Chapter 141
The two brothers each took a small spoon, knelt on the floor, and stared at the box of ice cream with a look of piety.
"Eat it little by little. If you finish it, it will be gone."
Xingnuo carefully dug out a little bit, held it in his mouth for a long time, and was reluctant to swallow it.
“How sweet!”
Xingnuo and Shen Baizhou ate a spoonful each and decided to hide it in the refrigerator and continue eating it next time.
Xingnuo wrapped the box of ice cream in his clothes again, peeked out of the bedroom, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his elder brother and father were not there.
They hid the ice cream in the bottom layer of the refrigerator and covered it with a bunch of things. Xingnuo and Shen Baizhou watched for a long time and were relieved when they were sure that it would not be discovered.
After doing all this like a thief, before Xingnuo could leave the scene, a voice came from the air:
"Xingnuo, what are you doing?"
Xingnuo was startled, his little curly hair suddenly stood up, like a little animal with its fur standing on end, and his face instantly tensed.
"I didn't do anything!"
Shen Baizhou was also frightened, and when he saw Wen Xingxue using props in the air, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Wen Xingxue also glanced at Shen Baizhou, obviously not taking him seriously, and stepped forward to rub Xingnuo's little head.
"Yes, Dad. Xingnuo didn't forget, right?"
Xingnuo nodded vigorously, took a long breath, ran back to the bedroom and took out a small can of Sterculia lychnophora.
"Dad, I secretly saved money to buy this for you."
This small jar of Plantago asiatica costs more than 50 yuan, and Xingnuo saved it for two months!
In the past two months, Xingnuo had asked Shen Baizhou to pay for the ice cream, and his pocket was completely empty.
Wen Xingxue was instantly moved and wanted to hug her son and give him a kiss. She had a strong urge to show off to the whole world!
How come his son is so well-behaved and cute!
"Thank you Xingnuo." Wen Xingxue's tone softened, his eyes filled with tears.
Xingnuo pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, then put the jar on the ground.
"Dad, please go quickly. My brother and the others will be back soon."
Wen Xingxue was so moved that she didn't think about the meaning of Xingnuo's words at all.
It seemed like the little guy already knew that everyone else in the family could see Wen Xingxue, so he reminded him to walk quickly.
But when the old father saw his son, his IQ dropped. He nodded vigorously and left with the jar.
Xingnuo felt in the air that his father had left and breathed a sigh of relief. He heard the sound of the door being pushed open and walked out as if nothing had happened.
“Dad, brother!”
Chen Wen was still interested in making soup, so he rolled up his sleeves and planned to try the simplest chicken soup taught by the grandma downstairs tonight!
Chen Yan asked Chen Wen to leave without leaving a trace, and worked in the kitchen for a long time, making four dishes and a soup that were delicious.
After dinner, Xingnuo sneakily took another bite of the ice cream, then went back to his room to sleep contentedly.
The night wind blew in through the window slowly, bringing bursts of warmth.
Xingnuo was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a loud scream coming from the building next door and woke up abruptly.
He opened his eyes and saw that he was still in his familiar home. He breathed a sigh of relief at first, then quickly got up and went to check on his father and brother.
Chen Wen, wearing light-colored pajamas, picked up Xing Nuo who was jogging out, pinched his nose, and explained:
"The college entrance examination results are out, and the person next door shouted excitedly."
Xing Nuo nodded, and his eyelids couldn't help drooping again. Then he remembered something and tried to open his eyes and said:
"Where's the second brother?"
Didn’t Shen Baizhou also produce results?
Shen Wen snorted softly, his tone full of helplessness.
"He's sleeping."
Shen Baizhou was very careless and couldn't even get up to check the results in the middle of the night.
Xingnuo opened his mouth slightly, his eyelids seemed to be sticking together, and he looked up and asked worriedly:
"Go check your grades?"
The next second, Xingnuo tilted his head and fell asleep on his father's shoulder.
Chen Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He held the little guy and prepared to go back to the house to sleep. Just as he put him down, Xing Nuo suddenly climbed up again.
He sat up straight, opened his eyes wide, and tried to stay awake:
"I dreamed that my brother's results came out!"
Shen Wen almost couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, laughed out loud on the spot, coughed lightly, and patted his back soothingly.
"No, Xingnuo, go to bed first and watch it tomorrow."
Xingnuo groaned, and lay down again, breathing shallowly, and fell asleep in a few seconds.
But he did not sleep well, as he dreamed that his second brother only scored 17 points in the exam, and in despair he turned into an octopus in front of him, and was made into takoyaki by the store owner.
"No wow!"
Xingnuo shouted, his dark eyes widened, his sleepiness was scared away again, and he quickly climbed out of bed.
He didn't even have time to put on his slippers and pushed open Shen Baizhou's bedroom door.
The air conditioner in Shen Baizhou's room was turned on very cold, and the water in the water tank was stale, so he didn't jump in for the past two days and just lay in bed and slept.
Xingnuo lifted his brother's summer quilt and touched his forehead with his little head.
“Brother, brother!”
Shen Baizhou woke up in a daze, and seeing that it was Xingnuo, he smiled and said sleepily:
"Xingnuo can't sleep?"
