He Wei saw several books dropped from the bookshelf, and immediately thought that the scene just now should be just a very ordinary scene where the brother protects the younger sister, but soon she remembered Wen Ying's confession to her that the two had been in love and said they were brother and sister , and not so appropriate.
She thought of the taboo love novels she secretly read, and she covered her heart all of a sudden.
Although they have only lived together for one year, this is something that cannot be explained. For onlookers, as long as there is a brother-sister relationship on the surface, no matter what kind of "truth" is behind it, it will become explosive. The topic, attracting attention, has become a topic of discussion on social ethics and morality...
At the moment when she was dreaming, the mobile phone in her hand uttered "Hello" non-stop, and then she remembered something, and suddenly picked up the phone and said to the person on the other side, "Yes, yes."
"Who cares if you're here or not." She could definitely imagine the uncle on the opposite side rolling his eyes, "Where's her? Did you find it?"
"Not yet..." He Wei lied guilty.
She poked her head and took a look. The "brothers and sisters" over there were still talking, so she didn't want to rush over and hand the phone to Wen Ying, after all, it was a call from Gong Xuan.
"Is she busy recently? Why doesn't she always answer my calls?" Gong Xuan muttered, with a bit of puzzlement and grievance of being left out in his voice.
"Final exam, brother, do you think everyone is the same as you?"
Gong Xuan let out a "Hey", "Is her grades good?"
"I used to force it when I came in, and then I saw that she didn't want to learn... It's not that I spoiled her, thank you, I would also take her abroad together. After all, I have been studying for a while, and I will study abroad in the next semester. That's why I'm too lazy to learn, and squander my youth while I'm young. But she has made great progress in the past two months, and she should understand that she has to study hard." She suddenly gloated, "She basically doesn't participate in those activities now, you Be careful, the distance between you and her will become farther and farther."
"whispering sound."
Gong Xuan was lying on the bed and wanted to chat with Wen Ying, but when he heard this, he got up and sat down at the desk to look through the exercise book. The large area of blanks looked like a brand new book, and the first question made him dizzy and staring.
He couldn't hold it for a minute, he let out a long sigh and fell back on the bed, and said in a lazy tone, "Do you know what complementarity is? What I know, she doesn't, and what she knows, I don't, just right."
He Wei probably scolded him over there, but he didn't hear clearly, "What?"
Before He Wei's voice came over, he vaguely heard the conversation between the two people, the voice became louder and louder, as if they were approaching He Wei's direction, and He Wei was talking to him without realizing it arrive.
"It's the final exam, how is the review?" from a boy.
"I don't know." The girl who answered was the voice he was most familiar with. She seemed to be a bit distressed, "I have left too much, I don't know where to start to make up..."
"If you read less idle books, you'll have time to fill them up."
"snort."
"Circle if you don't understand, I'll teach you..."
"Vivi?" someone called He Wei.
After that, I couldn't hear clearly, as if the receiver was covered by someone. After a few seconds, He Wei's voice like a thief came out again, "You just...didn't hear anything, did you?"
"No," he said. "I heard nothing."
He thought of the person who took Wen Ying away in the small hotel, the "brother" she mentioned during a phone call, and the pair of sneakers, he knew who that person was.
Shan Yao and Wen Ying were reading handwriting exercises in the library together, feeling unprecedented peace in their hearts. For a moment, he even thought that even if they might not be together, it might be okay for him to take care of her as an elder brother. Family affection is always more permanent than love.
But—the person who accompanies her all her life is her husband.
He felt his emotional conflict, and he restrained his mind to prepare for the problem. When he lowered his head, a book was pushed forward, and the corner of the book was stacked on his exercise page. Someone above used a red pen to circle a red circle on the number marked in front of the title.
He raised his eyes to look, but the girl turned her gaze to the side, refusing to look at him directly.
Shan Yao remembered that time at the school celebration party, he was very angry with her, except for the smile just now in front of the bookshelf, it had been a while since he had given him a good look. She doesn't know what's going on in her heart. For her now, it probably doesn't matter whether her brother and sister's identities are exposed or not.
He was in a complicated mood, but he still smiled when he saw her awkward movements. He listed the specific solution steps on the white paper, and sent back the simple analysis to her.
Seeing her sitting upright at the beginning, and then almost lying on the table, dozing off quietly, her cheeks gradually got closer and closer to the book, until she fell asleep completely.
When he came to his senses, he found that he had been looking at it for a long time, so that He Wei quietly glanced at him.
