The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

Jiang Yan took out a new tempered glass screen protector from her small backpack and started changing it right in front of me...

Faced with this scene, all I can say is...

Who in their right mind carries a spare tempered glass screen protector?!

This guy came prepared, didn't he?!

But I really find it hard to believe that Jiang Yan deliberately dropped the phone. You know, a drop like that could easily damage the internal screen. Would she risk spending over a thousand yuan to replace the screen just to trick me into giving her a kiss?

Is it really necessary...? You can't spend money like this...

A short while later, Jiang Yanyi changed the tempered glass screen protector and sat back on my lap.

"Brother Hua, you've kissed me so many times, your lips must be tired. Let me do it this time. Anyway, the effect on WeChat Moments will be the same. Close your eyes, I want to kiss your cheek~"

So thoughtful of me...

I looked at Jiang Yanyi with suspicion...

"Hmm?" Jiang Yan kept looking at me, appearing completely at ease.

"nothing……"

"Hehe, I'm here, Brother Hua~"

(Jiang Yanyi: It wasn't for nothing that I spent so long thinking about this plan at home. I've got you wrapped around my little finger, Brother Hua! So what if I break a phone? It's only a few thousand yuan. I have three spare phones in my backpack!)

(Please vote and give me some rewards at this late hour~ I'm begging you, considering how hard I've worked~)

As her cherry-like lips drew near my cheek, I finally couldn't resist.

"Wait a moment."

"Hua... Brother?" Jiang Yan tilted her head, blinked her clear, bright eyes, and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"A kiss on the forehead is enough..."

Actually, just the fact that Jiang Yan was straddling my lap with her arms around my neck was already putting me in a very awkward position. And now that I had accidentally kissed her several times, I was going to be kissed back by her. Looking at her girlish face, which was somewhere between childish and mature, I felt really guilty...

Jiang Yan paused for a moment, her bright eyes darting around as if she were pondering something, but she quickly smiled and said, "Sure, a forehead is fine, it's just to prove I have a boyfriend anyway."

The awkwardness in my heart lessened a little, and the image of Director Jiang's face also faded somewhat from my mind...

"Shall we begin, Brother Hua?"

"Um……"

"Where should I choose... right in the middle of the forehead, or a little to the right..."

Jiang Yanyi's face was very close to mine. Her mutterings carried not only her voice but also her warm, sweet breath. I instinctively looked up into her eyes, and they met mine. Her face flushed slightly, but she still smiled brightly. She seemed genuinely happy...

"Kiss me~"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yanyi's lips pressed against my forehead, soft and slightly cool, a stark contrast to my hard and hot forehead.

Soon, the phone rang with a "click," and in less than two seconds, Jiang Yan's lips left my forehead without any hesitation.

"Finally got the shot! It's definitely easier and faster to take a selfie by kissing myself."

"Yeah, that's true..."

I think I was overthinking it. Jiang Yan finished filming in less than two seconds. How efficient! She didn't look like she was trying to trick me into kissing her.

Jiang Yan looked down at the photos she had just taken on her phone, but she didn't immediately get off my lap; she remained very affectionate with me.

Soon, Jiang Yan turned off her phone screen. I asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to edit the photos? I see Tongtong and the others like to Photoshop their pictures..."

"Brother Hua, do you have low emotional intelligence?" Jiang Yanyi rolled her eyes at me.

"Clam?"

Jiang Yan flicked my chest with her finger and said with her cheeks puffed out, "It's so rude of you to mention another girl when you're taking a picture with a girl."

I was immediately at a loss for words. It wasn't that I had low emotional intelligence, but rather that I felt it was unnecessary to pay attention to it. I explained, "Aren't they our mutual friends? It's okay to mention them, right? Of course, I won't mention them to each other."

"No, I don't like them anyway. And Hua-gege, you can't mention them in front of me when we're alone together, okay..."

Jiang Yan suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around me, resting her chin on my shoulder, making me feel the soft warmth of a young girl.

"Okay, Yan Yi, I'll do whatever you like." Looks like I'll have to be more careful in the future.

Just as I was in a daze, I suddenly felt a cool sensation on my cheek.

"mua~ Brother Hua is so nice~"

I stared in astonishment at Jiang Yanyi in my arms, who quickly sat up straight after her "sneak attack".

"Yanyi..."

"Mua~ Do you like it?"

Jiang Yanyi then ambushed my other cheek, and after the attack, she looked at me with a big smile.

I couldn't help but touch the spot on my cheek where she had just kissed me...

"Yan Yi, why are you doing this..."

