There is a famous saying: It is better to waste others’ energy than to waste your own energy.

　　Shen Chu was determined to implement this, so he stood among the children, stretched out his hands, one in each hand, and “hugged” the two people beside him, with a cute and kind smile on his little face: “Tell me, what are you talking about?”

　　The children looked at each other, with visible embarrassment on their faces.

　　Probably no one expected that the person involved would actually come directly over… This would make it difficult for them!

　　Moreover, Shen Chu not only came over himself, but also called Xie Shiming over. Together, they seemed to be telling them not to leave unless they told him. What’s more, Xie Shiming was much taller than most of the other children, and it was quite oppressive standing next to them.

　　”Hey, it’s okay, let’s just chat.”

　　Shen Chu acted like a gangster boss, with a cigarette almost hanging from his lips. “It’s like this, I’m just worried that the information you got is wrong, which would be bad, so tell me, so that I can correct the wrong information for you.”

　　”After all, it’s better to ask the person involved than anyone else, right?”

　　Because of Shen Chu’s “good attitude”, and because he was “caught red-handed”, as well as curiosity, he hesitated for a few seconds, and someone actually spoke first –

　　”We didn’t really talk about anything, it was just…”

　　The other party looked at Xie Shiming, and then continued: “Why is your brother’s surname ‘Xie’? Shouldn’t his surname be Shen? And the new guy in our class is also named Xie, so shouldn’t they be relatives?”

　　”Yes, why are you called Xie Shiming? Aren’t you the child that the Shen family found outside?”

　　”Does the Shen family not like you? I heard that you used to be poor.”

　　”Shen Chu, Qi Yuansi said you are taking over the magpie’s nest.”

　　”Do you know what the idiom ‘cuckoo takes over the magpie’s nest’ means? He asked me to tell you -“

　　”He is not.”

　　Before Shen Chu could say anything, the other party’s voice was interrupted by Xie Shiming.

　　Xie Shiming frowned, looked over, and repeated: “Shen Chu is not.”

　　There was not a trace of hesitation in his tone.

　　Shen Chu blinked. He didn’t expect that when someone said that he was a poor man, Xie Shiming not only didn’t refute it, but even his expression didn’t change. Instead, he responded for him.

　　But it’s also true that when it comes to himself, Xie Shiming has always been taciturn and too lazy to talk back.

　　But doing is more important than talking. If it really affects something, proving it with facts will be more effective than anything else.

　　”If it’s not, then it’s not. We didn’t say that.”

　　”Yes, we heard it too.”

　　”And who doesn’t know what happened in your family…”

　　Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, especially with dissatisfaction towards Xie Shiming, the fat boss took action in time –

　　”Stop!”

　　Shen Chu took Xie Shiming’s hand and said, “Come with me first.”

　　Then he turned around and said, “Wait here for a while!”

　　Xie Shiming was pulled aside. Shen Chu made a judgment and confirmed that Xie Shiming would not hear anything at this distance. He pressed his shoulder and then stood on tiptoe to pat Xie Shiming’s head: “Wait for me here for a while.”

　　Xie Shiming: “?”

　　Seeing Shen Chu turning around and about to leave, he quickly pulled his hand and asked, “What are you going to do?”

　　”Oh, what can I do?”

　　After Shen Chu finished speaking, he suddenly stared at Xie Shiming for a few seconds, and then approached him unexpectedly –

　　”Brother, are you worried about me?”

　　”So you like me very much?”

　　Of course Xie Shiming couldn’t answer it.

　　However, Shen Chu had teased him enough and turned to walk away, but he suddenly heard him speak behind him –

　　”I’m right here watching you.”

　　The little fat boy tilted his head and thought, does this mean “I’ll be here to protect you”?

　　Ouch, that’s so awkward~~~

　　…

　　When Shen Chu came back, the children were still there.

　　Either he was obedient, or he was curious about what Shen Chu wanted to do.

　　In addition, children are more sensitive, and they could clearly feel that Xie Shiming was somewhat dissatisfied with them. However, Shen Chu pulled him away in time, so the children “gave him face” and did not leave.

　　But Xie Shiming was dissatisfied, and they were also dissatisfied.

　　They are all children who have been spoiled by their families since childhood. Who can be the “little punching bag”?

