Chapter 232: Chapter 232: My future sister-in-law?

"Thank you, Grandpa, you’re really great."

Pei Yining happily put the red envelope in her pocket and asked, "Grandpa, who is this..."

"He’s my new apprentice, Xu Nian’an," Du Chang introduced. "This is my granddaughter, also Yicheng’s sister, Pei Yining."

"Happy New Year." Pei Yining immediately asked, "Are you Nianhua’s brother?"

Xu Nian’an, Xu Nianhua, their names alone suggested they were siblings.

"Yes." Xu Nian’an hung his head low, as if he dare not look directly at Pei Yining, who appeared to him like a young lady from a prestigious family.

"You’re really lucky, my grandpa hasn’t taken on apprentices in a long time," Pei Yining was very lively and cheerful.

With Pei Yining there, even lunch became much more lively; she was like a breath of fresh air.

Xu Nianhua had come to know Pei Yining, Yicheng’s sister, and she was different from Pei Yicheng.

The two siblings, one was like a closed gourd, often going half a day without speaking.

The other was lively and cheerful, ever since she arrived, she hadn’t stopped talking.

...

"Second brother, you said Yicheng is sparing with his words, but this sister is really different."

Xu Nianhua liked Pei Yining’s personality very much, always lively and cheerful with a constant smile on her face, it made one couldn’t help but feel close to her.

"That’s normal, it’s good for a girl to be lively," Xu Nian’an glanced at her and said, "Little sister, sometimes you don’t need to worry too much about others, focus more on yourself. The college entrance exam is coming up, we have to work hard and strive to get into college together."

"By the way, little sister, does Beining University have a medical school?" Xu Nian’an asked with concern.

"Beining University, isn’t it known for its foreign languages?"

Xu Nianhua gave him a look and said, "The medical school in the Capital City is quite famous, isn’t it? Why would you choose a university in Beining instead?"

"You’re in Beining, so I want to go too, I can take care of you," Xu Nian’an said assertively. "Ningbei and the Capital City are a bit far apart, no, I’ll do the same as you and I’ll also apply for Beining."

"Second brother," Xu Nianhua stopped in her tracks and said earnestly, "I’ve grown up, I can take care of myself, you can’t just go to Beining University because of me, your grades are good, you should go to a specialized medical college, you’ll learn more there."

"No way," Xu Nian’an refused without hesitation: "You’re a young lady on your own, going to university in Ningbei, I can’t feel at ease."

"I’m going to university, not to do something bad?" Xu Nianhua tried to persuade Xu Nian’an, but he was very determined.

Second brother was usually easy to talk to, but sometimes he could be really stubborn, so she could only settle for the next best thing, thinking she’d persuade him once they had taken their exams.

...

"Xiaoning, is there something on my face?" Pei Yicheng touched his face, feeling very strange under Pei Yining’s fixed gaze.

Pei Yining rested her chin in her hands, looking at her brother who was still as handsome and spirited as before, and much better than when he first injured his leg; she asked, "Brother, be honest with me, is Nianhua going to be my future sister-in-law?"

Pei Yicheng, who was just about to take a sip of his tea, trembled, nearly spilling the cup.

"Bro, you can’t fool me. You don’t know how picturesque the scene was when I took your photo today. That deep gaze, the way you looked at each other, was such a pleasure to the eyes."

"You can’t tell me you don’t like her."

Pei Yining was only a year younger than Xu Nianhua, she understood all she needed to; she wasn’t dim-witted and was very clever.
