Chapter 39
Eh, why hasnt Shang Jin come back when its so late?
Ye Zhou looked up and said to Liu Yutian in the upper bunk, He went home today.
Shang Jins home was local, but how often he went home was similar to students who lived in other parts of the country.
This was the first time that Shang Jin returned home during a short vacation.
Went home? Lying on the bed and tapping his fingers on the mobile phone screen, Liu Yutian inquisitively said, He didnt go back during the Qingming three-day holiday. Why did he go back today?
Wen Renxu said, Yeah, and tomorrows the sports competition. Hes not competing?
Besides from knowing Shang Jins whereabouts, Ye Zhou also wasnt very clear about his motives for returning home. I also dont know why. He said hell come over tomorrow morning. In any case, Shang Jin was an adult, so he also didnt need to report to his roommates on what he was doing outside.
On the other side, Shang Jin was sitting in the living room. Shang Youyou was affixed to his side, stretching out her little fork to the fruit plate on the coffee table and forking a strawberry to totteringly send it to Shang Jins mouth. Big brother, eat.
Shang Jin opened his mouth to eat, smiling at Shang Youyou. Shang Youyou immediately hugged Shang Jins arm and shyly lowered her head.
Let Youyou go to school with you tomorrow? Shang Qingping muttered irresolutely to himself, Youyou is too young. Wouldnt it be inconvenient?
Shang Youyou feared that her dad wouldnt agree, and couldnt help but shyly urge, I want to go with big brother!
Shang Jin picked up a strawberry as a reward and sent it to Shang Youyous mouth. But the strawberry was too big and Shang Youyous mouth was too small. Because she was fed by Shang Jin, she wanted to eat it all in one go. As a result, the strawberry juice dripped and covered everything.
Sorry. Shang Jin pulled out a napkin and helped Shang Youyou wipe dry the stains. When he fed Shang Youyou another strawberry, he lifted it up to let her little mouth take a bite.
Shang Jin is a steady person and can definitely take good care of Youyou, Qin Fei persuaded, Just let them go together. Shang Jin being good to Shang Youyou was a good thing that one could only wish for. When Qin Fei had come into the family, because Shang Jins age wasnt considered young and was opinionated, her heart knew that she couldnt coax him. Having tried to please him all along, now that Shang Jin was taking the initiative to accept them, she was much more comfortable at home now.
Shang Qingping nodded and said, Thats fine, but remember to send her back home at night.
Early the next morning, Shang Youyou changed her habit of sleeping in. After waking up, she opened wide her eyes and obediently let Qin Fei dress her.
At eight oclock, Shang Jin yawning, went out with Shang Youyou. He sat Shang Youyou in the safety seat and sat in the drivers seat himself.
They arrived at school close to nine oclock.
When it comes to Shang Jin, he was originally a school celebrity, so carrying Shang Youyou who was dressed like a princess attracted many peoples attention.
Although the crowd of onlookers anxiously wanted to know who the child carried by Shang Jin was, no one had the courage to ask.
Until he joined up with Ye Zhou on the sports field.
Aiya, whos this beautiful little princess? The moment Ye Zhou saw the young girl in Shang Jins arms, he immediately knew the others identity. He ran over in a few steps. Originally, he was very approachable, not to mention now when he was striving to spread his kindness outward.
Shang Youyou was originally hanging onto Shang Jins neck. After hearing the voice, she looked towards the person that had come. With this glance, she was directly dumbfounded.
After waiting for a long time, he still didnt received the Shang family little princesss reply. The other side just stared blankly at him without any intention of opening her mouth. Ye Zhou was unable to maintain the smile on his face. He looked at Shang Jin as if asking for his help.
Shang Jin called out, Youyou?
Shang Youyou, as if not hearing it, still foolishly stared at Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou unobtrusively moved over to Shang Jins side, and leaned in to Shang Jins ear and tactfully asked, Your little sister didnt sleep well? In fact, he even wanted to ask, why is your sister a bit foolish. Clearly the last time shed seemed very clever.
Shang Jin was also bewildered. He whispered, No, she was still high-spirited in the car just now. Saying this, Shang Jin shook his arms. Shang Youyou immediately came back to her senses. She looked at Ye Zhou again, and then directly buried her face in Shang Jins shoulder, and wouldnt come out no matter how she was coaxed.
