Just like how Shen Jingyi never thought her brother was handsome.
Lu Yibei had never thought that his sister was particularly beautiful.
Objectively speaking, Chen Jingyi is of average height and build, with a small nose, round face, single eyelids, fair skin, and a clean, chubby appearance. Her originally shoulder-length, smooth black hair has been tied into a short ponytail.
Although she wasn't a stunning beauty, she was still a lovely girl from a modest family.
Rather than saying "pretty," it's more accurate to say she's quite cute.
In addition, she had excellent grades. Being a clean and good student always has a natural appeal in high school, making her especially likable.
"…Can."
The boy wanted to say something more.
But Shen Jingyi didn't listen; she walked straight toward Lu Yibei.
Two of her friends followed behind her and whispered to her:
"You're refusing again?"
"How many times have you rejected him? You don't even like Han Zhe, your standards are really high..."
"Girls who like Han Zhe will cry when they see this scene."
"Don't even mention it, I'm almost in tears..."
One of the friends lamented, "It's truly a case of some suffering from drought while others are flooded with water... If Han Zhe had been willing to hook me, I would have already..."
"What are you laughing at!"
Chen Jingyi swung her backpack and unleashed a lightning whirlwind slash, heading straight for Lu Yibei.
However, as the younger sister, Shen Jingyi was really powerless and weak.
The backpack that was swung at was immediately caught by her brother.
"If it's funny, why can't I laugh? Do you expect me to cry?" Lu Yibei raised an eyebrow.
"Where is Sister Qingqian?"
"You only care about your sister Qingqian, do you even care about me?"
"The trash should have been thrown away a long time ago."
The brother and sister started bickering, which was both unexpected and perfectly logical.
It was the first time that Chen Jingyi's two friends met Lu Yibei.
They looked at the tall, thin boy with surprise at first, and then with some restraint.
"...already?"
A friend teased another, gesturing for her to continue.
"It's been...it's been..."
Another friend couldn't continue.
…Huh? Who's this?
Even though she was wearing a hooded jacket, her looks were no less than Han Zhe's...
Well, as long as you don't go bald.
As Shen Jingyi turned around, intending to introduce him to her two friends, she saw that the boy was still there.
Their eyes met.
The boy glanced at Lu Yibei again, and the latter nodded casually.
The boy nodded politely, then turned and left looking lost.
"My brother."
The calming instrument simply said to its two friends.
"What does 'brother' mean...?"
“My dear brother!” Shen Jingyi emphasized.
Lu Yibei, however, was disgusted:
"Who's your real brother? You're just a cousin at most!"
Their words at least prove that blood is thicker than water.
The two girls nodded at the same time, looked at Shen Jingyi, then at Lu Yibei, and became even more reserved when they saw Lu Yibei.
One person whispered:
"It's that one..."
Chen Jingyi said sadly, "Yes, that's the one!"
"Is he Jiang Da's older brother??" The two were shocked.
Lu Yibei smiled: "That's right."
The two stared at Lu Yibei for a long time before looking at each other and seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Shen Jingyi rarely mentioned "Brother Jiang" to them.
So it feels very distant.
In their fantasies, the kind of good student older brother who attends Jiangnan University should be someone who wears thick glasses, is old-fashioned, and, if not ugly, is at least of average appearance.
The two girls couldn't help but sigh, realizing how prevalent stereotypes are in this world...
No, a tranquilizer?
You have such a great older brother, yet you don't introduce him to these half-sisters?!
That's so disloyal!
"Oh, it's my brother..."
When Shen Jingyi saw that her two usually lively friends had suddenly become reserved and ladylike, even speaking to Lu Yibei in a high-pitched voice, one of them seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She sensed something was wrong.
I have a strong feeling that "I treat you as sisters, but you want to be my sisters-in-law."
Where is my sister-in-law?
Chen Jingyi's skill in switching between addressing Ji Qingqian was unparalleled.
"Oh, there..."
Lu Yibei casually pointed, and Ji Qingqian happened to be walking over. He looked at his expressionless girlfriend and smiled gently: "Isn't she here?"
"Sister Qingqian—"
Shen Jingyi quickly ran to Ji Qingqian's side and affectionately took her hand.
Then, he brought her to her scoundrel brother's side:
“This is my sister-in-law…she’s also a student at Jiang University.”
She glanced at the patterns on her brother and sister-in-law's hoodies... They were even wearing matching outfits! It was getting a little sickening, but at least it made their identities clearer, so she didn't have to say anything more.
If the two girls were somewhat reserved when facing Lu Yibei, they became completely nervous when they saw Ji Qingqian.
This sister-in-law…
Hmm, she looks quite aloof, unlike her brother who still has a smile on his face.
She had a completely icy expression.
They seem difficult to get along with at first glance.
They were even a little scared... what if their sister-in-law found out about the wicked thoughts they had just had about their brother... would they be secretly killed afterward?
"This is my friend."
Shen Jingyi's introduction remained concise: "My sister-in-law is taking me out to eat, so I won't be coming with you..."
"good."
The two girls quickly nodded: "...Have a safe journey."
The "you" was addressed to Ji Qingqian. Looking at her icy face, he subconsciously became respectful.
"Um."
Ji Qingqian nodded to them.
