Xuezhu didn't tell Song Yanping anything. It was Song Yanping who went to the opposite door before she learned that Meng Yuning's college classmates came to visit.

That night, Song Yanping warmly invited Meng Yuning and his college classmates to come for supper.

She looked at Jiang Ying, who was graceful and decent in dining, with a smile, and her eyes were like her mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law and liked her no matter how she looked.

Jiang Ying was a little uncomfortable with seeing it, and pursed her lips and asked softly: "Auntie, why don't you eat food?"

Song Yanping came to her senses: "Oh, sorry, because it was the first time I saw Ningning bringing a girl home, and I was a little surprised."

Xuezhu, who was biting chopsticks on the side, thought silently in her heart that it was clearly this sister who came by herself.

"It wasn't him who brought me back, it was me who followed me with shamelessness," Jiang Ying quickly explained, "Auntie, don't get me wrong."

"That's not necessarily true," Song Yanping raised her eyebrows and looked at Meng Yuning, who had been eating quietly beside her, "Are you college classmates? Then you also studied finance?"

Jiang Ying nodded: "Well, Yu Ning and I are classmates."

"Meet the classmate..." Song Yanping asked, "The relationship should be very good, right?"

Jiang Ying nodded shyly and said, "It's okay, but my father likes Yu Ning very much and wants to recognize him as his son."

"Your father? Ningning has already visited your house to meet your father?" Song Yanping immediately said to Meng Yuning, "Why haven't you ever said such a big thing about Ningning?"

Meng Yuning said calmly: "Jiang Ying's father is a professor in our department, so I met her father."

"So?" Song Yanping asked Jiang Ying with her eyes again.

Jiang Ying nodded: "Yes."

"Then your father is a professor at Peking University? Then your family is a high-tech family? It's amazing. No wonder you can raise such a sensible and beautiful daughter. The words of a tiger father without a dog are really right."

Song Yanping did not hide her love and affirmation for Gaozhi's children.

After eating this meal, it was like a large-scale exchange between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Xuezhu was ignored by her mother from beginning to end, and she finally planned to go back to her room after dinner, but she was called by Song Yanping to share more experiences with Jiang Ying's sister.

"Jiang Ying, teach us Xiaozhu more. I am really worried about her study. I don't know why her physics grades are so I can't raise them any longer."

Xuezhu was extremely disgusted with her mother for keeping her physically bad things out and talking about them everywhere.

But she had no room for interruption, and she only hoped that the weekend would pass quickly in the past two days so that she could hide back to school.

"Xiaozhu is only in the first year of high school now, so there is no hurry," Jiang Ying said softly, "And Yu Ning mentioned to me that Xiaozhu is actually very smart and learns things very quickly. Science is a subject that tends to be logical thinking. Auntie, give Xiaozhu some time, I believe she will definitely learn well."

Song Yanping has always heard the words of outsiders the most and nodded and said, "I hope so."

Jiang Ying spoke for her, which made Xuezhu not disgusted with this sister, but she always had a faint resistance to her and was unwilling to get along with her more.

Meng Yuning helped Song Yanping wash dishes in the kitchen, and Xuezhu had to take Jiang Ying to visit her room at her mother's request.

Xuezhu returned home once a week, so the room was quite neat.

As soon as Jiang Ying entered, she was attracted by the various girls' little things in her room.

"Xiaozhu, you like dolls too," Jiang Ying was shocked by the row of dolls of all sizes placed in front of her bedside table. "Have you collected so many?"

Xuezhu nodded: "Yes."

"Then you are very awesome," Jiang Ying picked up one of them, "I also have a chinchilla doll, I bought it when I was traveling to Japan."

She saw the chinchilla crystal balls placed on the Xuezhu desk cabinet and the witch ornaments riding a broom.

These cartoon characters are all made by the same person.

"Xiaozhu, do you like Hayao Miyazaki?" Jiang Ying asked.

"Um."

"I didn't expect that we actually have a common hobby," Jiang Ying came over and took her hand. "I have collected a lot of peripherals, as well as novels and comics, and I have the autographs of Mr. Hayao Miyazaki. I will bring them to you next time I come? OK?"

next time?

Will she come many times?

Then what is her identity when she comes next time? Meng Yuning’s girlfriend?

Xuezhu lowered her eyes, shook her head and said, "That's all very expensive, no need."

"It's okay, I have time to go to Japan again in the future."

"No need." Xue Zhu said.

Seeing that she was not interested, Jiang Ying pursed her lips and asked, "Xiaozhu? Am I a little annoyed to you?"

