Shen Suixin was undoubtedly smart. Especially when compared to Jiang Shuxin, who was a little love-minded in the original plot, she was much smarter. She and Qin Huai were together, but it was definitely not true love. Because Qin Huai’s family was superior, and generous, and he was good-looking, taking this kind of boyfriend would increase her standing.

Now that she knew that it was irreversible, she simply accepted it as soon as she saw it. Anyway, in this relationship, she hadn’t given anything, but gained a lot. She was not at a loss!

The next day, as soon as Jiang Shuxin got up, she heard a commotion outside the dormitory. A roommate came in from the balcony. “Shuxin, look quickly.”

“What did you want me to look at?” Jiang Shuxin was pulled to the balcony by her roommate. She leaned over to look and frowned.

The lower level of the dormitory was full of bright red roses. A heart was placed in the middle with pink roses, and the word “Shu” was placed inside the heart.

Then Qin Huai stood aside holding a bunch of roses, looking over here with his head held high.

“Shuxin, does that ‘Shu’ mean you? When did you come to know such a fine person?” the roommate said excitedly, holding Jiang Shuxin’s hand.

“It’s not me. I don’t know him. I’m going to take a shower—take a look at it yourself!” Jiang Shuxin let go of her roommate’s hand and went into the bathroom, yawning.

Over there, Li Huairou heard the movements. She feared that her sister would be deceived, so she ran over from the third floor to guard her. “Jie, let’s have breakfast together!”

Jiang Shuxin hummed from the bathroom. “Huairou, bring me the dry cap at my bedside.”

“Okay,” Li Huairou responded.

Jiang Shuxin took a shower, changed her clothes, and dried her hair. Afraid that her sister would be anxious, she put on sunscreen and was ready to go out. “Have you put on sunscreen?”

“No, I was going out in a hurry, so I forgot,” Li Huairou said.

“Come here! Didn’t I tell you? You have to apply sunscreen every day. Don’t fail to take care of your skin just because you’re young. When you’re over 30 years old, your skin will sag, and you’ll have wrinkles. Are you using the anti-aging serum I bought? Remember to use it every night!” Jiang Shuxin carefully and gently helped her sister apply sunscreen. “Also, remember to wash it off at night!”

“Got it!” Li Huairou obediently stood n front of Jiang Shuxin, letting her sister smear the sunscreen on her face.

“Shuxin, your sister is so good. I think I want my mother to give me a little sister,” the roommate said with a smile.

“Tell your mother now. It’s not too late.” Jiang Shuxin smiled. “Let’s go. Is there class in the morning?”

“At half past nine,” Li Huairou said.

“Okay, I’ll take you to Huainan Road for breakfast. There’s a shop there. The crab roe buns are the most authentic.” Jiang Shuxin had no classes in the morning and had plenty of time.

“Alright.”

The sisters came out of the dormitory building hand-in-hand, without even looking at Qin Huai, who was next to them.

Qin Huai came over and handed the roses in his arms to Jiang Shuxin. “Shuxin, this is for you.”

Jiang Shuxin glanced at him. Without answering his words, she took Li Huairou’s hand, then seized all this time to educate her sister. “Huairou, I tell you, you must not like this kind of seamless man. First of all, the seamless jump means that he has no feelings for his ex-girlfriend, no feelings. And he’s still in contact with others. This person is not right. If he can get out of the previous relationship and enter the next relationship so quickly, this shows that this man is not special in love, treats feelings as a game, and has a high possibility of empathizing and falling out of love in the future. To sum it up, you can’t want this kind of man. Got it?”

Li Huairou blinked, not expecting Jiang Shuxin’s analysis to be so thorough!

“I’m speaking to you. Got it?” Jiang Shuxin asked.

“Jie, I got it. Don’t worry, men are not good things! I won’t get married or fall in love in the future. It’s good to be alone,” Li Huairou said.

Jiang Shuxin’s eyes widened. Had she gone overboard? “No, don’t be so extreme! Not all men are like this, and there are also good men. For example, our dad. Our dad is a good man!”

“Jie, don’t talk about this. Let’s go to breakfast. I’m hungry,” Li Huairou said coquettishly, pulling on Jiang Shuxin’s arm.

Jiang Shuxin turned her head and glared at Qin Huai. It was this dog man who’d set a bad example and made Huairou have trauma towards men! Damn it! If my Huairou doesn’t plan to get married because of this, Qin Huai, you are dead!

When Qin Huai saw Jiang Shuxin’s fierce appearance, he was not angry—rather, he was delighted. How could she be so similar? She was very much like Nan Shu. The look of Nan Shu in his mind became more and more vivid.

While eating breakfast, Jiang Shuxin’s cell phone rang. As Jiang Shuxin put a shrimp dumpling on Li Huairou’s plate, she picked up her cellphone and looked at it, but her expression became more solemn.

“Jie, what’s wrong?” Li Huairou asked, raising her head.

Jiang Shuxin handed the phone to Li Huairou. “Well, it seems that my little sister really has the talent to be a screenwriter. It’s as you guessed.”

Li Huairou took the phone. “Jie, your friend is so amazing—he even has photos.” On the phone was the past of Qin Huai and Nan Shu, and there were even group photos of the two of them when they were teenagers. Judging from the photos, Jiang Shuxin was indeed somewhat similar to Nan Shu. Not only that, there were even photos of Qin Huai’s girlfriends in the past. Without exception, they were somewhat similar to Nan Shu.

