Shen Nian’s eyes, which had just closed, opened again in shock. They met his mother’s eyes. Their expressions were identical. In an instant, the mother and son simultaneously closed their eyes again and pretended not to have heard anything.
Lian Jing would not insist on discussing this matter in their son’s presence. He just wanted to scare that brat who dared to disobey his father.
Lian Jing clearly felt the soft body in his arms stiffen for a moment when he said that. Only then did he hug his wife and comfortably drift off to sleep.
The next day, when Shen Nian arrived at school, he was caught by Cheng Mu, who had been waiting at the school gate.
The little girl’s chubby little face beamed as she looked at the boy, who was a full head shorter than her. She patted his head and said, “You’re finally here. If you came any later, my legs would have gone numb from standing.”
Shen Nian looked up and glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. He reached out to push her arm away and asked coldly, “Why are you waiting for me?”
“I’m waiting for you to repay me,” Cheng Mu said matter-of-factly. She had helped him so much that night, but he had not even thanked her.
Shen Nian did not stop. He tightened his grip on his bag strap that lay across his chest. “What do you want?”
Cheng Mu thought for a while in frustration. Suddenly, she thought of something and her eyes widened. “Why don’t you give me a thoughtful present? I like receiving gifts!”
This time, Shen Nian stopped in his tracks and looked at her. His face was still cold and distant. “Anything?”
Cheng Mu nodded readily and said, “As long as it’s from you, anything is fine.”
“Okay.” Shen Nian agreed. This was not difficult. Besides, it was true that Cheng Mu had helped him a lot this time. He should repay her.
Cheng Mu was very happy that Shen Nian had agreed to her request so easily. She had thought that she would have to spend more time and act more shamelessly to get him to agree, but to her surprise, it had been so simple.
This joy lasted until it was time for class. Cheng Mu could not even focus on what the teacher was saying in class. Her eyes were fixed on Shen Nian’s back in a daze, secretly fantasizing about what gift he would give her.
As Shen Nian had skipped a grade to come to this class, he was much younger than his classmates, so the teacher arranged for him to sit in the first row. Cheng Mu stared at the back of his head, but the teacher did not notice anything wrong. But the boy who shared her desk sensed that something was wrong.
He realized that Cheng Mu was especially serious in class today. She was so serious that even when the teacher asked her to lower her head to read, she kept staring blankly at the blackboard.
Cui Hao followed her gaze and realized that she was looking at the shortie in class. He was instantly furious.
He nudge Cheng Mu fiercely. He wanted her to stop daydreaming and staring at the little boy, but he misjudged his strength. Cheng Mu was so frightened that she screamed and stood up.
Everyone froze and looked at her. Cheng Mu hugged her chest angrily and pointed at his nose as she demanded, “Why did you insult me for no reason? How dare you touch me… Touch me here? Do you want to die?!”
Cui Hao’s face was already completely red. He panicked as the students around him looked over. He stammered and tried to explain. When his gaze met Shen Nian’s cold gaze, his face suddenly darkened. He slammed the table and stood up righteously. “It’s your fault for being distracted in class! I’m wanted to remind you not to look at Shen Nian when you should be reading!”
“Who, who’s looking at Shen Nian?” Cheng Mu widened her eyes and gave Cui Hao an incredulous look to shut him up. From the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Nian turn around expressionlessly. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in.
The other students immediately burst into laughter. Most students in the class knew that Cheng Mu especially liked to stick to Shen Nian. This time, Cui Hao had been publicly embarrassed. Cheng Mu felt as uncomfortable as if she was being roasted over a fire.
The teacher frowned and smacked the lectern in displeasure. “Alright, sit down and listen quietly. Stop fooling around.”
The two of them could only sit down awkwardly. Cheng Mu glared fiercely at Cui Hao and turned her head away in a fit of pique, refusing to look at him again.
She was only worried that Shen Nian would be angry because of what had happened just now. She looked at his red ears and felt that he was adorable.
Cui Hao gritted his teeth, but he did not dare to cause her any more trouble. He could only watch as she sat down and continued to stare at Shen Nian in the front row. He secretly made a mental note of that shortie.
After class, Cui Hao stood in front of Shen Nian with a serious expression. “I have something to tell you. Come out with me for a while.”
The surrounding students who were waiting to watch a good show were no longer in a hurry to leave. Such a good show was not to be missed.
Cheng Mu angrily pushed away the students in front of her. She stood beside Cui Hao and scolded in a coquettish voice, “Hey, why bully a child? You’re four years older than Nian Nian and you’re making trouble for him. Have you no shame?”
