The room was lit with a dim yellow light, a pair of red high heels lay scattered by the bed, clothes were crumpled into a ball on the bedside table, and stockings were hanging on it. Popular music played in the messy room, this was Meng Huan’s room.
Meng Yue sat beside her, looking at her helplessly, and said, “Alright, stop tossing around here, lie down obediently for a while, and see how it goes later. If it doesn’t get better, we’ll go to the hospital.”
Although Meng Huan was her twin sister, the two had completely opposite personalities. She could chat freely with strangers, much like Mo Wenli, both were quite outgoing. However, even though their personalities differed, it didn’t hinder their friendly relationship.
“My dear sister disregards our classmate ties, personally rushing over to heal my wounds, so touching.” Meng Huan heard this, put down her phone, wiped “tears” under her eyes with her hand, and secretly laughed with her head down.
An hour ago, Meng Huan had just gotten off work. She sprained her ankle on the way back. When she first injured it, she didn’t feel it too much. When she got home, she found that her ankle was swollen and she couldn’t walk properly. It hurt badly, so she called Meng Yue, hoping she could help her buy some medicine. So, upon receiving the call, Meng Yue rushed over.
“Cut it out, I only came because I finished eating, otherwise, I’d still be eating there, too lazy to bother with you, letting you scream yourself hoarse here without anyone answering.” Meng Yue was already used to her sister’s “acting,” and just smiled faintly.
Meng Huan didn’t continue studying after graduating from high school. It wasn’t that she didn’t get into college, her final grades were just enough for an ordinary third-tier university, but she didn’t go. Instead, she secretly found a job herself. She said she didn’t want to study anymore. Meng Yue also tried to persuade her for a long time. At that time, they really had no choice, their money and accommodation had been swindled away. Meng Yue felt very guilty about this, she thought it was all because of her.
As an older sister, having her younger sister work to support her was very painful. She knew that Meng Huan didn’t not want to study, maybe she wasn’t that excellent in her studies, but that didn’t mean she didn’t yearn for university. She remembered when she had just started university, she would often ask herself how things were going in school.
She owed her too much.

Afterwards, Meng Yue also wanted to work while studying to earn money, but this idea was stopped by Meng Huan. She said that she would earn the money, so Meng Yue didn’t have to worry. In the beginning, Meng Huan did earn a small amount of money, and only then did Meng Yue give up.
“How does it feel after the start of school, are your roommates nice? If they’re not good, come live with me outside, anyway, I’m very close to the school.” Meng Huan looked at the figure in front of her and said.
“It’s okay, one of them is quite talkative, not bad. I’m not too familiar with the other two, but don’t worry, I’ll be out often.”
Meng Huan’s current workplace is an entertainment venue called “White Night Remaining Fire” not far from the university. Before, she worked in the city center, but at the end of this summer, she was transferred here to be a small leader.
Why work in an entertainment venue? Meng Huan told Meng Yue that she could earn money quickly there, and a lot of it. Of course, this was indeed one of her purposes for working there. Being transferred there was also because it was very close to Jianghe University, so she could find her older sister in her spare time. For her, her older sister Meng Yue was greater than everything. She was always standing behind her, silently protecting her.
The two were constantly thinking about each other. Meng Huan could change and give up her future for her, and Meng Yue had to become better for her. Although, in a sense, the efforts of the two were not equal, it did not hinder the feelings between them, because only both parties knew whether they loved each other, and they could both receive this signal from each other.
“After all, my house is bigger and more beautiful, right!” Hearing Meng Yue’s answer, Meng Huan smiled.
Although it looks a lot better now, only she knew how difficult it was to get to where she is now, step by step. Perhaps she can now laugh off the contempt and abuse she suffers at work, but the various malicious things she encountered in the beginning also kept her awake at night, and she has also learned to accept some incomprehensible things with equanimity.
“It is indeed much better than last year. It seems that your salary has increased and your job has improved. On the other hand, I have studied for so many years and have nothing, and I still have to rely on my younger sister.” Meng Yue said with a smile.
The current house is very large, more than 100 square meters, with a refrigerator and washing machine, and the kitchen is also fully equipped. Even the open-air balcony next to it is large enough to lie down and sleep on, which makes Meng Yue quite emotional. The house Meng Huan rented two years ago was only 50 square meters, not too big or too small. Not long ago, she said she was promoted and is now the lobby manager, so she changed to a house. This building even has property management, and the surrounding environment is much better.
“Okay, I’ll go work for you after I graduate. So what if I have a master’s degree, I’ll still be your subordinate!”
The two sisters chatted until late at night. Meng Huan often told her about her work, such as a certain man bringing several groups of women in one night, a certain woman coming with different men for several days in a row, or who was drunk and going crazy in the private room, and which colleague sister had a strange boyfriend. In short, she liked to share the gossip she saw and heard, and she enjoyed it. Moreover, in entertainment venues, you can always see many new things. Meng Yue always listened quietly, and would occasionally exclaim in surprise. The room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
“It’s very late now, are you still going back tonight?” Meng Huan looked at Meng Yue and said.
“It’s very late, forget it, I’ll sleep here, and go back tomorrow, anyway, I’m not busy recently.”
“Oh right, that teacher at our school, what’s his name, Chen something Lin? What does he teach? I can’t remember clearly.”
Meng Huan’s words surprised Meng Yue a little, “Chen Xuelin, he happens to be my mentor.”
“Ah? Really? You just transferred there not long ago. Students often come to you there. I heard from them that this person is a celebrity at our school. I remember hearing this name years ago, I didn’t expect that he’s teaching at our school now.”
“I wasn’t here before, I’m not very clear. Is it true, is he like what they said, your mentor?”
“Well… it’s okay, he’s very young, not much different from us, he speaks very casually, he’s quite handsome, he looks pleasing to the eye.” Meng Yue recalled the scene when she first saw Chen Xuelin.
He is a teacher who studies microbiology, his lectures are humorous, and he always speaks in a slow and steady manner. No matter what questions students ask, he can answer calmly, and he looks very professional. Meng Yue doesn’t know his exact age, but he looks like a peer, she thinks, at most three years apart, the gap between them.
Apart from this, she doesn’t know much about this person. On the contrary, it seems that Mo Wenli knows him better. She heard that she would come to him to chat after class, and he would answer them one by one, even if they were not professional questions, including aspects of life and death, he would patiently answer, which made Meng Yue have a good impression of her mentor, because since she went to university, she felt that, apart from seeing the teacher in class, she basically couldn’t see them at other times, and there wasn’t even the feeling of relatively happy learning like in high school, it was just a feeling of “after class, you and I have no more connection.”
Meng Yue recognized Chen Xuelin’s concern for students as a teacher, and thought he was a good teacher.
“What do you mean ‘okay’, hey, am I good-looking or not.”
“What are you thinking? Dangerous thoughts are not allowed! Go to sleep!”
