Under the dim streetlights, their shadows stretched long as they embraced, their body heat mingling, and no one knew whose heart would flutter first.
Ye Yuan closed her eyes briefly, then released Zhou Jiahong. "Zhou Jiahong, I'm leaving. See you during winter break."
After getting on the bus, she waved goodbye to Zhou Jiahong with reluctance.
The girl's heart fluttered with excitement, a complex mix of sweetness and bitterness welling up inside.
"Ye Yuanyuan, you've got some nerve! Huh? You dare to come all this way by yourself? You think you're all grown up now?" Ye Jingyu was furious when he saw Ye Yuanyuan looking so dejected after getting into the car.
Ye Yuan turned her head to look out the car window, not wanting to pay him any attention.
Ye Jingyu was even angrier when he saw her like this. "Why do you have to learn online dating at such a young age? Are you really not afraid of being tricked into going to some remote mountain forest and never coming back?!"
Ye Yuan found him annoying, "Can you shut up? You're so noisy!"
After saying that, she shooed him to the side, not wanting to sit next to him.
"Fine, fine, you think I'm meddling, huh? If I ever interfere again, I'll be your grandson!" Ye Jingyu angrily switched places with Ye Jingchuan.
Ye Yuan ignored him.
She took Ye Jingchuan's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "Big brother, I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Silly girl, you can't do that again, understand?" Ye Jingchuan couldn't bear to scold her. He had actually raised this younger sister as his own daughter.
When she was just over three months old, her mother passed away. Her father abandoned his two children and went abroad to have fun with another woman.
The younger brother was taken to the ancestral home to be raised by his grandfather, who favored sons over daughters. He felt sorry for his younger sister and raised her little by little.
She has always been very obedient and sensible. He really didn't expect that she would secretly run to such a far place to meet an online friend. Fortunately, nothing bad happened.
"Big brother, I really wanted to come here on my own. My friend Zhou Jiahong is a really nice guy, and I've had a lot of fun here these past few days." Ye Yuan recalled the moments she had spent with Zhou Jiahong over the past few days, her eyes and brows beaming with joy.
Before Ye Jingchuan could say anything, Ye Jingyu sneered, "Heh... I think you're almost bewitched by that bastard!"
Ye Yuan couldn't stand him anymore. She sat up straight, glaring at him angrily, "You're the bastard! How can you be so annoying! Can you please shut up!"
Ye Jingyu was also furious, "You! You really don't know what's good for you!"
Ye Jingchuan gave him a cold look. "Alright, just shut up."
"Big brother, you're just spoiling her!" Ye Jingyu turned his head angrily to look out the car window. He was really angry. That heartless brat! He had worried about her for nothing these past few days!

Zhou Jiahong hadn't been to the shop for several days, but Yu Qiuying still asked, "What have you been doing these past few days?"
"I didn't do anything. A friend I met online came to visit, and I showed them around for a few days," Zhou Jiahong said without hiding anything.
"Girlfriend?" Yu Qiuying thought of Yu Qingmiao saying that he had a girlfriend. Could it be someone he met online?
"She's not my girlfriend," Zhou Jiahong thought to himself. He figured he and Ye Yuan probably wouldn't see each other again.
Thinking this, a vague sense of melancholy suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Alright, I won't interfere with your dating life. It doesn't matter what kind of person you date, as long as you don't mess around," Yu Qiuying said.
Zhou Jiahong was speechless. "No, Mom, why do you always think I'd mess around? I'm such a proper person, do I look like the kind of person who would mess around?"
Yu Qiuying thought to herself, "You don't seem like it. You must have been this kind of person in your past life."
She said coolly, "Just remember this: if you dare to mess around, I'll break your legs."
Zhou Jiahong: "..."
Just as autumn began, a news report triggered nationwide panic.
