"We're not blaming you, Xu Nancheng. Just tell us already! Don't keep us in suspense!" Dongfeng Po exclaimed.
"Lin Menghan isn't my biological sister; she's more like a guest in my home," Xingchen replied.
"Why did your family suddenly decide to adopt her?" Yi asked.
"Do you remember the day we rescued someone? That was her!" Xingchen explained.
"Huh?" Dongfeng Po responded, surprised.
"The department made the decision. She used to be Fuyuan," Xingchen added.
"So she's not your sister, right?" Yi clarified.
"What?! I missed my chance, didn't I?" Dongfeng Po cried out in despair.
"I see her as a sister, but she seems a bit clingy," Xingchen admitted.
"You really are the worst!" Dongfeng Po shouted in frustration.
"That's not the point. She wanted me to thank you all. Let's have dinner together next time!" Xingchen suggested.
"I was too busy yesterday to mention it. Since it's getting late, I just wanted to say this for now," he continued.
"No worries! Just being able to see my sister is enough!" Dongfeng Po replied cheerfully.
Xu Dong's mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Menghan, especially after learning that she wasn't Xu Nancheng's girlfriend. He was still messaging Xu Nancheng when he suddenly felt a weight on his right shoulder. Strands of hair brushed against his face, tickling him and carrying a hint of jasmine fragrance.
He closed his phone and turned slightly, only to find Lin Menghan resting her head on his shoulder. The breath she released stirred her hair gently, and her soft, delicate face made his heart race with unease.
It was she who leaned against Xu Nancheng's shoulder, yet at that moment, it was Xu Nancheng who felt shy and awkward. He could clearly feel his heart rate quickening, and even his breathing became irregular.
A strong impulse surged within him; he desperately wanted to gently pinch that tender face, as soft as a peach blossom, and even imagined kissing her cheek softly.
Kiss her cheek? No, no, no! Better abandon that thought! After all, I've always been a well-behaved and sensible child! How could I take advantage of her while she's asleep?
If I really want to kiss her, it should be after she wakes up!
Should I just give her cheek a little pinch? Just for a moment, it shouldn't cause any problems, right? But what if I accidentally wake her up, and she scolds me for being a pervert? There are so many people on this bus; if that happens, I would be too embarrassed to show my face in public. I might as well find a place to bury myself alive.
Forget it! I can definitely control my desires.
But oh my! She's so soft! So cute! Lin Menghan, I really want to kiss you!
He couldn't help but reach out his left hand, carefully pinching Lin Menghan's delicate and smooth right cheek, reminiscent of Yang Zhi Yu. At that moment, his eyes couldn't bear to leave Lin Menghan's stunning face.
Nancheng, I miss you so much. I like you so much. Lin Menghan's soft voice was like a lazy kitten gently rubbing against Xu Nancheng's ear, her sweet tone melting his heart.
He heard a faint murmur nearby, like ripples on a calm lake. Xu Nancheng's heart tightened as if burned by fire; he quickly withdrew his hand from Lin Menghan's cheek and sat up straight, like a soldier being inspected.
Time passed slowly, and the surroundings returned to silence. Xu Nancheng let out a quiet sigh of relief, thinking to himself: So she was just talking in her sleep!
Wait? What does "I miss you" and "I like you" mean?
The voice was soft and not very clear. But since it was close by, it clearly reached Xu Nancheng's ears.
He kept repeating those words in his mind. What was she saying? Why does she like me? No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't understand.
Should I ask her? As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he quickly shook his head. No, no! Even though I'm a bit clueless in these matters, I know she wouldn't say anything—especially not while dreaming!
Just then, the notification sound of Green Bubble chimed in.
【Dongfeng Po: Nancheng! Can you give me your sister's contact information?】
Normally, he wouldn't reply quickly to messages. However, remembering how he had let those two down yesterday and having nothing else to do, he decided to respond.
【Xingchen: But she doesn't have a phone.】
【Dongfeng Po: Then just buy her one!】
That made sense, but it's so expensive. Xu Nancheng glanced at his balance and then patted his pocket; he didn't have enough money even when counting every last cent.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to wait until they reached their destination to talk.
The bus came to a stop.
“Lin Menghan, Lin Menghan, we’re almost there, wake up!” Xu Nancheng gently nudged her shoulder.
“Mm, okay.” Lin Menghan slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them with her hands.
Still not fully awake, she felt her face resting against something. Turning her head, she found herself looking directly into Xu Nancheng's eyes, her face resting on his shoulder.
She suddenly recalled the scene from her dream and sat up straight, covering her flushed face with her hands.
“Nancheng, I didn’t say anything strange, did I?” she asked tentatively.
She certainly didn’t want Xu Nancheng to hear anything embarrassing from her dream.
In the dream, she had been wandering aimlessly down the street when she suddenly spotted Xu Nancheng ahead.
She had run towards him like a madwoman and finally caught up after a long chase.
Cuddling into his embrace, she had cried out, “Nancheng, I miss you so much! I really like you!”
Xu Nancheng held her close and gently patted her shoulder, saying, “Lin Menghan, don’t be afraid. I’m here; I’ve always been here!”
He looked at Lin Menghan with eyes full of concern.
