"I don't have a crush on you. You are my big bro's future wife so how can I ever think about that?," Chen said, his voice sounded mellowed and sobered.

"If you don't, then there is no need to feel shy in front of me. I am not interested in an unripe fruit like you, so you are safe with me," Yang Zi assures.

​​

"Chen, get your ass out of there already. I am sure Mi Er isn't acting so shy with Feng like you do with me," Yang Zi said, knocking on the door again.

Yang Zi gave up on trying to persuade Chen after ten minutes of knocking on the door without getting any response from him.

"I am leaving now. Dress up and come downstairs," Yang Zi said loudly before she walked out of the room.

"Is Mi Er giving you trouble?" Yang Zi asked, when she met Yifeng drying Yang Mi's wet hair.

"No, she has been well behaved since the moment I woke her up," Yifeng said, as he continued drying Mi Er's hair.

"Good morning, mum," Yang Mi greeted as she stared at Yang Zi through the huge dressing mirror.

"How are you, baby? I hope you had a goodnight sleep," Yang Zi said as she approached them.

"I slept soundly last night. I wish I could come over to stay here every weekend," Yang Mi said.

"I know you are trying to coax me into agreeing to let you come over here every weekend, but I can't. Mum is the one who should make that decision, not me," Yang Zi said, stroking her dried hair.

"But mum listens...,"

"Mi Er, let's not talk about this now, Ok?" Yang Zi admonished. She loved Mi Er more than anyone can ever imagine, but she would not snatch away her mother's role from her, although Mi Er calls her mum.

"Baby, since you didn't bring your school uniform, you and Chen will have to wear your causal clothes to school today. I will make sure I talk to your...,"

"I had Butler Yun bring their various uniforms so they don't have to wear causal clothes to school," Yifeng said as he tied Yang Mi's hair into a ponytail.

"Brother Feng is the best," Yang Mi said, as she pecked Yifeng on his cheeks.

"Since your Brother Feng is doing a good job preparing you for school, let me go freshen up and prepare myself for work," Yang Zi said, before she walked out of the room.

Few minutes later everyone had already dressed up and gather on the dinning table for breakfast.

"Good morning, Brother Feng," Chen greeted, as he avoided glancing at Yang Zi.

"What took you so long?" Yifeng asked sternly.

"I was dressing up," Chen answered firmly as he took his seat.

"It took you over an hour to dress up? Do you think I don't know you were playing games on your phone, that is why you forgot to come downstairs for breakfast?" Yifeng asked firmly. He wasn't angry because of himself, but he was angry because Chen kept Yang Zi and Yang Mi waiting for over ten minutes on the dinning table.

"I...,"

"Feng, don't be so hard on him. I am sure he won't repeat the same mistake twice," Yang Zi quickly intervened, before Yifeng could scold Chen further.

"You don't have to indulge him in whatever he does. He needs to be scolded so he won't do it again," Yifeng said seriously.

"I am not supporting what he did. I am sure Chen will not do it again after today, so don't be upset," Yang Zi said calmly.

Yang Mi, whose gaze has been on Chen since the moment he stepped foot into the dinning room, quickly signalled him to apologise.

"Brother Feng, Sister Zi Er, I am sorry for keeping you both waiting. I admit I was wrong," Chen instantly apologised.

"It's Ok, Chen," Yang Zi said, his gaze on Chen who still avoided staring at her. Yang Zi turned to face Yifeng when he didn't make any comment.

"Brother Feng, are you still mad at Chen Chen?" Yang Mi asked cutely.

"I am not upset with him. I just want to discipline him, so little Mi Er need not to worry. I can get mad with everybody in this world, but I can never afford to get mad at the three of you. The three of you are that special to me," Yifeng said, smiling at them.

"You are special to us too," Mi Er remarked, grinning. Chen and Yang Zi could not resist smiling along with her.

"Come on, let's eat, now that everything is Ok? We've got to be on our way soon as you all know," Yang Zi urged everyone, as she carried her cutlery.

They all ate peacefully. Halfway into their meal, Yifeng who noticed Chen's behaviour towards Yang Zi spoke up.

"Chen, what is wrong? You keep avoiding staring at Zi Er. Did something happen between the two of you?" Yifeng asked, dropping his cutlery on the table.

"Nothing is wrong," Chen said, as he continued eating. He acted as though he did not know what his brother was referring to.

"You and Zi Er were so extremely close just last night, and here you are avoiding her gaze. You expect me to believe that nothing is wrong?" Yifeng probed further.

"Feng, I didn't know that Chen was the shy type until this morning I went to check up on him," Yang Zi said, smiling when she recalled Chen's reaction.

"Something happened?" Yifeng asked curiously. He focused his gaze on Yang Zi.

Chen instantly stopped eating when Yang Zi mentioned what occurred back then.

"When I went to wake Chen up like we agreed, I was surprised when I heard loud music playing in his room. After calling his name repeatedly and did not hear any response from him, I went to turn off the music but the moment I went to his bed to turn off the music from his phone I saw Chen come out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. I was stunned when he darted back into the bathroom....,"
