For some reason, Star Han believed everything Yuya said without asking any further questions. After thinking for a moment, Star Han realized how unfortunate Yuya's situation was, and it seemed unlikely that her stepmother would provide the money for her education. It was such a waste for a girl like her not to go to school. With that in mind, Star Han asked, "When does your school start? How much is the tuition?"
"In five days, and the tuition is 2,000 yuan," Yuya replied, looking up at Star Han with hopeful eyes.
"Alright then. Since you're already here today, you can stay here. I have two rooms, so you can sleep in one of them. Everything you need is already here. Tomorrow, you can go home, and after five days, come to my place to collect the money. I'll have it ready for you," Star Han explained his plan.
"I won't go home. I will never go back. I'll leave tomorrow and come back in five days. Thank you so much. I don't know how to thank you. I..." Yuya was about to kneel down in gratitude.
Star Han quickly held her up. He had never received such treatment before. "Please don't do this. I can't handle it," he said, then thought for a moment and added, "Since you have nowhere else to stay, how about this: if you still trust me, you can stay at my place for five days. After five days, I will take you to school. How does that sound?"
Star Han didn't understand why he cared so much about this girl. According to his usual character, he wouldn't have acted this way. Somehow, he felt a sense of familiarity and closeness to Yuya as soon as he saw her. Perhaps it was due to his own experiences over the years. Meeting Yuya, who shared a similar unfortunate fate, made him feel particularly connected and compassionate.
"You're really kind. Why are you so good to me?" Yuya choked up a little.
"You trusted me without asking anything and followed me to my house. When I saw you, I felt a strong connection. That's probably why I want to help you. Actually, I'm not sure why," Star Han smiled and said.
"You're truly a good person!" Yuya exclaimed.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You've been kneeling on the street all day, and you must be tired. Go take a shower and rest early. We can discuss other matters later," Star Han said, noticing that Yuya was covered in dust, probably from kneeling for a long time.
Yuya quickly finished her shower. Since she didn't have any clothes with her, she wore one of Star Han's shirts. It was unclear where she found it, but even so, Star Han's eyes lit up when he saw her. He couldn't help but say, "Yuya, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful."
Her face, free from dust, appeared flushed either from happiness or the steam, shining brightly under the lights. Her wet, flowing hair added a touch of charm. The oversized shirt not only concealed her undeveloped figure but also sparked the imagination.
"Am I really that pretty?" Yuya seemed insecure.
"Of course, you'll know when you look in the mirror," Star Han replied.
Yuya didn't go to the mirror. Instead, she walked over to Star Han, slowly taking off her shirt. Star Han was shocked and quickly said, "Yuya, what are you doing?"
"You said I'm beautiful, right? I'm all alone, and there's nothing I can do to thank you. Since I might have some beauty, I want to give myself to you. I didn't mention it before because I was afraid you wouldn't be interested. When I was in the village, no one ever praised me for being beautiful," Yuya said slowly.
"You've misunderstood. I didn't mean that. Put your clothes back on," Star Han said when he saw her undressing. "If you continue like this, I don't want to help you anymore."
Yuya was startled and quickly put her clothes back on, saying sadly, "Do you think I'm not pretty enough? I know I'm not beautiful."
"That's not what I meant. You misunderstood," Star Han reassured her. "You're still young. How can you do something like this? Besides, if I were to do that, wouldn't I become a pervert? I'm much older than you, and I've never had a sister before. So, let's do this: I'll consider you my little sister. What do you think?"
Star Han knew that Yuya wouldn't feel at ease without a good reason.
"Unfortunately, I don't have a brother like you," Yuya said softly.
"Don't say that. If you don't mind, consider me your brother. I really want a beautiful and lovely little sister like you," Star Han said happily.
"Brother! Brother Star Han!" Yuya immediately called out joyfully.
"Okay, okay, I finally have a little sister," Star Han said cheerfully.
In the following days, Yuya stayed at Star Han's house. She helped with cooking, cleaning the floor, and organizing the rooms. Whenever Star Han had free time, he taught Yuya how to use the computer and type. During this time, Yuya also wondered why Star Han had so much money and such a nice house. Star Han told her that he was investing in stocks and making money. He even enthusiastically introduced her to the methods of stock trading.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed, and it was time for Yuya to start school. Star Han accompanied her to Xiangyang High School and took care of all the necessary procedures. Before leaving, he asked, "Won't you tell your family?"

"I won't. They wouldn't care about where I am," Yuya replied.
"But what if they find out later? Won't they worry about you?" Star Han asked.
"I have a way to make sure they won't bother me. Don't worry, Brother, I've got it covered," Yuya assured him.
"Alright then. I should go now. Here's 200 yuan, and here's a bank card with 1,000 yuan inside. The password is your birthday. Consider it your pocket money from your brother. Take good care of it. You should have some money on you, as there might be expenses at school. If you need anything, just give me a call. If you don't want to go home on Sundays and have no classes, you can come to my place. Okay, I'm leaving now," Star Han said.
"Brother, you're so good to me. No one has ever treated me this well. I don't know..." Yuya was on the verge of tears.
"We're siblings, so there's nothing special about it. Call me if you need anything. I'm leaving now," Star Han said.
"I understand."
