Song Meilian’s eyes were fixed on the cake box for a few seconds before she took it with both hands.”Thank you,” he said.
“i didn’t prepare a meeting gift, but i’ll treat everyone to a meal in two days.”
“meilian, i’m a little embarrassed to hear you say that. i didn’t prepare anything. only shi yan and chang ru prepared it.”
Shi Yan prepared desserts for them while Chang ru brought them the local specialties of her hometown.
as ren kexin spoke, shi yan passed the pastries to her and chang ru.
after thanking them, ren kexin took it and said with a smile,”meilian said that she would treat everyone to a meal. shi yan and chang ru brought gifts. if i say that i’m treating everyone to a meal or buying gifts for everyone, it would seem very insincere.” how about this, i’ll invite you to my house during the national day holiday. I’m not a local, my home is in the South City. Our town is an ancient town with good scenery.”
Jiangnan ancient town, misty rain village.
ren kexin’s gaze fell on shi yan as she spoke.
He felt that Shi Yan should go to the small town where her family lived. The ancient beauties in the ancient town would be a good match.
ren kexin then looked at jiang rui, who was sitting there, ” “jiang rui, if you have time, you can go and play with us.”
“thank you. if you have such arrangements, i will definitely follow. i’ve heard that the tourism industry in the south city has been developing very well in the past few years. i’ve wanted to go there for a long time, but i never had the chance.”
“then it’s a deal. if you guys don’t have any other arrangements, come to my house to play!”
chang ru opened the pastry that shi yan had given her and took a bite. her eyes lit up.
After eating the delicious food, she was in a good mood, and her tone of voice became lighter. ” sure, my house is far away anyway. i’m not going home for national day. ”
“I’m not sure if there are any other arrangements,” song Meilian also expressed her opinion.
Shi Yan opened the cabinet to get her clothes. She turned around and smiled.”I’m not sure, but I should be able to go.”
” there’s no hurry. school starts tomorrow. there’s still a month. we’ll talk about it then. ” ren kexin waved her hand nonchalantly.
Seeing that Shi Yan was holding a set of clothes in her hands, not pajamas but a white t-shirt and black pants, and a casual jacket, Ren Kexin couldn’t help but ask, ” “shi yan, are you still going out?”
yes, we just reported to school today and are not familiar with the school. It’s still early, so Rui ‘er and I plan to walk around and familiarize ourselves with the environment.
“Do you guys want to come?” he asked after a pause.
“Let’s go together. I don’t have anything to do anyway.”
As Ren Kexin spoke, she asked song Meilian and Chang ru, ” “what about you guys? Want to go shopping together? although i came two days earlier, to be honest, i’ve been busy buying things for the past two days and haven’t had the time to properly shop around the new school.”
“Go!” Chang ru ate her cake and replied happily.
song meilian turned on her laptop and turned around.”I’m fine with anything.”
“then you guys can continue chatting. i’ll go and change my clothes.” shi yan smiled.
“rui ‘er, if you’re bored, there’s a book on the table,” she said, looking at jiang rui.
jiang rui shook her head like a rattle drum. ” no, no, no. it’s rare that my brother isn’t watching me read. yan, let me relax for two days. i’ve already decided when i left home that i won’t touch any books during the military training except for tidying up! ”
“Go and change your clothes. Don’t worry about me.”
shi yan couldn’t help but smile when she saw her look of fear and avoidance.”then give me a few minutes.”
she took the clothes and went to the bathroom.
she went to the bathroom to change her clothes while chang ru continued to eat her cake, scrolling through her phone while eating. song meilian turned on the computer and seemed to be browsing a web page. she didn’t look closely, so he didn’t know what web page she was browsing. Ren Kexin didn’t do anything. She just moved a stool over and sat beside Jiang Rui, chatting with her.
the general idea was to ask where jiang rui was from, why she had chosen haicheng university, and how she had met shi yan. these were all very common topics.
jiang rui was also a talkative person. the two of them got along very well and became familiar with each other after a while.
however, jiang rui still knew her limits. she only said that shi yan was a junior that her grandmother liked. her grandmother had mentioned shi yan many times. this time, shi yan had come to haicheng and stayed with them for a few days. it was only then that she got to know shi yan.
as such, shi yan’s three roommates knew that jiang rui was a local and that shi yan was not. however, shi yan and jiang rui had a very good relationship. it was not because of the politeness and friendliness of an elder who introduced them to each other. they really felt like good friends.
” jiang rui, i heard you mention your brother earlier. do you still have an older brother? ”
“Yes.”
” i’m so envious. i’m an only child, and i’ve been dreaming of having an older brother. ”
ren kexin looked envious.
jiang rui didn’t say that it was good to have an older brother who was always in charge of everything, because she had always been glad that she had an older brother. she never hated the way he controlled her. in her opinion, she was indeed envious of having such a good brother, so she had nothing to deny.
he only said,”this kind of thing can’t be forced. besides, there are no benefits to having a brother.”
“That’s true, but I still envy you! But I just heard you say that your brother seems to be very strict with you?”
“that’s right, i’ve never looked for a tutor. it was basically my brother who personally tutored me. when i was in junior high school, my brother happened to be in college. every night, he would video-call me and watch me read and do homework. when i was in high school, my brother graduated from college and came back. he kept an eye on me every day. that period of time was simply my nightmare.”
although she said so, jiang rui did not show any signs of displeasure or impatience.
From her expression, it could be seen that she had a good relationship with her brother. Although she was a little grumbling about her brother’s oppression of her, she did not show the slightest bit of displeasure or impatience.
“But if my brother didn’t keep an eye on me, I wouldn’t have been able to get such a low score in the college entrance examination.”
“I can see that you and your brother are very close. I’m envious again.”
Jiang Rui smiled.
” you said that your brother personally tutored you in high school, ” ren kexin said. ” isn’t your brother’s academic performance very good? ”
At the mention of Jiang Sheng, Jiang Rui seemed very willing to talk more.
she said proudly, ” yes, my brother’s academic performance is very good. he was the top scorer in the science college entrance examination in his batch. he studied at jingdu university and had a master’s degree and a phd. ”
ren kexin,”yingluo.”
“is your brother that powerful?”
She had guessed that her brother’s academic performance would be very good, but she didn’t expect it to be so good!
Even song Meilian and Chang ru looked over at Jiang Rui, clearly shocked.
jiang rui smiled. her brother had always been very capable. he had only managed to get a master’s or a phd from the capital university when he had started to dabble in the family business.
Her brother had spent more time in Haicheng than in Jingdu when he was in college.
“he’s amazing, but he’s too strict with me.”
“If I had such an outstanding brother, I’d be happy to be strict with me! Rui ‘er, you don’t know this, but I was lucky to be able to get into Shanghai University. My score was just right on the admission mark for my major, and I almost missed out on getting into Shanghai University. You have no idea how much I envy you for having such an amazing brother.”
As they chatted, Ren Kexin’s address of Jiang Rui changed from ” Jiang Rui ” to ” Jiang Rui ” and now to ” Rui ‘er. the progress was very fast.
“rui ‘er, you’re so pretty, i’m sure your brother’s looks won’t be bad either. handsome and talented boys are popular with girls. your brother has a lot of suitors, right?”
Jiang Rui was stunned.
