Maria held her cup of fruit tea, sipping slowly, her expression calm as she replied, “Don’t joke around like that. What if your brother already has someone he likes?”
“He doesn’t! I can guarantee that!” Tiana immediately countered. “He’s a total blockhead. There was once a girl who tried to pursue him, and he asked her how she did on her physics exam. I couldn’t believe it!”
The girls around burst out laughing.
“Wait, so what? Does she need to outscore him in physics for him to even consider her?” one of the girls teased.
Tiana rolled her eyes. “No, no! If she did better than him, he’d start giving her the problems he couldn’t solve. If she didn’t, well, she wasn’t even qualified to help him solve anything.”
"Wow, sounds like your brother's pretty tough to deal with," someone remarked.
Tiana waved it off. "That was years ago. He’s grown up now—he's not like that anymore."
The group fell silent for a moment, absorbing the absurdity of Tiana’s brother.
By 3 PM, the plane landed.
The girls were already at the airport, waiting in the arrivals hall.
Tiana, still enthusiastically highlighting her brother’s virtues to Maria, suddenly turned and spotted a tall man emerging from the exit.
"Over here, bro!" she shouted, waving energetically.
Herman Evans, with a small suitcase in one hand, dressed in a casual jacket and wearing a warm smile, strode over to them.
“Tiana, you’re here early.”
Tiana replied with a smile, “Of course! You’re finally back—I had to come early! Not only that, but I brought my girlfriends along to welcome you. See how much I care?”
Herman’s gaze swept over the group of girls, and he gave a polite nod. "Thanks."
“No need to be so formal. So, are you staying for good this time, Herman?” one of the girls asked.
