"Oh, so that's what you were thinking. I used to consider you my best friend, but you distanced yourself from me because you were afraid of being misunderstood and teased. After hearing what you said, I really felt very sad."
Chen Bing shook her head and, following Shang Yunmiao's train of thought, put on a heartbroken expression.
Shang Yunmiao was also very sad to see him like this, and her self-blame intensified.
Yes, Chen Bing is upright and has nothing to hide. He is honest, open, and aboveboard. But I was wronged because of my petty thoughts... Waaah... I'm so sorry to Chen Bing.
"I'm sorry, Chen Bing. I know I was wrong. Just punish me. Please don't distance yourself from me. Let's be number one in the world, okay?" Shang Tom Yunmiao, who had been manipulated by the bad man, lowered his head in shame. He even went so far as to ask the other party to punish him, clearly indicating that he already knew he was wrong.
Seeing her remorseful and willing to correct her mistakes, Chen Bing felt gratified. He then nodded, preparing to tease Shang Yunmiao again.
"Then, as your punishment, and also to prove to others that our relationship is completely innocent, tomorrow at school, you'll tell the whole class that you like me."
"Okay... Ah? Why, why?" Upon hearing Chen Bing's request, Shang Yunmiao subconsciously replied "okay," but after figuring out what the other person meant, she immediately put on a wronged and troubled expression.
Let alone declaring it in public, even secretly placing love letters in Chen Bing's desk drawer (the kind without her name) would require her to muster up a lot of courage.
Yes, perhaps it stemmed from a child's seriousness, but Shang Yunmiao had always insisted on doing one thing: every time Chen Bing received a love letter, she would write another one anonymously with her left hand and secretly slip it into Chen Bing's desk drawer.
Only in this way can one prove that they are Chen Bing's best friend and also the person who likes her the most.
In any case, these love letters will eventually return to their own hands, and apart from Chen Bing occasionally glancing at them, no one else will know their contents.
Even so, it took Shang Yunmiao seven or eight tries to master the crime. The leap from sending anonymous love letters to publicly declaring it was too great; even if Shang Yunmiao sent a hundred more love letters, she wouldn't dare.
Therefore, when Shang Yunmiao suddenly heard about Chen Bing's punishment measures, she felt a thousand times she wanted to refuse.
"Why, why do I have to prove our relationship is completely innocent? I have to lie!" After heated debate and careful consideration, Shang Yunmiao's brain decided that "lying" was the better word.
"Because think about it, aren't only people with questionable backgrounds afraid to say such things? But for people like us who are innocent, saying it can prove our uprightness."
"I think what you said is wrong..." Shang Yunmiao isn't a three-year-old anymore; such foolish words won't fool her. Besides, Chen Bing might not know, but in her mind, their relationship wasn't exactly innocent, so she wouldn't dare to do anything "upright and honest."
Seeing that his old tricks were no longer enough to fool this increasingly clever young girl, Chen Bing stopped teasing her and started talking about other more practical things.
"Since you're unwilling, then forget it. As for today's matter, just give me a shoulder massage and that's it."
Shang Yunmiao breathed a sigh of relief after being lifted up and gently lowered by Chen Bing's little trick. She then happily walked behind Chen Bing and obediently began to massage his shoulders.
Look, everyone! Look! What is a family empire? This is a family empire! To make Shang Yunmiao happier and more willing to work, Chen Bing decided to subtly "give her a warning."
"Oh, right, I haven't seen that love letter yet, Xiao Shangzi, bring it to me and let me take a look."
"yes!"
After taking the pink paper, Chen Bing pretended to read it carefully.
"Hmm, the handwriting is quite nice, but I still think the handwriting on the love letter written on orange stationery is more pleasing to the eye. Although the handwriting is a bit ugly, it's still quite comfortable to look at. Okay, Xiao Shangzi, take the letter back and remember to keep it safe for me."
"yes!"
After putting the letter back into her pocket, Shang Yunmiao felt a secret sense of smug satisfaction.
Look, even though my handwriting is crooked and messy, Chen Bing still thinks mine is beautiful!
Unaware of what was going on, Shang Yunmiao's mood became even more excited, and she worked even harder to massage Chen Bing's shoulders.
The massage was just a joke, and Chen Bing had no intention of actually letting a little Shang massage his shoulders for half a day. So he only enjoyed it for a short while before ending Shang Yunmiao's punishment and helping her with her homework.
Then in the evening, it was the same routine: eating, receiving praise, studying, washing up, and going to sleep.
Then, when I wake up tomorrow, it's the same routine all over again.
This kind of repetitive routine can be boring, but people who are depressed often overlook one thing.
Being able to live day after day, perhaps that is the most beautiful aspect of life.
You never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first, so if every day could be the same, and you could stay gently in the same place watching the clouds drift by, it wouldn't be such a bad thing.
Interesting things only make up a small fraction of life. When life returns to normal, simple activities like eating, studying, chatting, and having fun will become the norm.
Whether it's having a family dinner together after get off work, or snuggling up on the sofa to watch TV after a shower; or letting your mind wander outside the classroom to play during class, or running off to play with friends after class; or staying home for entertainment on holidays, or calling on friends to go out and have fun—these are the main themes of life.
Days went by like this, but it wasn't all without its ups and downs.
Judging from the nine goals Chen Bing planned many years ago, he did quite a lot during his time from fourth to sixth grade.
For example, in the arts, as mentioned in Article 6, Chen Bing's most significant achievement was obtaining the Level 10 amateur violin certificate in the spring of 2015. This was only because professional grading exams were only open to school staff; otherwise, according to Su Miaomiao, Chen Bing's skill level would definitely be much higher.
Some people might think that even if someone is at the highest level (Level 10 in amateur violin), they are still an amateur. But in reality, a violinist at this level is good enough to start a class and teach.
Besides, there are many awards in painting and calligraphy, but they are not as many as in the music field.
