Shi Ning almost couldnât breathe properly after being hugged tightly by Jin Sihan. Reaching out, she pushed him but was unable to budge even after a long time.
âYou let go of me.â
âNo, I wonât let go.â Jin Sihan held on tighter and wouldnât let go.
Shi Ning could only threaten him.
âIâll get really angry with you this time.â
Threatening him was really effective as the arms shackling immediately loosened.
Shi Ning stared at him.
âI have told you how many times, you canât hug me like this, why canât you just listen.â
Heâs sixteen, not six, so how come heâs still acting like a kid.
Jin Sihan pursed his lips, and his aggressive look wanted to be a puppy waiting to be petted.
âYou know how hard it was for me to come and see you? I begged her for a long time, risked being scolded, avoided sassaeng fans, and went over the wall, I took so much effort to see you. I just miss you too much, so I canât help it â¦â¦â
Shi Ning couldnât bear his ruse.
âWell, well, Iâm not scolding you. But you should remember what I said. Even if we have a good relationship, people will misunderstand us when we do this kind of action. Besides, you are a big star now. You should pay more attention to these things. I donât want a gossip with you, your fans will surely malign me when that happens.â
Jin Sihanâs eyes narrowed slightly, and his outgoing aura immediately disappeared in an instant.
âWho dares?â
Even if it was his fan, he would still protect the person in front of him and would never let anyone harm her even a strand of her hair.
Shi Ning said this casually and did not think he would take it seriously.
âI was just kidding, we have been friends for so many years, there will be no scandal.â Shi Ning said with a smile.
Jin Sihan, however, was laughing bitterly in his heart.
Just a friend? When will she be able to see me as a real man, not just as a friend, brother, or childhood friend?
The two men simply sat on the stone piers in the corner.
Jin Sihan was really busy recently. Because he was halfway through his career the company has to arrange a full daily schedule of training. In addition, his current film and television works were popular now, and there were still many activities to catch up on so he was working continuously and overloaded every day.
âIf I had known it was so tiring, I might as well have gone back to school.â
He sighed.
Shi Ning: âStudying is more tiring.â
She scratched her ponytail.
âIâve been starting to feel less hair lately.â
Jin Sihan: âYou have so much hair that you canât go bald.â
Shi Ningâs hair was black and dense, from the top of her head and hanging down to her waist, just like a waterfall.
âI heard you transferred to science class?â He asked.
âYup.â
âYou donât think liberal arts is challenging so you want to change your strategy?â
âDo I look like someone who has nothing better to do? Who wouldnât want to take the easier path, itâs just that the career I want to pursue in the future is related to science.â
For the sake of her dream, she had no choice.
Jin Sihan: âThis kind of thing may be difficult for others, but if itâs you, Iâm sure you can do it.â
âOkay, Okay, Okay, donât blow rainbow farts for me as soon as we meet!â
âI mean what I say, I believe in you unconditionally.â Jin Sihan seriously said.
He casually asked again.
âDuring my absence from school for so many days, apart from the matter of your transfer, is there anything else big happening in our school?â
âNot really, but â¦â¦â
She hesitated for a long time, thinking about whether to tell him about Wan Yue.
She once asked Wan Yue if he would mind if people knew his identity and if he had ever thought about claiming his ancestry.
Wan Yue told her.
âWhatâs wrong with people knowing? Iâve long been indifferent to my real identity, whether itâs the son of a country grocery store owner or the illegitimate son of a wealthy Yangcheng businessman Jin Yan.â
âItâs just a title in other peopleâs mouths, Iâm me, what identity do I need? I dare to come here, so Iâm not afraid of others knowing the truth, and Iâm hiding it from you because I respect my biological mother out of politeness.â
âAs for recognizing my ancestors, sorry, never thought about it.â
âSihan, if you had a brother, what would you do?â Shi Ning asked tentatively.
Jin Sihan: âThis brother thing is just an ATM for me. Itâs just too broad, otherwise, I think itâs good to have a brother.â
Itâs good to have an ATM brother, and this idea from Jin Sihan was very realistic.
But Wan Yue as a brotherâsheâs afraid not only that Jin Sihan couldnât withdraw money from him but give him money instead.
âItâs not Jin Shang, itâs another brother.â
âWhat another brother? I have only one brother!â
Jin Sihan said as if he thought of something and turned to Shi Ning.
âCanât it be my fatherâs illegitimate son?â
â¦â¦â¦.
â¦..
You know your father well.
Finally, Shi Ning chose to tell Jin Sihan about it.
She always felt that although Wan Yue acted like he didnât care anymore, his heart still craved affection.
Cao Shu and Jin Shang have no hope. But if they really care about Wan Yue, they wonât let him live in the countryside for so many years.
Her brother, Shi Chen, was too deeply hurt by this, and naturally could not accept him easily.
Only Jin Sihan.
Shi Ning thought.
Maybe Jin Sihan could understand him, and it would be good for the two brothers to recognize each other.
Shi Ning: âAre you going to be okay later? Can you wait here for a while, Iâll let you see someone.â
Jin Sihan: âI canât stay too long. Although there are few people here, after all, the school is a densely populated place. If Iâm found sneaking in to meet you, tomorrow youâll go on a hot search with me! Arenât you afraid of that?â
He said in a teasing tone.
Shi Ning: âIâm joking with you. Iâm serious.â
Jin Sihan: âI really canât stay too long. Iâve violated the companyâs regulations without permission. Iâll be punished if Iâm too willful.â
âForget it. Letâs talk about it later.â
âBut if you ask me a favor, Iâm willing to accept any punishment.â He smiled.
âIf you act like a spoiled child, you will act like a spoiled child to others every day. If you donât like to see him then forget it.â
Shi Ning gave him a blank stare and lifted her leg to go outside.
Jin Sihan pulled her over.
âSee him, Iâll see him okay. And when did I ever act like a spoiled child to others? I just act spoiled with you.â
