She Is Brighter Than the Stars

His voice was not loud, just enough for Xie Junyu who hadn’t gone far to hear.

Cheng Nian didn’t think too much, and said directly, “Just buy some buns.”

Li Shubai responded and walked towards the locker room.

After Cheng Nian sat down, Mi Le moved closer to her and gossiped mysteriously, “What’s your relationship with the monitor?”

Cheng Nian said calmly, “I asked him to tutor me.”

Mi Le’s eyes widened, “Really? You two don’t talk much in school.”

“I didn’t give him money to tutor me in school.”

Mi Le smiled embarrassedly, “Hee hee, I thought you guys were trying to avoid suspicion.”

Cheng Nian patted her on the head lightly, “What are you thinking, little rascal, can you decorate your mind with something related to study?”

As soon as Xie Junyu left, Mi Le became more casual, “Don’t be so rigid, there are a lot of people in school who are in love.”

Cheng Nianzheng said Lingran: “That’s because they don’t have a clear life dream, so they blindly fall in love when it’s time to study.”

Just like my former self.

Mi Le smiled, threw a lollipop into her mouth, and said leisurely while looking at the sky.

“Maybe.”

As soon as the sports meeting was over, the weather turned completely cold.

The leaves on the tree seemed to have made an appointment, and all fell from the branches overnight.

In the class, the atmosphere of study became more and more tense.

The ever-changing countdown to the college entrance examination at the top right of the blackboard seems to remind everyone at any time.

There is not much time left for them.

Another mock test was conducted, and Cheng Nian’s score remained unchanged, but the wrong questions on the test paper were completely different from last time.

Cheng Nian was naturally anxious, but when she saw Li Shubai’s frowning and worried face when facing her test paper, she felt that she still didn’t pay enough attention to this matter.

In the room, the atmosphere was oppressive as if frozen.

Like a child who has done something wrong, Cheng Nian carefully stared at Li Shubai, a little afraid that he would lose his temper.

Finally, Li Shubai put down her paper, frowning like a rag.

Cheng Nian took the test paper back and said in a whisper, “It’s not that bad.”

Li Shubai sighed, “Where do you want to go?”

Cheng Nian lowered his eyebrows and did not talk back. Her fingers were twisted together, almost crushing the roll.

Knowing that it was useless to criticize Cheng Nian, Li Shubai took a deep breath and asked patiently.

“Do you understand what the teacher said in class?”

Cheng Nian looked at Li Shubai slowly, hesitated to speak, and shook his head embarrassingly.

The teacher lectures for everyone, so how can she take special care of underachievers like her.

At this time, Su Huiyu came in with two cups of steaming milk tea, and said pleasantly to the two little guys.

“It’s snowing.”

Cheng Nian’s attention turned to the window.

Li Shubai smiled helplessly, as if he finally knew how Cheng Nian’s temperament of not paying much attention to anything was formed.

In the gray sky, the snowflakes are like a densely woven snow-white net, covered layer by layer.

Cheng Nian opened the window, and the biting cold wind blew into the warm room, causing Su Huiyu to scream.

She reached out to catch a snowflake and quickly closed it. The flocculent ice crystals touched the warm air and instantly melted into water in her hands, but still carried the coolness of winter.

After a while, Lao Chengtou also ran up, talking enthusiastically to the people in the room.

“Let’s go to the hot springs.”

Su Huiyu immediately agreed, “Okay, this weather is the most suitable for soaking in hot springs.”

Cheng Nian felt that both of them had forgotten that there was another person at home.

Seeing Li Shubai’s embarrassing expression, Cheng Nian couldn’t bear it and said, “I won’t go, you two go together, I still have to study.”

Su Huiyu sighed, “It’s not too late, Shubai, you come too, there are her brother’s swimsuit at home, they are all new.”

Li Shubai showed embarrassment, “No, I have to help my mother set up a stall later.”

Su Huiyu waved her hand and said sincerely, “Call your mother to join us. There will be more people and it will be lively.”

Li Shubai refused repeatedly, but he was no match for Su Huiyu’s enthusiasm.

Cheng Nian knew that his mother would not give up until she achieved her goal, so she said to Li Shubai, “Call Auntie and ask her if she wants to go.”

Li Shubai had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and call Li Ying.

Before he opened his mouth when the call was connected, Su Huiyu picked up the phone.

“Hi, is that Shubai’s mother? I’m Cheng Nian’s mother.”

Su Huiyu walked out of Cheng Nian’s room with his mobile phone, not knowing what Li Ying said in the corridor.

Five minutes later, Su Huiyu returned the phone to Li Shubai with a smile.

“Let’s go.”

Cheng Nian and Lao Chengtou looked at each other and smiled, expressing silent admiration for Su Huiyu’s social skills.

In the white family car, Lao Chengtou was driving, and Li Shubai was sitting in the passenger seat.

Cheng Nian was caught between the two mothers, wishing she could become a thin piece of paper.

At first, Li Ying was a little cautious, but she relaxed a little after listening to Su Huiyu’s story of how they started from scratch.

Cheng Nian was a little impatient at first, but she was fascinated by what she heard, and smiled lightly.

“Why have I never heard you say this before?”

Su Huiyu scolded, “You young people don’t know how to care about your parents.”

Having said that in a hurry, Su Huiyu began to tell Li Ying about Cheng Nian’s outrageous things before.

Hearing Su Huiyu say, “She chased around that brat like a demon”, Cheng Nian wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Li Ying was also embarrassed, because that brat was her son.

Cheng Nian hurriedly interrupted: “Mom, Mom, please say something nice about me.”

Su Huiyu glanced at Li Shubai who was sitting in front, smiled meaningfully, and then told the story about her and Lao Chengtou setting up a street stall before.

After more than forty minutes of driving, the car stopped at the entrance of a hot spring pavilion built on the mountainside in the suburbs.

Cheng Nian saw that Li Ying was at a loss with the cards in her hand, so she found the cabinet first and opened it several times.

Li Ying understood at a glance.

Although it was the weekend, because they came earlier, there were not many people in the venue.

Su Huiyu waved her hand, “Go and play by yourself, don’t disturb our adults’ party.”

She kicked Cheng Nian and Shubai away.

Seeing the mysterious smile on Su Huiyu’s face when she left, Cheng Nian roared in her heart.

Mom, did you misunderstand something?

Seeing the three of them talking and laughing towards the sand bath room in the distance, Cheng Nian said awkwardly to Li Shubai: “Let’s go outside, there is an open-air pool outside.”

Li Shubai glanced at Cheng Nian’s conservative black swimsuit, and responded in a low voice.

There was no one inside, and even fewer people outside.

After walking for five minutes in the woods wrapped in a bath towel, Cheng Nian finally found a pool she liked better.

She hung the towel on the tree branch and walked down the stone steps into the water.

It felt a little hot at first, but after getting used to it, Cheng Nian sat directly on the stone bench protruding around the pool, the water just barely reaching her shoulders.

Li Shubai then came in and sat opposite Cheng Nian.

After sitting looking at each other for a while, Li Shubai said.

“Is there anything special about this pool?”
