Yu Shuya saw Ye Yuxuan’s stunned look and gently shook his arm.
“Brother Ye, please save me, okay?”
Although Yu Shuya’s current body did not look like a beauty, she had a good voice. She was young now, so she sounded soft. She even liked to lengthen the last word she spoke, so she sounded like a spoiled child.
As Ye Yuxuan listened to the incessant calls of ‘Brother Ye’, he felt as if he was wrapped in candy. He only felt soft-hearted, as he was fond of her.
“Brother Ye, you’ll help me fight off the female ghost, so that she won’t dare to scare me anymore, right?”
Ye Yuxuan nodded before he could react. After he reacted, he did not feel that anything was wrong.
“Don’t worry, I will help you.”
Yu Shuya nodded in satisfaction when she heard this. Then, she was curious as to why he would appear here in the middle of the night.
“I came to ask you to be my friend because I feel sorry for you.”
Ye Yuxuan had been gnashing his teeth in anger for the entire day because Yu Shuya did not have any friends and she was bullied by others.
He did not read books, nor did he practice martial arts. He even ignored his master’s punishment of having him perform the horse stance tonight.
After his master went to bed, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He thought about how Yu Shuya had been bullied from morning till night, so he came to support her without caring about anything else.
Fortunately, he thought that he could not be exposed when he came to the nunnery, so he was very careful along the way. Then, he met the female ghost in red who was walking slowly on the way.
At that time, he was very scared and quickly found a place to hide. Then, he saw Yu Shuya jumping and running from afar.
Although Yu Shuya knew that Ye Yuxuan’s tone was bad and his words were unpleasant, she was now full of gratitude to Ye Yuxuan.
If it were not for his idea, she would really die tonight.
“Brother Ye, I don’t want to be your friend.”
Yu Shuya immediately retorted after hearing Ye Yuxuan’s words.
Although it was fine to be friends, Yu Shuya was absolutely certain. If they were just friends, it would not be enough for Ye Yuxuan to risk his life to save her.
Ye Yuxuan was waiting to hear Yu Shuya’s grateful words when he heard this sentence. His expression immediately changed. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Yu Shuya continued to speak.
“Brother Ye, I called you ‘brother’ because I see you as my own brother. Therefore, I don’t want to be friends. I want to be your sister. From today onwards, we are half-brothers and half-sisters.”
Yu Shuya looked at Ye Yuxuan expectantly, as if she would cry if he disagreed.
Ye Yuxuan felt that Yu Shuya’s words were strange, but he did not know what was strange about it.
He only felt that if they were to be friends, he could make the decision on his own. However, if they wanted to be siblings, he would have to discuss it with his family first.
When Yu Shuya heard Ye Yuxuan say that siblings had to be acknowledged by their parents, went through the genealogy, and entertained guests before they could be considered as real siblings, she felt dizzy.
Did he really think that she was going to join the Ye family and become a rich young lady? She only thought that a family relationship was far more reliable than a half-way friendship. She wanted Ye Yuxuan to always think that he still had a pitiful sister to save and protect.
They had only known each other for a few days, yet he trusted her so much. What if she was a young but experienced liar?
This big fool made her feel that she couldn’t even lie to him.
