The love story of a wealthy brother and sister

At noon, Li Shu was still helping out at the noodle shop. Jiang Kaicheng was there a lot, so she saw them at a glance.

"Come and have lunch," Li Shu said with a smile as he led them to their seats.

"This is Jing Ran, you've met him before," Jiang Kaicheng introduced him to Li Shu as soon as they sat down, "This is Xiao Ci, she's the same age as you, both 17."

"Hello," she smiled at Lin Yingci.

"Hello," Lin Yingci also greeted her, but neither of them knew what to say, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

"Are you also taking the college entrance exam next summer?" Li Shu suddenly asked. Lin Yingci nodded: "You too?"

"Um,"

"What do you want to eat? Our beef noodles are our specialty." Li Shu smiled and asked quickly.

"Then I'll have beef noodles, with thin noodles." She emphasized. Li Shu nodded and looked at Lin Jingran: "What about you? What do you want to eat?"

"Same as her." Lin Jingran glanced at Lin Yingci and replied.

"What about you?" Li Shu finally looked at Jiang Kaicheng.

"I want beef noodles too. Remember to order a separate portion of beef."

Li Shu smiled and said, "I know."

"Isn't she pretty and cute?" Jiang Kaicheng asked softly after Li Shu left.

Lin Yingci nodded repeatedly.

"How far have you developed?" Lin Jingran asked curiously.

"Last time I came here to eat alone, I chatted with her for a few words and added her on WeChat." Jiang Kaicheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "But she didn't reply to me after just a few words."

Lin Yingci couldn't help but smile and comforted him, "Don't be too anxious. Your studies must be the most important thing now."

Jiang Kaicheng nodded, and Lin Jingran suddenly thought of something. Maybe he shouldn't be too anxious. Shouldn't he wait until she finishes the college entrance examination before confessing his feelings?

He also knew that such ambiguity was not good, but he was always unwilling to treat her casually.

.

In the study room late at night, Lin Yingci curled up on the sofa again and read "The Count of Monte Cristo"

When Lin Jingran came in, he only saw several test papers scattered on the desk.

"Are you catching up on your summer homework?" He sat down on the desk and picked up her test paper.

"Yeah, headache." Lin Yingci didn't even raise her head. Suddenly she thought of something, put down the book and looked up at Lin Jingran.

.

The night was silent, with only a bright moon hanging in the sky, emitting a cold light. The girl's eyes were bright, delicate and beautiful under the moonlight:

"Do you know what is the most relaxing thing for me now?" She asked mysteriously.

"What is it?" Lin Jingran was very interested;

"Yes, I can secretly read extracurricular books like I do now," she laughed. "I remember that when I was in the evening self-study class at school, I often had a headache doing the papers. Every time I did that, I would secretly take out the extracurricular books to read. After reading for a while, I would feel," she paused and emphasized, "infinitely wonderful."

Lin Jingran smiled and nodded, then asked, "What books do you read at school?"

"I bought a copy of Reader's Edition or Youth Digest from a newsstand," she smiled and shook the book in her hand. "This book is too big. There's no place to put it in school."

Lin Jingran nodded, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

"If you enjoy reading, read more."

"It's an extracurricular book," Lin Yingci emphasized with a smile, and glanced at the test paper on the table, "Unfortunately there are too many homework assignments, and math and geography are particularly difficult, especially geography. I really don't understand the ocean currents and wind belts."

Lin Jingran quickly found the geography test paper and volunteered, "I'll help you with it, you read the book."

Lin Yingci smiled and said, "You are so kind, Brother Jingran."

Lin Jingran frowned and imitated her sarcasm: "I understand, Sister Xiaoci."

Then, the only sound in the quiet study room was the rustling of Lin Jingran's writing...

.

At the end of July, An Yishang took Lin Yingci to a studio near the Bund to pick out dresses. The photographer was a Frenchman, and he was also an old friend of An Yishang. He personally took Lin Yingci to his studio to choose dresses for the photo shoot.

.

The old-style French house has a spiral staircase and large French windows with green trees full of life swaying in the breeze and the sun shining through. It is such a pleasant time.

The girl in a white lace suspender dress on the stairs was listening attentively. Her skin was white and transparent, and her hair was pinned up, revealing her superior shoulder and neck lines. Her small face, as big as a palm, was delicate and elegant.

