Chapter 137: Too Deeply Involved

Early in the morning, Li Ying woke up Cheng Ming and Cheng Li and started to pack the house and the clothes to be changed in these ten days and half a month.

The plumber will be at your home this afternoon to survey and then begin drilling holes to renovate and remodel the plumbing.

Unplug all kinds of electrical appliances, bundle up quilts, roll up bamboo mats, then cover appliances, dining tables, sofas, bedpans, etc. with dust sheets and plastic sheeting, and lock valuables in drawers and cabinets.

Cheng Ming is looking at the mom specially put the wedding ring and necklace into the bag to take away, this is not quite valued well.

Or it could be simply a matter of being heartbroken.

The three worked until about ten o’clock before calling it a day.

Cheng Ming and Cheng Li both grimy, forced to organize their own rooms, after the renovation and have to clean up again, think of the waist pain.

“You two want to go to lunch with me? I can treat you to a big meal.” Lai Ying asked with a smile.

“Yeah, I want steak.” Cheng Li raised her hands high in the air and cheered.

Cheng Ming saw the novel in his book bag before he suddenly remembered someone’s promise and slapped his forehead, “Oh shit, I promised my classmates that I would meet up in the morning.”

Chen Ziyi also let him get up early, difficult, mom let him work, other things can only be temporarily put behind.

“Male classmates, or female classmates?” Cheng Li asked with a keen sense of smell.

“Girl, that’s Chen Ziyi, we met at the movie theater and the burger place.”

In front of his mom, Cheng Ming did not dare to say that he took his sister to the game hall, and could only subtly replace it with the movie theater downstairs, like a code word, or else even the dog’s leg would be broken.

“What, female classmates? You even know female classmates other than Jing Jing? Got your head screwed on straight?”

“Eh, why would someone like Sister Chen meet her brother during summer vacation? Did the sun come out of the west?”

Mom and her sister looked at Cheng Ming with unbelievable faces, as if they were looking at aliens.

Hey, hey, you guys, don’t go too far.

“It’s when I was studying for my midterm, she lent me her reading notes, and I’m going to return them now.”

Cheng Ming said blindly with his eyes open, there is no way, this thing of novels is the same as the game, it belongs to the prohibited items, so he can not say it explicitly.

As a result, it made it seem as if Chen Ziyi had really taken credit for his midterm results.

“Then you do have to thank people, I told you so, how could you brat get such a high score of 695.”

Can’t you trust your son a little more?

“How much did she get on this midterm? It must be higher than yours, over 700 points, right? It can’t be the top ten in the city, there doesn’t seem to be a girl named Chen in the top ten.”

“She didn’t take the middle school exam and was directly guaranteed a place in the first middle school.” Cheng Ming spread his hands and said.

“That’s even better, this friend has to be made, maybe he can help out during the college entrance exams.”

We’re not even in the same high school. How can we help? Cheng Ming’s Jing Jing is enough.

“Why don’t you hurry up and go get her, don’t keep your classmates waiting too long.”

“Yes yes.”

Cheng Ming sat down at the entrance hall to put on his shoes.

“I’m going with my brother too.”

Cheng Li was about to catch up with Cheng Ming when Li Ying grabbed her arm and put it in her arms and said, “Your brother is meeting with a classmate, so don’t get involved.”

“I’m not going to add to the mess, Sister Chen likes me a lot, she even gave me the big shark pillow, and Sister Chen will lend her brother study notes just for my sake.”

How dare you talk nonsense? You’re a match for your brother.

“I’ll go with you guys, and by the way, let’s invite her to join us for lunch and thank her.” Riying suggested.

Cheng Ming almost agreed, but on second thought, the place where he and Chen Ziyi met was on the wrong side of the table at Hao Jia Ji.

Shen Shin is working at Hao Jia Ji again.

Definitely can’t let mom and Shen Xiao meet, God knows what will happen.

Even if divorced, Cheng Ming still do not want to deepen the misunderstanding of the father and mother each other, his relationship with Shen Xiao is not explained clearly, the store and who opened, and Zhan Qiaoyun also did not have the right word of mouth, if the leakage of the mouth, it’s all over.

“It’s not the turn for mom to make an appearance, I will thank her properly myself, mom suddenly went to see her. On the contrary, it will give her a lot of pressure, with elders around, we are all very formal and can’t let go.” Cheng Ming waved his hand and said.

