Su Xue and Fifth Sister stood by the road in a daze despite Su Wen leaving a while ago. It was not until someone excitedly patted them on the shoulder that they returned to their senses.

“Su Xue, was that your older sister?”

A few of her cla.s.smates gathered around and looked enviously at the brand-new bicycle parked at the side. Suddenly, the way they looked at the sisters changed. Previously, He Xiaomei and her lackeys had always gossiped behind Su Xue’s back, saying her family was too poor to feed them properly.

Clearly, it was all nonsense.

How could they afford such a beautiful bicycle if they were poor?

“She’s mv older sister.” Su Xue nodded.

“Su Xue, your older sister is really beautiful,” one of the girls sighed enviously.

“She’s nothing like us country b.u.mpkins.” “Su Xue, let me teach you how to ride a bike!”

“I know how to ride one. Let me show you.”

The girls pulled Su Xue and Fifth Sister toward the school field. Cao Jun and a group of boys were playing basketball on the court next to the field. Since Cao Jun and Sheng Nian were the only two with basketb.a.l.l.s, all the other boys flocked to either of them whenever they felt like playing basketball.

“Cao Jun, where did Su Xue and Fifth Sister get their bicycle?”

“I don’t know.” Cao Jun found it strange. As far as he knew, Su Xue and Fifth Sister had not been home in a long time.

Seeing Sheng Nian in the crowd, Cao Jun quickly caught up to his friend. He slung an arm around Sheng Nian’s shoulder and asked, “Hey! Do you know where Su Xue and Fifth Sister got their bike?”

“Their elder sister gave it to them.” Sheng Nian’s response was as cold as ever.

“Their older sister?” Cao Jun gasped exaggeratedly.

“Enl” Sheng Nian grunted, the picture of a stoic young man.

“A shame…” Cao Jun smacked his head with regret. “How could I have missed my future sister-in-law? A shame. A true shame…” Sheng Nian could not make out the rest, Cao Jun’s voice too soft for him to hear clearly.

Still, the term ‘sister-in-law’ was enough to make Sheng Nian frown.

“Sister-in-law?” Sheng Nian said coldly, “Who’s your sister-in-law? Don’t spout nonsense.”

Cao Jun sniffed in disdain. “What do you mean? It’s called taking the initiative and being manly! Sheng Nian, have you turned into a woman? What’s wrong with me calling it as I see it? Ah, forget it.”

At the same time, Cao Jun wondered if he would manage to catch his future sister-in-law if he chased her now.

Cao Jun was a ball of sunshine, bold and fearless. But he could not shake his nervousness at the thought of meeting the illusive woman that was supposed to be his future sister-in-law. From what he had heard, Su Xue and Fifth Sister’s older sibling ruled their household with an iron fist; her word was law.

If he wanted to become a live-in son-in-law, he had to get Su Wen’s approval.

“You…” Sheng Nian took a deep breath to calm his emotions. “We’re still in school. Don’t say things that others might misconstrue.

“What do you mean?!” Cao Jun pouted. “Su Xue said that as long as Su Wen agrees to me being a live-in son-in-law, she will consider going out with me.”

“You… Did Su Xue say that?” Sheng Nian felt a hand brush against his heart before flitting away. Cao Jun’s words had liberated him of a great weight he had not known he was carrying.

Cao Jun quirked a brow at Sheng Nian in confusion. His friend was being strange.

Sizing him up, Cao Jun asked, “Sheng Nian, what’s wrong with you?”

“I’m fine,” he said.

“If you say so…” Cao Jun shrugged..
