When I returned home during the holidays, Nuannuan, who was almost fourteen or fifteen years old, had grown into a graceful young girl.

Her delicate appearance, gentle temper and talented academic performance made her the most popular goddess in the school. She was like a bright star hanging high in the sky, visible to everyone and as if within reach, but in fact, she could only be viewed from afar and not touched.

She was the undisputed number one in the high school's campus belle contest.

As she grows older, the childishness between Nuannuan's eyebrows has become less, and the baby fat on her face is almost gone. She is less cute, but more beautiful and graceful.

She was like a pampered child who was brought up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. She was as gentle and beautiful as water. Her voice was soft and thin, which made people feel very comfortable.

"Nuannuan, see you next semester."

"Nuannuan, this is my gift to you."

“Nuan Nuan…”

Today is the last day of the second semester of the first year of high school, which means that we won’t be able to see her for a long time after today. The boys who like Nuannuan almost run to Gu Nuannuan’s classroom with the gifts they have prepared as soon as the class is over.

Otherwise, when Gu An, that sister-con, arrives, not only will they not be able to deliver the gifts but they will also get beaten up.

Then the following situation occurred: although it was already time to finish the exam and go home from school, Nuannuan was blocked in the corridor. The adolescent boys were still more or less shy when looking at her. They stuffed the gifts and love letters into her arms and immediately ran away with red faces.

Nuannuan was fumbling with all sorts of things in her arms, not knowing what to do when a pair of slender, bony fingers pressed the back of her head. She turned around and fell into someone's arms.

There was a familiar smell at the tip of her nose, a faint minty scent on the boy's clothes. Nuannuan blinked her eyes and didn't move. She even raised the corners of her mouth and smiled with curved eyebrows. She took the initiative to rub against the boy's arms, like a beautiful little cat.

"Sorry, my child can't carry so many things. Please take it back."

Although he said please, the boy's eyes were cold and sharp, more like a silent threat.

Moreover, his voice was like ice and snow, seemingly gentle but chilling to the bone, making people dare not look directly at him.

The boys around all looked at Gu Nuannuan who was held in his arms obediently and motionless. Those who had not yet given gifts could only give up with regret.

And at this time, Gu An also came over, carrying his schoolbag, looking as imposing as a lion with its fur standing on end.

"Fuck, you shameless people are giving things to my sister while I'm not around!"

This situation continued unabated, and Gu An was getting fed up with them.

Beside Gu An, Huo Changfeng, who was wearing a school uniform, also frowned, and his dark and deep eyes stared at the boy holding Nuan Nuan with an obscure look.

Now all the boys ran away in a swarm.

Gu An is a good fighter alone, and if he is joined by Huo Changfeng who is even better and more ruthless, that would be even more serious.

These two were known as school bullies in their school, but they were not famous for picking fights, but for protecting others.

The reason is that there is a bully in another school who also likes Nuan Nuan, and when his confession failed, he brought a bunch of his brothers to force her on him. Gu An and Huo Changfeng, who are obsessed with their sister, were so angry that they laughed.

At that time, the two of them were killing everyone. Just the two of them beat up several people on the other side and they were so sick that they had to go to the hospital.

These two became famous in one battle, and after that no one dared to mess with them, whether in their school or other schools.

And the key point is that not only are they good-looking but their academic performance is also good. The teachers all protect them. After the fight, several teachers personally argued with the parents of those students and left them speechless and in disgrace.

With these two people, who would be so stupid as to pick a fight with them?

The only bad thing is that for those boys who like Nuan Nuan, having such a protective brother and friend makes them so scared of getting beaten up when they like her.

Now that they appear, there is no need to think, just run.

"Brother, why are you here?"

After Gu An scared everyone away, he looked at Xie Jingsheng with admiration, as if to say he was very sorry for what he did.

The boy, as cold as snow, let go of the hand that was pressing on the back of Nuannuan's head.

"It's raining, I'll give you an umbrella."

He was holding two black umbrellas in his hands. It was raining outside and the weather was a bit gloomy.

"Come by and have a look."

He didn't say what he was going to see, so Gu An thought he was coming to visit his alma mater.

Nuannuan raised her beautiful smiling face, her eyes looked as bright as stars.

"Jingsheng, when did you come back?"

Xie Jingsheng went to University A to study, and it took about an hour to fly back.

Moreover, whenever he had a vacation of more than three days and there was nothing important to do during that period, he would come back, and every time he came back, he would bring some gifts for Nuannuan.

Therefore, even though they are far apart, the affection between them has not diminished at all but has become even deeper.

They are almost like siblings, except that they are not related by blood.

Xie Jingsheng pinched her nose naturally and intimately.

"Just got back today."

Nuan Nuan exclaimed: "You brought us an umbrella as soon as you came back."

The boy nodded - "Your brothers are all busy, so it's not a big deal."

Nuannuan stood between her brother and Xie Jingsheng, her pink lips slightly raised to reveal a pretty and lovely pear-shaped swirl. Her voice was soft, but a little clearer than when she was a child, and it was very pleasant to hear.

The young man listened patiently.

Huo Changfeng, who was walking a little behind them, seemed to be in a bad mood. He put his hands in his trouser pockets, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Gu An nudged him with his elbow and put his arm around his shoulder with a smile.

"You're not happy about the holiday. Do you have an attitude problem?"

Huo Changfeng took a deep breath - "Nothing, I just feel a little tight in my chest."

I felt depressed when I saw Xie Jingsheng holding Nuannuan.

Huo Changfeng has a deep secret.

He liked Nuannuan since he entered high school, learned more knowledge, understood the awakening of youth, and saw the inner annoyance of those boys when they wrote love letters and gave gifts to Nuannuan. He knew that he might fall in love with that gentle and smiling girl.

但是他不敢說，也不敢像其他男孩子一樣。即便怕被顧安揍也能拿嗎光明正大的去送情書送禮物。

Because they are friends, Nuannuan and Gu An are even more of his benefactors.

Others envied him for being able to stand by the girl and protect her. But in fact, he envied those boys who could openly tell the girl that they liked her.

Even now, when he had almost paid back the money he owed the Gu family, Huo Changfeng was actually still feeling inferior deep down. He felt that he was not worthy of such a good girl, and he was also afraid that if he really said it, he would lose the most important person to him.
