The three people walked home together directly, without going anywhere else halfway.
It had been years since Shi Yan had gone home with her younger brother. Now that she saw him obediently heading home after school, she felt quite uncomfortable.
All the way, Lu Lili and Shi Chao were talking.
It wasn’t that Lu Lili wanted to ignore Shi Yan, but Shi Chao had too many questions to ask Lu Lili.
“Lili, I heard today that the teacher originally wanted to assign you to our Class 7. How did you end up in Class 5?”
While walking, Shi Chao turned his head slightly to look at Lu Lili. His face was expressionless, but there was a hint of resentment and regret in his tone.
Wang Zhiguang found out and told him.
Wang Zhiguang was interested in the beautiful transfer student in Class 5, so he went to inquire about some information and happily shared it with Shi Chao.
After listening, Shi Chao only replied, “You did a good job finding out. Remember to call her sister-in-law when you see her in the future.”
Wang Zhiguang instantly became unhappy, and he looked up at the sky with a questioning expression, saying, “Oh, why?!”
Of course, Shi Chao wouldn’t say why.
Lu Lili blinked and answered truthfully, “Because I want to be in the same class as Yanyan, to have a companion.”
When Shi Chao glanced at Shi Yan, who had been keeping her head down, he thought about how rare it was for his sister to make a friend, so he stopped dwelling on that issue.
“So why did you suddenly transfer here? Did something happen at home?”
He was very interested in everything about her, to the point where he wanted to keep his gaze glued to her face.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the school gate, he accidentally stumbled because he wasn’t paying attention to the road, which suddenly rose higher.
Lu Lili, quick to react, grabbed his arm and couldn’t help but cry and laugh, saying, “Shi Chao, be careful, you must watch where you’re walking!”
The road was not on her face, so there was no point in looking at her.
Upon witnessing Shi Chao’s near stumble just now, Shi Yan couldn’t control herself and turned her head silently to the other side, pursing her lips as she chuckled.
At this moment, Shi Yan realized that she was also quite wicked, finding joy in her brother’s misfortune.
Of course, it was only because he was fine that she could find joy in it.
With a little help from Lu Lili’s strength, Shi Chao quickly regained his balance.
In fact, he just stumbled a bit and didn’t fall down at all, so Shi Chao didn’t pay any attention to it.
He only cared about Lu Lili’s answer.
Lu Lili sighed.
Thinking about the family situation of the siblings Shi Yan and Shi Chao, she decided to portray herself as more pitiful.
As long as everyone is equally pitiful, the distance between them can be instantly narrowed.
With this thought in mind, Lu Lili’s voice carried a touch of sadness. “It’s because my parents got divorced.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Yan and Shi Chao could guess what had happened.
They couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at Lu Lili, their eyes filled with a sense of empathy.
They were all unfortunate children from broken families.
Lu Lili continued with a tone of sadness, “My younger brother stayed with my father in our hometown. I came here with my mother, enduring a journey of over six hours by car, to start a new life.
“But my mother is very busy with work. She rarely has time to be with me at home because her job requires frequent business trips.”
After the moment of sadness, Lu Lili became strong again. “But it’s okay. I’m not a child anymore. I can take care of myself!
“My mother has her own work and life, and I have my own studies and life. We are both independent individuals who can exist without relying on anyone!”
