Inside the villa.
"Finally got everything sorted out."
Qi Lin stretched her arms.
Though she was supposedly tidying the room, she was really just putting clothes and daily necessities from the luggage where they belonged. The villa was simply too large.
"I'm going to take a shower first. If you're bored, go have a look around, but don't wander too far."
Qi Lin spoke to Lin Yan indulgently. Young people were curious by nature, after all, and she wanted to soak in the bath and relax properly.
"Mm."
Lin Yan did not dislike the tranquil night.
"Did you need something, Miss?"
Lin Yan did not even look in that direction. A lovely figure flashed through the corner of his eye.
Miss froze slightly before breaking into a brilliant smile, carrying a touch of feminine intellectual beauty.
A black short skirt, a figure brimming with feminine charm—when dressed appropriately in private, Miss possessed a mature and gentle temperament.
She was the popular Queen of Super Seminary.
"So you noticed me that quickly."
Miss did not seem embarrassed at all. Her face still wore a warm smile as bright as sunlight.
"You and your sister... you really are close. In times like these, family is undoubtedly the most reassuring harbor and comfort. Unfortunately... I don't have any brothers or sisters."
Her beautiful eyes were filled with loneliness.
To outsiders, Miss was a gentle big sister, mature and steady.
Yet Miss still longed for familial affection deep down. She had never experienced that feeling. Whenever she saw little families gathering beneath the lights, loving couples, and siblings getting along harmoniously.
Beneath her strong exterior, she also had a soft heart.
"I truly envy your Huaxia civilization on Earth. I long to have a home, to have brothers and sisters."
Lin Yan fell silent.
Miss slowly revealed her feelings.
"Could you take a walk with me?"
Miss spoke with a lonely expression.
"Just for a while."
Lin Yan did not refuse. He merely nodded silently.
Beneath the night sky, the two walked side by side.
Leaves from the plane trees drifted down. Miss reached out and caught one, and the tenderness of that moment made her seem like a mother caring for her child.
The occasional passing students all looked at the scene enviously.
Miss looked so serene and gentle at that moment, like a ray of pure sunlight.
"There are so many people at Super Seminary. Just pick one at random to be your little brother or sister. I don't think anyone would refuse."
Lin Yan said.
Who knew how much of it was true and how much was false.
Miss shook her head.
Countless students regarded her as the Goddess of their dreams, but how many of them could treat her like true family?
Not a single one.
What they saw in her was depravity and desire.
Yet in Lin Yan's pure blue eyes, she saw a pure world.
"I only want familial affection. They can't give me that."
Lin Yan smiled lazily.
"Unfortunately, I already have a sister."
Miss chuckled softly.
"Who ever complains about having too many siblings? Doesn't Huaxia civilization value the idea of one big family?"
This woman was really eloquent!
Lin Yan said nothing more and merely continued forward in silence, while Miss followed behind him like an obedient girl.
Step for step.
Miss looked at Lin Yan's back. There would never be another Lin Yan in this universe; he was like a magnet drawing her gaze.
She could not help quickening her pace and reaching out, wanting to touch his azure-blue short hair.
But—
Lin Yan turned around instantly.
Miss's fingertips touched Lin Yan's cheek, and she quickly pulled her hand back.
"Sorry, I saw a leaf stuck in your hair."
"Anything else?"
Lin Yan asked.
Miss even felt her cheeks growing warm. He had not exposed her. How gentle that was.
She hurriedly waved her hands.
"It was already blown away by the wind."
This was the first time Miss had been so moved even by her own lie. Just as she was immersed in that sentimental moment, the sound of military boots striking the ground came from the distance behind them.
Tap, tap, tap!
