Zhuli leaned against the bed with a cold towel on her forehead.
She looked at the person beside the bed with a haggard face: "How long has this happened?"
Zhu Suisui raised his eyelids and glanced at Jing Huaizhi, who was twisting the towel, and said with difficulty, "It's been several months."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Zhuli's face was pale, and he wanted to get up but he didn't have any strength.
He opened the quilt and planned to get out of bed: "I'm going to school to find your teacher."
Maybe he talked too much, and his throat felt uncomfortable and he couldn't help but want to cough.
She put her palms on the edge of the bed and kept coughing, until her internal organs were coughed out.
There were hands patting her bent back all the time, with varying degrees of force.
"Are you going to give them the cold?"
Jing Huaizhi bent down and smiled with some interest.
Zhuli couldn't help but give him a blank look and put on her shoes.
Pulling Zhu Suisui, "You come with me to school."
Zhu Suisui looked at his brother-in-law with pleading eyes, hoping to get help.
Jing Huaizhi naturally understood. Although he was not given any money to correct his statement, the words 'brother-in-law' made him feel inexplicably comfortable.
He raised his feet to block the door and put his hands in his pockets.
Zhuli's eyes moved from bottom to top, and she couldn't help but frown when she saw him blocking her way at the door.
“A good dog stays out of the way.”
"So I'm not a dog but a hunter."
He had a careless, lazy smile on his face.
"You have..." Jing Youyou's voice was heard before the word "sickness" was spoken.
"Dad, when will you come back?"
"Mom is not at home either. Don't you want Youyou anymore?"
Jing Youyou on the other side of the screen was extremely lost, her little head curled up in Butler Li's arms.
That look is so endearing.
Jing Huaizhi didn't answer but turned the phone screen to face Zhuli.
"Mother!"
The cheerful voice washed away all the unhappiness.
Only then did Zhuli realize that he was on a video call, so he said hello bravely.
"Youyou."
Zhu Suisui's eyebrows flashed, and his thoughts fell into chaos.
Just now she was happy that her sister had found happiness, but all that joy disappeared now.
It seems that her sister has to pay more for her than she imagined.
It was an hour after she hung up the phone, and Zhuli's mood that had been feigning anger just now gradually returned to calm.
She held up Zhu Suisui's sign language and said sincerely: "Don't be so weak in the future. No matter who bullies you, you have to make them pay the price."
"What's more, this is no longer a question of bullying or not."
Zhu Suisui rejected the confession of a male monitor in the class, and the boy became angry and spread rumors everywhere that Zhu Suisui was pretending to be aloof.
She also said that she was chasing him, and not only that, she told everyone she met that Zhu Suisui was a broken shoe, sick, and so on.
Zhu Suisui himself has a slow-tempered personality and doesn't talk much in the class, so everyone believes what the male class monitor says.
Even the head teacher was like this. She was so buried in dirty words that Xia Yuzhen didn't believe her.
Zhu Suisui's eyes were full of water and she tried her best not to cry.
"Sister, I have something to say to him."
She doesn't call her brother-in-law anymore. To be precise, she is not sure whether he is really good to her sister.
Jing Huaizhi was silent for a moment, and nodded calmly.
Open the door and go to the corridor to wait.
Zhuli looked at her with confusion. What did Suisui want to say to him?
Do you still have to avoid her?
Corridor outside the door
"Do you really like my sister?"
Teenagers just don't mince words and say whatever comes to mind.
The man standing in front of her felt quite oppressive, especially his noble temperament.
After Zhu Suisui finished speaking, he buried his head.
"certainly."
He didn't think twice and didn't try to hide it.
Zhu Suisui was not surprised to get this answer. She guessed that his status was unusual.
"I hope you will always be kind to my sister. She has suffered too many injustices in the past."
"My wish is that my sister can leave here, as far away as possible."
But she didn't want to become her concern, her fetters, and her constraints.
Realizing she had said something she shouldn't have said, she quietly shut her mouth.
The weak-tempered Zhu Suisui said a lot of things to the unfamiliar man in front of him under pressure.
"I'm sorry, if you think my request is rude, just ignore it."
He bowed slightly and planned to return to the room.
In the room, Zhuli heard that the problem in the corner had not changed.
However, the soundproofing here was so good that she didn't hear anything.
While he was still wondering what the two people outside the door said, the door was opened from the outside.
Fortunately, she took the lead to hold the door frame with her hand, so she didn't run into the man's arms again.
He raised his face and asked doubtfully: "Where is Suisui?"
Jing Huaizhi said nothing, but Zhu Suisui responded in a low voice behind him.
"Sister, I'm going to help grandma make dinner."
"Let's go see the teacher tomorrow."
Her voice is as refreshing as spring water.
Zhuli wanted to ask her what she had said to Jing Huaizhi, but she had already disappeared.
After closing the door, she raised her eyelids and silently looked at the man who was making the bed.
"What did she tell you?"
Between asking Zhu Suisui and Jing Huaizhi, she chose the latter because he was the only one there at the moment.
Jing Huaizhi turned his back to her and answered absently: "She said that her brother-in-law should take good care of her sister."
With a swish, Zhuli's face turned red and goosebumps suddenly appeared on the surface of her skin.
What a strange title, she didn't believe Suisui would say that.
But just now in front of her, she seemed to have called him brother-in-law.
Clearing her throat, she said: "Don't talk nonsense, she won't..."
Zhuli wanted to confront him, so she moved behind him as she spoke.
The man turned around suddenly, and the look he gave him was intriguing.
"Can't do anything?"
"I've already received my marriage certificate, why can't I call me brother-in-law?"
"Oh, there's still a wedding to go."
As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and looked like he was going to make a call.
Seeing that he was getting further and further away, Zhuli hurriedly stood up on tiptoes to grab his mobile phone.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm wondering how many tables should be arranged if everyone in the company is invited to go."
Jing Huaizhi looked at the screen with a calm expression.
She really wanted to cry, but things were getting more and more outrageous and getting out of hand.
He simply sat on the sofa and crossed his legs: "I am only qualified to be a mistress, not a principal palace."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
With his slender waist being wrapped up, the man turned his head and felt even more ridiculous.
"Is this ghost next to me?"
The small red notebook was handed to her, and Zhuli's eyes widened.
Who is a good person who carries his marriage certificate with him all day long?
He reached out to grab it, but the man nimbly dodged it.
Tucked away like a treasure in the inner pocket.
"It's not me who said it, it was your old friend who said it."
you?
Good old friend?
Jing Huaizhi slowly rolled up the cuffs of his shirt and pushed down the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Are you itchy again?"
