The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

Then Xin Ning sent a voice message: "An, you'll see your brother soon~"

She must have been whispering because everyone around her was still asleep, but even so, the joy in her voice was still evident. I smiled and replied, "Go to the bathroom and brush your teeth first. I brought you breakfast."

Then she sent a picture of a cat nodding to indicate that she had received it.

After a half-hour drive, I arrived at the station, parked my car in the parking lot, and waited at the exit.

Half an hour later, I finally saw Xin Ning, who was wearing a short sundress and a white fisherman's hat. She was struggling to drag a large suitcase to the exit. She looked at the dark crowd in front of her and seemed a little flustered. She looked around but couldn't find me. At this moment, a boy approached her. She seemed a little lost. I subconsciously pushed through the crowd in front of me and quickly walked to Xin Ning.

"No need to trouble yourself, I'm her brother, I'll help her carry it."

The boy paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and wisely walked away.

As I turned around to check on Xin Ning, she put down her suitcase and hugged me. I instinctively reached out to pat her head, but then realized she was wearing a hat.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, brother, Xin Ning misses you so much~"

There were many people around, and standing here was blocking the way, so I suggested, "Let's go outside first, there are too many people here."

Xin Ning nodded obediently, then let go of my arms. I helped her lift her suitcase with one hand, while she naturally took my other arm, looking like a little bird clinging to me.

On the way to the parking lot, I asked her, "Nothing happened on the way here, right?"

Xin Ning shook her head and said, "Nothing, I was just a little uncomfortable at first, but when I found that the older sisters on both sides were very easy to talk to, I gradually got used to it, and we even added each other on WeChat and became good friends~"

I was a little surprised. In the past, when Xin Ning went out to eat or play with me, she was always timid and shy around strangers, let alone taking the initiative to make friends with strangers. She has made a lot of progress in the past six months. Moreover, I glanced at her and although she has not grown any taller and is about the same height as Luo Yao, her figure has indeed become more beautiful and graceful. She is now a beautiful young woman.

"Xin Ning is much better than before, so your brother has to reward you!"

"Then brother owes me two rewards~"

"Two rewards?" I was a little taken aback.

Xin Ning's previously cheerful face instantly fell, and she said, "Brother, have you forgotten what you promised Xin Ning?"

I would rather cut off my own arm than see my sister looking so wronged. My mind raced, recalling the things I had said to her before, and I finally remembered that I had promised to reward her for getting into Shanghai Jiao Tong University during our last phone call.

"How could I forget what I promised Xin Ning? It was just a reward for getting into Jiaotong University, I was just joking with you..."

Hua Xinning flashed her sweet smile once again.

When we arrived at the parking lot, I opened the trunk and put Xin Ning's suitcase inside.

After getting into the car, Xin Ning asked curiously, "Is this my brother's car?"

As I fastened my seatbelt, I said, "It belongs to a friend of mine."

"It must be a female friend's?" Xin Ning guessed.

"how do you know?"

"Because the decorations on the car are all styles that girls like, you're so silly, brother..."

I reached out and tickled her armpit, pretending to be angry and scolding her, "How dare you call your brother stupid? I've given you too much freedom!"

"I was wrong, brother, please let me go, it really itches, Xin Ning won't do it again..." Xin Ning twisted her body trying to escape my clutches, but unfortunately the space in the car was not big, so she could only let me scold her.

I stopped my groping and threatened her, "Do you still dare to insult your brother's dignity?"

Xin Ning stared at me with her big, watery eyes, shaking her little head frantically, looking like she was still shaken.

I pretended to reach out my two claws to her armpits, which scared her so much that she hugged herself tightly. I sat up straight with satisfaction. Although I don't allow others to bully Xin Ning, I like to tease and scare her, and I like to see her begging for mercy as her older brother. Then I inexplicably feel the authority of an older brother. I don't know if I'm the only one with this childish and wicked sense of humor...

But the next second, Xin Ning burst out laughing, as if she had been holding it in for a long time, and said, "Brother only knows this one move, but I'm not afraid at all!"

I suddenly felt my newly established authority as an older brother crumble. I couldn't believe that after half a year apart, she wasn't even afraid of me anymore. I turned to her, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Really? I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve. You'll regret this."

"I'm not afraid at all! I'm an adult now, so don't think you can bully me so easily in the future!" Xin Ning puffed out her well-developed chest, crossed her arms in front of her, and raised her chin slightly, looking fearless.

