They had all, without exception, envied their friend for having such an outstanding and caring older brother.
Xiuxiu's brother was the classic example of someone else's older brother.
Oh...
Xiuxiu's brother...
Thinking of his gentle, refined manner, Xie Chuchu nodded.
Indeed.
He looked like the sort of person children would adore.
She had a feeling that even the naughtiest child would turn into a well-behaved, obedient cat with its fur stroked the right way in front of him.
Hmm.
Xie Chuchu rubbed her chin.
Was she wearing too rose-tinted a lens when it came to her friend's brother?

What if the child was "too clever for his own good"? With her friend's brother's gentle nature, he might well end up being bullied.

The woman had a distinctly teacherly air about her.
"Hello."
The teacher paused in surprise.
Then she smiled.
"You're Xue Jiamin's older sister?"
"Yes."
Xie Chuchu nodded.
The child was from one of her mother's relatives.
Naturally, they didn't
