Song Mingyue asked softly, "So, you liked Ling Xiao even before he became so powerful?"
Shangguan Yutong smiled radiantly. "How should I put it? The way I liked him back then was more like an older sister's affection for her younger brother. I saw him as my own little brother! If anyone bullied him, I would secretly get revenge for him! Then, when I saw him looking all dejected, I would get so angry and give him a fierce scolding. Hehe, maybe even today, in his mind, I'm still that formidable teacher! Mingyue, you're a good person. Don't worry, I won't fight you for him, and I certainly won't fight Ye Zi or the others. I just want to stay near him, to watch him grow step by step, and to cheer for him from the background... That's enough for me. I've never really hoped for anything more."
