From then on, the communication between the two always seemed to subtly connect to their real lives.
This was a major breakthrough for Jiang Yan.
If it were others, they would have been in a relationship long ago.
But the young master was different. Despite Jiang Yan's countless allurements, the young master only made slight progress, entering a stage of ambiguity.
That atmosphere of knowing yet not saying, with an unspoken understanding between them, lingered for a long time.
Jiang Yan vaguely felt that this person might be deliberately stringing her along.
No, no, it should be the young master who was being strung along.
Until the winter break was about to end and they were about to return to school, Jiang Yan became anxious.
Playing games all day, how could they fall in love? Once they went back to school with beauties and popular girls everywhere, wouldn't that directly send her, the older sister, into the stratosphere?
Jiang Yan tested the waters several times, but each time her advances were deflected. Losing patience, she sent a direct message: "Wanna be internet lovers, brother?"
On the clean desk, a carton of milk was suddenly knocked over. The young man was caught off guard and hurriedly reached for tissues, but he didn't seem to care about wiping up the spill. He just stared at that line on the screen, his eyes and brows slightly tinged with a sense of helplessness.
This helplessness on the young man's face was accompanied by a hint of indulgence and shyness.
But the young master was, after all, the young master, his heart as clear as a mirror, discerning and perceptive.
Soon, Jiang Yan received a reply in the young man's clear, melodious voice: "Okay, but sister has to send me some photos."
This...
Jiang Yan hesitated, mainly because she thought he might seek revenge after a breakup.
Yan Xiao immediately seized on her weakness: "Sister isn't sending any? But then I don't know what sister looks like..."
Jiang Yan then thought that her task was to be subjected to his revenge anyway, so she might as well send a selfie.
Unexpectedly, the young master didn't acknowledge it, instead going on at length: "Why did sister hesitate earlier, did she go look for pictures online? Is this photo really of you, sister? Sister isn't a liar who specializes in tricking high school boys like me, is she?"
Jiang Yan was fed up with his nonsensical ramblings and ended up starting a video call with him.
It was in the evening, and the lady's smart lights had automatically adjusted to a night mode with soft lighting.
Jiang Yan sat at her computer desk, her honey-brown curly hair cascading down, inviting one to reach out and touch it. Her alluring peach-blossom eyes, with slightly upturned corners, gave an unintended glance that was heart-stoppingly beautiful.
Yan Xiao was stunned.
He had requested the video call to see her true appearance, because the photo she sent made her look almost unrealistically beautiful.
But the video revealed that she was even more gorgeous, arching her eyebrows in a seductive manner as she lazily asked, "Brother, have you seen enough?"
Yan Xiao snapped out of his daze.
After that, things progressed smoothly.
Now that they were together, they could indulge themselves fully.
When the young master invited Jiang Yan to play games, she would refuse if she wanted to, only playing with him occasionally when she felt like it.
This change was too obvious, and Jiang Yan worried that he might not be able to handle her fickleness. But the young master seemed to sense something and fell silent for a while before obediently giving up on games.
Games weren't as important as love, the noble young master thought to himself.
But Jiang Yan would sometimes slip up too.
One day, when Yan Xiao came home from school and finally had time for a voice call with her, Lu Enen happened to return home as well.
Little Lu Enen, carrying a delicious apple mille-feuille cake to feed her sister, stood by the door and listened for a while before knocking and coming in.
Jiang Yan panicked when she thought about the little loli setting, especially when Lu Enen fiercely demanded: "Who is sister talking to?"
Jiang Yan struggled to reply: "...A friend."
"Then why does he call you sister too?" The little loli put down the cake and pounced on her, extremely distressed.
Maybe it was just a couple's game?
But Jiang Yan couldn't let her know that, so she gently coaxed her: "Because he's younger than me too, just like you, so he has to call me sister as well."
It took a while to soothe the little girl's jealousy before she left. Jiang Yan heaved a sigh of relief, wondering, "Why doesn't our house have soundproofing? She heard everything."
But when she looked down, the call was still ongoing, and the Arabic numerals were ticking away second by second. The young master's clear voice came through, tinged with a hint of amusement: "Friend? Sister?"
Jiang Yan: ......
