After hearing this answer, Shang Zhengxin fell silent.
He pondered for a while, but in the end he said nothing. He patted Yunxuan on the back again, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Nothing was said that night.
At 5:30 a.m. the next morning, Chen Bing, despite being sleepy, woke up to the noise of the alarm clock and washed up.
After putting on the military training uniform that had been handed out yesterday, Chen Bing looked herself over in the mirror.
Yeah, handsome guys look good in anything.
After admiring herself enough, Chen Bing left the room and was surprised to see Liu Yue busily preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Weren't you spending your summer vacation in Xiangzhou with Lao Chen? How come you're back home in the blink of an eye? Am I still asleep?
After noticing Chen Bing come out, the beautiful mother waved her hand and invited him to eat.
Looking at Yueyue's gentle smile, Chen Bing suppressed her doubts and was deeply moved. It wasn't even six o'clock yet! Motherly love is truly great.
Moved, Chen Bing went up and hugged her sister Yueyue.
"Yueyue, you're so kind."
"Call me Mom~ Mom~"
"Okay, Yueyue, yes, Yueyue, no problem, Yueyue."
After patting her son with a smile, Liu Yue helped him eat breakfast.
During this time, Chen Bing asked Liu Yue about why she had suddenly returned.
When he learned that the other person had returned at three or four in the morning, his feelings of gratitude deepened even further.
Even a fool could guess that Chen Shichao must have lied to Yueyue about his school start date, otherwise, given Liu Yue's personality, she would definitely have come back on the first day of school.
"Does Mom still need to bring it later?"
"Uncle Shang will take me there."
"Okay then." After watching Chen Bing wipe his mouth and get up with a smile, Liu Yue glanced at her son's tall and straight figure and then said with emotion, "My son is so handsome."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bing said smugly, "Then you don't even know who gave birth to you." After saying that, he urged Liu Yue to hurry back to her room for a nap, and the two parted ways.
At exactly six o'clock, Chen Bing got into the back seat of Shang Zhengxin's car, along with Shang's daughter.
"Chen Bing, teach me how to tie this belt."
As soon as Shang Yunmiao got on the bus, she started fiddling with her military training belt. But she foolishly tried for a long time and still couldn't get the belt right.
Just as she was struggling with this, she caught a glimpse of Chen Bing's belt, which was neatly tied around her waist. So, she asked Chen Bing for advice.
"Oh, this." Chen Bing, who had been staring at Shang Yunmiao for a while and had been waiting for her to say this for a long time, swallowed non-existent saliva, and then generously reached out to help Shang Yunmiao tie her belt.
"Look, put this piece through this buckle and fold it back. Then open this, and adjust the belt according to your waist size. Finally, tighten it like this and you're done." Chen Bing placed his hands on Shang Yunmiao's waist, one on each side. From his serious expression, it was clear that this meticulous man was observing whether the belt was tightened to the right degree.
Hehe, Xiao Shang's waist is so slim and supple. I'm definitely going to enjoy this after we get married.
Ahem! What are you thinking about!
Retracting the yellowish thoughts from her mind, Chen Bing asked Shang Yunmiao if she had understood what she had just read.
Although Shang Yunmiao was always a smart child, Chen Bing's movements were too fast for her to see clearly. More importantly, when Chen Bing helped her tie her belt, the boy's hand inevitably had a lot of intimate contact with her waist.
Even through the camouflage fabric, Shang Yunmiao could feel that the other person's large, warm hands were as if they were there specifically to bully her.
Under these two factors, the clever Shang Yunmiao failed to understand Chen Bing's actions and lowered her head in shame when questioned.
"I'm sorry, Chen Bing, I didn't understand just now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bing thought to herself, "I did it so fast, how could you possibly understand?" So, while untying the other person's belt, she comforted him, "It's alright, I'm always by your side anyway, I can help you tie it anytime."
These heartwarming words deeply moved Shang Yunmiao, and her gaze towards Chen Bing unconsciously filled with affection. However, a small question lingered in the girl's mind: why had Chen Bing just untied his belt after tying it?
This was obviously not a big problem, so after flashing through her mind, it was quickly buried deep in Shang Yunmiao's heart.
That morning, before the students of Class 1 lined up to head to the military training ground, Chen Bing helped Shang Yunmiao tie her belt again.
Suddenly, Shang Yunmiao remembered her earlier question.
As Chen Bing helped her fasten her belt, she tilted her head habitually and asked, "By the way, Chen Bing, why did you undo your belt after you fastened it for me?"
Because I want to take advantage of you a few more times.
The above is what Chen Bing couldn't say out loud. What she actually said was, "Because the belt is too tight and uncomfortable."
Because of Chen Bing's gentle words and the warm touch of his hands, Shang Yunmiao blushed slightly. She looked at Chen Bing's handsome and focused face, then at his tightly tied belt, and suddenly, another question popped into her mind.
If that's the case, then why did Chen Bing keep wearing her belt?
Just as she was about to ask the question, Chen Bing finished tying her belt, then patted her head and said gently, "Let's go, let's line up for military training."
Hmm... what's going on? Why is Chen Bing being so gentle today...?
Xiao Shang nodded with a blush, having already put all the questions out of her mind.
After lining up in their class, the students quickly arrived at the military training ground. There, a drill instructor who looked quite fierce was waiting for them.
There were no self-introductions or talent performances; the instructor immediately made everyone stand at attention under the sun.
Except for one student who was exempted from training due to health reasons, almost everyone spent several hours under the sun throughout the day. If it weren't for the military caps providing some shade, everyone would probably have gotten tanned to a deep brown on the first day of military training.
But the challenges they faced on the first day of school went far beyond that. That evening, during self-study, the English and math teachers were brought in early to teach the three short tests that had been distributed the day before.
This sense of urgency is something I've never experienced in my previous life; it seems like I'm getting extra help from the top students.
After listening attentively to the two teachers' lectures, time flew by and it was already the third period. Hu Jianjun, the geography teacher and homeroom teacher, brought out a small stack of white paper and handed it out, saying that the grade was required to write a military training diary.
