Wind Chaser: Rebirth in the 18th Year of the Republic of China

"Okay, if you come."

Shen Jinzhen's voice was melodious and pleasant, yet gentle, which made Wei Ruolai's heartbeat at the door suddenly speed up.

"Good night, Jinzhen."

There was some smile and doting in his voice, which stunned Shen Jinzhen. Before he could say anything, there was the sound of a door closing.

This time, it shouldn’t be an auditory hallucination, right?

Shen Jinzhen lowered his head and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The next morning, Shen Jinzhen woke up at dawn.

She did not forget the purpose of her return. After putting on her clothes, she came to her brother's room.

Su Cishu had already taken Xiao Yu'er downstairs. At this time, Shen Tunan was tying his tie in front of the mirror. When he saw Shen Jinzhen appear at the door, he looked a little lazy and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Brother, let's discuss something."

Most of the money in Shen Jinzhen's hands had been distributed to the people in Qibao Street. The remaining money was used to maintain daily expenses and was not enough for Wei Ruolai.

She looked at her brother in a flattering manner.

Shen Tunan didn't turn around, looked at the mirror and asked, "Tell me first, what's the matter."

"The piano is broken and needs to be repaired. It costs three hundred dollars."

Shen Jinzhen felt a little uneasy. This was not the first time she had told a white lie to her brother, but it was indeed for the purpose of borrowing money.

"Which one? Piano or violin?"

Shen Tunan asked again, he hadn't listened to Jinzhen or touched the piano for a while.

"A steel, no, a violin, the one I brought back from Germany."

Shen Jinzhen originally wanted to talk about the piano, which is expensive to make and repair, but when he remembered that his sister-in-law had touched it two days ago, he changed the subject and talked about the violin.

Shen Tunan looked at Jin Zhen with some doubt, "You bought this violin for less than three hundred yuan, and the repair cost is so expensive. Did you break it into pieces?"

Shen Jinzhen looked a little embarrassed. He should have found another excuse earlier. Now, not only would he not be able to borrow money, but he would also be ridiculed by his brother.

"Here you go," Shen Tunan took out three hundred from his wallet, thought about it, and took out another hundred. "If you don't have money, you can just tell me. There's no need to find such a lame excuse."

He is not a fool. He can see the flicker in Jinzhen's eyes and the guilt when he speaks.

Shen Tunan has always been very fond of his younger sister and would never make things too difficult for her.

"Thank you, brother."

Seeing Shen Tunan's calm expression, Shen Jinzhen felt a little uncomfortable.

After this incident, I may have few opportunities to meet my brother again. Even if I meet him, we will probably be strangers.

Seeing that Jin Zhen was in a bad mood, Shen Tunan teased, "If I had known that my sister could be so moved by 300 yuan, I would have given you 300 yuan every month, so that you wouldn't have to make me angry."

Hearing the teasing, Shen Jinzhen pretended to be angry and patted his brother on the back, "Would I be that kind of person? I will still point out if you are wrong, so I won't be swayed by money."

"Okay, okay, you won't, let's go downstairs and eat."

Seeing Jinzhen return to his previous cheerful self, Shen Tunan laughed along.

I'm glad you're okay. He was afraid that something might have happened to him and he wouldn't tell him.

When the two of them came downstairs, Wei Ruolai had already dressed and was sitting on the sofa. When he saw Shen Jinzhen coming downstairs, he immediately called out happily, "Jinzhen."

Shen Tunan paused for a moment as he was walking down the stairs. He asked in disbelief, "Assistant Wei, what did you just say?"