Cheng Ming, who had put on his shoes, got up and said, “I’m going out first.”

“I’m going out too, brother wait for me.”

Cheng Li broke away from Li Ying’s embrace and rushed into Cheng Ming’s arms.

“You two siblings, forget it, I’m an old man so I won’t bother your young people’s party, here’s the lunch money.” Lai Ying pulled out a red ticket from his wallet.

Cheng Li’s eyes gleamed as he took the bills and said, “Ohhh, huge money.”

My mom, who always deducted my allowance, was so generous.

“Make sure you take your classmates out for a nice meal, and also, we’re going to Jing Jing’s house for dinner tonight, so don’t hang around too long, and get over there by four o’clock in case we can’t find any of you guys at dinner time.”

“Why did you suddenly go to Jing Jing’s house for dinner?” Cheng Ming asked, confused.

“A long overdue little get-together to celebrate your high scores on the midterm. Anyway, our house is cut off from water and electricity tonight, so there’s no place to go.”

The latter reason is the point, I guess, but that’s fine.

You can see Jing Jing, and after establishing a relationship, you can’t wait to see each other every day and get tired of each other.

She also had to give her the address and phone number of her new home, it’s bad when you can’t find someone who wants to find your own.

Cheng Ming mortared outside the door of Haojiaji and saw Chen Ziyi inside the store through the glass window, quietly flipping through a book, occasionally taking a sip of Coke and smoothing her sideburns.

Inching forward, Cheng Ming even wanted to turn his head and bolt.

I wonder how long Chen Ziyi has been waiting, if only she wasn’t at the store.

Cheng Ming sent the book here and instructed Sister Shen Xiao to give it to Chen Zi Yi when she saw him.

And he himself simply buggered off and got out of the way, not having to see each other all summer or even in the future.

“Brother, why don’t you go in?” Cheng Li asked, pushing Cheng Ming’s back.

“Scared of Sister Chen? It’s okay, I’ll protect my brother.” Cheng Li said loudly.

“It’s not your turn to protect me.”

Cheng Ming smiled and rubbed Cheng Li’s hair in a messy way as he pushed the door open.

“Welcome.”

Hanging a standard business smile, Shen Xiao greeted her, awkwardly pointing to the corner table and said, “That kid came to look for you yesterday afternoon, waiting at the door at 7:30 in the morning, scaring Sister Qiaoyun, and just now looking at you standing still at the doorway, I don’t know if I should tell you to come in or not.”

“Wow, it’s Little Li and Big Brother, long time no see.” Huang Lingyu rushed out from backstage and held Cheng Li’s small hand and Cheng Ming’s big hand.

“Hello Ri and big brother.”

Huang Lingyin held Cheng Ming and Cheng Li’s other hand, and the four of them formed a circle and spun around.

“You guys have to call me Sister Xiao Li, I’m older than you guys.” Cheng Li said with a stern face.

“It’s so weird to be Ri when you’re obviously a sister, hahaha ……”

Suzaku, who had inexplicably poked the small store, laughed out loud.

“I think Ri sounds better.” Suzaku whispered.

She was weaker in nature, but less fearful of life than she had been a few months ago, it was what she did that was always slower than Suzuyu, the twins were always glued together, and no one could do anything without them.

“You guys don’t play in the store, it will affect the guests, if you want to play go play in the nearby open space.” Shen Xiao crossed her arms and said in a nasty manner.

Cheng Ming immediately stood still, the other three could not brake immediately, and the four crashed into a ball.

Cheng Ming was holding Suzaku in his left hand, Suzaku in his right hand, and Xiao Li was holding his waist by herself. The three little ones were all spinning a little dizzy and could not stand very steadily, so they could only lean on Cheng Ming and slowly wait for heaven and earth to return to their place.

“Stand firm, go apologize to Sister Shen Xiao first before going to play.” Cheng Ming said as he helped the three in turn, he was going to apologize over there as well.

“Long time waiting for your novel.”

Cheng Ming sat across from Chen Ziyi and respectfully presented the novel with both hands.

Chen Ziyi rested her hands on her cheeks and smiled kindly, “You still know to come, are your last words ready? Do you want to sleep for a day and a night, or do you want to sleep for a long time?”

Obviously, it was a full summer and a beautiful young girl’s surplus of smiles, but Cheng Ming had a chill down his spine.

“Is there a need to make it sound so scary?”

