Su Qing proceeded to the accountant’s office to settle the fees.
Eventually, the two sisters exited the office together, with Su Xue carrying a hefty stack of textbooks. After collecting their books, they navigated to their designated dorms. The school had already made arrangements, and finding their dormitory was as simple as checking the bulletin board.
Upon reaching the board, Cao Meihua was engrossed in patiently advising her younger brother.
“Why stay in the dormitory? Just come to my place. If you find me annoying, you can stay at our dad’s house in the county town. I’ll bring you food.”
Cao Meihua was genuinely concerned about her brother staying in the dormitory. She had just visited one, and to her disbelief, a small room with bunk beds had to accommodate six people. Her brother, having led a
comfortable life, didn’t even know how to wash his socks.
“It’s okay. I’ll stay in the dormitory.”
“Do you know how to wash socks? Or do laundry?”
“I can learn.”
Cao Meihua regarded her determined brother suspiciously. “Brother, are you falling in love with that girl?”
Cao Jun blushed. “No, sister. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“You’re blushing.”
“Impossible, how could my face be red?” Cao Jun denied it. Spotting Su Xue and her sister approaching, he swiftly left his sister and hurried over. “Xuexue, let me help you with that.”
Su Xue looked at Cao Jun for a moment. “Okay,” she said, handing him the books she carried.
Cao Jun joyfully embraced the thick stack of books, as if he held a treasure chest. Cao Meihua was stunned, feeling like her brother had been spirited away. Wait a minute… Isn’t that Su Qing? The Su sisters?
“Sis, why aren’t you back yet?” CaoJun, noticing his sister lingering, wanted to shoo her away. “Sis, you should go back! Wasn’t the office very busy? I can handle it alone.”
“Haha!” Cao Meihua, infuriated, almost wanted to strike Su Xue. Her eyes remained fixed on Su Xue’s face, with a tinge of scrutiny.
However, Su Xue’s behaviour left Cao Meihua conflicted. The young girl exuded a small but powerful aura, meeting her gaze boldly.
While admiring Su Xue’s composure, Cao Meihua was dissatisfied with the scrutiny in Su Xue’s eyes.
Su Xue’s gaze showed no signs of affection toward Cao Jun. Cao Meihua had been through this before, making her judgment precise. Su Xue’s eyes didn’t reflect the gaze of a lovestruck girl, not to mention one in the throes of a romantic crush. Pity befell her foolish younger brother, willing to sacrifice everything for unrequited love.
A cough from Su Qing interrupted Cao Meihua’s thoughts.
“Sister Cao,” Su Qing greeted with a smile, seemingly unfazed by Cao Meihua’s scrutiny. “So, Cao Jun is your younger brother. What a small world.”
“It’s fate. Your sisters are truly remarkable. Each of them is intelligent and beautiful,” Cao Meihua praised sincerely.
After a period of training, coupled with Su Wen’s intentional guidance, Su Qing was no longer the timid girl of the past. She conversed with Cao Meihua in an elegant and composed demeanour..
