    Chapter Index

    On the way back to his new home, Cheng Li sat in front and asked, “Who else knows that brother you slept at Ye Mei’s house last night?”

    “Besides Ye Mei herself, only Xu Juan knows that I didn’t go back to my new home to sleep, and she answered the phone call from Chen Ziyi last night, so I don’t know if she’s going to tell Chen Ziyi or not, but no one else.”

    “Then we’ll tell Xu Juan that you slept in my bed last night, brother. Alas, the only person who thinks so much of brother is your sister me.”

    Is it really for your brother’s sake?

    Cheng Ming felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell.

    As soon as Cheng Li and Xu Juan met, the two of them went to a corner to whisper and exchange information.

    Cheng Ming, on the other hand, went to take a shower before going back to his room to deal with his emails, lest Elder Brother Wen’s sister bombard him with spam and emails again.

    I didn’t manage to perform well in front of Xu Juan yesterday, leaving her alone and lonely at home eating instant noodles.

    Cheng Ming is going to show his skills today, directly grabbing her stomach and then opening her heart and body ……

    Hey.

    The lunch Cheng Ming made with all his might, Xu Juan finished it very plainly, without even a word of deliciousness.

    “Xu Juan, how was it? Is my cooking good?” Cheng Ming asked excitedly.

    “Not bad.” Xu Juan replied perfunctorily.

    Cheng Ming slumped his shoulders, flooded with powerless frustration.

    Does this route of the Raiders not work?

    Raiding girls who shouldn’t be raided in a haphazard manner, and the girls who want to be raided are still in the same place.

    This is true for Rei, and it is also true for Xu Juan.

    Rei is too young and destined to have to take the long route to development, and Xu Juan is greasy and has no clear preferences, making it impossible to get started.

    Take your time ……

    Cheng Ming could only comfort himself in this way.

    In the afternoon, Jing brought her copied test papers as usual and studied with Cheng Ming.

    Compared to Cheng Ming, Xu Juan needed more remedial lessons. Even though she stayed at home and read books every day, her academic performance wasn’t great, she was heavily biased and crippled in science.

    Ineffective, unconscious self-study at home and an instinctive aversion to learning are among the reasons.

    The other reason is that Chen Ziyi has planted various novels on her.

    Cheng Ming rightly pulled Xu Juan in to study together, and the later division of classes is not yet known. But the first half of the first year of high school is at least in the same class.

    Enhancing relationships while learning.

    Cheng Ming had a good idea, and the ideal picture was him being sandwiched between Jing Jing and Xu Juan, with his sister in his arms.

    But in reality it was Jing Jing who was sandwiched between him and Xu Juan, with her sister in her arms instead.

    It’s a hot day and you can’t even drive your sister away.

    Lin Jingyi looked at Xu Juan’s manuscript paper in shock and said, “How come you don’t even understand such a simple topic, it’s a giveaway, when you go to high school, you still have to learn new knowledge, if you skip too many classes in middle school, high school will be a painful learning experience, and the more you don’t want to learn, creating a vicious cycle, let me teach you how to solve this problem… . get it?”

    “Uh-huh.”

    “It’s too low to hear.”

    “Got it!”

    Xu Juan shouted with all her might, even breaking her voice a bit.

    Cheng Ming and Cheng Li were both startled as it was the first time they heard her use a growl.

    “Okay, I’ll come up with another similar question for you to solve.”

    “Quiet, I’m done writing.”

    Cheng Ming handed over the roll.

    “Leave it, I’ll check it later.” Lin Jingyi said without looking back, her mind on Xu Juan, the two of them sticking close together.

    Cheng Ming stole the chicken and tried to do bad things in front of his girlfriend or went too far.

    “That’s it for now then, I’ve left some questions for you on my side, finish them and I’ll come check them tomorrow, Ming, you’re not allowed to help her.”

    “It’s not okay for me to help her answer questions about what she doesn’t understand?”

    “No way!” Lin Jingyi said resolutely.

    “I’ve lectured plainly, and the questions I’ve given are all within the scope of today’s explanation. If you help her, I won’t know if she studied seriously this afternoon, let alone which areas she needs to strengthen, the novel is confiscated first.”

    Xu Juan said seriously, “I’ll be cheering.”

    “It’s four-thirty, I’m going home first.”

    Lin Jingyi packed her things and got up to say goodbye.

    “Won’t you stay for dinner before you go? I cooked it myself.”

    “No, my dad will be home for dinner too, and I’ll feel like something is missing if I’m missing.”

    Due to the big change in the family, Uncle Lin has become more caring, and Auntie Ren and Jing Jing treasure the time the family spends together.

    “Then I’ll give you a ride.”

    “Not trying to do something bad, are you?”

    “Really wanted to give it to you, what do you take me for.”

    That being said, there is not a single bad thing that should be done.

    Perhaps because of the sudden attack Ye Mei had engaged in the morning, Cheng Ming became even more enamored with Jing’s body.

    Cheng Ming also bought fresh meat, vegetables and eggs when he came back, as well as a recipe book, intending to study the new dishes.

