TSFLIP Chapter 437

The beautiful villa, the finely decorated room—unlike her older brother, five-year-old Ji You was still a completely innocent child. So, when she saw a room so different from the orphanage, she was utterly amazed. Under the nanny’s guidance, she excitedly began touring what would be her very own room.

Ji You was curious about everything. Ji Mian, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Back at the orphanage, he was a quiet and obedient boy, and even now, in the grand Xia family estate, he remained just as calm and composed. It made people wonder—if you pointed a knife at him, would he still look this unbothered?

Feng Guang was curious, so she decided to test it. She quietly snuck up behind Ji Mian, took out something sharp and hard, and pressed it against his back.

“Don’t move.”

Ji Mian didn’t. He didn’t even turn his head. He simply asked gently, “What are you trying to do?”

“Aren’t you scared?” Feng Guang asked, a little disappointed by his calm reaction. She pulled the object away and stepped in front of him, blinking in confusion.

“Why should I be scared?” Ji Mian looked down at the girl who only came up to his waist, and then noticed what she was holding—a Donald Duck piggy bank with a cute little pointy beak.

Feng Guang tilted her head. “Because maybe I’m holding a knife.”

“You wouldn’t bring a knife.”

“How do you know I wouldn’t?”

“Just a feeling,” Ji Mian said with a soft smile.

“Wow… your instincts are amazing.” She didn’t have a knife—sharp things seemed dangerous in a modern world like this. She glanced around the room again and asked sweetly, “Do you like this room? I passed by Ji You earlier, and I heard her say she loves hers. Hehe, I decorated both of your rooms myself!”

Yeah… a pink-themed room—most girls would love it. Too bad Ji Mian wasn’t a girl.

But the corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly. “I like it.”

See? He always knew the right thing to say to please people.

“Oh…” Unfortunately, Feng Guang didn’t feel very happy about it. Still, she quickly adjusted her mood and shoved the piggy bank into his hands. “This is all the allowance I’ve saved. From now on, I won’t waste money on toys or clothes. I’m going to save it all for you. I said I’d take care of you—and I will. I’ll protect you, too. I promise.”

Ji Mian held the piggy bank, still warm from her hands, and smiled with gentle eyes. “Thank you, Feng Guang.”

“No need to thank me! You’re my big brother now. Of course, I should take care of you!”

A little sister taking care of her big brother… Well, if she said that’s how it should be, then so be it.

Feng Guang leaned over and tugged on his hand. With eager eyes, she asked, “So… can I call you ‘big brother’ now?”

“You can,” Ji Mian said with a soft smile, showing no signs of resistance.

She immediately beamed and shouted, “Big Brother!”

“Feng Guang.”

“Hmm?” It was the first time he said her name, and somehow it sounded so nice—she was completely charmed.

Ji Mian gently patted her on the head. “Now that I’m your big brother… doesn’t that make little You your little sister too?”

“Yup!”

“And since Feng Guang promised to protect me… you’ll protect little You too, right?”

Without hesitation, she said, “Right!”

“Feng Guang, this is our promise, okay?”

“Mhm…” Six-year-old Feng Guang nodded seriously. “Protecting little You—that’s my promise with Big Brother.”

What those still scheming in the dark didn’t know was this:
They would one day pay a heavy price for this promise.
