Chapter 181: Chapter 181: [Extra] Mom and Dad Have Had Good Days

Jiang Yurou paused for a moment, then waited outside the door for a while, idly striking up conversation with Zhou Ming’s sister.

"What is your name?"

"Zhou Lezhi."

"That’s a lovely name, I’m Jiang Yurou, you can call me Sister Yurou."

Through the iron gate, Zhou Lezhi sweetly called out, "Sister Yurou."

"So well-behaved."

Jiang Yurou suddenly regretted rushing over without bringing some kind of treat with her.

As they chatted, Jiang Yurou steered the conversation toward Zhou Ming, "Is your brother always so cold?"

Lezhi shook her head, "Not at all, my brother is great, he’s not cold, he loves me very much."

As Jiang Yurou had expected, Zhou Ming was someone who appeared cold but was warm inside, showing his greatest patience and gentleness to his sister.

She then asked more questions, "Was there anything unusual about your brother when he came back just now?"

Zhou Lezhi paused, somewhat surprised, "How did you know, Sister?"

"I guessed," Jiang Yurou smiled slightly and asked, "Then, Lezhi, do you know why your brother was angry?"

"He didn’t say, just mentioned that he hurt a very very good person." Zhou Le replied, defending her brother, "But I believe he didn’t do it on purpose, he said that he will find a chance to apologize to that person later."

Hearing Zhou Lezhi’s words, the remaining anger inside Jiang Yurou vanished instantly, she knew Zhou Ming must have his reasons, otherwise why would he say those things to her suddenly?

"Lezhi... actually, I am the very very good person your brother mentioned." Jiang Yurou sighed.

If the iron gate had been open at that moment, Jiang Yurou would have seen Zhou Lezhi’s eyes, because of surprise, widen like two little bells, very adorable.

"So... it was you."

"Yes, it was me." She spoke gently, "Lezhi, I came here specifically to talk to your brother about this matter."

With a "click...", the iron gate slowly opened, and a little girl in a pink dress peeked out half her body, her round, large eyes timidly staring at Jiang Yurou.

This sister is so beautiful.

Jiang Yurou gazed at the face in front of her that resembled Zhou Ming quite closely, and for a moment, she was stunned. Zhou Lezhi was indeed as cute as she had imagined, but upon seeing her snow-white hair and skin pale to the point of being almost inhuman, she found herself speechless.

This is the most apparent symptom of albinism...

Jiang Yurou composed herself, then squatted down beside Zhou Lezhi, touching her head, "Lezhi is just as cute and pretty as I imagined."

Her voice was very gentle, even her eyes twinkled with a warm glow.

Hearing the pretty sister praising her, Zhou Lezhi happily looked up, showing a sweet smile, "Really, Sister?"

But back when she was in kindergarten, her classmates all called her a monster.

Jiang Yurou looked into her clean, bright eyes, which seemed as though they could see through all the pure things in the world.

She nodded and said, "Of course, Lezhi not only has hair like the starry sky but also has the most clear eyes in the world, like an angel."

Lezhi felt a bit embarrassed by the praise and pulled Jiang Yurou’s hand as they walked in. She eagerly brought over a small stool, "Sister, sit here for a while. I’ll go get you some water."

Her brother had said to treat guests politely and not to neglect them.

Zhou Lezhi was just too well-behaved; Jiang Yurou’s heart was completely captured by her.

Watching Lezhi, who was not even half her height, kneel on the stool to fetch her water, Jiang Yurou felt both relieved and heartbroken.

At her age, she would never have done these things. It wasn’t because she was spoiled and wilful, but more because her parents never let her do such things, fearing she might hurt herself.

Compared with Lezhi, she only felt embarrassed.

Taking advantage of the moment Lezhi went to fetch water, Jiang Yurou began to take a closer look at the old house. Though somewhat aged, it was cleaned very thoroughly and even carried a faint scent.

She finally understood where that faint fragrance on Zhou Ming came from.

"Sister, here’s your water." Zhou Lezhi handed a cup of warm, clear boiled water to her lips, then sat obediently on the stool next to Jiang Yurou, waiting for her to finish drinking.

And in those innocent eyes was full of concern and affection for the pretty sister Jiang Yurou.

Jiang Yurou smiled and took the warm water handed by Zhou Lezhi, took a sip and asked, "Lezhi, is it just you and your brother at home?"

Zhou Lezhi replied, "Yes, mom and dad have gone to live the good life."

Jiang Yurou knew that "live the good life" that Zhou Lezhi mentioned probably meant they had passed away, something Zhou Ming must have told her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yurou suddenly felt heavy-hearted but still tried not to let Lezhi notice anything unusual, "I see, how old are you this year, Lezhi?"

Zhou Lezhi looked up thoughtfully and said, "I’m nine years old this year."

She was already nine years old, a few years older than Jiang Yurou thought, because she looked too little.

Just then, the bathroom door finally opened. "Lezhi, who are you talking to?"

Following that, Zhou Ming came out of the bathroom wearing a white tank top and black shorts, and since he had just showered, his short black hair was still dripping with water droplets. He wiped it off with a towel and upon seeing Jiang Yurou, his brows furrowed slightly.

Hearing her brother’s voice, Zhou Lezhi immediately stood up from the stool and ran towards Zhou Ming, then pulling at his large hand, she looked at Jiang Yurou, "Brother, this pretty sister said she has something important to talk to you about."

Zhou Ming’s gaze moved from Jiang Yurou’s face to Zhou Lezhi’s, "Okay, brother knows. Can you go play by yourself for a while, is that alright?"

"Alright." Zhou Lezhi nodded and then whispered very softly, "Brother, you must apologize nicely to the pretty sister."

Zhou Ming just gave a slight smile, "Go on."

Afterwards, Zhou Lezhi went alone to a corner to play with her toys.

Zhou Ming then turned to Jiang Yurou. "Come here."

Jiang Yurou followed him to the inner room, which was even simpler than the outside, containing just a bed and a work desk made of planks. If it wasn’t for the picture frame on the work desk, Jiang Yurou would hardly imagine that it was someone’s bedroom.

There were no chairs inside, Zhou Ming patted his bed, signaling her to sit there.

"You sit for a while; I’m going to dry my hair."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Yurou complied and walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to pick up the picture frame on the work desk, and held it in her hands, caressing it.
