The thing she didn’t know was that Shi Yi had already caught her actions from the beginning. After some time, when Yu Zhiyi met Shi Yi’s eyes, she knew she had been caught red-handed.
She straightened her back with a rather guilty conscience, stared at the front without blinking, and didn’t dare to glance at it again.
“Let me guess what you are thinking. ‘What gift will my brother give?’” Shi Yi asked directly.
“No…” She was embarrassed to admit it.
“Yiyi, but I have to tell you that I didn’t prepare any birthday presents for this year,” Shi Yi said with a serious look.
Hearing such words, the young girl couldn’t believe her ears, and she subconsciously looked at Shi Yi with winded eyes.
Shi Yi shook his head and sighed. “Oh, I have been busy with my studies recently, and I don’t have time to go shopping. Even the cake was brought by my mother.”
‘Oh, is that so? It’s ok, Yiyi; you really can’t blame your brother.’ How could Yu Zhiyi blame Shi Yi after understanding his situation? “It’s ok, brother. I really don’t want any presents.”
Shi Yi lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders twice.
Seeing that Yu Zhiyi felt that something was wrong, she tilted her neck, looked at Shi Yi carefully, and saw that he was laughing. Only then did she realise she had been fooled by Shi Yi.
The young girl became embarrassed; she hurriedly stepped in front of Shi Yi and covered the young lad’s mouth with her hands, saying, “Don’t laugh anymore!”
Seeing the girl’s embarrassed look, Shi Yi couldn’t help but laugh more, but when his lips touched the palm of the girl’s hand, his heartbeat suddenly increased. Realising something, he quickly took a step back, and his back hit the edge of the desk behind him.
Yu Zhiyi was sure that Shi Yi had prepared a gift, so she boldly stretched out her hand and asked for her gift. “Brother, I know you have prepared a gift. So you should give it to me, right?”
“I really didn’t prepare.” He still insisted on this.
“That won’t work. I gave you a gift on your birthday.”
Shi Yi was three months older than Yu Zhiyi, and she didn’t forget to give a present every year.
“Hmm…” He laughed and said, “Well, I will give you a good thing.”
“What?”
He opened the drawer and took out a small box without any decorations on it. Then Shi Yi handed her the small box and said, “Open it and have a look.”
Yu Zhiyi was very curious, and she opened it slowly and saw a white-coloured mobile phone inside the box. She was shocked, and she did not take out the phone. After looking at the phone in a daze for a while, she finally opened her mouth. “Brother… I can’t accept this.
“Why, don’t you like it?” Shi Yi frowned. He didn’t expect this reaction at all.
“Mobile phones… are expensive. I don’t need a mobile phone for school now. It’s a waste of money to buy it.” She bit her lower lip lightly and continued. “Is it possible to return this?”
Shi Yi closed his eyes and sighed softly. ‘So you are worried about money?’
Shi Yi bought this phone using the prize money he won from a provincial competition. “Don’t worry. I didn’t ask for money from my parents. Have you forgotten that I’m also making money on my own?” he said while tapping on the table.
Hearing those words, Yu Zhiyi felt sad deep inside her. Shi Yi always treated her kindly without expecting anything in exchange. He did a lot of things for her and paid for many things.
Time, energy, money, and other valuable resources.
The little girl who was left by her parents didn’t understand why she was treated well by good people.
She was not pessimistic, but sometimes she felt that everything was too good to be true.
Shi Yi touched her chin and lifted her small face to check her eyes, asking, “Are you going to cry?”
She moved her head from side to side, tried her best not to cry, and softly said, “I just think that my brother is really unfortunate to spend money.” ‘He had been the most outstanding and brilliant person since childhood, but I always caused small problems for him. I’d prefer if my brother didn’t remember my birthday instead of giving me a very expensive gift.’
The boy let out a deep breath, gently touched her head, and calmly said, “If I truly forgot your birthday, you might end up crying the whole night.”
