Chapter 24 – Going Home (2)
Su Jinbei patted her brother’s head, “How are you?”
Su Jianan smiled, “Very good.”
“That’s good, where’s grandpa?”
“In the study.”
Su Jinbei nodded, “Chen yi1 [javascript:void(0)]The term (a) yi means auntie and is also used to address the housekeeper. I’ll be addressing X as yi in dialogues when it’s being used as a suffix for housekeeper and Aunt X on other occasions. I forgot to mention this, but the same applies to all the titles in this translation~, help me take my luggage to my room.”
“Ok, miss.” The housekeeper approached her and took her luggage. Su Jinbei didn’t stay much and went straight to knock on the door of the study.
After greeting the head of the Su family, Su Jinbei came out of the study. Su Jianan, “Big Sister, is Second Aunt and Second Uncle not coming back today?”
“They’re busy, they’ll come over tomorrow.” Su Jinbei stretched and walked up the stairs, “That’s good, too, otherwise, I’d have to still listen to their nagging after flying the whole day.”
“Then it’s been tough on you, rest early today.”
“Good child.” Su Jinbei squeezed her little brother’s face, “I’ll take you out to play tomorrow.”
Su Jianan raised his eyebrows, “No, thanks, I don’t know what’ll happen if I do. Did you forget that last year we were blocked at the entrance of the mall?”
Su Jinbei raised her eyebrows, “Little man, that’s because your sister’s popularity is too great.”
As soon as she finished talking, there was a footstep on the stairs. Then, a black silhouette appeared at the stairway. Su Jinbei composed herself and called out, “Eldest Brother.”
Su Xianyan looked at her, nodded slightly, and said, “You’re back.”
“En, I didn’t know Eldest Brother was home today.”
“Getting something.”
“Oh.”
It was a simple conversation, Su Xianyan didn’t stay much, turned a corner and walked to the promenade on the other side, back to his room.
Su Jinbei shrugged, used to the cold reaction of this cousin of hers. At this moment, she suddenly remembered Zhou Shiyun, the two were equally cold and indifferent, isolated from the world.
Yet, they’re quite different. Su Xianyan’s indifference had a sense of coldness and a killer aura that intimidated people. But Zhou Shiyun’s indifference was completely natural. He wasn’t intentionally doing it, he was just used to doing so. It’s an inborn trait.
That’s why Su Jinbei wouldn’t dare approach Su Xianyan but dared to ‘break ground’ with Zhou Shiyun. She knew that Zhou Shiyun would not harm her, because he was originally like that.
“Big Sister, why do you look so happy?” Su Jianan wondered.
Su Jinbei touched her face, did she?
She knocked Su Jianan’s head, “What are you talking about, go back to your room.”
Su Jinbei said as she took out her phone, on the topic of Zhou Shiyun, she was so busy these days that she forgot to call to harass him.
After returning to her room, Su Jinbei laid lazily on the bed. She held up her mobile phone and typed out a few sentences, but then thought that normal texts would not make Zhou Shiyun reply, so she wrote what Zhou Shiyun was most likely to reply to.
“Zhou Shiyun, my stomach hurts so much, what do you think is going on?”
One minute later, he really answered the text message, a very cold, very short, “Which part.”
Su Jinbei’s smile bloomed like a flower, and carelessly replied, “On the right, could I possibly be sick?”
“If it hurts in the lower right, it may be the appendix, but other reasons cannot be ruled out. Go to the hospital.”
Su Jinbei was lying on the bed, “Ow, the left side suddenly hurts a lot too. Oh no, my entire stomach area hurts, I hope it’s not serious.”
This time Zhou Shiyun did not reply to her message for a long time. Su Jinbei waited a long time, and sent him a message again, “Dr. Zhou, stomach hurts, waiting for treatment.”
After a long time, he finally replied, “Hospital.”
Su Jinbei chuckled and switched positions on the bed, her two long, white, straight legs were cycling in the air.
“I would rather Dr. Zhou treat me, I don’t really feel like going to the hospital.”
“Oh.”
Just that?
Su Jinbei humphed, and finally called him directly. After the call was connected, she asked pretending to be weak and fragile, “Zhou Shiyun, your future wife is about to die from pain and this is how you react.”
From Zhou Shiyun’s side, the sound of paper flipping was heard, “You sound fine over the phone, it’s clearly nothing major.”
“My voice is so weak but you’re saying it’s no big deal? It’s an extremely big deal.”
Zhou Shiyun’s tone was faint, “In that case, instead of wasting time calling me, you should call 120 (China’s 911) for help.”
“You’re useless.” Su Jinbei secretly hooked her lips, deliberately lowered her voice, “My stomach is actually hurting because I was missing you. No one can cure it except you.”
Over the phone, Zhou Shiyun pursed his lips. He could imagine Su Jinbei’s cunning and hooliganism when she said this sentence.
“Su Jinbei.”
“What?”
“Tomorrow, I will go to the Su Residence.”
Su Jinbei was smiling in satisfaction and distracted. She had not expected Zhou Shiyun to suddenly say this, “What?”
“You’re going to Beijing with me at 8 o’clock tomorrow night.”
“Wait, what?” Su Jinbei sat up from the bed in a daze, “What plane, what Beijing, me with you?”
“En, I’ll, of course, inform your family.” Zhou Shiyun was casual as ever.
Su Jinbei was surprised, “Wait, why should I go to Beijing with you.”
“En…” Zhou Shiyun switched ears and continued indifferently, “Didn’t you say you missed me so much your stomach hurts? Then, let’s meet up.”
Su Jinbei, “…”
Fuck, did Zhou Shiyun learn from her and started telling cold jokes?
Su Jinbei didn’t expect Zhou Shiyun to suddenly say he would bring her to the Zhou Residence. She indeed liked Zhou Shiyun very much recently, but she wasn’t aware that she already had him in her hands? Why would he bring her home…
At first, Su Jinbei was confused, but later after thinking about it a little bit she understood. During her stay in the hospital, her mother didn’t come to bother her at all. That clearly meant she was handing her over to Zhou Shiyun. Her mother probably thought they were already together.
And if her mother thought so, then people from the Zhou family must also feel the same… Zhou Shiyun wanting to bring her back must be the elders’ wishes.
Su Jinbei got up and opened the closet. Since that’s the case…
What should she wear tomorrow?
Su Jinbei, who was seriously going through her clothes, seemed to have forgotten that she had never been fond of going to the Zhou Residence.
