"Come on, come on!"

Xiao Lang's magnetic voice took on a pleading note. Seeing his expectant expression, Mo Lin couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she had to agree. "All right."

"That's great!"

Xiao Lang was so excited he nearly jumped up and clapped on the spot. His eyes curved into crescents as he gave her a huge smile, like a child who had just gotten candy, a hint of starlight spilling from his eyes.

He's still just a kid, after all, Mo Lin thought.

"Sis? What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Xiao Lang wore his signature smile as he drew closer to Mo Lin, step by step.

Mo Lin glared at him. "You lied to me." Her chest heaved with anger, and her clear, limpid eyes widened.

"I didn't, though." Xiao Lang was now just one step away from Mo Lin. He had shot up during puberty and was much taller than her. He looked down at Mo Lin, who was enveloped in his shadow, and felt a peculiar sense of satisfaction swell inside him. "I just... like you too much."
