Chapter 21: 21

During self-study on Sunday night, Cheng Nian took out a beautiful globe from her bag and gave it to Xie Junyu.

“I don’t know what you like, so I chose this lamp on my own. Thank you for the last time.”

Xie Junyu looked indifferent, as if he didn’t intend to accept it.

Seeing that he was not very interested, Cheng Nian explained: “This lamp is very beautiful. When it is turned on, it will be a world map, and the colors can be changed.”

Cheng Nian was about to open the display, but Xie Junyu pressed the box, took it and stuffed it into the drawer.

“Thanks.”

Cheng Nian smiled and added: “It must look good on the bedside.”

Seeing that Xie Junyu didn’t respond to her intentions, Cheng Nian put away the smile on her face in embarrassment, opened the exercise book set aside and started to write.

Xie Junyu read with his head propped up, but his eyes flickered across Cheng Nian’s face from time to time.

On the podium, Li Shubai kept staring at the two of them.

Suddenly, Xie Junyu raised his head.

The four eyes met, and the sound of electric sparks suddenly sounded in the air.

There was no trace of embarrassment on Xie Junyu’s face, and his calm gaze made Li Shubai’s anxiety instantly invisible.

He glanced at Li Shubai indifferently, and then returned to Cheng Nian.

The girl who concentrated on writing the topic was unaware of all this.

It was a holiday on Friday, and Cheng Nian carried her schoolbag to the place where the eDonkey was parked.

As soon as she put the key in, she heard a voice behind me.

“I’ll see you off.”

Cheng Nian looked back and saw Xie Junyu standing there with empty hands.

She was stunned for a moment, feeling that their relationship didn’t seem to be that good, and said a little embarrassedly: “Ah? Is it convienent?”

Xie Junyu walked towards Cheng Nian, put his hand on the handlebar, and said expressionlessly: “Those little bastards may still block you.”

He got too close, and the pleasant woody scent of his body got into Cheng Nian’s nose, and she was forced out of the seat directly.

She responded in a daze, and obediently sat in the back seat.

When they arrived at Cheng’s house, Xie Junyu put down Cheng Nian and left without saying a word.

Cheng Nian wanted to say thank you but didn’t have time.

Looking at Xie Junyu stoic back, Cheng Nian smiled helplessly, feeling that he is really a strange person.

After dinner, Cheng Nian went back to her room to do her homework, and before she knew it, it was past eleven o’clock at night.

Summer has come to an end, but the scorching heat still seems attached to the earth and refuses to leave.

Cheng Nian opened the window to let the lukewarm air blow in.

In the dark night, a gentle moon hangs there far away, melodiously swaying towards the world like silver light.

Cheng Nian stretched, turned to the next page of the exercise book, and it was already early morning when she lay down on the bed.

Although she no longer went to make up lessons, Cheng Nian’s work and rest habits made her open her eyes at half past six the next day.

She was going to sleep for a while, when she heard the Lao Chengtou knocking on her door.

“Nian Nian, get up quickly, your classmate is here.”

Cheng Nian frowned, wondering which classmate would come to her home directly.

She responded, got up from the bed and got dressed.

Yawning and walking to the living room, when she saw the person sitting on the sofa, Cheng Nian was so shocked that she suppressed the rest of the yawn, and said in surprise.

“Why are you here?”

Li Shubai glanced at her, but didn’t speak.

Su Huiyu and Lao Chengtou had the habit of doing morning exercises, so they also packed up and came to the living room at this time.

Hearing Cheng Nian’s impatient tone, Lao Chengtou reprimanded: “Nian Nian, how do you talk?”

Su Huiyu walked over and smiled gracefully at Li Shubai, “She is just spoiled by us.”

Cheng Nian rolled her eyes in anger, and roared in her heart: Mom, don’t think he is a good person just because he looks good.

Li Shubai said politely, “Auntie, I’m here to help Cheng Nian with her homework.”

Lao Chentoou patted his slightly fat stomach, and suddenly said: “You are the one who has been giving Niannian extra lessons.”

Li Shubai nodded.

Su Huiyu smiled and waved her hands, “Then go quickly.”

Seeing that Li Shubai had captured her parents so easily, Cheng Nian felt displeased and said angrily, “Mom, I haven’t eaten yet.”

Su Huiyu flicked her clever ear-level curly hair, and Cheng Nian blinked, “Mom will bring it for you when she comes back.”

After Lao Chengtou and Su Huiyu left, only Cheng Nian and Li Shubai were left in the room.

Cheng Nian didn’t care that she was still wearing bear pajamas, walked over to Li Shubai and sternly said.

“What the hell are you trying to do?”

Li Shubai lowered his head halfway as if aggrieved, his eyes seemed to be red, and he whispered.

“My mother is not in good health recently. Let me ask you if you still want to make up lessons.”

Li Shubai didn’t lie, Li Ying did catch a cold, so there was no strangeness or guilt on his face.

When had Cheng Nian ever seen him like this, his brows furrowed, and an indescribable pain came from his heart.

Knowing that Li Shubai would definitely not take her money for nothing, Cheng Nian gave him another look, sat down on the sofa, stared at the bright crystal lamp hanging above the living room for a while, and said helplessly for a long time.

“Okay, okay, I see, come with me.”

Li Shubai picked up his schoolbag, and an imperceptible cunning flashed in his eyes.

The table in Cheng Nian’s room was a bit small, although the two of them could not sit next to each other, there was not much room for movement.

An hour later, Su Huiyu knocked on Cheng Nian’s door with breakfast in hand.

Seeing Cheng Nian sitting by the bed doing homework, she called for Lao Chengtou.

“Niannian should change to a bigger table.”

While Cheng Nian and Li Shubai were eating, he took a tape measure and took various measurements in her room. After recording the measurements, he and Su Huiyu went straight to the furniture store.

Cheng Nian always wondered if they should be so exaggerated, as if Li Shubai was the biological son of this family who had been lost for many years.

Why not just clean up a bedroom for him alone.

Seeing Cheng Nian’s resentment and dissatisfaction, Li Shubai couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Cheng Nian glared at him, and his tone was not very good, “What are you laughing at?”

Li Shubai looked at her tenderly, “I just think uncle and aunt treat you very well.”

Cheng Nian snorted, and said angrily in her heart: How did you treat such good father-in-law and mother-in-law?! You won’t let them see your precious daughter.

Li Shubai thought that Cheng Nian found them annoying, and added: “You should treat them better.”

Cheng Nian put down her chopsticks and said angrily, “I’ll teach you.”

Li Shubai paused, not understanding why Cheng Nian suddenly became so hostile towards him, so he shut his mouth embarrassingly.

Cheng Nian was a little embarrassed when she realized that she was angry with Li Shubai because of the past.

She got up and collected the bowls and chopsticks in front of the two of them, and said in a muffled voice, “I see.”

At noon, Lao Chengtou came back with a pickup truck.

Cheng Nian shook her head repeatedly when she saw the things in the yard from the window.

“Did my dad move the whole furniture city back?”
