H City is located in a tropical monsoon climate zone. Because the city is situated by the sea, it is moderated by the ocean climate year-round, with mild winters and cool summers. It is a very livable city.
September is still one of the hottest months of the year, and Ye Qingyan's T-shirt was soaked with sweat as she walked.
"My God, the sun!"
Ye Qingyan wished she could teleport directly to the cafeteria.
"Zhizhi!" Zhen Tian spotted the boy from afar. There was no way around it; among the group of people wearing blue and white school uniforms, he still stood out from the crowd, tall and straight, his black hair fluttering in the wind, seemingly unaffected by the hot weather, cool and aloof.
"Don't run away." Upon hearing this, Ji Yuzhi took two steps forward and reached out his hands to help Zhen Tian, who was rushing towards him.
After Ji Yuzhi helped her steady, Ye Qingyan also walked up to her.
"Student Ye."
"Hello." Ye Qingyan nodded to him.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were here too." Ji Yuzhi handed Zhen Tian a bottle of chilled Weikezi.
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Ye Qingyan said nonchalantly.
"Here, this is for you." Zhen Tian handed the milk to Ye Qingyan: "Just buy me more, Zhizhi."
"good."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Ye Qingyan took a deep breath: "It's so refreshing!"
Ji Yuzhi led Zhen Tian into the cafeteria.
"Little sister."
"younger sister."
Two male voices drew attention.
“Eh…” Zhen Tian glanced at Ji Yuzhi.
He smiled at her and said, "Take your classmate with you. I'll buy you some milk."
"Uh-huh."
Zhen Tian led Ye Qingyan over.
"My lovely little sister, have you missed your brother?" Lu Lin gave Zhen Tian a big hug.
"Mmm..."
"Let go of me, it's so hot." Lu Yiran pulled Lu Lin away.
"Damn, these genes!" Ye Qingyan clicked her tongue from behind someone.
"Why are you all gathered together?" Zhen Tian pulled Ye Qingyan to sit down.
"Ta-da!"
Lu Lin waved his hands on the table: "Congratulations on starting school, little sister! I knew there was nothing to eat at this awful school, so I went out and bought some for you. How is it? It's all your favorite food."
"Don't be like your brother. He skipped class and ran away, and I caught him. He bought so much good food to please you because he was afraid I would tell on him." Lu Yiran pushed up his glasses.
"It doesn't matter, come on, let's eat." Lu Lin said with a grin.
"Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is my new good friend, Ye Qingyan." Zhen Tian took Ye Qingyan's hand and waved to her brothers: "Qingyan, this is my brother, he's a sophomore in high school."
Lu Lin waved cheekily at Ye Qingyan: "Hello, beautiful lady."
"Shut up, don't embarrass me." Lu Yiran kicked Lu Lin from the ground.
"This is my third brother. He and Zhizhi are in the same class and are in their senior year of high school."
"Hello." Lu Yiran nodded to Ye Qingyan.
"Hello, I'm Tian Tian's deskmate." Ye Qingyan nodded in agreement.
"Zhizhi! Why didn't you tell me my brothers were here?" Zhen Tian complained to the person who came in.
Ji Yuzhi pulled out the chair next to her, without answering her: "We don't have chocolate-flavored Mickey's anymore, only strawberry is left. I also bought you a Vita chocolate milk, see which one you want to drink?"
"Drink chocolate."
"Okay." Ji Yuzhi handed her the milk: "Keep this for this afternoon."
"Okay~" Zhen Tian put away the other bottle of strawberry milk.
"Alright, alright, everyone's here, let's eat. I'm starving, thank goodness I bought a lot." Lu Lin picked up his chopsticks and first put a small piece of spicy crab into Zhen Tian's bowl.
"Sweetie, eat up! This piece is the fattest, your brother has been eyeing it for ages."
"Thank you, sir." Zhen Tian smiled as she popped a crab into her mouth. "It's delicious."
"Of course it's delicious. This meal cost the young man two days' worth of living expenses."
"Serves you right!" Lu Yiran complained, then broke open a pair of disposable chopsticks and handed them to Ye Qingyan. "Don't be shy, Ye Qingyan, eat more."
"OK."
"How's the new class?" Lu Yiran asked.
"That's good," Zhen Tian said after thinking for a moment.
Ye Qingyan remained silent to the side.
"Okay, if you need anything, go find your brother. Never mind. You can talk to me, or if you feel uncomfortable talking to your brothers, just ask Yuzhi," Lu Yiran instructed.
"Okay."
"Hey, why is it over when it comes to me?" Lu Lin protested. "Also, what can't you say to your brother? You're not allowed to talk to this kid."
Lu Lin pointed at Ji Yuzhi with his chopsticks.
But Ji Yuzhi immediately dismissed the question: "If I wanted to talk to you, would you always be at school instead of playing games?"
"Hmph, even if I'm not around, I can't go looking for a man with ill intentions like you," Lu Lin muttered under his breath.
"Eat your food and ignore him."
Lu Yiran and Ji Yuzhi took turns serving food to Zhen Tian.
After lunch, Zhen Tian felt so full she was about to throw up.
After questioning Zhen Tian about her class and teachers for a while, the older brothers finally felt relieved. Lu Yiran then took Zhen Tian to the supermarket and bought her a bunch of snacks.
“I know you like to hoard these things. But eat less of them, or you’ll finish them all in one day,” Lu Yiran admonished.
"I know," Zhen Tian said, bowing her head as she listened to the instruction.
"Share it with your friend."
"I know, I know."
"Alright, go to class."
"Oh, then we're off. Goodbye, Third Brother; Goodbye, Little Brother; Goodbye, Zhizhi."
"Um."
The three boys nodded, and watching her figure disappear into the teaching building, they walked in different directions.
Miler hid in the crowd, looking at this face thoughtfully.
Ye Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief after entering the teaching building.
"My god, your brothers are a bit scary." Ye Qingyan was also asked some questions during her meal. She blurted out quite a lot, only realizing afterwards that her brothers were trying to trick her into revealing information.
"I'm sorry, my brothers are just prone to overreacting." Zhen Tian blinked, looking at her with a hint of guilt.
"It's alright, I understand. After all, I have a troublesome younger sister like you." Ye Qingyan said with deep feeling.
"No, you know, don't you? My illness..."
"Ah!" Ye Qingyan had really forgotten, after all, Zhen Tian looked no different from an ordinary person: "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I don't mind, it's just that my brothers are always like this." Zhen Tian shrugged.
Ye Qingyan and she each carried one of the eco-friendly bags and walked upstairs.
"I'm actually quite envious of you," Ye Qingyan sighed. "Although your brothers are a bit overly concerned about you, they genuinely love you. Unlike me, my siblings and I don't get along well. It's a miracle if we don't fight when we meet."
“They will be your brothers too from now on,” Zhen Tian comforted her earnestly.
"How can that be the same?" Ye Qingyan chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm not sad at all, just a little sentimental."
"Shall we go upstairs and share the snacks?" Zhen Tian suggested.
"I can eat a lot."
"Then I won't give it to you..."
"no!"
