This woman touched her face, but Chen Yuan didn't feel repulsed at all.

Chen Yuan was someone with a strong sense of cleanliness, and aside from Xin Bao, and clueless minors, he would politely decline anyone else who touched him with a "Hey, what are you doing?"

But now, he just felt a little sorry for her.

Li Tong was looking at his eyes, not using him as some online substitute, or a replacement for her dead brother. But rather, as if she had found another place to entrust her spirit.

Do you know how to hurt Li Tong the most?

Well, it's to kill me in front of her.

Of course, that's just an example.

That kind of plot definitely won't happen, I still have to take the college entrance exam, and after I finish college, I still have to take Xinyu back to my hometown to get married...

Eh?!

Li Tong slowly let go of his hand, and then said with a smile, "The way I was just acting, it's indeed a little easy to misunderstand. If your good little sister saw it, she would definitely be angry. She's definitely the most important person to you, I'm very clear about that. So… do you have a way to introduce us?"

"What do you want to do if you get to know her?" Chen Yuan asked vigilantly.

Don't mess with my Xin Bao.

"You're always avoiding me now because you're afraid of being misunderstood, right? If it's explained clearly, that I'm just a very good older sister, then you shouldn't be so afraid, right?" To this, Li Tong said quite seriously, "The reason you keep avoiding me is because you're afraid of being misunderstood as a cheating man, right?"

"You're quite humorous," Chen Yuan said, amused.

"What does that mean? Are you saying..." Li Tong said weakly, "That's not okay?"

"Having a secret older sister-younger brother relationship?"

Regarding this, Chen Yuan said in a very 'scumbag' way, "I really don't know how she could accept me recognizing an older sister outside… it's better to just be honest and say that I want a cop to protect me."

"What cop? Speak properly." Li Tong pinched Chen Yuan's face forcefully, correcting him quite earnestly, "Also, did you call me 'older sister' just to find a public official to be your backer?"

"Not entirely, but it accounts for a certain percentage. About, twenty percent, maybe."

Chen Yuan had to admit that, just like associating with He Hongtao, he wanted to borrow their influence to some extent.

The only person with a real connection who was truly good to him was Mo Bao.

"In other words, it's because you think having an older sister who's a police officer is cool, right?" Li Tong tried to get Chen Yuan to say something nicer.

"Mainly for convenience."

But this kid's words weren't nice at all!

Forget it, I'll just consider it as me simping for him.

"That's twenty percent, so what's the remaining eighty percent? How much does my good looks account for?" Li Tong poked her face with her finger, asking with a slightly cute expression.

"Ah? You're good-looking?"

"Aren't I pretty?!"

Chen Yuan had just finished being cheeky, when Li Tong locked her arm around his neck, almost knocking him down. It wasn't until he tapped her arm twice like a wrestler to surrender that it was over.

"Cough cough. In terms of being cool, that accounts for about five percent, maybe."

Chen Yuan knew that Li Tong was good-looking, and had a good figure, and that her slim-fitting jeans were a bonus.

But there was really no way around it, his *xp* was for the long-haired and gentle type.

Or rather, Xinyu had corrected all of his aesthetics.

Now, when he saw girls twerking, he didn't even want to give them a like.

Isn't it just because you're afraid of Xinyu checking your phone?

Too talkative!

"There's still seventy-five percent, which is three-quarters, what exactly is it? I want to see just how detailed you're going to break it down."

After Li Tong finished speaking, Chen Yuan didn't say anything, and was silent for a while.

Then, Li Tong, who had been joking and laughing just now, also gradually fell silent.

Gently biting her lip, after a while, she said softly, "Because my brother passed away, so you pity me. How much does pity account for?"

To this, Chen Yuan made an 'o' with his hand.

Very decisively, without hesitation.

And the awkwardness on Li Tong's face gradually disappeared. Instead, there was a trace of relief, and a great deal of anticipation, as she asked with considerable interest, "Then what exactly, is the reason you don't mind letting this old woman pester you?"

