Chapter 9 I Love to Play
For several days, the sky was gloomy, and there seemed to be a layer of gray-blue film in the sky. There was also a vague mist when looking at the skyline. A drizzle began to fall that night, soaking the entire city thoroughly.
It seems like it will never stop.
After we broke up that day, only one sunny morning passed and then dark clouds began to brew the rain.
Jiang Ning was a little worried about her sister. She came back very early after finishing her school work and brought Jiang Yao's favorite little cake.
You can knock on the door.
What came into view was Jiang Yao sitting blankly at the bay window of the bedroom, leaning against the glass and looking at the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going in the community, looking distraught.
This situation lasted for several days.
Jiang Ning originally thought that her sister would get better soon, maybe just a little sleep and some crying would do the trick.
But the situation was not what she had imagined. What frightened her was that this state was exactly the same as when Jiang Yao was autistic before.
There was no smile on his face, he was listless about everything, and he didn't even want to talk. He ate and slept mechanically... When asked, the only response he gave was a faint "hmm", and then he went straight back to his room and closed the door.
"Yaoyao, the cake I bought..." Jiang Ning glanced at the untouched lunch on the table, retracted her gaze and walked to the bay window, "Have some."
Jiang Yao didn't answer and continued to lean on the window, staring intently at the downstairs.
After waiting for a moment, she suddenly spoke:
"Sister, what do you think Chen Yuan is doing now?"
"Why are you mentioning him suddenly?" Jiang Ning tucked her hair around her temples and smiled awkwardly.
"Did you see him at school today?"
"No……"
"He is really what I imagined him to be." Jiang Yao had a faint smile on her cheek, but it was a little creepy to her sister. She couldn't laugh even when she was crying. This behavior was too abnormal. But soon, Jiang Yao's tears fell like beads from a broken string. "But what did our presence bring to him?"
When Jiang Ning saw her sister crying, she felt very distressed.
She quickly went over and hugged her sister's shoulders.
In the past few days, Jiang Yao had no appetite and lived in a daze. The scene of meeting Chen Yuan that day kept circling in her mind. She betrayed the promise she made when they were in love and became the one who was abandoned in the end.
It was not a pleasant feeling, and she thoroughly experienced the pain of loss.
The thought of never having any contact with Chen Yuan again and us being strangers from now on made me feel sad.
She felt as if her heart was being squeezed and she couldn't breathe.
Jiang Ning comforted her quietly, but after a few words, she didn't know what to say anymore. Adults' joys and sorrows are never easily shown on their faces, and it is best to keep them in their hearts.
It's impossible for a woman like her to cry as freely as Jiang Yao.
Jiang Ning looked very busy. She couldn't say that it was because she would think of Chen Yuan when she had free time. After a meeting at school, she would habitually take out her mobile phone to log into another account, and then suddenly remember that there was no need to log into this account anymore.
When walking around the school, she would meet many students who knew her, and she would always respond politely when they greeted her.
She would have some very strange thoughts, afraid of meeting Chen Yuan, which would be a very embarrassing scene...but she also thought about this tiny possibility.
Make a little connection, take a look.
Even if we meet, I can only turn around and pretend not to know you.
An open class had just been attended yesterday. Jiang Ning pretended to be casual in the classroom, looking around. She observed for a long time but couldn't see Chen Yuan.
Feeling a little disappointed for no reason.
How can people be so strange? They got the results they wanted, but they are not happy at all.
At noon, Jiang Ning went to Yimei to meet a friend.
She was a little absent-minded when chatting upstairs, and her friends noticed it, and asked her what was going on for a long time out of curiosity.
Is she going to say that she is thinking about her 18-year-old ex-boyfriend? She wants to have sex in the bathroom.
Jiang Ning's face immediately turned red. The women smelled something unusual and wanted to torture her to extract a confession.
The rain outside the window is falling densely and diagonally.
Night falls slowly.
……
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
What surprised Jiang Ning the most was that her sister had recovered quickly from her heartbreak and had completely returned to her previous lively and lovely self.
It was one afternoon, and she came back from get off work as usual.
Jiang Yao suddenly stood at the door to welcome her home. As soon as she entered the door, she clamored for the stewed pork ribs made by her sister.
