It's hard to quit, but it's the perfect marriage!

Zhu Xi was perceptive and noticed something was wrong.

She put down her phone and walked over. "Brother, who is it?"

Zhu smiled and handed her the phone, which had already been turned off.

"examine?"

Seeing his upright and honest demeanor, Zhu Xi only glanced at the screen before pushing the phone back.

Just then, Zhou Yinghuai walked over and said to her with a smile, "Let's go check if we've forgotten anything. After we eat, we'll head back to Libei."

Zhu Xi glanced sideways, said "Oh," and obediently went to the bedroom to check what had been left behind.

As soon as she left, Zhuhe's expression immediately changed.

Zhou Yinghuai patted his shoulder, their eyes met, and no words were needed.

Let her be happy for one more day.

-

The group ate lunch at 2 PM. Lou Yan was not in much interest and only ate a few bites before taking Huo Xi away.

No one knows where it was taken.

All Zhu Xi knew was that Huo Xi had reached out a helping hand to her when he left, and the desolate feeling of a lamb entering a tiger's den in his eyes.

Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do.

They could only watch helplessly as Lou Yanhui's car taillights gradually disappeared into the distance.

Several people, with extremely contrasting emotions.

In the sweltering summer heat, she was in high spirits and went to find her first love, carrying a food box full of snacks and other treats.

Before leaving, he warned Zhou Yinghuai, "Don't bother me while I'm eating grapes just because you can't have them yourself."

Zhu Xi didn't understand and asked Zhou Yinghuai in return, "You like to eat grapes?"

Zhou Yinghuai: "?"

"Why didn't you write down your preferences when I asked you to in my dorm last time?" Zhu Xi's eyes darted around. "Does your family grow grapes?"

Zhou Yinghuai reluctantly corrected her wording, "Mrs. Zhou, it's our family."

Zhu Xi: "Oh. Thanks to you, I now also have capital privileges."

Zhou Yinghuai again: "..."

The group gathered quickly and dispersed just as easily.

Zhu Xi hadn't eaten this for a long time, and once she picked up her chopsticks, she couldn't stop eating.

Zhou Yinghuai didn't rush her. He served her food while smiling at her, "Slow down. The gluttons from Shengxia are all gone. No one will be competing with you for food."

Zhu Xi puffed out her cheeks, "You have no idea how long I've been craving this."

This time-honored brand also has a branch in Libei.

Zhu Xi also went there.

It just doesn't taste the same as the authentic version here.

Zhou Yinghuai took out a tissue and wiped the oil stains from the corner of her lips, saying indulgently, "It's okay, we have plenty of time."

Zhu Xi's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Hey, why did it take my brother so long to answer the phone?"

Zhou Yinghuai grinned mischievously, "They're probably in a relationship."

"Come on." Zhu Xi put down her chopsticks. "My brother is like a block of wood. The lab is his girlfriend. He has a love-hate relationship with it. He wants to be with it 20 hours a day."

Zhou Yinghuai didn't believe it.

In Zhou Lingyi's words, he used to only know how to make money.

Everything changed after I met Zhu Xi.

He chuckled, "Sister Xi, haven't you ever thought about what kind of sister-in-law you'll have?"

Zhu Xi, who was eating roast duck, shook her head. "It's what my brother likes."

He really is a brother-obsessed guy.

Zhou Yinghuai poured her a glass of lime juice and then asked, "What if he finds someone you hate the most?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi frowned.

She countered with, "Does it have to be the most hated one?"

Zhou Yinghuai smiled gently, "Absolutely."

Zhu Xi gasped, "Yu Qingge is my sister-in-law?"

She pouted and pretended to shake the goosebumps off her body. "Then I have to cut ties with my brother."

"Is it that serious?" Zhou Yinghuai laughed at her. "Shouldn't a brother-lover support all of his brother's decisions?"

"Sister Xi, does this decision not include your sister-in-law?"

Zhu Xi knew he was asking that on purpose.

He also deliberately replied, "Then it seems you're not a sister-complex either."

"Oh?"

"He hasn't severed ties with Lingyi."

Zhou Yinghuai ruffled her hair. "Eat up."

