Chapter 101 Win-Win

The three of them left City One and walked down an alley where there weren’t many people.

“Wang Lei, in that letter you sent me, you wanted me to help you cheat, right, by copying the multiple choice questions in math, physics and chemistry for you.” Cheng Ming asked as he opened the door.

“Yes …… yes.”

Wang Lei’s voice was even trembling.

“Do you have any reason why you have to cheat? Your grades aren’t that bad, are they?”

“Actually …… if I don’t get into the first grade, my family is going to let me go back and get married and not study.”

“This is too much, what kind of parents are there.” Lin Jingyi crossed her arms and said indignantly.

“There are, and quite a few of them, and if you think that’s strange, it’s because we were born into happy families.”

“Even if you’re not allowed to study, you don’t have to get married, not to mention the legal age for marriage, you’re still underage!”

Lin Jingyi shook Cheng Ming’s body and asked, “Xiao Ming, forcing an underage child to get married, that should be considered breaking the law, right? Isn’t it possible to go to court and sue her parents.”

“Theoretically it’s possible, but it’s too difficult for a minor to defend her rights, and the target is still her own mom and dad. Even if the lawsuit is won, it can only be a lose-lose situation… Didn’t his mom and dad say that they didn’t get into the first high school before letting her get married? This is already considered reasonable.”

“Wang Lei, is your family short of money?”

“Well, since I have two younger sisters and a younger brother studying below me, my family felt that it would be enough for me to finish middle school.”

“Your parents are too fertile.”

Lin Jingyi, who was an only child, could not imagine that picture at all.

“The phenomenon of wanting a child and ending up with several daughters is quite normal.” Cheng Ming spread his hands and said.

“I also know I’m being a bit selfish and will be a burden to my family. But I don’t want to just give up my education and marry someone I don’t know. I don’t want to go be a factory girl, I don’t want to work outside, I want to go to high school, I want to go to college.”

“I messed with my parents, and finally they promised me that they would let me continue studying if I got into the first high school, so I studied hard to prepare for the exam. But the three subjects of math physics and chemistry still weren’t too stable, and a friend of mine told me that you were ahead of me, that you were doing well in those three subjects, and asked you to cheat for me, and saved his breakfast money to buy you a bottle of water.”

“Ming, or ……”

Lin Jingyi, who was moved with compassion, pulled Cheng Ming’s coat.

“Wang Lei, I can’t help you cheat, even though you had no choice but to do so, the others also tried hard, and for me to help you cheat would be unfair to the others.”

“Well, it’s like this, I’m really sorry for moving to evil thoughts, just pretend you didn’t see that letter.” Wang Lei bowed her head again and apologized.

“If you have good eyes and can sneak a peek at the answers and still not get caught by the invigilator that’s your own skill, it has nothing to do with me.” Cheng Ming shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Eh ……”

When Wang Lei, who had already died and turned her head to leave, heard this, she was a bit unresponsive for a moment.

“The bottle of iced tea you sent me has already been consumed, it’s impossible for me to buy another bottle to return it to you, in the future, don’t send that kind of letter that is easy to misunderstand, eat your breakfast, you can’t get good grades if you’re starving, it’s better to ask for something than to ask for it.”

“Ah yes, did you put an extra piece of white paper in that letter you sent me?”

“White paper? No, why?”

“Nothing.”

Finally the truth comes out, rather than having guessed it from the start.

“Jing Jing, let’s go, we still have to pick up Lai, she’ll throw a little tantrum if we keep her waiting.”

“Oh good, Wang Lei, let’s meet up and see each other in the first grade.”

Lin Jingyi waved goodbye towards Wang Lei.

“Xiao Ming, it really is as arrogant as Chen Ziyi said, right?” Lin Jingyi sat on the backseat of the motorcycle, shaking her legs and saying in delight.

“Where am I being arrogant, I’m just trying to clear the air early.”

“But weren’t you implying that you would give her a copy?”

“I’m just letting her peek at herself, I didn’t say I’d necessarily share her peeking, seeing as how I blocked the exam papers so tightly this afternoon.”

