1. The Jiang and Zhou families are close, and Jiang Xiyue and Zhou Zhou are practically siblings. They grew up bickering and teasing each other.
That night, after a few rounds of drinks, someone admitted he liked Zhou Zhou and asked whether Jiang Xiyue could help set them up.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue raised an eyebrow and replied with a smile, "You think you have a chance with her?"
As his words trailed off, the curve of his lips softened, but there wasn't a hint of warmth left in his eyes.
Someone his age was pursuing Zhou Zhou? That was obviously a devious schemer with ulterior motives.
In the suddenly stifling atmosphere, Jiang Xiyue leisurely thought that he was quite a responsible stand-in big brother.
Not long after, he realized with a jolt that he had ulterior motives too.
2. Zhou Zhou had been troubled lately.
Jiang Xiyue had become especially strange.
Although he still teased her until she was hopping mad, he kept staring straight at her like this, his eyes full of emotions she couldn't understand. It made her scalp tingle.
The Nth time he fell silent and gazed at her, Zhou Zhou could take it no longer. "Why are you looking at me like that again?"
The answer came as a touch against her lips.
Zhou Zhou froze. In disbelief, she said, "Are you crazy? I think of you as my brother. We're siblings!"
"Siblings?" The man in front of her wiped the lipstick from the corner of his mouth and corrected her with a smile. "We grew up together. We're made for each other."
