If flowers bloom, youth will naturally follow.

Jiang Ziyi, who had always harbored ulterior motives, had a sudden realization when she saw Xiao Pang's lovestruck expression. This girl definitely had feelings for Tianyi!

Qiao Tianyi was almost strangled by Jiang Ziyi's stiff red line. Facing the little fat boy's tearful gaze, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Gege, 40,000 yuan is not much. I estimate that your tuition and living expenses for two years of high school and four years of university may be 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. This does not include the money that may be spent on registering your student status when you go to high school in Shijiazhuang."

"Huh? Is it that troublesome?" Little Fatty's heart was just starting to flutter when this bad news ruined his mood, and he pouted again.

“That’s right. If it were easy to go to school and take the college entrance exam anywhere, wouldn’t everyone be flocking to Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou? Here, take the money. Consider it a loan from me. You can pay me back with interest once you’ve made some money,” Qiao Tianyi said.

“Yes, don’t look down on your brother Tianyi. He’s a great earner. If you need money, just borrow from him. We can pay it back together after graduation. If you can’t pay it back, you can repay him with your body.” Jiang Ziyi hated her brother for not being competitive, so she changed from trying to force him to do it.

"Sister Yiyi," Little Fatty was mortified. He looked down and glanced sideways at Qiao Tianyi to see how she would react.

This guy truly lives up to his 22-year reputation as a gentleman; his face was full of displeasure: "Sis, don't joke around like that. We've been together for so long, if Gege is in trouble, you must help her in any way you can."

He really is a top student (bookworm), Tianyi Ge.

"Okay, okay, you're such a gentleman. I'm going to take a nap. You take Gege to open a bank account and pack your things while you're at it." Jiang Ziyi finally understood why her younger brother was still single at 22. He hadn't inherited any of his parents' emotional intelligence. Did he get his high IQ by trading it for emotional intelligence?

Jiang Ziyi made the decision unilaterally, and the other three had no objections. Xiao Pang went back to his bedroom to pack his luggage, adding only some gifts for Zhao Shirong's family that he had bought earlier than when he arrived, and quickly finished packing.

Xiao Pang came to Jiang Ziyi's bedroom, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sister Yiyi, Sister Shirong just had a baby and lives with her parents. I can't take Xiao Yanzi with me. Can you and Sister Xiaoyu help me take care of Xiao Yanzi? If you don't want to keep her, find her a good home. I'm afraid that Brother Wang and the others will find it troublesome and throw her away if I leave her here."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of Xiao Yanzi for you and return her to you later," Dun Chenyu said understandingly. It was clear that Xiao Pang and Xiao Yanzi had forgotten that she was Xiao Yanzi's owner.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu," Little Fatty said with a beaming smile.

"Don't mention it. Hey, Qiao Tianyi, Qiao Tianyi," Jiang Ziyi remembered something and shouted loudly into the living room, "That princess has been calling you 'Big Brother' for over a month. Why don't you spend a little more money to buy her a cell phone so we can call her when we miss her?"

Jiang Ziyi is such a good older sister. She went to great lengths to maintain the relationship between her and her sister-in-law, even forcing Xiao Niu to drink water when he refused.

"No need, no need. I'll just buy a second-hand one when I get to Shijiazhuang. I'll call you then," Little Fatty quickly declined.

"Okay, I know. We're leaving now, sis. We'll contact you later," Qiao Tianyi said noncommittally, calling to Xiao Pang as they went downstairs.

On their way back to Harbin Institute of Technology, the two passed by a bank. Qiao Tianyi took Xiao Pang into the bank and opened a bank account for him to transfer money.

Little Fatty had never opened a bank account before, and he was stunned when he saw the application form, which required him to fill in his personal information.

"What? Haven't you done this before? It's very simple. Come on, let me help you," Qiao Tianyi asked considerately when she saw the chubby boy looking helpless.

Looking at the gender column, Xiao Pang felt a pang of unease. He could continue to hide it; an excuse would be easy to come up with: he had run away from home without his household registration book and didn't know his ID number.

But is it really necessary to do that? Qiao Tianyi has always treated me like a younger sister, but Xia Ziwei, when will you finally be honest with yourself about the future? Until he falls in love with you?

Isn't that kidnapping?

Wouldn't that be too despicable?

"You don't know your own ID number?" Qiao Tianyi chuckled. "Haha, then I'll get you one of my cards."