　　Shen Chu saw the expressions on their faces and thought to himself that rumors stop at the wise… Ugh! That’s not true! Others can spread it, so why can’t he? Rumors are also spreading, it just depends on who spreads it better.

　　So the little fat boy clicked his tongue twice and waved his little hand at a few people.

　　Several children: “?”

　　”What are you doing?”

　　Shen Chu smiled sweetly: “Do you want to hear a story?”

　　”I’ll tell you stories for free.”

　　”It’s a story that’s even better than the tadpole looking for its mother. It’s so touching and moving!”

　　…

　　During the free time, most of the other children were playing, but Qi Yuansi was still reading a book. But today he couldn’t concentrate on reading. He kept glancing to the other side from time to time, pretending to be casual, and then looking back.

　　After going back and forth several times, I suddenly discovered that the “small pile” on the opposite side had actually expanded and there were more people!

　　It’s strange, what is Shen Chu doing?

　　Qi Yuansi doesn’t just care, he cares extremely!

　　At this moment, he couldn’t sit still, scratching his ears and cheeks, feeling itchy inside, but he couldn’t go over there for the sake of saving his face.

　　If you go past it, you lose!

　　Just like that, he finally got to see those guys coming back—his small advance team!

　　But before Qi Yuansi could ask any questions, he saw that the eyes of these people who came back were red, as if they had been crying.

　　One of them was even rubbing his eyes.

　　Qi Yuansi was stunned for a moment, then jumped up instantly: “What happened? Did Shen Chu hit you?!”

　　No way, that white bun can fight three at once?!

　　”No, Shen Chu didn’t beat us. He told us stories.”

　　”Tell a story?”

　　Qi Yuansi frowned: “What story?”

　　When did Shen Chu start telling stories? !

　　“A very touching and moving story!”

　　Qi Yuansi: “?”

　　Several children started talking at once – Shen Chu told them about Xie Wenshan bringing Xie Shiming over, and the reason why Xie Shiming didn’t want to change his name, etc.

　　After artistic processing and literary enhancement, and then using the writing style he used when writing college entrance examination essays as examples, how could a fat boy with a high school education not be able to grasp this group of illiterate little kids who were just in the last year of kindergarten?

　　That must be impossible!

　　What’s more, Shen Chu had sent Xie Shiming away in advance, which left him with a huge amount of room and space to play –

　　The world changes with his hands and the world with his mouth, and he talks in all his ways to make people cry. He wants to let these little illiterate people see what the knowledge base and literary accomplishment are at the peak of their life!

　　”Xie Shiming is so pitiful.”

　　”Yes, he is a good boy and his family likes him very much.”

　　”His parents are nice too, they don’t spank him. I want parents like that too, but they even let him watch cartoons.”

　　”Qi Yuansi, please stop talking about others.”

　　”We are going to go find Xie Shiming to play together.”

　　Several people asked Qi Yuansi if he wanted to go.

　　Qi Yuansi didn’t know whether he was angry or something, his face turned red, and he muttered angrily: “I’m not going!”

　　”Oh, all right then.”

　　Seeing that they were about to leave, Qi Yuansi immediately stretched out his hand: “Wait! Then why did you come back? Just to tell me this?”

　　”Oh, no.”

　　”Oh yeah, I almost forgot—”

　　Qi Yuansi: “What did you forget?”

　　”That’s right. Shen Chu asked you if you knew what it meant to be touching and moving. He said he could come over and explain it to you. Also, the idiom “the cuckoo taking over the magpie’s nest” is too simple. He asked you not to bring it to him to embarrass yourself.”

　　Qi Yuansi: “…”

　　He might as well not ask!

　　It was as if he could see Shen Chu making the “yeah” gesture, swaying in front of his eyes——

　　This time there are two idioms.

　　Two oh!

　　You can imagine the little fat boy with his hands on his hips, smiling smugly!

　　And he! Once again lost miserably!

　　He hates it!

　　Qi Yuansi was so angry that he wanted to punch the ground!

　　After everyone left, he sat there feeling annoyed, feeling more lonely than ever before!

　　At this moment, someone sat down next to him.

　　”Are you okay?”

　　”Actually, it’s good that you don’t go play with Xie Shiming.”
