Thirteen brothers urged me to get married

20.

"Goodbye Sakura, Kosuke, Katsumi, Yu, Shinji, goodbye--" After lunch, Yukie squatted at the door, saying goodbye to the children of Oda Sakunosuke's family.

Xiao Le hugged Xuezhi reluctantly: "Sister Xuezhi, goodbye--"

As she spoke, she kissed Xuezhi's cheek, which was so sweet that Xuezhi's heart almost melted.

As the editor of Sakunosuke Oda, Ryukyu has been here many times, and he is already familiar with the children.

When saying goodbye, she was not as reluctant as Xuezhi.

Although the little boys were disappointed that Odasaku still hadn't found a girlfriend, they still waved politely to Yukie and Ryukyu: "Goodbye sister Yukie, goodbye brother Ryukyu—"

After leaving Oda Sakunosuke's house, Yukie originally thought that even if Ryukyu's character would not do such things as questioning her, she would mention that she lied to her younger brothers to stay with Yukie yesterday, but in fact they didn't.

In fact, it is not a big deal, the main reason is that Xuezhi feels embarrassed and guilty.

After all, staying out at night and cooperating with girlfriends to cheat people, it sounds like they have done something bad.

In line with the idea that extending the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife.After being silent for a while, Xuezhi spoke first.

The cause of this incident was that she fell asleep after drinking too much and did not receive calls from her brothers.

And Momoi Wuyue had a strange association, and took the initiative to help Xuezhi cover.

When Xuezhi woke up, the incident had already happened, and she didn't want her younger brothers to have any opinion on Momoi Wuyue, so she made the mistake.

Now that the choice has been made, Xuezhi will naturally not confess Momoi Wuyue.

It often takes more lies to complete a lie, which is too difficult for Xuezhi.

So she decided to blur the timeline and try to make the truth misleading.

She said: "I didn't mean to lie to you, it's just that there was a temporary situation in May. It was too late and it was too troublesome to go back. I happened to meet Mr. Oda, so I stayed here for one night."

"I know, sister." Lucy's eyes were gentle, and he didn't mean to blame her at all, "Don't be nervous."

Liu Sheng spoke very slowly and had his own unique habit of punctuating sentences, which made him appear particularly sincere at such times.

In just a dozen or so words, Xuezhi's nervous mood has been calmed down by him.

"I will, help my sister keep it a secret." Liu Sheng put his index finger on his lips, making a gesture of keeping it secret.

While Xuezhi breathed a sigh of relief, he was also a little moved.

She looked at Liu Sheng and couldn't help confirming, "You said so."

Liu Sheng stretched out his hand towards her, holding four fingers, only the little finger slightly bent: "Do you want to pull the hook?"

"You don't need to pull the hook?" Xue Zhi said, but she stretched out her hand to pull the hook honestly.

The two smiled at each other.

The atmosphere became harmonious and cheerful, and the two walked towards the station side by side. They had to take a car to Lupin's bar first, where Xuezhi's car was still parked.

"Is sister free today?" Lucy asked.

Xuezhi shook her head and said with a smile: "Ah, there is no arrangement today, does Liu Sheng want to date my sister?"

As he spoke, he blinked his right eye at Lucy.

The smile on Liu Sheng's face deepened: "Well, I want to go on a date with my sister."

Xuezhi tilted her head to look at him: "Then leave us, Liu Sheng, today."

After a while, she suddenly remembered: "Isn't Lucy going to class today?"

Lucy had determined early on that he wanted to become an editor. He had been an intern at his family's publishing house since the beginning of high school, and now he was able to independently sign a contract with a writer.

Therefore, Xue Zhi would always unconsciously ignore the fact that Liu Sheng was still a sophomore in high school.

"I asked for leave today." Lucy said very naturally, as if asking for leave was a very normal thing.

Of course, it is true in practice.He then added: "There is no problem with the homework, sister don't worry."

Xuezhi was not worried about this, as Liusheng's grades had always been very good.

-

Xuezhi drove along the road indicated by Liu Sheng, and the more he drove, the more familiar the surrounding street scene became.

Until she saw three huge LME logos from a distance, appearing on the building of the LME brokerage company in front.

Xuezhi recalled Fengdou's training schedule, and asked uncertainly: "Go to LME to find Fengdou? Now Fengdou should be in school, right?"

Liu Sheng shook his head and continued to guide the way: "Turn right at the intersection ahead."

"Oh, just passing by." Xuezhi drove forward, then turned right.

Hmm... It's still very familiar, it's the tennis club she and Ukyo visited together.

Liu Sheng's voice rang in his ears: "It's here."

Is it really this tennis club?

Xuezhi parked the car, walked into the tennis club with Lucy, and couldn't help but wonder if Lucky asked Youkyo specifically to bring her here.

After all, Lucy is not someone who likes and is good at sports.

She looked at her younger brother, a bit puzzled by his thoughts: "Lusheng, you are..."

Lucy winked at her: "You will know when we arrive."

Then Xue Zhi followed Liu Sheng, and was brought into a... tennis court by the staff...

There is no unexpected feeling at all. Of course, you want to enter the tennis court when you come to the tennis club.

