The next morning, Ye Cheng fell asleep and woke up naturally.

Since he started preparing for the exam, he hasn’t slept more than eight hours a day for a long time.

The moment he opened his eyes, all the muscles in his body felt sore and weak as if they had been broken up.

It feels like excessive indulgence.

Covering his drunk and aching head, he reluctantly got up from the unfamiliar big bed.

Dark gray silk sheets, rubbing light on his bare legs.

He looked under the quilt, and he was only wearing a wide T-shirt.

Ye Cheng is different from Lu Xiao. He will not forget after drinking too much, and he still remembers some details very clearly.

For example, he called Meng Li “mother-in-law”

For example, in front of Meng Li, he twisted Lu Xiao’s ears and reprimanded him;

For example, before he went to bed, he thought that the floor heating in the room was too hot, so he refused Lu Xiao’s proposal to put on pants for him.

……

Ye Cheng took a few deep breaths and patted his cheek expressionlessly.

It doesn’t matter, as long as you don’t feel embarrassed, it’s them who are embarrassed.

Haha, isn’t he just drunk, who hasn’t been drunk a few times.

He spent 20 minutes, did enough psychological construction, and was about to get out of bed to wash, when Lu Xiao pushed the door and entered.

“Are you up? I wondered if you passed out.” A malicious voice sounded.

Ye Cheng looked up.

Lu Xiao wore a black low-necked sweater with a thin shoulder line, revealing half of the collarbone and baggy trousers stacked at his feet.
With his hands in his pockets, he leaned against the door and looked at Ye Cheng lazily.

Even if he is not fully awake, it is enough to make a person refreshed and enlightened.

However, the black circle at the bottom of his eyes shows that the owner doesn’t seem to be resting well.

Ye Cheng slowly slid off the bed, pretending that nothing happened, and said nonchalantly, “You got up early.”

Lu Xiao smiled calmly, raised his index finger and shook it: “No, it’s not that I got up early, it’s that I didn’t sleep at all.”

“Ah? Are you having insomnia?” Ye Cheng wondered.

Lu Xiao smiled, gritted his teeth, and said, “Ye Cheng, do you know how bad your sleeping posture is?”

“You kicked me off the bed three times, put your foot in my face five times, and said that I was dreaming and called me a faceless bastard.”

When he talked about this, he was so angry that even his nose was inciting, obviously these
were not made up.

Ye Cheng was stunned, and immediately grabbed him and retorted: “How is it possible, your bed is so big, I can kick you off?”

The king size in the bedroom is really big, and even if a few adults roll on it, no one won’t fall off.

Lu Xiao was angry: “You kept sticking to me, cornering me and kicking me out of bed. Ha, I think you are actually awake, right? You just want to kick me, right?”

Ye Cheng guiltily avoided his glare, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Taking advantage of the righteousness of washing up, he fled and locked himself in the bathroom, slamming Lu Xiao out.

The only thing that made Ye Cheng happy was that when they went downstairs to eat, Meng Li had already left.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to face her, otherwise he would rather be hungry all day than take half a step out of the door.

Mrs. Wang once again offered up her specialty crab roe dumplings and greeted them warmly for brunch.

Under Lu Xiao’s glaring gaze, he endured the boredom and ate all the dumplings.

After eating, Ye Cheng visited this unfamiliar house for a while.

He never knew before that Lu Xiao lived in this area.

In his impression, there is only the old house of the Lu family, which is arrogant and majestic, but it always has a gloomy atmosphere in the dead of night.

Back then, he didn’t control Lu Xiao and let him force his opponent to bankruptcy.

The old man punished the two of them to kneel in the ancestral hall all night, making them face the wall and reflect on their mistakes.

Outside the ancestral hall is a corridor with antique lanterns hanging, and it is raining lightly outside.

Lu Xiao had no intention of facing the wall. With the darkness inside, he pressed him in the corner and asked him to use his hands to help him.

Originally, Ye Cheng didn’t need to kneel with him, but he saw Lu Xiao feel distressed, and the old man had to punish him to kneel together.

Last night, he was so drunk that he felt he went back to the old house.

After visiting the house, Lu Xiao dragged Ye Cheng to help him make up lessons.

