Chapter 123 What is my identity? What is your identity?
"You eat first. The first bite is always yours." The boy put the still warm egg waffle he had just received to his lips, blew on it, and fed it to the girl.
The girl smiled sweetly and shyly, took a small bite, and felt sweeter in her heart than an egg waffle.
"Is it delicious?" The boy's eyes were almost sparkling with stars. When he saw the girl nodded and said "hmm", his heart suddenly blossomed.
Why is my girlfriend so cute?!
"It's so delicious, why don't you treat me to some?"
A teasing voice came from behind. The moment Meng Chenghong turned his head and saw Meng Anran, his expression turned pale with fear. He timidly called out, "Second sister, second brother-in-law..."
Didn't my second sister go abroad? Why is she here?
Tsk, if I had known, I would have asked my second sister’s schedule with my second brother-in-law before going out on a date.
What should I do if my sister catches me in a premature love relationship?
Waiting online! Urgent!
Meng Anran glanced at the girl protected by her brother with a half-smile, "Is this your girlfriend? Won't you introduce her?"
"Second sister..." Meng Chenghong tried to act coquettishly and tugged at Meng Anran's clothes, lowering her voice and saying, "You'll scare her like this."
Meng Anran tapped his forehead in frustration, "Could you please be more responsible and introduce her to us openly?"
Meng Chenghong pursed his lips and asked, "You won't tell your parents about me?"
He knew very well that his parents had no right to interfere with his second sister's premature love affair, but if he dared to do so, he would definitely be punished by having a blow on his head.
Qin Mu smiled leisurely and said, "Your second sister doesn't like to tell tales."
Meng Chenghong hesitated for a moment, cleared his throat, put his arm around the girl's shoulders, and introduced her, "This is my girlfriend, Su Qingli, a member of the Chinese painting group in the calligraphy and painting class."
Su Qingli had a sweet, round face, like a cute, well-behaved, and non-aggressive kitten. She clutched her hands together and nervously but politely whispered, "Second sister, second brother-in-law."
"Hello." Meng Anran's smile softened, as if she was afraid of scaring the little kitten. "How old are you this year? Where do you go to school?"
"Xiaohong and I are of the same age, but in the same school but different classes." Su Qingli's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
She felt that the sister in front of her looked very elegant and imposing. Although she was smiling, she felt a sense of oppression from a superior for no reason.
Seeing that she was a little scared, Meng Anran stopped asking questions and turned to look at Meng Chenghong, "You, come with me."
She grabbed Meng Chenghong's sleeve and dragged him away.
Su Qingli stared blankly at Meng Chenghong being dragged away with her doe eyes. This second sister was indeed so scary!
She stole another glance at the boy still standing in front of her, and happened to see him looking at her. The moment their eyes met, she trembled all over and lowered her head immediately.
My second brother-in-law is so handsome and seems easier to talk to than my second sister. He should be... not fierce, right?
Noticing that she was overthinking and her palms were sweating with nervousness, Qin Mu chuckled and said, "Don't worry, his second sister is very gentle."
Su Qingli pursed her lips and nodded silently.
You're my girlfriend, so of course you say she's gentle!
On the other side, Meng Anran hooked her brother's arm and whispered crickets to Su Qingli with her back to him.
"You kid, you're only in the second grade and you dare to secretly date a girlfriend?" Meng Anran's tone was smiling, but it was creepy.
Meng Chenghong argued: "Second sister, didn't you start dating Brother Mu before you even graduated from high school? I just started dating four years earlier than you."
Meng Anran glanced away from him. "What are my grades? What are your grades? What is my identity? What is your identity? If you have the ability to control your future, I won't stop you from falling in love."
"I have!" Meng Chenghong said quickly. After meeting his second sister's sharp gaze, his momentum instantly dropped. "I'm learning Chinese painting from my master. When I win the gold medal in the National Calligraphy Competition, I'll be considered an accomplished person, right?"
"Have you got it now?"
“…It hasn’t even started yet.”
"The National Calligraphy Competition is held every four years. The next one is still a year and a half away. Do you think you have what it takes to win the gold medal?"
Meng Chenghong patted his chest and said, "Of course! I will definitely bring you a trophy!"
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you for now. If you don't win the gold medal, I'll tell my parents about your premature love affair. If you do win, I won't object to you dating, and even if you get caught one day, I'll still speak up for you."
"Deal!" Meng Chenghong agreed without hesitation.
Meng Anran hasn't felt like she was lying to a child in a long time.
How easy is it to win the gold medal in the National Calligraphy Competition?
Meng Chenghong is indeed very talented, but there are many talented people in the world. There are many calligraphy masters in China, and the national competition is a competition among these masters.
They are equally talented, and have decades more experience than Meng Chenghong. It is a pipe dream for Meng Chenghong to win the gold medal.
However, this child has always won championships in youth competitions, and Mr. Wu has always used encouraging education.
Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Let him feel the atmosphere of the national competition and it would be good to experience some setbacks.
"Is the money enough?" she asked suddenly.
Meng Chenghong was stunned for a moment, then nodded after realizing what was happening. "That's enough, Second Sister, stop asking me questions like this. I'm not a child anymore."
Meng Anran was silent. In fact, she didn't quite know how to express her love. Apart from helping her family out, she only had money.
I can't repay my parents, brothers and sisters with money, so I can only give my younger brother more pocket money.
"Dating requires capital. You can't let girls pay on dates. You should also give them small gifts from time to time. How can your prize money from the competition be enough?" Meng Anran took out his phone and transferred 2,000 yuan to his brother. "Don't play too late, and remember to send her home safely."
Meng Chenghong saw the transfer record and hugged Meng Anran, "Second sister, you are so good to me!"
In the past, he tried hard to integrate his second sister into the family, but it was always like a river between them. Although his second sister was very nice to him, she was more like a cousin than a biological sister.
Now she is becoming more and more like his real sister. She will blame him for his mistakes, teach him some lessons, and is always worried about his financial difficulties. She asks him from time to time if he has enough money.
Every time his second sister lectured him, he felt: Oh, my second sister really cares about me. She doesn’t want me to go astray because she cares about me.
"That's enough." Meng Anran pushed him away uncomfortably, realizing that her younger brother had become more flattering and obedient after growing up, and was not at all as sensible as he was five years ago.
However, she never thought that "sensible" was a compliment. Her brother lived more and more freely and easily, and became more and more unique in his personality.
This is the meaning of growth.
Her personality was basically formed before she returned to the Meng family.
