But this kind of emotion only passed away for a while, to her, nothing was more important than Zhou Shengchen.
From the moment he proposed to marry him, she believed that she wanted to be with him in this life.
Name and recognition are not important.
Zhou Shengren arrived at dinner, and all the men who came with him except for the two girls. Unlike the meeting in Zhenjiang, he traveled more casually in private, wearing only a pair of light blue jeans and white short sleeves, like an ordinary boy who had just graduated from junior high school.
Shi Yi sat by the small stone bridge near the entrance of the scenic spot, standing in the shade, waiting to pick him up.
Unexpectedly, he came in so grandiosely, walked in front of Shiyi, raised the corners of his mouth, and called out for Shiyi's sister.
"Did you come directly in?" She was a little strange.
After all, the scenic area is not open now, only the people and media from this competition are accepted.
Zhou Shengren nodded: "My mother was afraid that I would have an accident, so she specially arranged for someone to make preparations."
What he said was serious, quite a bit of Zhou Shengchen's shadow.
Shi Yi chuckles: "You are talking to me like this, I thought I saw your brother," she gently touched the little boy's forehead with her palm, "Sweating? Very hot?"
The little boy grew fast and was almost as tall as her.
Perhaps no sister in the family dared to treat him this way, so that she was slightly taken aback, and soon smiled and nodded.
She met Xiaoren several times, and knew that he was not very talkative, so she didn't say much.
As expected, Zhou's family had made arrangements, and the person in charge of the scenic spot had already arranged the accommodation for Xiaoren and his entourage. When Shi Yi accompanies him to the attic room, the two girls have quickly taken care of everything, even the tea sets have been changed.
Xiaoren didn’t seem to have the habit of drinking tea. After the two girls went out, he took out two bottles of Coke from the small freezer in the room, opened them, and poured Shiyi a cup: "I heard from the Mei family that sister Shiyi knows well. Make tea?"
Shi Yi took the glass: "It's okay, it's just a little hobby."
"My sister seems to be born to marry someone in our family."
"Is there?" Shi Yi laughed.
"Isn't there?" Xiaoren lay on his back on the bamboo chair, carefully looking at the time.
She knew that Xiaoren was talking about her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her love for ancient literature: "Maybe I prefer to like ancient literature." Xiaoren shook her head and interrupted her: "Not only that, I heard about your affairs in Germany. Sister, are you afraid? If you are shown gunfights, bloodshed, dead people, and many very cruel things, are you afraid?"
The boy's voice is very clear, but it also highlights the coldness.
Shiyi didn't respond for a while, thinking about things in Germany, there is still a lingering fear: "I will be afraid."
The coke was splashing slightly with bubbles in the glass. Quietly, some splashed on the back of her hand.
Zhou Shengren, like her, held the glass, but didn't drink it. He just continued to look at her, with a calmness in his eyes that a 14-year-old shouldn't have.
After a while, he pursed the corners of his mouth, but comforted Shiyi: "What I just said was to scare my sister."
She has some natural sensitivity, especially her attitude towards people.
A little subtle, there will be awareness.
So she thought, Xiaoren's sudden visit to her future brother-in-law must be more than just "on the way" as he said. Xiaoren has a lot more food and accommodation than Zhou Shengchen, perhaps because he is the only son of Zhou Shengchen's uncle.
Raise your hands, more or less the meaning of patronage and tenderness.
But she really seemed to have a good impression of Shiyi, at least she didn't feel any unfriendly.
This little brother came over, brought a box of clothes along the way, and moved to the room where Shiyi and Meilin lived. The person carrying the box left the room with the front foot, and Meilin opened the unlocked box with the back foot. A box full of clothes, from skinny to outer wear, everything is available.
Shiyi wears clothes made by the Wang family and knows that they like to put two pearls on the inside of the cuffs.
So after flipping it twice, I realized that these clothes were made by the Wang family.
While Meilin was still looking at the clothes, someone brought in a whole box of water again.
"I heard from my brother that I heard strange noises last night," Xiaoren explained briefly to her, "So if possible, we will try to avoid drinking the water here and eating the food here for the next two days. These , Everyone who comes with me will solve it."
"So rigorous?" Shi Yi couldn't help laughing.
Xiaoren also laughed and answered her half-truth: "Whether it is a ghost of the underworld or the ghost of the sun, the Zhou family have encountered a lot of them, and naturally they have learned more to be careful."
Shi Yi just treated him as a joke, teasing him casually: "Have you ever met?"
Unexpectedly, the little boy didn't answer.
He didn't notice anything from his expression, but Shiyi always felt that he had said something that shouldn't be said.
When she talked to Zhou Shengchen on the phone in the evening, Zhou Shengchen thought a little bit about the incident: "Xiaoren's mother died accidentally, and the reason was a bit special, so he sometimes talked and did things a little strange."
Zhou Shengchen's explanation is very vague.
To be honest, Shi Yi did not understand, she rarely asked him: "What is the reason?"
He did not answer.
Shiyi thought for a while, and said, "I will know these things sooner or later."
"The Zhou family is a bit special. 96% of the assets are overseas, and there are some businesses and friends under the sun," he said. "Xiaoren's mother's family, although we are family friends, but she personally married the Zhou family. Mainly because I wanted to investigate some things in Zhou's family. Later... it was an accidental death."
Shi Yi leaned against the window and continued to listen to his supplementary explanation of the past.
About eight or nine years ago, when Zhou Shengren was a child, he boarded a gambling boat with his parents. The gambling boat belonged to the Zhou family. In order to allocate a mineral deposit of unknown ownership, the Zhou family took the lead in making this transaction. Xiaoren's mother was also executed by the family after being found on the boat.
At that time, in order not to affect Xiaoren, this incident was made into the illusion of "accidental death".
But when the little boy grows up, some truths will naturally be known.
That's why he kept silent on the topic of "Ghost in the Sun".
She was surprised by Zhou Shengchen's description of her family, but did not ask much.
Connecting those in the past, she felt more and more that the environment in which she and him lived was not in the same world at all.
"In some respects, I am not from the Zhou family," Zhou Shengchen said. "When this incident is over, everyone and everything will return to their original trajectory."