Jiang Yan blinked and said, "There's no reason why. I just feel that Brother Hua has always been good to me. He tutored me, taught me the right values ​​for friendship and learning, and supported my dream of becoming an artist, which led me to meet Sister Yao Yao. Now he's even treating me to hot pot! So I just wanted to express my gratitude. Does Brother Hua mind?"

"I didn't mean to mind... it was just a bit unexpected..." My feelings were very complicated because being kissed like that by Jiang Yanyi felt really awkward, especially after she sweetly asked "Do you like it?" I couldn't figure out what she wanted to ask me to like... her kiss or her as a person...

"Since Brother Hua doesn't mind, then I'm relieved. Although this is just a little sister's kiss to her big brother, it's a secret between the two of us. You can't tell Sister Yao Yao, understand?"

"I know..."

Because I was afraid that Luo Yao would get jealous without knowing the facts and might mistake Jiang Yanyi's feelings for me as romantic love, which would damage their sisterly relationship.

"Hehe, this is my good brother~" Jiang Yan hugged me again, as if she were hugging some great treasure.

Suddenly the door to the private room opened, and I instinctively turned around nervously. It turned out that a waiter was pushing a trolley and bringing in the hot pot ingredients. It was all Jiang Yan's fault for mentioning Luo Yao earlier; I almost thought it was Luo Yao bringing in the ingredients and catching Jiang Yan and me red-handed.

Even if it's just a waiter...

Perhaps his professional ethics as a newcomer are lacking, because while delivering the ingredients, he kept glancing at Jiang Yan and me out of the corner of his eye. Maybe our current posture was really ambiguous, which is why he kept looking at us. But I think this is a private room, or rather, an unwritten couples' private room. He should have been mentally prepared to see this scene by now, so why was he so curious and kept staring at us...

When my gaze fell upon the girl's face in front of me, I instantly understood. The awkwardness that had been lingering in my heart suddenly intensified. The more the waiter stared at me, the more unnatural I became. Only Jiang Yan was the most relaxed, sitting comfortably on my lap as if no one else was around.

"Sir, there's another plate of fatty beef coming up shortly."

"Okay...she's my sister." For some reason, I inexplicably explained.

But the waiter's expression became even stranger...

Yes, isn't it even stranger for the younger sister to sit like that?

So I added, "She's my adopted sister."

"Sir, madam, please enjoy your meal... Also, if you encounter any trouble, you can press the emergency button under the table, and we will come to help you as soon as possible."

He said that while looking directly at Jiang Yanyi... I wonder if I've been misunderstood...

"Thanks for reminding me. He and I are a couple, but there's a significant age difference between us."

After Jiang Yan said this, the waiter was slightly relieved and left the private room.

"Brother Hua, you're so stupid! Just say I'm your girlfriend, and there won't be any misunderstandings!"

"That won't do, Yan Yi... you're so much younger than me, it's too awkward to say it..."

"But Brother Hua is so young, not a middle-aged man. You can't tell from his appearance that he's that much older than me..."

"But actually, there's a 10-year age gap, and I just can't accept it; it feels awkward..."

"So that's how it is..."

Jiang Yan got off me and sat back in her seat, looking very dejected...

(Please vote for me! This is the last push for the monthly vote rankings, I'm counting on you guys (?o_o)?)

"Yanyi, have some of this tripe. Should I put it in your sauce bowl or an empty bowl?" I placed it in front of her.

"It will be all right……"

Jiang Yanyi's voice was flat and indifferent, without any of the excitement she had shown when we ate hot pot together. She didn't even take the initiative to pick up food from the pot, but instead absentmindedly bit the end of her chopsticks while propping her cheek up.

I moved closer and patted her head, asking with concern, "Why do you seem a bit unenthusiastic? Don't you like going out to eat with me?"

Jiang Yan didn't move her head, but glanced at me briefly before looking away, and said, "I suddenly don't have an appetite."

"Did you eat something disgusting that made your stomach upset and you have no appetite?"

"No... the only thing my mouth has ever touched is your face."

Am I shooting myself in the foot?

"Xiaoyan, why do you look like you have no appetite?"

"Don't add the word 'little'! Just call me Yan Yi." Jiang Yan Yi suddenly said, quite insistently.

"Fine, I won't call you that then..."

I was puzzled as to why she suddenly cared so much, and it reminded me of what I had just said about how the age difference between us had made her feel down...

"Yan Yi, do you hate it when people say you're young?"

"I'm not little anymore, I'm almost 16... I just hate it when you keep saying I'm like a little girl, Hua-gege. Please, do you think we 16-year-old girls are the same as people from your generation? We're not little girls anymore, we know more about things than you do..."

I do believe boys know more, but it turns out girls know so much at this age too...
