Even in such a noisy environment, she can sleep very soundly right now.

After finishing a match, Ke Ran wiped his sweat with a towel as he walked towards Yun Yao.

Seeing that Yun Yao had fallen asleep while watching the game, he wasn't angry. He simply took the water from her hand, unscrewed the cap, and drank it in large gulps.

The girl's eyes were closed quietly, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow beneath them.

Her lips remained tightly pursed.

He was clearly exhausted.

For the first time, Ke Ran felt a pang of pity for the girl.

In the past, he would just play with things and then discard them, let alone show any pity for anyone.

He wiped his hands, picked up the school uniform jacket from the chair, and covered her with it.

The female classmates around were all incredibly surprised to see Ke Ran looking at a girl with that kind of gaze for the first time.

The other ex-girlfriends were also filled with hatred.

Why does she deserve this treatment? Why is it her?

When they broke up, no matter how much they cried and begged him to please them, he wouldn't even glance at them and would just turn around and walk away.

Why can Ke Ran treat Yun Yao like this when she's not even his girlfriend?

After the game.

Yun Yao was woken up by her phone alarm.

There were no spectators or matches around, only Ke Ran holding her and letting her rest on his shoulder.

Yun Yao quickly got up from Ke Ran, "You can just wake me up."

Ke Ran felt the warmth in her arms suddenly leave, and felt a little reluctant. "It's okay, you'll feel more comfortable leaning on me."

"I'm going to the library."

"I'll take you there."

"No need."

Yun Yao hurriedly walked down the corridor, not noticing Xie Xingchen, who had a gloomy expression, not far away... His face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes were filled with a mixture of emotions.

Ke Ran sat on the chair for a while, and only got up when Yun Yao's figure disappeared.

But just as he casually walked down the stairs with his hands in his pockets, someone grabbed him and punched him hard.

Ke Ran slumped onto the yellow and blue chair in a disheveled state, licking the wound on the corner of his mouth. "Xie Xingchen, how dare you hit me!"

Xie Xingchen rubbed his wrist, his eyes filled with disdain. "I hit you because Yun Yao is my sister. If you dare to bother her again, it won't just be a matter of one punch."

When Ke Ran heard Xie Xingchen mention his younger sister, he thought of the girl in his memory. Instead of being angry, he laughed and said, "Yeah, you were right to hit me. Next time you want to hit me, just let me know."

"Ha, who's your brother?" It's rare to see someone so shameless.

"Yeah, you're right."

Xie Xingchen smirked and laughed mockingly, "You've had enough girlfriends to form a football team. It's ridiculous that you're pretending to be innocent with me. If you're looking for someone to vent your desires, I suggest you find someone else."

Ke Ran remained noncommittal. He did indeed have desires for Yun Yao, but he had never considered touching her because he couldn't bear to hurt her. "Don't worry, I won't touch her."

Xie Xingchen didn't even glance at him before turning and leaving.

By the time Yun Yao finished her work in the library, it was already dusk, and everyone had left. The sound of footsteps going downstairs echoed throughout the room.

Xie Xingchen stood quietly at the top of the stairs, carrying his bag, waiting for her.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

Xie Xingchen was about to look up at her when another voice called out to him.

"Xie Xingchen!" Wen Yuhan raised her chin slightly and called out to him in a spoiled manner, "Didn't we say we'd meet at the school gate after school? If I hadn't asked around all the way here, I really wouldn't have known you were here."

Xie Xingchen looked at her with a hint of warning, "We'll talk about it later."

"Tell me later? I've been waiting for you for an hour, and you're saying you'll tell me later?"

Helpless, Xie Xingchen lowered his head and leaned closer to her, whispering, "My sister is still here."

Wen Yuhan looked up at the girl behind Xie Xingchen, pursed her lips slightly, and felt a little unhappy. She had heard the gossip about Yun Yao on campus: her parents had passed away and she was now living in Xie Xingchen's house.

"I didn't realize that someone as cold as you would be so kind to a sister who isn't related to you by blood."

Yun Yao was suddenly called upon. She glanced at Wen Yuhan, then at Xie Xingchen, and initially intended to gracefully leave...

But the system spoke up, [Host, how can you leave the scene? You're the villainous female supporting character! You should be showing hostility towards the female lead and possessiveness towards the second male lead.]

[oh……]

Yun Yao feigned wariness and tugged at Xie Xingchen's sleeve, "Brother, who is she? Are you two close?"

Wen Yuhan looked at Yun Yao with disdain as she saw how she wanted to stick to Xie Xingchen.

But considering Xie Xingchen is still here... and I can't let this green tea girl outshine me.

She needs to act gentle, generous, and understanding.

"I met your brother at his part-time job. My name is Wen Yuhan. If you need any help, you can come to me."

Yun Yao completely ignored Wen Yuhan and only spoke to Xie Xingchen.

“Brother, I can earn enough for my living expenses every month now, and I even have some left over. As for the tuition for next semester, I can apply for a student loan from the school.”

Xie Xingchen frowned, a feeling of heartache and annoyance rising in his heart for no apparent reason.

He felt sorry for her, but was angry at himself.

“Yun Yao, instead of wasting your time earning such a small amount of money, you should study your major well. I will take care of the money.”

Wen Yuhan echoed, "That's right, your brother is amazing. You work so hard for a month and you don't earn as much as he does in one night."

"Wen Yuhan!" Xie Xingchen shouted sternly, "If you have nothing to do, you can go home early."

Wen Yuhan gritted her teeth, furious. No one had ever dared to be so fierce to her. Humph, she'd remember him. If she didn't get her revenge, she wouldn't be Wen!

"Hmph, who cares about you!"

Just then, Jiang Yufeng came to visit a colleague who lived in the same dormitory building and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure from behind.

"Yu Han?"

Hearing the familiar, cool voice, Wen Yuhan turned to look at Jiang Yufeng, somewhat pleased, "Brother Yufeng."

Jiang Yufeng was dressed in a black casual outfit, with thick, smooth warm brown hair, and a pair of slender, almond-shaped eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows. His face had distinct, sculpted features.

He slightly raised his head and smiled faintly; in that instant, it was enough to bewitch people.

He strode over and placed one hand on Wen Yuhan's shoulder.

"I've been back for so long, and I've been thinking about going back to have a meal with Uncle Wen, but unfortunately there's just too much going on at school lately."

Wen Yuhan liked this older brother very much when she was a child. He was gentle and handsome, and was simply the prince charming in the hearts of many girls.

“I also heard from my dad that you came to teach at our school, but I’ve never met you.”

"I'm usually quite busy with work, so it's normal that I haven't seen it before."

"No wonder..."

While they were talking, Xie Xingchen pulled Yun Yao away.

Ke Ran, who had been waiting downstairs, intending to wait for Xie Xingchen to leave before going up, did not see him. Instead, he witnessed Yun Yao's dependence and possessiveness, which she had never shown to him before.

If they address each other as brother and sister, do they really just mean they are brother and sister?
