Chapter 302: Before the Year

Saying goodbye to Jing Jing and Aunt Ren at the fork in the road, Cheng Ming first accompanied his mom and Aunt Lian home. In addition to worrying about his mom’s physical state, he also had to be a porter and carry the bags he bought today back home before going to his new home with his sister and Xu Juan.

Cheng Ming and the others went downstairs and saw that the lights were on on the floor of the house, and there was also Dad’s car parked downstairs with a familiar license plate.

The door to the house was still open, and Dad wondered, “I was wondering where you guys had gone. What’s for dinner? If you’re too lazy to build a fire, I’ll pack some dishes from the restaurant and cook a meal at home.”

“Dad, we’ve already eaten outside.” Cheng Ming said as he awkwardly waved his hand.

It’s not exactly a coincidence that Mom’s preparing a lavish meal when Dad’s not home.

They went out to eat and Dad made a special trip home.

“Are you going to go outside, or should I just cook you something?” Li-Ying asked.

“Just make whatever you want, don’t taste too bland.”

“Still think my meal tastes bland, you don’t think about how old you are, you really think you’re young, smoking and drinking high salt and oil, you’ll definitely get three highs when you’re old.”

Being taught by mom about health and such things, dad naturally did not dare to have other opinions, all according to her.

“I bought you a suit and shirt today, try them on first, take them to change if they don’t fit, and if the pants are too long, I’ll change them for you.”

Seeing this, Cheng Ming greeted Aunt Lian and quietly took Xiao Li and Xu Juan back.

Routinely first accompanied Wen Shuya to play a game, and at eight o’clock sharp, the phone rang on time.

Cheng Ming hurriedly put down the game and picked up the phone.

“Ming, I’m over here.”

“It’s good to arrive safely, anything uncomfortable?”

“A little motion sickness, otherwise fine.”

“Rest early if you are seasick, just sleep, what kind of house is your aunt’s house, a wooden house, or a brick house.”

“Now it’s a wooden house, but they are building a brick house next to the old house, the first floor has already been built, and they are building the second floor, I am going to help them move the bricks tomorrow, I can’t live for nothing.” Ye Mei said energetically.

“It’s good to have that heart, it’s cold, so remember to bring your labor gloves, and have the gifts been delivered yet?”

“Not yet, plan to deliver it later.”

“Are they the kind of people who are hard to get along with?”

“Don’t know yet, haven’t talked much, they just hide in the corners and peek at me.”

“Cheer up and get on with them, and don’t push it if it doesn’t go well.”

After saving work for today last night, I can’t touch any more fish tonight, and I’ll honestly have to work late until 3:00 a.m. to call it a night, fall asleep with my sister in my arms, and wake up to her kisses at sunrise.

“Brother, you can’t sleep in even if it’s winter vacation, you still have to take me to the dance studio.”

Cheng Ming was being beeped at by his sister to the point where he was having trouble breathing and couldn’t even try to sleep properly.

Seeing the listless and constantly yawning Cheng Ming, Chen Ziyi crossed her arms and said, “Xiao Ming you played games all night again last night right?”

“Not quite all night, just almost dawn.”

Cheng Ming went back to sleep and asked Xu Juan to wake himself up before eleven o’clock, so that he wouldn’t be late again to pick up his sister and get half a day’s worth of grief from her.

Cheng Ming had a weird dream, he slept until the middle of the afternoon, didn’t pick up his sister, and then was woken up by her kissing him.

Cheng Ming opened his eyes and Xu Juan’s face was close at hand, her hair hanging down on his your neck.

Cheng Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Scared me to death, I thought it was Xiao Li.”

Nope, that seems pretty bad too.

Cheng Ming’s head was dizzy, holding his forehead as he sat up and said, “Why don’t you wake me up in a more normal way?”

“This way is more effective, right?” Xu Juan’s fingers rested against her chin as she cocked her head.

