Chapter 46: My Brother's Heart
Xia Xi opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the person in front of him, and closed them again.
"Why are you staring at me like this every day?" There was tiredness in his voice.
Summer sat cross-legged next to Xia Xi, motionless and quietly waiting for her brother to wake up, every day.
"You can sleep a little longer." Summer said.
"Waking up and sleeping again will give you a headache all day, what are you doing? It smells so good. Xia Xi barely raised his eyelids.
"Millet porridge, boiled eggs, wraps." In the summer, breakfast was put on the small dining table in turn.
"You made this bread?"
"The finger cakes I bought, with lettuce sauce and ham sausage, are delicious burritos."
"I'm pretty good at it."
"It's very simple, I'm afraid that if you eat these things every day, you will get tired."
"It's better than what is made outside, by the way, I'll pick you up at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, you prepare it in advance."
"Why are you going?"
"Buy you a ring, the cat has been at home for almost a week, and you are not afraid of mold."
"I like to stay at home."
"It's a fun time for you to be at your age, and playing with your mobile phone at home is an old lady's retirement."
The younger sister in my impression is not like this, when I used to go to school to find her and go home with her, I could often see a group of little girls around her, talking loudly about things that were not funny, but everyone laughed crazy.
If the siblings didn't hang out together on Saturdays and Sundays, they wouldn't see her, and they would usually go crazy with their friends until late to come back.
But that was when she was in junior high school.
Sitting across from him at this time, it was difficult to get in touch with her at that time, not only did she become very quiet, but even her mobile phone was very quiet, and she could occasionally see her reply to one or two WeChat, and most of the time she was watching small videos or watching American dramas.
"Tiantian, you get along well with your roommate, right?" After eating, Xia Xi asked her.
"It's good, I'm in the same bedroom as Yanyan, and the other two girls are gentle." Summer replied.
"In the same university as Yeon-yeon! It seems that our family is in the yin and yang is declining. Xia Xi admired her cousin's intelligence.
"Actually, Yanyan's first choice was not our school, she performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination, she could have gone to the medical university she had always dreamed of, and became a pediatric doctor after graduation, but somehow she didn't go later." Summer said, "She hasn't changed much, she's still the same, by the way, you saw her last time at the villa." β
"yes, it's still so lively and 'active'." Xia Xi carefully worded and said in a joking tone, "You have changed a lot, I thought you either didn't get along with your friends in the dormitory, or you were mentally abused at home, or you were stupid in the three years of high school." β
He guessed two things right.
"When people grow up, they naturally change."
In the summer, I also want to tell him how he survived the three years of high school, and how he faced his mother who was like a living dead alone when he got home.
It's not a happy thing in the first place, and it's useless to say it except to increase sorrow.
"Haven't you become much more stable, last time I was in the villa, I thought you would drop all the takeaways on Cheng Xiaolan's face." Summer turned the conversation to Xia Xi.
"You can survive with your fists and temper, unless you mix with the underworld." There was a hint of helplessness in Xia Xi's eyes, "Don't talk about it, I'm leaving, I'll pick you up in the afternoon, I'll call you and you will go downstairs quickly." β
"Got it."
"The major is not in vain, it is simple to avoid the problem in one sentence, and you can turn around and scold me, this girl ......" Xia Xi muttered out of the door in a low voice, and was still talking to herself when she entered the elevator, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, I guess I haven't lived happily in the past few years, and the light in my eyes is gone." β
The elevator door reflected his tall and thin figure, and his handsome and emaciated cheeks made him even more melancholy.
"Alas, the light in my eyes is gone." Xia Xi looked at her dark yellow eyes, "Why didn't she find out?" Or do you think it's just a vitamin deficiency? β
How did Xia Xi know that his sister's eyes could no longer see any color, and leaving Cheng Ze, everything in her eyes was only black, white and gray.
When you get busy, time will pass quickly, and when Xia Xi feels hungry, it is almost the appointed time.
After delivering the last meal, he rushed all the way home, although he was very anxious, but after listening to his sister's words, he did not rush to the car, but every time he encountered a red light, he would be so anxious that he smashed the handle of the car a few times.
Xia Xi parked the car at the entrance of the community, and within 5 minutes of making a phone call, he saw Xia trotting all the way over.
"So fast!"
"I'm downstairs early, waiting for your call on the first floor."
"Come on, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Less than half an hour."
"Haven't come up yet?" Xia Xi turned around and saw that she was lifting the down jacket up vigorously, and it was easy to lift her buttocks, so she split her legs and sat on the back seat.
"I should buy a short down jacket." Summer put her arms around her brother's waist.
"It's useless for me to let you ride an electric car in the winter." Xia Xi said sadly.
"Electric cars are very good, some people can't even afford bicycles, so I can't afford them." Summer hugged his arm tightly.
"Where are you still buying bicycles? The streets are full of shared bicycles. Xia Xi's tone returned to normal, "Let's go." β
The cold wind blew through his ears, and his hat was blown off several times, so he simply buried his head in his brother's back and pressed his head against the front of his hat, but there was still wind blowing on his face from the left and right.
When I finally arrived at the mall, I was blown by the warm breeze at the door, and I shivered in summer.
