Upcoming novel: Thaw. Add it to your collection if you're interested! In her first year of high school, a stranger moved in with the Pu family. Pu's father pointed to a girl with bright, clear eyes and said, "This is your older sister." Only later did Pu Ning learn that Feng Jiang had been forced to stay with her family for a while because her parents were too busy with work. This new older sister often appeared and disappeared without a trace. She was nowhere to be seen half the time, attended only a handful of classes each week, and was a bona fide academic disaster when the rankings came out. Pu Ning couldn't bear it. One day, she pulled her aside to ask, "Feng, want me to teach you a problem?" Feng Jiang leisurely unwrapped a piece of candy and gave her a languid look. "Do I have to pay you?" "Yeah," Pu Ning said. "If you learn it, give me half the candy in your hand." Feng Jiang was an art student who had transferred in. She had an extraordinary talent for painting, and her teachers praised her as a rare promising talent. She was also stunningly beautiful, with eyes that seemed to speak whenever she gave someone a sidelong glance. Boys often confessed their feelings to her on the sly. Another one did so that day. He was especially persistent, and Feng Jiang, who claimed she would never date before graduating, didn't turn him down this time. She ate the breakfast he brought and drank the milk tea, and even shared half of the snacks with Pu Ning. Pu Ning watched, feeling a sudden surge of irritation. "I don't want any." Feng Jiang looked confused. "Don't you like mango?" "I do, but I won't eat something someone else brought me." Pu Ning put on a stern little face and scolded her. "Feng, can you learn from me and focus more on your studies? Did you even learn the problem I taught you yesterday? And you're already dating?" "I'm not dating. He's my younger brother." Afraid she'd misunderstand, Feng Jiang added, "My biological younger brother." A campus story Moral: Passion makes life more beautiful.
