"Is something wrong?" A voice sounded from behind Ye Ke, startling Ye Ke.
"Why are you here?" Ye Ke's pupils suddenly dilated. He looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Let's eat." Ye An said matter-of-factly. "What are you doing sneaking around at the door of my room? Do you want to avenge your sister?"
Seeing Ye An's appraising gaze, the tips of Ye Ke's ears turned red.
"I'm sorry." He said softly, his tone vague.
"What?" Ye An frowned and didn't hear clearly.
Ye Ke gritted his teeth and bowed ninety degrees to Ye An with a brave expression.
"I said! I'm sorry! I blame you for not understanding what happened. I'm sorry."
Ye An looked at him and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Seeing Ye Ke raise his head, he immediately said "oh" pretending to be cold.
"Ye Qingning is awake?" she asked pretending to be casual.
"Well, sister said it was thanks to you this time, so she asked me to come over and apologize to you."
Ye An curled his lips and glanced at Ye Qingning's door inadvertently. "Okay, do you have anything else?"
"No more." Ye Ke was unusually well-behaved at the moment.
"Then borrow it, I want to go back to the room."
"Oh." Ye Ke then realized that he was blocking the door of the room, and immediately took a big step to the left. He breathed a sigh of relief when Ye An entered the room. When he was about to go to Ye Qingning's room to clarify, Ye Shaohua also left. He came out and quietly closed the door to the room.
"Your sister is sleeping, don't disturb her." Ye Shaohua lowered his voice, Ye Ke nodded, and returned to the room after confirming with Ye Shaohua that Ye Qingning was fine.
After going downstairs, Ye Shaohua dialed a number, said a few words, then hung up, and then dialed another number.
"Director Ye, why are you calling so late?" A voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I want to ask you, Principal Zhang, what are you going to give me when my daughter is bullied at school?"
A conversation that no one knows about.
It was late at night, and there was a "click" sound from the entrance, and a figure flashed past in the moonlight. He walked up the steps step by step, and the originally dark corridor revealed a glimmer of light as the door opened.
"Brother?" Ye Qingning was startled.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Ye Qi's voice was low and magnetic, very nice to hear.
"No water, I'm thirsty."
Ye Qi touched her forehead and took the water glass. "Go back and lie down, the fever hasn't gone away yet."
"Did dad tell you that?"
"Yes, I already know the whole story. What happened this time..."
"I'm sorry, brother, for causing you trouble." Before Ye Qi finished speaking, Ye Qingning had already bent down to apologize. She pursed her lips and lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Qi.
"If you didn't call me back, you'd be sorry for me. I don't make money just to make my brothers and sisters angry. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either." Ye Qi said, paused, and covered her head with his big hand.
"Look up, you did it right!" Ye Qi rubbed her head with a gentle tone.
"Thank you, brother." Ye Qingning hugged Ye Qi with a muffled voice.
Ye Qi patted her head and said, "Okay, go back and lie down, and I'll get you some water."
Ye Qingning nodded, closed the door and lay back. Ye Qi took the water glass and turned around to go downstairs, but the door of another room opened. Ye An must have heard something in the room and opened the door to take a look.
"Ye An." Ye Qi said affirmatively. Seeing Ye An's eyes full of defensiveness, he added: "I am your eldest brother, Ye Qi."
"oh."
"I just came back from a business trip abroad before the recognition party. This is a gift for you." Ye Qi said, taking out a box from his pocket and handing it to Ye An.
"Thank you... thank you." Ye An, who originally thought that Ye Qi wanted to warn him like Ye Ke, didn't react for a moment and accepted the gift mechanically.
"I also know some recent things. Take your time and don't be too anxious. If you need anything, please contact me." He took out another business card and handed it to her.
The two didn't talk much. Ye An closed the door and sat in front of the desk, with his legs on the desk and the chair rocking slightly. She opened the box and inside was a bracelet decorated with some diamonds that shone in the light.
The next second, she put the bracelet and the business card into the cabinet. There was another box next to it.
On the other side, after receiving the response, Ye Qi walked into Ye Qingning's room with a water glass.
