“This is the Western District,” Shen Qinglan reminded her.

“Er…” Yan Xi muttered, stunned. She needed to go to the Eastern District.

“Then, big sis, why don’t you follow me?” Yan Xi still wanted to stay with her. Perhaps, from an exchange of blows friendship grows, she had taken a liking to Shen Qinglan.

“No need, we’re heading in different directions.”

“Then where are you going? I’ll get my brother to take you.”

Shen Qinglan quickly walked away, but what followed her was the sound of the girl’s footsteps and her gasping. Shen Qinglan stopped again.

“We’re really heading in different directions.”

“I can get my brother to take you. I mean it.” Yan Xi looked at Shen Qinglan persistently.

Shen Qinglan felt frustrated, “Why do you want to go with me?”

“Becasue I like you,” Yan Xi blurted.

Shen Qinglan did not feel like talking anymore. She did not know she was popular with both men and women.

“Aye, big sis, I’m serious. I really like you. It’s fine if you don’t want my brother to give you a ride. Tell me when you are heading back to the capital. We can go together,” Yan Xi caught up with her again. She could not pinpoint what she liked about Shen Qinglan. She just liked her.

“I’m from Hangcheng. I went to the capital on a trip.” So we can’t possibly be heading the same way.

Shen Qinglan casually lied. She might not dislike the girl, but she was unwilling to walk with her. She wanted a quiet environment.

Yan Xi finally stopped in her tracks. “Big sis, so you’re not from the capital…” She sounded regretful and rather upset.

“Can I go now?” Shen Qinglan asked.

Yan Xi nodded weakly. Then, just after Shen Qinglan walked a few more steps, she suddenly suddenly called from behind her, “Big sis, can I come join you while I’m at Hangcheng these few days?”

Shen Qinglan ignored her and walked on. She did not see Yan Xi’s bleak eyes behind her when the girl did not receive any response.

Yan Xi moped as she headed towards the Eastern District.

“Xiao Xi, why aren’t you watching where you’re going?” Just when Yan Xi was about to walk into a pole, a man’s voice called out from above her.

Yan Xi looked up to find her brother, Yan Shengyu. The corners of her mouth twitched, “Brother.”

Yan Shengyu grabbed the luggage she was holding, then draped an arm across her shoulders, “Is the train ride too tiring? You seem upset.”

Yan Xi said nothing. She got in the car and still said nothing, which was quite different from her usual chatterbox mode.

Yan Shengyu looked at her worriedly. He went ahead to touch her forehead with ease, and felt slightly relieved that her temperature was normal. This younger sister had been weak and sickly since childhood. In fact, she almost died when she was born, so the family always took extra care of her.

“Xiao Xi, you can take a nap if you’re tired. I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”

Yan Xi shook her head. She looked at Yan Shengyu, “Bro, do you think I’m annoying?”

“Why do you think that? You’re our little princess, why would you be annoying?”

“Then why didn’t that big sister want to walk with me?” Yan Xi pouted, feeling grieved.

“Which big sister?” Yan Xi responded in confusion.

“The one I met on the train. She sat right next to me. She’s really pretty…” Yan Xi began to blab about everything that happened between her and Shen Qinglan, not holding back.

“Bro, I’ve never liked a stranger this way before. But I really like what I feel about her. I really do,” she said, emphasising on ‘really’. One could tell that Yan Xi really liked Shen Qinglan deep down, even though this fondness came inexplicably.

Yan Shengyu did not produce any undesirable thoughts about the big sister as mentioned by Yan Xi, but rather he got curious about the “big sister” who ignored the girl.

He knew his younger sister very well. Due to her sickly childhood, she spent most of it in the hospital. She hardly had any friends. She started school after she got better, but she had an arrogant nature. She disliked hanging out with those who only approached her because of her identity. So, even though she looked cheerful and chatty on the outside, she was actually quite lonely on the inside.

Yan Shengyu patted her on the head. “Maybe she’s got things to do, so she can’t stay with us. She says she’s a local here, and not from the capital. We’re going back in a few days, so we probably won’t meet again.”

Even though those were the facts, Yan Xi’s mood remained low. Yan Shengyu tried his best to make her happy, but she could barely smile.

He wanted to help her look for this “big sister”, but this was not the capital, and their family had no foundation here. They came here today to attend a friend’s wedding. More importantly, Yan Xi did not even know the woman’s name, so the search would be futile even if he asked his friends to help.
