Quick transmigration, she doesn't love anyone!

The exam went smoothly, except that her dad left right after dropping her off at the door. I can understand; he's been with her these past two days and hasn't had time to spend with his other kids, so he must be worried.

Zhan Yan entered the house humming a cheerful tune, and was momentarily surprised when she saw the people in the living room.

"elder brother?"

Zhan Yi paused for a moment, seeing that she was in a good mood. He wondered how the exam had gone, but in any case, it was good that the exam hadn't affected her mood.

"Hmm, where's your dad?" He told her to focus on her studies these next few days and spend time with her during her exams. Is this how he's been supporting her?

Zhan Yan frowned. This terrible way of addressing him made it sound like he wasn't her father, even though she didn't think her brother had ever called her "Dad" before.

"He's leaving now, Dad's very busy." A thoughtful eldest daughter, Zhan Yan, also a "sea king" (a term for a womanizer), understands her father.

Seeing her carefree attitude, Zhan Yi stopped talking. Asking how the exam went was inappropriate, and he couldn't find a topic to discuss.

Zhan Yan, however, seemed a little displeased by his silence. After hesitating for a while, she asked in confusion, "Brother, do you not like me very much?"

Zhan Yi was somewhat taken aback by these words.

Zhan Yan was determined not to waste her breath; her hesitation was merely a matter of choosing her words, and this was already her way of asking the question tactfully.

"I know, I don't like studying, and you're very good at studying, so you've always thought I'm not good enough."

Zhan Yi paused for a moment, then said, "No." He didn't think she was unambitious; at most, she was just a good-for-nothing.

Zhan Yan didn't believe his denial.

"If you think it's your opinion, then so be it. I'm not upset. I just don't understand you. You were the one who insisted I study before, and now you're the one who doesn't care about my grades at all. It's so inexplicable."

She was simply complaining. If Zhan Yi really didn't like her as his sister, then she could instantly dislike him as her brother. It wasn't a big deal. She needed to find out the truth before deciding whether or not she wanted him as her brother.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Zhan Yan asked again.

"Brother, do you like me or not?"

She wasn't conflicted; she just wanted a yes or no answer. As for what the answer would be, she wasn't expecting or nervous.

Zhan Yi looked at Zhan Yan, whose eyes held only pure confusion, without a trace of impurity.

After a long while, until Zhan Yan grew impatient, he softly hummed in agreement and stared into her eyes, saying:

"like."

She lowered her eyes again and added, "After all, you are my own sister, there's no reason for me not to like you."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Yan beamed with joy, "Then I like you too, brother~"

She is a very reasonable person and knows exactly how to reciprocate.

Seeing her brother lower his eyes, she smiled and stopped bothering him, then happily went upstairs.

After tidying up for a while, they went downstairs, and Zhan Yi was still sitting in the living room.

"Brother, aren't you busy today?"

Zhan Yi hummed in agreement, then looked up and saw her attire. He pursed his lips and asked, "Going out?"

She just finished her exams today and should get some rest; it's almost time for dinner.

Zhan Yan nodded, "I've finished my exams, I'm going to celebrate with Qiu Qiu, I'm off then, brother."

Zhan Yan left, waving her sleeves without taking a single cloud with her, leaving behind the elderly Zhan Yi, who lives alone.

By 10 p.m., no one had returned.

Zhan Yi couldn't help but make a video call. After a long time, the call connected. He glanced at Zhan Yan and saw that everything was normal. Song Zhi Qiu was indeed in the background. He breathed a sigh of relief without even realizing it, after all, Zhan Yan had a history of lying to him.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Zhan Yi paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you want a driver to pick you up?"

On the other end of the line, Song Zhi Qiu handed Zhan Yan a glass of water. Zhan Yan took a sip and said nonchalantly, "I'm not going home. I'm staying with Qiu Qiu tonight."

Before Zhan Yi could say anything, Zhan Yan said goodbye first, "It's late, I won't say anymore, brother, you should get some rest."

