Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

"Big brother!" Seeing that Lu Yun had come all the way to find her, Long Lingling's face instantly lit up with joy.

"Weren't you clapping for me just now?" Lu Yunshi said with a smile as he gently patted Long Lingling's head as he approached her.

"I promised you when I came back that I would come to see you, but I was too busy with the assessment. Don't blame me, big brother."

"Yes, I know. Big brother is just busy, he's not lying to me." Feeling the other's touch, Long Lingling's body stiffened, and she could only respond to Lu Yunshi's words in a mechanical tone.

'This...' Li Hongying stared intently at Long Lingling's extremely lewd parts. It was too shameless, too vulgar, too... excessive.

Such an appearance is simply unfair.

What gives you the right to be so close to my boss? He's never even touched me...

Hey! It seems to be touching me. Oh well, this little brat is nothing to be afraid of.

At this moment, Lu Yunshi withdrew his hand. He noticed that Long Lingling's body was trembling slightly, as if she didn't like the head-patting behavior. In order to prevent the head-patting behavior from turning into a lewd act, it was better to stop in time.

"Lingling, let me introduce you. These three are the older brother's younger brother and younger sister."

Upon hearing this, the sixth brother nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth over Long Lingling, as if trying to determine her worth.

Li Hongying didn't react at all, but Lao Qi stepped forward with a fawning expression. "Oh my, what a cute little sister! Little sister, come here to your brother, brother has candy for you."

"Strange uncle!" Upon seeing the seventh brother's strange behavior, Long Lingling, who was initially disappointed that Lu Yunshi had stopped, subconsciously took a step back.

"Strange uncle, where is the strange uncle? Tell your brother quickly, and your brother will help you beat him up." The seventh brother, who had no self-awareness whatsoever, turned around and looked around twice.

Seeing this, Lu Yunshi shook his head slightly, pushed the seventh brother aside, gave the sixth brother a look, and after seeing that the sixth brother understood his meaning, walked to the seventh brother's side and controlled him, he continued to speak to Long Lingling.

"Lingling, didn't you want to make friends before? If you'd like, your older brother's younger brother and sister can be your friends too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yunshi felt several gazes fall on him. He frowned and looked up, only to see several strong men and women with different hair colors staring intently at him from a dozen meters away, their eyes filled with hostility.

Long Lingling seemed to have noticed something as well. She cautiously glanced back before quickly turning her gaze away.

"me......"

Long Lingling stammered and couldn't finish a sentence. Seeing this, Lu Yunshi smiled gently. "It's okay, just tell your big brother if you're willing or not, you don't need to worry about anything else."

Whether it was the magic of Lu Yunshi's words or the high level of trust Long Lingling had in him, her hesitation seemed to dissipate in just a few words. However, she secretly glanced at Li Hongying and the other two before finally shaking her head.

"I think... I'll pass. I feel like my older sister and brother don't really... like me."

Long Lingling originally wanted to say that Li Hongying and the others were not normal, but considering Lu Yunshi in front of her, she changed her words in the end.

Lu Yunshi felt a little disappointed after being rejected, but he didn't try to persuade the other party further; he simply nodded.

"Alright, if Lingling doesn't want to, then forget it. But as compensation for not being able to come see you sooner, if you have anyone you want to be friends with, you can come to me. I can help you."

Upon hearing this, Long Lingling stared at Lu Yunshi's eyes for a few seconds, her expression blank. After a while, she hummed in agreement, and then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly asked a question.

"really?"

"Hmm?" Lu Yunshi blinked. "Looks like Lingling has found someone new she wants to befriend?"

Hearing this, Long Lingling became a little embarrassed and nodded hesitantly. "She helped me a lot when I entered the academy, but when I said I wanted to be friends with her, she didn't agree."

"I see." Lu Yunshi thought for a moment and then agreed. "Okay, then find some time later, Lingling, take me to meet him. Big brother will do his best to help you make friends with him."

Next, Lu Yunshi told Long Lingling his address and then planned to leave. He still needed to see Shangguan Yue, who had openly given him preferential treatment this time. It would be somewhat impolite to see her too early.

However, before leaving, Long Lingling called out to Lu Yunshi and rubbed her two little fists together a few times.

"Is there something you need?" Lu Yunshi asked with a smile.

"No...it's nothing, take care, big brother." As if deflated by Lu Yunshi's question, Long Lingling laughed awkwardly twice.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Lu Yunshi understood that Long Lingling was not being sincere. He turned back to Long Lingling's side and said something in a threatening tone.

"You lied just now. I saw it. I'm going to tell Grandpa Thor. He'll eat my belly button!"

"Ah? No!" Long Lingling clutched her stomach in alarm, but when she saw Lu Yunshi grinning mischievously, she stomped her foot on the ground.

"Big brother, you're so mean, you lied to me."

"Haha, it seems she really did lie. Tell me quickly, and I won't tattle." Lu Yunshi felt helpless. Although this child had the terrifying strength to pound his chest with her little fists, she was still too easy to fool, which made him unconsciously want to protect her.

Long Lingling pursed her lips, her expression slightly unnatural, and said, "I...I just wanted to say, can...can I...be considered friends with my older brother now?"

Upon hearing this question, Lu Yunshi paused for two seconds. Long Lingling was also trembling with fear, afraid that the other party would give an answer she didn't want. Suddenly, a wave of regret washed over her. If she hadn't said anything, she could have fooled herself. So what if her belly button was gone?

Suddenly, Lu Yunshi burst into laughter. "Don't overthink it. We've been through thick and thin together. Since you call me 'big brother,' you'll be my little sister from now on. But I guess you've never had a real friend before, so if you want, I'll be your first friend."

After saying that, Lu Yunshi glanced at the group of men and women who were still staring at him, and looked into Long Lingling's eyes as he said, "Then, as a friend, if anyone bullies you, you must tell your big brother right away."

Overwhelmed by immense joy, Long Lingling could no longer hear what Lu Yunshi was saying. As if her brain had short-circuited, no matter what he said, she could only nod at him with a silly grin.

"Yes! Yes! Big brother is right."