“What do you think? No one answered the phone at your house, and I was so late that I thought something had happened to you that I was going to call the police.”

“I was packing up the house and my bags this morning, so I’m sorry for being late and keeping you waiting.”

Cheng Ming held the table with both hands and sincerely bowed his head to apologize, yesterday afternoon it could be said that Chen Ziyi was wishful thinking, in the morning it was completely Cheng Ming’s fault.

“What’s the point of packing your house and bags? You in trouble? Ready to run?”

“You’re thinking too dark, aren’t you? Why would you think of that place in the first place, it’s a home to renovate the plumbing and electricity, can’t be lived in for a while, move somewhere else for a while.”

“To move in with Jingyi? Even if you’re childhood friends and girlfriends, it’s not good to live together unmarried, right? What if something happens?”

“How can we go to her house to sleep ah, Jing Jing still lives in the unit’s silo, it’s super small, and it’s not a child, it’s impossible to squeeze into the same bed to sleep ……”

“You’re bragging to me about the honorable deed of being a childhood friend again, is it fun to keep revealing my scars?” Chen Zi Yi pulled Cheng Li’s face and said.

“It’s normal for childhood friends to sleep together as kids, right?”

“Where is normal? Impure, please don’t take your normal for common sense, pervert, so where are you staying? A hotel? A guesthouse?”

“Sort of a new home, my parents divorced not too long ago.” Cheng Ming scratched the back of his head and said.

“This is the first time I’ve heard of this, looking at you siblings it doesn’t seem to have affected you too much, what’s the address of your new home? Where’s the phone number for the new home?”

“No, do I have to tell you that too?”

“You can’t tell me, but I always have a way of knowing, and I think it’s better for you to be honest with me than for me to just show up on your doorstep out of the blue, or is it better for me to call and tell you I’m coming over to hang out first?”

This is a naked threat ah, Chen Ziyi trick Yang tactics, favorite open card play, Cheng Ming had to tell the truth.

Huang Lingyu burrowed in from under Cheng Ming’s armpit and probed, “Eh, did Xiao Li and Big Brother’s mom and dad get divorced too?”

“Exactly.”

Speaking of which, it was Cheng Ming who single-handedly facilitated the divorce between Huang Yong and Zhan Qiaoyun.

“Big brother don’t be sad.”

Huang Suoyin stood on the chair and tenderly stroked Cheng Ming’s head.

“Do you guys want mom and dad to get divorced?” Cheng Ming asked as he back-touched Suzume and Suzaku’s heads.

“Before the divorce, daddy was always scolding mommy and stealing her money, mommy cried all day long, now mommy smiles more, so the divorce is a good thing.” Huang Lingyu said as she shook her little head from side to side.

“Let’s make a new family then, I’ll be the daughter and big brother will be the father.” Suzume Huang, who liked to play house the most, said.

Huang Lingyu pointed at herself and asked, “So I’m the mom?”

“Suzuyu you’re also a daughter, I’m older than you guys, how do you look at it, I’m the mom.” Cheng Li said proudly patting her chest.

“Can you add me one if you play games, I’ll be fine as a sister.” Chen Ziyi said as she narrowed her eyes wryly.

“I’m the younger sister, Sister Chen don’t steal my identity.”

“But when you’re a sister, you can’t be a mom, you can only choose one, you can’t have both the fish and the bear.”

Chen ZiYi is a ruthless character ah, actually directly grasp the lifeblood of the sister, every time over the house, Jing Jing is using this reason to force her sister to give up the fight for the position of the mother.

It ended up devolving into just mom, dad, and sister, but no kids over the house.

“I’ll go with the sister then.”

At least the sister is unique, no, the real sister is unique.

Not even the sister is unique, which shows the extent of the brother’s incorrigibility.

“Then I’m a mom, right?” Chen Ziyi said verbatim, “Kisses, love, yes.”

As she spoke, Chen Ziyi reached over her leg under the table and kicked at Cheng Ming’s calf, her toes pinching the flesh of Cheng Ming’s calf.

Cheng Ming, who had received a double blow both mentally and physically, winced, it was really thanks to Chen ZiYi who could say such disgusting three words without changing her face.

Horrible, horrible, not bad for a lover of martial arts novels with such nimble toes.

Cheng Li’s suspicious eyes swept back and forth between Cheng Ming and Chen Ziye.

