My younger brothers are so fierce!!! I'm clearly the eldest brother!

"Is Xiao Ning on holiday today?" Jiang Guanqing nestled on the sofa, her cheeks flushed and her eyes moist.

"Yes, I'll be back tonight."

Jiang Yan saw through Jiang Guanqing's thoughts and refused first, "Your fever hasn't gone down yet, don't even think about picking him up. He's a grown man, he'll come back on his own."

Last night, when Jiang Guanqing was sleeping, one of the windows in his room was left open. Jiang Yan went to Jiang Guanqing's room in the middle of the night for a "routine check" and only discovered it when she felt that the room temperature was a bit low.

Jiang Yan was afraid that Jiang Guanqing would get a fever, so she didn't dare to sleep. Sure enough, her temperature rose soon afterward.

Jiang Guanqing straightened up. "But I want to go, so I'll just sit in the car and not go out."

"No." Jiang Yan was still a little scared. What if he hadn't gone to Jiang Guanqing's room?

"Xiao Yan~" Jiang Guanqing called out, his voice trailing off because of the fever, sounding like he was pleading, "Go on, go on."

Jiang Yan said helplessly, "Go, but you can't get out of the car."

"it is good."

4:30 PM

"Cough, cough, cough." Jiang Guanqing's throat was a little itchy, so he turned his head away and covered his mouth, coughing softly.

Jiang Yan frowned deeply. He wasn't coughing in the morning, but started coughing after taking a nap after lunch.

"Brother, come on, have some warm water boiled with dried tangerine peel."

Jiang Guanqing took a small sip from Jiang Yan's hand, then frowned and pushed Jiang Yan's hand away.

"Drink some more. Other drinks like ginger, scallion, and brown sugar water and steamed garlic water taste even worse."

Jiang Guanqing's eyes widened, and he reluctantly took two more sips.

"Should we head out to pick up Xiaoning?"

Jiang Yan glanced out the window; it was raining heavily. He advised, "Brother, why don't you not go? Let Xiao Si pick you up."

"But you already promised me." Jiang Guanqing was unhappy.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to agree, and asked the driver to turn on the car's air conditioning beforehand, while she went upstairs to get her own big coat.

"Reach out and put this on too."

"No, I'm already wearing so many layers." Jiang Guanqing was wearing a thermal base layer underneath, a cashmere sweater in the middle, and a thick down jacket on top. Now he had to wear something else.

Jiang Guanqing's hands aren't even warm yet. He was just sitting on the sofa wrapped in a blanket. How can he go out without wearing one?

"Fine, you're not allowed to go if you don't wear it."

"You..." Jiang Guanqing clenched his fist. Xiao Yan is so annoying, a big liar.

Jiang Guanqing endured for a minute before finally giving in, "Fine, I'll wear it, okay?" Ugh, you bad boy, you brat.

Wearing an overcoat, fortunately Jiang Yan is eight centimeters taller than Jiang Guanqing, so it fits perfectly.

Jiang Guanqing was so wrapped up that he couldn't even put his arms down, looking like a bloated silkworm cocoon. "...I look like a rice dumpling now."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan, who had been suppressing her feelings since last night, suddenly relaxed. She smiled, zipped up her jacket, found a scarf and wrapped it around Jiang Guanqing's neck several times, and finally put a cashmere hat on Jiang Guanqing's head.

Jiang Guanqing laboriously raised his arm and clumsily pulled the hat covering his eyes up a little higher. "You have to wear the same amount as me!"

Jiang Yan pinched the two fluffy balls hanging from the brim of his hat and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Big brother, do you know what you look like right now? Like a penguin."

Jiang Guanqing's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to punch Jiang Yan twice in the stomach. The force was so light that Jiang Yan almost didn't feel it.

"Cough cough, cough cough."

Upon hearing Jiang Guanqing's cough, Jiang Yan's smile vanished instantly, replaced by worry in her eyes.

