She jumped in fright when she opened the door and saw Ye Yunji, who looked like he was sleep-walking.

“Big brother, what’s up?”

Ye Yunji yawned and said, “I’ll come for a run with you… you’re a girl, it’s dangerous at this time of the morning… the streets are still empty… Uh-huh… let’s go…”

Ye Yunji could hardly keep his eyes open, and yet he was so meticulously caring.

The girl was stumped, but on the other hand, she felt that having such a brother didn’t seem too bad at all.

Except, having run less than 300 meters, Ye Yunji already couldn’t go on.

He felt that his lungs were about to explode!

“Do… Do you run this far every day?”

Ye Yunxi was speechless as she turned around. From where they were, she could see the windows of their home. It was not that far.

“Should I go ahead?”

“No, no, you can’t…”

Ye Yunji grabbed her hand and said, “Go… go with me to the field… I… I just need to keep you in my sight, and that’s good enough…”

They had the thugs around their apartment just two days ago. As a big brother, he had to protect… protect his little sister…

Finally, they came to the field. Ye Yunji’s head dipped as he fell with his face on the ground. Struggling, he held his hand out to Ye Yunxi.

“Big Brother will protect… protect you… Arrggghhhh!”

Then, the great Big Brother collapsed.

Ye Yunxi brought Ye Yunji home on her back.

The moment she placed him on the sofa, Ye Yunji couldn’t help but feel utterly miserable.

“I’m not good enough to be your big brother. Actually having my little sister piggyback me all the way home… It’s shameful…”

Ye Yunxi became speechless.

Hehe, what else could she say?

“It’s no big deal. If you keep up with the morning training sessions, you’ll be the one piggybacking me by the end of the year.”

“Really?”

Ye Yunji looked up with hopeful surprise.”

“Uh-huh!”

Who knew if that would really happen, but they’d just have to wait and see!

Ye Yunji was happy to hear that, though, and suddenly felt much better.

“Oh, I used your name to undertake a small task, so if anyone asks, Big Brother, just play along!”

“No problem!”

Ye Yunji had by now fully recovered and was in high spirits. He found himself showing off some of his own drawings. “Yunxi, look at this drawing of an elephant I did. What do you think?”

“It’s great!”

“Haha, of course. Your big brother is good at this. What do you think, would you like to learn?”

Ye Yunji meant it only as a passing remark, thinking that it would be unlikely for his little sister to wish to learn drawing from him. After all, her only interest was to show off her own beauty and capability.

“Sure, why not!”

“Uh-huh, it’s okay, I understand… Huh? What did you just say?”

“I said, sure. Come, Big Brother. Teach me how to draw.”

This time around, there was no need for Ye Yunji to try hard to convince Ye Yunxi. She was the one who pulled him along to the studio and laid out the paper and pencils. The girl lifted her gaze. Her dark eyes were sparkling like a clear and transparent lake.

“Let’s start!”

“…”

“Sister, are you possessed?”

“Errr…”

Ye Yunji scratched his head. He turned around, took an egg, and placed it before his sister, saying, “Let’s start you off by drawing an egg. The most important thing in doing art is to grasp shapes. Do it slowly.”

Ye Yunxi nodded and pinched the pencil between her fingers. Slowly, she started to draw.

She had a good enough understanding of her big brother to imitate him. However, if she couldn’t draw, she’d be quickly exposed if anyone should probe in the future.

Hence to be safe, it was best for her to learn how to draw.

Seeing that it was about time for school, Ye Yunxi strapped on her satchel to leave for school. Just as she went downstairs, she saw Di Junxie, who had been hanging around there for an unknown period.

“Ha! Three days were up. Did he have to be so on time?”
