Imagining that the soft pillow was Chen Bing, Shang Yunmiao didn't know how she felt. She whimpered and crawled into the quilt, and finally fell asleep after a long time.
In Chen Bing's room, just a wall away, the boy, harboring similar feelings, finally fell asleep after an unknown amount of time. As for what stories awaited him in his dreams, he couldn't remember them when he woke up the next day.
She only vaguely remembered the gentle sound of the wind, the warm sunshine, and the faint scent of her classmate, Xiao Shang, in her dream. Around eight o'clock the next morning, Chen Bing woke up from her deep sleep.
Although she stayed up very late yesterday, Chen Bing woke up relatively early because of her long-standing lifestyle.
Stretching wearily, he sleepily made his way to the small bathroom in his bedroom, and after washing up and feeling a bit more refreshed, he left the bedroom.
As soon as he stepped out of his bedroom, he saw Yunxuan standing in front of his bedroom door, ready to knock.
Upon seeing her, Aunt Xuan's eyes clearly flashed with shock. However, she quickly calmed down and explained, "I thought this was Yunmiao's room, but it turns out it's yours, Bingbing."
After listening to Yunxuan's explanation, Chen Bing realized what was going on and pointed out the location of Xiao Shang's room—next to his own.
Watching the other person turn and leave to wake Shang Yunmiao, Chen Bing suddenly thought of a possibility.
Aunt Xuan didn't think I went to Shang Yunmiao's room to sleep, did she?
After hesitating for a while, Chen Bing, feeling guilty, went downstairs and followed the aroma of food to the kitchen, intending to fill her guilty conscience by enjoying the delicious food.
On the other side, Yunxuan was slightly angry when she opened the door and saw her daughter still sleeping.
After all, what kind of behavior is it to sleep so late in someone else's house? Even if we become family in the future, we can't do this, let alone now that we're practically strangers.
Yunxuan immediately stepped forward and patted her daughter's bottom.
"Get up! Don't sleep anymore."
As her mother gently patted her, Shang Yunmiao groggily opened her eyes from her sleep.
"Hmm~ Mom?"
"Get up quickly, it's almost nine o'clock. What kind of behavior is it to sleep so late? Won't your mother laugh at you? She'll say you're a lazy girl."
Hearing her mother's lecture, Shang Yunmiao instantly broke free from the winter quilt's seal and forced herself to leave the room to wash up.
I am very diligent, I am very diligent, I am very diligent...
After smiling gently at her daughter's departing figure, Yunxuan thought she should tidy up the bed for her. Folding the blankets and such would make it look neater.
Thinking this, Yunxuan grabbed the blanket with both hands and then suddenly lifted it off.
Just then, a pillow hidden under the blanket suddenly fell out.
After folding the quilt and placing it at the foot of the bed, Yunxuan bent down to pick up the khaki pillow, then held it in her hand and glanced at the two pink pillows on the bed.
Is this pillow...from here?
Color: Grayish Blue
Style: Solid color
Size: Slightly larger than the two on the bed in front of me...
...
After washing up, Shang Yunmiao, with her hair tied in a neat high ponytail, came to the kitchen full of energy to help.
I remember when I first started junior high school, after hearing Chen Bing praise my mother's braised eggplant with meat, Shang Yunmiao had the idea of learning to cook.
Now, after one-fifth of her years of learning, although she is not yet a qualified little cook, she can easily cook two simple home-style dishes and help the adults.
However, how could Liu Yue really ask her for help? After coaxing her a few times, Shang Yunmiao was ushered to the dining table to have breakfast with Chen Bing.
Good morning.
"Good morning~ Where are Dad and the others?"
"Oh, I went to the garage to check on the cars."
After tilting her head in confusion, Shang Yunmiao stopped paying attention to her two fathers and instead moved closer to Chen Bing, where the two chatted and ate breakfast together.
Soon after, Yunxuan went to the kitchen to continue preparing breakfast with Liuyue. However, compared to before, she felt a little uneasy after seeing the pillow in her daughter's room.
After much agonizing, she simply pretended not to have seen anything and eventually forgot about the pillow.
A lovely winter morning unfolded warmly amidst this little incident. Around nine o'clock, Shang Zhengxin and Chen Shichao left for work one after the other. After showing Yunxuan around their home, Liu Yue also took the two children out for a stroll.
The day was uneventful, with nothing particularly noteworthy except for the festive atmosphere brought to the small county town by the approaching Spring Festival.
While the three ladies were shopping and trying on clothes, Chen Bing sat on a bench provided by the shopping mall and quietly picked up her phone to look at the class group chat.
With the widespread use of mobile devices, the concept of class groups has gradually become popular in primary and secondary schools. Although in big cities, this thing existed as early as 2017, 2016, or even 2015 and 2014, in small counties like Shangping, most 12 or 13-year-old junior high school students have only just gotten an old mobile phone that their parents discarded.
Despite the old devices and their lag, it doesn't dampen people's enthusiasm for using their phones.
At this very moment, the class group chat exploded with discussion about the final exam results.
Ma Shaolong: I heard from my homeroom teacher that the final grades are out. We'll see them when we pick up our report cards on Friday!
Cai Shichen: You did very well on the exam, why are you so excited?
Hearing the sarcastic response, Ma Shaolong was immediately displeased. After a semester of hard work, he had managed to bring at least most of the boys in the class under his control, if not the entire class.
Now he has become the leader of the boys in the class. Apart from a few who always like to go against him, who in the class doesn't give him some face? Ma Shaolong felt that he already had a lot of prestige, so when he saw Cai Shichen's reply, he immediately replied without any politeness.
Ma Shaolong: I should be a bit stronger than you.
Tsai Shih-chen: How come someone so amazing got first place in the retake exam? (speechless.jpg)
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Zhang Xinyu, as the class monitor, quickly stepped forward and said a few words to ease the situation.
Zhang Xinyu: What do I need to bring when I go to pick up my report card?
Seeing that Xinyu seemed confused, Ma Shaolong immediately put down Cai Shichen, who was acting like a clown, and enthusiastically introduced them to each other.
