Chapter 37: Brother Protects You
Bai Xianyu's expression became more serious. "Is the pouch I gave Fourth Brother previously still with you?"
When Bai Jinyan saw how serious she was, he thought it was something important. "Yes, I've been carrying it with me."
He took out a warm pouch from his waist.
Before he could react, Bai Xianyu pulled it off.
"Hey… What are you doing, Little Yu?" Bai Jinyan watched as Bai Xianyu put the pouch into her sleeve.
He suddenly widened his eyes. "Don't tell me you want to take it back!"
Bai Xianyu nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by a series of wails.
"I knew you were biased towards them. Now, I can't even have one of your pouches…" Bai Jinyan looked at her sleeve in an aggrieved manner.
"No." Bai Xianyu then took out a brand new pouch from her other sleeve. It looked much more exquisite than the earlier one.
"This is a new one I have made. Let's not take the old one. It won't look good on you."
Bai Jinyan immediately took it, but it seemed like he still wanted the original one. He asked tentatively, "Can I have both? I think that one looks very good too."
Bai Xianyu, "No."
Bai Jinyan did not want to make her angry, so he wore the new pouch reluctantly. "Alright."
Bai Xianyu reminded him again, "Fourth Brother, you haven't shown this original pouch to anyone, right?"
"No, it's my treasure." Bai Jinyan was silent for a moment before adding, "Except to Lin Xingjian."
Of course, he was not showing it to him for nothing.
He just wanted to show off his sister.
This was even better. Fourth Brother and Xie Xingyun did not interact much in the academy, so it should be possible to deceive him.
She frowned and looked up. "Then if anyone asks in the future, Fourth Brother, just say that I gave this pouch to you a year ago."
Bai Jinyan nodded. "Who would ask me that?"
Bai Xianyu said, "It's best if no one asks, but if anyone asks, you have to say it was a year ago."
Bai Jinyan felt that there was something different about the Bai Xianyu in front of him.
He had grown up with Little Yu and often played with her, but he had never seen her speak so seriously.
Furthermore…
He frowned slightly. "Sister, are you afraid?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xianyu was stunned. Only then did she realize that her voice was trembling slightly.
Bai Jinyan stared into the girl's eyes and said seriously, "If you encounter any trouble, tell me. I'll protect you."
Are you afraid…
Bai Xianyu narrowed her eyes. If the ending in her previous life happened again, she would rather die in the four corners of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor.
She was afraid that her hard work would be in vain.
She was afraid that she would only be able to watch those endings repeat in the future. They would all leave her one by one, and she would be helpless.
In her previous life, she spent ten years but could not move Xie Xingyun.
It was better to rely on oneself than on others.
Her eyes were slightly moist. "I'm fine… Fourth Brother, I'll protect all of you too."
Little Yu will also protect all of you.
Bai Jinyan's gaze was gentle as he stroked Bai Xianyu's soft hair. At this moment, he seemed to have grown much taller. He no longer looked like a loafer. He was just a brother who doted on his younger sister.
"Mm. Our Little Yu has grown up."
…
When Bai Xianyu returned to her courtyard, Green Pearl was already waiting in the house with Madam Qin.
Madam Qin could only sense that a girl with a snow-white body and a rosy face had walked in. Her body seemed to be covered in a layer of soft light, and she was so beautiful that no one dared to look at her directly. She could be said to be a goddess.