Ye Zhou was greatly wounded. Hed always felt that he was very approachable. He didnt expect that hed bump into a wall with Shang Jins little sister.
Shang Jin awkwardly said, She may not have slept well.
Ye Zhou resentfully said, Then let her sleep.
Walking for a while, they met Zhou Wendao and Xu Yangjun.
The two of them looked at the little girl in Shang Jins arms and the two were petrified on the spot.
Based on his understanding from a year of living together, Ye Zhou saw the two mens expressions and knew that theyd already visualized a scene of dogs blood [melodramatic] family drama. Rushing before they could babble their nonsense, he introduced, This is Shang Jins little sister.
Zhou Wendao breathed out a huge sigh of relief and said, Turns out its a sister.
Hello, little sister. Xu Yangjun walked behind Shang Jin, wanting to chat with Shang Youyou.
Ye Zhou said, Shes sleeping. Dont disturb her.
However, Ye Zhous words just fell, Shang Youyou raised her little face and responded to Xu Yangjun, Hi, big brother.
Ye Zhou simply didnt dare to believe that hed actually suffered defeat at Xu Yangjuns hand.
Aiya, she looks like a little angel, deserving to be Shang Jins little sister.
Without looking, they could feel the negative energy emitting from Ye Zhous entire body. Shang Jin also couldnt understand it. It was because Ye Zhou had said he liked children that hed brought Shang Youyou. He didnt expect that Shang Youyou would be very good with others, but why was she so resistant to Ye Zhou?
Seeing Shang Youyou not only pay attention to Xu Yangjun, but even politely greeted Zhou Wendao, and only being so indifferent to him, he sourly said with a face without love, You guys should happily and merrily play together. Let me, this broken-winged angel whod been abandoned by the little princess, lick my wounds alone.
Xu Yangjun and Zhou Wendao had finally found a sense of superiority with Ye Zhou, and insincerely comforted him, Zhou, theres nothing to be done. This is personal charm!
Right, in the childrens world, wheres the concept of beauty and ugliness? If youre pleasing to the eye, then theyd talk to you. If youre not pleasing to the eye, theyd be unwilling to respond. Xu Yangjun tut-tutted twice and deliberately said, Little children are so capricious!
While the two people were deriding Ye Zhou, Shang Jin carrying Shang Youyou walked to one side and set Shang Youyou on the ground. He crouched down and whispered, What do you think of the first brother you saw?
Shang Youyou clutched at the corner of her clothes and, blushing with a timid look at Ye Zhou, said, That big brother looks really nice.
Looking at Shang Youyous expression, Shang Jins heart steadied a lot. He continued to ask, Then do you like him?
Like Shang Youyou held Shang Jins neck and whispered in his ear, I also want to talk to him, but Im embarrassed. Especially because shed foolishly stared at him as soon as theyd met
Shang Jin saw a bright yellow wildflower in the weeds and whispered a few words in Shang Youyous ear. Shang Youyou heard it and took a few small steps to the little wildflower. She carefully picked it and, under Shang Jins encouraging gaze, walked before Ye Zhou with her hands behind her back.
Upon seeing Shang Youyou come over, Xu Yangjun and Zhou Wendao solicitously asked, Little treasure, are you looking for us brothers for something?
Shang Youyou, under the two peoples expectant gazes, walked in front of Ye Zhou, took out the hands behind her back, stuck out the hand holding a small wildflower and said, Brother Ye, for you.
Ye Zhou unexpectedly said, For me?
Shang Youyou nodded.
Thank you. Ye Zhou knelt down and took the small flower. He placed it at the tip of his nose and sniffed. Then, he took the small flower and tucked it behind Shang Youyous ear, and said, The flower matches the little princess, really beautiful.
Shang Youyou squinted her eyes and bashfully smiled at Ye Zhou. Soon after, she took down the newly-bought cherry hairclip that shed insisted on wearing this morning and reciprocated by putting on on Ye Zhous head. Only, because she was too young, her hand coordination wasnt too good and she barely hung it on Ye Zhous hair.
Ye Zhou didnt mind wearing a childs hairclip, and still raised his head to ask Shang Jin, Looks good?
