Chapter 259: Growing Taller

After simply warming up, Lin Jingyi pushed Cheng Ming away and said, “Alright, the more you can’t bear to part, the more you can’t part, help me keep an eye on Xiao Li.”

“Can I still come to see you tomorrow morning?” Cheng Ming asked.

“Whatever, just don’t bring Ri here.”

Cheng Ming took out his key and pushed open the door, Cheng Li was sitting in the entranceway putting on his shoes and tying his laces, looking like he was ready to go out.

Mom was sitting on the couch knitting a sweater, and the TV was playing “Love is in the Air”.

“Stay to the side on the road and watch out for cars.” Lai Ying admonished.

“Got it mom, I’m not a kid, you have to mention it every time.”

The light outside the door shot in, and Cheng Ming’s shadow shone on Cheng Li.

Cheng Li raised his head to look at Cheng Ming’s face and turned his head to shout, “Mom, mom, brother is back, back.”

“Is it necessary to be so dramatic? Didn’t we just have dinner together last night?”

It’s not like we haven’t seen each other for years or months.

“Why did you come over so early today? Didn’t you have breakfast today? Hungry?” Lai Ying stopped the work of knitting scarves in her hands and asked.

“Spoken as if I’d only come to dilly-dally, isn’t this my home? Can’t I go home to see if I have nothing to do?”

Cheng Ming took off his shoes and entered the house.

Since Mom’s belly was pregnant again, Dad moved back and took Cheng Ming’s room.

In addition to meals, Cheng Ming rarely stay long over here, in addition to the bed, on the other hand, is the work to be used in the new home of the computer, how to say is also thirty years old, it is impossible to stick to the parents every day.

“I don’t usually see you so homesick.”

Then you and dad get back together earlier, but Cheng Ming only dared to mutter in his heart, did not dare to say it in front of his mom.

Mom should have her own considerations. Is she testing Dad?

You can’t do anything while you’re pregnant and live under the same roof. If Dad doesn’t come home to sleep one day, he’s probably going to be written up in Mom’s book, and even Auntie lives under her nose, so Dad can’t do anything.

“Mom, is Dad home?” Cheng Ming asked.

“Just left on the front foot, went to fix his soccer field, didn’t you guys meet him?”

“No.”

“Brother, why are you standing at the door, don’t you go out?” Cheng Li, who was standing at the door, urged.

“I just got back from being out, give me a break.”

“You guys go out and play, even if you please me at home I won’t increase your allowance oh.”

“That’s what mom said, go go go.”

Cheng Li pulled Cheng Ming’s big hand and yanked it toward the door, her small feet against the threshold and her body tilted.

“I know.”

Cheng Li opened his arms and jumped down one step at a time, disappearing from Cheng Ming’s field of vision in an instant.

“Hurry up brother.”

“Coming coming.”

Still as energetic as ever, I always feel old with my sister.

Cheng Ming managed to catch up with his sister, and Cheng Li, who was waiting for him at the corner, continued to jump down again.

待程明走至楼下，程黎已经坐在她的摩托车上，孩子气地抓着摩托车的把手，身子左右摇摆，嘴里发出「呜呜呜」的声音。

Cheng Li waited for a few seconds and didn’t see his brother get on the car, and asked in a puzzled manner, “Brother, don’t you ride a motorcycle?”

“Even if it’s not today, it’s good to walk once in a while, it’s not bad to experience a slower pace of life today when you’re scrambling to keep up with the clock every day.” Cheng Ming pounded his back and said.

“Brother is like an old grandpa.” Cheng Li jumped out of the car and asked, “Going somewhere? Back to the new home? Or to Sister Jingyi? To the game hall? To go to Haojiaji to find Suzaku Suzume and the girls?”

What kind of options are these? Why is it like picking a person.

“Just walk around, go wherever you want.” Cheng Ming said aimlessly.

“Then I’m welcome, this way this way.”

Cheng Li pulled Cheng Ming’s hand and ran, but as a result, only after running less than a hundred meters, Cheng Li bent over, hands propped on her knees, gasping for petulant breath.

“That’s tired? I told you not to exercise in general.”

Cheng Ming had followed Chen Ziyi’s workout for a month, although it was deserted after the Games and the treadmill was eating dust. But the stamina and physical fitness didn’t drop that fast.

“There is exercise ah, twice a week in gym class have a good run around the playground two laps, must be because hohaha …… I wear too cute today, not suitable for running.” Cheng Li said in a serious and stinky way.

Today’s Cheng Li is wearing a long-sleeved white bottomed sweater knit and a long yellow halter dress, her feet stepping on small leather shoes, revealing her white stockings.

“Cute is pretty cute, and the shoes really aren’t too good for running, but cute has nothing to do with your poor stamina, does it?”

“It’s my brother’s fault that I’m so physically weak any way you look at it.”

“It’s none of my business, it’s obviously your own laziness, right? Aren’t you blowing off steam when I get up early for my morning jog?”

“Because my brother drives me to school every day.”

“Then you can get up early and walk to school! Just sleep less.”

“No, if I don’t get enough sleep, I won’t be energized in class, my academic performance will drop, and my brother will be scolded. So I advise my brother to be good and send me to school.”

“You’re the one who didn’t do well, aren’t you? Why would I be the one to get scolded? I’m not taking the blame for this.”

