"Sure." Xu Nianhua nodded with some hesitation, "Next time, have your brother bring you."
"Bro, when are we going to Sister Nianhua’s house?" Pei Yijian immediately looked at Pei Yicheng, who was driving, to ask. In the past, Pei Yijian didn’t dare to speak up, but after spending time together yesterday, he felt like his brother didn’t dislike him. He decided to be a bit thicker-skinned.
"When I marry your Sister Nianhua and bring her home, I’ll take you there." Pei Yicheng glanced at the rearview mirror, his eyes briefly sweeping over Xu Nianhua’s flushed cheeks.
"Hey, Yicheng, don’t ruin my little sister’s reputation."
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Xu Nian’an reminded, "Even though my sister is dating you, she hasn’t gotten engaged or married. Don’t keep saying things like that."
"Nian’an, there’s nothing wrong with what I said, nor did I ruin your sister’s reputation." Pei Yicheng corrected while paying attention to the road, "Dating without the intention of marriage is just messing around. Nianhua and I are aiming for marriage. I said that once I marry Nianhua, I’ll take Yijian to your house. So, if I marry Nianhua, can’t I bring my siblings to your house?"
Xu Nian’an: "..."
Well, his usually sharp tongue was no match for Pei Yicheng.
Pei Yijian grinned widely, hearing his brother say he was a good brother, he happily said, "Brother Nian’an, my brother is really good."
"Sister Nianhua, my brother is really good."
Pei Yijian couldn’t help but want to say it a hundred times.
With laughter and joy, they arrived at the train station. Pei Yicheng helped carry their luggage onto the train, not letting Xu Nianhua lift a finger. He said, "This bag of food, I specially bought it for you. Remember to eat it on the way."
Pei Yicheng handed a bag of snacks to Xu Nianhua.
"Brother Cheng, I already brought snacks!" Xu Nianhua said.
"Save yours for when you get home." Pei Yicheng raised his hand and gently touched her hair. Her jet-black hair was very soft, and it felt particularly nice to touch. He reminded her, "When you get home, take good care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."
"Hmm."
Xu Nianhua nodded.
"I’ll probably return to the county around the 28th, and I’ll come to see you then."
"Okay." Xu Nianhua reminded again, "Brother Cheng, don’t overwork yourself. Your health is the most important."
"Are you two done? If you keep talking, the train’s going to leave," Xu Nian’an said, increasingly annoyed with Pei Yicheng.
How did the sister he had protected since childhood end up being taken away by him?
"Have a safe trip. Call me when you get to the county." Pei Yicheng ignored Xu Nian’an’s words, continuously advising Xu Nianhua until the train conductor reminded them it was about to depart. Only then did Pei Yicheng reluctantly leave.
"Little sis, when you’re with Yicheng, he turns into a nagging old maid. How do you usually get along with him?" Xu Nian’an looked curiously at Xu Nianhua. He had experienced Pei Yicheng’s cold demeanor, but now, in front of his little sister, he was more nagging than an old maid.
"Pff, be careful or I’ll tell Brother Cheng you called him a nagging old maid." Xu Nianhua’s eyes were filled with mirth. She opened the bag Pei Yicheng had given her, and inside were all her favorite snacks: chocolate, White Rabbit candies, cookies, instant noodles, and mineral water she liked to drink.
"Little sis, you haven’t even married yet, and you’re already siding with him." Xu Nian’an muttered, looking at the snacks Pei Yicheng brought, and couldn’t help but wave the bag in his hand, saying, "Little sis, we’ve brought so much food. Even the Su Family sent a bunch of snacks!"
