Chapter 140
The news of a giant monster appearing in the examination room was only circulated on the Internet for less than half an hour before it was controlled by the authorities and disappeared without a trace.
Rong Cheng saw the scene in the examination room and found that no one would believe him even if he told others about it. He couldn't help but wonder if he was dazzled.
This kind of news emerges from time to time in various places, but there are too many strange stories, and true and false are mixed in, so most people can't tell them apart and treat them all as jokes.
For Xingnuo, this hot summer is like his father never letting him lower the temperature of the air conditioner. He breathes hot air and feels sticky all over.
However, although his father and eldest brother strictly prevented him from eating cold food, Shen Baizhou was a doting brother and would always secretly buy him some ice cream under the pretext of taking Xingnuo for a stroll downstairs.
Chen Baizhou had very little pocket money, and Chen Yan was afraid that he would always buy dirty things for Xingnuo, so he strictly limited his pocket money.
Fortunately, Shen Baizhou went back to the bottom of the sea, took out a small piece of gold and sold it for a small five-digit sum, and suddenly became wealthy.
Xingnuo held his brother's hand, and the two of them went downstairs like thieves and walked around the small garden as usual.
Xingnuo also rejected several children who wanted to play sand games with him, and followed his brother to sneak to a small supermarket in the next community.
I don’t dare to go to my own community because I’m afraid of being discovered.
The two of them leaned over the freezer skillfully, carefully selecting the flavors of ice cream inside.
Xingnuo pointed to an ice cream in a purple packaging bag:
"I've never tried this, it tastes like grapes."
Shen Baizhou picked it up and looked at it for a long time, then shook his head.
"This portion is too heavy. We won't be able to finish it later. If we run into Shen Yan who comes looking for us, we'll be finished."
There were several times when Shen Yan had to return to the company temporarily, and when he went downstairs, he ran into Shen Baizhou and Xing Nuo, squatting in front of the small flower bed, eating snacks furtively.
Shen Yan confiscated all the snacks from the two, and then reduced Shen Baizhou's living expenses again.
Shen Yan's expression at that time was cold and serious, like an emotionless sculpture, and he warned Shen Baizhou:
“Chen Baizhou, if I find out you brought Xingnuo to eat these things again, you just wait.”
I don’t know why, but Shen Baizhou usually doesn’t show any fear when facing Shen Yan.
But only in this matter, Shen Baizhou shrank his head and stood side by side with Xingnuo. The two of them were criticized cowardly and did not dare to raise their heads to talk back.
Xingnuo thought of his elder brother getting angry, with a darker face than the bottom of a pot. Even in the middle of summer, he couldn't help but feel cold sweat on his back.
"Then let's get a smaller one and share it."
Shen Baizhou agreed, put one hand in his pocket, took out three dollars, and bought a cream-flavored pudding ice cream.
The boss is familiar with these two brothers, one big and one small. Every time they come, they hide and hide from the adults. But they are so good-looking, which makes them look very funny.
"Okay, let's go."
Seeing Shen Baizhou holding his brother's hand and preparing to leave, the boss smiled and muttered:
"Forget about your brother, but you're such a grown-up boy, why are you still afraid of your parents forcing you to buy snacks?"
Shen Baizhou frowned, raised his single eyelids, and sneered:
"I'm afraid? I'm not afraid at all!"
The boss fanned himself and uttered an "eh" sound, not at all believing it.
"Do you feel guilty when you hear this?"
Xingnuo licked the cream ice cream, and his mouth was covered with a layer of milky white cream stains. He raised his little face to look at his second brother and patted his arm soothingly.
"It's okay, I was scared too, it's not shameful!"
Shen Baizhou was not comforted at all. The corners of his mouth twitched. He took the ice cream that Xingnuo had taken two bites of and ate most of it in a few bites.
"It's my turn to eat. I'll give it to you after I'm done."
Xingnuo nodded and stood aside obediently, waiting for his brother to finish the ice cream and give it to him.
