"I want to go home."

Feng Guiyu snapped out of her daze, glanced at the current situation, then looked at Liu Nian, and thought it would be better for her to go home and change her clothes as soon as possible.

She glanced at Xu Yu, her eyes conveying a clear message, before turning to Liu Nian and saying, "Then let's go home."

Xu Yu understood everything as soon as he received Feng Guiyu's look. He stopped making any moves and simply picked up the wine glass next to him and took a sip as a cover.

Everyone else was speechless. What's going on? They're living together? Are they a couple?!

The assistant director was devastated. It's over! He'd actually assigned a minor role to Young Master Feng's woman—a maidservant no less! His days were numbered!!

Right now, I've secretly decided that I need to give Liu Nian a new role tomorrow.

Xu Yu, however, didn't think too much about it and watched the two leave with an ambiguous expression.

Feng Guiyu didn't spare a single glance for them from beginning to end; his gaze remained fixed on the girl next to him until he left. He was incredibly gentle.

On their way home, Liu Nian remained silent the entire way, which was unlike her. Feng Guiyu couldn't help but ask her.

"Bad mood?"

Liu Nian shook her head: "No! Why would you think that, brother?"

"You're not saying anything, is something on your mind?"

Liu Nian thought for a moment and nodded: "Big brother, do you think I'm bad-looking?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Guiyu actually began to scrutinize her carefully.

He had always thought Liu Nian was very beautiful. When Feng Guitu carried her back to the Feng family when she was a little girl, you could tell from her features that she would definitely grow up to be a great beauty.

So he said very sincerely, "Not bad at all! She looks like an angel."

So what do you think of me?

"Cough...cough cough..."

Feng Guiyu choked on his own saliva.

Liu Nian's words truly shocked him.

Liu Nian reached out and gently patted his back, asking with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." I was just a little scared.

Liu Nian nodded and continued, "You still haven't answered me? What does Big Brother think of me?"

Why do you ask that?

Without hesitation, Liu Nian said, "I want to be in a relationship."

Feng Guiyu was stunned for a moment. Looking at Liu Nian's expectant face, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable: "Niannian, you are still young. There's no rush to fall in love."

Liu Nian pouted: "You're not young anymore, you're already twenty-three, it's time to start dating."

Feng Guiyu: "..."

He fell silent.

Liu Nian glanced at him furtively, intending to deliver a strong dose of medicine: "If you don't trust me, brother, we can talk about it together!"

Feng Guiyu: "!!!" He stared in disbelief, his eyes widening as he glanced sideways at Liu Nian. "What did you say?"

I told you I wanted to date you.

Feng Guiyu was now completely bewildered.

"Is it because brother doesn't want to?"

Feng Guiyu fell silent: "..." Should he refuse? He seemed reluctant.

Feng Guiyu only regarded Liu Nian as a younger sister, but when he heard her say that she wanted to be in a relationship, he felt inexplicably angry.

Seeing his reaction, Liu Nian understood immediately, her smile vanished, and she hung her head, remaining silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Feng Guiyu was a little unaccustomed to Liu Nian's sudden silence, thinking that his failure to answer had hurt the little girl's feelings.

He scratched his head for a while, and finally managed to utter a sentence.

"You are very good."

To think that a dignified criminal investigation captain would be so conflicted in front of a little girl... who would believe it if word got out! People would probably laugh at him.

Liu Nian: "..." Is what I'm about to say next?

You are wonderful, I am not worthy of you!

This is basically giving her a "friend zone" card!

Liu Nian was in low spirits and said sullenly, "I was being immature, I'm sorry."

Feng Guiyu was stunned.

For him, the passing years...

Because of his work, he is not often at home, and even when he does have time, he rarely sees Liu Nian.

It's fair to say that he's five years older than Liu Nian, and the generation gap is enormous. Liu Nian is still in school, while he has already entered the workforce.

I really didn't know that Liu Nian had feelings for him!

It would be a lie to say I wasn't shocked.

Theoretically speaking, such a year is not viewed favorably and is not supported.

But when Liu Nian said those words, he had to admit that he felt a strange pang of fear.

This palpitation was so inappropriate. Feng Guiyu felt inexplicably ashamed for having such thoughts about his sister. Although they weren't related by blood, it was still... something he shouldn't have. Could it be that his lack of interest in women over the years was the reason he had these thoughts?

Should he find a woman?

Feng Guiyu knew he was much older than Liu Nian, and he had never had any other thoughts about her except treating her as a younger sister.

However, after the events of tonight, he found himself unable to sleep due to persistent insomnia.

The moment I close my eyes, I think about the passing years.

The meaning of "Liu Nian" is self-evident, but he just can't understand why Liu Nian hasn't treated him like an older brother all these years.

This problem baffled the criminal investigation captain, causing him to lose sleep.
