The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room through the window frame. Li Yue'er half-dead on the desk. Although she was flipping through the book in front of her, she didn't even look at a word. After a while, her little mouth pouted again and hummed two words with resentment: "Liar..."

In her eyes, my brother was a big liar. He had agreed to only go half a month, but in the end it had been more than twenty days, and it was almost a month since he had not seen him come back. I thought about it and looked at the gate every day, but I still didn't see him come back. What else could this be if he was not a liar?

The little girl was very thoughtful. After complaining for a while, she began to worry again. My brother wouldn't have anything happened to the mansion, right? Will he not want me anymore? How was he doing the exam this time... Anyway, he was afraid of whatever he was worried about, so he thought about it unconsciously. The more he thought about it, the more he became more and more panicked, and his eyes turned a little red again.

At this time, Gu walked in slowly, and smiled as soon as he saw the little girl, "Yue'er, who is making you sad again? Is it that boy Tianle? Tell me, I'll vent your anger."

"Oh, sister-in-law..." Yue'er then came to her senses, hurriedly shone her eyes, waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, Tianle didn't mess with me."

"That's when I miss your brother again, don't worry too much. Didn't Lao Gu say that everything is fine in the city, and he thinks he will be back in the next two days."

"Well..." The little girl nodded and smiled a little embarrassedly. In front of the Gu family, she really couldn't express too much of her worries.

Seeing her laughing, Gu Shi smiled with confidence and said, "That's right, you can look good when you smile. Let's go ahead and have a meal."

"But I don't have much appetite." Yue'er didn't move. She always missed her brother even more when she had dinner with her family. Today she just wanted to stay by herself.

Gu looked at her and suddenly sighed: "I'm up to you, but I still have to eat food. I'll send it to you later." As he said that, he turned around and was about to go out, but he was just seeing his eldest son running quickly towards this side. While running, he shouted: "Sister Yue'er, Sister Yue'er... Ga..." He rushed to the front and found that it was his mother who came out. He suddenly braked urgently, and then looked nervous: "Mom..."

"What are you doing here? You are a teenager, don't you have a politeness yet? If you see it, you will only say that we are not disciplined well." Gu immediately scolded Louis Koo and said that he lowered his head and stood up solemnly, without knowing where to put his hands.

After talking for a while, she snorted again: "Tell me, come to find Sister Yue'er, it's wrong. I told you that I would call you aunt, what's the matter with Aunt Yue'er?"

"She is three years older than me, she is my sister." Louis Koo muttered in a low voice, but when my mother looked at her, she immediately became timid again, "It's Uncle Li who is back, and my father asked me to tell Sister Yue'er... Aunt."

Yue'er, who was a little funny at first when the mother-son conversation was about, was stunned when she heard this, then hurriedly got up and walked over: "Tianle, you said... you said my brother is back?"

"Well, Uncle Li is talking to his father in the front hall..." Gu Tianle grinned. Before he could finish his words, he saw Sister Yue'er who had been taught a lesson by me as a role model... My aunt suddenly cheered, lifted her skirt and rushed out, and her speed was no slower than her. She was stunned by him and I, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Yue'er trotted all the way to the front hall, and then he heard the familiar voice from inside: "...I really want to thank Brother Gu for helping me take care of Yue'er for so long, otherwise I wouldn't be assured to leave her alone at home for a while."

Hearing this, the surprise of his brother's return was covered up by his belated resentment. Yue'er's mouth was pouting higher, and he just came to the hall and did not go in like this.

"Haha, it's just a little effort. You're too flirting with me, brother." Gu Yuezi said with a smile, and suddenly found that there was an extra person at the door, and then he looked at Yue'er with Li Ling, who was full of grievance.

"Yue'er, brother is back, we'll go home later." Li Ling was also happy when he saw his sister. He got up and waved at her, wanting to see if she has gained weight or lost weight after the month.

As a result, Yue'er responded to him with a humming hum. He did not enter the hall according to his wishes, but stared at him with resentment. Li Ling was stunned and understood his sister's thoughts. He simply stepped forward and came to her, and skillfully reached out to touch her hair: "Little girl, are you having a quarrel?"

Then he touched Kong, and after Yue'er avoided it, he still looked at him: "Why don't you keep your word? You big liar!"

"I lied to you... Oh, you talk about time. I don't know the specific exam time, so I delayed for two days..." Li Ling explained with a wry smile, and then found that his sister's eyes were red, and tears were rolling again: "But... but that's not what you said before..."

