After evening self-study, at Heba bungalow.
Xue Yuantong jumped out of the car in a dashing manner and flashed into the main room.
Under Aunt Gu's 'kind' gaze, Xue Yuantong opened the refrigerator wantonly and took out two mung bean ice creams.
The mung beans she cooked and the ice cream she made herself were clean and delicious.
She was generous and gave one to Jiang Ning, and the two of them leaned against the door to eat ice cream.
The summer nights in the countryside are extremely quiet, with almost no noise. The bright and clear moonlight pours down, soft and peaceful.
The wheat fields in the distance have been harvested, and the ground is bare, as if it had been plucked of hair.
In such a refreshing mood, Xue Yuantong took a bite of the ice cream. The icy little tongue dodged around. She said in an ambiguous tone:
"It's almost holiday time."
Jiang Ning hummed softly.
Then, silence fell between the two.
Xue Yuantong ate the ice cream slowly, thinking about how to spend this year's two-month summer vacation.
She knew some classmates who went out to travel around the world during the summer vacation and took a lot of beautiful photos.
Xue Yuantong has never gone out to play, and she doesn't envy others because for her, taking a vacation is the greatest happiness.
In many summer vacations in the past, when her mother went out to work, she stayed at home to take care of the house, do the laundry, clean the house, and watch cartoons on TV.
She has an antenna dish installed at home, which can receive animation channels such as 'KaKu Animation' and 'Golden Eagle Cartoons'.
There are countless wonderful cartoons on both channels.
If she comes across a cartoon she doesn't like, she turns off the TV, goes out to pick wild flowers and grass, or catch cicadas to play with.
At the end of the day, I prepare dinner and eat it together before my mother comes home.
If his mother could bring a side dish when she came back at night, such as some cold dishes from the street, or braised meat dishes, or fried skewers, Xue Yuantong would be extremely happy.
One summer vacation, a rag collector passed by, and Xue Yuantong sold the cardboard and a pile of plastic bottles at home for 10 yuan.
Later, her mother came back and brought her a black-and-white Tetris game console.
There was a tank game in the game console. Xue Yuantong played it every day and killed countless people. Whenever she encountered a boss, she just exerted a little force and killed the boss.
Unfortunately, the battery of the game console ran out of power and she was reluctant to buy new batteries.
It was not until she got a smartphone that she opened up a new world.
After playing with her mobile phone for a year, Xue Yuantong still hasn't had enough. What's more, she can go to Jiang Ning's room to play games and watch movies. While thinking about it, she roughly determined her life during the summer vacation.
As for going out to play, Xue Yuantong did consider it after learning more from Chu Chu's research.
Unfortunately, going out is too expensive, including transportation and hotel accommodation. Xue Yuantong realized how horrible it is just by thinking about it!
After eating the mung bean ice cream, a transparent gray cloud floated in the night sky, and the bright moonlight suddenly became hazy. Soon, the gray cloud dispersed and the warm moonlight fell again.
Jiang Ning returned to his room.
As for Xue Yuantong, she took a bath, changed into a loose nightgown, and swung her slippers, making a "tapping" sound. Under the moonlight, she visited Jiang Ning's room as usual.
Although most of the time she came here just to play games by herself, she felt very safe with Jiang Ning by her side.
In the past, when she was tired of playing games, she could only talk to the flowers on the windowsill. Now, there are not only flowers, but also Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong didn't play any games today. Instead, she found a piece of bubble paper and sat on the sofa to play with it. She broke the bubbles one after another, making a "popping" sound and had a lot of fun.
Jiang Ning looked at her and stretched out his hand: "Let me play with it."
Xue Yuantong tore off a small piece.
Jiang Ning was crushed in two moves.
Xue Yuantong said: "Just listen to me."
As she said this, she kept pressing the buttons, looking extremely happy.
Halfway through pinching, Xue Yuantong suddenly asked: "Jiang Ning, what do you think Chuchu is doing now?"
Jiang Ning extended his consciousness, circled around Xue Chuchu's house, and replied: "She is wasting her time."
"No!" Xue Yuantong counted with his fingers, "From what I understand, Chuchu must be studying!"
It used to be like this often. She was eating while Chuchu was studying. She was watching TV while Chuchu was still studying. In the last exam, she was first and Chuchu was second.
Jiang Ning: "You are wrong."
