"What's the matter, do you want me to stay with you for the night? I know that sick girls will be lonely and lonely, and they need someone to be by their side, so I'll accompany you until your family comes back. ”

Lan Xingchen smiled slightly, with a gentle face.

He sat on the edge of the bed and gently rubbed Lu Ningning's head.

Lan Xingchen didn't know that Lu Ningning lived alone in this apartment, her mother had married into Mr. Li Yan's family, and her father had disappeared, and her family would never come back.

"I'm sorry, senior, I want to keep you......"

She felt that she was too willful to hold on to Lan Xingchen.

obviously doesn't like Lan Xingchen, but he is attached to Lan Xingchen's gentleness like a brother.

After a while, Lu Ningning let go of the hand that was holding Lan Xingchen's arm.

But as soon as she let go, Lan Xingchen approached her, his slender arms pressed against the side of the bed, and his clear eyes like lake water stared at her condescendingly.

The distance between the two was suddenly shortened, and Lu Ningning was nervous for no reason.

Only then did she remember what Azure Star had confessed to her a few days ago.

Although she didn't agree to date Lan Xingchen, Lan Xingchen didn't seem to give up.

Looking at Lan Xingchen, who was constantly approaching her, Lu Ningning was a little scared when she thought of the fact that she was almost kissed by him by the Spirit Lake.

She moved around on the bed and exclaimed, "Senior! ”

"Shhhh

Lan Xingchen said in a gentle tone, and then helped Lu Ningning cover the quilt that she had rubbed.

After covering the quilt, Lan Xingchen's warm big hand gently stroked Lu Ningning's hairy little head.

"Hey, don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, you're sick, I won't take advantage of others."

“……”

Hearing Lan Xingchen say that, Lu Ningning's hanging heart was relieved.

"Can you give me a definitive answer, though?

"Forehead ......"

Hearing Lan Xingchen's words, Lu Ningning realized that Lan Xingchen was talking about Linghu's confession.

He was so gentle, and he was so kind to her like a brother, but ......

However, even if she liked him, it was just the kind of sister who liked her brother.

It's not about love!

She knew that she couldn't respond to Lan Xingchen's love for her.

So, she could only say sorry to him.

If she could, she would love to be a brother and sister with Lan Xingchen.

“…… Senior...... I'm sorry I ......."

Lu Ningning apologized intermittently to Lan Xingchen in a hoarse voice.

Lan Xingchen sighed and muttered in frustration: "...... No, I see......"

His clear, bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and he looked hurt.

Lu Ningning looked at him, a little self-reproachful.

For so long, she has enjoyed Lan Xingchen's intimate care like a brother.

However, Lan Xingchen's love for her is not the love of her brother for her sister, but the love between men and women.

She is sluggish, and after all, she can't respond to his love.

When she was a freshman in high school, after meeting Lan Xingchen for the first time in the art club, she liked him very much.

Because Lan Xingchen is a genius of the art club, she naturally longs for him because she loves art, in addition, Lan Xingchen also cares for her like a big brother, takes care of her, and also lets her join the student union, spread her wings, protect her, and don't let her be bullied.

She is deeply grateful for everything Lan Xingchen has done.

She also likes Lan Xingchen, but that is her sister's love for her brother, the love of family affection, and it has nothing to do with love.

That day in Linghu, when Lan Xingchen suddenly confessed to her, she was not only shocked, but also hoped to respond to his love.

However, love is such a thing as something that cannot be forced, and she can't do anything about it.

Because she already has someone in her heart who she admires, and that is someone she has quietly loved for nearly ten years.

That person was the little angel who saved her from the fire when she was a child.

Even today's Li Chengfeng no longer remembers saving her.

But she remembered it and loved it secretly.

Therefore, she could not have any response to Lan Xingchen's love.
