Jiang Sui cleared his throat and looked straight at Xie Xingzhou.

"Where is Si Nian?"

"What?" Xie Xingzhou looked puzzled, as if he didn't hear clearly, "Who are you talking about?"

Jiang Sui repeated, "Si Nian, where is Si Nian?"

Xie Xingzhou was confused now. He asked Jiang Sui puzzledly, "Who is Si Nian?"

Xie Xingzhou actually didn't know who Si Nian was, but the two of them looked very familiar that night, so it was impossible for them not to know each other.

Jiang Sui thought that the only possibility was that Xie Xingzhou didn't know Si Nian's real name, so she changed the way she asked.

"Brother Jiu, where is the brother you mentioned?"

When Xie Xingzhou heard that Jiang Sui was asking about his ninth brother, he immediately smiled in a gangster way.

"So you're here to ask me about Brother Nine. Aren't you Brother Nine's girlfriend? Why ask me where he is? You can just ask him directly. Why ask me?"

"I just don't know where he is...he won't tell me even if I ask."

"Brother Jiu must have his reasons for not telling you, so I can't tell you either."

Then Xie Xingzhou approached Jiang Sui with a naughty look and whispered in her ear, "Does Brother Nine no longer want you? How about I humble myself and accept you?"

Jiang Sui took a step back and glared at him.

This guy really has a thousand faces. Sometimes he is gentle and serious, sometimes he is unruly, and sometimes he is evil and charming. Perhaps the fans in his school have not seen his latter two faces, so they regard him as a male god.

If she wanted to get something out of him, she really had to think of a way.

Seeing Jiang Sui's expression, Xie Xingzhou smiled nonchalantly and stood up to leave, "Forget it if you don't want to. I'm hungry. I'm going to eat first."

Just as Xie Xingzhou was about to walk away from Jiang Sui, Jiang Sui suddenly turned around and shouted at him, "I'm pregnant!"

Xie Xingzhou immediately stopped and looked back at Jiang Sui, then looked around and walked back to Jiang Sui.

"Fuck, girl, keep your voice down! Someone who doesn't know the situation might think I did something to you!"

Jiang Sui said nothing, but just stared at him with her peach blossom eyes.

After a pause, Xie Xingzhou's expression suddenly became serious, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Ninth Brother's?"

Jiang Sui still didn't answer, but raised his head slightly and said stubbornly, "Take me to find him!"

Xie Xingzhou paced back and forth in front of Jiang Sui in embarrassment, and finally grabbed Jiang Sui's wrist and walked towards the cafeteria.

Jiang Sui struggled and shouted at him, "What are you doing?"

Xie Xingzhou replied helplessly, "Let's eat, I'll take you there after dinner!"

The evil plan succeeded, Jiang Sui laughed secretly in his heart, and the joy diluted everything, including the strange looks cast at them along the way.

In the afternoon, Xie Xingzhou changed his clothes and took Jiang Sui out.

Jiang Sui followed Xie Xingzhou on a bus for half an hour and got off the bus in a downtown area with tall buildings. Then he turned a few streets with him and stopped in a slightly dilapidated alley.

"Well, Brother Nine is usually here, but I don't know if he's in the store right now."

Xie Xingzhou looked at Jiang Sui and raised his chin towards an inconspicuous little shop.

Jiang Sui looked in the direction he pointed and saw a small repair shop with a sign that read "Wenjiu Mobile Phone and Computer Quick Repair".

Wenjiu, is this Sinian’s nickname?

No wonder Xie Xingzhou called him Ninth Brother, it turned out to be because of this wine.

Jiang Sui suddenly felt her steps heavy. With only a door between them, she had the freedom to explore the world, but Si Nian was trapped in this corner.

Jiang Sui stood outside the door and stared at the billboard for a long time. Xie Xingzhou couldn't help but remind her, "Hey, you're already at the door, go in!"

Xie Xingzhou opened the door, and before anyone entered, he called inside, "Is Brother Jiu here?"

He walked around inside and said to himself, "Hey, why is there no one here?"

Jiang Sui followed Xie Xingzhou into the store. The lighting in the store was not very good, and the lights were on even during the day.

A boy who was about the same age as Jiang Sui came out with wet hands. He greeted Xie Xingzhou with a smile and said, "He's upstairs. I'll go call him."

Jiang Sui, who had just come in from outside, was not used to the light in the room for a moment. She rubbed her eyes before she could see the layout of the room clearly.

The room is not big, with two chairs on each side of the door. Further inside are two maintenance tables. On both sides of the maintenance tables are stainless steel shelves on the wall, which are filled with electronic accessories and some old computers.

A set of glass counters separated the chairs at the door from the two repair tables inside. Jiang Sui stood outside the counter and saw a laptop computer with its casing removed placed on a repair table, with some repair tools and accessories scattered on the table.

There was a rusty iron staircase next to the workbench, and the boy had just gone upstairs from there.

This is Si Nian’s job. Jiang Sui couldn’t imagine what made this once proud man give up his dreams, his promise to himself, and be willing to stay in this small corner.

Seeing Si Nian’s real living environment, Jiang Sui’s eyes became red again.

"Why did Xingzhou come at this time?"

Si Nian's low voice came from upstairs. Jiang Sui looked towards the stairs, but he didn't see anyone yet, but he could hear the sound of "dong dong" footsteps.

Jiang Sui turned her back and sorted out her emotions. She didn't want Si Nian to see how sad she was.

The "dong dong" sound was getting closer. Jiang Sui took a breath and turned around, and the "dong dong" sound stopped abruptly.

Si Nian stood on the last step. When his eyes met Jiang Sui's angry peach blossom eyes, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. After the surprise, there was silence, endless silence.

"Why did you bring her here?"

After seeing Xie Xingzhou standing nearby, Si Nian questioned unhappily.

Xie Xingzhou changed his usual playful expression, walked to Si Nian's side with a serious expression, and whispered to him.

As Si Nian listened, he frowned and looked at Jiang Sui. His eyes were as dark as ink, which made Jiang Sui tremble all over.

Jiang Sui thought it was over, Xie Xingzhou must have told Si Nian everything she had lied to him about, and now his eyes could see through her body.

Alas, she really had no choice. Who made him avoid her on purpose?

"Okay, you go back first."

After hearing this, Xie Xingzhou ran away as if he had been pardoned, and before leaving he gave Jiang Sui a look that said "May you be lucky".

After Xie Xingzhou left, Si Nian sent his apprentice Xiao Hai out to see a customer off, leaving Jiang Sui and Si Nian alone in the store.

For a while, neither of them spoke. Si Nian continued to sit at the workbench and continue working on his unfinished work, as if Jiang Sui didn't exist.

Jiang Sui didn't understand what Si Nian meant. Was he deliberately leaving her alone?
