“Hmm, I don’t know.” The little boy seemed to think about it seriously. “Sister, how about you answer as many questions as you want?”
Sheng Yang didn’t like to trouble herself, so she simply replied, “I received the paintings. Thank you. My mother liked them very much.”
“Um…” The little boy stopped talking. The frustration in his voice could be heard over the phone.
Sheng Yang smiled helplessly. “I’m eating and sleeping well too. You can come and play with me anytime.”
Her sweet voice finally sounded happy, as if it was full of sunshine.
Yi Juncheng, who was watching from the side, felt jealous.
He never knew he could be this childish.
Why was he bothered by a child who was still wet behind the ears?
Yes, it was worth feeling bothered over…
He suddenly leaned forward and whispered in Sheng Yang’s ear, “It’s almost time…”
His sexy and dreamy voice was picked up by the phone and reached the other side.
“Who is that?” The little boy was very sharp. Before he could get an answer from Sheng Yang, he suddenly burst into tears.
Sheng Yang was stunned. “Why are you crying?”
“I don’t think Sister belongs to me alone anymore.” Dennis cried pitifully.
Unfortunately, Sheng Yang didn’t buy it and replied bluntly, “I’ve never belonged to you alone.”
Yi Juncheng straightened up, suddenly feeling smug.
To him, Sheng Yang’s honesty was both a disaster and a blessing.
Dennis rubbed his eyes and chatted with Sheng Yang for a while more before hanging up the phone.
Sheng Yang hung up and looked at Yi Juncheng calmly.
Although she didn’t buy Dennis’ act earlier, she could also tell that Yi Juncheng had done it on purpose.
Yi Juncheng shrugged and said proudly, “I’m very good at making children cry.”
“… Why?” Sheng Yang thought he wouldn’t be petty with little children.
He leaned forward again, propping his hand on the table. His dark peach-blossom eyes shone like bright stones. “Because of you.”
Looking at her quiet and beautiful face, his Adam’s apple bobbed silently.
“Because he took up my time?” Sheng Yang lowered her head. “Okay, I see.”
Yi Juncheng rolled his eyes and suddenly remembered what he said earlier. “It’s about time…” He smiled. He had really shot himself in the foot.
However, her way of thinking was indeed really different from most people.
Sheng Yang quickly lowered her head and finished the equations.
The densely packed numbers were dizzying.
Sensing that the electrocardiogram was also full of lines, she blinked.

Sheng Yue finally came to class with her wrist wrapped in white gauze.
She had already lost too much. She understood her current situation very well. Fleeing wouldn’t make things better. On the contrary, it would only make everything worse.
But she didn’t expect… to see her brother, Sheng An, at the school gates.
She was a little angry. Her mother hadn’t even told her about this. Why did she transfer him to the school opposite her?
Unlike most siblings, she hated her domineering younger brother.
Her younger brother didn’t look like her at all. He was chubby and had a nasty personality.
Sheng An obviously noticed Sheng Yue too. Although he had never called Sheng Yue “Sister” before, he normally would still acknowledge her presence with a few sarcastic sentences. But this time, he just stared at Sheng Yue before turning around and leaving.
Sheng Yue stared at Sheng An’s back and immediately took out her phone. She wanted to ask her mother about it when she suddenly thought of something and put the phone back down.
