"I told them I saw a familiar brother, so I came over to say hi."
"Cough..."
Yaen Chi's earlier cough was a fake one to cover up the awkwardness, but now it's genuine.
He's just a "familiar brother."
The little girl really knows how to hit where it hurts.
Yaen Chi wasn't sure whether to be angry or amused, his eyes slightly curved as he looked at her with warmth, "Alright, you said hi, go ahead, don't keep them waiting."
"Then I'm leaving."
"Hmm."
Ye Wanting did leave, but after walking a few steps, she turned back. Yaen Chi raised his eyebrows at her, "It's fine, go ahead, brother's watching you leave."
Ye Wanting's face flushed inexplicably, hugged the books in her arms tightly, and ran away quickly.
The streetlight on the path shone on her, as she trod through a pool of warm yellow light, her dress hem was gently lifted by the breeze, and her high ponytail bounced as she ran.
She really is just a little girl.
