Jingrui listened to Xiao'er with great annoyance, responding, "Nonsense!"
If Jingrui weren't there, Zhu Yan would certainly say without hesitation: Yes, I stole your older brother, he's mine for the taking.
But with Jingrui there, she felt too shy to be so bold in front of Xiao'er, so her only option was to evade, "Well, you guys chat. I'm going back to my room!"
Xiao'er: "Big Brother, Sister Yan is being shy! Shouldn't you go and comfort her?"
Jingrui knew he was no match for Xiao'er's audacity. Wouldn't Zhu Yan be even shyer if he went now? He retorted: "Who do you think you are to boss me around?"
Then he went straight back to his room.
Xiao'er giggled unconsciously! There seemed to be a notable progress in their relationship!
A little blushing and heart-throbbing seemed essential in a love relationship!
Mrs. Fang and Wanping were standing not far down the corridor, watching their interactions.