After the start of the semester, Star Han declined all positions at school. Apart from attending classes, he spent his days playing with stocks, browsing various stock market forums, commenting, and even chatting in chat rooms. He quickly made a few friends online, learned some experiences, and gained some lessons. Star Han focused on short-term trading, buying at low prices and selling when there was a small profit. After several attempts, he had both gains and losses, but overall, he made a profit of tens of thousands of yuan.
The semester passed without any major events. Star Han rolled in the stock market, gradually becoming familiar with it. Although he didn't earn a lot of money, he believed that he could take bolder actions. He no longer approached it cautiously, fearing missteps. Star Han believed that if given the opportunity, he would be able to rise to the top.
At school, Star Han remained quiet and focused. Since the encounter with Shi Yi at the beginning of the semester, they hadn't seen each other again. Throughout the semester, Yuya visited Star Han almost every Sunday, helping with household chores and cooking. When Star Han had free time, he also tutored her in her studies. Over the course of the semester, the two became close, with a relationship even better than that of biological siblings. They could talk about anything. Yuya maintained good grades in high school.
The semester passed in such a peaceful manner. Winter vacation arrived, and Star Han, being an orphan, was alone wherever he went. In the past, he would spend the New Year at his grandmother's house, but they weren't particularly welcoming either. He used to go there because he had nowhere else to go, but now that he had a place of his own, and with Yuya still at home, she didn't want to return. Star Han knew it was useless to persuade her. After enduring years of suffering from her stepmother, having a place to stay was indeed better than going home. Star Han bought some things and prepared to celebrate the New Year with Yuya.
One day, when Star Han returned home after buying groceries, he found a couple in his room. The man was sitting on the sofa, smoking with a gloomy expression, while the woman was berating someone.
Star Han heard the woman say, "You little seductress! You're so young, yet all you know is to seduce people. We found you a husband, but you don't want him. Instead, you want to fool around outside. You have no shame! Don't think you can just leave like this. Do you think you can spread your wings and fly away, abandoning your family? It's not that easy. Let me tell you, if you want to leave, fine, but first give me money. Otherwise..."
Star Han couldn't bear to listen anymore and walked into the room, interrupting her coldly, "Who are you two? This is my room. Who allowed you to come in?"
"Oh, so it's you. Yuya, this little seductress, I didn't expect you to find such a young man. What money can he have? Let me tell you, without money, Yuya, you should come back home with us. Otherwise, I..." The woman's spit flew as she spoke.
Yuya's face turned pale, and her lips tightened. She didn't say a word, but when she saw Star Han enter, her face grew even paler. Seeing this, Star Han suddenly became angry for no reason. He coldly said, "I don't care who you two are, but let me tell you, this is my house. Get out immediately, or I'll call the police."
The woman was stunned and then started shouting, "Husband, look, he's telling us to get out. Why aren't you saying anything? Are you dead? You're just peacefully watching them be together."
"Yuya, come back with us. You have to come home, staying here isn't right," the man sighed and said.
"I'm not going home. I won't go home even if I die!" Yuya said in a low voice.
"Huh, what kind of words are these? Our home is a den of wolves. Don't think staying here is safe. I'm not so easy to talk to..." the woman started to say again.
Star Han looked at the woman with disgust and coldly asked, "You want money, right? How much do you want? I'll give it to you. But if you take the money and continue to bother Yuya, I won't be polite anymore."
The woman hesitated for a moment, then said, "Three thousand yuan. If it's any less, I..."
She wanted to say something harsh, but under Star Han's gaze, she couldn't help but swallow her words.
Star Han asked calmly, "Three thousand yuan? Is that right?"
"Yes."
"Good!" Star Han came out of the bedroom, took a stack of money, and threw it at the woman, saying, "Here's five thousand yuan, all for you. But I don't want to see you again. If I find out you're still bothering Yuya, I won't be polite!"
After saying that, Star Han looked around, picked up a glass, and crushed it with his hand. He continued, "This glass is the best example. If you don't leave, do you want me to make you leave?"
The couple was frightened by Star Han's strength. The woman counted the money and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, we're leaving!"
"You're lucky to have found a wealthy master," the woman turned around and said to Yuya.
After speaking, she pulled Yuya's father and left. Yuya's father glanced back at Yuya and followed them. During the entire encounter, Yuya hadn't said a word. It was only after they left that Yuya suddenly burst into tears. Star Han quickly walked over, patted her shoulder, and said, "It's alright, they're gone. But from now on, you probably can't go back. But don't worry, I will take care of you and ensure you won't suffer any grievances."
After hearing Star Han's words, Yuya turned around and threw herself into his arms, crying even harder. Star Han hugged her, feeling a bit at a loss. Fortunately, Yuya soon stopped crying. She lifted her tearful face from Star Han's embrace and asked, "Brother Star Han, why are you so good to me?"
"I don't know why. I really don't know," Star Han said, laughing and crying.
Yuya looked at Star Han intently, and after a while, she said, "Brother Star Han, I will always remember your kindness. I will repay you."
"Why are you taking it so seriously? It's not a big deal. You are my sister, and if I don't treat you well, who will?" Star Han didn't want Yuya to worry too much about this matter.
"This is a big deal to me! Oh, let's not talk about it. Are you hungry? I've prepared food for you. Let's eat," Yuya said, running over to bring out the food.
