    Chapter Index

    Aunt Lian and Xu Juan came home with big bags and small bags, Cheng Ming ran to the door to take the bags in their hands and said, “Aunt Lian, let me help.”

    “Xiao Ming you can finally come back, Xiao Li shouted every day when her brother would come back, we heard it so much that our ears were almost calloused.”

    “Don’t talk nonsense, Auntie Lian, I didn’t!” Xiao Li retorted.

    Li Ying agreed: “That’s right, when Xiaoming isn’t at home, this child is like a lost soul, he wakes up and asks first, then asks again when he eats, and then asks again before he goes to bed.”

    “I didn’t, you guys don’t slander me, Ignore you, I’m going to write today’s diary.” Cheng Li stomped her little feet and ran back inside.

    Cheng Ming and Xu Juan brought the ingredients to the kitchen together, and Cheng Ming curiously opened the bag to look at it for a few moments.

    It’s all big fish and meat. If you didn’t know, you’d think it was New Year’s Eve.

    Although mom said that she was going to make delicious treats tonight for her sister who hadn’t been a picky eater for the past few days, it seemed like it was also something Cheng Ming loved to eat.

    Cheng Ming shyly asked, “Xu Juan, have you missed me in the past few days?”

    “No.” Xu Juan replied instantly without giving face.

    “Not at all?”

    “Just a little bit then.”

    Xu Juan raised her hand, rubbing her thumb and forefinger together.

    “Was winter camp fun?”

    “Well ……”

    Cheng Ming used the palm of his hand to block his mouth, came over his face, and whispered beside Xu Juan’s ear, “Actually, Jing Jing and I didn’t go to the winter camp, our competition exams didn’t reach the level of the winter camp at all, we’re just using this as an excuse for Jing Jing and I to go to Mordor, so don’t say anything to my mom and Auntie Lian, or I’ll be scolded to death.”

    “Mordor? Is it that Mordor?”

    “Well, I had planned to go and see the university, but it turned out that I didn’t have that time either, so I only looked at the gates of the university. But it’s not like which school you look at will definitely get you in, in the end, you still have to rely on your grades to speak, why, do you want to go see it too?” Cheng Ming asked jokingly.

    “I want to, but I can’t get into a place like that even if I try harder, so I’d better forget it.” Xu Juan waved her hand and said rather self-consciously.

    “Although there are a lot of good universities in the Magic City, you can also choose to apply to ordinary first and second universities, of course, the score line will be much higher than the line drawn, which should be prepared for.”

    “Is it okay for someone like me?”

    “What do you mean, your kind, and what kind am I? More heads, or more arms? Working together is just fine, you and I are going to college in the same place, my mom and Aunt Lian will both be relieved as well, so when you’re free to take you and Xiao Li and Xiao Ren to Magic City for a stroll.”

    You can’t favor one over the other, you have to level the playing field and trick Xu Juan into going over there too, a family is meant to be neat and tidy.

    This side of the computer has been turned into Dad’s office tools, Cheng Ming’s games are all gone, can only play solitaire and minesweeper.

    Even if you want to work, the project files are all in the new home, and you can’t get them done in that amount of time, and the files are a huge pain in the ass to mess around with, and the transfers and interactions aren’t done very well these days.

    There’s no rush, go back and get busy.

    Bored and not wanting to watch TV, Cheng Ming slipped into his sister’s room.

    Seeing Cheng Ming, Cheng Li immediately stopped writing and folded his hands, covering his notebook tightly.

    “What’s written, let me see.” Cheng Ming said as he put his hand under his sister’s hand.

    “There’s nothing written, brother you’re not allowed to read it.” Cheng Li leaned down and pressed his body dead against his arm.

    “You’re going to show it to the teacher then anyway, right? It’s not like there’s going to be a piece of meat missing if you show it to me.”

    The more he was not allowed to see, the more curious Cheng Ming became.

    “It’ll be a piece of meat missing.”

    Cheng Ming threatened, “You really don’t want to show me? Then I’ll tickle you.”

