Chapter 257.

The next day, the two men’s unofficially approved and abusive leave of absence to skip school was exposed.

It would be weird if they weren’t exposed, not to mention the class president Zhou Li, who was on bad terms, watching them.

Cheng Ming and Chen Ziyi were called into the office alone by the homeroom teacher to talk.

The incident was so sudden that the two men were too late to make a statement.

Or maybe the two never matched statements.

Not even in the routine nightly phone calls with Shizuku.

Confessions have been exchanged, appointments have been made about what to say together and what to hide, and it’s the pieces of truth that have been carefully tailored.

The so-called sense of backbiting and betrayal will also be stronger.

But with Zhang Jiajia around, what to say and what not to say is clear as day in his mind.

“Jing Jing do you know what Chen Zi Yi is going to send to Xiao Li?”

“Know, but I won’t tell, secret.” On the phone, Shizuku said playfully.

Maybe Cheng Ming was the one who was kept in the dark, and the outsider was actually myself.

Between classes after being lectured by the homeroom teacher, Chen Ziyi sat in Cheng Ming’s seat, took out the books she was going to take in the next class from the drawer, and asked, “Cheng Ming, what did the homeroom teacher ask you?”

“Just ask me why I haven’t been back to school since I dropped you off.”

“I said your parents were busy and there was no one at home, so I stayed to keep you company.”

“That’s what I said, wow, so disgusting, why would I have a heart to heart with someone like you, and after that, did the class teacher warn us not to let anything like that happen again, and that the class committee should take the lead.” Chen Ziyi spread her hands and said, “It’s all just some clichéd words.”

“Exactly.”

“How much of the vice squad’s authority has been taken away? It can’t be as if nothing happened, can it?”

“In the future, leave of absence is not under my control, the class teacher signed leave of absence still a few left are given to Zhou Li, the burden on the shoulders again a lot lighter.”

“Yeah.”

Cheng Ming and Chen Ziyi smiled at each other and high-fived in congratulations.

After laughing, Chen Ziyi said with a gloomy face, “Good shit good, not good at all, doesn’t that mean there won’t be a next time?”

“What? You want a next time?”

“What I mean is that Chouri looks at us badly, and it’s going to be hard for us to take time off when we do have things to do.”

“This you don’t have to worry about, there really is something, Zhou Li wouldn’t dare to take personal revenge, the big deal is that we go directly to the homeroom teacher, the director of the teaching office, the vice principal, the principal chanting ……”

“And you underestimate women’s jealousy.”

“If you can’t take a vacation, then skip class, as long as you do well in your studies, is it hard for the school to drop us out?”

“That’s what you said, no backtracking, next time you skip class I’ll let you take the blame.”

“Say it like I’m not the one taking the fall this time, I wipe my sister’s ass all the time, I’m used to it.”

“Trying to take advantage of me again, I’m not your sister.”

At noon on Friday, as the week drew to a close again, Cheng Ming, Cheng Li, and Zhao Ren, who had bought fresh ingredients and gone home first, saw Shen Xiao standing in front of the door with a cloth bag in her hand, playing with the ends of her hair in boredom.

“Sister Shen Xiao, what brings you here? Are you sick?” Cheng Ming asked.

“Already healed, just wanted to return the sweatshirt I borrowed from you.” Shen Xiao raised the bag in her hand and scratched her cheeks in embarrassment and said, “My parents and I caused you trouble the other day.”

“It’s no trouble, no trouble at all, but your parents are just too polite.”

Ever since that day when I went with Xu Juan to visit Sister Shen Xiao at her home.

The next day, Cheng Ming also kept his promise and took Xu Juan to visit her as an after-dinner walk.

I didn’t expect Shen Shan and Li Fang to specially kill a chicken to entertain them, but also warmed up the meal until they came to start.

With this array, Cheng Ming and Xu Juan had to eat another meal with a hard-on, saying that they didn’t have to prepare their meals and probably wouldn’t listen, scaring them so much that they didn’t dare to go back the next day.

The goodwill was appreciated, but Cheng Ming did not want to add to the burden of their family, and he also had work to do on weekdays, which was both costly and time-consuming.

“They are that kind of people, they taught me from a young age that a drop in the bucket is a drop in the bucket.”

“Hello, Sister Shen Xiao.” Zhao Ren said in awe.

Shen Xiao and the girls were exactly one round apart, both belonging to the same dragon.

“Yes!” Cheng Li raised his hand and shouted casually and naturally.

“Hi guys, you have your clothes back, if that’s okay, I’m going to head back.”

Handing the bag over to Cheng Ming’s hand, Shen Shin slowly turned away.

Really want to go which will say so many words ah, movement is still so slow, also do not know how long to wait here.

With Xiao Li and Xiao Ren at his side, Cheng Ming didn’t dare to show too much intimacy with Shen Xiao and just grabbed her arm and said:

“We’re all here, so come in and have a seat and a cup of tea before you leave, and anyway, Sister Shen Xiao doesn’t have any urgent business today, right? Xu Juan came back on her bicycle, a few minutes slower than us.”

Cheng Li’s hands lifted up the book bag, the shoulder strap hanging up, and urged, “Brother, open the door quickly, how much longer do you want to chat at the door, aren’t you tired of standing? The schoolbag is heavy.”

“Don’t you have a key yourself?”

“It’s in the book bag too lazy to reach it.” Cheng Li reached toward the small outermost pocket of the schoolbag and couldn’t reach the zipper at all.

Cheng Ming placed the ingredients and the bag on the floor and took the key out of his pocket to open the door, his other hand still grasping Shen Xiao’s hand and not letting it go, he re-lifted the bag, dragging and dragging her who was speechless into the house.

