Xi Ran spent some time at the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts and gradually got used to life in Beijing.
It was definitely not something I was used to at first.
However, with Xi Yan by my side, my school life was not bad.
Xi Yan would visit her whenever he had free time, and the two siblings often ate together. Given that they were frequently seen together, people who didn't know the inside story suspected that they were a couple.
Xi Yan thought it was fine if people misunderstood him.
After all, she helped him fend off a lot of unwanted romantic advances.
Xi Ran looked helplessly at her younger brother, "You're letting people misunderstand that I'm your girlfriend without coming forward to clarify. This is really affecting your chances of finding a partner."
Xi Yan looked indifferent. "Think what you want. I don't care anyway, since I can't afford to support a girlfriend right now."
Xi Ran patiently persuaded him, because she didn't want her silly younger brother to remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.
"Maybe there's someone out there willing to suffer with you?"
"There's absolutely no need for that!"
"Why? Doesn't that just prove that this is one of the rare forms of true love?"
Xi Yan looked at Xi Ran seriously and said, "If I love her, I wouldn't want her to suffer with me. I want her to have a better life."
Xi Ran was speechless.
My silly younger brother is always so single-minded.
That's the logic, but you can't just stay single for life just for the sake of making a living, can you?
Besides, this kind of bread can't be earned overnight. Just earn it slowly, and one day you'll be able to live the life you want.
"If there's a suitable match, we should have a proper talk. Bread stays put and won't run away; we can earn it slowly. But people are different. If we miss out, we'll regret it. As long as we work hard, we'll eventually be able to live the life we want."
Xi Yan nodded in agreement.
"Sister! I agree with your idea, but I won't do it. I've had enough of the hard times before, and I don't want to drag someone down with me to relive those hard times."
Xi Ran was stunned. She thought that the hardships of the past had only had a profound impact on her, but she did not expect that Xi Yan's harm was no less than hers.
Fortunately, Chu Jiangyi appeared by her side and healed her, but Xi Yan wasn't so lucky...
His instinctive refusal made Xi Ran a little worried.
"But there are always differences..."
"Sis! I'll handle my own affairs, don't worry about it."
Xi Ran had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Okay! I won't interfere with your dating life from now on."
"Thank you, sister!"
Xi Ran forced a bitter smile.
"By the way! Your brother-in-law is treating us to dinner tonight, are you going?"
Xi Yan is very perceptive; he's not the kind of person who likes to be a third wheel.
"I won't go. You and your brother-in-law have a good time. By the way, you two be careful, after all, you're still studying."
Xi Ran blushed with embarrassment. "I know, you're so long-winded."
"Don't think I'm being long-winded, but you're still a student, it's not a good time to have a baby in your belly."
"I know, you're too long-winded, old lady. You're only in the classroom and dorm these days. If this keeps up, you'll definitely get sick from boredom. How about we have dinner together tonight to cheer ourselves up?"
"No, thank you! Have fun!"
After finishing his lunch, Xi Yan got up and left.
He had only walked halfway when he turned back to look at Xi Ran, a slight smile playing on his lips. He had just received a message from his brother-in-law, telling him not to show up at his date with Xi Ran under any circumstances, or he would face the consequences.
He didn't have the guts to be so rude, after all, his brother-in-law's beatings were quite painful.
Being a third wheel is quite awkward.
It's more comfortable to stay in the dorm and read.
Xi Ran watched Xi Yan's retreating figure and sighed silently.
If she hadn't also come to Beijing to study, and dragged Xi Yan around everywhere during holidays, this kid would definitely have gotten sick from boredom.
