Jinmulin: "Humph!"
Xiaoqiao muttered, "I just don't want you to worry about me anymore!"
Jinmulin whispered to himself, "I understand..."
Xiaoqiao was somewhat surprised, since when had her second senior brother become so empathetic?
Actually, Jinmulin had understood for a long time; she didn't want him to do too much for her because she had already given everything she could to Gu Hangshen and couldn't reciprocate.
She couldn't bear it, which is why she had been rejecting his offerings and help.
However, that was exactly what he admired about her, even her rejections were clear-cut and decisive, never wishy-washy.
She had a distinct stance but was also smart enough to use little tricks to guess his mindset, carefully maintaining their friendship without letting it fall apart.
The way she cherished and protected it made it impossible for him to blame her for anything.
"Let's go, I'll take you back! Where are you living now?"
"My grandfather's place."
