Step by step, a gentle breeze leads to a smooth path

After Ting Nan practiced boxing with her older and younger brothers, Gao Haoran waved to her and led her a little further away before saying, "Ting Nan, your younger brother is very focused and doesn't have any distractions, so don't worry. It's just that your older brother, Xiang Qian, is emotionally unstable and a bit restless. Sometimes he practices intensely, and sometimes he just drifts off into a daze."

"What's wrong? He's always been so energetic, Master. Is something on his mind?" Ting Nan had some guesses in her mind.

"For example? What did you discover?" Gao Haoran was quite adept at reading people, which stemmed from his frequent infiltration behind enemy lines. His rudeness and irritability were merely a facade.

Ting Nan didn't hesitate: "Master, my older brother might like Teacher Zuo; he fell in love with her at first sight."

"Oh, and then you have self-awareness, so you become somewhat self-destructive?" Gao Haoran was not surprised; young people are full of enthusiasm.

"How can we comfort him? How can we persuade him to give up? It's impossible for him and Teacher Zuo to be together." Ting Nan's understanding of love comes more from martial arts novels.

Most chivalrous heroes are carefree; if they can't have the one they love, they'll wander the world with their swords. The extreme ones, however, are all about killing, killing, killing—destroying the world, too bloody. Brother, you can't get stuck on this. No matter how good Teacher Zuo is, he's not meant to be.

"Let's be frank. Some things, if left unsaid, will only become a source of inner demons." Gao Haoran saw through this now, realizing he might make the same foolish mistake later.

“Master, can you tell him that I don’t need to be there?” Ting Nan trusted her master.

“No, you talk to him! You are his family.” Gao Haoran felt that it was more appropriate for family members to talk about matters of love and affection; he would feel embarrassed if outsiders did.

"Master, no way, me? You want a little girl like me to talk about love with my brother?" Ting Nan pointed to herself and quickly waved her hand.

Gao Haoran rolled his eyes: "You think you're a little girl now?"

“Master, I’ve always been a child, not an actor.” Upon hearing Nan Wuyu’s words, the master rolled his eyes again.

"You know your brother, you handle it!" Gao Haoran said with great confidence.

"Fine, my brother!" Song Tingnan resigned himself to his fate; adults were just a hassle.

Ting Nan then joined her two older brothers in practicing their martial arts. Suddenly, she turned around and attacked her eldest brother, Zheng Xiangqian. Caught off guard, Zheng Xiangqian stumbled and fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw Ting Nan attack Zheng Ruidong with the same move again. Zheng Ruidong was also caught off guard, but he managed to parry Ting Nan's attack and fought for more than ten rounds before retreating.

"Brother, let's talk!" Ting Nan reached out his hand to Zheng Xiangqian.

Zheng Xiangqian knew he was in a bad situation, and he hated his own anxiety and insecurity, but he couldn't shake it off.

Zheng Ruidong was very obedient and went to get extra help from Gao Haoran.

"Brother, do you like Teacher Zuo?" Ting Nan asked directly.

“Tingnan, you…” Zheng Xiangqian’s face immediately turned red. Although his younger sister was sensible, she was still too old to talk to her about this.

"Brother, are you sure you like Teacher Zuo as a person? Do you know her interests, strengths, and weaknesses?"

"I've only just met her, and we haven't even spoken. How could I possibly know?" Zheng Xiangqian muttered.

"Yes, you don't understand her at all. You like the intellectual, dignified, and elegant type that you've never seen in the countryside, so you're infatuated." Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen pigs run, right? It's just like that, according to Ting Nan.

Zheng Xiangqian didn't speak. Indeed, Zuo Jinyue perfectly matched the image of his dream girl.