Seeing that she was already a grown woman, I suddenly realized that if I didn't tickle her armpits, how else could I give her a piece of my mind? For a moment, meeting her gaze, I felt awkward, as if I really couldn't do anything to her...

I casually took out the breakfast I had prepared that morning and said, "Eat breakfast, I'll scold you after you've finished..."

Xin Ning took off her hat, took the lunchbox, and said with a little smugness, "Hehe, brother can't do anything about me, can he?"

I gave her a light tap on the forehead and said irritably, "You'd better not regret it when I figure out how to teach you a lesson!"

Xin Ning pouted and rubbed her forehead, muttering, "Brother only knows how to be violent, so rude..."

Chapter 2, Chapter 57. I Don't Mind If My Brother Has a Girlfriend (Second Update)

Upon entering the university, I saw freshmen and their parents everywhere on campus. I also had to lead Xin Ning to her class, Class 1 of the School of Management, to register. Since each grade has its own counselor, I couldn't directly process her enrollment documents.

But there are still green channels available. For example, some of my students are among the senior students who are currently handling the information for new students.

To avoid making Xin Ning stand in line for too long, I cut in front of the queue. Unexpectedly, the person in charge of this group was Luo Bai, who was acting very professionally, helping the younger students with their enrollment documents. He even asked a female student if she needed his help moving her things to her dorm. Of course, the student politely declined, saying her boyfriend would help her…

"There is a female student here who has something urgent to attend to, so please make way for the students behind her."

After I finished speaking, I walked to the back of the line and led Xin Ning, who was standing obediently in line, over, but she seemed a little embarrassed.

"Brother, let's wait in line. It's really embarrassing to cut in line like this..."

My silly sister, there are more than twenty people ahead of us. If each person only gets five minutes, how long will we have to wait?

"It's nothing, your brother has a thick skin."

“But…” Hua Xinning still hesitated.

I knew that with her introverted nature, she wouldn't dare to say a word even if someone cut in line for her, let alone cut in line. So I had to forcibly pull her to the front. With that, and given her exceptional beauty, many people around us turned to look. Being stared at by so many people, she shyly hid behind me, her face flushed.

"This student has something urgent to attend to, so please take care of it for her first, understand?"

Luo Bai didn't know what was going on, but he knew that listening to his boss was always the right thing to do, especially since she was a pretty junior from elementary school. He was extremely happy about it.

"Please sit down first, junior. Let me check your enrollment information."

Xin Ning glanced at me, and after receiving my affirmation, she obediently sat on the stool, but only sat on half of it, her body pressed against me.

After looking at the information for about two minutes, Luo Bai said to Hua Xinning with a big smile, "Your photo on your ID card is already pretty enough, but you're even more beautiful in person!"

Just when Luo Bai thought his usual tricks would make the junior girl blush, he didn't expect to get a slap on the back of the head.

I glared at him fiercely and warned in a very low voice, "You dare to flirt with my sister! Didn't you see that her surname is also Hua in the records?"

Luo Bai rubbed the back of his head, which was throbbing with pain, and looked at me with an incredulous expression, as if to say, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

After my warning, Luo Bai dared not flirt anymore and efficiently finished processing the enrollment materials in less than three minutes, unlike the previous students who took five minutes. I suspected that he was abusing his position for personal gain and was clearly taking the time to chat with the female student...

After completing the enrollment procedures, I led Xin Ning towards the girls' dormitory of the School of Management. Xin Ning held my hand, while I carried her suitcase with my other hand. There were many new female students in the school who held their fathers' hands very intimately, and as the eldest brother, I played the role of the parent.

"Brother, am I really going to have to live in the dormitory from now on?" Xin Ning asked somewhat reluctantly.

"You're already in college, what are you afraid of? Living in the dorm can even help you get to know your roommates better."

Xin Ning used to attend a boarding school, but she never lived at the school because she felt uncomfortable living with seven other people. It wasn't that she was unsociable, but she was just introverted since childhood and really couldn't adapt to boarding school life, finding many things inconvenient.

Xin Ning looked up at me pleadingly and said, "Brother, can I stay in your apartment?"

"Absolutely not!" I shouted instinctively.

Xin Ning was startled by my sudden and intense reaction, and then asked in confusion, "Why not...?"

