Chapter 307 Standing Tall and Firm
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they came down from the third floor of the cafeteria, making a ruckus, and left either on foot or by bicycle.
As Shen Xuewei pushed her bicycle and walked and talked with the two sisters, Lü Songyun looked at the bracelet on Shen Xuewei's wrist and said:
"Weiwei, is this bracelet of yours a designer brand? It's shaped like a nail. I think I've seen it in a magazine before, but I can't remember where."
She called out to Lü Zhuyin, "Sister, is this the one we saw in the magazine?"
Lü Zhuyin leaned closer to Shen Xuewei's wrist, observed it carefully for a while, and nodded affirmatively.
"That's right, this is a high-end brand, it seems to cost tens of thousands of yuan."
The two exclaimed "Wow!" at the same time, "Weiwei, you're so rich!"
"So, the bag you were carrying before was real too?"
Their current appearance satisfied Shen Xuewei's vanity.
She slightly raised her chin and gave a haughty "hmm".
The two gave Shen Xuewei a thumbs up, "Awesome."
Lü Songyun pulled Shen Xuewei's hand, touched the bracelet on her wrist, and said enviously:
"I really love this bracelet. But it's so expensive, I can only admire it but can't afford it. I'm thinking that I must buy one like this after I start working."
Seeing that she really liked it, Shen Xuewei took off the bracelet.
"You like it, right? Although I can't give it to you, you can borrow it for a bit, and return it to me when we get to the dorm."
The two sisters and Shen Xuewei lived in the same dormitory building, and they usually gathered together downstairs for club activities.
Lü Songyun didn't stand on ceremony with Shen Xuewei. She took the bracelet, put it on her wrist, and looked at it.
"It looks so good. Sis, do you think it looks good on me?"
Lü Zhuyin agreed, "It looks good. Let's save up and buy it together later."
Having had her fill, Lü Songyun took off the bracelet and returned it to Shen Xuewei.
During the National Day holiday, we had a full eight-day break.
After the last class, Huang Xin and Su Shu left school early and went home, leaving only Shen Xuewei and Lu Jiayi in the dormitory.
Lu Jiayi had already filled all eight days with her schedule.
After staying in her dormitory and writing her novel for two days straight, Shen Xuewei got up early on the third day and took a taxi to the train station to pick someone up.
The train station was bustling with people, and the noise and chatter were incessant.
Shen Xuewei raised her wrist, looked at the time on her watch, and craned her neck to peer into the crowd.
At this point, the train has been at the station for ten minutes, and people should have come out by now, so why can't we see them?
She took her phone out of her pocket, dialed a number, and heard the phone ringing in the crowded throng.
The man, carrying a fully loaded backpack and other items in his hands, walked towards her, raised his hand in greeting, and shouted:
"Weiwei, I'm here!"
Shen Xuewei put away her phone and walked towards him.
"Brother, oh dear, I invited you to come to Shanghai for fun, why did you bring so much stuff? I told you to just buy it here."
Shen Xuewei tried to help him carry the bag in his hand, but he dodged her.
He scratched his head and laughed, "It's okay, I'm strong, I can carry it myself, it's a bit heavy."
The two walked out of the train station. Shen Xuewei hailed a taxi to take Shen Xuewen to the hotel and then to have dinner.
Shen Xuewen patted his bag. "Weiwei, why don't we go to your school first? I brought a lot of things for you. Besides one set of clothes for me, everything else in this bag is for you."
He gestured, "These are all good places to eat in Jinshi, and some were recommended by my friends. They all said they were delicious..."
He carefully explained the things he had brought to Shen Xuewei, his usual composure and silence giving way to a slightly more lively demeanor.
Seeing Shen Xuewen like this, and knowing that he had come all this way to bring her so much good food, Shen Xuewei was deeply moved.
"Okay, I'll definitely try it when I get back."
"Let's go to my school first. After we drop off our things, I'll show you around the school. Didn't you say you wanted to visit my school last time? You can see as much as you want later."
The two took a taxi back to Shenbei University.
Shen Xuewei put the things Shen Xuewen had brought her in the dormitory, and then took out her backpack, which was mostly empty, and gave it to Shen Xuewen.
The two left the dormitory area and walked slowly along the school grounds.
Shen Xuewen looked at everything at Shenbei University in amazement.
"Weiwei, your school is really big, it looks much bigger than our factory."
Shen Xuewei walked briskly beside him, her hands behind her back.
"Right? I told you our school is big."
After saying this, she stared at Shen Xuewen's profile and her face hardened.
“Brother, I told you to study hard before, but you didn’t listen; I asked you to come to Italy and study with me, but you didn’t want to.”
"It's one thing if you don't want to study. But I told you to stay away from your parents and not live with them, and you wouldn't listen..."
Shen Xuewen felt intimidated the moment he saw Shen Xuewei's stern face.
He couldn't understand why his younger sister, who was three years younger than him, spoke and acted like neither a younger sister nor his former homeroom teacher, nor like his nonexistent older sister...
Fearing that Shen Xuewei would continue to criticize him, he whispered in his defense:
"Weiwei, please stop talking about me. I really can't concentrate on my studies; I get dizzy just looking at books."
"You know perfectly well that I only got a low score on my high school entrance exam. My parents said I was a complete idiot, but my total score wasn't even 250..."
He was clearly a little embarrassed when he said the score.
"Tell me, with such low scores, what high school can I go to? What am I going to study with? Even if other schools dare to accept me, I wouldn't dare to go."
Shen Xuewei was speechless.
To be honest, she was stunned when she heard that her brother had scored so low.
She knew her brother's grades weren't good, but she never expected that his total score on the high school entrance exam wouldn't even reach 250...
Seeing that Shen Xuewei's expression was different, Shen Xuewen felt that he had lost face and quickly said:
"Besides, what you said earlier wasn't right. I didn't completely ignore everything you said. There was also... you told me not to tell my family about my salary, and I underreported it by five hundred."
“I’ve been quietly saving up this 500 yuan every month.”
He took a thick roll of money out of his pocket and handed it to Shen Xuewei.
"Hey, I brought some with me, here you go."
Shen Xuewei was taken aback. "It's your own money, you can keep it safe. Why are you giving it to me?"
Shen Xuewen couldn't hide his guilt. "Keep it. Your parents won't pay your tuition if you get into university. Although your aunt said she would support you through university, I'm afraid she might have a problem with you if you spend her money like this."
“I’ve saved up money for several years and it’s enough to support your college education. I’ll give you your tuition and living expenses from now on, so don’t ask your aunt for money.”
He was tall and thin, but at this moment he stood tall and upright.
He patted his chest and said, "You're my sister. If you call me 'brother' for even a day, I have to take on the responsibility of being your brother."
Shen Xuewei, who considered herself no longer a sentimental person, was still moved to tears by Shen Xuewen's words.
She sniffed and held back her tears.
Looking at the roll of money that Shen Xuewen handed her, she tried her best to compose herself.
"Okay, thanks, bro."