“Xiao Ming you’re talking tough again, I don’t believe you, did you have a fight with Ye Mei just now when your face looked so ugly? I seem to have seen her too.”

“It’s true that we don’t get along with her, but we didn’t fight, we don’t have much in common, and we can’t remember things from our childhood, so it’s still awkward to be together except for the awkwardness.”

“Aren’t you going to match the answers today?” Cheng Ming asked, changing the topic.

“Let’s forget about it today, so as not to affect the next exam, and every time you match the answers, the questions I get right, you say I do the same, and the ones I get wrong, you say you can’t remember them, there’s no such thing as coincidence, you must be doing it on purpose.”

“I can’t believe you found out, how about it, I’m sweet, right?” Cheng Ming asked in a stinky manner.

“As sweet as it is, the urge to punch you in the face again.”

Lin Jingyi raised her small fist and rubbed Cheng Ming’s back, her heart was very conflicted.

Everyone was selfish, and she certainly wanted Ming to be so sweet to only herself.

Though knowing that it was unrealistic, Ri alone was very difficult to deal with.

But at least you can be a little more casual with a girl who is a stranger, just give her a copy and say so many words.

But that’s just the way Kotomine does things, I guess.

Almost at the entrance of Cheng Li’s elementary school, Lin Jingyi had the foresight to let go of Cheng Ming’s waist.

On second thought, was I too soft?

You can not compete with the children to be jealous, do not let Xiaoming trapped ah, not yet really determined the relationship, how can you put up a sister-in-law’s frame and posture.

Lin Jingyi was immediately convinced by these reasons again.

“Why …… would Sister Lin be sitting in her brother’s car ah!”

Cheng Li was still polite in front of Lin Jingyi’s face and didn’t call him by his first name, then looked at the two men with a fist between them, his expression gradually softened.

“I let Jing park her bike at the school, so I have to take responsibility for transporting her to and from her exams.”

“Can’t you go home on your own when you’re such an adult? You need a ride.”

Cheng Li stood on her tiptoes and raised her arms, allowing Cheng Ming to carry her to the car, using soft and cute gestures to say fierce words.

“Ahahaha ……” Lin Jingyi returned a dry laugh, she was indeed haunted.

“This is the same for you.” Cheng Ming said as he picked up his sister.

Cheng Li took off her school bag and carried it on her front chest, her back pressed against Cheng Ming’s chest, and said defensively, “It’s obviously you yourself, brother, who wants to come and pick me up, I used to go home by myself, I didn’t say anything about letting you pick me up and take me home with such childish words.”

Can’t argue with that.

Since that time in Zhao Lei’s kitchen to show cooking, home lunch basically by Cheng Ming contracted, never eaten packaged meals, noon after school, Cheng Ming to pick up his sister and then go to the market to buy food has become an agreed upon habit.

“Then as an adult you must be able to go to school independently, right?”

Cheng Li said with a straight face, “Why walk when you can take the car to school?”

“Brother, you idiot, can’t you even tell the direction? This isn’t the direction to go home, is it.”

“Oh, we’ll send Jing Jing home first, then we’ll go home again, this part of the road is just a drive.” Cheng Ming explained.

“What’s the point, why don’t we just go to our house for lunch?”

“Eh, is it okay?” Lin Jingyi asked in surprise.

“Why not? But you have to wash the dishes after you eat and no freeloading.”

Cheng Ming rubbed his chin against his sister’s head and laughed, “You’re just too lazy to wash the dishes! What kind of person lets a guest wash the dishes.”

Today it should be his sister’s turn to take a bath, although Cheng Ming usually spoiled his sister, it was not an unlimited favor, occasionally he would still let her help with some chores.

Otherwise, you’ll really become a yummy, lazy, dry girl.

“It’s fine, it’s fine, I’m still embarrassed to rub my nose in your house if you don’t let me do the dishes.”

Sure enough, dealing with Xiao Li was all about retreating to advance, Lin Jingyi secretly rejoiced in her heart.

“That’s it.” Cheng Li agreed, it was great not to have to wash the dishes.

While she likes to play with bubbles, she doesn’t like grease stains.

Lin Jingyi and Cheng Li reached a rare consensus that this wave was a win-win situation.
