A new guide to winning over a girlfriend with an abstract identity is released every week.

Such intimacy is inappropriate even for siblings, right?

He was consumed by jealousy: "Hey? Even if they're siblings, there's no need to hug each other so intimately?"

Clearly, he still regarded Lin Zheng as Duan Peng.

"What? Why can't siblings be close?"

Seeing that Duan tide didn't react at all when he held her arm, Lin Zheng quietly slid his right hand down and gently placed his fingertips on Duan tide's palm as he spoke.

This was too much for Duan tide to bear.

She can accept being grabbed by the arm or something.

As her palm was pressed against his fingertips, a ticklish, tingling sensation surged into her brain, causing her heart to race instantly.

In particular, those five slender, delicate, and warm fingers were quietly reaching towards her fingertips.

As a girl, she instinctively wanted to pull away and tell Lin Zheng to stop.

For some reason, her heart was beating faster and faster, and she couldn't even make a move to resist.

Simply put, her body was out of control, and she slumped on the sofa as if she had lost all her strength, letting Lin Zheng hold her hand and interlock their fingers.

If it weren't for the cream she applied to her face to cover the blush, her cheeks would definitely have looked rosy, clearly showing how extremely shy she was.

Upon seeing this, Liu Jie's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at the two of them as if they were monsters.

He gasped, narrowed his eyes, and shook his head, saying, "I just can't accept that siblings are still so close now that they're all grown up. Let go of each other right now!"

When Lin Zheng saw Liu Jie get angry, he immediately let go of Duan tide's hand as if he was frightened.

However, he quickly looked at Duan tide apologetically: "Sister tide, I'm sorry, I forgot you were on a blind date."

Duan tide also snapped out of her daze as the two let go of her, a sweet smile appearing on her face as she gently said, "It's okay."

But it was only a three-word consolation.

Don't expect a girl who's always focused on her career to have any comforting words for her boyfriend.

When it comes to comforting people, they might be even more direct than men.

"Sigh~, the thought of Sister tide going on blind dates and getting married soon makes me very sad."

Lin Zheng's expression turned bitter, and he added in a choked voice, "It's really hard to accept..."

"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you sad?"

Duan tide couldn't understand what Lin Zheng was doing, but seeing him suddenly sad, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart and wanted to hug him and comfort him.

However, the two of them had never hugged before, so she couldn't and wouldn't do it.

"It's okay, Sister tide. It's just that this is the first time in my life I've met someone who's been so kind to me."

Lin Zheng let out a sound that resembled a sob, his expression slightly exaggerated.

Duan tide, blinded by love, couldn't see it and only thought that Lin Zheng was truly heartbroken.

At the same time, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, and she felt very gratified. She thought to herself, "Could it be that this brat is moved because I treat him very well, spend money on him, and provide him with resources to cultivate him?"

However, Liu Jie on the other side was so disgusted he almost vomited.

As a man, he could tell at a glance that Lin Zheng was deliberately putting on a show, pretending to be a wronged little puppy.

Ugh! How disgusting!

What exactly is going on between these two?

However, Lin Zheng's awkward acting continued: "Sister tide, do you know?"

Actually, when I was born, none of my friends came to see me. At that time, I couldn't even walk.

Can you imagine someone who is paralyzed, lying in bed, incontinent, and whose eyes are either open or closed all day?

Back then, I cried every single day; I cried so much that my eyes were swollen from crying.

After hearing what he said, Duan tide's face showed a strange expression.

She wondered to herself, was Lin Zheng's childhood really that miserable?

Wow, it must have been really difficult to get into Tsinghua or Peking University step by step.

Lin Zheng felt he could no longer continue acting.

Doesn't anyone feel there's something wrong with what he said?

However, since everyone was cooperating with his performance, he could only grit his teeth and continue speaking, choking back tears: "By the way, I had a strange illness back then. Whenever I closed my eyes, everything went black."

But it's okay, I got through it all, and I don't think these things are that difficult.

The thing that hurts me the most is that the two people I consider closest to, my dad and my mom, didn't tell me about their weddings or let me attend.

I really don't know who I can still trust in this world...

As he spoke, he suddenly let out a few sobs, as if he were crying.

Such a "tragic" upbringing made Duan tide's heart ache so much that she almost cried.

She could no longer control herself, completely forgetting any semblance of girlish modesty.

Her two slender, lotus-root-like hands naturally embraced Lin Zheng's head, pulling him into her arms: "Oh dear, don't be sad, don't be sad, you still have me~."

Let bygones be bygones. From now on, with Sister Xi around, she'll treat you incredibly well, spoiling you rotten...

As she spoke, two tears fell from her eyes.

Oh my god! I didn't know Lin Zheng had such a miserable past!

His parents got married without even telling him... Huh? His parents got married? They told him?

Her sad expression froze instantly.

She lowered her head, bewildered.

At this moment, Lin Zheng's head was nestled in her arms...

Her face flushed instantly, this time so bright that even the lotion couldn't hide it; you could clearly see her face turn red.

Sitting across from him, Liu Jie felt like the sky was about to fall.

I shouldn't have arranged to meet Duan tide today.

I never expected to witness such a scene.

Are you an idiot?

Do you want to see what your brother is saying?

And you actually hugged him...

