"What are you doing? You're like a lost soul, staring at your phone non-stop! Are you in love?" Si Yutong sipped her milk tea, looking at her curiously, a sly glint in her eyes. She put down her cup and leaned forward, trying to find a clue from her expression.

Mu Yanran frantically flipped her phone upside down on the table like a startled rabbit, as if it held some shameful secret. She sighed deeply, slumped in her seat, and said weakly, "What's the point of falling in love? What's there to talk about? It's better to just eat, drink, and have fun."

"Hey, you actually said that?" Si Yutong asked curiously, "I really can't believe that you, a woman who has never been in love and has never been hurt by love, are so disappointed in love?"

Mu Yanran wasn't disappointed; she was afraid. If she really dated, she always felt that the person she met would be unsatisfactory. Moreover, her brother was pursuing her now. Would she dare to talk about it?

If I really talk to him, won’t I be even more annoyed?

"Isn't this true? People say that love is a luxury, but I don't dare to ask for it." Mu Yanran replied.

"What is there to be afraid of? Our little Princess Mu is so beautiful, a good person, and has a good family background. She will definitely meet a good man." Although her love life was not as she wished, it did not affect her recognition of love at all. She believed that at some point in the future, she would definitely meet someone she loved, and she would love herself wholeheartedly.

"It depends on fate." Mu Yanran replied, but she felt that the probability was a bit low.

"Don't you already have one?" Si Yutong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of playfulness. She stared at the other person closely, as if trying to see through his eyes to her true thoughts. She thought to herself: Humph, don't think I don't know the situation! Her so-called brother always comes to see her from time to time, there must be something fishy.

At first, Si Yutong thought nothing of it, dismissing it as a normal interaction between siblings. However, as time went on, she gradually realized there was more to the story. Every time she saw the two of them together, the subtle atmosphere made her suspicious. So, she began to pay close attention to the details of their interactions.

After careful observation, Si Yutong became increasingly certain of her initial suspicions—her brother held a special bond with the sister before him. Otherwise, why would he be so attentive and attentive to her every move? This level of concern went far beyond what a typical brother should have. Thinking of this, Si Yutong couldn't help but chuckle inwardly: So that's how it is... It seems this love story is about to begin!

Mu Yanran was sipping from a straw when she suddenly froze, a hint of doubt in her eyes. She slowly put down the cup and looked directly at the man, as if trying to see the truth hidden deep within.

Had all her caution these past few days been in vain? Could it be that she had already sensed something? Countless thoughts flashed through Mu Yanran's mind, causing her originally calm mood to instantly become tense.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything around them became unusually quiet. Mu Yanran stared at the person in front of her, trying to find the answer from his expression and eyes, but she could never be sure whether he had really discovered anything.

During this brief yet prolonged eye contact, Mu Yanran silently prayed that she wouldn't be seen through. At the same time, she was also rapidly thinking about a response plan. If she was really discovered, how could she explain herself to avoid danger?

"Who is it?" she asked casually.

"My brother." Unexpectedly, Si Yutong blurted out without any hesitation.

Mu Yanran was frightened by her blunt words and started coughing.

"Why are you so surprised? I scared you so much that you started coughing." Si Yutong said playfully.

Mu Yanran finally recovered and struggled, "What nonsense are you talking about? What does your brother have to do with me?"

"Don't give me that. Don't think I don't know. At least I know that my brother is definitely interested in you." Si Yutong said seriously.

Mu Yanran's eyes flickered but she didn't say anything. She didn't know how to refute him because she had guessed right. He was indeed interested in her and had confessed his feelings to her.

When Si Yutong saw her expression, she knew that she was right, and her brother had also confessed his feelings. Otherwise, with her personality, it would probably take her a long time to discover it on her own.

It was rare that her brother actually took the initiative, not holding back or dragging his feet. Was he confessing his feelings? And so quickly? She had thought that, given his old man's personality, he would at least wait until she graduated before considering it. It seemed that she had underestimated him. However, it was better this way. He could act sooner and bring her home sooner to avoid being cheated. She quite liked Yanran, and she had no objection to her becoming her sister-in-law. The only drawback was that she was young, while her brother was already interested in her. If it were someone else, she would definitely disapprove and persuade Yanran not to agree. However, if it was her brother, she would not hinder him. After all, it is not easy for a cast iron tree to bloom, and she didn't want him to become a lonely old man by then.

"My brother confessed to you?" Si Yutong asked her with a burning gaze.

"Yeah." Mu Yanran nodded under her gaze, because she felt that she would know whether she said it or not.

"So how do you feel?"

"I have no idea."

"You don't know?" Si Yutong frowned. What kind of answer was that? He didn't even know what it felt like to be confessed to?

It's not Mu Yanran's fault. She was just a little confused at the time. After he confessed his feelings, she didn't think about anything at all. She just thought about what to do and how to answer him. Her mind was blank.

"Alas, my mind was blank at that time, so I didn't care about my feelings."

"So do you like my brother?"

"have no idea."

The answer to her was still unknown, because she didn't understand whether her love for him was that kind of love, or just the love a sister has for her brother. Now, her mind was very confused, she didn't know how to say anything, her mind was very confused.