Because of his unbridled behavior yesterday, Ye Cheng could only follow his request.

Lu Xiao’s exam textbook was finally in tatters, and the pages were all copied from his notes.

Ye Cheng ate the cakes that Mrs. Wang made for him, sat on the desk and read “Optimized 28 Sets” that he had made.

“This question is wrong.” He pointed.

When Lu Xiao watched him eat snacks with his legs crossed, and he had to listen to his admonitions scratching his head, he felt unbalanced.

It was Ye Cheng who was compensating him, so why was it the other way around?
“I want to eat too.” He protested dissatisfied.

Ye Cheng kidnapped all the dim sum, with a non-negotiable tone: “I’ll give it to you when it’s done.”

“Hey, this is my house.” Lu Xiao was bullied by him riding on his head, but he wasn’t too angry.

“Sister Wang made this for me.” Ye Cheng didn’t frighten him, “You eat it every day, and you want to grab it from me.”

Lu Xiao said, “I can’t eat every day, she just came back.”

Ye Cheng asked, “Does she not live here?”

There is a special nanny room on the first floor, and Mrs. Wang seems to be very familiar with him, not like a part-time worker or a temporary aunt.

Lu Xiao was silent for a moment, looking like he didn’t really want to answer this question.

Ye Cheng didn’t ask any further questions, as if remembering ‌‌, and asked, “By the way, if I moved here during the winter vacation, would it be inconvenient? Your mother has already returned.”

Although he was dizzy yesterday, he still remembered that there was a faint noise downstairs.

“It doesn’t matter.” Lu Xiao said nonchalantly, “My mother goes to California to find my father every winter. I don’t know when she will go this year. We should be the only two at home.”

Ye Cheng tentatively asked, “What’s the relationship between your parents? Is your father not staying in the country?”

Lu Xiao sneered: “Relationship? Hmph, they are desperately trying to support a relationship that hasn’t been divorced yet. They are an arranged marriage, and they each have their own way after giving birth to me. They don’t have any family values.”

He said it so bluntly that Ye Cheng didn’t know how to answer it.

But he was a little puzzled. If they were playing their own way, then why would Lu Yaoshan still use violence against Meng Li?

Judging from yesterday, Meng Li was indeed unhappy, but she covered herself and he couldn’t see any scars on her body.

Could it be that Jiang Yirong guessed wrong?

Seeing his expression, Lu Xiao was just curious.

He then explained: “My mother doesn’t seem to care on the surface, but in fact she does. Fortunately, my dad only flies back once or twice a year, otherwise I’d go crazy listening to them quarrel every day.”

Ye Cheng has never experienced the quarrel between his parents, but he can understand his feelings.

He touched Lu Xiao’s head and said, “Sad.”

“I’m not sad.” Lu Xiao looked at him strangely, “Can you not touch me like a dog every time?”
Ye Cheng withdrew his hand unnaturally. He was always troubled by some habitual movements, and he always forgot that he was facing the eighteen-year-old.

After Lu Xiao was stared at by him and completed a set of questions, he was rewarded with a piece of butterfly cake.

When Ye Cheng fed him the cake with two fingers, Lu Xiao felt like he was spoiling him again.

But this time he endured it, probably because the cake is so delicious.

Forget it, he won’t bother with him.

January arrived in Nandu

The first snow in early winter was accompanied by a vigorous Hong Kong Certificate of Education examination.

It was vigorous, because the situation was full of difficulties during the exam.

The examination room of No. 13 high school is in the relatively remote No. 7 high School. Everyone needs to take the school bus to go there.

On the day of the trip, the school bus forgot that three people were in No. 7 high School.

On the second day of the exam, two more people did not bring their admission tickets, and one lost their temporary ID card.

Fortunately, Xu Chao had foresight and felt that these people did not seem to have the ability to take care of themselves.
So the night before the exam, everyone’s admission tickets and ID cards were collected.

On the day of the exam, he stood in the lobby on the first floor and their thing was handed out.

Every time someone sends a message, they have to shout: “Come on! I wish you success!”

The other classes were not escorted by teachers, so Class 20 became a unique sight.

When everyone got the documents, they surrounded Ye Cheng. They breathed desperately, trying to bathe in the brilliance of the test god.

