At the same time, Chen Yunqi and Jiang Nan were walking slowly along the riverbank.
As dusk fell, the sun had completely set, leaving only a patch of crimson and golden clouds on the horizon.
As the busy day came to a close with the sunset, Chen Yunqi's originally complicated thoughts gradually calmed down.
A cool evening breeze occasionally brushed against his face and gently ruffled the long, smooth, black hair of the girl beside him.
The two remained silent for a moment, simply walking side by side.
It's hard to say who's waiting for whom; they just subconsciously move at the same pace—just like they've always done since childhood.
They had walked this road together countless times. Chen Yunqi turned his head to look at the calm river surface, and then at the maple trees nearby.
Through the changing seasons, they, like the trees beside them, grew taller little by little.
The older sister who had been by his side since childhood has now grown up with long hair reaching her waist and is now a graceful young woman.
"My godparents have such a good relationship; I don't remember ever seeing them argue," Jiang Nan suddenly said, her voice carried by the evening breeze.
After recalling for a moment, Chen Yunqi said seriously, "We didn't argue."
This isn't just about having a good relationship; he and his sister are completely the third wheel disrupting their affection.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nan suddenly smiled at him and said, "We've never argued."
"How can that be the same..." Chen Yunqi turned his head to the side again and muttered softly.
I have a feeling this person is implying something...
But thinking about it, it's true. My friends not only argue, but they've even fought over trivial things.
But his older sister always indulged him from a young age, unlike other children who would fight with him for toys, and would occasionally give him a lot of toys on her own initiative.
"Sis, which exam do you want to take?"
"The college entrance exam is almost here, why are you only asking this now?"
Jiang Nan strode forward, walked backward with her hands behind her back, a faint smile appearing on her cool face, and quietly waited for his answer.
Chen Yunqi was stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed to meet his gaze.
My sister doesn't actually smile much; she only smiles like this in front of him. In other words, it's a smile that only he can see.
"It was just...something that suddenly came to mind."
Jiang Nan pondered for a moment, then let out a soft breath and casually said, "I'm fine with going anywhere, there's really no place I particularly want to go."
Chen Yunqi could tell that Jiang Nan was lying. They had known each other since they couldn't even speak properly; how could he not see through it?
But... why did she lie?
Chen Yunqi couldn't figure it out, and his already complicated thoughts didn't allow him to think about it any further.
He felt that he was probably sick. He didn't know when it started, but whenever he was with his sister, he would feel restless and unable to do anything.
The seed of this 'disloyalty' seemed to have been buried deep in his heart for a long time, only to finally sprout after he came of age.
And she even told her parents that she was completely innocent...
I must be incredibly embarrassed to tell such a lie in their eyes. No wonder my usually gentle mother was laughing like that.
"Speaking of which, didn't the girl sitting behind you ask you where you want to go in the future?" Before he knew it, the girl in front of him had stopped smiling and asked him softly.
Chen Yunqi, who was in a daze, was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "How did you know?"
"Mu Xue told me." Jiang Nan's lips curled into a smile. "You have some ideas?"
Chen Yunqi slowly shook his head.
"That's for the best. If you dare to have a relationship too early, I... I'll break your legs, you hear me!"
"Huh? I'm an adult now, does that still count as puppy love?"
"What do you mean 'oh'? I say it's okay, so it is. I'm your older sister, I've watched you grow up since you were little, don't I have a right to interfere in this matter?"
If that's what you're saying, then I've watched you grow up...
Chen Yunqi felt like he'd been taken advantage of, and couldn't help but mutter to himself before whispering, "What if I can't find a girlfriend in the future?"
"You don't need to worry about that, I have my own way." Jiang Nan turned around abruptly, leaving him with only her slender and carefree back view. "Your sister is all-powerful, how could she let you stay single?"
Chen Yunqi was taken aback and couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister, you're amazing!"
"So right now, all you need to do is focus on improving your English, and don't think about anything else, understand?"
"……good."
...
As soon as Jiang Nan arrived home, she saw Jiang Chao and Liu Yan sitting on the sofa, clearly waiting for her.
Liu Yan was looking at a few pages of documents, while Jiang Chao sat next to her. At first glance, he seemed to be watching TV intently, but in reality, he had been glancing in their direction ever since she entered the room.
She remained expressionless and silently sat down to the side, waiting for the two to speak.
Jiang Chao was already showing signs of gaining weight, with his belly slightly protruding. Coupled with his somewhat roguish appearance, he didn't look like a good person when he sat there.
"I heard from your godmother and your mother that you're going to be a tutor for that brat Yunqi?" Jiang Chao suddenly asked.
Jiang Nan didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly.
"Wouldn't it be better to use that time to play by yourself? Why do you have to go and be someone else's tutor?"
Jiang Chao kept muttering, "Your godfather is cunning and wicked. He might even withhold your wages. Let's not do this with him."
"Isn't it better than playing on your phone?"
Liu Yan retorted from the side, saying that she didn't care, since Jiang Nan had completed all the piano practice tasks she had assigned, and that she was using her own rest time as a tutor.
Let's just say this girl used her break time to review English. If she dared to sacrifice her piano practice time, she would absolutely disagree.
Jiang Chao was still unconvinced and continued to grumble, "You might as well play on your phone instead of hanging out with that brat..."
