Cheng Pingxi lowered his head, his deep, dark eyes narrowed slightly, gleaming with a star-like luster.
A thought struck him, and he forced a smile, his voice hoarse from just waking up: "Thank you, Mom. Just make whatever you usually eat; I can eat anything."
"Wait a minute, what did you just call me?!"
The witch's mother was surprised and mimicked the girl covering her mouth.
Cheng Pingxi's lips curled slightly, and he was about to call out "Mom" again when Wu's mother rushed down the stairs like a frantic deer, disregarding her image, and excitedly shouted, "Ahhh, Juemin, Yueyue baby! Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi called me Mom! Ahhh!!"
Next door, Wu Yue, who was wearing pajamas, opened the door: "..."
Have I fallen out of favor again?
Cheng Pingxi glanced at him sideways, a slight smile playing on his lips, his voice deep and resonant: "Good morning."
Wu Yue snorted and went downstairs in her slippers.
I'm so angry!
This guy provoked her first thing in the morning, look at his arrogant, half-smiling expression.
That's so annoying!
...
...
Breakfast was eaten in the lobby.
This was Cheng Pingxi's first visit to our home, and everything was done with great pomp and ceremony.
Except for... Wu Yue, who was wearing bunny pajamas.
The pajamas have two long ears on the hood that make a cute sound when pressed, and they are currently draped lazily over the girl's shoulders.
The Wu family does not have a rule against talking while eating or sleeping.
When everyone eats together, they should get warm and chat. Chatting is the most basic shortcut to break the ice and get to know each other.
Mother Wu ladled a bowl of water chestnut soup with red beans and barley for Cheng Pingxi and asked, "Xiao Xi, at your age, you should be in college, right?"
"I skipped grades several times in junior high and high school, and just graduated from university last year. I studied performing arts and got in with the highest scores in both professional and academic subjects."
Cheng Pingxi answered the question in a calm and unhurried tone.
Wu Yue clutched her chest.
Not only is my deskmate a top student with a photographic memory, but my newly adopted older brother is also a genius who likes to skip grades.
Oh, my heart aches so much!
Wu Yue couldn't help but start questioning the system.
Why didn't you max out all her skills before she entered this world?!
[Player, if you're beautiful, don't get your hopes up too high.]
This isn't a quick transmigration story; it's just an ordinary livestream.
The system's harsh and indifferent voice flew into Wu Yue's left ear and out of her right.
"My little Xi is so outstanding." Mother Wu's eyes were filled with tenderness. "Yueyue, you should also keep up the good work! Be like your brother."
Seeing that her mother was in high spirits, Wu Yue couldn't bear to refuse.
He nodded: "Okay."
"Mom, I have to go to school to do my homework today, so I won't be going out with you."
"Do homework on Sunday?" Mr. Wu was silent for a moment, then began to think. Could it be that his wife was so attentive to their son that she neglected their younger daughter, making her uncomfortable? Was that why she found an excuse to leave home?
"Final exams are coming up soon," Wu Yue replied obediently with a smile. "My grades have risen to first in the grade, so I can't slack off. Many classmates are doing exercises and studying at school, and I can't fall behind."
[She was supposed to be on a date with Lord Yan!!]
I remember now, Cuihua seemed to have brought a letter back last night.
[Haha! I can raise my smoke-themed CP flag again, let's go!]
Cheng Pingxi suddenly remembered something, "Wu... Yueyue, I'll take you to school later."
Just as Wu Yue was about to refuse, Cheng Pingxi added unhurriedly, "I'd also like to talk to you about the album."
The girl paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, brother."
The sight of the brother and sister getting along so happily warmed Wu's mother's heart. She was already imagining the scene of the whole family going on a trip together.
