I saw them coming, put down the magazine and walked over. But a few steps away, Shen Yiqiu clearly saw his face, his expression changed from indifference to a smile, obviously very happy to see them appear.

Shen Yiqiu thought gloomily, maybe she was just happy to see her sister, and smiled at her by the way.

The first sentence when I approached the little one was: "I told the chef about your favorite dish last night, and it will be available tonight."

Shen Yiqiu's heart sank a little bit, and sure enough, they had dinner together last night.

She was thinking wildly, staring at the carpet in a daze, completely ignoring the eyes that indicated to her.

Younger had to call her: "Classmate Shen, why are you ignoring people?"

The light complaint is actually a foreshadowing of indifferent tolerance. Anyone who listens to it knows that Minor is not angry because of it, just looking for a topic.

"Hello."

Shen Yiqiu's restraint was more obvious than the last time they met, and she glanced at her suspiciously. Qin Qianrou turned her back to her, and didn't realize until now that something was wrong.

At least he knew that his pestle here would definitely hinder their communication, so he slipped away under the pretext of going to the kitchen to have a look. Seeing that Shen Yiqiu kept her eyes down, Qin Qianrou seemed to be only interested in carpets, and was a little puzzled.

"You don't like it here?"

Shen Yiqiu nodded: "No, it's so beautiful and luxurious, how can you not like it."

It's all objective factors, and I don't mention my feelings at all.

Qin Qianrou frowned slightly, and asked again, "Is it unhappy to see less?"

Shen Yiqiu suddenly grabbed the edge of her trousers with her hand hanging by her side, her eyes wandering, she didn't know how to answer this question.

"It's okay, he's just joking. If you don't like his way, I'll tell him and let him pay more attention in the future."

Qin Qianrou's words not only failed to comfort Shen Yiqiu, but instead filled her heart with a faint acid.

Pay more attention in the future, does that mean that there will be less rules in their lives in the future?

Oh no. It is the life of my sister and the young ruler, and she exists. So she is the redundant one.

Shen Yiqiu's heart was a little more sour, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it your sister's family?"

Qin Qianrou nodded without hesitation: "Yes, he is a family member. But it's almost not."

Thinking of the time when he was kicked out of the house by his uncle, even Shao Zewen didn't allow him to bark, showing how embarrassed he was. Everyone thought that my uncle was going to cut off the relationship between father and son, not to mention that other people were not allowed to maintain contact with Xiaozu.

Shen Yiqiu probably understood after hearing it, which was similar to what she had guessed. Now it seems that the relationship between my sister and Shaoze should be confirmed, so it is a family.

The nose was suddenly sore and painful, and the fingertips had already lost consciousness because of too much force, and instinctively continued to grasp the edge of the pants. However, this still couldn't relieve Shen Yiqiu's discomfort, she could feel the long-brewed tears about to fall.

Wen Yirong's voice came from behind, Qin Qianrou was about to speak when Shen Yiqiu suddenly asked, "Where is the bathroom?"

She spoke so eagerly that it seemed she couldn't wait any longer. Qin Qianrou thought she was uncomfortable, so she pointed her in the direction.

Wen Yirong saw the back of Shen Yiqiu hurriedly leaving before she got close.

"What's the matter? Are you in a hurry to go to the toilet before you start eating?"

Qin Qianrou withdrew her gaze and turned to her mother: "Maybe it's just a little uncomfortable temporarily."

"I'm just joking, you don't have to care."

Qin Qianrou looked at her helplessly, she was really nothing like her mother. On the other hand, Minor is more like Wen Yirong. No wonder she likes Minor the most among the juniors.

Wen Yirong reached out and put her hand on her daughter's shoulder. It's been a long time since she's been away from home.

"Look, you've lost weight."

"My weight hasn't changed."

"Tsk, thin is thin. I have hugged you since I was a child, don't you know?"

Qin Qianrou did not argue, relaxed her body, and felt the long-lost maternal love.

In fact, Wen Yirong's concern has always been there, but it is usually thousands of miles away, so the sense of reality is not so strong.

Wen Yirong hugged her daughter and was reluctant to let go, after a while, she sighed even more.

"Xiaorou, are you really not considering going back to Haicheng?"