"Still uncomfortable?"
Ye Qingning took the water glass and took two sips, "I'm still a little dizzy."
"I've wronged you these days, have a good sleep, don't worry about other things, brother will take care of it." Ye Qi covered Ye Qingning with a quilt, not forgetting to tuck the corners of the quilt.
At dawn, Ye Qingning walked out of the room after washing up, and happened to bump into Ye An. She was carrying her schoolbag and it looked like she had finished eating and was getting ready for school.
"Morning." Ye Qingning took the lead in saying hello.
"Yeah." Ye An looked a little strange and said before going downstairs.
"Um, I have something to ask of you."
Ye An stopped and looked at Ye Qingning suspiciously.
"Today is Ke Ke's parent-teacher meeting. In order to facilitate contact, Ke Ke always filled in my mobile phone number first. The rest of the family is busy, so I usually attend it, but as you can see, I still have a little trouble. I have a low fever and I don’t have much strength. Could you please go there?”
Seeing Ye An frown, Ye Qingning continued to speak.
"You are a child of the Ye family and Ye Ke's sister. It's natural for you to go. If you really don't want to, then I can go. I'm just afraid that you won't be so lucky this time and can be carried back in the car."
Ye Qingning pretended to be disappointed and turned around to go back to the room.
"Okay, I understand, send me the address and details." Ye An's tone was a little impatient, but Ye Qingning didn't care at all.
"Okay, but I don't have your contact information yet, please add me." When Ye An lowered his head to scan the code, Ye Qingning curled his lower lip.
I didn't expect her to be quite cute. Ye Qingning thought so.
Ye An finally came back to his senses when there was a "beep" sound. Looking at the verification message on the chat interface, Ye An always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"I've also hired you for your leave, and I'll leave the rest to you. You should be able to catch up now." Ye Qingning had a smile on his lips, and his eyes were curved, making him look very soft, but a little white. The color of her lips made her look a little weak.
"Oh." Ye An pretended to be cold and looked as usual.
After Ye An left the door, Ye Qingning sat at the dining table to eat. Maybe he was sick and had no appetite. There was half a small bowl of porridge left, so Ye Qingning couldn't eat it anymore. She stood up and was about to clean up, but a warm and generous hand suddenly covered her forehead.
"Brother?" Ye Qingning was startled.
"No appetite?" Ye Qi gently rubbed her head, poured a glass of water and placed it in front of her.
"Kind of."
"Then don't eat. I still have a slight fever. Take the medicine and then go to sleep."
"Okay." Ye Qingning nodded and saw Ye Qi taking out her medicine from nowhere.
"There was no one in your room just now, so I put the gift on your desk. After eating, go and see if you like it." Looking at Ye Qingning's expression of bitterness and hatred, Ye Qi said casually.
"Thank you, brother." Upon hearing this, Ye Qingning frowned and swallowed the medicine, hugged Ye Qi from behind and ran upstairs.
"If you feel uncomfortable, stop jumping around. You may fall down later." Ye Qi was worried and followed her.
Ye Qingning entered the room and walked to the desk. Looking at the exquisite shell in front of her, there was a hint of disbelief in Ye Qingning's eyes.
She turned her head and looked at Ye Qi, eager for an answer, but Ye Qi just nodded slightly, letting her explore the truth on her own.
Ye Qingning pursed her lips, and there was a rare nervousness on her face.
With a 'click', the lock opens. Ye Qingning slowly opened it, and lying inside was the out-of-print violin that she had longed for. It was the violin that her favorite violinist loved most during his lifetime.
She picked it up carefully, for fear of bumping it.
"Brother, how did you get this?"
"There are some channels." Ye Qi said vaguely, not mentioning the contribution of a man abroad. Ye Qingning was immersed in joy and couldn't care about anything else at the moment. All she could see was the violin in her hand, which she regarded as a treasure.
The brother and sister enjoyed a rare leisure time, but Ye An was not so comfortable here.
She went to the address given by Ye Qingning. She was also dressed in school uniform, but she seemed a little out of place in junior high school.
