To cover her embarrassment, Su Yiqing reached out and ruffled Xiao Ruan's soft hair. "If you like being with Gu Chen, neither your older brother nor your other brothers will stop you from doing so in the future."
However, no matter how old you are mentally, you are still just a child now, and Gu Chen is a boy.
Please promise your older brother you'll keep a polite distance from him, okay?
