Lin Xiao didn't have time to react before he suddenly realized what the kid was saying.
Hey, are you really that mature? You're just a middle school student, you can't be in a relationship!
Qiao Zhaoning seemed to hear something in Lin Xiao's eyes and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
“My dear Xiao, are you mistaken about something? Even if I am a junior high school student, my comprehension is definitely superior to yours, and Father also provides this kind of training.”
Although Qiao Zhaoning is good-looking, people who don't know him well would probably think he's not a shy person.
But in front of Lin Xiao, this young man, she always loses herself and almost doesn't recognize Lin Xiao anymore.
Lin Xiao originally wanted to refuse, but Qiao Zhaoning found out and used other words to refuse her, making it impossible for Lin Xiao to refuse.
"Since you want to see if Senior Nan likes you, that's perfect! Let's use these to prove it! Pretend to be a couple and take this opportunity to make our relationship public."
“If he really cares, he will take action. If it weren’t for Lin Xiao, you wouldn’t have to be sad. Isn’t that right?”
When Qiao Zhaoning said those words, he admitted that he had a selfish desire to fall in love with this person during his lifetime, even if he felt it was impossible, he still wanted to try.
Opportunities are something you have to fight for to have them.
"good."
Since Lin Xiao appeared at the Qiao family after getting completely drunk on his coming-of-age ceremony, and then returned to the Nan family, Nan Lichuan had been concerned about him for a long time.
He didn't know what he cared about, but he knew he didn't like this person always hanging out with those boys!
Nan Lichuan used one hand to support Lin Xiao, who was trying to enter the room, and pressed him down in the middle of the doorway. He hooked Lin Xiao's chin with his slender fingers and was slightly angry when he saw that the boy avoided his gaze.
Not only should he not be looking at me with his face, but he should be looking at me with his body and soul too!
Why are you afraid to look at me and avoid me?
Nan Lichuan didn't know why he blurted out what he was thinking, and he did so in an arrogant manner.
[Ding! Romance character Nan Lichuan's favorability increased by 60]
When Lin Xiao's mind cleared up, he realized when the favorability rating had been raised. Could it be that his brother was jealous just now, which was why he was so angry?
"Brother, what are you talking about? I've never been hiding from you."
"And brother, can you let go? Your hand is hurting a little from holding it."
Lin Xiao struggled a few times, but found that he still couldn't break free from the circle that Nan Lichuan was holding him in. He got angry. Even if he deliberately wanted to provoke Nan Lichuan, he couldn't treat him like this!
The little guy's dissatisfaction was written all over his face. He didn't care about that; what he cared more about was the scent on Lin Xiao—whose scent it was.
Xiao Xiao couldn't possibly play with strangers, nor could she play with anyone else, which means there was only one possibility.
"You went to see Qiao Zhaoning?"
Without questioning or accusing, but simply stating the facts, Lin Xiao was still slightly surprised that they had found him so quickly.
But his reaction made him even happier, because this person still cared about him; otherwise, why would he ask such a question? He could have simply ignored him.
But, brother, you like me, why don't you tell me, brother...
The feeling of powerlessness was already exhausting for Lin Xiao, and he didn't want to be disappointed again, at least not now.
"Senior Nan, Xiao and I are together now. I will take good care of him from now on."
The sudden appearance of Qiao Zhaoning made Nan Lichuan raise an eyebrow. He turned his head to look at the boy, who was about the same height as him, wondering what his mindset was when he appeared before him.
Is she Lin Xiao's lover, or her manager's assistant? But whichever it is, I feel she is more qualified for the position than I am.
Perhaps he is more suitable, but the thought of the little one I've taken care of since childhood suddenly becoming someone else's lover weighs even heavier on my heart.
"Zhaoning? What are you doing here? Didn't you say you were going back?"
If you're going to act, you have to be a little intimate, right? Besides, he'd already promised to give Qiao Zhaoning a chance. He didn't mean to hurt his brother first, you know.
Yes, he's wicked; he wants the person he likes to like him back, and he only cares about himself and not others.
Such a morbid emotion terrifies even him; others probably feel even more so.
"I was worried about you, so I wanted to come back and check on you, and also see if there's anything in your tutoring that needs improvement."
A strong tone was rarely seen in front of Qiao Zhaoning, who was usually silent. If there was anyone to blame for all these changes, it was the young man in front of her.
Nan Lichuan raised an eyebrow, remaining silent. Tutoring? Oh, right, he forgot that this guy was the tutor personally selected by that person, and the two of them valued him highly.
So, does this mean he's trying to provoke us? Even if we can't be lovers, when has Nan Lichuan ever been underestimated like this?
"As the older brother, you should always care about your younger brother's life. As for things like tutoring, I don't think you need to bother with that."
Qiao Zhaoning was just as assertive as Nan Lichuan, even though he was a year ahead of her; when it came to love, they were equal.
"Really? As Xiao's lover and manager's assistant, I think I'm more suited for this position."
Lin Xiao covered her face, speechless. Why did they have to argue now of all times? Can I just say something like, "Man is made of iron, food is steel, you'll get hungry if you skip a meal"?
To ease the tension between the two, he specifically asked the butler to come up and say that he was bringing food, while the woman was away.
The boy pretended to be angry and indifferently scrolled through his phone, ignoring the two people who were clearly older than him but acted like they were petty. So unlovable!
Lin Xiao was curious about why his usually normal internet speed was so strange today. He noticed a trending topic at the top of his feed.
News reports included phrases like, "The girlfriend of Nan Jia Shao, the young master of the Nan family, has been confirmed. She is Li Qin, a popular young actress. Their relationship was exposed at the coming-of-age ceremony of Nan Li Chuan's younger brother, Lin Xiao."
"It seems you'll be very busy lately, Senior Nan. How about we talk about it later? Tutoring is a very small matter, just leave it to me."
Qiao Zhaoning took the textbook from Nan Lichuan's hand very naturally, and even held him in her arms, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it was unclear.
This incident caused Nan Lichuan to feel indignant for a long time afterward, and he kept saying that this person must have deliberately tried to anger him.
"Xiao Xiao, listen to me, it's not like that. I don't know what Li Qin did."
Anyway, I didn't do any of these things myself. Don't you know what kind of person my brother is? Do I need to use this traffic to continue climbing the ladder?
