Chapter 239
Chapter 239
"When I was a child, I had a good relationship with her. Because we often didn't know each other's seniority, she always called me sister directly. But this was all in the past."
At the age of school, the relationship between us gradually became alienated because of what happened between adults...
I withdrew my hand from her grasp and said softly, "Jiayi, why are you here?"
Feeling my coldness, Ning Jiayi put away her excited expression and stood aside obediently, lowering her head like a bullied little wife. "Sister, I'm going to work here."
"Work?" I looked at her. "Where are you going to work?"
"I just applied for an internet company here last month, and I heard that it was one of the best. At first, my mother didn't want me to come here and said that she was worried that I would be here alone, but I..." Speaking of this, she stopped and carefully looked at me.
I can guess what you're going to say next even if you don't say it out loud.
But I could guess, but I didn't want her to help me. "The New Year is coming. Even if I have to go to work, I should wait for next year."
"But the company asked for an internship now, so that we can be sure if we will be accepted next year," Ning Jiayi explained anxiously.
It sounded reasonable, but no matter how I listened, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
Ning Jiayi looked at me and said worriedly, "Sister, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. When we were little, we often played house together. I know you're very sad about my aunt's death,
but now I'm with you."
At the end of her words, a smile appeared on Jiayi's face, as if she really did it for my own good.
If they had said that to me when I first divorced, I would have been very moved. Unfortunately, it was too late to say that. I
was not the previous Chelsea, and Ning Jiayi was not the former Ning Jiayi.
"There’s no need. Once a person gets used to a life, he won't miss living in a community." I refused.
Ning Jiayi didn't expect that she would refuse. She looked surprised and said, "This is not a group life. Sister, you're not the only one at home. It's good to have me with you."
"But I don't like this kind of company." I refused again.
"But... but..."
But after a long time, Ning Jiayi still couldn't come up with a reason. She stood where she was and didn't know what to do.
After all, they were sisters who grew up together. Even though I was very reluctant, when I saw Ning Jiayi standing in front of me like a child, my heart also softened.
With a silent sigh, I said softly, "Follow me."
She followed me into the room when I opened the door. I took her suitcase and said, "Put these things in my room, you..."
"This house is so big, don't you have a single room for me?" Ning Jiayi interrupted me.
For a moment, I regretted bringing Ning Jiayi into my house. I felt that she would not leave so easily, but I soon forgot this idea. The house would be demolished soon. Even if she really stayed, it would be meaningless.
Thinking of this, my uneasy heart was relieved again.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Ning Jiayi asked in a low voice, "Sister, did I disturb you here?"
"Will you leave once I say that I've disturbed you?" I asked.
"I..." Ning Jiayi couldn't say a word.
All of a sudden, I felt like I had become a bad guy on TV. I bullied the little girl here and wanted to bend down to put my luggage into the room, but I forgot that I was injured. It was so painful that I took a deep breath. But Ning Jiayi, who was in front of me, stood still as if she didn't hear anything.
This act irritated me. I sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "The luggage is here. You can live in the living room in the future."
"What?" Ning Jiayi exclaimed, "Why do you want to live in the living room? This house is so big, why do you want me to live in the living room?"
"I fell down from upstairs yesterday. You didn't want me to sleep on the sofa, did you?" I slowly lay down on the bed and found a comfortable position, trying not to touch the painful part of my body. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
"But I haven't slept on the sofa. This house is so big. There should be other rooms, right?" Ning Jiayi said discontentedly.
It was normal that she didn't want to live in the living room. She was the apple of the eye of her uncle's family and had never suffered since she was a child.
However, she didn't suffer, but it didn't mean that she had to suffer.
Pointing to the room where my mother used to live, I said, "That's where your aunt used to live. If you're willing, you can also live there."
Ning Jiayi looked at it and wanted to say something, but she didn’t say it in the end.
She turned around and wanted to go and have a look.
Before she walked over, I said, "But I've packed up all the things in the room. It's empty for you to go there now. If you want to sleep, you have to sleep on the ground."
"I just want to see if Ning Jiayi will go in after hearing this."
As I expected, as soon as she heard that they were going to sleep on the ground, Ning Jiayi stopped without hesitation and walked quickly to me. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Sister, let me sleep in one room with you. We slept together when we were little. I promise that I won't disturb you at night!"
Speaking of this, Ning Jiayi also stretched out three fingers and swore to the sky. The tearful look in her eyes made people feel distressed.
"It's a pity that even if it hurts, it should be a man’s heartache. What does a woman like me want?" I slowly closed my eyes and said lightly, "When I was a child, I slept with you. Every time I was kicked out of bed by you.
Have you forgotten all these?"
"It's all in the past. I can't do it now!"
Hearing Ning Jiayi's promise, I put away the smile on my face and said wearily, "Ning Jiayi, why did you come to see me? I'm afraid it's not as simple as coming here to work."
"But I won't ask you. I'll know when the time comes. If you want to live here, you can only sleep in the living room. Otherwise, you can go out of my house immediately."
My tone was flat all the time, as if I was talking to someone about homely affairs.
A few months ago, I called my aunt. On the phone, she said that Ning Jiayi would come to me. At that time, I refused. After that, we never contacted each other again. I almost forgot about it.
But when the matter of the house had just been solved, Ning Jiayi happened to appear. It was hard for me not to doubt it at this time.
Even though I said that, Ning Jiayi still didn't leave. She resigned herself to her fate and put the quilt on the sofa. She didn't talk to me enthusiastically anymore, and I just didn't want to be perfunctory with her.
In the evening, we ate takeout. Originally, we didn't want to care about Ning Jiayi, but after thinking about it, I was the only one who left home. It was a little unkind for us to ignore her.
