Chapter 44 The Past
Shan Jingzhe was nervous.

His first dubbing was not as nervous as it is today.

After hanging up the phone the night before yesterday, he thought he would receive a friend request from Chen Sui's sister, but he waited and waited, but he didn't. For this reason, he wondered if her sister was also drunk. I forgot about it, but after thinking about it carefully, I found it wrong. They talked clearly and answered every question. They didn't look like drunk people at all. He didn't dare to call back, so he could only start to give up hope. waiting.

Finally, when his lunch break was approaching, he received a call from a stranger, and he answered it without any hesitation. It was Chen Sui's sister on the other side. The two had a chat and made an appointment to meet at a restaurant at 5 o'clock.

After hanging up the phone and adding friends, Shan Jingzhe breathed a sigh of relief, and then became nervous.

"Can I wear it today?" Shan Jingzhe asked Zhang Yichen.

"Yes, yes, you have asked this sentence three times today." Zhang Yichen's head grew dizzy: "What are you doing? Are you going on a date?"

"No, not a date."

"It's not a date? Why do you look so good-looking? Go on a blind date?"

"No, don't guess."

"Who did you date? Three years old?"

Shan Jingzhe pushed away his gossiping head: "No, don't gossip, I have to work, I have an appointment today, I have to leave early, I will tell you when I get back."

Zhang Yichen straightened his body, curled his lips and muttered: "Is it not three years old? You have been nagging about her for the past two days, and you almost engraved the four characters 'I love her' on your forehead." gone."

"What did you say?" Shan Jingzhe was looking down at the page, but couldn't hear what he said.

"It's nothing. I'm thinking about what to eat tonight? Hey, since you're not three years old, take me with you. I'll just eat and I won't bother you."

"No, don't gossip, work quickly, don't delay my get off work."

"You have changed! You are no longer my little one."

"Don't be poor, I really have something to do today, I'll treat you to dinner another day, and work first now."

"Oh." Zhang Yichen put away his playful thoughts, and started working with him seriously.

In the end, Shan Jingzhe saw that the time was almost up, and there was no time to pack things, so he patted Zhang Yichen's shoulder: "Brother, I'm almost up to time, so it's hard work for you to help me finish, thank you brother."

Then, without waiting for anyone to respond, he grabbed his phone and rushed out of the recording studio. The moment the door closed, Zhang Yichen's distraught voice came through the crack of the door: "Shan Jingzhe! Thank you so much!"

Shan Jingzhe stepped to the door of the agreed restaurant, and first sent a message to Ye Zhi to ask about the seat, and Ye Zhi quickly replied to him.

—Ye Zi: Have you arrived?

—Yezi: My side is blocked, and it will take about 5 minutes. Go ahead and find a place to sit down. It's quite cold outside.

—Shan Jingzhe: It’s okay, take your time, I’ll wait for you at the door, anyway, you’re almost here, so it’s time for the front and back, there’s no difference.

—Yezi: That’s fine, I’ll get there just by turning a corner, so please wait a moment.

—Shan Jingzhe: It's okay, no trouble.

After replying, Shan Jingzhe took a breath before realizing the cold, gathered his coat, rubbed his hands, and stomped his feet. He was afraid that he would be late and forgot to put on his gloves and scarf. What a mistake!
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Ye Zhi to arrive, and she walked up to him and explained, "Sorry, I'm late, I didn't expect this time to be so busy."

Shan Jingzhe looked at the delicate-faced girl in front of her and what she said, and was taken aback for a moment: "Hello, are you Suisui's sister?"

"I am," Ye Zhi took off her gloves and stretched out her hand: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Ye Zhi, and I am Sui Sui's cousin."

Shan Jingzhe quickly stretched out his hand to hold her half palm, and said nervously, "Hi sister, my name is Shan Jingzhe."

Hearing this address, Ye Zhi smiled: "I know, don't stand there, let's go in first, it's so cold."

Shan Jingzhe nodded and made a gesture to invite first, Ye Zhi was not polite, she nodded politely and walked into the restaurant one step ahead of her.

After the two of them sat down and ordered two or three dishes, Shan Jingzhe slowly relaxed and filled his and Ye Zhi's cups with hot tea: "Sister, how do you know me?"

"I've seen your photos on the Internet and understood."

"That's it."

Ye Zhi looked at his restrained appearance, a little funny: "Do you know everything that happened on the Internet that day?"

Shan Jingzhe nodded: "After hanging up the phone that night, I went to Weibo to find out the general situation and saw the screenshots of those rumors."

"I know what you want to know the most? Then let's stop talking nonsense and go straight to the point."

Ye Zhi took a sip of hot tea, warmed herself up, and said, "Except for the rumors about the mistress incident, I have heard about other personal attacks involving parents since I was a child." I've heard it since I was a child."

Shan Jingzhe's eyes widened, and he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Sui Sui came to our house at the age of three. One day, my mother brought Sui Sui back and told me that she would live in our house after Sui Sui. She said that my sister was still young and asked me to take care of her. At that time, I I already remember things when I was in elementary school, but I don’t understand why there is one more person in the family. Where did my uncle and aunt go? Why did Chen Sui live in our house? My mother didn’t explain it to me. I remember that during that period, my father and mother often I go out early and come back late, and my mother’s eyes are red all day long. I have to go to school during the day, and I leave it to my grandma to take care of me every year. I am about to take over the burden of grandma to take care of Suisui. At first glance, I can see that it is eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Suisui is particularly noisy during that time. I don't know during the day, but at night it is full of energy, howling is earth-shattering, I It was after nine o'clock to coax her to sleep, and I could do my own thing after coaxing her to sleep. It was fine for a day or two, but I also had a temper after a long time. I was only 7 years old at the time. I am also a child, I go to bed so late and wake up so early every day, I am also very tired, and finally I broke out one night."

