He said he doesn't love me

After the three of them finished dinner, the housekeeper brought the kitten over. The pet doctor had done a basic examination and found that the kitten had congenital dysplasia, which caused atrophy of its lower limbs and made it unable to move.

"So that's why it was abandoned?" Sun Ran took the kitten and washed it, revealing its true appearance. It was a tabby cat that was probably only three months old. When the kitten saw Sun Ran, it looked up and meowed at him, as if to thank him.

Sun Li stroked the kitten's head and comforted it, "It's okay, there will always be a way. If you want to keep it, we will treat it. Have you given it a name?"

Sun Ran shook his head. He had just been thinking about bringing it back and hadn't thought of a name yet.

"Go ask later. If it's a stray cat, go get a certificate. You can give it a name first." Sun Qing glanced at his phone. It was almost seven o'clock. He walked out the door. Sun Ran looked puzzled and asked, "What are you doing, Fourth Brother?"

Sun Li leaned over and whispered to him, explaining that Sun Qing would call his partner on time every day to report and share the interesting things that happened that day.

Sun Ran's eyes widened when he heard this: "I didn't expect Fourth Brother to be so clingy?"

"Idiot, this is called the desire to share. It's a way to enhance the relationship between two people and increase their participation in life. Even if two people are not together, at least they know how the other person is doing today. Whether they are happy or not, whether they have been bullied... Oh, forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you." Sun Li said and sat down. Sun Ran pouted and refuted him.

"What's there to not understand? It's just sharing. You talk as if you know everything." He poured himself a glass of water and found that the maid who used to be busy at home was gone: "Brother, where are those sisters?"

Sun Li tapped his forehead: "You're the only one who wants to eat? You're full, you can't stop others from eating."

It turned out that he went to eat. It seems that the working treatment here is not bad! Why can't I meet such a kind boss at work?

"Well... I'll call you Doubao then, Doubao!" Sun Ran looked at the kitten and called its name. Doubao liked the name very much and kept meowing. After Sun Qing finished the call, the three of them set off to the mall.

After buying cat food and toys, Sun Qing took the things and went back first. Sun Li took his brother to the clothing store, planning to buy some clothes.

Although there weren't many people in the mall at night, it was still easy to get lost. Sun Li had no choice but to pull Sun Ran along, just like when he took him out to play when they were kids. Fearing that his brother would get lost, he didn't walk fast. After walking around for a few times and not being satisfied, Sun Li sighed and decided not to continue walking.

He took Sun Ran directly out of the mall and drove straight to an old street. After driving for more than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a private custom workshop.

Sun Ran's eye twitched. This kind of place didn't look like a place his brother would set foot in. It looked more like the old alley where he often went to buy clothes in his previous life.

"Come on in, why are you standing there? Even though this shop looks small, the craftsmanship is quite good. I've ordered several suits here." Sun Li took the lead and Sun Ran had to follow.

This kind of place shouldn't be very expensive. If the price is right, he can come and have a look some other day.

Although he is now the young master of the Sun family and has everything he needs, it does not mean that he will be extravagant and wasteful. The hard-earned happiness should be cherished. After all, the money belongs to Sun Ran, not him.

If it were someone else, as long as he was called Sun Ran, he would have all these. He wanted to have what he wanted by himself. No one's money came from the wind. It didn't make sense for his brothers to make money, but he didn't make any, and he spent it lavishly.

When you open the door curtain, you will see models lined up on both sides. The clothes on the models are exquisite and beautiful. They look like they were designed by famous designers. Each model has a different style and the clothes are matched just right. Once you look at them, you can't take your eyes off them.

Sun Ran swallowed and retracted his thoughts. It seemed that he couldn't afford a place like this.

Rich people are really scary, he sighed, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his original self was ungrateful.

"Xia Yi, are you free?"

Sun Li walked to a mirror and fiddled with her bangs, which were slightly covering her eyes. It was time to trim them.

Surname Xia?

Sun Ran searched his mind. There was no one with the surname Xia in his original memory, but why did he feel that the name was so familiar?

I seem to have heard it somewhere...

"Didn't you say you couldn't come over recently?" A young man came out holding a bowl and chewing something.

He had dyed blonde hair and a pair of glasses that completely covered his beautiful pupils. A smile was on his chubby face. He swallowed what was in his mouth and looked at Sun Li.

"Are you going to keep your hair for the New Year?" He put the bowl on the table, reached out to take down the scissors hanging on the wall, and raised his chin towards the chair. Sun Li sat down obediently and waited for him to trim her bangs.

"Why did you think of coming here today? I thought you were too busy to come." He took a piece of cloth to cover Sun Li's clothes, picked up the comb and started to work, clicking away.

"Close your eyes." He stood up to collect his things, hung the scissors back on the wall, then leaned over slightly to blow the hair off Sun Li's face. Only then did he notice Sun Ran standing there at a loss.

