Qin Feng squatted down so he was eye-level with the boy, a wide grin spreading across his face.
"Wait, are you serious about that last part?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "No boyfriend till you give the green light?"
The boy crossed his arms and gave a firm nod, trying to look as mature as possible. "Of course. She's my sister."
Qin Feng chuckled, clearly amused. "Alright, then let me ask you this—what about me?"
The boy blinked. "What about you?"
"I mean," Qin Feng said, leaning in slightly, teasing in his tone, "if I wanted to be your sister's boyfriend... would you approve?"
The boy stared at him for a solid three seconds, eyes narrowing. "Hmm."
Qin Feng waited patiently, arms resting on his knees. The boy tapped his chin thoughtfully.
"You're good-looking," he said slowly, "and you were nice to her. You also told me the truth… even though it hurt."
Qin Feng gave a humble nod, playing along. "So that's a yes?"
The boy shook his head immediately. "Nope."
