Chapter 140: Struggle for Favor

“We’re back.”

As soon as Cheng Ming and Lin Jingyi entered the house, Cheng Li pounced on Cheng Ming’s arms and complained, “It’s too slow, you guys are too slow, just buying a vegetable, does it take so long? I wasn’t even as slow as you guys when I was a kid with soy sauce.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been this way, and I’ve spared the long way a little.”

Well, slightly, just slightly into the alley for a moment.

“Leigh, give me the lollipop you bought.”

“Don’t try to bribe and buy me off, I don’t eat this.” Cheng Li said stiffly, but her little hand still honestly took the lollipop, tore open the package, and held it in her mouth.

Don’t eat that, but eat the lollipop.

“Rhi, why are you snacking before dinner again? Itchy skin?” Li Ying reprimanded.

“It’s what Sister Lin gave me to eat.” Cheng Li hid behind Cheng Ming and innocently blinked her big eyes and said.

Li Ying tugged at Cheng Li’s tender face and said with a stern face, “The mouth grows on yourself or Jing Jing, sister-in-law is giving you candy because she loves you, you should say thank you first.”

“Eh eh eh, sister-in-law or something, it’s too early for me.” Lin Jingyi said handily.

“There’s no such thing as early or late.”

“Sister Lin, thank you.” Cheng Li said without words, wanting her to call out sister-in-law right now, there was no doorway.

You’ll be the sister-in-law when my brother and I are done.

“You’re welcome.”

There was still some time before dinner, and the kitchen was small enough to accommodate just the two adults, Ren Mei and Li Ying.

Lin Jingyi couldn’t help even if she wanted to, so she could only huddle with Cheng Ming and Cheng Li on the small sofa to watch TV.

Cheng Li sat on Cheng Ming’s lap, and Lin Jingyi tilted her head to lean on Cheng Ming’s shoulder, her chest next to his arm.

The hostile Cheng Li hugged Cheng Ming’s right arm and wrapped it around her waistline saying, “Don’t think you’ll win this way, I’m not going to have my brother cede to you, even if mom agrees with you, I won’t agree with you.”

“No need for you to let la, Kotomine will always be your brother.”

“I forgot to tell you, my brother is a hot commodity, even Sister Chen, who looks as pretty as I do, is interested in my brother, and when we play house, my brother is the father, and she wants to be the mother.”

Fight, fight, fight, and by the time you’ve both lost your fights, I’ll be lying in my brother’s bed getting high again and again.

“ZiYi and I are in the same class, I’ve known about this matter for a long time, but thanks to Ri for the reminder.”

Lin Jingyi narrowed her eyes and laughed, her small, cold hand reaching into Ming’s t-shirt and stroking up and down his neck vertebrae.

Even though he hadn’t done anything, Cheng Ming still felt a slight coolness.

“You still prefer me to be Xiao Ming’s girlfriend than Zi Yi, right? After all, we know each other very well.”

“None of them, it’s best if I come as my brother’s girlfriend.”

“Saying such things again, brother and sister are not allowed oh, you will be scolded by Auntie Lai.”

Cheng Li pouted and sophistically said, “It’s just that I can’t get married, it doesn’t say I can’t be my brother’s girlfriend.”

“Neither can a girlfriend.”

“Who said no, brother can have two girlfriends. One for marriage and the other is me, the unique sister girlfriend.”

“Ehhh, does that mean you’re scared? Scared that brother likes me more and doesn’t like you, it’s still too late for you not to be brother’s girlfriend.” Cheng Li playfully covered her mouth and mocked.

“Oh really? Ri you seem to have forgotten who Xiao Ming preferred to play with when he was little, do you need me to help you remember the same?”

“Not me?” Cheng Li asked back in shock.

“I’m the one who’s right, who was the one who couldn’t find his brother as a child and sat on the doorstep of his house and cried?”

“Hmph, who’s the one who sleeps with brother everyday? Any way you look at it, it’s me who spends more time with my brother.”

“My birthday and Ming’s are only a day apart, maybe even less than half a day, we were the first to be together, winning at the starting line, and all these years of missing time will just be made up in the future.”

“I’m the younger sister, and I’m starting at a higher level than you.”

“Brother!”

“Kotomine.”

“Who do you like better?”

Cheng Li and Lin Jingyi asked in unison.

You guys aren’t the twins Suzaku and Suzumi, can you please not have a double voice.

What a giveaway this is, and there’s an inexplicable familiarity to it.

Sitting on pins and needles, Cheng Ming asked, “Mom, can we start dinner?”

“What’s the rush to squeeze, wait another ten minutes.”

The rice recluse failed and had to go hard.

“Of course it’s all like.” Cheng Ming hugged the shoulders of the two and said, “For Xiao Li it’s a sister’s liking, for Jing Jing it’s a girlfriend’s liking, it’s not in the same zone, it can’t be compared.”

