As the two sisters walked into the classroom, a murmur of chatter arose around them: "Hey, did you see them? Our class's two beauties are here."
"This is really unexpected. Everyone in our class knows that Jiang Ranran is a bookworm. I didn't expect that she could actually play the piano. As for Jiang Qiqi, didn't she say that she played the piano very well? How come she didn't become Teacher Lin's student?"
"Why are you speaking such blunt truths? Didn't Jiang Qiqi also say that her grades were good? But compared to Jiang Ranran, she's far behind."
...
Jiang Qiqi heard all of this and her face turned very ugly.
"Jiang Ranran." Someone called out Lu Qingyan's name loudly from the other end: "I heard that you've been accepted as a student by Teacher Lin Meng'an, is that true?"
Lu Qingyan nodded: "Thank you for your concern, it's true."
The person who asked her was named Meng Rou, and she and her sisters had been classmates for many years.
Seeing Lu Qingyan's unusual demeanor, she sighed, "It's really rare that you didn't give the opportunity to your younger sister this time."
Lu Qingyan smiled and said, "I've given her many chances, but she hasn't made a name for herself. Since she can't do it, I'll take over myself."
Meng Rou scoffed, "I thought you'd figured things out on your own, but I didn't expect you to still want to spoil her. Being an older sister like this, you're practically the same as a biological mother."
Lu Qingyan suppressed a laugh, but still said humbly, "My family all said that I am the older sister, so it is only right for me to give way to her and protect her."
"Tch, doesn't she know how old she is now? She's not like she's still breastfeeding." Meng Rou really disliked Jiang Qiqi.
She was incredibly pretentious and affected, yet everyone in her family treated her like a treasure, carefully protecting her.
But she could only shoulder her responsibilities like the boys in the family, and never had the chance to act spoiled with others.
"Sis, can I copy your homework?" Before Lu Qingyan could even sit down, Jiang Qiqi rushed over and snatched Lu Qingyan's completed homework without saying a word.
Without going anywhere else, she lay down on the table next to her, took out her blank test papers, and started writing rapidly. Lu Qingyan secretly glanced in her direction. Jiang Qiqi's studies were average, but her handwriting was quite good. Even at such a fast pace, she could clearly recognize each character.
"Quick, quick, the teacher is coming!" The lookout at the door saw a familiar figure moving in the distance and quickly shouted to the noisy people in the classroom.
Jiang Qiqi immediately threw all of Lu Qingyan's homework over to her, then sat down properly in her seat with her own, as if nothing had happened.
The teacher who came in was carrying a stack of test papers. She smiled and said to the students below, "I don't know what you've been doing at home during this holiday. Did you do your work on the test papers I gave you? I won't check those. Now, finish this test paper. No copying, no whispering or discussing."
"Huh?!" The students were all listlessly slumped over their desks.
"Just do your test well. As long as you study hard during the holidays, you'll be fine."
Time slipped away quietly through their fingers while they were studying.
