"Make yourself at home, don't be polite!"

"Who's being polite with you! But it's quite clean~"

This is a six-story apartment building on the ring, and Samson Nan rents the one on the fifth floor at the very end.

"Of course, since I have distinguished guests today, it has to be clean!"

He took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet for Raina Nan to change into.

She carefully surveyed the simple furnishings in this small suite.

Many of the pieces of furniture were moved from Samson Nan's room in his original home, which made her feel as if she had been to this place before.

Without any extra decoration, the room was as simple as he himself.

The only household appliances that could be counted were a washing machine and a computer, as Samson Nan currently worked at a private architecture design institute and needed a computer.

The well-meaning landlord had offered to bring him an old TV, but Samson Nan had politely declined.

Like most young people, his spare time was mostly devoted to computers, and television was optional.

"Brother"

She noticed the instant noodle box on the table.

"You just eat this stuff?"

"Yes, I don't want to bother when I come back from work late, so I just eat some."

He took her backpack and hung it on the coat rack.

"You can't eat this kind of thing every day!"

"It's not 'this kind of thing', it's X Master's Braised Beef Noodles~ Uncultured!"

He didn't care at all.

"I'm talking to you seriously!"

She was clearly not satisfied with her brother's current lifestyle.

"Fine then, do you want to come and cook for me every day?"

"What?"

"If you don't answer, it means you agree. Okay, deal!"

"I don't want to!"

"You see, you just said you don't want to as well!"

He walked past her towards the kitchen, not forgetting to bump her with his buttocks.

"Stinky hooligan!"

She scolded.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing him enter the kitchen and not come out for a long time, she couldn't help but shout into it.

...

No response?

"Brother?"

After the last tentative call to him still did not get a response, she went over and pushed open the kitchen door.

Samson Nan was wearing headphones, bent over the chopping board, cutting green peppers with a clattering sound.

Who listens to music while cooking?

He hummed along with the song, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth indicated his good mood at the moment.

"Wait a moment, it'll be quick~"

Upon discovering Raina Nan behind him, he took off his headphones.

"Never mind, let me do it. You must be tired after a day of work, right?"

She felt warm in her heart and decided to reward her caring brother.

"Oh, but you're my guest today. I should do it~"

"But...”

This made her feel even more embarrassed.

"You think I'd really say that? Haha! Raina, I didn't spoil you for nothing! Thanks, I'm going to play on the computer, call me when dinner's ready!"

...

"Despicable person!"

She regretted her words, but he had already wisely put on his headphones.

In less than half an hour, Raina Nan had made a table of dishes with only a few ingredients on hand.

Her cooking skills were, of course, superb, and even Samson Nan's half-cooked cooking was learned from her.

Many boys in school dreamt of tasting her cooking, but now the man who sat across from her, wolfing down his food, was her brother.

"Raina, it's so delicious!"

He certainly did not forget to praise her.

"Thank you for the compliment~"

"But you shouldn't eat instant noodles every day, either. It's not good for your health! Buy something else to eat."

"Half of my monthly salary is used for rent, I can't afford it~"

It should be known that the rent price for this place was not cheap.

"Didn't mom give you any money?"

"Since I moved out, I haven't asked her for money. Why should I ask her for money when I can earn it myself?"

After saying this, he continued to shovel rice into his mouth.

"Pfft~ You're so good at making money!"

She couldn't help but laugh at the sight of him talking with his mouth full.

"Heh! Don't underestimate me. I might not make much now just after graduation, but it won't always be like this!""What's the point of making so much money~ Will you spend it on me?"

She covered her mouth and laughed.

“Alright, Raina! Just wait for another two or three years, I can afford to support not just one of you, but ten of you!”

He was always truthful in front of her, and perhaps this time was no different.

“I don't need that! My future boyfriend will give me money to spend~”

She spoke with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, after all, the hearts of girls were the same everywhere.

“Hey, Raina Nan! I'm so embarrassed for you! You're still so young and you're already thinking about spending a man's money?!”

Although he knew she was not that kind of girl, he still wore a look of disdain.

“Humph~ who just said they wanted to support me?”

“That's different!”

He suddenly slammed the table and stood up, flustered and embarrassed, then sat back down.

“Why so serious…”

“…”

This time he kept his head down and said nothing.

…

“How about staying here for the night? I can handle our parents with one phone call!”

Standing at the door as it was getting dark, he was worried about her safety on the way home.

“No need, I'll take a taxi.”

She bent down to tie her shoelaces.

“Oh well, a grown woman doesn't stick around~”

He leaned against the doorway, hands in pockets, and handed her the book bag.

“There are perverts here, I can't stay long! Hehe!”

She bounced downstairs.

He stood by the balcony and watched his sister waiting for her ride, until a taxi picked her up…

“Am I a pervert? … Pfft”

He muttered to himself and then burst out laughing.

…

In the following week, Samson Nan went to work every day on time like a programmed robot, dull and boring, but he didn't hate such a regular life.

Perhaps change was the real fear hidden deep in his heart.

Ding Ding Ding ~

The ringtone of his cell phone sounded.

