After being reborn, who wouldn't want to have a younger sister?

Chapter 511 Authenticity
As Yang Zhi walked out of the teaching building, she happened to run into Xu Mingyuan, who came to pick her up.

Just as he was about to jog over to greet her, he suddenly noticed Su Muqing beside him and subconsciously slowed his pace.

"elder brother."

Yang Zhi hugged Xu Mingyuan's arm and ignored Su Muqing.

"Hmm, why are you carrying a schoolbag?"

Xu Mingyuan reached out and weighed the backpack in his hand. There were quite a few odds and ends, mostly books and paint boxes.

"I don't have classes this afternoon. I've finished two of my major courses, so I can take my books back with me," Yang Zhi explained.

"Little sister, how about we have lunch together?" Su Muqing asked.

Yang Zhi still didn't respond to her, but said to Xu Mingyuan, "Brother, let's go home for dinner."

"Hehe, okay." Xu Mingyuan laughed.

"How about you take me with you?" Su Muqing asked with a smile.

"not so good……"

Yang Zhi pursed her lips and quietly walked to the middle, separating herself from Su Muqing.

"Giggle..."

Su Muqing's chest heaved, both amused and exasperated by Xiao Yangzhi's actions, and she could only use laughter to cover up the slight embarrassment in her heart.

Xiao Yangzhi is quite interesting; she's a quiet and gentle child, but easily teased.

Yang Zhi secretly glanced at Su Muqing's clothes and then looked down at her own jeans and flat shoes. She felt a little uncomfortable walking in the middle, as if she were leading a little girl between the two of them.

"Little sister, let's go eat hot pot together? The mushroom hot pot is really delicious, do you want to try it?"

"..."

Yang Zhi frowned and didn't answer, but gently shook Xu Mingyuan's arm.

“No, don’t you get tired of eating hot pot all the time?” Xu Mingyuan said.

“I don’t eat it every day, just occasionally,” Su Muqing replied.

"Then you're not a very good boss. Don't you eat the food your own family provides?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

“I’ll do spot checks, and I’m afraid of being fooled. Aren’t you a shareholder? Why don’t you go and investigate?”

"What's there to investigate? I'm not going to waste time with you, go eat by yourself."

Xu Mingyuan waved his hand, indicating that Su Muqing should go somewhere cool and stay there.

“Okay, maybe next time. Hey, were you driving Tao Tao’s car today? I saw her car in the parking lot,” Su Muqing said.

"Well, what happened?"

"Give me the car keys. I have some hot pot ingredients in my car, so I can put them in yours," Su Muqing said, extending her hand.

"What do you mean? Did you come here specifically to deliver hot pot base today?"

"No, I brought it along the way. I left the car keys in the front left wheel, so don't forget to take them."

Su Muqing waved the keys in her hand and left without looking back.

Su Muqing originally thought that Xu Mingyuan would keep his words to himself, that only he and she knew, but who would have thought that Xiao Yangzhi would be born as well.

Xiao Yangzhi was far too wary, a stark contrast to her behavior last time. Su Muqing wasn't stupid either; after Xu Mingyuan's prompting, she quickly guessed that he had told her what he had said before.

Staying here was too embarrassing, and Su Muqing didn't even dare to see Tao Shuxin anymore. She just wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible.

Sometimes Xu Mingyuan's words are straightforward enough, so why bother verifying their authenticity?

"Brother, what does she want from you?"

Watching Su Muqing's hurried departure, Yang Zhi asked curiously.

"They've probably gotten over the awkwardness and came over to chat," Xu Mingyuan said.

"What's so embarrassing?"

"The thing she mentioned last time."

"Oh, she's still up to her old tricks?" Yang Zhi asked quietly.

"Who knows? But she's going to be embarrassed for a while," Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"why?"

"She figured out you knew about this."

"How dare she say that? And she even felt embarrassed? She's so shameless..."

Perhaps because she had spent so much time with Tao Shuxin, Yang Zhi inevitably learned to gossip behind people's backs, quietly complaining about Su Muqing's shameless behavior.

"Yes, you're right, you're the most thin-skinned of all," Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Brother, please don't make me feel awkward too, okay?"

Yang Zhi bit her lip, turned her head to look at him, her little face full of embarrassment. "Haha, you little girl."

Xu Mingyuan ruffled Xiao Yangzhi's hair, telling her to fix it while he did so. The weather was getting warmer, yet she kept moving closer to him, not seeming to mind the heat at all.

The teacher qualification certificate is not difficult to obtain; it's just that the process is a bit complicated. Tao Shuxin finished the written exam in March, and this time the interview is in May. After that, she can just wait to receive the certificate.

