Su Qianxun was looking forward to her younger brother’s reaction after she said that. However, Su Jiye did not raise his head after a very long wait, but hugged her instead…
She touched his head helplessly. She also did not want to force him, but she really hoped that he could recover soon.
But it was fine. She had enough patience to accompany him through his treatment until the day he would recover.
Aunt Zhang called to them from outside and Su Qianxun immediately pulled her younger brother off the bed. She let him clean himself up before she let him wear the new clothes that she had just bought.
Su Jiye appeared extraordinarily handsome wearing the college-style clothes. Su Qianxun really wanted to cry when she looked at her younger brother’s current appearance. Although she tried her best to not give her younger brother unfair treatment in these past two years, she knew that she only had limited ability because she was a student. She still owed him too much.
That woman, Su Manni had banned her, so she could not find any decent work. She could only work in those entertainment places. Su Qianxun knew that Su Manni was humiliating her, humiliating her mother, humiliating her maternal grandfather and humiliating the entire Su family…
That time she could not earn too much money even if she overworked herself. Her younger brother still needed to see a doctor. The pair of brother and sister barely got by, and they wore their clothes again and again. When the clothes were worn out, they would mend the clothes and continue to wear them. When Su Qianxun thought about that, she felt extremely sorry for her younger brother.
So when she received her salary this time, the first thing she did was to save some money to buy some new clothes for her younger brother.
Su Qianxun was very upset when she thought about this. Tears were already starting to well up in her eyes. “Our Jiye is a handsome boy. It’s my fault that I let you suffer so much with me during these past two years…”
Even if she was only older than Su Jiye by over a year, she still felt that as an older sister, she shouldered this responsibility for her younger brother.
After Su Jiye heard what his older sister said, he really wanted to tell her that no, that was not what he thought. He was truly really happy to be able to live with her.
He could give up on anything. He did not want medical treatment or pretty clothes; he just wanted to stay with her.
“Ah, right, I want to tell you some good news. Our older brother is back… I saw him and he even promised to come back tonight to have a reunion dinner with us.” Su Qianxun was extremely happy when she mentioned that. That day when Su Mochen left, he told her that he would visit her and Jiye today.
He did not say the exact time, but she believed that her older brother could keep his promise. Su Qianxun did not know what her older brother was doing, but he was actually being hunted by so many people that day… she was deeply worried when she thought about that.
Regardless of the situation, she would wait and put off this thought until her older brother had returned.
After the pair of siblings went out, Aunt Zhang complimented Su Jiye when she saw him too. Su Qianxun took out the spring festival couplets and luck-bringing papers with “happiness” printed on them that she had bought yesterday, and started to paste them on the door.
Su Qianxun asked Su Jiye to help her, and the pair of siblings were engaged in their chores. Su Qianxun asked her younger brother to apply glue onto the horizontal scroll and pass it to her for her to paste.
Su Jiye was very serious in completing his part, and when he was done, he passed it over to his older sister, who was waiting while standing on the chair.
When Su Qianxun was pasting the spring festival couplet, a person walked up from downstairs. He stood at the corner of the staircase and looked at Su Qianxun while she was earnestly pasting the couplets, and his mood turned extremely complicated.
Xia Chuxi also did not know why he came here. It had been three years, and it was also his first time visiting Su Qianxun and her younger brother during New Year’s day. He suddenly started to recall now how they had spent their New Year’s Eve together for many, many years before this…
