Chapter 181 - Sis, Listen
…
A few minutes later, Li Jianyu helplessly announced, "Xingchen streaming services have contacted me saying that there has been a malicious attack by hackers on our database, which caused our stream to go dark… Even if we switch channels, I"m afraid we will be targeted once again. Let"s end the stream today; thank you everyone for your hard work."
The Sea7 boys had a schedule to follow the next morning, and despite their reluctance, they had to leave regardless.
Before heading off, the boys bowed toward all the staff members to express their thanks.
The boys had left the production team with a great impression, with Li Jianyu even adding their WeChat. If there was an opportunity in the future, he would recommend them to other directors in the industry.
Finally, it was their turn to say goodbye to Xiang Yi.
"Sis..." There were thousands of words in his heart, but Jiang Chen didn"t know where to begin. His eyes began to well up. "Thank you for inviting us to "Two Under One Roof", I feel...very happy."
"Yes, yes! Sis, me too!"
"Thank you, sis, for your delicious meals, you"ve worked so hard. I hope sis can be happy every day."
"Mhmm. Sis, best of luck!"
"..."
During her transmigration sequences, Xiang Yi had experienced way too many separations and partings. Upon returning to the real world, she did not take much initiative to socialize since interacting with people meant there would inevitably be separation.
But "Two Under One Roof" had given her a different perspective.
"Here, the food I prepared for you. Remember to eat well, especially if you are not in a good mood, so you can have the strength to face everything." She pulled out a few stacks of packed bento boxes and warmly smiled. "I look forward to seeing you guys s.h.i.+ning on the stage. You can come by for food anytime you want. You"re forever welcome here."
Someone began to sob, and soon, the emotions began to spread. The boys received the bento from her and left without looking back.
Afraid that if they turned around, the tears wouldn"t stop flowing.
They were not afraid of the cruelty in this world.
Yet, they could never be indifferent in the face of kindness.
…
After seeing the boys off, someone blocked Xiang Yi"s path.
"Big brother?" The girl lifted her head and addressed him.
Xiang Qi"s face was as grim as a devil. "Let"s talk?"
Xiang Yi bit her lip and nodded.
…
Below the sycamore tree.
"..." Xiang Qi lifted his hand and pushed her on the swing before pondering for a moment. Then he asked, "Where… Where have you been over the last year?"
Xiang Yi momentarily didn"t know how to respond.
"It"s fine if you don"t want to talk about it. As long as you"re back, it"s all good." Xiang Qi lowered his voice as a trace of hoa.r.s.eness escaped.
Xiang Yi felt her nose shrivel up. She put her toes on the ground, stopping the swing, and then looked at Xiang Qi seriously. "Bro, I went on a vacation to a very, very far-off place. I"ve met all kinds of strange people and learned all kinds of strange skills. Now that my trip is over, I"ve returned home, because you guys are here."
Xiang Qi looked slightly moved as he turned his face away, asking awkwardly. "Hey, did anyone bully you? Do you need your brother to avenge you?!"
Xiang Yi smiled lightly. "No, it was mostly me doing the bullying."
After all, she was the strongest support in all the transmigration universes :)
Xiang Qi was relieved. Suddenly, he pinched Xiang Yi"s small face and squeezed it a few times, threatening ferociously:
"Next time you go on a trip, you must take me!"
"Or at least...tell me first."
"Because big brother...is really worried about you."
"Sis, you gotta listen, okay?"
