A story of struggle, heard from Hao Zhenzhen’s mouth and embellished with many imaginary plot points, was retold through this girl’s words, causing the other two to exclaim in surprise.
Finally, the three girls’ opinions were unanimously aligned. They sighed in unison: “Zhenzhen, having such a good brother!
“Hey, Zhen Zhen. What’s wrong?” A round of playful teasing. A crisp, bell-like laughter. But when those three girls walked out four or five steps, they suddenly realized Hao Zhenzhen was left behind, and they turned back to look. They found Hao Zhenzhen standing two meters away, holding her textbook. She was biting her lip, her eyes already moist.
The three girls looked at each other, unable to understand the situation. Just as they were about to walk back and ask what was wrong, the textbook in Hao Zhenzhen’s hand slipped and fell to the ground. Joyful tears rolled down from her eyes: “Brother!”
The call attracted many students’ attention. Following Hao Zhenzhen’s gaze, Hao Yunyang was standing with a smile outside the dormitory building’s reception area. Behind him stood two men wearing suits and sunglasses.
“How have you been this past year?” Hao Zhenzhen threw herself into Hao Yunyang’s arms. All the words Hao Yunyang had prepared were stuck in his throat, and he could only manage an ordinary sentence.
But Hao Zhenzhen didn’t care what Hao Yunyang would say. She only knew her brother had come, he had come to see her at school!
The pressure accumulated over a year at school was now released with Hao Yunyang’s arrival. In no time, a large part of Hao Yunyang’s chest was wet.
Looking down at Hao Zhenzhen choking on his chest, Hao Yunyang felt a sudden surge of tenderness. He gently patted her back and said with a smile, “Silly girl. Don’t cry.”
She indeed stopped choking, and a complex expression crossed Hao Zhenzhen’s face – surprise, worry, and doubt: “How did you know?”
“Haha, having a boyfriend without telling your brother, should I spank you?” Hao Yunyang laughed, his hands on Hao Zhenzhen’s shoulders, looking at the completely transformed Hao Zhenzhen: “The girl has grown up, become a young lady.”
He playfully pinched her nose bridge, then turned his attention to the three girls who came with Hao Zhenzhen, asking, “Your classmates?”
