Jiang Guanqing stroked Jiang Ning's hair, smiled, and told him to sit up straight before carefully examining him.

Seeing Jiang Ning's sunburned face, neck, and arms, her eyes filled with heartache, "How did you get so sunburned?"

Jiang Ning complained, feeling wronged, "The instructor made me get out of the car to observe how the other students were doing it."

Jiang Guanqing took out aloe vera gel and applied it little by little to Jiang Ning's sunburned skin.

The aloe vera gel felt cool and refreshing when applied, and Jiang Ning squinted her eyes in comfort, burying her head in Jiang Guanqing's neck and rubbing against him, humming softly, "Big brother, you're still the best."

Jiang Guanqing felt ticklish from Jiang Ning's rubbing and laughed as he pressed Jiang Ning's head down, saying, "Don't move around, the cream on your neck isn't evenly applied yet."

"Big brother."

"Um."

"What if I really fail the test? Then I won't be able to drive the car you bought me."

Sensing the dejection in Jiang Ning's voice, Jiang Guanqing smiled and dabbed some aloe vera gel on Jiang Ning's nose.

"If you fail, just take the test again. Our Xiao Ning even got into Beijing University, what's a driver's license to be afraid of? If Xiao Ning really doesn't want to take the test, then don't take it. I'll hire a personal driver for Xiao Ning. If I'm free, I can drive for Xiao Ning too."

Jiang Ning hugged Jiang Guanqing's waist and didn't say anything more. These past few days of driving practice had really worn away his confidence; driving was so difficult.

Jiang Guanqing quietly held Jiang Ning, gently stroking his fur. After a long while, Jiang Ning suddenly looked up and asked the fatal question, "Why is the garage drawn so small? If it were drawn bigger, I wouldn't have crossed the line!"

Jiang Guanqing paused for a moment, then her eyes crinkled into a smile.

"If the garage is painted too big, how will the other cars park?"

Jiang Ning wailed, "This world is so unfriendly to newbies, there's not even a newbie protection period."

Jiang Yan walked in carrying a glass of honey water. "It's really unfriendly, especially to a newbie who can't even drive straight."

Jiang Ning was furious. "Second brother, you're eavesdropping again!"

"The door isn't closed," Jiang Yan handed the honey water to Jiang Guanqing, "and someone's howling is as loud as an air raid siren, so there's no need to eavesdrop."

"You!" Jiang Ning angrily punched the sofa and slumped down on it without saying a word.

Jiang Ning is already 18 years and 31 days old, a full month old.

"Hey, you're back? How did the exam go?"

Jiang Huai was playing games on the sofa when he saw someone come back and casually asked.

When Jiang Huai didn't hear Jiang Ning's reply for a long time, he looked up and saw Jiang Ning sitting blankly to the side as if she had lost her soul. He quickly sat up straight.

"Failed again? Where did you fail this time? Side bend? S-curve? Right angle? Hill start?"

Jiang Ning didn't react. Jiang Huai's lips twitched. "You failed at backing into a parking space again?"

Jiang Ning nodded, utterly dejected.

"You failed twice while backing into a parking space?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Jiang Huai fell silent for a moment. There are two chances for one exam. When Jiang Ning took the second part of the driving test for the first time, he failed twice in the reverse parking. It's like the dungeon refreshed four times and he still hasn't left the newbie village.

After a long pause, Jiang Huai finally spoke haltingly, "Um, are you still planning to take the exam?"

"I have three more chances to take the test. If I fail all three times, I'm giving up."

Jiang Huai gave him a thumbs up, "Okay, I support you." *Hiss*, if Xiao Liu really gets his driver's license, he absolutely won't ride in his car, that's scary.

Jiang Ning took her driving test again before the start of the semester. As the saying goes, if you fall down, you should lie down there; Jiang Ning lay down again on the reverse parking maneuver.

Even Jiang Guanqing didn't know how to comfort Jiang Ning. Fortunately, Jiang Ning was an optimist and was full of energy again the next day.

On the day Jiang Ning started school, the whole family came out.

As freshmen are required to live on campus, Jiang Guanqing recalls the "bare walls" appearance of Jiang Ning's high school dormitory and wishes he could bring his home to Jiang Ning.

