Could it be that he’s not a comic character? But in reality, who looks like that? Leng Yan lowered his eyes and decided to privately look up who Rukawa Kaede is. After studying together until eight in the evening, Leng Yan finally said goodbye to her and went home. The next morning, he showed up at her house for breakfast with panda eyes. "Didn’t you sleep well last night?" Xia Nuo asked in confusion. "Yeah, I watched that anime." Xia Nuo, as if finding a kindred spirit, immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Isn’t it good? Isn’t Rukawa Kaede amazing? Isn’t Sakuragi funny?" Leng Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks, and calmly said, "He only knows how to sleep in class." "Yeah, yeah, he looks so..." cute when he’s sleeping. "His grades aren’t good either." "Cough, cough, but he’s great at basketball." "But not as good as that gorilla." "No way, I think he’s the best..." "Still not as good as the redhead." "How could he not be as good as Sakuragi? Sakuragi just got lucky a few times." "Doesn’t compare to Xian Dao in looks." "And he’s quite an idiot." Leng Yan’s lips twitched slightly, finally saying what he most wanted to say. Xia Nuo was frustrated. In her eyes, Rukawa Kaede was so great, but why did he seem so terrible in Leng Yan’s eyes? "Forget it, let’s not discuss it. Let’s eat." "I’m full. I’m going to study now." "Go ahead." Xia Nuo waved her hand absentmindedly. When she finished eating and wandered into the bedroom, she saw Leng Yan seriously studying. She suddenly felt invigorated and started to bury her head in revision. But why did she feel something was wrong? "Leng Yan, where’s the Rukawa Kaede I pasted on the window?" "Blown away by the wind." "Ah, why didn’t you catch it for me?" It took her a long time to draw that, losing it was truly painful. "I’m studying, no time for that." "..." Could she punch him once and then make him forget it? Finally, exams were over, and the long-awaited summer vacation for Xia Nuo officially began. Ever since Leng Yan started coming back to her house for meals, he would come over punctually every day to eat. Xia Nuo could tell he really liked eating at her house, as he enjoyed every meal thoroughly. So during that time, when he didn’t come, it was definitely on purpose. She didn’t ask him why he didn’t come; she thought it was because his mom didn’t let him. Thinking of this possibility made her angry. Not taking care of her son was one thing, but not allowing others to treat him well, how does someone like that act as a mom? However, Miss Xia’s motherly love wasn’t overwhelmingly good towards Leng Yan. In fact, apart from letting him come for meals, she seemingly didn’t do much for him. Instead, it was Leng Yan who, when Aunt Zhao wasn’t around, learned to cook meals for her, wash dishes, and clean the house. He often ran errands to buy food or accompanied her shopping, carrying things for her. In doing all this, Leng Yan never showed the slightest unwillingness, and Xia Nuo ordered him around with even more confidence. Her classmates also had younger brothers at home, and she heard they all obeyed their older sisters. She thought they were probably just like her and Leng Yan. "Leng Yan, from now on, you can be my little brother." Xia Nuo grew more fond of him, so she had to book him first, lest someone snatch him away. "We aren’t siblings," Leng Yan said without looking up. "I know we’re not blood siblings, but our feelings are like siblings." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
