Chapter 71 "It's unjust for you two not to get married!"
The meals we made in the evening were very simple and were on the table in about half an hour.
Qi Ying untied her apron and knocked on the study door, saying to the child who was still writing furiously inside, "Are you not done yet? It's time to eat."
"It's almost done, sister. We only need to finish half of the test paper to finish English." Xing Xiaochu looked up from the test paper and looked at her.
Qi Ying walked over and took a look. It was said to be half a test paper, but there were actually quite a few questions densely packed on it, and there was even a long essay to be written. And seeing that Xing Xiaochu was reluctant to move, it seemed that he planned to finish writing before eating.
"Don't write anymore." Qi Ying took away her pen and said, "Eat first, then do your homework."
Xing Xiaochu looked at his test paper, nodded, stood up, and walked out of the study with Qi Ying.
While eating, the TV was playing international news in English. Qi Ying listened haltingly, and found it funny to see Xing Xiaochu concentrating on eating and occasionally glancing at the subtitles.
"Why are you working so hard today?" Qi Ying put a piece of meat in Xing Xiaochu's bowl and asked her, "I've never seen you work so hard before."
Xing Xiaochu swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "The midterm exam is next week." She poked the rice in her bowl with chopsticks and said, "The teacher said that if I don't do well in the exam, I will call my parents."
Qi Ying laughed and said, "Go ahead and find me. Even if you fail the exam, I won't hit you."
Having said that, Xing Xiaochu is a student after all. She can't forget her roots just because she falls in love. She still has to study hard.
"I've missed a lot of classes recently." Xing Xiaochu said to Qi Ying, "I took a lot of leave recently, so I didn't make up for a lot of classes. Xin Ya said she would come to our house to make up for me on the weekend. Sister, do you think it's okay?"
"Of course." Qi Ying said with a smile, "I'll treat you to delicious food then."
"Thank you, sister." Xing Xiaochu smiled happily, took a piece of meat and put it in Qi Ying's bowl, smiling with curved eyebrows: "Sister, eat more, I'm full, I'm going to do my homework."
"I haven't finished eating yet."
"I've almost finished eating. If I eat too much, my brain won't work properly."
Xing Xiaochu put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to the study. Qi Ying looked at the child who was working so hard and blinked awkwardly.
Xing Xiaochu was so serious about doing her homework that she locked herself in the study room for three hours without coming out. Qi Ying took the opportunity to take some fruit in and saw that after finishing the English test, she changed to a math test paper. The draft paper was full of formulas, which made Qi Ying dare not say a word.
Go in quietly and come out quietly.
For the first time, I felt that being a parent of a candidate is not easy.
At 10:30 in the evening, Qi Ying came out of the shower and found that a hard-working student had not returned to the bedroom yet. Looking at the empty bed, Qi Ying crossed her arms and felt a little unhappy.
She knocked on the study door and walked in, and saw Xing Xiaochu still doing the test paper.
“That’s about the same, right?”
Qi Ying saw that the child only ate a small half of the fruit he brought in and hardly drank any milk, but did a lot of test papers.
Those who know know that there will be a midterm exam next week, while those who don’t know think that the college entrance examination will be tomorrow.
Xing Xiaochu was thinking about the last math problem. She had wasted two drafts but still had no idea. She looked up at Qi Ying with a bit of confusion and asked her, "Sister, do you know how to solve this problem?"
Qi Ying didn't even need to look, she definitely wouldn't do that.
With a click, Qi Ying turned off the eye protection lamp on the desk and said to Xing Xiaochu, "It's late, you should go to bed, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."
"But……"
"It doesn't matter if you don't know the last question. Just ask your classmates or teachers tomorrow."
Qi Ying rubbed Xing Xiaochu's head and said, "Go take a shower and go to bed."
Xing Xiaochu glanced at the time and felt that it was a bit late, so she nodded: "Okay, sister."
I packed my textbooks and went to the bathroom to wash up. By the time I came out after blow-drying my hair, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.
The bedroom was filled with dim tones with only one light on. Qi Ying was leaning against the bed and playing with her phone. Next to her was an empty space with bedding already laid out. The temperature had dropped sharply in the past few days, and a thin blanket was not enough to keep warm, so today there was an extra blanket on the bed, which looked new.
Xing Xiaochu sat on the edge of the bed, took off his shoes and crawled into the bed. When he got into the bed, he touched the blanket with his hand and found that it was warm where he was.
"I turned on the electric blanket for you, so your feet won't be cold when you sleep at night." Qi Ying put down the things in his hands and said to Xing Xiaochu, "Come in quickly, you've put out all the heat."
"Oh." Xing Xiaochu quickly got into the bed, but was hugged by the person next to him the next second.
Qi Ying's body was warm, and felt like a heater when he leaned against her.
"Have a good rest." Qi Ying hugged Xing Xiaochu's waist, buried his head in the back of her neck and smelled the fresh scent of osmanthus, and said lightly: "You, no matter how you do in the exam, I will not despise you, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Xing Xiaochu clutched the quilt, blinked, and said "hmm" softly, then turned around, hugged Qi Ying, and closed his eyes.
"Good night, sister."
"Good night, Xiaochu."
***
On the weekend, Xin Ya and Chen Dongdong came to the door with their homework, and Qi Ying invited them in.
