Chapter 42: Brother and Sister
The recording ended quickly, but Jiang Shiqi was still staring at her phone in the standby room, not hearing the call of the agent and Bae Joo-hyun.
"Shiqi!" Bae Zhuxun's hands expanded into a trumpet shape and said loudly in Jiang Shiqi's ear.
Jiang Shiqi was startled by the sudden sound, the mobile phone in her hand almost flew out, and when she glanced back, she saw that Pei Zhuhyun was pinching her waist and looking at her with a smile.
"Finally come back to your senses, is your mobile phone so attractive to you?" Bae Joo-hyun lightly tapped his finger to Jiang Shiqi's forehead.
Jiang Shiqi didn't speak, just squinted her eyes and smiled.
"Let's go, we have to catch up with the next announcement. Bae Joo-hyun took Jiang Shiqi's hand and turned around and walked out the door.
"Ernie. Jiang Shiqi didn't move, but grabbed Pei Zhuhyun.
"What's wrong?" Bae Joo-hyun looked at Jiang Shiqi suspiciously.
"Ernie you say, should I make peace with my brother?" Jiang Shiqi bit her lip and asked hesitantly.
"With your brother, I thought you had a boyfriend just now, and I was shocked. Bae Joo-hyun patted his chest.
"Ernie, what do you say. Jiang Shiqi shook Pei Zhuhyun's hand, "Think about the question I asked you." ”
Bae Joo-hyun looked at Jiang Shiqi with a serious face, and her eyebrows curved into a crescent moon.
"Ernie, what are you laughing at? Jiang Shiqi puffed out his mouth.
"Are you serious?" Bae Joo-hyun pinned the few strands of Jiang Shiqi's hair scattered in front to the back, touched Jiang Shiqi's head and said.
"Of course I'm serious. Jiang Shiqi shook her head, and Pei Zhuhyun's gentle touch made her feel a little itchy.
"Then you don't have to ask me this question. Pei Zhuhyun pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly, "When you asked me, you already had an answer in your heart." ”
"Isn't it?"
"You're just hoping I'll add a little more weight to the scales that are tilted in your favor. ”
Jiang Shiqi pursed her lips and looked at the corners of her clothes.
"Go find him, Shiki, and don't let yourself regret it. Bae Joo-hyun took Jiang Shiqi's hand and gently pushed her out the door.
"But Oni, I'm afraid ......"
"What are you afraid of? I'm afraid he doesn't want your sister?"
"Hmmm......"
"No matter what others say about him, but he has always been your brother, if he doesn't want to recognize you as a sister, why did he come to you that day. Bae Joo-hyun patted Jiang Shiqi's shoulder and smiled at her.
Jiang Shiqi saw Pei Zhuhyun's touching smile, and the cringe in her heart slowly dissipated.
"Ernie, I see. Jiang Shiqi clenched her small fists and nodded.
"Huh...... Don't be in a hurry, do you know where he is?"
Jiang Shiqi waved the business card in his hand, leaving Pei Zhuhyun with a firm back.
"This kid ......" Bae Joo-hyun smiled and shook his head, "I wish you success." ”
……
"Toot"
"Toot"
"Toot"
Jiang Shiqi listened to the busy sound in his hand, his face became a little embarrassed, he obviously took the initiative, this Jiang Suhe was still tense, really.
"Hey-" The phone was finally connected, and a hoarse voice came from the microphone to Jiang Shiqi's ears.
Jiang Shiqi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she still stopped and kept silent, maybe she was afraid of being rejected.
"It's Shiki, right?" Jiang Suhe said tentatively when he heard the sound of breathing on the other side of the phone.
"How do you know?" Jiang Shiqi was a little surprised, she didn't expect Jiang Suhe to be able to identify her at once.
"I know you too well. Jiang Suhe's frowning brows finally quietly relaxed after hearing Jiang Shiqi's magnetic voice, and he had been waiting for Jiang Shiqi's call.
"Hush. Jiang Shiqi pretended not to care, but she still couldn't hide the smile that bloomed in the corner of her eyes.
"Let's talk?" Jiang Suhe put down the documents in his hand and packed up his briefcase.
"Where are you going?"
"That little noodle restaurant downstairs in our house, didn't you eat?"
"Not yet. ”
"Okay, I'll be there for you. ”
"Good. ”
Jiang Shiqi looked at the phone that had been hung up, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, at this moment she felt that the air in Seoul was refreshing.
…
Jiang Shiqi pushed open the door and saw Jiang Suhe who was sitting and chatting with the boss and the proprietress .
The boss greeted her, "Shiki, come on, your brother has been waiting for you for a while." ”
Jiang Shiqi avoided Jiang Suhe's gaze and walked over with his head down, "I'm late." ”
"It's okay, I'm hungry. The boss still has two bowls of knife-cut noodles, one large and one small, and the small ones don't need coriander and green onions. Jiang Suhe was quite nostalgic for placing the order, looking at the steaming white mist in the back kitchen, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"I know, didn't you two brothers and sisters just like this before, and your ears are almost calloused. The boss waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Boss, change it to two bowls of big ones, and put the coriander and green onions normally. Jiang Shiqi listened to Jiang Suhe's words, and didn't seem to be very worthy of her heart, she raised her hand and said to the boss, but her eyes were staring at Jiang Suhe intently.
"It's been five years, and it's time for me to change a little. Jiang Shiqi noticed that Jiang Suhe's face became a little embarrassed, but she still shrugged her shoulders and said.
"That's right, it's been five years, and you're not the same as before. Jiang Suhe rubbed his palms.
Then both of them fell silent, staring at each other with wide eyes, neither of them speaking first.
The boss quickly brought the noodles up, and the hot, turquoise green onions against the broth and white flowers of the noodles couldn't help but make people's appetite move.
Jiang Shiqi sighed, looked at the emerald green floating on the noodle soup in disgust, and still picked up the chopsticks and stirred the noodle soup.
A mist rose and obscured eye contact.
"Here, eat. Jiang Suhe didn't know when he picked out the minced green onion and coriander in his noodles and pushed the bowl in front of Jiang Shiqi.
"Thank you. Jiang Shiqi blew on the piping hot noodle soup, her eyes became a little drifting, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Jiang Suhe was about to put the noodles in his mouth, but when he saw Jiang Shiqi looking at his noodle bowl in a daze, he couldn't help but put down his chopsticks.
"What's the matter?
Jiang Shiqi stroked her bangs that were wet with the fog, and replied softly, "It's nothing, I just thought of something." ”
"Let's eat first, we'll talk after eating. ”
Jiang Shiqi nodded, pressed the collar with his left hand, and rolled up a chopstick noodle with his right hand.
When the familiar aroma stimulated Jiang Shiqi's taste buds again, Jiang Shiqi choked up a little, she hadn't been here since Jiang Suhe left quietly.
But when she was a child, Jiang Suhe often picked her up from school and took her here to eat noodles, because at that time, her parents were busy with their own work and had no energy to take care of them.
The noodles were swallowed, but the tears fell into the bowl silently, and Jiang Shiqi hurriedly wiped his eyes.
The dense water vapor condensed in the air, like a cloud floating, and a pair of brothers and sisters on the cloud were playing and laughing.
