When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

Bai Ruoxi finally couldn't wait any longer and took out her phone.

She swiped her phone screen and tapped into a rather basic app.

This app looks like it was made by a private individual; it doesn't have any fancy UI pages.

Only the most simple and unadorned content.

Once you click on it, you'll see a map-like content.

A red dot was lit up near Licheng University, and after lingering for a long time, it began to move.

Is my brother just getting out of school now?

Bai Ruoxi blinked her slightly puffy eyes, looking a little puzzled.

Could it be that another evening class has been added now?

However, judging from the trajectory of the red dot on the map, it should be heading towards our side.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Bai Ruoxi's face for a moment.

That's great, my brother hasn't abandoned me yet.

He will still come to pick up Ruoxi.

"Huh? Ruoxi, hasn't your brother come to pick you up yet?"

A middle-aged woman's voice came through.

Upon hearing other people's voices, Bai Ruoxi immediately stopped smiling.

She calmly exited the personalized app and placed her phone on her lap with the screen off.

"not yet."

Bai Ruoxi spoke quite politely to that middle-aged woman.

There was no longer that aloof indifference that kept people at arm's length.

After all, this was her tutor at school, named Li Suqin.

"Oh, right, since you haven't gone back yet, I have some good news for you."

Li Suqin walked over with a smile, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Um?"

"The results for our school's competition have been announced, and you're on the list."

Halfway through her speech, Li Suqin's eyes were full of admiration.

"You'll truly showcase your talent when you compete in competitions outside the province!"

"oh."

Bai Ruoxi wasn't particularly surprised; she simply nodded calmly.

She was still gazing at the end of the road, hoping that her brother's figure would appear there at the next moment.

Li Suqin wasn't too surprised.

After all, as Bai Ruoxi's mentor, I know her quite well.

"Make preparations then... I'll just talk to your brother about this."

"Uh-huh!"

Bai Ruoxi's face lit up with a smile whenever her brother was mentioned.

But when will my brother come...?

While waiting, Li Suqin talked to Bai Ruoxi about the competition.

However, most of the discussion revolves around the content and the prestige of the awards.

"Oh, right, there are also arrangements for the competition outside the province..."

Before Li Suqin could finish speaking, she saw Bai Ruoxi stand up.

She followed her gaze and saw a figure riding a bicycle towards her.

"Brother, why are you so late today?"

"Well... I'm busy with things for the amusement park event!"

Bai Yu immediately made up a reason.

If you're honest and straightforward... who knows what strange things you'll end up experiencing.

After all, she was practicing piano in the same room as an older female student.

This man and woman alone together...

Hmm, even that sounds misleading.

"A garden party?"

Bai Ruoxi was puzzled; she hadn't heard her brother mention this before.

"I know that. Licheng University opens the school to a garden party every April."

Li Suqin, standing to the side, spoke with a smile, her face kind.

"Let's just treat it as a holiday event."

"Is that so...?"

Bai Ruoxi nodded thoughtfully and looked up into Bai Yu's eyes.

"Um...brother, can I go? I want to go to the amusement park with you."

As soon as he said that, Bai Yu sensed something was wrong.

You should know that the younger sister is very averse to the girls around her.

Two girls have already made reservations.

One is the class monitor, and the other is Mu Anqi.

If I reject Bai Ruoxi...

She was about to vent her anger on herself again, crying and saying that her brother didn't want Ruoxi anymore.

This is really difficult to deal with...

Just as Bai Yu was feeling troubled, she immediately came up with a new reason.

"Ruoxi, it's not that your brother doesn't want to take you, it's just that there's no other way."

Bai Yu feigned regret as he spoke.

"Don't you have class? If you guys have the day off too, I'll agree..."

"A minor issue!"

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, Li Suqin interrupted him.

She patted her chest at Bai Yu, her smile full of kindness.

"I have the authority to grant Bai Ruoxi a day off on my own."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoxi's eyes lit up immediately.

Great!

Bai Yu's heart was instantly shattered into pieces by the divine lightning of the heavens.

broken!

"this......"

"There's more good news: your sister will be representing the school in a competition in another province... With her skill level, I think winning a gold medal shouldn't be a problem."

Li Suqin spoke with a smile, her tone full of pride for her prized student.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Bai Yu couldn't spoil Bai Ruoxi's mood, so he gently patted her head.

When her brother patted her head, Bai Ruoxi's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.

I really like it.

"However, this competition will last for a week and is divided into three stages."

Li Suqin began to explain some of the arrangements for the competition.

"This means your sister will be with our team for a week. We know she won't be staying at school and will be going home, so we wanted to let you know. We don't know if you agree."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu began to think.

So, Bai Ruoxi is going on a business trip for a week?

You can participate in competitions or something.

It's good that I don't have to be so tired, and I can stay in that senior's music room a little longer after school.

"certainly......"

Bai Yu was interrupted by Bai Ruoxi before she could finish speaking.

"not good."

"what?"

"what?"

Both Li Suqin and Bai Yu were stunned and looked at Bai Ruoxi at the same time.

She raised her slightly swollen eyes and hid slightly behind Bai Yu.

"So long...does that mean I won't see my brother for a very long time?"

"Only seven days, it'll be quick..."

"No, I want my brother to be next to me."

"this......"

Li Suqin was also at a loss.

To say there's anything wrong with one's favorite student...

Aside from her overly attached brother, I really can't think of anyone else.

"It's okay, go to the competition and win an award. Your brother will be proud of you."

Bai Yu smiled and patted her head again.

Bai Ruoxi, who was just a little unhappy, smiled and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons after being patted on the head.

I really like it.

"If all else fails, we can make a video call; that way we can still see each other."

"Yes, yes, that's what your brother said."

Seeing that Bai Yu was helping her out, Li Suqin quickly chimed in.

"All right......"
