As Gu Jingyan approached.

The boy couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: Wow, Kexin's brothers are all so handsome!

Last time, the older brother was cool, sassy, ​​and roguish; this time, he's gentle and refined.

This family has such amazing good looks!

I'm so envious!

The boy is extremely attracted to good-looking guys; he's particularly fond of them.

With a big smile, she waved to Gu Jingyan, "Hello, brother!"

Gu Jingyan glanced at him from head to toe. This was the person Zichen said Kexin was dating.

She's reasonably good-looking.

He wasn't very tall either.

I wonder how my studies are going?

No matter how he looked at it, he didn't find it pleasing to the eye.

She didn't smile at the boy, and her expression was completely blank. Out of politeness, he gave a curt "hmm."

In the past, Gu Jingyan would have greeted anyone who greeted him with a smile.

He just doesn't like this one today.

I just didn't want to give him a nice look.

The smile on the boy's face slowly faded.

I thought to myself, this older brother looks gentler than the previous one, but his temper is no different from the previous one. Neither of them seems easy to get along with.

Gu Jingyan then took Lin Kexin's schoolbag from the boy.

Let's go.

Lin Kexin stood there, not understanding what he meant, and asked him, "Where are you going?"

"I'll take you home."

Gu Jingyan reached out and took her hand.

The moment she was touched, Lin Kexin's entire body stiffened.

She stared intently at their clasped hands with an incredulous look.

He held my hand!

He was the one who took the hand first!

Lin Kexin was both surprised and delighted.

My face felt hot too.

This was the first time they had ever held hands like this.

This feeling is wonderful.

Gu Jingyan didn't know what was wrong with him today.

Seeing other boys getting close to her makes her inexplicably irritable and uncomfortable.

This was also the first time he held her hand.

The little girl's hands were small and soft; he could hold them in one hand.

After waving goodbye to the boy, Lin Kexin followed Gu Jingyan to the car.

Why did he come to pick me up today?

What does he mean by that?

Gu Jingyan released her hand.

The blush on Lin Kexin's face had not yet faded; the faint pink mark on her face made her look exceptionally beautiful.

She withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassedly. "Why didn't my brother come to pick me up today?"

"He had something to do and asked me to pick you up." Gu Jingyan opened the passenger door.

It turned out that my brother had asked him to pick me up.

She thought he had offered to pick her up on his own initiative.

My initial joy vanished considerably after hearing those words.

Lin Kexin didn't go along with him, but opened the back door herself and sat down.

Gu Jingyan turned to look at her actions and smiled helplessly, "So you're treating me like a driver."

"Really not going to sit in the front?" Gu Jingyan looked at her and asked gently.

Lin Kexin firmly replied, "I won't sit."

"Okay." If I'm going to be a driver, then I'll be a driver.

Gu Jingyan had no choice but to close the car door for her.

He got into the car and drove her home.

Lin Kexin sat in the back without saying a word.

The car was quiet.

Gu Jingyan glanced at her through the rearview mirror.

The little girl seemed unhappy.

She seems to be distancing herself from him lately. She's not as enthusiastic as before.

He broke the silence first, asking, "Want some candy?"

He remembered that she loved eating candy when she was little, especially White Rabbit milk candy.

Lin Kexin: "I'm not a child anymore, and I don't like eating candy now."

Gu Jingyan responded with an "oh," and in his eyes, she was just a little girl who never grew up and loved sweets.

Looking at her through the rearview mirror, he tentatively asked, "Was that guy your boyfriend today?"

"no."

That boy was her friend.

We met recently.

So he wasn't my boyfriend after all.

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief. His uneasy heart settled back into place, mixed with a touch of joy.

Lin Kexin stared at him and asked, "Does my brother want me to have a boyfriend?"

She felt nervous, yet eagerly awaited his answer.

Gu Jingyan, who was driving, paused for a moment, then said, "You're still young, so focus on your studies. It's good that you don't have a boyfriend."

Still so young, still so young!

What Lin Kexin disliked most was hearing him say that he was still young.

She denied his words, somewhat annoyed, "I'm not young anymore."

It means she's not young anymore and is old enough to be in a relationship.

Why does he always see her as a child?

But in his eyes, she was just a child who never grew up.

The car was parked in front of the Lin family villa.

Before Gu Jingyan could even get out of the car, she opened the car door for her.

Lin Kexin has already gotten off the bus.

"Thank you for bringing me back, goodbye."

Gu Jingyan picked up the pink backpack from the passenger seat, opened the car door, and got out. "Hey, I don't need the backpack anymore."

She had left in such a hurry that she had forgotten, but then she turned back and said, "Thank you."

He took the schoolbag, finished speaking, and went through the gate without looking back.

Gu Jingyan looked at the little girl's angry expression and couldn't understand why she was angry.

Gu Jingyan sent Lin Zichen a message, saying that he had another surgery to perform that evening.

Dude, your sister has been safely delivered home.

Lin Zichen received the message and replied with an "ok" emoji.

Thanks, bro. I'll treat you to drinks next time.

Gu Jingyan drove away after seeing Lin Kexin enter the villa.

Lin Kexin returned to her bedroom.

A person lies on the bed, sulking.

She kept thinking about how he took her hand and said those things to her today.

My mind is in a mess.

I remember when she was five years old, she was playing in the park.

A large dog suddenly darted out and barked wildly at her, scaring Lin Kexin so much that she burst into tears.

Seeing this, Gu Jingyan, who was passing by, rushed forward, picked up a stone from the ground, and chased the dog away.

He bent down and used a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Don't cry. I've chased the dog away. It's alright now."

That was the first time she saw him.

He was like a superhero, protecting her.

The moment she saw him, she stopped crying and looked up at him.

I was blown away.

This is the best-looking brother she has ever seen.

She blinked her big, watery eyes and looked very earnestly at the older brother who had saved her. "Brother, you saved me. I have no way to repay you. How about I marry you when I grow up?"

That's how it is in the TV series she sees; an older sister is saved by an older brother, and she says something like that to that brother.

The older brother in front of her is handsome, and she wants to marry him and become his wife when she grows up.

Gu Jingyan was amused by her words.

What a tiny little thing.

"Okay, we'll talk about it when you're older." The boy smiled beautifully, like a gentle breeze.

But a thoughtless remark from the boy has been deeply etched in the girl's heart for so many years.
