Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 416 Joy and sorrow are not the same

The house that Yu Guodong rented was simply furnished.

Apart from a bed, there are two simple tables, one for cooking and the other for eating. There is not even a decent stool.

There is only a small stool, but this is not a problem for Yu Guodong.

He moved the table to the bedside and asked Yu Sumei to sit on the bed.

"Sister, please sit down and eat first. I'll cook some rice."

Yu Guodong put the cooked food on the table and opened all the bags.

He turned around to get a pair of chopsticks for his sister, but found that there was only one pair. But it didn't matter. He rummaged through the takeaway bag in the corner and finally found a lot of disposable chopsticks.

"Just take care of your own business and don't worry about me," said Yu Sumei.

"Nothing to do."

Yu Guodong washed some rice and put it in the rice cooker, and that was it.

"It's too late. I won't be busy anymore. Tomorrow, I'll make you two delicious dishes. I'm telling you, my cooking skills are pretty good. I learned from a professional chef..."

"I know, I learned it from Master Wu..." Yu Sumei asked subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Yu Guodong turned around suddenly and looked at Yu Sumei in surprise.

Yu Sumei also realized that she had said the wrong thing. This was not something she, a "time traveler", could know.

Yu Sumei lowered her head somewhat at a loss, wondering how to explain it.

At this time, Yu Guodong said, "That was my first job. Master Wu was very good to me. Unfortunately, his small restaurant was not doing well and he had to close it down in the end."

Upon hearing this, Yu Sumei raised her head and looked at Yu Guodong in surprise.

But Yu Guodong was busy with his own things and didn't seem to notice the problem in Yu Sumei's words.

Yu Guodong brought two bowls of dipping sauce and placed them on the table.

"I just made this myself. If you think these cooked foods are tasteless, you can dip them in it."

Yu Sumei stared at the dipping sauce in front of her, and suddenly said with some emotion: "Dongdong already knows how to take care of people."

Yu Guodong laughed when he heard this.

"Sister, how old am I? If I had gotten married earlier, my children would probably be your age. It feels awkward to call you like this now..."

Yu Guodong took out a pair of disposable chopsticks, first picked up some dishes and put them in Yu Sumei's bowl, then handed the chopsticks to her, and then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

He didn't have time to eat the instant noodles and only drank some water. At this time, he was so hungry that he ate voraciously.

So Yu Sumei gave all the cooked food in her bowl to Yu Guodong.

"You don't want to eat it? Is it not to your taste?"

"I'm not hungry."

"Oh~"

Yu Guodong didn't ask any more questions.

Yu Sumei was actually a little confused by his reaction.

I couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Yu Guodong looked up at her and said, "Are you really my sister?"

"Of course."

Yu Sumei rolled her eyes at her: "You are so suspicious. You are still suspicious now. Do you want me to tell you some embarrassing stories about your childhood?"

"Okay." Yu Guodong said with a smile.

"When you were in the first grade, your classmates bullied you and took off your pants. You came back naked, and I helped you beat them up and got your pants back. Later, your classmates' parents came to our house..."

"My dad bought me some cow dung candy, but after he ate it himself, he tried to get mine. I refused to give it to him, and it fell to the ground during the argument. It was dim at night, and you picked it up and stuffed it into your mouth without even looking at it. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a pile of chicken shit..."

"And that summer, you were swimming in grandma's pond and got bit by a water snake on your butt. You said you were going to die and wanted me to suck out the poison for you, saying that's what they do on TV. Grandpa found out and said he'd take you to the village clinic for an injection, but you ran away..."

"And...and..."

……

Yu Sumei was recounting Yu Guodong's embarrassing moments with great interest while observing his expression.

Then I noticed that Yu Guodong was eating with a smile on his face, and he didn't look angry at all.

As if she was talking about someone else.

Yu Sumei finally couldn't help but asked, "Aren't you angry?" "What's there to be angry about? I have forgotten a lot of things, but I still remember some, such as the one about being bitten by a snake..." Yu Guodong said with a smile.

"It's boring." Yu Sumei said uninterested.

In fact, if you really think about it, Yu Guodong's mind is actually much more mature than Yu Sumei's, because Yu Sumei's mind was frozen at the moment of her death.

So even though Yu Guodong called him sister, in his eyes, Yu Sumei was just a slightly childish girl.

"But now I am sure that you are my sister."

Yu Sumei was happy again after hearing this, and then continued to ask: "Then do you have anything else you want to ask me?"

"No."

"So you really traveled back in time?"

"No."

Yu Guodong looked at her curiously, wondering what was going on.

"I'm dead, so I'm a ghost now. Are you afraid..." Yu Sumei gave a sinister smile.

Yu Guodong burst into laughter.

"I remember this. When we were little, you always liked to dress up as a ghost to scare me."

Yu Sumei also laughed, and then started crying while laughing.

"I'm fine, why are you crying?"

Yu Guodong hurriedly tried to wipe her tears, but found that the tears fell on his palms and disappeared in an instant.

Seeing Yu Guodong looking at his hands in a daze.

Yu Sumei cried and laughed at the same time: "Are you scared now? I really am a ghost. I just want to meet you because I have unfulfilled wishes."

Having said that, he disappeared right in front of Yu Guodong.

But soon, he appeared again in front of Yu Guodong with a surprised look on his face.

But Yu Guodong still didn't look afraid at all. Instead, he felt relieved and liberated.

"Aren't you afraid?" Yu Sumei asked curiously again.

"You're my sister, why should I be afraid?"

Yu Sumei remained silent upon hearing this, but an indescribable joy rose in her heart.

At this moment, Yu Guodong continued: "Are you going to take me away?"

Yu Sumei was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

Yu Guodong was a little disappointed when he heard this: "I thought you were going to take me with you. Life is really boring. If I die, it's actually not bad to be with you."

"Don't think like that..." Yu Sumei became anxious when she heard that.

"I...I..." But for a moment, she didn't know how to start.

"Okay, don't worry. It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. I understand this truth. If I wanted to die, I would have died a long time ago and would not have waited until now." Yu Guodong comforted her in return.

"That's good, that's good. I'm such a useless sister. It's all my fault. If there is an afterlife, I will never be your sister again..." Yu Sumei said with a sob.

"It's all in the past, don't talk about it anymore."

Yu Guodong reached out to wipe away her tears, but he saw his rough palms in stark contrast to Yu Sumei's fair and delicate skin.

He sighed deeply and said, "I have saved some money and plan to go back to my hometown to renovate my grandparents' house. I will definitely live a quiet life by myself..."

"sorry Sorry……"

Yu Sumei grabbed Yu Guodong's rough big hand, buried her face in it, and burst into tears.

But Yu Guodong just sighed deeply and was completely unable to empathize with her.
-
Yu Guodong woke up from his sleep and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He turned his head to look at the messy and empty table next to him that had not been cleaned up yet, and then turned to look at the sunlight coming in through the window.

Then he turned over and sat up, rubbing his messy hair.

She felt like she had a dream, dreaming that her sister came back to see her.

Yu Guodong looked down at his palms, then at the two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"I wish my parents could come back to see me someday..."

He murmured softly...
