On the terrace, Sheng Yanxiao was also taken aback for a moment. Then he smiled, reached out, and ruffled Zhou Chengchen’s hair: "Cheng Chen, it’s not April Fools’ Day today, don’t joke around."

"I’m not joking, I like you."

Zhou Chengchen’s gaze was more serious than ever. She really likes Sheng Yanxiao, has liked him since she was young. Even though Sheng Yanxiao is older than her, she never considered him an older brother. When she was very young, she vowed to become his girlfriend.

This feeling grew stronger as she grew older. Zhou Chengchen hadn’t planned on saying anything now. She could joke with all the other boys, but she didn’t want to joke with Sheng Yanxiao at all, so she kept silent. Anyway, they were still young. She originally planned to confess her feelings after Sheng Yanxiao finished his college entrance exam.

But everything changed that night.

She actually saw Sheng Yanxiao and Su Weiyi kissing. How could that be possible?

Zhou Chengchen couldn’t believe it, but she had to because she saw it with her own eyes.

Later, when she heard from her mother that Sheng Yanxiao would be taking the college entrance exam this year, she panicked even more. So when she saw Sheng Yanxiao going upstairs, she followed.

The person she likes, she definitely has to fight for.

As if making up her mind, Zhou Chengchen’s gaze became even firmer.

Sheng Yanxiao’s smile gradually faded. Just as he was about to speak, a soft female voice suddenly came: "Yanxiao? Are you upstairs?"

Su Weiyi slowly walked up the stairs. Seeing Zhou Chengchen, she was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Cheng Chen is here too?"

After saying this, she looked at Sheng Yanxiao: "Mom asked if you want some fruit?"

Sheng Yanxiao looked at Su Weiyi, his eyes slightly narrowed, a hint of a smile flashing in them.

Zhou Chengchen, however, interrupted Su Weiyi: "Sister Su, I have something to say to Brother Yanxiao. Could you give us a moment?"

Su Weiyi was momentarily speechless when she was interrupted like this.

She showed up because she knew Sheng Yanxiao would refuse. But she was also aware of how close both families were. Zhou Chengchen’s mother was her and Sheng Yanxiao’s godmother, which made the relationships quite complicated.

Therefore, Su Weiyi didn’t want to strain these relationships. That’s why she spoke up, thinking that under normal circumstances, Zhou Chengchen would be too shy to continue the conversation. But she didn’t expect Zhou Chengchen to say something like that.

Even though Su Weiyi was several years older, she stood there not knowing what to do.

Sheng Yanxiao noticed her awkwardness, his smile deepened. With his hands in his pockets, he remained in his lazy demeanor.

"We’ll come down later."

The underlying meaning was: You leave first, I’ll handle this.

Su Weiyi nodded awkwardly and turned to leave.

After two minutes, Sheng Yanxiao turned back to look at Zhou Chengchen: "Cheng Chen, like Zhou Qi, I’m your brother."

Zhou Chengchen’s big eyes were fixed on Sheng Yanxiao. She understood that Sheng Yanxiao’s words meant rejection, but still stubbornly asked: "Brother Yanxiao, is there no chance you might like me?"

Sheng Yanxiao’s smile remained unchanged: "Cheng Chen, you’re younger than me. And I like someone older than me."

Yes, I like someone older than me. And that person seems a bit clumsy, a bit silly, and that person must have the surname Su. And that person must blush over any random flirty remark or gesture, never able to shake the habit of being shy no matter how many times it happens.

Sheng Yanxiao silently added in his mind. Thinking back to how Su Weiyi clearly wanted to help him but got shut down, it was just... too cute.
