Shen Mian felt helpless. He moved to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand, turned Pei Ye's head over, and made him look at him: "You..."

Shen Mian paused after saying just two words.

Pei Ye's eyes were a little moist, with slightly red corners. He was caught off guard and had his head turned by Shen Mian, which made him look even more flustered. He lowered his eyes to look at the ground, and his long eyelashes trembled.

Cry...crying?

"What's wrong? Does the wound hurt? Or are you worried that you can't get into Fengqi College?...Don't cry, don't cry. Even if you can't get into Fengqi College, you can still go to a very good college with your talent. Our Aye has reached the eighth level of spiritual master at the age of fifteen. If he has resources, he will definitely become a very powerful person in the future...Don't cry, I don't know how to comfort people..." Shen Mian wiped his tears in a panic.

"I'm fine." His voice was muffled. "If I can't get into Fengqi College, I'll stay in Ningxi Town. Sister, come and see me when you're free."

Shen Mian was a little amused and hadn't said anything yet. The window happened to be open and a gust of cold wind blew in. She couldn't help but shiver.

Pei Ye stood up quickly, took a few steps to close the window, then went to get a hand warmer and handed it to Shen Mian.

He was only wearing a single layer of clothing, which was not big and still looked a little empty on him.

"Why are you staying in Ningxi Town? With your great talent, how could you not be admitted to other academies? Besides, it's not certain. A fifteen-year-old spiritualist of the eighth level, if I were Fengqi Academy, I would definitely accept you."

"I don't want to go to another college." He shook his head.

Shen Mian touched his hand, which was cold, and quickly handed him the hand warmer: "Okay, okay, let's all go to Fengqi College. Then why are you crying? What's wrong with you?"

He fell silent again.

"If you don't tell me, I'll be asleep." Shen Mian crawled into the bed, leaving only his head sticking out.

"Sister..." His voice trembled a little, "I never did those things before."

"What's the matter?" Shen Mian didn't understand and looked bewildered.

“Prince Yu looked for me, but I refused and I avoided him… He asked Zhao Ke to… drug me, but I didn’t fall for it and I didn’t look for anyone else…” The young man’s voice became lower and lower, and he was shaking without even realizing it.

"Sister, I'm clean." He raised his head, glanced at Shen Mian's eyes, then looked away as if he had been electrocuted. With his eyes flickering, he repeated, "I'm clean... Don't leave me."

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, but the next second, he fell into a warm embrace.

A hand gently patted his back, and the familiar voice revealed a tenderness never before seen: "I know, I know, our Aye is the cleanest, smartest, and best brother in the world, how can I bear to abandon you?"

Shen Mian held his face with both hands, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and rubbed his face a few more times: "I thought it was nothing, I didn't believe a word that idiot said, of course I believe you!"

Shen Mian smiled, and Pei Ye's slightly red face was reflected in his eyes.

"I'll take you out to play again tomorrow and take a good look around Ningxi Town. This time I won't leave your side for a moment, and no one will bully you anymore, okay?"

Pei Ye's eyes sparkled, he nodded shyly, and his ears turned red.

Shen Mian found it amusing and pinched his ears: "Why is our Aye so cute!"

Pei Ye buried his head in the quilt and didn't dare to look at her: "Sister——"

Shen Mian laughed loudly: "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore, go to sleep, don't let your mind wander, tell me if anything happens, do you hear me?"

Pei Ye was buried in the quilt and uttered "hmm".

The moon was high in the sky. Pei Ye poked his head out from under the quilt, looked at the person on the bed, and called out tentatively, "Sister?"

After two breaths, a sleepy voice came from the bed: "What's wrong?"

"……fine."

"..."

After a long while, Pei Ye quietly leaned over to see if she was asleep, and whispered, "Sister?"

Shen Mian has always been a light sleeper. The habit she developed in the past caused her to wake up at the slightest noise. She was woken up twice in a row by Pei Ye. She suppressed the urge to curse and wanted to see what this guy was trying to do.

"Sister?" Pei Ye called out again in a low voice.

Shen Mian sneered in his heart, you kid better be in trouble.

Not getting a response, Pei Ye cautiously extended his hand.

Shen Mian only felt a still warm hand carefully reaching into the quilt and grasping her hand, holding it tightly.

She was stunned and wanted to turn over, but was afraid that Pei Ye would find out that she was awake.

Pei Ye felt completely relieved only when he held that hand. Shen Mian waited for a while in a stiff sleeping position, and only heard the sound of steady breathing coming from the bedside.

She turned her head and looked at Pei Ye sleeping peacefully, feeling helpless and amused, and cursed softly in her heart.

Brat.
