That day, Zhou Yizhi asked someone to book a plane ticket for herself, planning to go abroad and send him a bouquet of daisies to the place where her brother's plane crashed. The guilt and guilt in her heart almost made her breathless. To my brother who gave so much for me in the last life, I want to apologize to him, to apologize for my waywardness and ignorance in those years, what I want to say to him most is, I will treat you well in the future, and start over, okay? Don't leave my side, okay
However, there is no chance.
She was heartbroken, and it wasn't until then that she realized how important something she had been neglecting was to her.
Now in front of me is my elder brother who was a sixteen-year-old boy, and I don’t know what happened in the last life, let alone what price he paid for himself in the last life—if he knew, would he regret being so kind to himself? Would you never want to have anything to do with yourself again
Zhou Yizhi didn't dare to think about it.
He didn't dare to let his brother at this time know all about it.
Fortunately, the brother in front of me is still a sixteen-year-old brother, and everything between me and him has a chance to start again.
If he wanted to change the relationship between two people and not repeat the same mistakes, Zhou Yizhi felt that he could no longer be reserved.
Brother must be given a strong dose of medicine.
Sad in her heart, she raised her eyes to look at her elder brother who was pale because of the fever, and said, "I don't hate you."
"Brother, when you came the day before yesterday, I was a little cold at first because—"
"It's because my father said that Grandpa Xue, a family friend, has a grandson who is going to live in our house. The matter was a bit rushed, and I didn't have time to prepare... So when I saw you for the first time, I was a little awkward, and I didn't dare to be too enthusiastic."
Seeing her brother staring at her fixedly, meeting his pair of pitch-black eyes, Zhou Yizhi seemed to hear his heart beating faster, she just felt that she had to say something more, something more.
As she spoke, she analyzed in her heart why her current brother felt that she hated him.
Sure enough, was it because I still acted too condescending on the day we met
When I saw my brother that day, I was full of emotions, but because of my personality, I was still cold and indifferent. My brother has experienced the harshness of the world in the past three years. Would he think that he and those who heard about the changes in Xue's family would immediately close the door? Like a missing relative, ostracizing him because of what happened three years ago
Zhou Yizhi immediately said to his brother nervously: "Also... I heard what happened three years ago from my father, but that matter is not your responsibility, brother. Don't misunderstand that I hate you because of this."
Fearing that his brother would not believe it, Zhou Yizhi couldn't help but grab his sleeve and shake it gently.
"I don't hate you at all, I don't hate you at all, why do I hate you?" She sniffed and said softly to her brother, "Brother, can we get along well in the future?"
"... Besides, I don't have any playmates." She said, "Actually, I'm very happy that you can come to our house."
it's OK.
Not at all annoying.
Not annoying at all.
very happy.
Every sentence fell on Xue Xi's heart, like the rays of light splitting the dark clouds, making him even slightly short of breath.
He thought that even if he started a new life, the situation in the previous life would not change much.
She will still reject him, and will still be the same as in the previous life, never looking back at him.
And the reason why he came to Zhou's house again and again was not to force anything, but just to prevent her future fate. That time, the car accident when she was 20 years old, who will protect her.
Therefore, when some things in this life became different from the previous life, he naturally couldn't believe it—is it an illusion that she would be nice to him
She obviously never knew it before, but now...
…
But now, he definitely got the answer from her.
It's not an illusion, it's real.
In this life, she doesn't hate him.
The relationship between the two is not only eased, but also has the opportunity to let go of the past and start again.
In the new life, whether it was because of a change somewhere, or maybe it was just another world in the dark, another world imagined by him to compensate him, he didn't want to delve into it. It was as if a treasure he had been asking for since childhood was suddenly placed in his hands, and the joy in his heart was incomparable for a moment.
He caught a glimpse of some new hope—this life could really start anew.
"Okay." Xue Xi said hoarsely, he looked at Zhou Yizhi fixedly.
The obsidian-like pupils seemed to be revived.
After being reborn for so long, it seems that this moment is the beginning of a new life.
…
The thunder has stopped, but the heavy rain is still crackling.
That night, although Zhou Yizhi returned to his room, he didn't feel sleepy at all. The moment she lay on the bed and wanted to be embraced by her brother, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up. It seemed as she had expected. Her brother remembered everything that happened in her childhood, so she knew that she was afraid of thunder.
And Xue Xi, who was separated by the two walls, also had his eyes open, and there was a little brilliance in his dark eyes. He raised his hand, touched the fever-reducing patch on his forehead, and glanced at the half glass of water she poured on the bedside table. , although it still felt unreal, but the dark clouds in his heart were dispelled a little after all.
In this life, he saw a good start.
The next morning, Zhou Yizhi set five alarm clocks, so she didn't sleep in and oversleep like the day before. She got up early and got dressed. She guessed that her brother would sleep a little longer because of illness, so she didn't bother her, and went out to walk around. Running up the hill.
After the heavy rain, the air in the yard is very fresh, but the temperature has dropped by one degree.
