Don't you just think that Li Mianmian's appearance today is different from your usual impression? Then it's appropriate to admit that she has changed, that she has grown up and become more beautiful, right?

...Although this seems a bit difficult for him.

I don't know why, he rehearsed it in his mind several times, but he just couldn't say it out easily.

He himself didn't quite understand why it was so hard to praise his sister.

No.

To be precise, it's not that he doesn't understand.

But even deep down in his heart, he didn’t really want to admit it——

Just at a certain moment, he had a very dirty thought in his heart.

He finds her very attractive.

It might have only been a brief moment, but he was hooked.

Or... it's not just a short moment at all.

Gu Yanci felt strong rejection and disgust in his heart, causing him to deliberately suppress all possible emotions.

Maybe you can understand it if you think about it deeply.

But he didn't want to think about it deeply.

When only a hint of these thoughts surfaced, he immediately suppressed them all.

Then only the contempt, insult, and disgust for myself remain in my mind.

The more this happens, the harder it is for him to return to normal.

So after thinking about it, he decided to face up to the thoughts he had suppressed.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to depression. He has never thought that it is better to block things than to block them, and he has never encountered a situation where he cannot stop them even if they are blocked.

Today is the first time.

Obviously it wasn't very severe when it first appeared, but the more he tried to block it, the more violent his reaction became, and his heartbeat even began to accelerate, and his face felt a little hot.

How can I face Li Mianmian if this continues?

So he tried to think from another angle.

He has to admit that he is a normal man, a straight man who likes women.

Isn't it normal for me to feel a little excited when I see a beautiful woman like this?

To put it more broadly, even if he is a woman who likes men, he can express his appreciation when he sees a beautiful woman, right?

It is human nature to love beauty.

What's so sinful about this?

Wouldn't it be nice to brag about it openly?

Therefore, Gu Yanci boasted before he could think clearly, and as expected, he immediately felt much relieved.

But Li Mianmian's heartbeat accelerated due to his words.

It wasn't because she was shy, but because she remembered what the boy had said to her before.

"...Is it beautiful..." She tugged at the hem of her skirt very nervously, "Really, really?"

Gu Yanci laughed: "Am I the first to praise you?"

Li Mianmian bit her lip.

Gu Yanci noticed something was wrong, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"..."

Li Mianmian couldn't speak.

In fact, she was so depressed that she was going to explode.

I was distracted by Gu Yanci's injury just now, so I didn't feel it for the time being.

Now that she thought about it, she began to tremble uncontrollably.

But she still couldn't say it.

Especially in front of Gu Yanci.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally just shook her head: "Nothing, I want to go to bed."

Gu Yanci observed her for a moment, but he didn't have the heart to push her, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you go ahead."

He originally wanted to order a takeaway to make up for the late night snack that Li Mianmian didn't get, but it seemed like she wouldn't be in the mood anymore.

The two of them went back to the bedroom.

In the dead of night, while lying on the bed, the emotions that Gu Yanci had finally dispelled surged up again.

All I can think about is Li Mianmian.

All kinds of Li Mianmian.

It's strange that they only spent less than half a month together after they reunited.

But the memory of this short half month seems to have completely replaced those two years.

Gu Yanci was even surprised to find that when he recalled those things about the boy now, he could no longer remember most of them.

Only then did he vaguely realize that what he had recalled over the past four years was actually more like a story compiled subjectively.

In the long time that passed, he could not remember many things in the past clearly, and most of those scenes of self-comfort and self-satisfaction were actually fake and shoddy imitations.

In his memory, Li Mianmian was not a fifteen-year-old girl at all.

Over the past few years, her image in his mind has become that of a child with a six- or seven-year-old mind who doesn't understand anything.

He only remembered the moments when he took care of Li Mianmian, and selectively forgot the moments when Li Mianmian was independent, stubborn and brave.

It wasn't until they met again that he realized that his previous memory was wrong.

He remembered that Li Mianmian was actually very beautiful when she was in her second year of high school. Not only her classmates at that time, but also her male classmates in high school often cast ambiguous glances at her.

There is also an old beast named Xu Tingmo who even bluntly said that he wanted to chase her.

He finally realized that there was only a two-year age difference between him and Li Mianmian.

So what qualifications does he have to face her with the attitude of an elder.

He calls himself "brother", but what he really cares about is being a father.

That night, Gu Yanci couldn't fall asleep thinking about it until early in the morning. He felt that he should have figured out the seniority issue between himself and Li Mianmian now.

But there is one problem that becomes even more difficult to ignore.

In fact, he has always paid attention to this issue, but in the past, he paid more attention to it intellectually and did not distinguish it emotionally.

Now it seems like I have to figure it out.

——How should he and Li Mianmian get along?

Although I have always thought of treating her as my biological sister, she is not my biological sister after all. Should I avoid suspicion?

Gu Yanci does not have a biological sister, nor even a cousin.

There is only one half-brother, Gu Xuanlang, but the two of them get along like half enemies.

So he doesn't know what kind of degree ordinary brothers and sisters should maintain between each other.

There were many things that he thought were okay at first glance, but seemed inappropriate when he thought about them more carefully.

Also, should I be condemned for the moment when I was absent-minded tonight?

He had clearly convinced himself before, but now that he was thinking again, he fell into the torture of confusion again.

Because he vaguely felt that he was not just appreciating it at that time.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanci couldn't help but raise his hand and put it on his heart.

The scene when Li Mianmian lowered her head to bandage him was replayed in her mind, and even the warm touch of her breath spraying on her skin was extremely clear.

Still itchy.

It seems to have taken root in my heart, and I can't stop scratching it.

And now it's not just in the heart.

The itch seemed to be spreading everywhere, making even his throat start to itch.

It was so itchy that he couldn't sleep.

Gu Yanci felt increasingly thirsty, so he went out to get a glass of cold water.

When he came back, he passed by the master bedroom and suddenly heard something coming from inside.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yanci raised his legs and pushed the master bedroom door open a gap——

It's her cry.
