Chapter 10:
I stayed in a daze at home for I don't know how many days.
Consuming my own life in a vicious cycle of hunger, binge eating, and vomiting.
I accidentally opened my phone and realized that the day was approaching.
After a simple tidy-up, I wanted to go to the mall to buy a suitable formal attire.
When I looked in the mirror, I realized my cheeks had rapidly become thin, and my pale face lacked color.
I thought for a moment and decided to put on some makeup.
There weren't many people at the mall on weekdays.
I aimlessly wandered through the various floors until I finally found a slim-fitting suit in a shop window.
When I entered the store, a salesperson warmly approached me.
I was about to point to the suit outside the window when I heard a disgusted voice from outside the door, "Sister Yu, this suit is so pretty." What a coincidence.
Tang Chu walked in at that moment and our eyes met, and his deer-like eyes widened with joy as he called out to me, "Ah Zhe." It seemed as if there were no grudges between us.
Jiang Yu stood at the door, coldly looking at me.
How nice, my brother who was abroad has returned home, and my sister accompanies him shopping.
I smiled sarcastically, ignoring them.
"That suit, size L, wrap it up for me."
"Please help me get one too, size L." Tang Chu and I pointed at the suit.
The salesgirl looked apologetic and said, "This style has been selling well this year, and there is only one size L left on the model.
If you handsome guys don't mind, you can take a look at other styles.
Let me check if the company still has stock." Tang Chu frowned, about to speak: "Then..." "Wrap it up for me," I interrupted without hesitation.
The salesgirl agreed and went to get it.
"Ah Zhe," Tang Chu suddenly called me.
I looked at him: "What's up?" "Can you give me this suit?" He looked apologetic, "You know, I really like formal wear, and you rarely wear them..." I felt like I lost face.
I looked at Jiang Yu, she lowered her gaze and didn't look at me, seemingly approving Tang Chu.
It's really ridiculous.
After all these years, he hasn't changed a bit.
He always wants everything I like.
Toys, clothes, rankings...
even family members.
"No," I coldly refused.
Tang Chu was stunned by my rejection and looked at me as I took the packaged clothes.
His eyes became moist again, and he lowered his head and returned to Jiang Yu's side.
Jiang Yu leaned toward him and said something, causing him to perk up with a joyful expression.
He happily held Jiang Yu's hand, but not forgetting to glance at me.
It was as if he was proudly showing off that my sister had become his.
Actually, this suit is completely irrelevant.
What he wants is just for me to see that my sister seems to love him a little more.
But who cares? Anyway, it has always been like this for over a decade.