Since her daughter can come back so frequently during this time, maybe her resistance to Haicheng is not as deep as in the past? Wen Yirong had hope in her heart, the older she got, the more she liked the child in front of her.

"Mom, I don't want to."

Wen Yirong was a little disappointed, but didn't show it. It takes time for my daughter to start to change. She is not in a hurry, just wait.

She changed the subject and pulled Qin Qianrou to sit on the sofa: "Then when are you going back this time?"

"Flight tomorrow afternoon."

"So soon?"

Qin Qianrou subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the bathroom, Shen Yiqiu hadn't come out yet.

She turned around and continued her conversation with her mother.

"The main things in Haicheng this time have been done, and there are still things in Mengcheng."

Wen Yirong nodded her understanding, her daughter is a workaholic, she understood it very early. It's just that the thought of her leaving tomorrow makes her reluctant.

"Then stay here tonight."

Qin Qianrou thought about it and agreed.

Wen Yirong didn't expect her to agree so readily, she was overjoyed, she quickly got up and asked the housekeeper to arrange the room.

What Qin Qianrou thought was that if she lived here, she could have a separate bedroom, so she didn't have to get along with Shen Yiqiu. They will arrive home tomorrow night, and everything will be back to normal again, the distance is just right.

**

Shen Yiqiu looked at herself in the mirror and hated herself for not being able to live up to her expectations, how could she really cry! She thought it was impossible for her to cry because of this trivial matter, but the appearance of Minor made Shen Yiqiu very uncomfortable. She even felt aggrieved and scared that her sister would no longer be hers from now on.

When she thinks about the future, Qin Qianrou may often go out to eat with Minor, maybe she will go shopping, watch movies, or go to other places to play together on weekends. Then, she was alone at home, eating alone. Even if she cooks a table of dishes, only she can appreciate it.

Just imagining it like this, Shen Yiqiu's tears are about to fall again. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, and kept reminding herself in her heart that Shen Yiqiu, you can't delay your sister's happiness because of your own selfishness.

How could someone as good as my sister be alone, let alone stay with her.

Shen Yiqiu finally understood the cruel reality: one day, she would lose Qin Qianrou.

She just doesn't want this day to come so soon, but at least it looks so good. They just stand together, it makes people's eyes bright and pleasing to the eye.

Shen Yiqiu's face was even paler and her eyes were dull. She was very dissatisfied with her performance. When she came to be a guest at someone's house, she hid in the toilet before saying a few words. How rude.

Even if she spends less time with her sister in the future, she must cherish every second now. Her sister Ken took her to a family dinner, and already regarded her as a close person.

Shen Yiqiu stared at the mirror for a long time: "Shen Yiqiu, don't ask for too much."

After adjusting her emotions, Shen Yiqiu adjusted her appearance, and then went out again.

Qin Qianrou didn't go to the door to wait for her, but as soon as she came out, she felt a certain gaze was always there. She looked up and saw Qin Qianrou looking at her.

"Is it better?"

Shen Yiqiu nodded awkwardly and walked over.

"Aren't you feeling well after staying there for a long time?"

"No, maybe just nervous."

Qin Qianrou looked at her, except that her face was not very good, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

But she was still not at ease: "If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, don't force it, okay?"

"Okay."

The two were talking, and Wen Yirong led the housekeeper downstairs.

"Little boy, are you alright?"

Shen Yiqiu followed her reputation and saw Wen Yirong looking at her with a smile, she called out sweetly: "Hello Aunt Wen, I'm so sorry for disturbing you today."

"Why is this kid so polite all of a sudden, I didn't exaggerate like that last time I saw you. Come have a light meal today, don't be too restrained."

"I haven't officially thanked my aunt for the clothes last time, thank you."

Shen Yiqiu was well-behaved and sensible, which made Wen Yirong dare not make a joke. After chatting a few words, I went to work on dinner, and drove the young man back to the living room.

"It's still better for you young people to talk more. My elder is present. I guess you can't let go."

The least one spreads his hands helplessly: "Look at me, I'm always being driven around, it seems that everyone hates me."

Qin Qianrou was too lazy to pay attention, and led Shen Yiqiu to sit on the sofa. Minor followed, still sitting in the single seat before him.

"Qianrou, you are so indifferent and ruthless. You don't comfort me when you see me so pitiful."