A perfect answer, Cheng Ming was a bit impressed with himself.

Cheng Li and Lin Jingyi revealed despicable looks and looked at Cheng Ming with a look of disgust.

“Well, it doesn’t matter to me, as long as brother likes me a little bit more, thank me, huh.” Cheng Li said in a tone of dislike.

Cheng Li first conceded, Lin Jingyi is also embarrassed to die to the end, hard to distinguish a high and low up and down out, so that Xiao Ming difficult to do.

Even jealous of your sister, isn’t this kind of girlfriend a bit too petty? She’ll be hated, right?

“Xiao Ming just needs to like us equally, Xiao Li’s share will be made up by me, and I’ll pamper you as well.” Lin Jingyi rubbed Cheng Li’s cute little face and said.

“Don’t need you to like it, it’s enough for me to just have my brother.” Cheng Li slapped away Lin Jingyi’s hand and said.

That’s good, that’s good. That’s it. They must think I’m joking. It’s childish.

What a convenient body for a small child.

The three of them snuggled up and watched a summer TV show.

“Watch Xiao Li’s favorite cartoon, it should be available now.” Lin Jingyi said as she thoughtfully changed the channel.

“Don’t keep treating me like a child, I’m about to watch a romance drama, don’t think I can’t understand it.”

Cheng Li grabbed the remote control and switched back to the TV station from earlier.

“Kids should watch what kids should watch, don’t be a hero.”

“No no, I’m not a little kid anymore, I’m going to be in middle school soon, just like you guys.”

“Ri, I’m sorry, but we’re going to be high school students soon.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a middle school student, or a high school student, it’s still a middle school student, just like it’s an elementary school student in first grade and fourth grade.”

These two are at it again.

However, from robbing people to robbing remote controls, Cheng Ming also had a rare moment of leisure.

“You want to watch a TV show now, brother, don’t you?”

“Ming, why don’t we just watch cartoons with Lai?”

It doesn’t matter what you read, right? Why did you make him do multiple choice again? Didn’t you just do that?

Too bad there aren’t two TVs, much less a split screen.

A compromise. Adult cartoons?

Lai Ying clapped his hands and shouted, “Let’s eat, where is the person who just shouted that he was hungry.”

“Coming.”

Lin Jingyi immediately stood up, although their relationship was already officially certified, in front of her parents, Lin Jingyi still wanted to restrain herself from acting overly intimate.

Lin Jingyi divided the dishes and asked, “Mom, didn’t dad come home for dinner tonight?”

“Oh, Xuejun and Old Cheng are eating out, so there’s no need to set out his chopsticks and bowl.”

The family, let’s just say the future family, enjoyed the meal together.

After the meal, Cheng Ming and Lin Jingyi consciously cleaned up the mess and let the two mothers go and rest for a while.

One cleans up the dishes to the sink and the other wipes the table.

One person washes the dishes while the other rinses them.

Of course, there is no shortage of Cheng Li who helps and adds to the mess, such as using a dirty rag to wipe the bowl that is clean.

Lin Jingyi sent Cheng Ming’s family downstairs, and before they parted, Cheng Ming whispered in Lin Jingyi’s ear, “I’ll come find you to play tomorrow, don’t run around.”

“Eh, my parents are home tomorrow.”

“I’ll take you out.”

Lin Jingyi had just returned to the house when her sister dragged her there and had a long conversation.

“Jing Jing, be honest with mom, how far have you and Xiao Ming progressed?”

“How far did what go, we were just together yesterday.”

“Don’t get sloppy, I’m asking if you guys kissed yet? Or did you do something more in-depth that would make babies without doing it, right?”

“Mom!”

Lin Jingyi shyly buried her head into Ren Mei’s arms and pouted.

“Don’t be shy, it’s just the two of us, is there anything we can’t say?”

“Just holding hands, kissing and hugging, no more.”

“Did it touch your boobs and ass?”

“Kotomine is not that rogue.”

“What’s so roguish about it, it’s not a normal thing to touch your favorite person here and there.” Ren Mei slapped Lin Jingyi’s buttocks and said, “Just in case, you guys wear this when you want to do that kind of thing.”

“You don’t do that kind of thing until you’re married!”

“Sooner or later you will go that far, mom is a veteran and still doesn’t understand you two youngsters, safety first, I’ve seen a lot of them over the years working in the Family Planning Bureau, unplanned pregnancies come to get an induced abortion certificate, and there are some of them around your age, all the consequences of not having a good sex education.”

“I’ll give you a box first, and you can get it from me when you run out.”

How’s that for a good story.

“It’s okay for you guys to go directly to the side of the Family Planning Bureau to receive it, don’t do it during your regular vacation you know? It’s easy to get infected with bacteria, it’s fine when you’re young, but when you’re old you’ll have all kinds of gynecological diseases, take care of your body.”

