The Younger Brother Next Door is a School Grass

After paying the money and alighting the car, she ran straight into the People’s Hospital.

Chen Cui was hit by a car… Chen Cui was hit by a car…

On the way, her head repeated this same sentence again and again as a layer of cold sweat covered her back and forehead.

How could she get into a car accident?

She didn’t gamble again, so how could she get into a car accident?

She passed away in a car accident in her last life…

Zhou Sisi’s eyes were red and she couldn’t stop thinking about the mess.

As running to the open space between the surgical building and the outpatient building, Zhou Sisi pursed her lips and dialed Chen Cui’s mobile phone.

The voice prompt said the other party had turned off the phone.

“Hello, I’m ‘Chen Cui’s’ daughter’, can you help me find out where ‘Chen Cui’ is? Who arrived at the hospital today? ” Zhou Sisi ran to the information desk and asked the staff anxiously.

The staff member raised his hand indifferently and showed a direction, “Go to the emergency room consultation desk and ask.”

“Thank you!” After thanking she turned around and hurried away.

When reaching the consultation desk on the emergency department floor, she asked the staff again.

“Chen Cui?” The staff member raised his eyes, “Your ID number and hers.”

She reported them in turn.

The staff tapped on the keyboard for a moment, “Chen Cui, at 15:36 registered with the emergency department, at 16:02 registered with the trauma orthopedic department.”

After bowing and saying thanks, she checked the departmental distribution map and jogged towards the trauma orthopedics department with her backpack.

There were many people queuing up for the elevator on the first floor of the surgical building. Zhou Sisi couldn’t wait and chose to walk upstairs. Passing by many sick patients, family members and medical staff, she was breathless and finally reached the seventh floor of the surgical building.

“Hello… may I ask…”

“Sisi? Sisi—”

Following the voice, Zhou Sisi turned her head and saw Chen Cui sitting in the corridor.

“What are you doing here?”

“Are you all right?”

The mother and daughter asked each other at the same time.

“I’m fine.” Chen Cui pulled her daughter to sit down, “The battery car was not fast – did the owner of the car call you?”

Zhou Sisi drops her eyes, blinking away the watery mist in her eyes, “Hmm.”

“He probably saw me pass out ……,” said Chen Cui, a little embarrassed.

The moment the battery car collided, her head replayed the vivid vision of the car crash that she had dreamt about last time, and then she fainted due to fright.

“When I woke up at the hospital, I found that my phone was dead and turned off automatically.” Chen Cui said, “I saw that Uncle had something to do, so I let him go.”

“It made my daughter worry.”

Zhou Sisi asked, “Are you uncomfortable anywhere? Did you have a checkup?”

“Uncle helped me register and sent me for a series of tests, and nothing happened.”

“Now waiting for the last C.T., and I’ll be fine. Don’t worry. Just a little bruise on the right knee and right finger.” Chen Cui pointed at her knees and spread out her palm.

After pausing for a few seconds, Chen Cui added, “I didn’t go to play mahjong today either. I switched shifts with my colleagues and planned to go home early to rest.”

Zhou Sisi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

There had never been a moment like this before, she clearly realized that Chen Cui – her mother – had really changed. And, she was really glad that she didn’t have an accident.

⸙ ⸙ ⸙ 

After getting the results of the last test and confirming that Chen Cui was fine, Zhou Sisi and her mother went back home.

Dinner was cooked by Zhou Sisi.

After a few bites, she received a text message from Lu Xi: Are you okay?

“My mother is all right.” Zhou Sisi replied and thoughtfully added, “How about a make-up class at eight tonight?”

Today’s make-up class was pushed from the morning to the afternoon, and then pushed off at night. She did not want to miss a session because of her own personal reasons.

The other side replied quickly: Ok, waiting for you.

At 7:55, Zhou Sisi talked to Chen Cui and went for Lu Xi’s make-up lessons.

Coming out of her house and standing in front of his house, her finger just knocked on the door, and the door was immediately opened by the owner.

“Have you eaten dinner?” Zhou Sisi asked while changing shoes, seeing that Aunt Xu hadn’t come back.

