Later that day, two men in suits and ties got out of the car. Jiang Sui clearly remembered that the two men walked up to Si Nian and respectfully called him "Young Master", but he didn't react at all. He just quietly looked at Jiang Sui who was curious.

“Sui Sui, come here!”

When he smiled and waved at her, just like every time he stood at the gate of her kindergarten waiting for her after school, Jiang Sui would happily run towards him.

But when she ran over that day, he told her that he was leaving and going to a very far place.

At that time, Jiang Sui didn't know how far he meant by "far away", and thought Si Nian was just going to visit a classmate's house on the other side of the city, because before that, the farthest place he had ever been to was that classmate's house.

"Can you take me with you this time?"

She thought that if she just acted coquettishly, Si Nian would definitely take her with him this time.

But unexpectedly, he told Jiang Sui that he could not take her with him this time because he didn't know where this faraway place he was going to was.

He only told her, "Be good, listen to your mother, study hard, and learn to take care of your grandmother..."

Si Nian was very talkative that day and said a lot of weird things. Xiao Jiang Sui couldn't understand some of what he said, but she still nodded at him like a chicken pecking at rice.

When the man in the suit reminded Si Nian to get in the car, his mother and grandmother cried. Seeing this, Jiang Sui began to realize that something was wrong. She pulled Si Nian's sleeve and looked at him nervously, "Brother Nian Nian, you will be back in a few days, right?"

Si Nian was about to say something but stopped himself, and Jiang Sui's hand held him even tighter.

"Brother Nian Nian, please answer me!"

He didn't say anything, so she suddenly got angry. She hugged him tightly and shouted, "If you don't answer me, I won't let you go!"

The two of them remained in a stalemate for a long time in the summer heat, until Jiang Sui's mother and grandmother came forward and pulled the sweaty Jiang Sui aside. Only then did Si Nian get into the car, looking back every few steps.

The moment the car door closed, Jiang Sui began to struggle like crazy, shouting hysterically, "Brother Nian Nian, don't go!"

The little body burst out with unprecedented strength. Jiang Sui broke free from the restraints of her mother and grandmother, and she ran after the slowly driving away Maybach.

But the car was driving faster and faster, and Jiang Sui was getting farther and farther away from Si Nian. In the blink of an eye, the car disappeared around the corner of the intersection.

Watching Si Nian leave like this, Jiang Sui squatted on the ground and cried heartbreakingly. She could feel that her brother Nian Nian might never come back.

Just as she was thinking this, the Maybach slowly backed up, the door opened, Si Nian got out and ran towards Jiang Sui quickly.

Seeing him running back, her tearful little face instantly blossomed into a flower.

Si Nian took out a white embroidered handkerchief and wiped the moisture off Jiang Sui's face.

"Don't cry, Sui Sui..."

"Brother, you're not leaving?"

Just when Jiang Sui was delighted, Si Nian took out an MP3 player from his pocket, handed it to Jiang Sui along with a handkerchief, and told her , "Listen and read more about foreign languages, and practice diligently. Do you remember our agreement?"

Jiang Sui looked at the MP3 in his hand and nodded seriously.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in Jingbei then."

"Wash my handkerchief for me, next time..."

Jiang Sui suddenly raised his head and asked, "Next time, next time what?"

"Remember to give it back to me next time we meet!"

Then Si Nian was taken by the car to a place called Jiangnan.

My mother told Guo Jiangsui that the only relative of Nian Nian was in that place. At that time, she was still young and could not fully understand the accurate definition of relatives. She even asked her mother, "Aren't we also his relatives?"

At that time, my mother just smiled and didn't answer.

Later, when Jiang Sui grew up, she understood that the relatives that adults talked about at that time were those related by blood, but there was no such blood relationship between them and Si Nian. Even if they were very close, they were not relatives in the true sense.

The black Land Rover quickly passed through the neon lights of the city, and only stopped safely when it encountered a red light at the intersection.

One minute into the countdown, Si Nian picked up his phone, seemingly replying to a message. Jiang Sui glanced at him casually, but Si Nian's eyes had been fixed on the phone. Suddenly, he asked her, "Why did you suddenly want to go to Shenhai City to study at university?"

Jiang Sui was startled. Is it sudden? It seems...

Because her goal since childhood had always been Beijing City, but she suddenly changed her mind just before filling out her application form.

She didn't know how to tell Si Nian the reason, so she simply remained silent. After all, they were not that familiar with each other now, and there was no need to reveal all her family affairs to an outsider.

Seeing that Jiang Sui didn't say anything, Si Nian turned his head and glanced at her.

"Did you have a conflict with Uncle Jiang?"

"No!"

Jiang Sui's heart tightened and he denied it.

She didn't know what Jiang Guodong had said to Si Nian, but her intuition told her that Si Nian didn't know the inside story.

Si Nian locked his phone, stared at her for a while, looked at her uneasy look, and said "tsk" softly, and the car sped on the road again.

Perhaps it was a little late and there were not many cars on the road, so Si Nian quickly turned the car into the university town. Jiang Sui saw him raise his wrist to look at his watch, and then the car began to slow down and finally stopped on a slightly busy street.

Si Nian picked up the phone and slid his bony fingers across it. Although he didn't look away, he seemed to notice Jiang Sui's surprised gaze. He suddenly said, "It's probably too late to check in at school at this time. Where are you going to stay, a hotel or a B&B?"

Jiang Sui changed her flight ticket at the last minute. The most suitable flight to Shenhai City today was the one near the evening, but she expected that she would definitely miss the registration time today, so Jiang Sui had already booked a homestay near the school online while waiting at the airport.

"Don't bother. I've already booked a B&B before coming here. Here's the address. Just take me there!"

Jiang Sui found the address sent to her by the B&B owner on the map on her mobile phone and handed it to Si Nian.

The B&B is not far from Shenda University, in a semi-enclosed old community. The owner of the B&B is a warm-hearted middle-aged aunt. She greeted the security guard, and Si Nian drove the car directly to the downstairs of the B&B.

The homestay is on the third floor of a multi-story building. The lights in the corridor are dim and sometimes on and sometimes off. The shabby walls are covered with various small advertisements. Such a corridor environment always makes people easily think of some bad things.

Jiang Sui's brows were slightly furrowed as she went upstairs. The landlady walked in front of her. If Si Nian hadn't been following her silently, Jiang Sui really wouldn't have dared to follow her in.
