Chapter 203 Family status

The house was a little dark, no lights on, just the fluorescent glow of the TV flickering on and off.

Cheng Li was lazily lying on the sofa watching cartoons with a shark between his legs.

“You’re back, brother, come over here and cuddle me and watch TV.”

“I stink of sweat, are you sure?”

“It’s not like I mind you, come on come on.”

“Let me lie down for a while first, I’m exhausted.”

“How about this!” Cheng Li had a bright idea and said with her hands clasped together, “I’ll help my brother step on his back, and he’ll help me wash my feet.”

“I’d be happier if there wasn’t a condition behind it, brother.”

The words were true, but Cheng Ming had already plopped down on the couch first.

“Can first owe ah, brother remember to pay me back is, not to forget.”

That way, the more my brother owed me turned out to be.

“Will do will do.”

“Hey shoo!”

Cheng Li Fei jumped onto Cheng Ming’s back, fortunately landing on a broad and sturdy shoulder.

“Pfft, be careful, don’t step on my old back, I have military training tomorrow.”

“Injuries don’t mean you can take time off to sleep at home.”

“This sick leave is better.”

What if I hurt my back and get something wrong?

What if he gets hurt in a situation where he suddenly needs to use his back?

Lay down and let someone else move?

While there are benefits to being passive, there are also joys to being active.

Little feet drilled Cheng Ming’s sore parts.

My sister’s weight is just right, just a little less forceful.

Xu Juan was right next to him, so Cheng Ming had to cover his mouth so as not to make a comfortable and humiliating sound.

“I’m tired and resting.”

Cheng Li stopped his feet, squatted down, and sat directly on the back of Cheng Ming’s neck, his feet encircling over his face.

It’s only been a few minutes. Keep going. Your brother’s very durable.

After resting for ten minutes and not seeing his sister’s intention to step on him twice, Cheng Ming had to make his sore arms pick up his sister and raise her above his head, sitting up from the sofa and holding her in his arms.

“Ah, come to life.” Cheng Ming turned his shoulders and looked at Xu Juan and asked, “Xu Juan do you want to try a massage massage?”

Xu Juan, who was watching TV, shook her head slightly.

“It’s really comfortable, I won’t lie to you, it’s very effective in relieving fatigue. Otherwise you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow with all the aches and pains, and you should know that days like today are going to last for six more days, followed immediately by exams ……”

Cheng Ming’s words were nothing short of the devil’s whispers, and Xu Juan couldn’t help but cover her ears.

“I’ll help her, brother you’ll crush her if you’re so heavy.”

“It won’t be, lying down Xu Juan can completely withstand my weight, if I can’t, I can also use my hands ah, it will have the same effect of relieving fatigue.” Cheng Ming said as he rattled his nimble fingers.

Although he had never studied massage, Cheng Ming was confident in his craft.

“It’s better if I do it.”

How could you let your brother mooch off you in front of you! Don’t even think about it, but they went out together today and sat together, so I’m afraid they didn’t touch everywhere they shouldn’t have.

“Get down, I’ll step on you.” Cheng Li pulled Xu Juan’s hand and tried to get her to lie down, her mom came in the door with a shopping bag and saw this scene, she put on a stern face and said, “Xiao Li, are you bullying Xu Juan?”

“How can that be! Sister Xu Juan had a hard day of military training, I wanted to give a body massage. But she didn’t appreciate it, and I can’t bully a high school student as an elementary school student.”

“And an elementary school student, you’ll be in middle school soon.”

Remembering Cheng Ming’s teachings, Xu Juan stood up and greeted, “Hello, Auntie Lai.”

“Well hello, how polite, just sit down, relax, just make this your home, is there any dish you want to eat? No need to be polite with Auntie, I’ll have Xiao Ming go buy it right away.”

“I’m not a picky eater.”

“A child who isn’t a picky eater is a good child, and that child, Xiao Li, is just spoiled by us.”

“Is it necessary for mom to pull a depreciation?” Cheng Li leaned close to Cheng Ming’s ear and whispered.

“Comparisons hurt, and mom is hoping you won’t be a picky eater in the future.”

Cheng Li complained, “Food you don’t like is food you don’t like, I eat vegetables too.”

“It’s limited to what you like, right?”

Cheng Ming did not lower the volume, mom heard clearly, twisted Cheng Li’s ear and said: “good ah, picky eaters have a reason, I boiled peppers for you at night, must be eaten for me, Xiaoming is not allowed to help her eat, really think that I do not know your little action ah!”

Cheng Li’s face immediately turned into a green pepper color, her mouth was open, no sound came out, judging from the mouth shape and her sister’s heart at the moment, what she said should be, “Brother save me.”

Cheng Ming spread his hands and said, “I can’t help it, mom is staring at it, you should almost change your bad habit of picking food.”

“It can be saved, brother you ate all the green peppers and I didn’t have any to eat, didn’t that save me.”

