Chapter 315 Torture Creates a Conditioned Reflex

After being scolded by Chen Fangli, Chu Dexi's face fell.

"Okay, I see. Fine, I won't tell you then..."

Shen Xuewei reached out and pulled him close.

"Kang Kang, have you been behaving well at home lately? Have you made your mom angry?"

Chu Dexi rolled his eyes, pondering whether to say yes or no.

Chen Fangli directly exposed him, saying, "He's really naughty now, even more so than De'an was when he was a kid. He gets disciplined every few days."

"Mom, I didn't!" Chu Dexi retorted loudly.

Shen Xuewei said sternly, "You, Chu Dexi, promised me on the phone that you would behave, but you lied to me. I even bought you a toy, what a pity..."

Upon hearing that the toy he was about to get was about to fly away, Chu Dexi immediately became anxious.

"It's no pity, it's no pity. Sis, I was wrong. I promise I won't make Mom angry again. I...I promise!"

The villagers working in the fields stopped what they were doing when they saw Shen Xuewei return and greeted her.

"Hey, isn't this Weiwei? You're back from university?"

"Yes, school is on winter break, so I'm coming back to spend the Lunar New Year with my aunt and uncle."

"Universities are letting out for summer break so early. My daughter, Xiaomeng, is in junior high school in town, and I heard she won't be out for several more days."

"You old man, how can college be the same as junior high? I heard that college not only has earlier holidays, but also fewer classes."

...

As she walked through the village to her home, Shen Xuewei forced a smile and exchanged pleasantries with the villagers.

Meanwhile, Chu Dexi, who was beside her, had already made at least ten promises in her ear.

This kid has always been a smooth talker, so the chances of him keeping his promises are extremely low.

For the sake of a toy he had never seen before, he used almost every word he knew, and then stood by and watched Shen Xuewei longingly.

Every time Shen Xuewei saw him like this, she felt as if he was bullying her second uncle...

Upon hearing from the villagers that Shen Xuewei had returned, Grandpa Chu and Chu Fu, who were catching chickens in the open space behind the village, rushed home after catching their chickens.

"Weiwei, you're back?"

"Yes, I packed my things and came back right after the exam. Oh, by the way, Grandpa Chu and Second Uncle, I brought you all gifts, one for each of you."

Two similar faces simultaneously broke into a wide grin, "You silly child, just focus on your studies, why bring a gift..."

He said this, but then craned his neck to watch Shen Xuewei open the large suitcase next to him.

The suitcase was opened, revealing a dazzling array of various items inside.

The food, the items, the toys... it was dazzling to everyone.

"Second Aunt, this is the face cream I bought for you. Try it out. And this cashmere coat, I think it suits you perfectly. People will be so envious of you if you wear it during the New Year."

"Grandpa Chu, these are for you. The soles are non-slip, and there's thick fleece inside; they'll keep you warm in winter."

"By the way, Uncle, didn't you buy a suit last month but not leather shoes? I brought you a nice pair..."

Shen Xuewei distributed the gifts to them, tidied up the rest of her luggage, and planned to go to the Chen family with Chu De'an in a few days when he had a holiday, and bring these gifts with her.

The group of people couldn't stop smiling as they took the things Shen Xuewei had given them.

Chu Dexi looked at the two beautifully packaged toys in Shen Xuewei's suitcase and couldn't help but reach out and touch them.

"sister……"

Shen Xuewei glanced at him and handed him the remote-controlled spherical robot.

"Here, this is for you, and the other one is for your brother. Go have some fun."

Chu Dexi hugged his toy, let out a whoosh, and rushed out of the house to show it off to his friends in the village.

Shen Xuewei placed the gift for Chu De'an in his room so that he could see it when he returned.

Seeing the slight fatigue on her face, Chen Fangli urged her to go back to her room to rest.

"You sleep for a while, your second aunt and I will make dinner. We'll wake you up when the food is ready. Be good, go now..."

Shen Xuewei yawned, and a tear welled up in the corner of her eye.

"Okay, I'll go to the restroom first. Auntie, where are my slippers?"

"I put the slippers in your room. Wait a moment, I'll get them for you. They were just washed the day before yesterday..."

She took out slippers for Shen Xuewei to change into, and after Shen Xuewei took off her shoes, she gestured to the top of Shen Xuewei's boots.

"Why are your shoes so long? Aren't you cold wearing a short skirt in the middle of winter?"

Shen Xuewei twirled around in front of her playfully. "I'm not cold. I'm wearing tights underneath. Auntie, do I look good dressed like this?"

Chen Fangli carefully examined her, straightened the beret that Shen Xuewei had deliberately worn askew, and nodded, saying:

"It looks good. Young girls should dress like this."

Shen Xuewei was indeed quite tired, so she only talked to her for a few minutes, went to the toilet, and then went back to her room to sleep.

She slept quite soundly. Chen Fangli knocked on the door and called her several times, but she didn't wake up.

He had no choice but to call her name loudly again, and when there was still no response, he pushed the door open and went in.

Shen Xuewei was fast asleep in bed. Chen Fangli called her name twice, but she still didn't respond.

She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and scratched Shen Xuewei's armpit twice.

Shen Xuewei jumped up and sat on the bed with a blank look in her eyes.

Chen Fangli pushed her somewhat messy hair back behind her head.

"Get up quickly, your second aunt saved some chicken legs for you. If you're slow, Kang Kang might eat both of them."

Shen Xuewei stretched and slowly got out of bed.

Chen Fangli rummaged through the closet and found an old coat that Shen Xuewei had worn before, and made Shen Xuewei put it on.

Sitting at the dining table, as the fragrant chicken soup came into view, Shen Xuewei finally came to her senses.

The Chu family's meals are always very lively.

Everyone asked Shen Xuewei about her life at school and then talked about the recent events involving Chu De'an and Chu Dexi.

Little Yellow smelled the aroma and lay down under the table, waiting for people to throw it chicken bones.

After the meal, everyone at the table was full, but Xiao Huang kept gnawing on chicken bones without even lifting his head.

After Chen Fangli finished tidying up the table, she swept the floor and chased Xiao Huang out from under the table.

Xiao Huang looked around and then lay down at Shen Xuewei's feet to continue gnawing on the bone.

Chu Dexi was playing with his toys and running around the room when he suddenly sat down on Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang had probably been tormented by him many times, and was so frightened that he wouldn't even gnaw on the chicken bones. With a "whoosh," he darted out of the house like a yellow lightning bolt.

Without Xiao Huang as a cushion, Chu Dexi plopped down on the ground, looking somewhat dazed.

Having witnessed the whole process, Shen Xuewei thought to herself that Kang Kang was getting more and more troublesome, even tormenting Xiao Huang to the point of developing a conditioned reflex.

She reached out and lifted Chu Dexi, who had fallen to the ground.

"How are you? Did you hurt yourself?"

Chu Dexi pouted, "Little Yellow threw me, I'm never playing with it again!"

Hearing the commotion, Chu Fu came over, brushed the dust off his backside, and scolded:

"How many times have I told you, stop bullying Xiao Huang. It's our guard dog, not your ride. Riding a dog will make you pee your pants, you know?"

“If you do this again…” He paused, walked outside, picked up a thin bamboo stick, and smacked the ground next to Chu Dexi with it.
