How was your consideration? Ning Zhiyun reacted and chased after her brother's shadow, but her speed was far from comparable to Ning Xiyu's. In the night-colored Ning family garden, Ning Xiyu ran like a cheetah towards the gate, while behind him was Ning Zhiyun, panting heavily in pursuit.
"Brother, wait for me!" Ning Zhiyuan's voice echoed throughout the entire Ning household. This scene of chasing and calling out to each other in a state of anxiety was like a replay of that one moment eight years ago.
History repeats itself, as she runs to the gate, just like last time, helplessly watching her brother's tall figure quickly get into a military jeep parked outside the gate, "bang" the door closes, and the car speeds away.
Ning Zhiyun's eyes were red and her emotions were complicated as she returned to the house, her anger towards her parents had long been diluted by her brother's hasty departure.
She listlessly sat down in front of the computer, catching sight of a delicate box on the desktop, her dull eyes gradually filling with delight. She carefully untied the exquisite ribbon, opened the box, and inside was a diamond necklace.
Her gaze was immediately drawn to it, and she took out the necklace for a closer look. It was an Enzo necklace, with a delicate and elegant design that suited Ning Zhiyuan's taste perfectly. The necklace had a pendant in the shape of a heart, made up of many purple diamonds, which sparkled luxuriously without being gaudy.
The diamond emitted a dazzling light, like a hot energy that warmed her cold heart. It had been many years since her brother last gave her a gift, and the small necklace felt heavy in her palm. Ning Zhiyun put on the necklace in front of the mirror, and it set off her snowy neck, showcasing its elegance and refinement, exuding a clear and elegant temperament.
Carefully playing with the pretty pendant in hand, it suddenly opens with a snap, revealing a miniaturized photo inside, which is a group photo of the siblings taken two days ago.
No wonder he insisted on taking countless selfies with her that day, it turns out he was secretly working on this.
Looking at the two people smiling as sweetly as honey in the photo, the corners of their mouths involuntarily rose, and just then, a message came from the phone.
"Yuner, are you really okay? If there's anything, be sure to tell your brother. The gift on the table is for you. From now on, I'll be turning off my phone for a while until this urgent matter is dealt with. My mobile number is... You can send me messages later and I'll get back to you when it's convenient."
Ning Zhiyan lay on the bed, her hand holding the phone trembling slightly, trying to hold back tears, but still a glimmer of light appeared in the corner of her eyes. She thought that this brother would leave again and be gone for several years like eight years ago, and they could only contact each other by email. Now it seems that this separation is different from the one eight years ago!
"Reporting to General, the gift is very beautiful and Yuner likes it! Thank you! Also, Yuner will periodically or irregularly disturb you, please prepare your mind!"
She knew that once she sent this message, he might have already turned off his phone and maybe wouldn't see it until N days later, but even so, she would wait patiently for his response.
With a happy heart, I saved Ning Xi Wei's phone number, only to feel the pain of the slap from my dad. Mom said she would ask someone to help me with a cold compress, but no one came. Perhaps, neither mom nor dad remembered.
Ning Zhi allowed her hand to wrap around the big Miffy and pull it into her arms, burying her head in its warm belly. Since her brother left home, Miffy had become her closest companion in this house, always accompanying her, whether she was happy or like now...
The next day, Ning Zhiyun deliberately lingered in the room until almost noon before coming out. In the morning, a servant had come to knock on the door and said something softly outside.
"Miss, madam and master are asking you to go have breakfast." Ning Zhiyan pretended to be asleep, anyway she had locked the door when she returned to her room last night.
Waiting for her to slowly walk down the stairs with a big backpack on her back, Huang Guoxing came forward to greet her.
"Uncle Xing, I need to go back to school for a while. The student union still has some unfinished work that needs to be taken care of. It'll probably take around 10-8 days. If my parents come home, please let them know."
Ning Zhiyun was the former student union president, and the handover of work had actually been done before graduation. But based on her experience, if Uncle Xing knew where she really went, he would definitely arrange for a few bodyguards to follow her.
"Miss, wait a minute, I'll arrange a driver for you right away!"
Ning Zhiyun got into the driver's car and entered L University, sending the driver back home. She returned to her dormitory to pick up some things and, still carrying a large backpack, hailed a taxi in the campus and got off at the parking lot where she had left her car.
Ning Zhiyun drove her own car into the extraordinary parking lot and parked it before walking in. The man sitting at the card table on the left gave her a brilliant smile.
"Brother Fan, what a coincidence!"
Ning Zhiyun had originally taken a week's leave to accompany Ning Xiyu, but now that her brother was gone, she didn't want to stay at home and face her parents either. So she made a phone call to the store manager of this branch and said she would come to perform this afternoon.
"Xiao Yun, come and keep me company for a cup of coffee." The smiling man said, standing up, regardless of whether she was willing or not, he pulled her over and pressed her into the seat.
Ning Zhiyun raised his eyes, which had narrowed into a line, and saw that in the few days they hadn't met, he seemed to be smiling even more dazzlingly.
"Brother Fan, I don't need to drink juice today?" Ning Zhiyun smiled slyly and stretched out his hand to pour himself a cup of coffee without hesitation.
The waiter brought a glass of juice in time, and the man pressed the coffee pot with one hand and pushed the juice to Ning Zhiyun's face.
"Xiao Yun, don't forget what your brother does for a living. I'd rather not die from his stray bullets." Qu Chufan found the best excuse for himself.
An intelligent man's devotion is never obvious, because if it is too obvious, she will mostly choose to refuse and escape.
Ning Zhiyun despised his cowardly behavior of changing color whenever he mentioned his older brother, and she didn't particularly like drinking coffee either. So she just gave him a disdainful look with her eyes and then lowered her head to sip the fruit juice in her cup.
Qu Chu Fan's gaze never left, the smile in his eyes slowly disappeared, and he reached out to brush away Ning Zhi Yun's hair that was half covering her face.
"Xiao Yun, why are you wearing makeup today?" If he wasn't mistaken, she had always been bare-faced.
"Oh, it's nothing. Didn't you go to the beach with your brother yesterday? You didn't put on enough sunscreen and got sunburned! Without makeup, you look like a ghost and will scare away your customers." Ning Zhiyan stuck out his tongue and made a silly face, not looking like he was lying at all.
Qu Chu Fan stared at her face with a strange expression, remained silent for a while, and finally did not ask further, picked up the cup, elegantly took a sip of coffee, and slowly asked.
"Xiao Yun, how about what I told you last time? Have you considered it?"
