Shen Lan bit her lip and finally said what she had been preparing for for a long time: "Just saying thank you is not enough. How about you recognize me as your sister?"

Xu Zhe was stunned: "Ah?"

Shen Lan blushed slightly, and said calmly, "Look, I know some people in our school. When you enroll, I will help you get familiar with the campus, and I can also introduce you to others as my brother, so that they can take care of you. How great is that?"

Xu Zhe: "Is it necessary for high school students to be so social?"

Shen Lan: "This is not society, this is just ordinary interpersonal relationships. And... let me tell you the truth, mainly because we are both only children, growing up alone, sometimes we feel a little lonely. Sometimes I think, it would be nice if I had a brother or sister."

Xu Zhe scratched his head, still feeling a little confused.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, from the previous life to this life, he had never heard of a similar request.

Shen Lan asked again: "What about you? Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have a brother or sister?"

Xu Zhe said uncertainly: "I don't think I've thought about it much. I'm really used to being alone... But if I had more brothers and sisters, it should be okay, right?"

Shen Lan blinked her eyes, suppressed her increasingly rapid breathing, and said in the calmest tone possible: "So what do you think now? Do you want to recognize a sister?"

Xu Zhe touched the tip of his nose and said, "I don't have any objection, but does this make sense?"

Shen Lan smiled and said, "Yes, you can call me sister from now on. I asked my dad before, but he refused to remarry, so of course he couldn't give me a brother or sister. I'm really looking forward to someone calling me sister."

The smiling girl did not say what she really expected - not someone else, but Xu Zhe calling her sister.

Of course, what I am looking forward to more is that although people call me sister, it is hard to say what they will actually do.

But Xu Zhe really didn't think it was a big deal. In the past, she was called "senior sister", and now it's just a change of words. From "senior sister" to "sister sister", what's the difference?

Of course, considering his actual mental age, it still feels a little strange to call a girl under 20 years old "sister".

So he whispered, "Okay, Sister Shen Lan."

Shen Lan shook her head slightly: "Don't call me by my name, just call me sister."

Xu Zhe: "Oh, sister."

Shen Lan: "Call me twice more and let me hear it?"

Xu Zhe: "Sister?"

Shen Lan: "Can you go a little slower?"

Xu Zhe scratched his head, slowed down his tone, and his voice became much gentler: "Sister, sister..."

Shen Lan narrowed her eyes immediately, and the blush on her cheeks could no longer be concealed. She took several deep breaths, as if she had eaten some delicious food, or seen some treasure.

This reaction puzzled Xu Zhe. She was just calling me sister, was it that serious?

But what he didn't understand was that at this moment, in Shen Lan's mind, the two of them seemed to have an extra layer of relationship, and it was a bond that no one else could replace. Although they had not yet reached the level of lovers, this slightly intimate and ambiguous relationship was enough to make a girl blush and her heart beat.

The girl adjusted the frame of her glasses and tried to calm herself down.

Then she whispered, "Brother..."

Xu Zhe: "Well, what's wrong?"

Shen Lan pretended to be calm and said, "Do you want to eat something? There is a noodle shop over there. Do you want to try it, brother?"

Xu Zhe complained: "Enjoying delicious food in the airport? Are you okay?"

Shen Lan: "That's right, there must be food on the plane anyway, right, brother?"

Xu Zhe: "You don't have to be so deliberate and call me brother in every sentence..."

Shen Lan accepted his suggestion with a smile, but said, "Then hold my sister's hand and go."

Xu Zhe: "I am two years younger than you, not twelve years younger. There is no need to lead me by the hand."

Obviously, Xu Zhe thought that he was a child when he thought of the suggestion of "holding sister's hand". But what Shen Lan really wanted was the kind of hand holding that was more like that of an adult.

However, this also made Shen Lan quickly realize that she seemed to be a little too hasty. Wouldn't it be better and safer to wait until he got used to the relationship of being a brother and sister, and then push forward little by little?

----

Nearly an hour later, Xu Zhe and Shen Lan were on the plane, waiting for it to take off.

This time, Shen Lan grabbed his hand again, and soon their fingers were intertwined.

In the violently shaking cabin, Xu Zhe turned his head and saw that the girl's face was not as pale as it was during the last takeoff. Instead, her face was a little red again.

Shen Lan whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm still a little airsick."

Xu Zhe: "It's okay...sister."

Shen Lan blinked. The thin lenses could not hide the brilliance in her beautiful eyes. Her eyes were filled with unspeakable emotions, and all Xu Zhe could see from them was joy.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say or do.

He just held her hand tightly in the accelerating plane.

Xu Zhe brought the good news of the contract back home. While his parents were happy, they also had some other expectations.

Zeng Jing asked tentatively: "Son, Shanghai Jiaotong University is a good school, but with your intelligence and talent, is it possible..."

The father said bluntly: "Why are you so tactful? Just say it straight, son, can you go to Tianhua Emperor University?"

Xu Zhe smiled: "If this had happened three years ago, you would have been secretly happy if I had told you that I would be able to go to a 985 university, right?"

Xu Guowei: "It was the past, but now you have been the top student in the grade for many times."

Xu Zhe shook his head and explained, "You underestimate the value of Tianhua University. Let me put it this way, the high school of the middle school I am attending now has not produced a Tianhua University student for several years in a row. For the top student in the high school grade, it is very good to be admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University."

Zeng Jing: "But you are going to the provincial capital's experimental school for high school. I heard that every year there are students who can become Tianhua University."

Xu Zhe: "Yes, but that's the top student in Experimental Middle School. As for me, even though I can get first place in the exam now, I won't be able to do that in Experimental Middle School. Among the good students in the province, I'm just average. It's good enough to get into Jiaotong University. Oh, and there's one more thing. Our company is making a stable profit now. Let's pay the salary."