You're almost there, right?

"Duan tide! Haven't you noticed that this kid is just spouting nonsense?!" Liu Jie couldn't stand the two of them hugging like this any longer and angrily shouted.

Duan tide knew, of course, that Lin Zheng was talking nonsense.

But... she had already pretended to be touched, so what was she supposed to do now?

She could only cooperate...

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she continued to hold Lin Zheng, and she said to Liu Jie with displeasure, "Liu Jie, can't you have a conscience? Can't you see how miserable Lin is? What's wrong with me taking care of him?"

"Waaah~, Sister tide, you're so good to me. You're the best person in the world to me. I love you, Sister tide." Lin Zheng groaned at just the right moment amidst her breasts.

At that moment, he felt truly happy.

So... this is what it feels like to be suffocated?

It's fragrant and soft; it would be even better if you could handle it.

When Duan tide heard the words "I love you," she was slightly taken aback. She looked down at Lin Zheng, whose face was buried in her arms, and her gaze softened.

A maternal smile spread across her face, and she thought to herself, "I love you too, you naughty little brother."

Love arises without knowing its origin, yet deepens with each passing moment.

After hearing "I love you," Duan tide felt a different kind of affection for Lin Zheng.

"Hiss~! Duan tide, are you two doing something incestuous!?" Liu Jie said, both angry and shocked, upon seeing the two of them like this.

Lin Zheng was suffocating. He struggled to get out of Duan tide's arms, took a few breaths, and then looked at Liu Jie strangely.

At this moment, he panted as if he was tired from doing *that* and said, "What incest? Sister tide and I aren't blood-related siblings, but in my heart, she is my sister."

Oh, right, you're on a blind date, please continue.

Um, I'll help my sister check it out.

By the way, do you own a house?

Lin Zheng spoke too quickly, and Liu Jie didn't immediately realize the relationship between the two, but he reflexively replied, "He owns a house in the city center, a 100-square-meter apartment on the peninsula."

"Do you have a car?" Lin Zheng continued to ask.

"Of course I do, I have a car worth over 100,000 yuan," Liu Jie continued in his reply.

Suddenly, he realized what was happening.

Holy crap! These two aren't siblings?!

They were so intimate just now!?

And besides, I'm on a blind date with Duan tide, what are you asking me for?!

"Do you have any savings?" Lin Zheng continued to ask.

At this moment, Liu Jie was silent, his eyes fixed on Lin Zheng as if he wanted to devour him.

He was furious, his mind filled with thoughts of how to teach this kid a lesson.

Seeing that Liu Jie did not respond for a long time, Lin Zheng's eyes gradually showed surprise. He asked in surprise, "You don't have any savings? And you're still paying off the car and house loans?"

Liu Jie remained silent, but this time his expression was slightly awkward.

Because... Lin Zheng was right.

He works for a government agency. Before he abused his power, it was already difficult for him to get loans to buy a house and a car, so how could he have any savings?

"Holy crap! You're thirty years old and have no savings, and your car and house are still on loan. Where do you get the courage to go on a blind date with our Sister Xi?"

"Sister tide, you should probably give up on this guy. To be honest, I wouldn't even consider him."

Lin Zheng crossed his arms and looked disdainful.

Duan tide clearly sensed that Liu Jie was angry.

She quickly stepped in to mediate: "Liu Jie, I'm so sorry, Xiao Lin was just being unreasonable."

At the same time, she waved to Lin Zheng repeatedly, signaling him to hurry up and leave.

Lin Zheng immediately understood, as if he had no idea what he had done wrong. He innocently got up, patted his butt, and prepared to leave.

Anyway, he had already disgusted Liu Jie enough, so Duan tide's image in his mind should have dropped significantly.

He simply couldn't believe that any man could tolerate a girl with a "stinky little brother."

He can tolerate this? He must be a slut.

As he passed Liu Jie, he muttered to himself again, "I'm thirty years old and still have a car and a house on loan. What a loser. When I was thirty, even if I wasn't rich, no matter how badly I did, I would definitely have paid for my car and house outright."

"Holy crap!"

Liu Jie was so angry with Lin Zheng that he cursed out loud. He clenched his fists and stared intently at Lin Zheng, but he only saw his departing figure, which quickly disappeared at the restaurant entrance.

After Lin Zheng left, Liu Jie had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only target Duan Xi. He scolded her like he was reprimanding a subordinate, "Duan tide, what's wrong with you? Do you think I'm doing you a favor by going on a blind date with you? Do you think it's doing you a favor by me, Liu Jie?"

Duan tide was immediately annoyed by his reprimand, but dared not argue back.

She bitterly consoled herself, "Fine, fine, you're the leader, I'll endure it. I'm not an ignorant little girl anymore, I'll endure it!"

"And another thing, this guy isn't your biological brother? Are you mentally challenged?"

"I'm sorry, my brother is immature and doesn't know how to speak properly..." Duan tide said apologetically, forcing herself to speak.

"Come on, didn't you realize that what this kid was saying just now was all a lie? What, that he was born without friends and couldn't walk? Do newborns have friends and can walk yet?!"

And what do you mean by "it's pitch black as soon as you close your eyes"? Damn it! Who doesn't see black when they close their eyes?!

Tell me, which baby doesn't cry all day long?
