Sang Chi had no way of refutation.

She didn't dare to look at Duan Jiaxu. She was nervous and her reaction was slow. The little man with a red hat on the screen fell down instantly, accompanied by a line of subtitles saying "ga".

In the quiet room, the background music of the game echoed, cheerful and loud.

In this atmosphere, it seems too weird.

Sang Chi noticed from the corner of his eye that Duan Jiaxu had withdrawn his gaze and was casually playing with the buttons on the handle, making a clicking sound, with a mechanical and smooth rhythm. No one knew what he was thinking.

Sang Chi realized instantly that she shouldn't have mentioned this matter.

She shouldn't have mentioned that.

Sang Chi's mind went blank. She took a piece of watermelon and put it in her mouth. The watermelon of this season was not sweet, but juicy and tasteless. She chewed it slowly and found it a little hard to swallow. After a while, she said vaguely, "I told my brother about this too."

Duan Jiaxu stopped moving.

"My friend's brother just got a girlfriend." Sang Chi put the fork back on the plate, his tone unusually calm, "and she was not nice to my friend at all. So brother, you shouldn't have a girlfriend either."

Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu looked at her again, with a thoughtful expression, "Why are you being so mean to your friend?"

Sang Zhi explained in a low voice, "It seems that she feels that her brother treats her too well, so she is unhappy."

“Is that so?”

"Yes." Sang Chi tried hard to find reasons in his mind and explained dryly, "If you have a girlfriend, then you can't be nice to me."

"Kid, what do you want to do for so long?" Duan Jiaxu's brows relaxed and he said calmly, "Maybe you have forgotten your brother completely after not seeing him for a few years."

Sang Chi said nothing.

Duan Jiaxu put the controller on the table and said, "Brother, find someone gentler when the time comes."

""

"It's also good for our little Sang Zhi." Duan Jiaxu smiled gently, and his tone was nonchalant, "How about this, find another person to treat you well?"

Sang Chi stared at the watermelon on the table and nodded slowly, "Okay."

After a long while, she suppressed the bitterness in her throat and reluctantly added, "Then you have to show me first when the time comes."

Sang Yan was indeed not out for long, and he came back in less than half an hour.

Seeing this, Sang Chi didn't want to stay here any longer and found an excuse to go back to his room.

After Sang Zhi left, Sang Yan took off his coat and casually asked, "What time did you start your part-time job?"

"It's almost time." Duan Jiaxu said, "Where have you been?"

"A friend is nearby." Sang Yan lay down on the bed, staring at his phone without even raising his eyelids. "He didn't bring money to eat, so he asked me to go over and give him some money."

Duan Jiaxu hummed and started to pack up his things. "Then I'm leaving."

"Um."

He stood up, suddenly remembered what happened just now, and asked again, "Sang Yan, I want to ask you something."

Sang Yan asked.

"Your sister" Duan Jiaxu's voice paused for a moment, as if he was thinking.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Sang Yan lost his patience. "Just ask, why are you taking so long?"

Duan Jiaxu finally finished his words, "Has your sister ever told you not to fall in love?"

"Ah" Sang Yan didn't expect this to be the question. He paused and said, "I think so."
