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

It was getting late, and lunchtime was approaching. Jiang Guanqing and Jiang Ning each pushed a suitcase as they walked out.

"Xiao Ning, what do you want to eat for lunch? Big brother will take you to eat."

Jiang Ning was still savoring the scene of Fu Yushu apologizing to her, her lips still upturned. Hearing Jiang Guanqing's question, she thought for a moment and said, "Anything is fine, I'll follow your arrangements, brother."

Finally, Jiang Guanqing took Jiang Ning to a private restaurant near the school and asked for a quiet private room. The restaurant was tucked away on a street corner, with two osmanthus trees in front of it. The leaves had long since fallen, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the bare branches.

"Hello, what would you like to order?"

The waiter handed over the menu, which Jiang Guanqing took and then stuffed into Jiang Ning's hand. "Xiao Ning, you order."

Jiang Ning's fingertips traced across the menu. "I want this, this, this, and this, and a serving of fried chicken and fries too."

The waiter stood to one side, watching Jiang Ning point to the dishes and hurriedly taking notes.

Jiang Ning finished looking at the menu and handed it to Jiang Guanqing with satisfaction. "I'm done."

Jiang Guanqing glanced down at the menu, which showed no signs of selection, and sighed almost imperceptibly. "Xiao Ning, which dishes did you choose?"

"Hmm... sweet and sour pork ribs, garlic shrimp, steamed sea bass, golden soup with fish maw and chicken, and fried chicken." That should be it.

The waiter added, "We also have a braised beef brisket."

Jiang Ning remembered and immediately nodded, "Yes, there's also this."

There wasn't a single green vegetable.

Jiang Guanqing glanced at the menu. "Hello, another serving of baby bok choy in broth and baby squash, please."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Just as the waiter was about to leave, Jiang Guanqing suddenly spoke up, "Please wait a moment, and add two more ice creams."

Jiang Ning added from the side, "I want vanilla flavor."

After the waiter left, Jiang Ning moved his chair closer to Jiang Guanqing. "Big brother, how did you know I wanted ice cream?" It was winter, and he was afraid his brother wouldn't agree, so he hadn't ordered any.

Jiang Guanqing was silent for a moment. Actually, he didn't know Jiang Ning wanted to eat it; he ordered ice cream because he wanted to eat it himself. After the New Year, Jiang Yan did something, and part of his medication was changed to traditional Chinese medicine, which he had to drink after every meal.

Chinese medicine is not only bitter, but also has some strange taste and texture. Jiang Yan also does not allow him to eat sugar after drinking Chinese medicine, saying that it will affect the efficacy of the medicine.

Jiang Guanqing had been "suffering" for several days, and when he saw the ice cream on the menu, he couldn't resist ordering two servings.

Jiang Guanqing poured a cup of hot barley tea and pushed it in front of Jiang Ning, avoiding Jiang Ning's previous question, "Xiao Ning, did you know Fu Yushu before?"

Jiang Ning took a sip of tea, so hot that she stuck her tongue out to cool it down, and replied with a thick tongue, "I don't know him. What could I possibly have to do with him?"

Seeing that Jiang Ning was practically drooling, Jiang Guanqing quickly pulled out a few tissues and handed them over.

Jiang Ning wiped it haphazardly, "I just simply don't like Fu Yushu."

Why?

Why else? One is the school's most popular boy, and the other is the school's most bullied boy. One consistently ranks in the top three of the grade, while the other consistently ranks in the bottom three. The two are often compared.

Jiang Ning didn't care at first, but after overhearing others gossiping about it a few times, she instantly became unhappy.

What do you mean Fu Yushu completely surpasses him in every aspect, from family background and academic performance to looks? Putting family background and academic performance aside, how come his handsome face can't compare to Fu Yushu's? He's clearly more handsome!

Because of this, Jiang Ning lost her goodwill towards Fu Yushu. Later, Fu Yushu was always included in the student representatives' speeches at every flag-raising ceremony and opening ceremony.

Fu Yushu's readings were long and tedious, like a foot binding cloth. But that was bad enough. What Jiang Ning hated most was Fu Yushu's deadpan act. He stood on the stage with a slight upturn of his lips and a blank stare, as if he were the only conscious person in the world.

What's even worse is that every time Fu Yushu checks attendance, he not only checks at the school gate, but he also makes a special trip to the classroom to see if the student is there. If not, he deducts points, causing the student to be scolded by the strict teacher countless times.

It would be fine if every class watched it, but they only caught him watching it.

Jiang Ning could have eight hundred reasons to dislike Fu Yushu, but he didn't dare to tell Jiang Guanqing. He could only vaguely say, "I just don't like him." He, on the other hand, liked Fu Yushu. Every time he saw him, he wanted to punch him in the face.

Jiang Guanqing was silent for a moment, then reached out and ruffled Jiang Ning's hair. "Xiao Ning, can you stay away from Fu Yushu and Nan Yun'er from now on?"

Jiang Ning nodded vigorously, "I understand, big brother." He didn't want to get close to a madman and an old witch.

When the meal was halfway through, the waiter finally brought in two glass bowls. The milky white ice cream scoops were drizzled with chocolate sauce, served on a crispy cone, and garnished with two red cherries.

Jiang Ning was tired of eating meat, so she took the bowl, scooped up a big spoonful and put it in her mouth, not afraid of the cold at all.

Unlike Jiang Ning, Jiang Guanqing didn't dare to be so reckless. She scooped up a small spoonful, sipped it, and waited until the ice cream in her mouth completely melted before swallowing. If she got sick from eating ice cream, Jiang Yan would definitely be angry again. Jiang Guanqing wanted to eliminate that possibility at its source.

It's so delicious! I love it! Next time I pick Xiaoning up from school, if I come half an hour earlier, we'll have time to eat ice cream. There are so many flavors! He eats just a little bit each time, letting it melt in his mouth before eating it. I hope that's okay...

On the other side, Fu Chengyan drove Fu Yushu directly back to the Fu family's old residence.

Grandpa Fu was holding a handful of imported fish food, and slowly and playfully feeding it into the tank of his platinum arowana.

Fu Chengyan dragged Fu Yushu in with a dark face, and roughly pushed Fu Yushu forward.

Fu Yushu lost his balance and fell to the ground, his knees hitting the ground with a dull thud.

The platinum arowana had just caught a sinking food pellet when it was startled by the noise and flicked its tail fin, hiding behind the driftwood.

Old Master Fu frowned, looking at his son disapprovingly. "What are you doing?"

Fu Chengyan plopped down in a chair. "Ask him yourself."

Fu Yushu lowered his head and said in a low voice, "...I spread rumors online that my classmate cheated."

"What?!"

Old Master Fu's hand trembled, and a handful of fish food fell into the fish tank. "Say what you just said again? What did you do?"

Fu Yushu dared not utter a sound, and knelt there with his head down.

Fu Chengyan handed over the tablet. Old Master Fu put on his reading glasses, his face growing darker with each glance. He grabbed his cane and struck Fu Yushu's leg, yelling, "You scoundrel! You've framed your classmate without any evidence! What good has all your education done?"

Grandpa Fu didn't hold back at all, and Fu Yushu didn't dare to dodge, enduring the pain head-on, wincing in agony.

Grandpa Fu slapped him a few times, then clutched his back and gasped for breath.

Fu Chengyan added fuel to the fire, "Your good grandson is standing up for that Nan Yun'er, thinking that Nan Yun'er works so hard but her grades are not good, while Jiang Ning is lazy and has made so much progress."
