“Alright, please wait a moment.”

...

Sheng Nian soon disappeared with a few large strides. The male student population was noticeably slack-jawed by their interaction.

Once Sheng Nian was out of earshot, Su Wen asked the male student she had pulled aside why he seemed so surprised.

“I…” The boy blushed. “I haven’t seen Sheng Nian take the initiative to talk to anyone.”

Su Wen tapped her chin thoughtfully, her interest piqued. It did not take much for her to ferret out Sheng Nian’s secrets.

He was the grandson of the school’s old principal. The old principal retired just before the new year, and while he could have stayed on, he chose not to, but that did not mean he skipped out of town. He remained. Sheng Nian was from the city, and his parents sent him to this school because his grandfather was here.

According to rumor, Sheng Nian would return to the city when he graduated from middle school and was to attend high school.

Su Wen learned little else of note. Fifth Sister was still young! This Sheng Nian was also very young. A fling between youngsters was not something serious.

Sheng Nian arrived at his classroom, his cold mask firmly in place. He had always been a loner, and only Cao Jun bothered to interact with him. It was his first time interacting with Fifth Sister of his own volition.

Caught off guard by Sheng Nian’s initiative, Fifth Sister asked, “Is something wrong?”

“Your older sister is here. She’s waiting for you at the guard house.” Sheng Nian did not elaborate further.

The other people in the class who had not left yet burst into an uproar.

Everyone had long heard that Su Xue and Fifth Sister had an older sister. The student body’s impression of the said older sister had not been good. It changed when they met Su Xiu. Now, they were curious.

“Fifth Sister, your older sister is here. What’s the matter?” Some people were worried that Su Wen would stop her sisters from continuing their studies. “Maybe she’s here to pass them something.”

People could not help but wonder what Fifth Sister’s family wanted to deliver to her.

Su Xiu’s recent gifts had surprised many into fits of envy.

However, Fifth Sister, the person in question, was far from delighted to hear the news. Instead, she was nervous. She tugged on Su Xue’s sleeve and said worriedly, “Fourth Sister, what should we do? Is Big Sister really here?” Su Xue pursed her lips. “We should see what Big Sister is here for.”

The two of them had not been home in a long time. The school allowed its students to commute home on the weekends, and most chose to do so. They, however, remained on campus, using the excuse that they needed to study to stay in their dormitory. They had not returned all this time because they feared their older sister. Even though Third Sister had said Eldest Sister was doing well, they still had reservations they had yet to overcome.

They were still scared of their older sister.

They feared Third Sister was trying to downplay the situation, and they did not want to give Su Wen a reason to change her mind. Big Sister’s temper was unpredictable – it was best to stay clear of her when possible. Unfortunately, their time away from home compounded their fears, and they were now more nervous than ever before. The two girls did not dare meet Su Wen.

“Alright… Alright! ”

Now, they had no choice but to face the music; there was nowhere to hide. If they did not meet their older sister, there was a strong likelihood they would anger her.

They had no choice but to face Su Wen.

Su Xue and Fifth Sister went to the guard house together. From afar, they could see Eldest Sister standing beside a brand -new bicycle, pacing back and forth.

She wore her usual clothes, but it did not dispel how she felt like a stranger to them.

It was as if they were meeting for the first time.

Fifth Sister stopped in her tracks. “Fourth Sister, then… Is it Big Sister?”

“It’s Big Sister! She seems to have become more beautiful,” Su Xue replied.

“Big Sister is not working…” Fifth Sister wanted to say something, but Su Xue glared at her fiercely.

“Hush! We have no right to badmouth Big Sister.” It was not like they were working, yet they were spending the family’s money on their studies. “Remember to apologize to Big Sister later..”
