"Uh...ah? No, well...I'm sorry, please don't cry. Did I do something to upset you? Shang Yunmiao? Yunmiao? Miaomiao?"
Caught off guard by the little girl's tears, Chen Bing quickly stepped forward to comfort her, using all sorts of sweet words and affectionate nicknames until Shang Yunmiao finally stopped crying.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Chen Bing... I cried again..."
Chen Bing didn't dare to say anything more, his mind was filled with thoughts of his own fault for making the girl cry.
"It's okay, it's okay, I was wrong too." Chen Bing held Shang Yunmiao's head with one hand and gently patted her back with the other, embracing the frail girl in his arms, sincerely admitting his mistake.
"Then, please don't say things like that again, okay, Chen Bing..." After being comforted, Shang Yunmiao raised her big, watery eyes and stared at Chen Bing as she said this.
"Okay, okay, I won't say such things again next time."
I'll never say that phrase again. Can someone explain it to me?
As a straight man, Chen Bing sometimes genuinely couldn't understand what girls were thinking. Fortunately, after saying that, Shang Yunmiao added, "Well, because we're the best of friends, what's mine is yours. I thought you didn't want to be my best friend anymore..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bing finally understood Shang Yunmiao's thoughts. She immediately offered many words of comfort and reassurance.
After comforting them, the two little ones led their bicycles to the apartment building.
"Okay, Chen Bing, I've helped you hold the car steady. Come on up!" Xiao Shang said to Chen Bing, her hands on the back seat and her big, red eyes.
"Okay, I'm coming."
Just before getting on the bike, Chen Bing suddenly fell into deep thought. Wait a minute, something's not right. Why would I ride a bicycle? I'm not a child anymore. What's so great about riding a bicycle?
However, although that's the logic, given that he had just made Shang Yunmiao cry and that the little girl was now happily helping him hold the bike, he had no choice but to ride it now.
With mixed feelings, Chen Bing pushed off with her calf and easily rode away on her bicycle, drawing repeated praises from Shang Yunmiao behind her.
Amidst the praise, Chen Bing circled the small open space in front of the apartment building twice before riding back to Shang Yunmiao.
"Chen Bing, you're so amazing! (。＾▽＾)"
"It's alright, it's alright. Do you want to learn? I can teach you."
Shang Yunmiao visibly struggled with the decision, but after a moment she shook her head in refusal.
"Really?" Chen Bing nodded, then suggested, "How about you sit in the back and I'll give you a ride for a bit?"
This suggestion clearly did not violate the agreement with her parents, and Shang Yunmiao immediately agreed happily.
"Okay, sit properly." After watching Comrade Xiao Shang gather her skirt and sit quietly sideways on the back seat, Chen Bing said this loudly, then pulled her legs off the ground and vigorously pushed them onto the footrests.
After the initial swaying, the car quickly stabilized. At the same time, Shang Yunmiao's hand, which had been gripping Chen Bing's waist out of fear, gradually loosened, but then she quickly grabbed it back.
"Chen Bing is awesome!" Although Shang Yunmiao sat on the back of the electric scooter every day, a bicycle is a bicycle, and an electric scooter is an electric scooter. Besides, Chen Bing was the one riding in front! This feeling was completely different from riding on her mother's scooter!
Excited, Shang Yunmiao was led around the neighborhood by Chen Bing for a long time.
About ten or twenty minutes later, Chen Bing was so tired that the two of them put the car away and went back to Shang Yunmiao's house to rest.
"Chen Bing, here's some water." After taking the water glass from the other person, Chen Bing gulped it down in one go. Shang Yunmiao, who was standing next to him, didn't sit still after handing him the water. Instead, she took out a hard plastic fan with a gynecology advertisement printed on it and gently fanned him.
After resting for a few minutes, the sweat that had been dripping from Chen Bing's body from pedaling gradually dried.
"I'm sorry, Chen Bing, you must be exhausted."
It's best not to say these kinds of things to boys, because it can make competitive boys feel insulted.
Chen Bing then stubbornly denied it and went on to boast about what else she could do.
Although Shang Yunmiao didn't understand much about how much men cared about saving face, her keen senses allowed her to detect the weariness in his voice.
Chen Bing was so tired because he was carrying her on the bike, so Shang Yunmiao, who felt guilty and considerate, felt terrible.
After thinking for a while about what she could do to help Chen Bing, she squatted down next to the sofa where Chen Bing was sitting and then reached out her two small hands to massage Chen Bing's calves.
"Uh... what are you doing?"
Chen Bing, who was resting with a water glass in her hand, was stunned for a moment when she saw Shang Yunmiao's action.
“Mom massages Dad like this every time he finishes a heavy job.”
My goodness, everyone take a look! This is what it means to be the emperor of the family! This is what it means to have status in the family!
Although he was secretly pleased with himself, Chen Bing wasn't shameless enough to accept a six or seven-year-old girl's massage without feeling guilty. After massaging for a minute, he promptly and decisively declined Xiao Shang's offer of help—in a rather tactful way.
After hearing Chen Bing say that he was better, Shang Yunmiao obediently got up and sat down next to Chen Bing.
"Chen Bing, am I a good girl?"
This was the first time Chen Bing had heard such boastful words from Shang Yunmiao. He was slightly taken aback at first, then placed his hand on the girl's head.
"Good girl, very good girl."
"Hehe (●'?'●)" Xiao Shang laughed contentedly as she leaned her head closer to Chen Bing.
Such a cute girl is hard to find...
Chen Bing, lost in thought, couldn't resist pinching Shang Yunmiao's cheek again.
After the two lingered there for a while, the sound of a key unlocking the door came from outside.
Looking towards the sound, I saw that it was Teacher Yunxuan going home after get off work.
When the other person saw Chen Bing sitting on their sofa, they immediately smiled.
"Bingbing came over to play?"
"Aunt Xuan, you must be tired from work."
"Welcome home, Mom!"
Shang Yunmiao ran from the sofa to Yunxuan's feet, hugging her mother's leg as she spoke.
After putting her belongings on the cabinet next to her, Yunxuan picked up her daughter and sat back down on the sofa with her.
"Bingbing, did your dad's college entrance exam results come out today?" After putting her daughter down to sit, Yunxuan asked Chen Bing.
"Yes, it's out. 389 points should be enough."
"Oh, I see. Your dad is really amazing." Although Yunxuan didn't know much about adult college entrance exams, she knew that Chen Shichao had applied to Pengcheng University of Technology and Business, a very prestigious 211 university.