Given Jiang Guanqing's current physical condition, Jiang Yan would have preferred to keep him in the hospital for two days if Jiang Guanqing hadn't been unwilling.

"Let's go, let's go."

Jiang Guanqing, carrying the snacks he had prepared beforehand, was the first to walk out.

Jiang Yan sent a message to Jiang Ning, telling her to leave the school immediately after the exam.

Jiang Guanqing and Jiang Yan arrived a bit early, at 5:17, while Jiang Ning and the others wouldn't finish their exams until 5:35.

"Are you cold?" Jiang Yan asked Jiang Guanqing every two minutes.

"It's not cold."

Jiang Guanqing stared at the gate of Jingbei No.1 Middle School outside the window, his eyes full of anticipation.

In those ten minutes or so, Jiang Yan berated Jiang Ning relentlessly, saying that if she couldn't write, she shouldn't have written; why didn't she hand in her paper earlier?

knock knock knock

Suddenly someone knocked on the car window, and Fu Chengyan was standing outside the car.

Jiang Guanqing wanted to roll down the car window, but before his finger could touch the button, Jiang Yan grabbed it with lightning speed.

"What are you doing? Don't open the window," Jiang Yan warned sternly.

"I'll go out and talk to him. Brother, you stay in the car and don't open the window or get out."

"oh."

Jiang Guanqing withdrew her hand and buried her face in her scarf, leaving only her slightly wet eyes showing.

Jiang Yan quickly got out of the car, afraid that the car's heating would be lost.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car was too great. Jiang Yan was startled by the cold wind blowing in her face and put her hands in her pockets.

Fu Chengyan sized up Jiang Yan. "You're Guan Qing's younger brother, Jiang Yan, right?"

Jiang Yan nodded. "Is there something you need?"

"Nothing much, just happened to run into you and wanted to say hello. It's been a while since we last met."

Fu Chengyan hadn't seen Jiang Guanqing for a long time. Usually, when he sent messages to Jiang Guanqing, she would always be unusually distant. Today, he happened to run into her and came over to make his presence known.

Jiang Yan was speechless. Why bother greeting him in this freezing weather? "My brother is sick and can't be exposed to the cold wind. Please forgive him."

Fu Chengyan frowned. "You're sick. Is it serious?"

"It's alright." Jiang Yan inexplicably disliked Fu Chengyan and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Then I won't bother you any longer." Fu Chengyan nodded slightly and turned to walk towards his car.

This afternoon, I took two exams, physics and chemistry. For the last one, chemistry, Jiang Ning finished the paper in 45 minutes. Because she couldn't hand in her paper early, she was so bored that she lay on the table and dozed off.

It wasn't until she handed in her exam paper and got her phone that Jiang Ning saw the message from Jiang Yan. She slung her bag over her shoulder and ran towards the school gate.

"Hey boss, where are you going? We need to go back to class to get our homework later..."

Jiang Ning ran past him, and Zhu Guangbai was stunned for a moment before hurriedly shouting.

Jiang Ning raised her hand and waved, without stopping.

My second brother is really something, why didn't he say so sooner? He has exams and won't see any news.

Jiang Ning ran outside with her head down. When she reached a corner, a girl rushed out from her blind spot.

Jiang Ning couldn't dodge in time and bumped into the girl's shoulder. His foot slipped, and he fell forward, his knees sinking into the snow. Ice shards poured into his pants, making Jiang Ning shiver. "Damn it."

The girl was knocked down, landing directly on her bottom, and then slid back half a meter. Her phone was flung two meters away and sank into the snow.

Jiang Ning snapped out of her daze and quickly scrambled to her feet, trying to help the girl who had fallen. "Are you alright?"

"It's alright."

"Holy shit!" Upon hearing this sound, Jiang Ning hurriedly withdrew her outstretched hand and took several steps back.

Damn, that voice sounds like that old witch, Nam Yoon-ah.