"I will always remember that day when Sui Sui was crying like always. I was called up by the teacher and punished me because I dozed off in class. I was ashamed in front of the whole class. No matter how much she cried or yelled that night, I didn't try to comfort her. Even, I thought she was annoying to cry, so I covered her head with a quilt. She was tired from crying and was a little hypoxic. , Crying in the quilt is getting smaller and smaller, I don't know if I stopped crying because I was tired, or I was so stuffy and out of breath, I didn't even think about opening it to take a look, I even thought evilly, I felt It would be fine if she cried like this."

Ye Zhi took a breath, stopped talking, and poured down the tea in the cup in one go, but couldn't stop the red eyes.

Shan Jingzhe was sitting opposite her, the hand holding the cup was clenched subconsciously, the fingertips turned white with force, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "And then?"

Ye Zhi came over slowly, and continued, "It's also fortunate that my parents came back early that night, and hurried into my room when they heard the movement, and helped Suisui take off the quilt. I clearly remember the day when the quilt was taken off." For a moment, Suisui's red face and a severe cough that could not adapt to the fresh air for a moment, my mother was so angry and cried, she hugged Suisui and gave me a slap without any explanation, and I cried too, it really hurt , my mother was busy coaxing Sui Sui, and my dad was busy coaxing me. As for coaxing, I can’t remember clearly, and I don’t want to remember. At that time, I felt that my mother was no longer my mother, and my mother was someone else. I drove my dad out, locked myself in the room and cried for a long time, and fell asleep when I was tired from crying. When I was in a daze, my mother came to give me medicine, and then I woke up. We The two were in a stalemate and no one spoke first. In the end, my mother apologized to me first. She said she shouldn't hit me, but I did something wrong first. I didn't take good care of my sister. I quarreled with her. , I said, she needs someone to take care of her, and I need it too, and I am still a child, why do you want me to take care of her, you are my mother, and I cried too, why don't you come to coax her, go to coax her? She also has a mother herself, why did she come to rob me?"

"My mother looked at me, and tears came down. When I calmed down, she told me that my uncle and aunt were gone. I asked her what she meant? She said that it was like a grandpa. He passed away, so Dad Without my father, my grandma lost my grandfather, Sui Sui lost my parents, and you lost my uncle and aunt. I was ignorantly digesting this information, and then I heard my mother say: Because only Sui Sui and my uncle and aunt are left, So our family has to take good care of her, my uncle is my mother's elder brother, and my elder brother took care of my younger sister's mother when I was young, so I will take care of Chen Sui as my younger sister as my uncle did when I was a child."

"That night, my mother talked to me a lot about her childhood and uncle, and I don't remember the details. Anyway, from that day on, I took care of Sui Sui as my own sister. Let her be, who made her my sister, until she was 7 years old, when she was in the second grade and she was called a parent for fighting someone at school."

"Fight?" Shan Jingzhe's eyes widened, he really couldn't apply these two words to Chen Sui.

"Well, fight." Ye Zhi nodded affirmatively, and then laughed: "Don't you think it's incredible? The word fight would appear on her?"

Shan Jingzhe nodded honestly.

"It's true, Sui Sui is very naughty before the age of 7." Ye Zhi unceremoniously began to reveal her shortcomings: "She fought with a male student in the class because the classmate said that Sui Sui was unlucky, fate was hard, and he would kill Dad Mom. From the beginning of Sui Sui’s memory, we didn’t deliberately conceal her, but just told her tactfully: Mom and Dad have gone to a far away place, and they will come to pick her up when the time comes. My mother heard at school After learning about this incident and understanding the cause of the incident, he said domineeringly: "We are not wrong every year. The fault is that some people talk nonsense and teach children badly. Children, how can they understand these twists and turns? How could they understand these words?" What do you mean, and it is even more impossible to say such a thing, so it can only be what adults say for children to learn, often childish words are the most hurtful."

"After solving the problem of fighting and returning home, Sui Sui locked herself in the room. No one could yell out, and it was useless. It was the next morning when she figured it out by herself. From then on, she It just changed, becoming sensible and obedient, doing what you are asked to do, accepting everything, your own grades, dancing with me, and piano with my brother. Asking for advice, regardless of whether our body can bear it or not, we are all used to planning everything for her after a long time, and we forgot to ask her if she wants it in advance, until she and I went to dance practice in the second year of high school and fainted with a fever After she got married, she dared to tell us that she became so sensible because she was afraid that we would not want her. After all, our family has no responsibility and obligation to support her. My mother talked to her a lot alone. After that day, she gradually Talk to us, and dare to tell us what you think and want to do. Examing the National People's Congress and coming to the imperial capital are the first major things she decides on her own. Of course, we agree with both hands. In order to make her feel at ease, It is also for our peace of mind that my brother decided to come to the imperial capital to develop."
