When Jiang Sui returned to the bedroom on the second floor, Si Nian was leaning on the bed looking at his cell phone.

"elder brother..."

Jiang Sui pushed the door open and went in.

When Si Nian looked up and saw Jiang Sui, he began to frown.

"Why haven't you gone back yet?"

"Brother, can I not leave?"

Si Nian's brows furrowed even deeper, and he stared at Jiang Sui fiercely.

After a long while, he turned his eyes back to his phone and said coldly, "No."

Jiang Sui sat down on the other side of the bed in anger.

"Whether you agree or not, I won't leave."

Seeing that she was starting to be stubborn again, Si Nian frowned and his voice became softer when he spoke again.

"Go back and be obedient! Where are you going to stay? You can't let me sleep on the sofa like this, right?"

Jiang Sui felt relieved when he heard some seduction in his tone.

"Then can I sleep on the sofa?"

Jiang Sui made this suggestion and carefully observed Si Nian's reaction.

Seeing Si Nian frowning, she suddenly lay down beside Si Nian with her head towards the end of the bed at an extremely fast speed.

"Then sleep like this, no one has to sleep on the sofa!"

Jiang Sui's words didn't sound like he was discussing something with Si Nian, but like he had already made the decision and was informing him.

Si Nian sighed and said slowly, "Sui Sui..."

Jiang Sui quickly jumped off the bed, rushed to the door, turned around and said to Si Nian, "Don't try to convince me anymore! Just like that, I'll go talk to Brother Haozi and ask him to go back."

Si Nian was helpless. Sometimes he had no idea what to do with this girl.

After Jiang Sui and Wu Chunhao finished talking, he didn't say anything, but just smiled strangely.

When he left, he even helped Jiang Sui pull down the rolling door. Jiang Sui locked the door from the inside and went upstairs.

Less than a minute after Si Nian heard the sound of the rolling door upstairs, he received a WeChat message from Wu Chunhao.

[Haozi: Did you just agree to let her stay overnight? ]

【Year: I didn’t agree...】

[Mouse: Don’t talk nonsense! You must be looking forward to it!]

【Year:...】

[Mouse: Lao Si, you are in such poor health now, please take it easy! ]

[Mouse: Have a wonderful night! /smirk]

【Nian: Get lost! 】

"Brother, it's so late, what do you want to eat? I'll make it!"

Jiang Sui suddenly poked his head in.

Si Nian hurriedly exited the chat box with Wu Chunhao and even locked his phone and hid it under the quilt.

"Oh, it's all right!"

When Jiang Sui realized that he was going to get food, Si Nian asked, "Can you do it? Or should I go..."

"No, but it can be cooked and should be edible. Just make do with it!"

Jiang Sui is telling the truth.

When her mother and grandmother were still alive, she had always lived a life of having everything provided for her.

Later, she was the only one left at home.

At first she tried to prepare her own food, but the food she cooked was either mushy or raw, too salty or too bland, and she could never eat it smoothly.

Whenever her stomach was empty and she threw the inedible food into the trash can, she would squat aside and cry loudly.

Living alone is really hard.

Days like this repeated for a long time, and finally the food she cooked was edible.

But it’s edible, not mushy or undercooked.

Maybe Jiang Sui really has no talent in this area.

Later on, she seldom cooked for herself. She ate in the school cafeteria most of the time. When she stayed at home on holidays, she would order takeout.

Knowing that his cooking skills were not very good, Jiang Sui did not choose any ingredients that were too difficult.

Tomato and eggs, and a handful of noodles.

After cooking, she brought a bowl into the room for Si Nian, and then returned to the small living room.

She took a mouthful of noodles and frowned.

Sure enough, this noodle is just edible, but tasteless.

She could only eat a few bites casually to soothe her stomach and stop it from protesting.

Jiang Sui washed and put away the noodle bowl he had used, then went back to his room to see Si Nian.

Si Nian had just put the dishes and chopsticks on the bedside table.

