"Brother?" Linlin was taken aback. "Okay, thank you, instructor."

The instructor adjusted his hat and glanced at Linlin again.

Jiang Chengzhou's younger sister is really too eye-catching.

Not only his own company, but even instructors and students from other companies came to inquire about her.

However, thinking about Jiang Chengzhou's personality, the instructor smiled to himself. With a brother-in-law who dotes on his sister like his own life, he wondered who would be lucky enough to enjoy such a relationship.

Linlin waited until Dong Xiaomin arrived, and the two went to the school gate together.

Linlin ran over like a happy little bird, "Brother, why have you come to see me again?"

Jiang Chengzhou took two steps back, glanced at Linlin in her military uniform, and smiled. "Not bad, not bad, you look like a female soldier. Was military training tiring today?"

Linlin wasn't lying at all; her shoulders slumped, "Tired~"

Jiang Chengzhou laughed when he saw this.

Linlin took Dong Xiaomin's hand and introduced her to her brother, "Brother, this is Xiaomin, my new best friend."

Jiang Chengzhou nodded to Dong Xiaomin, "Hello, Xiaomin."

"Hello there."

Dong Xiaomin greeted him softly, a little afraid of Linlin's brother, and hid behind Linlin.

Jiang Chengzhou smiled, took a bag off his bicycle, and said, "Grandma asked me to bring you these dumplings. You can eat them with your friends."

Linlin happily accepted it, "Thank you, Grandma."

She noticed that Dong Xiaomin seemed a little uncomfortable in front of Jiang Chengzhou, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Brother, Xiaomin and I will go back to the dormitory first. Can you wait for me here for a bit?"

"Of course, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

Linlin and Dong Xiaomin returned to their dormitory. Linlin told Dong Xiaomin to eat first, and then she went out to find her brother.

Dong Xiaomin placed the lunchbox on the table in the middle of the dormitory and did not touch it.

Just then, the others returned and saw the lunchbox on the table.

Without saying a word, Sun Lina opened the lunchbox. "Wow, it smells so good! Who bought these dumplings?"

Dong Xiaomin frowned, snatched the lid back from her hand, and closed the lunchbox. "This is Linlin's. Don't touch other people's things!"

Sun Lina pouted, "Where did she buy it? The cafeteria doesn't seem to sell dumplings."

Dong Xiaomin did not answer.

Sun Lina retorted sarcastically, "Was it a gift from some guy?"

On the first day of military training, everyone was still unfamiliar with each other, but gossip was inevitable.

The news that Lu Zeyu gave Linlin soda had already spread.

After all, Linlin became famous as soon as she entered the school, and people in this era are reserved, so it is rare to see someone as openly affectionate as Lu Zeyu.

She blurted it out without warning, which made Dong Xiaomin a little angry. "Don't talk nonsense. These are dumplings made by Linlin's grandma. Her brother brought them over."

"Does her grandmother live in the capital?"

Dong Xiaomin remained silent.

Sun Lina also had some doubts.

Could Lin Lin also be from the capital?

Actually, apart from the first two days when everyone mentioned their hometown during introductions, no one else cared about where they were from anymore.

Sun Lina, however, clung to what she thought was an "advantage" and remained smug.

Linlin was unaware of all this; she was taking a walk with Jiang Chengzhou by the artificial lake on campus.

Seeing the little girl hesitate for a long time without saying a word, Jiang Chengzhou couldn't help but urge her, "What's wrong? Have you encountered any difficulties? Or has someone bullied you?"

Linlin shook her head, looked up at him, and asked, "Brother... have you ever been in a relationship?"

Jiang Chengzhou's mental alarm bells went off instantly. "No, I haven't graduated yet. Studying is the most important thing. I'm not dating. Why are you asking this?"

Linlin reached out and touched the weeping willows by the lake. "I also want to ask you what it feels like to be in love."

"What's so good about dating?" Jiang Chengzhou said. "It's a waste of time and energy."

Linlin wrinkled her nose coquettishly, "Didn't my brother say he'd never been in a relationship? How do you know?"

Jiang Chengzhou's face darkened. "You've met someone you like?"

"No," Linlin said seriously, "What if I run into it later? I should at least be prepared, right?"

Linlin's mother wanted her to experience dating, and she treated it as a learning experience.

But there were no textbooks for this, and she really didn't know what to do.

Jiang Chengzhou looked at his "silly" younger sister, somewhat at a loss for words. "Dating is something that should happen naturally, but there's one thing: if you have someone you like, you have to tell your brother first!"

"Oh……"

Linlin wanted to tell her brother about Lu Zeyu, but then she remembered that Lu Zeyu hadn't said anything offensive and she didn't have any feelings for him, so she swallowed her words.

Jiang Chengzhou dropped his sister off at the dormitory entrance, then went straight to find Yan Yuan after leaving the school.

Yan Yuan is currently a teaching assistant at the school and lives in the staff dormitory building.

The people I interact with are all retired teachers, and my daily life is very regular and quiet.

Jiang Chengzhou rushed over in a flurry, and Yan Yuan thought something had happened.

"Want some drinks?" Jiang Chengzhou asked, carrying two bottles of beer.

Yan Yuan had no choice but to buy some cold dishes and bring him inside.

"What happened?"

Jiang Chengzhou sighed, "About Linlin."

Yan Yuan paused slightly as he set the table. "What's wrong with Linlin?"

Jiang Chengzhou slammed a beer bottle on the table, pried open the cap, and said in a tone that was both amused and annoyed, "Little girl, you got hit on on your first day of military training."

Yan Yuan's eyes dimmed for a moment.

Jiang Chengzhou didn't notice and continued, "I went to deliver dumplings to her just now, and she suddenly asked me what it feels like to be in a relationship. I was almost speechless."

Linlin's instructor was Jiang Chengzhou's classmate.

Even though she didn't say anything, the instructor told Jiang Chengzhou about Lu Zeyu.

Not only that, Jiang Chengzhou also found out about the other people who had inquired about Linlin.

Jiang Chengzhou was both proud and worried about his younger sister's popularity. "School hasn't even officially started yet, what will become of us?"

Yan Yuan lowered his eyes and pushed the beer bottle forward.

"Won't you have something to drink?" Jiang Chengzhou asked.

Yan Yuan shook his head. "I have class tomorrow."

Jiang Chengzhou didn't actually have a habit of drinking, but seeing this, he got up and washed two glasses in the kitchen. "I've already opened one bottle, so drink this one with me."

Yan Yuan remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

Jiang Chengzhou brought up other things, and Yan Yuan couldn't help but steer the conversation back, "Aren't you going to get involved with Linlin's situation?"

Jiang Chengzhou chuckled and said slowly, "I've applied to the teacher to be Linlin's instructor in a couple of days."

Yan Yuan did not respond.

Given how much Jiang Chengzhou values ​​Linlin, with him around, people with ulterior motives will have no chance to get close to Linlin.

Yan Yuan was ashamed to find himself breathing a sigh of relief, followed by an even stronger sense of guilt.

The light fell from above, illuminating his downcast eyes.

The brow bone cast a small shadow over the eye socket, obscuring the expression.

After seeing Jiang Chengzhou off, Yan Yuan turned around and went back into the house. He reached out and cleared the dishes from the table, putting them into the sink.

The water was running, and he kept his head down, his fingers soaking in the cold water. It took him a long time to turn off the tap.
