Chapter 55 Look at Us

"I'll get it for you."

Xu Zhe'an didn't think much about it, just thinking that she was trying to save face for her previous behavior.

I went to get all the little dolls to her bedside and arranged them one by one.

"Is this all right now? My dear sister."

Jiang Yun nodded listlessly.

Seeing her like this, Xu Zhe'an sighed helplessly in his heart.

Who made you a patient today? I’ll take care of you first.

"You should take a rest. I'll leave first."

As he spoke, he made a walking motion with his fingers.

Jiang Yun was afraid that Xu Zhe'an would misunderstand, so she tried to explain herself even though she was stuttering:
"Well, I'm just not ready right now. Don't think too much about it."

Xu Zhe'an pulled at the corner of the quilt that was not unfolded and answered confidently:
"Of course I understand. How could I possibly think too much about it?"

"You go to bed too. If I don't get up later, remember to call me to cook."

This time, he didn't look back when he reached the door. He waved back and closed the door.

I'm not unhappy at all, but I just don't understand a little bit.

Why is it that every time when things seem to be going smoothly, something always goes wrong?

I don’t know if it’s because my mentality has been smoothed out in my previous life, but at this moment I can’t even tell whether I’m happy or sad.

I just felt sleepy and went back to my room and fell asleep.

……

The most frightening thing about taking a nap in the afternoon is that when I open my eyes it is already dark, and four hours have passed in a daze.

Xu Zhe'an didn't sleep very peacefully either, mainly because he had a very strange dream:
It was a vast expanse of white, with the entrance to the residential complex behind him. Jiang Yun had disappeared, and there was an echo in his mind. He could only choose one side, or he would never be able to return to the starting point. He stood there looking left and right, unable to make up his mind.

Once, twice... No matter how much he shouted, there was no response. Until he was exhausted, holding his knees and gasping for breath, there was still no trace.

Can’t find it, can’t find it again, just like seven years ago.

He was frightened and woke up suddenly, dizzy and with a pounding heart.

The sky gradually darkened. Although it was not pitch black, the light was very poor and a feeling of suffocation arose.

However, in his blurry vision, he could see a person sitting beside the bed, and because of his actions, he had to put down his arms that were supporting the bed.

At this moment, a gentle question broke the silence in the room.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Hearing the sound, he rubbed his temples first, then tried to open his eyes. He was puzzled as to why Jiang Yun was in his room. He had the impression that the door was closed and locked.

Before I could ask, she had already put her hand on her back to help her breathe, and explained:
"I saw the door was not closed. I wanted to wake you up, but you looked very tired and kept talking in your sleep, so I stayed nearby. I didn't mean to barge in."

"That's it..."

After Xu Zhe'an calmed down a bit, he asked a series of questions:
"Have you rested well? Does your stomach hurt? Did I behave myself?"

"Uh-huh, no, no."

Jiang Yun didn't care how many questions there were, but answered them one by one and continued to add:

"I got up at around 3 o'clock. I thought you wouldn't be able to sleep for too long, so I wanted to have a good talk with you. I was too emotional at the time, especially since you didn't even look back when I left the room to talk to you... I was afraid I'd hurt your feelings."

"No, no, I simply didn't get enough rest last night. I was so sleepy that I couldn't even remember whether I closed the door or not."

Xu Zhe'an felt that the dream was reminding him of the purpose of this trip. It sounded a bit mysterious, but there was some truth in it.

"Do you want to lie down and wait for me to finish cooking and call you, or stay with me like before? I suggest you choose the first one, so that I can provide you with a five-star service as well."

Jiang Yun smiled brightly and suggested.

"Get up, I'll accompany you."

Xu Zhe'an stretched out his hand, wanting Jiang Yun to help him.

"Okay~ After dinner, can you invite me out for a walk?"

Jiang Yun used both hands to pull Xu Zhe'an off the bed, asking at the same time. The moment she touched her hand, her little hand was no longer as cold as it was this morning, so it must have gotten better.

Xu Zhe'an knew that she wanted to make him happy, so he was naturally a little happy.

"where to?"

"Feeling the evening breeze, strolling along the river bank."

Jiang Yun deliberately kept the sentence half-finished, and stood on tiptoe to tickle Xu Zhe'an's ear and said:

"With my brother~"

"Since you have the leisure and elegance, I can't refuse. Go ahead."

Xu Zhe'an readily agreed.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and the happiest person was definitely Jiang Yun. She was in high spirits while cooking and even made jokes.

Love is the moment when one abandons the darkness of inferiority and turns to the light. Inferiority can lead one to sink deeper and deeper into the cave of inferiority, or it can lead one to embrace liberation on the road of love.

She was afraid that her shortcomings would be seen, and wanted to be more perfect, to be on the same level as Xu Zhe'an, and to be able to give the same in return for everything he gave. This was what she wanted.

But she won't tell it, she will keep it in her heart and wait for the right time.

It was already past 7 o'clock when they finished their meal. After cleaning up, Xu Zhe'an happened to hear Jiang Yun's call. He picked up the garbage and walked out, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.

It was not surprising to see Jiang Yun wearing a light red loose short-sleeved shirt. What surprised Xu Zhe'an was that she was wearing shorts that were slightly above the knees, which were similar to the limited edition ones and could only be seen a few times.

"Wait a minute, help me put on a headband."

Jiang Yun handed the big pink bow in her hand to Xu Zhe'an, then bent down slightly.

"You won't tie it up?"

"It should look better if it's loose."

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Xu Zhe'an thought everything looked good, but he still did as she asked. After he finished, he asked:

"Want to look in the mirror?"

"No need, I can see myself in your eyes, hehe~"

Jiang Yun smiled mischievously, picked up a bag of garbage and walked out the door.

Xu Zhe'an followed her downstairs. The moon was full tonight, which was a good time to sit leisurely in the pavilion by the river.

After throwing away the garbage, Jiang Yun naturally took Xu Zhe'an's arm, using the excuse of being her sister more and more unscrupulous.

For example: "Being a brother has rules. You must take good care of your sister when you are outside. At least don't let go of her hand. If she makes a mistake, you can be harsh, but not too harsh."

Of course, younger sisters also have rules. On the way to the riverbank, she kept talking to Xu Zhe'an about her own wonderful ideas.

It’s actually very simple to transform from a quiet and introverted little girl into a talkative one. All you need is a passionate deskmate.

Only then did Xu Zhe'an understand what it felt like when he first met her in the first year of high school and had to talk to her every day.

Although it was a bit annoying to listen to, I was very happy to see her cute side.

"This is much bigger than the moon you see from the rooftop."

Walking up to the steps of the riverbank, Jiang Yun exclaimed.

Xu Zhe'an raised the hand he was holding and gave a thumbs up through the gap.

"Near is big, far is small. Are you happy and stupid on the road?"

"I know. What I appreciate is that I can walk here with you and see this."

Jiang Yun loosened his hand and half-clenched his fist, turned around and looked up at the rooftop, placing his fist in front of his eyes.

It seemed as if I could see a girl lying on the edge of the rooftop, and the boy next to her was supporting his head with one hand, looking at the girl sideways, and saying to her:

'You have stars in your eyes.'

Same moonlit night, different mood, she was immersed in it.

Xu Zhe'an was afraid that she would go too crazy and cause bad consequences, so he nodded her head and asked:
"What are you looking at again?"

Jiang Yun smiled and showed no intention of retracting her gesture. Instead, she waved upwards while responding to Xu Zhe'an:
"Look at us."