Jiang Sui walked closer and took a closer look at the bowl. It was empty, without even a trace of soup left.

She was a little surprised, "You ate it all?"

Si Nian nodded.

"Do you think it tastes good?" Jiang Sui asked unconfidently.

Si Nian suddenly laughed.

After a while, he said, "It's just like you said, it's edible!"

Jiang Sui knew that he was mocking her, but she didn't get angry.

"Well, I know myself well. Please just make do with it for now, my dear brother."

Jiang Sui picked up the empty bowl and went out.

Si Nian leaned against the head of the bed, looking at Jiang Sui's back with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

The tone in which she spoke to him just now made him want to laugh for some reason.

Before going to bed at night.

Jiang Sui brought up a basin of warm water from downstairs.

She washed the towel and said to Si Nian slowly, "Brother, your legs are not very convenient. I'll get some water and wipe it for you before going to bed!"

Si Nian remained silent for a long time, thinking about how to refuse Jiang Sui's thoughtful care.

Jiang Sui didn't care whether he responded or not. He took a wet towel and sat down beside Si Nian's bed.

She leaned sideways, took the towel in her hand and gently wiped Si Nian's face, carefully looking as if she was wiping a piece of art.

The two people's faces were very close, so close that Si Nian could feel Jiang Sui's light breath spraying on his face.

She has a faint scent of gardenia on her body, which can make people intoxicated by it unconsciously.

Si Nian couldn't think of any words to say no.

He stared at Jiang Sui in a daze.

Jiang Sui looked focused at this moment, and he had taken off the windbreaker he wore during the day without knowing when.

She was left with only a black deep V-neck top on her body, revealing her graceful collarbone.

Somehow Si Nian's gaze slowly moved from her fair and smooth face to her delicate and graceful collarbone.

As he stared, he suddenly felt his mouth dry, and he unconsciously rolled his throat down to swallow his saliva.

Thinking about the content of Wu Chunhao's WeChat message in the evening, Si Nian suddenly felt that even his body began to get hot.

Jiang Sui had already wiped his face clean, washed the towel, and was about to lift the quilt off him.

Si Nian pressed down her hand on his chest to stop her from taking any further action.

Jiang Sui was puzzled and looked up at Si Nian.

There was a flash of something in his eyes that Jiang Sui couldn't understand.

Jiang Sui was surprised, "Brother, how can I help you wipe it if you hold my hand like this?"

Hearing Jiang Sui's words, Si Nian let go of Jiang Sui as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes evasive.

"Give me the towel, I'll wipe it myself!"

But Jiang Sui refused to give it to him. She said, "Your arm is injured, it's not convenient for you."

Si Nian refused again, "It's even more inconvenient for you! I can do it myself."

"What's the big deal? You're my brother!"

Jiang Sui said this and tried to reach out again.

Si Nian turned his face away and closed his eyes, no longer looking at her. He sighed softly and said helplessly:

"Sui Sui, I may be your brother, but I am also a man!"

Si Nian's words successfully made Jiang Sui's hand stop in mid-air.

Then her eyes moved from his face to his chest, and then down...

She suddenly realized something and immediately turned her back to Si Nian.

My heart is beating fast at this moment.

Nervous, flustered, not knowing what to do.

Jiang Sui heard Si Nian sigh again.

Then he said, "Give me the towel!"

"Ah?" Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment, "Oh!"

She stretched her arm behind her, trying to pass the towel to Si Nian.

Maybe it was because she just turned around and was standing a little far away from the bed.

Si Nian could only lean forward to reach the towel in her hand, accidentally touching the wound on his body, and he inadvertently let out a muffled groan.

Jiang Sui immediately turned around and walked forward nervously.

"elder brother!"

Si Nian waved at her and said, "It's okay!"

Jiang Sui froze in place, towel in hand, not knowing what to do next.

After being stunned for a while, she put the towel in Si Nian's hand in a panic, and even began to stutter when she spoke.

"Well, then, you, wipe it yourself, I, I'll go take a shower."