"Don't cry, it's because my brother was wrong, okay? I won't let you down again." Li Ling was a little confused when he saw this, and quickly held her hand and comforted her softly. In fact, if he said it carefully, he was indeed a little wrong. He just threw his sister in the Gu family, even if the relationship between the two parties was close, it was not his own.

Gu Yuezi seemed a little embarrassed in the hall. He was a man, without the delicate mind of a woman, and it was difficult to have too much contact with Yue'er. I really didn't know what the girl's mentality was. Now that the brother and sister are reunited, he seemed even more unnecessary to be by her side. She could only touch her nose and shrink into the corner.

"Okay, don't cry anymore, am I back? You will only let others laugh at me. We Yue'er is almost a big girl, why are you crying like a kitten?" Li Ling could only coax her in a low voice. Until then, Yue'er was slightly better and hummed, "You are a kitten..."

"Okay, okay, I'm a kitten, you're a big cat, you're OK. Look, I've brought you a lot of gifts this time. Is this jade bracelet good looking?" Seeing that her sister was a little better, Li Ling quickly took out a box from her arms like a treasure, opened it and took out a crystal clear jade bracelet and put it in her hand.

Yue'er lets him put the bracelet on his wrist, but snorted again: "It's the bracelet again..."

"Uh..." Li Ling was suffocated, and then he realized that as his sister said, the gifts he gave her were all bracelets. From the copper bracelet at the beginning, to the silver bracelet during the Chinese New Year, to today's jade bracelet... Although the price and material are constantly improving, they still look like bracelets, and they are not changed.

But this is not because Li Ling doesn't value his sister, or a straight man's aesthetic, and only knows how to give the same gift. It's really hard for Yue'er to wear other accessories now - women usually wear earrings and hairpins, but they are jewelry after marrying a wife. As for rings that are quite popular in later generations, it is even rarer, so looking at it, the only thing that can make her like a little girl wear is bracelets.

But now he was not busy explaining, but just smiled and said with apologies: "Yue'er, what you said is that you will give you other gifts in the future. By the way, if you really don't like this bracelet, I'll take it back and give it to someone else." As he said that, he was about to take it out.

Now it was Yue'er's turn to be anxious, so she quickly shrank her hand and avoided his actions: "No, brother, you have already given me all, so I won't return it to you."

"Hey..." What does it mean to be straight and the law of being so fragrant? Isn't this perfect? ​​Li Ling just acted and nodded when he saw this: "Then wear it. Yue'er, since the gift has been accepted, don't be angry with your brother, okay?"

"Then don't lie to me again in the future..." Yue'er looked at her brother seriously and said.

"It's definitely not. I will definitely say that I will come back whenever I come back in the future." Li Ling agreed without any worries, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, finally coaxing his sister. At that moment, he clasped his fists to Gu Yuezi again and thanked him, and agreed to talk about other things in two days, so he pulled his sister out and went home.

At this time, the sunset was about to completely sink, and only the last little red light shone on the street corner, which made the two of them unconsciously accelerate. Yue'er even held one of the elder brother's arm tightly, as if she was afraid that once she let go, her brother would suddenly disappear like in her previous dream.

"Brother..." After walking a few steps, Yue'er turned to look at Li Ling again.

"Hmm?" Li Ling also looked at her.

"Have you passed the scholar exam this time?" She didn't think of this key thing until then, and asked with concern and expectation.

"Guess." Li Ling replied with a smile.

Yue'er thought carefully: "Looking at my brother's appearance, I must have passed the exam. Brother, have you really passed the scholar?" Seeing that my brother smiled and nodded slightly, the little girl felt even more excited, "You have really fulfilled the wishes of grandpa and dad, and passed the scholar!"

"Well, not only a scholar, I will also pass the imperial examination, pass the imperial examination, and then become an official!" Li Ling said seriously. As the scholar achieved his fame, his ambitions have become clear and clear.

In the past, what he called a huge businessman and a prosperous country was more of an ideal, but now he really had such a mind, at least he had opened a crack in the door to success.

The little girl became happier: "Then we have to eat something delicious today and celebrate it."

"Of course, I've already ordered the food and drinks in the restaurant before I came, all of which you like."

"I want to eat pork ribs."

"have."

"I want to eat fish."

"have."

"I still want to eat..."

"Everything." Li Ling said, reaching out and touching Yue'er's head again, his face full of doting.
