The first episode of

Survivor

had already aired.

Han Zhuoling was the guest and s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was the tag-along makeup artist. How could the two of them not know each other?

The one in Man City was already the second episode!

What was there not to understand seeing s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s guilty reaction?

In his heart, s.h.i.+ Nancang scoffed at Han Zhuoling for being so shameless, telling him that he hadn’t seen s.h.i.+ Xiaoya that day below her apartment.

What a show he’d put on!

“I won’t be going after you anymore for hiding it from me last time,” s.h.i.+ Nancang said tiredly.

Sigh!

His sister was no longer the cutie who told him everything and anything.

“It wasn’t intentional, but Han Zhuoling and I were having a tentative relations.h.i.+p then. I could feel that he’s treating me differently from others, but we hadn’t confirmed anything, so I didn’t know how to tell you, afraid that you’ll misunderstand too. In the end, it all seemed like my wishful thinking.” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya scratched her head in frustration. “Geez! It’s just super hard to explain, so I didn’t.”

s.h.i.+ Nancang sighed. “Han Zhuoling’s really not bad. Even from a man’s point of view, he’s almost flawless. Except for his age.”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya: “…”

“Since you’ve decided to be with him, I won’t stop you, nor can I stop you. I only hope you won’t hide anything from me in the future. At least then I can back you up in time if anything happens.”

“We’re not like the Han Family, and I might not be Han Zhuoling’s match,” s.h.i.+ Nancang said, “but this doesn’t mean that we can’t do anything. Even if we can’t change the outcome, we can at least let him know that you’re not alone. You have someone supporting you and protecting you; you’re not someone he can bully easily.”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya opened her mouth, but s.h.i.+ Nancang cut her off before she could say anything. “Don’t say that he’ll never bully you. What if? Who knows what will happen in the future?”

“What’s more, even if you two are dating and would probably marry in the future, which couple never had their troubles? Come home, or seek me out if you get into a fight. No matter what happens, whether you’re in the right or wrong, we’ll always be with you.”

“Brother…” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya said, moved.

Her relations.h.i.+p with Han Zhuoling had barely started, and s.h.i.+ Nancang was already thinking so far ahead.

Afraid that she would suffer hards.h.i.+ps and grievances.

Precisely because he cared too much, that was why he couldn’t help but think so far ahead, to plan for anything possible.

“You’re an adult now. I won’t and can’t control many things. I know adult relations.h.i.+ps, and I can’t expect you to be like children,” s.h.i.+ Nancang said. “Han Zhuoling’s a grown man. You guys will face that step sooner or later.”

s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was utterly confused by his words.

“Bro, what are you trying to say?” s.h.i.+ Xiaoya was curious.

s.h.i.+ Nancang hesitated, saying, “When that time really times, you must take protection. Don’t be a ditz.”

Heat immediately blossomed in s.h.i.+ Xiaoya’s cheeks. “Brother, why are you saying this!”

“Why can’t I?” s.h.i.+ Nancang tsked. “You’re both adults, so you’re going to take that step sooner or later. Our family might need to approve who you’re dating, but we’re not so old-fas.h.i.+oned as to expect you to save it for your marriage.”
