The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

The next day, when Xu Nian opened her eyes, she found her younger sister staring at the computer screen with a furrowed brow.

Good morning, Little Creek.

He rubbed his eyes and greeted them.

Xu Xi ignored him and just kept working on the computer, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Xu Nian sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

At this time in the past, his younger sister would always run into his arms and ask for a good morning kiss.

But today, she seems like a completely different person.

Perhaps he is concentrating on something?

Thinking of this, Xu Nian stopped talking, quietly got dressed, and planned to go downstairs to prepare breakfast.

"Brother, did you use my computer last night?"

"Um... I saw you were asleep, so I turned off the computer for you..."

Xu Nian scratched her head, inexplicably feeling as if she had done something wrong.

Because the younger sister's words were spoken in a very cold tone.

The girl looked at him with a mixture of anger and helplessness in her eyes.

In the end, it all turned into a sigh.

"Brother, next time if I forget to turn off the computer, if you see it, just leave it there, you don't need to touch it."

"Oh...okay..."

Xu Nian nodded in agreement, and then asked.

"Did I... break your computer?"

Xu Xi sighed and gently shook her head.

She didn't have time to save the document before falling asleep last night.

Her brother's act of turning off the power made all the editing she had done over the past few hours pointless.

Moreover, it's possible that my brother accidentally pressed some key while shutting down the computer, causing part of the document's content to be missing.

I tried all morning but couldn't recover the data.

She knew that her brother had acted unintentionally, so she didn't want to tell him about the consequences.

This will put pressure on the older brother.

Garlic bird, garlic bird, at worst I'll just sleep a few hours less each night and make up for the lost time.

Although her younger sister didn't say anything, Xu Nian still felt very guilty.

He knew he must have done something wrong.

Judging from the younger sister's reaction, this is quite a big deal.

Xu Xi forced a smile, took her brother's hand in a comforting gesture, and rubbed it in his palm.

"It's okay, brother, I want to eat your dumplings."

"Okay, I'll make it for you."

Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and went downstairs as if she had been granted a pardon.

"Aaaaaaah! Big brother, you big idiot! You're such a bad guy! You're a villain!"

Xu Xi threw the pillow on the bedside table, muttering words of reproach, and punched the soft pillow again and again.

After a while, all the pent-up emotions in my heart were released.

"Cough cough cough..."

Perhaps she had hit too hard and exhausted her strength, because she started coughing uncontrollably again.

Xu Xi gently patted her chest and subconsciously reached out to find a glass of water.

She turned her head and saw the thermos on the bedside table.

She picked up the thermos and noticed a note stuck to the cap.

It was written on it in crooked handwriting:

Little Stream, when you wake up, remember to drink this medicine.

I tasted it for you; it's not bitter, it's sweet.

The girl's lips curled up slightly.

She held the thermos to her chest and gently rubbed her forehead against the cap.

She has a very bad memory and can't remember the bad things her brother has done.

She has a very good memory and can remember all the good things her brother has done for her.

......

After going downstairs to eat breakfast, Xu Nian took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash, while Xu Xi tidied her clothes in front of the mirror.

"Little Stream, which school are you going to today?"

Xu Nian asked.

Xu Xi thought for a moment: "If we have enough time, we'll go to the vocational school again before we build the school."

"Are Wen Yao and the others going too?"

"They didn't go. They've been running around with me for so long, so I gave them a day off."

Xu Nian lowered her head and said softly.

"Then...can I go with you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xi frowned slightly.

"Brother, didn't I tell you? I'll take care of making money. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. You should stay home and rest."

Ever since her brother was in a car accident, Xu Xi subconsciously placed a stay-at-home order on him.

Whenever her brother suggested going out, she would come up with all sorts of excuses to keep him there, unless there was a reason she couldn't refuse.

She was terrified that her brother would meet with misfortune again.

The safest option is to keep my brother at home.

You never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

"I've fully recovered..."

Xu Nian patted her thigh, making a "thump thump" sound.

"It was fine when you went together before, you could look after each other, but now that you're going alone, I'm a little worried..."

As he spoke, his voice trailed off even lower.

Actually, this is only part of the reason.

Another reason was that he wanted to see if there was anything he could do to help his sister.

He felt really guilty for staying at home enjoying the peace and quiet while leaving his younger sister to venture out on her own.

Xu Xi sighed as she looked at her brother's anxiously fidgeting hands.

She stood on tiptoe and put the cotton hat on her brother.

"Brother, you'll be walking a long way. If your legs feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell me right away."

"Okay, I understand."

Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and helped her sister tie up her hair.

......

The two hailed a taxi and headed straight for the school.

Yuncheng City Construction University is a second-tier university.

Even within the province, it is not a particularly outstanding university.

Therefore, the number of students on campus is not large.

This also means that if you were to do delivery at this school, the order volume wouldn't be as high as at Yunnan University.

In the taxi, Xu Xi held a tablet and carefully analyzed the relevant information about the school's establishment.

The number of students, the surrounding business district, and the reputation of the canteen are all key factors influencing whether a university can become the next institution to have Xiaoxi Canteen located there.

A short while later, the taxi came to a smooth stop in front of the school gate.

"Little Stream, where should we go first?"

Standing at the school gate, Xu Nian asked her younger sister.

"Let's go and see the school."

"Go to school?"

Xu Nian raised an eyebrow.

He believed that his sister would at most take a stroll around the neighborhood to see how many shops were nearby.

As for getting into school, that's a pipe dream.

Firstly, it's currently winter break, so the school should be closed.

Furthermore, they aren't even students at this school, so how did they get in?

Xu Xi smiled calmly and gestured for her brother to follow her.

When she arrived at the guardhouse, she gently knocked on the windowpane.

"Student, the school is under lockdown. Please come back when school starts."

The security guard opened the window and said impatiently to Xu Xi.

He was still holding a mobile game he was halfway through playing. Now the screen was flickering and the picture turned gray, which made him even more resentful towards Xu Xi.