“I won’t cry…” The little mouth squashed, but fortunately no tears shed.
Shi Yi quickly removed the phone from the box and held it in one hand. He then placed it in his palm and said, “Also, I am not doing things without wanting something in return. I am investing.”
“investment?”
‘Treating me well, is this called investment?’
“When you grow up, you can repay me.”
“What if I grow up and don’t have any abilities? Then?” Such smart Shi Yi invested in her? Is it too uneconomical? She didn’t even believe in herself.
“No.” Shi Yi was extra firm. “As long as you stay by my side, I won’t lose.”

Shi Yi finally coaxed the young girl to accept his present.
Yu Zhiyi had never used a mobile phone, but as she had used Shi Yi’s phone before, she got familiar with her phone quickly.
“Find someone you might contact later, and store the number.” Shi Yi commanded the young girl.
Yu Zhiyi thought about it and directly entered a few numbers.
She remembered Shi Yi’s, her grandmother’s, and Mr. and Mrs. Shi’s numbers, so she saved them directly to the phone. She had written Qiao Lezhi’s, Li Shaozhou’s, and Jiang Mier’s numbers before, so she added them to her contact list as well.
Shi Yi looked at the contact list and said, after thinking for a while, “Yiyi, I think it’s not safe to save the number by the name. Although the chance is very small, if someone gets your phone, something might happen. So you can save them by using a name you only know.”
“Oh oh.” She changed her grandmother’s name.
As for Shi Yi, she saw the number “Eleven” in his contact number, and she thought carefully. “Brother, what do you think I name you as “eleven”? So no one else knows it is you; only I know!”
“Eleven…” He thought for a while and shook his head. “This number is not very good.”
“Well then, I will type your name then.”
When she was about to start typing, Shi Yi suddenly stretched out his hand to block it and took the phone from her hand.
Yu Zhiyi gave him a puzzled look.
Shi Yi entered a string of characters, saved it, and handed the phone to Yu Zhiyi.
Yu Zhiyi took the phone and saw that the original name had been changed to “A thirteen”.
“What does A thirteen mean?”
“Begin with the letter A.”
“I know this, but what does thirteen mean?”
“Think about it yourself.” He didn’t directly explain.
Yu Zhiyi hurriedly opened the web browser on her phone and searched for the meaning of “Contact Remarks 13”.
In Western countries, thirteen was an inauspicious number, representing evil, demons, diseases, and disasters.
But in China, thirteen was an auspicious and noble number.

Yu Zhiyi’s roommates found out that she had a new mobile phone after her birthday. They were very envious. “Yiyi, your phone is so beautiful. I remember when I was watching variety shows, I saw an advertisement about this phone.”
“Did your mom and dad buy this for you? I wish I had it too.” Jiang Mier didn’t know about Yu Zhiyi’s family or her parents, so she thought her parents had bought the phone for her. Otherwise, who could have bought something so expensive other than her parents?
Qiao Lezhi wanted to stop Jiang Mier from asking about Yu Zhiyi’s parents, but it was too late for that.
Yu Zhiyi tightened her fingers and shook her head, muttering, “No.”
“Ah? Who gave it to you?” Jiang Mier was curious.
“Brother gave it.”
“Shi Yi? Shi Yi gave you your phone?”
“Yes.”
“Wow, Shi Yi is kind to you too!” Jiang Mier couldn’t help but clap and commend their admirable bond as siblings. “Unfortunately, my mother didn’t give birth to a brother. If I have a brother, I could also be a sister who is being spoiled by my brother.”
Qiao Lezhi poured herself a glass of water and took a sip before adding, “Shi Yi is not Yiyi’s own brother, or you can go back and ask your mother why didn’t your neighbour next door’s brother play with you when you were a child.”
“Ah! When you say that, then I’m more worried.”
Although Shi Yi was Yu Zhiyi’s neighbour’s brother, he spoiled Yu Zhiyi so much. It was so enviable!
“Then he should like you.”