Downstairs, Cheng Ming similarly welcomed his mom’s pressing questions.

“Did your dad buy you this motorcycle?”

“Right.”

Dad’s ridden it twice too, so take the blame.

“That deadbeat! If you have a few dollars, you’ll spend it recklessly. Xiao Ming, how far have you and Jing Jing progressed?”

Cheng Li, who was sitting at the front of the car, pricked up her ears and listened carefully, she was also concerned about this matter.

What Lin Jingyi and her brother had done, she was going to do again, and what she hadn’t done, she was going to do even more, and the timing was on her side.

“Eh, just snuggling and kissing and cuddling, no more.”

“Brat, if you dare to make Jing Jing cry, break up and spoil this marriage, I’ll break your dog’s legs at the first opportunity, your mom’s friends are already few and far between, and Auntie Ren is considered to be one of my few close friends. If you make mom lose this friend, and don’t dare to contact and meet in the future, making it like an enemy, you don’t have to be my son anymore.”

“Mom, am I really your own?”

Cheng Ming first sent his mom back to the temporary living place in the staff dormitory building.

“Little Ri, are you going to spend the night on mom’s side?” Li Ying asked.

“Sleep over at Daddy’s tonight and then come over tomorrow to stay with Mommy.”

“Well good, Ming, remember to buy some tangerines or oranges to go back and keep them at home, your dad is often drunk, he can’t do without something to sober up, it’s hard to be half dead the next day.”

Isn’t he still concerned about Dad?

Arriving at his new home, as soon as Cheng Ming opened the door, he heard the deafening sound of gunfire, coming from the television set, and a pungent odor of alcohol.

“Dad, the oranges, Mom made me buy them.”

“Ri came over to play ah, your mom is actually very afraid of lonely people, remember to spend more time with her.”

This concern comes and goes. I don’t know what they’re up to. Thirty or forty years old and in love again?

Dad was in the house, the aura was there.

Cheng Li didn’t dare to take a bath with his brother, or even enter his brother’s room.

The empty new room held only the loot caught in the game room today.

The sound of the TV in the living room was gone, so Dad should have gone back to bed.

Cheng Li, who was in control of this information, hugged his pillow, tiptoed and pushed open the door towards the next room.

I’m open.

Cheng Li pressed the door handle.

It won’t open.

Brother actually unlocked, good guy, really dare ah, later will be served by the family law.

But there was a second way to go, Cheng Li opened the door to the balcony and realized that his brother’s room was still lit up and he wasn’t asleep yet.

The door to the balcony was closed, but the window left a small gap.

Cheng Li pushed open the window and threw the pillow in first, bracing his hands on the edge of the window and trying to climb in.

Nay, the wall was too high, and his legs were short and weak, so he could only bounce in place and emerge with a small head.

Cheng Ming is drumming up a new computer, there are so many things to install and debug.

Cheng Ming, who heard the commotion, turned back to see his sister outside the window and asked in a good-natured manner, “What are you doing?”

“Brother, I can’t sleep, I can’t get used to the new bed.”

Make a habit of sleeping in old beds as you do.

“Can’t you just walk through the door properly?”

“You think I don’t want to go through the door? It’s you, brother, who forced me to, and you actually locked the door, how dare you.” Cheng Li crossed her arms and stomped her feet.

“The door on this side is unlocked, leaving the back door open for you.”

Cheng Ming opened the door to the balcony, in fact, he had thought about a new home and a new atmosphere.

My sister is also in middle school, so I really can’t sleep together this time, so I’m going to make a break for it, and lock the door behind me, hoping that my sister will know what’s going on.

But Cheng Ming didn’t dare to take things to the extreme, the door to the balcony was unlocked, and even the windows weren’t closed tightly, and the curtains weren’t drawn.

Both were afraid of my sister knocking on the door and yelling, “Brother, let me in.”

Or perhaps Cheng Ming has other non-concerns in his mind.

The person who did the whole thing for the first time was Xu Juan, and the person who did it the most times was Zhao Ren, but the real first time was ……

“Quickly carry me inside.” Cheng Li said as she raised her arms and stood on her tiptoes.

Cheng Ming’s hands went through Cheng Li’s armpits and picked her up high above her head.

“So heavy, so heavy.”

“It’s not heavy at all.”

Cheng Li’s feet clamped around Cheng Ming’s neck, unable to see anything, the head-heavy, off-balance two people heavily slammed into the bed, making a loud ‘bang’ sound.

Sitting on Cheng Ming’s face, Cheng Li held his head with one hand, and with the other hand, she put up her index finger and placed it on her soft lips, and ground her head, “Shhh, don’t wake up daddy.”

“Woo-woo-woo ……”

Cheng Ming could only make mumbling noises that were not clearly contained.

You know what’s great, right? This is the sister’s family law lynching. See if you dare to lock the door in the future.
