The row of boys hanging on the wall stared in disbelief.
"Holy crap, Young Master Bai, this is really beautiful. I'm sure of it, this is my future wife."
Wu Ji's words were overheard by the students next to him, who loudly objected.
"Wrong, this is my wife!"
"You're dreaming! This is my wife!"
They didn't even know the little girl's name, yet a few people started a group fight over her.
Bai Weiran didn't join the battle; he just watched from the sidelines. When Wu Ji defeated everyone and gave Bai Weiran a victory sign, Bai Weiran, who was obsessed with his sister, punched him hard in the face and added a declaration of ownership.
That's my sister.
The people present were shocked.
Holy crap, are you sure you had the same parents?
But upon closer inspection, one can see that the two do indeed have similarities.
Unlike her quiet and reserved older brother, who only reads about his century of solitude upon entering school, Bai Shimo, the younger sister of the Bai family, is born with a knack for trending on social media, and she became a trending topic as soon as she entered school.
Regardless of appearance, academic performance, or club activities, she excels in every aspect, just like someone else's child.
But she is neither a well-behaved and innocent girl in the traditional sense, nor a rebellious and aloof fairy.
Bai Shimo usually shares some similarities with Bai Weiran; both are rational people who focus on the facts.
But Bai Shimo was more mischievous than Bai Weiran. She loved playing pranks and was less disciplined. Sometimes she would squint her eyes and curl the corners of her lips, clearly having a bad idea in mind.
They are also careless and like to do unexpected things.
It was just to test the waters and be curious about how others would react.
She wasn't annoyed when scolded; her eyes sparkled with happiness, as if she had been praised.
This contrast between rationality and wickedness captivated a group of junior and senior high school students at the time.
Knowing that she had an older brother in the high school, a bunch of people came to fawn over her, calling Bai Weiran "brother-in-law".
Wu Ji still remembers it vividly.
How did Bai Weiran achieve his only top ranking in the high school division?
That's definitely a plot from a wish-fulfillment novel.
The Bai siblings are known for their close relationship.
A male student in the high school who liked Bai Shimo went up to Bai Weiran and issued a challenge, saying that if he could beat Bai Weiran in the next midterm exam, he hoped that Bai Weiran could introduce him to Bai Shimo.
They were shrewd individuals who knew the Bai siblings had a good relationship, so they approached the older brother to make their move.
Wu Ji and a group of people were eating watermelon on the side, enjoying its sweetness and fragrance.
Bai Weiran closed the book "A Century of Solitude" and responded slowly and deliberately.
“My sister is a jerk, I can’t make decisions for her, and I can’t make a bet.”
Everyone thought it was over and they were losing interest, but Bai Weiran had more to say.
"...But I'm willing to bet with you myself."
"How about this, if you beat me in the next midterm exam, I won't stop you. If you lose to me, then disappear from my and my sister's lives, okay?"
Everyone: …………! ?
Use the gentlest tone to say the harshest things.
The sense of brotherhood is gradually rising, but at this point, no one has yet grasped the true value of the term "brotherhood."
Just treat this as a difficult challenge.
After all, although Bai Weiran had excellent grades, he was only ranked outside the top 50 in the school at that time.
The student who came to challenge him was a consistent top-five student in the school.
Sigh, if they just work hard, they can be number one.
How can we fight this?
Could this be a match where points were deliberately given away?
Even Wu Ji felt that Bai Weiran's move was ill-considered.
Then, in the next midterm exam, Bai Weiran topped the school rankings, while the boy who had studied desperately was pushed to second place despite his excellent grades. The difference of one place was like an insurmountable chasm, and he was defeated with his head down in dejection.
The homeroom teacher was amazed by Bai Weiran's progress, praised him highly, and asked the students to learn from Bai Weiran.
Wu Ji and his classmates were sitting in the audience at the time, feeling like a million grass mud horses were galloping through their minds.
How do I learn this?
Should I go home and ask my mom to have another baby girl?
Sister complex, terrifying indeed.
But it only happened once.
When the next final exam came, Bai Weiran leisurely returned to being ranked outside the top fifty, remaining calm and composed.
