C723 If My Brother Misses Me
Ni Chenjun took out the cuff button and took off the shirt that was rolled up to his forearm. He pulled it out and put the cuff buttons on one by one.
The design of the cuff links was very strong, but the material used was very simple. If it was just a rough glance, it would indeed be the same as the rest of the cuff links. But if one could look at it a few more times, they would find that this pair of buttons on the white shirt was actually very eye-catching. The design of the black and white colors was simple and ordinary material that could not be blocked. It could instantly increase a person's temperament and taste in this detail.
Ni Chenjun liked the design of the buttons. He looked back and forth with satisfaction, then took it off and put it back in the box. "Thank you, I like it very much."
Ni Chenxi smiled. "It's good that brother likes it."
Ni Chenjun naturally continued the topic. "How do you feel in America? Are you alright? You haven't even called me. "
Ni Chenxi had been gone for four months. Other than the first few weeks, he had called back. After that, there was almost no news. He hadn't even shown up for his birthday. This was very unusual in the past.
The smile on Ni Chenxi's face gradually disappeared. He pursed his lips and looked down. "It's not very good. I'm not used to the atmosphere over there."
Ni Chenjun slowly looked at him and said softly, "You have lost weight."
Ni Chenxi smiled and said, "The food over there is not good."
The food was not good. The learning mission was heavy, and the consumption was greater than the consumption. Naturally, he lost weight.
Ni Chenjun paused for a moment and said, "How's the harvest in four months in the United States? Can you still keep up with your studies?"
Ni Chenxi still lowered his head. "I can keep up."
At first, he couldn't keep up with his studies. He had been gritting his teeth for a month, and now he could finally catch up with his English Mathematics major.
However, he still didn't have any friends. He didn't want to make friends with those people who laughed at him and were jealous of him. They also felt that his arrogance wasn't worth making friends with, so four months passed. Other people walked in groups on campus, but he was the only one who acted alone.
It was probably because he felt too insecure walking on foreign land that made him, who had been alone for more than ten years, feel the loneliness of being the only otherworldling. Sometimes, he was afraid that something would happen to him, because no one knew who he was. He only thought of him as a idle topic after dinner.
As for the gains, it seemed that other than the increase in knowledge, he didn't get anything that made him feel like he was growing.
Ni Chenjun carefully observed Ni Chenxi's facial expression, which was mostly hidden, and said, "It seems that you are not very happy in America."
Ni Chenxi looked up at him calmly, but quickly lowered his head again. "Fortunately, I am used to it."
In the past, Ni Chenxi liked it. He hated it. He would never say something so ambiguous. Luckily, what kind of adjective was this? It was fine even if it was slightly worse. It seemed that as long as it did not exceed the limit of his endurance... Then everything was fine.
He learned to hide himself.
Ni Chenjun's heart was also bitter. This was how he had come about. He knew that it was very difficult to train himself to hide his true emotions. Sometimes, he had to endure mental torture while enduring it. This kind of repeated restlessness could make people feel depressed. It could even be gloomy.
Ni Chenxi did not say anything for a moment. Ni Chenjun was also silent for a while. He thought for a while and slowly said, "If you don't like America, come back. No matter what, I will always be your brother."
Now it seemed that he still liked Ni Chenxi in the past more. He was bright, active, like a proud sunflower.
Ni Chenxi did need to grow, but he did not want him to grow alone in battle. In the past, he had always been with him. Now, without him, he was going to stay overseas by himself. It was difficult. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.
Ni Chenjun suddenly felt that he was too cruel.
Ni Chenxi, who had his head lowered, finally looked up at him when he heard him. The alienation and coldness in his eyes gradually melted. The corners of his mouth curled up, but he still restrained his smile.
"I have grown up. I already know what choice I should make."
"I don't like America, but in the world, only Princeton can give me a real mathematics learning environment." Ni Chenxi said, "If you miss me, you can call me."