The uncle kept speaking French to her, while Akihiro translated beside her.

"He said that DIOR had just delivered the new season's couture last night. He looked at it for a long time yesterday but didn't feel anything. But when he saw you today, he suddenly remembered that dress. It suits you so well."

An Yishang smiled at Lin Yingci as he spoke, and Lin Yingci smiled back and nodded seriously;

The second floor was a huge cloakroom. The uncle suddenly took her hand excitedly and took her to the huge DIOR skirt.

It was a tube top dress. The pure white satin fabric was embellished with fluffy light pink embroidered flowers, and there were also silver thread embroidered leaves next to it. It had a very strong three-dimensional sense, and it was simple, elegant, high-end, delicate and noble.

The uncle said something else, and An Yishang quickly translated: "Go and try it."

.

Two female assistants came over to help her get the skirt. Xiaoci nodded to them and followed them into the cloakroom. When she came out, the uncle couldn't help but applaud.

Lin Yingci was so suitable for this skirt. The length was just right to her ankles, with a little train and the waist was just right. The uncle said "Amazing" and then kept talking to An Yishang. An Yishang nodded in response and said to Lin Yingci with a smile: "He said I am very good at finding people. This skirt seems to be tailor-made for you."

The uncle started looking for the second skirt again, still talking to Lin Yingci, with An Yishang translating.

"We're going to shoot three sets, so we have to pick two more. He asked you to take a look for yourself."

Lin Yingci nodded.

Finally, they chose a beige tube-top miniskirt, which was covered with beautiful feathers and was very special; the last set was a turmeric woolen windbreaker with a dark yellow thin long sweater inside, and the jewelry was still provided by Vinesty. The shooting date was set for next Monday, and the location was the Bund, the racecourse and the third floor of the villa.

"The outdoor area is at the Bund and the racecourse, and the indoor area is here. They think this kind of house has the characteristics of old Shanghai," An Yishang took her around the house and explained to her softly. Lin Yingci nodded.

"Are you going to take the college entrance exam next summer?" An Yishang asked, and added at the end, "Will you take it?"

"Take the exam," Lin Yingci nodded, "Now I just want to finish it quickly."

"Are you under a lot of academic pressure?" An Yishang looked at her.

Lin Yingci nodded: "And I am biased in subjects. Math and geography are particularly difficult for me, especially math. I have done more than ten correction books. The best I can do is to get an average score." She suddenly laughed at herself, "Maybe I am just stupid——"

"That's not it," An Yishang interrupted her quickly, "Everyone has their own strengths. You should see your own shining points. For the weak points, try to catch up and do your best, but don't let that part destroy your confidence."

Lin Yingci was grateful for what he said and nodded heavily: "Okay, thank you."

"Why thank me?" An Yishangye smiled. "Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. It's normal. What's important is your heart." After a pause, he explained, "Your mentality."

"Okay, but I'm still going to try my best to learn."

"Yes, you can also make full use of your strengths," Akihiro asked after a pause, "Your strength should be... writing?"

Lin Yingci suddenly laughed: "I'm not very good at writing essays, that's all. My strength is reading casual books, the kind that can read ten lines at a glance, very quickly."

An Yishang couldn't help but smile: "That's amazing too."

"Amazing but... useless."

"Why is it useless?"

The sun shone in through the glass windows. The boys and girls on the second-floor steps were talking and laughing, and the sun cast a golden edge around them.

"If you use it for an exam, it may not be very useful, but if you enjoy reading it, then it is useful, and..." An Yishang hesitated as he spoke: "Will I sound like I'm preaching?"

"How could it be," Lin Yingci exclaimed, "Just tell me, I love to hear it." Her smile was so pretty that anyone who saw it would like it.

"The books you read will form your thought system. When you encounter something, you will judge right and wrong and value by yourself without listening to others."

Lin Yingci thought for a moment and said, "So it's useless to read the book in vain."

"Yes," Akihiro praised repeatedly, "Even the slightest leap in thinking brought about by reading is very worthwhile."

Lin Yingci nodded.

"Man is a thinking reed," An Yishang said slowly.

"Thoughts make a person great." Lin Yingci continued his words.

An Yishang nodded and added: "All human dignity lies in thought."

Then the two of them said almost in unison: "Pascal."
