Meanwhile, when Xiao Zhiren came inside the room and sat beside Ran Zi, he was so lost in his own sweet world of bliss that he failed to notice the way Ran Zi was trembling beside him.
"Big bear, where is Oniisan?" Yuan questioned as he saw that only Xiao Zhiren was back but Ru was missing.
"He"ll be back after calming down." Xiao Zhiren replied with a mysterious smile while Yuan completely failed to understand his brother"s meaning.
However, there was someone who looked horrified. Ran Zi was about to go crazy. Earlier, he had wanted to leave the room to attend a call when he encountered his brother kissing Ru. He was shocked beyond belief.
He kept reminding himself that his brother had someone in his heart and what he saw was just his own mind playing games with him. "Stupid alcohol! I"m never touching you again!" He glared at the liquor before him. "But what if being alone all these years really made bro too lonely? And Rong is even an enchanter, I can"t blame bro for falling for him. Urgh! I"m losing my mind now!"
Seeing Ran Zi"s unwavering gaze at himself, Xiao Zhiren raised his brow, "Are you alright, Ran Zi?"
Ran Zi was jolted awake and he nodded his head with much difficulty. He lifted his hand and patted his brother"s shoulder saying, "Bro, I"m always with you. No matter what you do, just remember that I"ll be right there to support you."
Xiao Zhiren took his words to be just his drunken blabbering and said, "I know. You don"t need to tell me that."
Ran Zi gave him a sad smile and thought, "Right, I should be by his side. So what if he likes Rong? We live in the modern era. Everything is possible. I shouldn"t make it difficult for him at all."
He was the true example of the brother who would always support his brother at any cost. If Xiao Zhiren said to stand, there was no way that Ran Zi would dare to sit. But now, he was thinking about how he was going to pretend like he knew nothing about that kiss. After all, he had always been really bad at hiding things from Xiao Zhiren.
His predicament was avoided for the time being as the door opened and Ji Caihong entered along with another girl.
"Sorry, I"m late." She cheerfully started talking while going around to Zhang Han and Yuan"s side. "Oh, right. That"s Tang Yiyi. My best friend." She introduced the girl standing at the side in a pure white dress looking like a well-mannered lady.
"h.e.l.lo!" Tang Yiyi greeted everyone and added, "Congratulations on your graduation." She pa.s.sed a bouquet of flowers to both Zhang Han and Yuan politely with a smile.
After the initial introduction, Ran Zi pulled his sister to his side and gritted his teeth saying, "Why did you bring that thing with you?"
"Ran-Ge! Yiyi is my friend, not a thing. I told you to be nice to her." Ji Caihong didn"t look pleased with her brother"s way of speaking about her best friend.
"She"s your friend, keep her in your circle. This is a family thing. You can"t bring an outsider." Ran Zi added sternly.
"But you told me that Ren-Ge was bringing Mr. Xie Rong. That"s why I brought a friend as well." She answered stubbornly.
Ran Zi rolled his eyes at her and turned to his elder brother, "Bro, would you please enlighten our dear sister whether Xie Rong is a friend in this circle or family?"
Although Xiao Zhiren didn"t know his intention, he still answered, "Rong is a part of the family. Why?"
Ran Zi gave Ji Caihong a knowing look which she disregarded and walked away from him. "Anyhow, where is Mr. Xie Rong?"
"Outside. He"ll be in soon." As Xiao Zhiren"s voice was heard. A pair of glossy eyes flashed with a malicious light. But in the dim lights of the room, that person was gone unnoticed except for Ran Zi whose eyes had been on that person from the beginning.
