Coming to her senses, Chen Bing turned to look at Ma Shaolong and gave him a questioning look.
Ma Shaolong didn't say anything, but just smiled and handed the note to Chen Bing.
Upon taking the note and unfolding it, Chen Bing frowned slightly.
The characters are so distorted; they look like they're groaning. I can't quite understand them.
After careful examination, Chen Bing finally recognized the contents of the document.
Bring me lunch. Tell me if you need anything. Who is this?
Ma Shaolong? Probably not.
Before Chen Bing could voice her doubts, Ma Shaolong explained, "This was given to you by Liu Xiaoxiao from Class 1, Grade 7."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bing looked as if she had suddenly realized something.
Oh, it's Xiaoxiao. Come to think of it, it's been a month or two since I last contacted her.
The main reason is that after playing ball with her a year ago, I saw that her mother and she got along well. In addition, after starting junior high school, I had less free time, and she rarely communicated with me, so we naturally lost touch.
Back to the present, Chen Bing accepted the note and nodded in thanks.
However, Ma Shaolong did not leave immediately after handing over the note. Feeling uneasy, he casually asked Chen Bing, "By the way, Brother Bing, do you know Liu Xiaoxiao?"
"Yes, she's my sister."
Almost without any surprises, Chen Bing smoothly revealed her relationship with Liu Xiaoxiao, which made Ma Shaolong so happy he almost jumped for joy.
To confirm further, he suppressed his excitement and continued to ask Chen Bing, "Cousin?"
"Yes, cousin."
"Oh, I see."
Ma Shaolong nodded, asked no more questions, and turned to leave with cheerful steps.
As if to match his cheerful mood, just then, the melodious school bell rang.
Xiao Ma's departure did not attract Chen Bing's attention. While thinking about Liu Xiaoxiao, he turned around and gently patted Shang Yunmiao's shoulder.
"He's gone."
"oh oh……"
Comrade Xiao Shang pursed his lips and gently leaned closer to Chen Bing, listening to him continue explaining the problem.
Now, Chen Bing usually switches seats with Wen Xin during self-study, music, and art classes. So, although he and Shang Yunmiao are not officially deskmates, they are in fact deskmates.
After the math problem was explained, Chen Bing took out her cup from the desk drawer, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down half of it.
"Chen Bing".
"Um?"
"You have a cousin in seventh grade, huh?" Shang Yunmiao had overheard Ma Shaolong and Chen Bing's conversation clearly, and she had also glimpsed most of what was written on the note.
So, she now roughly knows what's going on.
After wiping the water from the corner of her mouth, Chen Bing looked at Shang Yunmiao beside her unhurriedly and replied casually, "Oh, didn't I tell you before?"
"I've never heard you mention that."
"Oh, maybe we just didn't run into her... By the way, when we were very young, around kindergarten? We met her while playing outside. I even took her to my house back then, do you remember?"
Shang Yunmiao tried hard to recall.
"It was that time, in the park."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yunmiao suddenly remembered. Wasn't Chen Bing's cousin the little girl who looked like a boy? She had even thought Chen Bing was kidnapping a child and had been worried for quite a while.
"Is it that girl with short hair who looks like a boy?"
Chen Bing thought about it, and it seemed that was exactly how it happened. So he nodded and answered yes.
Hearing Chen Bing's affirmative answer and recalling the other party's vague appearance, Shang Yunmiao was no longer worried.
Because, in her memory, Chen Bing's cousin was a girl with short hair, dressed in a very androgynous style, like a tomboy. Although it's a bit inappropriate to say it like that, Chen Bing liked girls like herself, with long hair, gentle, cute, and well-behaved (Chen Bing's own words).
Therefore, there's no need to worry too much about orthopedic issues. After all, I've read online that many perverted boys like their blood-related sisters.
My God, that's insane.
Relieved, Shang Yunmiao chatted with Chen Bing for a while longer, and then, accompanied by various school bells, the two went to class, left get out of class, went home, slept, and woke up together...
...
"Would you like to get another cup of peanut milk? It's really delicious."
The next morning, on my way to school.
When Chen Bing was buying breakfast for Liu Xiaoxiao by the roadside, Shang Yunmiao enthusiastically recommended it to him.
Maintaining good relations with Chen Bing's relatives is always a good idea.
"Sure, no problem."
Shang Yunmiao smiled faintly, then turned to the auntie selling peanut milk and said, "Auntie, I want three cups of peanut milk, please pick the hot ones for me."
"Alright, alright, little girl, you're so pretty. Auntie will pick out something warm for you."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
After reluctantly turning her gaze away from Shang Yunmiao, Chen Bing took the breakfast she had brought for Liu Xiaoxiao from another shopkeeper, and then led Shang Yunmiao on their way back to the school.
Speaking of which, although I obtained the privilege of "being late or leaving early" from Shang Zhengxin around this time last year, it was obviously limited to winter.
On days like late September, when the weather is crisp and clear in the mornings and evenings, they would obviously no longer be allowed to do so.
Back to the present, after leaving the breakfast street, the number of people on the road decreased, and Chen Bing drove his electric car a little faster accordingly.
The morning breeze gently caressed their ears, and the warm sunlight softly bathed them.
While Chen Bing was driving the electric car attentively, Shang Yunmiao, sitting in the back seat, looked at the peanut milk in her hand and couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
The milk will get cold if we wait any longer. With that thought, she took out one of the peanut milk cups, took out the straw, and poked it in.
After taking a small sip of the sweet and savory peanut milk, Xiao Shang smiled and looked very happy.
Taking advantage of the car stopping at the traffic light, Shang Yunmiao wanted Chen Bing to taste the peanut milk.
So she held up the cup, brought the straw to Chen Bing's lips, and said, "Chen Bing, have a taste."
Why wouldn't you eat something that's offered to you?
Without any hesitation, Chen Bing opened her mouth and bit the straw, then took a big slurp.
"How about it?"
"It's a little sweet."
"It's just right."
Xiao Shang thought to herself, "How can it be sweet? It's just right!" Feeling indignant, she took another small sip. But this time, whether it was psychological or something else, it actually tasted a little sweet.
So what should we do?
The clever student immediately came up with a solution.
According to what we learn in biology textbooks, human saliva contains salivary amylase, which can break down sugars. So, as long as you put peanut milk in your mouth, its sweetness will decrease after a short time!
(P.S.: Salivary amylase can only break down starch into maltose, not lactose, galactose, glucose, etc... Xiao Shang's idea is invalid.)
In other words, if you just hold the peanut milk in your mouth for a while before feeding it to Chen Bing, the sweetness will be just right...
No, no, how could this be?