Xuezhu: "No."

"Actually, I like you very much. Although you are a bit loving the house and the silly, you feel very comfortable," Jiang Ying paused and said with a smile, "I'll tell you something fun. Once our class went out for a group picnic, and many people gathered together to play the truth and adventure. Your brother didn't want to play, so we insisted on pulling him to play because we were really curious about his affairs. Later, your brother lost the game, and we asked him about his first love. He said he had nothing to say about his first love. He didn't believe it at the time, and insisted that even girls who had a good impression and had not had time to develop--"

"Later he said, I've never had a relationship. The stories that happened before college were all unrelated to first love. We asked who it was related to, and he said it was related to the sister who lived opposite his house. I knew you at that time. He told you some of your childhood past and said that although you were not related to blood, in his heart, you have always been his dearest sister."

Jiang Ying tried to use some of her previous knowledge of Xuezhu to arouse Xuezhu's interest.

"So I really hope you like me too," she said, "I like Meng Yuning, this should be quite obvious, right?"

It can be seen that it is the same thing.

But she admitted that it was another matter.

I should like it very much, so I can express my feelings simply and strive to get close to the person I like. Even if I am a little shameless, it doesn’t matter, as long as I can get closer to him a little more.

Xuezhu felt that she was really scrupulous.

"Yeah," she nodded, "can tell."

"I really like him. If I had been before, I would never have thought that I would have been following a boy for four years. He was going to study for a master's degree in the second half of the year. I followed him again, but--" Jiang Ying smiled sweetly, "I will get the moon first when I get close to the water. I am confident that I can take him down in the UK."

At this time, the door was knocked, and the two of them looked at each other, Meng Yuning was standing at the door.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the hotel."

This was obviously said to Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying reluctantly held Xue Zhu's hand: "Ah? But I still want to chat with Xiao Zhu again."

"Xiaozhu still needs to do her homework, don't bother her."

"Okay," Jiang Ying nodded and said, "Then you go out first, and I'll say a few words to Xiaozhu at the end."

Meng Yuning nodded, turned around and left and returned the space to both of them.

Jiang Ying asked her to clean up: "Xiaozhu, can I keep my shameless words just now for my help to keep it a secret?"

"good."

She didn't know what to say except to say goodbye.

While standing in the living room to see Meng Yuning and Jiang Ying leave, Xuezhu stood there, her hands hiding behind her were twisted and tangled together.

"Auntie, let's go first."

"Okay, be careful on the way."

After changing the shoes, Meng Yuning straightened up, raised his eyes, and just spoke: "Xiaozhu--"

Before he could say anything afterwards, Xue Zhu, who had been lowering her head, suddenly raised her chin and smiled cheerfully at the two people at the door, with a cheerful tone: "By brother and sister."

Jiang Ying also laughed: "By bye."

Meng Yuning looked at her with a quiet look. She didn't know what she was thinking in her eyes. Her eyes were light, reflecting the cramped look of Xue Zhu.

“…I went in to do my homework.”

Xuezhu turned around and went back to the room, closed the door, and lay on the desk in a daze.

Later, she sneaked to the window and looked downstairs through the dusty glass.

From this angle, you can see downstairs. Meng Yuning and Jiang Ying were walking side by side under the dim street lights. Both of them were tall and beautiful. Their shadows were pulled long by the street lights. Later, Jiang Ying didn't know what to do, so she took a few steps back and hugged the air.

Xuezhu saw their shadows hugging each other.

She suddenly felt depressed and felt so uncomfortable.

Meng Yuning seemed to have not noticed it, but seeing that Jiang Ying was not standing side by side with her, she stopped and waited for her to catch up.

Jiang Ying hurried forward and walked side by side with him again.

What are they talking about?

What happened to study in the UK in the second half of the year? Or something in college? They have been friends for four years and are about the same age. They should have a lot to talk about, right?

There are so many things that Xue Zhu can guess just that can be listed.

But today, she met her brother for a long time, but what she said seemed unnecessary even if she had a hand.

The mood of the day went ups and downs, from leaping to dullness. Before, whenever she heard her parents say that Brother Ningning was back, she would leave her things without hesitation and run to the door to greet her. Even if he was returning to his own home, she would have to wait for him to go upstairs at the opposite door.

It turns out that he doesn't make her so happy every time he comes back.

That kind of simple and joyful mood has long changed.

All that remains is unspeakable.

"What are you doing when you don't do your homework?"
