Song Meilianâs eyes were fixed on the cake box for a few seconds before she took it with both hands.âThank you,â he said.
âi didnât prepare a meeting gift, but iâll treat everyone to a meal in two days.â
âmeilian, iâm a little embarrassed to hear you say that. i didnât prepare anything. only shi yan and chang ru prepared it.â
Shi Yan prepared desserts for them while Chang ru brought them the local specialties of her hometown.
as ren kexin spoke, shi yan passed the pastries to her and chang ru.
after thanking them, ren kexin took it and said with a smile,âmeilian said that she would treat everyone to a meal. shi yan and chang ru brought gifts. if i say that iâm treating everyone to a meal or buying gifts for everyone, it would seem very insincere.â how about this, iâll invite you to my house during the national day holiday. Iâm not a local, my home is in the South City. Our town is an ancient town with good scenery.â
Jiangnan ancient town, misty rain village.
ren kexinâs gaze fell on shi yan as she spoke.
He felt that Shi Yan should go to the small town where her family lived. The ancient beauties in the ancient town would be a good match.
ren kexin then looked at jiang rui, who was sitting there, â âjiang rui, if you have time, you can go and play with us.â
âthank you. if you have such arrangements, i will definitely follow. iâve heard that the tourism industry in the south city has been developing very well in the past few years. iâve wanted to go there for a long time, but i never had the chance.â
âthen itâs a deal. if you guys donât have any other arrangements, come to my house to play!â
chang ru opened the pastry that shi yan had given her and took a bite. her eyes lit up.
After eating the delicious food, she was in a good mood, and her tone of voice became lighter. â sure, my house is far away anyway. iâm not going home for national day. â
âIâm not sure if there are any other arrangements,â song Meilian also expressed her opinion.
Shi Yan opened the cabinet to get her clothes. She turned around and smiled.âIâm not sure, but I should be able to go.â
â thereâs no hurry. school starts tomorrow. thereâs still a month. weâll talk about it then. â ren kexin waved her hand nonchalantly.
Seeing that Shi Yan was holding a set of clothes in her hands, not pajamas but a white t-shirt and black pants, and a casual jacket, Ren Kexin couldnât help but ask, â âshi yan, are you still going out?â
yes, we just reported to school today and are not familiar with the school. Itâs still early, so Rui âer and I plan to walk around and familiarize ourselves with the environment.
âDo you guys want to come?â he asked after a pause.
âLetâs go together. I donât have anything to do anyway.â
As Ren Kexin spoke, she asked song Meilian and Chang ru, â âwhat about you guys? Want to go shopping together? although i came two days earlier, to be honest, iâve been busy buying things for the past two days and havenât had the time to properly shop around the new school.â
âGo!â Chang ru ate her cake and replied happily.
song meilian turned on her laptop and turned around.âIâm fine with anything.â
âthen you guys can continue chatting. iâll go and change my clothes.â shi yan smiled.
ârui âer, if youâre bored, thereâs a book on the table,â she said, looking at jiang rui.
jiang rui shook her head like a rattle drum. â no, no, no. itâs rare that my brother isnât watching me read. yan, let me relax for two days. iâve already decided when i left home that i wonât touch any books during the military training except for tidying up! â
âGo and change your clothes. Donât worry about me.â
shi yan couldnât help but smile when she saw her look of fear and avoidance.âthen give me a few minutes.â
she took the clothes and went to the bathroom.
she went to the bathroom to change her clothes while chang ru continued to eat her cake, scrolling through her phone while eating. song meilian turned on the computer and seemed to be browsing a web page. she didnât look closely, so he didnât know what web page she was browsing. Ren Kexin didnât do anything. She just moved a stool over and sat beside Jiang Rui, chatting with her.
the general idea was to ask where jiang rui was from, why she had chosen haicheng university, and how she had met shi yan. these were all very common topics.
jiang rui was also a talkative person. the two of them got along very well and became familiar with each other after a while.
however, jiang rui still knew her limits. she only said that shi yan was a junior that her grandmother liked. her grandmother had mentioned shi yan many times. this time, shi yan had come to haicheng and stayed with them for a few days. it was only then that she got to know shi yan.
as such, shi yanâs three roommates knew that jiang rui was a local and that shi yan was not. however, shi yan and jiang rui had a very good relationship. it was not because of the politeness and friendliness of an elder who introduced them to each other. they really felt like good friends.
â jiang rui, i heard you mention your brother earlier. do you still have an older brother? â
âYes.â
â iâm so envious. iâm an only child, and iâve been dreaming of having an older brother. â
ren kexin looked envious.
jiang rui didnât say that it was good to have an older brother who was always in charge of everything, because she had always been glad that she had an older brother. she never hated the way he controlled her. in her opinion, she was indeed envious of having such a good brother, so she had nothing to deny.
he only said,âthis kind of thing canât be forced. besides, there are no benefits to having a brother.â
âThatâs true, but I still envy you! But I just heard you say that your brother seems to be very strict with you?â
âthatâs right, iâve never looked for a tutor. it was basically my brother who personally tutored me. when i was in junior high school, my brother happened to be in college. every night, he would video-call me and watch me read and do homework. when i was in high school, my brother graduated from college and came back. he kept an eye on me every day. that period of time was simply my nightmare.â
although she said so, jiang rui did not show any signs of displeasure or impatience.
From her expression, it could be seen that she had a good relationship with her brother. Although she was a little grumbling about her brotherâs oppression of her, she did not show the slightest bit of displeasure or impatience.
âBut if my brother didnât keep an eye on me, I wouldnât have been able to get such a low score in the college entrance examination.â
âI can see that you and your brother are very close. Iâm envious again.â
Jiang Rui smiled.
â you said that your brother personally tutored you in high school, â ren kexin said. â isnât your brotherâs academic performance very good? â
At the mention of Jiang Sheng, Jiang Rui seemed very willing to talk more.
she said proudly, â yes, my brotherâs academic performance is very good. he was the top scorer in the science college entrance examination in his batch. he studied at jingdu university and had a masterâs degree and a phd. â
ren kexin,âyingluo.â
âis your brother that powerful?â
She had guessed that her brotherâs academic performance would be very good, but she didnât expect it to be so good!
Even song Meilian and Chang ru looked over at Jiang Rui, clearly shocked.
jiang rui smiled. her brother had always been very capable. he had only managed to get a masterâs or a phd from the capital university when he had started to dabble in the family business.
Her brother had spent more time in Haicheng than in Jingdu when he was in college.
âheâs amazing, but heâs too strict with me.â
âIf I had such an outstanding brother, Iâd be happy to be strict with me! Rui âer, you donât know this, but I was lucky to be able to get into Shanghai University. My score was just right on the admission mark for my major, and I almost missed out on getting into Shanghai University. You have no idea how much I envy you for having such an amazing brother.â
As they chatted, Ren Kexinâs address of Jiang Rui changed from â Jiang Rui â to â Jiang Rui â and now to â Rui âer. the progress was very fast.
ârui âer, youâre so pretty, iâm sure your brotherâs looks wonât be bad either. handsome and talented boys are popular with girls. your brother has a lot of suitors, right?â
Jiang Rui was stunned.