    “Just don’t give it, brother you have the ability to call scratch ah!” Cheng Li shouted with no fear of the sky.

    She was afraid that her brother wouldn’t touch her yet, it was just a bit thick to wear in winter, not as light as in summer.

    “Give or take, give or take?”

    Cheng Ming used a tickling attack on Cheng Li with overwhelming effect.

    Down jacket too thick? Why don’t you just stick your hand inside? Defenseless and warm at the same time.

    “No.”

    Cheng Li was lying on the table, his body trembling as he was trying to stifle his laughter.

    Cheng Ming increased his attack, sliding from his waist to his cackling nest, his fingers fidgeting for a while, his fingertips unintentionally brushing against the slight bulge.

    “Hahaha ……”

    Cheng Li finally broke, holding down Cheng Ming’s hand through his clothes, leaning back in his chair and gasping with laughter, his cheeks flushed.

    “Brother you’re breaking the rules, how can you reach inside your clothes and tickle them.”

    “But you didn’t say I couldn’t go in.”

    Without his sister’s cover, Cheng Ming saw the contents of the notebook at a glance.

    An entire page was scribbled in black squares, as if it had been written and blacked out in some unseemly way.

    There was also a drawing of a large and a small matchmaker holding hands, the sister’s drawing is still abstract, so I can tell that the large matchmaker is a man with short hair and the small one has a double ponytail.

    “This is us?” Cheng Ming asked with a smile.

    “Well, how was it? Wasn’t that a good drawing.”

    “Nice is nice, I just don’t know who the person who painted it is.”

    Cheng Li wrote his name directly on the edge, drew an arrow pointing to the matchmaker, and said, “Doesn’t that tell you something?”

    Cheng Ming, who was a little tired of standing, picked up his sister and sat on his lap, while he himself sat on the chair.

    “Really, brother, you like me too much.”

    “Yeah, who made you so cute.” Cheng Ming said as he pinched his sister’s cheeks.

    “That’s disgusting, but I like my brother too, and I’m disgusted too, hehehehehe, next we’ll draw the scene where we get married.”

    “You’re not going to show this to the teacher, are you?”

    “How can that be, it’s my doodle book.”

    “Then I’ll look at the front.”

    “Ahhhhh, no looking.” Cheng Li blocked the notebook again.

    Under Cheng Ming’s tidal wave-like offense, Cheng Li surrendered early, drawing some things from his childhood in front of him.

    But the process obviously doesn’t even remember much is all.

    “And this?”

    “That’s what there is, my brother keeps stealing kisses from me, I couldn’t get married long ago, I had to marry my brother.”

    “No, I’ll go look at the family photos.”

    Cheng Ming went to the study and turned the photo album over, saw the photo of his sister wetting the bed, and was hammered indiscriminately by his sister with her pink fist.

    The two of them looked at the photos on the bed and were bored until Xu Juan came to call them for dinner before they went out.

    Looking at the large table full of food, Cheng Ming asked, “Is Dad still not back?”

    “Don’t mind him, he’s had a lot of meals lately, he won’t be hungry, let’s eat while it’s hot.”

    Cheng Ming silently mourned his dad for a second in his heart.

    “Tomorrow we’ll go out to buy new clothes to wear for the New Year, lest the end of the year be crowded with people, and some stores will also take advantage of the end of the year to first raise prices before letting them be cut.” Lai Ying snapped, the entire staff had no objections and didn’t dare to have any.

    After the meal, Cheng Li hugged Cheng Ming’s waist from behind and said, “Mom, I’m going to sleep on my brother’s side tonight.”

    “Remember to cover up, don’t catch a cold.” Li Ying admonished.

    “Then I’m going back over there to sleep too.” Xu Juan, who was washing dishes, said weakly.

    “Xu Juan is also spending the night over here these days?” Cheng Ming, who was in charge of rinsing the bowls, asked in surprise.

    “Of course, how could I let Sister Xu Juan sleep over there alone.”

    “Looks like it’s not going to work without me.”
