"What's wrong with that? It's not like my brother will know, anyway. Besides, I'm just speaking the truth!"
...
Chu Lingxiu had wanted to smooth things over, but unfortunately, her friend had no intention of doing so. There was simply nothing to be done.
"Alright, alright, I get it. You two are a classic case of devoted siblings!"
Shen Nian said with good-natured exasperation as she looked at Chu Lingxiu and Qi Yunzhi.
"Heh heh, you're jealous, aren't you!"
"What's there for me to be jealous of? I have a brother too! And my brother is far from stupid. He's very smart, you know!"
The thought of her brother made Shen Nian smile. It really had been some time since she'd seen her family after coming to B City.
'I really do miss them.'
"Xiao Nian, you have a brother?"
"That's right. I don't just have an older brother; I have a younger brother, too!"
"That's so nice. I can tell you and your siblings are close. I'm envious."
"But aren't you and your brother close, too?"