Of course Jiang Ning agreed readily, took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, quickly went into the kitchen, put on an apron, and began to prepare.
The two girls were talking and laughing. Even though she was cutting the mushrooms and her hands were moving non-stop, Jiang Yao still insisted on sticking to her and holding her waist tightly and refusing to let go.
"Okay, go sit on the couch and wait for me to finish."
"Sister, wait a minute, come over here and look in the mirror with me." "What? I haven't finished cutting the mushrooms, hey——"
As she spoke, Jiang Yao dragged her to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the living room.
The two girls looked at their identical faces in the mirror. Their facial features were delicate and charming, and their figures were also good. They looked like exact replicas of twins, and anyone who saw them would sigh that it was simply art!
If they didn't say it, almost no one could tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister.
"In comparison, it seems that my legs are a little bit thick, and my waist is not as thin as yours." Jiang Yao suddenly said.
"I manage my body shape, but you don't. You stay at home all day, eating, drinking and sleeping. It would be unfair if you have a better figure than me."
Jiang Yao did not refute, but instead touched Jiang Ning's butt in a very greasy way.
"You're a hooligan!?"
"What's wrong with touching? You touch mine too."
"You're crazy! I'm going to cook!" Jiang Ning spat, but she was very happy in her heart.
In the past, my sister was so frivolous and had many evil thoughts. This shows that she has come out of her repression.
She went back into the kitchen.
Jiang Yao in the living room suddenly said, "Sister, please accompany me downstairs for a walk later."
"what?"
The knife that Jiang Ning was using to cut something suddenly hung in the air. She raised her head in disbelief and looked over.
"I can't stay at home all the time. I have to learn how to interact with the outside world... You can't take care of me forever, right?" said my sister sincerely.
"Yaoyao, you really touched me today. OK! Let's go for a walk after dinner."
……
As winter gradually approaches, people on the streets are wrapped in thick windbreakers. The thick sycamore leaves on both sides of the road are gone, and most of the branches on the trees are lonely and withered.
Jiang Yao had more and more contact with the outside world, and at the beginning it was Jiang Ning who took her to various places.
One day, she actually went downstairs alone.
Although I only bought a bottle of AD calcium milk, I hurried back home.
But for her, who hadn't gone out alone for a long, long time, this was a great victory.
However, this naughty sister made her angry a lot!
That day, Jiang Ning was attending a meeting at school, listening to the leader's speech with a serious face, and colleagues around him were also sitting upright.
Suddenly, the cell phone in her pocket vibrated twice.
While the leader was speaking, Jiang Ning opened the message and saw that it was a text message from Jiang Yao.
"Sister, I recently saw a very interesting article, I want to share it with you! It suits my taste very well."
Jiang Yao likes reading novels very much, and her taste is very strange. She is obsessed with youth literature for girls, such as "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me" and "The Queen's Male Favorite". She always reads them while lying on the bed, smiling like an aunt and patting her white thighs.
She believed that the plot was true, which was not surprising, because Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao's family background was exactly the same as in the novel.
After all, my sister is just naive and stupid.
Playing Genshin Impact.
Jiang Ning didn't have high hopes for what she shared, so she clicked on it and took a look. She was surprised to find that the writing was quite good.
But this development...why is it a bit weird?
After watching for a few minutes, Jiang Ning suddenly widened her eyes, was stunned for two seconds, and quickly turned off the phone screen.
She realized what kind of text it was, and her face, from her neck up, suddenly felt incredibly hot.
"Jiang Yao, I'm at work!!! Do you want to die? (Little green crocodile slams the table)"
After get off work, Jiang Ning drove all the way home quickly. She walked into the living room angrily and was about to push open her sister's door.
It turned out that the door was locked.
"Hey, open the door, Jiang Yao!"
However, there was no response from the bedroom, but instead there were strange sounds.
Jiang Ning was puzzled, her brows slightly furrowed, she lowered her head and put her ear to the door, a vague sound came from inside.
After listening for a while, she bit her lip.
Her cheeks were already red enough to seem like blood was dripping from them.
Although Jiang Ning had the key, she would never open the door and go in. They had the same face, so it was okay to see her playing with toys.
But that feeling... was so weird.
