When Lu Lili lowered her head and saw that the laces of both her shoes were tied nicely, she knew she had been tricked.
She placed her hands on her hips and chuckled as she glared at the seemingly serious young man, “Little Brother Shi Chao, your hands are very itchy, huh?”
—If you really itch for mischief, I wouldn’t mind using the martial arts you taught me from the first world to help loosen your muscles!
Seeing that Shi Yan kept watching from the side and didn’t leave, Shi Chao had to abandon his impulsive thoughts.
He turned back to Lu Lili again, “Lili, I just want you to promise me one thing before you go back.”
However, from his somewhat dissatisfied tone, it could be sensed that his thoughts were not that simple.
Lu Lili readily responded, “What is it? Tell me.”
Shi Chao bent down close to her, his tone suddenly gentle, “First, you are my girlfriend, and then you can be my Sister’s good friend, alright?”
“Sure, no problem,” Lu Lili couldn’t help but laugh, thinking he was jealous even of her sister.
But Shi Chao’s tone immediately changed, and there was a hint of accomplishment in his eyes, “Then quickly call me Brother Shi Chao!”
“…” The truth turned out to be like this?
“Our1 birthdays are both on the first day of the first lunar month. Among our peers, our birth month is undoubtedly the first. Lili, calling me Brother won’t demean you.”
“…” Can’t she pretend not to hear it?
Lu Lili’s figure flashed as she passed by Shi Chao’s side, swiftly inserting her key into the door to open it.
“Oh, I just remembered that I should go back and check if I turned off the gas at home!”
Lu Lili said this to Shi Chao while opening the door.
Seeing her looking as if she wanted to escape, Shi Chao found her incredibly adorable.
“Yanyan, see you tomorrow~”
As Lu Lili was about to enter the house and close the door, she smiled and said to Shi Yan.
Shi Chao : “…” Such a stark difference in treatment!
Facing her younger brother’s somewhat chilly gaze, Shi Yan silently lowered her head, turned around, and slowly took out the key to open the door.
On that day, even Shi Yan herself didn’t realize that her thoughts were more active than usual.
After Lu Lili took out some vegetables from the refrigerator and cooked herself a meal, and comfortably took a hot bath, Zhao Fen finally came home after finishing work.
Today, she also left work early, mainly because she wanted to come back and check on her daughter’s situation at the new school.
When she saw traces of cooked food in the kitchen and noticed Lu Lili diligently sitting at her desk doing homework, she understood that her daughter’s claim of being sensible was not a lie.
Compared to before when she had to force her daughter to read the textbook every day, now her daughter willingly took the initiative to study, which indeed made her feel relieved.
As parents, there is no one who doesn’t hope for their children to be self-disciplined and easy to deal with.
After all, they were already busy and worked hard outside every day to earn a living. Coming home and having to deal with unruly kids was simply an unbearable suffering!
When it was already late at night, Zhao Fen prepared a cup of warm milk and placed it on the desk, then gently touched the hair of the studious girl.
“Lili, are you getting used to the new environment? How are the teachers and classmates at school?”
“They are all good, Mom. I really like it here.”
Lu Lili answered and continued to focus on her studies. Her serious appearance almost made Zhao Fen forget that her daughter used to have bad grades.
“That’s good then. It’s getting late now, drink your milk and go to sleep. Don’t strain your eyes.”
“Okay, good night, Mom.”
Lu Lili obediently followed her Mom’s instructions, drank the milk, brushed her teeth, and then went to sleep.
