"So, I was able to take these photos because I thought each one of them was perfect?"
In response to Jiang Sui's question, Si Nian just smiled and did not answer.
Her age is perfect and impeccable no matter how you look at it.
Perhaps it was past the peak dining time, so the food they ordered was served very quickly.
After a while, the two of them concentrated on eating and didn't talk anymore.
Si Nian would carefully remove the bones from the fish fillet and then pass it to Jiang Sui.
Only when Jiang Sui waved his hand and said he was full did he eat his meal with peace of mind.
Si Nian was eating with one hand and swiping his phone with the other. He suddenly asked Jiang Sui, "Where can I buy the ticket for you? Beijing?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sui looked at Si Nian in shock for a moment, then lowered his eyes.
"I'm going back to Jincheng. My mother's death anniversary is a few days before the Spring Festival, and I have to go to visit her grave."
Having said that, Jiang Sui was actually just looking for an excuse so that Si Nian wouldn't worry about her going back to Northeast China alone to celebrate the Spring Festival.
In fact, she had no intention of going to northern Beijing to celebrate the New Year. She had become an outsider there. It was not her home and she didn't want to go.
Her home now consists only of that simple courtyard in Northeast China, which was left to her by her grandmother and is also the place where all her childhood memories are stored.
Hearing Jiang Sui say this, Si Nian was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, then I'll book a flight back to Jincheng for you."
It is the time when students are on vacation and the Spring Festival travel rush is coming. In fact, Si Nian has just taken a quick look and found that air tickets are in short supply in the next week. It is not bad to go to Beijing North, as there are many flights and more chances to grab tickets.
However, there is only one flight to Jincheng a day, and all flights within a few days are booked out, so it is really difficult to buy a ticket.
But he didn't tell Jiang Sui about all this, he just wanted to think of a solution first.
"Well, Sui Sui, it's Auntie's death anniversary. Do you want me to accompany you?"
He had no choice in the past. Without freedom, he could not do anything and could only let Jiang Sui face everything alone.
It was different now, he wanted to be by her side anytime she needed him.
Jiang Sui didn't expect Si Nian to ask this, nor did she expect Si Nian to take the initiative to ask to go back to Jincheng to accompany her to visit her mother's grave.
"Do you have time? If not, forget it. It's too much trouble to go back. I can do it myself."
She has been living like this for the past few years, and she is no longer as fragile as she was at the beginning.
"There will always be time if you want to go." Si Nian paused, stared at Jiang Sui and asked again, "Do you want me to accompany you back?"
Jiang Sui pursed his lips, looked at Si Nian seriously and nodded, "I want to!"
How could she not want to? She had been thinking about letting Si Nian return to Jincheng and return to her courtyard for many years.
"Okay, I'll make some arrangements and see if I can go with you."
Jiang Sui nodded.
Si Nian rubbed Jiang Sui's head again, his expression as gentle as a bay of spring water.
In the afternoon, the two of them played a few more games in the park and finally left the amusement park near sunset.
After the two got in the car in the parking lot, Si Nian suddenly asked Jiang Sui, "Are you tired, Sui Sui?"
Jiang Sui didn't understand Si Nian's intention of asking this question, so he turned his head to look at him, "Are you okay? What's wrong?"
In fact, she was only responsible for playing, and all the hard work of queuing was done by Si Nian alone. At this time, he should ask himself if he was tired.
Si Nian started the car and gently turned the steering wheel towards the parking lot exit.
While looking at the vehicles coming into the exit from different directions, he said to Jiang Sui, "If you are tired, I will take you back to rest. If you are not tired, I will take you to the food street. Didn't you love street food the most when you were a child?"
When Jiang Sui heard about the food street and snacks, he immediately became interested.
"Okay, take me there, I'm not tired!" But Jiang Sui paused for a moment, thinking of something, and turned his head to ask Si Nian, "But aren't you tired? If you feel tired, let's go back first. We can go to the back of the food court anytime."
At this time, the Ford car had already driven out of the parking lot via the ETC exit and gradually got onto the main road.
Si Nian suddenly laughed, glanced at Jiang Sui, and quickly looked straight ahead.
There are quite a lot of cars returning to the city center today.
While paying close attention to the road ahead, he casually said to Jiang Sui, "Sui Sui, I'm a man. I'm not as fragile as you think, okay?"
After saying this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he took the opportunity to glance at Jiang Sui's expression.
Si Nian's words made Jiang Sui feel a little embarrassed. How could she think that he was weak? She didn't have any at all, okay?
But when she thought of the word "man" from his mouth, Jiang Sui's heart moved inexplicably again, and a blush immediately appeared on her fair face.
She shut up and said nothing more.
Si Nian drove towards the food street.
Under the dark blue night, the food street is crowded with people.
The streets nearby were crowded and congested, so Si Nian had to park his car in a public parking lot two intersections away.
Then the two of them walked side by side to the food court.
Jiang Sui saw from afar that there were long queues in front of the small stalls. It turned out that one had to queue up even to eat a snack. She frowned and couldn't help but sigh at the large population of China.
