Su Qing stood to the side, observing with a touch of envy.
During her school days, she faced the challenge of not having many friends due to her troublemaker sister. Today, she found herself registering and taking the exam alone.
“Who is this? Su Xue, aren’t you going to introduce me?” Cao Jun, stealing a glance at Su Qing, assumed she was Su Xue’s sister – a potential future sister-in-law. He recognized the importance of building a good relationship with them.
“Oh! I forgot about it,” Su Xue exclaimed. She quickly introduced Cao Jun, her classmate, explaining their shared hometown and plans to travel home during school holidays for safety and companionship.
Students from various villages in a specific region preferred journeying together for two main reasons: to provide mutual support and to ensure road safety.
Adopting a protective tone, Su Qing looked at Cao Jun as if he were a younger brother. “Hello, my name is Su Qing. From now on, my sister, Xue Xue, will rely on you for care,” she said.
“Second Sister, rest assured! I will take good care of Xue Xue.” Cao Jun, delighted at the responsibility, promised to take care of Xue Xue.
Feeling uncomfortable with the nickname, Su Xue nudged Cao Jun and said,
“Don’t simply call me Xuexue.”
Cao Jun, unaware of family dynamics, teased, “Does your family call you Xuexue?”
Silly.
Su Xue clarified the varied ways her sisters addressed her. “Okay! Then I’ll call you Xue Xue from now on!” It was much more affectionate than addressing Su
Xue as a classmate. Sheng Nian would surely be jealous when he found out. Cao Jun, eager to be closer, declared he would call her Xuexue, earning a laugh.
He still doesn’t know the nickname of Fifth Sister Su.
Then, the conversation shifted to Fifth Sister’s name change. “Oh, by the way, I heard that Fifth Sister changed her name?”
“Yes!”
“What is it called?” “Do you want to know?”
“No, I don’t want to know.”
“Second Sister, I knew where to register. I’ll take you there,” Cao Jun offered, having arrived early and sorted out the details.
“Thank you.”
“Second Sister, you’re too polite.”
Cao Jun’s charismatic and friendly nature quickly made him familiar with Su
Qing. He was warm and friendly, with a pair of brilliant starry eyes that made people find him delightful. Walking on the school grounds, he stood out from the crowd, towering over students of the same age with his significantly taller stature.
“Are you here to register alone?” Su Qing asked.
“No, my elder sister is here.”
“Why aren’t you and her together?”
“She’s in the principal’s office! The principal is my sister’s friend, so she went to visit. Let’s not bother about her. Let’s go register first.”
Cao Jun led them to the school’s security room to park their bicycles before guiding them to the registration office. He efficiently directed the sisters, drawing attention upon entering the registration office. Su Xue’s identity surprised a middle-aged man who rushed them to the front, causing protests
from mose waiting m line.
“Are you Su Xue?” inquired a middle-aged man, navigating through the crowd as he approached her. His gaze fixated on Su Xue for almost a minute before he spoke.
“Yes, that’s me. What’s the matter?”
“Please follow me for registration!” With that, he pushed through the crowd and headed straight to the front.
The individuals who had been patiently waiting in line couldn’t tolerate it any longer and voiced their protests one after another..
