It took Liu Zhongze more than half an hour to shake off Chen Fengqi and the other extras.

Chen Fengqi was just joking with him, and he could tell that, but the extras and the people in the noodle shop looked very similar; everyone's expression was filled with greed and desire.

When he arrived at the hotel where Lin Luoying was, Wang Xiaoxiao, Huang Qing, and Li Dan immediately surrounded him, as if they had been waiting for him.

"Hello, Nakazawa-nii!"

The three women shouted in unison, almost startling Liu Zhongze.

He quickly looked around and was relieved to find that no one seemed interested in his name.

Passersby simply noticed the loud noise from his side and would instinctively turn around to look.

When they saw the three women's unremarkable looks, they naturally lost interest in Liu Zhongze standing in front of them.

"Don't be so loud, this place is different from Haicheng." Liu Zhongze made a shushing gesture.

Huang Qing nodded immediately, becoming the first to agree.

Li Dan nodded in agreement, and Wang Xiaoxiao naturally had no objections.

"Have Sakura and my sister come down yet?"

Huang Qing and Li Dan shook their heads one after another, only Wang Xiaoxiao spoke up: "I just saw Yiyi. I found her staring blankly at the noodle shop outside the door. I thought my sister-in-law was in the noodle shop, so I went to ask Yiyi, but she ignored me and turned around and went back to her room."

Located on a commercial street, this hotel is decorated in a European style, giving it an immediate impression of elegance and sophistication.

Liu Zhongze put himself in that unfortunate girl's shoes and understood Liu Yiyi's thoughts.

She wasn't just standing there in a daze at the door.

She probably wanted to go buy noodles, but realized she didn't have enough money on her, and she didn't dare to go in to bargain, nor did she want to go back hungry.

It's likely that after seeing Wang Xiaoxiao, she knew the other two would be coming down soon, and she felt embarrassed, so she left.

"By the way, do you guys have any unused face masks? Could I have one?"

Huang Qing and Li Dan simultaneously rummaged through their bags, each taking out an unopened medical mask.

After Liu Zhongze accepted the gifts, he said, "Thank you. What are your plans for today, you three? Are you coming with us, or going out to have fun on your own?"

"Brother Zhongze, we came to Jiujiang because we haven't seen you in so long." Huang Qing's eyes were almost sparkling with stars, and his burning emotions could be conveyed through his eyes.

Liu Zhongze coughed, then turned his head and saw Li Dan blinking her eyes. No matter how he looked at her, she seemed unable to get enough of him.

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "We'll listen to you. Wherever you go, if you don't mind us following, we'll go with you."

"Okay, I understand. You three wait here for me. There are a few sofas over there. I'll tell you where to go when Lin Luoying, Yiyi, and I come down."

The three of them raised their hands to mid-air and clapped softly together.

When Liu Zhongze knocked on Lin Luoying's door, Liu Yiyi, looking listless, turned and left.

"Yiyi, is Luoying awake yet?"

"My sister-in-law just woke up and is still lazing in bed."

Liu Zhongze followed Liu Yiyi inside. Liu Yiyi was dressed neatly, as if she had been prepared for a long time. On the other hand, Lin Luoying, who was lying on the bed, stretched out her body like a kitten, displaying her perfect figure to Liu Zhongze.

"Son... Nakazawa, come here."

Sensing something was amiss, Liu Zhongze didn't move forward but instead asked, "Have you decided where to go today?"

"What's so fun about it? It feels like all tourist destinations are the same."

After saying that, Lin Luoying picked up her phone and started scrolling through short videos. She never liked getting up early and could usually stay in bed for one to two hours.

"If you're not going, I'll take Yiyi shopping instead."

Lin Luoying sat bolt upright in bed, turning her head away haughtily. As she got up, she complained, "Get up, get up! All you ever think about is your sister. You never come over and help me... pick me up! Honestly!"

Liu Zhongze didn't respond to Lin Luoying's words, and Liu Yiyi didn't realize Lin Luoying's thoughts either. She just covered her stomach with her hands and looked down pitifully.

"How about noodles for breakfast?"

Liu Yiyi immediately looked up at Liu Zhongze, only to find that her older brother wasn't looking at her; his eyes were fixed on Lin Luoying.

I thought to myself: Sure enough, my older brother is different from others. Everyone else's brother is a good brother, but my brother is a debt collector. How awful!

"I don't have much of an appetite. I'll eat later when I feel like it."

Lin Luoying slowly prepared to get out of bed and wash up. She wasn't interested in coming to Jiujiang; she had only come all the way from Haicheng because she hadn't seen Liu Zhongze for so long.

To bolster her courage, she even dragged Liu Yiyi along, fearing that in Jiujiang, if Liu Zhongze fell in love with someone else, she wouldn't even have anyone to cry to.

Liu Zhongze placed his hand on Liu Yiyi's head. Just as Liu Yiyi was about to slap it away, she heard Liu Zhongze say, "Then take your time. I'll take Yiyi downstairs to have a bowl of noodles before coming back."

"Fine, you little sissy." Lin Luoying teased casually.

Liu Yiyi withdrew her hand, which was halfway outstretched.

This time you're a decent guy, at least you know you're his sister. If you don't feed her soon, she'll starve to death.

When Liu Yiyi heard Lin Luoying say she wasn't hungry, she was already thinking to herself that she was different from Lin Luoying. She had fallen asleep early and naturally woke up early in the morning.

He took out the pocket money he had earned helping out at the bookstore, only to find that he couldn't even afford a bowl of noodles next to him, and could only stare helplessly at the hotel entrance.

Her mother had told her that girls should be reserved and not let others see their embarrassment, so after seeing Wang Xiaoxiao, she stopped drooling over those bowls of noodles.

Liu Zhongze patted Liu Yiyi's head. In his previous life, he did not have a younger sister; he was an only child.

Later he learned that he was actually the youngest in the family. His older brothers and sisters either died young or were given away, leaving his parents with only him. He was kept by his parents to take care of them in their old age; otherwise, he would have had to be given away too.

When did life not get hard when we fled to Hong Kong with our parents?

Unable to find work, Liu Zhongze's parents started thinking of crooked ideas and did some dishonest things, so he was very afraid of people coming to their house.

His days were very ordinary. If he failed to finish his chores at home, he would be beaten by his parents. As a result, he has been relatively introverted since childhood.

Looking at Liu Yiyi, who was about waist-high, Liu Zhongze felt as if he were seeing his younger, helpless self from back then.

"Come on, I'll give you a super big bowl of seafood noodles later, okay?"

Liu Yiyi tilted her head back and didn't speak. She hadn't forgiven her debt-collecting brother in her heart, but the light in her eyes clearly showed her attitude.