“Samson Nan! Is that you?!”

An anxious male voice came from the other end of the phone.

“What?”

He was at work and didn't even look at who was calling, answering impatiently.

“Come to the school quickly!”

“Huh?”

“Your sister is in trouble!!”

He paused, then sprang up from his seat.

“What did you say?!!”

The caller was Samson Nan's high school classmate, William Wei.

The two had been teammates in the school basketball team and were good buddies.

William Wei entered college as a sports student and after graduation was assigned to teach at their former high school.

Raina Nan was now his student.

So when he heard that Raina Nan was in trouble, Samson Nan's heart jumped to his throat.

“Samson Nan!”

William Wei stood at the school gate anxiously tapping his foot.

“Where's Raina?!”

He didn't even ask what happened, his mind completely blank, just wanting to see Raina Nan as soon as possible.

He was always unusual when it came to her.

“In the guidance office!”

“Guidance office?! What did she do?”

“Raina Nan didn't do anything wrong, but…”

“Take me there!”

Seeing that William Wei was tight-lipped, Samson Nan cut him off and ran straight to the guidance office.

When they arrived at the office and opened the door, he saw Raina Nan, who had already cried her eyes out.

There was a boy standing next to her, and the teachers surrounded them.

“Raina!”

He pushed his way through the crowd of teachers.

“Wait! Who are you?”

A teacher tried to grab him but was pushed away.

“Brother!!”

Raina Nan burst into tears as soon as she saw him.

“Raina, what happened? Take your time and tell me~”

He gently wiped her tears, looking only at her as if the people around them didn't exist.

“Oh, you must be Raina Nan's brother. Where are her parents?”

“Just tell me what's going on. Our parents are busy.”Seeing her calming down a bit, he finally turned his head to answer the teacher who asked the question.

Only now did the young female teachers see the handsome man in front of them, and they couldn't help but whisper about him.

"Alright, so… your sister, Raina Nan, just had a little conflict with Gu Zihang, but it's all fine now."

"Conflict?"

Samson Nan looked at the boy named Gu Zihang standing nearby. Raina Nan had always been a well-behaved girl in school, how could she possibly have a conflict with a male student?

"Is that so?"

He turned to Raina Nan, just wanting to confirm.

"Hmm."

She nodded.

"Bullshit!"

At this moment, Tong Xiaoling suddenly rushed in, and the two people couldn't hold her back.

"Tong Xiaoling?!"

"Brother Feng, don't listen to their nonsense! It was obviously Gu Zihang who tried to molest Yu Yu (Raina)! His hand even touched her leg, and he still doesn't admit it?! Shameless!"

Tong Xiaoling shouted hoarsely.

"Tong Xiaoling! What are you yelling for? Do you have evidence?!"

Gu Zihang pointed at Tong Xiaoling.

"Evidence…"

She hesitated for a moment, then walked over to Raina Nan.

"Raina Nan is the evidence, let her say if this happened or not!!"

Raina Nan was about to nod, but then shook her head halfway through.

The head teacher finally exhaled in relief as if swallowing a reassurance pill, while Gu Zihang smirked at Tong Xiaoling, who was grinding her teeth with anger!

However, Raina Nan's subtle expression didn't escape Samson Nan's eyes.

He walked over to Gu Zihang, silent, cold as iron, and his fist suddenly whooshed down, landing on Gu Zihang's face!

Gu Zihang fell to the ground due to the sudden and massive force, and blood flowed from his nose!

Everyone was stunned, and Raina Nan was too scared to speak.

"Hey! You!"

The head teacher came over to stop the fight but hesitated.

His delicate features were now filled with coldness, like a wild owl, calm and bloodthirsty.

Time congealed, and everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

"Apologize."

He finally uttered two words.

"S-sorry…"

Gu Zihang was stunned.

"To her! Not me!"

"I'm sorry!"

He apologized to Raina Nan again.

No one dared to speak.

After regaining his composure, he slowly walked over to Raina Nan's side.

"Yu Yu, it's okay now~"

He pinched her cheeks, traced a beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth, and smiled faintly, as if nothing had happened just now.

Raina Nan nodded vigorously. She was afraid he would do something impulsive again, as it was the first time she saw her brother like this, gentle yet freezing cold.

"Let's go home."

He took her hand and walked out of the dean's office…

Later, they heard that the head teacher was suspended for investigation. He just didn't want the matter to be blown up and couldn't be blamed. Gu Zihang's father personally apologized to the Nan family, and Raina Nan was just frightened. After that, Samson Nan privately asked William Wei to find the teachers present at the scene and told them not to spread the incident, saying that it would not be good for Raina Nan's reputation, even though nothing really happened.

They only remembered the way home that day.

Probably having shouted himself hoarse, he didn't say a word all the way.

"Brother, thank you."

She took the initiative to break the silence.

"Pfft~"

"What's so funny?!"

"Laughing at that silly kid~ the fact that he actually dared to touch such an underdeveloped little kid like you!"

"Why don't you just die!!"

"Hehe!"

Despite scolding, she still hugged his arm.