So what was she expecting just now?

Xuezhi looked at the tennis court, then at Liu Sheng beside him, but said nothing.

She was waiting for Liu Sheng to say something, he couldn't be a person who doesn't exercise very much, he brought her to the tennis court to play tennis with her, right?

really not...

Liu Sheng pulled Xue Zhi and sat on the bench beside the tennis court, looked at the empty tennis court and the net in the middle, and said softly: "I have always thought about it all these years, if my sister hadn't given up on tennis back then, Now, what is it like?"

Xuezhi's heart skipped a beat.Recently, because of Zao's affairs, she frequently thought of this matter.

But she didn't expect that this matter would be remembered by Liu Sheng for so many years.

"Why do you want to do such a thing?" Xuezhi asked him relaxedly, but actually her palms were already sweating from tension.

"Big sister, it was because of me that she gave up playing tennis." Liu Sheng turned his head with a smile on his face.

That smile was heavier than crying.

Maybe it was because Liu Sheng didn't have too much mood swings, or maybe he hid his emotions so well that she realized now that Liu Sheng was not as happy as he had shown before.

"Why do you think so?" Xuezhi looked at him in surprise, as if he had said such an outrageous thing.

In fact, her hands were hidden under the hem of her skirt, clenched so tightly that her nails dug into the flesh.

She felt that her acting skills had never been better.

But Liu Sheng didn't believe it, the smile on his face that was heavier than crying had disappeared, and those two-way gentle eyes were full of unresolved sadness.

"I know, sister." Liu Sheng took Xuezhi's hand and put it in his palm, "I know all about it."

"If it wasn't for me..."

"No!" Xuezhi interrupted his self-blaming words.

She felt his hand trembling, she held his hand tightly, and said solemnly: "Lusheng, listen to me."

"The decisions I made were all of my own volition. I did it because I wanted to. It wasn't because of anyone else, including you."

But no matter how serious she was, how solemnly she told Liu Sheng that this matter had nothing to do with him, he would not listen.

This matter has been buried in his heart for ten years, and he has been overwhelmed by guilt.

Xuezhi's breathing seemed to be heavy with his emotions, and she said with a bit of self-abandonment: "Tell me, what I have to do to make you believe me."

Liu Sheng's brows were frowned, "You really don't like playing tennis?"

Xuezhi nodded without hesitation.

Lucy said, "Then prove it to me."

Xuezhi?

How to prove such a thing?

-

Xuezhi changed into her sportswear and returned to the tennis court, thinking all the way how things turned out like this.

How did it become a game of tennis with the person Lyusheng had found, and use tennis to prove to him that she no longer likes playing tennis?

This is simply a paradox.

She simply can't prove it.

How can you say you don't like tennis, which you liked so much in middle school?

It's just because, in Xuezhi's heart, it's more important to accompany the younger brothers to grow up than to play tennis.

In Xuezhi's sophomore year in high school, Liusheng was only seven years old.At that time, she was busy with the training of the tennis club and participating in the National High School Women's Tennis Competition with her teammates, ignoring the growth of her younger brothers.

Just the day before the final, Xuezhi received a call from Yachen that Liusheng was seriously ill and was hospitalized, even in the ICU.

The younger brothers knew that she was about to start the finals, and they kept hiding from her about Lucy's hospitalization.

If it wasn't for Liu Sheng's condition getting worse suddenly, Yachen called her in a panic, she might not know about the matter until the end of the game.

Perhaps when she was celebrating the victory with her teammates, she didn't know that her dear brother was lying in the ICU suffering from illness.

When Xuezhi arrived at the hospital, Liu Sheng was out of danger, but he didn't wake up until the next day.

Xuezhi waited outside the ward for a day, blaming herself for a day.

Especially when she learned that Liu Sheng's sudden illness was due to missing her so much, and she went to sleep in her room at night, and unexpectedly discovered that she was actually adopted, not Meihe's own.

Emotional ups and downs, plus sitting all night and catching a cold, eventually developed into pneumonia.

Xuezhi spent the whole day reflecting outside Liusheng's ward. She ignored her family because of tennis and missed many important moments of their growth.

In the end, she made the decision to give up tennis.

With Liusheng's insistence, Xuezhi caught up at the last minute in that year's final and won the championship with his teammates.

After that, Xuezhi quit the tennis club and almost gave up tennis, only occasionally playing a game or two with his younger brothers.

In order not to let the younger brothers fall into self-blame, Xuezhi simply told them that he no longer likes tennis.

Actually still like it.

Xuezhi was very sad.

Although Lucy didn't play tennis, he knew her well.Whether she was happy or not when playing tennis, whether she liked tennis or not, it was impossible for him not to be able to tell.

Thinking about it this way, isn't this a reverse proof?In the end, what should Lucy do if he fell into guilt again?

Xuezhi pondered: "Unless the person he finds is very, very powerful and beats me powerless. If I am abused by tennis balls until I can't muster up the courage to resist, it will definitely prove that I don't like tennis anymore."

She followed Lucy with heavy steps, and walked to another tennis court.

When she saw the people on the tennis court clearly, she knew it was safe.
