"You—"
"When you’re sick, you should behave. You sneaked out without a word early that morning. Do you think you slipped out of my sight?"
"..." She felt wronged.
"I hurt you once, and I’m trying to make up for it. Would I hurt you again?"
Su Xiaong shifted her gaze away and mumbled softly, "Who knows..."
"Right, who knows. Whoever pretends to be ignorant while knowing the truth is a little troublemaker."
"You’re the one pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth, you—"
"Why are you so agitated? Could it be that you’re the little troublemaker?"
"I am not!"
Watching Su Xiaong argue with him until she was flushed, he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.
"Don’t get so close to ... you might get infected..."
Su Xiaong pushed him away.
Yin Shixiu paused, seeing her awkward deanor, his heart softened, and he pulled her in for a gentle hug, "Little girl, at least let take care of you until you recover from your illness, okay?"
His sudden tenderness made her hands lose strength; they went soft and a bit stiff. Retracting them felt wrong, and keeping them straight was also uncomfortable...
At that mont, the dorm room door opened.
Yin Shixiu slightly released Su Xiaong and turned around. At the door stood a girl...
When Su Xiaong saw the visitor, she was taken aback, "Senior?"
The girl had long curly hair, was tall, and wore high heels. Her na was Xiao Ling, and she was in the sa class as Ren Yixuan.
Xiao Ling smiled awkwardly, "The key was left in the door. I knocked, but no one answered, so I let myself in... I’m here to give you the Christmas Eve Finance College dance invitation."
"Thank you, Senior, it’s just..."
"You and Yixuan had a fight, right?" Xiao Ling smiled, "But this invitation is from him for you."
Su Xiaong was taken aback again.
"Don’t believe it?"
"No, it’s not that..." Su Xiaong glanced at the invitation in her hand, took a deep breath, "Senior, I’ll be there on ti!"
Xiao Ling nodded, then glanced at Yin Shixiu, "And who is this..."
"Oh, he’s—" Su Xiaong was montarily at a loss on how to introduce him. Uncle of Yin ng? But why was Yin ng’s uncle taking care of her?
"I’m her brother."
Yin Shixiu abruptly said.
Su Xiaong imdiately looked at Yin Shixiu with shock, bro... brother?!
"Oh, brother... hello."
Yin Shixiu simply nodded.
"Xiao ng, keep the invitation safe, I’ll head out now."
"Uh-huh, senior, take care."
After Xiao Ling left, she glanced at the tightly closed door, her beautiful eyes narrowing...
Brother? Hah! What kind of brother? Do you take for an idiot? Su Xiaong, you really have no sha! Stringing Ren Yixuan along while fooling around with a mature man, even doing it in the dorm!
Su Xiaong glared fiercely at Yin Shixiu, "Uncle, do you have any sha? At your age, calling yourself a brother? The senior would believe that, as if!"
Yin Shixiu sat back in his chair, crossed his arms, "No matter what you say, she won’t believe it."
"..." Su Xiaong blinked, not understanding what he ant.
Yin Shixiu had no intention of explaining further, he just urged, "Alright, pack your things and let’s go."
"Go? Where to?"
"To my place." Yin Shixiu stated matter-of-factly.
Su Xiaong gave Yin Shixiu a look as if she was seeing a madman, then pointed at herself, "I just managed to escape! You want to go back?!"
Yin Shixiu raised an eyebrow.
Su Xiaong quickly cleared her throat, "No, not escape, I an... it’s not convenient for to stay at your place!"
