First Semester: Chapter 1 - The Eve of Enrollment. It was night, and Yuan Yuyuan was having a conversation with his father that was not meant for outsiders. "Yuyuan, tomorrow you head off to Advanced Nurturing High School. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you for the next three years. Once you're at school, you must listen to Uncle Sakanayanagi. In three years, I will personally go to the school gate to pick you up and host a banquet to celebrate your return." "...Understood, Father. Is there anything else you need to instruct me on?" Yuan Yuyuan looked at his father, who was trying his best to feign sadness but could not hide the smile on his face, and felt an indescribable sensation. "Don't look so gloomy. You are shouldering the heavy responsibility of scouting the path and protecting Yuye. If I were a few decades younger, do you think such a good opportunity would ever fall to you?" Yuan Yuyuan's father, however, did not care about his eldest son's dissatisfaction and, without a shred of shame, uttered words befitting a severe daughter-obsessed parent. Truly worthy of being an adult; he could ignore someone else's awkwardness with a straight face and impose his own preferences on his son so naturally. Is this a twisted form of wanting one's child to succeed? Although he thought this in his heart, Yuan Yuyuan, who dared not question his father, had to make a solemn vow: "Yes, Father. I guarantee I will complete the mission perfectly. I will definitely not let Yuye be bullied after she enrolls." The man finally showed a satisfied smile for the first time and patted Yuan Yuyuan on the shoulder. "Very good. Protecting your younger sister is your primary task as an older brother. You must carry this task with you all the way to your grave." "Yes, Father. Then I will return to my room to prepare." Should one call this man pathetic? Occupying a high position yet being an out-and-out daughter-obsessed parent. The reason he sent his only son to Advanced Nurturing High School was simply because his daughter had a whim to apply there in the future. He wanted to ensure that when she enrolled, there would be a senior brother there to take care of her. Honestly, would such a father really let him inherit the family business? Thinking of this, a bead of cold sweat broke out on Yuan Yuyuan's forehead. When the time comes, this man will probably hand everything he owns to his daughter. Being a daughter-obsessed parent is truly something else--! "Go on, go on. Sending you to Advanced Nurturing was a last-minute decision. Before this, Sakanayanagi had inadvertently revealed quite a bit of information. Don't let me down." After saying this, the man waved his hand impatiently, as if his son were some kind of filth, and sent him away. "Tch, where did you come from, you daughter-obsessed freak? You are destined to live a relatively failed life. Did he want to strangle me the moment I was born when he found out I was a boy!?" After closing the door, standing outside with rich body language, pointing at the room while muttering to himself, the person in question felt his mouth twitch when he reached this point. "Haha, what a cold joke. Better go back to my room to warm up." "Brother, did Father give you any instructions?" On the way back to his room, Yuan Yuyuan saw his younger sister, Yuan Yuye, acting suspiciously in front of her own door. No, can this be called the same? He had just been throwing a tantrum in front of the head of the family's door, railing against the daughter-obsessed freak for daring to discriminate against males, and posing the soul-searching question: 'When will men truly stand up?' He had to strictly draw a line between himself and that behavior. "Why is Brother showing such an evil smile at his own sister? Where on earth did you come from, you pervert?" "Just thinking about it, you know it couldn't be that kind of thing. I'm just happy thinking about how I'll be able to see your brother acting like a big shot when my precious sister enrolls next year." Caught by his sister, Yuan Yuyuan quickly wiped away his perverted smile, skillfully deceiving his naive sister. "Eh? But would you show that kind of smile just thinking about that?" "Of course. By the way, Yuye, is there something you need from Brother? Please, just like with Father, entrust everything to me, your older brother!" Seeing Yuan Yuye frowning and looking at him with full suspicion, Yuan Yuyuan had to quickly play the victim to change the subject. "Yuye came to cheer for Brother. Next year, Brother must become a reliable senior (??????)!!" "Of course. Brother will also protect Yuye well after you enroll." "But is it really okay? Even though Brother didn't need to go to school, I couldn't talk Father out of his decision." "How could that be? Yuye is Brother's only sister. Fighting for my sister is the supreme honor of being an older brother." Sob, sob, my cute sister is just too young. How could that daughter-obsessed man listen? Or rather, he was probably dying to send him away. After all, he was just an insignificant son; keeping him at home was just a waste of food. "Alright, it's getting late. Yuye should go to sleep too. Brother is going back to his room to collect his thoughts. After all, I won't be able to see my cute little Yuye for a whole year." "Okay, Brother, sleep early. Good night." "Good night, Yuye." After sending Yuan Yuye away, Yuan Yuyuan stood in place and sighed. "Sigh, even though my sister is so cute, looking at those parents who treat their son like dirt, what kind of feelings did they have while raising me?"

First Semester: Chapter 2 - Encountering an Angel on the Bus. Although he had a deep connection with the Sakanayanagi family, Yuan Yuyuan's information was limited to the fact that only Class A could enjoy special treatment, and that class points determined the class ranking. As for how to obtain class points, he had absolutely no concept. Refusing the luxury car pickup suggested by the butler, Yuan Yuyuan sat on the bus heading to Advanced Nurturing. Looking at the girl who sat down next to him—she had long, strawberry-blonde hair, a beautiful face, and possessed a "huge evil"—he suddenly realized that campus life wasn't just about fighting and killing! Speaking of the butler's suggestion, I have to mention that the couple who were his parents had no intention of seeing their son off on the day of his enrollment. The only ones at the door to see him off were the butler and his sister. How filial of them. "Sure enough, because I was tainted by some misfortune, my later years are destined to be ominous." Yuan Yuyuan muttered to himself, recalling his miserable life. "Why do you say that? Did something unhappy happen?" "Ah? No, it's nothing. Please don't mind it." Yuan Yuyuan didn't expect the girl beside him to suddenly strike up a conversation. Caught off guard, he had to resort to a triple denial. "Um, this classmate..." "I'm Ichinose Honami from Class 1-B. You can just call me Ichinose or Honami. Please treat me well." Ichinose introduced herself with a bright smile. Yuan Yuyuan looked over and felt as if a pair of wings were growing behind her. This child is truly kind. "Yes, my name is Yuan Yuyuan, also from Class 1-B. Please treat me well." "Mm-hmm. Come to think of it, we're classmates. Is there something bothering you, Yuyuan-kun?" Ichinose tilted her head cutely and said, "If you can, please tell me. You'll feel better if you let it out." To say such thoughtful words to a classmate she was meeting for the first time—this child must be an angel! "It's just that my parents didn't even say goodbye before heading back to the company, even though they won't see me for three years. It's nothing major." "So that's how it is. Yuyuan-kun seems used to it. Could it be that your parents... I'm so sorry."
