"I call this confidence."
Ming Han was pretty cocky. He tilted his head in Ming Wei's direction and whispered, "Sis, good luck! Second brother is waiting for you to take my spot as top of the grade."
"Just you wait!"
Ming Wei wasn't intimidated at all.

Early next morning, Third Brother Jiang and Fourth Brother Jiang's families packed up bags and boxes, and Kang Li drove them to the train station. Since there wasn't enough space for everyone in one trip, Kang Li ended up driving between the courtyard and train station twice.
In the days afterward, Kang Li's mom and sisters continued to stay in the courtyard, right up until the day before the new semester started, when they returned to their apartment.
"Tongtong, what's this..."
"It's for you."
"For no reason, why are you giving me a gift?"
Ming Wei looked at the beautifully wrapped gift box in front of her, hesitating to reach for it. She looked at Xiao Tong, puzzled.
"Shen Siqing asked me to pass it on to you."