People of this stature actually treat their brother ……

Although the brother is very good that is, who likes to fall in love with the brother is not surprising, obviously is the skin of a young man, but also in the hands and feet exudes a mature man’s steadiness, is simply loli, teenage girls, imperial sister eat all.

Did she send that love letter to her brother?

I don’t think my brother will accept it, will he?

It didn’t look like it, didn’t reek of that established relationship.

An unexpected opponent enters the game, or one whose intelligence is not fully unlocked.

Difficult to deal with, even though it’s something her brother’s real girlfriend should have a headache with, and she just needs to be her sister’s lover.

But of course the fewer women sharing her brother the better, preferably only one as a puppet fake girlfriend and wife who comes to monopolize her brother.

How could she stand still when a new enemy had appeared!

First, she finds out about her brother’s real girlfriend and makes them squirm and fight while she sits on the bed and reaps the benefits.

The trick is called driving a tiger to swallow a wolf.

No, it’s the girlfriend catching adultery with the sister in tow.

“Eh heh heh ……”

Cheng Li couldn’t help but giggle out loud.

“Daddy, I want to play on the swing.”

Huang Lingyu had already gotten into the mood, sitting on the soles of Cheng Ming’s feet, hugging his thighs, and starting to rock back and forth.

“I want to play too.”

It wasn’t good, the body wouldn’t be able to hold up if the two were together, not to mention that Cheng Ming’s body hadn’t fully recovered yet.

Cheng Ming had to hold the twins’ backs to minimize the pressure on his legs.

How could Cheng Li watch another woman play with her brother’s body with abandon, the little girls couldn’t either, crawling to the space between Cheng Ming’s legs and sitting down.

Settle down. It’s the only place. No one can take it away.

Shen Shin served the water and said, “Would you like something else to drink? That’s what I’m asking, but there’s only plain water in the store besides Coke.”

Shen Xiao turned her head to the twins who were playing happily and said, “Suzaku and Suzaku, don’t overplay, Cheng Ming you too, don’t spoil them all the time, they’re all spoiled by you.”

“Good kids should be spoiled, bad kids should be beaten.”

This was Cheng Ming’s usual policy, right? Of course, it only applied to girls.

“I’m a good boy, and I’m a bad boy once in a while.”

Cheng Li rubbed the top of his head against Cheng Ming’s chin.

“We’re good kids too.” Suzume and Suzaku said in unison.

“Suzaku, let’s take a break.” Suzaku said.

Suzume followed her words, “And then continue.”

“Nah.”

The twins clapped their hands heartily and sat down together beside Cheng Ming, picking up the plain water in front of them.

“Mom says to drink lots of plain water.”

“It’s good for your health, you won’t get sick.”

If Suzume gets more and more lively, it’ll be harder to tell who’s who with these twins.

“We’re playing house, won’t Sister Shen Shin come along to play?” Cheng Li asked, testing to see if Shen Shiao also had non-interest in her brother.

“I’ll forget it, I still have to work.” Shen Xiao politely refused.

If it was just her and Cheng Ming and the twins, it wouldn’t matter if they played house. But playing when there was Xiao Li and Chen Zi Yi around would be too humiliating.

“Sister Shen Shin is the oldest, right? If Sister Shen Shin joins us in playing house, Sister Shen Shin will definitely be the mother, and what is Sister Chen’s status? To be the daughter?”

Without thinking, Chen Ziyi said, “Being a lover or a mistress or something, right?”

“I’m going to work.”

Hearing this word, Shen Xiao directly ran away, even if she was just used and took a few misleading photos, she still couldn’t get over that hurdle in her heart.

“Eh ……”

Wow, this little child what is going on ah, this has gone beyond the cognitive range of elementary school students, the heart shocked Cheng Li only had to pretend to be a face of ignorance, so as not to reveal the filling.

Cheng Ming said bitterly, “Chen Ziye, what are you babbling about?”

“I’m not making this up, aren’t there any of these identities in the house of passages? There’s obviously a lot of them in reality.”

“Of course not, you’re playing some grown-up version of playing house, it’s turning into a children’s cult, okay? Don’t teach the children.”

“Honey, what did you just call me?”

“Chen Ziyi ah, what’s wrong? Do you want me to add classmate? Chen Ziyi classmate?”