The interview took place in a classroom in the second teaching building. When Xu Mingyuan took Xiao Yangzhi to find Tao Shuxin, they saw her queuing outside.

"Little Tao Tao, why haven't you been called yet?"

There were barriers in the corridor, so Xu Mingyuan didn't force his way in, but just called out from a distance.

Tao Shuxin heard Xu Mingyuan calling her and rushed over, angrily slapping him and saying, "Shh! Keep your voice down!"

"Hey, it's just a formality. You can get the certificate even if you do terribly on the written test, so what are you panicking about?" Xu Mingyuan said nonchalantly.

"Who said that? Interviews are very serious, okay!"

"I've already called your name, so hurry up and go over there."

"Huh? Oh oh oh!"

Tao Shuxin almost jumped up, then hurriedly ran back.

When she came out again, it was ten minutes later.

After the interview, Tao Shuxin kept muttering about the process, saying things like the interviewer gave too little time, she seemed a bit nervous, and her answers weren't fluent.

Tao Shuxin knew that this interview was just a formality, but she felt a little empty and uneasy because the most important certificate she had obtained in her three years of university had been obtained so easily.

The remaining university courses are basically over. For the Chinese Language and Literature major, the senior year courses are both important and unimportant. The main purpose is to prepare for the graduation defense, and there will be a lot of free time every day, giving students ample time to prepare for internships.

Tao Shuxin has no intention of taking the postgraduate entrance exam. It's not popular to take the exam nowadays, and taking two or three years off to study for a master's degree in the humanities, not engineering, wouldn't be very meaningful.

Wasting time is shameful in Tao Shuxin's eyes. Rather than spending a year playing around at school in her senior year, she would rather go out and learn about society earlier.

Moreover, Xu Mingyuan put too much pressure on her. Although he never brought it up, Tao Shuxin herself felt a little guilty.

Tao Shuxin is a girl who cares a lot about her reputation and doesn't want to feel inferior in front of Xu Mingyuan, even though he doesn't look down on her at all.

Yang Zhi couldn't understand why Tao Shuxin was dwelling on these issues. She already had enough to eat and wear, so why was she still dissatisfied? She just kept thinking about useless things all day long…

Tao Shuxin has more free time now, which makes Yang Zhi a little worried. She spends most of her week at home now, and she may be staying at home for even longer in the future.

But Yang Zhi was also happy when she thought that Tao Shuxin had actually decided to do an internship.

I still have classes to attend, so Xu Mingyuan will definitely be staying in Jiangcheng for a long time. It's unlikely that Tao Shuxin will stay in Jiangcheng for her internship, right?
Even though she was interning in Jiangcheng, she didn't have as much free time as he did. Besides, Tao Shuxin wasn't at school, so she could find all sorts of excuses to stay at home. After all, Xu Mingyuan was quite busy and couldn't possibly pick her up and drop her off at school every day.

I'm still very happy.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, what did you buy?"

Tao Shuxin opened the car door and saw several bags placed on the back seat.

"The hot pot base was sent by Su Muqing," Xu Mingyuan said.

"Hot pot base? No way, isn't that something like cosmetics or nutritional supplements?"

"Really? I don't know either. She installed the car herself with the keys."

"Hmm? Sister Qingqing came to Jiangda University?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"They arrived around nine o'clock, chatted for a while, and then left."

"Why did she leave? Didn't you invite her to stay for dinner? Oh dear, I haven't seen her for over two months," Tao Shuxin said.

"Why keep her here? Wouldn't it be better to go home and have a simple meal?" Yang Zhi interjected.

"Little Twig, this is all about human relationships. You have to repay favors when you receive them."

Tao Shuxin patiently educated Xiao Yangzhi. Xu Mingyuan never taught her these things, and when he couldn't bear to watch anymore, he had to say a few words himself.

"I don't owe her anything. If you don't want to pay her back, you can keep it yourself."

Yang Zhi didn't even glance at them; she wasn't interested even though Su Muqing had sent her nothing but gold bars.

"Sister Qingqing even gave us hot pot base, aren't you going to eat any of it?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"Don't eat."

Yang Zhi didn't hesitate at all, shaking her head like a rattle drum, the ends of her hair even hitting Tao Shuxin's face.

"Your brother is eating, so why aren't you eating?"

"This..." Yang Zhi hesitated for a long time before finally making up her mind and saying, "I won't eat it."

"Xu Mingyuan, aren't you going to say something to her?"

Tao Shuxin was at her wit's end again and immediately sought help.

"Going to the farmers' market, I'll have hot pot for lunch at home today."

Xu Mingyuan didn't want to argue about trivial matters, but he also didn't want to offend Xiao Taotao, so he could only support her with his actions.
