Su Rou quickly reached the school gate. But then she thought that Brother Ze must be waiting there to pick her up. If she went out through the main gate, they would surely run into each other. She had left alone that morning without telling Brother Ze. He would definitely be angry.
So, she decided not to go through the main gate. Going through the side gate would be fine. She could deal with everything when she got home.
With that in mind, Su Rou turned and headed towards the side gate.
The iron gate of the side gate was relatively small. Su Rou walked over and opened it. She had only been to this side gate once, the time when she was bullied by that disgusting Liu Hao! Su Rou had only taken a couple of steps outside when she suddenly froze. Then she turned around and ran back into the school. What the hell! Wasn't that car parked at the side gate Su Yuze's?
"Stop!" Su Yuze got out of the car and called out to her seriously.
Su Rou stopped instinctively, but only for two or three seconds. Then she continued running inside. Su Yuze fully utilized his long legs and caught up with Su Rou in a few steps. He picked up her petite body and turned her to face him. With a gloomy face, he asked, "What on earth is wrong with you? If you're in a bad mood, take it out on me."
"I'm fine." Su Rou averted her gaze, not wanting to look at him.
"Fine? If you're fine, why did you go to school alone this morning? If you're fine, why are you going through the side gate after school for no reason?" Su Yuze wasn't easy to deceive.
Su Rou pouted. "By the way... how did you know I would come through here?"
"Since you dared to go to school alone, you must also want to go home alone. I knew I couldn't catch you at the school gate, so I came to the side gate to take a look." He was actually right! This little girl really needed to be taught a lesson! "If you're unhappy, you can tell me. Don't go out alone."
Su Rou wriggled her small body stubbornly, trying to break free from his grip. Su Yuze knew her very well, which made Su Rou feel her heart pounding out of control. She would rather Su Yuze be a strict brother than be so nice to her. It only made it harder for her to let go!
Seeing that she was still being stubborn, Su Yuze narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he bent down, picked her up, and stuffed her into the car. Although the side gate was sparsely populated, there were still people around. So, it was better to talk at home.
Su Rou was forced to fasten her seatbelt. She pouted slightly in dissatisfaction and propped her chin up, looking out of the window.
When they got home, Su Rou sat on the sofa, looking down at her phone and not saying a word, no matter what Su Yuze said. But before Su Yuze could get her to say something, he suddenly heard "gurgling" sounds in the air.
Su Rou hugged her stomach and looked at Su Yuze, whispering, "I'm hungry."
"Didn't you eat today?" Su Yuze asked with a cold face.
She was just about to nod, but then she thought that if she told the truth, Brother Ze would scold her. So she paused for a few seconds and said, "I ate."
"Liar."
"… Okay, I didn't eat." She had no appetite at all. Just struggling with her abnormal feelings had taken up most of her time.
Su Yuze got angry. "Do you like to torture yourself?"
"I don't."
"Explain clearly." Su Yuze could understand that little girls might have some little thoughts, but he didn't allow her to torture herself like this. She was already in poor health, and she was still acting so recklessly.
Su Rou also got a bit impatient. Who was she struggling because of? She couldn't tell him about her abnormal love, or they wouldn't even be able to be siblings anymore! Su Rou calmed down, turned her head, and said, "I can't explain it clearly. I'm going back to my room."
"Stop!" Trying to run away again?
Sure enough, Su Rou obediently stopped. She turned around and glared at Su Yuze fiercely. "Leave me alone!"
"If I don't take care of you, who will?"
"I know you're my brother. Being a brother is so great!" The word "brother" really hurt. Su Rou felt her nose getting a bit sore. Before she lost control, she quickly ran upstairs.
This little thing was really angry, but what on earth was it because of? He followed her upstairs and wanted to turn the doorknob to comfort her. God knows that in fact, he didn't want to be her brother at all, but this fact couldn't be told to her for the time being, or it would be a blow to her.
But when he turned the doorknob, he found that she had locked the door from the inside. "Xiaorou'er, open the door."
"Not opening!" Su Rou's angry shout came from inside.
"If you have something to say, tell me. Be good and open the door." Su Yuze softened his voice to coax her.
Su Rou didn't want to be like this either, but she didn't want to see Su Yuze for now. "I said I won't open it. You don't know anything. Leave me alone."
Su Yuze's hand that was knocking on the door paused slightly. He keenly caught the slight sob in her words just now. Was she crying? This realization made him even more curious. What on earth had happened?
"Xiaorou'er..."
"Leave me alone." Su Rou angrily threw a pillow out. "Please!"
Su Yuze put down his hand. Well, maybe it was a little girl's secret. Let her be alone for a while. How come girls' thoughts were getting harder to guess as they grew up? Xiaorou'er used to be a very simple girl, but now she had grown up and had more little thoughts.
Hearing the sound of footsteps leaving at the door, Su Rou buried her head in the bedsheet. A few clear tears slowly flowed down. Ah - she really wanted to run away from home!
Seeing Su Yuze come downstairs, Aunt Wang slowly moved over. "Young master, did you and miss have a quarrel?" It was hard for her to ignore the commotion just now.
Su Yuze sat on the sofa expressionlessly. "No."
"Okay, then... I'll go prepare dinner."
"Aunt Wang." Su Yuze suddenly called out to her. "Make more dishes that Xiaorou'er likes."
Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay."
No matter how angry Su Rou was, she hadn't eaten all day. She would definitely be hungry at night.
Su Yuze was right. After Su Rou had been sulking in her room for a long time, she felt a bit hungry. But she had just quarreled with Su Yuze. It would be too embarrassing to go out like this.
It would be better to wait until Brother Ze fell asleep and then go downstairs to find something to eat.
Just like this, Su Rou sat on the bed for a few hours. At half past nine, Su Rou keenly heard the sound of a door closing in the corridor. It was Brother Ze! Was he asleep? So early!
But it didn't matter. She was really hungry now. Su Rou got out of bed and opened the door. Just as she was about to go out, she saw a big tray placed in front of her room door. There were several bowls on it covering the food. She gently lifted the bowls. The food was still hot, and they were all her favorite dishes!
Su Rou's eyes turned slightly red. Brother Ze, why was he so nice to her!