Shen Baizhou's sleep quality is much better than that of humans. When he was on the bottom of the sea, he often slept for several years. After coming to the human world, he can only sleep at night, and his temperament has become lazy.
He pulled the quilt over, wrapped himself and Xingnuo, and patted the little guy's back gently.
"Go to sleep. Brother will sleep with you."
The next second, Shen Baizhou's eyelids closed and he fell into a deep sleep.
In some ways, Xingnuo and Shen Baizhou are worthy of being brothers, as each falls asleep faster than the other.
Xingnuo felt dizzy and sat at the head of Shen Baizhou's bed. He thought for a long time but couldn't remember why he had asked his brother to come.
Then he remembered and continued to push his brother's arm and shouted:
"Brother, wake up! You're going to be made into takoyaki!"
Shen Baizhou didn't wake up at all and was still sleeping peacefully.
Xingnuo sat there blankly for a while, shook his little head to try to wake himself up, then suddenly fell down and fell asleep on the bed.
Shen Wen, who was disturbed by the noise of the two brothers, came out from the bedroom next door.
Chen Wen saw Xing Nuo running to Chen Baizhou's bedroom to sleep. He was puzzled for a moment, but he did not carry Xing Nuo back. He covered the two of them with a blanket and went out.
The sky brightened.
Xingnuo sat up dazed and found himself in his brother's bedroom. He scratched his face and thought for a while, then he remembered!
Takoyaki!
No, it’s the results!
Xing Nuo sighed and hurried to push Shen Baizhou who seemed to be sleeping forever.
"Brother, your results are out!"
The worried younger brother and the sleepy older brother almost made Xingnuo die of worry.
Since the holiday began, Shen Baizhou slept every day until Xingnuo came back from school at noon.
Hearing Xingnuo's voice, he struggled to get up with his legs bent, and sat up yawning.
"It's noon so soon?"
Xingnuo put her hands on her waist and sighed, feeling that her second brother was hopeless.
Shen Yan, who was standing at the door, was wearing a suit and holding a computer. He shook his head and said:
"I checked it out for you. Three hundred and seventy-one points."
Shen Baizhou’s eyes widened instantly: “How much?!”
So high!
Shen Baizhou first looked at the sky outside and found that he was definitely in the human world, so he exclaimed "Fuck" several times.
More than three hundred points, less than four hundred!
This is actually a score that an octopus can get!
Xingnuo clapped his hands like a little seal, and spun around on the spot like a top, his little curly hair swaying back and forth. He was happier than Shen Baizhou.
"That's a lot of points! I only got 300 points on the test!"
Chen Yan thought that was because you only took the Chinese, math and English exams, and the full score was 300.
Shen Baizhou's full score was 750, which was barely halfway through the exam.
Chen Yan put the computer on the table, ignoring Chen Baizhou who was so excited that he wanted to roll in the sea, and pulled Xingnuo out to change his school uniform.
Xingnuo hasn't had its summer vacation yet, but the final exams are in the next two days.
He came to school in his school uniform, sat down, looked at his deskmate An Zimo and said:
"Zimo, my brother got 370 points on the test!"
An Zimo exclaimed, with a starry-eyed expression.
"So amazing! Xingnuo, your brother is a top student!"
Xingnuo smiled and shook his calves, thinking happily that when he grows up, he will also get such a high score!
With such high scores in the exam, my brother will definitely not be made into takoyaki again!
On the way back from school, Xingnuo was shaking his little head happily all the way.
When he got home, Xingnuo was in high spirits. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and went to the refrigerator to look for the ice cream he had hidden yesterday.
After searching at the bottom floor, Xingnuo still couldn't find it.
With a groan, Xingnuo turned his head, only to meet Chen Wen's gaze.
"What are you looking for?"
Xingnuo's eyes widened instantly, and he shook his head and said:
“No!”
Chen Wen smiled gently, grabbed Xingnuo by the back of his collar, and asked him and Shen Baizhou to stand in the corner together as punishment.
"You two were eating ice cream secretly, right? I was wondering why Xingnuo was sneaking towards the refrigerator these past two days."
Xingnuo lowered his head, with his forehead against the wall, and glanced at his father stealthily from the corner of his eye. His little hands and feet were tucked in, and he didn't dare to refute at all.
Shen Baizhou was extremely angry, clenching his fists, and thinking of what Shen Yan said about not complaining, he became furious.
Xingnuo and Shen Baizhou were punished to stand until dinner. They had learned their lesson and behaved well throughout the meal, not daring to say a word.
After eating, Shen Baizhou found Shen Yan in the study, slammed the table, and yelled:
"Didn't you say you wouldn't complain?"
Shen Yan closed the report on the computer, with a sneer on his face, and looked at Shen Baizhou and said:
"Use your brain. This is not what I said. What good would it do if I said it?"
Then, Shen Yan mocked again:
"Besides, you promised not to take Xingnuo to eat ice cream secretly, but what happened? You hid the ice cream in your house. You are quite capable."
Shen Baizhou was at fault first, so he could not help but restrain his temper a little, pursing his lips and said:
"If it's not you, then who is it?"
Shen Yan said, “Whoever knew that you hid ice cream in the refrigerator was the one who told the secret.”
Shen Baizhou instantly thought of someone and frowned:
"Wen Xingxue?"
