"Even if they get angry, they'll only give me trouble, not you. What are you worried about?" Zhan Lan's tone was calm, showing no fear at all.
"Brother, I don't want you to argue with them." Zhan Xiaoxiao was clearly the type of little girl who relied more on her brother.
Zhan Lan patted Xiaoxiao's head to comfort her: "This isn't arguing. It's just a clash of two different mindsets. I can't live my life exactly according to their plans. Do you want to see your big brother living unhappily?"
Zhan Xiaoxiao became much more obedient after having her head patted.
She decisively shook her head: "I don't want brother to be unhappy."
"Then that's settled. Whatever I do, I have my limits. Mom and Dad may not understand me, but you can't. If you're like them, it'd be a waste of all my affection for you."
This was practically brainwashing.
Ji Nian watched as Zhan Lan successfully brainwashed Xiaoxiao and was somewhat impressed by his talking skills.
