Cheng Anyue lowered her head, not daring to meet his eyes. She was afraid to see the disgust in his eyes.
However, if she didn't say some things, she would never get what she wanted.
She pursed her lips and said softly,"I called Lu Yao" brother "because he's your friend."
The stairs were quiet, and no one answered, but Cheng Anyue could feel a gaze on her, waiting for her to continue.
Her voice became even softer."A friend who calls him brother should call him brother. That should be right, right?"
An Shilin's dark eyes seemed to flash with emotion. He said indifferently,""So?"
Cheng Anyue took a deep breath and looked up at him. She said seriously,""Can you really be my brother?"
His eyes were full of anticipation, like the stars, shining brightly.
She tightened her grip on his hand, subconsciously afraid that he would reject her.
She had lived for more than ten years and this was probably the bravest thing she had ever done.
