So she went from pretending to be angry to being really angry.

"Hey! Why don't you answer my calls or reply to my messages?"

"Are you afraid that I'll see this?"

"Or have you forgotten our agreement and feel guilty towards me?"

Si Nian looked at Jiang Sui meaningfully, then lowered his head and continued with his work.

After a long while, his slightly hoarse voice finally came through, and to Jiang Sui's ears it seemed as if half a century had passed.

"See all that? This is my life now, does it shock you?"

Jiang Sui did not answer Si Nian's question. It would be a lie to say that he was not shocked, but Jiang Sui was more confused. He didn't know how such an outstanding person like Si Nian, with such a family background, ended up in such a situation.

In the past few years, whenever Jiang Sui imagined Si Nian's appearance, he would always look like a gentle young master from a wealthy family. Especially in the past two or three years, she often wondered if he was one step closer to his ideal.

Si Nian once had a lofty ideal. He wanted to be a diplomat and represent the country and perform his duties around the world like his mother.

He has been working hard for this since he was a child. Ever since Jiang Sui was old enough to understand, he has spent his spare time either attending various foreign teacher classes or secretly practicing in a corner.

Sometimes when Jiang Sui bumped into him, he would pull her aside and teach her.

It was also from that time that a tacit agreement was formed between the little ones: he would be a diplomat and she would be a translator, and she would travel around the world with him.

However, when Jiang Sui was working hard alone, he gave up his ideals and betrayed their agreement.

To be honest, Jiang Sui was really surprised to see Si Nian like this.

But what right did she have to blame him? Didn’t she also fail to fulfill her promise to go to Jingbei?

So Jiang Sui said nothing.

Si Nian saw that Jiang Sui just kept looking at him but didn't say anything.

He suddenly sighed, "Go back if you see it, don't come here again, just call me if you have any problems."

There was a mist in Jiang Sui's eyes, but she still stood there motionless, stubbornly refusing to leave.

But Sinian still drove her away in a cold voice, "Jiang Sui, did you hear me? Go back quickly!"

This was the second time Si Nian called Jiang Sui's name since she arrived in Shenhai City. The first time he called her by name was to confirm whether he had recognized the wrong person, and the second time he called her by name to drive her away.

The mist in Jiang Sui's eyes gathered more and more, and finally tears flowed uncontrollably.

She said, "Si Nian, you bastard!"

Jiang Sui wiped his tears, opened the door and ran out.

She thought, how could he be so heartless!

She had been his sister for eight years. She had gone to great lengths to find him, but he ruthlessly drove her away without even a word of explanation.

He was no longer her brother, and she would never think of him again. She would just pretend that he had never been to her home.

In the past, Si Nian's parents had to stay abroad for a long time because of work. Because the environment in the country where they were assigned was not very stable, they could not bring little Si Nian with them.

Si Nian's grandfather failed to oppose his parents' marriage, so he broke off the father-son relationship with his father in anger.

And Sinian's mother was an orphan, so she had no choice but to send little Sinian to live with her best friend, Jiang Sui.

When six-year-old Si Nian first arrived at Jiang Sui's home, little Jiang Sui was only a few months old.

But Jiang Sui heard from her mother that for some reason, Jiang Sui particularly liked this little brother who had just come to her house at that time.

Whenever she cried, no one could comfort her, but as long as Xiao Sinian teased her, she would immediately smile.

So until the few years before Si Nian left, the two of them were inseparable except for going to school and sleeping.

Jiang Sui couldn't understand it. From childhood to adulthood, Si Nian had never refused any of her requests. She just wanted to know more about his current life, but he ruthlessly drove her away. She felt so wronged now.

Jiang Sui went out the door and turned left, then ran to the end of the alley crying, only to find that he had run in the wrong direction.

The No. 3 bus she needed to take to go back to school stopped at the other end of the alley, but she had to pass by Si Nian's door to go back, and she didn't want him to see her looking so aggrieved.

So Jiang Sui sat down on the curb beside the road and just cried his heart out.

Maybe she was crying too loudly, and passers-by looked at her from time to time.

She felt a little embarrassed, so she lowered her voice, buried her head between her knees, hugged her arms and continued crying, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances that had been in her heart for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, someone tapped Jiang Sui's arm.

She raised her head slightly and saw a tissue waving in front of her, making her feel dizzy.

She took it and said to the other party with a nasal voice, "Thank you!"

The other party did not respond to her. Jiang Sui first wiped her tears, then blew her nose, then crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it aside.

The man made a "tsk" sound, picked up the paper ball with his bony fingers, and threw it into the trash can beside him.

Jiang Sui looked upwards following his pointed finger and saw Si Nian staring at him intently.

The grievance that had just subsided for her suddenly surged up again when she saw Si Nian's handsome face.

"Why do you still care about me? Didn't you chase me away?"

More liquid flowed from the corners of Jiang Sui's eyes, flowed down his cheeks to under his chin, and was caught by Si Nian's warm fingertips.

"Are you feeling wronged?"

Si Nian's voice is low, with his unique magnetism.

Jiang Sui nodded while crying.

Si Nian produced a tissue from somewhere and was leaning over to wipe away the tears from her face.

"Okay, stop crying. I've come to find you. If you still feel wronged, I'll take revenge on you, okay?"

Si Nian's rough palm suddenly stretched out in front of Jiang Sui. Jiang Sui pursed his lips, put his hand on it, and stood up with the help of his strength.

"ah..."

Jiang Sui had been sitting on the curb for too long and his feet felt numb. He couldn't stand steadily when he stood up and fell towards Si Nian.

Fortunately, Si Nian was quick to straighten her up immediately, otherwise she would have been even more embarrassed.

On the way back, Jiang Sui looked at Si Nian who was walking in front of him, feeling depressed, he couldn't help but yelled behind him, "Hey, how can I get revenge?"

"It's up to you, you can take revenge however you want!"

There was a hint of laziness in Si Nian's voice, but Jiang Sui felt happy when he heard it.

Is Si Nian admitting his mistake in disguise? He won't drive her away again, right?

If he chased her away again, she would cry in his shop and annoy him to death!

If a customer happened to come into the store, she would tell the customer that her brother bullied her!

Humph, let’s see if he dares to drive her away again!

Sure enough, after she followed him back to the store, he didn't chase her away the whole afternoon. Jiang Sui sat in front of the counter and watched him busy.

It was not until the evening that Si Nian finally stopped what he was doing. He glanced at Jiang Sui, then at the wall clock, shook his head helplessly, and stood up.