The light in Zhu Xi's eyes dimmed little by little. Instead of picking up her chopsticks again, she rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window.

"It's a pity I can't keep taking leave, otherwise I really want to fill my brother's 20-day vacation."

Zhou Yinghuai's heart clenched, and he regretted bringing up this topic that had hurt her.

Going abroad was a piece of cake for him.

But for her, the chief resident, it was an impossible task.

He pursed his lips, reached out and ladled a bowl of corn and pork rib soup for her. "Sister Xi, you haven't had this yet."

Zhu Xi waved her hand, looking dejected, "My brother likes to drink it, so I'm saving it for him."

Just in time, Congratulations on coming back from your phone call.

Seeing that only the two of them were left, they were stunned for a moment.

Where are they?

After asking, seeing Zhu Xi pouting, he reached out and pinched her cheek. "Who upset you again?"

Zhu Xi remained silent.

Congratulations on receiving Zhou Yinghuai's signal. He sighed and dared not speak further.

In the room called "Happy Reunion," the three remained silent for a moment.

"Brother," Zhu Xi said, serving Zhu He soup, "Brother, should I go back and ask the old man to treat me to more soup...?"

Congratulations! You looked up. "Hmm?"

"I understand." Zhu Xi lowered her head dejectedly, holding the bone china soup spoon.

Zhou Yinghuai, an outsider, lamented the suppression of bloodline and couldn't help but think of his troublesome younger sister, Zhou Lingyi.

If Zhou Lingyi were half as obedient as Zhu Xi, he wouldn't be disgusted by Lan Qi's face now.

It's even more likely that he didn't retaliate at all when Lan Qi deliberately called him "Big Brother".

While he was trying to figure out how to make Zhu Xi happy, Zhu Xi already had a smile on her face.

When her brother-in-law offered a congratulatory remark, it brought a light to Zhu Xi's eyes.

"When we get back tonight, I'll drink with you until we're both drunk!"

Zhu Xi was immediately delighted, "You mean it?"

It's a deal.

The brother and sister reached an agreement.

Zhou Yinghuai, an outsider, timidly spoke up, "Could I... join?"

Zhu Xi: "No!"

Congratulations: "You've got it!"

With differing opinions, Zhou Yinghuai's smile became stiff.

Zhu Xi, smugly raising an eyebrow, said, "Tch, you're everywhere!"

Zhou Yinghuai wouldn't listen to her either, saying, "You're a brother-obsessed person, you have to listen to your brother."

Zhu Xi: "I can also choose not to listen to my brother."

-

The three of them were playfully fighting, chatting and laughing.

The return journey.

Zhu Xi was lying in the back row and only played on her phone for a short while before Zhu He forced her to take a nap.

She chuckled, hugged the soft pillow, and closed her eyes.

Suddenly, I felt a lightness on my body, and a cool fragrance wafted over me.

She opened her eyes and saw Zhou Yinghuai putting a coat on her.

Completely defenseless, she stumbled into his gentle and affectionate gaze.

The coat she had previously disliked now brought her back into a cool and comforting warmth.

Their eyes met, and Zhou Yinghuai gently stroked her face with his fingertips. "Go to sleep, Zhu He and I are here."

Zhu Xi bit her lip and gave a vague "Mmm".

He quickly fell asleep under Zhou Yinghuai's watchful gaze.

Looking out the window at the receding scenery, Zhuhe sighed, "The return journey is always faster than the journey there."

Zhou Yinghuai: "Are you sure you want to leave?"

Zhuhe looked away, glanced at her sleeping sister, and said, "Forget about private jets; applying for flight routes takes time. There's a flight tomorrow night; I've already bought the tickets."

Zhou Yinghuai: "What a coincidence! You just returned to China, and the lab caught fire?"

"Congratulations! If you need anything while you're abroad, please let me know."

He nodded in congratulations, accepting the gesture.

Zhou Yinghuai placed his large hand on his shoulder, "Only when you are safe and sound can I have a good life."

He will do everything in his power to protect everything that Zhu Xi cares about.

"it is good."

Zhu Fu then looked at Zhu Xi and said, "You are now her guardian, Zhou Yinghuai. I am entrusting my sister to you."
