Hearing her rather modest words, Chu Nanfeng's surprise deepened.
Looking at her petite figure, with her waist-length, slightly wavy blonde hair flowing in the wind, she had the air of a girl next door, seemingly only sixteen or seventeen years old. It was hard to imagine that such a world-destroying weapon came from her hands.
"Hey, big brother, don't underestimate me. I'm not as young as you think. I'm only two years younger than the eldest."
Seemingly sensing Chu Nanfeng's thoughts, Leng Ruxue reached out her small hand and gently patted her chest before retorting.
"Two years younger than Liyue, twenty..."

Leng Ruxue gently raised her eyes and glanced at Chu Liyue, who was carefully protecting Xiao Wujie as they advanced. She couldn't help but lean her head closer to Chu Nanfeng.

Sometimes, he wondered if Chu Mingcheng hadn't hidden his talents and hadn't become a national agent, would Chu Liyue and Xiao Wujie have been as lively, cheerful, innocent, and adorable as Leng Ruxue?
But there are no "what ifs" in this world, and all he could do was try his best to protect them for a while.
You two... must be happy!