Lu Xi walked to the room, “I ate.” 

The food was takeout.

The English textbooks and exercise books from the first year of high school were placed on the desk.

Zhou Sisi’s eyes moved slightly, this was a bit rare. Lu Xi actually prepared the corresponding materials consciously?

Also, he took the initiative to offer supplementary lessons. He must have become more serious about learning.

After flipping through his textbook from the beginning, she overturned her previous guesses and sighed lightly.

The inner pages of his textbook were not much different from before, with few pitiful notes, and a lot of graffiti.

“How come you have time to draw these?” Zhou Sisi couldn’t help it.

Lu Xi said “Ah”, “Oh, it doesn’t take much time to draw these.”

Zhou Sisi: “Isn’t it good to take notes at this time?”

Lu Xi: “I understand everything in class, what notes to take?”

Feeling that speaking in front of Sisi in this way was not good and would affect his own image in her heart, Lu Xi touched the bridge of his nose and remedied the sentence: “There are similar points in “Learning and Evaluation”, here, just this one.”

“It’s all in the book, but writing it yourself can deepen the impression.” Zhou Sisi said warmly.

Lu Xi looked a little lazy. “Oh.”

Zhou Sisi asked: “What are the things that are not clear in UNIT 1?”

Well……What’s in unit one? Lu Xi grabbed his short hair and thought for a few seconds.

“It’s all right.” Zhou Sisi said as she added. “Let’s go over the grammar and vocabulary of UNIT 1 from the beginning.”

Zhou Sisi patiently analyzed and sorted out word by word and sentence by sentence. She would speak in more detail when he encountered key difficulties. As usual, questions were asked from time to time to lead him to an answer.

After so many sessions of remedial lessons, Zhou Sisi explored that such a pace of learning was more suitable for Lu Xi.

“…the last point, should have done, means ‘something that should have been done in the past but wasn’t done’, which contains the meaning of reproach.”

“What if it were to mean ‘something that should not have been done in the past but actually was done’?”

Zhou Sisi’s clear eyes looked at the “student” encouragingly.

Lu Xi, who was half-crooked on the chair: “shouldn’t have done.”

“Very good.” Zhou Sisi smiled, “That’s what you need to know, remember.”

“I’ll give you ten minutes to memorize it and then take dictation afterward.”

Lu Xi took over the book full of words and sentences, and half forced himself to read it and memorize it.

The 8 o’clock night wind dissipated a lot of heat, and the nocturnal insects in the community made the sound of Soso that crept into the room.

Zhou Sisi waited and waited, and her eyelids were a little heavy.

She didn’t sleep well last night, and didn’t take a nap at noon today. In addition, because of Chen Cui’s accident and the emotional ups and downs, Zhou Sisi’s body was exhausted.

Zhou Sisi covered her mouth and yawned gracefully, “I’ll squint for a while, call me when the time comes.”

Lu Xi picked it up quickly: “Okay, go to my bed…”

“No, it’s here at the desk.” as she said, she rested her forearm on the table and leaned her head down.

Slightly reddened face of Lu Xi: “Oh.” 

Setting aside the books and stationery to make more empty space on the already spacious desk.

Lu Xi read three-quarters of the vocabulary on both sides, and wondered if he actually read half of it.

Once again, his beautiful brown chestnut eyes drifted to the left.

Zhou Sisi’s thin and long eyelashes draped quietly, the tip of her nose and her fair cheeks were a little pink, which made him want to go over and take a bite or kiss.

So he did.

Lu Xi cautiously drew closer to Zhou Sisi, leaned slowly, and pressed his lips to her cheek.

The sound of night insects chirping disappeared in an instant.

Unconsciously held his breath.

— 

— “I shouldn’t have kissed her.”

—”My heart is beating so fast, like it’s going to break through my chest.”

— “Damn. What’s going on here?”

That night, Lu Xi, who was tossing and turning in bed and couldn’t sleep, did the “boring” act he once used to spit out, and poured out the teenagers’ thoughts to the “Hua Li No. 3 Middle School Confession Wall” in the forum.