Shen Baizhou was also afraid that Xingnuo would have a stomachache if she ate too much cold food, and he would inevitably be beaten up by Shen Yan and Shen Wen. He bit off most of the ice cream, leaving only a little on the stick.
Xingnuo took it with great care, licked it with small sips, and exclaimed "wow".
“It’s so nice to eat ice cream in the summer!”
It's chilly, not that it tastes great, but my throat and stomach feel cold after eating it, as if they're no longer hot.
Xingnuo licked the tiny bit of ice cream on the stick carefully for a long time, and finally finished it before entering the residential area.
The two of them skillfully threw the packaging bags and sticks into the trash can, then went to the faucet in front of the flower bed, fetched water, wiped their little faces and hands, and after making sure there was no problem, they happily went upstairs and went home.
Shen Yan, who knew very well that the two had gone downstairs to secretly eat ice cream, crossed his long legs, sat on the sofa in a calm posture, raised his chin, and motioned Shen Baizhou to sit down.
Shen Baizhou put one hand in his pocket, waved his hand to let Xingnuo go back to the room to do homework, sat down boldly, looked up and said:
"What are you doing?"
Chen Yan raised his eyelids, his eyes filled with unconcealed disdain, and said directly:
"Take Xingnuo out for ice cream?"
Shen Baizhou refused to admit it, leaning lazily on the sofa, yawning and not answering.
"I went to the bottom of the sea a while ago and opened a shop next to the mermaid tribe. By chance, I took the things in your nest away."
Shen Baizhou, who was yawning with his mouth wide open, froze in expression, closed his mouth, and instantly widened his eyes:
"You emptied it for me?"
Shen Yan nodded: “That’s right.”
Shen Baizhou was shocked and angry: "Not one left?!"
Chen Yan said leisurely: “Not one left.”
Shen Baizhou was furious and screamed. He was about to fight Shen Yan to the death, but was restrained by Shen Yan's words.
"You took Xingnuo to eat ice cream eleven times and snacks eight times. I caught you five times this month. Shen Baizhou, what do you say? I should tell my father."
Shen Wen hadn’t discovered that Shen Baizhou secretly gave Xing Nuo ice cream.
Shen Baizhou had just stood up, but he sat back down silently after hearing the words, his mind was empty, and when he thought of Shen Yan's indifference and ruthlessness, he rolled his eyes in anger.
“You are too cruel, Chen Yan, among humans you are also a dog.”
Chen Yan remained expressionless despite being mocked, he snorted softly and put away the magazine beside him.
"Don't worry, I'll return the things to you later. As for how much, it depends on your performance."
Shen Baizhou's lifeblood was pinched, and his eyes were dead for two whole days.
After finishing dinner, Xingnuo looked at the fiery red sunset in the sky, blinked his eyes hard, and winked at Chen Baizhou.
Brother, it’s time to go downstairs to eat ice cream!
Shen Baizhou silently turned his face away, pretending not to see it.
Xingnuo saw that his brother avoided his gaze, and tilted his head in confusion, and took advantage of the free time when his father was learning a new dish in the frying kitchen, and ran to Shen Baizhou.
Like a little spy, Xingnuo covered his mouth and whispered:
"Brother, come downstairs to play?"
Shen Baizhou glanced at Shen Yan who was glancing at him coldly not far away, and shook his head silently.
"No."
Xingnuo knelt on the sofa, rested his little head on his belly, and kept asking:
"Why? It's so much fun downstairs!"
Shen Baizhou moved Xingnuo's little head away, continued to sigh, put his hands together, slumped on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.
"It's not fun. I don't want to go."
Xingnuo's head was full of question marks. He climbed down from the sofa and took two steps out with his short legs.
"So I really went?"
Shen Baizhou waved his hand: "Go ahead, go and play with the kids."
Xingnuo said "oh" and went downstairs alone unhappily, going to the small garden to play with sand piles with other children.
