I am just an ordinary person! Why do you like me?

Shi Chenchen huddled in Wen Zhi's arms, not daring to move.

At this moment, the distance between the two was very close, so close that Chenchen could even clearly hear the breathing coming from above his head.

The rain was still falling outside the window, and from time to time there was a faint sound of thunder coming from the distance.

The temperature in the room was slightly cooler. Although the rain outside did not fall into the room, there was still a gloomy and damp air.

Wen Zhi’s eyes were as black as a ball of ink that could not be dissolved.

He grabbed Shi Chenchen's hand and moved forward further, slowly inserting his fingers into her fingertips like last time.

The two intertwined their fingers again.

He seemed to have become obsessed with this way of shaking hands since the last time.

His bony knuckles gently stroked the back of her slightly cool hand, as if telling her something silently.

This behavior can greatly increase the contact area between the two people's hands, which can always easily please him.

He felt Shi Chenchen in his arms, and she was emitting a faint scent of jasmine, which made him involuntarily want to get closer.

Unlike before, the two were in darkness, and the slightly panicked expressions between them could still be hidden in the darkness.

It was also different from the last time. Shi Chenchen was drunk. He held her horizontally, and she stayed in his arms obediently, murmured sweetly.

This time, in the dim light, the two of them were thinking about the boundary between family affection and love.

It becomes blurred along with the misty rainy day.

Realizing this, Wen Zhi inexplicably felt a little heated in his heart. The quiet attitude of the girl in his arms seemed to be hinting at him——

Can go further.

Go one step further.

He also wanted to get closer to her.

The light outside the window was mostly blocked by dark clouds. It was clearly not sunset yet, but it seemed as if night had fallen.

The dim skylight filtered through the gaps in the curtains next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, shining onto the girl's delicate, fair face and reflecting the slightly trembling starlight in her eyes.

The fallen pink rose petals around seemed to hint at some kind of foreshadowing.

Wen Zhi further tightened his shackles on her, and he gradually increased the strength, seemingly giving the girl in his arms no chance to escape.

Just as the color of his eyes grew darker, just before everything seemed to be going out of control...

But I felt——

The girl in his arms was trembling slightly, and although it was barely audible, Wen Zhi still noticed it.

She...is scared.

Wen Zhi realized this, and in an instant -

I lost all the strength I had gathered before.

How could he bully Shi Chenchen who was in his arms and didn't know the truth? She was obviously his most beloved sister.

However, he used the truth that he already knew to bully Shi Chenchen, who thought they were siblings.

Of course he knew how difficult it was for a person to transcend kinship ties and break the rules to walk towards another road full of unknowns but definitely full of thorns.

However, for his own selfish desires, he forced her to become like himself.

Obviously, she is just a simple little girl in this world.

Not to mention that she only regards me as a brother. Even if she has feelings for me, as her nominal brother, I cannot take the initiative to lead her astray.

Feeling the slight trembling in his arms, Wen Zhi intertwined his fingers with hers, and finally did it like last time -

Slowly withdrew.

He gradually distanced himself from her. He looked at the still calm face of the girl in his arms, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

If she hadn't just trembled unconsciously, maybe...

Wen Zhi finally decided to let her go for the time being.

He looked at the girl in front of him with slightly deep eyes and smiled meaningfully.

"Afraid?"

"That was a close call just now. The vase almost hit you."

...

Shi Chenchen returned to the room.

The shock on his face has not yet completely disappeared.

She could still remember the last sound of Wen Zhi's voice in her ear.

And his eyes as dark as the night.

After letting her go, he calmly picked up the vase placed on the floor tiles beside him.

Between the collisions, a crisp "ding" sound was heard, which was short and sharp.

In an instant, the two were pulled out of the charming and ambiguous atmosphere.

Shi Chenchen's heartbeat, which was hanging in his throat, slowly settled back into his stomach.

She felt a little relieved when she saw Wen Zhi's eyes were still as calm as ink after he let him go.

Although she already felt something was wrong in her heart, she still thought of many reasons to reasonably explain Wen Zhi's behavior.

Maybe, he was afraid that he would be hit by the vase, so he hugged himself to comfort himself.

After all, the vase almost hit his head just now. Fortunately, Wen Zhi reacted quickly and caught the vase.

Thinking of this, Shi Chenchen felt a little scared.

She had forgotten that she was almost hit on the head by the vase just now. The vase was very heavy.

If you fall from a cabinet that is not too low and hit your head, the consequences will be disastrous.

Besides, she has to take the midterm exam tomorrow. She has been preparing for this exam for so long. What if she suddenly gets injured the day before the exam and is unable to take it?

She would be really speechless.

Speaking of which, she suddenly remembered that she went out to eat something to fill her stomach.

As a result, being interrupted by Wen Zhiyi not only made her thoughts a little confused, but also...

Haven’t had dinner yet!

Shi Chenchen then stood up, but this time she pushed open the door carefully and saw that the living room was still dark.

No one.

Even through the gap at the bottom of Wen Zhi's door opposite, there was no light at all.

It seemed like he had just gone out.

Shi Chenchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know why, but now she was a little afraid to be alone with Wen Zhi.

She always felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart, as if she was driving a speeding racing car on a winding and rugged mountain road, on the edge of falling into the abyss at any moment.

It is a fear of unknown risks.

After realizing that there was no one outside, Shi Chenchen's body, which was clinging to the door, gradually relaxed.

She opened the door and walked into the room.

The floor, which was originally covered with flower petals, was now cleaned up by Wen Zhi.

He also placed the vase carefully on the coffee table in the living room, no longer in its previous location.

Now, there is only a lonely photo of the two of them left on the cabinet.

Shi Chenchen's eyes darkened slightly, and she picked up the photo of the two of them again.

She still remembered that this photo was taken at the Huadeng Festival after she fell ill. Although their relationship was still a little unfamiliar at that time, it was much better than when they first met.

Wen Zhi showed his concern on the surface, which was different from before. Unconsciously, the two of them began to look more and more like a real pair of siblings.

It was then that she revealed her true disguise.