What exactly is the reason?

Perhaps it was because Li Tong was clinging to him too tightly, making it impossible for him to escape.

But even so, he should only have that irresponsible, non-committal, unserious attitude, hooking this pretty female simp hard.

He wouldn't really call out that 'older sister' just to make her happy.

But at that time, he didn't know why, but he blurted out that 'older sister'…

"Maybe, because I'm an only child."

After thinking about it, Chen Yuan finally confessed frankly, "I've always wondered what it would be like if I had siblings. A long time ago, I wanted a younger brother more, because that would be more fun. Then before that, I met a cute child and thought it would be nice to have a younger sister. So, when you insisted that I call you 'older sister,' I wasn't willing, because I never thought about having an older sister. But now… I suddenly think that you're pretty good too."

"..."

Li Tong might really be a simp, because after hearing these offensive words, she only captured the words "pretty good too."

Then, she was both happy and touched, and she opened her arms with a 'woo woo woo' to hug Chen Yuan.

"Hey hey hey, no hugging, no hugging."

Chen Yuan made an 'x' with his hands, in a *dame* gesture, still very upright and magnanimous.

Always wanting hugs, that's enough!

"So, you really agree?" Li Tong still didn't quite realize it, and asked with a hopeful expression.

You're really simping, Tong Bao.

"Yeah." Chen Yuan didn't deny it, agreeing like that.

When there was an older sister who really cared about him, to the point of being nagging, and even taught him how to cross the road, he did feel a kind of warmth.

After all, he could be considered to have left his hometown and come to Xia Hai alone to study.

There was a bit of a lack of affection.

"You're so great, I want to spend money on you again." Li Tong couldn't wait to take out her retirement money to make Chen Yuan happy.

"Just top up my *San Guo Sha* then." (Three Kingdoms Kill)

"Hey, you can't touch that game, I've met so many people who went bankrupt playing that stuff." Li Tong suddenly became vigilant.

"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Yuan nodded.

Then, he pointed to the road along the river in front of them, and said, "I'll walk with you for a bit."

"Really?"

"I beg you, can you not be so humble? I really feel like a bit of a scumbag." Chen Yuan sincerely pleaded.

He really wasn't disliking Li Tong, it was just that her personality of suddenly initiating physical contact, and her habit of giving him legal lectures at all times, triggered a rebellious mentality in him, a hot-blooded youth.

"Ah, okay, okay, I'll park the car." Li Tong nodded, then earnestly instructed Chen Yuan, "Don't run away, okay!"

"Did you even listen to what I said…"

Too humble.

This feeling was too humble.

Luckily, neither he nor Xinyu were simps.

After parking the car in a motor vehicle parking space, Li Tong came over.

And Chen Yuan reminded her, "Isn't this taking up a parking space for four-wheeled vehicles?"

"Shh." Li Tong said softly, "This section of road isn't usually checked at this time. Of course, this is definitely wrong, so even if I get a ticket, I'm willing to pay the fine."

"…" Chen Yuan didn't quite know what to say.

Legal fighters have flexible moral bottom lines.

It could only be said that he was like a damn succubus, hooking Li Tong so much that she was no longer a normal person.

He still hoped that she could be more normal.

But he also understood.

The reason Li Tong was so excited now was purely because he had acknowledged this relationship, so it was a bit unexpected, and then she was overjoyed.

"Do you live around here?"

Li Tong asked with great curiosity as the two of them walked side by side.

"Actually, no." Chen Yuan shook his head, and then said, "There's still some distance from home."

"Then why did you let me park here?" Li Tong said halfway through, when she suddenly became serious, "Wait, are you wary of a People's Police officer?"

"People's Police officers are even more likely to become *he ren*." (*He ren* is a slang term that refers to being doxxed online)

"I generally won't go looking for you, don't worry," Li Tong said with a smile.

