His expression softened. "What question?"

When Rong Jingshuo woke up, he found that the curtains on the opposite bed were drawn.

I checked the time and realized something was wrong.

He vaguely heard Jiang Jihe's voice as he got out of bed, which was tinged with laughter.

Before he went to sleep, Jiang Jihe asked him if he could give the trophy to Yue Baiqing, because Yue Baiqing wanted it.

Shouldn't you be taking the trophy to find the person now? How come the trophy is still there, and the person is still there too?

She must be on the phone with Yue Baiqing, her smile is so alluring.

Until he heard Jiang Jihe say:

"Okay, we'll play again next time. Goodnight, Ningning."

Rong Jingshuo was startled.

Turning his head, he saw Jiang Jihe pulling back the bed curtains to get down. He couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you going to find Le Baiqing?"

He paused as he got out of bed, as if he had just remembered that there was such a thing.

"Ningning wanted the trophy as a souvenir, so I told her I would give it to her."

"After all, she's my brother's sister, so I should take better care of her."

Rong Jingshuo agreed, "My little sister is so cute, we should definitely give her to her first."

Just then, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

Jiang Jihe got out of bed and opened the door, wondering why Wen Yuesheng was back so late.

Isn't Wen Zhining alone at home?

When I opened the door, it was a male classmate I didn't recognize.

The other person recognized him and said after he opened the door, "Your girlfriend is waiting downstairs in our dormitory. She says she wants to see you."

After saying that, the other person left.

"Looks like they don't want to let you off the hook," Rong Jingshuo teased.

Jiang Jihe went downstairs.

As expected, Yue Baiqing was waiting for him under the shade of the tree.

The night air was cool.

When Yue Baiqing saw him, she quickly went up to him and said, "Ahe."

"Why are you still out at night?" Jiang Jihe asked, seemingly puzzled.

"Did you give her the trophy?" Yue Baiqing asked.

"Not yet. I don't have class tomorrow, I'll go see her."

Tomorrow is Sunday, so Wen Zhining doesn't need to go to school.

"Why? I asked for it first, and you even agreed?"

Le Baiqing missed his competition and wanted to take the trophy back to show off to her roommates, which he agreed to.

But the next second, when she asked when he would give it to her, he suddenly stopped replying.

After a while, he sent a message: "[Sorry Bai Qing, Wen Yuesheng's younger sister wanted it, and I promised to give it to her.]"

"Bai Qing, if she likes you, just give it to her. You're older than her, be more generous," he said.

Le Baiqing's expression froze, staring at him in disbelief. "You mean, my boyfriend promised to give me something, and just because of something someone else's sister said, I should be generous and give it up?"

"Do you want me to reject her, and then I'll be caught in the middle in front of Wen Yuesheng?" he retorted, adding, "He's my brother."

Every word seemed reasonable, and he explained slowly and methodically with a good temper, making Le Baiqing's bad mood feel like it was hitting cotton, with nowhere to vent.

"Bai Qing, you met her today too. She's sensible and polite. When you appeared, she went to the side to wait. That's why she was harassed by other men."

Le Baiqing stared at him in shock.

She couldn't believe he was using this to pressure her and even blaming her.

"I'm not blaming you, and she isn't blaming you either, but she wanted the trophy, so consider this your compensation to her."

"Besides, that's a trophy we won."

He wasn't looking at her as he spoke; his gaze swept elsewhere, then he looked at the big tree behind her and seemed to lose focus for a moment.

Coming to his senses, he continued, "Alright, it's getting late, you should head back to your dorm."

Watching his figure disappear into the dormitory, Le Baiqing remained standing there, stiffly turning her head to look at the place he had just looked at.

Wen Zhining stood in that spot today.

When Le Baiqing returned to her dormitory, she was still thinking about what Jiang Jihe had told her.

Jiang Jihe actually came up with such a reason to force Wen Zhining to give up the trophy.

He seems to have changed.

They've become able to find excuses.

"Qingqing, you're back?" Her roommate looked at her hands when she saw her return.

Seeing their hands empty, they asked in confusion, "Didn't you tell us that Jiang Jihe gave you the basketball trophy they played with? You also said you'd bring it back to show us later, why didn't you bring it back?"

Le Baiqing stared at her, making the other woman uncomfortable. Just as she thought she had said something wrong, she heard her say:

"Why are you so concerned about my affairs?" Le Baiqing sneered. "It's my boyfriend's basketball trophy, what's it to you? I can keep it somewhere else if I want."

"I know you like my boyfriend."

"Don't even think about it. He's mine. You can never be with him in your entire life."

Her roommate blushed and turned pale after hearing what she said, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Le Baiqing ignored her and climbed into bed.

The other three roommates were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

What's wrong with Yue Baiqing now?

On Sunday, Wen Zhining slept until she naturally woke up.

After washing up, I opened the door, still half asleep, and slowly walked to the living room. "Brother, what are we having for dinner today?"

"There's nothing to eat," Wen Yuesheng said irritably. "What can you eat when you're asleep past 1 a.m.?"

Wen Zhining scoffed, "I don't believe you don't sleep when you don't have classes at school."

As they were arguing, the bathroom door opened, and Jiang Jihe came out.

Wen Zhining was stunned, with a single hair standing on end on her head, looking both cute and a little dazed.

Jiang Jihe laughed out loud, "Ningning, good afternoon."

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Wen Zhining quickly straightened her clothes.

"I'm bringing you a trophy." Jiang Jihe raised his hand, but in the end, he still touched her ahoge (cowlick) twice.

His eyes were full of laughter, a truly delightful laugh. "Why are you up so late?"

"I have to get up at six every day for school, so of course I have to sleep in on weekends." She didn't understand his actions, but she still smiled and leaned in front of him, letting him touch her.

She linked her arm with his, her posture full of dependence, yet there was a subtle distance between them.

"Brother, what do you think? Shouldn't we do it this way?" She looked up at him. "My brother was just saying I've been sleeping all this time and I still haven't eaten anything."

"That was definitely his fault," he agreed, not resisting her actions, and fiddling with her ahoge (cowlick).

They held hands yesterday.

"Or should I take you out to eat?" Jiang Jihe asked.

"Okay!" She nodded happily and immediately ran into the bedroom to change her clothes.

Jiang Jihe wanted to give her the trophy, but she dashed into the room in a flash.

Just as I sat back down on the sofa, I heard Wen Yuesheng say, "You're taking people out to eat? Won't I reheat my lunch?"

He cooked and ate around 10 o'clock.

Jiang Jihe also arrived early in the morning with his trophy, had a free meal, and waited for quite a while.

"It's alright, I'm free today anyway, I'll take her out for a bite to eat." Jiang Jihe picked up the trophy, "You can also go to the company later."

In the second semester of their freshman year, they started their own business, opening a small company. The startup fund provided by the school is still profitable.

The four brothers were partners.

Xue Peng went back to the company last night to check on the situation and slept there.

"With Lao Xue watching over me, I'd better go back to school and finish my homework."

"Keep an eye on her and don't buy her any more milk tea," Wen Yuesheng instructed.

"Okay." Jiang Jihe replied. Hearing the door open, he turned his head and looked over. The corners of his lips curved up when he heard her voice.

"elder brother."