Si Nian suddenly grabbed her wrist and asked her, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you. Find a place where no one is and wait for me."
Jiang Sui smiled, told Si Nian the names of a lot of snacks, and at the end told him that he wanted to drink milk tea.
Si Nian wrote down everything on his phone's memo. Finally, he rubbed Jiang Sui's head and said, "Sit here for a while. I'll go buy it."
After Si Nian left, Jiang Sui observed the surrounding environment.
Each stall in the food court operates independently, but the tables and chairs used for eating are shared.
All the seats near the main street were occupied. Jiang Sui walked a little inside, chose a corner seat sheltered from the wind, sat down, checked his phone and waited for Si Nian.
"Hello, can we share a table?"
Suddenly, a gentle and quiet girl's voice came from the opposite side of Jiang Sui.
She raised her eyes from her phone, and their eyes met, and they were both stunned.
Jiang Sui felt that the girl standing opposite her, who looked particularly elegant and graceful, seemed to have been seen somewhere before.
She couldn't remember it for a moment and forgot to answer the girl's question. She just kept staring at the girl.
The girl also looked at Jiang Sui for a while, then she suddenly pointed at him and said, "Oh, you are the girl who stood with Big Brother that day?"
Big brother?
Jiang Sui's brows suddenly frowned, and after the girl's reminder, she also remembered.
The gentle and harmless girl opposite is Si Nian’s cousin, Si Mu.
The last time they met was in the supermarket. She stopped the conflict between Si Nian and Si Yue, and then Jiang Sui was taken away by Si Nian soon after. The two did not have any communication.
Although Si Nian said that Si Mu was the only person in the Si family who had good intentions towards him.
But she also didn't want Si Nian to see Si Mu and think of those people in the Si family again.
It would be good if Si Nian could forget those bad things for a moment.
So Jiang Sui started to chase them away.
"I'm sorry, Si Nian will be here soon. I don't think he would like to see anyone from your Si family."
Si Mu probably didn't expect that Jiang Sui would become so hostile towards her as soon as he recognized her.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what your relationship with Big Brother is, and I don't know how to address you, but I have no ill will towards Big Brother."
Si Mu paused, then continued, "I also know that Big Brother has had a hard time these past few years. I always wanted to help him, and I went to find him, but he refused to accept my request and even drove me out."
Jiang Sui stared at Si Mu for a while, and said calmly, "As a sister, if you know him well enough, you should know how arrogant he was in the past. How could he accept your help so easily?"
Jiang Sui sighed and said, "What's more, what he needs is not the material help you imagine. What he needs is someone who can clear his name and clear his name."
After hearing Jiang Sui's words, Si Mu was a little surprised.
"Unjust? Are you saying that my brother was wronged during those two years..."
"What else?" Jiang Sui interrupted Si Mu before she finished her question. She asked, "Do you think he is that kind of person?"
Si Mu suddenly lowered his eyelashes and remained silent.
Jiang Sui glanced at her and continued, "Someone in your Si family set up a trap to frame him, and someone ignored the facts and forced him to admit something he didn't do. No one treated him sincerely, and you are no exception."
Not believing is hurting.
"If you were asked to choose between Si Nian and Si Yue and endure those two years of suffering, I'm afraid you would choose Si Nian without hesitation. Because you, like Si Yue, would regard him as an invader in your heart and would want to get rid of him as soon as possible. You don't have to pretend anymore!"
Jiang Sui didn't think she was innocent for treating Si Mu like this. They were just birds of a feather.
Could she really harm her own brother's interests for Si Nian?
For either brother or cousin, the balance in one's heart will tilt after silently weighing the two.
But after hearing Jiang Sui's words, Simu was shocked, but he also had to look at Jiang Sui again.
This little girl obviously has a better understanding of her older brother's character, and it seems that because of her older brother, her hostility towards her is particularly obvious.
Si Mu was silent for a while, then suddenly looked directly at Jiang Sui and said, "No, my elder brother treated me very well in the past. He treated me with sincerity, so I would naturally treat him with sincerity in return. But I don't know whether what you said is true or not, and I need some time to investigate it clearly. If my elder brother is really wronged, then I will make a choice."
Jiang Sui chuckled and said, "Okay, go check and see how dirty the Si family is behind the scenes."
However, she didn't believe that after knowing the truth, Si Mu would really choose to help Si Nian.
Because if it were her, she might not be able to do it.
"Okay, you go first. My brother will be back soon, and I don't want him to be unhappy because of seeing you."
After looking at the time when Si Nian left, Jiang Sui spoke again to drive Si Mu away.
"You call him brother too?"
Si Mu didn't plan to leave immediately, and was also puzzled by Jiang Sui's address to Si Nian.
There was nothing for Jiang Sui to hide from Si Mu. After all, if she wanted to know, she could just check.
Jiang Sui nodded and responded, "Yes, we lived together for eight years before he returned to the Si family."
Si Mu understood, and also remembered that Si Nian would frequently talk on the phone with a little girl at home during those years.
Later, he and his grandfather had an argument for some unknown reason, and his grandfather forbade him to answer any phone calls and sent someone to watch over him until college started.
