Seeing her son's proud, half-smiling expression, Li Qingyi said, "Not bad."

The Shen family has a wide variety of food, and Xiao Yixing loves to eat, especially sweets.
Eating sweets at this age is bad for her teeth, so Shen Jingshao watched over Wen Yixing every day to prevent her from eating too many sweets.
Li Qingyi felt proud that her son was starting to act like an older brother. That night, she woke up to a noise and saw her son sneaking in from outside with a cake in his hand. The two little ones were leaning against the window. Shen Jingshao handed Wen Yixing's favorite cake to her and said earnestly, "Mom is asleep. You can only eat a little bit. Eating too much will give you cavities."
Xiao Yixing's soft voice came from inside: "It's delicious! Brother Jingshao, you should eat some too!"
Shen Jingshao turned his head: "I don't like to eat it."
Eating sweets at night is bad for your teeth, so Li Qingyi waited a while and let them have a couple of bites before turning on the light.
The room lights came on, and Li Qingyi saw Xiao Yixing feeding her son cake with a spoon.
How could Shen Jingshao refuse the cake his sister fed him? He opened his mouth and ate it.
Li Qingyi: "......"

Two months later, Li Qingyi was preparing to return to Beijing.
Since learning he was leaving, Shen Jingshao had clearly become somewhat depressed.
This was the first time Li Qingyi had ever seen her son, who was usually in a stable emotional state, cry.
In the room, Shen Jingshao looked at her and said with a choked voice, "Can you please not let her leave? I can take care of her from now on. I've been taking good care of her these past few days, and Xiao Yixing won't get sick anymore."
Li Qingyi understood her son's personality. She patted his head and said gently, "But Xiao Yixing has his own family here. Have you asked Xiao Yixing and Uncle Wen if they are willing to come with us?"
Even so, Li Qingyi still couldn't bear to refuse her son.
Xiao Yixing is a very smart child. It would be better for him to go to school in the capital than here.
Besides, her family isn't short of money to raise a little girl, and they can also provide Wen Jianguo with a job in the capital.
Li Qingyi told Wen Jianguo about this. Wen Jianguo had a good impression of the lady of the house. She was a very polite and highly educated lady. After all, she was able to send her daughter to school in the capital. Wen Jianguo was tempted and decided to go to Beijing with the Shen family to work.

Shen Jingshao kept his word and took excellent care of Xiao Yixing after arriving in Beijing.
The two went to school together, came home together, and did their homework together in the evening.
However, Li Qingyi noticed that her son especially liked to stick to Xiao Yixing.
Once, Xiao Yixing wanted to go back to her hometown for two days, but Shen Jingshao didn't go back.
Li Qingyi discovered that he was on the rooftop in the middle of the night, staring blankly at the stars in the cold wind.
Li Qingyi approached: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Shen Jingshao: "I can't sleep without my sister here."
Li Qingyi still remembers that her son had a severe sleep disorder when he first returned to China. He had seen many doctors but the condition did not improve. However, it got better on its own later. But now that she thinks about it carefully, it must have been after he met Xiao Yixing that he got better.
Sometimes Li Qingyi really felt that Xiao Yixing was their lucky star. Since meeting the lucky star, her son's health improved, his personality became less dull, he studied very hard and made excellent progress in his studies.
Thinking of this, Li Qingyi looked down at Shen Jingshao and asked curiously, "Ah Shao, Mom wants to know, why do you like your little sister so much?"
Shen Jingshao didn't know why this was the problem either. He thought about it for many days before he was finally able to determine it.
It was probably on that boring afternoon that he was resting under the shade of a tree when he opened his eyes and saw a beautiful little girl appear in the light and shadow.
She appeared in his world like a lively little elf, bathed in warm sunlight.

Wen Jianguo has worked diligently and acted with composure over the years, and has become one of the Shen family's stewards.
Wen Yixing and Shen Jingshao both got into the best high school in the city. Since entering puberty, their relationship has become somewhat complicated. First, various rumors circulated at school, some saying that Shen Jingshao was Wen Yixing's biological brother, others saying that Wen Yixing was actually an illegitimate child, and so on. Therefore, after entering the new high school, at Wen Yixing's request, the two did not publicly acknowledge their relationship. They only went to school and went home together in private.
With those rumors gone, Wen Yixing focused more on her studies, and she consistently ranked first in her grade.
Shen Jingshao was not bad either, but his grades were not as stable as Wen Yixing's, fluctuating between second and thirtieth in the grade.
Wen Yixing knew that Shen Jingshao was very smart, and that his poor performance in the exam was simply because he hadn't given it his all.
Every time Shen Jingshao did poorly on a test, Wen Yixing would take her books to his room and tutor him. Then Wen Yixing noticed that Shen Jingshao's test scores were getting worse and worse each time.
Wen Yixing: "..."
Shen Jingshao must have done it on purpose!

Although the two tried to avoid each other in public, some of their subtle actions could not be hidden from their close friends.
Wen Yixing sometimes doesn't like to eat lunch. She often reads books in the classroom. After Shen Jingshao found out about this, he would check on her every day to see if she had eaten lunch.
After it happened many times, people naturally noticed something was amiss.
Rumors started circulating again at the school.
Wen Yixing's deskmates came over curiously and asked, "Yixing, are you dating Shen Jingshao?"
Wen Yixing looked up, somewhat puzzled: "Why do you ask that?"
"When I came back that day, I saw you holding Shen Jingshao's hand. The two of you were eating lunch together, and Shen Jingshao even ate the leftovers you had!"
