Chen Guo, who was shopping for New Year's goods, didn't change her unrestrained personality. She bought traditional and trendy items, decorative items, edible items, useful items, and useless items. As long as she liked something, she wouldn't haggle and would immediately pay for it. Then, she would point at Ye Xiu. The shop owners were all smiles as they said "Happy New Year," "Good luck," and other blessings before stuffing bags of various sizes into Ye Xiu's hands.
Chen Guo put her hands behind her back and walked in front with her head held high. When she thought about how Ye Xiu was panting behind her, she was certain that this new book was very substantial.
"This, this, and this. How much are you selling them, Boss?" Chen Guo decided to be more substantial. When she arrived at another stall, she didn't even see clearly what was being sold. She pointed at a few items that she found pleasing to the eye and asked about them. As she asked, she glanced behind her proudly.
In the end... there was nothing! Ye Xiu, who was supposed to be following behind her, was nowhere to be seen. When she was paying for the goods, Chen Guo clearly remembered that Ye Xiu was following behind her.
Tomorrow was New Year's Eve. There weren't many people buying New Year's goods on a large scale until today, but it wasn't a small number either. Chen Guo tried her best to stand on her tiptoes to take a look, but she couldn't find any trace of Ye Xiu. She had no choice but to ignore the items she had just asked for and return the way she came to look for them.
In the end, she choked on her anger after taking a few steps. Ye Xiu was sitting next to the stall where they had bought New Year's goods. He had borrowed a small folding stool from somewhere and was sitting on it leisurely smoking a cigarette. He had piled up the newly purchased items to one side. It looked like he was setting up a small stall.
Ye Xiu had good eyesight. He quickly spotted Chen Guo and waved at her enthusiastically.
Chen Guo rushed over with a dark expression, but she didn't know what to say. Looking at the pile on the ground, Chen Guo realized that there were indeed a lot of things. It was indeed inhumane to say that he was not allowed to rest.
"Is this enough?" Ye Xiu said modestly. These things were more than enough to last five Chinese New Years. Just the couplets alone, Chen Guo liked this one and that one. In the end, she bought a total of seven couplets. Ye Xiu did some calculations. The door of Happy Internet Cafe, the door of the bathroom, the door of the suite where he, Chen Guo, and Tang Rou lived in, the door of the two bedrooms inside, the door of his small storage room, and the door of the bathroom. It would be just right if he pasted one on all of them. He just didn't know if this was how Chen Guo calculated it …
"You can't lift it?" Chen Guo asked.
"Of course." Ye Xiu was not Tang Rou. As expected, he would admit it. He would not insist.
"Okay, let's go back!" Chen Guo said as she bent down to pick up some things.
"We should have left a long time ago." Ye Xiu let out a long breath. He picked up the rest of the things, finished shopping, and went back home.
When they returned to Happy Internet Cafe, the two of them were sweating profusely in the middle of winter. Chen Guo quickly found the nearest seat and sat down to catch her breath. When she turned around, Ye Xiu had also thrown down his things and disappeared.
"Where did he go?" Chen Guo was muttering when she heard a sound behind her. She turned around and saw that someone had entered the Internet Cafe. The sun was shining outside, so Chen Guo did not see the person clearly. She just thought that it was a customer and quickly got up to welcome him. However, when she stood up and saw clearly, she was stunned and blurted out, "What are you doing?"
The person who came in was Ye Xiu. However, he was wearing a suit and leather shoes. He had a woolen coat draped over his bent arm. He looked so suave that it was a little dazzling. When he heard Chen Guo speak, he was also stunned. However, he quickly put on a polite smile and said, "Excuse me, is Ye Xiu here? Or should I say, is this Ye Qiu?"
Chen Guo was astonished.
When she saw Ye Xiu appear in this disguise, her first instinct was that she had mistaken him for someone else. However, when this person said that, Chen Guo suddenly realized that she had really mistaken him for someone else.
Without a doubt, this person looked extremely similar to Ye Xiu. They were practically identical. However, their mannerisms and auras were very similar. More importantly, there were some differences in their hairstyles and physiques.
She could believe that Ye Xiu had sneaked out to change his disguise and gave her a fright. However, it was definitely impossible for him to get a haircut in such a short time.
"You are …" Chen Guo felt that there was no need to ask this question. How could two people who looked almost the same be different?
"I'm his younger brother." The person introduced himself.
"Twins?" Chen Guo asked.
"Yes. May I ask who you are? "
"Oh, I'm the owner of this Internet Cafe. Ye Xiu is indeed here," Chen Guo said. "He was here just now, but now … Ye Xiu!!" Chen Guo shouted.
"Bathroom!!" The same loud reply.
"Oh, he's over there …" Chen Guo pointed in the direction of the bathroom.
"I'll wait for him." The person nodded.
"Sit anywhere." Chen Guo also nodded.
The person walked a few steps and then casually asked: "So you're saying that he's using the name Ye Xiu here?"
"Yes!" Chen Guo said as she walked over to the beverage cabinet. She opened the door and showed it to the person, "What do you want to drink?"
