Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Deep Affection Between Siblings
Ye Shu rummaged through her notebook bag, carefully packed away the hefty laptop, and then even went the extra mile to wrap it up simply.
She thought that this might convey both her and her father’s intentions to her brother, so he wouldn’t feel too lonely abroad.
Within the “Nine Lives Demon Phoenix” production team.
Ye Xinyu was fiddling with her phone in the rest area when her assistant Mi Taotao suddenly approached her, whispering something secretive into her ear, “Sister Xinyu, we’ve found the person.”
“Good, have her wait for me in Meilan Garden’s Room 9 at eight o’clock tonight.”
Ye Xinyu put her crossed legs down, a sly, calculating smile spreading across her face.
Evening, seven o’clock!
Ye Shu, holding the gift box, pushed open the door to Meilan Garden’s Room 8.
As soon as she entered, her ears were numbed by the blasting music.
Instinctively, she covered her right ear and side-stepped further inside.
Xia Ruchu saw her and immediately hopped over like a little rabbit, enthusiastically dragging her to sit next to her.
“Sis, you’re finally here! We’ve been looking forward to seeing Zifeng so much we’re practically becoming giraffes.”
Ye Zifeng frowned, pulled Xia Ruchu aside, and squeezed next to Ye Shu, “Sis, don’t mind her, she talks nonsense.”
“Guys, turn down the music—my sis doesn’t like noise!” Ye Zifeng, while gesturing to his exuberant friends to lower the volume, turned to Ye Shu with a cheeky grin.
“Sis, you’re holding such a big gift box; you’re not planning to give me a plush toy, are you? I’m not a kid anymore, you need to put some thought into gifts.”
“…” A faint blush of embarrassment rose on Ye Shu’s cheeks.
When it came to gifts, for many years, aside from giving Ye Zifeng a military green motorcycle for his coming-of-age ceremony,
She’d always habitually given him a plush toy every year.
It was all because their father would always buy plush toys for her as a child but never gifts for Ye Zifeng.
Back then, Ye Zifeng would always gaze longingly at Ye Shu’s plush toys, so she resolved to give Ye Zifeng one every year from then on.
Even after Ye Zifeng had grown up, Ye Shu just couldn’t break this habit.
Perhaps deep down, she wished Ye Zifeng would stay young forever.
And that she would always be there to protect him.
Ye Shu reached out, ruffled Ye Zifeng’s hair, “Don’t worry, it’s not a toy this time.”
“What is it then?” Ye Zifeng was eager to open it.
But Ye Shu reached out, holding down his hand, “Open it when you’re overseas. Promise me, no matter what happens, you won’t lose it.”
“Still playing mysterious, huh? It makes a guy really curious,” Xia Ruchu said, reaching out with a giggling intent to unwrap it.
But Ye Zifeng slapped her hand away, “Go on, stop that. This is from my sis!”
“Fine, I won’t touch it. What’s the big deal? You’re such a sister-complex!” Xia Ruchu pretended to pout in jealousy.
“What’s wrong with that? I am a sister-complex. In this lifetime, my heart is set on my sis alone!” Ye Zifeng declared, hugging Ye Shu’s arm, and leaning his entire face onto her.
Someone quite aptly played Wen Lan’s “Hand in Hand” at just the right moment.
The deep affection between the siblings overflowed from the big screen.
The melody of the music seemed to step through the years gone by with Ye Shu and Ye Zifeng.
The line, ‘Every step we take in the future will advance us on our dreams, even if occasionally the wind and rain hit us, we’ll hold onto each other’s hands,’ made her unconsciously grip Ye Zifeng’s hand tightly, tears streaming down her face.