When classmates asked him about that miraculous first place ranking in the school, he would politely reply with a single sentence.
"I was lucky at the time."
Everyone thought: [Oh no, he's caught us!]
Wu Ji thought so too.
But he got along well with Bai Weiran and often saw Bai Shimo.
Bai Shimo would occasionally come to the high school gate, and if she forgot her stationery or something, she would run to her brother for help.
Once, when Bai Weiran was away, Wu Ji smiled and told Bai Shimo about their original agreement.
"Your brother got first place in the school exam for your sake. Isn't that amazing? Aren't you touched?"
Wu Ji thought Bai Shimo would have tears welling up in her eyes, filled with admiration and sighs, but to his surprise, Bai Shimo simply tilted her head, her eyes deep, and gave a giggle.
"Huh? Isn't this how it should be?"
"If he can't even do this much, how can he be Shimo's brother? No way, to be Shimo's brother, this is essential."
"...And what if he dares to lose Shimo to someone else..."
Bai Shimo's expression startled Wu Ji, sending a chill down his spine.
Just then, Bai Weiran returned, interrupting Bai Shimo before she could finish speaking.
Wu Ji felt as if he had been granted a pardon and breathed a sigh of relief.
—Some things are better left unknown.
He patted Bai Weiran on the shoulder to show his sympathy.
Brother, you've had it tough too.
Bai Weiran looked back at him with the same kind of concern one would show to a mentally ill person.
But Wu Ji only truly understood what kind of person Bai Shimo was after Mu Nanfeng broke up with him.
It was autumn then, and the ginkgo trees on campus had all turned golden.
Just as Wu Ji was about to enjoy the last bottle of soda he had stolen from the convenience store, he was told that someone was looking for him.
He looked up blankly and found that his classmates were casting envious and jealous glances at him. Following their directions, he saw Bai Shimo, wearing her junior high school uniform and pretty pleated skirt, waiting for him.
With an innocent and naive look on her face, her hands behind her back, her gentle and adorable appearance captivated all the boys in the class.
She called out to him softly and waved to him happily.
"Senior Wu Ji, I've come to find you!"
All the male students in the class glared at him angrily, while alarm bells rang loudly in Wu Ji's mind.
Bai Shimo never called him "senior".
They all followed Bai Weiran's lead and called him Wu Ji.
He once wanted to experience being an older brother and tease Bai Shimo by calling him Brother Wu Ji.
...That outcome... Wu Ji didn't want to recall it at all.
Conclusion: Both sister complex and brother complex should be classified as dangerous species in this world.
So when Bai Shimo shouted that, Wu Ji immediately felt something was wrong.
Although he hadn't done anything, he just felt something was wrong, so he simply lay down on his desk and pretended to be dead or have a stomachache, refusing to go out. However, the other good classmates were so infatuated with Bai Shimo calling him "senior" that they actually carried him and his desk outside, packed them up, and gave them to Bai Shimo.
He had to be dragged along by Bai Shimo.
Behind the deserted school building, the angelic face's smile instantly changed, and her eyes darkened.
"...Hey, Wu Ji, tell me, what did Mu Nanfeng say to my brother?"
That day, Wu Ji learned that behind every sister-obsessed person, there might be a brother-obsessed person.
After listening to Wu Ji's detailed explanation, Bai Shimo put her hands behind her back and stared at him without blinking.
Then Bai Shimo suddenly laughed.
"What is Mu Nanfeng?"
"I can cause trouble for my brother, but she...is she even worthy?"
His tone was casual, and his innocent and adorable demeanor vanished, replaced by the appearance of an angry little devil.
Wu Ji learned a secret that day.
During high school, Bai Shimo was a suitor who would frequently pop up to seek Bai Weiran's approval and assert his presence.
It turns out that Bai Shimo was behind it all.
"I don't want to like a guy who's weaker than my brother!"
With just a few words, she sent a group of admirers chasing after Bai's brother like zombies.
Bai Shimo tried to shift the blame to her brother, but Bai Weiran successfully thwarted all of them.