Shang Jin disdainfully said, Ugly to death.
Shang Youyou hurriedly comforted Ye Zhou, Not ugly, not ugly, its very beautiful!
The childrens liking was often very straightforward. After the shy period in the beginning, Shang Youyou wasnt reserved at all and let Ye Zhou lead her along by the hand, and moreover, from calling Ye Zhou Brother Ye, it was upgraded to Brother Zhou Zhou.
The two peoples event was in the afternoon. After eating lunch, Shang Jin had spoken with the dorm manager aunt and brought Shang Youyou back to the dormitory.
Shang Youyou slowly sucked on a small box of milk. Sucking a mouthful, she placed the straw in front of Shang Jin and said, Big brother, drink.
Shang Jin took a sip. Shang Youyou passed the straw again to Ye Zhou and said, Brother Zhou Zhou, drink.
Sharing a straw and whatnot was still a bit too intimate. Shang Jin and Shang Youyou were brother and sister so it didnt matter, but he himself was an outsider, and no matter how he thought, it was still unsuitable. Ye Zhou tactfully declined, I cant drink anymore. Im really full from eating lunch. If I drink, Im afraid my belly would explode.
Shang Youyou uttered a disappointed oh first, then giggled, Brother Zhou Zhous belly is going to explode.
Shang Jin brought Shang Youyou to the dorm and immediately attracted the onlookers from the two neighboring dorms. Afraid of scaring the other party, they only dared to look with their two eyes from afar.
At this time, the benefits of being roommates were reflected. Liu Yutian teased Shang Youyou with a lollipop. Shang Youyou took it but didnt eat, handing it Shang Jin instead.
Shang Youyou yawned, and Shang Jin put the lollipop away and said, Sleep for a while, and then eat again when you get up.
Okay. Shang Youyou rubbed her eyes and Shang Jin carried her to the bed. In less than two minutes, her little chest rhythmically drifted up and down.
Ye Zhou came out of the bathroom and saw that Shang Youyou was lying on Shang Jins bed. I didnt expect your little sister to be so close with people, unlike a certain someone.
Shang Jin bantered, Forgetting so soon? Youyou didnt care about you at first.
When we ate at noon, she told me that it was because she thought I was too handsome and felt embarrassed, so she was like that. Ye Zhou looked sidelong at him and proudly said, At that time, I asked her: your brother and me, whos more handsome? Guess what she said?
Shang Jin answered irrelevantly, Youyou needs to improve her vision.
Ye Zhou was blocked by him and couldnt continue. He snorted and said, Children would say one is one and two is two.
Sleeping until 1:30, Shang Jin called Shang Youyou up. Shang Youyou wanted to dawdle a bit in bed, groaned twice, unwilling to get up.
Ye Zhou tore off the lollipop wrapper, put the lollipop in front of Shang Youyou and asked, Baby, look whats this?
Shang Youyou opened her eyes and woke up. She opened her mouth, wanting to take it, but Ye Zhou quickly took it away. Shang Youyou acted spoiled and said, Brother Zhou Zhou, I want to eat it.
Get up and Ill give it to you to eat.
Shang Youyou climbed down. After taking a nap, her two ponytails had become two braids turned up to heaven. Ye Zhou saw this and laughed for half a day, but soon, he couldnt laugh anymore. Brother Zhou Zhou, comb my hair for me.
Ah? Ye Zhou had never done this kind of handiwork, and the horsetail looked simple, but tying it wasnt simple. Ye Zhou knew himself well and said, Let your big brother tie it up.
Shang Youyou pulled on Ye Zhous finger and swung it while saying, Brother Zhou Zhou and big brother tie it up together
Wen Renxu gloated to the side, Its not always good to be adored by children.
It shouldnt be too hard. Shang Jin let Shang Youyou sit on a stool, bent down and carefully undid the left braid. He said, You comb the right side.
At this moment, the two seemed to come back to the time theyd spray painted the little pedicab.
After the work was finished, looking at Shang Youyous two ponytails, Wen Renxu sighed, No wonder why the Shang Ye number was defiled by you two to become like that.
Ye Zhou:
Shang Jin was undisturbed and said, I think it looks pretty good.
