It took nearly an hour to travel from the Qi family villa to Shangde School, a journey that should have taken half an hour.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Fang Zhi slowly opened her eyes, her voice hoarse and dazed from just waking up, "Has brother arrived?"

Qi Shen hummed in agreement. "We've arrived."

Fang Zhi reached out and rubbed his sleepy eyes, when he heard a man's slow, magnetic voice.

"There was a bowl of hangover soup in my bedroom this morning. Wang Ma said that Zhizhi went to my room last night, is that right?"

The previously chaotic consciousness quickly returned to normal upon hearing "last night" and "hangover soup," as if someone had grabbed it by the throat.

He realized he was choking and didn't know what to say.

Silence and awkwardness filled the cramped carriage.

Qi Shen unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned to the side. "What did I do to Zhizhi last night that made you want to avoid your brother?"

It turned out that her brother had realized she was deliberately avoiding him.

Fang Zhi's pupils contracted slightly, and her clenched fingers turned slightly white. She had thought she had acted very well.

The girl pursed her lips and remained silent, attempting to use silence to represent the truth, but Qi Shen saw through her thoughts.

A warm, large hand landed on the back of Fang Zhi's head, the movement gentle yet firm and powerful.

He forced the girl to turn her head and look at him.

Their eyes met. Qi Shen's expression was gentle, and his speech was clear and measured.

"Zhizhi, don't criminals need to be informed of their crimes before being sentenced?"

"You should always tell me what I've done so I know how to deal with it."

"Does Zhizhi intend to hide from her brother for the rest of her life?"

Given her brother's kindness to her, she certainly couldn't avoid him forever. After struggling internally for a long time, she finally managed to speak, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"My brother kissed me."

"I see." Qi Shen smiled slightly at the girl. "I was drunk. I apologize to Zhizhi."

Before the girl could react, he continued, "Would you dislike your brother because he kissed Zhizhi?"

Fang Zhi was taken aback by the question and began to think about it.

Did she feel disgusted? No, after the incident she just didn't know how to face him, not a bit of disgust.

As the girl lowered her head in deep thought, Qi Shen's eyes were gloomy and obsessive, and he bent his knuckles on the hand resting on her head.

If she dislikes or cannot accept it, then there's no need for her to go to this school today.

Only when the girl has been nurtured and educated to the point that she no longer dislikes his intimacy can she be allowed to leave.

Under the man's intense gaze, Fang Zhi shook his head and honestly replied, "No."

The gloom instantly dissipated, and Qi Shen smiled warmly and gently, "I'm sorry, brother apologizes to Zhizhi again for what happened last night."

Fang Zhi looked at the man's handsome face with a somewhat bewildered expression and subconsciously replied, "It's okay."
