Her heart felt warm and cozy, as if it was being bathed in hot water, extremely comfortable. This is what it feels like to be cherished by an older brother; it's different from the affection between lovers.

Although Long Chengtian was a bit rough and spoke without considering his words, Wenran could tell that he truly cared for her. She really liked this kind of straightforwardness—saying whatever is on one’s mind without needing to guess or fear causing displeasure. His emotions were so clearly written all over his face, even their first meeting didn’t stop him from showing how much he valued her.

Du Di made an excuse to leave and left Long Chengtian alone with Wenran. Smiling, Wenran asked Long Chengtian, "Did you just arrive"

“Yeah, I just arrived. I was about to see you when Du Di said that you had just fallen asleep. So I didn’t wake you up. It seems I’ve still managed to disturb your sleep. Do I really speak so loudly” Long Chengtian asked Wenran in confusion.

He had already been speaking very softly.

Seeing the bandage around her neck and that she wasn't looking too good, he couldn’t help but feel心疼 for her and was deeply afraid that she hadn’t rested well. So he deliberately lowered his voice to speak.

"It's fine," Wenran smiled as she said this and patted the seat beside her, "Sit down."

Long Chengtian sat down with a pleased look on his face; he was in such a good mood. As soon as he sat down, he couldn’t stop praising Wenran, "Little sister, your temper is really good, and you’re also very beautiful. You're much better than Du Di’s little sister."

Du Yueying

Wenran thought that Du Yueying had even hit her before; if he found out, would he beat up Du Yueying In her opinion, Long Chengtian wouldn't care whether the person was a man or woman when it came to beating someone up.

Not even checking if he's human.

"Where do you live now"

"I just arrived today and haven't decided where to stay yet. Later, I'll find a nearby hotel so that I can be with you at any time," Long Chengtian said happily.

Warming smiled; was this the generation gap

She wanted to ask about his family's home address, not where he would stay tonight.

"Our family is in Europe," Long Chengtian wasn't stupid and saw Warming's thoughts. "Eastern Europe, Russia, that’s the house my parents left for us."

Warming hummed; Russia…

So far away.

"Du Di said you're studying in America," Long Chengtian mentioned. "Is it tough"

"It's not hard at all, I'm both studying and working, very fulfilling." Warming replied; they were still unfamiliar with each other since this was their first meeting, after all, there’s always a bit of strangeness initially, so the conversation didn't go deep. However, Long Chengtian was quite enthusiastic and eagerly wanted to tell everything about himself and his family to Warming.

But he also knew that just having met wasn’t in a hurry for anything yet.

He kept calling her 'sister' and 'little sister,' but she hadn't yet called him 'big brother.' Long Chengtian told himself not to rush, that everything would come naturally in time.

The conversation mostly revolved around personal topics, which helped them get to know each other better.

Long Chengtian mentioned they had lived together when they were younger, but Xiao Ran couldn't recall it. Human memory is limited; she was too young when she left them for her memories to be clear. She only remembered her parents and not her brother or mother. Long Chengtian, on the other hand, at nearly eleven years old, clearly remembered this adorable little sister.

Seeing her again filled him with such emotion and gratitude that he felt blessed to have met his sibling in his lifetime.

"Do you think I'm rough and dislike me" After chatting for a while, Long Chengtian suddenly asked. Xiao Ran was confused and somewhat embarrassed; why would he ask this

Scratching his head cutely, Long Chengtian said, "It's been so long, I've imagined countless times what little sister would look like when grown up. I believed you'd surely be a charming princess, but seeing you now, I fear you might not like me. You're gentle and polite; how could someone as rude and irritable as me win your affection Don't you find it hard to like such a brother"

She didn't seem to have much to say to him.

Xiao Ran felt guilty and gently held Long Chengtian's hand. "You misunderstood, I really like you; it's just that... I don't know how to interact with you. I fear you might not like me either or that I'm not the little sister you imagined. You're not rough, just straightforward; nor are you irritable, but sincere. You can be very kind too and are quite outstanding. While you aren't what I envisioned, this is wonderful already. It's unexpected and heartwarming."

"Really"

Long Chengtian looked delighted as he held her hand tightly, almost speechless from the emotion.

"Of course it's true," Xiao Ran said earnestly, smiling at him. "I'm glad to have a brother. Since I learned I had one, these days I've been looking forward to meeting you and worrying about how we'd interact after so long apart. But seeing you now relieves me of all pressure."

"I'm glad you're happy," Long Chengtian感慨 again. His little sister's temperament was truly wonderful; among the women he had met, only Qianqian, who had passed away, could match her in disposition.

Chengtian Long felt complete.

Nuanwen finally acknowledged him.

Nuanwen asked a question that had been bothering her, "Is it just us left in the Long family"

Long Chengtian shook his head. A hint of hatred flashed across his lowered gaze, but he quickly hid it so Nuanwen wouldn't notice. He said, "You don’t need to care about other members of the Long family or its branches. All you need to know is that I am your only relative."

The coldness in his tone was clear to Nuanwen, even though she didn't understand why. She nodded anyway.

Long Chengtian smiled at her and said, "Du Di was right; you're really great. He said I would definitely like you once I saw you."

Nuanwen smiled. In Du Di’s eyes, she must be perfect in every way.

Suddenly, Long Chengtian remarked, "You and Du Di are a match made in heaven. If you hadn’t left us, things might have been different; maybe you would already be married to Du Di."

"Maybe," Nuanwen smiled back. She genuinely liked men who were kind and gentle like jade, such as Fang Liucheng from her past. Even if he was pretending, she couldn't tell the difference and still enjoyed his company.

If she had grown up with Long Chengtian and known Du Di since childhood, she would definitely have fallen for Du Di. He would have treated her like a precious gem and they might have been a perfect couple.k.