One of them touched him, and went to the examination room with satisfaction. The class was envious.

Lu Xiao and Jiang Jin were assigned to the same test room, and they were still fighting before entering.

“If you touch him again, I will chop off your hand.” Lu Xiao punched him in the head.

Just now Jiang Jin accidentally touched Ye Cheng’s waist, making him almost jump up.

Jiang Jin was extremely aggrieved: “I’m not the only one who touched him! If you have the ability, go and chop off their hands!”

Lu Xiao raised his fist: “Are you fucking reasonable?”

“If you want to do well in the test, you should touch him too!” Jiang Jin dropped a sentence, so cowardly he got into the test room abruptly.

…it seems to make sense.

Lu Xiao entered the examination room and sat down, boringly turning the 2B pencil.

He was sitting by the window, and there was a little snow outside, which fell on the edge of the window.

As the New Year is approaching and the place is remote, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers can occasionally be heard outside the examination room.

Having lived for eighteen years, this winter is what excites him.

After these two days and the end of the exam, the winter vacation will officially begin.

Ye Cheng said that after the exam, he would live at his house. If he can get 3‌A in the exam, he can make any request.

And Meng Li will be leaving in a few days, so he can stay with Ye Cheng alone for a few days.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiao was full of expectations for this winter.

Since he was a child, he hasn’t had a good New Year’s Eve. He has always followed his nanny and auntie to other people’s houses. This year, he can finally experience the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

He laughed out loud by the window, which attracted the invigilator to look at him strangely.

“Please check the sealing of the test paper bags…” the teacher said on the podium.
Lu Xiao retracted his attention and placed the documents one by one.

The pens in the pen bag were all used by Ye Cheng, he collected them in every possible way.

There is an unwritten custom in Class 20, that is, if you use the pen of the test god, you will get a good score in the test.

Lu Xiao is not a superstitious person, but this time he couldn’t help but believe it.

It was not until he got the papers and started answering the questions that he understood how crucial the training Ye Cheng usually gave him.

The first is proficiency-his reaction speed to answer questions is nearly twice as fast as before.

He had already finished writing in about half an hour.

The second is the pertinence. Ye Cheng gave him a lot of questions to answer and he should finish them on time.

In fact, it is not the case. Almost all the test questions are covered in his notes.

After the exam was over, Jiang Jin was about to go crazy.

He pulled Lu Xiao to the side and tried his best to keep his excited voice down: “Fuck! Brother Cheng is too good! I borrowed his notebook yesterday and wanted to sprint. I actually hit two questions !”

“There’s still the third-to-last question, and it turned out to be the one in the mock test!” Jiang Jin was about to burst into tears, “Woooooo, Brother Cheng is my father, Brother Cheng is really awesome.”

He was still immersed in the ecstasy of betting against the question, but Lu Xiao looked straight ahead as if he had been hooked.

Finally, Jiang Jin found that no one responded to him, and asked ignorantly, “Brother Xiao, what’s wrong with you?”

He saw Lu Xiao’s expression and followed his line of sight.

It is not allowed to wear school uniforms in the exam, everyone wears their own clothes.

Ye Cheng put on a light-colored short lamb fleece jacket, revealing the white turtleneck sweater inside.

Standing in the corridor, he looked more and more picturesque, so beautiful that it made people look sideways.

It felt like a person walked out of a painting.

Ye Cheng originally planned to come to the examination room to find Lu Xiao, but Yu Kun stopped him in the middle of getting the answer.

At this moment, he was talking to him with his head down, his light brown eyes focused and serious.

Lu Xiao walked over quickly and squeezed in between them.

Ye Cheng’s attention was immediately attracted to him: “You’re coming out soon, how did you do in the test?”

“It’s good, let’s go eat, I’m starving.” Lu Xiao turned him over, grabbed his shoulders and walked towards the stairs.

Yu Kun stood there dumbfounded, and said to himself, “No, just wait, I haven’t finished asking my questions.”

Jiang Jin passed by him and said sympathetically and sincerely, “Why don’t you ask me, I think I can get an A.”

Yu Kun had never seen such a person who was so outspoken, “…”
