A mother who used her son to take revenge was inherently selfish and it would be strange if Cao Shu could think of sending food to her brother.
Shi Ning didnât care to finish her meal and took her motherâs hand.
âIâll take you to my brother.â
Shi Ning rushed to the door of Shi Chenâs classroom just as the bell rang for the end of class.
Senior three students donât even seems to eat so actively and a third stay in the classroom to review the questions.
Shi Chen walked out of the classroom door, followed by two boys.
âNing Ning?â
As soon as he went out, he saw his sister waiting at the door as well asâ¦. his stepmother.
âShi Chen, your sister is here to see you and this one behind her isâ¦is the aunt right?â
The classmate behind Shi Chen poked his head out and smiled politely at Lin Xuemo.
âHello auntie mother!â
Another boy who followed him also said.
âIt seems that Shi Chen is blessed today, there is a mother who brings you food. We will go to the canteen first!â
Shi Chen nodded, and the two waved their hands at him and left first.
The three of them stood in the corridor and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Lin Xuemo handed the thermos to Shi Ning to take and said to Shi Chen.
âYou study hard, auntie made you some food. You can eat if you want. It doesnât matter if you donât want to.â
Shi Ning who was listening felt pain for Lin Xuemo for a second.
She thought.
âWhat do you mean it doesnât matter if you donât want to eat?â
Mom you are too humble!
Shi Ning stepped forward and directly shoved the lunch box into his brotherâs hand.
âMy mother made it for you by herself, I was able to eat it because of brother. You have to eat it whether you want to eat it or not, you should eat more if you study hard! Got it?â
This domineering tone sounded spoiled.
The little girl was also becoming more and more lawless in front him.
âOkay, got it.â
Shi Chen hugged the thermos and walked into the classroom.
Shi Ning pulled Lin Xuemo and they all walked in together.
When Shi Chen opened the lunchbox and was still slightly shocked when he saw the layer of so many dishes.
âYou made all of these?â
Li Xuemo: âWell, they are some home-cooked dishes that I used to be good at, now I only cook them less. The taste may not be as good as before.â
Shi Chen picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth to taste.
He didnât make any comments but reading on his expression it should have tasted good. At least he didnât show any dissatisfied expression.
âIs it good brother?â
Shi Ning asked.
Shi Chen knew his sister was asking for his stepmother, he glanced sideways at Shi Ning. His gaze telling her.
Donât think I donât know what youâre thinking.
âJust tell me if itâs good.â
She wouldnât relent.
Shi Chen was helpless, he whispered.
âDelicious.â
Lin Xuemo smiled and the atmosphere immediately eased a lot.
âEat more, youâre so tired in your senior year. You should eat more to replenish your body. This fish soup and this pork tripe soup are good for your health. Eat more quickly.â
Shi Chenâs barrier against Lin Xuemo has not been completely eliminated but as soon as she become enthusiastic he was unable to put down his chopsticks.
âMom, donât you have other things to do? Why donât you get busy first? Iâll eat with my brother. Donât worry Iâll make sure he finishes them.â
Shi Ning said at this time.
Lin Xuemo nodded along with her words.
âOkay, then mommy will go first. Ning Ning you bring the box home tonight.â
Only after Lin Xuemo left Shi Chen seemed to be relieved. Siting on the stool to eat peacefully and doesnât need to awkwardly say how delicious food was..
âNot to mention, your motherâs cooking is really delicious.â
Shi Chen said.
Shi Ning propped her chin to watch him eat.
âThatâs natural, and you should be able to feel it too mom is concerned about you. Sheâs just afraid to express it for fear of annoying you more.â
Shi Chen chopsticks paused.
âBut I have a mother after all.â
If his parentâs divorce was really because of Lin Xuemo he would have not been able to fully accept this woman in his life.
Justâ¦
Shi Ning was right, putting aside the grudges of previous generation. He really could not pick even a slight problem with Lin Xuemo.
Even for her bad-tempered stepson, she was also tolerant and even thought to do some motherly duties to care for him.
âForget it, letâs not talk about such things. She is your mother, I promise you that I would not make things difficult for her in the future.â
Shi Chen said.
People were not plants1, Lin Xuemo has not mistreated Shi Chen for so many year, she could be said to be a model stepmother.
She believes that Shi Chen was not without feelings.
Shi Ning knew her brother does not like this topic and did not continue to talk.
âBrother, our class is already deciding to divide between arts and science.â
Shi Ning said.
âHmm.â
Shi Chen responded as he continue eating his meal.
âWhat do you think should I choose, arts or science?â
Shi Chen raised his head and looked at her.
âDonât talk nonsense. You must choose liberal arts, your liberal arts is so good. What else will you chose if not liberal arts?â
âIâm not bad at science, and I want to learn mathematics competition problems but only science students can enter the competition.â
âIf you go back and make a set of science college entrance examination papers, you will know how difficult it is for you to get the score of your liberal arts.â
âYour freshman year in senior high school is just the simplest. Choose the right one that suits you.â
He thinks that studying science would not be easy, high school was just the beginning later on college science students were a lot more miserable than liberal arts students.
He just wants his sister to take the easier road, so he doesnât want her to go bald for math and science later.
âI was going to take liberal arts too but I didnât want to give up the math competition.â
It was so hard for her.
Shi Chen said in a light voice.
âThen donât give up. Who said arts students canât enter competitions? There is no such rule, right?â
??
But in the past, she only heard science students engaging in mathematics competition beside which liberal arts student would take trouble to do this?
Her brother was really a genius.
âThereâs no precedent for this in our school, is there?â
Shi Chen didnât care and said.
âThen youâll set this precedent. Someone will always be the first, itâs no big deal.â
Shi Ning felt surprised and vaguely excited at the same time.
She seems to have finally found a solution to her problem.
âBut can I?â
