Yu Songbai caught sight of Kuli's secretly gritting teeth and couldn't help but furrow his brow. Even if he was somewhat clueless about matters of the heart, he could tell that Kuli was holding a grudge against his sister. He could turn a blind eye to many things, but if this woman dared to harm his sister, he wouldn't hold back—he would be the first to object!
"Brother Ting, doesn't Kuli dislike you?"
Yu Songyu walked alongside Gu Ting on the bustling street, soaking in the festive atmosphere of the New Year while indulging in some gossip.
"Well," Gu Ting replied without hesitation, "Kuli has confessed her feelings for me many times. Unfortunately, I just don't feel the same way. But I don't want to hide this from you, Xiao Yu."
"I knew it! The way she looks at me is definitely not right; she sees me as a rival!" Yu Songyu exclaimed with a knowing expression.
"Yeah, luckily you’re here to be my shield! I appreciate it!"
"Oh, it's no trouble at all! I'm more than willing to take a few arrows for Brother Ting!" Yu Songyu felt that since Gu Ting had taken good care of her since childhood, helping him out was the least she could do.
"Is that really okay?"
"Of course! If she comes after you again, just use me as a shield! But Brother Ting, what about your girlfriend?"
Yu Songyu wasn't afraid of being used as a shield; she suddenly remembered that Gu Ting had mentioned having someone he liked. Was she overstepping her bounds?
Gu Ting hesitated for a moment, pondering how to express himself. Should he just lay his feelings bare?
"Hey, if you don’t say anything, I get it!"
Seeing Gu Ting hesitate and not speak up, Yu Songyu wore a mischievous grin. She guessed that their relationship might still be in its early stages. Gu Ting probably didn't want to reveal the identity of the girl too soon as a form of protection.
"Don't worry; I've got your back. Let the storm come even stronger!"
After saying this, Yu Songyu struck a heroic pose, which made Gu Ting chuckle despite himself. He felt that this time seeing Xiao Yu had made her even more lively and clever than before.
However, there was nothing strange about it; after all, people do change. With a girl like that, it was hard not to like her, right?
At the dining table, Kuli noticed Yu Songbai looking at her and assumed he had feelings for her. She rolled her eyes in disdain.
Sigh, Yu Songbai was just about to lose his temper when he suddenly realized that the elders were present, so he held back.
Did this woman really think he was interested in her? She should take a good look at herself first; what a sight! While it might be a bit harsh to call Kuli ugly, she wasn't exactly a beauty either. However, compared to his sister, she was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Besides, even if she were as beautiful as a celestial being, if she didn't measure up to his sister in his heart, then she would always be an eyesore to him!
Though he hadn’t played with his sister much when they were younger, his protective instincts as an older brother would never change. The reason he didn’t include her back then was simply that the games boys played weren’t suitable for a girl like her.
Throwing stones behind the toilet and playing with mud—was that really appropriate for a girl?
As an older brother, he wished his sister could understand his good intentions someday. Sighing to himself, Yu Songbai found himself unexpectedly moved by his own thoughts! He raised his glass and downed it in one go, wondering if there was any brother in the world better than himself.
The people at the table were startled by his actions. What was wrong with this kid? That was a whole cup of strong liquor!
