"Aren't you supposed to speak as a representative at the pep rally next Tuesday? This morning, your teacher Fang came to me and asked me to guide you in writing an original motivational speech. Do you have time? Do you need me to help you write it?"

Oh... I see.

After calming herself down, Chen Bing, feeling guilty, was too embarrassed to trouble Lord Tai Shui, so she said that she would write it herself and might need his corrections later.

After agreeing to Chen Bing's statement, Yunxuan asked another question.

"When do you have time? How about Bingbing, you come to our house to write after you get home every night?"

Chen Bing readily agreed, nodding repeatedly.

"Oh, right, you came to Auntie's house to write a speech, so don't get distracted just because Yunmiao is here."

!!

She said it, she said it anyway, and it was so unexpected.

Looking embarrassed, Chen Bing looked down at Teacher Yun sitting in the chair. She saw that the teacher's expression had completely changed to a mocking look, as if he was watching the show or giving her a warning.

Chen Bing wanted to explain, but the words stuck in her throat because the other person hadn't directly mentioned what had just happened.

Seeing how amusing he was, Teacher Yun seemed to take a liking to him as well, and added, "You should also be mindful of the occasion at school."

Comrade Xiao Chen couldn't hold back any longer; he tried to get through the crisis with a joke.

He replied glibly, "Because Yunmiao is just as beautiful as you, teacher, sometimes I can't help myself. I think if it were Uncle Shang, he would definitely understand me."

Who could resist such words from an outstanding, handsome, and likable boy? Yunxuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle after hearing this, then jokingly said, "I'll go back and ask him. I'm also curious if he was like this before."

This isn't right, Ms. Yun. With your great and gentle nature, you wouldn't do something like tattling, would you? Please be mindful of your conduct as a teacher.

After internally complaining, Chen Bing repeatedly declined Yun Xuan's suggestion with a forced smile.

In the end, this crisis, which was both big and small, was weathered.

Before leaving, Yunxuan gave Chen Bing two cups of refreshing fruit tea to take home and drink.

Thinking of giving Chen Bing an even better cup of tea, Chen Bing thanked him repeatedly, then left the office with the fruit tea in one hand and the exam papers in the other.

I had just returned to the classroom and finished handing out the test papers when the physics teacher, who was teaching the third period, walked into the classroom.

Shang Yunmiao wanted to ask Chen Bing what her mother had said, but she didn't dare to ask again until the end of the third class.

"Chen Bing, did Mom say something?"

Chen Bing, who was waiting for her to say this, smiled secretly and then replied with feigned concern: "Aunt Xuan immediately questioned me, asking if I had thought about what would happen if other classmates saw us like this."

"So, how did you answer...?"

"I said I had thought about it, but I also felt that I shouldn't stop doing what I want to do just because I'm afraid of what others think."

These words sound touching at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one can sense that something is amiss.

Then, Xiao Shang couldn't help but wonder if Chen Bing was talking nonsense again.

As if realizing the strangeness of her expression, Chen Bing looked at her with a wronged expression and asked, "Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

"No, no, I don't think so." Xiao Shang waved her hands repeatedly, denying Chen Bing's words and also denying her own inner thoughts.

"real?"

"Uh-huh!"

After finally managing to "coax" Chen Bing, Shang Yunmiao then asked what the two had said next.

"And then? Then Aunt Xuan said to me, since you dared to do it, do you dare to take responsibility for what you did? I immediately replied that I dared and that I would take responsibility for your daughter."

As he spoke, Chen Bing stretched out one hand as if swearing an oath to heaven, as if demonstrating to Shang Yunmiao what he had said and done back then.

Seeing Chen Bing's expression, Shang Yunmiao immediately realized that he had been lying to her. She angrily slapped Chen Bing's raised hand, snorted "liar," and turned back to write her test paper.

With a grin, she leaned close to Shang Yunmiao's ear and told her the truth. Then, the girl put down her pen and pretended to be angry as she said to Chen Bing, "Chen Bing, you're just lying to me. I won't trust you anymore when we get along."

"Really? Have I been put on your blacklist of untrustworthy individuals?"

Shang Yunmiao thought the title of "dishonest person" was quite good, so she nodded in agreement, saying that it was correct.

"Is there any way to get me out of there?" Chen Bing asked, feigning concern, her three fingers unconsciously touching her chin, looking quite distressed.

"Hmm..." Shang Yunmiao pondered. She didn't actually dislike Chen Bing lying; she had only said it because the atmosphere had been right. Now that she had calmed down, she hoped to gain some advantage while keeping Chen Bing in the current state.

With a quick thought, she said very seriously, "If you agree to three requests, I will remove you from the blacklist."

Three requirements?

Chen Bing thought about it and decided it wouldn't hurt to agree, since as a grown man, he had nothing to be afraid of. Even if Shang Yunmiao ordered him to help scrub her back, he...

Damn, now that I think about it, I have to agree!

While scrubbing her back in the bathhouse might be impractical, what kind of demands can a young girl in love make of her handsome, intelligent, and outstanding boyfriend? It's nothing more than kisses, hugs, and piggyback rides; what's there to be afraid of?

Chen Bing immediately agreed and generously expanded the three requests to five. The purpose of this generosity was to hope that the other party would reciprocate by agreeing to even one of their small requests.

Unfortunately, Shang Yunmiao didn't have this kind of good idea of ​​repaying kindness in return. She just happily agreed and then nothing more happened.

"Tell me, what are your requirements?"

"I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you when I've thought it through."

"You say you'll wait until you've thought it through, but actually you're thinking of playing it by ear and making demands of me only when something happens, right?"

"hey-hey……"

Chen Bing patted Shang Yunmiao's head and smiled indulgently, without saying anything more.

He took the conversation as a joke and didn't take it seriously. But unexpectedly, soon after, as the genie, he encountered the lovely girl's first wish.