"You sell less miserably, so that you can get sympathy for your suffering."

Shen Yiqiu still didn't interrupt much, but he was not as distracted as before. The young man turned to look at her, only to see a small smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had been listening carefully to the conversation between him and Qin Qianrou.

It's just that smile, a little stiff.

The little one was stunned for a moment, and said to Shen Yiqiu: "Is she always like this at home? It's so boring and ruthless, isn't it?"

Shen Yiqiu shook her head instinctively and said, "Sister is pretty good."

When she was at home, Qin Qianrou was not so cold and was really nice to her.

The lesser seems to have been hit again, and he is not very happy: "Qianrou, how can you be so fond of one another. Don't I deserve you to be kind and gentle to me?"

The sadness and dissatisfaction in her tone were very obvious, Shen Yiqiu bit her lip, wondering if she had said something wrong just now.

She glanced at Qin Qianrou quietly, seeing that her sister didn't blame her.

"At least, how old are you? What is there to compare this kind of thing?"

You are about to speak when Qin Qianrou added: "Don't bully her, are you just entertaining guests like this?"

The lesser is to completely die, and obediently lead the order.

However, Shen Yiqiu could only pretend to be happy, but in fact his heart was cold. What my sister said just now is very clear, at least she is the host, and she is the guest.

Intimacy is obvious at once, but Shen Yiqiu will not show any discomfort.

Qin Qianrou's uncle came in a hurry before the table opened, greeted Shen Yiqiu briefly, and sat down together. To Shen Yiqiu's surprise, she was placed next to Qin Qianrou and Wen Yirong on the other.

At least he was sitting on the other side with Qin Qianrou's uncle, and there was an empty seat between them. This arrangement is a bit strange, but being able to sit next to her sister makes Shen Yiqiu reluctant to understand the reason for the strangeness.

In short, the person sitting beside Qin Qianrou tonight is her.

This meal is not restrictive. The elders are just concerned about their current situation and ask about their health, work or study. The caring was just right and not overly stressful.

Until the end of dinner, after the dessert was served, Qin Qianrou's uncle suddenly spoke.

"You are all too young, you can't just focus on work, and personal affairs should also be put on the agenda."

Shen Yiqiu mechanically put the small round child in her mouth, the light wine made her a little dizzy.

Qin Qianrou is still calm: "I don't want to think about this for the time being."

Minor's reaction was much more than Qin Qianrou's. Seeing his excited look, Shen Yiqiu thought he was trying to persuade his sister.

Who knows, he said: "I don't want to get married, I definitely won't get married!"

This time, the expressions of the elders were not very good, especially Qin Qianrou's uncle, who was even more angry.

Because of the presence of Shen Yiqiu, some words cannot be said clearly.

"Do you know what you're talking about? Can't figure it out yet?"

I don't give a single step, and my tone is firm: "It's because I think it clearly, so this is my true heart."

In the past, he was hesitant and indecisive, and he hurt others as well as himself, wasting so many years in vain. This time, if he continues to be muddled, his life will be completely ruined.

Uncle threw the napkin on the table and seemed to have no appetite.

"Okay, since you've figured it out, I won't force you." Then he looked at Qin Qianrou, "Xiaorou, do you condone him like this?"

Shen Yiqiu's heart tightened, he bit the spoon and dared not move, but immediately turned to look at Qin Qianrou.

"Uncle, marriage is a big deal, and it shouldn't be played or forced. Since you have your own ideas, why should I say anything more?"

The implication is that she has no objection.

Wen Yirong said to ease the atmosphere: "It's rare for a family to eat, and this kind of thing doesn't have to be said today. Besides, you're scaring the children too. People come to our house and say these things. what."

Then, she said to Minor: "Minor, you too. If you have ideas, you can communicate well. If you have to contradict your father like this, it's not that you don't know that he is not in good health."

At least, Wen Yirong said that she was speechless, bowed her head and said nothing.

Shen Yiqiu was stunned, Dad...

So, at least he is…

Qin Qianrou noticed Shen Yiqiu's reaction, and then she remembered that she didn't seem to have officially stated her identity.

She leaned over and whispered in Shen Yiqiu's ear, "At least it's my uncle's son, it's my brother."

