Qin Sheng played games for two periods and then slept for two periods, until he was woken up by Chi Sangsang and Xia Tian at lunchtime.
She glanced at her seat.
The clutter has been cleaned up, the tables, chairs, books and documents have all been replaced with new ones, the words on the wall have been wiped clean, and a new layer of white paint has been applied.
Qin Sheng was quite surprised: "The efficiency is quite high."
Chi Sangsang, Xia Tian: "..."
How could it not be high?
Teacher Lin Zhou has already said so much. If Ning Yutong and her parents still want her to be a decent human being, they should at least resolve this matter in the shortest possible time!
As if struck by a thought, Chi Sangsang suddenly revealed a strange expression: "So, you didn't refuse Ning Yutong's apology before, but you simply didn't know she was here?"
I know that, but I'm just too lazy to bother.
However, explaining would be too troublesome, so Qin Sheng simply hummed in agreement.
Chi Sangsang and Xia Tian exchanged a glance and suddenly felt a little sorry for Ning Yutong.
So all that crying and fussing about was just to keep the other person completely absorbed in their own world, oblivious to everything.
Well, this is probably what they mean by "evil people will be punished by other evil people".
But that has nothing to do with them. What does matter to them is: "It's time to eat."
Chi Sangsang and Xia Tian wanted to pull Qin Sheng, but looking at the girl's expressionless face, their outstretched hands inexplicably stopped halfway.
Chi Sangsang couldn't help but mutter a couple of words: "Always has a cold face, not cute at all."
Her eyes darted around, and she steeled herself, closing her eyes as she grabbed Qin Sheng's wrist: "Come on, come on! I heard the cafeteria has fried chicken cutlets today. If we don't go now, all the good food will be gone!"
Qin Sheng paused when she heard about fried chicken cutlet, just as she was about to dodge. The next moment, Chi Sangsang pulled her away and they ran out.
A cool breeze blew in her face, accompanied by the girl's clear laughter. Qin Sheng's fingertips twitched slightly, and she slowly loosened her grip.
never mind.
Pulling it won't cost me anything, let's eat the fried chicken first.
*
Qin Family Manor.
Qin Zheng checked the time: 11:48.
He glanced towards the kitchen and heard a series of clattering sounds. He couldn't help but rub his temples. "Xiao Ming, are you done yet? It's almost 12 o'clock. I'm going to be late for my afternoon meeting."
"That's good, that's good, just one last dish: cola chicken wings!" Gu Yueming's voice rang out from the kitchen, accompanied by a very crisp sound of a plate shattering.
Qin Zheng: "..."
Two more minutes passed.
Qin Zheng sighed, got up and walked towards the kitchen, but the sounds from the kitchen suddenly stopped, and Gu Yueming came out of the kitchen door.
Qin Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Aren't we going to tear it down?"
Gu Yueming raised a bewildered face: "Tear down what?"
The kitchen, I suppose.
However, Qin Zheng realized he had blurted out something, so he immediately changed the subject and said seriously, "I meant, is the loving lunch you made for Sheng Sheng ready? I'll go and pack it up in a nice lunchbox for you."
Gu Yueming instantly turned into a wilted eggplant: "No need."
The rabbit's ears drooped low, and it could barely keep its tail. It looked utterly dejected.
Qin Zheng felt a little sorry for him: "What's wrong?"
Gu Yueming said with a wronged expression, "Sheng Sheng sent a message saying that she went to the cafeteria with her classmates and that she doesn't need to bring her lunch anymore."
Qin Zheng chuckled.
He reached out and touched the top of the woman's dark hair, softening his voice as he said, "This is a good thing, why are you sad?"
Gu Yueming: "Hmm?"
“Sheng Sheng has endured a lot of things she shouldn’t have had to endure since she was a child, which made her aloof. The fact that she’s willing to eat with her classmates now means that she’s slowly opening her heart. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Gu Yueming looked confused: "Where is Sheng Sheng being cold? She's clearly so well-behaved, cute, and sweet, and her voice is so lovely!"
Qin Zheng was already immune to his wife's selective neglect of their daughter. After thinking for a moment, he changed his words: "Sheng Sheng is seventeen years old. She should have her own social circle. As parents, we just need to be there for her when she needs us. We can't confine her within the walls we've built."
Gu Yueming lowered her eyes, and after a long while, said softly, "I understand."
Qin Zheng felt a pang of heartache when he saw her red eyes. He reached out to pull her into his arms, but before he could do anything, Gu Yueming had already composed herself and pointed a slender finger toward the kitchen.
"Then you can have the lunch prepared for Sheng Sheng."
Qin Zheng stared at the chicken wings, which were as black as charcoal, the yellowed vegetables, and the shrimp fried rice, which exuded a strong, charred aroma, and instantly thought: "..."
What should I do if I don't want to take advantage of this opportunity at all?
Qin Zheng finished all the food with tears in his eyes, then took out his phone to send a message to Qin Sheng.
[Daughter, Dad heard you're selling fake medicine. Do you have any at home? Dad just finished eating the meal your mom cooked, and I think I might need some emergency treatment.]
Just then, Qin Sheng finished eating a piece of fried chicken cutlet and casually replied to the message.
[It's in a small wooden box on the bedside table by the window in my room; take it yourself.]
After thinking about it, I sent another message.
It's expensive, so eat sparingly.
Qin Zheng was both amused and exasperated. After thinking for a moment, he went to Qin Sheng's room, found two pills, took them out, but didn't take them. Instead, he sent Qin Sheng a message.
[I heard from Xie Fang that you have some pills that are very effective at stopping bleeding. A friend of mine was injured and the bleeding wouldn't stop, so I'm taking two of these to try.]
Qin Sheng replied to the message quite quickly.