In addition to clothes, bedding, and daily necessities, Jiang Guanqing also prepared a first-aid kit for Jiang Ning, and several sunscreens as well.

Jiang Guanqing and the others carried large and small bags to send Jiang Ning off to school. The six of them were tall and good-looking, especially Jiang Zhuo, who was wearing a baseball cap and a mask and was completely covered up. He attracted a lot of attention.

"Holy crap, bro! Ahhhhh, it's bro!!!"

"This is hilarious! All the big brothers are showing their faces, but what's the difference between Zhuo Ge's face being covered and not?"

"Slurp, so handsome and beautiful, all with long legs..."

"..."

The students were all mindful of their boundaries and only watched from a distance without crowding around.

Jiang Guanqing and his group went straight to Jiang Ning's dormitory room 603.

Jingbei University offers double, four-person, and six-person dormitories. Jiang Ning wanted to stay more comfortably, so she chose a double dormitory.

My roommate arrived earlier than Jiang Ning and the others. He was a tall, thin guy with glasses, named Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu saw so many people bringing Jiang Ning to her dormitory, he pushed up his glasses in surprise. He was even more surprised when he saw Jiang Guanqing and the others tidying up everything for Jiang Ning. After Jiang Guanqing and the others left, he was even more surprised.

Zhou Yu swallowed hard and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me for asking, but... does your family... raise you like a princess?"

Jiang Ning's lips twitched. "...Are you being polite?"

Don't make it sound like he's so pampered. Out of the five, only the eldest brother truly loves him and genuinely saw him off to school. The other four were just worried that the eldest brother would get tired on his own.

The notice for closed-door military training came down on the day of registration, and Jiang Ning and Zhou Yu were taken to the suburban training base early the next morning.

During the month-long closed military training, Jiang Ning would call Jiang Guanqing every night, rambling on and on, sometimes falling asleep while talking.

"Brother, the drill instructor made us stand at attention for forty minutes under the sun today. I felt like my soul was smoking. I was already in such a miserable state, and then crickets started jumping on me. The moment I moved, the instructor caught me..."

Jiang Guanqing liked Jiang Ning's rambling. He knew that Jiang Ning called him every day just to put his mind at ease.

After a month of military training, there would be a three-day holiday. Jiang Guanqing drove to pick up Jiang Ning early in the morning.

"Big brother!"

A boy in camouflage, flashing a set of white teeth, ran towards Jiang Guanqing.

"Xiao Ning?" Jiang Guanqing hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Oh, big brother, it's only been a month, and you've already forgotten me?" Jiang Ning asked incredulously.

When Jiang Ting saw Jiang Ning's lumpy appearance, he burst out laughing. "You can go and shoot Darlie toothpaste's boyfriend now."

Jiang Guanqing's eyes were filled with heartache. "How did you get so dark?"

Jiang Ning knew she was dark-skinned, but not that dark, was she?

Jiang Ning glared at Jiang Ting; Fifth Brother really has a sharp tongue.

When Jiang Ning got home, she discovered that Jiang Ting's mouth was only slightly poisoned.

Jiang Yan stared at Jiang Ning for two seconds, then asked seriously, "Are you going to military training or to dig coal?"

Jiang Zhuo stroked his chin and walked around Jiang Ning. "African exchange student? I don't remember Peking University having this program."

Jiang Huai was even more direct, "Big brother, the new bodyguards we hired make us feel quite safe."

Jiang Ning collapsed into Jiang Guanqing's arms, crying out, "Big brother, look at them!!!"

Jiang Ting grinned and took a picture of Jiang Ning with her phone. "Smile, Xiao Liu. Now I'll edit the picture for you. I'll make sure the brightness is at least 100+."

"I'm not that dark-skinned!" Jiang Ning retorted.

"Accept reality," Jiang Zhuo poured Jiang Ning a glass of water. "At least now you don't have to worry about getting a tan while you're taking your driver's license test."

"Chubang soy sauce is delicious and fresh, sun-dried to a depth of 180 degrees..."

"Jiang Ting!!!"

Jiang Guanqing suppressed a laugh and quickly soothed Jiang Ning's frizzy hair, saying, "Even if you're tanned, you're still the most handsome Xiao Ning in our family."
