Chapter 18: Moving
Ah Jiu's heart trembled when he heard IU's voice, and he couldn't help but hesitate. How could he want to give up this hard-won family affection, but he knew better that if he didn't leave, the family affection would also be lost, and it would definitely be lost. And if you leave, there may be a glimmer of possibility.
Ruthlessly, he sighed and patted the position next to him: "Come and sit, brother will tell you a story and coax you to sleep." ”
"Hmm. When IU heard Ah Jiu say this, he thought he was not leaving, so he sat down happily. Ah Jiu divided half of her quilt to cover her legs so as not to catch a cold, and took the pillow in her hand to help her cushion her back.
"Brother, what kind of story are you telling?" IU naturally pulled Ah Jiu's arm and wanted to lean comfortably on his shoulder, but this time Ah Jiu was not as cooperative as before: "You are already twenty years old, you can't be like a child anymore." ”
IU was slightly stunned, and Ah Jiu continued: "In your heart, am I a man or a brother?"
This question is so strange, IU frowned, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't my brother a man?"
"Of course not. Ah Jiu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said, he had his own set of explanations: "If you treat me as a man, then you should call me Oppa, but I think of myself as your brother, just like what I did to you just now, if I treat you as a woman, I will never do it." ”
IU's brows furrowed even tighter: "What does that brother do you think of me?"
"Kids. ”
"Kid?"
"Yes, kid. Ah Jiu's tone seemed to be stating a fact, and IU looked at him in disbelief, feeling more and more aggrieved. How could this be, how could he only treat me as a child......
"Shouldn't it be like this?"
IU was stunned suddenly, yes, shouldn't it be like this? What am I thinking, he is an older brother, he is just an older brother, and it is clearly written in the contract that he is just an older brother. This clause was written by myself, how can this be the case now?
"You like me?"
"No ......" IU subconsciously denied, but only half of the syllables came out. The word 'no' can't be said in a dignified manner.
"If you like me, I can only say I'm sorry to you. I have the confidence to be a good brother, but I don't have the confidence to be a good boyfriend. And the differences between us are too great, not only financial resources, but even hobbies, ways of looking at things, almost everything is different. None of these are necessary conditions to be brother and sister, so it doesn't matter, but as a couple, these are necessary conditions, and we will definitely quarrel often and finally break up. Is this the relationship you want?"
"No......" IU muttered, his eyes blank. She suddenly felt sad, not because she was rejected, but because she hated the tone of her brother and sister's heart-to-heart conversation. Why do you say no, no, why don't you even give a chance, and just block all possibilities?
IU secretly looked at Ah Jiu, there was no expression on his face, he looked so cold against the moonlight.
Is it because he doesn't like me, doesn't he like me?
"I cherish you as my sister, and if you want, I can do my best to shelter you from the wind and rain for the rest of my life. Ah Jiu touched IU's head and said, "Brother didn't mean it just now, can you forgive me?"
"No ......" Hearing Ah Jiu mention what happened just now, IU's face was still hot: "It's not about my brother's business, I have to ......" said that he couldn't go on, how could he seem to take the initiative, although this is the case, but it is still a bit ...... to admit it in person
IU diverted the topic and said, "Brother, do you have to move out?" and no one knows, why don't we just forget what happened just now?"
"How can it be so easy to forget, can you do it?" Ah Jiu thought for a while and said, "Actually, when I lived here, I didn't plan to live forever. Although no one knows that we live together now, how long can we hide it? The reporter will not talk about it, and you have a lot of illegitimate food. I'm your brother, and I should protect you, not cause you trouble. So I'm definitely going to move out, just a little bit earlier. ”
Speaking of which, IU couldn't keep it anymore, and wilted: "You're still ready to give up on me." ”
"Silly girl, I did this so as not to give up on you. Ah Jiu reached out and touched his mobile phone, opened a text message and showed IU: "I downloaded an app to rent a house just now, and guess what? It just so happens that the top floor of this building is being rented." I just contacted the landlord, he is going to work in the United States for a year, and he is in a hurry to rent out the house, the rent is very reasonable, and the attic is free. I'm going to sublet the attic to Wu He, what do you think?"
"Wow......" IU gave Ah Jiu a disgusted expression: "Brother, you are so fine, this is all calculated, it is really picky." ”
"Is it easy for me to save the money I saved to buy meat for you to eat, and to feed a greedy sister?"
"So that's ......" IU immediately smiled, hugged Ah Jiu's arm, and said coquettishly: "I know that my brother is the best, hurry up and tell me a story, don't tell me what I've heard!"
"Of course you haven't heard it, I'll tell you a story about "The Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood"?"
"Brother, are you really three years old?"
It's noisy and noisy, and it's late at night. It's like a page of a book has been turned over, and none of the brothers and sisters have ever mentioned what happened today. Perhaps this is a compromise, for them, the relationship between brother and sister is obviously more important than the love between men and women.
As for whether the seeds buried in the heart will sprout, I'm afraid only the person concerned knows.
……
Early in the morning, the landlord called to make an appointment, yesterday the rent has been discussed, saving a lot of time, checking the real estate certificate, signing the rental contract, online bank transfer, everything is done in less than half an hour.
It's just a matter of moving downstairs to upstairs. Ah Jiu packed his things and checked in with his suitcase. The original owner's things have basically been taken away, and the only things that can't be taken away are things like the dining table, and as for the electrical appliances such as televisions and microwave ovens, I heard that they were all sent to their parents' houses by the homeowners. Since they are planning to rent out for a long time, they are ready for everything.
The bed in the bedroom was not moved, and Ah Jiu unceremoniously occupied it. He just bought a folding bed for two days and it was cheaper than Wu He, but in fact, it was not cheap, and he could only live in the attic after paying half of the rent, which was also a bit miserable. But Wu He felt better, the rooftop space was large, and he could be used as a rehearsal venue.
Ah Jiu had just made the bed, and before all the things he brought were put away, the mobile phone suddenly rang, and a crisp female voice came: "Park Canrong Xi?"
Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that his identity certificate had been changed, and responded: "It's me, who are you?"
"Please come to tvN at one p.m. for the interview, enter at the east entrance, conference room No. 1 on the third floor, and bring your resume and ID card. ”
"Where is the address......?"
Before the words were finished, they had already hung up.
"tvN?"