Shan Yao took Wen Ying's question book and looked at it. There were many circles, question marks, and triangles on it. It was almost the same habit as her junior high school. He wrote down the answer ideas on the white paper according to the degree of difficulty. , if it is within the range she can think of, just make a reminder.
He suddenly felt thankful that whether he was with her or not, it might not matter to her life. The most important thing was that she was not mired in the mud, and her future still had infinite possibilities.
However, some problems still need to be solved.
Shan Yao found a suitable time and invited Lu Jiamei out to meet alone.
"You really surprised me when you asked me out suddenly." Lu Jiamei pretended to be cold and said, "If I remember correctly, we have already broken up. Don't expect me to be nice to you." If Shan Yao picks up at this time In other words, the atmosphere will undoubtedly be much more relaxed.
It's a pity that Shan Yao didn't respond to her joke, he cut straight to the point, "There are some things I want to clarify with you."
Lu Jiamei was in a trance for a moment, and she suddenly thought that when she first saw him, he didn't have such a personality, he didn't always have a cold face, and suppressed all the emotions in her heart. He can also laugh, and joke with his friends. Although he is colder and quieter than the average boys, he will not be able to freeze people inch by inch just by using his eyes like now.
She couldn't put on a smile, but she didn't deliberately imitate him like before, she just said: "...you say."
"Cheng Ye told you about my relationship with her?"
"Well, it's him." She didn't need to lie on this point, and said directly, "I have been troubled by her existence, and he told me when he comforted me. Actually, I don't understand, why didn't you tell me?" Me? If I knew she was your sister, I wouldn't sulk myself Maybe, we wouldn't have to break up. "
Shan Yao looked at her with a somewhat sad look, and found that he was a little strange to her. The emotions she showed were more like what she showed to him, as if she was singing a play alone, babbling and singing lively, waiting for the audience to cheer.
If he hadn't felt deeper emotions from Wen Ying, maybe he would have believed her.
"Don't think about things that are a foregone conclusion. As I said, I broke up with you not because you don't trust me." He paused, "Don't take advantage of my friends."
"It's too much to say such a thing." Lu Jiamei put the cup heavily on the table, "Shan Yao, don't think that I have no temper. When you broke up, you told me that there is no relationship between us. We have no relationship, so the past few months have been a joke?"
Shan Yao shook his head, "It's too serious to say it's a joke, I'm always grateful that you were willing to listen to my complaints and emotional venting during that time. But—some things others don't understand, you and I are very clear, I don't It’s not because I like you that I date you, what about you? Are you with me because you like me?”
"What do you mean?"
Shan Yao didn't continue talking, he just looked at the other party's slightly flickering eyes, and knew that she was clear in her heart.
He didn't know what her purpose was, but this "love affair" contained many calculations and considerations. He borrowed her to draw a cordon, hoping that his new sister would stop going forward, and he also hoped that he could stop and not look back.
The reason why he was able to decisively make the decision to break up was because he always believed that it was just a young and youthful love that could not last long. At that time, he had just broken up with Wen Ying, and she could not accept this fact, so he began to alienate her. Before that, although he had already had contact with Lu Jiamei, he had never thought about it in that direction. After all, he did not have friends of the opposite sex, and he only regarded Lu Jiamei as one of the friends of the opposite sex. It was only after the classmates in the class made a fuss that he thought of this possibility.
There has always been a tacit understanding between him and Lu Jiamei, and he also doesn't feel that the other party likes him. Perhaps because of the long time together, she has become more possessive, and that's all.
The germination of youth hormones sounds simple, enjoyable, and irresponsible, but it is also the purest, without any rational thinking factors, and only relies on inner strength. He and Lu Jiamei are the opposite.
Maybe, if he didn't realize Wen Ying's influence on him, it wasn't that she kept reminding herself that she gradually became more than just a young relationship, and he and Lu Jiamei continued to get along, maybe there would be other possibilities .
But now—
"Don't do unnecessary things."
He finally talked to her.
When Wen Ying came home on the weekend, she found that Shan Yao was already sitting on the sofa. His face was pale, and there were several bandages wrapped around his right arm. There was a book on his knee, and he was flipping through it. When he heard the sound of the door opening, his gaze turned.
She took two steps up the stairs, but couldn't think of turning around and looking back, he had already looked away.
"... What's wrong with you?" She still walked down the stairs.
Sitting so eye-catching in the living room, he was obviously waiting for her to ask.
He played it lightly, but didn't mean to hide anything, "I was beaten by your little boyfriend."
