Chapter 365 – Future Second Sister-in-Law?
In the afternoon, Xu Jinning and Xu Xiangbei appeared at Beijing University, and the two of them started touring the campus.
Xu Xiangbei looked at the teaching buildings, library, and other places in front of him with astonishment, his eyes full of surprise. As they passed by, the sound of classes filled his ears.
Being there, he could feel the strong atmosphere of the place.
Although Xu Xiangbei was not fond of studying and his grades were poor, it did not diminish his reverence for the school, this sacred place.
As they continued their tour, they were unaware of how quickly time had passed until the school bell rang for the end of class.
At that moment, they happened to arrive at the classroom where Xu Jinning had attended classes when she was a student.
In the classroom, a sharp-eyed figure spotted Xu Jinning and quickly ran out.
“Ningning, is that you?”
Xu Jinning turned around and saw Huang Minyue.
Huang Minyue ran over and immediately grabbed Xu Jinning’s hands. “Ningning, it’s been such a long time since I last saw you. My parents have been saying they haven’t seen you in a while and asked me to see when you might have time to visit us.”
Since they had confirmed their relationship, Xu Jinning and Huang Minyue had become quite close.
However, this closeness had decreased again since Xu Jinning became a teacher.
Because one was a student and the other a teacher, they could no longer attend classes together like before.
Moreover, neither of them lived on campus, so they rarely bumped into each other.
God knew how much she missed Xu Jinning.
As soon as class was over, she looked out of boredom and spotted Xu Jinning, which immediately excited her enough to run out.
“I’ve been a bit busy lately, but I’ll visit my godfather and godmother after a while.”
“Okay, it’s settled then.”
At this moment, Huang Minyue noticed that there was someone standing beside Xu Jinning when she first arrived.
She shifted her gaze toward that person.
The moment she saw the man, Huang Minyue was instantly stunned.
This man was extraordinarily handsome—his honey-colored skin, the slight bulge of muscles under his clothes, as if hiding boundless strength, and his features, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, seemed to hold a deep abyss. The first sight of him captivated her deeply.
Every detail of his appearance perfectly matched her aesthetic preferences.
Huang Minyue could feel her heart racing wildly.
She also realized that she had fallen for this man at first sight!
“Ningning, who is this person?” Huang Minyue, after regaining her composure, quickly grabbed Xu Jinning’s arm and asked softly.
“This is my second brother Xu Xiangbei. He just came to Beijing by train from our hometown today to visit me and my elder sister,” Xu Jinning replied.
But what was up with Minyue’s expression?
Why did her face look a bit flushed, and why did her eyes keep darting toward my brother, with a hint of shyness?
That look seemed so familiar.
Wait a minute…
Xu Jinning’s eyes widened.
Could it be that Huang Minyue had fallen for her brother at first sight?
“Oh, I see, he is your second brother. Hello, Brother Xiangbei, I’m Huang Minyue…” Huang Minyue turned and introduced herself to Xu Xiangbei.
Xu Xiangbei had actually noticed the girl when she had called Xu Jinning’s name and rushed out of the classroom.
When Xu Xiangbei took a closer look at the girl, he was momentarily taken aback. He found her to have a doll-like face with dimples on her cheeks, and her smile was sweet and very cute.
It made him feel like the sweetness of summer watermelon.
He hadn’t expected this girl to come up to him and introduce herself.
However…
He did recognize the name Huang Minyue.
He knew that Xu Jinning had godparents in Beijing, which should be Huang Minyue’s parents.
In other words, Huang Minyue was like a half-sister to him.
He thought this half-sister was quite lively and adorable. Moreover, like Ningning, she was also a student at Beijing University. Oh, no, Ningning was now a teacher.
But anyone who could get into Beijing University was impressive.
So, Xu Xiangbei had a good impression of Huang Minyue at this moment.
Although he was in an unfamiliar city and facing strangers, Xu Xiangbei was not easily intimidated. Besides, he was generally quite personable and could easily get along with people.
“Is it Huang Minyue? Hello, I know about you. I’m Ningning’s second brother, Xu Xiangbei.”
“You know about me? You can call me Yueyue, just like Ningning does.”
Xu Jinning: “…” I call you Minyue, not Yueyue.
Xu Xiangbei: “Yueyue…”
Xu Jinning thought: … My silly little brother, don’t tell me you also like Huang Minyue?
Indeed, as long as she wasn’t blind, Xu Jinning could clearly see that Huang Minyue was interested in her brother.
And what about her brother?
Xu Jinning’s gaze scanned her brother.
It seemed that her brother still hadn’t caught on, but it was clear that he had a good impression of Huang Minyue.
But… could these two actually work out?
Xu Jinning’s eyes darted between the two.
After observing for a long time, she couldn’t come to a definite conclusion. Matters of fate were hard to predict.
We’ll have to wait and see.
Of course, if Huang Minyue became her sister-in-law, Xu Jinning felt it would be acceptable.
Huang Minyue’s personality was nice, she was cute and pure, and the Huang family was also good; her godfather and godmother were quite nice.
Although, at present, her second brother seemed a bit mismatched with Huang Minyue.
After all, her brother came from a rural background and had only finished junior high school.
Meanwhile, Huang Minyue was a local of Beijing and a student at Beijing University with a bright future ahead.
To an outsider, it might seem that they were mismatched and that Xu Xiangbei was not a good match for Huang Minyue.
But Xu Jinning believed that one shouldn’t judge solely based on the present. Her brother had a boundless future ahead.
Moreover, their family had a tradition of men cherishing their wives and children. If Huang Minyue could marry her brother, then he would surely love and cherish her for a lifetime.
No matter who it is, the person who will marry her brother in the future will definitely be happy.
She could use her mother and elder sister-in-law as examples.
However, whether there’s a chance for Huang Minyue and her brother was hard to say.
Xu Jinning even felt it might be somewhat difficult.
We’ll just have to see.
Although Huang Minyue wanted to continue talking to Xu Xiangbei, the class bell soon rang, signaling that she had to go inside for her class.
“Ningning, Brother Xiangbei, I’ll come find you at the small courtyard after school today,” Huang Minyue said.
“Sure, you can stay and have dinner with us tonight,” Xu Jinning replied.
“Okay.”
After saying that, Huang Minyue reluctantly entered the classroom.
“Ningning, Yueyue is so enthusiastic. Is she this warm towards everyone?” After Huang Minyue went into the classroom, Xu Xiangbei turned his gaze back to Xu Jinning and asked.
Xu Jinning: Huh? Why are you asking this? Don’t tell me you’re interested in Minyue too?
“Minyue is indeed quite lively, but she’s not like this with everyone. It might be because you’re my brother. You’re different.”
‘You’re different…’
The words lingered in Xu Xiangbei’s mind, and somehow, a faint sweetness stirred in his heart.
