The voices of two people apologizing sounded at the same time. Jiang Sui looked up suddenly and found that the person in front of him was Si Nian. He was wearing a blue-gray short-sleeved work suit, and the white gloves on his hands had a few mottled black stains. There were a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

The moment he saw clearly that the person coming was Jiang Sui, Si Nian's eyes flickered obviously, but he quickly hid it behind a calm expression.

Jiang Sui was a little surprised to meet Si Nian here, especially when he saw Si Nian's outfit.

In Jiang Sui's mind, during the years when she couldn't see him, she imagined Si Nian to be dressed in a suit and tie, looking like a domineering boss, or a technical elite in a casual shirt. But she could never imagine that Si Nian would be like this when they met again.

What happened to him in these years? How could Si Nian, who was so outstanding when he was young and was an orphan of a wealthy family, do the lowest level of work in society now?

Jiang Sui's heart began to ache, and her eyes were filled with mist. She pursed her lips to prevent the mist from turning into water drops and falling down.

She wanted to say something to Si Nian, but she couldn't open her mouth. Instead, Si Nian's clear and deep voice came from above her head first.

"Military training is over?"

Si Nian wiped the sweat from his head with the back of his hand and looked at Jiang Sui calmly.

Jiang Sui nodded.

"Come to eat with classmates?"

Jiang Sui nodded again.

"..."

"Master, is it fixed?"

At this time, the question from the young lady at the cashier counter interrupted their embarrassment in time.

"Oh, all right!" Si Nian turned around and responded, "I'll pack up and leave right away. The fee is still the same as before. Ask your manager to transfer it to me via WeChat."

Si Nian packed up his tool bag and looked at Jiang Sui who had been standing by and said, "Let's go eat. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Si Nian picked up his tool bag and left. Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly chased after him to the door.

Si Nian got on the electric scooter and turned the key. She looked up and saw Jiang Sui hurriedly chasing after her, looking at her with a slightly frown.

"What's up?"

After seeing Si Nian's figure outside the door, Jiang Sui's anxious mood suddenly relaxed. She pursed her lips and walked down the stairs step by step until she stood beside Si Nian.

Jiang Sui put her hands behind her back and lowered her head. She didn't know how to ask what she wanted to ask. She was afraid that if she really asked, it would embarrass Si Nian. In the end, the only thing she could say was, "Where... do you live?"

Perhaps Si Nian didn't expect that she was eager to chase him out just to ask this. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "What? Do you want to visit?"

Jiang Sui was a little embarrassed, but he still stubbornly replied, "Is it not possible?"

Si Nian was stunned. He had just said it casually to tease her, but he didn't expect her to actually respond.

He cleared his throat, lowered his head to look at the dashboard of the electric motorcycle, and said in a low voice, "There's nothing to see in my place."

Jiang Sui didn't really want to visit where Si Nian lived. She just didn't know what to say and just asked a random question. But when she saw Si Nian's evasive look, she had an urge to cry. At this moment, she really wanted to go and see what kind of environment Si Nian lived in now.

After being rejected by him, the little girl beside him didn't make any sound. Si Nian raised his head to look at her again. When he saw her, his heart tightened silently. Jiang Sui's pair of peach blossom eyes were filled with crystal tears, and she was staring at him motionlessly.

He suddenly felt a sense of defeat and sighed, "Okay! Don't cry, little ancestor, you can do whatever you want!"

Jiang Sui was like this when she was a child. Whenever he disagreed with something she did, she would look at him with tears in her eyes, and then he could only surrender helplessly and let her do whatever she wanted.

Seeing Si Nian's helpless look, Jiang Sui immediately burst into laughter. In his impression, Si Nian seemed to often have this expression as if he was helpless.

The two people looked at each other, and probably because they both recalled the scenes of their childhood, they both curled up the corners of their mouths at the same time.

At this moment, a pleasant cell phone ringtone suddenly rang. Jiang Sui recognized it as the English version of "Paper is Short, Love is Long". Si Nian took out the cell phone from his work clothes pocket and answered it.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Si Nian hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Sui.

"Want to go to work?"

Si Nian nodded and said, "Well, let's go back and eat. Eat more. The fat white guy has turned into a thin black guy!" After saying that, Si Nian turned the car around and prepared to leave.

When Jiang Sui saw Si Nian reminding him to eat more, he nodded silently and suddenly realized the meaning of his last sentence. Why did it seem so wrong?

Jiang Sui reacted and yelled at Si Nian, "Hey, when did I become a fat white guy?"

Si Nian smiled and turned the handlebars, "Let's go, call me if you need anything."

Jiang Sui kept staring at Si Nian's back as he got farther and farther away until he was lost in the crowd.

After this reunion, Jiang Sui felt that Si Nian seemed to be a little different, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Before, she always thought that the grown-up Si Nian was different from the childhood Si Nian. However, today she realized that he was indeed different. He seemed to be hiding many secrets that Jiang Sui could neither guess nor see.

"Still watching?"

Hearing the voice, Jiang Sui turned around suddenly and saw Xiao Wen standing on the steps looking at her.

"Why did you take so long to go to the bathroom?"

Jiang Sui didn't respond. She was in a complicated mood. She walked up the stairs and came to Xiao Wen, "Go back!"

"That was your brother just now, wasn't it?" Xiao Wen didn't wait for Jiang Sui to speak, and continued to speak, "I have a good eye. Your brother looks more and more handsome the more I look at him. Even a work suit can't hide his charming temperament."

Jiang Sui felt a little embarrassed listening to Xiao Wen's continuous praises for Si Nian.

"Hey, what does your brother do for a living?"

Faced with her sudden change of topic, Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment, shook his head at Xiao Wen, and said, "I don't know..."

Xiao Wen looked at Jiang Sui as if he had seen a ghost, "Is that really your brother?"

Jiang Sui felt a little guilty about this question. She didn't know how Si Nian viewed her now, but in her heart, Si Nian was her brother, and always had been, no matter what he became...

The first day of college life always feels fresh and exciting.

After finishing an intense morning of classes in the Translation Department, Jiang Sui and his two roommates were starving, but they seemed to have endless energy. The three of them ran to the cafeteria to eat, chattering side by side.

While waiting in line for food, Xiao Wen was still complaining to Mu Nan and the others about how difficult the morning classes were. She was listening to a foreign language when suddenly a sharp female voice called out, "Hey, look, Xie Xingzhou is here in the cafeteria."

The surrounding environment suddenly became quiet, and Jiang Sui and the other two followed the crowd's gaze and looked towards the cafeteria entrance.

I saw a sunny and handsome boy in white sportswear striding in, followed by a few boys. They were talking and laughing, and I didn't know what they were talking about.

Jiang Sui recognized at a glance that he was the boy who came to the barbecue stall with Mu Nan that day. Jiang Sui glanced at Mu Nan behind him, and she was also staring at the boy without blinking.

It turns out that the boy’s name is Xie Xingzhou, also a student of Shen University. But how did he know Si Nian?

Seeing that they seemed to be very familiar with each other that day, Jiang Sui unconsciously began to look at the boy and did not notice that several boys had already come to the team next to them.

As soon as Xie Xingzhou came over, he saw Mu Nan. He knew this girl, but he was not very familiar with her. She was the daughter of his mother's college classmate. She had just come to Shenda to study. Her mother asked him to take care of her, so he treated her to a meal on the first day she came.

What’s interesting is that this girl who looks so gentle and kind actually likes to eat barbecue.

And the sweet-looking girl next to Mu Nan, isn't she the girl next to Brother Jiu that day? What a coincidence, they are from the same school.
