Just as she exited the residential estate, Gu Beicheng pulled up next to An Xiaoning. The door was flung open and, with brute force, he pulled her into the passenger seat of his car.
"I'll give you a ride. It's on the way."
"I said it was fine."
"Don't stand on ceremony with your Brother," insisted Gu Beicheng. Despite calling himself her "Brother," both Gu Beicheng and An Xiaoning were well aware that deep down, neither of them had ever seen the other as their own sibling.
Not long after, they arrived at An Xiaoning's doorstep. "Do you really want to know why I asked you about that, all of a sudden?" said Gu Beicheng as she was about to alight.
"I hope you'll tell the truth," said An Xiaoning, turning to look at him.
As he tucked her hair behind her ear, An Xiaoning remained still, completely unaffected by his actions.