It turned out to be like this, it was my brother, it was indeed a family.

Pure laughter.

Such a smile infected Qin Qianrou and made her laugh along with her. It seemed that the relationship had been stagnant all night, and it was healed in an instant.

Shen Yiqiu ate a whole bowl of dumplings happily, and when he got up and was about to leave, he realized that he was a little wobbly, and he could not stand still if he was not careful.

Someone around her supported her, and the tone was a bit fierce: "I feel drunk and eat everything, and I don't know how to take care of myself!"

Shen Yiqiu recognized her sister's voice and leaned beside her at ease, not so swaying now.

Since she knew the identity of the young ruler, she has been alive. I wanted to talk to Qin Qianrou when I was full of words, so I was looking forward to finishing it and going back to the hotel early.

However, how did Qin Qianrou bring her upstairs?

"Sister, aren't we going back?"

Shen Yiqiu's little face was flushed, and her eyes were full of ignorance and innocence. She relied on and trusted Qin Qianrou very much, even though she was already confused, she still let Qin Qianrou guide her without any doubt.

Wherever she takes her, she goes.

"We're staying here tonight."

Qin Qianrou followed the housekeeper and sent Shen Yiqiu to the guest room.

Let her sit beside the bed for a while, seeing that she is in stable condition, and then prepare to leave with confidence.

Shen Yiqiu eagerly pulled the corner of her clothes: "Sister, where are you going?"

Qin Qianrou turned around, looked down at the place where she was being held, and said softly, "I live next door."

"Oh."

Shen Yiqiu let go of her hand reluctantly, but her eyes kept looking at her.

She didn't ask Qin Qianrou to stay because there was no reason. But she just wanted to see her, she had been dodging deliberately all night, and now she was panicking.

Qin Qianrou staggered her eyes, said a word to rest early, and turned around quickly.

The sound of the door closing, and the door opening next door rang one after another, and Shen Yiqiu laughed again.

At least it's a brother, not a boyfriend, and my sister is still her sister.

That's great.

Shen Yiqiu fell asleep in a daze, and had a good night's sleep. I woke up naturally at 5:00 in the morning, and found that I fell asleep without washing up last night, and I couldn't stand my sloppiness.

She got up and took a shower. After cleaning up, she found that it was still early, so she went back to bed and took out her mobile phone.

She entered Qin Qianrou's name in the search bar, and she looked down all the relevant news content one by one. The appearance of Minoru made her aware of her faint thoughts, but last night she realized that she still knew very little about her sister.

She wants to know more about Qin Qianrou, to understand her better, and to be closer to her.

Qin Qianrou hardly fell asleep, she was thinking about Shen Yiqiu's performance all night. The change in her mood was so obvious that she had to think more.

Especially, when she knew that Zha Ze was her uncle's son, the bright eyes that instantly brightened Qin Qianrou's heart, and at the same time shocked her.

At that moment, Qin Qianrou felt that Shen Yiqiu was happy. But is it worth the joy to know the identity of the minor?

The child was so dependent on her that he couldn't live without her. If it goes on like this, will Shen Yiqiu follow her all the time?

In fact, Qin Qianrou is not disgusted by such a situation, but she thinks it is wrong, and it is not good for Shen Yiqiu's growth. She must have a life of her own after all, they just met by chance and coexisted briefly.

Thinking of this, Qin Qianrou was actually sad for a while, as if she didn't want to end the status quo too soon. This self-contradictory mentality made her even more annoyed.

Tossing and turning, always restless.

In the afternoon, they returned to Montreal. When he left, he drove to the airport by himself. Shen Yiqiu's attitude towards him had already changed, and he even made a few jokes with him.

This surprised Minor and Qin Qianrou, Minor shook his head and sighed: "Today the sun came out in the west, and classmate Shen actually picked up my message. Tsk tsk, I stayed in the villa for a while. The night is really different, and it's more and more like a family."

Shen Yiqiu's ears were slightly hot when she was said, and she didn't know how to answer. It's absolutely impossible to admit it, but you don't want to deny it.

Qin Qianrou made a timely rescue: "Concentrate on driving."

Although she is older than Qin Qianrou, she seems to listen to her. She said to concentrate on driving, he stopped talking, and the previous silence returned to the car.

