The Rebirth of the Best Female Ruler in School

Chapter 2: Big Brother Who Loves Jian Ai

The early spring evenings are still a little cold, especially in Baiyun City, an economic city located in the northern tip of China.

Jian Ai sat on the living room sofa with a blanket covering her shoulders. On the coffee table in front of him was a steaming hot meal like fried eggs with tomatoes, sweet sour pork, and a bowl of soup with fish heads and tofu.

There were two clean red apples next to the plate, and it proved to be the most expensive apple in the fruit stall. His mother always treated him like this. Although her family background was not good, her mother always tried to give her best in terms of eating and studying.

Right now, Wang Yunmei was already out of work. After Jian Ai finished eating, she changed into clean clothes and tied her hair into a ponytail. He looked at himself in the mirror before putting on his shoes and leaving.

In April and May, Baiyun City was as wet and cold as late autumn. Jian Ai wrapped her coat tightly around her and looked around while remembering everything she had known during her childhood.

Baiyun City was the provincial capital located in Jin Province in the north. The city is considered an important trade center and economic city divided into five main districts namely Haicheng District, Zhonglou District, South City District, North City District, and Wanbao District.

The most prosperous city center was Haicheng District, while Jian Ai's home was in the Southern City District which was also known as the slum area. Most residents of the Southern City District lived in poverty, and they could count the number of tall buildings in the entire district with one hand. Most are flat houses or residential buildings as high as two or three floors. In the bustling Baiyun City, this place seemed out of place.

After walking for more than half an hour, Jian Ai stopped in front of the Starlight Bar in Zhonglou District. Many young men gathered in groups at the entrance of the bar, everywhere heard a deafening sound. Jian Ai was a little nervous, but she was more excited and hopeful because her brother, Jian Yu, worked here.

To earn more money to complete his studies at university, his brother went with the construction team to do construction work in his previous life. He has done hard work and spent all his youth. It was unexpected that there was a falling object that took his life at the construction site. Until now, Jian Ai still did not dare to think about the scene of seeing his brother's corpse.

“Little girl, are you looking for someone? We can't let the kids get inside here.”

As soon as he reached the main entrance, a blonde with a cigarette in her mouth looked at Jian Ai and asked. The blonde doesn't look like a nice person, but her tone is polite.

Jian Ai stopped and looked at the blonde before nodding. "I'm looking for someone."

The blonde stood up and measured Jian Ai. He puffed up the smoke and raised his eyebrows. "Who are you looking for? There are no customers here!"

"I'm not here to find customers. I'm looking for Jian Yu. He is here as a security guard," Jian Ai said quickly.

"Oh, you're looking for Jian Yu!" The blonde could not help but look towards Jian Ai meaningfully. Then, he smiled and said, "Wait at the door. I'll come in and call him for you."

As the blonde entered the bar, Jian Ai sighed deeply.

Starlight Bar is considered the best bar in Zhonglou District. Young people like to come to such places, and many young dropouts around them are willing to work in such places. Their work is only at night, and they can earn eight hundred or a thousand yuan in a month. For someone in their twenties, this is considered a considerable income.

His elder brother Jian Yu was four years older than him and only eighteen years old. He had been working as a security guard at Starlight Bar for almost a year. Her brother loved her very much. Jian Ai still remembered that every time he received his salary every first day of every month, his elder brother would secretly give half of his money as pocket money. The rest of the money will go to his mother, so he only has a few dozen dollars.

"Well, that girl in the white shirt!"

As soon as he walked out of the bar, Jian Yu saw Jian Ai. He raised his hand and slapped the back of the blonde's head. "Son, dammit. That's my brother!"

Jian Yu was 1.8 meters tall, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked extremely energetic. As he spoke, he frowned. His brows were filled with worry for Jian Ai.

Looking at his elder brother, Jian Ai once again felt as if it had happened for a lifetime. His heart warmed, and he felt his throat choking. She almost wanted to cry.

“What's up, Xiao Ai? I'm asking you a question!” Jian Yu became even more nervous now that Jian Ai was speechless.

Jian Ai immediately recovered from his inertia and said, "I'm fine, Brother. I just got out for a walk. I just want to see you."

Their home was in the Southern City District, and the place it was in now was in Zhonglou District. On foot, it takes at least half an hour to get there. Hearing Jian Ai walk over, Jian Yu could not get angry. He was worried, and his heart hurt.

"Er Zi, I have to take my sister home. Help me ask Brother Dong for permission." Jian Yu suddenly turned around and shouted at the blonde who was looking from afar.

The blonde gestured to show that she had received the message. Seeing this, Jian Ai smiled shyly. "Sorry to trouble you, brother."

Hearing this, Jian Yu smiled helplessly. "It's okay. Anyway, it's not the weekend yet. The bar is not busy. I'm worried if you go home alone."

Jian Ai immediately went up and hugged Jian Yu's arm. Her brother was tall and strong, making her feel safe. He and his mother used to love walking with him like that.

"This is for you." Jian Yu suddenly took out a small object from his pocket and handed it to Jian Ai.

Jian Ai looked up and saw a pair of hairpins with the character of Little Ball.

"Thank you brother." Jian Ai accepted it happily. He looked up and smiled grinning.

Jian Yu smiled and said affectionately, "I saw him at the night market by accident. Don't you like Little Peaches? Don't stand at the ceremony with me for two yuan."

"What Small Persik? His name is Little Ball." Jian Ai smiled.

“Sure, sure. Small Ball.”

The brothers walked towards Jian Yu's motorcycle.

On the way home, Jian Ai sat in the back seat with her hands wrapped around Jian Yu's waist. The night wind of Baiyun City blew on his face, cold and wet. However, at this moment, Jian Ai's heart felt extremely warm and unprecedented.

Before sleeping that night, Jian Ai packed her school bag, took out her school uniform, and ironed it. She had a high fever a few days ago and had not been in school for a few days. Now, he no longer felt unwell. Although Jian Ai still remembered the things he had learned in his previous life, he still planned to return to school tomorrow.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but lying on the bed, Jian Ai could not fall asleep for a long time. It was as if he was worried that everything would disappear once he woke up. She would become a successful businesswoman again, and she could no longer meet her mother and brother.
