Rong Si looked down at her and firmly answered, “I will spend the New Year’s here.”

“That’s great! You and Auntie Song can stay at my house. We have a few spare rooms!”

Rong Si looked at the European-style three-story bungalow behind Su Jiu. This was her home now. The difference between the house he lived in in the small southern city and this was like that between day and night.

He suddenly felt inferior to her. He felt she was like a high and mighty princess while he was just a poor and ordinary person below her.

It was already an honor that she was willing to look at him. And here she was, standing in front of him and even smiling at him.

At this moment, Su Jiu’s eyes were filled with anticipation as if she really wanted him to stay at her house. Although Rong Si wanted that as well, he was doubtful that he would be welcome here.

Even if Su Jiu wanted this, her father would not agree.

Rong Si knew that Uncle Su was like a protective wolf, guarding his daughter against him and other boys. He was afraid that Uncle Su would take Little Jiu away.

“Will your father agree?” Rong Si couldn’t help but ask.

Su Jiu choked on her words. That was right; her father would not agree to this. On this matter, she knew that no matter how much she pleaded with her father, he would not agree.

Su Jiu thought about it and asked, “Big Brother, where are you and Auntie Song staying now?”

“At a lodge.”

“A lodge?” The moment Su Jiu heard that, she could only imagine a place with very simple and crude conditions. She said quickly, “You and Auntie Song took the trouble to visit, how can you stay in a lodge? I’ll book a hotel room for you. It’ll be nearby, is that okay?”

Rong Si knew that the people living in this area were rich and powerful. The hotels nearby were five-star hotels, and the cost of staying here for one night was very high. He didn’t want her to spend so much money. “No need, the lodge is good enough.”

“No!” Su Jiu puffed up her cheeks and stubbornly retorted. “Big Brother, I want to do this for you and Auntie Song. If you say no, I’ll ignore you!”

Upon hearing those words, Rong Si instantly compromised. “Alright, you can book a room.”

Su Jiu immediately smiled. Just like before, she stood on her tiptoes and patted his head. “That’s right. Big Brother, you can’t stop me from treating you well, okay?”

Rong Si looked at her steadily, an unknown emotion surging in his dark eyes. “Why are you so good to me?”

Because—

You are the baby I like!

Of course, Su Jiu did not say this out loud. If her child knew that the little sister in his eyes was actually a fan who wanted to care for him like a mother, wouldn’t he find it ridiculous?

Su Jiu rolled her eyes. A sly glint flashed across them before she smiled at Rong Si. “Because you’re my best friend. If I don’t treat you well, who would I treat well?”

Best friend?

This answer didn’t surprise Rong Si, but he wasn’t happy with it. He knew that he wanted more than just a friendship. He wanted to go further.

Of course, this could only happen in the future. For now, he would just have to be satisfied with that answer.

He held her hand tightly and asked again, “Then will you treat others well also?”

Su Jiu tilted her head and asked, “Who do you mean by ‘others’?”

“Just…” Rong Si averted his gaze and said uneasily, “other guys. ”

“Of course not!” Su Jiu replied without thinking.. “You are my best friend. How can I treat them better than you?”