“But I can’t eat a whole plate of peppers by myself.”

“I’ll help.” Xu Juan said.

“Thank you, Sister Xu Juan, let me help you pound your shoulders and rub your back.” Cheng Li said attentively.

The picky eating is long gone, and it’s true that I don’t like to eat. But in order to maintain the little kid persona, you have to be a picky eater.

Don’t think I’ll accept you just because you helped me eat green peppers, Xu Juan.

I remember what you did to me in your previous life. Although the responsibility for everything lies with your brother, you are an accessory if you didn’t resist!

“Ri, help me with my shoulders and back later too.”

“Didn’t you just help your brother step on his back?”

“That’s what I get for washing your feet.”

“I don’t care, it’s only natural for a brother to help his sister.”

Dad came home half an hour after mom, just in time for dinner, you name it.

“What brings you back? You’re so free these days? Coming home for dinner every day? I didn’t see you so free before.”

Mom’s getting good at being weird.

“There’s always time to squeeze it in.”

“Ah, we don’t have your dishes at home, is it okay to use disposable ones? Or do you want to use Lian Ying’s?”

Is this multiple choice? It’s a giveaway.

I’m sure there are extra dishes in the house, but mom went out and bought disposable ones for dad…what could be a stronger sign of love than that?

The sensible Cheng Ming, of course, would not point it out, and he still wanted to eat with his normal bowls and chopsticks.

“Disposable will do, I’ll go buy a brand new set of dishes and chopsticks tomorrow, our family’s chopsticks haven’t been changed for years, and chopsticks need to be changed diligently.” Cheng Hongyuan said humbly.

Dad’s family empire has turned into a family disciple position. The pregnant mom is undoubtedly the biggest, and Cheng Ming’s status is expected to rise.

When the baby is born in mom’s belly, the family status will be reshuffled even more.

Before Cheng Ming and Xu Juan could pinch away the green peppers, Mom filled her sister’s bowl with green peppers.

The plan went bust on the spot.

Under the watchful eye of his mom, Cheng Li, who was wearing a mask of pain, clustered his eyebrows and took a small bite of the green pepper before brightly chucking the remaining half into Cheng Ming’s bowl.

At least finish it for me.

“Is that such a stretch? It makes it seem like I’m forcing you to eat poison yes.” Lai Ying sighed as he held his forehead.

“It’s just so hard to eat.”

Cheng Li pinched all the green peppers in the bowl to Cheng Ming, leaving only the shredded meat.

Cheng Hongyuan said with a wave of his hand, “If you don’t eat, you don’t eat, there’s plenty of delicious food, and it’s not okay to eat only vegetables.”

“Cheng Hongyuan, Little Li is spoiled by you, if the child in my belly is born, you guys don’t spoil him into a second Little Li.” Li Ying said with vigor.

It’s hard to say. Mom will probably be the most pampered by then.

Li Ying exhorted, “The clothes you wear during military training are all over there at the home bar, so go back and take a bath after you’ve eaten enough, don’t be greedy and stay up late. Otherwise you won’t have the spirit for military training tomorrow, especially Xiao Ming, Xu Juan you have to keep an eye on him for me, you have to go to bed at eleven o’clock.”

Xu Juan nodded slightly.

Although the child is the crystallization of love, but Cheng Ming have grown so big, but also almost become an obstruction of the light bulb, directly eaten and skipped.

Tiptoeing around, Cheng Li also wanted to follow Cheng Ming and Xu Juan to bolt, only to be caught by his mom’s collar and said, “Don’t bother them.”

What do you mean don’t disturb them! Without me to keep an eye on them, God knows what will happen. Mom, can you afford to be your future daughter-in-law?

“Mom, I’m not going to disturb brother and sister Xu Juan, I’ll supervise brother to go to bed early and get up early.”

“It’s a good thing you didn’t make Ming sleep late and wake up late.”

“Auntie Lian will be coming over today, right? Then won’t I have no place to sleep?”

“Can’t you sleep with me? We haven’t slept together in a long time.”

“But I’m in middle school, isn’t it embarrassing to sleep with my mom when I’m this old?”

Li Ying rubbed Cheng Li’s face and said, “You finally know you’re a junior high student now ah, then I’ll sleep with Lian Ying and you sleep in your own room.”

Cheng Ming could only ignore his sister’s look for help, and his mom was the boss in this family.

Cheng Ming stood up for his sister today, but tomorrow he will have to use disposable dishes.

“Why don’t you take a bath in the bathroom with the tub today, and after you wash your body, a hot bath will provide significant relief from physical fatigue. Because the bathtub was installed in the back, there is no hot water valve, so you can only fill the water manually, which is a bit troublesome and requires a little patience. But all the hard work is worth it for the sake of the bath.”

Normally, Xu Juan and Aunt Lian went to the small bathroom without a bathtub to take a shower.

