If you like it, then add more."
The little girl raised her head and said in a relaxed and pleasant tone, "Brother help me clip."
He answered without hesitation: "Okay."
In the end, Li Shaozhou lost to Jiang Mi'er because of his carelessness, and Shi Yi obtained several dolls for her with his own brain and hands-on ability.
Li Shaozhou and Jiang Mi'er came out for a decisive battle. Seeing that the two of them were full of dolls, they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, "You guys... robbed the doll machine?"
"It's all because of my brother's ability!" Yu Zhi defended with a loud voice.
Li Shaozhou couldn't believe it, "Today's doll machine also has a bug?"
He didn't believe in this evil, so he ran to the doll machine and stuffed the two remaining game coins in his hand.
A wave of operations was as fierce as a tiger, and the result was a loneliness...
Looking at Shi Yi again, he felt insulted.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Jiang Mi'er took two steps forward and applauded him, "Although you are not very good, I admire your courage in repeated defeats and battles."
Seeing their "poor" status, the two gave Jiang Mi'er and Li Shaozhou one doll each.
Shi Yi and Yu Zhi returned home with a full load, and when they returned home, Shi Yi put all the dolls on her bed.
"Brother, don't you keep any of them?" Yu Zhiyi sat beside the bed playing with the dolls, and said casually, "This is a doll we picked up by ourselves, and it has a different meaning from buying it."
"Is that so..." He listened to the words in his heart, and did not refuse.
"Then I choose one myself?"
"Okay, brother, which one do you want?" It was Shi Yi who caught it. No matter which one he wanted, she would hand it over without hesitation.
The fingers hanging on his side moved slightly, he pointed to the pile of dolls, turned his fingers in two small circles, and finally designated the pink and white bunny.
At first, Yu Zhi thought he had misunderstood, and asked uncertainly, "Brother, do you want this little rabbit?"
"Hmm." He nodded slightly.
"But it's pink..." Yu Zhiyi was a little puzzled. She was not reluctant, but felt that Shi Yi's room with obvious boyish style might be a little out of place to have a white rabbit in it.
"Didn't you say let me choose? Why, I'm reluctant?"
"No!" She didn't want to be wronged, and hurriedly handed the little rabbit out.
Shi Yi grabbed the ear of the little rabbit, which was considered to be the bag of the little rabbit.
Ning Suya cleaned the room and saw a little bunny doll with a girl's heart beside her son's pillow. She thought it was something from Yu Zhiyi, and kindly "sent it back" to Yu Zhiyi's bedroom.
Shi Yi looked around the room and saw no trace of the little rabbit, and when he pushed open the door of the next room, he saw the little rabbit laying brightly on the bed.
He walked over and picked up the rabbit, "Yu Zhiyi, are you stealing my little rabbit?"
Yu Zhiyi, who had just returned to the room: "..."
Injustice!
"I didn't steal it. I saw it on the bed as soon as I came in." She quickly defended herself, shaking her head like a rattle.
Shi Yi burst out laughing.
Of course he didn't think she took it secretly, but he was just teasing her.
Later, Ning Suya found out about this, and the expression on her face was very complicated.
When I was a child, I caught a rabbit at home and came back to eat it. Shi Yi thought that the smell of rabbits was too strong, and he had a psychological shadow. He said that he hated rabbits, and then he really hated them.
"Don't you hate rabbits?" Put a rabbit doll next to your pillow now, aren't you afraid of having nightmares
"It's just a toy."
"Son, it's fine for you to like dolls, but you're a bunny and pink, and it's too weird."
"Mom, it's not as complicated as you think." He waved his hand and put the rabbit back, but he couldn't explain it.
Later, Ning Suya learned from Yu Zhi that it was the first one that Shi Yi caught.
But apart from Shi Yi himself, who would have thought of the deeper meaning.
In a blink of an eye, in January, Yu Zhiyi's 15th birthday is approaching.
On her birthday, Shi Yi told her in the morning, "Come home with me after school this afternoon."
Yu Zhi thought about it, probably to celebrate her birthday.