Aunt He was wearing an apron and was busy in the kitchen. When she saw Zhou Yizhi coming back from exercising outside the villa, she was astonished as if a thunder had exploded above her head. She said to Zhou Yizhi, "Miss, why are you so early today, why don't you sleep more?"
Zhou Yizhi was sweating, with a ponytail tied up, looking radiant, smiled at Aunt He, glanced at the breakfast Aunt He had prepared, and told her, "Cook two more bowls of millet porridge."
Aunt He was puzzled: "Miss never drinks millet porridge."
Zhou Yizhi pointed to the second floor, and said, "Brother Xue Xi has a fever, eat something light and heal quickly."
"Oh." Aunt He managed to digest the fact that Zhou Yizhi got up early in the morning, and then came another thunder that surprised her even more—Miss actually cared about others. She was stunned for a long time before doing as Zhou Yizhi ordered. Go to cook millet porridge, and at the same time say to Zhou Yizhi: "Then miss, go to school, I will send it to you later."
"No need, I'm asking for leave with my brother today, you just have to finish it, I'll bring it up later." Zhou Yizhi said with a smile.
After seeing his brother's fragile appearance when he had a fever last night, his handsome face, pale skin, hot red lips, slightly trembling eyelashes, and how he would hold on to people's hands so that they would not let them go, Zhou Yizhi felt a little jealousy. The possessiveness of his own things comes from the fact that he doesn't want others to see the alluring appearance of his teenage brother.
What if he was dreaming again, tightly clutching Aunt He's wrist to prevent Aunt He from leaving, the picture was too beautiful to watch.
After giving orders to Aunt He, Zhou Yizhi asked the housekeeper to ask for leave from the school.
The butler was also the same as Aunt He, with an expression as if he saw the sun coming out from the west.
Zhou Yizhi finished her breakfast and the porridge was ready, so she carried it upstairs on a silver tray.
Young people's physical fitness is always surprisingly tenacious. Although they had a fever all night last night, by this morning, the fever had completely subsided. Xue Xi had already put on his school uniform and was about to open the door, but when he opened the door, he saw Zhou Yizhi who was about to knock on the door.
He glanced at the porridge in Zhou Yizhi's hand, and was slightly taken aback.
Zhou Yizhi raised his head and looked at his elder brother. He pulled the zipper of his school uniform to the collarbone as usual, and he was meticulous. He had a fever last night, which made his lips look a little pale now, but his dark and deep eyes were still full of energy. , her elder brother was a head taller than her when he was a teenager. Even though he was calm in his work, the green and handsome boyishness still gurgled from his tall height and straight and long legs all the time.
"Brother, good morning."
First life and second familiarity, I have already said so much last night, the face that should have been lost has long been gone, Zhou Yizhi no longer holds back, and smiled at him: "You are still sick, you woke up so early What are you doing? I asked the housekeeper to ask for leave for you."
Xue Xi looked at her smile.
"morning."
Even though it was confirmed last night that Yizhi in this life didn't hate him and had a chance to start over, Xue Xi's throat was still tight after getting her care early in the morning.
He brought the dinner plate in her hand with one hand, turned around and put it on the table, subconsciously glanced at her fingers, wondering if she was burnt.
There were two chairs by the table by the window, Zhou Yizhi sat down on one of them, Xue Xi sat down on the other, he picked up the spoon and stared at the steaming millet porridge and side dishes in front of him. Seemingly surprised, as if in a dream, he raised his eyes and looked at her.
"Hey, I made it with my own hands, brother, you can try it." Zhou Yizhi said.
The elder brother seemed a little surprised, because he hadn't recovered from the cold, and he asked in a low voice, "Your hands?"
Zhou Yizhi coughed, how could it be that she cooked it herself, she doesn't know how to cook at all, she has never cooked before in either the previous life or this life.
But the first bowl of porridge after recovering from a serious illness, how could she let go of this great opportunity to increase her favorability, she said without blushing, "That's right."
Anyway, her sixteen-year-old brother just came to her house, and he didn't know that she couldn't cook at all.
Xue Xi looked down at Porridge, then at her: "..."
I don't know if it's Zhou Yizhi's illusion, but I just feel that there seems to be some uncontrollable smile in his brother's eyes.
she:…
What's going on, why is brother laughing, is it that I look extraordinarily beautiful with sweat on my forehead after exercising? !
Having breakfast on the second floor, a business car drove up on the mountainside, the fence of Zhou's house was automatically opened, the rolling door of the second empty garage was raised, and the car drove in. A tall man with a well-cut suit got out of the car. Although he was already middle-aged, the years didn't seem to have left too many marks on him. He walked straight to the gate of the villa without a smile on his face.
The housekeeper who was on the phone in the living room was startled when he saw the man go in: "Sir, why are you back?!"
There are 365 days in a year, this villa is always empty and unpopular, there are at least 364 days with only Zhou Yizhi and them.
Zhou Du and Jiang Yirong each have their own careers, and they are so busy that they seldom call back.
They even called the housekeeper directly for some matters that needed to be explained, probably because they felt that the daughter would talk about some life matters on the phone with Zhou Yizhi, which wasted their time. These butlers couldn't bear to tell Zhou Yizhi who had been waiting for the phone every day since he was a child, even he felt sorry for Miss.