Xu Guowei: "You mean your company? Isn't all the money you earn yours?"

Xu Zhe: "It's not that simple. When the company was registered, there were three of us as shareholders. Logically, we could get the dividends directly, but we would have to pay one-fifth of personal income tax. But if it's in the name of salary and year-end bonus, the tax can be much lower."

Zeng Jing suddenly became curious: "How much money does your company have now? Last time I heard from your dad, it's several hundred thousand, right?"

Xu Zhe: "That was all last year. Last month, the total was already one million."

Xu Guowei stretched lazily: "I suddenly feel that it doesn't matter what school you go to..."

Xu Zhe shrugged. "It's not that I don't care. University campus is the best platform for networking. Let's get back to business. I don't want to leave any stains on the company's accounts, otherwise I think I might be caught in the act in the future. So, let's discuss the salary and year-end bonus."

Zeng Jing smiled and said, "Oh, my son is going to give money to the family?"

Xu Zhe continued, "Considering that you two only provided your ID cards and I am the one doing all the work, I suggest that I make 6,000 yuan and you each make 2,000 yuan, which adds up to 10,000 yuan. The year-end bonus will be paid out based on two months' salary. This amount of expenditure is not a big deal for the company now. What do you think?"

Xu Guowei smacked his lips and said, "Of course I have no objection to you giving me money. It's all your own money anyway, so you can do whatever you want."

Zeng Jing looked worried, "You can't be so casual, right? Eight thousand, plus the year-end bonus, you're going to get twenty-four thousand this month? Xiaozhe, what do you need so much money for?"

Xu Zhe: "Actually, I didn't do anything. I just transferred some money to my personal account, so that I wouldn't need money suddenly in the future and it would be inconvenient to transfer it from the company's account."

Xu Guowei suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do you want to consider buying a car for your family?"

Xu Zhe chuckled: "You are the only one in our family who has a driver's license. I'll buy it for you, right? It's not impossible, but there's no need to use the money in your personal account to buy it. Instead, you can use the company's money to buy a car and put it in the company's name."

Zeng Jing suddenly asked again: "All of these require accounting, do you know how to do this?"

"Finance can be outsourced. Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on these things. You guys just keep watching TV. I have to work."

After Xu Zhe finished speaking, he walked into the study and closed the door.

Zeng Jing looked at the door of the study and suddenly sighed, "Have you ever thought about your son giving us money?"

Xu Guowei glanced at her and said, "I haven't thought about it. Have you ever thought about it?"

Zeng Jing smiled and said, "When I heard him say that the company started to make money, I thought about it. Moreover, I even thought about what the money should be used for."

Xu Guowei suddenly became curious: "How do you want to use it?"

Zeng Jing: "Save it for him to have as his wife."

Xu Guowei: "Dowry?"

Zeng Jing: "There are also things like buying a house and a car, and holding a wedding... In the past, we didn't seem to have much dowry, and other expenses were also small, but now young people are getting married, and I heard that they need more and more money. So, what if Xu Zhe also needs money at that time? What if his company has problems? We have to prepare for him."

"I think my son is capable enough that you don't need to worry about this. I'd better take a look at the car. From now on, the task of picking him up will have to be left to me."

As he said this, the names of three little girls emerged in Xu Guowei's mind, and he suddenly had some difficult questions - who was the wife of his son, Ben, prepared for?

----

Xu Zhe dragged the progress bar back and listened to the voice of the heroine of the animation. As her tone of calling "Ouni-chan" became more and more ambiguous, he felt that he had grasped the key point.

Would a boy feel good when a cute girl calls him "brother"?

So put yourself in their shoes. It would probably be very satisfying for a girl to hear a handsome boy two years younger than her call her "sister", right?

Of course, Xu Zhe knew without watching any animation that Shen Lan's motives were definitely not pure. But he was not sure to what extent this young lady's mind was impure.

Is it to narrow the distance by creating a sister-brother relationship out of thin air?

Or is it that this verbal sister-brother relationship already satisfies her?

Just as he was thinking silently, the doorbell suddenly rang. Then, there was the sound of the door opening, and a conversation between his mother and a little girl.

"Hey, Feifei is here?"

"Hello, Auntie! Um, has Xu Zhe come back?"

"Yes, yes, he is working in the study..."

Xu Zhe, who was "working" in the study, quickly closed his work documents.

I had just exited to the desktop and opened another serious work document when the study door was pushed open.

Tang Lingfei appeared at the door and said excitedly, "You're finally back!"

Xu Zhe turned around and asked with a smile: "Have you been studying hard recently?"

Tang Lingfei: "Of course, Xiao Ye is learning with me!"

Xu Zhe: "Didn't she come today?"

Suddenly, a quiet and graceful figure appeared at the door of the study. It was Song Xingye.

She smiled and said, "Of course I'm here. I just finished tutoring Feifei. Her parents told us you were back, so we came to see you. How did you learn from the winter camp?"

Xu Zhe couldn't help but laugh and said, "The harvest may be completely beyond your imagination..."

After listening to Xu Zhe's talk about what he gained from the winter camp, the two girls were stunned.

Song Xingye murmured, "Signing a contract with a reduced college entrance examination score? And it's Shanghai Jiaotong University... How can this be possible?!"

Tang Lingfei asked quickly, "Is Shanghai Jiaotong University very powerful?"

Song Xingye nodded heavily. "Amazing! Very impressive! Below Tianhua University are Jiaotong University and Hangzhou University, which are probably the top five in the country. Xu Zhe, you are putting a lot of pressure on us."
