'Closer than even blood-related cousins.' The words made Zhi Wan's heart flutter.
'Was I overthinking it?'
She couldn't shake the feeling that her cousin's words held a deeper meaning.
But thinking of how well her cousin had taken care of her recently, she quickly pushed the thought from her mind.
'I must be overthinking things.'
All her cousin meant was that their bond was stronger than that of actual blood relatives.
At that thought, she felt a wave of relief.
Duan Ling watched Lu Zhan's possessive display and scoffed.
"Alright, fine. I won't fight you for her." He picked up his bowl of wontons and turned to go inside, but then he paused. Turning back to Zhi Wan, he said, "Even though a certain someone is too petty to let you be my little sister, if that same someone ever bullies you, you just come and tell me. I'll stick up for you." With that, he shot a meaningful look at Lu Zhan before disappearing into the room.
It was obvious who "a certain someone" was.
