On Sheng Ning’an’s first day staying in the dormitory, her family, both young and old, were worried about her, taking turns to call her well into the night.
This made Tian Yu and the others extremely envious.
"Your family must really love you." At most, their own parents would make a call, but not like her, where one call followed another, and each call was separate, as if they were competing for her attention, with no one falling behind.
"Yes!" Sheng Ning’an nodded, "My family is really great, and they all love me very much."
Just as she finished speaking, the phone rang again.
"Who’s it from this time?" She had already taken calls from Grandpa, Grandma, Maternal Grandfather, Maternal Grandmother, Dad, Mom, and even a Young Uncle. Did the Sheng Family have other people?
"My little brother." Ning’an answered smiling as she pressed the answer button.
"Sis, how was your first day at school? Do you want me to come and see you tomorrow? I’ve just transferred all my pocket money for the month to you—make sure to check your account, and don’t hesitate to spend money at school," the boy’s slightly husky voice came from the other end of the phone.
Sheng Ning’an: "Your sister is still in Jing City, I can go home at any time. Keep your pocket money for yourself, your sister doesn’t lack money."
"Then do you need me to bring you anything?"
"No need. If I’m missing anything, Mom and Young Uncle will bring it to me. You just focus on your studies."
"Alright then, will you be coming home this weekend?"
"We’ll see. I’ll go if I have time."
After hanging up, Tian Yu asked with a curious expression, "How old is your brother now?"
"So he must be in middle school, right? How are his grades?"
It seemed like everyone in her family was smart, except for her.
"I’m so jealous of you." The family relations were harmonious.
She also had an older brother, but the relationship between the siblings was just average. Her brother was also five years older than her, but they barely talked to each other, let alone shared their pocket money with her.
The one who was the most jealous was Shi Yue. Everyone had a brother, but while others’ brothers were obedient and thoughtful, caring for their sisters, her own brother would only steal her belongings.
Her parents were the same, always favoring her brother.
What was she then? She was nothing! If it weren’t for her good grades, for getting into university and earning face for the family, making them believe she could make money and contribute to the family in the future, she probably wouldn’t even exist in their eyes.
Shi Yue was filled with hatred, hating why she had to be born into such a family.
Why did she have to have such parents?
And her brother too, a fool who was good for nothing other than fighting with her over possessions!
As soon as she was able, she was determined to escape that home at the first chance.
Nobody was going to suck her dry.
Sheng Ning’an was unaware that just by answering a few phone calls, she had once again ignited jealousy in others, but of course, even if she had known, she wouldn’t have cared.
The next day, there was a military training mobilization meeting in the morning, and then military training officially started in the afternoon, lasting for two weeks.
Just on the first day, Ning An encountered quite a few boys who came over to chat and ask for her WeChat.
Even photos of her military training went viral on the school forum on the very first day.
Soon, the entire school knew that among the new students, there was a great beauty named Sheng Ning’an.
Although in today’s society, with advanced networks, everyone can see all sorts of beauties online every day.
But Ning’an’s beauty still attracted many people.
After all, those beauties online are seen through screens, through beauty filters—no one knows what the person behind the camera truly looks like.
But Sheng Ning’an was different; she was a true, unfiltered beauty, even barefaced.
Every smile, every frown, was a view to be admired.
This made a number of boys’ hearts flutter.
