Shen Linyue stared blankly at He Xiao, feeling as if she had forgotten something but couldn't remember it.
While she was still in a daze, He Xiao had already squeezed past her into the bedroom. He looked around the room and finally found the slippers by the bed.
"Why are you suddenly acting so recklessly? Did you lose your mind after just one night's sleep?" He Xiao threw his shoes in front of her, looking down at her condescendingly: "It's getting cold now, even if you're rebellious, you should still put on your shoes. I wonder who was crying their eyes out during their period."
"If you keep doing this, I won't take care of you next time you have a stomachache."
The boy's voice kept babbling on and on. Shen Linyue's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she came back to her senses, a smile appearing in her eyes: "Ah Xiao won't abandon me."
He Xiao choked, turned his head and coughed awkwardly: "That's not necessarily true."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl threw herself into his arms like a small bomb, causing He Xiao to take a half step back from her sudden action.
He suddenly looked at the little head rubbing against his chest, his voice a little slurred.
"What are you doing? What's wrong with you so early in the morning?" He raised his hand, intending to push her away.
As a result, Shen Linyue tightened her grip on his arms, and a muffled voice came out: "Let me hold you for a while, I'm feeling a little sad right now."
He Xiao stopped pushing her and could only awkwardly let her hug him.
"Only one minute. Any more than that and I'll have to pay." The boy awkwardly turned his head away.
Shen Linyue chuckled: "Ah Xiao, I had a nightmare. I think I dreamt that you were crying."
He Xiao was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips into a cold smile: "This young master will never cry in his life."
Shen Linyue didn't refute him. She only vaguely remembered that He Xiao was crying and looking for his mother in his dream, so she would feel very sad when she saw He Xiao and wanted to hug him and comfort him.
But He Xiao clearly doesn't need these right now.
After dawdling for several seconds, Shen Linyue finally let go of him.
"The floor is warm with the heating on at home." She paused for a second before saying, "But thank you, Xiao, I feel much better now."
After Shen Linyue let go, He Xiao felt a strange sense of loss. After regaining his senses, he said with dissatisfaction, "Having underfloor heating doesn't mean you can be willful."
"Yes, yes, young master, I'll go wash up now. Will you wait for me in the room?" Shen Linyue said.
He Xiao shook his head: "I'm going to meet with the tutor. You should come down as soon as possible."
Shen Linyue blinked and joked, "Then you mustn't drive your tutor away."
"Am I some kind of vicious person?" He Xiao was speechless.
Shen Linyue shook her head and then nodded, looking at him sincerely with her beautiful eyes: "If you weren't fierce, why would so many people at school be afraid of you?"
He Xiao: ...
That's all marketing hype! Marketing!
But he couldn't say these things directly, as it would be embarrassing, so He Xiao could only leave in a huff, feeling resentful.
...
The tutor was a very young man, probably in his early twenties, a junior in college.
When she smiles, she has two shallow dimples on her cheeks, and her eyes are clear and bright. Her lectures are also unhurried, humorous, and never boring.
What Shen Linyue had thought would be a difficult high school textbook turned into a revelation after his explanation.
The two-hour tutoring session passed quickly, and apart from He Xiao, who frequently caused trouble and was restless, the lesson went quite well.
"Teacher, could I leave you my contact information? I can ask you questions if I have any questions," Shen Linyue said politely with a smile.
The young teacher nodded, took out his phone, and the two quickly added each other as WeChat friends.
Shen Linyue looked down at the other person's WeChat name: Li Yanxi.
"Is your WeChat name your real name?" Shen Linyue asked, slightly surprised.
Li Yanxi suddenly remembered something and scratched her head awkwardly: "I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Li, and my WeChat name is indeed my real name, just to make things easier, haha..."
Shen Linyue held her phone, pursed her lips, and smiled. It seemed she was being too sensitive.
Her surname is Li, not Chen. It seems she's being too sensitive... Hmm? Why would she think that? Shen Linyue snapped out of her daze in an instant.
"Thank you, let me see you off," Shen Linyue said.
Li Yanxi nodded, and as the two were about to leave, He Xiao, who had been dozing off at the table, made a commotion again. This time, he almost slipped off the table, making a piercing sound.
The two paused, turning around to look at He Xiao, who was standing by the table, looking around blankly.
Li Yanxi: "Why don't you go see your brother? I don't need to see you off."
Shen Linyue sighed and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Li. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Li Yanxi left quickly, leaving only Shen Linyue and He Xiao in the office.
He Xiao stretched and yawned, saying, "Is it finally over? Then I'm going back to rest."
Shen Linyue blocked his way, her small face upturned with a smile on her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You haven't finished the homework that Teacher Li assigned."
He Xiao, fully conscious, exclaimed in disbelief, "He's a tutor, and he assigns homework?!"
“Yes, if you get one wrong, you have to copy it five times.” Shen Linyue continued to smile.
He Xiao: "..."
"Teacher Li will also be checking. Oh, and He Liyu will be checking too."
He Xiao's forehead twitched, and he glared at her: "You didn't mess with me?"
Shen Linyue shrugged, looking like he didn't care whether he believed it or not: "Believe it or not, it's not me who got my allowance docked."
He Xiao was speechless again.
You win!
...
Half an hour had passed when I returned to the room.
Shen Linyue looked at what she had written on the desk and touched it with her hand.
Could it be that Chen Wensheng plotted to kill her in the future so that he could get a heart transplant for his grandson?
Shen Linyue thought for a moment, but couldn't remember anything more, so she searched for the name Chen Wensheng online.
As always, I can't find anything.
She could only give up for the time being and decided to ask He Liyu when he returned. Rather than investigating these vague things herself, it was better to ask He Liyu directly.
I just don't know how long I've been dead?
Shen Linyue took out her phone, looked at He Liyu's number, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed it.
However, the other end only showed a busy signal and could not be connected, so Shen Linyue had no choice but to give up and open the chat interface with He Liyu.
The last chat log was from the night before last. Shen Linyue rested her chin on her hand, hesitated for a moment, typed a few words, and then quickly deleted them.
Finally, with a sigh of regret, he decided to wait until they met to bring up these matters.
The days passed quickly, and Shen Linyue's first monthly exam after transferring schools arrived, while the program for next month's school anniversary performance was also finalized.
Just like in the original book, it's still about a prince and a princess.
This time, however, Jiang Zhixing didn't play the prince himself; instead, he tried to persuade He Xiao to take on the role.
"I'll act your mother's ass!" He Xiao refused without even thinking.
Jiang Zhixing maintained his composure and said, "The teacher wants you to act."
Just as the two were at an impasse, Shen Linyue timidly raised her hand: "I want to play the prince."
Haha, who would have thought that the actress playing the princess this time would be the female lead, Su Xiao?