I initially considered using the excuse that my ex-girlfriend, Mo Jia, was living with me, but I quickly changed my mind. I remembered telling Xin Ning a long time ago that I wanted to find a girlfriend to be her older sister, and Xin Ning immediately burst into tears, saying that I wouldn't spoil my younger sister anymore. She even went on to argue that there were many things a girlfriend could do that she couldn't. I wanted to say that there were plenty of things you couldn't do... but seeing her crying so hard, I kept my relationship with Mo Jia a secret from her, only telling my parents and instructing them to keep it a secret from Xin Ning...

Seeing that I remained silent, Xin Ning changed her tone and asked suspiciously, "Does my brother have a girlfriend? She's the owner of that car today. Is it because my moving in will disturb you?"

"No, that's not true. You're overthinking it. Your brother is single..."

Bi Antong and I are living together, how could I let Xin Ning move in? If she finds out that Bi Antong and I are living together, and then tells my parents, it's very unusual for a teacher and student to live together, and it's easy for people to have all sorts of wild ideas, after all, we're not a couple...

"Brother, just tell me the truth. I won't mind if you have a girlfriend..." Hua Xinning said kindly.

I glanced at her in surprise. I hadn't expected her to not mind at all. It seemed she had grown up and become more sensible. But what was that inexplicable sense of loss in my heart? I think it was because my younger sister no longer monopolized me like before...

"What I just said is the truth. I really don't have a girlfriend... It's not that I don't want you to stay here, I just hope you can better integrate into university life and make more friends."

After much persuasion and pleading, Xin Ning finally stopped pressing me for answers and agreed to board at the school.

As if on cue, Bi Antong appeared. As Xin Ning and I passed by the teaching building, we ran into her walking towards it. It seemed to be time for class. I greeted her, but she glanced at me, then at Hua Xin Ning who was holding my hand, and then ignored me, walking past me expressionlessly...

I don't understand what's going on. Didn't I already make her happy last night? I made her honey water and dried her hair for her...

I wondered if she was embarrassed to respond to me in front of so many students. Surprisingly, this girl is quite shy.

"Who is she? She doesn't seem very polite to my brother..."

"She's my student. She probably forgot to wear her contact lenses today, so she didn't see me clearly..."

Then we arrived at the girls' dormitory building of the School of Management. I carried my heavy suitcase upstairs, and Xin Ning wanted to help, but I refused. Let my brother do this heavy work.

On such a hot day, carrying such a heavy suitcase, my forehead was already sweating. Xin Ning thoughtfully took out a tissue to wipe my sweat, and at that moment I saw Lu Xiaojun rushing downstairs.

"Xiaojun, are you rushing to class?"

Lu Xiaojun stopped, glanced at me, then at Hua Xinning who was considerately wiping my sweat, and then, just like Bi Antong, ignored me, walking past me with her head down, seemingly lost in thought...

I'm so confused, did all of them forget to bring their contact lenses?

(More to come today, to be continued)

Chapter 3, Chapter 58. The Orange Tree's Momentum is Excellent (Third Update)

I could understand Bi Antong's coldness towards me as embarrassment, but why was Lu Xiaojun, who was usually so outgoing, suddenly ignoring me? Just as I was wondering what was going on, Xin Ning, who was wiping my sweat, asked, "Was that senior sister also your student, brother?"

I snapped out of my daze and nodded awkwardly, feeling somewhat embarrassed in front of my sister. I had been ignored by two students in a row. Would this leave a bad impression on Xin Ning that her brother lacked professional ethics as a teacher?

I quickly explained, "She was probably rushing to class, so she didn't have time to say goodbye. You know, attendance is taken in university classes, and absences will affect your final grade, so we have to understand..."

Xin Ning gave a half-believing "Oh," and then inexplicably said, "The two senior girls you greeted earlier were so pretty. You must know them well, right?"

Anyone with a decent eye for beauty can see that. Of course, I think my younger sister is no less beautiful than them, so I praised her, "Xin Ning is very pretty too. She's so pretty that I don't want you to find a boyfriend. I wonder which scoundrel will end up with her. I'll definitely tear him apart and make sure he doesn't dare to lay a finger on our Hua family's most precious treasure."

Hua Xinning blushed slightly at my praise and scolded playfully, "What nonsense are you talking about, brother? You didn't understand what I meant at all..."

"I understand, you're praising them for being pretty, so you want your brother to praise you too, right?" I think Xin Ning doesn't need to belittle herself at all; her face has been kissed by angels.

"Brother, wipe it yourself!" But Xin Ning suddenly became petulant and shoved the tissue into my hand, instead of considerately wiping her brother's sweat.