"Under what circumstances would it be 'not generally'?" Chen Yuan was a little scared, and looked at her in surprise.

"Birthdays, maybe."

"What are you going to do on my birthday?"

"I'll get you a cake, by the way, what day is your birthday… never mind, I'll just check it out tomorrow," Li Tong said casually.

Her pace was also so light and relaxed.

But Chen Yuan's mood at this moment was extremely heavy.

You better not have a *yandere* personality!

It's really scary that someone like this has access to doxxing tools.

But looking at her casual expression, she seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with doing this, just like an older sister's daily mental control over her younger brother, reasonable and normal.

Damn it, I regret it.

As the two of them were walking, Li Tong's expression suddenly became serious. Staring ahead, she said, "That man, there's something wrong with him."

Chen Yuan followed her gaze.

Then, he saw a man hiding his hand inside his clothes, slowly approaching a woman who was standing by the river taking pictures.

At this time, Li Tong narrowed her eyes, very sharply, and then slowly approached.

This was a bit strange.

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then pushed his glasses down his nose. Then, he suddenly grabbed Li Tong's hand from behind, "Wait, don't go!"

"I can't wait, if I'm any slower, something will happen."

Li Tong pried open Chen Yuan's hand, insisting on going forward.

As soon as the words fell, the man took out a bouquet of roses from his clothes, and handed it to the girl who was taking pictures with a smile.

And the girl covered her mouth in surprise, and then took the roses, as well as a gold necklace tied under the flower branches…

After the surprise, the two hugged each other, looking extraordinarily happy.

But when they separated, the two looked together at Li Tong, who had appeared in front of them like a wild horse that Chen Yuan couldn't hold back, and all threw out a: "?"

"…" Slowly, Li Tong blushed.

Then she turned around stiffly, preparing to look for Chen Yuan.

Then she saw this kid suddenly quicken his pace, throwing her behind him, just like a stranger on the road.

"Hey hey hey, wait for me!" Li Tong awkwardly wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"…Not related."

Chen Yuan half-covered his face, wishing he could use all his flash skills to get away.

"How embarrassing, I thought he was pulling out a knife." Li Tong forced out a smile, and explained, "I've really never seen this scene before."

"I reminded you already, but you insisted on being a clown," Chen Yuan said speechlessly.

"How did you know he was giving flowers?" Li Tong said in confusion.

"This… isn't it obvious at a glance?" Chen Yuan did see it with his eyes, but he wasn't going to pass up a rare opportunity to mock someone, "Those of us who have been in love know that this is going to be romantic."

"Impressive, impressive, who told me to be an old virgin." Li Tong clapped her hands while mocking herself.

"Wait, what does being in love have to do with being a virgin or not…"

Damn it, I'm a virgin too.

You hurt me with your words, apologize!

"Hey, there's a little girl selling flowers." Li Tong suddenly saw a girl who was dressed very plainly, but was very clean, selling roses. So, she suddenly asked curiously, "Have you ever given your good little sister flowers?"

"Why do you have to call her my good little sister…"

"So, you haven't, huh?" Li Tong retorted.

"Well, not yet."

Chen Yuan was a little embarrassed, because he hadn't done this kind of romantic thing before.

What he gave Xinyu was eel rice, a beetle that glowed in the butt, a shell necklace…

Actually, he really should give flowers.

"How can you not give flowers? You definitely have to give them, no girl will dislike flowers," Li Tong said earnestly, popularizing the idea.

"You like them too?" Chen Yuan asked back.

"When I see poppies, my eyes light up immediately."

"Business coming, huh?"

"I might not have a sense of romance, but for a seventeen-year-old girl, in the flower of her youth, if you give her a bouquet of roses, it will definitely make her super happy."

"Okay, I'll give them another day…"

Before Chen Yuan could finish speaking, Li Tong suddenly walked up to the little flower-selling girl. Then, she squatted down slightly, and talked to her. After a while, she came over with a flower, with a pretty little card tied to it.

