As if it were a treasure, Rong Si carefully placed the “strawberry” in the drawer and locked it. He then focused on his homework.
These assignments were like child’s play to him. He finished them in half an hour. However, he did not slack off and started reading the more advanced textbooks.
Perhaps, I should consider skipping a grade.
In the kitchen, Song Wanqiu cooked herself a simple dinner and warmed a glass of milk for Rong Si. Suddenly, the phone in her pocket rang, indicating that she had just received a message.
Song Wanqiu took out her phone and saw Sheng Tianci’s name on the screen. She pursed her lips and felt a little uneasy.
“Did everything go well at school?”
After she had added him on WeChat, she had not contacted him. Him suddenly sending her a message had caught Song Wanqiu off guard.
She replied, “It went well. Thank you very much.”
“You’ve already thanked me many times. Like I said, you don’t need to be so polite. If you continue like this, I’ll get angry.”
Sheng Tianci sent an emoji of an angry kitten. Song Wanqiu suddenly smiled and burst out laughing.
She did not expect a man like him to send such a cute emoji.
“I’m sorry,” she replied. “It’s just that I really don’t know how to thank you”
“I have a good idea. Treat me to a meal.”
Song Wanqiu was speechless.
A man dining together with a woman could look suspicious. However, it was true that Song Wanqiu had to treat Sheng Tianci to a meal. After all, she could not just express her gratitude through empty words alone.
Besides, he had helped her so much. She had no reason to reject such a small request.
Hence, she replied, “Okay. You can decide the time and place.”
Meanwhile, in the Sheng family residence.
When Sheng Tianci read Song Wanqiu’s reply, he could not help but smile.
Right now, he was sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching television with his family. However, he was so focused on his phone that he did not notice his parents staring at him.
Why is this kid staring at his phone and smiling foolishly?
As an experienced woman, Old Mistress Sheng suddenly realized that her son might be in a relationship!
Oh my god, is this virgin finally going to date someone?
“Something’s wrong,” she whispered to her husband.
Old Master Sheng agreed.
Just like that, the two of them secretly stared at their son. Seeing how focused he was on his phone and the huge grin on his face, they became even more certain of their guess.
“Ahem!” Old Mistress Sheng cleared her throat.
Sheng Tianci immediately came back to his senses. Realizing that his mind had wandered off earlier, he immediately hid his smile and continued watching the television as if nothing had happened.
However, his mother was not one to give up so easily. She tentatively asked, “Tianci, who were you talking to just now? Did something happen? Share it with us!”
Sheng Tianci pretended as if nothing had happened. “I wasn’t talking to anyone. It’s just a friend.”
“Oh, is it a man or a woman?” Old Mistress Sheng kept probing. Her instincts told her that it must be a girl.
Sheng Tianci was a little embarrassed. “He’s a guy!”
“Is that so?” Old Mistress Sheng didn’t expose him. Instead, she went along with what he said. “You’re old enough to date. Stop hanging out with men all the time and find yourself a girlfriend. Look at Su Shengjing! He’s the same age as you, but he already has such a big child. Little Jiu is so adorable! Don’t you want a daughter like her?”
