Don't Touch That Sensitive Plant

*

Xu Zhiyou has three older sisters.

Her eldest sister is a career-driven powerhouse. Her second is a socially savvy charmer who can get along with anyone.

Her third sister is resilient and passionate, free-spirited and carefree.

And she is the most doted-on, and most troublesome, baby of the family:

spoiled, complicated, and severely socially anxious.

So her fiercely protective sisters have kept her under their wings, and she's in her twenties without ever having been in a relationship.

The one time she had a crush on someone, he deceived her.

Xu Zhiyou thinks she'll never dare fall for anyone again.

Her three sisters are a little worried, so they decide to find her someone themselves.

Eldest sister: "The man who just took control of the Duan family is top-notch in every way."

Second sister: "And his social circle is so clean, you'd never think he was rich."

Xu Zhiyou: "Why would someone that outstanding ever fall for me?"

Her second sister smiled. "Because, according to my investigation, all kinds of women have tried to get close to him. He probably hasn't met anyone like you before."

Xu Zhiyou said helplessly, "But I'm completely ordinary..."

Her second sister: "Don't be ridiculous. You're the cutest and most charming one in our family."

Third sister: "Being cute isn't enough. Don't forget, you have a million followers even without showing your face, and your value keeps doubling."

If they hadn't protected her, and if she hadn't been so shy, who knows how many men would have pursued her by now.

Her second sister went to great lengths to set up a "little scheme."

Duan Yuncheng looked at the bewildered, nervous Xu Zhiyou sitting in front of him.

"I hear you have three older sisters," he asked thoughtfully.

"Yes... Mr. Duan."

Duan Yuncheng had deep-set features and a cool gaze. When he looked at someone, it was like he was seeing them through a thin mist, revealing not a trace of emotion.

But to Xu Zhiyou, his faint, almost imperceptible pressure felt downright overwhelming.

Duan Yuncheng lowered his eyes and typed a message on his phone, then looked up. "Would you mind having one more older brother?"

Before long, his chauffeur appeared in front of her with gifts worth millions.

Xu Zhiyou was completely stunned. Duan Yuncheng patiently asked again, "Would that be all right?"

"...Yes!"

Duan Yuncheng lightly tapped the table with his finger. "What should you call me?"

"...Big Brother."

"Good girl."

Duan Yuncheng took the car keys from his chauffeur. "I'll take you home."

Xu Zhiyou hurriedly said, "The gifts, I..."

"They're for your sisters."

Duan Yuncheng said coolly, "If I'm going to take their little sister away, I have to show some sincerity."

Xu Zhiyou had thought this was just a polite way of rejecting her.

But she never expected Duan Yuncheng to truly enter her life as her "older brother."

He showered her with designer jewelry, personally drove her around, and took care of her in every way, leaving her no room to refuse.

She felt like she was about to buckle under the strain of their relationship.

Finally, one day, after she'd had a little to drink, she lost control of her emotions and grabbed his sleeve.

"Why are you doing this... Why do you want to be my older brother?"

He froze for a moment. A surge of intense emotion flashed in his eyes, but he didn't let her see it.

"When we first met, I was afraid that if I told you the truth, your sisters would kick me out of the running."

He paused. "I was also afraid of scaring you."

"Scaring me?"

"Not just scaring you. With your personality, you'd run away."

Duan Yuncheng lifted his hand and gently brushed the tear-streaked cheek.

"So first, I learned how to be an older brother."

Xu Zhiyou stared blankly into his deep eyes and heard him say softly:

"Then I can learn how to... be your man. Isn't that better?"