Shen Yiqiu's mood has been good since the morning, but Qin Qianrou seems to have no energy. After asking, he said that he didn't sleep well last night, so he didn't say anything else.

Shen Yiqiu loves her dearly, but apart from being concerned, she can only be anxious. She pondered that when she went back, she would adjust the recipe and make some meals to help her sleep, so that when her sister came back from her hard work, she could have a high-quality sleep.

Thinking of this, Shen Yiqiu was even more looking forward to it, wishing that she could immediately put her wings on and fly back to Mengcheng.

The first week back in Montreal was a busy one for both of them. Shen Yiqiu has to make up for the missed classes, while Qin Qianrou has to deal with the accumulated work. Overtime seems to be the norm again.

"Sister, are you going home for dinner tonight?"

When Shen Yiqiu called, Qin Qianrou had just finished the meeting and walked back to the office with Li Wan.

"I have to work overtime tonight."

"Okay, then I'll stay at school and do my homework."

After hanging up, Li Wan gave her a puzzled look.

It wasn't until she entered the office that Li Wan asked, "You're not too tired after an afternoon meeting, are you going to continue working overtime?"

"Have a question?"

"It's okay to work overtime, but I think you have a problem."

Qin Qianrou opened the notes she made at the meeting just now, preparing to revise the previous report.

"What's wrong with me?"

Li Wan looked at her for a long time, until Qin Qianrou had to look at her before she said slowly, "Qianrou, you have been working overtime since you came back from Haicheng."

Qin Qianrou didn't say anything. Isn't this normal for her.

"Who are you hiding from?"

Qin Qianrou froze, and immediately denied: "No one is hiding."

Li Wan's smiling voice came again: "Then why don't you dare to go home, you have to work overtime until late at night."

This week, Qin Qianrou's overtime hours exceeded the record again. Even Lin Shuangzhi sighed with emotion that Qin Qianrou would be able to recharge his batteries on vacation, and he would have more horsepower after returning.

Li Wan looked at her with a half-smile, not urging her, but it meant that she was waiting for her answer. Qin Qianrou wanted to ignore this gaze, but she felt annoyed at being seen through.

"I'm on vacation for so long, and if I don't finish the accumulated work in a hurry, it will affect the progress of other people in the group. I don't want my personal affairs to affect my work. What's wrong with this?"

"No, it's just my guess. Qianrou, you don't need to be so excited."

Li Wan said this, Qin Qianrou realized later that she seemed to be a little too nervous just now.

Is it because she was afraid of being seen through, or because she said the same to herself?

Li Wan put it away when she saw it, got up and straightened her shirt, and said, "Hurry up and finish your get off work. When you can get off work on time, I will go home with you for dinner."

The topic changed too quickly, Qin Qianrou was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"I miss Shen Yiqiu's cooking skills a little. I haven't eaten for a long time, and I'm greedy."

Qin Qianrou was a little unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't say why she refused. There seemed to be no reason not to let Li Wan go back with her, but why did she suddenly feel uncomfortable?

"She didn't learn how to cook for a long time. It's rare that cooking can make you care so much. I'll tell her, and I'll give you more dishes when you go."

Li Wan didn't care much, and said in a familiar tone, "Don't bother, I'll just send her a WeChat message when the time comes."

After speaking, Li Wan walked away.

Qin Qianrou's thoughts drifted away, do they often send WeChat?

**

The late autumn has passed in a blink of an eye, and the night is getting colder. When Qin Qianrou walked out of the TV station after working overtime, she tightened her woolen coat.

Her car was sent for maintenance. She got off work late these days, so she took a taxi back. Only today, as soon as she came out of the TV station, she saw a person not far away, standing there, as if looking towards this side.

She looked over, and the man seemed to leave soon, leaving only Qin Qianrou behind.

She didn't think much, the car she had agreed to arrive. When she got home, there was a lamp in the living room, and there was still a late-night snack on the dining table. After returning from Haicheng, she hadn't come back for dinner for a long time.

After a long time, Shen Yiqiu stopped asking questions, but still kept meals for her every day. I didn't see her coming back after dinner, so I changed it to a late night snack. Every day she came home, no matter how late, there was always a piece of food waiting for her on the table.

