Su Meimei quickly forgot about the things she had done to bully Su Rou. The next day at the dining table, to her great surprise, she saw Su Yuze. It was quite a miracle because Su Yuze and his other two elder brothers usually left home very early.
"Good morning, Brother Yuze." Su Meimei greeted politely. She liked this good - looking elder brother very much.
"Yeah." Su Yuze nodded slightly while sipping his morning tea. But as he tilted his head to drink, a calculating look flashed in his eyes.
Su Meimei was a bit excited. It was rare for her to talk to Brother Yuze even once a week. With this excitement, she happily sat down in her chair, picked up the sandwich in front of her, and took a big bite. But the next second, her smiling face froze. She threw the sandwich aside and spat out the food in her mouth.
"What's wrong?" Su Yuze raised his eyebrows and looked at her strange behavior.
"Spicy... so spicy." Su Meimei stuck out her tongue. Her beautiful little face turned red from the spiciness, and she looked extremely painful. Frowning, she felt a pungent, numb and spicy taste in her mouth, which made her very uncomfortable. "Brother Yuze, it's so spicy..." She looked at Su Yuze pitifully, seeking help.
Su Yuze passed her the cup beside him. Without even looking, Su Meimei tilted her head and took a big gulp. God, what on earth had she just eaten? Why was it so spicy! But the next moment, Su Meimei spat out the water in her mouth. With a bitter face and sticking out her tongue, her expression was rather strange. "Brother Yuze... what did you give me to drink?"
"Coffee." Su Yuze said calmly, without even a flicker of emotion on his face. "There's only coffee here."
Su Meimei looked at the cups on the dining table. All the ones with liquid in them seemed to be coffee. She stamped her foot resignedly, then opened the sandwich in front of her. "How annoying! Who put mustard in my breakfast!"
Su Yuze glanced calmly at the furious Su Meimei and continued to eat his breakfast quietly. Seeing Su Yuze's calm look, Su Meimei bit her lips and started to eat her breakfast quietly too. She didn't want Brother Yuze to think she was uneducated. After all, no matter how hard she thought, she would never suspect Su Yuze.
"Brother Yuze, I've finished eating. I'm going to school." Just like a child, she quickly forgot what had just happened. She bounced up and greeted Su Yuze.
"Yeah." Just as Su Meimei closed the door, a faint smile appeared on Su Yuze's lips, making the tear - mole under his left eye look even more vivid.
Su Yuze checked the time. It should be time for the little one to wake up. As he was thinking this, a small figure appeared on the stairs. Su Yuze's cold look immediately softened. "Be careful, little Rou'er."
"Brother Ze!" Su Rou ran down the stairs and sat beside Su Yuze voluntarily. There was already a breakfast set in front of her. "Can I not eat the egg?" She didn't like eggs at all.
"No." Eggs were the best way for children to supplement nutrition. He hoped his little Rou'er could have a healthy body.
"Humph!" Su Rou turned her head and angrily bit the egg that Su Yuze had peeled and passed to her, as if venting her anger, but more like quickly finishing a task. She only acted like a spoiled child in front of Su Yuze. In front of other members of the Su family, she was always quiet and well - behaved.
Hehe... Looking at the aggrieved look in Su Rou's big eyes, he smiled dotingly, rubbed her fluffy hair, and fed her milk. "Little Rou'er, do you like the Su family?"
"Hmm?" Su Rou looked at him with big eyes, as if she didn't understand what he meant. She put down the milk cup, with a ring of milk stain on her lips.
"Besides me, do you like the other people in the Su family?" Su Yuze wiped the milk stain from her lips with his thumb and continued to ask patiently.
This time, little Su Rou understood. She thought for a while and then timidly shook her head. In this family, she was only close to Brother Ze. The others seemed to ignore her. It felt like the adults had a lot of things to do, and the elder brothers had to learn a lot. The only elder sister seemed to hate her very much. So she... didn't like them.
"Then, when brother has the ability and can leave, I'll take my little Rou'er with me, okay?" Su Yuze knew the situation of the Su family well. He was worried about leaving little Rou'er alone at home every day. So he had to make himself stronger quickly so that he could give little Rou'er a peaceful and safe life.
At that time, Su Rou didn't quite understand the deep meaning of Su Yuze's words. She only knew that Brother Ze promised to be with her. So she smiled happily. "Okay!" She nodded her little head vigorously. "Wherever Brother Ze goes, I'll go!"
"You little idiot." Su Yuze was a bit helpless. "Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you?" Where did she get so much courage to trust him like this?
"I'm not afraid. I like Brother Ze the most." Su Rou tilted her little head, looking innocent, and expressed her feelings without any reservation.
Su Yuze's heart skipped a beat. Looking at this lovely little elf, he kissed her fair and tender cheek gently. "I like you too, little Rou'er." Maybe at the beginning, it was to let Aunt Nuan see her daughter, but after so many years, he had gradually fallen in love with this little girl. Seeing her clumsily pouring water for him when he was tired, such a considerate younger sister, he truly accepted her. "Little Rou'er, I'm going out. Be a good girl at home. If you don't know how to do something, just call the butler or call me."
"Okay." Su Rou nodded obediently. Then her big eyes rolled. Suddenly, she straightened up and quickly gave Su Yuze a loud kiss on his perfect side face. "Goodbye, Brother Ze."
If possible, he really wanted to spend more time with Su Rou. But... in order to gain freedom as soon as possible and leave this dull Su family, he had to go out and study! The tenderness on Su Yuze's face disappeared the moment he stepped out of the door, replaced by a cold look. For little Su Rou, he had to work hard!
