"Refreshing!" Fang Yuying said as she finished the remaining half bottle of beer in one go, a true heroine not even flinching her eyebrows. Her face, charming and demure, showed a subtle blush after drinking.
She casually tossed the beer bottle behind her, and it shattered with a snap, turning into pieces of glass.
The night wind blew through Fang Yuying’s jet-black hair, as dense as ink. The city’s neon lights, along with the faint streetlights and bright moonlight, bestowed upon her an aura of mystery and allure.
Noticing Fang Yi staring at her, Fang Yuying abruptly turned her head and locked eyes with him. She narrowed her eyes slightly, "Little brother, if you’re going to look at your big sister, then look openly. Don’t be sneaky. I won’t get angry."
"I’m afraid if I look at you too much, you’ll lose some flesh," Fang Yi joked.
Catching his gesture, Fang Yuying turned her head, winked, and her black hair fluttered in the night wind. Suddenly, she flashed a smile, "Big sister sees it all."
Fang Yi smiled and said, "Okay okay, let’s talk business."
"Alright, let’s talk business. So tell me, what brought you to Tianjing?" Fang Yuying said.
Fang Yi paused for a moment but decided not to keep it from Fang Yuying. He told her about the circumstances of his visit to Tianjing.
It wasn’t just because Fang Yuying was his big sister, but also because just a short while ago, she had stood in front of Fang Yi alone against many people, confronting Xia Zijun and the others, cursing at them like she was protecting her own calf. Fang Yi fully understood her intentions.
Therefore, there were some things he felt he could keep from Fang Yuying, but others he believed were better shared.
As Fang Yi expected, when he explained everything to Fang Yuying, she couldn’t help but burst into anger.
Fang Yuying’s fist clenched tightly and slammed fiercely onto the ground, producing a deep sound. Although Fang Yuying was a martial artist with extraordinary strength, Fang Yi couldn’t help but sneak a peek at her delicate hands.
The agitated Fang Yuying sighed lightly and suddenly extended her hand, gently stroking Fang Yi’s head. He felt like a child wanting to dodge.
"Don’t dodge!" Fang Yuying commanded.
Fang Yi gave a wry smile, eventually not dodging. After all, no one was watching. Even if she touched him, it wasn’t going to take away a piece of flesh.
"That honor of the Dragon Team was originally yours, you must take it back. Tomorrow... I’ll go with you, okay?" Her voice was gentle and charming.
Fang Yi felt his bones soften a bit and nodded involuntarily, "Okay."
"Whoever bullied you, we’ll bully them back tomorrow, okay?"
"Then call me ’big sister,’ okay?"
Fang Yi remained silent.
Seeing his reaction, Fang Yuying suddenly smiled, withdrew her hand, "Never mind, never mind. I know it can’t be forced, we’ll take it slow. There will come a time when you’ll call me ’big sister.’"
Although Fang Yuying was smiling, a hint of sadness in the depths of her eyes did not escape Fang Yi’s gaze.
Fang Yi took a deep breath, "When I return to the Fang Family, I’ll call you."
Fang Yuying hesitated for a moment, then patted Fang Yi’s shoulder, very approving, "Alright, when you return to the Fang Family, I’ll be the first to support you! The moment you’re back at the Fang Family. If Fang Xiang Zai dares bully you again, your big sis will be the first one to not let him off!"
"Fang Xiang Zai?" Fang Yi murmured the name.
"He’s just an annoying guy," Fang Yuying curled her lips.
"How annoying is he?" Fang Yi asked with a smile.
"Well... even though he’s pretty hateful, his skills are indeed remarkable. Not only is he extraordinarily talented in martial arts, currently an Earth Level Five, he also excelled in politics and business when he studied abroad. His mind is quite capable, giving him ample confidence and arrogance," said Fang Yuying with a note of resentment in her voice.
"Has he ever bullied you?"
Fang Yuying paused, "A few times but... are you thinking of taking revenge for me?"
"Of course," Fang Yi said with a smile.
A touch of emotion flickered in Fang Yuying’s beautiful eyes and vanished quickly. She then joked, "Forget it, only your big sister can protect you. There’s no reason for you to protect your big sister."
Fang Yi chuckled, not denying it.
"Also, don’t be too discouraged," Fang Yuying added. "This Fang Xiang Zai, he has your Dragon Vein, which is certainly a significant reason he reached his current status."
Fang Yi raised an eyebrow, and after a long silence, said, "I will take back what belongs to me."
Fang Yuying nodded in agreement, forthrightly supporting Fang Yi.
The atmosphere got slightly tense, Fang Yuying picked up a beer bottle, popped the cap, and said, "You’ve got spirit, come on, let’s drink!"
"No going back until we’re drunk!"
"Then no going back until we’re drunk!"
Atop the tall building, two figures sat together, beverages in hand, drinking freely as if unaware of what alcohol was. They soon finished their beers, and both stood up to leave.
Descending the building, Fang Yi got into the front passenger seat and asked, "Where to?"
From the driver’s seat, Fang Yuying muttered a place name groggily. With the help of the navigation system, Fang Yi drove there, only to discover it was a villa that required a fingerprint and retina scan, not a key, for entry.
So, Fang Yi, supporting the tipsy Fang Yuying, managed to get the door open to enter the villa and moved to turn on the lights. But Fang Yuying, perhaps caught by a wave of drunken impulse, grabbed Fang Yi by the collar and started heading upstairs.
Helpless in such a situation, unfamiliar with the villa and unsure of where he was being dragged to, Fang Yi found himself entering a bedroom.
