Senior brother is so awesome!

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! After thinking it over, she felt she was being too saintly. What did the life or death of a petty thief have to do with her? She took him in after he was injured, and even dared to try to save him? Yang Shanshan felt like her brain was fried.

After eating her meal with a restless mind, she crawled into bed and went to sleep. The ostrich therapy worked; once she fell asleep, she didn't want to think about anything. *Whatever*, she just wanted to be a carefree couch potato; why should she add unnecessary worries to herself?

To her dismay, her repeated self-hypnosis failed to put her to sleep. Those black, gem-like eyes beneath his long eyelashes appeared before her as soon as she closed her eyes. Although she had never seen his face after removing his veil, she imagined that someone with such eyes must be dazzling. Sigh, she thought, she should stop thinking about it and focus on healing her injuries first. She hoped the little thief would take good care of himself and not die too soon.

After lunch, her senior brothers came to visit her one after another, each bringing small gifts, which made Yang Shanshan very happy. Strangely, her eldest senior brother was the only one missing, so she whispered to the little boy who was lying by her bedside, asking her, "Hey, do you know why the eldest senior brother didn't come?"

The little boy glared at her with wide eyes and said loudly, "What are you 'hey' for? I'm your senior brother, don't be disrespectful." Even when he was angry, his adorable appearance was still funny.

Yang Shanshan quickly begged for forgiveness, as she needed his help now. "Junior Brother, I was wrong. Chan'er thought we had a good relationship, so she didn't call you Senior Brother. Don't mind it."

The young boy was visibly pleased to hear this. "Since you know you're wrong, I'll reluctantly tell you that our eldest brother..." He stopped abruptly, staring at her and looking her up and down.

"what happened?"

"You seem to care a lot about your senior brother, missing him after just one day?" The little boy glanced away from her, sat down next to his third senior brother who was drinking tea, picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, leaving Yang Shanshan, who was unable to move on the bed, anxiously waiting.

Yang Shanshan was both amused and exasperated. She thought the woman looked jealous, so she said, "Tell me or not, fine, don't tell me then, this is ridiculous."

Before the young boy could retort, his fourth senior brother spoke first: "Junior brother, you're just being mysterious. The reason your eldest senior brother didn't come is because he's interrogating a thief and doesn't have time to come."

Yang Shanshan noticed that when her third senior brother heard the interrogation, he paused for a moment while fanning himself, then resumed. His expression remained unchanged, a haughty and aloof one; the smile was faint, but it didn't reach his eyes, like a mask.

She nodded, gave her fourth senior brother a sweet smile, and asked, "I see. So, what do you plan to do with that little thief, Master?"

The fourth senior brother grinned slyly and said in a sympathetic tone, "You're probably in big trouble. If you fall into the hands of the eldest senior brother, it'll be fine if you confess obediently, but if you resist stubbornly, you'll probably lose half your life even if you don't die. You know, the eldest senior brother is notorious for..." He didn't finish his sentence, but just stared at Yang Shanshan and chuckled.

The rest was self-evident; her senior brother was notoriously cruel and stern. Aside from herself, a newcomer unaware of the situation, everyone on the mountain treated him with utmost respect, as if he were the King of Hell. Thinking of this, she felt a pang of self-pity. She was the most pitiful one, being taken advantage of by that cruel king of hell without any power to fight back. This was merely a kiss; if he were to become too predatory and try to take things further, she would truly be devoured without even knowing it… Waaah…

The second senior brother smiled and stepped forward to take her wrist and check her pulse. Seeing that Yang Shanshan's expression was not right, he quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is your injury hurting again?"

Yang Shanshan gently shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with sorrow. She grasped her second senior brother's hand, the warm, rough touch bringing her a sense of peace. Her second senior brother, on the other hand, was slightly startled at first, but did not pull away. He instead held her soft, boneless hand in his own. Fortunately, his wide sleeves concealed their grip, so no one else could see it. Suddenly, she felt that she wasn't entirely without support.

After a while, everyone said goodbye and left. The second senior brother stayed behind to prepare medicine for her. As the little boy left, he glared at her fiercely, full of warning. The expression on his chubby face almost made Yang Shanshan spit out her drink.

The noisy room suddenly quieted down, leaving only her and her second senior brother. A tranquil atmosphere surrounded them. Yang Shanshan regretted her impulsive actions just now, her eyes darting around, not daring to look at him. Impulsiveness is a devil, it is a devil! She had taken advantage of him without even realizing it.

Her awkward expression caught her second senior brother's eye, and he couldn't help but show a doting look in his eyes. His heart seemed to be filled as well. He sat on the edge of the bed, watching the little girl who was almost suffocating under the covers, and gently pulled the covers away. "Don't hide anymore, it's not good to suffocate." He said with a smile, making Yang Shanshan blush even more.

Her second senior brother pulled her little hand out from under the covers. She pulled her hand back sharply, her face turning bright red. "Um, second senior brother, I was just being careless, so, so please don't mind it."

The second senior brother looked at his empty palm with a hint of surprise, then smiled again, "I just wanted to see how your pulse is."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shanshan's face turned as red as if it were about to bleed. Oh no, she felt like banging her head against a wall and dying.
