The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner that night was still eaten in the school dining hall, and First High School even fittingly provided every student who came to eat with a free mooncake. After a good while, the small group of four gathered again at the same dining table. Chattling and laughing, they celebrated the festival and Han Mingyue’s birthday together. Zhen Yu said she wouldn’t give him a gift again, so she really didn’t give him one this time either. And obviously, neither Zhen Yan nor Bai Xue were going to give gifts! The extra hoodies that Zhen Yu bought during military training were directly given to Han Mingyue as soon as she got them, resulting in Han Mingyue wearing a hoodie under his school uniform almost every day since the start of school! Even now, while eating, he didn’t take off his hoodie! Since Mrs. Zhen’s remarriage, Zhen Yan’s clothing, food, housing, and transportation have all been managed by his little sister, so the sweatshirt he wore under his school uniform was actually in a similar style to Han Mingyue’s, just without a hood. Bai Xue suddenly noticed this and began looking back and forth between the two boys while talking. Although Han Mingyue was keenly aware of her gaze early on, he didn’t mind since her eyes only showed curiosity. But Zhen Yan was different. It took him a while to notice Bai Xue’s scrutinizing glances between the two of them, then he immediately looked at Bai Xue and asked, "Why do you keep looking at us? Surely you’re not... comparing who’s more handsome, are you?!" "Please!" Bai Xue immediately laughed out. "Is there even a need to compare? Of course, Han Mingyue is handsomer! Right, Xiao Yu?!" Zhen Yu slightly pursed her lips, her smile flashed briefly before she restrained it, and subtly nodded her head. Afraid that her brother would feel jealous, she decided to laugh secretly in her heart. Zhen Yan, not willing to accept this, protested, "What do you naive little girls know! Brother here, the way I am, is a true man! Han Mingyue is just a pretty boy! How could he be handsomer than me?!" "Everywhere!" Bai Xue rebutted without holding back. "Even though you two are wearing almost identical clothes, Han Mingyue just looks a whole lot handsomer than you! Right, Xiao Yu?!" "Our clothes, how are they identical? His has a hood!" Zhen Yan argued. Bai Xue immediately said, "It’s just the hood and color that are different! Everything else is the same!" Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept back and forth between the open fronts of his and Han Mingyue’s sweatshirts, and finally, he realized belatedly, "Did Xiao Yu buy you these clothes?!" Han Mingyue’s cheeks turned slightly red, but he still gently nodded. "Ah, haha..." Zhen Yan took a deep breath, wanted to say something but still held back. However, the look he gave his little sister carried a hint of disapproval. Zhen Yu didn’t quite understand why her brother looked at her with such eyes, and after thinking it over, she decided to have a private talk with him after dinner! After all, it had been a while since the siblings had a proper conversation. So, after everyone put down their chopsticks, Zhen Yu took the initiative. "I want to have another chat with my brother alone, you two go ahead with your things!" Bai Xue immediately got up casually and said, "Sure! Then I’ll go practice the piano!" After she walked some distance away, Han Mingyue then stood up and said, "Keep an eye on the time, don’t be late." After watching him walk away, Zhen Yu finally turned her gaze back to Zhen Yan. "Spill it! Why were you staring at me just now?!" Discover more novels at n0velfire.net "Staring?!" The words Zhen Yan had been holding back in his stomach suddenly burst forth! "Little sister, can you hold back a little?! Now you’re taking care of everything for Han Mingyue, what will you do in the future? Are you going to support him?" "It’s just a few clothes," Zhen Yu replied nonchalantly. "It’s indeed just a few clothes now! But what about later?! I know you too well, you get used to taking care of someone before you know it! It’s not the money I care about, but are you looking for a partner or raising a son?!" Upon hearing this, Zhen Yu suddenly became speechless! Then her gaze swiftly turned to Zhen Yan! "No! I’m talking about Han Mingyue! Why are you looking at me?!" Zhen Yan resisted his sister’s gaze, determined not to admit that he was also being ’raised’ by his sister like a son. But Zhen Yu remained silent, just staring straight at him. Eventually, Zhen Yan had to concede defeat. "Alright, alright! I got it! From now on, I won’t ask you to buy everything for me, alright? I’ll go shopping myself! But you need to understand too! You can’t manage every little thing for Han Mingyue! Otherwise, you’ll end up being his mom in the future! Then I’d like to see where you’re going to cry!" Zhen Yu nodded thoughtfully. After a while, she then said, "Then I’ll try not to meddle too much in his life from now on." Zhen Yan shook his head, "Hearing that tone of yours, I know you won’t be able to let go! Have it your way..." After finishing the discussion about Han Mingyue, Zhen Yu turned the conversation around and asked, "What have you been busy with recently?" Zhen Yan really didn’t want to say, but... taking back the food delivery market wasn’t easy at all! After some consideration, Zhen Yan still told Zhen Yu about his plans to reclaim the food delivery business and asked for her help to guide his thinking. Once she knew what Zhen Yan wanted to do, Zhen Yu reacted just as he had expected, without displaying much surprise. She not only provided him with several practical suggestions but also enlightened him on some advanced concepts! "Most of the riders have been poached back? But there are not many orders to run?" "Yep! We exploited a loophole in the contract, leaving Wang Lin with a few people to deal with the Gu Family while keeping up appearances. But Chu Fang hasn’t managed a good deal on the restaurant’s side yet, so most of the riders who’ve been poached back don’t have much to do, and everyone’s starting to get discontented..." "You can develop a dedicated errand service! Anyway, everyone is dealing with prepaid cards now, which can be used to buy food, and naturally, they can also purchase other things! Pharmacies, flower shops, grocery and daily necessities, or even hardware and stationery products, a lot of these shops can be included! Get the merchants to list their product prices, and we’ll only facilitate the purchase of packaged items!" "Eh?! Can we really do that?!" Zhen Yan’s mouth hung open in surprise. "Why can’t we do that?! Merchants can print more flyers to distribute out! Shoppers can then figure out the product costs from the price lists! And we’ll just charge an extra fee for the errand service!" "I get it! This way, the riders will have work to do temporarily and won’t cause trouble! Ah! This job isn’t just temporary..." "That’s right! It’s a long-term business! Even those restaurants that don’t want to join the delivery service, we can simply provide a meal delivery service for them. Restaurants can handle their own membership cards, and we’ll just pick up and deliver meals! We can also start city express delivery! But start small, like helping with buying and delivering flowers, or making store deliveries! Don’t limit your thinking!"
