Chen Jingyi called Lu Yibei "brother".
Of course, he's not my biological brother.
However, the two are indeed related by blood.
Lu Yibei's grandmother and Shen Jingyi's grandmother are sisters.
But when Grandma Shen Jingyi was young, she was abducted by a young man from Anhui Province.
Although Zhejiang and Anhui are adjacent, it still takes at least four or five hours to travel back and forth on the highway.
Even sisters don't see each other often after they get married...
There is a destiny in the dark.
The daughter, born to my sister in Anhui Province, met a young man from Zhejiang Province whom she admired when she grew up.
The young man was not only from Chaocheng, but also from Lu Yibei's small town.
The daughter is Chen Jingyi's mother.
After many twists and turns, she finally returned to the hometown her mother had been longing for.
As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative.
Although they are from two generations ago, because the two families live close by, Shen Jingyi would visit Lu Ming and Fang Lanyun on holidays.
…and Lu Yibei, that cheap older brother who often goes back to his hometown.
Chen Jingyi should have been very familiar with the Lu family.
I almost went the wrong way today.
She never imagined that the beautiful woman standing beside her, as cold as ice and snow, was actually standing at the door of Grandpa Lu's house.
At first, Shen Jingyi thought it was some beautiful woman from some family who was out for a stroll.
We just happened to arrive here.
Shen Jingyi thought the beauty was just standing there randomly, but she wasn't.
She clearly came prepared... no, she clearly knows Lu Yibei!!
Is he Lu Yibei's classmate...?
Chen Jingyi asked her cheap brother this question.
Lu Yibei exclaimed "Ah!" and then grabbed Ji Qingqian's small hand.
Ji Qingqian was still a little confused by the quiet girl in front of her calling her "brother".
She was instinctively pulled to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ah Bei, and then subconsciously glanced at the boy with the dazzling smile.
"Ah, are they classmates or lovers?"
He introduced it to his sister with a smile.
Shen Jingyi was stunned. Her round eyes stared blankly at the two women, both of whom were tall among their peers.
Lu Yibei added:
"My girlfriend, her name is Ji Qingqian."
If Lu Yibei's introduction only made Chen Jingyi's mouth slightly open...
Ji Qingqian's next expression made the little girl's pupils tremble.
After being pulled over by Lu Yibei, Ji Qingqian kept looking at the boy.
When she heard the term "girlfriend," Shen Jingyi clearly saw a glimmer of excitement in the eyes of this beautiful woman whose expression remained unchanged, as cold as ice.
She then pursed her lips, looked directly at Chen Jingyi, and nodded emphatically:
"Um."
“…”
This scene alone, with its simple introduction.
Shen Jingyi felt her mouth being forced open against her will, and then the two of them together stuffed some food that was meant for dogs into her mouth.
Oh, being single is still being a dog.
Chen Jingyi couldn't help but bite her canine teeth, sincerely expressing her current feelings:
"It's unbelievable..."
Lu Yibei makes a V sign with one hand:
"Why is it so unbelievable? Can't accept that your brother has once again taken the lead over you in life?"
The boy spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
The girl gritted her teeth again before brushing aside her dark sideburns—Chen Jingyi's hairstyle was somewhere between short and long, with the ends falling just above her shoulders.
It is said that this length is just the limit of the school's regulations; any longer and it will have to be tied up.
"I can't believe that anyone would be willing to date a straight man like you."
Shen Jingyi retorted sarcastically, "It's unbelievable that a college student like you would brag about being 'leading the way in life' to a high school senior. Besides, even dating doesn't count as being ahead. Some people have a more fulfilling life even if they don't date or get married!"
Lu Yibei did not refute Shen Jingyi's statement; instead, he nodded in agreement.
"The little one is still so good at spouting profound truths."
"These aren't profound truths; they're all very simple. You think they're 'profound truths' simply because you're stupid—"
Lu Yibei interrupted his sister's speech and said:
"Let's change the subject."
The younger sister raised her sparse, pale eyebrows: "Hmm?"
How did you do on your exam this time?
Lu Yibei used to not understand why adults always liked to ask about the younger generation's grades...
As he grew older, he noticed that every time he asked a question, he could see Shen Jingyi's eyebrows furrowing slightly, and he gradually came to understand the fun in it.
I've been caught in the rain before, so I wanted to break someone else's umbrella.
As is customary, senior high school students take monthly exams every month, but the September monthly exam at Shen Jingyi's school was combined with the new semester's diagnostic test.
The results were already in.
The calming device faintly revealed:
"As usual, top ten in the grade."
Lu Yibei snorted and smiled smugly:
"You're still a step behind me on the road of life. Back then, when your brother fell out of the top five in the grade, the teachers would assume it was because he was unwell and missed a test—"
Seeing his younger sister's face growing increasingly flushed, Lu Yibei added, "There's nothing wrong with talking about grades with high school seniors, right?"
That's right, and...
Shen Jingyi couldn't refute it yet. She tried to gather her words for a while, but only her face turned redder. In the end, she could only add one sentence:
"Unbelievable... I came to wish you a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and I never expected to hear you say something like this..."
Ji Qingqian glanced at Lu Yibei, then at Chen Jingyi, and softly asked Lu Yibei:
Did you go to the same high school?
Lu Yibei shook his head: "I went to high school in Hangzhou, and she went to Jiahe."
