But hearing it from his mouth made her feel the blood under her skin boil, filled with shame.
"Mm..."
"Thank... thank you, brother."
She had already explained—she had reviewed the wrong chapter all night and fallen asleep during the exam... She shouldn't have to apologize again, right? Wuwu, she wanted to cry.
Suddenly using the reduplicated form to address him, Lu Tingzhou felt a tightening below.
He was a little reluctant to let her go.
"Won't you stay a bit longer?" Her brother's eyes rippled.
"No, brother..."
He seemed to want to keep her, but was afraid it would annoy her. Anyway, today had been satisfying enough.
In the silent corridor, heartbeats oddly blended.
Lu Tingzhou reached out, intending to smooth her hair. This side braid was so beautiful; why didn't she always wear it like this?
Glancing down, he suddenly noticed that the brooch on her chest was crooked. Earlier, when she was holding the suit, she had accidentally brushed against it. So he settled for the next best thing.
His big hand slowly covered the gold brooch, gently turning it straight: "This is new?"
"Nice color," her brother commented.
Cheng Buxi nodded, also looking down at her chest, and said, "Brother always has good taste."
Lu Tingzhou's wrist paused. "I gave it?"
He showed a slightly strange expression, nodded, and said to himself, "I don't remember."
Wan Yi, standing behind, felt her body suddenly stiffen.

Author's note:
(⊙o⊙)… It's going to start getting a little angsty soon (warning)
Sometimes the elder brother doesn't speak up, and his little sister is also stubborn. Arguments are inevitable.
Little couple coming online. The second volume is almost over with a few more chapters. The third volume will be more fun, I personally think. Looking forward to it, rubbing hands.
This novel's main text will probably have 6 volumes. Updates are slow. Regarding updates, I'm really sorry. I'm not a full-time writer. I'm usually quite busy. I've really been trying hard to write. I'll write when I have free time TT. Please don't scold me.
In July, I'll try to update 6 days and rest 1. If you like it, you can leave a comment. The child really needs a little motivation to move forward.
This chapter will still give out red envelopes.
