"Brother, I can't sleep."

"Hmm, I can tell." Ji Mian sat on the bed, rubbing her temples, suppressing her morning grumpiness as always.

Feng Guang climbed onto the bed, sat beside him, and tugged at his sleeve. "I saw on TV that... someone jumped off a building because of the pressure of the college entrance exam. I'm afraid you might jump off a building too."

This reason left Ji Mian both amused and exasperated. "So, you came to see me?"

"I want to sleep with you tonight." Feng Guang pursed her lips. "Brother, if you're not here, I won't be able to take good care of Xiao You by myself."

Ji Mian glanced at her bare feet. "Maybe you should learn to take care of yourself first."

"I'm fine. The nanny says I'm becoming more and more sensible."

It was like casting pearls before swine. Ji Mian sighed, then covered her feet with the blanket. If she caught a cold, it would be a huge problem. "Today, you can sleep here, but the old rules..."

"I won't kick off the covers or move around much; I'll be very quiet." This has become her routine when she comes to sleep in.

Ji Mian raised his hand and touched the top of her head. She closed her eyes like a comfortable cat. Generally speaking, he rarely made such intimate gestures towards her. He didn't like being touched by others, and naturally he didn't like touching others either. For some reason, he suddenly stopped.

He was startled to realize that his aversion to her seemed to be slowly decreasing.

He remained motionless for a long time. She looked up and asked, "Brother?"

Five years later, she had grown up a lot and become much prettier. With a bewildered look, the girl softly uttered the word "brother," which sounded incredibly pleasant.

Ji Mian's gaze flickered, she withdrew her hand, and said coldly, "It's time to sleep."

After the lights were turned off, the room was quiet for a few minutes before faint sounds could be heard again.

"Brother, are you asleep?" she asked cautiously.

After a very long time, long enough for her to close her eyes and fall asleep, he finally responded, "No."

“Brother…” Feng Guang grabbed his hand in bed, “I’m lending you my good luck, you’ll definitely do well on the test tomorrow.”

"Lend me your good luck...then aren't you just an unlucky girl?"

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if my brother is glorious or unlucky, as long as he can fulfill his wish." Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she was about to fall asleep.

A few minutes later, he asked in a detached tone, "Why are you so nice to me?"

"Because...because Fengguang likes her brother..." The voice was as soft as a dream; she was indeed asleep.

She slept soundly, but Ji Mian had difficulty falling asleep.

After the college entrance examination, it was time to wait for the admission notice. Ji Mian received the admission notice from the best medical university in the next city without any pressure.

Ji You was reluctant to let him go, so she hugged Ji Mian and cried her heart out. Ji You cried, and Feng Guang also started crying. The two girls' duet was enough to make the Xia family mansion cry itself to pieces.

Ji Mian finally managed to coax Ji You with the reason that he would come back often, but when he tried to coax Feng Guang with the same reason, it didn't work.

Because Feng Guang and Ji You had different triggers for crying, she sobbed, "What if my brother sees a pretty older sister at university and forgets about me?"

Ji Mian didn't know how to answer this question for a moment. He squatted down, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said in a kind voice, "Don't worry, Fengguang is the most beautiful, so your brother won't forget Fengguang because of those sisters."

"Then... will you miss me?"

"meeting."

She finally stopped crying and stuffed the Donald Duck piggy bank into his hand. "I promised to take care of you, brother. This is all my savings. Please use it sparingly, brother... I really have no money left."

She was a bit of a penny-pincher and felt a pang of regret, but she still gave him her savings from many years of hard work.

Ji Mian wanted to laugh but couldn't. He stroked her cheek and said with feelings he himself didn't understand, "Okay, I'll use it sparingly."
