When having dinner in the evening, Shi Yu noticed that everyone in the family seemed very happy. However, Shi Yu didn't care too much. What he cared more about was how to get them to sign.
"Don't just eat rice. Eat more vegetables and some meat."
Seeing that some vegetables were suddenly added to his plate, Shi Yu was stunned for a moment and looked up at Shi Li.
Combining with Shi Li's words, Shi Yu suddenly felt a bit creepy. Recently, Shi Li seemed to be very concerned about him.
Although Shi Li had never bullied him actively, he also knew himself well. His eldest brother definitely didn't like him much. But recently, he was so attentive. Something abnormal must have a reason!
Looking at those vegetables, Shi Yu didn't dare to eat them.
Seeing that Shi Yu didn't touch the dishes he had picked, Shi Li was unhappy in his heart, but ultimately said nothing.
Just his pair of eyes kept glancing at Shi Yu from time to time.
Shi Rou was originally having dinner and chatting with Chu Feng. Suddenly, she noticed that her elder brother kept his eyes on Shi Yu, and suddenly a burst of anger rose in her heart.
Why is this Shi Yu so despicable!
It was clearly her elder brother, but he always focused on Shi Yu. It took her so much effort to make her elder brother obedient to her and no longer care about Shi Yu. How come just a few days without supervision, he cared about Shi Yu again!
This Shi Yu is really a troublesome person!
"Brother, I also want to eat the dish in front of you. I can't reach it. Could you pick it up for me, okay?"
Shi Li looked at the dish and then at the distance which was less than an arm's length: "If you want to eat it, just pick it up yourself."
Shi Rou was stunned. She didn't expect her elder brother to be so indifferent, and tears were about to fill her eyes again.
When Shi's father and mother saw this, they quickly picked up some dishes and put them in Shi Rou's bowl.
Shi's father gave Shi Li a reproachful look: "How old are you? What's wrong with picking up dishes for your sister? You keep refusing. Have you grown too independent?"
Before Shi Li could speak, Shi Rou whispered, "Dad, don't blame brother. Maybe brother just wants me to pick up the dishes by myself and not always rely on others."
Shi's father frowned: "He can pick up dishes for Shi Yu. Why can't he do it for you?"
Shi Yu was having the meal and showed a puzzled expression. Could your war not involve me? Did I ask Shi Li to pick up dishes for me?
Shi Li didn't speak, but the usually gentle and doting eyes he gave Shi Rou had now changed.
Shi Li hadn't noticed before, but now he found that his well-behaved, kind and always considerate sister seemed somewhat different.
In contrast, Shi Yu had been eating quietly there. Unconsciously, the balance in Shi Li's heart gradually began to tilt.
Shi's father scolded Shi Li a few words, and with Shi Rou's persuasion, the matter passed.
Shi Yu was already accustomed to this, but what made him strange was Shi Li's performance this time.
Compared with Shi's father and mother, Shi Li's doting on Shi Rou was no less.
After dinner, Shi Yu originally planned to go directly back to his room, but happened to hear Shi's father and mother talking about traveling.
Shi Yu was interested in this and stayed to listen for a while.
It turned out to be a gathering in a circle. Several rich wives planned to get together, and naturally Shi's mother had no reason not to go.
Now Shi Yu felt relieved in his heart.
"Are you happy that my parents are on a trip?" Shi Li didn't know when he had already sat beside Shi Yu, his pair of emotionless eyes looking at Shi Yu so indifferently.
Shi Yu pursed his lips and said nothing.
Shi Li didn't continue to ask either. He just thought the joy that showed in his younger brother's eyes was very nice and wanted to get closer to take a look.
His younger brother used to look at him with such eyes before, but he lost it later.
Shi Li lowered his eyelids to hide the emotions in his eyes.
Shi Yu stayed for a while and left after hearing what he wanted to hear.
In the following few days, Shi's father and mother really went on a trip. Only grandparents, Shi Li, Shi Rou and Shi Yu were left at home.
Shi Yu thought for a moment. Now he could completely ask Shi Li to sign for him.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Shi Yu knocked on Shi Li's study with a cup of milk in his hand.
As the saying goes, "One who takes bribes is at a disadvantage; one who accepts favours is compromised." Shi Yu thought that considering the last painting and this cup of milk, Shi Li should not refuse his small request.
Shi Li had just finished dealing with the documents when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Upon hearing the voice, Shi Yu pushed the door open and shouted, "Big brother."
Hearing this voice, Shi Li, who had originally maintained a cold expression, immediately turned his head to look. Standing at the door was his younger brother.
"Why did you come?"
Shi Yu put the milk on Shi Li's table and said, "The butler asked me to send it over."
Shi Li immediately picked it up and took a sip, but his eyes were always on Shi Yu.
This younger brother of his definitely wouldn't come without a reason.
When Shi Yu faced Shi Li, he was actually a bit awkward. Shi Li had never actively bullied him, but nor had he helped him. Most of the time, he just watched Shi Rou do those things to him indifferently and remained unmoved.
Shi Yu didn't know exactly how to face Shi Li.
"Xiao Yu?" Seeing that Shi Yu remained silent for a long time, Shi Li called out.
Only then did Shi Yu come to his senses. He collected those strange emotions just now and looked at Shi Li.
"Big brother, I have something and I want to ask for your help."
Shi Li became interested. His younger brother had never asked him for help before. Why did he ask this time?
"What do you want your big brother to do? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu thought it seemed very promising. Looking at his big brother's eager eyes, Shi Yu said with a smile, "I want to live in the school dormitory and I want my brother to sign for me."
Hearing that Shi Yu wanted to live in the school dormitory, Shi Li's face immediately darkened.
He said through gritted teeth, "What did you say? Live in the school dormitory? Do you want to leave the Shi family?"
Seeing Shi Li's expression like this, Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this way wouldn't work?
However, his moving out doesn't harm the interests of the Shi family. On the contrary, with one less obstructive person at home, shouldn't they be happier?
Shi Li also felt that his reaction was a bit too intense.
After calming down for a while, he tried to speak in a gentle voice and said, "Why do you want to move out?"
"Recently, the school is going to hold a competition. I want to participate in that competition and need to focus on painting at school."
Shi Yu had already thought of an excuse. Besides, this wasn't a lie. There was indeed a competition. However, he didn't have to live at school, but this was a good excuse.
When hearing that Shi Yu wanted to move out because of the competition, Shi Li's expression wasn't so terrifying.
But he was still a little unhappy. He just wanted to compensate Shi Yu, but Shi Yu was going to live at school.
"Must you live at school? Isn't it okay at home?"
Shi Yu looked at Shi Li with a aggrieved and stubborn look and said, "At home, I don't know whose name will be written on my painting one day."
When saying this, Shi Yu was calm and indifferent, but Shi Li could still see the grievance. Thinking about the painting of Shi Yu that he took away a few days ago, no wonder Xiao Yu had such concerns.
In the end, it was all his fault.
Shi Li drank another mouthful of milk.
"I'll go to the school to handle the formalities for you tomorrow."
