She looked undeniably adorable, but what was even cuter was when Xiao Shang once again presented her milk tea to her lips like a precious treasure.
Ah~ How can you be so sensible and adorable?
Chen Bing opened her mouth wide, took the straw into her mouth, and sucked hard on the fair face that she imagined as Xiao Shang's classmate.
However, because he sucked too hard at once, the warm milk tea rushed straight to Chen Bing's throat, catching him off guard and causing him to cough. Fortunately, he didn't spit it out, otherwise he would have been very embarrassed.
Seeing Chen Bing's funny antics, Shang Yunmiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. However, when she saw passersby casting teasing glances at the two of them, the girl quickly stopped laughing and patted Chen Bing's back to help him calm down.
Before long, Chen Bing recovered from the embarrassing cough.
He patted Shang Yunmiao on the shoulder to show that she had done well, and then raised a bright and cheerful smile to signal to the people around him who were looking in their direction.
A perfect match, like a golden couple, innocent and carefree since childhood. From any angle, these two middle school students sitting together, laughing and joking, seem like a match made in heaven. Their interactions just now were the epitome of "childhood sweethearts." It's just unknown whether they are siblings or something else entirely.
After snapping out of her daze at the boy's cheerful smile, the few pedestrians who had been watching gradually dispersed, and their teasing and envious glances disappeared.
However, unbeknownst to Chen Bing, a young woman happened to have recorded the scene.
With a mischievous, aunt-like smile, she watched the video she had just filmed repeatedly, then opened Douyin (TikTok) and uploaded it...
Unaware that she and Shang Yunmiao had been secretly photographed and posted online, Chen Bing spent the rest of the time drinking milk tea and teasing Shang Yunmiao. Time passed leisurely. The mothers, having enjoyed their shopping, finally returned home near dusk.
After Chen Shichao and Shang Zhengxin returned home from get off work in the evening, the six of them had dinner, and then Yunxuan and her husband prepared to leave.
Staying at a friend's house for a day or two is understandable, but you can't stay forever. So these two insisted on leaving tonight, and after a few polite words of farewell from Liu Yue and her companion, they didn't say anything more, only telling them to come visit anytime.
So, amidst the farewells, Shang Zhengxin drove back to Baishi with his wife.
Yes, the word "wife" here is used in modern Chinese, not in the classical Chinese sense of "wife and children." In other words, Shang Yunmiao was spared.
This is not incomprehensible, since the day after tomorrow is the day to go back to school to pick up report cards. So Liu Yue's idea is to let Xiao Shang stay here and play for a couple more days. When the day comes, she can send one child or two children.
Shang Yunmiao naturally had no objection, and Shang Zhengxin and the other man, seeing that she had no objection, also had no objection, and thus, this situation arose.
"Come on, I'll take you to my bedroom. I recently bought a Souls-like game, but I can't beat it no matter what I do. Let's work together and give it a try!" As soon as her aunt and uncle left, Chen Bing eagerly grabbed their daughter's wrist, wanting to take her to her bedroom to do something interesting.
Chen Bing's idea was beautiful, but Yunxuan wasn't the only mother who would protect Shang Yunmiao.
Upon hearing her son say such a thing, Liu Yue immediately slapped away his groping hand and took Shang Yunmiao's hand herself.
"Don't worry about him, how about Mom takes you to try on the new clothes we bought?"
"Okay, Mom." Shang Yunmiao followed Liu Yue away, turning back before leaving to give Chen Bing a brief, meaningful glance. That glance, seemingly timeless, held a profound depth of meaning.
After his gaming partner was snatched away by his mother, Chen Bing pouted, feeling a bit helpless. However, his righteous ally, Chen Shichao, didn't leave him. He had just heard about Souls-like systems and games from his son, and he was quite tempted for a moment.
So the father took the initiative to go up to his son and said, "Come on, Dad will play games with you." He put his arm around his son's shoulder, but suddenly realized that the other boy was already as tall as him, almost 1.75 meters.
"Sigh~ Fine then." Compared to Chen Shichao, who loved to cheat when playing games, Chen Bing certainly preferred the well-behaved Shang Yunmiao. But since there wasn't a better choice right now, he could only reluctantly accept her invitation.
Besides, your dad has already asked you to play games with him, how could you refuse him? No way.
So the two groups went into their respective rooms and began their own nights.
On one side are dress-up games like Miracle Nikki, and on the other side are FPS games like Dada Dada.
Yes, you read that right, it's pFS, which stands for first-person shooter.
Chen Shichao, that old scoundrel, had no idea what a Souls-like game was before, so after playing Nioh for a while, he started making a huge fuss, saying that dying all the time was boring and that romance-themed visual novels were better.
Under the other party's strong insistence, Chen Bing had no choice but to play his favorite game, pFS.
At first, the two chose to play PUBG, but Chen Shichao kept getting eliminated as soon as he landed and couldn't find any weapons. He wandered around aimlessly for a long time only to be shot down, which was very boring. So they started arguing to switch to another game.
Finally, after a lengthy selection process lasting over ten minutes, Chen Shichao chose the classic memory game – CrossFire. He also insisted that if he wanted to play in a two-person room, he would play solo, saying that his shooting skills were exceptional.
As it turned out, the old scoundrel was just bragging. After a fierce battle, he managed to achieve a 1:0.5 exchange ratio against Chen Bing, whose skill level was extremely poor.
So this old scoundrel started cheating, saying that you can't use the scope when playing blind-firing, but in fact he secretly used the scope when Chen Bing wasn't paying attention. He even went so far as to deny it to the death when his son caught him cheating, and made all sorts of denials.
But faced with the undeniable facts—the video recording—he could only stubbornly admit it. Then, he continued his sophistry, arguing that it was only natural for a father to discipline his son, and that what his father did couldn't be called cheating; it was called outsmarting him. Finally, he used traditional Chinese moral principles of hierarchy to launch a moral attack on Chen Bing, revealing his ugly true colors clearly to the son.
In the end, Chen Shichao completely abandoned the fact that he had cheated, and instead questioned Chen Bing's moral character.
Having such a troublesome father left Chen Bing helpless. After all, the man was no longer the good-for-nothing father who needed Chen Bing's help. Now, he had grown up, not only a successful entrepreneur managing hundreds of employees but also controlling the family finances. His prestige and influence were unparalleled, and Chen Bing could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger in the face of his tyranny.
