"Ah, that..."
"Is it because you went fishing with Dad? By the way, you caught a fish! That's amazing. Dad has never caught anything when he went fishing by himself before."
"Hmm...it's alright." After hesitating for a while, Chen Bing still didn't reveal the fact that the big fish was actually bought at the seafood market, just to save face for Uncle Shang.
"Well, let's not talk about that anymore. Come and sit down, quick, quick." Shang Yunmiao took the initiative to change the subject, pulled Chen Bing's wrist and sat her down on her bed, then patted the seat next to her and said this to Chen Bing.
Gentlemen, please don't misunderstand. Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao just had some things to talk about. Sitting on the bed doesn't mean they're up to no good.
After Xiao Shang sat down, Chen Bing followed closely behind and sat down next to her, saying, "Uncle Shang took me out today to talk to me about things between you and me."
"Huh? Then, what did he say?" Xiao Shang looked nervous, but after seeing Chen Bing's relaxed and carefree expression, she relaxed a little.
It turns out that Chen Bing wasn't the only one who noticed the strange behavior of Shang's parents this morning. Shang Yunmiao thought about it more and more afterward and, recalling her mother's sudden heart-to-heart talk with her the day before yesterday, she suddenly realized that Chen Bing might also have been called in for a talk by her father.
Realizing this, a worried Shang Yunmiao immediately used her phone to tell Chen Bing about her experiences from the past two days and her own speculations. However, by then, Shang Zhengxin's conversation with Chen Bing had already ended.
Fortunately, there were no major problems.
Feeling relaxed, and busy picking out fish with Mr. Tai at the market, Chen Bing simply replied with "I understand" and "Don't worry" and that was it.
And then, here's the current situation.
After carefully recounting her conversation with Shang Zhengxin to Shang Yunmiao, the young girl gradually felt relieved.
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. I was worried that Dad would say something strange to you, but it turns out it's just this." After knowing that there was no problem, Shang Yunmiao's expression was happier than anyone else's. She stood up, patted her clothes, and prepared to sit back down at her desk to study.
"Oh, I just got back. Why don't you sit with me for a while longer?"
Seeing that Xiao Shang seemed to have lost interest in her, Chen Bing felt a pang of disappointment. She grabbed the hem of his clothes and asked, feigning a wronged expression.
"What? My grades aren't as good as yours. I have to start early, even if I'm a slow learner. If my grades drop, even if Mom and Dad don't say anything, they'll definitely blame you."
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
Hearing that Xiao Shang was thinking of her so much, Chen Bing felt very gratified.
Thanks to Liu Xiaoxiao's help during the Spring Festival, and the heart-to-heart talks between Shang's parents in the past few days, my intimacy with Xiao Shang has improved by leaps and bounds, and I feel that we are not far from kissing every day.
No, no, how could I think like that? Uncle Shang just finished talking to me, and I'm already thinking about these things?
After mentally berating himself a couple of times, Chen Bing realized that his most important task at the moment was to get good grades.
My own problems shouldn't be too serious; at least until high school, and even until my senior year, my grades shouldn't decline. So the more important thing is to help Xiao Shang study well, so I can be more at ease about sticking things out.
Thinking of this, Chen Bing put on an arrogant air of being a teacher, patted Shang Yunmiao's head and asked if there was anything he could teach her.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Shang pointed to several problems he had encountered earlier and asked Chen Bing for help.
With focused attention and high morale, the enjoyable time spent explaining the problems quickly passed. After all the problems were explained, Shang Yunmiao no longer needed Chen Bing's guidance.
With nothing to do, Chen Bing was bored. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go home and get two sets of practice questions to work on.
As soon as he got home, he heard his cell phone buzz twice in his pocket.
Chen Bing, wondering who had sent her the message, casually took out her phone and saw on the lock screen that it was Lao Chen who had sent her two pictures.
Upon unlocking and entering the chat page, I saw that the first message Chen Shichao sent me was a panda emoji.
Chen Shih-Chao: (Your dad's here.JpG)
Ugh!
It's hardened; its fists have hardened.
For some reason, Chen Bing was still furious even though there was nothing wrong with the other person sending that emoji and there was no possibility that they were trying to take advantage of her.
It's as if you can see Chen Shichao's smirking face through this meme.
After calming herself down, Chen Bing continued reading another message he had sent.
This message is also an image, but instead of an emoji, it's a selfie.
Clicking in, you'll see Chen Shichao looking vain, wearing large-framed sunglasses, his mouth slightly curved to one side, just like the crooked-mouthed dragon king smile that became popular online a few years later.
He proudly extended his arm and linked it with a long-haired beauty who was also wearing sunglasses. Who else could this be but the beautiful Ms. Liu Yue?
Looking at the background of the photo, you can see that the two people were on a fishing boat that was sailing. At the very edge of the picture, you can also see the blue sea and sky.
Just as Chen Shichao finished looking at the photos and exited, he sent another message.
Chen Shichao: Yueyue and I are playing on the beach in Qingdao right now. I should have told you yesterday, but I forgot.
It was intentional; this person definitely did it on purpose.
He knew I wasn't planning to go back to Shangping this week, so he lied to Yueyue, saying he would tell her about it.
Then, he "naturally" forgot about it.
He's such a cunning guy.
Feeling resentful, Chen Bing took the test paper she needed to write and returned to Shang Yunmiao's room. She then took a photo with Shang Yunmiao and sent it to Chen Shichao.
Ignoring Xiao Shang's puzzled look for the moment, Chen Bing stared at the chat interface with Chen Shichao, waiting for his response.
Chen Shichao remained silent, and Chen Bing assumed he had nothing to say, so she moved closer to Xiao Shang to study together.
Unexpectedly, about an hour or two later, the other party sent another message.
This time, he sent another photo, another picture of him holding Yueyue, the two of them taking off their sunglasses and smiling at the camera, making a peace sign.
The difference is that the setting has changed. It's now the interior of a room, with a table full of seafood laid out around the two of them.
Damn it! Chen Bing could guess with her toes that Chen Shichao must have told Yueyue, "Take a picture of the two of us eating so that our son can feel at ease."
