He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Zhou Yan snorted coldly: "What? Did I disturb you?"

Wei Yinuo thought to herself: Knowing it's a bother, why did you come?

She gave Zhou Yan a fake smile: "No, no, hehehe..."

Zhou Yan walked straight in, stood in front of Xu Ning, and asked with a serious expression, "What were you picking just now?"

Faced with this question, Xu Ning seemed a little flustered. He scratched his head shyly and then answered softly, "Brother... I... I was just feeding Nuonuo fruit..."

Upon hearing this explanation, Zhou Yan's brows furrowed even more, and his voice clearly revealed a suppressed anger.

"Doesn't she have hands of her own? Does she need you to feed her? How old are you? Don't you know the difference between men and women?"

Upon hearing these words, Wei Yinuo, who was standing to the side, was speechless.

She casually placed the phone she was playing with on the table beside her, rolled her eyes, and retorted to Zhou Yan, "Uncle, you're really old-fashioned. Aning and I grew up together since we were little."

When we were little, we often bathed together. He was just feeding me some fruit, what's the big deal? Why are you so angry?

Zhou Yan's body suddenly stiffened, and he froze on the spot.

Was my reaction really that strong?

He couldn't help but think that.

The hand gripping the bag tightened unconsciously, as if it were about to burst.

He took a deep breath, trying to control the surging emotions in his heart, then slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Xu Ning, trying to make his voice sound calm.

No classes this afternoon?

Xu Ning nodded and replied softly, "Yes."

Upon hearing this answer, he frowned slightly and pressed further, "Aren't you going to class?"

Xu Ning seemed oblivious to the emotions in his words, but looked at Wei Yinuo with some reluctance and said softly, "Nuonuo, I'll come to keep you company after school, you must wait for me."

Wei Yinuo smiled and replied, "Okay, don't forget to buy it for me."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't forget."

Xu Ning quickly assured him, then turned to Zhou Yan standing to the side and said worriedly, "Brother, although you are an elder, please don't be harsh with her. Nuonuo is a patient now."

Zhou Yan waved his hand impatiently and scolded, "Why are you talking so much? Get your ass to school right now!"

Although reluctant, Xu Ning still walked slowly toward the ward door, turning back every few steps.

Every few steps, he would turn back to look at Wei Yinuo.

Until they disappeared at the door of the ward.

Zhou Yan looked at Wei Yinuo and found that she was tilting her head and looking towards the door of the ward.

He turned around and saw Xu Ning still leaning against the door, looking reluctant to leave, which made him furious.

With a furrowed brow and a gloomy expression, he strode aggressively toward the door.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yan reached out and yanked the door open.

With a creak, the door was fully opened, startling Xu Ning, who was pressed against it.

He straightened up, looking a little guilty: "Brother, what are you doing? You scared me."

Zhou Yan, his face dark, spoke to Xu Ning in an annoyed tone.

"Are you leaving or not? If you keep dawdling, I'm going to call your mom."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning immediately panicked. He quickly put on a fawning smile and said urgently, "No, brother, please don't hit me. I'll leave right away and disappear from your sight immediately."

With that, he lifted his foot to leave.

As if suddenly remembering something, Zhou Yan raised his head and quickly glanced around the ward, then lowered his voice and warned Xu Ning.

"Remember, you're not allowed to come here again this afternoon, understand?"

Xu Ning had originally planned to leave obediently, but after hearing Zhou Yan's words, he stopped and retorted with a face full of dissatisfaction.

"Why? Why can't I come this afternoon?"

Zhou Yan glared at Xu Ning and raised his voice to scold, "Stop pretending with me. Don't think I don't know what dirty thoughts you have in mind."

Xu Ning was taken aback at first, then retorted with a stiff neck, "How is my thinking dirty? I clearly like him openly and honestly, it's not like what you're saying!"

Hearing Xu Ning's words, Zhou Yan became even angrier and pointed his finger at Xu Ning.

"Like you my foot! How old are you? Do you even know what 'like' means? You're not even fully grown yet, and you're already spouting nonsense here!"

Xu Ning retorted defiantly, "How could I not understand? I've liked Nuonuo since I was little, and it was because of her that I chose to repeat a grade!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan felt a headache coming on.

He frowned and said, "Yinuo is still a student. Dating will affect her studies. Do you want to start dating too early?"

Xu Ning stubbornly retorted, "Who said that being in a relationship will necessarily affect your studies? We're in a relationship where we both make progress!"

Zhou Yan's eyes instantly turned cold as he stared intently at Xu Ning and asked, "So, you two have already started dating?"

Facing Zhou Yan's sharp gaze, Xu Ning felt a little flustered, but she still mustered up her courage and replied, "So what? We're all grown up now, not children anymore. What's the big deal about dating?"

Just as Zhou Yan was about to reprimand him, Xu Ning interrupted him first.

"Besides, my mom is very supportive of me and Nuonuo being together. When we were little, she even planned to arrange a marriage between us. So even if you complain to my mom, it won't do any good."

Besides, it's just a relationship, how much of an impact can it have?

"Brother, why are you objecting? You've dated several people yourself, but I only have one, and you're objecting to that too? Double standards!"

Xu Ning's rapid-fire words left Zhou Yan speechless for a moment.

He could only stand there dumbfounded, unsure how to respond.

Why object?

He didn't know why he was against it.

All I know is that I don't want Xu Yinuo to date my younger brother.

He said somewhat guiltily, "Anyway, I don't care, I just won't agree."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the ward, slamming the door shut behind him.

Bang.

Wei Yinuo, who was playing a game, was startled by the sudden sound of the door slamming.

She looked up at Zhou Yan, speechless: "Uncle, what are you doing? You scared me to death."

Zhou Yan let out a heavy sigh, walked up to her, and looked down at her.

"No premature love."

Wei Yinuo was so engrossed in playing the game that she didn't pay attention for a moment.

He responded while playing the game, "What?"

Zhou Yan was so angry at her perfunctory attitude that he grabbed her phone directly.

When her phone was taken away, Wei Yinuo complained, "Uncle, why did you take my phone? Give it back, or I'm going to get beaten to death."

Zhou Yan stared intently at her.

She confessed her feelings to me before, and now she's dating Xu Ning.

Are all women this fickle?

The more Zhou Yan thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.

"How old are you? Still playing video games? How childish."
