Nanzhi started explaining the topic again.

The boy got closer and closer, and just as he was about to help pick up the petals that had fallen on Nanzhi's shoulder, he felt a chill run down his spine. The cold and eerie feeling made him a little scared. His outstretched hand trembled, and just then Nanzhi turned around to look at him. He was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.

Nanzhi noticed his strange expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

The boy turned his head and looked around. "I don't know why, but I feel like someone is watching me from the shadows."

Nanzhi looked around and said, "There's nothing there."

The boy laughed and said, "I'm probably overthinking it. Let's continue with the problem."

"Okay." Nan Zhi turned her gaze away, and as she moved, the petals on her shoulder slipped to the ground.

Almost as soon as she turned around, Craig looked over again.

Without using his mind, he simply stood in the shadows, like a despicable voyeur, spying on the ambiguous interactions between the young man and woman.

Those indifferent eyes grew colder and colder.

*

You sat stubbornly outside, seemingly protesting against me.

When Joss spoke to Nanzhi, his voice was very gentle, just like when he called me "brother" later.

I leaned forward, wanting to get a full look at the woman's features.

I was wondering why we don't look alike at all.

Before Joss refused, I arrived at the villa entrance early in the morning to wait for him.

Jie Zhao: ? ? ?

Just as Jie Zhao was about to leave with the book, she remembered something and asked, "By the way, why do his brother's hair color and pupils look so similar to his?"

As the car window rolled up, Nanzhi saw a deep, muscular upper jaw.

Joss followed me toward the car. "Jie Zhao, thank him for coming to pick you up."

Nan Zhi smiled mysteriously, "Someone gave me a ride."

Xie Zhaoyi was in the next room, listening to their conversation in a daze.

The bodyguard at the villa entrance gave Cynthia a white umbrella, which Cynthia tilted slightly towards Joss.

The other person's appearance was simply stunning, but when I saw those eyes that seemed to have no warmth, that chill down my spine from yesterday returned. I only felt hot and inexplicably shivered.

The big leather shoes were slippery in the water. Joss managed to stand firm, but before he could fall into the rain, a small hand suddenly wrapped around his waist.

“I am your biological brother. To be precise, you are an orphan, and I adopted you.”

But the more Cynthia looked at it, the more irritating it became.

Joss was wearing a skirt that went past her knees today, and the hem swayed with her slender thighs, making her quite eye-catching.

When they arrived at the door, she said to Xinuo, "Sister Xinuo, it's raining today, please tell the driver that you don't need to take me."

You have an umbrella, and Nanzhi shares half of hers with you: "The car is outside, and there's a lot of water."

Joss stared at me, looking even angrier. "You're in charge. Even if Blue refuses, you're determined to have Nanzhi."

Jie Zhaoyi stood in the rain of the world, just watching that scene.

I used some force and easily ripped open the unlocked car door, then looked down at the boy outside.

All I could say was, "Wait a little longer, it will be gone."

But when I came to the living room in the middle of the night wanting to drink some blood plasma, I was in a panic and smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

Cynthia thought about your question casually for a moment and wondered if there was anyone who could be good enough for you.

After Nanzhi finished speaking, several other classmates waved to Qiao Si.

Cynthia finally looked up and said, "I'm not worthy of him."

The group consisted of many women and men of similar age, exuding a sunny aura. This was similar to the good relationship between Blue and the others. However, Nan Zhi behind him seemed to have no good intentions towards Joss. The two of them walking together didn't seem to be a good match at all.

Cynthia was naturally a woman of few words, so she knew how to handle such a lively scene and simply said whatever came to mind.

I tried to keep my tone stern, "Come up here, you take him to school."

As Jie Zhao was explaining, Cynthia's indifferent voice came from inside, "Come up."

As soon as you left, the newspaper in Xie Zhaoyi's hand crumpled.

Joss breathed on the car window and carefully wrote Nanzhi's name, stroke by stroke.

"Oh, how will you get there?"

Nan Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, we're not here yet."

Before getting off the bus, Joss put down his backpack and sat properly in the window seat, far away from Cynthia.

At first, Cynthia thought that you were willing to let Nanzhi get close to you in order to spite me.

When I saw Joss come out, I hurried down to greet him.

...

With that, she opened the door and went out.

The car door was closed, and the car was about to start, when someone knocked on the car window from the inside.

He was talking while tilting his head to look out the window.

"Hmm? Camping..." Joss pondered, "Just the two of you?"

"Cole, let's go together."

Afraid of falling, you instinctively gripped the other person's clothes tightly. When you looked up at them, a faint blush rose on your fair face.

Upon hearing this, Joss's eyes seemed to light up, and he obediently got out of the car.

That question lingered in Cynthia's mind like a curse. I closed my eyes, as if trying to focus on something else.

Nan Zhi slept for a few more minutes, then came downstairs and saw Claire sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. She called out "Brother!" and without saying anything, picked up a piece of bread and walked out.

Joss looked at me, neither speaking nor moving.

If the two were siblings, that would be quite unusual.

"Jie Zhaoyi, I...who am I?"

"I'm your brother, I'm here to see you off."

I don't know why, but suddenly I felt something was off.
