"Oh, you're here to stock up?" Zhou Ping fiddled with a calculator on the counter, glancing at Ye Qing, who was pushing a shopping cart by the door and flashing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Hehe, I'll just take a little bit."

"You've almost bankrupted the supermarket."

"No way, I only have a small appetite," Ye Qing said with a smirk.

Pushing a shopping cart, I wandered between the shelves, stuffing any potato chips or puffed snacks I wanted into the cart.

However, Ye Qing only took one day's worth, and would come back after she finished eating.

Zhou Ping said irritably, "You're just lying at home watching TV and eating snacks all day. Get out of here when school starts."

"Mom, I've only been home for a few days, and you've already changed your attitude so quickly!" Ye Qing couldn't help but pout as she grabbed various flavors of Cantonese Candy, Handsome Boy's Awesome Candy, and Wa Potato and stuffed them into the shopping cart.

That's about enough for the day, but there's one last thing to finish up – the essential Coke.

Ye Qing was bending down to grab a Coke when a pair of clean, white hands handed her a large bottle of Coke.

"Here, here."

Ye Qing looked up and saw a supermarket clerk, that cute little girl.

She looks gentle and weak, and very obedient, like someone who is easy to bully.

Ye Qing's heart almost melted the moment she saw An Youhe.

"How did you know I wanted this?" Ye Qing was pleasantly surprised, but did not immediately take the cola.

“I saw it a few days ago.”

Ye Qing's lips curled up, and her eyebrows and eyes curved upwards, making the beauty mark at the corner of her eye even more noticeable.

She had noticed this girl a few days ago. She wore her work clothes neatly and efficiently. She didn't talk much and seemed to have some social anxiety.

Every time Ye Qing looked at her, her face would turn red, she would purse her lips, and look away.

Like a frightened little rabbit.

I didn't expect this girl to be so attentive to details and to pay special attention to her.

Ye Qing didn't notice that the girl's hands, which were holding the cola, were still trembling slightly.

All I could see was An You's fair and tender face, still bearing the lingering baby fat, her cheeks rosy and plump.

It looks very soft, just like that. I wonder what it feels like to squeeze it?

Thinking this, the wicked claws had already reached for the innocent little rabbit's cheek...

"Hey bro, why are you using so much force? Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

The devil's claws were caught off guard and intercepted by the outstretched hand.

Ye Zhou gripped Ye Qing's wrist tightly, pulled An Youhe's collar back a few steps, and then released Ye Qing's hand.

He picked up the Coke from An Youhe's hand and threw it into the shopping cart next to Ye Qing.

Their eyes were filled with a declaration of war.

When Ye Zhou looked at An Youhe, his expression changed completely, and his eyes were practically drooling.

"You can go ahead and get busy. Ye Qing is all set."

"Okay, sure." The girl obediently agreed and then went to work behind the shelves.

Ye Qing brushed her long coral hair back and couldn't help but say, "Could you please stop calling your sister by her full name every time you get angry?"

Ye Zhou scrutinized her with his eyes, "What were you trying to do just now?"

"What else could I possibly want to do?" Ye Qing asked nonchalantly, but then she immediately sensed something was amiss.

"What's your relationship with this Xiao An?" Ye Qing squinted at Ye Zhou.

This question left Ye Zhou speechless.

Ye Qing raised one corner of her lips, looking as if she knew perfectly well what was going on.

"You like her! Are you two dating now?"

Ye Zhou froze in place again, suddenly realizing that he had no way to answer the question.

He always believed it in his heart.

However, it seems that An Youhe's consent has not been obtained yet.

They've held hands.

We've already kissed.

However, he has been overlooking one problem.

That's the relationship between the two people.

He always thought that the two of them understood each other implicitly, that they didn't need to say anything, and that they would naturally get together.

But is that really what An Youhe thinks?

Seeing his younger brother looking disheveled in the wind, Ye Qing thought to himself that he hadn't even sorted out his own affairs yet, so he shouldn't worry about other people's business.

"That little brother named Liu Tian is quite fun, I kind of like him, but I feel like he's such a straight-laced guy, so clueless!"

I'm going back to school in a few days. If I don't win him over in the next few days, will someone else snatch him away when he goes to college? You should also ask him what he thinks, but be reserved, and whatever you do, don't tell him you like him! Just ask him what his impression of me is. These last few days are crucial; I need to finish this quickly!

Back home, Ye Zhou lay on the sofa watching the news.

Liu Tian sent a message.

Is your sister leaving soon?

"Yes, it should be in a few days. How far have you two progressed?" Ye Zhou asked.

"Ugh, don't even mention it. I think Sister Qing probably has a really bad impression of me. The day we first met, she kindly offered to take me to my hotel, but I threw up all over her... Ugh, so uncomfortable..."

"Well done," Ye Zhou praised.

Liu Tian really helped him vent his anger. Leaving his own younger brother abandoned on the roadside in the middle of the night—wasn't he afraid he'd be picked up by a homeless person?!

"Huh? Lao Zhou, you're not angry with me?"

"Why blame you? Even your own sister isn't as important as your best brother." Ye Zhou's fingertips tapped on the phone screen.

"Hey, good brother, we're inseparable."

Ye Zhou: "...Typo..."

"Hehe, I did it on purpose [raising an eyebrow] [subtle hint]"

"...You've grown up. You're already using internet memes on your own. The boy who used to clutch his chest is gone forever."

"I'm not kidding you anymore. Your sister is leaving soon, so I need to hurry up too. How did you successfully confess your feelings to your girlfriend? Teach me some tips."

Confess your feelings?

Confess your feelings.

The hand that was tapping the screen stopped.

Liu Tian sent a message: "Holy crap, you didn't confess to An Youhe, did you? I always thought you two were together a long time ago, holy crap!"

"No confession..."

"You've confessed to Jiang Jiayan 99 times before, and now it's An Youhe's turn? Have you forgotten? Are you kidding me, bro? An Youhe, you've been playing with me every day, but you haven't even asked for a title?"

“She’s different from Jiang Jiayan. I thought she was my destiny…”

"Heh, Lao Zhou, don't blame me for being sarcastic, but you're starting to sound like a typical guy. Believe it or not, you'll get rejected if you confess your feelings."

When Ye Zhou saw the word "rejection," his pupils dilated, and he completely lost his composure.

What if all of this is just wishful thinking on my part, and not An Youhe's true feelings?

Or when it comes to holding hands or kissing, An Youhe doesn't like it, but she's too embarrassed to refuse...

Speaking of confessing one's feelings...

Ye Zhou had some psychological trauma because he had never successfully confessed his feelings before...
