Chapter 27 Lu Nan's School Days (Part 2)
Lu Nan ate his hamburger, and neither of them spoke again, creating a somewhat silent atmosphere.

She didn't show any interest in the new phone, and didn't even glance at it, because she felt guilty if she did.

"Sigh, actually, it's not that I don't want you to date. It's normal for college students to date. But you're too naive. Don't blame me for worrying about you. I'm just afraid you'll get scammed. Didn't you see the news? 'Beware of fire, theft, and upperclassmen.' It means that upperclassmen aren't a good thing!"

"Ah."

Lu Nan just nodded in agreement without saying anything. Seeing this, Lu Ze sighed. After she finished eating, he put on his backpack, pulled his suitcase, and the two of them walked towards the school bus.

"Is this the one? Let me see. It's the one from Beijing University of Political Science and Law. That's it. Don't keep that long face like everyone owes you money. Cheer up. The bus will be full of your classmates. Don't give them a hard time."

Lu Ze walked around the bus and finally saw the university's sign on the windshield. There was also a college student sitting by the door with a stool in his hand.

"Hello, my sister is a freshman at your school. This is her admission notice. Please take a look."

The student was a boy. When he saw Lu Nan, he stared at her intently, clearly a sucker for good looks. He was practically drooling over her. He took the admission notice from Lu Ze, opened it, and gave a bright smile.

"Lu Nan, welcome to the big family of China University of Political Science and Law. Get in the car. Are you her brother? Just give me your luggage, I'll put it away for you."

Lu Ze felt embarrassed to let him carry it, and the two of them politely but also argued for a while before finally putting the luggage away properly.

"Lu Nan, aren't you going to thank your senior?"

Lu Ze glared at Lu Nan, then poked her in the lower back, as if questioning her, "What did I just tell you!"

"Thank you, senior."

"It's alright, it's alright, don't be shy. Please get in and sit for a while. There's air conditioning in the car; it's too hot outside."

As soon as Lu Nan got into the car, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone else in the car. Ever since Lu Nan was four or five years old, the village elders have praised her for having an ethereal quality. This quality has not disappeared even now, but has become more prominent. This quality transcends appearance and is even more eye-catching than appearance.

Even the older students sitting by the car door couldn't resist Lu Nan's charm, let alone a group of high school freshmen. Even many girls showed envious expressions.

"Sit here, by the window, don't get carsick."

Many people from rural areas are prone to motion sickness. This has little to do with whether they have seen the world or not. Rather, it's because they are used to the fresh air in the mountains and then feel dizzy when they come to the city and smell all kinds of exhaust fumes.

It's fine while walking, but the worst thing is being in a small, poorly ventilated space like a bus; almost everyone who sits there gets dizzy.

"I am fine."

Lu Nan was still not in a good mood, resting her head against the car window and looking out.

After about ten minutes, the senior student leading the group got on the bus, glanced around, and saw that the bus was almost full. He then notified the driver to set off. It was a little after 3 p.m., and the traffic in Beijing wasn't considered congested at this time of day. Everything was going very well.

The senior student picked up the microphone on the bus and began to introduce the school's faculty and campus environment. He also mentioned famous figures from the school and encouraged the students present, filling the bus with laughter and joy. Every freshman was looking forward to their wonderful four years of university life.

"I've already told you to cheer up, okay? If you keep looking so sad, I'll buy you a mask. Do you want the Monkey King or the Pigsy?"

That was quite a joke. Lu Nan rolled her eyes at her older brother and said in a low voice, "Aren't you annoying?"

"Even if I'm annoyed, you have to put up with it. I know you're only eighteen. You may not understand social etiquette, but you should at least know some manners, right? Who are you trying to impress with this attitude? It just shows you're ill-mannered and don't know right from wrong. This is university, not your old high school where there are only two classes per grade! Nobody's going to serve a living emperor like you. Nobody owes anyone anything, and nobody likes to see you with such a long face! Even though the Lu family has been farmers for eight generations, we still have our pride. Don't embarrass the Lu family, okay?"

This is only because Lu Ze is giving Lu Nan face in public; otherwise, at home, he would probably already be pulling Lu Nan's hair and beating her.

"I know, I didn't mean to give anyone a hard time. I'm just in a bad mood and don't want to talk. I definitely wouldn't act like this when I'm with my classmates. I definitely want to make more friends."

Lu Ze knew why she was unhappy, so he patted her head and said, "Why are you thinking so much at your age? You should focus on your studies. There are plenty of people whose family circumstances are worse than yours, and they are still working hard to study. At least we still have our parents, and you have an older brother who is still somewhat useful. You don't need to worry about this family right now."

"But... I owe you all so much, it weighs on my heart, and it hurts me."

Lu Nan pouted, wiped her eyes, and spoke softly with a slight tremor in her voice.

"Sigh, don't always think like that. Your brother's life is probably going to be like this. In the future, we'll have to rely on you to bring honor to the Lu family. Then Mom and Dad will benefit from your success. If you study hard and become a great lawyer or judge, and gain a foothold in the capital, then everything will be worth it. Maybe then you'll even have to protect your brother, right?"

