Qin Shuling, who was standing beside him, looked at him with her chin in one hand, swaying the glass of red wine with a smile on her face.

She thought Brother Gu Pei and the people around him were really interesting.

"Brother Gu Pei, would you like to drink something?" Qin Shuling smiled sweetly like a girl next door.

Gu Pei took her wine glass and said, "Minors are not allowed to drink."

He looked at Qin Xian again, "Brother Xian, don't you care about Sister Lingling?"

Qin Xian: “…” I have to dare to take charge!

Qin Shuling let Gu Pei take the wine glass away, blinked, and said with a smile: "Brother Gu Pei, I am an adult now."

She leaned close to Gu Pei's ear, her voice was very soft amid the laughter and laughter, with some girlish playfulness, "We can have a relationship now, do you want to try it with me?"

Gu Pei felt a little drunk for a moment. There was a lot of laughter all around him, but Qin Shuling's cheerful voice reached his ears clearly.

He stared at Qin Shuling with eyes wide open, a little dazed, "You, what did you say?"

Qin Shuling looked at him with a smile, and asked closer, "Brother Gu Pei, can't you see that I like you?"

It was still that harmless, sweet face, but at this moment, Gu Pei felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

He looked at Qin Xian next to him, who was smiling and discussing what happened in the game with Shen Ran.

Qin Xian secretly wiped his sweat and pretended not to hear what Qin Shuling had just said to Gu Pei.

Brother Pei, you just wish yourself good luck.

Gu Pei and Qin Xian are brothers, and they have always treated Qin Shuling as their sister, so they are still a little overwhelmed at the moment.

But after she confessed her feelings, he suddenly realized that those inadvertent details in the past seemed to hide her preference for him.

And the distance between him and her seemed to have gradually surpassed that of ordinary friends without them noticing.

Gu Pei has always known that Qin Shuling, as the daughter of the Qin family, is definitely not as simple as she seems, but he is happy to indulge her as a sister. However, he did not expect that she would have such thoughts about him.

But after all, she is his good brother's sister, so he has to be more cautious.

So Gu Pei pulled Qin Shuling out and ran to a secluded place in the courtyard of the Ruan family's old house.

When he stopped, Gu Pei's heart was beating very fast, like a student who was in a premature love relationship and was afraid of being caught by the teacher.

Qin Shuling looked at him holding her hand, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

The bright moon hung on the branches. The two stood under the tree, and all around them was quiet.

Gu Pei met Qin Shuling's eyes that were reflecting the bright moonlight. He seemed to be burned by her scorching gaze and let go of her hand embarrassedly.

Qin Shuling was not uncomfortable at all. She leaned lazily against the tree trunk and looked up at Gu Pei with a smile in her eyes and eyebrows. "Brother Gu Pei, you haven't given me an answer yet."

Gu Pei felt his face getting hot. He wanted to act like a brother in front of him and pretend to be serious. "Lingling, are you kidding? What do you like about me?"

Qin Shuling looked at him with a smile, but her eyes seemed to be darkened by the night, "Do you want to change it?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Gu Pei explained in a panic, fearing that she would misunderstand him. "I'm just, I'm curious."

Qin Shuling was amused by his reaction, "Brother Gu Pei is very nice."

Gu Pei was a little embarrassed: "Where?"

Qin Shuling, however, looked serious, counting on her fingers, "Good-looking, good family background, good character, good temper, good at studying, good at playing games... There are too many, I can't even count them all. Anyway, in my opinion, Brother Gu Pei is great in every way."

Gu Pei blushed and scratched his head. He turned his head away and didn't dare to look into her bright eyes. He whispered, "I didn't realize I had so many advantages."

He looked at Qin Shuling again, "Are you... serious? Do you really want to try dating me?"
