Chapter 157 – Love in the open

“Chen Ziyi, you got up really early.” Cheng Ming said with a leathery smile.

“It’s not early ah, it gets light very early in the summer, I ran all the way here in the morning.” Chen Ziyi said as she swayed her arms back and forth.

Chen Ziyi was indeed covered in a sports suit, a breathable genuine Adi t-shirt, pink sneakers, and a very trendy fanny pack on her chest.

The bangs on her forehead are slightly stuck together by sweat, so it’s no wonder that she’s still very girly every once in a while when she’s tending to her bangs.

“Please come in.” Cheng Ming said as he opened the door.

The thought of introducing Xu Juan to both his sister and Chen Ziyi, Cheng Ming was a bit headstrong. But with someone that big, it wasn’t like he could treat her like air.

Chen Ziyi asked with a keen sense of smell, “These are a girl’s shoes, right? It’s a bit old, looking at the size of the shoe it doesn’t look like Xiao Li’s, Jing Yi couldn’t have come over so early, whose is it?”

“Guests.”

“Besides me and Jingyi, you have other female guests?” Chen Ziyi asked in surprise.

Cheng Ming retorted cheekily, “Don’t look down on people! I still have Ren!”

“Brother, Rei is my guest.”

“It’s our guest.”

“Who is Xiao Ren?” Chen Ziyi curiously asked after her, this sounded like a girl’s name, and it was the cute kind.

“Zhao Lei’s sister.”

Chen Ziye asked with a confused face, “And who is Zhao Lei?”

“Our classmate ah, my previous classmate, don’t you even remember your classmate?”

“Why should someone you don’t know remember?”

This was pretty much the same for Cheng Ming, especially after being reborn, two thirds of the class were unfamiliar faces.

The door to the study was hidden, and Cheng Ming purposely didn’t close it when he left, just to test whether Xu Juan would take advantage of the fact that no one was home to go out for a walk.

Some people are so cool in front of people, but when no one is around, they are just sandy.

Cheng Ming pushed open the door and enthusiastically introduced, “This one is the daughter of my dad’s friend, called Xu Juan, who is temporarily staying at my house.”

“Cheng Ming, why would such a beautiful girl live in your house?” Chen Ziyi said in a puzzled manner as she clasped her arms in front of her.

Cheng Ming spread his hands and said, “You’ll have to ask my dad about this, it’s not like it has anything to do with me.”

“Xu Juan, this one is my sister, called Cheng Li.” Cheng Ming’s hands rested on Cheng Li’s shoulders and said.

It’s her, it’s her. It’s really her, Xu Juan.

Cheng Li’s pupils contracted and focused, clenching her small fists and waving them at Xu Juan with hostility.

Why she was not on this side of the new home last night ah, so that brother and Xu Juan slept together all night, it will not be renewed to do a cool it.

“This one is my classmate ……,” Cheng Ming said instead, “friend, Chen Ziyi.”

Xu Juan turned her head to look at Cheng Ming and the others without any interest and continued to bury her head in her book.

“Isn’t that my novel she’s holding? Why did you lend it to someone else without my consent?” Chen Ziyi questioned as she grabbed Cheng Ming’s ear.

Cheng Ming grabbed Chen ZiYi’s hand away in a bad mood and said, “That book was originally borrowed by me from the library, it’s my right to lend the book to whomever I want, right?”

“I just left the book with you, I didn’t say I was returning it to you.” Chen Ziyi said forcefully.

“Now go get my book back and I’ll forgive you.” Chen Ziyi said as she pushed Cheng Ming’s back.

“Eh, that’s not very nice, you want to read the rest of the book, I can tell you about it.”

Isn’t it bullying to force your way to get the book back?

Cheng Ming and Chen Ziyi were chatting loudly, totally plotting out loud to do something bad.

Xu Juan got up with the book and handed it to Cheng Ming saying, “Give it back.”

Chen Ziyi pushed Cheng Ming away and pushed the book back, smiling apologetically, “I’m just kidding, just read it and return it to me when you’re done, we can also exchange plots together.”

Where’s the arrogance from earlier?

But it’s good, if you really want to bully Xu Juan, Cheng Ming will be the first one to say no, maybe it’s also because he bullied her too much in his last life, Cheng Ming just wants to love her to his heart’s content now.

“Let’s get out of here, don’t disturb her reading.”

Cheng Ming pushed Chen Zi Yi and took his sister’s hand to leave the study.

“What’s wrong with this person, he’s too rude, isn’t he even going to pretend?” Chen Ziyi covered her mouth and complained.

Cheng Ming thought to himself You don’t look any better than her at school.

It was only that Chen Ziyi had the capital of being high and cold, even if she ignored people, no one dared to hold a grudge against her, and even felt that this was the way she should be.

Cheng Li concurred, “That’s right, that’s right, I don’t even want to entertain her with this kind of guest.”

Violently kicking out Xu Juan will instead make her look even more pathetic and allow her to garner more love from her brother, which is the next best thing.

But before she goes, let’s get some revenge.

But if she didn’t like her brother, without that premise, the shock caused by her catching adultery wasn’t enough ah, I guess even her poker face wouldn’t change at all, silently closing the door.

The remorse she has tasted must be made to taste and remember for the rest of her life, and when she does it with her brother, she will think of me.

But letting him like his brother first, it always feels weird, greening himself for life first, then greening her again? And make enemies for yourself?

No matter what, they were already rivals, and they’ve been green once before, so what’s the harm in doing it again?

You’ve got a lot of ambition, and you want to start a harem just because you’re born again, right?

Obviously, he had a girlfriend, but he was still eyeballing this rich girl, and it was only because the brother was unfaithful that he could take a shot at his sister, which was a blessing in disguise for her, I guess.

“There’s a reason she’s the way she is, and we have to understand ……”

Cheng Ming briefly talked about the tragedy in Xu Juan’s family.

“Being unfortunate is not a reason for her to put on a smug face, it’s like she’s selling herself short and saying, “I’m so pathetic, you guys have to come and care about me.” Just because life is so hard, she has to pull herself together and smile. If even she doesn’t care about herself, who is expected to care about her.”

Cheng Ming agreed with what Chen Ziyi said.

“But not everyone is as strong as you are, and some people just need someone to lean on.”

“The subtext is that you want to be her dependence, this is something I need to talk to Jingyi about before I can do so, my own boyfriend wanting to be someone else’s dependence is a very dangerous sign.” Chen Ziyi said as she pulled out her cell phone.

“I wasn’t going to keep it from her in the first place.”

Nor can it be hidden at all.

“By the way, when are you guys going to the pool? We have to buy swimsuits first, I don’t think I can wear my old ones anymore, I have to buy new ones, so let’s go together then.”

“Jing Jing even told you about this?” Cheng Ming asked in shock.

“Is it weird to say that? I also told Jingyi about the game we’re going to do together as well, she wants to help out as well, she’s coming over this afternoon with revision questions and we’ll prepare for the touch test together.”

You guys are exchanging information across the room, are you playing in open card mode? Can’t you be serious in love?

Wouldn’t this make Cheng Ming embarrassed, if he lied to anyone, he would be exposed in minutes.

“It’s only mid-July, it’s too early, just blitz the last two or three days of this kind of exam.”

Chen Ziyi put up three fingers and said, “Our goal is the college entrance exam, now there are still three years left for the college entrance exam, right, so cheer up.”

As soon as he heard about the college entrance exam, Cheng Ming’s stomach suddenly hurt.

“Game, what game?” Cheng Li asked confused, she had only left for a day ah, how come there was such a huge drop in intelligence.
