"Bang..."

However, as soon as he lowered his head, he was punched in the face.

Although it was very light and didn't hurt at all, Jun Yu's face turned ashen instantly.

"Jun Yu, you did this on purpose, didn't you!"

Junran was truly furious, panting heavily as she said, "Why did you do that in front of so many people? Do you even know what I...I..."

Do you know how embarrassed he was!

"I think you're not here because of all those people, but because of that Murong Qin."

Jun Yu looked up, his gaze fixed on Jun Ran, "Do you like her?"

"You... what nonsense are you spouting!"

Upon hearing this, Junran's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes flickered as she said, "I... I've only just met her. Don't tarnish her reputation."

He currently only has a slight liking for Murong Qin; it's too early to say he likes her.

But he felt that if things developed further, he would probably like it.

Seeing that shy look that was clearly the first stirrings of love, Jun Yu felt a surge of passion.

Unable to contain herself, she stood up, grabbed his shoulder, and snapped, "Look at your expression! You still say you didn't!"

"Why are you angry? Why should I tell you whether I like her or not?"

Hearing Jun Yu's shout and feeling embarrassed in front of everyone, Jun Ran also got angry. She looked up and frowned, saying, "Don't you think you're meddling too much?"

"I…"

Upon hearing this, Jun Yu was taken aback, but calmed down slightly.

Yes, he's just Xiaoran's cousin. What right does he have to care who Xiaoran likes?

But Xiao Ran is the person he likes, the person he's liked for so many years. Does he really have to let go now?

"I don't need to use the restroom, take me back!" Junran turned her head away and said coldly.

Now, he doesn't want to have any further involvement with Jun Yu.

In truth, he had always had a vague suspicion in his heart, but he dared not think too much about it, for fear that this brotherhood would disappear.

In the empire, Jun Yu was his only true brother, and he didn't want to lose him.

I know you're anxious.

Jun Yu was silent for a moment, then closed his eyes and squatted down again. "I won't look."

Then, he opened the door and went out.

Looking at that lonely figure, Junran's eyes dimmed. He felt sorry for Junyu and didn't want Junyu to be sad.

But some things really need to be dealt with decisively, otherwise it won't be good for either of them.

Furthermore, the changes in himself were what frightened him the most.

"You're back?"

When the two returned, although the expressions on everyone's faces didn't change, the atmosphere was noticeably tense.

"Oh right, I was so busy talking that I forgot to introduce Aunt Bei and Miss Murong."

Junran was the first to break the deadlock, looking at Junyu and saying, "This is my cousin Junyu, who is also my little sister's cousin."

"Jun Yu greets Senior Bei and Miss Murong."

Jun Yu suppressed his inner turmoil and tried his best to step forward and bow calmly.

"Junyu, I'll call you Xiaoyu too."

Seeing Jun Yu's composed and upright demeanor, Bei Qingling thought that his actions earlier must have been unintentional, and her resentment lessened somewhat. She smiled and said, "If you don't mind, please call me Aunt Bei like Xiao Ran does."

"Yes, I've met Aunt Bei."

Upon hearing this, Jun Yu readily agreed without hesitation.

"Yes, they are all good children." Bei Qingling nodded with a smile.

Then, the room fell silent again for a moment.

"Big brother, this is for you."