Qiao Lezhi would still give her a small gift. Jiang Mi'er and Wen Tingyu, who were in the same dormitory, knew about it, and they even discussed going back from school in the afternoon to buy something for her to celebrate.
"I'm sorry, I'm going home today." She would definitely choose Geng Shiyi to celebrate her birthday together.
The roommates understood and decided to move the celebration to tomorrow.
At noon, the sky began to become gloomy, and in the second class in the afternoon, there was a sound of rain outside the classroom.
The rain became heavier and lighter for a while, and it didn't stop until the third class was over.
Some students in the class were annoyed that they did not bring an umbrella.
At this time, the small colored umbrella that Yu Zhiyi carried with him came in handy.
Li Shaozhou dawdled in the classroom for a while, unable to wait. The brother who lives in the school dormitory asked him to go downstairs and wait, and bring an extra umbrella later.
Li Shaozhou walked down the stairs and saw that the slanting rain had drifted into the corridor, and the edges were wet.
He held his arm and poked, counted the time, turned around and headed towards the toilet on the far side.
After a while, he came out of the toilet, took two steps, and turned around to meet a man holding a flower umbrella.
He looked at this man a little familiar, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Shi Yi.
Seeing Shi Yi holding a colorful umbrella full of girlish hearts in his hands, Li Shaozhou laughed out loud and joked: "Brother Yi, I didn't see it, you are so girlish, haha..."
But the moment he saw Yu Zhi run out and get under the flower umbrella, Li Shaozhou's smile froze on his face, and he felt that the cold rain outside was hitting him directly.
Yu Zhiyi just went to the toilet, so Shi Yi just stood here waiting for her.
When she came back and saw another person, she asked casually, "Hey, Li Shaozhou, don't you have an umbrella?"
Li Shaozhou was about to answer, but was preempted by Shi Yi.
"He likes rainy days, don't worry about him." As soon as he finished speaking, he directly hugged the little girl's shoulders, and the two of them left together with an umbrella.
"Brother, will I have a cake this year?"
"Do you need to worry about this kind of thing, which year didn't you arrange it?"
She pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.
When I was in a good mood, I couldn't help but say a few more words, shaking my heart out, "When I used to celebrate my birthday, my grandmother would cook eggs for me."
Yu Zhiyi remembered the eggs that her grandmother boiled for her, which was the simplest and most sincere blessing.
But this year's birthday is different from previous years. Her birthday is on Wednesday, so she can't go back to town to meet her grandma as she likes.
She thought about calling her grandmother after school.
"Don't worry, in previous years, there will only be more, not less."
At first, Yu Zhiyi didn't understand the true meaning of that sentence, until after entering the door, she saw her grandmother and Aunt Ning sitting on the sofa in the living room together.
"Grandma!" She walked over happily.
When she knew the truth about her grandmother's departure, she couldn't let it go, and she also felt guilty for not being able to take care of the sick old man, but now everything is getting better.
This birthday represents a new turning point in her life.
Maybe God made her meet Shi Yi for the sake of fairness and made up for the missing feelings from her parents.
Yu Zhi opened a few small gifts that she received today and placed them in the right place.
She thought to herself that she had received her friend's blessing, she had eaten her grandmother's eggs, and she had eaten the cake from Shi's family, so what's left... Shi Yi's gift!
It's not that she has to ask Shi Yi for gifts, but since birth, they have spent 15 birthdays together, giving gifts has formed a tacit understanding, and every time Shi Yi gives her, she will not disappoint her, so she Will look forward to that gift.
Grandma came to the city alone, and it was too late to leave. As soon as Yu Zhi chatted with her, Ning Suya also agreed with the old man to stay for one night.
The old man went to bed early and rested first in her bedroom.
Shi Yi stood at the door and silently gestured towards her.
As soon as Yu Zhi closed the door gently, the two turned around and entered the next bedroom - Shi Yi's room.
Stepping into the door, the little girl's eyes swirled around the room.
On the table? in bed? or somewhere else
She is familiar with the layout of Shi Yi's room, and it seems that there is no such thing as "a gift".
"What are you looking for?"
