Chapter 40: Being a daughter-in-law is not bad

The evening self-study class was about politics. Lin Shuliang's hands were sore from writing. She was only one question away from finishing. Luo Yun just stared at her blankly.

Lin Shuliang reminded her: "The exam is almost over, why don't you start writing?"

"I can't! I'm really annoyed by this whole philosophy thing. It's so confusing."

"It's up to you." Lin Shuliang lowered her head and answered the question.

After handing in the papers, the political science teacher pointed at Luo Yun's paper and said, "Luo Yun! You still can't recite this philosophy, right? Don't leave, come back here!"

Luo Yun thought he could get away with it, but he turned around and ran into Lin Shuliang. "Luo Yun, this booklet is for you. You must memorize the first page by tomorrow. If you can't, I will accompany you tonight."

"Tomorrow is the school anniversary." Luo Yun said weakly, "I'll recite it the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, then let's memorize page 3 the day after tomorrow," said Lin Shuliang.

Luo Yun was still complaining when a boy came over and asked, "Are you Lin Shuliang?"

"Yes, I am."

"I often see you and Xinghe walking together. I want to tell you that Xinghe was not acting right during his self-study tonight and left immediately afterwards. His schoolbag is still in the classroom."

How could Shen Xinghe do such a thing?

Lin Shuliang felt something was wrong. "Thank you, classmate. I'll go help him pack his schoolbag later. He has something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

Luo Yun looked at her and smiled, "Are you guys planning on going on a date?"

"Go away, go back and memorize your lessons well."

After saying that, Lin Shuliang hurried to class one. Most people had left, and a few were still discussing topics. She walked in quietly and packed up Shen Xinghe's things.

There was only a notebook on his desk. Lin Shuliang didn't want to read it and accidentally dropped it on the ground. She happened to turn to the page with words on it. It was written by Shen Xinghe:

Since you've already left, why come back?

It seems to be related to his mother.

While she was in a daze, the class of students who were giving lectures dispersed. Xu Chen saw Lin Shuliang there, "Why are you in our class?"

"I'll help Shen Xinghe carry his schoolbag."

"He has no hands, so he asked you to get them."

Because of his fanning favor, Lin Shuliang spoke to him in a much better manner, "We live close by, it's just something that's easy for me to do. I'll leave first."

"Shuliang, see you tomorrow." Xu Chen leaned on the table, his hair covering half of his eyes.

Lin Shuliang pointed at his hair and said, "You should get your hair cut."

Xu Chen turned toward the window and posed in front of the glass, "Very handsome."

Lin Shuliang knew where to find Shen Xinghe, but she had to tell her mother first so that she wouldn't have to wait.

She borrowed the security guard's phone and called her mother, "Mom, we have a competition tomorrow, spend more time practicing today, you should go back soon, Shen Xinghe is waiting for me."

Her mother should be in the hospital. "I haven't been there yet. I'm just about to leave. In that case, you should just take a taxi back. Don't stay. Come out with your classmates. Oh, and take a taxi."

"I see. Is grandma feeling unwell again?"

"Yeah, don't worry, it's okay. If it really doesn't work, lend me your phone and call me later, and I'll pick you up."

"Really? I'm hanging up now. My classmates are waiting for me."

"Shuliang, call me when you get home. I may not be able to go home tonight."

It looked like her grandmother was seriously ill. "It's okay, Mom. You don't have to worry about me."

Her grandmother is over 80 years old. She used to come to her house often, but now she goes to the hospital more often.

She had to make her mother worry less and not cause any trouble. But now it was Shen Xinghe who was causing trouble for her.

Lin Shuliang, carrying two schoolbags, went straight to a small pavilion opposite their middle school. In the past, they often went there to buy a lot of food.

There is a river next to the pavilion, and there are many barbecue stalls on the riverside. The pavilion is at the foot of the mountain, and there are stairs on both sides, winding around, and many couples go there for dates.

Lin Shuliang just got downstairs when a gangster stopped her and said, "Beauty, are you here to have fun? Come to our place, I guarantee you'll have fun."

"Get lost!" Lin Shuliang looked at him coldly, with undisguised coldness in her eyes.

She doesn't seem like someone who is easy to approach.

She ran towards the small pavilion, and when she reached the middle, she smelled smoke, which was quite dark. She could see a spark of fire, which was smoke.

She called out: "Shen Xinghe"

When the fire disappeared, Lin Shuliang was sure that this person was Shen Xinghe.

"Go home. I've brought you your schoolbag. You can go back and do your homework now." Lin Shuliang threw the schoolbag to him.

Shen Xinghe was sitting on the railing and didn't catch his schoolbag, so it fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

"Why are you here?" Shen Xinghe's voice was hoarse and tired.

Lin Shuliang picked up her schoolbag and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go downstairs to eat some skewers."

Shen Xinghe was pulled down by her and sat in front of the barbecue stall. She said to the boss, "Boss, it's the same old rule. This is what we eat often. Bring us one portion first."

"Okay!"

The man who had just been pestering her was eating at this restaurant. When he saw Lin Shuliang, he stole a few glances at her.

Lin Shuliang didn't ask anything, and just kept asking Shen Xinghe to eat, "I'm going to compete tomorrow, do you want to come and watch?"

"I'll go if you ask me to."