“I usually live on my brother’s side of the house during class, so who’s mom going to call if not you.”

“Brother carry me quickly, I can’t walk.”

“How grown up are you to have to memorize it, aren’t you ashamed?”

“Why are you shy? Isn’t it natural for a brother to carry his sister? It’s the same no matter how old you are, a shy person has a ghost in his heart, does it mean that brother is shy?”

Cheng Li covered her mouth and snickered, “After all, her sister is so cute, it’s understandable that she’s afraid of being taken as her girlfriend.”

“Shy you big head, come up here, you’ll only be taken for my sister.”

Cheng Ming lightly knocked his sister’s head and crouched down.

“I’m supposed to be your sister.”

Cheng Li’s arms wrapped around Cheng Ming’s neck and dejectedly said, “Warm, isn’t it like a scarf? It’s okay to compliment me more.”

Cheng Ming lifted Cheng Li’s small buttocks and stood up, the meat on his buttocks seemed to become more and his body became heavier.

“Ri you’re so much heavier.”

“No, it’s just that you’ve grown taller! Brother, you’re such an idiot!”

“Yes?”

“There is! Put me down, I want my brother to see me grow.”

Cheng Li flailed her arms about, writhing around struggling on Cheng Ming’s back.

“Don’t move, it’s dangerous, I’ll just put you down.”

It hadn’t even taken two steps before Cheng Ming was forced to put his sister down because of her mouth.

The two stood facing each other.

Cheng Ming put his hand across his sister’s head and compared the position of her chest, recalling her sister’s previous height and said, “Didn’t grow taller, did she? It was in this position a long time ago.”

“Obviously it’s grown because my brother has grown taller too!”

“Oh.”

Cheng Ming suddenly realized that he had completely forgotten that he could still grow.

Cheng Ming asked with a sideways glance, “You didn’t secretly tiptoe, did you?”

Paws well on the floor.

“I’m not going to cheat.”

“The shoes didn’t increase in height?”

“Not at all!”

“Well, it seems like you’ve really grown taller.”

“It’s not as if, it’s just that I’ve grown taller, brother you don’t care about me at all, you didn’t even notice this, mom noticed and measured my height last night.”

Cheng Li pouted his little mouth in dissatisfaction and angrily looked away.

“I see you every day, so I can’t notice such a small change. Mom didn’t know you were taller until she measured you, did she?”

“To not notice such an obvious change, you’re seriously out of line as a brother.”

“I didn’t expect you to grow up.” Cheng Ming said with great emotion.

“Brother, even if you like poor breasts again, you can’t curse my sister for not growing up, I’m in my growth period, I have infinite potential, sooner or later this place will be bigger than Jingyi-san, humph.”

Cheng Li proudly patted her slightly bulging breasts, her nostrils turned to Cheng Ming.

“Yes?”

Unfortunately, although it was going to grow a little bit, it wasn’t going to be much bigger, and it was even more of a fool’s errand to be bigger than Jing.

Even the best efforts in later life can’t reverse the genetic disadvantage, right?

“Why does brother look skeptical? Sister Jingyi is so big, so it must be something brother did to her? As long as brother does that to me too, I’m okay with it.”

Cheng Li spread his arms in front of his chest, as if he was simulating what he would look like when he grew up.

“Who taught you this useless knowledge! Jing Jing was older in her age group before she became friends with me.”

“Didn’t you get bigger after becoming Niinii’s girlfriend? It must have been brother’s doing.”

“There’s no denying that acquired effort can play a meager role, but it depends more on innate genetics.”

“Then do it too, it’s better to be a little bigger, it’s a matter of a woman’s dignity! Brother, start!” Cheng Li crossed her arms and puffed out her chest and said.

“Start you big head, let’s go.”

Cheng Ming ignored Cheng Li and dragged the reluctant her along at a slow pace.

Passing by a grocery store, the old woman watching the store greeted, “The two little dolls from Hongyuan’s family, out playing with their sister again, huh?”

“Well, you really are taken for my sister.”

“The neighborhood is full of old acquaintances, of course they recognize us, brother, I want this one, this one and this one.”

In the blink of an eye, I was holding snacks of all sizes in my arms.

“Why don’t you be polite to me, I feel like I’m going to get yelled at again when I get home.”

“It’s the brother who gets yelled at anyway.”

“Just cut back on the sugar and stuff, you can’t afford to replace your cavities, you don’t want to go to the dentist, do you?”

Cheng Ming duly put back the candy and such and paid to leave.

The two went into every store, seemingly addicted to playing and not necessarily buying anything, and asked, “What do we look like?”

It’s basically an answer to siblings.

“No vision.” Cheng Li would say with a pout.

“The others were right.”

That is, until the two of them walked into a store that sold all kinds of birthday favors and took mug shots.

The shopkeeper said with a meaningful smile, “Boy-girl friendship?”

“Yes, that’s right, you really have a good eye, brother, buy something before you go.” Cheng Li said as she held Cheng Ming’s arm.

“Uh-huh.” Cheng Ming responded with a numb scalp, was this the scene of social death?

Whether it’s a real brother-sister couple or a fake one, it’s weird to have your girlfriend call you brother, right?

And Ri is too small in every way!
