Jiang Sui stood up in a panic.

"Um, bro, good night!"

She left only one sentence and hurried upstairs.

Si Nian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look in the direction of the stairs with a smile on his face.

His Sui Sui, at the moment of looking into his eyes, seemed shy.

He didn't know whether he should be happy or worried, but he felt so excited in his heart that he couldn't suppress it.

Si Nian looked at a dark window on the second floor for a while, then turned and left.

Jiang Sui ran upstairs in one breath, entered the room, closed the door and leaned against it, not even bothering to turn on the light.

Her heart was beating wildly now, and she didn't know whether it was because she had exercised too intensely when she ran up, or because of the look in Si Nian's eyes.

What's wrong with her?

It was just an unexpected eye contact, why was she so nervous?

Unable to come up with an answer, Jiang Sui leaned against the door, trying to calm his crazy heartbeat.

After a while, the sound of a door closing was heard from next door.

Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment and guessed that Zhou Cheng from next door might have also returned.

Thinking about how she suddenly followed Si Nian and left the banquet that night without even having the chance to say hello to him, she wanted to go over and apologize to him.

She pressed the doorbell for a long time but no one answered.

"Brother Zhou, are you there?"

Lian Jiangsui called him from outside the door, but there was no response from inside.

Maybe he drank too much at the party.

Jiang Sui didn't care too much and turned back to his room to take a shower.

When she came out of the bathroom again, the doorbell rang.

Thinking it was Zhou Chengye, she quickly ran to open the door.

When the door opened, I saw a delivery guy standing outside with a paper bag in his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Si ordered medicine from Meituan. Please sign for it."

Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment, then took the signature.

After returning to her room, she opened the paper bag and found it contained iodine, ointment and Band-Aids.

It was so late, but he still remembered her foot injury, which was just a little bit of skin broken.

Jiang Sui's frantic heartbeat started again.

She covered her chest, picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Xiao Wen.

Shan Xi: Wenwen, you said that if a person looks at another person or thinks of him, his heart will beat wildly. What's going on?

Less than three seconds after this message was sent, Xiao Wen's video phone began to be bombarded with calls.

Jiang Sui sighed and answered the call.

"Tell me quickly, who did you look at that made your heart beat so fast? Was it that talented Zhou from our hospital?"

Xiao Wen was visibly excited on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment.

Hey, how come Xiao Wen immediately thought of Zhou Cheng going there too?

"No one, I'm just asking casually, if you don't answer, forget it."

Jiang Sui pretended to hang up the video call.

"Hey, come on, I didn't say I wouldn't answer! I'm just curious."

Xiao Wen leaned against the head of the bed in her dormitory, seemed to be in deep thought for a while, and then spoke with a serious expression.

"Sui Sui, according to what you said, this person might have fallen in love with another person, the kind of love between a man and a woman."

like?

Jiang Sui never dared to think that this word would be used to describe her and Si Nian.

From childhood to adulthood, she has admired and adored Si Nian, and has felt the love between family members, but she has never thought of liking him.

She treats him as a brother, how could she like him?

"Hey, Sui Sui? You seem a little weird today. What are you thinking about?"

Seeing Jiang Sui staring at her phone blankly without saying anything, Xiao Wen couldn't help but remind her.

"No, nothing."

Jiang Sui then realized that the phone was still connected to Xiao Wen.

"By the way, Sui Sui, I have news for you."

Fortunately, Xiao Wen did not ask any further questions and quickly changed the subject.

Jiang Sui also calmed down his panic.

"what news?"

"The senior girl in our dormitory might come back tomorrow to write her graduation thesis."

"oh!"

Jiang Sui is not interested in anything now, his mind is full of Si Nian.

Seeing that she was in a depressed mood and looked listless, Xiao Wen thought that she was tired after a whole day of translation, so he didn't talk to her any more. He just asked her to go to bed early and said they could talk again tomorrow, then hung up the video.

After that, Jiang Sui tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep. Although his body was very tired, his mind was very clear.

She kept thinking about Xiao Wen's words "I fell in love with another person" in her mind.

When she first heard this, she was able to convince herself that this was impossible.

Even if she liked Si Nian, it should be the kind of love a sister has for her brother, and it could never be the kind of love a girl has for a boy.

But when it was late at night and she was lying in bed, Si Nian's face kept appearing in her mind and could not be shaken off.

She thought she was crazy, how could she have such a weird habit of loving her brother?

At ten o'clock the next morning, Jiang Sui felt a little sleepy and was confused for a while.

But it seemed that I hadn't slept for long before the doorbell rang.

Jiang Sui got up sleepily and went to open the door. When he found Si Nian standing at the door, Jiang Sui was startled and quickly closed the door with a "click".

She shook her still confused head, trying to confirm whether this was a dream or reality.

Jiang Sui thought about it all night long, and even in the brief dream in the early morning, it was Si Nian.

She walked to the sink, looked in the mirror and pinched her face.

It's reality, not a dream.

Si Nian was just outside the door at this moment. Jiang Sui had no choice but to tidy up his messy hair and went to open the door again.

"elder brother..."

"What are you doing?"