“I’ve given you such lovely twin daughters, and you’re still talking to me in the same tone of voice we use with strangers, are you trying to rip me off all over again? Or is your skin itching?” Chen Ziyi asked as she stepped on Cheng Ming’s instep.

Whether it’s getting too deep into the drama or simply trying to catch people out.

“Chen Ziyi, your feet ……”

“I’ve taken my shoes off?”

That’s not the point, is it.

“What do you call me? What should you call me?” Chen Ziyi persistently pursued.

A term of endearment?

The two words of the name is quite troublesome, if like Cheng Ming or Cheng Li two words, directly call the name on the line, natural and does not seem rusty.

Ziyi? Wouldn’t that be a little gross?

Ziz? Squeaky? Mice?

Cumin? That’s becoming a name for spices and other people, isn’t it?

“How’s Ye?”

“Huh?”

“Ah, you pretend I didn’t say that, I’m sorry, I got carried away.”

“No, it’s kinda cute, I don’t hate it is all.”

Chen Ziyi stood up the novel in front of her and buried her head behind the book, revealing only a pair of large eyes, a faint blush coloring her cheeks.

What’s with this natural pouty look!

Cheng Li gritted his teeth and clenched his small fists, you don’t sneak your feet over ah, long legs are amazing ah Cheng Li wanted to go and kick away Chen Ziyi stepping on his brother’s feet, but tragically realized that his legs were not long enough.

Exasperating, because the age and physical limitations are here, plus the soul age doesn’t match.

No matter what Cheng Li does, he feels a little over-loaded, formula-flavored, and probably overly self-conscious.

But it’s good that it wasn’t exposed, and when she’s of age she’ll be unsealed.

“I thought you would call me Ziyi, so it’s a bit of a surprise when you call me that little …… whatever.” Chen ZiYi said in a thin voice.

“You seem like my sister to me, so just ……”

In the eyes of the thirty year old uncle, it would not be an exaggeration to say even a daughter rather than a sister.

“Brother, it’s been said that there can only be one sister for me.”

The insufferable Cheng Li slammed his head into Cheng Ming’s jaw, causing him to grimace in pain.

“I’m not your sister, don’t try to take advantage of me, dead sister controller.” Chen Ziyi said with disgust.

Cheng Ming rubbed his chin and said, “Zi Ran, have you ever been called that when you were a kid? It’s not really hard to hear, it’s just weird.”

It’s not a bad feeling to peel back the layers of Chen Ziyi, who has secrets all over her body.

“Well, always liked to give people nicknames, and when I was a kid I was extra sensitive to that sort of thing, and as soon as I saw me, I said something about adding a little cumin, and after I got angry and cried I wanted to change my name, and my maternal great-grandmother would hug me and comfort me and tell me that it was a good name, and how it was so good it didn’t end up being a good name change.”

“A good name indeed.”

“You really think so?” Chen ZiYi asked, bubbling with excitement.

Cheng Ming gave a thumbs up and said, “Fewer strokes, how easy it is to write.”

“Fuck you!”

Chen Zi Yi kicked Cheng Ming and moved in vain.

After resting, Huang Lingyu and Huang Lingyu swung on Cheng Ming’s lap for a while before forcefully pulling the reluctant Cheng Li to play games in the room upstairs.

She clearly had to protect her brother, without her, he would be eaten by this woman across the street.

Cheng Ming and Chen Ziyi silently read books, but Chen Ziyi’s feet are not too peaceful, always resting on his thigh, rubbing around. Although it did not rub into strange places, but it is very dangerous.

“Can’t you put your feet up? It’s indecent, not ladylike at all.”

“I just like to keep my legs flat, I’m wearing a skirt, you might get a good view now that you’re under the table, and I’m wearing black today.”

“I still want to keep these eyes to see the sun tomorrow.”

“Saying that like I’ll poke your eyes out, I’ll make your eyes see only black at best.”

What’s the difference?

By the time it was meal time, the store was getting crowded.

Chen Ziyi closed the book and got up, “This place is crowded and noisy at meal time, it’s not suitable for reading, let’s take the book to the office over the game room and put it there.”

It was one thing to be so noisy that one couldn’t quieten down to read a book, Chen ZiYi preferred not to have someone come over to share a table for dinner, disturbing the rare time that the two of them spent together.

“After many months, the top and bottom books can finally reunite.” Chen Ziyi said as she glanced at Cheng Ming.