The heat in the body has been blown away by the cold wind along the way, and now the skin is hot, but the inside is ice.
Xia Xi led the way in front, as if he was familiar with this shopping mall, and walked quickly through the flow of people, walked through the tobacco and alcohol area, and came to the real money jewelry area.
"Wait, I've got a runny nose, manβ" Summer pulled out a tissue and wiped the frozen snot.
"Runny nose?" Xia Xi stopped, turned around and wiped her with a tissue.
"It's so cold outside, colder than the last time I came." Summer said coquettishly.
"After buying the ring, let's go upstairs for dinner, it won't be cold in a while." Xia Xi said, "Come and see, what brand do you like?" β
"Everything."
"Come here."
Walking past several jewelry stores, the clerk glanced at them and continued chatting or tallying, only one clerk greeted them.
"Whatever you choose, please come in and have a look."
The shop looked quite magnificent, Xia Xi pressed Xia Xia on a chair and sat down, and then said to the clerk: "Buy a gold ring and pick a few that suit her." β
The clerk was very enthusiastic and did not discriminate against Xia Xi because of his eye-catching work clothes.
The jewelry box is lined with red flannel and more than a dozen gold rings of different styles are placed on it, all shining golden under the light.
Summer picked up this and put that down, but she couldn't make a decision, and every ring was gray in her eyes.
Then choose the most concise one.
Summer picked up a ring with a smooth surface and asked his brother, "Is this good-looking?" β
"Hmm-" Xia Xi frowned slightly, although this ring looks quite textured, but it is too plain, to put it bluntly, it is a smooth gold ring, how can a girl like such a style?
The clerk smiled and introduced: "The little beauty is very discerning, this is from the ancient inheritance series, and there are bracelets." β
"Really? Try it every day to see if the size of the circle is appropriate? Xia Xi didn't know what the ancient method inheritance was, but she just thought it sounded lofty, "The bracelet was also brought to her to try." β
The clerk thought they were a couple-to-be, and happily asked her companion to bring the bracelet.
"Just buy the ring, don't use the rest." Summer was a real surprise.
The clerk wanted to force the bracelet to put on in the summer, but when she rolled up her sleeve and found a golden bracelet first, she was only stunned for a moment, and immediately changed her wrist to try it on.
"No need." Summer retracted her wrist, "I have a bracelet, so I don't want this." β
"Didn't someone else buy it for you?" Xia Xi gave the clerk a look.
The clerk understood it and happily put it on for Summer, and then boasted with his colleagues about how beautiful the bracelet was on Summer's wrist.
"Okay, let's get a ticket." Xia Xi went to the other counters as he spoke, and the clerk hurriedly followed and introduced him to a few more earrings and necklaces.
Summer got up and stopped him: "Just one ring is enough, I really don't need anything else." β
Xia Xi picked up a pair of earrings and measured them in her ear and said, "Why can't you use them?" This one looks good, and this one is also invoiced. β
Summer hurriedly said to the clerk: "Don't don't, don't listen to him, I just want a ring." β
The clerk trotted a few steps to open the ticket, and when he heard this, he turned back: "Little beauty, our family's accessories are all pure gold, and the design is unique, to ensure that every one you buy is unique, get married, everything must be different, do you say yes." β
Xia Xi: "......"
Summer explained: "We are brother and sister. β
The clerk pursed his mouth, his eyes wide as brass bells.
Summer smiled and said calmly, "So I said I don't need these, I just need this ring." β
Xia Xi shook his head and said, "Why can't you use it?" Aren't you allowed to get married in the future? These are all dowries prepared for you by your brother. β
Trousseau!
Summer's face was intertwined with emotion and sadness, she asked Xia Xi to buy her a ring, just to leave a thought for herself in advance, but she didn't expect Xia Xi to buy her a dowry.
"No one will love me, brother, no one will love me in this world, even if I am temporarily interested, it won't be long before I will be abandoned by that person, I know, it must be like this." Summer heart said.
Her eyes were so sad that she wanted people to cry with her.
There was also something flashing in Xia Xi's eyes, even more than the diamonds on the counter, he hugged Xia Xia and said softly: "Brother is making money, don't worry, I will buy you a car in the future, the dowry here is indispensable for the car, do you have a driver's license?" If you don't have one, take one if you have time. β
Both clerks were about to cry with them.
A clerk sighed: "Where can I find such a good brother?" β
Another clerk took advantage of the fire and said, "What about necklaces and pendants?" It's better to buy them all together, I'll apply with the leader and give you a 10% discount. β
Summer: "......"
Xia Xi let go of Summer and started the option chain.
"A ...... suitable for young people" Xia Xi said to himself, "What about the thicker ones......"
"Brother, I like thin chains." Summer calmed down and said to him.
"It's all said that you don't need to save me money." Xia Xi was a little unhappy.
"I really like thin jewelry, you see my ear line, it's also small and slender, and wide jewelry I will find dull and rough, and too cheesy." Summer explained.
The clerk snapped and pressed the calculator, and the sum of several items was almost 30,000.
Summer bit her lip distressedly, how many orders does my brother have to send to earn 30,000?