"Yeah, bro, I'll definitely study hard and buy you and Mom and Dad a big house in the capital in the future." "Sure, you said it yourself. You'd better prepare a house for your brother then. I won't accept anything less than 120 square meters. Alright, alright, you're pretty and attracting attention, aren't you? Your classmates are all looking at you. Cheer up, it's your first day of school."

Lu Nan finally smiled, regaining her former poise and cheerful personality. She started chatting with the other students on the bus. It's great to be with peers; everyone laughs and jokes together, and soon all worries can be forgotten.

After about forty minutes, the bus entered the school campus. As it entered the main gate, all the students' eyes were drawn to it. The bus drove over the grass, the playground, and the artificial lake, taking a full five minutes to drive through the campus. This gives you an idea of ​​just how large the entire school is.

Festive banners can be seen everywhere on campus: "Warmly welcome the new students of 2016."

Actually, Lu Nan was quite naive and had never seen much of the world. She was a little stunned by what she saw. She was unsure if she was really going to live and study here for four years. This place was so much bigger and more beautiful than her old high school with its dirt playground.

"Your school is quite nice. You should go out with your roommates more often. Don't stay cooped up in your dorm all day or just stay in one corner. After all, you're in the capital now. Go see the flag-raising ceremony with your classmates, climb the Great Wall, and stroll around the hutongs. Don't worry about saving money. Seeing more of the world will benefit your future, you know?"

"Um"

Lu Nan's gaze was somewhat unfocused, and it was unclear whether she had heard Lu Ze's words.

The car stopped, and Lu Ze took his luggage to the registration office. After handing over his admission notice and bank savings statement for tuition and fees to the counselor, a student council member led Lu Ze and his sister to get their bedding and then to their dormitory.

Lu Nan was lucky; the four-person dormitory was newly renovated, with tiled floors, making the whole room bright and clean, and the beds, tables, chairs, and benches were all new.

Lu Nan's roommates have all arrived, and they all seem to come from well-off families. Lu Nan hasn't noticed this yet, but Lu Ze has seen it all in an instant.

His relationship with his roommates during a previous university simulation course showed that without equal economic means, even living in the same dormitory wouldn't allow them to get along.

Lu Ze also strongly agrees with the idea that girls should be raised in a wealthy environment, but now he feels that there is still a long way to go.

Although her roommates all came from well-off families, none of them were particularly beautiful. Standing among them, Lu Nan stood out like a crane among chickens. In this era, good looks are an advantage, but sometimes they can also be a disadvantage. So far, the girls seem to be very friendly to Lu Nan, but it remains to be seen what will happen in the future.

Lu Ze bought toiletries such as a kettle and washbasin for Lu Nan, which was quite tiring running around. Moreover, it was really hot in the capital. By the time all the basic necessities were prepared, Lu Ze was covered in sweat.

Feeling a little embarrassed to wash his face in the girls' washroom, Lu Ze quickly wiped his face and sat down on a stool to rest.

Lu Ze's appearance was also quite good, and he was very attractive to these girls who were just beginning to experience romantic feelings. Lu Nan's roommate even blushed and handed Lu Ze a bottle of water.

The counselor informed them that they needed to pick up their military training uniforms. Lu Ze accompanied them, and after checking the time, he realized it was already past four o'clock. He had bought a train ticket for around 7:50 PM, so he had to leave.

After asking Lu Nan's roommates to get along well, Lu Nan accompanied Lu Ze to the school gate.

"Then I'm leaving. Go buy two bottles of sunscreen. Remember to share with your roommates. Don't be too calculating with your classmates. Being petty will only annoy people. Buy everyone some water or popsicles now and then. Even if you spend less on yourself, you have to maintain good relationships with your college classmates, understand?"

"I know brother."

"Also, it's normal for you guys to go out for meals, but don't drink. If I find out, you'll see what I do to you when I get home. If you don't want to go to social events, fine, but don't let those bastards take advantage of you. You've seen those news stories about younger sisters being bullied, older brothers taking out knives to get revenge, killing people and getting sentenced to death, right? If you don't want to end up like me, then do whatever you want. Finally, remember, that upperclassman on the bus, the guy who helped us carry our luggage, and your advisor—they're all no good. Stay away from them. I've been out in the world for so long, I'm pretty good at judging people. I can see right through them. Make sure you stay away from them. That's all, I'm off."

After saying that, Lu Ze walked away nonchalantly without looking back, like a real man. In fact, he still cared about his younger sister, after all, she was his precious little sister whom he had doted on since childhood.

Lu Nan wasn't feeling too good either. When she got back to her dorm, her roommates were all laughing and joking about what had just happened, and they even complimented Lu Ze on how handsome he really was.

Lu Nan wasn't in a good mood. She glanced at the few pairs of her pants lying on the table and pouted. How could her brother have just thrown his pants out there when he had just tidied them up?

After folding the second pair of pants, Lu Nan felt that the pockets were a bit bulging. He curiously turned them over and found a stack of money and a note inside.

"Don't be stingy, spend it without worry, I'll take care of things at home."