Not to mention the fact that Xu Juan had already bumped into a lot of things before, and had slept together for the past two days, all of which he had witnessed with his own eyes.

I don’t know if it was Cheng Ming’s illusion that Xu Juan was there, but Lai kissed her longer than usual? She kissed him harder than usual.

It’s tempting to show off in front of Xu Juan.

“Still not awake?” Xu Juan asked.

“Kind of, I’ll have to slow down a bit.”

Taking advantage of Cheng Ming’s lack of defense, Xu Juan came close to her face again and sent her lips, just clumsily blocking Cheng Ming’s mouth, meeting Cheng Ming’s line of sight and immediately closing her eyes in embarrassment, wanting to close her mouth and leave.

Cheng Ming is not a man who likes to be passive, although it is not bad to be passive a few times occasionally, but how can it be okay to be molested by a girl all the time, he must give her a little color.

Cheng Ming held Xu Juan’s back, pushed her down on the bed, pressed up his body, and lowered his head to block her small mouth.

Cheng Ming didn’t dare to go too far, so he raised his head and parted his mouth after a little punishment, and propped his hands on either side of Xu Juan’s shoulders.

Xu Juan gasped petulantly, her chest rising and falling, a faint blush rising on her face. Although she didn’t cry or laugh out loud, blushing was an improvement, right?

Though it might just be an instinctive reaction of Xu Juan’s body, like how the body would get wet before it was going to do something like that.

“Are you awake now?” Xu Juan asked.

“A little too sober thanks to you.”

Cheng Ming let go and let his body press against Xu Juan, rubbing back and forth.

Cheng Ming even had an instinctive urge to directly put Xu Juan on the spot, she shouldn’t resist.

But it probably won’t show that look of comfort to oblivion or pain to tears either.

Not yet, far from it. Him and Xu Juan. Sometimes close, sometimes far away.

Xu Juan’s first time was where Cheng Ming had stumbled, and it was also one of the two most asshole things he had done in his past life.

To take it away early, for a moment’s pleasure, would undoubtedly be a waste, to stay on something more meaningful ah.

Cheng Ming is also not a junior who hasn’t eaten enough meat, all the more reason to leave some grain and grass to be handed over to Jing.

And there wasn’t much time for Cheng Ming to do anything now.

“It’s time for you to pick up Xiao Li.” Xu Juan reminded.

Cheng Ming got up and said, “Well, are you going to pick up Xiao Li with me?”

“No, I’ll go straight over for dinner later.”

After Cheng Ming left, Xu Juan took the pillow that Cheng Ming had slept on and clamped it tightly between her strands and rolled on the bed.

“I don’t want to take a shower in the middle of winter, so I’ll just change my underwear.”

An uneventful winter break with nothing big happening, unlike the sudden thunderstorms of summer vacation that overwhelmed everyone.

Cheng Ming repeats his monotonous routine, working on his winter vacation homework with Jing, exercising under the covers, and going to Mingxi Village together to eat Zhao Lei’s special dishes.

Zhao Lei is now also into the mode of sitting on the ground to collect money, do not have to run around, that is, every day to run to the Datang Internet cafe there to surf the Internet, he is also considering buying a computer.

My sister’s dance class is over, and New Year’s Eve is only a week away.

Although the city’s New Year’s flavor is not too strong, but the streets still hung some red lanterns, the entrance to the Spring Festival couplets, windows with paper cuttings and fortune, is that there are many fewer people in the city, some restaurants and stores have closed their doors, slightly cold.

It’s close to the New Year, and close to Chen Ziyi’s birthday.

On the evening of the twenty-sixth day of the waxing moon, Chen Ziyi called from person to person to inform them that they would come to her house tomorrow to celebrate. Although it wasn’t apparent on the surface, she was actually looking forward to her birthday.

Although Chen Ziyi is far ahead of her peers in terms of experience, insight and knowledge.

But her particular upbringing also made her childhood less happy and more childlike.
