Having such a sister, Xu Nian’an felt proud, but at the same time, he felt immense pressure. With such an outstanding sister, as a big brother, he would be embarrassed to call himself her brother if he were too inferior.
"Bro, you’re not lying to me, are you?" Xu Nianhua was somewhat surprised and said, "You’ve actually heard of my name in your school?"
Xu Nian’an said with pride, "My little sister isn’t just top in her exams, her looks are among the top too. You wouldn’t believe how many classmates secretly admire you and keep asking me if I know you. It’s honestly getting annoying."
Having such an exceptional sister gave him his own set of troubles as a brother.
She looked at Xu Nian’an skeptically, feeling that his words seemed a bit exaggerated.
Could her reputation really be that great?
"Nianhua, I can vouch for that." Pei Yining, who had been busy with the hotpot, suddenly raised her hand and said, "I have classmates at Medical University too, and indeed, they’ve been asking me about you."
"What’s there to ask about me?" Xu Nianhua felt it was inexplicable.
"You’re good at studies and pretty; why wouldn’t there be anything to inquire about? Everyone wants to see what this consistent top scorer looks like," Pei Yining said with a grin. These matters were indeed true; a few of her classmates had asked her about this, but she had always vaguely dismissed them.
Xu Nianhua was so good, but she was the sister-in-law she had internally chosen. How could she introduce her to someone else?
"Still just two eyes, a mouth, two hands, two feet. It’s not like she could have an extra head," Xu Nianhua casually said, disinterested in these matters and changed the subject: "Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Second brother, I have some good news for you."
Xu Nianhua said mysteriously, "Second brother, come on, guess what the good news is?"
"Did you rank first again?" was Xu Nian’an’s first thought. As soon as the words fell, he denied it himself: "You always rank first; surely you wouldn’t mention it just for that."
"Could it be that something good happened at mom and dad’s factory?" Xu Nian’an guessed.
"Big brother already got his driver’s license, and my sister-in-law just had Zhuangzhuang, so she couldn’t possibly be pregnant again, could she?"
Xu Nian’an thought through his whole family but still couldn’t figure it out.
Xu Nianhua pointed at herself, signaling Xu Nian’an to keep guessing.
Xu Nian’an looked uncertainly at her, then glanced at Pei Yining beside her. Remembering that he had previously noticed Pei Yicheng’s unusual interest in his little sister, his heart skipped a beat. He thought, could it be that my sister and Pei Yicheng have already made their relationship official?
"Second brother, you’re so silly!" Seeing his face change colors without guessing correctly, Xu Nianhua joyfully said, "I’ve got a job."
It wasn’t about confirming a relationship, and Xu Nian’an breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment, he stared at Xu Nianhua and asked, "You’re still a student, where did you get a job from?"
"It’s a weekend job, kind of a part-time thing," Xu Nianhua briefly explained her work at the Lou Fan factory. If it wasn’t for particularly urgent contracts, Xu Nianhua would usually spend both Saturday and Sunday in the factory, rather than bringing the work back to campus.
"This is the salary I earned last week, I’m giving you half," Xu Nianhua said with a grin, handing him an envelope.
When Xu Nian’an opened the envelope, he felt even more pressure. Even though he was the older brother, how could he accept money from his little sister?
