After the third period in the afternoon, Chen Bing asked Shang Yunmiao to wait in the classroom for a while, and then went upstairs alone to find Class 1 of Grade 7.
Although less than ten minutes had passed since school ended, it was the eve of National Day, and people were restless. A few minutes before the official bell rang, most classes had already slipped away.
Therefore, Chen Bing did not encounter any crowds along the way, and apart from a few scattered people, he arrived at the entrance of Class 1, Grade 7 without any problems.
Looking into the classroom, there were only about ten people in total, and Liu Xiaoxiao was sitting in a seat by the window, her head down, writing something.
Following the example of what the other person did that morning, Chen Bing gently knocked on the glass outside the classroom, causing everyone inside to turn around and look.
Chen Bing is a guy who has some standing at Baishi No.1 Middle School, even among the first-year students who have only been enrolled for a month.
First, he spoke on stage at the commendation meeting; then, his handsome appearance inevitably attracted attention; and finally, teachers from all subjects often mentioned that there was a genius named Chen Bing in the eighth grade, who was first in the county and got full marks in all subjects.
With such an impressive resume, even though Chen Laoda rarely leaves the classroom, most people still recognize him.
Upon seeing such a famous person appear outside the classroom, the students inside were immediately seized by gossip.
Especially when they saw their class monitor pick up his backpack, get up, and leave side by side with the other person, their gossipy nature was aroused even more.
People were discussing it animatedly, and all sorts of opinions emerged.
On the other hand, Chen Bing, who had picked up Liu Xiaoxiao, didn't have so many thoughts. He handed her a drink he had bought at noon while telling her what he hadn't finished talking about that morning.
"I left in a hurry this morning, and there's one more thing I didn't have time to tell you: another girl will be coming home with me to stay for a few days."
"The one who always wears a low ponytail?"
There are plenty of girls who wear their hair in a low ponytail, but since Liu Xiaoxiao said that, she obviously knows Shang Yunmiao.
"Yes, that's the one who's really pretty. She's my neighbor, we've known each other for over ten years, we're very close, and my mom often invites her to stay at our house."
"I know him. He was the one with you when I first saw you in the park when we were kids," Liu Xiaoxiao said casually, as if she knew him inside and out.
Chen Bing was genuinely surprised to hear this. Liu Xiaoxiao was a year younger than Shang Yunmiao back then, so she remembered? Even a smart child like Shang Yunmiao needed prompting to recall, how could this little girl Liu Xiaoxiao remember so well?
As Chen Bing reflected on her feelings, she didn't realize that for Shang Yunmiao, their meeting that year was just a slightly special day. But for Liu Xiaoxiao, it was much more than just slightly special...
Since Liu Xiaoxiao also remembered Shang Yunmiao, Chen Bing didn't need to waste any more words. After chatting casually with Liu Xiaoxiao for a while, the two quickly returned to the gate of Class 1, Grade 8. After calling Shang Yunmiao over, the three of them walked out of the school in a triangular formation.
Liu Yue's striking appearance immediately caught the eye of the three people waiting at the school gate. Similarly, the three of them spotted Liu Yue, who was waiting to pick them up, at a glance.
Little Shang took the lead, running a few steps to meet Liu Yue in her arms. After sweetly calling out "Mom!" and exchanging greetings, the two parted ways.
After letting go of the adorable Shang Yunmiao, Liu Yue immediately went over and hugged Liu Xiaoxiao, asking her a few questions about her life. Liu Xiaoxiao responded warmly to her aunt, calling out "Auntie" in her melodious voice. After a brief moment of tenderness, the two quickly separated.
Just when Chen Bing thought the greetings were over and he could take a car home, his sister Yue took him by surprise with her actions.
"Going to school must be tough, my dear Bingbing. Mommy misses you so much."
Chen Bing, who always prided himself on being a mature adult, couldn't stand this kind of romantic interaction. Faced with his mother's sudden and heartwarming hug, he first blushed and looked around. After noticing that many classmates, both familiar and unfamiliar, were looking in his direction, he suppressed his shyness, hugged his sister Yue in return, and stammered, "Oh, oh... Sister Yue, I also, uh... missed you."
After letting go of her son, Liu Yue opened the car door and gestured for the three children to sit in the back seat.
What? Why are you all sitting in the back? Don't you find it cramped?
Liu Yue's mother is very safety-conscious. How could three minors sit in the front passenger seat? There's plenty of room in the back.
And so, the two girls went in first, followed by Chen Bing, and the three of them squeezed in together to get into the car.
These days, it's quite eye-catching if parents drive luxury cars to pick up their children from a small-town junior high school of this caliber.
Over the past year, the students in Class 1 of Grade 8 had seen Chen Bing's parents pick him up from Shang Yunmiao more or less, so they were used to it.
The few classmates of Liu Xiaoxiao were a little surprised. Although Liu Xiaoxiao's family was well-off and she usually drove a small Audi, Su Ying was lazy and would definitely not drive unless it was raining or snowing.
Therefore, they judged Liu Xiaoxiao's family to be well-off based solely on her clothing, but never imagined she would be this rich.
Back in the departing BMW 3 Series, Liu Yue was chatting enthusiastically with the three children.
From tonight's all-you-can-eat barbecue dinner to the National Day holiday travel plans, from what movie to watch tonight to going shopping tomorrow, from the gifts she bought for them at noon to the styles of clothes, she chatted on and on until she suddenly remembered that her son was still behind her.
So, snapping out of the three women's happy holiday dream, Liu Yue began to care about Chen Bing's life. For example, whether she had enough money, if she had any worries, and if there was a girl in her class she was interested in…
Sorry, there isn't one for the last one.
In short, we had a very enthusiastic chat.
While Liu Yue and Chen Bing were chatting, Shang Yunmiao also had her first conversation with Liu Xiaoxiao.
It was Liu Xiaoxiao who started the conversation first. She turned her small face to the side and asked Shang Yunmiao, "What's your name?"
"Shang Yunmiao, the Shang of Xia, Shang, and Zhou..." Shang Yunmiao originally wanted to add the source of Yunmiao in the Song Dynasty poetry, but after thinking about it, she felt that Liu Xiaoxiao might not know it even if she said it. Speaking out of the blue would seem a bit like showing off, so she stopped herself from saying anything more.
"Um... I often see you at school, with... my brother."
Leaving aside the others, Liu Yue was immediately drawn to Liu Xiaoxiao's words. She slowly stopped talking, pricked up her ears, and was eager to hear her niece's evaluation of her children.