"Come on, you write it yourself, say some nice little love words." Li Tong handed him the pen, and instructed, "Hurry up, I have to return the pen to the little sister."

"Okay, then give me the flower, I'll go back and write it myself," Chen Yuan said, reaching out his hand, a little embarrassed.

"Let me help you brainstorm, write it here."

Li Tong's eyes were shining, with a smile of an auntie, as if she had seen her elementary school student younger brother holding hands with a female classmate.

"Hey, wait, do you have some kind of perverted hobby…"

Chen Yuan wanted to refuse, but her eyes were too sincere. He really couldn't refuse, after all, he wasn't a spoilsport.

However, to give Xinyu flowers, and write on a card…

"What do you call her? I'll write it."

Li Tong held the card in her hand, and then excitedly prepared to write.

"No, let me…"

"Let me, let me." Li Tong forcibly guarded the rose, and when Chen Yuan was about to reach for it, she suddenly raised her head, looking at him with clear and eager eyes, "Good younger brother, let me participate."

"…" Chen Yuan was made indecisive again by these eyes.

It seemed that he had taken control of her, but how could this humble Little Tong not have taken control of him?

There was no way, he had to say, "Xinyu."

"Speaking with your heart? What a nice name, I like it."

Li Tong wrote these two words, and then continued to ask, "Then, what should I write?"

Although Li Tong was participating, it was still going to be given to Xinyu after all. So, Chen Yuan still valued it.

After thinking for a moment, he still felt that it should be simple, and said, "I wish you happiness every day."

"…" Hearing this, Li Tong felt a little bored, but still nodded, "Okay."

Just like that, she wrote a line on the card.

Then, she returned the pen to the little flower-selling girl.

"Okay, give it to me," Chen Yuan said, reaching out his hand.

"I'll give it to you before I go home." Li Tong was a little awkward, looking like she had a guilty conscience.

"Wait, what did you write on the paper?" Chen Yuan became vigilant.

"I just think that your sentence is too simple, it's boring, so I made a slight modification…"

"You didn't write some cheesy pick-up line, did you?"

"No, it's not cheesy, really!"

"Then give it to me," Chen Yuan said forcefully.

"Then you promise me not to freak out." Li Tong stretched out a hand to block Chen Yuan, and then started talking about conditions.

"As long as you didn't write anything weird, I definitely won't freak out."

"Then it's okay, it's definitely not weird."

After re-examining it, Li Tong felt that there was nothing wrong with it. So, she carefully handed the rose to Chen Yuan.

After taking the flower, Chen Yuan was just about to look.

Then, he heard a familiar voice:

"Chen Yuan."

He slowly turned his head, and standing next to them was Xia Xinyu. And in her hand, she was holding a Swiss roll that she was usually reluctant to buy, because it was a little expensive.

The air instantly froze.

Xia Xinyu looked at the two of them, and confirmed that one of them was her Chen Yuan.

And he, was holding a rose given by another woman in his hand.

After a brief silence, she suddenly tore open the Swiss roll packaging. Then, she started eating it directly.

Her eyes were also red in an instant.

So before she burst into tears, she turned around directly, and quickly left this place.

Chen Yuan knew that he had messed up big time!

Quickly, he followed, and then hugged Xia Xinyu, who had sprinted off, tightly from behind, "Wait, you misunderstood…"

Xia Xinyu was still eating the Swiss roll, her mouth not stopping for a moment. Then, she said while shedding small pearls, "I was still thinking about eating it together… you don't deserve to eat it, Chen Yuan, you idiot…"

"Wait. I said Ting Ting!"

Chen Yuan really had no choice, so he held the rose in front of her eyes.

Including the pretty card with words written on it.

Xia Xinyu, who still had Swiss roll on the corners of her mouth, saw it. On the paper, it was written:

Xinyu: My cutest treasure in the whole world~