“Come alive.”

Cheng Li went straight to the sofa and lay down on it with his backpack, then unloaded it, and the whole person could not get up again.

“I’ll go pour water.” Zhao Ren said in a well-behaved and understanding manner.

“Rei, please.”

“What a good boy.” Shen Shin said with emotion.

“That’s not true, not as delicious and lazy as this one.” Cheng Ming said as he heavily slapped the buttocks of Cheng Li who was lying on the sofa.

“Brother you don’t understand, I’m giving Xiao Ren a chance to perform.” Cheng Li said with a straight face, “So that she can integrate into our family faster.”

Zhao Ren only brought over two cups of water and said helplessly, “Xiao Li, it’s our turn to prepare lunch today, right?”

“Eh, like yeah, brother hug me up.”

Cheng Li reluctantly opened his arms.

“You don’t have to force yourself if you don’t like to cook.”

“I’m going to make my brother cry one day eating what I cook.”

“Yes, yes, yes, then you go for it!”

Cheng Ming picked up Cheng Li and placed him lightly on the floor.

Zhao Ren asked, “Why don’t Sister Shen Xiao stay for lunch as well? Let’s make some more.”

“No no no, I’m leaving soon.” Shen Shin said as she waved her hand.

“Just cook more rice anyway, we’ve long gotten used to one or two girls suddenly coming to the house to dabble in food and whatnot.” Cheng Li said with her arms crossed.

“Don’t talk about guests as dabblers! It’s too rude.”

Cheng Ming once again waved his hand towards Xiao Li’s buttocks and slapped it, the movement was very slow, so as long as he wanted to avoid it, he was sure to avoid it.

But instead of dodging, Cheng Li puckered up his little butt to meet him squarely.

Arrogantly provoking, “Brother you must be very hungry, right? It doesn’t hurt at all, I’m going to go prepare lunch for you, it’s going to be two big bowls oh.”

“Ugh ……” Cheng Ming sighed and unclenched his clenched fists, “Sister Shen Xiao, Xiao Li is like this, don’t take her words to heart.”

“Ahahaha, Xiao Li is right, I’m just here to rub it in.” Shen Xiao covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

Only Cheng Ming and Shen Xiao were left in the living room, Cheng Ming didn’t take the initiative to find a topic of conversation, and Shen Xiao didn’t know what to say, and she was a bit restless, and could hear Cheng Li and Zhao Ren arguing about who would be in charge of the spoon.

“Last time it was me, should it be my turn this time?”

“Doesn’t it change from week to week?”

“Is everything okay in the kitchen? Don’t you need to go and take care of it?” Shen Shin asked, pointing at the kitchen.

“No, it’s like that every day, you’re sure to get a hot meal at the end of it is all.”

Arguments were made, but the preparations that needed to be made were assigned properly, and the disagreement was only over who was going to fry the food.

“No, I’ll go into the kitchen and see if there’s anything I can do to help.” Shen Shin said as she got up.

“Just have your guests sit tight and wait.”

Shen Xiao was pushed out by Zhao Ren just as she entered.

“Eh, isn’t it also quite good, having someone to help me, and also being able to steal Sister Shen Xiao’s cooking skills.”

“No, we’ll never grow if we keep relying on others.”

Xu Juan returned home, nodded her head with Shen Xiao, considered to have said hello, and returned to the study.

It was still just the two of them alone in the living room.

Shen Shin’s hand kept rubbing his jeans, inexplicably nervous.

Cheng Ming took out the clothes in the bag, buried his head in the clothes, sniffed, and said intoxicatedly, “It seems to have Sister Shen Xiao’s scent.”

“Where is it, just plain old soap smell.”

“Did Sister Shen Shin wash it by hand?”

“My mom washed it, she wouldn’t let me get wet, I would have liked to wash it myself, isn’t that disappointing?”

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed, but the days to come will be long, and one day I’ll let Shen Shin-san help me with my clothes.”

“Fuck you, letting your girlfriend do the washing for you, I guess one for each person isn’t enough to share?”

“I’m sure it’s enough for the winter with all the clothes on, and in the summer, well, just wash my body straight away.”

Shen Xiao glared at him grudgingly and didn’t know what to say, she thought that the serious Cheng Ming could last for a long time, the moment her sister was not there, she revealed the tail of the big bad wolf.

“Sister Shen Shin, this is the key to the gate, please go and punch five keys out.”

“Five? That many?”

Jing Jing, Rei, and Xu Juan each had a handful, and while they were basically in and out of the same place during the school year, having them and not having them were two different things than using them or not.

Chen Ziyi gave her a handful as well, saying that she was asking her to come over to the house to use her treadmill, an excuse that she should be able to accept.

And finally ……

“Well, Sister Shen Shin can keep a key for herself.”

“What do I need your house keys for! I just don’t want it.”

“Sister Shen Shin is my tutor, right?”

“Barely, in name only.”

Many times, in front of Cheng Ming, Shen Xiao felt that she was only a student.

“It’s normal for a governess to come to my house, isn’t it?”

“That doesn’t require a key.”

“We can’t have you waiting at the door for us to get out of school every day, have a key to my house and you can make it up to your mom and dad or the money can’t be accounted for, right? It’s also inconvenient to keep going over to Goodjackie’s to talk about business, you always have to keep your voice down, and Suzaku Suzuyu will come and mess up.”

“When you play with them, you play with them, but when you talk business, you need a quieter place, so let’s use my house instead until the office is rented.”

Shen Xiao picked up the key and held it in her hand, the key was not the key, what was important was the trust that accompanied the key.
