“What if I were not your brother, would you still like me?”

Xia Liang was surprised by Xia Min’s words. She frowned because she didn’t understand what he was saying.

“But you are my brother. If you are not, are you still Xia Min?”

To Xia Liang’s knowledge, her brother was Xia Min. if she liked Xia Min, she liked her brother. Xia Min was her brother. There was no difference.

Xia Min’s heart missed a beat when he heard Xia Liang and got a bit nervous, excited and also full of expectation.

Are you still Xia Min?

Did she mean what he thought she would mean?

Xia Min showed his hand all out. Since that he got so far right now, he would be gone mad if he couldn’t figure out everything and get a clear answer.

He would rather get hurt by a cruel and straight answer than be torn between two guesses.

Xia Min, reaching for Xia Liang’s wrist and approaching, whispered to her ears, “Liang, I don’t want to be your brother. But I will always be Xia Min. Do you know what I mean?”

“I don’t want to be your brother. All I want to be is your brother. Would you still like it?”

Xia Min could feel that he was so nervous that his heart was about to jump of his chest.

“Yes, I do.” Xia Liang nodded and said seriously, “Xia Min is the one I like.”

If there is someone she liked, it could be Xia Min for who he was. She liked him as being him, not being her brother.

Xia Liang herself was literally not Xia Min’s own sister. Therefore, basically she didn’t think him as her biological brother at all.

In Xia Liang’s eyes, Xia Liang was, for one thing, a handsome, good-looking man. After that, he was her brother.

The reason why she was sure that she liked Xia Min because she felt familiar, peaceful and comfortable when she was with Xia Min as though they had have known for a long time.

Sometimes he reminded her of Ji Yue. She was fully aware that they were different persons because they looked completely different. But they did have same quality when she was with them, especially the time she threw herself into his arms.

Xia Liang still cared about it a lot how much disappointing and sad Ji Yue was when she said goodbye to him in last world. Every time she thought of it, she felt uncomfortable and pain deep inside.

Xia Liang was a simple but also cold-hearted person. It was not easy for her to grow fond of someone else, not even get attached to anyone.

However, if there was someone she cared about, Xia Liang didn’t want to let him down. That was why she decided to stay. She didn’t want to see disappointment in Xia Min’s eyes too.

For that moment, Xia Liang finally understood.

9957 was right. She liked Xia Min. Just because she liked him, she didn’t want to let him down. That was why she chose to stay with him.

Xia Min was thrilled to hear what he wished for on one hand. On the other hand, he didn’t believe what he heard. Did it mean that his expectation really became true?

Liang just said, “Xia Min is the one I like.”

She said Xia Min, not brother.

“Liang, do you know what you just said?” Xia Min leaned forward, cornered her against the window, right against her body, whispered into her ears,

“Liang, I like you so much that I want to kiss you, nothing like the way a brother likes a sister. I am so eager to hold you in my arms and have you in my heart. Liang, are you feeling the same way about me too? Do you like me so much that you want to kiss me too?”
