In a large classroom at Haicheng University where a calculus class was being taught, An Wangshu listened listlessly to the teacher lecturing on advanced mathematics, which made him drowsy, while Ye Linyuan's face kept replaying in his mind.

What is my brother doing now? Are there other women around him? Does my brother have close contact with them?

No, no, no, that won't happen. My brother has always been very virtuous and would never have any close contact with those disreputable women.

I'm the only one who can keep that distance from my brother!

"Wangshu, what are you thinking about? Why is your face so red?"

Seeing An Wangshu's constantly changing expression, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but poke his arm with her pen and whispered a question.

An Wangshu glanced at her best friend, and couldn't help but recall the way Ye Linyuan had looked at her back then, instantly becoming wary.

Could it be that my best friend is also planning to steal my brother?

Thinking of this, An Wangshu leaned close to Xie Qingyu's ear and whispered a question.

"Whisper, tell me the truth, during the party on Friday night, did you have any improper thoughts about my brother?"

Wang Shu's brother?

In an instant, Xie Qingyu's mind conjured up the image of that godlike face illuminated by the lights on Friday night. Her pretty face flushed red, and she immediately buried her face in her arms, muttering softly in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Oh dear, Wangshu, how can you blame me? It's just that your brother is so handsome. You know me, I really have no resistance to handsome men, especially a super handsome guy like your brother..."

Hearing Xie Qingyu's words, An Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief.

My best friend is a total looks-obsessed person. If she's only attracted to my brother's good looks, that would be fine, since all I have to do is find her someone even more handsome than him to steal her attention.

But if she really falls in love with her brother, even if he's her best friend, she'll definitely break off all ties with him.

She didn't want to lose her only friend and best friend.

Fortunately, she only liked her brother's handsome appearance, not him as a person.

However, even though that's what they said, just in case, An Wangshu felt it was still necessary to plug all the loopholes.

"Whisper, we're best friends, right?"

"Yes, of course."

"So, best friends shouldn't take things that each other likes, right?"

"Hmm, I think so..."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, An Wangshu quietly asked Xie Qingyu.

"Whisper, let me ask you this: if a girl wants to pursue a boy, what should she do?"

Xie Qingyu raised her head, looked at An Wangshu with surprise, and said thoughtfully.

"The saying goes that it's easy for a man to pursue a woman, but difficult for a woman to pursue a man. If a girl is pursuing a boy, as long as she expresses her feelings, and as long as the boy's feelings for her aren't negative, they'll definitely be together very quickly."

"What if, what if there's something more... intimate between the two of them?"

"What kind of relationship do you mean by 'comparing'?"

"It's...it's...like a mortal enemy relationship."

"The kind of relationship where you're mortal enemies? I thought you meant siblings."

Xie Qingyu's words hit the nail on the head. In an instant, An Wangshu's face turned as red as an apple, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Xie Qingyu.

"Don't talk nonsense! We're not siblings!"

Hearing An Wangshu's blatant attempt to cover up his misunderstanding, Xie Qingyu sighed inwardly.

Could it be that my best friend has actually fallen for her brother? This is incest, miss.

No, that's not right. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. Wang Shu doesn't like her brother, but another boy. She's just shy because the two siblings are close.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Qingyu tentatively spoke up.

"Wang Shu, you two are siblings. There is an insurmountable barrier between you. If you were to get together, it would be like an incestuous relationship, which is against all reason."

Upon hearing this, An Wangshu wrinkled her little nose and said somewhat unhappily.

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense. Oh, Qingyu, just stop worrying about it and tell me what to do."

"I hope so."

Xie Qingyu sighed, having already made her decision.

Just as An Wangshu understood Xie Qingyu very well, Xie Qingyu also understood An Wangshu very well.

If An Wangshu didn't like her handsome brother, she wouldn't have asked him in such a coquettish tone just now; she should have just ignored him coldly.

"Oh dear, Whisper, I understand what you mean, but the actual situation is completely different from what you think. Please stop guessing and just tell me what to do."

Seeing Xie Qingyu's strange look, An Wangshu thought for a moment and realized that she had misunderstood, so she quickly spoke up.

But he couldn't possibly tell Xie Qingyu the real situation between the two of them. If he did, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble for his brother, so he could only offer a forced explanation.

Unfortunately, the more she said that, the more Xie Qingyu felt that her best friend had gone astray. However, seeing the pleading look in her best friend's eyes, Xie Qingyu still softened.

"Based on my experience reading so many romance novels, if the man and woman are mortal enemies, then as long as one of them falls into a disadvantageous position and has to back down, the other person, as long as they have feelings for the other, will definitely take advantage of the situation and climb down the ladder. Then, as long as there is a little setback, the man and woman can be together."

An Wangshu nodded, and began to think.

She and her brother weren't mortal enemies, but there was a huge obstacle between them. Of course, this obstacle wasn't with her, but with her brother. Based on her observations over the past two days, her brother genuinely only saw her as a younger sister, without any romantic feelings involved.

But I don't want to just be my brother's sister!

According to Qingyu, one of them needs to take the initiative to break the ice so that their relationship can progress further. If things go smoothly, they can get together soon.

Hmm, that's roughly what Whisper meant...

Seeing An Wangshu's "I understand" expression, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but speak up again to persuade her.

"Wang Shu, listen to my advice, pull back from the brink. If you really can't bear to part with your brother, I can help you."

Upon hearing this, An Wangshu's mind went blank for a moment, and she subconsciously asked a question.

"Huh? Help me? How can I help?"

"Introduce your brother to me..."

boom--!

"No, absolutely not!"
