Chu Rui couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, then you will be my younger brothers in the future. Mei Shu is my sister.”

When he said this, he kept staring at Mei Shu with a pair of smiling eyes, looking very serious.

Mei Shu felt a lump in her throat. Thinking of how Chu Rui protected her when she was young, her eyes gradually turned red. “Okay, Brother Rui. If you don’t mind, let’s call each other that in the future.”

“Then we are family.” Chu Rui’s eyes flickered. He thought of another way to become family, and his eyes were full of warmth.

They escorted Chu Rui to sit in the middle, and Mei He, who had been standing at the back and didn’t dare to approach, was exposed.

Worried that Mei He wouldn’t be used to such an occasion, Mei Shu quickly walked over and put her arms around his shoulders so that he could lean in her arms. “Xiao He, if you’re afraid, I can send you back to your room.”

Mei He shook his head slightly and said, “No, Yanyan said that the guest who is coming today has helped Sister a lot in the past. Xiao He should come to thank the guest.”

“Our Xiao He is so sensible!” Mei Shu couldn’t help but gently rub his head and take him to Chu Rui to explain to him. “This is also my younger brother. He has been sick and hasn’t seen strangers for a long time, so he’s a little afraid.”

Chu Rui walked to him carefully and greeted him softly, “Hello, Xiao He. Don’t be afraid. If you want, you can call me Brother. 1 won’t hurt you!”

At first, Mei He subconsciously hid behind Mei Shu timidly, but he quickly realized that this action might not be polite. He hurriedly mustered up the courage to stick his head out from behind Mei Shu. Although his voice was very soft, it was enough to be heard clearly.

“Hello, Brother Rui.”

Chu Rui smiled happily. He took the hand that Mei He handed over and led him to sit beside him. “Xiao He, you have to learn to be brave in the future. Your sister can’t protect you forever, but you can always protect your sister.”

Mei He listened in a daze and then nodded very seriously. “Xiao He will definitely protect Sister!”

“That’s right. Girls are all disadvantaged groups and need men to protect them in the first place. How can you keep hiding behind your sister? You should stand bravely in front of your sister like a man!” Chu Rui lectured Mei He, not noticing the awkward expressions of the people around him.

The young masters of the Mei family didn’t know if other girls were weak, but the only thing they knew was that Mei Shu was definitely not the kind of person who needed protection.

Besides, they didn’t agree that girls needed boys to protect them.

But Chu Rui meant well, so they certainly wouldn’t say anything.

Mei Feng changed the topic with a smile. “I heard from my sister that you’re going to a university in the capital, Brother Rui. It must be a very good school. If my sister goes to the capital in the future, she’ll need you to take care of her.”

Mei Feng was obviously more mature than his other brothers.

Chu Rui replied seriously, “That’s for sure. Your sister used to be called my lackey in our village. When her college entrance examination is over, try to get her to apply for a school near mine. This way, she can be closer to me. It’s very convenient for her to contact me if there’s anything. In fact, 1 know very well that Shu’er has always been very smart. If she could enter such a good high school earlier, she might be able to enter the liberal arts university next to mine!”

Mei Yan rolled his eyes and tentatively raised his hand to interrupt him. “Why can’t my sister go to the same university as you? Wouldn’t that be more convenient for you to take care of her?”

Chu Rui laughed out loud and said proudly, “1 went to the third-ranked normal university in the capital. If 1 insist on your sister getting into my school, it will be too difficult for her! I didn’t slack off in the entire high school to squeeze into the school!”

Mei Jing coughed dryly, trying to remind him that his sister was ranked second in No.i High School. How could she not be able to get into a normal university?

But Mei Feng interjected with a smile, “Actually, if Sister works hard, she can go to a university that she really wants to go to. It’s up to her which school she wants to apply to in the end.”

“Shu’er has always been very hardworking and 1 admire and also feel for her, but no matter how hardworking a girl is, she can’t compare to a boy. I just don’t want to give her too much pressure and make her too tired. She’s not bad now. When we reach the capital, no matter which school she chooses in the end, 1 will visit her. However, I still recommend her to a liberal arts school. That’s what girls should learn.”

Chu Rui was obviously very proud that he could get into such a good university. He went on at length, enthusiastically discussing Mei Shu’s application process.

Mei Yan was a little impatient.. He suddenly interrupted him and asked, “Brother Rui, what was your score for the college entrance examination?”
