Ethan Hayes looked at Vivian York, who was now completely frozen, and pursed his lips. With his large hand gently shaking her wrist, he said, "Hey, are you listening."
With that shake, Vivian instantly snapped back to reality.
Looking at Ethan's face, which was already flushed red, she hesitated for a moment and then said in a low voice, "But you... are younger than me by an hour, and a year below me. I've always seen you as a little brother..."
Listening to her words, Ethan's thin lips pressed into a straight line. Since he had already said the most difficult thing, he decided to persist shamelessly, "I know, I know, you told me that last time."
"So..." Vivian opened her mouth, unsure of what to say next.
"So can you start treating me as something other than a little brother now?" Ethan took a deep breath and said sullenly to Vivian, "It's just an hour, I don't want to be your little brother at all... Can you seriously consider me?"