“Say, Chen Ziyi, why did you only borrow the last book? Wouldn’t it be better to borrow another set after reading one? Isn’t it suffocating to read the plot of the first book but not be able to read the next one right away?”

Or does Chen Ziyi just like to hold it in?

And then see cool again all at once?

“What did you call me?”

“Chen Ziyi?”

“What should you call me? Honey, don’t let me remind and hint at you again, okay?”

The toe pinched Cheng Ming’s thigh flesh again.

“Are the house games still going on? Ri and the girls have gone upstairs to play.”

“What do you say? Darling.”

“Little …… art.” Cheng Ming said as he forced himself to hold back his shame, after all, he was not his sister, nor was he Jing Jing.

“Well, that’s good, I hope this is the last time, do you believe me when I say I’m waiting for the right person to borrow the next book?”

“That I certainly don’t believe.”

“I definitely wanted to borrow all the novels at first. But there’s a limited number of them available for loan, and I’d go back when I’d finished one for fear that I wouldn’t get to see those books if they were borrowed.”

“I just thought ah, I borrowed all the upper book, only left the book in the library, other people see no upper book, certainly will not borrow the lower book, I read a book of the upper book, then return to change the lower book, this is originally a seamless and wonderful plan, who knows that you bastard borrowed all the lower book, all almost suffocated me, the plot is all stuck in the high… …point.”

“I only found out by asking the librarian that a guy named Cheng borrowed all the next books, and now you dare to say that you didn’t borrow the next books on purpose to get my attention?”

Chen Ziyi later went to ask the administrator again, the administrator said that no one asked who borrowed the upper, she also asked the borrower: “Only the lower book can also? Sure you want to borrow it?”

“Not really, let’s just say that fate is, well, wonderful.”

Hands down, wouldn’t not going to borrow the book have triggered the rest of the episode.

But would it be a pity and a shame not to be able to get acquainted with Chen Ziyi?

“That movie from two years ago? The one where the heroine is Little Swallow? The content of the movie is not as good as the name, it’s more like it’s called Awful Unspeakable, it’s filmed in a weird way, the clown at the beginning is scary, the plot is strange, I still have the disk at home? Do you want to watch it?”

“I’m not looking.”

That was kind of the hottest time for Little Swallow to make the most pull across movie, and most of the people who went to see it were there for Little Swallow.

Because people still watch fewer movies and haven’t seen many big foreign productions, they watched it with a blank face and saw Little Swallow moving in the screen, so they also thought it was okay, right?

In hindsight, it’s not too much of a stretch to say that it’s a thunder movie and a bad movie, and there’s no point in hurting your eyes.

“Later this year ‘Love is Deep and Rainy’ will finally be aired on TV in China, and it will be available on tvb in May.”

Chen Ziyi is really well-informed… Are the childhood memories coming back?

The reruns that have dominated summer vacation screens for years.

“Are you looking forward to it?”

“Romantic dramas, my mom likes them more and always drags me along to watch them, my dad and I still like martial arts a bit more, my mom says we need to watch something a girl should watch. Can’t girls watch martial arts movies, dramas, and novels? Can’t they play games? I favor it.”

She’s really a rebellious girl, with a hot heart hidden under her cold and noble exterior.

“Fate, wonderful, why not fate, destiny? Cheng Ming, do you believe in destiny?”

“It’s hard not to believe, but I’m just going against the grain.”

“A middle-schooler teenager, has he opened up his chakra yet?”

“Chivalrous Lady, it’s the age of living off your head.” Cheng Ming pointed to his head and said, but he couldn’t do without physical strength, he might die suddenly one day.

“You’re such a dork, do you need this talented woman to enlighten you?”

“Aren’t you a chivalrous woman? How come you’re a talented woman again? Who dunks who yet?”

Cheng Ming’s head was only bursting with knowledge and information.

“Literature and martial arts can’t work, I’ll test you ah, in the novel of old master Jin Yong, who is the person who explicitly wrote the opening of the two chakras of the Ren Duo?”

“Is this your enlightenment? Totally useless knowledge right, who would memorize it except for the bored.”

“I’m sorry I’m so boring.”

But was it meant to be?

Where exactly does the trajectory of the encounter begin to change?

Was he the one who solved the math puzzle and was suspected by his math teacher to begin with?

Or do you start by borrowing books from the library?

Or did it start when he took his sister to the game room?

Or did it start with the separation of classes, or a more distant past that he couldn’t change?
