"That's right, only really close people call each other by nicknames, Brother Xiao Jiu." Xiao Qi turned his head back and chimed in.
Shen Qian immediately perked up, his lips curling into a smile.
"Then Manman, you should also call me by my nickname, just like Xiao Qi does. Just call me Brother Xiao Jiu." Shen Qian said, his face filled with a warm smile and hopeful anticipation as he looked at Lian Manman.
Fatty Shen, that guy, really knows how to seize an opportunity! He actually wants her to call him Brother Xiao Jiu!
"Xiao Qi calls me sis, too. So, Fatty, are you going to call me sis like him?" Lian Manman quipped.
This little rascal—if you don't put him in his place, he'll climb all over you before you know it, Lian Manman thought as she clenched her fists secretly.
"But I'm older than you." Shen Qian countered.
"...How about you just call me Xiao Jiu instead?" After a while, seeing that Lian Manman wasn't budging, Shen Qian reluctantly settled for a compromise.
