"Brother, is there anything wrong?" Xuanxuan asked in a low voice.

The man's clear eyes fell on the mottled tear marks on her little face, and his gaze fell on the study materials in the room, "It's so late, are you still studying?"

Xuanxuan was a little embarrassed. "I came from the village and can't keep up with the courses here. I want to learn more..."

"It's already 12 o'clock, and you have to get up early for class tomorrow." The man glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "Go to bed."

"But I still can't learn it..." Xuanxuan bit her lip, lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice.

"Come to my study after school tomorrow and I will teach you," he said.

Xuanxuan raised her head and looked at him in surprise with her soft eyes. She curled her lips, her eyes sparkling, "Really?"

"Hmm." The man couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you, brother!" Xuanxuan was as happy as a child who got candy.

She knew that her brother was an excellent student and had always been the top student in the school. If he taught her, she would definitely be able to keep up with the school's progress!

She doesn't want to be last anymore.

So, after school, she went to Ji Qingping's study.

From then on, Ji Qingping would tutor her in her studies every day. He would mark out the questions she got wrong and carefully review why she got the question wrong, whether it was because of carelessness or weak basic knowledge. He would then teach her in a targeted manner based on the gaps in knowledge in this area and find out some previous questions for her to do.

As for the subject of English, her spoken English was that of rural plastic language, so Ji Qingping went to teach her spoken English one sentence at a time.

After studying for one semester, she went from last in the class to the top three.

On the final day of the semester, she returned home with her certificate in her hands, full of joy, "Brother, I got third place in the exam!"

"Come on." Ji Qingping handed her a small gift box, "A gift for you."

Xuanxuan opened it and found an exquisite and gorgeous pen inside.

She placed the pen on her heart, her heart filled with joy, her bright eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, "Thank you, brother! I will study harder!"

"The college entrance examination will be held in a while. I hope you can get good results." Ji Qingping looked at her with gentle eyes and said.

With Ji Qingping's efforts, Xuanxuan studied even harder.

Her grades are getting better and better.

Until the end of the college entrance examination——

That day, Xuanxuan returned home and found the house particularly lively.

"Xuanxuan, come here quickly to clean up! Wipe the table and chairs! Also, wipe the vase on the table! Don't leave out the dust on the photo frames at home, wipe them all clean." Li Xiumei's face was full of joy.

"Auntie, is there any happy event happening at home?" Xuanxuan was very obedient and quickly wiped the table, wiping it diligently.

"Of course it's a happy event." Li Xiumei said, "Qingping is in our family. He wants to bring his girlfriend home this time!"

Xuanxuan's hand that was wiping the table paused for a moment, and she stood there in a daze.

"He and Xuezhi are childhood sweethearts," Li Xiumei said. "They have been playing together since they were young and have a very good relationship. Xuezhi's father's family also owns a factory, and they are well-off. She is a perfect match for Qingping. I am very satisfied with this daughter-in-law."

Xuanxuan tightened her grip on the rag, lowered her little face and wiped the table silently.

"Wipe carefully, leaving no corner untouched!" Li Xiumei said, "Remember to mop the floor after wiping, so that you can leave a good impression on Xuezhi later!"

Xuanxuan did things quietly. She wiped all the tables, all the corners of the house, and mopped the floor. She was so tired that her waist ached. She sweated a lot, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and she was covered in dust.

Li Xiumei brought out the best fruits and cakes at home. "This mango is hard to buy. I think Xuezhi will like it. And these cherries are not bad either... I hope Xuezhi likes them."

"I have to go to the kitchen and cook a table of dishes!" Li Xiumei said as she went to the kitchen to get busy.

Normally, she cooks by herself, but this time, in order to show her sincerity, Li Xiumei started cooking by herself.

Xuanxuan lowered her eyes and continued to do her work.

Not long after, the door was opened——

"Mom, I'm back." At this time, Ji Qingping walked towards the house, holding on to a woman who was wearing a light pink dress, had big curly hair, had a pretty and delicate face, and a gentle and beautiful appearance.

"Xuezhi, you're here at last," Li Xiumei walked out of the kitchen, took off her apron, and smiled, "I cooked a large table of dishes, all of which are your favorites, Xuezhi."

"Thank you, Auntie." Su Xuezhi smiled gently.

"Why are you still calling me auntie? You should call me mom from now on." Li Xiumei took Su Xuezhi's hand affectionately, "Xuezhi, when I was a child, I saw you two playing together, and I knew you two were born to be a couple. I had this idea in my mind, but I didn't expect that my dream of many years would come true."

Su Xuezhi pursed her lips, smiled, and looked back at Ji Qingping beside her.

The man, who was always gentle and indifferent, looked at Su Xuezhi with eyes full of tenderness and doting.

When Xuanxuan, who was standing by, saw this scene, she felt at a loss as to what to do.

She was so embarrassed that she felt like a stranger in their home.

Oh, she was an outsider.

"Who is this?" Su Xuezhi's beautiful eyes fell on Lin Xuanxuan and asked curiously.

The moment Lin Xuanxuan's eyes met Su Xuezhi's, she felt so inferior that she could hardly raise her head.

At this moment, Su Xuezhi's dress was so delicate, her makeup was so beautiful, she was so pretty, gentle and graceful, and she was very generous. As for herself, she was wearing loose and baggy clothes, with no makeup on, her bangs were wet and stuck to her face, her hair was combed back into a very rustic low ponytail, she was sweating a lot, and was covered in dust. Standing next to Su Xuezhi, she looked like a green leaf against a red flower in contrast.

It is still a gray and inconspicuous green leaf.

Lin Xuanxuan lowered her eyes and head, not daring to raise her head to meet Su Xuezhi's gaze.

"She is Lin Xuanxuan, my sister."

"She is a girl adopted by our family. Her father died in an accident at the factory, and we took her in out of pity for her."

Ji Qingping and Li Xiumei's voices sounded at the same time.

"Oh." Su Xuezhi smiled, took out a pearl hairpin from her exquisite bag, and handed it to Lin Xuanxuan, "Hello Xuanxuan, you can call me sister-in-law from now on. This is the first time we meet, and this is a gift I prepared for you."

Lin Xuanxuan raised her head and looked at the sparkling pearl hairpin.

That hairpin is so pretty.

It's something I never had.

"She is not worthy of wearing such a nice thing. You should just put it away," said Li Xiumei.