Xing Xiaochu was wearing a goose yellow plush pajamas and was holding Guazi to cut his nails. The half-grown kitten was very naughty. The curtains were torn into strips and even the sofa was used as a scratching board. He became very fussy.
As soon as Chen Dongdong saw the kitten, he couldn't walk anymore. He jumped to Xing Xiaochu, touched the little guy's head, and watched Xing Xiaochu cut its nails.
Xin Ya greeted Qi Ying politely: "Good morning, Sister Qi Ying, we are here to find Xiao Chu to do homework."
"Yes, she told me." Qi Ying smiled and said to Xin Ya, "I'm going out in a while. You three can order takeout for lunch. Order whatever you like. I'll reimburse you later."
"Okay, thank you, sis."
"You're welcome."
Before leaving, Qi Ying gave the three children a few more instructions, then changed her clothes and went out.
Chen Dongdong sat on the sofa holding the cat. She nudged Xing Xiaochu next to her with her shoulder, raised her chin slightly and said, "Sister cares about you so much. She's afraid that we two will eat you up."
Xing Xiaochu blushed and said, "No way, don't talk nonsense."
"You must know whether I said anything wrong or not." Chen Dongdong chuckled: "Tell me, how far have you and Sister Qi Ying gotten now?"
"……No."
Seeing that Chen Dongdong was about to ask more questions, Xin Ya pinched the flesh on her waist and said, "Why are you so gossipy? You still want to ask about the affairs of young couples? Aren't you ashamed?"
Chen Dongdong pouted and said, "I've never been in a relationship before, so I'm curious about what it's like to be in a relationship."
Xinya said: "Isn't dating just like in TV dramas? Eating, shopping, talking and chatting."
"That's so boring, Xiaochu, are you and your sister like this too?"
"...More or less." Xing Xiaochu said awkwardly, "We two rarely go shopping. We basically stay at home and go out for dinner occasionally."
"That sounds good." Chen Dongdong asked curiously, "Xiaochu, your sister is so good to you, so are you going to marry her in the future?"
Xing Xiaochu was stunned by the question. She thought for a long time before saying, "If my sister doesn't mind, I should marry her."
Xin Ya smiled and said, "Sister Qi Ying wouldn't mind. I think she really likes you."
Chen Dongdong also agreed: "Yes, yes, you two are so cute when you meet each other, it will be unjust if you two don't get married!"
Xing Xiaochu felt embarrassed by the two people's comments. She scratched her red cheeks and quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go get something to eat. I bought a lot of fruits in the refrigerator yesterday. Let's eat them together while doing homework."
"OK!"
Qi Ying exited the game and quickly came to the store. There was almost no business in the store on weekdays, with less than two people coming in a day. There were more customers on weekends, but not many.
In the morning, Qi Ying communicated with the customer on the phone about the pattern and small details of the clothes, and reluctantly made a template for the other party.
Generally speaking, it takes several months to design a winter coat, and the adjustment of the pattern and details requires many rounds of coordination. Fortunately, people in this industry are very patient, and Qi Ying is also very meticulous in her work, so every piece of clothing is very popular.
After finishing the docking, Qi Ying started to walk around the mannequin again. By the time she had time to react, it was already noon.
Qi Ying then remembered that it was time to check whether the three children had eaten at home.
As soon as the surveillance camera was turned on, Qi Ying saw three children sitting around the table in the dining room, doing their homework seriously. Perhaps the study room was not big enough for three people to do their homework together, so they cleaned up the dining table. Half of the table was filled with various fruits and takeaways, and the other half was filled with homework books.
At this moment, Chen Dongdong was chewing a chicken drumstick in one hand, and writing an essay with the other hand. Xin Ya and Xing Xiaochu were obedient and did not eat while doing their homework. At most, they put two cups of milk tea next to them.
Qi Ying looked at the table full of takeout, not to mention the fried chicken, burgers and French fries, there were also half-eaten fruits and cakes.
After eating so many snacks, do you still have room for lunch?
Qi Ying originally wanted to call and ask, but after thinking about it carefully, she also loved to eat these junk foods when she was in school. It’s okay to eat them occasionally. She is a big kid now and will definitely find something to eat by herself when she is hungry.
She doesn't have to urge people to eat like an old maid.
Qi Ying took a look and felt that the children were in good condition, so he exited the surveillance screen and prepared to order takeout for himself.
'jingle--'
"Aying~"
Along with the doorbell rang Xia Ruoxin's drawling voice. Qi Ying now got a headache whenever he heard her calling his name.
When I looked up, I saw Xia Ruoxin standing at the door in fancy clothes. He took off his sunglasses and hung them on his chest. He walked in with a swagger and put the things in his hand on the table: "Look, what delicious food I brought you."
Apart from anything else, Xia Ruoxin is very good at eating. She knows exactly where the delicious food is in the streets and alleys.
Qi Ying glanced at the bag and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you go on a trip abroad? Why are you back so soon?"
"We didn't go abroad, we just wandered around." Xia Ruoxin said while spinning around in a chair, "We went to the beach and took a cruise, but we didn't think it was interesting so we came back early."
Qi Ying opened the package and saw that it was a Western pastry that looked expensive, and also some bread, which was just right for her lunch.
Just as Qi Ying was unwrapping one of the loaves of bread, Xia Ruoxin said, "Hey, Ying, have you been to the new restaurant near the Glass Sea recently?"
Xia Ruoxin propped up her chin and said to Qi Ying: "I seemed to have seen you over there some time ago."