"Humph, do you know Chu Chu better than me?" Xue Yuantong said confidently, "Let me show you. If I lose, I'll give you the bubble wrap."
After unilaterally confirming the bet, Xue Yuantong led the way and left Jiang Ning's house. She was supposed to go to Chu Chu's house, but she turned around and went to her own house to get an ice cream first.
Aunt Gu: "You can't eat it at night."
Xue Yuantong said confidently: "I'll give it to Chuchu. She's tired from studying, so I'll reward her."
The layout of Xue Chuchu's house is not much different from Tongtong's house. As soon as you enter the door, the room is much brighter and cleaner than before.
Hua Fengmei and her daughter love cleanliness, and they keep the house much better than the previous owner.
Hua Fengmei was tidying up the cabinets in the main room. When she saw Tongtong and Jiang Ning coming, she said gently, "Chuchu is in the room."
Although Hua Fengmei cares a lot about her daughter's academic performance, when facing Sister Gu's family, she never has the idea of disturbing her daughter's studies.
After all, she was able to enter Changqing Liquid Company thanks to Sister Gu's introduction, so how could she forget her roots
As for Jiang Ning, Hua Fengmei had figured out that Sister Gu probably treated him as her son-in-law.
After moving here for a while, she found that Sister Gu even began to discipline Tongtong a little, which would never have happened before.
"Chu Chu, here we come!"
Xue Yuantong opened the door and a cool breeze came from the room. The air conditioner continued to blow out cool air, but this cool breeze was far inferior to the natural coolness in Jiang Ning's room.
"Chu Chu, what's wrong with you?" Xue Yuantong asked puzzledly.
I saw Chuchu leaning on a wooden chair. Her originally fair face became even paler. Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if in pain. She covered her lower abdomen with her hands.
Xue Yuantong: "Did you get sick from eating?"
"Yeah." It was indeed painful and uncomfortable, Xue Chuchu answered briefly.
Xue Yuantong felt regretful that her bubble wrap lost to Jiang Ning.
As the saying goes, where there is loss, there is gain. The ice cream that was originally given to Chuchu was enjoyed by her alone.
She tasted the ice cream, "Have you taken your medicine?"
"have eaten."
"Still hurts?"
Chuchu didn't say anything, but her expression showed that she was in so much pain that she couldn't continue studying.
Xue Yuantong sat by the bed and analyzed: "I remember you ate some bread this morning. The bread was bought on Friday. Is it related to the bread?"
Xue Chuchu didn’t know either, she just wanted the stomachache to go away quickly.
Seeing that she was in severe pain, Xue Yuantong recalled how she relieved her stomachache. Oh, it seemed that Jiang Ning rubbed her stomach.
In order to get better soon, Xue Yuantong blurted out:
"Chu Chu, let Jiang Ning help you, it's so comfortable to rub your belly!"
Hearing this, Xue Chuchu was stunned, and two blushes quickly appeared on her pale face. How could this be possible
Her cold eyes were filled with shame, and she waved her hands hastily to refuse: "No, no."
…
The next morning.
Xue Yuantong got up later than usual because she participated in the small dining table program and didn't have to cook for herself.
After brushing her teeth, she ran to Chuchu's house.
Xue Chuchu gets up very early. She doesn't need to go to school for morning self-study, but she does it at home. She has strong self-control and can maintain self-discipline regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter.
"Chu Chu, does your stomach still hurt?" Xue Yuantong asked with concern.
"Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore." Xue Chuchu said. She didn't believe Tongtong's nonsense yesterday, about letting Jiang Ning rub her belly. In Xue Chuchu's opinion, that kind of intimate thing can only be done after marriage.
She managed to get through last night solely through willpower, as she had always done in the past.
"It's good that it doesn't hurt anymore." Xue Yuantong was happy for her.
Xue Chuchu was also relieved in her heart. Although Tongtong was often not sensible, he still cared about her.
"Then Chuchu, have you found the cause of your stomachache?"
"No."
Xue Chuchu had just prepared breakfast, a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles, sprinkled with some fragrant sesame oil, which looked very appetizing.
Xue Yuantong swallowed quietly and suggested: "Oh, why don't you eat some more bread and see if it's the bread that's the problem."
She added: "We need to find the culprit and eliminate it."
Xue Chuchu: "...Tongtong, I decided to have noodles for breakfast."
