After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu was completely unable to fall asleep.
In the pitch-black bedroom, the glow of the phone screen illuminated the boy's sharp, angular face.
Jiang Yu stared at the dial pad, silently reciting Fang Zhi's phone number. She wouldn't have let Liu Siyi call him to tell him not to go out for no reason.
Something must have happened... like someone was planning to sabotage him, and Fang Zhi somehow found out in advance, so he hurriedly notified him.
In the past few years, when he and Zhou Yiming and a group of friends hung out off-campus, he made quite a few enemies and offended a lot of thugs. Several troublemakers from the vocational school tried to ambush him and teach him a lesson when he was alone.
But that's impossible. Fang Zhi knows how well-behaved and quiet he usually is, as everyone has witnessed.
She rarely even interacts with people outside her class, so how could she possibly have the opportunity to meet that group of people?
Jiang Yu couldn't figure it out. After thinking for three seconds, he decided to call the girl.
One reason was that I wanted to find out what was going on from her.
Secondly, half a month has passed since the college entrance examination, and fifteen days have not diminished his feelings for her.
On the contrary, there are signs of deepening, the memory begins to settle, and the girl's every smile and gesture occasionally resurfaces.
He who couldn't see her had the chance to be brought to her today and get through to her on the phone.
Even just hearing her voice would be enough.
The call was answered by a mechanical female voice, which said, "The other party is currently on another call. Please do not hang up."
Jiang Yu then brought the phone from his ear to his face. At this time, Liu Siyi should be on the phone with Fang Zhi. After all, she needed to inform Fang Zhi after notifying him.
Never mind, he can call later.

After informing Jiang Yuzhe, Liu Siyi immediately called Fang Zhi back, saying, "Zhizhi, I've already contacted Jiang Yuzhe and relayed your message to him."
"Mm." Fang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finding a moment of peace. "Thank you, Siyi."
If Jiang Yuzhe is willing to stay at home for a while, his brother won't be able to find him outside. After a while, his feelings might fade, and the matter will be over.
"No need to thank me, we're practically family," Liu Siyi said casually. "But what exactly happened? I've never seen you so flustered."
Everything was piling up inside her, like a mountain about to crush her. At this moment, she also wanted to find an outlet, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke, "My brother might do something to hurt Jiang Yuze."
"Your brother?" Liu Siyi was puzzled. "Why? Why did he hurt Jiang Yuzhe?" Suddenly, she thought of something and continued, "Could it be because he found out that Jiang Yuzhe was pursuing you?"
After saying that, Liu Siyi denied what she had just said, "But that shouldn't be the case. I know some brothers are extremely protective of their sisters, afraid that their precious daughters will be taken advantage of by pigs."
My friend's rambling voice on the phone paused for a moment, and the speakerphone crackled and hissed.
Fang Zhi thought there was something wrong with his phone, but when he took it off, he saw it was a new call notification.
The screen displayed an unfamiliar number. After flashing for about five seconds, the other party hung up.
"But you're an adult now. It's fine for an older brother to help vet potential suitors, but why punish them?"
Liu Siyi's voice returned to normal, and she assumed it was a wrong number or a harassing call, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
Thinking of Qi Shen's outwardly refined and gentle appearance, but his privately doting brotherhood, Liu Siyi couldn't help but laugh. Unaware of the seriousness of the situation, she joked:
"Zhizhi, your brother doesn't really plan to keep you at home and support you for the rest of your life, does he?"
"Siyi." Fang Zhi called out to her after hearing Liu Siyi's words, her clear, round eyes filled with confusion. "There's something I want to tell you, but I really don't know what to do..."
"Hmm?" Liu Siyi sensed the seriousness in her words and gradually straightened her attitude as well. "Zhizhi, you go ahead."
The girl recounted the recent events bit by bit, leaving Liu Siyi speechless with shock.
After a long pause, she finally found her voice and said dryly, "Although we're not... not related by blood... you've still lived together as brother and sister for ten years..."
The older brother coveted his younger sister, and as soon as she came of age, he made a move on her. This is absurd and outrageous.
Fang Zhi stared blankly ahead, muttering, "I really don't know what to do..."
The girl's helplessness was heartbreaking and distressing. Liu Siyi gritted her teeth and said, "Zhizhi, we're going to college after the college entrance exam anyway, so you should apply to A University. Once you get your admission letter from A University, you can tell your brother the truth."
"If he insists on having you as his girlfriend, just refuse and stop using the Qi family's money. I'll figure out how to cover your tuition and living expenses."
"I've severed ties with him."
"Siyi." Fang Zhi forced a smile, her voice very soft, "It's really great to have a friend like you."
Siyi genuinely wanted to solve her problem, but things weren't that simple. Her inability to accept her brother's love was different from severing ties with him.
How many decades does a person have?
She owes her brother for the time, energy, money, and so on he wasted on her over the past ten years.
Fang Zhi knew that he might never be able to pay off his debts in his lifetime.
Not long after the call ended, Wang Ma returned from the Qi family's house and saw the girl sitting quietly in the living room.
She walked closer and saw the girl's bare feet on the floor, and asked, "Why did you come down without shoes?"