"Okay, please, Brother Xinghe." She did not forget to hold the skewers, make a cute gesture, and grill them on her head to make bunny ears.

Shen Xinghe couldn't help laughing, "That's enough!"

"Great, you finally smiled. After eating this, go home. My mother will pinch me to death if she finds out I lied to her."

He didn't eat much, he just watched Lin Shuliang eat.

"Let's go." Lin Shuliang said contentedly.

When the man saw them about to leave, he started to harass them, "Little girl, don't leave. You haven't had a drink with me yet."

There were a lot of people there, and several of them were staring at them and laughing.

Shen Xinghe held the school uniform in one hand. He wanted to walk in front of Lin Shuliang, but she pulled him back, "Let me show you how I teach them."

"Sure, bring the wine. You can only come here alone. There are so many of you surrounding us. Do you want to bully us students?"

"Wait here, I'll be right there." The man turned around and poured the wine, sprinkling some powder into it.

Lin Shuliang had already seen his little move. He raised his glass and said, "Cheers."

Lin Shuliang shook her beer and looked at his wretched expression, "Do you think I'm young and easy to bully?"

"No, don't talk about my brother like that. Come on, drink the wine first." He wanted to make some moves, but was slapped back by Shen Xinghe.

Lin Shuliang looked at his wretched appearance, with white powder precipitated at the bottom of the cup. She splashed the wine on his face and said, "Are you worthy of drinking with me?"

"Fuck! Girl, wait and see how I deal with you."

Lin Shuliang pulled Shen Xinghe and said, "Run, idiot."

A group of people were chasing them from behind. Shen Xinghe saw that she was smiling very happily: "Are you stupid? Why don't you just leave?"

"No, you need a place to vent. That way, you won't be sad and you can just run for your life."

If they weren't running, Shen Xinghe might have been unable to resist hugging her, this silly girl.

They ran along the street, with the people behind them still chasing them.

Lin Shuliang saw a small gap at the bend and took Shen Xinghe through it.

Shen Xinghe was carrying a schoolbag and couldn't get in for a long time. Lin Shuliang threw his schoolbag on the ground and pulled him in with force.

The space was neither too big nor too small, and the two of them were just able to fit face to face.

The atmosphere became very subtle. The narrow space made it difficult to breathe. The noise and car sounds on the street could not overcome Shen Xinghe's heavy breathing.

There was very little space between them, and the rise and fall of his chest made it difficult for Lin Shuliang to put her face. She leaned against his chest and said, "Breathe slower. It's annoying."

The girl's feminine characteristics were already very obvious. She was so close to Shen Xinghe that Shen Xinghe could completely feel her...

As a result, my heart beat faster, even faster than when I was running just now.

Lin Shuliang was leaning against his dirty heart, "Why is your heart beating so fast?"

"There's something called a defibrillator, which uses strong shocks to restore the heartbeat. You're too heavy. My heartbeat had calmed down, but because of your heavy shock, it started again." Shen Xinghe said with a faint smile.

The group of people came over, and Lin Shuliang stepped hard on Shen Xinghe's foot, "You said I'm heavy again!"

Shen Xinghe bit his lip, not daring to make a sound, "Lin Shuliang, are you looking for death?"

She was not willing to be outdone and raised her head proudly, "Bite me!"

Face to face, their faces were almost touching, their lips were only a few centimeters apart. Shen Xinghe looked at her for two seconds, then raised his head hard, "I don't bite dirty things."

Lin Shuliang didn't know what was wrong with her. She bit his chest and said, "I'm different. I won't get sick if I eat something that's not clean."

“……”How unforgiving.

The group looked around and asked, "Where have these two brats gone?"

"Forget it, brother. Why are you arguing with two students? Just go back."

"Let's go, it's my bad luck."

The footsteps faded away, and the two of them came out. Shen Xinghe covered the place where she had bitten him, "Are you a dog? Your bite hurts so much."

"It hurts so much that I made you run around. You're in your third year of high school and you don't study hard. Why are you acting so petty?" Lin Shuliang looked like she was giving him a lecture.

Shen Xinghe knew that she was deliberately not saying anything and not asking, but now, he wanted to say, "Her daughter came to see me."

"Your mother"

"Who else but her?"

"Where is her daughter going to find you?"

“She came to my school to see me.”

"Then..." Seeing that he looked unhappy, Lin Shuliang did not continue to ask, "What does that have to do with you? You are a good candidate in our school. At this stage, nothing can delay your college entrance examination. Even if a top student like you can be delayed, I can't. You still have to give me extra lessons!"

"This young man is teachable and is making great progress now."

Lin Shuliang raised her eyebrows, "That's not the case."

When they got home, Shen's father was standing at the door waiting for them. When Lin Shuliang saw Shen Xinghe coming back, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen's father.

But Shen Xinghe's attitude was not very good.

Lin Shuliang was afraid that they would quarrel, so she ran over and took Father Shen's hand, "Uncle Shen, I have to rehearse today and make Xinghe wait for me."

Father Shen liked her, and his tense face softened a little, "Is our champion going to compete again?"

"Hahaha, yeah."

“Also pay attention to study…”

Shen Xinghe thought they looked more like father and daughter, inexplicably harmonious.

He changed his mind and decided that it didn't have to be a daughter, being a daughter-in-law would also be nice.
