161 She had always been very smart

Jiang Rui wanted to get out of bed, but she couldn’t move no matter how hard she tried. In the end, she could only give up.

she didn’t wake him up, mainly because she thought that jiang cheng hadn’t had a good rest during this period of time. she was afraid of waking him up, so she made less noise.

Unable to get up, Jiang Rui simply closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

however, after a night’s sleep, he woke up and remembered that she was not his biological daughter, so he could not fall asleep.

she didn’t fall asleep, but kept her eyes closed.

He thought about the past, the present, and the future.

The past was beautiful, and the present was set in stone. the future was unknown, but she could roughly guess it.

It was still the same saying. Everything was different.

as soon as she thought about how she would no longer be as close to her brother as before, her eyes would feel sore.

as she thought of this, there was a moment when she actually wanted to escape.

He had to run away from the facts that he had to face.

that was why she didn’t open her eyes when she realized that the person behind her had woken up.

Her back was still facing him.

“rui ‘er?” He called her in a low voice.

She did not respond.

Instead, her throat felt even more uncomfortable when she heard his voice.

The person behind her didn’t make a sound. Her hand slid down to hold her hand, and she leaned closer to her and hugged her tighter.

He maintained this position for a few minutes before he got up gently.

As if he was afraid of waking her up, he got out of bed from the other side gently.

When he got off the bed, he did not forget to cover her with the blanket.

he seemed to have stood by the bed for a few more minutes. he was probably standing there to look at her, but jiang rui’s back was facing him, so he couldn’t see the exact situation.

a few minutes later, he closed the door and left the room.

only then did jiang rui open her eyes. after sleeping on her side for so long, she finally turned over and lay flat.

the curtains were not drawn tightly, and she could vaguely see that the sky outside was about to darken.

a few minutes later, the person who had left the room returned.

Jiang Rui wanted to open her eyes and get out of bed when she heard the noise, but she found that her throat was very dry, her nose was very sore, and her eyes were very sore.

it was as if she was about to cry in the next second.

She didn’t want to cry anymore, especially not in front of Jiang Cheng and making him worry. She clenched her hands under the blanket and wanted to slowly wait for the soreness to subside before opening her eyes.

it was during this moment of hesitation that the person who returned to the room came to the bedside.

He walked closer with light steps.

He stood still by the bed and leaned forward slightly, very close to her.

“rui ‘er,” he called her.

His voice was very soft.

When Jiang Rui heard him call her with his familiar gentle tone, her nose sniffled even more.

She couldn’t keep running away. Her heart calmed down and she prepared to open her eyes to face it.

as soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of eyes with unknown emotions. jiang rui was slightly stunned.

they looked at each other for a few seconds, and the person who was a few centimeters away from her lips slowly moved in another direction and kissed her on the face. ” ” jiang rui ‘er, since you’re awake, get up. i’ll take you to dinner. ”

Jiang Rui didn’t react for a moment.

He was Yingluo just now.

It couldn’t be, she was probably thinking too much!

No matter how deep their friendship was, and no matter how much she couldn’t accept him sharing his good feelings with others, they were still just brother and sister. She was just more selfish and possessive!

But no matter what, a sibling’s friendship was a sibling’s friendship, nothing else!

but he also said that he knew nine years ago that she wasn’t his biological yingluo.

“jiang rui ‘er, what are you doing? I’ve had a bowl of noodles since this morning and I’m very hungry.”

Jiang Rui came back to her senses, but she still stared at him.

There was a daze in his eyes, as well as a little helplessness and panic.

Jiang Cheng simply reached out and pulled her up. ” get up and change your clothes. i’ll take you to dinner. go wash your face first, i’ll help you get your clothes. ”

after pulling her up, jiang cheng turned around to get her clothes from the closet.

he had helped her carry her clothes many times over the years. since he wanted to get a change of clothes, he would definitely help her get the entire set, including her undergarments.

Jiang Rui suddenly woke up and quickly got out of bed.”I, I’ll get it myself. Brother, wait for me outside, I’ll be done soon!”

She suddenly suspected that she had a screw loose in her head in the past. She had never felt that there was anything wrong with this!

in fact, it was not without reason that jiang rui had never felt that it was inappropriate.

they had grown up together and were extremely close.

Jiang Cheng was in charge of all of Jiang Rui’s things, which naturally included the purchase of her clothes at every stage. Jiang Cheng helped her purchase almost all her clothes from inside to outside.

jiang cheng was also the one taking care of jiang rui during her first period. after that, jiang cheng would be by her side every time she was on her period.

After being so close to each other, helping to carry the clothes seemed very normal.

jiang cheng’s back was to her, and he clenched his fist lightly, saying, ” “alright, i’ll wait for you outside.”

she was smart and didn’t notice it before because they were always close. moreover, as far as she knew, they were biological siblings, so she wouldn’t think too much about other things.

Now that she was clear about her background and knew that he had long found out that she was not his biological sister, it would not take long for her to react and guess his thoughts.

he just didn’t expect it to be so fast.

It was also because he had almost kissed her just now that she had noticed.

however, this was also good. this was not an ordinary matter for her, and it could also divert her attention so that she would not be so focused on her birth.

In this way, the fact that he was not her biological son would not be as big a blow to her.

when jiang rui finished washing up and changing her clothes with mixed feelings, it was already 20 minutes later.

jiang cheng didn’t sit in the living room to wait for her. he just leaned against the wall and stood by the door.

as soon as jiang rui left the room, she met his complicated gaze.

She subconsciously avoided his gaze and asked,”brother, didn’t you say we were going to eat?” let’s go.”

She took her phone and went out first. The people behind her hesitated for a few seconds and followed.

he closed the door and entered the elevator.

The two of them did not speak.

the elevator reached the first floor and he walked out.

Jiang Rui’s hand was held.

she had a big reaction and directly shook off jiang cheng’s hand.

“Brother, I’m Yingying!”

however, he had already retracted his hand and put it into his pocket. his voice was emotionless as he said, ” “Let’s go,” he said. Then, he walked out of the apartment building.

looking at his back and thinking of the hurt that flashed across his eyes when she shook off his hand just now, jiang rui’s heart felt terrible.

she bit her lip and followed him.

neither of them spoke until they sat down at a restaurant near the neighborhood.

jiang xi ordered.

they had lived together for many years and had eaten together countless times. jiang cheng knew jiang rui’s taste like the back of his hand. he basically ordered all the dishes that jiang rui liked. seeing all this, jiang rui’s heart seemed to be blocked by something, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

when the dishes were served, jiang cheng put food in her bowl as usual. ” “Let’s eat.”

Jiang Rui looked at the food he put in her bowl and looked at him hesitantly. “GE! GE! GE!”

“let’s eat, i’m a little hungry,” he interrupted.

as he spoke, he began to eat. his movements were elegant and not rough at all. he looked no different from usual.

however, he just looked the same as usual.

When they came out of the restaurant after dinner, Jiang Cheng’s driver had already driven the car to the side of the road and was waiting.