The moment Jiang Sui met Si Nian's gaze, he quickly lowered his eyes.

But Sinian captured the darkness under her eyes at that moment.

"Didn't sleep well?"

Early in the morning, Si Nian's voice was still so deep and pleasant.

But when Jiang Sui heard this, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

She shook her head, paused, and nodded.

"So are you still going, Sanqiao? Or do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Ah, go! Wait for me."

Jiang Sui closed the door and went back to his room to change clothes.

It turns out this is why Si Nian came here so early.

No matter what his feelings for Si Nian are, Jiang Sui hopes that his future will get better and better.

Therefore, walking across the Sanqiao Bridge and praying for him is something Jiang Sui must do before leaving the ancient town.

Before coming here, she had thought about strolling around the ancient town when she had time, so she brought a set of sportswear with her.

I didn't expect that apart from briefly enjoying the night view of Tongli on Si Nian's back last night, I didn't have the chance to go out for a proper stroll and I have to go back today.

So she took the opportunity to walk across the three bridges in the morning and put on the sportswear and sneakers she had specially prepared.

Looking at himself in the mirror, feeling refreshed, Jiang Sui went out with satisfaction.

Si Nian, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jiang Sui exercising like this.

"This outfit obviously suits you better today. Do your feet still hurt?"

As Si Nian spoke, his eyes shifted to Jiang Sui's feet.

Jiang Sui took two steps forward awkwardly and replied calmly, "It's much better now. It doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you for the medicine, brother."

Last night, Jiang Sui took advantage of not being able to sleep and used the ointment that Si Nian bought, and also put on a Band-Aid, and he indeed felt much better.

But Sinian noticed the strangeness in Jiang Sui's words.

Just one night later, the girl started to be appropriately polite to him again.

The two walked along the way in silence.

Only when they were almost at the Third Bridge did Jiang Sui point to the Taiping Bridge and say to Si Nian, "Let's go over this bridge first. The old man said last night that it would be auspicious if we walked in order."

"Um."

Si Nian followed Jiang Sui onto Taiping Bridge.

There were not many tourists here in the morning. I saw the little girl standing on the bridge with her eyes closed and her hands lightly clasped, looking very pious.

Si Nian curled the corners of his lips slightly, and imitated her, walking across the three bridges and praying devoutly.

The three wishes come together as one, wishing for peace every year.

When Jiang Sui opened his eyes for the last time, he saw Si Nian had just put down his hands, so he asked him, "Brother, what did you pray for?"

"you guess?"

Jiang Sui snorted and said, "If you don't want to tell me, I won't tell you either."

In fact, she had just walked across three bridges and made three different wishes, all about Si Nian.

Walking across Taiping Bridge, I wish him good health all year round;

Crossing the Jili Bridge, I wish him a bright future;

Walking across Changqing Bridge, I wish he would remain young forever.

She wanted to pray that everything was fine for her brother, that he would always be safe and happy, and many more things, but she couldn't be too greedy.

Just leave it for next time and take your time.

"You learned so much from the old man yesterday. Don't you remember what the old man said? You can't speak your wishes out loud. If you do, they won't work."

Seeing Jiang Sui looking a little angry, Si Nian couldn't bear it and had to explain.

After hearing this, Jiang Sui thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

"Okay, then don't say anything."

Jiang Sui and Si Nian had a bowl of Suzhou-style noodles for breakfast on the way back, and then returned to the inn together.

Jiang Sui was afraid that Zhou Cheng would have to wait too long, because they had already made an appointment to return to Shenhai together this morning.

But as soon as she entered the inn, the lady at the front desk told Jiang Sui that Mr. Zhou, who came with her, had already checked out and left.

I'm leaving?

Jiang Sui was dumbfounded. How could Zhou Cheng just leave her and go back without saying a word?

Jiang Sui took out his cell phone, ready to ask Zhou Chengye why he didn't wait for her because he had something urgent to do.

Si Nian suddenly took her cell phone and stopped her.

He cleared his throat and said, "Well, when I went to look for you this morning, I ran into your senior brother downstairs, and then..."

"Then what?" Jiang Sui asked Si Nian in confusion.

Si Nian glanced at Jiang Sui, and seeing that she didn't look unhappy, he continued speaking.

"Then I told him that since you are carsick, you can't go back with him. We can take the high-speed train back to Shenhai together."

"So that's why he went back alone?"

Jiang Sui was a little surprised, but even so, according to Zhou Chengye's personality, he should have said hello to her before leaving.

But he just checked out and left without saying a word.

Jiang Sui couldn't figure it out.

But soon she stopped worrying about it.

It would be nice to avoid the possibility of getting carsick again and take the high-speed train back with Si Nian.

It seemed that they had never traveled far together by any means of transportation.

"Hey, Wenjiu, you are becoming more and more unkind. You left me last night and left me again this morning..."

Hearing Wu Chunhao's voice getting closer and closer coming from behind Si Nian, Jiang Sui tilted his head and avoided the tall Si Nian in front of him to look at him.

"Hi, Brother Haozi!" Jiang Sui greeted Wu Chunhao with a smile.

As a result, Wu Chunhao suddenly exclaimed "Oh shit", with a look of confusion on his face.