Shen Yiqiu seems to be getting nervous recently with her studies. Qin Qianrou doesn't come back for dinner, so she doesn't rush to the supermarket to buy food, and she stays at school longer.

Sometimes Qin Qianrou came home late and found that the lights were still on in Shen Yiqiu's room, probably still studying. She slowed down, trying not to disturb her. When she was ready to go to sleep, she saw that the light in Shen Yiqiu's room was still on.

Why is this child so hard all of a sudden?

Although Qin Qianrou had doubts, they met very little recently, only for more than half an hour in the morning, so it was too late to ask in detail.

**

Shen Yiqiu was indeed studying hard. After she returned from Haicheng, she slowly noticed Qin Qianrou's change. The elder sister is deliberately alienating and pulling the distance from each other, which makes her feel sad,

She thought, did she act too obvious and was discovered by her sister? So she was cautious, not daring to make any further changes. But Qin Qianrou didn't seem to have changed other than going out early and returning late. When we meet every morning, I will also ask her about her daily arrangements or how she is doing. Sister Li Wan has been here twice, and the atmosphere is as usual.

Shen Yiqiu couldn't help but think again, is she sensitive, sister is really just too busy recently? Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling distressed. Thinking that Qin Qianrou went out early every day and returned late, and worked overtime until late at night, she could only eat takeout, so she worked even harder to make something delicious for her.

Even if it's just a late night snack, she always changes her method and tries to make as many different flavors as possible, hoping to make her sister who has been tired from a long day eat something good when she comes back.

Other than that, she dared not make any closer moves. She thought that she was quite satisfied to be able to keep such a distance and maintain such a life.

When my sister is not so busy, they may be able to be the same as before.

Without He Zhuo, Shao Qidong also disappeared temporarily. Shen Yiqiu felt that he could not miss the opportunity, so he cherished the opportunity to study with peace of mind. Compared with the previous life, she was completely messing around, and now she wants to have a better future and future, so the university cannot be abandoned.

My sister is so good, she can't be too bad, otherwise, how can I stay by my sister's side with peace of mind? Unconsciously, Shen Yiqiu took Qin Qianrou as a role model and had a direction to work hard.

She likes a good and outstanding sister, and she wants to become a person as good as her.

Until one day, the counselor told her that someone came to the school to find her, saying it was her relative. Shen Yiqiu suddenly remembered that she had a cousin.

When they met in the counselor's office, they were both surprised.

"My God, Xiaoqiu, you've grown so big all of a sudden!"

Shen Yiqiu stood awkwardly by the door, paused, and then said, "Uncle Biao, you actually have a beard."

The counselor saw that they really knew each other, and Shen Yiqiu called him his cousin, confirming that it was indeed a relative relationship, so he was relieved to let them get along alone, but was not allowed to leave the campus.

Shen Yiqiu led my uncle to the campus, just in time for school at noon, and there were many students coming and going. Seeing that Shen Yiqiu was next to a man who was not too old, but at first glance knew that he was a man outside the school, he couldn't help but glanced a few more times.

Shen Yiqiu didn't have time to take care of this, she didn't get used to the sudden appearance of Uncle Biao.

"Xiaoqiu, I went on an expedition to the sea before and left the land, ignoring the outside world. I didn't hear about He Zhuo until a few days ago, and then I found out that something happened to your family. already."

The uncle, who has always been unrestrained and unrestrained, was completely annoyed and regretful at this time, hating why she was not by Shen Yiqiu's side when she needed it most.

"I'm fine, uncle, don't blame yourself. No one can predict such an accident. Besides, I'm very grateful that you came to me as soon as you came back."

Yuan Qi looked at Shen Yiqiu, he grew taller, and his facial features were more mature and more beautiful than before. But still as kind and lovely as before, and always so sensible.

"Don't worry, uncle Biao won't go anywhere in the future and won't find me again."

"Aren't you going around the world?"

"I won't go for the time being, just settle down in Mengcheng. You can live with me in the future, and I will take care of you."

Shen Yiqiu opened his eyes wide and looked at the man with the beard in front of him, as if he didn't know him at all.

How come my uncle has also changed, and suddenly he is going to settle down.

However, she didn't want to live with him.

The author has something to say: red envelopes are given in this chapter, ah!
