The Rise of a Special Forces Soldier Abandoned by a Wealthy Family

the mall.

The most bustling commercial center in Beijing.

Neon lights flashed, and the air was filled with the clamor of voices.

Tie Zhu, carrying Shi Liu, walked into a brand-name clothing store.

A sales assistant approached with a professional smile.

But when they saw Tiezhu's simple attire and Shiliu's school uniform—

The smile faded slightly.

Tie Zhu didn't care.

He carried the pomegranates and examined them one by one.

"How about this one?"

He picked up a pink down jacket.

Shi Liu looked at the label.

Eight thousand eight.

She shook her head.

"Brother, it's too expensive."

"And I don't like pink."

Tie Zhu picked up another item.

A navy blue windbreaker with a simple design.

Shi Liu looked at the label.

One thousand and two.

She nodded.

"This one is fine."

"They're comfortable to wear and not expensive."

Tie Zhu looked at her.

A pang of sadness welled up inside me.

He knew why his sister had chosen this dress.

It's not because I like it.

It's because it's cheap.

The next half hour.

Shiliu tried on many clothes.

But in the end, they all chose those with simple designs and affordable prices.

She didn't even glance at any of the designer brands.

She said she "didn't like" anything expensive.

Tie Zhu considered swiping his card to buy the expensive items several times.

But Shiliu held his hand and shook her head.

"Brother, you really don't need to."

"As long as the clothes are comfortable, that's fine."

"I've always worn inexpensive clothes since I was a child, it's just a habit."

Tie Zhu was speechless.

All I can do is sigh.

Looking at my sensible younger sister, my heart felt both warm and aching.

Leaving the mall.

The night is dark.

Tie Zhu, carrying Shi Liu, arrived at a nearby upscale restaurant.

The decor is antique and elegant, and the lights are bright.

The area in front of the gate was filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

"Brother, is it very expensive here?"

Shi Liu was a little worried.

Tie Zhu smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm not short of money right now."

The two entered the restaurant.

We did not choose a private room.

I found a booth by the window and sat down.

After shopping for nearly two hours, the brother and sister were both tired and hungry.

They are foodies themselves.

It has a large appetite and can hold quite a lot.

and so--

When the pretty, innocent-looking waitress, who appeared to be around 18 years old, came over with the menu—

Tie Zhu ordered more than a dozen main dishes in one go.

Braised pig trotters.

Roast Duck.

Braised pork belly.

Sweet and sour pork ribs.

Steamed sea bass.

……

The waitress's eyes widened.

She looked at Tiezhu, then at Shiliu.

A friendly reminder:

"Sir, you've already ordered a lot of food."

"Our chef serves the food very quickly."

"If that's not enough, you can order more."

"There's no need to waste it."

Her voice was very pleasant, soft, and carried a hint of concern.

Shiliu looked at the pretty waitress.

Laughed.

"Don't worry, miss!"

"This amount of food might not even be enough for my brother alone!"

"So just order what he ordered!"

The waiter was taken aback.

Then, I laughed.

She has a beautiful smile.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

She turned and left.

Her silhouette, slender yet busy.

Less than ten minutes.

The dishes began to be served one after another.

The braised pig's trotters are bright red in color and have a wonderful aroma.

The roast duck is sliced ​​thinly and presented on a beautiful plate.

The braised pork belly trembled slightly, rich yet not greasy.

Tiezhu and Shiliu, those two foodies, immediately started eating!

They ate until their mouths were greasy!

"elder brother--!"

With meat stuffed in his mouth, Shiliu mumbled incoherently.

"This braised pig's trotter isn't greasy at all!"

"How about two more servings?"

Tiezhu was gnawing on a bone.

He nodded.

"Um!"

"Two portions aren't enough!"

"At least four servings, please!"

He swallowed the meat in his mouth.

"Where's the roast duck, little sister? Would you like two more?"

Shi Liu smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescent moons.

"good--!"

Shiliu talked about her school days with great enthusiasm, gesturing wildly.

Tie Zhu listened, smiled, and occasionally chimed in with a comment.

The night outside the window is very gentle.

The time spent inside the window was very warm.

This is something pomegranate hasn't felt in a very, very long time—

The taste of home.

The vegetables were quickly devoured.

There were more than a dozen plates, almost all of which were empty.

Shi Liu licked her lips.

The meaning is still unfinished.

She turned her head and called out to those behind her:

"Waitress!"

"We want to order more food!"

no respond.

Shi Liu paused for a moment.

He shouted again:

"Waitress?"

Still no response.

The pretty waitress has disappeared.

The pomegranate is a bit strange.

She looked around.

Inside the lobby, guests were still dining and chatting.

The waiters were busy moving around.

But that gentle older sister who had just ordered food for them and reminded them not to waste food—

Disappeared.