He looked at Sun Li, then stared at Sun Ran for a long time: "Hello, brother, I'm Xia Yi."

"Come here and let him measure your size." Sun Li introduced to Sun Ran: "Well, this is Xia Yi, my boyfriend, Qi Mo's fashion designer, you can just call him Brother Xia."

"Sun Ran, my youngest son, I mentioned this to you."

Xia Yi nodded: "I recognize you brothers. You brothers look very similar. You are both very handsome."

Sun Ran felt a little embarrassed and looked down at his toes.

Qimo is a well-known private brand that has grown from a small studio step by step, and has always been focusing on exquisite design and promoting Chinese style. After gradually entering the public eye, it holds design competitions with different themes every year.

One is to let the world see the unique charm of China, and the other is to find designers hidden among the people.

There is a most famous designer in Qimo Studio. I heard that his stage name is Shuangyi and he has very ostentatious blonde hair. I think it should be the one in front of me.

"Hello, Brother Xia." Sun Ran suppressed his surprise and smiled at Xia Yi.

Xia Yi smiled gently and looked very compatible with Sun Li.

"Originally I couldn't come over, but my second brother happened to go over there for inspection, so I took the opportunity to run over." Sun Li pinched Xia Yi's right hand, and said something in a voice that only the two of them could hear, as if no one was around. After listening, Xia Yi nodded and took out a cloth measure from the drawer.

"No hurry, I'll eat first?"

"No hurry, no hurry. You eat first. Why are you eating so late again today? It's almost eight o'clock." Sun Li found a chair for Sun Ran. Sun Ran sat next to him and looked at the clothes on the model, while Sun Li watched Xia Yi eat.

"Isn't there a fashion design competition going on recently? I thought I was bored anyway, so I might as well practice, so I signed up. But I didn't have any inspiration for a few days. I was just drawing and forgot to eat."

For designers, inspiration is very important. Sun Li naturally knows the frustration of having no inspiration. So when inspiration comes, Xia Yi often rushes to write it down, fearing that the inspiration will disappear without a trace in the next second. So he just nodded and said nothing. Perhaps every designer is like this.

Xia Yi took two bites of rice and handed the bowl to Sun Li: "Can you help me get a bowl of soup? I can't swallow it."

"Okay, little one, do you want some soup? Your brother Xia is a good cook. I'll serve you a bowl too. Do you have any extra?" Sun Li took the bowl and turned to ask Sun Ran.

"If there is any left, then you can give him some more ribs and corn. It will be a waste if I can't finish them. There is also extra if you want to drink. I boiled a pot. I don't know how I dared, hahahaha."

"I won't drink anymore. You two can drink more," Sun Li replied. Seeing that he only had one mouthful of rice left, he asked, "Would you like some more?"

Xia Yi shook his head and refused: "I'm full, a bowl of soup is enough."

Sun Ran wanted to refuse, but since Xia Yi had already spoken, it would be disrespectful to him if he refused.

What's more, this was the first time they met. If he didn't give him face, would Xia Yi think that he didn't like him? And then he would quarrel with his brother?

"Thank you, Brother Xia." He nodded obediently. Sun Li took the bowl to the back. Xia Yi had been staring at Sun Ran from the beginning, as if there was something on Sun Ran's face.

There were only two of them at the moment, so he was not afraid of embarrassment and walked up to Sun Ran and looked at him carefully.

"What...what's wrong?" Sun Ran felt a little frightened by his gaze and couldn't help but stand up and take a step back.

Could it be that Xia Yi realized that he was not the real Sun Ran? !

This shouldn't be the case. I couldn't even recognize my own brother, so there's no reason why I would be discovered.

Seeing that he was frightened, Xia Yi chuckled: "Am I scary?"

"No... No, it's not scary." Sun Ran's forced smile was about to give way, so Xia Yi continued, "Your name is Sun Ran, and you're the youngest, right?"

"right"

"Are you interested in being my model? This design competition requires models, and I haven't found a suitable candidate yet. Your figure and appearance are exactly what I expected. Would you consider it?" Xia Yi was not in a hurry to wait for his reply. He stood in front of the mirror and touched his face.

"Why am I the only one who still has baby fat? It's not fair!"

"The soup is here, little one, this is for you." Sun Li brought out two bowls of soup, each with pork ribs and corn. Sun Ran took the bowls and sat down again.

"It's still a little hot, blow it before drinking." Sun Li put the soup on the table for Xia Yi. Seeing that he was pinching his face, he walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think baby fat doesn't look good." Xia Yi picked up the bowl and blew on it twice before drinking up the soup. He took out the tablet and handed it to Sun Ran: "Choose a color, then measure the size later, and come over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to pick out fabrics and accessories."

