After Yi Jinli had squeezed out some toothpaste onto the toothbrush, he filled the cup with warm water before placing it in her hand.
Ling Yiran blushed and had no idea how she had managed to brush her teeth a few moments later. She was surrounded by his scent.
Yi Jinli took a towel and wet it under the warm running water.
"I can do it myself..." Ling Yiran said, biting her lips.
"Isn't it easier if I do it?" he asked.
Although what he said was true, they were standing too close to each other! His arms were on her sides, and when he wet the towel and wrung it...
Ling Yiran lifted her eyes to look into the mirror.
All along, she had known that Yi Jinli was good-looking. However, his forehead was no longer covered by the bangs, and he was in a suit, looking elegant. He seemed high up, beyond one's reach.
Ling Yiran hadn't noticed it in the past. Even Lianyi had reckoned that he was not a homeless person, but she had insisted that he was in a similar situation to her and had kept him by her side.
"Was it because... I was feeling lonely?"
The reality was that Yi Jinli wasn't a homeless person, and was in fact someone of distinct status.
Ling Yiran could tell that his attire was expensive, and the doctors and nurses had treated him with great respect.
"Sis, what are you thinking about?" Suddenly, her thoughts were cut off by his question.
"Are you angry with me for deceiving you?" Yi Jinli asked after some time.
Ling Yiran was unsure of her feelings about the deception. She detested people deceiving her, especially when it had gone on for so long.
However, she had enjoyed the time that they had spent together, and it was like a dream. Moreover, if he had not saved her, her life would have become like hell on earth.
After taking a deep breath, she lifted her head to look at him in the mirror and said, "Jin, I don't blame you." She knew that from then on, he would no longer be her brother. The two of them were from different worlds.
Yi Jinli knitted his brows. He should have felt happy when she said that she did not blame him. However, he felt disturbed by her gaze.
She seemed to have alienated herself from him, and he did not like that feeling.