"Fanta, Apple. Thank you."
Chen Guo took a bottle of Fanta and threw it over. She also casually grabbed a bottle and opened it while asking, "What's your name?"
The person on the other side was startled by Chen Guo's action of throwing a drink at him. He caught it with great difficulty and was still savoring the taste. When he heard Chen Guo's question, he quickly came back to his senses and replied, "My name is Ye Qiu."
"Oh?" Chen Guo was startled, "You're Ye Qiu?"
"I've always been …"
"Then he borrowed your name?" Chen Guo asked.
"Yes, he also used my ID."
Chen Guo was a little stunned. The topic was temporarily interrupted when she heard the faint sound of flushing from the bathroom. Then it was time for the door to open. Ye Xiu walked over slowly. When he saw Ye Qiu standing a few steps away from the door, he immediately exclaimed, "Eh?"
"He's looking for you," Chen Guo said.
"Obviously." Ye Xiu nodded.
When the two of them appeared together, Chen Guo could tell them apart. Indeed, the two of them could be said to be carved from the same mold. But other than that, there was no other similarity.
One of them was dressed very tastefully, while the other was wearing a jacket that he had been wearing repeatedly for the past two months. As for whether he had showered or not, Chen Guo really didn't notice because of their different routines.
On one side, she was meticulously groomed, while on the other side, she had only gone out to buy some New Year goods, but she already looked travel-worn.
Then she looked at the other side's posture. He was as straight as a javelin. Even the curve of his arm looked very tasteful. As for the other side … Chen Guo couldn't bear to look at him. This guy didn't seem to have put on his pants properly when he came out. As he walked over, he lowered his head and bent over to pat his pants.
"Why are you here?" Chen Guo saw Ye Xiu staggering over and greeting his completely different younger brother.
"I'm here to pick you up for the New Year."
"Who said I was going back?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Why aren't you going back?"
"I have to work overtime!" Ye Xiu said.
Chen Guo immediately noticed another extremely different thing between the two of them: their tone of voice.
The most infuriating thing about Ye Xiu's tone was that it was matter-of-fact and self-righteous. Although Chen Guo admitted that most of the time, what he said was right and that it should be like this, this kind of tone still made people want to step on him. On the other hand, this younger brother of his was very particular when he spoke. He had a sense of propriety, politeness, and restraint. It was impossible to find anything uncomfortable about him. No matter who it was, it wouldn't be unpleasant to chat with such a person.
"Have you introduced her? This is my boss. "Ye Xiu introduced Chen Guo to Ye Qiu." She's the one who arranged for me to work overtime. "
"Really?" Ye Qiu looked at Chen Guo with a puzzled expression.
"He applied on his own accord. I approved it." Chen Guo decisively refused to take the blame.
Ye Qiu's gaze immediately returned to Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu revealed a helpless expression. "I'm not going home. It's the same as every year. Why are you asking why?"
"It's different. Aren't you retiring this year? Then why are you still floating around outside? "Ye Qiu said.
Chen Guo's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered her and Tang Rou's guess that night. Was Ye Xiu's retirement really because his family was pressuring him from behind the scenes? As soon as he retired, his family immediately wanted him to go back.
"Retirement doesn't mean anything. You're an outsider, so you won't understand," Ye Xiu said.
"Retirement … Even if you come back, it'll take at least a year, right?" Ye Qiu said.
"Oh, you know about this too?"
"You don't have anything to do this year, right? Why don't you go home and rest? "Ye Qiu said.
"I can rest anywhere," Ye Xiu said.
"Actually, Dad's health hasn't been good recently …"
"It's an old joke …"
"Fine! Actually, it's Mom … "
"Keep making it up!"
"Little Dot is dead!"
"It's about time. He's lived long enough!" Ye Xiu said coldly.
Chen Guo couldn't bear to listen any longer. However, she still felt that she had to get to the bottom of this. "Who's Little Dot?"
"A dog," Ye Xiu said.
"…" Chen Guo suddenly realized that biological brothers were indeed biological brothers. Twins were indeed twins. These two people seemed to have some similarities in some areas. As for the specifics, they still needed to be observed further. Chen Guo thought about it and took two steps back. She sat down in the seat behind her, took two sips of her drink, and entered a serious mode of watching the show.
"Should I record it?" Chen Guo touched the phone in her pocket and even thought about it.
"You really should go back," Ye Qiu continued to persuade him.
"Heh …" Ye Xiu chuckled. "If I go back, you'll be able to escape, right?"
The real Ye Qiu, who had maintained his poise even from the bend of his arm, seemed to be really affected by this. Chen Guo saw him suddenly stride over to Ye Xiu and reach out his hands to grab Ye Xiu by the collar.
Chen Guo was so shocked that she had already straightened up. Following that, she heard Ye Qiu say angrily, "You bastard of an older brother! Back then, you stole my carefully prepared luggage to escape. You've gone too far! "
"It should be said that I discovered my younger brother's childish attempt to run away from home, so I set an example and taught him," Ye Xiu said. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
