Since the last time Chi’s father came to the school, Chi Yi did have a few days of peace.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Shen Ge officially started the plan of tutoring Chi Yi and wrote a schedule very carefully. Chi Yi felt a little headache and secretly looked at Shen Ge’s schedule. It was well organized and the number of questions arranged was not too many. If he studied according to this schedule, his grades might really improve a lot.
Chi Yi was defeated by the dimple, and it was not easy to regret now. He had to resign himself to taking off his headphones, picking up his blank paper and filling in the content bit by bit.
Shen Ge watched Chi Yi really start to study, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Ge took some time to go back and see his father and mother these days, but heard that Chi’s father was going to invest in them.
Shen’s mother was a person who acted decisively, but she was unusually a little embarrassed at this moment: “Last time, your father came to have a meal with us, and I cooked some dishes at home. He thought they tasted good, and suggested that we buy a storefront to sell snacks. He would pay the most for the money, and we would… join in the technical work, and we wouldn’t have to work so hard setting up a stall every day. Look, your father and I haven’t discussed it yet.”
Technology investment?
Shen Ge didn’t know about this, and Chi’s father never talked about it at home. Shen Ge guessed that Chi’s father felt guilty about what happened at school last time, so he suggested helping his parents set up a storefront to do business.
Shen Ge was very tempted by this suggestion. Winter was coming after autumn, and it would be too painful to set up a stall in such a cold weather.
There was hesitation and struggle on Mr. Shen’s face. He was a grown man but he couldn’t support the family and had to rely on others to pay for the store. He couldn’t get over this!
But the child needs money to go to school, Shen Yao is not in good health, and she will need money to get married and start a family in the future. It’s just money, so just treat it as a loan from Chi’s. At most, I can pay them back with interest later!
Shen Ge held Shen’s mother’s hand and persuaded her: “Mom, we are just setting up a store. If we want to make money, we still have to rely on your skills. It’s not like we are taking his money for nothing. What’s more, he is also my father. Dad, Mom, don’t think too much.”
After discussing with each other, Shen’s father and mother finally gritted their teeth and agreed to Chi’s father’s proposal. While Chi’s father and mother were chatting, Shen Ge knocked on Shen Yao’s bedroom door and was stunned when he saw the celebrity posters all over the wall: “Are you chasing stars?”
Shen Yao quickly waved her hands: “I don’t, I just like it!” After that, Shen Yao immediately pulled Shen Ge into the room and gently closed the door. Then she whispered to Shen Ge: “Brother, keep it a secret for me, don’t tell my parents, otherwise I will be scolded.”
Shen Ge nodded helplessly and glanced at the star on the poster, who seemed to be the leading actor in a recent costume drama. He just said, “Don’t let it interfere with your studies.”
Shen Ge almost forgot what he was going to ask Shen Yao after discovering that she was a fan. He immediately pulled Shen Yao to sit down and asked her tentatively: “If… I mean, there is someone who always stares at your face and thinks you are cute, what do you think is the reason?”
Shen Yao smiled and leaned forward, her eyes gleaming with gossip: “Of course I like you! Brother, is there anyone pursuing you?”
Shen Ge pushed Shen Yao away embarrassedly and said seriously: “It’s impossible for him to like me. I just want to know what you think.”
Shen Yao knew her brother was embarrassed, so she didn’t tease him. She rolled her eyes and said, “Oh, not necessarily. Just like when I was pursuing Chu Ye, he was the cutest in my eyes. It didn’t stop me from calling him ‘baby’ every day, hehe.”
Chu Ye is the male star on the poster.
”You said you don’t chase stars.” Shen Ge tapped Shen Yao’s forehead, and his mind suddenly became clear.
Shen Ge knew that he had been good-looking since he was a child. He had the kind of cute appearance that the mothers liked the most. When he was taken out to buy vegetables by his mother, his uncles and aunts would give her an extra shallot or two cloves of garlic.
Now that I think about it, it might be because I can occasionally hear Chi Yi’s inner voice that I have preconceived ideas. Chi Yi’s liking for me is probably similar to Shen Yao’s mentality of chasing stars, so I should just treat it with a normal attitude.
Shen Ge figured out the little problem that was bothering him, while Chi Yi on this side was really suffering from insomnia.
”I deserve to die!”
Chi Yi sat up from the bed for the seventh time and rubbed his hair that was a mess.
Chi Yi thought about what he had done these days. He had originally agreed to stay away from the protagonist, but now, not only did he stand up for Shen Ge, he couldn’t help but ask Chi’s father for help.
Not only that, he also promised Shen Ge that he would study hard. The protagonist did not get further and further away, but the questions he had to do became more and more.
Chi Yi felt that he might as well just change his name to Chi Yizhi[1]nothing much, just calling himself baby Chi Yi, as Chi Yi means slow mover too.
On the first day, I will stay away from the protagonist.
The next day, do the questions.
On the third day, do the exercises.
Chi Yi: …
Chi Yi fell backwards weakly and covered his face with the quilt.
The dimples are hurting me!
Chi Yi couldn’t fall asleep, so he picked up his phone and searched for sleep-inducing videos. The popular video turned out to be a collection of math lessons. Chi Yi lowered the screen brightness, turned down the sound, and hid under the quilt to watch, trying to hypnotize himself with math lessons.
The teacher was a middle-aged man with thinning hair. He spoke very slowly, and the pauses between his sentences were as quiet as a still picture. There was even a highly praised message on the barrage, which read: That’s great, he’s a miracle doctor, our insomnia is cured!