She wasn't attached at all, after all, she had a baby by her side, and what could she possibly talk about with her brother?

Zhan Yi felt a moment of disappointment after the call was disconnected.

Zhan Yan no longer needs to report to him about anything she does; she's very independent, which is the result he wanted—to maintain a normal distance.

But he wasn't happy.

The doctor said that if spending time together doesn't work, try keeping your distance to forget the memory.

He had maintained his distance for over a year, and he felt that was enough. Now, if they were to get to know each other again, his thoughts would definitely be normal and wouldn't stray from the right path.

This sense of loss is probably a normal older brother's reluctance to let his younger sister grow up and become independent.

Therefore, we can no longer maintain this distance; doing so would be counterproductive, affecting the sibling relationship and harming family harmony.

Zhan Yi convinced himself to stop hiding outside and went back home to live normally.

But Zhan Yan had already gone far away.

For the next few days, Zhanyan didn't spend a single day at home; she always stayed out overnight, since there were many babies.

Zhan Yi finally couldn't help but call her again, but this time, looking at Xu Qingye in the background, he was furious and wanted to lash out.

Why haven't you been home lately?

Zhan Yan was surprised for a moment when she heard his words. "Huh? There's no one at home. You and Dad are often not home. It's empty. When I come home, there's no one to talk to."

So what's wrong with her coming out to live with the baby? They have other homes, and she has many other homes too.

The accusation that Zhan Yi was about to utter caught in his throat, and his tone softened.

"I'll be staying at home from now on, come back and live here."

Zhan Yan frowned and glanced at Xu Qingye. "But I kind of like living outside." Going home is so boring.

Zhan Yi was furious. Did he prefer living outside or just enjoying the company of women? What time was it? A man and a woman alone in a room, what kind of behavior was this?

I silently reminded myself that she was an adult.

After a long pause, he took a deep breath and said:

"It feels so empty without you at home, I don't feel comfortable staying here. Shall I come pick you up now?"

Zhan Yan was in a dilemma when she heard this. On one side was her brother, and on the other was her baby. Actually, her brother was quite good to her, often giving her money. Her baby could sleep anytime. As for her brother, leaving him alone at home seemed like abusing an elder.

She was conflicted, while Zhan Yi was waiting for the verdict.

After a long pause, Zhan Yan reluctantly said, "Alright then."

Upon hearing this answer, Zhan Yi immediately stood up. "Okay, send me the address. I'll be there in a bit."

A few words were enough to make Xu Qingye lose a smile.

Blood ties are amazing!

Feeling wronged, Xu Qingye was the most wronged person in the world at that moment. He looked at Zhan Yan with a deep gaze, making her feel guilty.

She felt guilty for less than a second, then said, "What are you comparing me to my brother? He's an empty-nest elderly man, and we should be more understanding of him at our age."

My brother usually gives me too much money; he's clearly working hard to earn money to support the family. It's really immoral to leave him alone at home now.

Despite his disappointment, Xu Qingye didn't really resent Zhan Yan; in fact, he liked her quite a bit.

He leaned closer and hugged her tightly, then pressed his forehead against hers and coaxed her softly, "Yan Yan, how about I marry into your family? We can live together at home from now on, and your brother won't have to worry about being lonely."

Zhan Yan looked disgusted. "No! You're too clingy!"

Even if Jiang Yizhou were to marry into the family, he shouldn't be a clingy person.

Xu Qingye was injured and, feeling a little jealous, rubbed against her neck, saying, "I can't change that."

He knew Zhan Yan was annoying. He had tried, but it was impossible for him to change. He couldn't even pretend anymore; he just liked her.

Besides, he's not stupid. These past two years have been enough for him to see Zhan Yan's true nature. If it weren't for his persistent pursuit, Zhan Yan would have broken up with him long ago.

She doesn't dislike the old, but she's too quick to embrace the new.

Zhan Yan wasn't annoyed when he heard this. Let him stick to you, he's different from the other babies, he really does sleep very well.

Aside from being clingy, they are really docile.
