"Again talking nonsense."

Lu Ma sighed lightly, gazing at Ji Jue's profile for a long time, then reached out to smooth his habitually furrowed brow: "I became an apprentice at twelve, suffered and endured till now... How exhausting and difficult the outside world is, don't I know?

In my lifetime, aside from fixing cars, I can only cook, no other skills. Now in my old age, seeing you all clean and successful is the best thing possible."

"..."

For a moment, Ji Jue was about to speak but stopped, unsure of what to say. Amidst the noise, he turned to look at Lu Ma. Lu Ma looked back at him, smiling, her round cheeks full of joy and love.

Just like she was looking at the stubborn child without a home from years ago.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Ji Jue held Lu Ma's hand cautiously, telling her: "Leave it to me, there's no need to worry."

He said, "How could a child taught by you, Lu Ma, turn bad?"

"Always saying such flattering words." Lu Ma seemed helpless, but her smile grew even happier.

"Second brother, what's wrong?"

The youngest tilted her head in confusion, not understanding their words, feeling like she was inexplicably about to suffer something...

"It's nothing, just concerned about you all."

Ji Jue embraced the youngest and pinched the third sister's cheeks, smiling slightly: "Be good children."

"Go Tianmen! Go Tianmen!!!"

Shouts arose, students from Tianmen University became noisy from the stands, waving banners and signs, chanting: "Go! Go! Go!!!"

Under the lights and cheers, the participating students lined up and came out from the entrance passage, and Ji Jue first saw Lu Ling in her athletic gear among them.

She seemed unaccustomed to such a scene, instinctively hunching a little awkwardly, with an embarrassed smile on her face.

"You can do it, second sister!!!"

"Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling!!"

Lu Ma got excited, raised her phone, shouting loudly, almost drowning out other sounds from the stands, holding up her phone, capturing Lu Ling's image.

In the crowd, Lu Ling was momentarily stunned, lifting her eyes to see Lu Ma, along with her excited jumping siblings, and nearby Ji Jue, smiling and watching her, waving fists in encouragement.

Such sincere eyes, full of expectation...

"Xiao Ling, make sure you run well!!!"

— Otherwise, second brother's sponsorship will be wasted!

Lu Ling was briefly stunned, then her smile immediately brightened, straightening her back.

Not caring at all about others' gazes, she jumped around, waving towards them, making a V-sign with her fingers.

"Who's that?"

The girl beside her leaned forward, seemingly curious.

"My mom." Lu Ling proudly raised her head.

"I mean next to her, next to her..."

The questioning senior sister shook her head, her eyes bright, instinctively lowered her voice: "That's Ji Senior, right?"

Unfortunately, it was useless, as everyone nearby heard and looked in the same direction, curiously craning their necks to glimpse the legendary rising new star of the Mechanical Engineering Academy...

With Coastal Industry's development, Ji Jue's fame spread once again throughout the school, with numerous rumors either strangely resembling a demon or exaggerated like a deity.

Even the sales of Tianmen University's signature braised pork rice have declined significantly.

Excuse me, why does Ji Senior not hide the fact that he almost got sent away by a bowl of braised pork rice back then?

Rumor has it that this senior was unremarkable for the first three years, buried himself in the grindstone, completed certifications from head to toe, managed to pass Level Four in the first year, Level Three in two years, and directly took the Level Two engineering certification in the third year, while also obtaining various other documents to brush up his resume. He was recruited by a big boss who no longer appears publicly, directly enrolled for combined bachelor's and master's degrees.

The expected path of a generation of academic kings had just begun, but he promptly took charge during his internship at Coastal Automobile Factory, turning an almost bankrupt small plant into what is now gradually monopolizing the wild territories... On graduation day, he broke records, becoming an honorary alumnus of Tianmen University at the fastest speed, his photo on the wall, now turning around to sponsor his alma mater, helping out junior students.

Simply the rising sovereign of the production line, the whispered legend of the study god, with apples and snacks forever offered at the head of beds by junior students who screw screws!

In this regard, Lu Ling didn't shy away, raising her head and chest:

"That's my brother!"

For a long time, she could more or less feel the impact her second brother had on her university life.

It's like an ugly duckling suddenly entering a world where everyone is good.

No deliberately troubling teachers, no classmates excluding her in the class, no senior sisters commanding her as a maid in the club, no one despised her for being poor, rural and unable to wear makeup or keep up with topics, every single person was kind and friendly.

But Lu Ling was never bothered.

Yes, that's right, that's my brother, so what!

What's there to hide?

Back in high school, whenever I whistled, the big brother and second brother jumped out and thrashed the bullies senseless, cleaned up after without leaving any evidence, and made them feel what true campus violence is...

That's the best thing in the world!

If you're envious and jealous, go find your brother too!

Even if he has nothing, he's my brother.
