  Does your brother treat you well?

  "Dad and mom, are hoping you'll work in the judicial department, right?"

  Ning Zhiyun's expression changed, and he fell silent...

  The two left the restaurant in the afternoon, and on the way, Ning Zhiyun stopped the car at a parking lot and pulled Ning Xiyu to hail a taxi on the main road. The reason is self-evident, and Ning Xiyu didn't say anything, cooperating with her to get into the taxi.

  The brother and sister sat side by side in the back seat of the taxi, Ning Xi suddenly grasped her sister's hand, carefully examining it as if studying the size and length of those fingers, then pretended to ask nonchalantly.

  "Yuner, how long have you known Chufan? He's very good to you?"

  The air conditioner in the taxi was turned down low, but Ning Zhiyun felt warm inside. Since her brother left, he had been ignoring her, and she thought he had become disgusted with her. But now that he asked, it was as if she had returned to the days of junior high school when her brother always protected her like a guardian angel.

  At that time, as long as he let him touch that fearless boy who was slightly affectionate to himself, he would also pretend to be unaware and ask like now. In the end, basically the whole school knew that if that boy dared to move Ning Zhiyan's little finger, there would always be a risk of being politely persuaded to quit.

  "Yeah, it's been four years, right? He's super good to me!" Ning Zhiyun had a look of admiration and gratitude on his face, secretly apologizing to Chu Fan in his heart: Brother Fan, sorry about this, I'm using you a bit today.

  Having been neglected for too long, Ning Xi was overjoyed by this rare display of concern from Chu Feng, and she became greedy for more. Unconsciously, she pulled Qu Xiang into the conversation as a scapegoat.

  Ning Xi's grip on his hand tightened slightly, and she raised an eyebrow, capturing the faint glimmer that flashed across his deep eyes.

  "Great, that guy finally didn't let me down as my brother, knowing to treat his good brother's sister like his own sister!" Ning Zhiyun deeply sympathized with Ou Chufan, who was originally just being kind to him, but after being said by his brother, it became a utilitarian move to please his brother, and this kindness was even labeled as treating her like a sister.

  "Haha, I don't want him to be my brother at all! I already have the best brother ever!" Ning Zhiyuan continued to laugh carelessly, refusing to kick Qu Chufan to a position that would put his brother at ease.

  Ning Xi's hand stiffened for a moment, and Ning Zhiyuan, who was holding her hand tightly, could naturally feel it. She admitted that she had ulterior motives, but if not, how would she know whether her brother still cared about her as before?

  She held his hand and turned it over, gently stroking the layers of calluses on top, soothing the anger he had been suppressing.

  "Yuner, that Chu Fan guy, has a good family background and looks okay too. From the past till now, he's been changing girlfriends one after another," Ning Xiwei never liked to speak ill of others behind their backs, but for his precious little sister, he didn't mind making an exception, especially since what he said was all true. Chu Fan had been a complete ladies' man since middle school.

  Ning Zhiyun burst out laughing: "Brother, you think that Fan Ge is just okay-looking? You don't know, many white-collar workers come to the restaurant just for him. So, he seems to be spending his free time drinking coffee in different branches, but actually, he's using himself as a living advertisement!"

  Ning Zhiyun gazed at her brother's perfectly chiseled profile, thinking that among all the men she had seen so far, none were more handsome than him. But in her heart, if her brother was a hundred points, then Chu Fan would be at least ninety points.

  "Look, this guy really has no qualms about doing anything, does he think he's a Casanova? Relying on his good looks to drum up business?" It seems that Ning Xiyu has already made Ou Chufan an object of close observation. If the other party oversteps even slightly, they will be put on his list of people to avoid.

  Ning Zhiyun couldn't help but burst out laughing again. If Ou Chufan heard this, he would probably be so angry that he'd spit blood. The appearance he had always been proud of was actually being called a cowherd's hide, and his usual carefree coffee-drinking habit was thought to be selling his looks to attract customers!

  Ning Zhiyun laughed happily, her body unconsciously leaning into Ning Xiyu's arms. Ning Xiyu's hands naturally wrapped around her, holding her close. Seeing that she was laughing so hard that tears were welling up in the corners of her eyes, he gently wiped them away with his fingertips. His hand brushed against her cheek, and as he opened his palm to caress her face, her delicate skin looked even more fragile in his large hands. His dark eyes gazed at her face, slowly clouding over with complex emotions.

  "Yuner, how did your face become so thin?" As she spoke, a look of sympathy filled her eyes, adding to the already complex and unclear emotions, but the unfamiliarity made Ning Zhiyu reluctant to move his gaze away. Suddenly, he felt a kind of anxious and breathless feeling.

  Then she felt his arms suddenly become scorching hot, making her feel like an ant on a hot pot, and in order to cover up her unnaturalness, Ning Zhiyan tried to struggle out of Ning Xizhe's arms, but was tightly held by his powerful arms and couldn't leave.

  "Brother, I'm not thinner, I used to be baby fat, now that I've grown up and my chin has become pointed, it just looks like I've lost weight!"

  Ning Zhiyun explained, but his eyes dodged, and in the end, he didn't dare to face his brother's unfamiliar emotions head-on, so he lowered his eyelids and stared at the tip of his own nose. In his heart, he tried to comfort himself, being hugged by his brother wasn't the first time, was his past self not always fond of snuggling into his arms?

  But even thinking this way, her heart couldn't help but feel uneasy, as the rapid heartbeat was clearly pounding against her eardrums, and a scorching hot wave was slowly spreading from her neck to her face.

  This awkward yet shy feeling left Ning Zhiyan at a loss, but in Ning Xizhe's eyes, her bitten red lips, the evasive and flustered gaze like that of a startled deer, and the flush rising from her neck to her face all lifted his spirits, which had been dampened by Ou Yufan.

  A hint of a smile floated to the corner of her lips, and she lowered her head to gently nuzzle her face with the tip of her high nose. The soft and light touch made Ning Zhiyun feel like a mischievous kitten was scratching her face with its paw, making her feel itchy and strange. This unfamiliar feeling surged up in her heart again, just like a green plant being blocked from sunlight, suddenly bringing on a dizzying sense of itchiness.

  Ning Xi Wei's icy nose tip lightly brushed against her face, sometimes gently and sometimes heavily. Ning Zhi Yun thought his heart was going to jump out from tension, one hand tightly grasping the clothes on his chest. Ning Xi Wei seemed very satisfied with her reaction, moving his nose tip from her face to her forehead, his deep black eyes gazing closely at hers. Ning Zhi Yun couldn't avoid it anymore, stiffening her scalp and lifting her gaze to meet his eyes.

  In the midst of panic, I heard his voice squeezed out from his chest, low and hoarse yet with an inexplicable charm.

  "Yuner, are they good to you like a brother is?"

  Digression

  I'm dying for this ambiguous feeling, the forbidden sense!

  Haha! Zhūzi (Bamboo) is maliciously thinking of a scene where little Yu'ěr (Jade Child) gets eaten by her brother...