Jiang Shuxin smiled. Chengzi finally reminded her that she was somewhat similar to Nan Shu, so she must not be deceived.

“This Qin Huai, he’s quite infatuated?” Li Huairou asked.

Jiang Shuxin glared at her and felt that her sister had a problem with her brain. “Infatuation? If he really is infatuated, he should keep himself clean or just go abroad to find her. Now, seamlessly getting one girlfriend after another girlfriend is called infatuation? This is called playing with women’s feelings. Do you still think such a man is infatuated? In the future, you must remember that when you meet such a man, you should take a detour.”

Li Huairou laughed, “I see. I got it.”

After Jiang Shuxin finished speaking, she thought of Li Huairou’s argument about not marrying just now. She wondered if she was being too serious and had scared her sister. “Huairou, in fact, a man like Qin Huai is just one example. There are still good men, you… oops.”

“I’m sorry, sorry!” It turned out that when a young man was passing by, his feet had slipped, and he’d spilled the porridge he was holding onto Jiang Shuxin.

While apologizing, the boy hurriedly took the napkin on the table and wiped it off for Jiang Shuxin.

“Jie, are you alright? It’s not hot!” Li Huairou quickly put down the tableware and ran over.

“Li Huairou?” the man said, looking at Li Huairou. Then he remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Shuxin. “Shuxin-jie! I’m Tang Haoran—do you remember me? Li Huairou’s junior high classmate who used to go to your family and give Li Huairou study materials.”

Jiang Shuxin thought for a long time before she found such a person in memory, “It’s Xiao Tang! I remember, you transferred away in the third year of junior high?

“It’s me! Shuxin-jie, you finally remembered me! That year, my father was transferred for work, and our family moved to Wancheng, but I still liked it here. So, when I took the college entrance examination, all I filled in was the university here. Shuxin-jie, you should be a senior? Which university are you in? I can find you and hang out with Li Huairou.” Tang Haoran looked at Jiang Shuxin with bright eyes.

Li Huairou laughed from the side. Those who didn’t know thought they were classmates who had reunited after a long absence. Toward her sister, he was repeatedly calling “Shuxin-jie“, yet toward her, it was only “Li Huairou”. It seemed that this Tang Haoran had been coveting her sister for a long time!

But this Tang Haoran was quite handsome and sunny. Though, why was he so pale! One month of military training had had no effect on him at all!

Jiang Shuxin felt helpless when she saw Li Huairou’s expression. At that time, she knew that Tang Haoran had a high probability of liking her. She hadn’t taken it seriously, and the racing hearts of youth often disappeared with the passage of time. Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for more than three years, this Tang Haoran looked at her with starlight in his eyes.

This guy was quite affectionate!

It was just that she had no interest in someone younger than herself.

“Huairou, why don’t you talk when you see your old classmate?” Jiang Shuxin looked at Li Huairou, who had already sat back to eat breakfast, and her heart moved. This Xiao Tang and Huairou were quite a match.

Hearing this, Li Huairou picked up the phone. “Come on, let’s add each other on WeChat first!”

Tang Haoran glanced at Jiang Shuxin and hesitantly took out his phone. What he wanted more was Jiang Shuxin’s WeChat. Li Huairou continued to scan the code and whispered in Tang Haoran’s ear, “Are you stupid? Don’t you understand the principle of getting the moon near the water and building the platform?”

Tang Haoran was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he also whispered, “Is it that obvious?”

“Have you ever seen a dog that saw a bone? Your expression when seeing my sister is similar to such a dog!” Li Huairou whispered.

“Don’t talk nonsense. How can there be such a beautiful bone as Shuxin-jie?” Tang Haoran scratched his head stupidly.

Jiang Shu smiled when she saw their little actions. She felt that she was so wise, wasn’t she?

After adding him on WeChat, Li Huairou immediately pushed Jiang Shuxin’s WeChat to Tang Haoran. Tang Haoran’s eyes lit up, and he immediately sent her a friend request.

Jiang Shuxin frowned slightly.

Without saying a word, Li Huairou picked up Jiang Shuxin’s cellphone and accepted the friend request. “What’s the point! Isn’t it just adding someone on WeChat?”

Jiang Shuxin thought about it too—just adding someone on WeChat didn’t mean anything.

Tang Haoran happily pinned Jiang Shuxin’s WeChat to the top.

“Jie, I still have something to do, so I’ll go back first. Your white sweater is stained with eight-treasure porridge, so I guess you can’t wear it. Buy a new one nearby! Tang Haoran, it’s your fault about my sister’s new clothes. You have to pay,” Li Huairou said, wiping her mouth.

“No, there’s no need. Let’s go back together!” Jiang Shuxin said quickly.

“It’s necessary, it’s very necessary. Shuxin-jie, give me a chance to make up for what I’ve done! Please.” Tang Haoran folded his hands and looked at Jiang Shuxin pitifully, looking like a little milk dog.

[Xiao nai gou (小奶狗) literary means little milk dog. It refers to a man younger than his girlfriend, act like a spoiled child, and is loyal like a puppy]

Jiang Shuxin was stunned when she saw it.

Taking advantage of Jiang Shuxin’s stupefied effort, Li Huairou quickly walked out of the restaurant.

When she got into the taxi and went back to school, Li Huairou’s cellphone rang, and when she opened it, there was a red envelope sent by Tang Haoran, and then there was another sentence: “Thank you, old classmate!”