    Xu Juan didn’t know when she slipped into the kitchen and silently looked at Cheng Ming without saying a word.

    “Hungry?” Cheng Ming guessed.

    Xu Juan nodded and then shook her head, completely unable to understand ah hello.

    “Just wait a little longer, it’ll be ready soon.”

    That being said, Cheng Ming didn’t even turn on the fire.

    “Can you teach me to cook?”

    “You want to learn to cook?”

    “No?”

    Xu Juan nodded slightly and crossed her arms, her fingertips touching together uneasily. Although she didn’t say much and her boss had a poker face, upon closer inspection, her body language was quite rich.

    “Yes, of course, it’s a good thing.”

    It was completely out of Cheng Ming’s expectation, but it made sense.

    Compared to her previous life, the gap in standard of living was undoubtedly the largest, and even food and clothing almost became a problem, much less extra ingredients for Xu Juan to use for her studies to splurge on.

    Again, there is a difference in people.

    Cheng Ming no longer manipulates Xu Juan and treats her like a doll, but treats her gently and respects her ideas.

    The family is also bustling with activity, with Chen Ziyi lending her books to read and Jing Jing teaching her how to study.

    His sister in his previous life could treat Xu Juan even less well than Cheng Ming, and the two of them couldn’t be said to be good friends now, but at least they weren’t bad.

    As for Xu Juan’s motivation for wanting to learn how to cook, it could be that she wants to help Aunt Lian share her worries.

    After all, it’s a foster home, and you can’t rest easy until you find something to do.

    “Does the rice cooker work?”

    “No.”

    “It’s easy, any elementary school student would know how to do it, first you pan the rice, and if the water is deep, it’s almost a knuckle long.”

    Cheng Ming demonstrated before handing the rice cooker’s liner to Xu Juan.

    “You try ……”

    Xu Juan modeled her operation after Cheng Ming’s, locking the lid of the rice cooker and pressing the cook button.

    “Wasn’t that easy?”

    “Easier than studying.”

    Cheng Ming cried and laughed, “You can’t fall behind in your studies either.”

    “Do you want to cut the green onions?” Xu Juan asked as she picked up the brightly colored kitchen knife.

    “Wait, put the knife down first, it’s dangerous.”

    Cheng Ming hurriedly grabbed the back of Xu Juan’s hand and pressed it down on the cutting board along with the kitchen knife.

    “I still know how to cut vegetables, I used to help my mom cut pig food back home.”

    “Really? Then what’s with the scar on your left index finger.”

    Although the scars are faint, they still stand out when viewed up close.

    “I didn’t have enough to eat that day, and I was a little dizzy, so I cut my hand.”

    “Now you can have your fill every day, stop cutting into your hands, and your posture doesn’t work, no wonder you cut into your hands, I’ll teach you.”

    Cheng Ming stood behind Xu Juan, his forehead pressed against her back, his chin resting on her shoulder, his hands holding the back of her hands, one hand picking up the kitchen knife, the other holding down the scallions.

    “Fingers should be held in the shape of a cat’s hand, the so-called cat’s paw, that is, the finger pressing the vegetables into the palm concave, with the knuckles and chopper contact, so as not to see the blood of the fingertips, cut vegetables do not rush, do not try to be fast, cut not good, very long it does not matter, cut the second knife on the good ……”

    Cheng Ming grabbed Xu Juan’s hand and sliced it a few times.

    “What are you guys doing in the kitchen! Stealing a solitary meal from me?”

    Cheng Li approached the kitchen and saw the two people who were pressed close together, his fists involuntarily clenched.

    Good lord, it’s only been a few minutes since I’ve been staring and I’m doing it, and I’m really stealing food!

    “Oh, Xu Juan wants to learn how to cook, I’ll teach her.”

    “Is it necessary to cook so close?”

    “Hands on, I’m afraid she’ll cut her hand, what’s the problem?”

    “The problem is much bigger, I’m going to tell Sister Jingyi that you cheated on your brother.” Cheng Li huffed and puffed up her cheeks and said.

    “Eh?”

    That’s not what you said in the morning.

    Brother, you’ve been lusting after Xu Juan for a long time, haven’t you?

    I just said I’d cover for you in the morning, but it’s only evening and I can’t control myself. It’s only been one day since I weaned. You’re so horny.

    Although Cheng Li wants her brother to become a slag, she is not this kind of slag method ah, the thing that green her in front of her face will never be allowed to happen a second time.

    She has to defend the dignity of the reborn, and the negative idea that if she gets screwed it’s a success has to be dropped.

    Cheng Li carried a small stool back to the kitchen and padded it under his feet, finally half a body above the kitchen table.

    “Brother, add me, I want to learn to cook too.”

    Cheng Li’s cooking skills are actually good, she has not been into the kitchen to help is afraid of exposing this point, things have come to this point, already can not care so much.

    “Really? It’s not just a whim, is it?” Cheng Ming asked incredulously.

    Cheng Li blurted out, “Brother, don’t underestimate people, one day, I’m going to make you shed tears eating the dishes I make.”