“If it’s too much trouble for you, I can fill it with water for you.”

“No, I will.”

Xu Juan resolutely refused.

My sister couldn’t wait for him to help every time.

“You can’t soak for too long, you can catch a cold if you pass out, why don’t you leave the bathroom door unlocked and let me know when you start soaking, I’ll help you time it from outside.”

“Don’t drain the hot water in the bathtub after you’re done soaking, you can’t waste water resources, it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect the earth, got it?” Cheng Ming said in a crowning manner.

The expressionless Xu Juan couldn’t tell at all what was going on inside her mind, whether she had taken Cheng Ming’s bullshit in or not.

Straight into the bathroom with a change of clothes in his arms.

Cheng Ming paced back and forth in front of the bathroom door as the pattering sound of water came from inside.

Cheng Ming looked at the time on his watch, want to try?

See if the bathroom door is locked or not.

My sister isn’t home tonight, so doing something grown-ups should do won’t teach my sister a lesson.

It’s really locked, Cheng Ming will move the doorknob, he will be taken as a pervert, right? Although he had long been treated as a pervert by Xu Juan only.

If there was no lock, wouldn’t there be no difference between Cheng Ming doing this and his previous life?

Although he was eager to know Xu Juan’s current physical development, he couldn’t monkey around with it and had to hold back.

“I’m starting.” Xu Juan suddenly said.

Start? Start what? The bath?

Since Xu Juan went into the bathroom, it was also twenty minutes in the past, the time was right.

If Xu Juan doesn’t come out in ten minutes, rush in and save her.

It wasn’t to see to her health, but I was afraid she’d catch a cold and it would interfere with her military training.

Five minutes had passed, and Cheng Ming couldn’t help himself a bit.

After another three minutes, Cheng Ming finally made up his mind to open the door, “Charge!”

The bathroom door was the first to open, and there was no sound of twisting knobs, which meant the bathroom door was unlocked!

The water in the tub was still warm, and the water stains by the tub were obviously left from getting in and out of the tub.

Cheng Ming was just regretting it now, very much so.

Lest the bathtub water be cold later, Cheng Ming took a bath before bathing.

After listening to Jing’s complaints about military training and then saying goodnight to Chen Ziyi, Cheng Ming, who had dealt with his feelings and friendships, had to continue to deal with his emails.

At the end of September, the saga opens for public testing.

At that time, the studio and Cheng Ming’s energy will be devoted to this game, to finish the plug-in currently in production, no new projects will be opened, and the update will be slowed down to fix the bugs, and add fewer new features, so as not to have the bugs appear in piles.

Xu Juan suddenly pushed the door in and said, “It’s time to sleep.”

“Ahhhh, I know.”

Cheng Ming glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, and it actually came at eleven o’clock sharp.

You’ve been too obedient, and it’s really hard to say whether that’s good or bad.

Xu Juan sat directly on Cheng Ming’s bed, staring intently at his back, with absolutely no intention of going back.

Sleeping with him tonight?

No way, no way. He’s had too many peaches.

“Aren’t you going back to your room to sleep? It’s military training tomorrow.”

“I’ll sleep when you do.”

Cheng Ming couldn’t leave the work at hand unattended; if he didn’t deal with it today and it piled up to tomorrow, it would be double the pain, requiring him to stay up until even later and be bombarded by Senior Wen’s sister.

“I’ll go to bed then, you go to bed early too, good night.”

Cheng Ming had to turn off the computer screen and obediently turned off the lights and climbed into bed, Xu Juan got up and left, not forgetting to bring the door.

Cheng Ming immediately rolled over and reopened the computer screen.

Xu Juan pushed the door open again and sat back on the bed.

Cheng Ming had no choice but to tough it out and finish the job, and it was already eleven forty-five when he turned his computer off.

Even so it was much earlier than the usual twelve-thirty and one o’clock in the morning.

Xu Juan was already lying sound asleep in her own bed, her feet still on the floor, her hands folded and resting on her head.

Cheng Ming took off Xu Juan’s shoes, grabbed her legs and placed them on the bed, turning his body ninety degrees, from lying horizontally to lying vertically, his head resting lightly on the pillow.

Carry her back to her own bed to sleep, too tired to move today.

Too much movement will also wake her up, it’s rare to fall asleep, maybe she’s having a nice dream.

Cheng Ming was lying on the side with his back to Xu Juan.

Itchy hands and a feeling that there is nowhere to put them.

Laying on your side is uncomfortable and laying flat is not right.

Putting one hand on the back of Xu Juan’s head and resting the other on Xu Juan’s chest, this time it was finally right.

If your sister isn’t here, I’ll have to ask you to be the cuddler.

Well, you slept in my bed yourself.

When I didn’t touch her body, I always thought of screwing seven or eight, and what I couldn’t get was always stirring.

Real hugging, instead of nothing distracting.

It feels like treating your sister like a sister ……
