Chapter 829: 244 Another night raid on Zheng Yiyun! Zheng Yiyun went to _2 Chapter 829: 244 Another night raid on Zheng Yiyun! Zheng Yiyun went to _2 She decided that no matter who it was, even if it was her own flesh and blood parents asking her to remarry,
she absolutely couldn’t make any compromises. What Zhang Wu had done had utterly crossed the line in her heart.

“Xiao Yan, you shouldn’t call me sister-in-law anymore.”

“I’m not your sister-in-law anymore.”

Li Zhiyan knew that this arranged marriage was a kind of harm to Ding Baijie.

“Alright, from now on, I’ll just call you sister, and you’re going to be my real sister.”

As he spoke, Li Zhiyan gently hugged Ding Baijie, causing her tense body to tremble slightly, instinctively wanting to resist.

But then she thought about being siblings with Li Zhiyan from now on, and her heart wasn’t so guarded anymore.

“Sister…”

“From now on, you should call me first for anything.”

“Tell me, I’ll go buy you a new phone, and get you a new SIM card.”

“It’s time to start everything from scratch.”

Today, Ding Baijie’s phone had been smashed to pieces by Zhang Wu.

And she hadn’t brought her SIM card with her.

“Okay…”

Watching Li Zhiyan about to go out, Ding Baijie stopped him.

“Xiao Yan, let’s go out together, sister.”

Even though the lights were bright inside the hotel, at this moment, Ding Baijie was in a state of great insecurity; she only felt at ease when she saw Li Zhiyan.

“Okay, sister, let’s go together.”

With that, Li Zhiyan took Ding Baijie’s hand.

At this moment, holding hands with Li Zhiyan carried no psychological burden for Ding Baijie.

Because she was truly single now.

And being brother and sister with Li Zhiyan, whatever she did was naturally justified.

After heading downstairs, Li Zhiyan took Ding Baijie to a cell phone store.

“I want this phone in pink, and get a new SIM card, register it in my name.”

“That way, if it’s lost, I can still get a replacement.”

Looking at the cell phones that cost several thousand each, Ding Baijie said, “Xiao Yan, let’s buy this cell phone that’s 999.”

“Sister, let’s go with this Samsung. A smartphone can have WeChat installed; it’ll be much more convenient for us to chat, send photos, and voice messages.”

Hearing that they could send photos and voice messages, Ding Baijie fell silent, silently calculating in her heart the money Li Zhiyan was spending on her without knowing when she could pay it back.

“Little brother, I owe you so much.”

“Sister, a drop of grace in need shall be returned with a spring of gratitude.”

“Now I’m repaying you, and you can do the same in the future.”

Ding Baijie nodded seriously, her eyes already moistening.

After they got the new cell phone and SIM card, Li Zhiyan took Ding Baijie to a small hot pot restaurant specializing in spicy lamb spine.

After ordering a big serving of lamb spine, they sat together, and he took Ding Baijie’s hand.

“Sister, it’s cold, isn’t it? Let me warm you up properly.”

Li Zhiyan’s words made waves of warmth persistently surge in Ding Baijie’s heart.

“It’s not cold.”

After Li Zhiyan gave the phone to Ding Baijie, he then taught her how to turn it on and operate it.

Ding Baijie, using a smartphone for the first time, was clearly not used to it. It took her a while to learn the basics, and then Li Zhiyan downloaded WeChat for her and added his contact.

“Sister, now you can send me photos and voice messages anytime.”

“This is how you send a photo. With this phone, you won’t need to send picture messages anymore.”

As they talked about picture messaging, Ding Baijie’s pretty face started to blush again.

“Xiao Yan, isn’t there a small room in the milk tea shop? Actually, sister can live there; nobody stays there, and it’s completely fine to stay there once the door is shut at night.”

Looking at Ding Baijie, who was so eager to help him save money, Li Zhiyan felt a bit helpless.

She truly was used to being frugal, which is why she acted this way; nowadays, many women lacked such traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

“And besides, I always feel a bit scared about renting a place to stay.”

“While at the milk tea shop at night, I can also watch the door for you, don’t worry, I will pay you the rent, brother.”

Li Zhiyan, holding Ding Baijie’s hand, said, “Sister, if you keep talking about money, I’m really going to get angry!”

“I treat you like a real sister, my own blood sister, and you always see me as an outsider.”

Watching Li Zhiyan’s almost angry look,
Ding Baijie didn’t dare to continue the topic, but she remembered it clearly in her heart, it was okay for her to spend money for her brother, but her brother spending on her behalf was something she needed to remember.

“Alright, little brother, sister won’t talk about this issue anymore.”

“However, I really don’t want to rent a place; that small room is actually quite nice.”

Li Zhiyan thought for a moment about the situation of that small room and refused Ding Baijie’s request.

If it was Wu Qingxian’s store manager’s rest room, a larger room where one could put a sofa, computer, bed, and wardrobe, then Li Zhiyan would have agreed.

That small room, even compared to Wang Shangyan’s little room in the school supermarket, was way too lacking; Wang Shangyan’s little room could at least fit a small bed, and they had made many fond memories there.

The milk tea shop was very small to begin with; sleeping in that small room meant one could only do so curled up.

As for matters of daily life like washing up, it was utterly inconvenient; Li Zhiyan couldn’t imagine how one could live in such a place.

“Sister, let’s not talk about this anymore, I won’t agree to it.”