    Cheng Li fried a scallion egg, Xu Juan fried a plate of green vegetables, pork and other more expensive ingredients or Cheng Ming is responsible for cooking.

    “Xiao Li, you learned this omelette from your mom, one side is salty and the other is not.” Cheng Ming said as he spat out his tongue as he ate the unmelted salt lumps.

    “Ehehe ……”

    Cheng Li knocked his head and winked cutely.

    Ugh, so tired of pretending.

    Xu Juan’s side is not too much of a problem, just a little over-fried, before the pan, the greens are yellow, which has a great impact on the taste and appearance.

    “You guys still have a lot of room for improvement.” Cheng Ming concluded.

    Cheng Ming’s daily routine was one more, teaching Xu Juan and his sister how to cook, and it was great to touch their little hands.

    You need to relax after studying, and Cheng Ming’s relaxation program is watching horror movies.

    After watching a horror movie with Ye Mei, Cheng Ming specially went to rent it.

    Watch a horror movie to cool your body and mind before summer ends.

    Pull up the curtains for ambiance.

    Scary things don’t cope with creatures that don’t come in the category of ghosts and monsters Lin Jingyi shook Cheng Ming’s arm and said, “Xiao Ming, why don’t we watch the Three Kingdoms, don’t watch horror movies.”

    Cheng Ming just wanted to see a girl crying from fear, how could he go along with Jing Jing’s wishes.

    “It’s okay, I’m here, if you’re scared just hold on to me.”

    It began to play, and obviously Sadako hadn’t even appeared yet, and Lin Jingyi and Cheng Li were already shrieking in horror from the scary music and atmosphere.

    Lin Jingyi held Cheng Ming’s arm in a death grip, her nails trapping Cheng Ming’s flesh.

    Cheng Li shrank in Cheng Ming’s arms, glancing at the TV from time to time, wanting to watch but not daring to do so.

    Xu Juan sat next to Cheng Ming, her palm covering the back of Cheng Ming’s hand. Although she didn’t say a word, her reaction was quite cute with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead and her lips trembling slightly.

    It’s finally over.

    Everyone was sweating, they were scared out of their wits, Cheng Ming was purely out of heat.

    “I’ll go change the disk.” Cheng Ming got up and said.

    Lin Jingyi pulled Cheng Ming’s hand and said, “I’ll I’ll change the disk.”

    “Do you know where I keep my disks?”

    “I know, it’s on the computer desk.”

    I don’t want to watch any more horror movies, are there no heart warming critters or comedies that make you laugh?

    Cheng Ming rented quite a few disks, but they were all horror movies, and one was scarier than the other.

    “Little Ming the bad guy! Let’s see if I don’t clean you up later, there’s an unpackaged disk in the books over here, I wonder what it is? Whatever, just this one ……”

    Lin Jingyi puts in the disk, and at first the standard opening and sound of a movie doesn’t appear, Cheng Ming notices that something is wrong, and then Ye Binsong and the director’s wife appear on the screen.

    “Little Ming, why do you still have this kind of thing, dying!” The blushing Lin Jingyi pinched Cheng Ming’s thigh and pouted.

    “How did I know you would put this disk in!” Cheng Ming said tearfully, not having time to cover his sister’s eyes, he immediately rushed up to turn off the video player and switch back to the horror movie’s disk.

    After this turn of events, horror movies aren’t that scary.

    A rare blush rose on Xu Juan’s face.

    Crap, the goodwill that wasn’t so easy to brush up shouldn’t fall off.

    It’s not that Cheng Ming wants to collect those kinds of videos, although every boy will collect a few of those kinds of videos that’s all.

    But the evidence about Ye Binsong, Cheng Ming definitely have to prepare a copy of it, obviously hidden so well, how was Jing Jing found it.

    The day before the official report to the school, Jing Jing family also finally moved away from the silo, living in a second-hand house next to the first middle school, and the first middle school is only a wall away, very convenient to go to and from school, so good housing is generally very difficult to buy.

    But the city, out of a desire to subsidize the grievances suffered by the Jing Jing family, sort of helped to make a statement and allowed them to take the nice house at a price below market value.

    Housewarming new home is naturally to host a banquet, Jing Jing family was originally intended to invite Cheng Ming family over to eat a meal in the new home side of the good, other people do not invite, and do not publicize.

    But Cheng Hongyuan insisted on treating the guests in the Longshan Hotel, not only for the housewarming ceremony, but also to welcome Lin Xuejun, and also to celebrate Cheng Ming and Lin Jingyi’s admission to the Second and First Middle Schools, and to hold a promotion banquet together.

    Jing Jing’s new home and the Dragon Hill Hotel are not far from each other, just across the street, but Dad’s motives are up for debate.

    You could have picked another stall, but you had to go to a place like the Dragon Hill Hotel.

    “Fine, you call Lian Ying, I think that’s her name, over for dinner with her daughter.” Mom said in a showdown.

    “Fine, they can come if they want to.”

    Cheng Ming held his forehead and said in a misplaced voice, “Whose house is it that wants a treat, anyway.”

    But it was good for all three of them to be able to talk in person.
