Chapter 81 Chapter 81 No, I’m being pretentious.
"You just let them come back like that?"
In the evening, Liang Lin told Ji Kai about letting Ji Maili and Shen Lu move back in a few days. Ji Kai was very confused after hearing this. It was she who first suggested that his son go abroad. It was also she who tearfully asked him what to do after Ji Maili confessed. Why is she the one who suddenly let it go now?
Liang Lin glared at him. "What else? You want them to die out there? In just a few days, one of them is almost blind and the other is coughing non-stop. I'm warning you, if they come back, you're not allowed to show them a bad face!"
Ji Kai felt extremely wronged: "How did it become me who was being rude? I didn't do that because of you..." Seeing Liang Lin glaring at him, Ji Kai gave in: "Okay, okay, it was me who was being rude. I was the one who kicked your son out."
Liang Lin still felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart, but when she thought of Chen Lu and Ji Maili, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. One was her biological child, and the other was raised by her. How could she just ignore them?
Liang Lin returned to her room. Ji Kai looked at Ji Huan speechlessly, "Who did I offend?"
Ji Huan was holding his computer while writing a report. He smiled and said, "Who told you to scold Mai Mai so harshly last time? If you don't take the blame, do you expect my mother to take it herself?"

Chen Lu kept coughing until the start of school, and Ji Maili thought it was because he was tired from explaining too many questions to him.
Ji Maili decided to relieve Chen Lu's pressure and hand it over to the school teachers.
On the first day of school, Ji Maili did not skip class, nor did he sleep on the table. Instead, he stared straight at the podium, which scared the teacher who taught their class.
After class, several teachers were discussing in the office whether Ji Maili was up to something again. Why did he seem like he was possessed by a ghost today?
There were sudden knocks on the office door, and Ji Maili appeared at the door: "Teacher Xu, I don't understand a few questions. Can you help me explain them?"
Teacher Xu, who was called, pointed at his nose for a long time without saying a word. He turned his head and looked at the other teachers... Ji Maili asked, "Isn't this really just hallucination?"
After school in the evening, Chen Lu and Ji Maili returned to Ji's house. At around ten o'clock, Liang Lin went up to call them for supper. When she walked to the door, she saw two people who seemed to be arguing.
Liang Lin: "What's going on?"
Ji Maili complained: "He said he wanted to go back."
Liang Lin looked at Chen Lu: "Didn't we agree to live here? I've already cleaned up the room for you. Why are you leaving again?"
The relationship between Shen Lu and Ji Maili is different now. He can't live here without any psychological pressure: "Auntie, I'd better go back. It's not suitable for me to live here."
Ji Maili glared at Chen Lu: "Yes, it's not appropriate. It's not appropriate for you to be here. I hired you to be my tutor. Just leave after you finish your homework. Do you want me to pay you more?"
Liang Lin patted Ji Maili and said, "Speak properly."
Ji Maili said angrily, "He was the one who didn't speak properly. We agreed to come back together, but now he wants to leave me here alone. Go away. I don't need you to teach me anymore. I can learn on my own!"
Ji Maili told him to go, but he never let go of Shen Lu's hand.
Liang Lin took a look and saw that this person was not in a position to let anyone go: "If you want to leave, you should have a midnight snack first."
Ji Maili suddenly looked at his mother: "Are you really going to let him go? Then I'll go with him."
Shen Lu couldn't help laughing, but Ji Maili glared at him: "What the hell are you laughing at! Are you looking for a fight?"
In the end, Chen Lu didn't leave, but that didn't stop Ji Maili from glaring at him while they were having supper: "You're just being pretentious."
Shen Lu admitted: "A little bit."
They still had classes tomorrow, so after a midnight snack, they went upstairs to get ready for bed. Seeing Shen Lu heading to the next room, Ji Maili grabbed his T-shirt and asked, "Where are you going?"
Shen Lu's throat was locked by his collar. He took a step back and said, "Sleep."
Ji Maili: "Where do you sleep?"
Shen Lu pointed to the next door.
Ji Maili looked around and said in a low voice, "My mother is not here, why are you going there? Just sleep in my room."
Shen Lu pulled away his hand that was pulling at his clothes: "No, I'm being hypocritical."
...
The next morning, Liang Lin knocked on Ji Maili's door to wake him up. After knocking for a long time, there was no response. She was about to push the door open when the door next door opened. Ji Maili came out of the next room yawning, looking as if he had not woken up yet.
"Mom, why are you up so early? We can just buy breakfast and eat it."
Liang Lin opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping for a long time, "You, you didn't sleep in your own room last night?"
Ji Maili scratched his hair and said, "No, that hypocritical Chen Lu didn't go back to my room to sleep with me, so I went to his room."
Liang Lin: “…”
Liang Lin has always felt that Chen Lu is not the kind of child who is ignorant. Now she is even more certain that the two of them are together because her bastard son abducted them. While the parents are away, her bad son tricked her into getting her.
Liang Lin suddenly felt a little sorry for Shen Lu's mother.
-
In the following month or so, Ji Maili became a permanent guest in the office, and he could be seen at the desks of various teachers every day.
At first, some teachers thought he was deliberately looking for trouble, but as time went on, especially after seeing Ji Maili's results after the first monthly exam, teachers of various subjects inexplicably began to get nervous, all wanting to see who could be the first to help this piece of mud climb the wall.
During this period, Chen Lu had been living in Ji Maili's house. No one in the Ji family had mentioned the fact that the two of them were together. One night, Ji Kai passed by Ji Maili's room. The door was not closed. He took a look inside and saw the two of them sitting side by side at the table, each writing their own papers.
Ji Maili suddenly slammed his head on the test paper and sighed: "Chen Lu, do you think I can do it? Why do I still not know how to answer so many questions?"
Shen Lu rubbed his head: "It's already very good. Your class teacher said that you have made rapid progress. Besides, aren't you going to take the art exam? It doesn't matter if your academic performance is poor. As long as the score is high enough, it's fine."
Ji Maili: "But there is still a long way to go."
Shen Lu: "There's still time."
Ji Kai sighed silently, turned around, and was startled by Liang Lin standing behind him, "Hey! Why are you standing here?"
Liang Lin hissed, "Keep your voice down."
The door was open, and the sound was heard by the people in the small room. Ji Maili walked to the door and said, "Can you two stop being so sneaky and give us a little privacy, little couple?"
As soon as Ji Maili opened his mouth, he reminded them of his relationship with Shen Lu. Ji Kai wanted to slap him when he heard him say, "You want privacy but you open the door so wide? Don't you know how to close it?"
Ji Maili: "I was afraid that if I closed the door, you would have wild thoughts. We are fighting for our future now, so we don't have time to kiss each other. I opened the door because I didn't want you to guess, but you still came to peek."
Ji Kai: "Whoever peeked, whoever peeked! I was just passing by and took a look!"
The phone rang, and the sound came from inside the house. Ji Maili looked back at Shen Lu and picked up the phone: "Who is it?"
Shen Lu: "My mother."