The child was planning to build a car model today. He was holding a small shovel and a small bucket. When he saw Xingnuo, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Xingnuo? How come you have time to come and play today?"
Xingnuo squatted down, sat next to the sand pit, sighed, and shook his head.
"I don't know. If my brother doesn't come down, I'll be free."
The kids in the neighborhood really like playing with Xingnuo. Seeing this, they exclaimed and couldn't help but say:
"Then it would be better if your brother didn't come down every day!"
It came true!
In the following week, Shen Baizhou really didn't come down once!
Xingnuo and the other kids played all kinds of games, from playing with sand to playing hide-and-seek, but the brother still didn’t want to go downstairs!
Xingnuo was struck by lightning as if from the blue. A cub sat silently in front of the small flower bed, mourning the passing of his wonderful life.
Qi Yao, who had just returned from the Special Forces Department, saw his little neighbor sitting alone with a sad and lost expression. He couldn't help but walk up to him and ask:
"What's wrong, Xingnuo? Where's your brother? Isn't he the one who usually accompanies you downstairs to play?"
Shen Baizhou liked to go downstairs with Xingnuo to sneakily buy snacks, and Qi Yao had encountered this several times.
Xingnuo felt even more upset when he thought of his brother. He sighed and shook his head silently.
"My brother is at home. He won't come out."
Qi Yao thought about it and said with understanding:
"The results are coming out soon, and I have to fill in the application form soon, so I might be in a bad mood."
Xingnuo didn't understand the adult world, and his little eyes were full of doubts: "Really?"
Qi Yao held Xingnuo's hand and nodded.
"Of course, I see that many students are anxious recently. Don't worry, uncle will take you to buy snacks!"
Xingnuo's eyes lit up instantly, and he raised his little face, revealing a dimple full of sugar, and said obediently:
"Thank you, Uncle Qi! Can you buy me a small ice cream?"
Qi Yao laughed. He had more than enough salary to spend and he was not the kind of person who liked to enjoy himself, so he waved his hand and agreed.
"It's just an ice cream. Come on! Uncle will treat you to a deluxe ice cream!"
In the past, Xingnuo and his brother had to save money and only dared to buy ice cream for three yuan!
This time, Uncle Qi Yao bought one for thirty yuan!
Xingnuo held the ice cream and felt as if he was holding a piece of gold. It was cold but very hot to the touch.
"I can't eat so much, uncle, please leave a little for me."
Qi Yao squatted down and pinched Xingnuo's little face, then smiled softly and heartily:
"It's just an ice cream, and it's too shabby for two people to share. You can eat it. Uncle doesn't like to eat sweet things. It hurts his teeth."
Xingnuo then said "oh" and held the box of ice cream in his hand, not wanting to eat it. He just scooped out a little bit and tasted it, and was instantly amazed.
“It’s delicious!”
It tastes just like pudding ice cream, but Xingnuo feels that this bite is worth ten bites of three-dollar ice cream!
Xingnuo held the ice cream in his hands excitedly and ran home happily with Uncle Qi Yao.
After going upstairs, Xingnuo hid the ice cream in his clothes, ran into the house and knocked on his brother's bedroom door.
"Brother!" Xingnuo shouted.
Shen Baizhou climbed out of the water tank, shook his hair, and opened the door for Xingnuo.
Xingnuo sneaked in, closed the door, and took out a box of ice cream from his clothes.
"Brother, look! Uncle Qi treated me to a meal! Thirty yuan worth of ice cream!"
Shen Baizhou was restricted by Shen Yan, and his pocket money was only thirty yuan a month!
Shen Baizhou's eyes suddenly widened, and he and Xingnuo gathered around the table, carefully examining the thirty-yuan box of ice cream.
"It's different at first glance." Shen Baizhou came to the conclusion without even tasting it.
Xingnuo lay on one side and nodded vigorously.
"That's right!" Xingnuo, whose pocket money was also only one dollar a day, agreed in his eyes.
