Su Li was his kept woman for four years. During the day, she was a dedicated secretary, and at night, she was his affectionate 'partner.'
One day, rumors spread within their circle th...
The next day, Su Li was going to take Su Chen to register at the new school.
As a result, the kid never got out of bed.
"Xiao Chen, look at the time! If you don't get up, you'll be late for school."
Su Li knocked on the door a few times, but there was still no response from inside.
"What's wrong with this child? Has something happened?"
She turned the doorknob and went inside, where she saw Su Chen lying quietly on the bed.
"Xiao Chen, what's wrong?" She walked to the bedside and shook his shoulder.
Su Chen opened his eyes groggily, looking weak, and said, "Sister, my head is spinning, and I feel really unwell. Am I sick?"
She reached out and touched his forehead; his temperature was normal, ruling out a fever.
"What do you mean you're not feeling well? You're just lying to me because you don't want to go to school. That trick won't work. Get up now."
"No, I'm really uncomfortable."
Su Chen's face was pale, and she turned over.
Seeing how uncomfortable he was, Su Li wondered if he had really caught a cold.
"Miss Su?"
Xiao Yu's voice rang out from outside the courtyard.
They had agreed to go out together, and he probably came looking for her because she hadn't gone out yet.
Su Li got up and went out, saying to him, "Dr. Xiao, my younger brother seems to be sick. Could you take a look at him?"
"sure."
Xiao Yu walked in and went to Su Chen's bedroom.
Upon seeing him, Su Chen immediately shrank into the blankets, like a mouse seeing a cat.
Su Li stood to the side and said, "You know Dr. Xiao, so what are you afraid of?"
"Sister, I'm afraid of needles."
"Dr. Xiao doesn't have any needles right now."
"Sister, please go out. I'm embarrassed to have you here."
"What's there to be shy about? You're not naked, are you? Hurry up, don't waste time." Su Li stepped forward and was about to pull back his blanket.
Xiao Yu reached out to stop her and smiled, "Miss Su, let me take a look at Xiao Chen. Why don't you go outside and wait for a moment?"
"All right."
Su Li withdrew her hand, turned around and walked out.
Seeing the door close, Su Chen finally peeked out from under the covers and breathed a sigh of relief. "My sister is really terrifying. I told her I was sick, but she wouldn't let me off the hook. She even called a doctor over to examine me right there."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Your sister is just worried about you. Let me take your pulse."
Su Chen immediately covered his hand and said, "It's just a minor illness, I don't need to see a doctor."
"Are you faking illness to fool your sister?"
"Shh!" Su Chen put his middle finger to his lips, looking very cautious. "Be careful my sister hears this, she'll beat you up."
"Your sister is so gentle, she wouldn't hit someone, would she?"
"Her gentleness and beauty are just appearances; you don't understand how strict she is with me."
Seeing that he was in excellent spirits and did not seem to be sick, Xiao Yu got up with peace of mind.
"Now that you're alright, I'm relieved. But can you tell me why you were faking your illness?"
"I don't want to go to school."
"Why?"
"It's no use. I already know everything I'm supposed to know. I find those teachers' classes too easy. They can't answer the questions I ask, so I find it boring. I'd rather stay home and develop other talents. But I definitely won't slack off on my studies, but my sister doesn't believe me."
It seems this child is a super academic achiever.
Xiao Yu took a closer look at his room. There were guitars, electronic drums, violins, and other instruments. Various dartboard pictures and fighting formulas were also hanging on the walls.
"You have quite a wide range of talents."
Su Chen gently raised his chin. "That's right. Boys will be the pillars of the family in the future. How can they not develop themselves?"
"You're quite clever. I'll be going now; I have to take your sister to her new company interview today."
"Dr. Xiao, please don't tell her that I was faking my illness. I will definitely go to school, but not today."
"good."
Xiao Yu agreed, appreciating his quick wit and tact.
