Chapter 25 Missing You
I don't know what she was thinking.

Shi Yao just felt more and more uncomfortable looking at her expression, the kind that really hurts to breathe.

Reluctantly said: "Go to bed early."

After Shi Yao finished speaking, he went back to his room, leaving her alone in the living room.

Ji Yuting just watched him leave. At that moment, no one knew what she was thinking, including herself.

After a while, she rested her right hand on her forehead and covered her eyes, feeling very complicated.

After returning to her room, Ji Yuting tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She didn't know if it was the hot weather or the boredom in her heart.

Shi Yao came out of the bathroom, with water dripping from his bangs on his forehead, only a bath towel wrapped around his abdomen, and a dry towel on the back of his neck. He wiped his hair while walking, and came to the head of the bed.

The body exudes the smell of lime, showing strong arms, strong chest muscles, ink-like pupils with a charming color, sharp-edged outlines, as handsome as a knife, revealing a trace of coldness and abstinence.

However, at this time.

A cell phone ringing broke the silence in the bedroom.

Shi Yao stopped wiping his hair, then looked at the mobile phone on the bedside table, and took it over.

Seeing the note on the call, he suddenly frowned.

The next second, he pressed the answer button and put it close to his ear, with a low voice with a hint of tenderness: "Haven't you slept so late?"

"I miss you!" The girl's sweet and immature voice came from the phone, she chuckled lightly, in a very happy mood, and when she spoke again, the girl said aggrievedly, "I should have called you in the afternoon, go back after dinner I repaired it last night, I forgot... I just remembered it now..."

The girl on the phone was his younger sister, Shigure.

When Shi Yao heard this, he raised his hand helplessly to fiddle with his bangs, pushed it back, and grabbed it, "I'm sorry, brother has been too busy recently, so I didn't take care of you."

Shi Yao felt a little guilty.

In the past, he would take the initiative to call her every two days at most, asking her about her situation at school, worried that she was too tired from studying, whether she had meals on time, and so on.

This time, it seems that I haven't contacted her for more than a week.

Shi Yu smiled sweetly on the other end, "It's okay, I'm fine here, don't worry."

"En." Hearing her voice, Shi Yao's heart seemed to be melted, his eyes were full of tenderness that couldn't be concealed.

"I'd like to share a piece of good news with you. I won the second prize in the province in the Mathematical Olympiad competition I participated in last month!" Speaking of this, she sighed again, "It's a pity... I'm still four points away. It’s tied for number one.”

Shi Yao immediately comforted her: "Our Xiao Yu is already great."

He knew that Shi Yu had been working hard in his studies.

Because of limited financial conditions, he dropped out of high school to work part-time before graduating from high school, and worked hard to save Shi Yu's tuition for her to go to school.

That time was the first time the siblings quarreled over this.

Later, Shi Yu became very diligent and said that he would work hard together with his share, and he knew that she would not let him down.

Because of her, he has always been his pride.

"Well... I will try harder next time." Although she was a little regretful, she was still very happy in her heart, being able to stand out from the crowd and win the second prize in the province.

Shi Yao let out a soft "um" from his throat.

Shi Yu on the other end of the phone could hear something was wrong with him, his tone was much calmer than usual, as if he was suppressed by something, "Brother, did you encounter any troubles?"