When the little girl was searching for the gift with her eyes, she was caught!
She hugged her slightly, and straightened her back with a guilty conscience. She stared straight ahead without blinking, not daring to glance again.
Shi Yi took the initiative to mention, "Let me guess, are you thinking, what gift will I give?"
"No..." she was embarrassed to admit.
Shi Yi raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "It's fine if it's not, I was just about to tell you that I'm not ready this year."
The little girl suddenly widened her eyes, as if she couldn't believe it.
Shi Yi shook his head and sighed, "Sigh, I've been busy with my studies recently, and I don't have time to go shopping in the street. I even asked my mother to bring the cakes back."
It sounds like it is.
But where could Yu Zhiyi blame him for being negligent? Instead, he began to comfort him, "It doesn't matter, brother, I don't really want gifts."
Shi Yi lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders twice.
Yu Zhiyi felt that something was wrong, she tilted her neck to look, and the man finally couldn't help laughing.
Only then did she realize that she was being tricked, as if her own thoughts were not concealed in front of him, and she was really embarrassed.
The little girl was at a loss, she didn't know why she reached out and covered Shi Yi's mouth, her soft voice pretended to be a vicious threat, "Don't laugh anymore!"
He couldn't help it.
But when he moved, his thin lips touched the girl's palm, soft and warm, making his heart beat for a while.
He realized something and took a step back quickly, hitting the edge of the desk behind him.
Yu Zhiyi looked at him for unknown reasons, still thinking about her being teased.
When she was sure that Shi Yi had prepared a gift, she was bold and stretched out her hand, "So it's time for my brother to hand over the gifts one by one?"
"I'm really not prepared." He still insisted.
"That's not good, I gave you gifts on your birthday." Shi Yi is more than three months older than her, and she must give gifts every year.
"Well..." He laughed and said, "Okay, then, I'll give you something good."
"what?"
He turned to open the drawer and took out a small rectangular box.
There is no special decoration in the small box, with white four water chestnuts, I don't know what is inside.
Shi Yi handed her the small box, "Open it and take a look."
The box is separated from top to bottom, and the fingers are pinched on both sides and pulled up and down respectively, and the box is opened.
On the top layer is a white mobile phone.
She was shocked, but she didn't take out her phone.
Yu Zhiyi was dull for a while, and asked tentatively, "Can I not have this?"
"Why, don't you like it?" Shi Yi didn't expect her to react like this, so he couldn't help frowning.
"Mobile phones... It's very expensive. I don't need a mobile phone for school now. It's a waste of money to buy it." She bit her lower lip and continued: "This kind of thing should be refundable, right?"
Shi Yi closed his eyes temporarily and sighed softly.
I was actually worried about this.
"You forgot, I'll make my own money." He took part in the competition in the province and won a prize of 3,000 yuan. At that time, he thought about a gift for her.
Just give her all the good things within your ability.
Yu Zhi shook his head and refused to accept it, "Brother is always spending money for me..."
Thinking of this, a sour bubble appeared in my heart again.
I just remembered that Shi Yi always treated her well without asking for anything in return, he did a lot of things for her, and paid a lot of things for her.
Time, energy, money, or something else.
She didn't understand that a little girl who was abandoned by her parents was really worthy of such an excellent person. Is it treated like this
She's not pessimistic, she just sometimes thinks it's too good to be true.
Shi Yi touched her chin, lifted her face, and checked her eyes, "Aren't you going to cry?"
She shook her head, trying hard not to let the tears come out, and whispered: "I just feel that my brother is so pitiful. He has been the best and most dazzling existence since he was a child, but he brought me this little trouble."
"I'd rather my brother forget my birthday and not give such an expensive gift."
The man sighed, touched her head, and coaxed patiently, "If I really forgot your birthday, you'd have to cry all night."
"I won't cry..." The little mouth was deflated, but fortunately there were no tears.
Shi Yi directly took the phone out of the box, held it with one hand, and stuffed it into her palm, "Also, I'm not giving without asking for anything in return, but I'm investing."
"invest?"
Be nice to her, is this called an investment
"When you grow up, you will always ask for something in return."