After Jiang Sui finished speaking, he ran out.

Awkward!

It's all Wu Chunhao's fault!

What to do send those messages to him.

It almost made him lose his concentration.

Si Nian attributed his physical reaction just now to being misled by Wu Chunhao.

Jiang Sui was in a trance while taking a bath.

As a result, she took a bath for more than an hour, and even her fingers were wrinkled.

She blow-dried her hair downstairs and turned off all the lights before going upstairs.

In the room on the second floor, the light was dim, with only a small night light by the bed still on.

Jiang Sui found that Si Nian was already lying down with his back facing the door.

She guessed he might have fallen asleep.

She quietly took the basin of water from the ground and placed it outside the door.

Then, still very gently, she lay down on the other side of the bed with her clothes on.

Yes, she put on the dirty clothes she wore during the day again.

She didn't plan to stay overnight when she came, and she didn't bring any change of clothes.

But Sinian was injured so badly because of her, she couldn't feel at ease no matter who took care of him.

That's why she insisted on staying.

At worst, I can go back to school tomorrow and get some clothes before coming back.

Jiang Sui was lying at Si Nian's feet, with his back to him, not daring to move for fear of waking Si Nian up.

She thought he would probably feel pain again when he woke up.

In fact, she could also sleep on the double sofa in the living room.

Si Nian is tall and has long legs, so it is not suitable for him to sleep there, but with Jiang Sui's height, it should be just right.

But she was also worried that if Stan needed anything, she wouldn't be able to hear it in time.

So just sleep like this. Anyway, you have slept in a bed when you were a child, so what’s the big deal?

Jiang Sui just half-closed her eyes and thought about things for a long time, so long that Si Nian thought she was asleep too.

In fact, Si Nian had not slept at all. He knew when Jiang Sui went upstairs, and he also knew when Jiang Sui lay down on the bed.

He just let her think that he was asleep to avoid further embarrassment for both of them.

At this moment, Si Nian sat up with great effort. With the help of the dim light, he saw Jiang Sui lying on the side of the bed, with his body slightly hunched and his hands on his chest.

This girl!

Where is the courage that made her refuse to go back at night and even said she wanted to sleep in the same bed with him?

It was cold now, and she didn't dare to pull back his blanket.

She was curled up by the bed, and he was really afraid that she would fall to the ground if she was not careful.

Si Nian pulled the other end of his quilt and slowly covered Jiang Sui with it.

He was stunned for a moment, turned off the night light and lay down again.

A silent night, a quiet room, and two people pretending to be asleep, each with their own thoughts.

After a long time, Jiang Sui called out in a low voice in the darkness.

"elder brother?"

Si Nian paused for a moment and responded softly, "Hmm..."

"Call me if you need anything during the night."

"Um."

"Good night, bro."

"Good night."

This was the first time in more than ten years that they were so close and said goodnight to each other in the same space.

Jiang Sui fell asleep slowly with a smile on his face.

Everything will be fine, and a new day will always come.

In the next few days, Jiang Sui basically stayed overnight at Si Nian's place except for rushing back to school for classes on weekdays.

The two of them gradually got used to this way of getting along, and it was no longer as awkward as it was on the first day.

Although she had never taken care of anyone before, she slowly learned to take good care of Si Nian.

He has a good physical condition and recovers quickly.

In just a few days, his face regained its handsome look.

Si Nian hasn't worked for several days, and Xiao Hai has been busy in the store alone recently.

On Wednesday afternoon, Jiang Sui had no classes so he helped Xiao Hai clean up on the first floor.

Si Nian also went downstairs and wanted to help Xiao Hai with some work.

But he suddenly received a call from someone unknown and left in a hurry.

Si Nian hasn't gone out for several days. I wonder who could have made him run out so anxiously.

After what happened last week, Jiang Sui couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If it was something dangerous, she would directly ask to go with him, but Jiang Sui knew he would not agree.

So after Si Nian went out, she followed him secretly.