"I have some business to come back." Zhou Du nodded slightly, and handed his coat to the housekeeper. He didn't intend to explain that the summit location happened to be in this city. He just came for a meeting and picked up a document. He asked the assistant who came with him Go to the study to get the documents, then turn around and ask the housekeeper, "Has the child from the Xue family arrived?"
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Here, it's already settled."
Zhou Du and Jiang Yirong never said before that they would not come back in the new year, Zhou Yizhi asked eagerly, and the couple only said they would do their best. The housekeeper saw the disappointment in Zhou Yizhi's eyes after hanging up the phone. Now that the husband finally came back, he and Aunt He were both a little excited, and hurriedly said: "Sir, please do it, and I will call Miss to come down."
Zhou Du frowned and said, "No need, I don't have time."
The housekeeper couldn't help but pleaded: "Miss has been looking forward to your and Madam's return, she misses you very much, since you are here, can't you just wait for three minutes before leaving?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Aunt He hurriedly said: "A while ago, Miss took the province's competition award. The day before yesterday, I thought you were coming back. I was overwhelmed by surprise. I secretly put the trophy on the coffee table. I hope you can see it." She arrived, but you didn't come back later, she was very sad... "
The assistant had already fetched the documents. Zhou Du took a look at the two of them, sat down on the sofa, and said calmly, "It's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's let Yizhi down. Is she still sleeping late?"
"No, no, the lady has already woken up!" said the butler, turning around and urging Aunt He: "Hurry up and call the lady."
Aunt He hurried upstairs to call Zhou Yizhi.
Xue Xi heard voices outside, came down from upstairs, and called out, "Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Du raised his head and glanced at the young man, his expression eased, and he said to him, "Sit."
Although the Xue family has been ruined, it did help the Zhou family back then.
Zhou Yizhi was in her own room. She was about to take a shower. She took off her clothes halfway. When she heard the knock on the door, she put on her clothes again and opened the door.
Aunt He looked very happy, and urged: "Miss, pack up and go downstairs quickly, Mr. just came back, but he seems to be in a hurry, and he won't be here for long, you go downstairs!"
Zhou Yi was taken aback, her father came back suddenly? Zhou Du came back after two months in the previous life. However, Zhou Yizhi didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he was reincarnated, and most of the things would not change. However, it might be because he missed a phone call or other changes, and even caused some changes in Zhoudu's business. maybe.
"Oh." She walked to the bathroom.
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Aunt He was a little stunned, and followed in: "Miss, don't hurry up, sir has no time to wait."
"I want to take a shower first. I'm going for a run in the morning. My body is sweaty and I don't feel very comfortable." Zhou Yizhi said.
Aunt He can understand that Zhou Yizhi doesn't want to behave badly in front of the strict husband, but—"What's the point of taking a bath, miss, you should hurry down, the husband won't be waiting for you later!"
Zhou Yizhi suddenly remembered that when she was five years old, all the children in the trunk were angrily complaining about her, because it was obvious that the kidnapper was her mother's illegitimate meal, and the person who wanted revenge was her mother, but in the end they brought Kidnapped so many children. In the end, in order to preserve her name and reputation, her parents did not show up, which caused the kidnappers to be completely enraged, and all the children fell into panic.
Several emotional children kicked her, resenting her for being the culprit.
Terrified but afraid to cry, she flinched and felt the blood dripping from another child's wounded calf.
The child looked at her with pitch-black eyes, and instead of avoiding it, he stepped aside slightly to let her lean over, and the two of them curled up in a corner together, having a place to stay.
He stood in front of her, and the other children couldn't kick her anymore.
At that time, Zhou Yizhi, who was five years old, had always stubbornly believed that there must be a reason why his parents didn't come to save him.
All the education she knows from textbooks is that her daughter is a caring little padded jacket, her father loves like a mountain, and her mother loves great.
They definitely have their dilemmas.
But it was only later that she found out that there could be any reason. After weighing her life, reputation, and reputation, her parents felt that calling the police was the way with the least loss.
She encountered this nightmare, and the events of the five-year-old were blurred to her. It was not until she learned about her brother's air crash in her previous life that she went to investigate and recalled the events of that year.
For her parents, she can't talk about resentment, it's just... In her previous life, she had been working hard to get the love of her parents, which resulted in her being trapped and losing too many other things.
In this life, she never wants to do this again.
She hurried down now, Zhou Du might still look at him critically.
She picked up the bath towel and said in a low voice: "I feel uncomfortable sticking to my body. I'd better take a bath first. Aunt He, let Dad go and do it first if he is in a hurry. Don't wait for me reluctantly."
Aunt He only felt that the young lady had changed as a different person. She was stunned and had no choice but to go downstairs.
She repeated Zhou Yizhi's words.
In the living room, Zhou Du, who was chatting with Xue Xi and asking him about the situation of Xue's family in a distant manner, was stunned when he heard this.
When he came back, didn't his daughter run downstairs excitedly, wishing to wrap his legs around him and let him stay for a while, but what happened today
From Aunt He's words, she actually heard a bit of her indifference.
