"Sis." Ye Qiu answered the phone, and a joyful and upbeat young voice ca through, "I received the strawberries you sent, they’re so sweet!"
"Then eat more of them." Ye Qiu’s lips curved into a slight smile, "How are you doing recently, feeling alright?"
"I’m doing great, Sis, you don’t need to worry, I haven’t been to the hospital in these two months!"
"That’s good to hear. You like strawberries, so I’ll send you so more in a few days."
"That’s such a hassle, I could just buy so myself if I wanted to eat."
"The ones you buy definitely won’t taste as good as mine." Ye Qiu chuckled, "It’s no bother, I’ll send so other fruits along in a few days."
"Sis, how co the fruit from your place tastes even better than at ho! Is it a new variety?"
"You could say that."
"Sis, has anyone been picking on you at school?"
"Nope."
"And nobody’s chasing after you?"
"Nope."
"How is that possible?" the young man said in surprise, "Sis, you must be pulling my leg."
"I’m not lying to you."
"Alright, I’ll take your word for it." The young man’s voice was hesitant, then he added, "Sis, but you have to promise , don’t just get a boyfriend easily, and if you do get one, I have to et him first."
Ye Qiu has always indulged her brother, so she assured him: "Sure, no problem."
"Sis, I ca third in our school in this month’s exams."
Ye Qiu praised with a laugh: "Zhouzhou is really amazing!"
"Not really." It was clear from his voice that the young man on the phone was a bit shy, and Ye Qiu could imagine the delicate and fair-skinned young man was blushing at this mont.
"Sis, I want to apply for J University, what do you think?" the young man said with so trepidation.
"Your grades definitely won’t be a problem, but have you really decided?"
"Yeah." The young man stated firmly, "I want to go to the sa university as you, Sis."
Ye Qiu gently advised him: "You shouldn’t choose a university because of , the most important thing is your own interests, have you decided on what major you want to study?"
"I have, Biology."
Ye Qiu’s brows furrowed slightly: "Studying Biology involves a lot of experints, often requiring you to work late in the lab, are you sure your health can handle it?"
"Sis, I don’t want to have any regrets."
The young man’s voice over the phone was soft, as if it could be swept away by the wind, Ye Qiu’s heart clenched with pain, like being pricked by a needle. Such a thoughtful and well-behaved younger brother who has been living cautiously since childhood, never once reckless, yet Ye Qiu had never heard him complain.
"Alright, Sis supports you."
"Thanks, Sis." The young man’s cheerful voice smoothed out Ye Qiu’s slightly furrowed brows.
"But you have to promise , no matter if it’s now or in the future, that you’ll go to bed on ti, eat on ti, and not engage in any extre behavior."
"I promise!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qiu thought of the youth on the other end and silently smiled. This was her little brother, after all. In this life, all he needed to do was to live happily according to his own heart. Now that they had obtained Spiritual Spring Space, although it couldn’t completely cure his heart condition, it could gradually restore his physical skills and allow him to live like a normal person.
"Oh, my little brother!" Liu Qingqing whispered, not knowing when she had crept up close.
Ye Qiu put away the smile on her face and said expressionlessly, "My little brother."
"Tsk, how heartless! Speaking of which, when are you going to bring your little brother over for us to et? You’re so pretty, your little brother must be quite the handso guy, right?"
"Heh..." Ye Qiu gave her a heartless look, "You’d better stay away from him."
"The morals of society are declining, and people’s hearts are not what they used to be; so have even started targeting the underage," Cao Lu said as she ca back from tidying up her quilt, throwing in her usual criticism.
"Boring, I’m not talking to you guys anymore." Liu Qingqing, frustrated, began to battle with her howork.
"Lanlan hasn’t co to class for a week now, what about her howork?" Cao Lu asked with a frown.
"I sent it to her, but she didn’t do it. She said to have copy it for her."
"That’s not very good!" Being roommates, Cao Lu didn’t speak too harshly. Her parents were both professors, and she had always taken her studies seriously from a young age, firmly opposing things like plagiarism.
"What else can we do? I think what she cares about most right now is her web series," said Liu Qingqing indifferently.
"We’re still students, even if one wants to enter the entertainnt industry, we can’t neglect our studies! Look at those so-called big stars now, how many of them are truly cultured? If she does well academically, it would be good for her fa too!"
"In today’s society, earning money is what’s most important, who cares about the rest," Liu Qingqing shrugged. Though blunt, she was not stupid. She really looked down on Lanlan’s actions recently. Wanting to enter the entertainnt industry was fine, but as Liu Qingqing saw it, Lanlan was a bit too impatient and had her priorities backwards.
However, she had no right to interfere with others’ lives, and who knew, maybe Lanlan’s path was the right one? Fa, money, and education – only the person involved could truly understand what’s more important.
"Forget it, I’ll just give her a call," Cao Lu hesitated for a mont but still held firm to her principles.
"Hey, Lu Lu, what’s up?" The voice over the phone sounded quite noisy, Lanlan’s tone was loud, causing Liu Qingqing to perk up her ears and put down her pen.
"Lanlan, I sent you the howork assigned by the teacher yesterday to your email, did you see it?"
"There’s more howork?!" Lanlan complained loudly, "But I’m really busy now and just don’t have the ti to do it."
It seed soone was calling for Lanlan on the other end; she replied and hurriedly said into the phone, "Lu Lu, could you please do the howork for ? I really don’t have ti right now, please and thank you!" She didn’t wait for a response and hung up.
Liu Qingqing listened wholeheartedly, threw an "I told you so" look at Cao Lu, and turned back to peacefully do her own howork.
"This can’t go on, she might even fail her classes," Cao Lu said with a furrowed brow, her tone laced with concern.
"If she’s not worried about it herself, why should you? Maybe she doesn’t care at all!" Liu Qingqing said nonchalantly.
After so thought, Cao Lu still sent Lanlan a text ssage, basically stating that she wouldn’t do her howork for her and hoped Lanlan could complete it herself, then she set a final deadline for submitting the howork and let it go.
"Alright, it’s not your problem anyway. Look at Ye Zi, she never cares about these boring things, and see how good her skin is."
"We’re in the sa dorm after all, alright, I was just reminding her. It won’t interfere with my own things."
Lanlan, having received the ssage, was upset that her dormmates wouldn’t help her with her howork but didn’t take it to heart. To her, the final exam was just the knowledge from the books, and that was simple for her. She believed that as long as she got high scores on the exams, losing so behavior points from ti to ti was not a big deal.