Sun Ran finished his soup and looked at the colors displayed on the tablet. He originally thought that there were only a few colors of suits, such as the common black, white, red and blue, but there were so many dazzling things in front of him that his eyes were almost dazzled.

"Brother, I can't pick one. Why don't you and Brother Xia pick one? Just go with normal colors." He returned the tablet to Xia Yi and continued to eat the ribs with the bowl in his hand.

"Hmm..." Xia Yi touched his chin and moved a model away, revealing a hidden cabinet filled with accessories to match the clothes, including cufflinks, brooches, tie clips, watches and rings.

"Then I'll take a look. What occasions do you usually attend more often?" Xia Yi looked at the tablet, hesitating between black and white, and picked out a rose brooch made of sapphire, and compared it to Sun Ran.

Sun Li took out his phone and looked through the upcoming schedule, then handed it to Xia Yi: "I'm going to Lao Si's art exhibition next month. There's an elder's birthday party at the end of December, and I need to attend. For now, there are only these two..."

Xia Yi looked at them and finally chose black and silver. As for accessories, he chose black for the brooch and silver for the watch. He drew on the paper with a pen, and soon the outlines of the two clothes appeared on the paper.

"Do you like this? If you like it, I'll arrange it, and then you can bring him here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to choose the fabric." Xia Yi stretched and rubbed his eyes: "I haven't slept well these two days, you have to make it up to me"

"Okay, okay. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll take you to Jiangnan for a trip." Sun Li reached out and rubbed his shoulders. Sun Ran took a look at the tentative plan and was shocked when he saw it.

Although it was just a bunch of lines, the chain on the clothes, the pattern on the collar, the folds on the pants, and the matching shoes were all drawn. Moreover, it was only a short while later, which showed that Xia Yi's ability was beyond words.

"I like it, that's good!" He returned the paper to Xia Yi, who smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. I haven't written for a long time, so I'm a little rusty. I hope you don't mind."

Sun Ran shook his head. How could he dislike it? He couldn't afford to dislike it. This was a double-wing designer who could easily amaze everyone with a single move!

"Oh, by the way, I was just saying that I want my brother to be my model temporarily. The theme of this competition is Lanyu, which focuses on protecting the environment, supplemented by the plot and rendering, so the model is particularly important. I can't find a suitable person for the time being."

Xia Yi was very satisfied with Sun Ran's image and clapped his hands: "Brother is so handsome, he will definitely win the championship with my design! I heard that this design competition is cooperating with Cangyue Group. In addition to the trophy and prize money, the champion team will also have a one-month trip to Finland to see the Northern Lights. And during this month, the team will stay at the Kakslautan Ice and Snow Hotel, and all expenses will be paid by Cangyue Group."

Originally, Sun Li wanted to refuse. After all, Sun Ran was the youngest in the family, and if he rashly showed up in public, he might get into unnecessary trouble.

He didn't want Sun Ran to be involved in the undercurrents between the major families. This was also the reason why the Sun family had never mentioned letting Sun Ran get involved in the family business.

He was the son of Sun's parents who were born in their old age, a flower bud that was not stained by the dust. He couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Well, I need to go back and discuss this with my eldest brother and the others. Sun Ran isn't in good health and needs some time to recuperate." He didn't refuse explicitly, nor did he agree immediately.

What he says doesn't count in this kind of matter. The eldest brother Sun Qi is the head of the Sun family now. Without the eldest brother's approval, he dare not act on his own.

When Sun Ran heard that Champion could go to Finland to see the Northern Lights, his eyes lit up immediately. This way, he could realize his dream of traveling abroad by himself! !

"Okay, I..." Before he could finish his words, Sun Li gave him a warning look, and he shut up in fear. Xia Yi also knew that Sun Li had no say in Sun Ran's affairs, and he would not force him.

"If you really want to go, you can ask your brothers to take you there. They have plenty of money anyway. Then come over tomorrow?" Xia Yi put away the paper, stuffed it into the drawer, and locked it.

What designers care about most is their work. Even if it is a semi-finished product, or even just a bunch of lines that are hard to tell, there is a possibility of it being plagiarized.

Xia Yi used a tape measure to measure his size, then took out his phone to record it. He also asked about the size of the shoes, and put away his phone after noting them down.

"Then I'll come over tomorrow. Thank you, Brother Xia Yi." Sun Ran was tactful enough not to mention participating in the competition anymore. He followed Sun Li out, got in the car and went home.

He looked out the car window at the scenery left behind, feeling depressed.

Sun Li saw Sun Ran's excitement when he heard about going to see the Northern Lights, but in the end, his words didn't count. Sun Qi didn't like Sun Ran running outside every day, and since the quarrel a year ago, Sun Qi has been angry with Sun Ran, so the possibility of agreeing was less than 5%.