"What if I don't have any ability when I grow up? Then you will lose money." Such a smart Shi Yi, invest in her? Wouldn't it be too bad? She doesn't even believe in herself.
"No." Shi Yi was extraordinarily determined and smiled: "As long as you stay by my side, I will not lose."
—
On his birthday, the result of receiving gifts and not receiving gifts, of course, was half-coaxed by Shi Yi and accepted.
She has never used a mobile phone, but after playing with Shi Yi's mobile phone, she can get started quickly.
Shi Yi threw his cell phone to her, "Find someone you might contact with, and save the number. If I don't have it here, I'll ask you later."
Yu Zhi thought for a while and then directly entered a few numbers.
She remembered that Shi Yi's, grandmother's, including Aunt Ning and Uncle Shi's phone numbers were all memorized and could be entered directly.
Because Shi Yi was the monitor and had saved the contact information of several classmates, she also saved Qiao Lezhi, Li Shaozhou and Jiang Mi'er by the way.
Shi Yi turned his head and glanced, saw her note, and reminded: "It's best not to save the contact information directly. Although the probability is very small, it may also be used by someone with a heart, and change it to a name or a meaning that only you know."
"Oh." She was taught, and changed her grandmother's name to something.
As for Shi Yi, she saw the word "Eleven" when she typed it, and she thought carefully, "Brother, what do you think of me giving you a note on Eleven? That way no one else knows it's you, only I know. !"
"Eleven..." He thought for a while and shook his head, "This number is not very good."
"Well then, I'll write your name."
When she was about to start typing, Shi Yi suddenly reached out to block it and took the phone away from her.
Yu Zhiyi didn't know why.
Shi Yi got the phone, skillfully operated it on the screen, and handed it back to her.
Yu Zhiyi looked down and saw the words "A Thirteen" on the original contact note.
"What does A Thirteen mean?"
"Starts with the letter A."
"I know this, but what does Thirteen mean?"
"Think about it for yourself." He didn't give the answer directly.
Yu Zhi played with his mobile phone, quietly opened the web browser, and searched for the meaning of "Contact Notes Thirteen".
In western countries, thirteen is an unlucky number, representing evil, demons, diseases, disasters, all of which are bad symbols.
But in China, thirteen is an auspicious and noble number.
Baidu's answer explains it like this:
Twelve paintings of "friends", twelve paintings of "lover", and twelve paintings of "family".
One less painting is a pity, one more painting is—
preference.
—
The roommates found out that she had a new mobile phone, and they were very envious. "One by one, your mobile phone is so beautiful. I remember when I was watching variety shows, I was still advertising this mobile phone."
"Did your parents buy this for you? I'm so envious." Jiang Mi'er didn't know about her family, nor about her parents. At their current stage, someone who can think of giving such an expensive gift must be a very close person.
When Qiao Lezhi wanted to stop it, it was too late. As for Yu Zhiyi's family, she was not easy to speak.
Yu Zhiyi tightened his fingers and shook his head, "No."
"Ah? Who gave it?" Jiang Mi'er was curious.
"Brother sent it."
"Shi Yi? Shi Yi gave you a cell phone?"
"Um."
"Wow, Shi Yi is too kind to you!" Jiang Mi'er couldn't help applauding, praising the enviable brother-sister relationship, "The only regret is that my mother didn't give me a brother, maybe I can too. Experience the joy of being a younger sister and being pampered by an older brother."
Qiao Lezhi poured herself a glass of water, picked up the water glass in a tea-sipping posture, and added brightly, "Shi Yi is not one's own brother, or you can go back and ask your mother if the neighbor next door has any There's no such thing as a good Zhuma brother."
"Ah! When you say that, I'm even more heartbroken..."
If her biological brother could spoil her to such a degree, wouldn't it make people envious!
At this time, the sense of presence in the dormitory was the weakest, and Wen Tingyu, the most quiet person, suddenly said, "He should like you."
The author has something to say: Brother Yi: I am investing.
Luoluo: Talk to people!
Brother Yi: I'm raising a daughter-in-law~
