Upon hearing this suggestion, Chen Bing naturally blushed and refused. Needing his mother's help to date was just too lame. Besides, he wasn't a spoiled brat; he could date his own wife on his own.
After chatting for a while longer, and repeatedly declaring his sincere and unwavering feelings for Xiao Shang, Xiong Xiaogui Chen Bing, blushing, fled back to his room as if escaping.
Even after he left, his parents continued to discuss the matter.
"Are you relieved now?" After Chen Bing left, Chen Shichao slowly approached Liu Yue and asked with a grin.
"What?" Judging from Liu Yue's mother's expression, she was indeed much relieved, but she was still worried. "Before marriage, you never know. Maybe one day someone will suddenly appear and steal your love."
After saying that, she murmured to herself, "I'm worried about the two of them, so I still need to help them secretly. After the pandemic is over, I'll take the two kids out to play by myself."
Hearing his wife's words, Chen Shichao was very unhappy. This old man, almost forty years old, was actually acting like a spoiled child and getting jealous.
"Hmph~ When we were together before, no one ever helped me like this."
Liu Yue, who was being held in Chen Shichao's arms without realizing it, felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this.
Yes, Shichao grew up in an orphanage and never experienced the warmth of a family. Seeing how much his mother cares for his son now must be very painful for him.
Thinking of this, Liu Yue put her hand on Chen Shichao's shoulder and said gently, "I'm sorry, Mom forgot about you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shichao's heart stirred, and the idea of taking advantage of the situation immediately came to mind.
This restaurant tycoon, who recently surpassed a small milestone in assets and successfully became the richest man in Shangping County, continues to portray himself as weak, pitiful, and helpless...
The following day, Saturday.
At this time of year, the early spring weekend weather is perfect, with the flowering bushes scattering dappled patterns of color. On this ideal time for sleeping in, a handsome guy in sportswear is jogging along the neighborhood paths.
As everyone can imagine, besides Chen Bing herself, who else could be called a handsome guy?
After running one lap, two laps, and as always, completing the fifth lap, Chen Bing returned home, panting heavily.
After taking a refreshing shower, he glanced at the time.
It's 7:17 AM, a little over an hour before the first online exam starts. What should I do during this long time?
There's no need for review; it's just a simple junior high school test. Chen Bing could get a perfect score with her eyes closed.
He's currently more inclined to make a video call to his classmate Shang Yunmiao.
Hmm? No, I didn't want to see her, I just wanted to wake her up.
Without hesitation, Chen Bing picked up her phone and made a video call to the cute cat avatar.
Five seconds, then ten seconds passed. There was no response from Shang Yunmiao.
What's wrong? Is your phone not here, or are you sleeping too soundly to hear me?
Just as I finished thinking that, a crisp ringtone sounded, and the video call was connected.
Chen Bing immediately smiled, but just as she was about to greet the girl on the screen, she noticed something was amiss.
Although the person on the screen looks a lot like Xiao Shang, she is not Xiao Shang.
Good morning, Aunt Xuan.
The "Little Merchant" that was about to slip into her mouth turned into "Aunt Xuan," and Chen Bing greeted her with a forced, calm smile.
"Good morning, Bingbing. Yunmiao went downstairs to wash up. I'll go get your phone for her."
"No, no, Aunt Xuan. I called to check if she's awake."
Chen Bing was too embarrassed to ask Yun Xuan for such a favor, so she quickly stopped her and said something like, "Let Shang Yunmiao focus on her studies."
Teacher Yun didn't insist, and just started chatting with Chen Bing.
The content was nothing more than the upcoming exam, recent life, and what Chen Bing's parents were doing now.
After chatting briefly, Chen Bing said goodbye, and the two hung up the phone.
The "goodbye" here is not just a polite formality, but means goodbye as it literally means.
Because it wouldn't be long before Chen Bing could see Yun Xuan on her phone screen again. After all, the first online exam was Chinese, and as the Chinese teacher, Yun Xuan would be proctoring the exam with all the students using their webcams.
It was a pity that Chen Bing didn't see Xiao Shang's face or hear her sweetly call her name, but she quickly composed herself and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
For some reason, Chaozi and Xiaoyue are still not up at this hour.
Chen Bing could only grab something to eat to fill her stomach before returning to her room to retrieve the pre-printed answer sheets and other materials.
At around 8:25, the Chinese language test paper was sent out in the DingTalk group, and Chen Bing printed it out immediately.
This really shows the benefits of being rich.
In one home, there's always a printer in the small bedroom. Any information found online or in groups, or anything else that needs printing, can be easily obtained.
I remember during the pandemic years in my past life, there was always a ton of stuff to print before the start of each school term. We didn't have a printer at home, so I had to go to town every time before school started, squeezed into crowds of people waiting to print, which was a huge waste of time.
Snapping out of her reverie about money, Chen Bing casually accepted a multi-person meeting invitation in the group chat, and immediately saw the faces of her classmates, some sleepy and some energetic.
"Ma Shaolong, don't change the background randomly."
Among this dazzling array of large headshots, only Ma Shaolong's spirited appearance while piloting an airplane is truly eye-catching.
Other students who had come in and hadn't turned off their microphones immediately burst out laughing when they saw this.
"Haha, okay, teacher, I forgot to turn it off." After scratching his head and apologizing to Yun Xuan, Ma Shaolong, realizing his mistake, immediately turned off his background and microphone.
"Are there any students who haven't come in yet? Those who have come in, please turn on your cameras and turn off your microphones. Our first Chinese exam is about to begin. During the exam, please do not leave the camera's field of view, do not cheat, and answer carefully on the printed answer sheet. If you don't have an answer sheet, please answer according to the format that was distributed before."
This is a serious monthly exam, so please take it seriously.
After saying those words, Yunxuan turned off her microphone and went about her business with her head down. She would only occasionally look up to see if anyone seemed to be doing anything unusual.
