Ning Qing nodded.

"Yes, that's him."

Xiao Shuyun looked up at Ning Qing with a hint of unspoken words in her eyes.

Ning Qing reached out and rubbed her little head.

"What's wrong?".

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Shuyun cautiously spoke.

"Brother, that guy doesn't seem to have a good temper. Is he... nice to you?"

Ning Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw her conflicted little face.

"He treats me very well, don't worry."

Shu Yun frowned slightly, expressing doubt about Ning Qing's words.

That person has such a bad temper, seems difficult to get along with. I wonder if they might beat up my brother in private? Ugh... so annoying.

With his frail appearance, wouldn't he have been knocked down by two punches?

Shu Yun felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it. His brother was his only family in the world. If something happened to his brother, he would have no family left!

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and a worried expression unconsciously appeared on his face.

Ning Qing looked at the little girl's slightly changed expression, wondering what she was imagining.

So, I gently pinched her round cheek.

"What nonsense are you thinking about again? A little person like you should be happy and joyful."

He gently pinched and tugged at her little cheeks with both hands.

"Come on, give your brother a smile."

Unexpectedly, the next moment her hands were forcefully slapped away by a hand that was neither too big nor too small.

Immediately afterwards, a figure of average height stood between the two of them.

Ning Qing looked at the young, inexperienced face in front of her, which was full of vigilance.

Before Ning Qing could even speak.

Xiao Shuyun happily reached out and tugged at the sleeve of the boy who was blocking the two of them.

"Brother Yi, you're back?"

The young boy turned around, looked at Shu Yun who was beaming with joy behind him, and nodded gently.

"Yes, I'm back."

Shu Yun's smile grew even brighter.

That's great! My brother is back, and Brother Yi is back too.

The young boy looked at Shu Yun, who was smiling brightly, and reached out to rub her head.

A slight twitch at the corner of his mouth revealed a faint smile.

He then calmed down and spoke with a serious expression.

"Don't let others get close to you casually in the future. You need to know that you are a young girl, and there is a difference between men and women. You need to keep a certain distance from other men."

His brows furrowed slightly.

"And don't let anyone touch your face, understand?"

Ning Qing...tsk, where did this kid come from? He even dares to lecture his own sister!

He pulled Shu Yun over and made her stand beside him.

He looked at the young boy.

"Hey kid, where did you come from?"

The young boy looked at Ning Qing with displeasure in his eyes.

"That's what I should be asking you: Where are you from? Get out of here right now, or I'll report you to the authorities."

Ning Qing crossed her arms, as if waiting for something.

"Oh, you want to report this to the authorities?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Yun completely lost her composure.

His small frame once again stood in front of Ning Qing, protecting her behind him.

"Brother Yi, you should go now. I never want to see you again."

Upon hearing this, the boy's expression changed drastically.

"Why is that?"

Shu Yun glared at him while also pouting, her small face full of displeasure.

"Why did you report my brother to the authorities? You're so mean! I never want to see you again, I'll never be your friend again, we're breaking up, hmph."

She turned her face away, refusing to look at the dazed little boy's face in front of her.
